FOREWORD. [I] N his address to the student body April 2nd, 1907, on the Dr. Tiffany remarked Investiture, occasion of the Senior that few classes have ever been held in higher esteem both by the students and the faculty than the Class of '07. As a class we have not tried to dominate "College Hill," but we believe our silent influence has placed the College on a higher moral plane than we found it. In the few words allotted to each history it is not possible to state every honor received. It may interest the reader to know that nearly half of our number were valedictorians in their respective high schools, that all have taken active part in literary work, that many have worked ceaselessly in the Y. M. C. A., and Y. W. C. A., and that some have spent their time in the College choir and on the reserve athletic teams. Such work though it does not command marked attention, is yet necessary to any healthy instutition and is the labor only of such as claim for their motto "Esse qwcm: nideri;' Finally, the historian has viewed the optimistic side of college life. The sketches poi-tr-ay the stu- dent in a happy frame of mind. It is for- the reader to lift the mask of comedy, to pierce through to the deeper meaning and behold in his true worth the student of 1907. 10
