Excerpt from The Wellesley Legenda, 1889 As Juniors we felt that we had a recognized and honorable place in the student world, and that nothing less than Tyndall on Sound had terrors for us. Our Growth of Knowledge was rapid last year, but it was remarked by many (particularly by Prof. Whiting) that most of our reasoning was not a priori but a posteriori, the result of hard experience, as evinced by the fact that we had a second final electricity examination. Sept. 13, 1888, was a notable day in our class life. On that memorable occasion we occupied for the first time our hardly earned Senior seats. When the glory of walking to the extreme front of the chapel, and seating ourselves with due solemnity began to pal] upon us, we tried other ways of amusing ourselves - studying, for example. In fact we began to study pretty early in the year and have been at it without much intermission ever since. In our experi ence hard work seems to be an essential attribute of Seniority. Our Intuitions warned us that it would be Wise to Systematize some of our masses of Knowledge, and with our unfolding Intuitions we arrive at the last Stage of Knowledge. Soon those Intuitions, which are now very vague, Will be realized by actual contact with the world to which we go on leaving the sheltered home we have known here for four bright, happy, busy years.
