' Tis but an hour ago since it was nine. And after an hour more ' twill be eleven ; And so from hour to hour we ripe and ripe. And then from hour to hour we rot and rot. And thereby hangs a tale. HE Tale is this : A year ago we were of all fresh things the freshest ; gourds in their greenest stage fail to convey an adequate conception of our ver- dancy. Then with us ' twas nine o ' clock — now ' tis ten ; and being somewhat ripened under the genial influence and instiuclions of ouresteemed Faculty, each one of whom, ' tis sad to say, labors as if the ripening process depended upon himself alone, and also being somewhat rooted and strengthened by such blasts of adversity (adversity has its uses) as were inevitable from our relations to the class preceding us, we are now dee-ne 1 worthy — may we prove so ! — to extend the hand of greeting to all friends of Lehigh, both within and without her walls. This we do through an Epitome which, it is our earnest hope, shall not prove inferior to its predecessors, nor by its faults offer ground for any disparagement of our beloved University, whose record for high endeavor as well as actual achievement may it never be our dishonor to tarnish. Fellow Students, whether the passing year proves profitable in the highest sense of the word, or whether there mingles much of base alloy with the grains of knowledge we here acquire, depends mainly upon ourselves. Our President, Faculty and Instructors are gentlemen of culture and sterling worth ; our University, by reason of its generous endowment, provides all facilities for obtaining a complete education ; in short, our privileges are un- surpassed. Still, we have somewhere heard that every day ' s experience shows how much more actively the work of instruction goes on out of school than in, and in this sense we are, indeed, the fashioners of the firm fabric of our lives ; it rests solely upon us either to ripe and ripe to a fuller maturity of character, or rot and rot into insignificant decay. But we are not writing a sermon, only a Salutatory to a brilliant-crammed- full-of-wit-humor-satire-and-everything-else-to-be-desired-Epitome, with which we hope all generous friends of the ' Varsity will be content. For the benefit of those born kickers (to quote ai illustrious classmate) to whose lips that unfortunate weakness, lack of charity, is already forcing a torrent of criticism even at this, the very outset of the work, we will say that this book is the result of the efforts of the class alone, designs and cuts emanating from our class artist, without whose ready pencil we would have been lost indeed. We will also add that the Epitome loses its most interesting and affecting page in consequence of our inability to insert a full, verbatim report of the Editors ' numerous and much befogged meetings, with the discussions, the criticisms of articles (resulting in sundry fights), the squabblings over the sketches of our patient artist, and all the considerations and reconsiderations incident to the issue of our first and last Epitome. The heart of the most unfeeling critic would have been moved at the bewildered, discouraged, lost appearance of an Editor upon leaving a particularly unhappy confab resulting in blank nothing save the expenditure of a vast amount of patience and energy, or at the sight of a wild, oath-spreading, haggard and disgusted Busi- ness Editor, after an all day ' s struggle in New York or Philadelphia, with pub- lishing and engraving companies and advertisers, not to mention the many delays and minor vexations which the reader scarcely understands, but which serve to perplex aud discompose editors of our small experience. Would-be-critic, if this fetches you not, we will be compelled, in self- defense, to declare that your comments will have no effect upon us. If you compel us to be so, we are clad in an impervious armor of self-satisfaction. Supreme content with the resultof our labors must be our shield in such an event. Do not, however, force upon us an alternative so distasteful to our modesty. Permit us to believe that Epitome ' 85 could be improved upon, though we have done our best. :-B0 D 0E + THag ' FEEj5.- The Right Rev. M. A. DeWolfe Howe. D.D., LL.D.. Bishop of Central Pennsylvania.

