XVI. That is their man of valor, Whose delight it is to boast Of a midnight trip to graveyard, Of a duel, and a ghost. XVII. His delight it was to read, When the hours of night were mellow, A ten-cent book with title bold, And cover bright and yellow. XVIII. Here we have a former Junior, Who dressed with greatest care; But that was just a week before He lost the President’s chair. XIX. But now he looks dejected, Rambles ruefully in rags, With a boiler for a Derby, And his legs encased in bags. XX. Let cigars go to thunder, Leave the rink to wane or wax; Raise fifteen cents upon your hat, And pay th’ athletic tax. XXL It’s time for the babies’ bottle, Confound those little scamps. Hastings’ got the colic, And Hitchcock’s got the cramps. The Junior s made an effort To knock us out of time; But there’s lots of courage left In that same little nine. XXIII. There’s lots of fun before you, boys, With perhaps a chance for Heaven; So raise your voices with a will, And Hurrah ! for ’87. 23

Jn QTUmomm. Whereas, since we last met as a class, an all-wise Prov¬ idence has seen fit to take from our midst one of our best beloved and most respected classmates, Joseph Albree, Jr., and as we wish to express our sorrow and deep sense of loss, to the family and friends of him whose career of use¬ fulness has been so untimely arrested ; Be it Resolved : That we, the members of the class of ’84, do wear, for the next thirty days, a badge of crepe, as an emblem of our sorrow; and Be it Resolved : That the date of his death, and a copy of these resolutions, be inscribed in the class records, and that a copy be forwarded to the family of the deceased as a mark of our heartfelt sympathy in their bereavement. 25
