Bugles then shall sound Reveille.” Tlie dying fires of tho year remind us once more to sound Reveille to arouse the host of Kenyon’s friends, and re-awaken echoes that have been Bilent for a year. Graduate and undergraduate, friend and patron, we call on you to look at Kenyon's record for the past twelve m on the. has left the warm embrace of her Alma Mater, and is now exposed to the “ chilling blasts of the world,” It was a good class, and the old lady relaxed her encircling arms reluctantly. They have left behind a good name, and the example of what a class united can accomplish, which it will be well for those who come after us to follow. The past year has been one of continued activity in college; every department seems Imbued with fresh life. The literary societies were never better filled, or tho duties more promptly performed; they are useful adjuncts to the regular college exercises, and we hope that the interest which has ever been manifested in them may continue to increase with tho increasing prosperity of the college. The ball clubs are well sustained by the enthusiastic followers of health and exercise, who are over ready to uphold tlie reputation of Kenyon muscle and activity against all comers. Lovers of out-door amusements will soon have a new field for the display of their skill. Several boat duns have lately been formed, and suitable boats ordered, which are soon expected to take their place upon the river. This is a move which ought to have been mad© long ago, and we commend the originators for their energy in starting the project, which, if carried out, will add much to the attractiveness of the College. Piscatorial pursuits have of late become unusually popular, so much so, indeed, that the park trees are in great, demand by members of the Faculty, behind which they can safely watch the midnight fishermen. We would advise the more judicious selection, hereafter, of a larger tree, or smaller man, for, by no principle of optics wo arc aware of, will a tree bix inches in diameter conceal a person of the ordinary dimensions. Mistakes are sometimes made in the dark. So, in the future, greater caution should be exercised. The Freshman Class is mot as large as was expected; not as large, indeed, as the last class. Now that the clouds of war have once more been dispelled, and peace has emptied the cornucopia of plenty over the land, we were in hopes that the numbers which once sought the protection of “ Old Kenyon ” might have again been gathered here, and the Campus filled, as of old with representatives from all parts of the country. Our Alma Mater still stretches forth her hands to those from all sections. She knows no partisanship. The recollection of Southern students lias not been erased by the paBt four years, and Kenyon hopes that tho friendships contracted hero may prove no small bond of future union. Those who left us, wo still associate in the close sympathy of old college reminiscences, and to those who shall come, we hold out the hand of kindly welcome. The Grammar School continues to flourish under the care of Mr. Marsh, who has shown himself perfectly competent to fill his difficult position. This department has lately been entirely separated from the jurisdiction of the College Faculty, and Mr. Marsh has accepted the superintendence of it for ten years. We congratulate the trustees, and students generally, on having secured his services for so long a time. The spirit of enterprise noticed last year in Gambier, in the way of town improvements, has, we are sorry to see, entirely disappeared. Not a foot-path, or a U EVEILLE fence, or new gate, over which we could I w the bugle of progress. The town instituti us are still confined to the Public Well, wlcli still continues to contribute to the toeU-dng of the public. Old graduates, on thei r retirn, need feel no fear of having their fcJLer reminisences of this “ delightful litorm i-treat rudely dispelled by changes tlulB[ notice. Gambier sentiment has too long boh fossilized in a deep-seated censervatim, which has the most superstitions dread ot any modern improvements. It is about Imc the inhabitants were showing some littl ac-tivlty to make the tow n keep pace withihe rapid advance of the College. Our bttlc sounds a triumphant blast over the '“lew baby.'’ The anniversary of our deparSdi’s dissolution was ushered in silently, and ho sad recollections of its disturbing voice on twenty-second mornings weighed heavilyon all, when suddenly the “new comer” m-nounced its advent by a most lusty “equal,” which called to mind the tones of its predecessor. It has now risen to tho dignity cf a carriage and is ever ready to disprove, cajin-ically, that “children (i.e. babies) should e seen but not heard.” There was a general feeling of disappointment among tho students at the beginniiljjkf the term, at the non-appearance of Profeiupr Chapman among the Faculty. His appointment was considered certain, past all iirtfcr-fercnce, and we had been looking forward with great pleasure to renewing the acquaintance commenced at the beginning of jur course. Those of us who remember the energy and activity of the Professor in old times jan better appreciate the loss we havo sustained, though all unite in condemning tho policy which deprived us of liis abilities. It filds no favor with us, and we can truth fully record his unabated popularity, and our enfire disapproval of the means which defeated his appointment. The time Is not far distant when the cllss of “’66” will leave forever the associations and pleasures of tho past four years. |As we look back on our course, we find liftle to regret; no lowering of dignity at aliy time, or withdrawing from positions oncejs-stimed. No member has ever left the clasijin disgrace; those who have gone have bwn followed by regret from all. They are Bettered throughout the land, employed in all the pursuits of life. One voice alone is missed from the mil, Frederick Eagle. Though with us but a » rt time, we learned to understand the sterling worth of his character, and in his life we can see an example of energy by which we all might profit. E igite monomenfum aere Perennias. No period, perhaps, in the history of a young man’s life is more important, more critical in whatever aspect it may be viewed, than his entrance into College. It is, in truth, the great turning point towards a bright and happy future of prosperity and usefulness, or towards a career of dark and gloomy disappointment and sorrow, resulting from misap. plied talents, and an unpardonable neglect of golden opportunities. “Learn, then. 0 young man! God hath apppointed wisdom the reward of study. 