So may blessings on him fall,
 Forever and for aye;
 And every peth in life of his
 Be bright as is the day.
 May nothing come to harm our boy,
 May no misfortune hap,
 May he henceforth seat enjoy
 In old dame fortune's lap.
 For we long as memory holds.
 Fen though we should not try,
 Will pride ourselves on tlis our boy
 Throughout eternity.
 The Latins honored and revered.
 Their seven hills of Rome,
 We honor now thousand fold

Pigott who, he said, had selected his subject "Scandal in High Life" MT. Piggott was very happy in his remarks.

TGreat laughter. There are | babes of the woods but nothing can equal the babe of the "Hills." In closing MT. Pigott addressed Mr. Hill and reminded the
  great responsibility in bringing up that child. He hoped that when he came to college he ! would be taught to light bonfires that the ! faculty might see what was going on; that | he might be learned to stuff key holes and do | other honorable things MT. Pigott closed ! with a fine eulogy of the first born son of the class and when he closed was greeted with great applause.
 Mr. Hill, the father of the child, responded in pleasant manner, thanking the class for | their kind expressions of love and affection 1 for his first born, and assured the members ! that he would ever teach his son to respect | the class of '78.
 The banquet followed, which was gotten up in fine style and heartily enjoyed by all present. During the banquet the triennial eongs were sung.
