Perhaps the bare mention of these may make clear the nature of those which did im| el us to the task, but if not, no matter. Necessity was not in the case. Cus- tom, that inexorable ruler of Kenyon, did not call us to the front, to leap the wide gulf that has hitherto separated the Sophomores from The Reveille. On the Seniors, and on them alone, has rested until now the responsi- bility of its publication. Neither did propriety demand it. The mantle of seniorial dignity, which now rests in part upon us, should have fallen upon ’79. But though the yearnings of that lass for immortality are only equalled by the | crsistency with which they follow the “back track,” distrusting their own merits, or from other causes, they rejected the proffered boon, and plodded on down the hill. ealth was not a motive. A glance at the distressful financial experience of those who have preceded, told us that whatever benefits might in other respects accrue, riches could by no means crown our efforts. Fame was beyond possibility. There is a well attested legend embodied in the College records, that certain young men once wooed the fickle goddess through the medium of I he Reveille, and soon after found it convenient to “fold their tents like the Arabs, and silently steal away.” This teaches us that though there may be a path to glory, it evidently does not lie by way of The Reveille. We realize that there Praefatio. is death in this pot of delectable things we are preparing, not for the partakers but for the preparers, unless prudence and discretion enter largely into its composition. Hence, look not in this book for reckless illustrations, daring scintillations of wit or irreverent illusions. We prefer to creep along the sheltered shore, rather than by venturing uj on the treacherous deep, risk the wind and waves that swamped our predecessors. f dtiociaj. NOTHER year in its swift flight has goru by. I he Reveille is heard once more. Its sound goes forth through the land awakening thou who herve been dozing away all the time, since it was last heard. Many changes have taken place within a year. 77 took its departure in order to give 78 plenty of room to move. Having reached the top round of college-life, it stepped off and fell into that deep abyss— the world. Let us hope that after the first dive and the surprise which it occasions, the members of that class may rise steadily, and may remember to follow the teachings of their motto: ltNon solum nobis nati sumus. ” I heir whole course was the same. They did nothing to characterize themselves. They seemed to be wholly oblivious to all ( lass spirit, evidently not knowing what it was. No class supper either at the beginning or ending of their course; no rows °f any kind, and, above all, no Bore Day—giving up that good old custom for the sake of a holiday. As Sophomores they did nothing, but left sophomoric pranks to more fun-loving men. •ut ve are keeping them too long before us. Let us say to them, gently but firmly, “vale.” 78 ha ing attained the long wished for dignity of Senior, 'veil fills the place left vacant by '77. ’78 is and always has een small, though they seem to have had some of the qualities pertaining to the Hydra, yet, what they lack in quantity they make up in quality. While Freshmen they were eager to keep I ( customs, and this has been one of their good points all the Editorial. way through their course; not only have they kept up old ones, but they have also instituted new ones. They have made an adiwice and still they keep on. They have a chance to s] eak for themselves and we will leave something for them to say. It is with great regret that “we will have to say the parting word” so soon. ’78 was before us, but now 79 steps up. We have looked on that picture (78), now let us look on this (79). '79 are now Juniors. How that class has been battered by college vicissitudes! In the world, that mighty choir in which we arc the instruments, unless “a change conies o’er their being,” they will perform the parts that need the most wind. What has that class done for itself, or any one else? They seem to be intent uj on themselves, having no regard for others. They have dropj ed all class customs and try to keep back from all new ways and means, study their history as written by them- selves and learn what they are. The Sophomores now must be attended to. As we were loath to speak of '79, we now turn w ith pleasure to ’80. It, like'78, has done all in its power to uphold class customs and class spirit. It would seem that the old saying, “there’s luck in odd numbers,” was wrong: as ’76, 78, and 80 have all done well; while ’77 and ’79 have done—nothing. The giving the publi- cation of The Reveille into ?8o’s hands, show’s how she w’as appreciated. May she in turn prove herself worthy of the honor. Who are these that stand before us? but one glance is neces- sary to tell. And yet, it is hard to give them a place. They were dished up in such various styles, that it is hard to give them the name of Freshman. Like all Freshmen, they know' more now’, in a w’ay, than they will in a year or two. As a class, they have already shown that there is something in them, having stood together well. Rut they are beginning early in their course to lose men; we hope they will hold those they now have. Our advice to them is, “do your best and leave the rest. ” . I Let us take a glance at some of the sports now going on. This year “the Nine,” for that is the first matter of importance, has practiced faithfully both at the gymnasium and on the field. 9 Editorial. There seems to be much interest displayed. The class Nines have about fallen through, though they are spoken of once in a while. ’80 seems to have the strongest Nine this year, although others boast of being the best. Boating has been started by some of the boys, and it is to be hoped the interest may increase. Some talking has been done in regard to instituting field-day. It would be a good thing if we did have such a day here, as much hidden power would be brought to light. May those making an effort in this direction accomplish their object. It is true we have not much musical talent, but what we have tells. The “Haydn Orchestra” has been kept up with great success. We often hear the pleasant sounds of their instruments as we sit at our window. Kenyon has been making vast strides forward within the last year, by raising her standard. We feel confident that this will be good for the College and our heartfelt wishes are that she may succeed. It is something new to give the publishing of The Reveille to under classmen and we hope such a thing will never happen again. We have endeavored with all our power to make this publication attractive, and have added the new feature of having each class speak for itself. Hoping our first effort will meet with kind approval, we now ask our reader to step on to the next object. flntutitf at fyngm Rkv. VVM. B. BODINE, D.

