THE REVEI LLE. ithlimihi� bv the kkatkk.mti� ok CIRCLEVILLE, OHIO: IMdS IIHMI.H PRISTINO AND P1TBUNHIXG HOI’S . • 1882. Kenyon College. i 881—1882. .V “ Here are a fete of the unpleasant M words that ever blotted paper. To the Faculty of the Theological Seminary, as a slight assistance in the promotion of morality. To the Trustees of Kenyan College, for their kindness in so early completing the Gymnasium, This nnmlter of the Kenyon Reveille is respectfully dedicated, in the hope that it may prove a source of amusement and instruction. NOTHER year has passed, carrying with it the numberless (?) events and sublime deeds of the college world. Terrible battles have been fought and won. The number of wounded bedsteads at- test the fierceness of the war which has raged be- tween Sophomore and Freshman. To rescue all these brilliant deeds from oblivion is now our task. To every learned student; to every stupid professor, we now lav open the road to immortality, hoping this may awaken in each a noble ambition to merit our praise and avoid our censure. In editing the Rkvetllk we seek neither fame nor gold; our object is to reform and instruct. Our censure shall be impartial to both student and professor, and if wo suffer for it, we shall not be the first who have suffered in the cause of reform. Out of the pure benevolence of our hearts we criticise all who are worthy of our attention, feeling that candid censure and instruction is the greatest kindness we can bestow. We have endeavored to make the Reveille a true mirror of student life and feeling. As a critic the Reveille has been im- partial, though sometimes severe. It has fearlessly criticised student and professor alike, while trying, as far as is consistent with its purpose, to hurt the feelings of no one. s EDITORIAL. Some members of the Faculty have objected to the publication of the Kevkillk this year. One reason which they stated was, that they feared it might contain too severe personalities against the students. This argument would certainly not have been made by persons who understood the case. If the students fear these personalities, why do they elect us ? We are only repre- sentatives, and as such we only carry out their wishes. It is true the editors are elected by the fraternities; but the fraterni- ties include all but a very small fraction of the number of stu- dents, and we have dealt with the non-fraternity men as gently as possible. Another argument was, that the Faculty feared that in our eagerness to ridicule we would injure the College. Did it ever occur to the Faculty that we might have the interest of the College as much at heart as they? We, being students ourselves, perhaps know better than men who seem to have forgotten their College days, what will induce students to come to Kenyon. A few rough jokes will not keep away half as many students as the knowledge that the Faculty will not allow even the College annual to be published without restrictions. With regard to those articles which may ridicule some of the Faculty, we simply wish to say that we publish them without any feeling of hostility towards the Faculty. Some of these articles are mere jokes, and any sensible man would consider them as such, and care nothing about them. Some are the expression of the feeling of the students for their professors. Whether these feelings are just or not we will not attempt to say; we simply give them expression. In any case, it will not hurt the professors “ To see thcmsils as it hers we them. It wad frae many a blunder free them. And foolish notion.” But enough of this discussion. The subject is not exhausted, but our readers probably are. We are glad to see Delano Hall completed with such prompt- ness and skill, and wish we could say as much of the new (iym- 0 EDITORIAL. mi� iuin,44 which is being built.” We do not know the cause of the delay in building Hubbard llall, hut we have faith enough in 44 the authorities' to believe that it is unavoidable.

OR the fourth and last time, the historian of ’Eighty-Two has the painful pleasure of recording, in his most felicitous vein, the events of the past year. About one-fourth of the original hand have Survived to graduate, some cum honore, and all with distinction, from (jambier’s classic shades, ere en- tering into a field of greater possibilities. They go thundering down the corridors of time along with u Kenyon’s five greatest sons.” and “others whose names are recorded.” (See Minutes of the Board of Trustees.) As the months of this year have sped by, condi- tions imposed by a hard fate upon those of our members who had devoted their energies more especially to col- lateral work, have disappeared like leaves before an autumn gale, or pie before the ravagers of a boarding-house table. To-day the class finds itself freed from care concerning all things save two, viz: how to secure, at the least expenditure of labor and money, orations suitable for commencement occasions, and how best to abate, if not suppress, the evils of poker playing. These two problems, great in their scope and in their hearing upon the interests of our College, demand the discrimin- ation and best thought of our members. In a general way it may be said that ’82 has long enjoyed he confidence of the Faculty. This esteem found expression last HISTORY of •EIGHTY-TWO. term in a short vacation tendered us by that venerable body It was decided to accept. Opportunity was thus given to attend the musical festival in Cincinnati and hear Patti warble. The class was largely represented, but, owing to a bad cold, the prima donna begged to be excused from singing. The Seniors were exceedingly disappointed, as they had not heard any good music since leaving Cambier, and they did not expect to return before three days. So they were compelled to divert themselves in other ways. Prof. S— once remarked upon the connection, in all ages, between music and the worship of Bacchus. We are well aware that the citation is utterly irrelevant, but refer to it only as to a curious fact. The Senior delegation were present at the Musical Festival, and brought back glowing accounts of its excellence. They re- turned soon after, stopping m route, at several places of interest, prominent among these being Columbus and Mt. Vernon. At the latter place many of them had been before, and now were not without a kind welcome. After enjoying a continuous round of festivities here, the wanderers returned and found themselves recuperated, and ready for any greater intellectual labor than Fame has hitherto accorded them. The value of this production depends, not upon its literary merit, but upon the greatness of the subject treated. The his- tory of ’8 2 is not to be transferred to paper—this labor transcends the power of mortals. Her past has been illustrious; her future we leave to the speculations of the Class Prophet and the develop- ments of time. In politics she is pro bono publico; in religion, tolerant; in all concerns of life, collectively and individually, aiming at fairness and the character of gentlemen. To this is added an immense amount of aggressiveness and many times more of “ back bone.” As an unprejudiced and impartial writer of history, the historian refrains from «tying more. ©lass of ’83.

