president Parkers address was fol-

tory by Mr.. William Henry Duls. The
tong IRA OF facts shows concludveIy
that the class has played a very vital
rart in the life OF the University since
Its entrance in 1903. A brief sketch
OF the history as presented by Mr..
"Everything fashioned by the hand
OF the Creator has a history. History
OF class OF 1907 is so far written upon
our minds and in our characters. And
as yet there has been little manifesto

The indescrlbable feeling we each

what would happen next always played
the chief part. Our general experience

Freshmen before US had shared.
scenes Of rejoicing when Carolina de-
feated Virginia on gridiron in the fall
of'1903 we will never forget. We got

medals, and had a hard time having
u picture taken.
las Freshmen we numbered close
on to $50 strong but now we arc re-
duced to 112. We were full OF en-
thusiasm to begin the next years work.
We failed we've to find the glory
we thought we would find in clearing
away the mists enshrouding first chem
istry. comic sections. calculus n
many other subjects.
There is one event in our SophO-
more year that stands out above all
others, and that is this; for the first
time in the history Of the University
we as the Sophomore class held a
class banquet. BY doing 50 we es-
tablished a precedent for every Sopho-
more class since has held a class an
quet. And the credit or establishing
this custom belongs entirely to the
class of 1907.
"In our Junior year the class num-
bered' 68. Class politics engaged a
good deal of attention. This year we
have a well organized standard
whereby we can form some estimate
CT the work of the class in those
departments where intellect counts
most. More members from 'O7 are
admitted to the Phi Kappa Society
than ever been admitted from ~
other class.
IN the Senicr year the class num-
hers one more than last year, 69.
The development of the class during
the senior year has gone steadily
forward. In every intercollegiate
debate 'O7 had a representative, and
in the contest with Georgia and
Virginia, in o instances. it was d
'07 man who helped Carolina win
and who shared in the honors of VIC
tory.
I'VE regret hat the time of our
separation is so near at hand. but 'Q7
has a record OF which we may well
be proud. In debating its records
equals that Of any previous class. In
athletics it has furnished many of the
lest men on ali the teams. In every
phase of college life 1T has done its
part. AS we go out into life 1t is the
duty of each and every one of US to
remember no matter what the circum-
stances, that four years ago we took
as our motto: 'Esse guam videri.'
-Four chapters of our history are COM
plete. Many blank pages remain. But
if after the close of, say, thirty or
forty years o look at them again we
trust YOU will find them all filled with
the bright n of the class Of 1907

The Glass Prophecy.
The class prophecy was next pre-
sented by Mr.. Oscar Hicks. Mr.. Hicks
as usual was only the prophet of the
occasion and would assume none of

ditions Of financial and domestic en-
barrassment in which his inspired
words portrayed the various members
of the class.
Last Will and Testament.
The last will and testament. which
was one of the strongest features on
the program, was then read by Mr..
Quincy S. Mills. The artistic man
ner in which his will and testament
was phrazed, together with the per-
fectly 1udicrous condition of the con-
tents, called forth volumes of applause,
THE class left the numerous boots
of its mi on the different mem
bers Of the University faculty to the
aspirants for their possession in the
Junior class. Other odds and ends of
propety were left to the worthy mem
bers of '08, and then the class in a
more serious vein. BETTING its imm;-
nent dissolution, expressed it's graft
tude to the faculty of the Institution,
and left a debt of love to the Upiver-
sity itself. the alma mater of the sons
of 1907. The will was properly wit
messed and attested, and will be care
fully executed by the class of 1905"
At the conclusion of the last will
and testament, the meeting adjourned
until $50 this afternoon. when the
class will hold its closing exercises un-
der the Davie Poplar, provided the
present inclement condition of the
weather is abated by that time.
Tonight the regular .Inter-Society
banquet was held in Commons Hall, at
which Senator Lee S. Overman made
the principal address. The Dialectic
Society was represented by Mr.. s. w
Andrews, and the P~hilanthropic by
Mr.. Edward L. tewar These were
the only undergraduate speakers.
There was one Alumni speaker from.
each Society.
