...course - to care whether your crew is supported, and whether your class gives say two-thirds of her quota towards its 'Varsity. I 'm quite aware that '82, as you state, failed to support both her crew and the 'Varsity; still, that class did not get a very good reputation by such conduct. Then, too, it is very fine to say, "Confound all class matters, what do I care for my class?" like the '80 men, and though, like '80, liberal with your money, to refuse to give yourself to class objects. But crews and theatricals and all organizations...
...classes of '44 and '57 have set a good example in placing stained-glass windows in Memorial Hall, and their liberality deserves the gratitude of the College. A complete series of such windows would materially increase the beauty of the Hall, and surely there can be found no more practicable way of securing such a series of windows than for these to be the gifts of the older classes of graduates.

Now, however, while the College is still fresh with the memory of these achievements, is the time to look forward, as well...
...ability that they are pretty sure to make their mark in the world. '79 has formed so large a part of the life of the College during the last four years, that her graduation leaves a large gap to be filled. The influence of the class has been a good one. Of course, every class has its various elements, but nevertheless there is a certain tone about every class, as a whole, and the tone of '79 has been a manly one. The College has been better, on the whole, for the four years which the men who graduate...
