 more be proud of the wine and light blue colors as distinctive badges of honor? Only a year ago Geneva and Hobart College witnessed the fearful exhibition of their prowess ; then they went into the cane-rush ” green and fresh (?) but they “got there just tiie same.’ By that they won for themselves an enduring fame. This year they took the “cane” away from the Freshmen in four minutes. It is easier to add to a great reputation than to get it. The class has advanced from glory to glory until it recogni .es no superior in physical strength, intellectual power, and moral recti- tude in their grandest exercise. One memorable evening the Freshmen had their meeting at the “ Kirkwood ; before they assembled, however, the secret was made public to the Sophomores ; consequently there was a collis- ion after it was over at the Park Place. Collar-buttons, cuff-but- tons, hats. Freshmen, omnibus and all were scattered in every direc- tion in short notice. This was the result of the guileless and unsophisticated information of a young Freshman lad, whose baby voice, joyous and innocent, must have rung like holiday music a short time since to the ears of his old nurse. A fresh notice summoned I lie youngsters to convene again ; they were not all present, but a timid portion absented themselves upon some pretense or another ; hence they were unable to make a quorum and adjourned, whereupon the “ mighty Sophs.” placed them gently (?) outside the door and sent them to supper. A goodly number of new members were initiated into tire mys- teries of the A. . society in due form. We have done our duty. In the coming centuries, ages, jnilleui- utns, and saons— •• The young shall listen while the old men tell The deeds of thesclhnt earned renown so well. This is the fitting reward of men whose prominent characteris- tics indicate effort, struggle, ami victory. We feel sure that the hand of time will dip the pen in the glowing sun and indelibly in- scribe the glories of ’91. in blazing light upon the pages of eter- nal history. 26 Historian.
