1902

Did you ever wonder why some college classes are more worthy of notice than others? Or seem to possess a superiority of some kind? When you were a freshman perhaps the senior class seemed to have a surprising number of outstanding individuals. Perhaps college tradition had some hero class a generation back in the past. At any rate, the prowess of the Class of 187- was well-known to the Class of 1902.

That class had an unusual group of successful men. They held most enjoyable reunions, where wives and children were specially welcomed, and if the College needed some financial help, that class was always ready.

How does a class acquire such a reputation? Is it the work of a proud undergraduate son, or is it the natural result of merit? It may seem strange to some to find that groups of students, even single individuals, have at times been responsible for desirable changes — in conduct, in curricula.
