U37B GIFT OF Mr. G. W. Riegel L. U. ' 87 145419 PRESS OF BuRK A McFetridge, 306 AND 308 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia. -i Dedigajpion. - THIS EPITOME IS RESPECTFULLY DEDICATED TO THE HONORABLE BOARD OF TRUSTEES, ALUMNI, FACULTY AND STUDENTS OF LEHIGH UNIYERSITY, AND TO ANYONE ELSE WHO PURCHASES A COPY AT THE REASONABLE RATE OF TWENTY-FIVE CENTS. Biographies of the Epitome Editors. By Gagh Ojithei . Mr. Davis. — This prodigy of editorial wit is said to have shone tirst upon Bethlehem at a period previous to the memory of man. In speak- ing of that long-forgotten age, he says, When I was a Freshman. It is. rumored that, even before that era of the world ' s history, he taught the gallant youths of Swarthmore to run, and play tennis. He is at present engaged in organizing glee clubs, and in getting as little work as possible into ten hours a week. Owing to his strict adherence to everything English in the way of dress and manner, he is consulted as an authority upon such points. In college he is taking what is known as the Davis Special Course, which consists principally of English Literature, as a critic of which he soon intends to rival Macaulay. All students taking this course are on all occasions obliged to wear knickerbockers, an ulster and a Tam- o ' -Shanter, and to smoke a straight briar-wood pipe. He is remarkable for the sweetness and flexibility of his voice, which may be heard at any hour of the twenty-four in I never drink behind the bar, by a simple tension of the cord. He devotes his spare moments to writing very, very funny gags on the students and faculty for travelling theatrical troupes, which are inveigled into stopping at Bethlehem. As Chairman of the Epitome Com- mittee, he is certainly ornamental, if not useful. Chas. E. Clapp. — This somewhat corpulent piece of humanity was born somewhere in the Western Reserve, and sometime within the last quarter century. Concerning his boyhood we know very little, except that he early manifested a liking for the sciences, on one occasion having disinterred the remains of a deceased pet dog for the purpose of setting up its skeleton, and having thereby incurred the extreme displeasure of its former owners. His ardor, somewhat dampened by this unfortunate at- tempt, has never since been displayed to any great degree ; but, from the large number of college catalogues that adorn his walls, and likewise his daily receipt of the same, we judge that he still nourishes the hope of some day, when he can do so without molestation, prosecuting his researches to his heart ' s content. We are also told that, at home, he is quite an eques- trian, but of this we are unable to judge, all his riding here being done in strict privacy. From our own personal acquaintance with him, we can say that he is a great patron of public fetes and festivals, both within and out of doors, and that he never allows any to escape him — so long as he has a free pass. He is also quite an advocate of monopolies, and he has practi- cally shown this by monopolizing all the business of purchasing Dutch ponies, etc., for the class. Coming from a city of electric light, this place has always seemed rather dark to him, and he has occasionally found it convenient to have a candle light placed in his window to guide him home at night ; but this, it seems, has proved insufficient, and he has now pre- vailed upon the South Bethlehem authorities to place a large lamp directly in front of his residence. With all his faults, he has succeeded in implant- ing himself quite firmly in the hearts of his classmates, for they have honored him, not only by making him one of the editors of Ye Epitome, but by electing him president of his class. Mr. Howe was born, at a very early period of his existence, in Bris- tol, R. I. He is a direct descendant of Mark Antony, the celebrated poli- tican and stump speaker, and whose name, along with those of a few other generals, he bears. The first event of note in Mr. Howe ' s career occurred on the day of his baptism, when he was christened Mark Antony De Wolfe Howe, Jr. Many another weaker nature would have drooped under this burden ; but, though the effort to support the misanthropic character of three such war- like cognomens has embittered a naturally sunny nature, it has not destroyed that reputation for morality which stands as pure and high as his collars. The dissipations he encountered while in that gay and wicked Paris of America, Philadelphia, were counteracted by the culture and refinement of Reading, Pa., and an enforced sojourn with the present Junior Class for three months failed to contaminate him. At the University he shines as an instructor of music as well as a student. His introduction of Lala Ge La and O ' Brien with Knickerbockers has been a boon to the College Glee Club. He is noted more especially for the introduction of the Howe walking-stick, the style of which would have been more widely followed had his friends discovered the wood pile from which it was selected. Why he was elected on the Epitome Committee we are unable to ascertain, unless the class wished to turn his attention to lighter subjects than the numerous studies to which so much of his time is given, that we daily fear lest by a too vigorous application he should be unable to bear the strain, and we should lose him from our midst. Mr. Hazelton. — While I know nothing of the past history of Sim, I have made a slight acquaintance of some of the minor events in his life. His entrance into the class of ' 86 was not more noticeable than that of any other member; he moved in our midst as any other mortal would. But it was not always to be thus. As the days grew on apace, there came a gentle breeze from the City of Peanuts, wafting tidings that once more a chance would be given to the gentle student of Lehigh to mash the beautiful maids of that quaint Dutch town. Sim determined to go, and he went. On the marble doorstep of the mansion of one of the pretty Dutch maids sits Sim. And will you always love me? Soft and sweet as the gentle sighing of an eastern zephyr comes the answer, Yes, dear; but how about dat ice-gream? ' Tis chapel, Sim ' s seat is vacant; and, as the instructor marks him absent, he sighs, The Fair! Winter has passed. Spring has grown to Summer ; the June birds sing merrily jn the trees, and Sim departs for home, a bold Sophomore. And shall this horde of jFrt s imen carry canes ? Sim ' s awful voice thunders into the ears of ' 86. Sayre rises from his seat, and, with deep reverence, Thou hast said. Then Sim doth whoop her up; and hence- forth his name is brought forth from its obscurity. Sim has just said his say ; the members of the board of editors of The Epitome have longed to hear the end, and they have heard it. As they wend their way through the tangled paths leading from their sanctum, I lose sight of Sim ' s noble figure ; his after-life to me is blank. Mr. Surls. — W e are unprepared to give any remarkable facts re- lating to the early history of Mr. Surls. W e accordingly pass over his childhood days, and relate only those incidents connected with his college life. He appeared at Lehigh and registered from Beaver Falls. He entered with zeal upon the study of the habits of the lower animals. He seems, however, to have neglected and spurned the quadrupeds commonly loved by college students, and delighted himself with the serpent only. This proves conclusively that Mr. Surls is not an Irishman ; and while giving