History of the Academic Graduating Class of 97 Prociil, O . ' piocul else t rojani ! HE Academic graduates have the floor, and claim full possession. With bated breath let the shiver- ing Bics. and all small fry attend while the His- toric Muse touches my lips with a live cigarette stump and infuses inspiration into my heart ' s core. In the first place, I am led to observe that in what- ever light considered the superiority of the Academ. over the Bic. is undisputed, — save by incompetent and preju- diced persons. The Bic. comes and goes like the waver- ing tide. He springs into existence like the mushroom, and as suddenly sinks into oblivion. The Academ., on the other hand, comes to stay. His growth is slow, but sure. Starting from the weakest beginning as a verdant Freshman, he broadens in stature and in mind through- out his course. Around his heart ' s affections are twined the Alma Maternal apron-strings, till, when his gradua- tion day comes he finds that his home is here, his friends are here and his treasure and his heart are here. What wonder, then, that we of ' 97 feel our bosoms swell with emotion when we realize that soon the cords must be broken, the tender ties loosed. At this closing moment of our history we are con- strained to glance back over the events of the years behind us. In rapid succession they pass before us, and, as they go, we realize that in nothing pertaining to the true and faithful performance of undergraduate duties have we been wanting. As each fall term has rolled around we have rushed the P ' reshmen for the final ball election, and many are the stern and deep arguments with which we have loaded their unsuspect- ing minds. We have regu- larly attended the opening re- ceptions of the V. M. C. A., and the Sunday meetings — occasionally. Most persist- ently have we averred that the foot-ball team would defeat our neighbors, the Cadets, and in this, our final year, we have had our prophecy fulfilled to our immeasurable surprise and delectation. In literary society matters we have shone signally as the preeminent champions of Roberts ' Rules of Order, to the successful exclusion of all debate upon the question under discussion, and have learned thereby to evade in the most artistic manner the fines attendant on neglected duty.