While there is great difference in detail, the salient feat- ures are always the same and serve as links which connect the annual dramas, showing that they are the same thing seen from dif- ferent standpoints and enacted by different persons. Thrice have the scenes shifted in their order before cur eyes, and we have advanced from silent spectators to the chief actors in the play. One by one the scenes which have become familiar during the past three years move before us for the last time Is it, then, any wonder that we take part in them with a will hitherto unknown and watch their departure with longing, wistful, per- haps tearful eyes? A few weeks ago we saw the last tussle on the campus that will grace the eyes of ' 83, and now the class is called upon to produce a record of its deeds for the last Epitome that will be published during its college life. Hv perusing the volumes which contain the history of past ages, we learn th ' atwar and discontent constitute the historian ' s most ordinary topics. Those who have manfully met us on the field of battle we have long since vanquished, and though discontent may for a season have reigned beneath the hard rules of the Faculty, the difficulty has always been settled in an amicable manner. The skirmishing of those who accuse us of clownish behavior when we promise ourselves a good time and day free from restraint at the Allentown Fair, or of those who, forgetting that the student is human, would deny him the pleasure of a cane-rush or an occasional bon fire, is not worthy of notice at this place. The struggles of individuals to acquire studious habits by overcoming more natural inclinations must ever remain a private matter, while much of great interest dare never pass beyond the class barriers. These considerations render the task of the historian somewhat difficult : yet so numerous is the material from which to compile, that the difficulty becomes one of selection. The second term of our junior year was characterized by no extraordinary event, save that a prolonged enforced vacation prevented us from displaying our muscle at the sports and our capacity for food and mirth at a class supper, while it obliged us to keep our minds on the stretch to accomplish the year ' s work, which, nevertheless, we did with credit to ourselves. And here ' 83 14 found an opportunity of establishing a new custom at Lehigh, which met the hearty approbation of all. We gave the class which had received us with jeers and taunts when first we came to Lehigh from our comfortable homes, a glori- ous send-off in the shape of a hop, when they for the last time left Lehigh to return to their homes, thus earning their thanks and the praise of the ladies for the splendid get up. As seniors we present a solid front. A seemingly insignificant accident has prevented one man from being with us hitherto. He has the heartfelt sym- pathy of the entire class, and we earnestly hope that he may soon be restored to his place. What can argue more strongly the good feeling which pervades the class than the unanimity of the class elections ? Five minutes was found amply sufficient for transacting that important business, though it may seem rather degrading to prescribe such narrow limits for a senior class meeting. However, we boldly asserted our dignity one morning when pressing business induced us to enter into a conspiracy against the powers that be. When we compare the University as it now is with what it was when ' 83 first approached its walls, what a contrast ? The neglected campus, with its sev- eral foot-paths, has been converted into a magnificent park, with splendid drives and walks ; the trees which once added to the gloomy and deserted appearance, now, together with carefully kept flower-beds, enhance the beauty of the scene. The thousands of volumes in the library, and the gymnasium, soon to be completed, with a new laboratory and chapel in prospecto, render the student unwilling to part with his Alma Mater. To leave the exterior, not only has Packer Hall been refurnishe.l, but what more concerns the welfare of the college, the Faculty has been greatly enlarged both in numbers and in talent. Then, too, we have witnessed, but not passively, the establishment of a first-class college paper ; we have seen a literary society rise, and, alas ! fall, while the engineering society is thriving. Though intruding upon the domains of orations during commencement week, a few words concerning the future of the class may not be amiss. The often asked and seldom satisfactorily answered question is, What do you intend to do after getting through ? A few hinted that their intention is to make Paris howl, but it is improbable that their efforts will be crowned with such unprecedented success. If it be our lot to toil on in obscurity, let us remember that honest diligence is its own reward. And now, having discharged my duty as historian, I step from the stage, hoping that ' 83 may hold her own while at the University, and that the same success may accompany her in after life which has characterized all her efforts here.

For, however varied and interesting may have been the vear to its individual members, it remains a fact that the class as an organization has pursued the even tenor of its way with scarcely a ripple of excitement upon the dead level of recitations, lectures and practise through which it has passed. On returning from the small pox vaca- tion, in which the students — not the small-pox— did the vacating, the class was, metaphorically, dragged by the hair of its head through integral calculus ; and then, without any review, it was de- creed that we should be examined in differential calculus, which had been in- dustriously forgotten during the eight weeks ' stay at home. By this arrange- ment the examination in integral, which was fresh in our minds— fresh with an exceeding great freshness, so that no freshman on earth could freshen it — was put over until the next term, so that, during the summer vacation it might have time to assume a similarly rusty condition. Under these circumstances but one alternative was left us: to flunk ; and flunk we did as one man. The Faculty, recognizing our importance as a factor in the internal economy of the University, granted us another examination, a little one all by ourselves, on the first of July. Of the seven who remained to make the attempt four liked it so well they determined to try it again, and so there has been a gentle sprinkling of examinations and re-examinations in calculus throughout this term, averaging one a week, and resulting in the formation within the class of a graded aristocracy of flunking— flunkers of the first, second and even third degree, with a common herd who basely passed the first e xamination. In the face of these facts who will say that the small-pox epidemic was not a blessing to ' 84 ? But we had almost forgotten the class supper. What would a class history be without an account of the class supper, with happy allusions to the festive board, etc.? The class supper was a success. We assert that dogmatically, recklessly, because in the course of our long and valuable life we never yet heard of a class supper which was not a success. Of the supper proper, i. c, the solid, edible portion of it, we can only say that it was good of its kind, but 20 a Bethlehem kind. Incidentally, it is an interesting speculation as to whether the class supper, as an institution, was originally gotten up for the benefit of the students or of the numerous and sundry landlords of the Sun hotel, who glide on and off the scene with such bewildering rapidity. At present the modus operandi is this. The new landlord strikes Bethlehem in the fall. During the winter he makes enough out of the class suppers to pay his expenses out of town. And in the spring he avails himself of the possibility, leaving his cred- itors in the lurch. Next fall a new man appears. During the winter the classes are again victimized. And in the spring the creditors are again left disconsolate. But, dropping the discussion, socially the supper was a grand success ; and so was the episode which occurred on our way home. The class has reached lhat stage of its existence when, according to all tradi- tion, the careless, rollicking spirit of college life should be at its height ; but that tradition must have established itself before the days of technical colleges, for it certainly has little truth as applied to them. In a technical college the junior year means the separation of the class into seven or eight schools, whose members meet but rarely in a common recitation ; it means the personal su- pervision of every half-dozen students by a separate professor — a damper on the effervescence of fun, in the common acceptation ; it means the concentra- tion of work by each one upon his chosen profession, and the dawning upon the average mind of the fact that the reign of prompting, ponies and re-exam- inations will last but a year longer ; after which every one will have to stand on his own legs and fight his own battles, and in the light infantry at that. Accepting the situation, the class is bravely plodding toward the goal, looking forward unto the things which are before. The time has come when Lehigh expects more of her classes than a paltry half-dozen graduates. To say now that she will not be disappointed by the class of ' 84 is, perhaps, encroaching upon the duties of the prophet, but be assured it will be equally the duty of her future. Historian.