one of his free entertainments, and showing the redeeming qualities of his pets, he may be termed the Beauty and the Beast. For complete history and cognomen of each living species, call at the Mansion, where all questions will be satisfactorily answered. Mr. Surls takes a great interest in all class undertakings. He shows his spirit by entering the sports; not to win, but to benefit his Class. He has appeared in the Hare and Hounds, and has distinguished himself in several runs. He is generally employed upon some committee, and here also he is the right man in the right place. They say he will take the Wilbur. Time alone can tell. Richard Singmastkr Breixig, the interesting subject of this sketch was ushered into his present state of existence a number of years ago in the ancient and historic city of Breinigsville, Pa. The events of his early years have been carefully hidden, under the cloak of obscurity, from the gaze and admiration of the world. Yet, since his sojourn in the Lehigh Valley, he has grown into prominence with surprising rapidity. Though a very modest young man — his modesty amounting almost to bashfulness — he counts by the score his conquests over the more susceptible of the weaker sex. He is particularly fond of the study of astronomy, and may be seen, every Friday night, going out toward the mountain to obtain a view of Venus. As these visits often last the greater part of the night, it is safe to presume that Venus is always at home, awaiting the coming of her Adonis. He is noted for his sparkling wit, and his ample supply of original jokes, absorbed from old almanacs and the Texas Siftings. A short time ago, during an outbreak between two factions of the college alliance, Mr. B. was doing guard duty one night, when he was attacked by a brigand with a dagger. The villain was about to carry out his murderous design in spite of Mr. B. ' s eloquent and pathetic appeals for mercy, when his attention was diverted for an instant, and Mr. B., taking advantage of this opportu- nity, quickly withdrew himself and took refuge behind a friendly sapling, that stood some distance away. Subsequent events proved that his assailant was a perfectly harmless member of his own regiment, who, not being of sound mind, had wandered away from the camp, and imagined he was hunting Indians. His weapon was a screw-driver, the only weapon he was allowed to carry. Mr. V. H. Dean was born at Sterling, 111. He resided in the West until 1878, at which time he came to the Lehigh ' alley. In the class of ' 86, we have billiard fiends, drawing room fiends, and numerous other species of the fiend tribe, but Mr. D. can hardly be classed under any of these heads. His mind is an exceedingly well balanced one, and receives all branches of study with equal favor. He is a very sober fellow, never laughs, and his smile, — well, it is warranted sure death at twenty-five paces. Nobody ever got the better of Mr. D. until Sept. 21, 1883. At midnight, on that date, he was perambulat- ing in the Holy Land, and, when nearing the Jordan, he saw with terror a huge, horrible looking pirate rushing towards him with drawn dag- ger, of course Mr. D. immediately decided that Discretion is the better part of valor and acted accordingly. But the demon in human form pur- sued him, gaining at every step, in spite of the strenuous efforts put forth by Mr. D. Providence, however, interposed on his behalf; for, as the villain was about to strike him down, a posse of the Night Guard was met with, which put an end to further molestation, Mr. D. was subsequently informed that he had been pursued by Graham, who was playing soldier, (one of his many nursery amusements which still cling to him,) and that the supposed dagger was an innocent screw driver. Mr. W. p. T.wlor. — Written history is replete with exaggerations and biased opinions of past occurrences. To forsake these trodden paths of its writers, we availed ourselves of the aid to be received from the truthful contents of the family record. Whether Mr. Taylor ' s embrj ' onic years were engulfed in the usual trials and tribulations afflicting infancy or no, it is no difficult matter to ascertain. Passing on to his youth, it is seen that he seriously contemplated wearing the ministerial robes of the church at some indefinite period of the future. With this fixity of purpose in mind, he, by his general demeanor, grafted himself in the good opinion of his instruct- ors ; and advanced himself to the captaincy of the H.(owe ' s) D.(iocesan) S.(chool) company, as affording an excellent simile to the future leadership, in part, of the church militant. Later on, we see him at old Lehigh sowing wild oats. Here his epaulets won him the presidency of his class. From this position he drifted into the vice-presidency, committees, and finally became entangled in the meshes of the Epitome. As a scholar, he stands high in his class. In music — being numbered as one of the chapel choir, speaks for itself. In literature he surpasses him- self. His Skid, or the Tamaqua Coal-heaver is a book which can be safely placed in the hands of our son of the present day, without his hankering after patent hair-lifters and a stretch of prairie with a couple of hole-in-the-day ' s on it ; and with a safe feeling that he will seek nothing else than a cat-as-trophy. Personal appearance ? Our maidenly modesty does not permit us. While enjoying the charms of Jersey country life, the over-heard remark : O. Mautha, here ' s a d-i-ude ! explains all. E Pluribus Unum. — jreSsUr. Mr. Luckenbach, Class-Artist. — The noise with which Mr. Lucken- bach entered this world — for so he entered it — has well been kept up, even ' til now ; yet the most striking characteristic thus far displayed is a knack for drawing very funny pictures. As a Prep., he put Hogarth to shame; as a Freshman, Angelo ; and, finally, as a Soph., hisj fellow- classmates. There seems to be a diversity of opinion concerning the hero of this escapade. As each of these histories were handed in without reference to the other, we will have to leave the point for future historians to settle. — Ed. Much of the light shed upon what otherwise would have been the melancholy pages of our Epitome comes from his ready hand, throwing about enlightenment in very thunderbolts. His reputation as an artist came to us through many words, and of course we accepted the general judgment in appointing him as one of us. The letters L. U., ' 86, beautifully charcoaled upon the library steps, were all the circumstantial evidence we had of his genius. He now, for the first time, gives out to the world what his real worth is. We beg your indul- gence, gentle readers, as he has one nervous temper. When not engaged in putting his mind upon paper, board or wall, w ' e cannot say where he locates it. What is the import of that soft, sweet candor which plays about his beauteous face ? Is it the dreams of those Elysian fields where summers are eternal and Blicks no more revealed to the outer wall, or is it the absentmindedness caused by the turkey of which we learned he partook so heartily ? Dream on, fair brother ! It will not be long before the hard world will take its pin from out the lappel of its long coat, insert it in your humanity and tell you what you are. Dream, I say! Adieu, my Muse 1 He has not left this life, nor, until that departure takes place, can we presume to say what the great event of his being is, was or shall be. BOAr D OP ©P USTBBS. The Right Rev. M.

