 KENYON Reveille. Jcrngon PLFbFillr. FoTiiteT et I eote. PUBLISHED UNDER THE AUSPICES OF THE ©ms© m ■©©, EDITORS. SAMUEL If. BOYER, M. C. SHOEMAKER, CIIAS. D. SfGUFKEY, EDWIN L, STANTON. iMtcrkl Okcb more does our little sheet make its annual np pea ranee among the retired and tranquil scenes of our college life. A feeling akin to sadness steals over us ns we reflect on the many changes which have transpired since the Reveille last greeted the eyes of Kenyon's sons. The Class of ’62 has left us, and its members are scattered throughout the land, some absorbed in the busy avocations of peace, and others engaged in the sterner realities of martial life. Possessing to the extent that they did the confidence and esteem of their companions, their departure leaves a void which will not easily be filled. The war-cloud which a year ago hung threateningly over our beloved country has not yet been dispelled, and we miss from our midst the familiar faces of many noble young men who have abandoned the calm pursuit of knowledge to peril their lives iu the defense of their nation. Of those of our own Cine who have devoted themselves to the sacred cause of liberty, one has been called upon to seal his patriotism with his death. We refer lo Lieutenant Charles Thimble, who fell at the second battle of Manassas. Thus has another true-hearted patriot been sacrificed to the fiendish spirit of discord and rebellion. Kenyon has nobly done her duty during the present struggle, and will, if necessary, make still greater sacrifices for the preservation of the government under which she has enjoyed such long-continued prosperity. The monotony of the Term has thus far been relieved by a much greater degree of variety and excitement than usual, in fact we have at limes seemed rather to be engaged in the busy scenes of active life than surrounded by the retirement of scholarly pursuits. The collegiate year commenced ns usual. The Fredimcn, though fuw in numbers, are characterized by those .-terling qualities which will enable them to do honor in their Class and to the Institution. The electioneering for our Literary Societies was, owing to the small number of the candidates, unusually brisk and keen, and served to impress the victims with an unusually lively appreciation of the disinterested and friendly character of the upper classes. After the initiations, however, wc were fast, subsiding into our usual Imm-drnm routine, when we were aroused by the call of the Governor for iroops to protect the border from the threatened attack of the rebnls. ’1 his drew away to the defense of the Queen City the majority of our number, under the command of our gallant and accomplished Latin Professor, all burning with military ardor and longing after distinction. Space will not permit us to dwell upon our brief and bloodless campaign, our eventful journey to Cincinnati and afterward to our camp at North Rend, on the shore of the beautiful Ohio, our Hhort experience of camp fare and soldier duties, the pleasant interlude of our short visit to Clifton, and our final safe return to our Alma Mater with colors flying and “ without loss.' The able and unremitting care of our officers, and especially of our respected Professor, contributed greatly to our comfort and enjoyment. The many p easing incidents of « ur expedition, and principally the good-fellowship and kind hospitality of our Clifton comrades, wi 1 ever be fondly cherished in our memories. To the ladiesof Clifton we would, in particular, return our most .sincere and hearty thanks for I heir generous and untiring efforts to promote our comfort during our visit. Such kindness to unknown and rough-looking “squirrel hunters ' while it can never be re-pai i, will, at least, never be forgotten. We cnonot leave the hubject without paying a sincere, though ntces-arily imperfect, tribute to the crowning incident of our military experience, We refer lo the handsome entertainment provided for us by the fair ones of Gantbter, on the evening of our return. The change from camp fare to such delicacies as there graced the festal board was in itself exceedingly grateful. Rut the event was chiefly rendered delightful and memorable by the presence of the fair donors themselves, and the assurance thus afforded that while endeavoring to perform our duty we had not been forgotten. To us it will long be a source of grateful remembrance, furnishing additional proof that the ladies of America will ever be found ready at their country’s appeal. There have not. been wanting sources of excitement nearer home. The attempt, fortunately unsuccessful, to fire the College building, and the subsequent nightly guard over the promises, have served to keep ub aroused and ready for an emergency. The draft, which has proved so fruitful a source of inconvenience to the community, has not been unattended with evil consequences to the Gambler public. By it wo have been deprived of a valuable citizen, a diminutive gentleman from “ HingUnd,” who had for a long time presided with ability over the Kenyon tonsurial department. He went as a substitute for a drafted man, but after receiving the government bounty as a volunteer for three years, and his pay as a substitute, unfortunately missed his way, and instead of reaching Uncle Sam's camp, found himself on board a i vessel bound for the Mother country. We suppose he desired to give a practical proof of his confidence in the doctrine that ‘‘discretion is the better part of valor We attended the 8'ile of his household goods, and were completely nonplussed by «n investment made by one of the members of the Faculty. We can explain it on no other theory than that of his customary providence and foresight. We may be permitted to indulge the hope that “coming events cast the r shadows before ’ and that his purchase may ere long be seen perambulating our village in its proper capacity. The usual amusements incident to the Full Term have not been negleeted. Our friends, the Freshmen, have received ft liberal and flattering share of public attention. They are by this time well posted in regard to the friction resulting from contact with a greased pole, and the degree of elasticity usually found in a well stretched blanket. Several of them, to judge from their complexion, seemed to have been endeavoring to ornament tlicm-I selves after the fantastic manner of the aborigines, while their exhausted and haggard appearance for several days betokened some severe physical ordeal. Wc trust they have appreciated their advantages, and investigated to their satisfaction the habits and nature of the “Elephant ” The spirit of mischief, generally supposed to reside within college walls, has been abroad among US as usual. One morning a quadruped of the equine race was discovered comfortably ensconced in iIte Chapel basement; and on another occasion the reading desk, not formerly considered of an erratic nature, was found to have strayed from its usual location and wandered to the public well, probably for the sake of change of air. The customary ceremonies of that time-honored festival, Halloween, were scrupulously performed, although by some oversight, equally strange and unaccountable to the Profs and citizens, that anniversary was celebrated a day in advance. A stranger in our village next morning would have imagined that the fairies had been at work in good earnest. The Chapel presented a decidedly unique and interesting appearance. The eye roaming over its familiar floor searched in vain for anything in the shape of furniture while two contemplative cast iron statues, obligingly loaned for the occasion by an accommodating citizen, stood on the platform, calmly surveying the scene of desolntion. By way of digression, let us express the hope that “ the powers that, be ” tuny take this as a hint to improve the sanilFiry condition of the Institution, by providing us with a more comfortable and appropriate place for religious exercises than the damp and gloomy basement which has so long disgraced the name of the College Clmpel. In the park and throughout the town, further traces of supernatural visitation were apparent. The villagers, collected in knots, were mourning over strayed gates, missing wagons, departed signs, and fugitive benches, and hurling imprecations against tlie agency which had produced so disastrous a staLe of affairs. During the day they might be seen, singly or in squads, exploring with anxious faces the park, woods, fields nod river banks, in scorch of their missing property That accomplished functionary who so ably occupies the chair of dust and ashes experienced a series of heart rending misfortunes, which had the effect of dampening both his ardor and his apparel, while endeavoring to rescue from the cellar aortic of the Chapel benches. Some bold and original spirit among the Presides mustered sufficient courairc to attempt to evade mathematical recitation by greasing the black, board, but unfortunately his trouble and his coal oil were expended in vain. Indeed, through bis inexperience and Awkwardness lie even effected a decided improvement. The Kenyon Light Guards still continue lo present an appearonce in keeping with their past high reputation, although the officers almost rival the privates in point of numbers. Since our North Bend expedition, we look upon ourselves ns almost veterans. There arc also in connection with the Institution a Cricket Club and Gymnasium in successful operation, so that ample opportunity is afforded for nil to attend to their physical as well as mental development. But time and space worn us lo trespass no longeron the patience of our readers. In taking leave we would express the hope that, when our little journal makes its next np-pearance it may be under circumstances more favorable both for our College and our country. Such of Kenyon’s sons ns still remnin under the fostering cure of their Alma Mater must remember that upon them devolves the fluty of preparing for future usefulness. In times like the present, when the attention of the nation is so eagerly directed to the momentous events which are daily transpiring ! in tVie field, there it danger that, the peaceful ! arts will be unduly neglected. To guard I against this is the important task of those ! who, like ourselves, arc still engaged in the | avocations of every-day life. Let us not prove I recreant to our duly, but let us persevere, patiently hoping that ero another year rolls I round the serpent of rebellion, whose poisonous breath now spreads blight and desolation throughout our formerly happy and prosperous nation, may have received its death blow at the hands of avenging justice; “And Ihat oner moredread war may roaue, Where now each army nWlie : Amt olivfi rowned and white-robed peace Return to Mesa our rallejn.” ter whs nbfiU wme aft u . IND READER Arc you tired of study ? and do pleasing