We found Dr. Bolstadt just leaving his Office, in the crowded streets of Chicago, rushing to catch the next car to his suburban home, where a dainty little woman, with whom he had fallen in love while making a professional call, anxiously awaited his honie-eoming. Even now our two former elasse mates were inseparable. Just across the street from Dr. Bolstadis home stood another equally as beautiful, which one could see by the plate on the door was that of Benjamin L. Larsen7 Band Master, the height of whose fame could not be equalled in our country. With a sigh we lost sight of this beautiful picture and the Vale of Para- dise met our gaze. Whom should we find here? was the question in our minds, but it was soon answered. A glance into the office of the Superinten- dent of Public Instruction showed us that our old friend iVIcTaggart was still a necessity to the Valparaiso citizens. He no longer ttLived high third hocr Lembkej, for that dear Michigan girl, itBetter than a sister? of whom we had heard so much, had at last yielded to his teachings. Among the widely known and most noted scientists of their country Hade and Gorham stand pre-eminent. By their patient, untiring efforts they have made many important discoveries in Physiological Chemistry and thereby have added much to the advancement of this science. The laws of Hade and Gorham are now-as common as those of Mendelejeff', Avogadro, Henry and Boyle. i We next beheld a sight which was very pleasing. Our attention was attracted by a large cathedral toward which people were thronging. A few minutes later the shepherd 0f the flock came slowly down the street. He was a very modest man with a rather decorous 100k. Under one arm he carried a copy of Shakesreareis iiA Midsummer Nightis Dream,ii and under the pro- tection of the Other walked a beautiful lady. This man was a Christian minister, our Louisiana classmate, Christopher Columbus Whisenhunt and the lady at his side, his wife. He had been delivering a series of lectures on the subject, itWhat love has done for me and what it can do for you.H We were told that while giving his lectures he very frequently quoted his former classmate, Edward Anderson. A very common quotation is Andersonis definition of a stroll. itA stroll is a slow promenade during which a youthful couple, dead to the world, looses itself in the delight- ful nothings 0f dawning love.,, We were told that Clay W. Hockenbery had realized his ambition and had become professor of Psychology in Cornell University. He has written a number of books on this subject. Among them we find one entitled, ttDoes

He has also developed great ability as a. singer and 'it is said he spends the greater part of his time singing in grand opera. Like Ichabod Crane, his voice is soothing and melodious and can be heard seven- teen blocks away. He had a soft and foolish heart toward the fair sex; and it is not to be wondered at that he soon found favor in the eyes of a bachelor lady of forty-seven and he no longer envies NLucky JimW Once more the beautiful city known as the city of HSchools and Churchesf7 came to View. ' Here we saw C. F. Maple who, because of his proficiency, patience and great ability, had attained the eminent position of professor of Zoology. In this capacity he had distinguished himself both in teaching and original research work In his youth he was very charming and handsome, thus attracting many admirers, all of whom met with the same fate, of being turned away with tearfiil eyes. It was said he often remarked that it was easier for him to break a loveris heart than to sever the valves of a Lampsilis luteolus. At last Nellie attracted his attention. His heart finally yielded to cupid,s darts, but alasi it was too late; she would not wait. Bewailing his fate he betook himself to Neptune to continue his study in i t Bugology. t, Looking over the class r011 we found that, with the exception of one, the entire Classic class had either appeared upon the screen 01' been heard of. We began to question what had become of. the NLittle Girlfi whose smiling face had been like a shining star in the midst of us. After inquiring concerning her whereabouts the Marites replied thus: HYour classmate, Rilla Summers, has attained honors excelled by none other of the class. She has become very famous throughout the land as a novelist. and poetess. in both the English and German language.