F there be any one who has the remotest idea that he can write an interesting class history, let him stand forth ! I fain would meet him. It would give me no end of pleasure to pat him on the back, to bor- row money from him and treat him like a king. For that man — if such there be — is a genius. He is a man who will one day command the respect of nations. Fair ones will long for him ; children cry for him ; and while he reforms the one he will teach the other, and the twentieth century will have her Plato. Granted, then, that Mr. Plato, of the future, is not in existence, or, if he is, he is still in bib and tucker, what, may I ask, is the poor historian to do who hasn ' t even a class supper to record? And it has been proved conclusively by my predecessor that a class history is naught without a glowing account of that gastronomic event. He cannot so far betray the confidence of his class as to manufacture facts out of whole cloth ; so he is compelled to stare an uneventful year in the face, until overcome by the greatness of his undertaking, he falls from the cliff of despair into the lake of idiocy, where, as Lord Byron expresses it, He first sunk to the bottom — like his works, But soon rose to the surface — like himself. The Class have kindly aided me to their utmost. Diaries have been placed at my disposal and assiduously studied ; but they all seem to be of the Got-up-washed-and-went-to-bed order. The only note of anything like a ripple of excitement I found in my own journal, which, by the way, will be published soon (posthumously, of course). It reads thus : — ' ' June 8th. — Went out surveying this afternoon. Played an excel- lent joke on the Prof. All the boys went into the brewery and spent the afternoon. I remained outside to watch the instruments. An excellent foundation for a romance of history, but that would carry me beyond the pale of my official duty. About that class supper. It is very strange indeed that ever since our Freshman year a grave and temperate look has come over the faces of A friend of the historian once had a father who became insane writing a history of the Smiih family in America. — Ed. 19 ' 84. Was it because of that brilliant speech for the cause of temperance, made at our Freshman supper by a youth who had taken more ginger ale than was consistent with laws moral and didactic ? This seems to be the only good reason. How vividly I can see him, even now at this late day, as he stood for a moment, with flushed cheeks and flashing eyes, and in- sisted upon translating in vino Veritas, an ass drunk ' s an ass, and then a collapse, and he disappeared under the mahogany ! Perhaps it was the condition of the preceptor, rather than the precept, which wrought the great change. And as a class supper without the wine which is red is no sup- per at all, in the eyes of the students in general, we went to bed without it, and awoke — minus the customary enlarged cranium and muddled brain — to find ourselves Seniors. And now it is that we begin to realize the great transformation ot mind and matter which three years of college life will accomplish. You may not know it, gentle peruser, but we too were verdant once upon a time ; and when we see, year by year, the Freshmen standing upon the corner, opposite the Sems., filling the air with dolorous sighs, and glancing upward tenderly, after the fashion of John Kelly looking for the second coming, we are filled with horror and remorse that we were once too green to have thought of such an excellent scheme, and too ungallant to have paid such a simple tribute of respect at the shrine of beauty. We were docile too, in the Sunday-school days of our college course, and stubborn withal, like unto a mule, though our kicking propensities did not develop until the end of last year, and we have been kicking ever since. But there are other changes, more salient than the mere wearing away of freshness. The gawky Freshman becomes the too daring Sophomore ; the daring Sopho- more, the blase. Junior; and when that ( (we Junior has grown into a plain, retiring Senior, he finds out for himself that there arc a few things he does not know. Oftentimes, too, there is a change for the worse. Look at Long- shanks there — the sly dog ! — and tell me if he in any way resembles the country-looking youth who entered with us three years ago. How odd he looked then, with his slouch hat and peculiar style of indispensables ! As he quaintly expressed it, they were cut high in the neck to save the expense of a vest, and only came to within three inches of his shoe-tops, because he had cut the bottoms off to save for patches. That he was the founder of the custom of wearing knickerbockers at Lehigh is established beyond a doubt. Now he is a dude of dudes ; wears a diamond pin, drinks whiskey cock- tails, and I will wager you what you dare that he is ashamed of his own father. Thus it is that, year by year, Omnia mutantur, et nos mutamur in illis. A misnomer. According to one of the best authorities on liquors, this is a concoction of red pepper and rain-water. — Ed. And, with this ver ' apt quotation from my favorite author, I will close this Prelude to the History of the Class of ' 84, from 1883 to 1884, by , my much esteemed successor in office, who, I understand, is already preparing to collect his thoughts for Class day, next June. As the Class are soon going to inspect the Brooklyn Bridge, he will have excellent material to work upon. Historian. ■ See Worcester ' s Unabridged, Foreign Words and Phrases. — En. :i -i.