visions of other scenes and times float, magic-like, between your eye and the book before you ? Then come with ns a little while to-day, and perhaps we may pass the time in such a manner that neither you nor wo shall have reason to regret our interview. Our sanctum may not be very inviting, but here is our hand, extended, we trust, in obedience to the impulses of a warm and Friendly heart. Come, then, and let us. as fellow students, enjoy the pleasures of a friendly chat. We would not assume the toga of sage counselors, nor presume to think other students at nil bound to follow in our footsteps. But if, in reviewing our college course from thiB stund-point, we detect errors or notice better steps that may serve as warnings or afford encouragement to others, we may be pardoned for offering a few thoughts, imperfect though they may be, to those who shall come after ua. You have left home, a happy one, we doubt not, and come to share with us a student’s burdens. You have left behind you a cluster of associations once dear to you, but which, except as an occasional visitor, you BhaU know again, never. You are about to mingle in new associations, whose joys or sorrows, trials or triumphs, temptations or victories, must form a part of your experience. You bade adieu to friends, home and kindred, A brother, with a brother’s manliness, grasped your open hand to bid you God speed. A sister closed your trunk, wherein were placed ninny memorials of her love, and a hallowed kiss was her farewell. Your father clasped your hand, and prayerfully uttered, “ God bless you, my 8011.” His lip quivered, and yours was traitor to you then, while a moistened eye was your only response. No hypocrisy there, and even ostensible concealment failed when she who bore you, whose prayers were ever over you, whose heart was the shrine of your first earthly idolatry, and who taught your infant lips to say “Mother tremblingly took your hand in hers, and with by arm around your neck, falteringly spoke a maternal parent’s farewell. Language ispow-crless lo describe the sorrows of a mother’s heart when she commits a child to other hands Ihnn her own. You wept, if you were not too unmanly to do so. She wept, and her consecrated tears falling on your check stirred within you resolutions which, if kept, will make you a better man. We do not recall such associations to unman you, or prompt a childish desire to return thither. Far from it. They arc but temporary joys and comforts, which, in the course of this world, must be exchanged for the sterner realities of independent active life. We recall them, that you may now fully realize the great, responsibility which Tests upon you And this prepares the way for the next thought, we would offer. What course are you, as a man, in duty bound to pursue? It would be uttering no trite aphorism to urge upon you the importance of a faithful improvement of the time committed t.i your trust. Yet, for that advice we re-let you to written counsel from abler pens than ours. We would, kind fellow student, only take your hand in ours, and, as wc retrace 1 tlie path ourselves have trod, point out to you faithfully, disinterestedly, the little pitfalls and apparently insignificant stumbling blocks which obstruct a student's way, and the importance of which those alone can appreciate who have been qualified so to do by experience oft observation. Waiving metaphor, we would earnestly warn you lo shin those little errors, little sins, little meatinesses, which are so frequently the course of a student’s life yet which, because of their apparent insignificance, are seldom mentioned. The first dangers of which we would warn yon are those associated with the recitation room. Confining ourselves to the class room, we find equivocation foremost. Wo would dislike very much to call any of our fellow itu d nts deliberate liars, yet, unless you are very cireful, you will detect yourself lying—wc can c|U it by no milder term—in the recitation mom. When a little confused in your translation, and the professor takes the sentence from your lips, rendering it a little more elegantly, loW easy it is to ray, “That’s what 1 meant,” ud thus escape the embarrassment of a bad translation or a poor grade. Now, in ninety-line cases out of a hundred, you do not mean Iny such thing, nor could you have translated or parsed ihe sentence as it was done for you ; hence in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred you tell a lie. This is one of the most insidious temptations thrown in your way. Avoid it. Be a man. Speak the candid, honest truth, though you may in Home sense suffer for it. Again, you will meet the temptation of “contraband” information in the recitation room, such as is obtained by gratuitous or solicited answers from your nearest neighbor, sneaking glances at the pages of your Algebra, and a lung list of et celeras, all involving this bline principle viz. getting credit for doing unaided, what, in reality, you are assisted to do, hence wrong. If it were not wrong thus lo ask questions, you would not do it secretly. If it were right to consult your book during a mathematical recitation, you would not wait to do it until the professor’s face 13 from you. If referring to noteK involved no principle, you would do it openly in a manly way, and nut resort to the contemptible shift of bootleg hieroglyphics, wriat-band annotations, or thumb nail suggestions. Referring to temptations