Just why such is the case is not so easily deter- mined. Of course, like all young editors, we are proud of our achievement and justly so, we think. We have encountered all the difficulties incident to issuing the first number of such a publication. Consequently we think we are somewhat wiser than we were before. We know that we have more patience, and our stock of cheek, too, has been greatly increased. So without any further comment we wish to present the Hellenian to the college world • and trust that our labor may meet with the approval of all who feel a sincere interest in colleo^e work.

Our Freshman class, though a little larger than usual, numbering seventy-four, was not an exception to the ' ' ' ' rule, and ' greenness ' and ' self-conceit ' were the chief characteristics. Shortly after our arrival we were some- what shaken up by the earthquake, but it was not long before we were settled again and each man "began" to do some little studying. On October loth, 1886, our class- negroes, and mate, J. A. Freeze, was brutally murdered by in March, 1887, we lost another member, H. A. Wilson, by pneumonia. Commencement soon came and each one of us pictured in our mind's eye the mighty Soph, of '88. But alas! the great honor which we had been so long look- ing forward to seemed to be almost nothing, and we soon came to the* wise conclusion that the Soph, was not as big a man as the Fresh, imagined him. During this year the monotony was only broken by the withdrawal of the Phi. members. Yes, '88 had come and was fast going awa}'. Vacation came, and after crushing all the damsels' hearts we came back with our Junior dignity on us. The Com- mencemenc of '89 was indeed a glorious one. It being the Centennial Anniversary of the establishment of the Univer- sity, our ahnnni flocked from all parts of the country and some of the old ones said it reminded them of ante-beUinn times. Now we are Seniors. The seventy-four Freshmen, besides additions in the Soph., Junior and Senior years, have dwindled down to twenty. Some have died, some have voluntarily left, the "climate" did not suit others, and the "Faculty deemed it best that others should not return." We are few in number but "still in the ring." We are, as a rule, quite as dignified as the average Senior class, thouo:h sometimes we come off of our hio^h roost and make night hideous with "Where did you get that Hat?" and "Down went McGinty." Our class has contained all specimens of humanity—the Y. M. C. A. man and the sinner, the temperance man and the toper, the man who never "dirties" his lily-white hands with cards, and he that "throws the papers" with a blanket on the table to the "wee hours o' midnight." We have caused the Faculty little » trouble and have behaved ourselves well during our college course. '90's men stand well in their studies and in June we will show as fine an average as the great majority of our predecessors. During our connection with the University many changes in the Faculty have occurred. Profs. Henry, Phillips and Atkinson have gone to other institutions and in business. Dr. Chas. Phillips, emeritus Professor of Mathematics, died in the spring of '89. Prof Ralph Graves died in the sum- mer of '89, and Prof. William Cain now fills the chair of Mathematics in the University. Our time is nearly out and ere long, only a few weeks, we will, most of us, sever our connections with the dear 8 old U. N. C. forever. Sadness is stamped on our brows, for now we trulv realize that our colleg^e davs have been our happiest. We have become attached to these classic walks and halls and we will bid them adieu with tears in our eyes. We are about to put on the true Armor of Life and enter this wide, wide world for ourselves. Let each one of us remember that we are members of '90, and what- soever we do, whether it be good or evil, will reflect credit or discredit upon our class. Aim high if you fall low. Let " Perseverence and Energy" be your motto and watch- word. And in all thy ways think of your Alma Mater and strive to help her in every way. And now to old U. N. C. we bid a lasting farewell, always wishing her a long life and prosperity. Exit '90. J. D. B., Jr. "^^n : : €las0 of *9i. MOTTO ''Ad Astra per Aspera.''

Hi^^ory of the ©U55 of '91. It is no easy task to write the history of the class of 1891 of the University of North Carolina. Its history is not a story of brilliant conquests—it is not a story of the achievements of genius, but rather of results attained by hard work and determination. Our cla.ss numbers no eeniuses in its ranks. We have not startled colleo-e bv the hio^h averao^es of our leaders, but we have shown more genuine progressiveness, more class and college spirit than any class that has entered this institution for years. From our birth—which occurred August 25, 1887—we have been animated by a spirit of progressive conservatism. We have always been ready to take any step forward, if it seemed wise to us. II —— - During our Fresh, year—to begin at the beginning nothing of importance happened to disturb the even tenor of our way. At Commencement we were represented by two marshals —Batchelor and Green, B. In the Phi. Society, Bryan won Declaimer's Medal. As Sophomores, we treated the Fresh, with consideration. We brought back the time-honored "water-melon treat" —which degenerate classes had allowed to be forgotten and our hearts were made glad with the hearts of the melons, while the poor Fresh, were given only the rinds, and these, to be rendered eatable, must first be deprived of rapid whirlings and twists through the air.