But ’8o, gallant ’8o, is blowing its horn for Kenyon, and we must help swell the chorus. The Fall of 1874 is the date of our birth into Kenyon’s world. Some of us were as green and all as impudent as the ideal Freshman. Our best characteristic showed itself on the second day of our college life. With pangs of delight we held our first class meeting, to exchange sentiments of mutual admiration and to elect class officers. The class feeling shown on that day has ever since been supreme. Class feeling, when it is possible, is one of the best features of college life. In less than a month we were out on the walk singing our beautiful class song. There is only one day, that to which we are looking forward with mingled pain and pleasure, that can eclipse Freshman Class- day of ’78. We had a lively Bore-day, considered one of the l cst in Kenyon’s history, and we tied the old bell for '75 as only Kenyon Freshman can. In the Sophomore year, we hardly attempted the cowardly custom of hazing. One “ smoking out ” scrape being about the limit in that direction. This year we sported our plugs and canes. With Junior year came Astronomy, that noblest of sciences, and Physics, that most delightful of all college work. We considered that what we did not know al out them was unworthy of our attention. P. and D. differed with us however, and after examinations mildly suggested them as 9 History of 78. electives to some of us. The Senior year has been a “balmy period.’’ It began with a new venture, the “Advance” Although our subscription list does not boast its thousands, we have managed with difficulty to make both ends meet. The Senior lecture course, it is needless to say, was a decided success. The climax of Senior grace and dignity is capped by the classical mortar boards, which, with the gowns, rightly distinguish us from the At KoXkm. Time and modesty forbid us enlarging upon our individual merits. As a class we have always agreed, and we are happy to say, that by us no college custom has been slighted.

For who could pretend worthily to record her glorious achievements, or fittingly to comment upon her many virtues? If, then, our efforts as historian shall prove a failure, let no one infer that it is because she has no better history. More than two years have passed since the Class of '79 first entered the walls of Kenyon. The verdancies and follies of the Freshman and Sophomore years we have left far behind, and have now assumed the dignity and responsibilities of Juniors. Modesty forbids our indulging in the too common practice of self-aggrandizement, and written records are unnecessary to per- petuate our noble deeds; still, we deem it best to recount a few of them, not for our own praise, but for an illustrious example to those who shall follow us, who, although they can never hope to equal our glorious acts, may nevertheless by them be encour- aged to nobler exertions. It is, however, with a feeling of sorrow that we arc compelled to recount the loss of several of our number. Our Class, at entrance was the largest in College. Some, however, have fallen fighting valiantly to the last that intangible demon, “ Creek Prose. ’ Others, becoming entangled in the meshes of trigonometry, have hopelessly lost their way; and still others, for reasons outside of college-life, have taken their departure. I Inis have we dwindled from the largest to the smallest class in College. We deeply mourn our lost classmates. Hut in spite ot her losses, '79 still holds her own among the powers of the College. History of ’79. In athletic pursuits ’79 has always taken the lead. Her Base Ball record has never been equalled in the history of the Col- lege. She has played ten match games, winning nine and losing one. During her Sophomore year it had become evident to all that no class in College could hope to defeat her. Each one had been most soundly beaten, again and again. What was to be done? Beaten she must be by some means. At last the other three classes determined to select a Nine from their united num- bers, and in one short afternoon to humble the pride of the hitherto invincible Sophomores. The day was fixed. The game was played, and, in a word, ’79 was again victorious. Shortly after this, having lost two men from her Nine, she was defeated by '80, but in spite of this one reverse the pennant still floats from the flag-stiff of ’79. But if physical achievements were our only glory, vain indeed would be our boasting. And, for proof that we are not wanting in the higher and nobler qualities of manhood, we simply refer you to our most learned and worthy professors. Many are the compliments which they have paid to our intellectual excellence, but these it is not our province or desire to repeat, and all we would say is, that we most thoroughly admire their sound judg- ment and discriminating choice. But those restless Sophomores are impatiently waiting to l e heard, and so we will close by wishing that the remainder of 79’s course may be as pleasant as the past three years.

