EDITORIAL EIGHTY-FOVR. A ■M £= Bdit0riwii+’S4 1 ' I HERE is, probably, no stage in life in which man is called upon to do more deeds of charity, and with less credit than during the SophtH more year of his college life. He is usually looked upon as some eagle-eyed monster prowling around with a dark lantern in search of an in- nocent Freshman, upon whom lie may wreak his vengeance. But far differ- ent his duties and desires. He seeks, from the time he enters upon his second year, to prove himself an aid to the class below him. It is to him thnt the newly-weaned Freshman looks for advice nnd protection; and it is front him alone tiint this advice and protection can be obtained. The Soph- omore performs his duty by keeping a fnithful watch over each Freshman, by seeing that he docs not go out alone nights ; by taking away from him all dangerous playthings, such as ennes, high hats and mustaches. Ho teaches him the beauties of Dame Nature, by carrying him down to the lake, and showing him the Seneca, made more beautiful by Luna’s gentle rays, and lets him feci the cooling influence of her waters, or shows to him the sublimity of a thunder storm at dead of night; and that none other. may be near to disturb nor molest bis musings, he lands him on some soli- tary rock by the water’s edge. Seldom are these kind acts appreciated; but, it Bnid to the credit of ’85, one of its numbers, very acute in his apprecia- tion of favors, gave a fine champagne supper to ’84, as a reward for their kindness towards him. Often docs the faithful Sophomore take himself away from his college duties to call upon the Freshman in his room nnd there soothe the heart of him so recently taken from his mother’s tender arms. How many times does he deprive himsnlf of an evening’s enjoyment, that he may cheer up the homesick Freshman, by telling him the college legends, how wicked the Juniors arc nnd bow much the Seniors know; or smoking with him in his room, content to sit upon the floor, while “ mine host ” has a royal seat upon the table. Such are the duties that fall upon the Sophomore, and it is in this charitable work that tie is engaged, while the Junior is being fas- 11 =.-............ .............,.......— ■

 EDITORIAL EIGHTF-FOUR. cinated with his pretty walt .er, or charmed at the dress-ball and the opera; and the Senior, in his gown and slippers. Is enjoying the dignity of his sit- uation, and looking forward, in blissful revery, to the beautiful sea, ujk h which he will soon launch liis well built bark. Yet amid all these pressing duties, the Sophomore’s heart is never heavy; but like one who ever performs his duty, his sleep is sweet and his heart clear. This at least has been the experience of Eighty-Four. As » class, our bosom justly swells with manly pride, as we look back over the year and a half that lias passed, since first we entered college. The scenes that have lieen enacted here, and the victories we have won, will ever be among the pleasant thoughts upon which our minds will love to dwell. Wherever college customs have called us, we have promptly responded. As students we have been in our places, and have passed through our first year’s duties in a most becoming manner: when, upon Field day, the bell ealed the athletes to their respective trials, Eighty-Four was ever there, and once having struck the turf she took the lead and kept it to the last; in the college rushes we met our enemies, and in the words of the Persian warrior be it said: “ . . . I have stood on many a field, . . . and I have fought with many a foe. Never was that field lost, or that foe saved.” We have yet over two years of college life to lead; and after we have passed from alma mater’s protection, and into the more active duties of life,, we shall ever be proud to be called a member of Eighty-Four. 18 «S’ -I «'.
