'In recording these facts, it becomes neces- sary, in the nature of the work, to make use of jokes, practical and otherwise, which we hope will prove harmless, not only to the College, but also to the individual Pro- fessor and student. The saying is true, that no man living is without fault, and as man is not able to see his own faults as others see them, we hope that many may be benefited by the jokes and insinuations which are used in this work. We are aware that some, in reading this book, will be- come wrathy and possibly feel like venting their rage on the Editorial Hoard. It has been proposed that the Edi- torial Hoard make itself scarce on the appearance of this book, or that each editor provide himself with an armor for the occasion. -T EDITORIAL. 5 ' However, we mean harm to no one, and hope that our jokes (if there be any) may be received good naturedly, both by the students and Faculty. It has been our purpose to make no criticisms on the working of the Institution, although such criticism could honestly be made on some of the examinations which we are expected to pass. Right here it might be well to state that it is the senti- ment. not only of the Editorial Board, but of a majority of the students, and also of some of the Faculty, that the ancient custom of examinations is of no practical benefit to the College. This system does not mean hard and honest work during the term, for a student can cram up and pass an examination in a few days. We are glad to see that some of our rival institutions have recognized this evil, and have taken a step for the better by abolishing ex- aminations. It is our hope that Kenyon will not delay long in keeping pace with the age. It is with pleasure that we notice the safe return of one of our Professors, who has, for the past term, been seeking health and pleasure among the alligators of Florida. � It is hardly necessary to mention the rapidity with which the new Gymnasium is being completed, for the work as it progresses is eagerly watched by all the students. The universal prayer is, that the weather may be good so as to occasion no delay, for the boys arc anxious to develop muscle as well as brain. 9 ------------------------------------------------------------------- ED TOKIA!.. If our book should fall below the anticipation of our friends, and appear to be tame, we have a good excuse to offer. In order to get out a good publication, it is absolutely necessary that there should be material to work on. I n- fortunately material is scarce in one quarter this year. It is expected by all that the Freshman Class should figure prominently in a book of this character, and yet it is not a book of dreams ; but when the Freshman Class does nothing but dream, what is to be done? Infant slumbers are sweet, but they seem out of place in a college student. At present there seems to be a prospect of losing one of our Professors. In expressing our grief at such an event, we express the sentiment of the whole College. Our desire is that this calamity may not befall us, and that if it is in- evitable, the Chair may be promptly and, if possible, as well filled. During the year our President has been untiring in his work for the College, but time alone can give its increase. We close our remarks hoping that our friends may find this publication a source of amusement, and with a wish of success to our Alma Mater. 10 OFReep of 0 i tl e Inetibtionc.

As we hurry through our course, amid pleas- ures innumerable, little mindful of the past, we are suddenly stopped in our maddening career and asked to expose ourselves for a brief period to public inspection. We look around us and arc transformed by the deep sense of responsibility which rests upon us. Four years of labor completed ! Tis with a sacred solemnity, with reverent gratitude, that we gaze upon those helpful accessories of student life, des- tined, some day, we hope, to share with us a fame radiant as the stars. Yes, ours has been a “ checkered’’ career, for many of our men have been jumped. • Time has made sad havoc amid our ranks. Although his attacks have often been rude and unex- pected, yet he has graciously left to more enduring cmi- 39 INSTOR Y OF 'EIGHTY-THREE. V nence the beauty, chivalry, and poetry of our world-famed class. Our history has not been in ••words,” but in “deeds.” To recount these were but to burden you with unnecessary reiteration. Our qualities are few, but startling. Since mentioning them might arouse the inconsiderate ebullitions of our fellow-classmen abroad, we humbly re- frain. We have reached the summit of collegiate glory! We look upon the past with pride—with a conscious superi- ority and unalloyed «satisfaction. With eagerness and a feeling of coming greatness, we peer into the ever receding future. Oh! Historian! Where is thy power? Picture if thou canst, the fully-blossomed capacities of our noble band! Phe pen of the Historian trembles! He is over- come with a sense of his impotence. I he ideas here presented must compensate in SHggt'Stkr- fuss for a more exact portrayal.

