L. Jorgensen and T. F. Endress. From Section Two : Messrs. L. B. Decker, W. H. 

 Wilson, A. E. Colcord and J. A. Murphy. From Section Three: Messrs. H. R. Rey- 

 nolds, J. P. Regan, G. W. Morse and H. B. Winne. Mr. F. Freese was subsequently 

 chosen chairman of this committee. Now this is the beginning. Another meeting 

 was held shortly after this, and then the news was gently broken that another com- 

 mittee had been appointed by the Class President. The reasons given for this action 

 was that the elected committee was made up of that renowned mystery, the Secret 

 *' Frat." It seems that the other click had been shut out in the election (too bad, for 

 they are a worthy set of good, honorable ypung gentlemen). The discussion at this 

 meeting waxed sore. So warm did it become, in fact, that the smoke began to ooze 

 out into the hall, and John, our worthy janitor, came very near turning in an alarm, 

 thinking that the building was on fire. It was at this point that the esteemed Pro- 

 fessor and Vice-President of our College arose to the rescue and endeavored to pour 

 upon the HO some WOO. Among other things he said : " Young gentlemen, I am 

 an old man " (we all knew this ; he is a Grand Old Man) ; " I have been A.M.'d and 

 Ph.D.'d, yet I'll be LLD.'d if I ever witnessed such a discussion as has transpired here 

 to-day. You may all be M.D.'d or F.C.S.'d for all I care, but I consider that the com- 

 mittee first elected is the one that is really entitled to bold office." Then he sat down, 

 amid rousing cheers of the friends of the committee in office, and a series of groans 

 from the friends of those who were appointed by the President. So ended the battle. 

 But the war is not over yet. Another assault will be made in the near future. 



" Why should the spirit of mortal be proud ? 



Like a swift flying meteor, a fast fleeting cloud ; 



A flash of the lightning, a break of the wave, 



He passeth from life to his rest in the grave. 

 " 'Tis the wink of an eye, a draught of the breath, 



From the fullness of life, to the paleness of death ; 



From the gilded saloon, to the bier and the shroud, 



Oh, why should the spirit of mortal be proud ?" 



Bye the bye, I almost forgot to give the names of the illustrious men who were ap- 

 pointed to serve on the Executive Committee by the Class President. Well, here they 

 are : Messrs. M. Kaliski, E. J. Martin, P. J. Costello, C. A. Sexton, C. A. Lotz, S. 

 May, C. A. O'Connor, F. A. Havey, T. W. Cady and H. R. Hamilton. Now kindly 

 glance at the list given above and you will readily see that the committee appointed 

 by the president is one which is composed of some of the most intelligent and bright 

 fellows of the class. Still, perhaps, it is best that they should not wear out their 

 brains with the laborious labors of arrangements of graduation. 



How many of the fellows attended the Annual Ball of the Alumni of the College 

 Don't all speak at once. Well, it was a corker. I was deeply grieved to see the way 

 that Wilson and Green took the affair to heart. And for Martin (the boy with the 

 Auburn hair) he took things by storm. Say, he is a handsome fellow. Utica should 

 be proud of him. 



Talk about 16 to i. Ask Kaehrle to work out this problem. Pin 13.80 $2.25. 



Enough said. 



I believe that several of the young men connected with our illustrious class ar- 

 ranged to get a square meal, and to this end arranged a party and made an attack on 

 the bill of fare of Pabst, 42d Str. and B'way. Bye the bye, they each had to fork up 

 |2.oo. Hope that they enjoyed themselves.
