Students of the first, the second, the third, and the fourth year, are respectively called the Freshmen, the Sophomores, the Juniors, and the Seniors. The gradual developments in the life of a student from the time of his entrance into the University as a Freshman to the time when he blooms forth as a full-fledged Senior are illustrated in the "Song of the Classes" which is given below:

SONG OF THE CLASSES.

Here is the freshman who sits over there,

He was nursed by his mother before he came here ; He misses his bottle, and sad for to tell,

He soon will be busted right out of Cornell.

Chorus:

Then it's one, two, and three, four, we all fall in line,
To the tune of our prof's we must always keep time;
For it's work like a Turk till your eyes ache like hell
In this grand institution, this school of Cornell.

There sits the soph'more with debonair look,
His vile freshman ways he now has forsook,

He sports 'round the town with the boys of his age,
And makes frequent calls on the co-eds at Sage.*

*Sage College building where many of the girl-students or co-eds of the University live.
