HAT an abundance of thoughts, but lack of language with which to clothe them, (this simile is taken from Eve in the Garden of Eden) occurs to the swimming (Champagne 75 cts. per bottle) brain of the student, class-historian for the first time (and we hope the last). What an arduous task it is to compress a great deal into a little (a a college course and Freshman intellect) few know, who have not tried it. Oh! for the power of a Hallatn, a Gibbon, or a Bancroft (no cribs on these) to portray the brilliant deeds of Kenyon’s youngest class. But what shall we say first when there is so much to he said but neither time nor space in which to say it? What an inspiration did the magic word “Ninety” give to the loyal Freshman, on that memorable night in which eighty-nine was overcome, but what terror did it strike to the fainting hearts of the Sophs, who came, saw and were conquered: (we have nothing to do with the brawls of under classmen.) Since to the victors belong the spoils, it is the bounden duty of Ninety (a dutiful class to be sure!) to return thanks to the ladies of the Hall for their substantial com- pliment (we presume this means bread and milk) on that famous night. Could the walls of old Rosse and Hubbard speak, methinks they could reveal an important period (yes: very nearly a full stop) in the unwritten history of Ninety. 34