' N taking up the thread of our class history where it was laid down by our predecessor, we cheerfully assume the task of chronicling those events of the year in which ' 85 has borne a prominent part. As we must confine our narrative to those things which concern the class as a whole, we will say nothing of how we enjoyed our Christmas holidays or of the manner in which we bore at home our newly-acquired honors as college men. Suffice to say that the holidays, unlike, alas ! too many of our classmates at the preceding examinations, passed amid mirth and gayety, and on the nth of January we found ourselves once more within the sheltering walls of our Alma Mater, somewhat reduced in numbers, it is true, but making up for the deficiency by the renewed spirits and courage engendered in us by the safe beginning of a second college term. We took up and continued with energy our allotted tasks, noting meanwhile with satisfaction the changes in the curriculum, of which, though they did not materially affect our course at the time, we were not slow to see the advan- tages for us in the future. Thus passed the time until the 17th of February. On the night of that date ' 85 gathered in force in the long dining-room of the Sun Hotel and proceeded to show the proprietor that his profits on the supper were not to be as large as he had expected. The time was given up to revelry, and the toasts and impromptu efforts continued till a late, or perhaps we should say, an early hour. And though the harmony of our homeward march was disturbed by unexpected circumstances, we parted on our side of the river feeling that we had fully realized a student ' s idea of a glorious time. ' ' May we enjoy many such. We then settled down to steady work, but scarce a month had elapsed before, as is well known to all, our labors were interrupted. For when, towards the middle of March, the disease which had already prevailed for weeks in the town, became so widespread and destructive as to compel the cessation of col- lege exercises, the members of ' 85 dispersed with the rest, and for six weeks Packer Hall knew us no more. It is, of course, unnecessary to state that we spent those weeks in diligent study of the work marked out for and sent to us by our ever-considerate Faculty, but still we labored under great disadvantages, and those of our instructors who appreciated our situation and dealt leniently with us on our return were gratefully remembered in our prayers. Our work 26 for the remainder of the term was much harder than before, but we put a pro- portional amount of energy to it and succeeded in advancing to the required points in all our studies. Of the annual examinations little need be said. They were only distin- guished from previous ones by the two facts that the examination in Chem- istry was written, and that the one in Trigonometry was omitted altogether at the time and set for September. Those who passed were congratulated and those who flunked condoled with, but whichever the case, no difference could be discovered in the tone with which the person concerned addressed the in- sulting term of freshy to the innocents who on the 16th and 17th of June made their appearance as applicants for admission to the University. Thev. however, accepted their position with becoming humility, and the members of ' 85 separated for the vacation, realizing that when thev next looked on the walls of Lehigh it would be as Sophomores, whose duty it was to strike terror to the hearts of the class beneath them by their forbidding aspects and awful deeds. The 16th of September found us gathered once more in the chapel of the University, examining across the aisle those who occupied our former seats. Truly, we thought, if variety is the spice of life the life of the freshman class is highly seasoned. There were seedy fresh and solemn fresh. And freshy short and tall ; The freshman with side whiskers And the fresh that wore a shawl. However, nothing daunted by the unpromising aspect of the material before us, we at once set about their education. Our endeavors were crowned with success, and we enjoyed fully that feeling which comes from a consciousness of duty well performed, when we saw each morning in chapel additions to the number of wiser freshmen opposite us. On the 29th of the month the cane-rush came off. It was universally con- ceded that it was more stoutly contested than any previous one, and though ' 85 was compelled by force of numbers to relinquish the cane, after it had ac- tually been in the hands of several of her men for over an hour, her honors were, if anything, increased by the valor with which she contended with such odds against her. At the fall meeting of the Athletic Association, four of the thirteen first prizes given adorned the breasts of ' Ss ' s chosen men, and each one of these happy youths declared his intention to do it again next time, So help me — the Gym- nasium. Therefore, let us hope that the fortunate man to whom is given the job of writing our history for Epitome ' 86, will be able to publish among other tri- umphs of ' 85 a brilliant score of athletic viciories.