Wilde) “Here we are again.” Two years ago as timid Freshmen we first made our little how, and tremblingly spoke our little piece before you. Now, behold us? MEN. The beauty of the V' ' y world. You would scarcely recognize in us the timid youths, whose acquaintance you first made in September, 1880. Observe the graceful self- possession, the pitying glances we cast at the turmoils which agitate the lives of under-classmen ; our calm familiarity with “ Billy, ’ so awe-inspiring to-the Freshmen. Such are Eighty-Four men to day. As we greet you now we may lx found enjoying to the fullest extent that delightfully pleasant unreality known to the world as Junior ease. No longer, however, do we spend weary hours in digging for roots of doubtful extrac- tion, or endeavoring to obtain a differential equivalent to Sophomore cheek and Freshman verdancy. 48 HISTORY OE 'EIGHTY-FOUR. Modesty—and modesty alone—restrains us from giving a recital of the many victories we have gained, and honors we have won. We were typical Freshmen—green, typical Sophomores—and arc typical Juniors — dignified, blooded hand some and in love. We are proud of our past, still prouder of our present, and entertain the strongest hopes for the future. Judged by that wisest of adages, ‘4 By their deeds you shall know them,” we can safely say that Eighty-Four “abducts the Vienna” over anything in college. Our Junior year is nearly done. We are swiftly nearing that long-looked for but ever to-be regretted time when we shall bid adieu to Kenyon, and shall launch our little crafts upon the troubled waters of this 4‘world of sin and misery.” But one more page of class history remains. It is as yet unwritten. We can only hope that lie to whose lot it shall fall to fill that page will have cause to inscribe thereon nothing less brilliant than that we have thus far left behind us.

Carlyle would have reveled in such a flittering subject. How, then, can we do it justice ? We hope no one who reads this m history will think ’85 a boasting class. On TV3 C J the contrary its modesty has often been the q) subject of comment, yet the briefest record of her deeds will present that appearance, for the present year has brought with it such unparalleled triumphs, that to one not acquainted with us, it would seem that we arc following in the steps of inferior classes, and bragging on what never occurred. We will, therefore, give the bare facts only. As to our work in the several collegiate departments, we might refer the eager inquirer to the Professors, and feel sure that we would not blush at their re|x rt ; but we know that their veneration for us would tempt them to show too great partiality, and it is one of our numerous mottoes not to tempt the Faculty. 47 • • HISTORY OF ' EIGHT Y-F! YE. The grades of the class show that we make it our first duty always to choose business before pleasure. Yea, verily, we would as soon think of cutting Chapel as of going to recitations without well prepared lessons. And we have a kind of an idea that the Professors would suffer any hardship rather than miss meeting us in the class-room. Ye judge this from the fact that not one has ever allowed us the mortification of adjourning on him. Our success in the Knglish department has been astound- ing. P'or the first time in the history of these Institutions the Sophomore class is required to deliver original orations; and if we may judge from the criticisms of the Professor, and the wrapt attention of the audience, these orations ring with that eloquence which Daniel Webster strove in vain to cultivate. In social qualities, we stand unrivalled. The upper classes envy—the Freshmen, bless their young hearts, look- up to us with fond admiration. And well may these poor innocents do so, for did we not. when they came here wretched and frightened, take them under our motherly charge, «and chastise them with a fatherly arm ? At one time we determined to reform the society of Gambier, by instituting a recent invention called “round dancing, ’and by entertaining the unfortunate inhabitants with stage performances, but one or two little things—in the shape of the faculty—interposing, we quietly' HISTORY OF 'EIGHTY-FIVE. desisted. We cite this instance to show that we think of others than ourselves, and try to provide for their hap- piness. It would not be just to close this history, without mod- estly speaking of the pluck of the class. Although next to the largest class in the college, she is afraid of none. She has ever held her own against the encroachments of the mighty Seniors, and the shy, cunning of the Juniors. Opinion seems to differ as to there having been at one time a rush between 85 and '86. If such an event did take place, it has been lost sight of. In closing, we wish to warn Bancroft, Guizot, and other historians, that this history has been copyrighted, and the United States will make war on any foreign power that steals it.