Will that he a rise, or fall? We can not yet tell. Judging from the present Senior class, men become more childish as they attain greater ago and higher position. Still we have proved an exception to most rules; may we not hope to rise superior to the example set us by ’82? •r It is true that we have no man who has yet as- pired to he President of the College, or even to be the confidential advisor of that dignitary; but we have a most learned “ Prof.” in our midst who has succeeded in plucking many laurels from the Senior brow. Kindness to our inferiors is one of our chief characteristics. L o we not protect the puny Sophomore and the verdant Freshman from the merciless hand of the Senior, striving to rob them of their precious holiday ? Our number has decreased, but our prestige is as great as ever. We have no need now of the hardened muscles that added glory to our name as under-classmen. As under-classmen we gained the prizes due to muscle; as upper-classmen we now show how other laurels arc won. We have been the most daring Freshmen, the strongest Sophomores; already by our grades we have proved ourselves the best Juniors, and it only remains for us ns Seniors to prove ourselves the wisest officers of the College. 41 Glass of ’84.

Would have lain dormant.” How true is this in the case of'84! Think of fc Thcr as she entered Kenyon College, and look at her now. 1 ler first troubles began with her entrance examinations, for, although her members came here as peaceable, well-to-do fellows, in a few cases dis tinguished for verdancy, they were compelled to . fight and struggle hard for a position in College. They won the victory, hut how? By accepting condition beyond measure. These were heavy burdens, hard to throw off. But 84 was not des- tined to be crushed so early in youth. She labored hard and soon removed these conditions, thus considering herself free. But new troubles were in store for her; for “oft in the stilly night ” would be heard low whispers, a running hither and thither, then a gentle tapping, increasing to heavy blows, to the tumbling of timbers, and resulting in great disorder and damage to College property. “Of course the Freshmen did it all;” “They don't know any better;” “Nobody else would deign to do such things. Such was gossip. It then became our duty to show our fellow-students that we did know better, and that we were capable of better things. We accordingly applied ourselves to our studies more diligently than ever, allowing no time for such nightly proceedings. 44 HISTORY OF ' RIGHT Y-FOVR. Yet we were unable to convince them of our innocence. Let us remark that “ Non si male fuimus, et olim sic trimus, and that we never neglected our studies for our wickedness. This is shown by our class standing, for no one has ever failed in exam- inations. True, we have lost a number of men since first term Freshman, but never one for “flunking.” No, that would be a disgrace; a tiling not to he tolerated for a moment by a class like ’84. Grades below 85 are extremely uncommon, and below 80— humph! never occur; while those above 90 are more numerous than they have been in any other class for years. Do not think that our only stronghold is in the class-room, for we have thus far carried oil’ the honors of the ball field. Here, our strength there is none to deny, for we have never been beaten. '88 tackled us, cautiously, for the beer. We won the game, but didn’t get the beer; a gentle reminder to '83, tisn't too late yet. Again she came forth to the contest, but this time for a “friendly game,” i. e., no beer, and retired with fewer laurels than before. ’85 then presented itself in all vigor of youth, but like 83 retired with sore defeat. (“ Honor to whom honor is dueshe “ ponied ” up the beer.) In the Gymnasium we admit we did not excel, for this was a kind of business unknown to us before, but like other studies it took us but a short time to learn. Our progress was rapid, i. « ., in running, jumping and chain-pulling especially, especially on one occasion well known to our readers. So successful were we at chain-pulling that we thought we would “take a hand” at rojie-pulling Kenyon Day with 83. Here we met with the same success as with chain-pulling, i. c., “got left. ’ ’88 imposed upon our good nature—and a better natured class of fellows than '84 never was known—by taking the better side on which to pull, an act of which we little suspected them. And on the former occa- sion, the opjK sing i arty behind the bars began work before the gu nnl was given. This caused a rupture in the proceeding and resulted in a foot race and running jump. But since our new 45 HISTORY OF •EIOUTYFOhR,. Gymnasium, “which was in the process of being built ’ last Com- mencement, has been completed, we have learned many new tricks, one of which is to stop rope-pulling, for it’s too violent We devote from one to four hours per «liem to exercise in our new “Gym.” The structure itself is a perfect beauty, and very attractive. The apparatus is the most complete and best made. We hope the editors of this publication will give a perfect cut and a lively description of this, Kenyon's finest building, with its Profs.’ offices, billiard parlors, etc. Strange to say, there has not been a single man hurt in our new “Gym, either through care- lessness or over exertion. So much improvement have we made, especially in boxing, that now we arc the acknowledged “hard hitters of Kenyon. As a class we do not believe in heavy- weight. or violent exercise, either mental or physical, but are ready advocates of Calisthenics. We acquire much strength by walking and digging, for we never “ride. Again we call your attention to our work in society. First, in our Literary Societies. Here our abilities as orators and states men, futuri «wre, show forth in su] erahundance. The societies depend upon us for their existence. We are striving hard to instil into the youthful minds of our immediate successors the importance of regular attendance, thorough knowledge of par- liamentary law, and diligent attention to all literary work, that they may be able to carry on the societies when we shall have graduated. And second, in social societies. Well, here, suffice it to say, they can’t get along without us. We neither smoke, chew, swear, drink, play billiards, pool, nor cards, yet we do make the “ mashes, and the secret of all our mashes (keep this under your hat) rests with our mustaches. 1 bus you see, by this brief narration of facts, our social, phys- ical, and mental position relative to our fellow students. Not- withstanding all this, we are pronounced, and regarde«l as the 4« Glass of Wx A. M. SNYDER, W. E. RUSSEL, S. 8. EARLY, IRVING TODD, B. B. WYXKOOP, (i. SPITZ HR, . CARL HARDY, President. .

On entering college we were regarded by our new acquaintance a capable of no articulate, and ns marring all things with our imitative lips, hut we soon learned to talk, and well do we remember the words of a noble so-called Senior, who from his window seeing us mingling with fire and tow below, cried out, “Oh fool! look out; 1 told you so! Go home and see your mamma! O! O!” But how did we know? We never heard of such things before. We know our folks at home wouldn’t do anything like that, and why should we expect it here? Why there is Webster (George), who said it was the most outrageous trick he had ever heard of, and everybody knows he is authority; and if you don’t believe it ask the K. C. Profs. But to the question in hand. We had more “sand” than any class in College; but as it’s getting warm weather now we are obliged to wash oftener, so, according to logic, less sand. What tee want is liberty, and to beat the Sophomores at base ball, and don’t you forget it; if we haven’t got the daisiest class—well, then, an elephant can t climb a tree! Talk about Latin! The very hereditary and fundament- al principles of the Roman people, of the Roman Government, ami of the Roman slaves—although Augustus was once absolute ruler and the Persians a great group—has been thoroughly in- stilled into our veins. Many people entertain alarming and ap- prehensive presentiments of our aggrandizement. Since we are not descended from the Peshwerais they need entertain no trepi- dation of the regeneration of their customs. We are their formid- able foes. Under these two different forms, therefore, doth tradi- tion reveal to us the primitive world; or, in other words, these are the two grand conditions of humanity which fill the records of primitive history. On the one hand, we see a class, lovers of peace, revering God, blessed with long life, which they spend in patriarchal simplicity and innocence, and still no strangers to the deeper science, especially in all that relates to the sacred tradition and inward contemplation, and transmitting their 50 HISTORY OF EIGHTY- FfVK. science to posterity in the oM and symbolical writing; not in fragile volumes, but on durable monuments of stone. On the other hand, we behold a giant class of pretended demi-gods, proud, wicked, and violent, or, as they are called in the later sages of the heroic times, the heaven-storming angels. We seize upon this opportunity to inform our Professors in particular and our friends. Once in a while one or more of our members do wrong. Well, there’s nothing bad about that; but then you know we can’t always call on our Profs, as much as we would like to. They give us pretty good grades, any way. Well, whose deal is it? I'll go you one better! Why, there’s one of our number who can just down fifteen at a run every time. Presenting this little epistle to you, Mr. Editors, to assist you in your arduous work, I sign myself, very respectively. Historian. P. S. I would say more, but 1 have nothing more to say. II.