HE first authentic information we have concerning the tribe known a s the Fraiches is on the eve of their arri- val at Bethlehem, where they joined themselves with, three tribes under the rule of Maxirr.us Prex. III. Our knowledge of their deeds and exploits before their emigration depends entirely upon accounts given by themselves, and as even the Fraiches, the most peaceful and industrious of the four tribes, were given to exaggeration, their narratives cannot be re- ceived as authentic, but should be preserved merely as fables, interesting on account of the vividness of imagination displayed and the erratic regard for truth therein contained. They brought with them their penates, or household gods, placed over their hearths, symbolized by pipes, stuffed gauntlets, racquets and clubs from India. Also the statues of their favorite gods, Minerva, Goddess of Wisdom ; Mars, of Il ' ar, and Mercury, of Impudence. All the statues were appropriately carved in brass. The Sophomores, another tribe of the Alliance, but lately released from a serfdom imposed by the present Juniates, bold in their freedom, engaged with the Fraiches in almost daily battles. About this time Octavias Villiamus I. was elected Dictator. It was during his rule the struggles w r ith the Sophomores became most frequent. These dis- turbances went under the head of Hazing, the modus operandi of which, as far as can be ascertained from contemporaneous historians, consist in some dozen men being selected from among the Sophomores to invade the province of the Fraiches, and capture all beer, tobacco, and eatable articles found in their pos- session. In return for which they deliver sundry lectures, instructive and otherwise, also compelling their adversaries, or rather adversary, to perform certain acts and rites of hospitality, and to show his versatilities on various musical instruments and in declamation. The custom is not popular among the Fraiches. About this time a festival in honor of Ceres, Goddess of Agriculture, was held in a neighboring province. The four tribes collected at this place. 34 During the progress of the festival various attempts were made by them towards gaining the smiles and affections of the sisters and daughters belong- ing to the Germanic tribe. The Germans declared the rights of hospitality had been abused, and a conflict would have taken place but for fear of inter- vention from the Pratorian Guards, or Copes, who, however, as was their cus- tom, had safely hidden themselves at the first sign of an outbreak among the people. In the meanwhile the Fraiches progressed in their educational development, but not at the expense of their bodily health, which was sustained by horse- back exercises taken in connection with their studies. In the latter end of the rule of Octavius Villiamus I., the conflict between the two younger tribes found its end in a terrific battle. It arose through the Fraiches being denied the use of the cane, s to obtain which they were forced to contend in yearly battles. This elevating institution arose from the dis- eased mind of a former Senior, who had been expelled from the Alliance. In revenge, he instituted this custom. The opposing factions met on the principal hill of the city. At the first attack the phalanx of the Fraiches was broken and their standard was seized. All hope was now lost to the Fraiches, and many lay upon the ground rending their garments in despair. 3 Encouraged by the loud cries of the Juniates, they renewed the battle at the first gate of the city. Towards the ninth hour, the courage of the Sophomores having proved unavailing against the larger number of the Fraiches, they withdrew from the contest. After the conflict as many of both factions as were able to walk offered sacrifices to Bacchus at the temple 4 behind the public schools and gymnasium. Bacchus having no reputation to lose did not object to being held responsible for so disreputable a conflict. Octavius Villiamus I. being deposed, Juvenus Taylorus was proclaimed king. At the beginning of his reign a festival and games were held in honor of Asa Packer, the founder of the alliance. The auguries being unfavorable the games could not take place. They were ce ' ebrated on the next public holiday. Much friendly rivalry was shown betw. en the tribes. Among the Fraiches some laurels were taken One for the chariot race. One for swiftness of foot over two hundred and fifty paces. Another for a hurdle race, and one for high leaping A victory was obtained over the Sophomores in a Tug of War, 5 but the joy in the victory was shortened by a defeat from the yuniates. 1 A parallel case with this is found in Roman history. See Livy, P. I. History repeats itself. 2 Cane, an emblem of valor when carried by Fraiches, of age when carried by Sophomores. It consisted of a slim piece of wood bound with iron on one end and with a curiously wrought head of horn, bone, gold or silver. See Ethics of the Crutch and Toothpick, also ' Crook and Crozier. 3 Some historians believe the garments to have been torn by the Sophomores, others assert they had no garments to tear. 4 Some of these temples still remain. A common device found upon their walls is a represen- tation of a goat seated upon a tubular cask, with the inscription Cincinnati. The goat is probably significant of the one used in the sacrifices. The inscription refers of couise to Cincin- natus, the Roman General. 