This being, manifestly, an points in its history can be noted. epitoiut F it should be attempted to write out the history of Eighty-five in detail, the task would be one of considerable magni- tude. The reason for this is obvious. Eighty- five is, and always has been, a live class, in every sense of the word. It has made itself known to the people of Bethlehem in a number of strikin ' g ways. It has been proved, in various ways, that even the au- gust faculty take special note of its actions, and watch over it with jeal- only the most salient In respect to numbers, the Class has made a remarkable stand as compared with last year. During the year 1882, nearly fifty per cent, of the Class dropped out. During the past year the Class has lost only five men out of its thirty-three active members. It has gained several new men, so that the Class now numbers about as many members as it did one year ago. The Class has also made quite a respectable showing in its studies. Albeit the majority of its men saw their chances for the Valedictory snatched from their grasp by the examination in Qualitative Analysis, they fully re- deemed themselves in the General Geometry examination. An unusually large number, also, passed Calculus at the June examinations. The Class worked so indefatigably at their meteorological work that the authorities in Washington think seriously of retaining them to aid in the work of the Signal Service Department. Outside of its studies, the Class also acquitted itself in a manner which is highly commendable. It took unusually good care of Eighty-six. For instance, about the beginning of April, out of pure kindness, it superin- tended the preparations for Eighty-six ' s Class supper, even going so far as 25 standing the expense incurred in the printing of the posters announcing the event and the posting of tlie same in the public places of Bethlehem. At another time, when Eighty-six was desirous of having a Class photograph taken, Eighty-five kindly aided them— from the top of the tower with a mirror — causing a genial light to spread over the cleanly- washed faces of the Freshmen and the air to turn blue in the vicinity of the camera. In June, Eighty-five revived the time-honored custom known as Cre- mation. Olney ' s Calculus was held in the most extreme aversion, and was accordingly consigned to the depths. All who witnessed the parade or heard the speeches around the doomed author express their commenda- tion. The becoming suits, the decorum preserved, the songs, — all come in for a share of praise. During the summer most of the embryo Juniors belonging to the Class spent their time among the mountains or in the backwoods, as con- fidential advisers of the chief engineers of various corps. It was hard to come down to civilized life in September, and harder still to assume the new-born dignity which is supposed to form an inseparable part of a Junior ' s make-up. The Class struggled manfully to uphold its dignity. It is the opinion of most of the Class that they would have succeeded in at least acting the dignity part had it not been for the daily demoralization in the lower room of Christmas Hall. They couldn ' t stand that. The difficulty of sobering down could not be surmounted by one man, and he has left. He is now striving for honors in the cowboy line. The Class has finally calmed down. The first event of note during the present term was the visit of the Class to the Coplay Cement Works. Every member of the Class is con- versant with the methods of preparation, use and comparative strength of Anchor, Saylor ' s Portland and Improved Anchor Cement. It is rumored that the Class will soon make another tour of inspection, but the objective point has not yet been decided on. It is probably either Boston or Fried- ensville. In the Spring Sports, Eighty-five succeeded in taking five first prizes. In the Fall Sports, the Class also made a creditable showing, taking six of the fourteen first medals and two of the three second medals. Several men made records which will merit their entrance in next year ' s Intercollegiate Sports. In other athletic sports Eighty-five is not behind. It is a notable fact that in each of the first two runs of the Hare and Hounds, Eighty-five sent in the first and last man ; the first man in each case coming in ahead 26 of the hares. It will be argued by those jealous of the Class that these men did not run over the entire course; but of that nothing need be said. This account might be indefinitely lengthened, if everything con- cerning the Class ' s doings were written. Enough has been said, however, and the Class may now R. I. P., as it undoubtedly will, from its past record, until the Senior Historian next year rounds up its four years ' history. Historian. 27 Class Colors . ' ' m¥ Garnet and Silver. 01 doxBcn d)S slurju.

Priini pad, priiui bello, primi cordibus Factdtatis. f ' J , EVENTEEN years after the found- ing of the city, Maximus Pre III being consul, the citizens in past times known as Ffatc iu ' s were ad- mitted to the rank of Sop iomotrs, and a hundred emigrants and pro- vincials were taken into the Alliance to supply their place. The SopJio- iiion-s returned to winter quarters after the usual campaigns in the mountains and neighboring sea coasts, bearing with them numerous trophies of conquest, as locks of their victims ' hair, their pictures, and many effeminate decorations, which they hung in that part of the building dedicated to Venus and Terpsichore. The Fmic iu ' S were held as slaves and clients by the ; ; wr.r, and at the assembly of the coiniiia ccniwiata cast their shells as directed by their guardians. The Sophomores saw with uneasiness the subjugation of the newly-arrived citizens, and visited them to initiate them in the worship of the proper Gods, and to give them the opportunity to show their valor and independence. The Gods whom the Sophomores required the Fraichii ' S to propitiate were Bacchus and Melpomene. The sacrificial rites to Bacchusf consisted of a libation of wine, supplied by the Fraichies and consumed by the Sophomores ; to Melpomene, the simple chanting of a song, lauding the virtues of the Sophomores. Sometimes the song was accompanied with a dance and copious ablutions by the Fraichies. Had but one Fraichie re- fused to worship these strange Gods, and protected his hearth and Penates from the encroaching Sophomores, he would have gained more honor in the eyes of his opponents than the most liberal potion of wine or well-sung lyric could have bought for him. But, failing to protect themselves, they at last received aid from a source where much warning and little action had led all to believe no danger need be feared. The consul and senate interfered, and two of the Sophomores were banished. The Sophomores returned