IPrologue. ... " ... HERE is continually about 11S evolution in society, T change and growth; and it is necessary that such be recorded that fu ture generations may trace the de- velopment of governmental organization coincident with the advancement of the human race. As a class at college is, in a sense, a society, which is an aggregate of different forces, and therefore undergoes evolution and growth, it is necessary that the events within the class be recorded. Thus is devolved on the class historian the pleasant duty of bringing into historical form some of the events of the Class of 1900. But a departure from the manner of writing historyob_ served by former class historians will here be noticed. We chose to write a history of the class as a whole instead of writing a history of the individual members of the class, since facts concerning each individual will be given in detail in another part of this book. With this preliminary remark, we will begin our history, beginning with the entrance of the class into the college, and noticing its changes, progress, etc., throughout its en- tire course. -+47+