5 This contest consisted in the two opposing parties being half buried in the ground. A rope was then placed in their hands, The first one of the contestants able to excavate the other was declared victor, 35 At this time the census showed the number of the Fraiches to be seventy- eight, but history fails to record how many were lost during the hard winter with its trials and examinations, which season was especially unhealthy for the Fraiches in all past time. In the foregoing history of this strange and interesting people, some of their virtues may have been overlooked, some of their failings certainly have. But no people are perfect ; their war cry speaks for them: To be ; not to seem, and if this aim was missed, they hoped to seem to others to be as perfect as they personally and collectively considered themselves. Historian. 36 flN+flLLEG0 Y In a hall dwelt sisters three, All in love and amity — Eldest very prim and grave — Xext to dignity a slave; While the youngest of the three Took delight in gayety ; Sprightlier than the other two, Mirth did both her eyes bedew. And though natures so unlike Each harmonious chord did strike ; For by common interest bound Each for all affection found. But, alas ! There came a day, When in dust this concord lay, Trampled by a wicked sprite Who joys sad discord to incite. For one bright day in early fall. Plea for entrance to the hall Filed was by maid so young That they feared her giddy tongue. But when admitted on probation She assumed her lower station, Then began the sisters three To bewail their charity. Since when sister number two The stranger ' s artlessness did view, Cunning, specious, sympathy Gave she to the young lady. 37 But the sister next below Thought it good at once to show New acquaintances their place. And that betters they must face. Well ! Of treatment these two modes Lacked not each their sharper goads, And the guileless visitor Fared as with Inquisitor. The sister first in point of age Stood aloof — in learning sage ; ' T wouldn ' t do, here to meddle, Where impotent was she to settle. Thus they lived from day to day — The blushing stranger, sad to say, Unsuspecting in her trust In the second for the joust. But vain hatred would she bear To the younger of the pair ; Since the latter made her know That newcomer ' s rank is low. Thus all o ' er the world you ' ll find Mortals of a similar kind, Who just out of leading strings Must be taught the sterner things. And what an ingrate then is she, Who the kindness will not see Of one who strives to initiate And guide through her novitiate ! But cheer up, my sister fair ; If duly humble for a year, Thou shall too admitted be To the ring of mystic three. EPILOGUE. If any explanation seek Let them behold the f resides meek, And well observe the band of digs Called by the name of eighty-six. 38 - gECRETiSOCIETIES IN ORDER OF THEIR ESTABLISHMENT.

It means to those who are left behind a cessation of that intercourse with those who have now departed, which by its long continuance has endeared the members of the graduating class to their fellow-siudents. It means to those who have, after incessant toil, surmounted the well-nigh impassable obstacles incident to a course at Lehigh Uni- versity, the entrance upon the struggle of real life, which will, let us hope, bring to every member of the class honor and distinction in his respective walk. A certain lack of vim and flavor in this year ' s commencement exercises might have found ready and ample excuse in the very recent abatement of the small-pox scourge ; but we are rejoiced to say that in no way did this seem to mar the last token of respect to the graduating class. The Baccalaureate address was ably delivered in the University chapel by the Rt. Rev. Dr. Lay, Bishop of the diocese of Easton. The position of ora tor before the Alumni Association was filled by Lieutenant Commander, Gorringe, U. S. N., of obelisk fame, who agreeably entertained the audience with an account of some of the wonders of Ancient Egypt. The orators on commencement day were confronted by a large and appreciative audience. The estimate of the ability of the orators, which all had been led to entertain by reason of their previous scholarship, was by no means disappointed. The subjects were all handled with ability and force, and formed a fitting conclu- sion to the honorable career of the class. 47 -M THESIS lie. JUNE 21, 1882. Music. Reading of Scripture and Prayer.

Last May we failed completely at the Polo Grounds. It is true, our training was unavoidably interrupted for a pro- longed period when training counted its very most. There are other things which go to excuse our meteoric descent. The year before we took two first and one second prize, placing us just behind Columbia and Harvard. Were the other colleges astonished ? We venture to say, mightily. Were we? Even more so, perhaps. In point of numbers, Lehigh is a small college, hence the result was more than ex- traordinary : it was abnormal. A happy combination ot cir- cumstances not often to be found, and the possession of a group of excellent athletes, backed by their hard training, ex- plains it all. If last May we had taken a first prize, or even, perhaps, a second, the result would have been in every way gratifying, and Lehigh would have retained a high reputation for athletics. But to fail completely — it was too hard. It is to be hoped rhat the lesson will show us the value of hard practise and that we show how thoroughly we have taken the lesson to heart by training systematically and severely. By these means and by this only, aided by our new powerful auxiliaries, the Gym and the new grounds, may we hope next Spring to regain and thereafter to hold our proper position, and perhaps again to make the Polo Grounds ring with Lehigh ' s slogan upon the recurrence of an event similar to that of May, ' 81. 5i • EflIiIi ]aEEVI]¥6-i IiEpi6K:a] IIVE IW ■e- CW 7W.£ GROUNDS OF THE ASSOCIATION, South Bethlehem, Pa.