Ami urge my laggard pen along, O Goddess, thou who nilcst above, Listen to this talc of love. This talc to thee I would unfold, Tho’ e’en it makes my blood run cold. I’d sing to thee in rythmic measure. Of a youth wandering at his leisure. Who in his travels, here and there. Free as a bird, light as the air. Plants his loot upon a shore, Echoing to the ocean’s roar. ilis heart was pure as the driven snow. Unknown to anguish or to woe, Free from every trace of sorrow'. He bore no wound of Cupid’s arrow. But stay, while here I pause to weep. In bursts of anguish strong and deep. But again I will resume my theme. While tears yet in my eyel'ds gleam. The youth wandered along the beach. Gazing wistfully as far as the eye could reach, To where a maiden, wondrous fair, “ With beautiful eyes and beautiful hair,” Was gaily sporting with the ocean. As gifted with the mermaid’s potion. Then for the first did Cupid’s dart Pierce the center of his throbbing heart. And a glance from those lovely luminous eyes. Like a ray from the sun in the heavenly skies. Kindled the flame of his latent love. Like the fire of Brahma brought from above. Alas! alas! for mortal strength so vain. That with its mighty force can scarce restrain The sympathetic floods of tears that flow At sight or tale of another’s woe.

The Seniors and the Juniors Were tilled with joyous glee At the prospect of the battle. And the slaughter soon to be. They strode around the campus. And their hearts were beating light. As they watched, with anxious feeling, The progress of the fight. The Seniors, few in numbers, Looked on without a tear. As always is their custom, When no harm for them is near. • Right here it might be proper. And we do it without fear, To state that they arc only brave. When full of lager beer. The Juniors, timid at the first. Thought j� erhap it might be wrong To countenance the fighting l y their presence in the throng. but as soon as they discovered That from danger they were free. They thought it would be better For a Junior not to flee. So first u|� on the Freshmen They urged with all their might. That, in order to l� e students. They first must learn to fight. THE BATTLE OF S5 I S. 80. Then they told the bloody Sophomores That the Freshmen were afraid. And would break in wild disorder When the first attack was made. Now the Freshmen held a meeting In a room round in the wing. And there had their election. Which of course’s the proper thing. Then to carry out a custom”. Which has been observed so long. They marched out upon the campus. To sing their first class song. It also is the custom. Though professors think it wrong. For the Sophs, on this occasion. To interrupt the song. Si they gathered on the campus. Beneath an old oak tree Where, sheltered from the moon beams. From detection they were free. They were armed with chain and water. Mighty implements of war. Which had been used in conflicts Of the same kind, long before. But hark, there come the Freshmen, From their meeting in the wing; They draw up in line of battle. And with fear ln-gin to sing. Now see, they are advancing, But with a feeble tread ; There is Gebhart, oft called “Sadie,” Marching boldly at their head! Next come Sterrctt, Grant and Harnwell, They the bravest of them all. And “Tim,” the loud mouthed villain, Whose conceit’s by no means small. There they come prepared for battle. And one secs as they draw near. That their brave men head the column. W liilc the cowards guard the rear. 88 THE BA TTLE OF 85 VS. '80. On they march and sing the louder, When no Soph’mores they can see. And at length they pass along Beside the old oak tree. But the Soph’mores watch, in silence, The Freshmen as they pass. And then, with deafening war cry, Fall on their rear en masse. First they rush them with the pump chain, To draw them in a group. Then they douse them with the water, Amidst their wild war whoop. Now all the Freshmen being armed With flour, in paper sacks, Wield their weapons with all vengeance O'er the Soph’morc’s heads and backs. The chain's broken, water wasted. Flour spilt, to no avail. Some clinch and tussle wildly. Others shrink in fear and quail.. Then up speaks windy Tappan, As he rushes to the fray. “ Bad luck to any Freshman Who may chance to come this way.” Then out roars Todd, the rancher. Who comes from far Out West. As he stands far in the background, “ Fellow Sophomores, do your best.” Down goes bow-legged Russell, With a Freshman on his back. Then C ase, the granger’s conquered. And also’s Ohl, called “ Mack.” Among the verdant Freshmen There is Clements, mighty tall, There is Dudley, Chase and Bowman, Biggest cowards of them all. But where’s Bopc and Brown and Bartlit? They’ve sought refuge from the fray. They’ve hid behind Prof. Colville’s house. To keep out of danger’s way. THE BATTLE OF 85 i'S. '80. At last the battle’s ended. And each does his very best To show that he has been more brave And more valiant than the rest. Each claims that he encountered, At the same time, five or six ; If this l c true, then figures lie. As do all arithmetics. At length the campus is quiet. Anti the moon looks down serene. As often she has done before. Upon the College green. On the battle field there’s silence. Save the cricket’s lonely chirp. And history must do its part, And record the bloody work. w THIS IS WHAT TUK STI'IIENTS WANT, 1 1 I WHAT THE FACUI.TV OBJECT TO. 91 to Coppe porcslerct . U. .1.

