to the dear faculty, who have
been our instructors in all the
wisdom of ages. sweet and I'M
broken succession of restful nights
and peaceful dreams. No longer
need they lie awake at nights to
worry over the uncertainty Of
whether this one is doing her
night work, or whether that one
will have her mathematics in the
morning class. It has been a hard
strain on them, for seniors are
said to be at all times hard to
manage. We are reputed to have

done their duty and verify now
they shall have their .well-earned
rewards. f.. -- ,,
