Class History. THE historian of ' 82 ! What an important position ! I thought, as it dawned upon me in the quiet of my own domicile, that, in the excitement of one of our first Freshmen meetings, I had permitted myself to be elected to fill it. How observant I shall need to be of the sayings and doings of these twenty-two embryo heroes, that the world lose nothing of their wisdom and might ! Oh, for the pen of a Boswell and the ubiquity of a hero of fairy tales, that I might pursue my classmates as Boswell pursued poor Johnson, and draw out from them their wisdom and lore for the benefit of future generations ! All of these reflections passed through my youthful mind, and I was appalled at the magnitude of my undertaking ; fortunately, this feeling did hot last long. In a while the idea crept over me that, after all, the pen of a Macaulay might not be indispensable in recounting how such a one was hazed, such another flunked, and such another went the way of all flesh and took a drink, or, worse still, fell in love. I deter- mined to brace myself to the undertaking, and in course of time produce, according to my ability, a veritable class history. So I will plunge at once ;? media res Did I promise to recount how such a one flunked ? Alas that I so soon break my promise ! Was such a thing ever known in the Class of ' 82 ? I appeal to the reader. However, away with sarcasm ! I must begin my duty as historian. As this history is written for the Sophomore Class Epitome, I almost hesitate to state the result of our first contest, with which, I fear, they were not much pleased. 28