Long experience has made each officer an expert in his own department, but for the good of the Association any one of them will lend a helping hand (or mouth) to another who has made an extraordinary haul of adulterated liquids in his own line. Regular tours of inspection take place every Saturday night, but a special call on nights immediately following examinations, or even on election night, is never neglected. •6FFICEI G. G.

With what joy do we omit from this, our - ■ handiwork, soon to be numbered in your ranks, the usual page of growls and reproaches against our trustees for not providing ' us a suitable place in which to develop our muscle, but find ourselves able to insert instead one of congratulatory thanksgiving. For the long-promised gymnasium stands nearly finished before our eyes, and the work of completion is going on with a rapidity that seems to promise that the building will be ready for occupation in a few weeks at most. We regret that we are unable to furnish our readers with a view of the completed edifice, and in its place for the benefit of those who are interested in the matter, but whom circumstances will not permit lo visit this important addition to the number of our college buildings, we insert ashort description. The gymnasium is 79 feet long by 63 feet broad, and is built for the accom- modation of a college of 250 students. The walls are of Pottsdam sandstone, and it is then handsomely finished off in hardwood. Inside, it is modeled after the one at Harvard, with such improvements as could be suggested by Prof. Sargent, the gentleman in charge of the latter building. The ground floor contains a hall, bowling alleys, and a large, central room. The end of the latter is to be occupied by billiard and pool tables. On the second floor is the gymna- sium proper, where will be placed all the appliances necessary for the sym- metrical development of the body. These occupy the rest of the space to the roof, with the exception of that taken up by a track running around the side of the hall, about 12 feet from the floor. The building is to be completely finished inside with hard wood, and its walls are pierced with numerous win- dows. In every respect it realizes the highest hopes of those who looked for- ward with so much interest to its construction, and stands as another monu- ment of the benificence of the founder of the University and of the zeal and liberality of those who manage its affairs. 76 h fk7ft3kWUW 9kMi Commas and points they set exactly right.

In the land of the Pennites, which lieth to the West of that River which is called Delaware, dwells a people of the race of the Teutonites, and they are called Beth- lehemites, even after the name of the city wherein they dwell. And they make much iron and are very unclean, and they are famous even unto the uttermost ends of the earth for the multitude of swine habitations which they have builded in their city ; and the depth of noxious matter in the same is two cubits and a span, and great is the smell thereof. For they take no heed to the dwellings of their Swine; for they say: Wherefore should we do so? For as to the Swine his days are as grass. To-day he flourisheth and to-morrow he is cut down and sold for Pork ; and they care not if he have trichinae. Now there is near the habitation of the Bethlehemites, a place where the young men of the country are gathered together to be taught all manner of learning. And this place is a University. And the young men call them- selves Students. And they have much wisdom and are very discerning ; for they know a Julep from a Soda, and they can see a maiden of the tribe of Bethlehem even while she is yet afar off. And they are tough. Now it came to pass that about the third month of the year, when the sun grew warm and the winds blew, that the smell of the pigsty was spread over the land, and it was very bad. And the Bethlehemites, who are called by the young men Dutchmen, minded it not, but as to the Students when they passed a Swine habitation, they were as men mad, and they pawed the air. And even when they were afar off they held their noses and lifted up their voices and wept. And One came unto them and said Why do you weep ? and they groaned aloud, and said Because we are not Dutchmen. And the smell of the pigsty ascended even unto heaven, and the Lord was wroth at the Bethlehemites, and he said Lo, I will send a Pestilence upon them that they may see their sin and pull down their pigstys and become 79 cleanly. And it was even so. And the Pestilence descended and many died. And the Wise Men of the University were sore afraid, and they took counsel together how they might keep the young men of the place from the Pestilence. And there was in the council a prudent man, even William the Chemist, and he said Hearken unto me. Let the young men depart each one to his own home, that they may be safe. For he was once a Student and knew how it was himself. But they laughed him to scorn and said: Lo, we will get vaccinated, we and our men servants and o. r maid servants, and our oxen and our asses, and the Student that is within our gates ; and we will be safe. And they did so. And the chief of the Wise Men spake to the Students and said: Verily I say unto thee if thou be vaccinated, though a thousand fall at thy side and ten thousand at thy right hand, yet shall the Pestilence not come nigh thee. And they believed on him and went away contented. But on the morrow one William, the Son of Ed, a lover of the pipe, was smitten by the Pestilence. And they bore him away secretly and in the night that none might know the manner of his departure or that he was sick. But William, the Son of Ed, had dwelt in the house of a man whose name was Kline, and Kline was much in fear of sickness, and when they said unto him William, the Son of Ed, is