Glass of foi ROSS K. DE CEW UNIORS! Yea, Juniors! That means us. We do not claim to be anything more, nor do we wish to be considered as anything less. Two, and nearly three, long years have rolled over us, since we made our first appearance in this, our Prima Alina Mater -long years, but years of pleasant toil and still more pleasant learning. We feel we are ripening, bit by bit, and by the time another year has passed away, will, like the fields of grain, be ready for the harvest. Then some of us will be thrown into the mill of the world, to be thrashed fproviding we have not been sufiiciently thrashed beforej until it can use us. A freshman once, and a sophomore too! How vague and far away the Junior looked ! The senior was visible only on clear days, when the clouds of his superiority, were driven away by the winds of geniality. But now, glorious now ! We stand where we can look back and see the freshman climbing, bid the sophomore take courage, and, looking forward, grasp the senior's hand. We feel we are the center of importance CU and, according to chemistry, our valance is three. lt is unnecessary to detail the many lines, along which, we, as a class and individually, have gained eminence. We feel assured that this is known to the world at large, and a second rehearsal would not only be tiresome, but a vain repetition. But it may suliice to say, that undoubtedly we have in our midst, future states- men, and great artists in literature, art, and science, and tho we have not as yet identified them, nevertheless we feel they are there. The aim of the class has been high, and daily it strives to realize, if only in part, its significant motto, Nunc aut numqua1n, Now or never. It seeks to do faithfully its present duty, leav- ing the future to care for itself. Thus it paves tl1e way for its own progress, and the wheel of its future rolls smoothly on.