Whence these legends and traditions, With the curling smoke of bon-fires. With the odor of tobacco, With the dew and damp of midnight, Willi the rushing of the Sophomores, With the screaming of the Freshmen, With their tales of dread adventures Of the road into Mt. Vernon? I should answer, I should tell you. From the campus and the dungeons. From the wailing air of evening, From the rustling of tin? tree tops, From the howling of the tom nit, Of the tom cat, the meaow-oouw. From the college «log, the .lucky, From the minutes of the Fac’lty, Of the Faculty, the wise men. Ye who love the tales of horror, l «� ve adventures wild and dreudfnl. Listen to the song of Freshmen, To the story of their trials. It was in tlm lam I of (iambier, By the hanks of the Kokosing, In the mighty State Ohio, That there dwelt a triln of Freshmen, Children of the veniant springtime, Full of freshness as the springtime, Oreen as hemlock in the autumn. Came they to the land of Gauthier; An«l when summer's leaves had fallen. «4 SONG op Tilt: PRE8IIMAN. Whfii the earth was white with snow-flakes. Green as summer still remained they, As the hemlot’k still unfadcd. As, tis Haiti hy “ Doe,” the wise man, Moistenetl brass grows green as heinloek. Many hitter foes of Freshmen Dwelt within the land of Gamhier. They were Sophomores, tierce ami wicked— Sophomores full of wrath and whisky. Full of hatred for the Freshmen. There was H-yw-nl, friend of women; There was D -gl-ss, friend of whisky; Pl-rapt-n, terrible in anger; W-rw-ek, lover of Mt. Vernon; Cr-f—t, full of cheek and lager; J-nk-n, like the dove in beauty, hike the rattlesnake in malice. Many times they vexed the Freshmen, Filled their hearts with sore affliction, Made them wish that death had ended All their troubles in a minute. Fierce the war that r.tgcd between them ; Than the fire ten times fiercer, Than the storm-wind far more dreadful. During midnight, when the Freshmen, In their downy couches lying. Dreamed of home and of their mammas. Came the Sophomores, like the burglars, Covered with the masks of burglars, Seized upon the freshest Freshmen. Who were clothed in garb of night-time— In the airy garb of night-time; Dragged them from their downy couches, Right njM� n their backs they laid them. When the pumps gushed water on them. Then the Sophomores, flent� and vengeful. Sought tin nwuns of certain Freshmen, Pierced the ceilings o’er their conches, Roup'd condensed sweets U|miii them, K5 SOSO OF THE FRESH MAX. Covers 1 them over with molasses, 'Pill they sprang lip from their ronrlira With the lied clothes sticking to them, Swore they li:ul enough molasses. Swore they wished for no more sweetness. Ami one «lav, w hen all the Freshmen In the room of “ Proxy ” lingered, S|M� rting with the sweet mathematics, In geometry indulging, I'hen the Sophomores, still malicious. Peeked the ground with Freshmen IniI clothes: 11 urlod the stoves from out tin window ; Hid the bedstead in the dungeon; Made the rooms look like the dickens. I� ut the worst was yet forthcoming; Awful schemes the Sophomores plott d, Schemes of vengeance, fierce and dreadful. Again it was the hour of midnight soya or the rresiixax. Only sereeehing of the night-hawk. And tin Juniors cursing Physics, Broke the solemn midnight stillness. It was then the wily Sophomores, Like the thieves who love the darkness. Creeping softly in th«- hallways. Firmly fastened in the Freshmen. 4iBell ' how useless was thy pistol! “Mickey,” vain thy boasted boot-toe! But one Freshman still was watching, He the nightliest of the Freshmen ; He, the nightliest among many; Far and wide among the students. Spread the name and fame of “ Bopy.” No man dared to strive with “ Bopy No man dared compete with “ Bopy.” Ixmg he mused upon the wrongs Done unto his brother Freshmen, And his soul was filled with anger At the wrong his brothers suffered. And so he, the man of valor. Formed an ambush for the Sophomores. Lay in ambush like a panther. Not within his own room slept he, In the room w ith “ Dud,” the Senior, I-av he like a hungry panther, Waiting for the foolish Sophomore� . Forth u| on the Sophomores sprung he, Than a panther ten times fiercer! And the Senior’s staff he brandished— 'Twas the brass-topped stall'of Seniors, Made of heavy brass ami bass-wood; Right upon the Sophomores smote he. Till the reeling Sophs fell baekward, And the stall flew all to pieces. 0, ve wild winds of the moorland ; 0, ye whirlwinds of the meadows; 0, ye tom cats on the house-to| s; 7 soya of the fresh max. Sing a dirge for fallen Sophomores; Sing a requiem o’er (he buried. O’er the hea|w of slaughtered Sophomores. Stands the dreadful “ B-pe triumphant. Months have passed o’er Gambler’s hill-tops: Many moons have waxed and waned; Time has eooled the wrath of “ Hopy Green the grass grows o’er the Sophomores, Greenness is again triumphant.