sick of the Pestilence, his tongue clave to the roof of his mouth and his joints waxed weak as water and his knees smote together, for his weight was as that of Jumbo, and his muscles as wax, for they supported him not. And one James, even he who bore William away, said unto him, Be silent, and tell no one that William is sick. For no man must know of it. But he could not and he gave it away And the Students wagged their heads one to another and said, It is a cold day for William, and they said, Let us depart hence. And when they were gathered together to offer up prayer, the chief of the Wise Men spake unto them, and he spake as he never spake before, and said, Ye are safe. ' But they heeded him not and said one to another, This man knoweth not whereof he speaketh. For was not William vaccinated? But they said it not openly for fear of the Wise Men. And as they came forth, they lifted up their eyes and looked, and behold a man running. And he came and said, The son of James is smitten by the Pestilence, besides thirty others in divers places. And it 7vas enough, for a gr eat fear fell upon the young men and a panic seized them and they fled. And they were of two parties. And the one were believers on external pre- vention, but the other on internal preveniion. And those of the first party brought forth rubber coats and even gowns called Dusters, for they said, We will array ourselves in these garments, that if a Germ strike us, having no loothold, it may not endure and will fall by the wayside, and we shall be safe. But the most were of the second party und they said, Go to ! Ye are fools. We will diink Soda with many flies in it and Lemonade of which the most part is stick, and the Pestilence will not harm us. For we are tough. And there was a great sound of packing, and Charles, the slave of Kline, gained many shekels, for he bore the household goods of the young men to 80 the depot for a quarter a load. And all the Students shook the dust from off their feet and girded up their loins and departed from that place. And when they were gone the Wise Men met together and said: Verily they have departed and we are left. Therefore let us grant them a vacation from the kindness of our hearts that we may be respected of all men. And it was even so done. And they departed each one to his own home, and the places that knew them once knew them no more. And in all the University there was a great silence. 81 n Case of Mistaken Identity. — Young lady on the Eagle piazza seeing George W. pass, I know that must be a Freshman by his hat-ribbon. I could get along all right if it wasn ' t for that confounded Long Division. —Dickey. When a Senior gets balled up trying to give the college cheer, what are we coming to ! We have our eye on the Fresh who tries to flirt with Professors ' wives in public places. If he does not buy ten Epitomes we ' ll give him away. For once the tables are turned. Lafayette flunks a man whom Lehigh afterward receives with open arms. Ask Heiser about it. Why does Beverson have an antipathy to Griffin ? It seems to me its geitirg rather late for this hazing. — R-ddle. You must not ask Wells the best way to treat fair companions to soda- water. Robinson wants to know why the Freshmen should be heaped with insult. We pass. Who knows? The hand of retribution fell on Whitehead, Peet and Beverson. Lo, the wicked rlourisheth and the righteous are cut down. Nicholson still rabbits his planes in defiance of the dictionary. I ' ve only got a dollar ten, but I ' ll give you that. — Mac. Why did he change his mind ? 82 Edson ' s Coat-of-Arms. — A pipe rampant, a tobacco-bag couchant with a match passant, emblazoned on a field smoky. Scene in Claude?- ' s Store. — Sophomore : Nevermind waiting on the Freshy, Chris, gimme a package of cigarettes. Freshman : He isn ' t waiting on a Freshman, he ' s waiting on a gentleman. What is the natural conclusion ? Tolman and Thatcher say the ice cream they got at the Athletic hop made them sick. But they don ' t like to talk about it.

Pekin, China, Sept. 13th. ' 82. Editors of the Epitome : s I have just returned from a visit to a young friend, a Sophomore at the Imperial Hi Lee University, it has occurred to me that a short account of what I saw ihere, and of the general manner in which the Chinese conduct an institution of learning will be acceptable to those connected with American Universities. The fall term had just opened and my friend took me to the draughting room, where we found Professor Shodh Dhee. who was instructing a section of the Soph- omore class in projections. DisorJer seemed prevalent. Most of the men were chatting merrily on the benches, some were strolling about the room, while four had adjourned to a corner and were practising a favorite song, Bharny MkKoi ' (if I caught the name properly). In the midst of all this din and seemingly unmindful of the fact that two Sophs were engaged under his very nose in a hot dispute — indeed, almost to fisticuffs — as to whether Freshmen have souls or not, the professor was calmly demonstrat- ing in a sleepy tone of voice and at great length, that the projection of a square cannot be a circle, or that two right lines cannot intersect in three points (I am not positive as to which of the two he was proving). I was much surprised that such a state of things should be permitted in a college of its acknowledged character ; but as my friend appeared to take it as a maiter of course, I concluded that one of the pecuiiar customs which characterize the Chinese was being discovered to me. We next ascended the steps to the third floor and passed through the chapel into a hall on each side of which was a door. As I stepped towards the right hand one, my friend restrained me, saying, That is Mr. Ah Thoor ' s room, and I hardly think it would be best to call