His first two years were spent in wondering why he was here, and his last two in wondering what his future occupa- tion would be. He has decided to enter business, and Ninety-nine wishes him success. His address will be 31 Hubbart St., Winsted, Conn. ROSS, Elmore Preston, Sigma Phi, Gar- goyle, K. K. K. 13, came to bat on Nov. 14, 1876, in Fulton, N. Y. He prepared for Wil- liams at Lawrenceville. Elmore caught on the 'Varsity baseball team during the Hrst three years of his course, captaining it junior year. Besides this he made the class football team Freshman year. Owing to prolonged ill health he was una- ble to take any part in athletics during Senior year, and devoted himself to the less violent pursuits of raising a beard and u1npiring ball games. The influences ofa trip abroad tal-:en in company with Stearns and Henderson are plainly observable in the Teutonic garb which he at present affects. This, together with the habit of continual pipe smoking and a certain Germanic stolidityiof de- portment, partly natural and partly acquired, has gained for him during the past year the pleasing name of H Dutchyf' His future address will be 328 High street, Springfield, Ohio, where he will find employment in the manufacturing busi- ness. ROSSITER, William Wickes, Jr., Delta Psi, Kappa Beta Phi, was born in Brooklyn, N. Y., on Nov. 13, 1877, He absorbed enough of something at the Brooklyn Latin School to enable him to enter Williams, where he has distinguished himself as one with marked ability to sleep. As a member of the cane committee he shifted the try- ing responsibility on to the shoulders of his com- rade, Dr. Carter, and then turned over for another nap. But in Sophomore year he roused himself still further to manage the class football team. H Billyl' has been four years on the Mandolin Club of which he was leader in Senior year. He is also a member of the Banjo Club. His occupation is still unsettled. He may be addressed at 50 Seventh Ave., Brooklyn, N. Y. ROWLAND, Harry Haynes, Theta Delta Chi, was born on Sept. 15, 1876, in Lakeville, N. Y. He was prepared at the Geneseo State Normal School, and came to college H to learn what it is

He spurred Rossiter on at the Brooklyn Latin School, and thus enabled both youths to enter college, where Jack, however, being of an active turn of body and mind, left Billy to his own D- vices. In Sopho- more year Rushmore was a director of the track team, and on the promenade committee. An event also occurred about this time which may prove here- after of great importance, viz., his introduction to Lmazbrzkzzy T errcsz'r11v, for ever since he has devoted himself to Biology and is the terror of stray felines. The Ilfeekbf, after using up all available paper in ballots, now chose jack one of their business directors. He is now, perhaps a richer and a sad- der man. Rushmore will enter the College of Physicians and Surgeons, New York City. His future address is 470 Washington Ave., Brooklyn. RUTTER, William McMurtrie, Sigma Phi, Gargoyle.
