13 are wild all the time in their thoughts. He has demonstrated his executive ability by his management of the Prohibition league of this city, and has shown physical skill in the work he has done as Professor of Club Swinging. Mr. Bradford was admitted into the organization some time during the first term, because of the fact that he had passed through the lower stages in Yale University and came to do his postgraduate work here. He went to work with an effort considerably spurred onward by an indirect interest, and showed us that he could actually do some good work in spite of habits con- tracted at Yale. Mr. Bolstad has won a place in the estimation of the class, which might easily be envied and was unanimously chosen as the iirst President of the organization, and performed his function here, as ably as his regular student work His duties were divided somewhat, since he joined the Pharmie tribe, but yet they were done well, and showed us another example of an athlete who was a student in the true sense. Although he was unknown to some of our new members, he soon established his worth with these and retained his prese tige throughout the year. , Mr. Baldwin has attracted attention in the class because of his great number of philosophical questions, and their relation to the subjects which Were before it for discussion. He has also been a member of the Junior Law class during the year, and this fact will probably explain his genius for laying plans, his skill in dealing with people, and his terrier like quality of holding on to the issue until he makes his point. Mr. Cook has occupied his position in the class so, quietly that when he was nominated for a public office, several of the friends had to inquire from whence he came, and what his business was: but, nevertheless, he was always present and ready when wanted, and achieved a reputation for modesty, earnestness and work. Miss DeWitt has passed through all the stages of development with this class, all the time holding a record for her student habits and reserved char- acteristics which protruded so far as to attract attention. Her name has always stood out sounding the war cry against anything that was loud, as tt green t, for a class color. degrees to the names, but was frequently too weak since a great majority of her class lacked culture sufficient to aid her. Mr. Funkhouser has shown himself worthy in many ways. He thought he was a pure member of the Classic Class until the summer term when he decided to finish the P10fessi0nal course and loaded himself with quite an extensive program which he has digested even unto the end. . 1G0rhan1, a representative teacher of the tt Sunny Southf, joined the ranksI at the opening of the year, after passing through the lower stages of development in the schools of his native state. He has demonstrated beyond a doubt that his work is not a failure and is fully prepared for the study of medicine.

14 Miss Heck has shown what a Hoosier high school girl can do by the work she has done in all the stages of her mental evolution. She was elected as our first Secretary, and Historian of the Professional class, in spite of the fact that she is a great social figure, and is kept very busy in that kind of work. Mr. Hade is not very closely related to this class since he did most of his work with another, but he was with us long enough to show that he was a student and cause us to think that possibly he was specializing in Latin, but it was soon noticed that he was also a Medic and would probably specialize in that direction. He achieved a reputation as an athlete and may yet renvh distinction. Mr. Kratky joined the class in its present stage of development, and gave us some inferences with iiundisturbed middlesW from which we deduced that probably he was a social creature, because he had to practice so much self-denial to prevent going to sleep in class. Mr. Larsen was chosen as treasurer for the class and managed his affairs so well that he often reminded one of J . P. Morgan of New York City. He aided Mr. Anderson in establishing the fact that the Scandinavians are, after all, capable of development of which there is apparently no end. Mr. Keppel, a preacher from the Land of Nod, decided to steer his boat in this direction for one more year, and in spite of his many social functions, showed that many rough edges had been planed before he came, and that he was probably retraveling the path, and had passed through several stages in his development before. The class expressed their confidence by selecting hini unanimously as their Toast Respondent. Mr. Maple has been very reserved during the year, but this summer he decided to drop his Latin and Ethics and take up social functions, and he has performed them so well that there seems to be some show for the Buckeye boy at last. His work in the Natural Science shows what he can do and gives our prophet a promising field. Mr. McClure has shown the nature of a fully developed social man and has set up an ideal for the entire class, after which Gentlemen Southwick, Larsen, Gorham, Swanson and Weller are striving, and the rest seem to be looking at it askanee, and show some indications already of being old bach- elors. He served as our third Vice-President and filled his post with honors. Mr. McTaggart, the choice of the class, has remained faithful and in Spite of the fact that he had many flatterers, he remains apparently undefiled. He has cultivated many acquaintanceships, but his social horizon has been widened and it may take some time yet for him to reach his culmination along that line. Mr. Morris, the Keystone minister, has shown marked ability in the mental sciences in spite of the fact that he is finishing three courses in one year, and demonstrates that much can be done and yet done well. Miss Rosenblatt, the choice idealist of the class, was chosen to represent
