' 99 IN ATHLETICS. It is impossible for an outsider to form any true concep- tion of the position held by a class in college until he is in possession of all the facts connected with the class The general history of ' 99 has been written, but in this article we wish to give a more minute account of her successes and her failures in the realm of college sports. When a boy comes to college he is supposed to be able to take care of himself; to know a few Latin and Greek constructions, to doff his hat to the Professors; but above all he must know the first rudiments of base ball or he is branded as having issued from the ark, while the school from which he came is at once associated with the fair Garden where cuts and kicks and broken bones were never known. The members of ' 99 come and brought with them the required essentials. A week had hardly passed before some of our boys were willing to test their skill, on the diamond, against the unknown ability of the upper classmen.

Our Saviour walked on the waves, but left thereon no impress of his feet ; nor can we find there a trace of the love of God as it shines in the face of Jesus Christ. We were eight days out of sight of land. Water, water everywhere ! Ocean to the right of us, ocean to the left of us, ocean in front of us, and ocean behind us, with two or three miles of ocean under us. But our good ship, the Lucania bore us over the sea like a conqueror, and we landed safe, at last. U U U