to the study of aqueducts and highways, and the Fraichies slept in peace- Since the founding of the city the two younger tribes had engaged in a yearly battle, known as the Cane proelia. This was a brutal contest, more These latter trophies were known as favors, and were evidently won from the Germanic tribes, as they are generally sp iken of as German favors. tOne Fraichie, by mistake, sacrificed to Apollo, the God of Medicine, insie.id of liacchus. The eflfect of the .iciion was felt by the Sopiioiuoiis. fitting the hired gladiators than equestrians. j The result of this contest decided whether the Fniichics mig ht or might not bear ih fasces. Whenever the Sophomores were assembled together, a few of their number spoke violently against this matter, declaring The cane proelia must be destroyed. They were held in great contempt by their com- panions. Nevertheless, the wisdom of their discourse struck many, who joined with them, until the tribe of the Sopkomores was divided. A meeting of all the tribe was called and collected in one place, where, after much had been said, the question was put to the vote, and, most of the shells falling to the lot of those who sought for peace, the downfall of the cane prolia was determined. The Fraichies were allowed to carry their fasces, and the Sophomores gained the title of priini pad. For this action the Ju7iiori ' s declared the Sophomores cowards, and men lacking in physical courage ; but, as the Jiuiiores had been defeated in every contest in which they had engaged with the Sophomores since their entrance to the Alliance, their conduct was not noticed, and was as natural as characteristic. In the public games sacred to the founder of the Alliance the Sophomores won seven of the sixteen events ; the other nine were divided among the Jujtiorcs and Seniores ; the Fraichies won nothing. After the games a triumphal procession was granted to the victorious Sophomores. With their Tug-of-War| team in advance, and bearing their trophies and badges, they advanced through the German territory, sound- ing their war-cry at the temple of the Vestal Virgins and at the School of Rhetoric and Philosophy, where the Stoic philosopher, Villiamus Ulrichus, saluted them from under his triumphal arch.|| It was owing to their pre- cedence in these contests that the .Sophomores gained the title, primi bello. In the contest known as the hares houndis — a custom transplanted from the Britons — the Sophomores had won three-fourths of the prizes offered, dating up to the time we last hear of them. The contest con- sisted in promising two slaves their liberty in case they could escape from the swiftest of foot among the different tribes. The slaves were tracked by their bleeding footprints; their followers were traced by the devastation they committed in the fields and gardens through which they passed, and by the bodies of those of their number who, overcome by sympathy for the fleeing slaves, had dropped by the roadside. The Sophomores were not only victors in feats of strength, but ex- celled in knowledge and scholarship. At the last census taken, before the departure of the tribes for the summer campaigns, the abilities of the Juniores in scholarship ranked 78, the Sophomores 55, the Fraichies who since then have become .Sophomores 92 ; and so it is that these Sophomores are again victors. t Equestrian is not used here in the modera sense of horseman. Only the indolent among the Sopliomores used horses. § This victory gave rise to the line, When Greek meets Greek then comes the Tug of War. ' This arch was afterwards destroyed ty the Goths and Vandals. If in this history only victories are recorded, it is because victories only came to the Sophomores. Great grood feeling existed between them. They were quick to help in the public affairs ; willing to undertake new things. If their history seems vain and boastful, the reader must not think the historian is a lawyer, showing only the best side for his clients, these Sophomores. They made the history ; he but writes it down. Historian. 35 3 iiwy. B«nk Bi l lla ?hiU Non schohv, sed z ' itcE. ► ' 8Zt CUiss Colors : Bronze and Sihier . Oppigbi s. E. DlVEN R. L . Whitehead E. E.

OT long ago I received a letter from a friend who is devoted to the study of an- thropology, and who is constantly travel- ling from one historically renowned place to another in search of relics. In this letter he tells me of a discovery of his which he deems a very important one. He says: In making an exca- vation at the site of the ancient city of Bethlehem, my spade struck something hard, which, on being brought to light, proved to be a beautiful casket of bronze and silver. With eager hands I broke the lock, and well was I rewarded for my trouble. I found within several rolls of parchment, covered with writing. Much of the writing, and I regret to say, the date, are illegible. I inclose a portion of the manuscript, hoping that you will publish it, and so let the world judge the value of my discovery. He sent me the following: — Y HISTORIE OF Y FRESHMAN CLASS. Y ' was in y Fall of y Yeare when y Freshmen met for y firste time as a class. And y class was verie stronge in numbers, for there wer five score six. And y Sophomore class numbered onlie about sixtie (LX) men. Now, y ' beinge y ' custom of y Sophomores to surprise Freshmen maltreat y ' sore wi. manie evil tricks and gags, y latter did determine to trie to prevent y brutalism called Hazing. So, on y I. nighte of y terme, they did collect in force at an appointed plaice y ' nighte they did march y streets of y = Bethlehems in a bodie, did carrie canes, did defie y Sophomores. And y was verie braive in y class, for y ' was well knowne to be a standing rule for y Sophomores to permit no Fresh- man to carrie a cane (if they colde help y ) until y Freshman had won y ' priviledge in a great fight w was called y cane rush. And nowe y time for y struggle was nearly come, and, knowing ys ye Freshmen did make preparations for y = event ; they did get reacy their war cloathes {w in most cases were verie well 7vore cloathes), they were verie expectante. 