before 1110 war, I doubt whether it was as true as it was at the turn of the century. Then we usod to talk ttoo much, it soomod to mot ahout ttclass spiritiE we had clues canes and sweaters, class rushes, class hasohall and foothall games. class track meets, and oven class speaking contests. At the end of each year we had a class supper, with a good deal of drinking;r and a lot of speeches filled with some- limos rather maudlin sentiment. Aftvr tho senior supper. which ended considerably after midnight. we went in a hody t0 hid t'arvwell to each college building and give a cheer for each. W'c sang some hymns for the last time in the chapel; and us we came out we formed a line, and each man wont down the line and shook hands with oavh of his classmatvs. Tours woro shod on those occasions, with no apparent shame. I do not mourn the passing of those h'good old days . which did not seem to me at the time particularly good. I was a non-conformist, and most of these manifestations of class spirit struck 1110 as rather silly. Some of them still seem so; hut forty-odd years later 1 am not so sure. I think lllL' boys who are graduating.r in this decade are a more svnsihlc and intelligent lot than we were. And yet I sometimes suspect that in discarding our foolishness they may have lost something of value. Even that farewell midnight chapel ceremony is rather pleasant to remember. In 1946 . . .
