Throned on this throne by earth-stress raised and set — A seat enduring of thy termless reign, Whence view, o'ersweeping all the peopled plain, By bounds of distant terraced hills is met Which way it turns, and ever yet, and yet, And sees such beauty as to see is pain, — Thou whom to seek, though vainly, is all gain, Whom to forsake, cross after bloody sweat. All-blessing Truth, behold us fled to thee, Thy blind-bom children, out of desert land Where is not any shade of smallest tree. Nor ooze of water in the cankering sand, To be thine ear-pierced servants, for thy breath Doth make to see and live : all else is death. l:ohcrt Wilson Ncal. C^atfB of '93 ^0 f^e (peopfe of HaneaCf Creeping: By your generosity we are what we are; and with a lively sense of our indebted- ness we promise to study the peace and prosperity of the commonwealth. C^aBB of '9S ^0 i^c ^out^ of l^anBaB, (Breeding: Know ye that the University that Kansas built is an integral part of the public school system of the state, and that just as ye pass from the grades to the high school, so may ye (if ye faint not) pass from the high school to the University. Have we not spied out the land before you? And do we not bring you a good report? Lo, there will ye find six separate and distinct schools: SCHOOL OF ARTS, SCHOOL OF LAW, SCHOOL OF FINE ARTS, SCHOOL OF PHARMACY, SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING, POST-GRADUATE SCHOOL. Each school is well equipped, and together they form a goodly university, whose reputation extendeth throughout the land, even unto the coaits thereof, and whose wise men are sought in counsel by the learned men of other nations, even the scientists of Germany. Go ye up and possess the land; it is yours; only, be ye strong and very courageous. ALMA MATER: Ye go, and I am left alone I Ye go into the world of man 'Where days are years, and life a span, With all your future for your own. Ye go : and all the past is done. Ye are a fanned and chosen seed Time scatteretb to the future's need; Yet ten shall waste where springeth one. And all my gladness is forlorn ; The echo of my empty halls Is low^, is dead, and silence crawls Across each threshold ; let me mourn. June 8, 1898. Ye strive in mighty strife with God And lay your hands upon His work, And are as nothing: from the murk Of sunlight, lie ye 'neath the sod. For Time is Time, and from his grasp The sand-grain ages drop away. And man is but as yesterday \rhen eons make their dying gasp. Nay, live and strive : but I will mourn. New footsteps thrill my ivied walls. New faces brighten in my halls. But all my heart of love is torn. HER FAREWELL. And these sfiall go as ye have gone. To live and strive and pass away, To roll vain stones up hill for day. And perish ere they see the dawn. Yet, live and strive. My mother love Approves you nobler for the strife And holds you dearer for the life Ye lost and found when tliat ye strove. But I must mourn, but I must mourn. Dead past doth the dead past o'erclose, Yet thought pursues where love foregoes; And all my heart of love is torn. Robert Wilson Neat. THIS IS THE FACULTY THAT RUNS THE UNIVERSITY THAT KANSAS BUILT.

