FZAGULTYI' Enirenlali. 35.-f'g,,g.y,1'F all the classes that have attended this College during my I experience-and I have been a member of the Faculty for a number of years-none, I think I may safely say, has shown to its instructors more uniform consideration and respect, or more kindly affection, than the present Junior Class. It is for this reason, perhaps, that while we have done our duty to all classes with a faithfulness and self-denial, to qiiote the words of our worthy leader, unsurpassed in any college in the land, we have experienced toward Eighty-eight a peculiar affection, and have watched over them with a paternal interest, that even they, we fear, have not fully appreciated. ' 1 It is an evidence of this' strong bond of affinity in which we feel a just pride, that we have been requested-nay, implored, to contribute a few lines to this volume. And while it must be confessed that though personally the writer is not accustomed to this sort of work, and is far more at home in another branch of literature, he nevertheless enters upon the task willingly and even joyfully.

When, for instance, our worthy Professor of Biology exhibits his nobly independent spirit in a peculiar and highly original system of marking, it is sometimes absurdly alleged that he shakes up the vari- ous grades and names in a hat, and draws them forth at random, when necessity arises. Suppose, if we may suppose, even for a moment, that the theory is true, that, weighed down by the colossal tasks that even his well-known and astounding industry can barely cope With, he has resorted to such a method. In such a case, it is certain that the higher mathematical methods used by the gentleman Whose dut it is to CO1 . . Y ' late and arrange the marks for publication will entirely destroy their original semblance, and thus equalize all errors. But such discussion as this is useless, for the theory cannot be true. Any one who knows h - . . aug t of the character of the Professor in quest1on,w1l1 agree that 22
