But past are those scenes, and hand in hand we struggle on the home stretch ; and it is to be hoped that none of us will fall by the wayside, and that ' 81 will graduate the largest class that has, as yet, left the halls of our University. Historian. 21

bulldoze the faculty; the words of our oft repeated song seem well adapted to point out the remaining ones of our class — Pome have gone to lale and Harvard, Some to Princeton and Cornell. But to our history. When last year we found ourselves Sophomores, we felt it a duty devolving upon us to initiate the Freshmen into the mysteries of college life, not in the semi-bar- barous manner shown by ' 80 the previous year, but with true respect to their feelings and dignity. As homeless and friend- less waifs we cared for them; when they cried for mamma and would not be comforted, we gave them milk; in the words of the Scriptures, ' ' Homeless I found ye and I took ye in, naked, and I clothed ye. In the annual game; of foot ball between the Sophomores and Freshmen we were worsted by ' 82, but amply made up for that defeat by taking every cane in the rush at the athletic sports. In November, 1878, we took the usual visits of inspection with the professor of chemistry, and, be it said, generally came back to Bethlehem sober — a thing never before known in sopho- moric annals. In December, 1878, the annual Epitome was published by our class, and far surpassed all former issues, the editors striv- ing to make it more of a literary publication than in former years, and less of a mere compilation of facts. In athletics we covered ourselves with glory, carrying off over half the prizes at the Spring meeting. The class supper at the Eagle was the last thing of note during the sophomore year. The following morning found one poor fellow on the porch of the Eagle singing The Lord de- livered Daniel, why can ' t He deliver me ? Another one in the arms of Morpheus on Monocacy bridge; a third, the most di- lapidated of them all, was found in front of the Doctor ' s house on the campus; and yet Charlie insists that he did not order strengthened claret. We must not forget to mention that our noble Pat, the orator, managed to capture the Wilbur Scholarship, having scored the highest average mark ever made in Lehigh. 20