associated out of the class room, we are reminded of the peculiar use of “ translations.” It is not our purpose here lo approve of or condemn their use in point of literary advantage, on the contrary, what we do say is this, if you will use crutches, don't iry to make folks believe yon are not lame. We mean, be honest, be candid in regard to it. Don't concern 1 it and then lie about it, trying to get credit for brains you do not possess, or which if possessed, are not put to their legitimate use. There is, iu this connection, another vice which, we trust, has hut to be mentioned, to be despised by you. We have heard men inquiring, “Where is the lesson?” half an hour previous Lo recitation time, and then take their seat in class to recite well with apparently little preparation, thereby, genius-like, accomplishing in thirty minutes that for which others require two hours of hard study. But had you paid these same gifted individuals a visit about ten or eleven o'clock on the previous evening, you would have found them absolutely “digging in” like the most obtuse mediocre, to prepare that almost “extempore ” recitation. A word or two concerning your intercourse with your fellow students. You wish to be popular. Right, So do we all. The man who can be habitually indifferent to the good or ill will of his fellow men must be either a fool ora villain. The virtue lies in having the firmness ami independence to act contrary to the will of other men, when their acta or opinions conflict with our sense of duty. Now, if you desire the respect and affection of those around you in college life, this course of action ia necessary: to gain their respect, be industrious, dignified, manly, attentive to your own business, and seem to be only what you are; to win their affection, be kind, obliging, sociable and unselfish. But if, while thirsts ing for popularity, you would worry along through college with that desire unsatisfied, though constantly increasing, then act contrary to all this; and if still more is wanting to make you hated by every one around you, give free course to the development of that most contemptible of characteristics, conceit There is much of wisdom embodied in the old nursery rhyme— “ Littlw drops of water, Liitie gniinft of sand, Multi, tli mighty ocean And the beauteous land. The earth is composed of small and apparently insignificant particles, yet, from the smallest pebble in the world of matter, to the largest mass that contributes to the formation of our globe, there is every evidence of the Creator’s wisdom and benevolence. So in the moral world. From the simplest acts of conscientiousness and love, to the noblest deeds of self-sacrificing charity and honor, we are equally the objects of Divine solicitude. Now, if our virtues are thus considered, our smallest vices, on the other hand, cannot escape condemnation at the bar of humanity, much less at the judgment seat of God. And he who would build np a manly, noble character, by little deeds of right, can also, if he chooses, destroy the same character and bring disgrace, dishonor and death upon himself, by the corrupting and corroding influence of little acts of meanness, dishonesty and deceit. Thus, kind reader, we have endeavored to bring before you, in review, a few of the many little vices that will beset your path. It remains for you to decide what course you will take. We can only urge you, as men, to be manly, honest and faithful men. You may not, indeed meet ail the reward you look for as you advance in your course. You may sometimes bo subjected to the mortification of receiving a poor grade. You may. at limes, fail in a translation. You imiy, loo, while | thus toiling on unaided, see olhers sail by you, hear them puffed as “talented fellows,” and find them taking honors which, if external circumstances were the same, you would be aa capable of winning as they. “Thn e Ilfitit rquefftrlitm, who soured O’ar every pawifED reckoned st'Jiy, And took tlie •clmlto',' but Iibvft scored A single hour to the 'pony.' ’ But, you have what is more, you have an inward consciousness of right, a manly sense of honesty. You are doing your duty toward God and man, and depend upon it, dear fellow student, you will receive a recompense even in this world. The man who, on Commencement Day, can receive Ins diploma knowing that he has not resorted to one mean or dishonest thing in obtaining it, occupies a prouder, higher position than the most talented valedictorian, merely as such, that, ever lived. You may ask here, is there not many a pro Lessing Christian who resorts to at least some of the means we condemn. Alas ! we are compelled to answer, “Yes.” Blit “to his own Master he standetk or faReth.” If any man who while professing to be a follower of Him whose every thought, word and act were those of the strictest honesty, manliness and piety, does still stoop to the use of such means as we have mentioned, of such a man we have nothing to say; the less we can say about him the better, both for himself and the cause he pretends to advocate. But wo address you as friends, we appe-al to you as fellow students, we urge you as men, to be manly, honest, upright, and you will not regret it. Not regret it throughout your course in college, not regret it during your intercourse with men in after life, and not regret it when you and we and all men shall stand before that omniscient Judge who looketh on the heart.
