...Class desire on the part of the result of the desire on the part of the present Sophomore Class to continue the custom establishment by the Class of 1918 of presenting the University with a gift at the end of the Freshman year.

However much in after life a class may be able to help the University which did so much for it, no gift can have the peculiar significance of one presented by undergraduates. College students as a rule are not burdened with too much money and their generosity forms a very vital sacrifice. The Class of 1918 was thoughtful in its gift of a sun dial.