Another page of our life history has been turned back, leaving but pure, white blanks, not for what we choose, but for what we must write upon them. We part, in entering upon tfiis new life, one from the other, some to achieve {greatness, some to be merely content, some — but why speak of them? In the days that are to come, in the days of the "old songs," the ghosts of dead memories will perchance rise before our mind's eye — a sweet and silent company of classmates and friends and teachers. It is for just such moments as these that this little book has been prepared— for the sake of Auld Lang Syne. It is now bidden on this errand forth. May it fulfill its simple mis- sion is the wish of the Qass of Ninety-eight. t^t €fft00 of *98. Strange but true is the fact tfiat every class graduated from every college in the land is in the habit of telling un- truths. By which we mean that every grad- uating class lauds itself to the skies as the hand- somest, smartest, and best body of men and maidens that ever made their exodus from their respective college, if not from any college in the world. The Class of Nine- ty-eight of the Univer- sity of Kansas has taken a unique position in this matter. It does not claim to be the handsomest class that has ever left the University -far from it — nor the smartest, nor yet the largest, brightest, most lovable and most beloved — no, none of these. But with that candor that has characterized all its actions, with the love of truth paramount, it does claim to be the dullest, slow- est, most verdant, and altogether the most hopeless class, as a class, that has ever been graduated from the University of ICansas, or, indeed, from any university or college - Baker, of course, excepted. The Class of Ninety-eight is unique, we say, in this particular. More than this, it is decidedly original, for it has been demonstrated from statistics gathered by the Sociology classes, that study Bad Boys and Other Such Things, that no other class known to college history has ever claimed to possess the aforesaid characteristics. flS Ff^ESHJWErl. Perhaps some evidences of the truth of the statement concerning originality can be gathered from the "dim and distant vista of the past." It is asserted that on the 7th day of Septem- ber, J 894, a band of rosy- cheeked lads and lassies, with slates and penny sponges, or, lacking this latter, a much-berubbed and shiny coat -sleeve, toiled wearisomely op Mount Oread and en- tered into the dark, J* echoing v< labyrinthian caverns of Fraser Hall, Dryden foresaw just such in event when he wrote : '* The fool of nature ^tood with stupid eyes And gaping mouth, that testified surprise." It is needless to add, then, that eyes blue, black, brown, and gray were wide, wide open from astonishment. It is needless to say that the huddling band wandered aimlessly around in search of something that they could not find ; needless to say that staid and dignified professors grew fairly purple in the face from suppressed laughter at the sound of tiny voices quaveringly inquiring, "Say, teacher, where is the chapel? Ain't you goin* ? " They have learned better since then — we mean the Class of Ninety- eight, not the professors. In the course of time and after much effort had been put forth on the part of their keepers, the Freshman lambs were at last gathered into their proper corral. Then it was that the inevitable black sheep brought mischief into the fold. Then it was that the old, old game for Iambs- and men as well - was introduced to this innocent flock, which has continued ever since to " Follow the Leader." And then it 'was that, doing away with their sheepish looks, the Freshmen organized as a class, choosing officers and— legend has it^a yell, and colors. Nothing more remained to be done. They sank back into oblivion, from which they aroused themselves only upon the First of May. In short, it was not until the middle of the Sophomore year that the Class of Ninety-eight began to realize that it was unique, origi- nal—but, in the language of the fipenny wrapper, "this is anticipating." AS SOPHOMORES. Contrary to the hopes and expectations of the Faculty, the Class of Ninety-eight returned at the beginning of the school year in J895, No signs were visible in the early part of the term of the vast stores mmencement week, and to arrange for a class party. That was the party that never was. The Qass of Ninety-eight, be it known, ever since its Freshman year, has shown a disposition toward economy, commendable no doubt, but detrimental to the success of parties. Also, either from natural timidity or through dissatisfaction with the assortment of girls afforded by the class, the Ninety-eight boys have always shown an unconquerable aversion to furnishing the Ninety- eight girls escorts on such occasions. These two things combined have kept the Senior class party in the realms of the imagination. That one memorable social function, which, according to the invitations was to take place ufion the sixteenth of December, and then suddenly didn't, ■will alw^ays remain as a monument to the — well, originality of the Qass of Ninety-eight. Soon after the excitement about the party had died out, the class held a meeting, and decided not to have caps and gowns during Com- mencement week. The class held another meeting, and decided firmly to wear caps and gowns during Commencement week. Still another meeting was called, and the class decided just as firmly not to wear caps and gowns during Commencement week. It had been thought that, of all the enterprises undertaken by the Class of Ninety-eight, the Senior Play alone was progressing smoothly and without opposition. A successful reading rehearsal had been held, but suddenly a horrible discovery was made : the play was found to be full of loathsome personalities, which were to be forced upon an innocent and unsuspecting class by a designing committee. At the class meeting in which this awful discovery was brought to light, at least half a dozen addresses were made, any one of which was sufficient to disprove the statement that oratory is dying out in the University of Kansas. The cap and gown question was again discussed at this meeting, and absolutely the latest news upon this subject is that caps and gowns will be worn by the Seniors during Commencement week. The <^a'=» of Ninety-eight is now of the past. It has had the same varied experience that other classes have had. It has had the same joys and sorrows. It has been no better ; it has been no worse. Looking backward upon its trials and its successes, we lovingly whisper the dear old " Rock Chalk " in lingering accents, and tearfully write " Finis." APPENDIX. Base Ball, Spring of '98.
