games Eourewm 3-xgjgjg 'l'-' 113 '.'.: T is a time-honored privilege of the Seniors to escape some- what the fate of the Uprofanum Vulgus In thlicpujbhcatz tion, to be exempt, that is, in a measure from grinds. We cling the more strenuously to this prerog2l'E1Ve, because we need it more than most classes. From our ea1'1ieS13 days We have been a fruitful subject for thelfunny men of the College. Even Our own representatives could not find any class nearly. so worthy of grinding as We were. It will be a new and very refreshing change to see a GUL come out that is not composed in large part of M1HCf,S innocence and Richards' eccentricities, of Lay's laugh and Harvard Billy's toughness. just think of how they might have ground us! To tell the truth, we h6lU67Z,f done much to be proud of this year. That lonely kicking foot-ball at the games, and the aptitude of the wily but wicked Sophs at unravelling Fid's curves, have rather lowered our athletic reputation, and we never had much of. any other. But what is the use of all this ? What we have been and what we are can have but little longer interest for any one. We shall go, and other men will take our places, and year by year our memory will fade, until we reach. the stage when the '4 class of '87 will only mean a list of names in the triennial, and that too plentifully bestarred. And yet, we must leave something--a certain feeling among the men with whom we have been in contact these four years, a certain impress upon the College, and its customs and traditions-this ,must be, in the case of every class. We dare to hope that, on the whole, our iniiuence has been for good. In athletics we have furnished many strong men to the College teamsg in the literary field we have done OUT Perf 'fewefd keeping up the College papers, and we have shown almost always a truly loyal spirit toward old WILLIAMS. We have seen the College take a steadily upward course during the four years we have been here? have Seen the Faculty strengthened new and hand- . . 7 some buildings erected, and the course of study broadened and. im- d.
