Dear Magazine:

Class of 1897.

As next year will be the 10th anniversary for the Class of 1897, I wish you would urge members of that class to plan for a reunion next year. If I could be at commencement this year I should do it myself, but it will be impossible for me to be there. If we can have some thing next year I shall make a big effort to attend, for I have never been back to a commencement since my gradu

ation. I hope you will publish this letter or else make make known that it is desired that some one who shall be present this year of '97 may take up the work for next year. My address for the summer will be 7 William St.. Watertown, N. Y. I shall be in Greenport next year. Hoping this is not too late, I remain, fraternally, Greenport, N. Y. DIADAMA M. CROAN.

UNDERGRADUATE DEPARTMENT

DIXON FOX, EDITOR

This year's race is nearly run; we are now upon the home stretch. Every effort must be bent, every muscle strained if we are to reach the wire in good time. Some have made provision for this trying part and are finishing with the same long, even strides that they have shown during the whole race; they are indifferent to the sudden dashes of their companions for they have been working from the start and know they are safe. It is the old story of the hare and the tortoise, or of the wise and foolish virgins. It is a nervous time for teachers and pupils alike; the high school students are enjoying the anticipa tion of Regents exams. The wee small hours are to determine the length and breadth and depth of all the year's work. It is an expensive time; we must attend to this class picture and that banquet, to this benefit concert and that class present, to these ball games and to those society, class and athletic dues until we half wish we had never come to school: It is a parting time; we must say goodbye to seventy-nine comrades who are to graduate. For four years they have been co-workers with us and we have come to love them as school fellows. The members of the Class of June 1906 have been the backbone of many a good enterprise, they have been faithful and earnest in the performance of duty. There are strong men and women in this class; their Alma Mater is not ashamed to give them to the world, and when, next fall, scattered to the four corners of our country, they will look back with pleasure on their school days and be proud that it was theirs to be a company in the army of Normalites.

Then too the time is almost here when we four undergraduate editors must bid farewell to the readers of the Magazine. Our work has been pleasant and beneficial,
