TO-DAY the Class of '79 ceases its undergraduate existence and enters the ranks of the Alumni. That the class is considerably above the average in almost every respect, is a fact so well known in college that it does not need mention. Both in athletics and in scholarship its record has been an excellent one. Many of its members, too, who have not taken the highest stand in their studies, have shown such 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 to-day have spent at Cambridge, and we extend to them our best wishes for their success in the world.