41 But, O ! what wa y ' ? ' ' Venit suinma dies et inebictabile teinpiis Dardanice. Fnimns Trojes ; fuit Ilium, et ingens gloria Teucroritmy Y = Sophomores, seeing ) ' = gret number y braverie of y Fresh- men, were afraide, and they said, We consider y cane rush an act un- becominge gentlemen, th ' ' we will not engage in y ' ; and y Freshmen maie carrie canes to y hart ' s contente, we will not molest y . Y actione on y part of y ' = Sophomores was verie unexpected, and did call forth manie remarks f™ y ' other classes concerninge y Moral courage of ' 86. By y time all hazing had ceased. Y = Facultie of y ' universitie had had occasion to Haul a hazer before y and to informe him y ' services were no longer required, either as a student or as an examiner. Y Sopho- mores had partaken of y wine of y guileless (?) Freshman, seemed satisfied. About y time y ' AUentown Faire tooke plaice, manie students attended, and did enjoy y™ muchly. And, in consequence of y same, gret was y liste of flunks on y succeedinge daie. And but a fewe dales later a number of y Freshmen did appear at y ' = reex. And well did they maintaine y honour of y Class. But, as y avalanche of loci, incommensurable ratios, maxima figures, ; minima figures, did advance, VII. of y candidates found y ' selves sinkinge in y ' mire, neither colde horses pull y out, they did flunk. On y morninge of Founder ' s Day all y students formed in fronte of y = library. marched to y ' theatre. There they did listen to an address by an eminente engineer, after w = ' ' they dispersed. Y afternoon was not verie interestinge for a Founder ' s Day, since y athletic contests had been postponed. And they were postponed manie times. W they did at laste taike plaice, two (II.) Freshmen onlie did com- pete. Hence, no gret glorie was achieved. But y Class did not intend to have so poor a recorde clinge to y™ ; therefore, wishinge to discover y ' best athletes, y ' was decided y ' a daie sholde be devoted to class sports, and a committee was appointed to Carrie out y design ; and y ' saide :— ' Quique pedum cursu valet, et qui viribus aiidax, Aiit jaciilo ijicedit melior Coibusque sagittis, Sen criido fidit piignani connnittcre cestu, Cuncti adsint. Y= was y ' = firste (I.) time y= system had been adopted by anie class. And y sports were a grande success, in them y ' Freshmen did show y ' they were maide of goode material, and y ' all they did need was train- inge, w ' = ' ' was to y time almost unknowne to y™. Y ' is to be admitted y ' y author of y= narrative is, like all other his- torians, somewhat biased in his opinions ; wh. ' ° ' ' ' y various defects of y= class may not have been mentioned, while y ' excellences mai have 42 been too brilliantly pictured. But no one who wishes for y goode of y class will mind y , and y opinions of others are of little weight. Nowe y Freshman class was y largest ever entered at Lehigh Uni- versity. And y average physical condition was as follows : — Strength 383.698 Developmente, .... 367.022 Generale Condition, .... +16.676 Y average age was about eighteen yeares. Y ' wolde taike quite a volume to containe a detailed historic of y classe of ' 87. In y simple narratione, w covers a spaice of but half a college terme, ther is no room for writing of y events of Hallowe ' en, etc. Nor is ther room to tell of y Grande Huckleberry Entertainment, or of manie other minor occurrences. Ye goode yt men do lives after ym ; Ye ev il is oft inierred in their bones. So let yt be wiih ' 87.

Our effortsTat the Intercollegiate Sports, last spring, were not crowned with success ; but, alas ! we suf- fered another complete defeat, and that, too, with very little to excuse it. To be sure, our gymnasium was not ' available until April, nor, indeed, were our new athletic grounds finished at all ; but still there was nothing to interrupt training, as in the previous year. The circumstances last year were no less favorable than those attending our victor ' in the spring of ' 8i, and yet we flunked com- pletely. The fault, we fear, laid only ' with our- selves, for, having the material, we neglected to cultivate it. The new impetus given to training during the pist term, together with the organization of Foot- Ball clubs, the establishment of Hare and Hounds, and the renewed interest manifested in Base Ball, lead us to hope that a new athletic era has begun with Lehigh, and, oh, that we may not be disap- pointed ! Our gymnasium — among the best in the land — is now in complete working order, and our excellent new grounds and track are likewise finished, and let us not neglect the facilities offered by them. Goaded on by two stinging defeats, we should train honestly and faithfully, with the deter- mination to reinstate our Alma Mater, and bring her once more among the first in athletics. 63 TH E - • thletic - Association FDUNDED laZS, PresidEnt, R P.

We, the unsalted babes of Lehigh Llniversity, lieing deprived of the watchful care of our nurses, and fcehng the necessity of some form of government which shall compensate us for this loss, and to secure to our- selves a continuance of the tender guidance of our adopted guardians, do make and estaVjlish this constitution. ARTICLE I. Section i. Each member shall be provided with a cane, which he shall carry on all auspicious occasions to give him a dignified appearance, and to prevent him from being mistaken for a Senior. ARTICLE II. Section i. It shall be the duty of each member, as a protection against the Sophomores, to provide himself with a regulation clasp-knife, which he shall use on the slightest provocation. Those who are not pro- ficient in the use of the weapon, can, by applying to Mr. Br — ch, receive instruction free of charge. Sec. 2. It shall be the duty of this body in all college meetings, to unanimously oppose every measure which shall advance the general inter- ests of the students, that we may win the esteem and applause of our adopted guardians. Sec. 3. Every member of this class shall respond promptly and cheerfully to every desire of the Juniors, and obey them gladly in all things, especially when they desire any bill-posting to be done or officers elected. Any member violating this section of the constitution shall be punished by immediate expulsion. 82 m %$, - PRESIDENT, Wm. H. Chandler, Ph. D. F. C. S. VICE-PRESIDENT, Barrv Searle. SECRETARY, A. S.

No longer may you symbolize Deity when the mere overcoat of a chestnut bespeaks the virtues of the board. Its quality of stick-to-it-iveness is well known. Never yet has it been sat upon without being felt. The Burr is a wonderful child, but — years old, yet poetical, critical, and occasionally witty. Our revered faculty, in its sedate contempt for the brainless articles which sometimes have their say, express its worth by the persecution it has at times subjected it to as the result of a free press. Righteously, too, may all honest, warm-hearted L. U. men observe with pride the tributes bestowed upon it by our college contemporaries. The Burr, with its monthly cackle has announced frequently another offspring of genius. For it never cackles without having laid its egg. W ' ith enough levity to make it readable, and sufficient gravity to ensure manliness, we may always look for it with pleasure. The Epitome, therefore, in family concern and solicitude, offers a sisterly congratulation, and under the apron of Alma Mater joins her cry of Words! Words! Words! 84 Lehigl:! Vaudeville Coiripariy.