Who could more effectually and poetically soothe a Freshman’s fevered brow than us ministering angels?

And who more philosophically enjoy the ensuing month's holiday? Our superiority as a class for scholarship and spirit is acknowledged alike by Faculty and students. Throughout our course no custom or duty has been slighted. This might sound better coming from some other source, but we are so situated, that, to do ourselves justice, we must seem to some degree boastful. Vet, this is a fact, and as such let it stand. May we strive to maintain this position faith- fully! We have always found the Freshman ready to learn, and so have done our best to guide their wandering steps. For instance, when these sons of Apollo, being led away captive by the sweet strain of our college songs, essayed to go forth and 5 History of 80. inflict upon the peaceful villagers the exquisite torture which they were pleased to call singing, we most heroically effected their rescue. Having heard that our usually pacific citizens were roused to unwonted fury, and that already five or six were seeking the constables, and threats of lynching were being rather freely circulated, we artfully diverted the intention of the un- suspecting youths, by introducing a picked band of six musicians, whom they attacked with great fury. When, however, matters had been explained, and the Freshies fully realized the extent of the danger they had just escaped, they clasped the hands of their benefactors in gratitude, and swore they would never sing again.

We wonder that any should think lightly of the name, as some seem to do. But perhaps it is Because we are unable “to see ourselves as others see us,” and we may look uj on the name in a different light when wc become Sophomores. Judging from the number of recruits we have received from the Sophomores, we are led to believe that even they do not abhor the title of Freshmen so much after all. Our college life thus far has been a very happy one. One reason is that we recognize the truth of the saying, “United we stand; divided we fall.” Our class is not large, but makes up in quality what it lacks in quantity. We have all sizes, shapes and characters of men; in fact, each man is entirely different from the others, so that, taken together, we constitute a whole. Our life has not been without incident; there have been several occurrences which had a tendency to destroy monotony. We came to Kenyon expecting to find the Sophomores our natural enemies, but, with a few exceptions, have lieen agreeably disappointed. The principal exception was the “hazing” of a portion of our number by the class of ’80, being careful to take us one or two at a time. But, all things considered, we have rather enjoyed the Class of ?8o, and when they returned from their month’s leave of absence, none wrere more rejoiced to see them return than the Class of’81. The Sophs, have honored us with but one ‘ rush,’ and in that we gently 4 laid them down to sleep’ and relieved them of their ‘ horns,' the pride of the men of ’80. In foot-ball we have l een equally successful, having conquered them in the only 28 History of 81. game that has been played this year. We are glad to say that the worthy Seniors appreciate our victories, and have shown the same by the following laconic local in the college paper, 44 gj.” In base ball we have been beaten ; but give us a little time, gentlemen. In view of all this, we ask, 4 Is it any wonder we like the St) is ? ' It is our intention to keep up our good reputation throughout the college course; so that when we shall have received our diplomas from the hands of our worthy President, the friends of ’81 may feel that we have not disgraced our good beginning. 29 1 JLvrnu%A in H r Orbcr of; lljrir $$taWisljiticnf. -------------- i—------- 3� SIdfa Sappa Epsilon. $tlla T it}iiut |isiioii.

