people of the earth come to this knowledge, but truth will triumph in the end. I shall watch this class and report all its actions faithfully." From f that time the members of the class of % had one sympathetic observer. There was one soul in the universe who understood and cared for them. T h e reports of this observer will be here given—not in full, for his praises would fill volumes: Sept. 30, '92: " A great crisis is passed. The class of *96, whose brilliancy so dazzles us, has organized; and chosen Julius Karpen for president." Dec. 24, *92: " T h e class has fulfilled our expectations. Its members deserve our highest praise. For a whole term they have done nothing to excite the Sophomores. It requires great genius to do nothing." Here followed a eulogy on the class which will not be repeated. Jan. 11, '93: " T h e members of the class of '96 have triumphed. It has been the custom for each class of the University to set apart one evening of their Freshman year on whieh they shall dance and feast. The class of •%, original in all things, was certainly original in this. It was planned to take a trip on one of those fast young steeds of iron that are used on the earth, instead of following the beaten custom. The Sophomores were dumbfounded. They could not understand this state of mind, and were unprepared to act. The white and terra cotta now floats in triumph over the University." Sept. 20, '93: " T h e numbers of the class are smaller, but its light still burns."
