V IND FRIENDS: We come to you all with a friendly greet- ing, and it would, perhaps, be proper just here to offer a few words of explanation Why we, as tt humble ii sophomores, should take upon ourselves what, in most other colleges, is the pleas- ure, as well as privilege, of tt grave and reverend. seniors. Since the untimely death of the 01d uUniversity Clarionf we have not, at Miami, had a publication which was a true exponent of the institution, 01' gave to the public any just idea of our college life as z't 2's. The need of such a publication has long been felt by all, and this feeling rose to such a hight that it was evident some one must move. The last few days of tt Noble Sixty-nine were fast drawing to a close, and they being more interested in their commencement preparations and their matrimonial prospects, very magnanimously resigned the privilege. We would not for a moment suspect the good intentions of tt Seventy; but already having charge of tt The Student? and being a class not noted for its energy in carrying out even well established customs, to say nothing of new ones, they declined the honor. So it i We are sorry to naturally fell to the lot of gallant tt Seventy-onef say that even tt Seventy-one was for once divided. After spending some time in the preparation of the tt Recensz'of we now present to .- 6 THE MIA 311 REOENSIO. .I....-...............-.-..-..................-.-..............................-.-..-.....---.--..-.....-........$-.....-......-. you the results of our editorial labors with diffidence, and' having en- deavored to give a true picture of the undergraduate doings of Miami, we have but one request to make: tt That you ill be to its faults a little blind, And to its merits very, very kind? tt Great souls, by instinct, to each other turn, Demand alliance, and in friendship burn. YE DIGNIFIED SENIORS: Who, with manly brows and classic fore- heads, are now acting the last scene of your college life; you, who witnessed us put on the shining robe of college life, and assisted in binding its beautiful folds around us; to you we come with respectful greeting. It does not seem possible that you are so soon to leave us; you whose footprints we have followed for two long years; you who have given us encouragement when all before us was dark and misty, and the huge barriers of Latin and Greek seemed almost impregnable. Well and justly has the name irrepressible been given to you, and wisely have you labored to sustain this high sounding title; even in our daily amusements, such as base hall, chess, and velocip'ede riding, you have always proved yourselves an honor to your title, rather than your title an honor to you. While we commend this appellation of dignity to all succeeding classes, we would have them bear in mind that this is not at all a title, unless they have the itpublic spii-iti, which so signally marked and assisted you in gaining this appellation. Public spirit may Le termed the great stepping-stone to all true great- ness. Class feeling, and this in a brotherly disposition, must be man- ifested in all classes where greatness is the aiming point. THIS we 0 a o n ' believe to have been the Instrument With WlllCll you have reached your high standing. May success and happiness continue with you throughout life. Receive the ttRecensz'oii in as kindly a spirit as you have re- ceived us. THE MIAMI REOENSIO. 7 MOST WORTHY JUNIORS: We come with a greeting now to you. And as you are about to step into the high position of seniors, we would bid you stop ere you make the step, and consider the position you now fill, and the one you are soon to fill. For this far in your course you have been closely watched by your colleagues tin which course you have been designated as tt sticks by some unfeeling and evil-minded students, but which we can not believey. And they would fain have you go on advancing, that those beneath you may strive to advance, inspired by your worthy example; and thus always having you as an incentive before them, they too may make rapid strides up the hill of science. Your influence can be exerted over a wide sphere. Use it rightly, and yours will be the reward; which will be to you a copious fountain of happiness. You will have left deep footprints in the sands of time; and noble actions, that, we see- ing, may imitate. Your preferment in the sciences is very marked. Calculus seems to have succumbed under your repeated attacks. In the base ball arena your class nine has not sustained its reputation. But. with the dawning of the new era, we predict that excelsior will be your motto. And, as in all things, the class of tt Seventyi' will come off bearing the palm. Again we greet you, and may prosperity always attend ttSeventy. It is a source of much pleasure that we are permitted to extend our greeting to the tt wry respectable h class of tt Seventy-one. The fact that we ourselves have the good fortune to belong to this Muell- behavedh class mayllead some to believe that we ascribe to you undue credit. But, although we are personally interested, we assure them that from our limited space many of your virtues must remain untold. The high esteem with which you are held in the affections of your in- structors has been remarked by many, and your unceasing activity in the class room, as well as elsewhere, has distinguished you, as a class, above all others. And it is due to your unquestionable integ rity and peaceful habits that you have been able to sustain various attacks, without manifesting the least concern for your well-estab- lished reputation. Being yet sophomores, although you do not man- ifest that anxiety for your future prospects so worthy of seniors, yet ,e W 8 THE MIA MI REOENSIO. the prqference shown you by the nfair sexy and the boldness with which you receive it, might well be envied by juniors. As the past career of tt Seventy-onelt has been one of prosperity, in which its members have proved themselves equal to every emergency, so we hope that the future may have in store for you much of lifels pleas- ures, and may crown all your labors with success. DEAR. FRESHl--1t is with feelings of paternal care that we would lay our hands gently upon your heads, and give to you a few words of advice. An evil star seemed to watch over the commencement of your col- lege course; but time has effuced all its bad effects, and now you stand forth in glorious freshness, a class of promising ttboysf ever ready for the ball and bat, the velocipede, or the boxing-glove, ex- celling in music, in scholarship-tttime will tellfl but, if we should take the testimony of those who Might to know, no such class ever entered Miami. We have not here, as in some of our Eastern colleges, a sys- tem of tthazingllmalthough there are still a few remnants of the ttsquee-zeea left-so that you may spend your youthful days without fear of midnight calls from bands of 'uscully sophomores, intent upon spending the evening, and enjoying with you a social smoke, or politely escorting you to a remote corner of the campus, and there demon- strating the elfects of u battering ram upon the trunk of some Sturdy oak. Gumbol on, little lambs, in your fields of innocence, for in a. few short months all these transitory joys will have passed away, and you will have begun to ascend the mountain side, where you will lay away your lamlfs wool to receive, not a tt sheepts skin, but a wolfls hide. When you shall have entered the tempestuous regions of sophomore years, take our advice, and follow the upward path of v v , ' tt hm onty -ouo,ll but her wayward wanderings shun, although tt To lives, the fairest, best, Certain frailties give u zest, Which we can not wish they were without; 80, the follies which are rife In this, our college life, Are hut shadows on the onward stream of thought. THE AIIAMI REOENSIO. Not producing any harm, They serve to cast a charm 011 the progress of the'student to his goal; And, by each peculiar shade, In the different stages made, Showing the ever-onward nmrching 0f the soul. A11 honor to the band, Now nearly through the land, Of mental labor, training, and reward; May they ever act and feel Worthy any foemmfs Steel, Striking bravely for their country and the Lord. And as class after class Through college portals pass, T0 the busy, bustling world that lies before; Like the billows 0f the ocean, 1n quick, successive motion, Crowding, ever onward, to the Shore. May each take its place With a fairer, nobler grace Fit to know, and supply their 11ati011,S needs, And the incense sweeter burn In Miamits altar urn, With the perfume of her childrelfs noble deeds?