on him this morning as I was excused from recitation on the plea of sickness, and his forte is in asking questions hard to answer. He is used by the Faculty as a sort of anti-fat to 87 reduce the obesity of the Freshman class to a size suited to the limited capa- city of the rooms. But let ' s call on Professor Du Tehee — he ' s immensely popular among the fellows, especially among Sophomores. Entering the door opposite we were met by a gentleman of courtly appearance and genial manners, who invited us to be seated. He was engaged with another section of the Sophomore class, and immediately called upon a Mr. Jo Nes (who, as my friend informed me, was one of his crack men) to recite for our edification. Mr. Jo Nes vill you give me in Tcherman dee perfect rarity of the werb to a 7? Mr. J. began with conscious pride, Ich flunke, du flunkest. Oh-h-h ! Meester Jo Nes, how can y ou, cried the professor, fairly writhing in his chair, Seet down. Anxious to relieve him of his embarrassment we abruptly took our departure, ushered out by a succession of polish(ed) bows. Once in the hall, we were swept on by a horde of almond-eyed Freshmen, whose impetus carried us into the chapel, where Professor Fredh Rhikk gave instruction in Oratory. The professor declared that he was glad to get onto us, and proceeded to the recitation. The first on the list, a lonesome, unhappv-looking celestial, rose to declaim, Tell me I hate the bowl ? Hate is a feeble word. I loathe, abhor, my very soul By strong disgust is stirred Whene ' er I see, or hear, or tell Of the dark beverage of Hell. Very good, Mr. Dah Viss, remarked the professor, and turning to us, You see I always try to inculcate a wise morality. The next youth began, Ho, I in the theater always appear And poke peanut shells in some fair one ' s ear. ' ' At this a titter ran through the class. Thereupon Professor F. said, Anyone — bear this in mind Mr. Chung Leung Wong — who renders himself a nuisance will be promptly sat upon. That will do. I think a couple of you fellows will have to be bounced ; I don ' t intend to have any rackets in my room this term. Then addressing himself to us, They tried to whoop ' er up here last time ; I to ' d them to pull the string about ' steen times, but they wouldn ' t bite, so I gave a lot of ' em simplies. At this strange language from a Professor of Rhetoric I was somewhat staggered, but the remembrance that I was in China served to compose me. Espying an open door, we stepped into a small vestibule, and there beheld a portly professor holding in his hand a tomato can which, as he explained to the class, was the substitute for Regnault ' s Apparatus provided by the University. You see I introduce the thermometer, said he, to show the temperature of the bath, taking care not to catch the instrument by the bulb. You see the trick. This thermometer at the side gives the temperature of the air — you grasp the idea ? My eyes were attracted to the counter behind him, which was littered with a variety of odd-looking apparatus. There was a sar- dine-box, an old gridiron, a mouse-trap, a piece of hoop-skirt (evidently to demonstrate the elasticity of bodies), and several pairs of sadly-demoralized scales, besides many other articles which I did not recognize. I had heard that the Chinese were exceedingly ingenious in adapting the same- obje ct tn various purposes. The ocular evidence surpassed my wildest dreams. At this moment the professor pointed to a Melloni ' s Galvanometer, and I caught, — This is the University instrument; it is rather poor ; I have an exceptionally fine one of my own. In your practical work you will use this one. Attracted by fumes from below, in search of their origin, we descended to the first floor where Mr. Bhill Ee, Professor of Chemistry and Chinese Jug- gling, was engaged in the concoction of an everlasting pill which he thought would about go round the Fr-shman class. While showing us through the Laboratory he entertained us with the story of how he presented Dom Pedro with a fossil specimen. The story was new to me, but my friend did not seem to appreciate it. I looked at my watch — I had ten minutes to catch the Hong Kong train. Hastily bidding the professor and my friend adieu, and congratulating the latter on his happy selection of an Alma Mater, I departed, imbued with renewed interest in Chinese customs, and especially her educational institu- tions. Yours very truly, 89 ' t- -t ' s 3ING a song of Lehigh Of new instructors merry, They did get a little room Near the Seminars-.

Now let us take the thirty-five men in your class and (Groans from the class to the amazement of the inno- cent Professor.)

THE FIRST SHOE. | ONG ages ago, when people trod on Mother Earth with nature ' s cov- A ering only for their pedal extremities, a certain powerful monan h managed to stub his royal toe against the primeval rock. Enraged, he gave commandment for the globe to be covered with Leather. Courtiers, attend- ants, stared aghast. But there dwelt in that kingdom one Benkert, a genius, who evolved, from the depths of his brain, the Shoe, crude to be sure, but still the protoplasm from which has gradually emerged the most modern luxury of that kind. The grateful monarch esteemed nothing too good for the fortunate inventor. Honors were lavished upon him. To him and his heirs forever was to pertain the sole right of manufacturing and improving this benefaction. Strange as it may seem his line descends in unbroken succession until we find it under the name of BENKERT 8c Son, in the City of Brotherly Love. One can readily see that this firm possesses superior facilities for offering to the public the most comfortable, the most sensible, as well as the most economical Shoes in the land. 716 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, Pa. pAGLE fi AGLE TTOTEL.