Mr. Br-nch. — You cannot find Bowie Knife Ben and the lives of Buffalo Bill, Kit Carson, and the James Boys at the Library. Try at Criss ' s. Yes, you have got a bad eye. You ' re a branch of the old block. Mr. Fr-z-r. Yes, quite old enough to have a latch-key, quite. We can sympathize with you in your efforts to open the door with a button-hook, We ' ve been there ourselves. It was lemonade in our case, not a cruel parent. Mr. S-rle. — You ought to be able to hire a hall to dance in at moderate rates, and a Hall to dance with, too. Yes, your idea of going to a masque- rade ball as a pair of compasses is very neat. Mr. J-c-bs-n. — You can find the article you want, onions on ice, at Ranch ' s. It was the ice that made the day so chilly the last time you called there. Yes, you ' re Ye Sweete Thinge of the Seminary, no doubt. Mr. Gr-ss-rt. — Sorry, but our stock of monkeys is slim at present ; a great many have entered ' 87, but we can order you an e.xtra fifty. One pony would have saved those fifty monkeys you read about. No, you will never get the medal for development. You are too consumptive. Mr. Sh-w. — Rennigs is situated on New and Fourth Street. You can get Poker for Beginners at the Library. Your handwriting is quite good, judging by your weekly bulletins. Prof. Kl-ne. — Yes, we think with you the required hours are too few. Yes, vour scheme of commencing chapel at eight will tend to make you popular. No, it is not etiquette to speak to students you meet on the street. As a si.K days ' go-as-you-please you would probably get the belt. Mr. Colbv. — Yes, Lehigh is a pretty poor place. That ' s why so many of us leave it at the end of five years, and are snapped up by raih ' oad and iron companies. But considering that we will some day be indebted to it for our bread and butter, as you are now, we think it in better taste to keep our opinions secret. 91 Mr. Bairi). — As Colby ' s Me too, you are probably the next victim, but, — there, run along, we can ' t set good dogs on you. Mr. St- v-kt. — No, water-wheels do not run by steam. No, vespers are not held at ten in the morning. You are called Murray because you are such a jovial, sociable dog. Mr. P-rce. — We are delighted to hear that you like your new rooms. But four years in advance — you may take an ante-graduate course, you know. Better pay for five. No, we don ' t know how you got your nom de plume. You ' re over seven, aren ' t you ? Mr. J-nk-x. — The college does owe you a vote of thanks for introduc- ing Music in the Air, but then the music in the air always ceases when you commence. No, the rule of fifteen absences will not apply to you. No, we could not, conscientiously, call you a dude. A Freshm.ax. — Yes, the hieroglyphics on the corner of your French exercise book stands for O. K. Yes, your Tug of War team are still miss- ing, lost, or stolen. Mr. R.

Dramatis Persotia : Verdant Green, ' 87 ; Assistant Librarian; Post Graduate. Scene. — A Public Library; busts of pri::e-fighters, actors and popular preachers on pedestals, with gemeine autographs affixed. Walls papered luith rules attd regulations ; a few books scattered over lawer shelves. At C. B. an altar sacred to Minerva. As curtain rises the High Priest of Minerva is discovered reading The Fireside Companion. ' ' ( Verdant Green etiters, wipes his feet, closes door, remox ' es his hat and bows three times before the altar). V. G. — Please let me have Schliemann ' s Discovery of Troy. {Pause of twenty niinutes whilst High Priest reads closing chapters of Tommy Tucker ; or. The Freshman s Terror. ' ' ) V. G. — Sorr - to disturb you, but would you kindly get me Schliemann ' s Discovery of Troy ? {Pause of five minutes whilst High Priest fills out catalogue card for E?tglish as she is Spoke by Prof. B-rd). V. G. {After salamming thrice and touching his forehead to the ground.) Most potent, grave and learned seignor, would you spare me one precious moment of your august time, and procure your humble slave, Schliemann ' s Troy? Don ' t hurry, I beg. I intend taking a post-graduate course, so there is really no rush. {High Priest hands Verdant Green a scrap of paper, on which he writes the 7iame of book waiited, its author, publisher, number of book a7id alcove, his own name, class course and residence, religious denomination, fraternity or noti-fraternity, height, age, and development. High Priest signs this, and it is in tutn certified, and re-signed by Chief Librariati. High Priest gradually disappears among alcoves V. G. {Turni7ig to Post Graduate). — Why is it, sir, that the statue of swift Mercury is placed over this altar where inactivity reigns supreme ? Post Grad. — That is not Mercury, my young friend, but John L. Sullivan, to whose honor that statue was dedicated as the presiding genius of this alcove where the celebrated prize-fight took place between Milder and East, Library rules to govern contest, and Tug Wilson. ' 85, the referee. V. G. — How interesting. And these other busts on the floor ? Post Grad. — O, they are the wooden dummies formerly used as assist- ants in the Library, since petrified into stone. High Priest {Returning without book). — Did you mean Troy, New York ? ( Verdant Green faints. Slow music.) (Curtain.) 95 UOhl OQb ©ANGBf B. Drama is Persona: Editors of the Lehigh Burr. Scene: — Interior of Sanctum richly furnished ivitli Turk is Ji rugs, can- delabra, mahogany furniture and bric-a-brac. Autograph albums from ad- miring fiends scattered among the exchanges. Managing Ed. — Well, gentlemen {vaivns) I think we may congratulate ourselves on that last number [yaivns ' ). Only five subscribers have with- drawn on account of it. We got it out within ten days of the regular time, and with only twenty-four typographical errors. ( Yaivns . Anything to report ? Ye Sweete Thinge, c. — I take pleasure in reporting a very heavy run on the extra copies. In fact, four were sold to a farmer, but as he had only seen the cover, and believed the publication to be a flower and seed catalogue, they were returned on our hands. Fighting Ed. — I must report that, owing to an epigram of the local editor, I have had to act professionally towards the whole Junior Class ; that 1 am now quite recovered, and have handed the doctor ' s bill to the Bis. Ed. Corresp ' g Ed. — Apropos, I would like to read a round robin from the Junior Class, forbidding us to mention them in future, and stating their in- tention of forbidding the Freshmen subscribing. They also deny the honor of stopping the rush which we gave them through a clerical error, and con- sider it a base misrepresentation of the one class whose past conduct would least lead one to suppose them capable of such a benefit to the University. Senior E,t .