JUNIGR HISTGRY. GD HE class of '92 came into the world ofliterary organizations in Penn- G sylvania College on a stormy evening of September, 1888, an evening made stormy by an attempted interference of Sophs. Shades of the departed! Wliere are the rest of those who on that night made themselves memorable in council and action? Brenholtz, Bevan, Enich-where are they? Verily, they have been translated. Ofthat energetic band of thirty-seven, fourteen have fallen from the ranks. But while we mourn the lost, we rejoice no less in the character of our acquisi- tions and in our achievements. ' From the-first, the class has shown a vigorous spirit. Attest, ye Sophs ! and if further proof be needed, call in the Rev. '91. With the professors the class has always sustained the best relations. No volcanic eruption or earthquake shock has ever disturbed the equilib- rium of their peace,-except when Dr. B. took an undignified descent to the floor, and in his rage gave us the blame. But we have forgiven him, and as he has shown himself an experienced guide through the mazes of Livy, Ars Poetica and Juvenal, We feel repaid for retaining -him. 'Tis always better to Cforjgive than to receive. IQ2 has shown remarkable powers of endurance. She has endured almost everything except examinations in Calculus. She has shown herself insensible alike to heat and cold. For once upon a raw and gusty day, the troubled stove refusing to emit its heat, this hardy class proceeded to the German room, clad in seersucker coats and blazersg nor knew -that it was cold, though the Professor paraded the floor, nervously attempting to gen- erate heat by the motion of his feet and fingers. The class meanwhile read the review and tried to keep comfortable by means of fans, books and opened vests. Did I say she can't endure mathematical examinations? 'Twas a mis- take. Shall '92 claim the earth and leave out the only hope ofextendingher dominions? Ask B. or H. how much Cl or CS2 is required to permeate a room 2Ox I5 x 12, and by an instantaneous differentiation you will receive the correct result. These men do not pretend to mathematics either, be it known. Or ask H. or G. the quantity of shot or match-heads required to disturb a recitation, or the amount of rice necessary to a serenade. A moment will suffice for the calculation. Analytical Geometry, Surveying, even Calculus melt before her like wax or disappear like vapor before the mid-day sun. 27
