The Eighties The classes of the eighties have sometimes been called the connecting link between the older and the newer University, and we are quite content with the title and our position between the probably arboreal of the seventies and the homo sapiens of today. When we started in the battalion consisted of but three small companies clothed in the brigadier general ' s uniform described by Colonel Edwards the frock coat and the slouch hat. The brass buttons of this uniform were fastened on with loops, the design being to allow the substitution of cloth buttons when the wearer, not on military duty, wished to use the coat as Sunday best. In those days the needs of the impecunious student were considered, and the elaborate class assess- ments and society dues of today were unknown. Even the officers ' insignia were movable silver stars, and I well remember the flutter occasioned by General Welcker ' s order that these should be worn on the collar. Confederate fashion, rather than on the shoulder. The protest was successful, and the order withdrawn. Athletics in those days were very simple. The only gymnasium was the open air. and the only apparatus was a couple of cannon balls. I remember well an impromptu track meet arranged when Moody of ' 80 pitted himself against the redoubtable Sherrod Williams of ' 79 in a hundred-yard dash past the Le Conte Oak, and the murmurs of the co-eds over the scantiness of attire worn by the runners. Football, if it so can be called, was by twenties when it was not by whole classes, and the famous game between ' 80 and ' 81 ended in a class rush over the possession of the ball. Eighty had won the game and was entitled to the ball, when fleet- footed Jim McGillivray ( ' 81) got possession of it and started off down Ellsworth Street from the field, which was where the Pacific Theological School now stands.