— (Arming himself with an extra heaiy copy of the Lafay- ette fournal). — I have here a little contribution concerning Conway Maur- (Max falls i i coui ' ulsions, but rei ' ii ' es on hearing it is quite short — as short as R-df-rd ' s coat-tails, or as short as Sh- v generally is.) Senior Ed. — It is called J -c l7 ' -ne ' s Latest ; or, The Tale of a Stud. ( While he is readitig, the Eds. keep alive by going to sleep. Max stuffs his ears with cotton, the Junior Ed. sips ginger ale, and Ye Sweete Thinge makes out bills for unpaid subscriptions Did you ever hear of my adven- ture in Reading? asked Conway Maur, as he reached for the tobacco. Well, the time was Summer, the place a pic-nic. Being Summer I had dis- carded my vest, and shone resplendent with wlwte cambric and a single stud, the joint products of my unpaid washerwoman and a prize package. I was walking with Miss Van Sant, a very swell girl, old Dutch family, Penn- sylvania Dutch. In her shell-like ear I noticed an ear-ring a size smaller than my stud, but similar in design. We were somehow separated from the others, sitting under an elm. I was also sitting on an ant-hill. In a pensive mood I begged an ear-ring. Got it. The stud and ear-ring changed places. The hours crept on. So did the ants. I moved an adjournment. Carried. We reached the heartless throng, and tried to look as if we had gone after flowers and forgotten them. Some one smiled. The smile grew to a gen- eral giggle, and when her brother pointing at my shirt front, shouted, ' He ' s got on my sister ' s jewelry, ' discovered I had forgotten to change the ornaments. Terrilsle grind, wasn ' t it ? Pass the tobacco ? Ma. . — That ' s not so bad — not so bad as usual. But why is it called M-cIlv-ne ' s Latest ? Shorting Ed. — Perhaps it ' s founded on fact. M.AX. — Perhaps. Let ' s ask M-cIlv-ne. (Cu rtain.) 97 ©UITION Fr EB. A TRAGEDY IX OXF. ACT. Dramatis Persona : Verdant Green, ' 87 ; R. P. L., The Vice-President of the College; R.

SCEN E. — Roo7n of Verdant Green, furnished -with second-hand ftirniture of a departed sophomore, a photograph of Lillian Russell, a roster and one of Hosford ' s calendars. Knocks are heard without. Verdatit Green hastily barricades the door. V. G. — Who ' s there ?. If you ' re any of the gentlemen of ' 86, I am not in. The freshman you want rooms upstairs. He ' s out at present. Can ' t you come around some other evening, say, next week or next year? Voice of R. P. L. {zuithout.) — I am a senior, Mr. Green. Open the door, please. Verdant Green opens the door and admits the Vice-President. ' V.-pRES. — Thought it was the hazers, eh ? They wouldn ' t tackle a man like _you, Mr. Green. They want something softer than an athlete. V. G. — O ! I ' m no athlete. Don ' t care for that sort of thing. V. Pres. — Nonsense ! ( Confidentially). H-rr-ck told me you were good for three firsts at least. Speaking of athletes, how much are you going to give towards the new track ? ( Carelessly p7-oduces note-book). V. G. — A dollar fifty ; isn ' t that it ? V. Pres. — Ye-es, but if you subscribe five dollars you are entitled to a free seat on the grand stand throughout your college term. ( Verdant Green hands 07 ' er the V, and Vice-President exit). V. G. {soliloquising). — 1 wonder if the silver shepherd ' s crook he holds before him so proudly has anything to do with fleece ? {Knock is heard without). V. G. admits Ye Sweete Thing of ye B-rr Office. R. W. — Evening. Got your cash ready for ye B-rr. If it is not paid in before next issue you will be called before the faculty, you know. The subscription is one dollar, or three dollars if you want our supplement with your name in full ; for five dollars you are entitled to the use of our exchanges in the library. Better take the five dollar lot. They come high like H-w- ' s collars, but we must have ' em. All prizes, no blanks. {Pockefs V). Remember me to sister when you write home. Ta-ta. {Exit.) (Knock without. Enter Dilapidated Sophomore, carrying an armful of French and German readers). V. G. — If you want to sell me any books you can ' t do it. I ' ve been sold enough already. Besides, I ' ve all the French and German readers the register calls for. D. S. {Smiling sadly). — These are the ones it does not call for. The purchase of these books accounts for my threadbare appearance. These are the ones warranted without keys — I have the keys, by the way. You will learn too soon that the new readers are as frequent as H-rr-ck ' s announcements. You ' d better take them before I dispose of them at Criss ' s and return with minus one-third their number, for like the Sybelline books, there is no reduction on taking a quantity. ( V. G. meditates, hesitates and is lost. The Dilapidated Sophomore departs with his V). V. G. {soliloquizes). — If I wait much longer I wont have enough to support me until the re-examination. I ' d better go to Harvard. 99 gUOiPATIONS. ■ Cur ;t be the verse, how well soe ' er it flmv, That tends to make one honest man my foe.

D., President of Lehigh University, and any of the Professors behmging to the Faeulty of Lehigh University. IN this School attention is given exclusively to the requirements for admission to Lehigh University. Its course is finished when these have been thoroughly mastered. The Principal is aided in his work by five assistalits, who, each having a special department, are able to make their instruction thorough, practical and satisfactory. During the past four years one hundred and one of our scholars have been admitted to the University in full standing. One advantage which this School has over most other preparatory schools is, that it is near the University, and continually receives from President and Professors such influences and suggestions as help to make the preparatory instruction most thorough and effective. A limited number of pupils will be taken as boarders at the house of the Principal. For the school year beginning September, 1883, and closing with the examina- tion for admission to Lehigh University in June, 1884 — Tuition without Board, - - $100.00 Board and Tifition, - - - 350.00 One-third to be paid in advance at the opening of each term.