Deeply impressed with the feeling that the fame of this club should by no means be limited by the “circle that girts their horizon round,” we have decided to touch upon some of the characteristics of this organ- ization, being assured that they will heartily concur with us in the belief that it is better to be written up j oorly than never to be written at all. The composition of this club is as varied as its appear- ance is motley. The rude Barb here associates on equal terms with the unscrupulous Freshman, the loquacious Sophomore, the astute Junior, and the stately Senior. Muscular limbs contrast with fleshless calves and bony arms, swelling chest with spindling trunk—a rare, wc may say, an unequaled combination. Hut as they stand imposingly arranged about the field, ready and eager tor the fray, with white stockings and blue stockings, red stockings and black stockings, and no stockings at all; with breeches snowy white, and breeches whose long estrangement from the washer woman has given a nondescript hue— “’Tim worth ten years of peaceful life One glance at their array.” It has been said “see Naples and then die,” but we say, see our Rase Hall Club, and then die. In way of individual mention Captain “ Pap should come first, but Captain Pap’s name is Base Ball. sacred in these columns and he shall stand on his own merit, be the foundation great or small. Next in order comes the elfin Babe, the Liliputian pitcher, the mitey curver. Ye gods! ’tis an amazing sight to see him as he stands pensively eyeing the ball within his hands, ever and anon twirling it within his palms, casting a sidelong glance at the batter; suddenly his mammoth limbs grow rigid, a steely gleam shoots from his gray eye, there is a contortion of the body, a sweep of the arm, a jump, a jerk, and the ball flies through the air, over the head, under the feet, or into the ribs of the unfortunate victim at the bat. As to Adams, he is undoubtedly one of the best players on the continent—Ml Vernon players always excepted. He usually skirmishes around behind the bat, though he has aspirations in the direction of the curve. He sometimes varies the exercises, by catching the balls on his eyes, but the monotony of the thing soon destroyed its popularity. At the bat he excites the ad- miration of the multitude, by the celerity with which he fouls or strikes out; his gait is somewhat lunil cring and elephantine, but it is’nt much matter, as he does’nt need to use it very often. Adae is the man who hovers about the first base. He is the star, the bright and shining light of this immortal Nine. He sometimes catches the ball and sometimes does not. The ratio, were we to declare it, would injure his reputation and we forbear. His studies have interfered some with his progress in the science, but not much. Last of all we come to the irrepressible Showalter. Showaltcr is one of that class of men whose every object of life centers on the acquisition of muscle. The theme of his reveries by day and of bis dreams by night is muscle. Could you find the core of his soul, the center of his existence, you would find it permeated with the prayer, “more muscle, oh! more muscle I” He is called a good runner. We are obliged to take this assertion on faith, as he gets to the first base too rarely to admit of a test. “Out on first,” is the cheering t ry that invariably greets this disciple of Heenan, as he lunges madly forward for his base. And yet we know of no one to whom base ball has been more beneficial. Many is the time when, stretched on a sick bed (for Showalter is an invalid), the mere Base Ball. announcement of base ball has put new life in his veins, vigor in his limbs, and he has arisen and walked to the ground, and for three hours sustained to the fullest the reputation we have mentioned. The remainder of this club consists of Barbs and Arabs—good fellows, no doubt, but not yet arrived at that period of life and dignity to grant them a place in these columns. And now we say to this club, go on. Let your aspirations be high; choke down the remembrance of Hudson, with a grasp that knows no “ let up,” and you shall surely be the central luminary of the base ball firmament. ESTABLISHED. 1827.

'Diis School is a regular Department of Kenyon College; and, as such, is under the supervision of the authorities of the College. The course of instruction is designed, primarily, to prepare scholars for Kenyon College, but it is so ample and varied as to answer the requirements of those having some other college in view, or wishing to prepare themselves for business by a select course of study. The scholars live with the Principal, and are at all times under the ( crsonal care of the Officers of the School. The system of discipline is such as to be suitable in every way, both for young l)oys and for older ones. The household wants of each scholar are cared for by the Principal and the Matron. The buildings are separate from those of the College. Each room is furnished for two scholars. A new play ground has just been added, making the grounds equal to those of any school.
