as is possessed by others of longer study and greater opportunities. These sparks, which are first brought to our notice now, will 110 doubt, in future years, be kindled to a flame whose beams will attract the at- tention of thousands. Between the Freshman class and all other classes on the" hill," there exists the 1110stkindly feeling. Indeed, one of the most important events of our Freshman year was an amicable settlement between the classes of190G and 1905 concerning the custom of class rushes. In this agreement both classes evinced remarkably good sense and judgment. By it both classes promise an equal amount of good will ancl respect towards each other, thus preventing any further difficulty. May this good will continue to exist throughout our Sophomore year, which isjust ushering in, and the rest of our course. And we feel sure that wherever the title of" 1906" is found, there also will be friendship, happiness and prosperity. In athletics, the" '06 man" holds a prominent position.

And even this accomplished class found it no easy task to hold their own against us. The Prcsluuan boys, too. at this game plainly demonstrated to all other classes their invincibility, and successfully held up the honor of their illustrious class. Our boys, in base ball, show considerable skill, and may be depended upon to do good work in this game as well as in all others in which it is the custom ofcollege students to participate. We have made this first and most important year ofour collegecourse an ideal Freshman year. Wehave demonstrated our scholarship; have won, by our actions, the good will of Faculty and fellow-students: have entered into athletics and displayed nerve and skill. And now, as we have passed out of this year and assumed the title of Sophomores, although we look down upon the name of Freshman in the glory of 121
