AT some risk of enlarging on a subject which may, by the time this paper appears, have become rather a trite one, we propose to say something of the Junior Class. When the year began it was the fashion to condemn '82 in almost every way and in almost every department. '82 had no scholarship, no athletic men, no pride in class, or individual reputation. The only praise that was given was that in theatricals, singing, and general good fellowship it was above the average. This feeling in the University was perceived by '82, and its injustice was resented. A determination and tacit agreement to show themselves in their true light consciously or unconsciously influenced '82 from the beginning of its Junior year. The fruits of this determination have been gradual, but not the less apparent. During the last week they have appeared in their maturity. We do not believe in glorification, but we do wish to point to the fact that at the present time there is no department in any direction where success is prized in which '82 is deficient, and there are many where it is pre-eminent. Not out of place here, perhaps, is mention of the '82 Class Supper. Whatever attacks in the past may have been made upon the reputation for order and propriety of '82 as a class, received a full and sufficient answer in the whole conduct of the one hundred and ten Juniors who met last Monday night to celebrate their victory.