AFTKR VICTOR IIICO. lklioM a vision came by night unto a wise man of Cambier, a city of the Kcnyonites, and said unto him : “Oh! Man, why sleepcst thou? Arise, and get thee unto the land of crocodiles and alligators, and slay the inhabi- tants thereof, that it may l� e known unto the generations which aie yet for to come, that thou art a man of valour.” And liehold the words seemed good unto him, and he arose and buckled on his sandals and saddled his ass, ami gat him forth—he and all his people. And they travelled many days, and came unto that land, and he pitched his tent by the waters and when he had refreshed himself, and his he.asses and she-asses and his camels with provender, he said within himself-. “Now know I that 1 am a 93 THE JO I EXE y O THE IV SE MAX OE GAMMER. mighty man. and shall do wouderous things. And it was even o. And carlr in the morning he arose and took his shot gun. The weight thereof 7oas three sheckels of brass, and the length thereof four cubits and a span, ami one of the inhabitants of the land of Kthiopia went before him and car- ried his shot-bag. And he went forth to do battle, peradventure he should kill something. And it was about the ninth hour when he came upon an alligator suddenly unawares, and his soul melted like wax within him, and he wot not what he did, for he jumped into the water and swam even as a fish. And.the alligator like-wise saw the man. and he climbed a tree, for he was sore afraid. And after these things lie waxed strong yet again, and armed himself and loent forth. Now there was in that region a mighty alligator, and he was 'crygreat, for he had feasted on many niggers. Howbeit, at this time he was very wroth,for there had been no niggers around for many moons. And it came to pass when the alligator lifted up his eves and saw the mighty man of Gambaer coming to him yet afar off. that he waxed hot, and-when the man had come nigh unto him. lie cracked his tail tike unto a whip, and he rose up against him and opened his mouth and spake with the tongue of man. and said, “drop that gun.” and the man did make haste and drap it. And the alligator spake yet again the second time and said, “git,” and the man gat. And when he ‘.w afar off he turned and looked upon the alligator ami said unto him. tauntingly. “I go „iy way.” And after that he dares! not go there again.

IIIS SCHOOL is just dosing its-Third Year, under the new plan of management by Regents. Efforts and ex- pense have not been spared to place the School among the front ranks of American Institutions of this kind. In our estimation, it is now worthy of being called one of the best Boys’ Schools in our land. The Buildings are large, commodious, well ventilated, and heated with steam throughout. The beautiful situa- tion and delightful grounds, are scarcely equalled in this or any other country. Having these material advantages, it has remained only to combine thorough instruction with careful discipline, and to have the household affairs efh ciently conducted, to justify our high estimation of the School. These advantages have been secured by a corps of assist- ants of ability and experience. Visitors are cordially invited to inspect the School, and learn our methods.
