History of ' Eighty-four. IT has again fallen to our lot to write the history of ' 84. The pre- vious chapter, published a year ago, brought us to the end of our first term. After the holidays every man came back to his place; not one was missing. During the first part of the term, the examina- tions being too distant to excite apprehension, the student ' s ruling passion, a desire for fun, was amply displayed. The monotony of the recitations in modern languages was frequently relieved by the mys- terious appearance of gum shoes in mid-air, the spontaneous combustion of parlor matches, and many other phenomena; of course no one knew whence those articles came, but if a fellow was unfortunate enough to be struck, he was immediately consoled with a zero, or its equivalent, — an opportunity to flunk. The drawing-room was a favorite place with the bad spirits ; much to the annoyance of the respected in- structor in Graphics. His improved system of marking (chiefly for deportment) was brought into play, but it utterly failed of effect. Even the imperturbable Arthur was known to get off on several occasions, and to give utterance to threats, brief, but gorged with meaning. The great event of the year was our first class supper. By skillful mancevering we outwitted ' 83, and secured the Sun for the last Friday evening before Lent, — the night they were to have their supper. Their only alternative was the Eagle, whic h they obtained after much solicitation, by promising to keep quiet and sober. What misery compliance with the latter promise must have cost them ! Promptly, at nine o ' clock, we took possession of one of the sumptu- ous parlors of the hotel, which had been decorated and fitted up as a dining-room for the occasion. It were vain to attempt a description of the tables ; suffice it to say that for full three hours the work of demolition (and imbibition) went on merrily. Many toasts were proposed, and the replies in English, French, German and Spanish, did credit to the speakers and the class. We broke up in the early morning, happy