'Tis a well of living water, whose inexhaustible bounties all might drink, but few dig deep enough.” Without further preliminaries, then, but taking it for granted that you admit with us the great importance of the event, and the vital importance of giving a right shape to your course, and thereby forming a character which will go with you through life—nay, follow you to eternity, we ask your forbearance while we give you, from experience, or observation, the dangers incident to the life upon which you have just entered. The sources of the most obvious perils to which the student’s life is daily exposed have been more than once misconceived. Now, we do not believe, as is very often supposed, that they spring up because the watchful care of home, the consecrated ties of family love and affection are no longer present to warn them off. We take it for granted that their sacred influence will not follow you in vain. No, we believe they still speak audibly to you to act honorably and honestly your part under all circumstances. The danger does not lie in a want of Christian sympathy and instruction; they are both in abundance. You will find here those who are willing to spend and be spent in the service of education, both ready and anxious to take you by the hand, and gently and skillfully lead you up the hill of science, strengthening and storing your minds at every pause in the difficult path. Nor does it arise from a laxity of principle prevalent among students. There never was a grossermiatakc than to impute to them vicious habits and pernicious principles, as a class. Yet it is an error much indulged in by those unacquainted with College life. Their imagination pictures the student as a kind of out-law, one whose only object seems to be to disturb the repose of society, and break down the barriers which separate order from anarchy and confusion. The absurdity of such ideas needs no comment; besides, its investigation is foreign to our gresent purpose. We are more inclined to believe that the dangers incident to the student, lies in the want of a full and proper realization of the great truth that “God hath appointed wisdom the reward of study,” Ask the great majority of your classmates their object in coming to Kenyon, will they not confusedly stare at you for the want of honest feeling in the reply which the lips would utter, or flippantly say that it is to make the pilgrimage of custom to the classic shrine; and mature experience will add to the reply, leave on the family tree of his Alma Mater the rag of a name, and carry away—what? A little of the surface earth which covers the rich treasures of education. This doubtless arises from the fact that the thoughtless student invariably falls to estimate aright his course in relation to the responsibilities and claims of life, which is, after all, or at least ought to be, the mainspring of all our actions in whatever sphere we may chance to move. For we take it, that to discharge faithfully those duties imposed upon us by our connection with life and its various relations is of paramount importance in giving a right shape to our future life and destiny ; and without this centrifugal force to keep one in the circle of the curriculum, into how many paths does he find himself turning. First we find him where ------“ Vaunting ambition G!er leapB Itself and fulls, At the very beginning of his course he fixes his eye upon the distant crown, which selfishness and a sordid ambition holds out, and gilds with all the coloring of a fevered fancy, and devoid of any principle to govern him, he fails to reach his aim. When such is the case, the student loses his independence and stoops to todyism, and perhaps less honorable means. Then again, there is the ambition of popularity, which is assuredly the most pernicious craving which the human mind can indulge in. It is peculiarly characteristic of those who have not the aptitude for learning, or, having it, want application and persevering energy to pursue successfully the prescribed course. Notwithstanding, sueh an one would fain be the man of College, who would wield the magic wand of influence over the little world of some two hundred or so, and direct all the movements and workings of the little Republic. You may readily distinguish him by the urbanity of his manners towards those who wield the sceptre of power, at the same time disregarding, nay, dispising, the unassuming. How careful does ho appear to engage in all the games and incidents which may attract and please tho multitude. In short, his motto seems to be, “to be everything to everybody,” (that can forward his interests) in the lowest human interpretation of tho word. We ask, why is such an one not detected? Why is he not exposed to the scorn of those around him. Ilis force of will seems to keep under any opposing force, and the foothold which he has gained in the social circle of College life appears to defy any attack, no matter how formidable. Such characters but too often are found among tho busy crowds of College life; so that it were useless to flatter yourself with the consideration that here you are free from the various vicisitudes and incidents which are found in other spheres of human life. We have spoken of two of the most dangerous phases of College life, captivating1 alike to the Christian and irreligious student. We would also call your attention to frivolity —a lack of seriousness in the pursuit of knowledge, which leads to vicious habits and a useless and criminal waste of time. Nor is this less important and perillous to the young and inexperienced, who are yet but on the threshold of the course, than those already mentioned. To waste time, talents and invaluable advantages, is so gross a crime that we hold him little less culpable than the Promethean robber, who would be guilty of trifling with matters of such significance. Yet, is it not too often the case that those hours which should be peculiarly, and without interruption, devoted to study, are abandoned to objects and pursuits entirely unworthy the sacrifice, and if long indulged in may lead to serious consequences. Too often has Buch a course eventuated in a life of worthlessness and dishonor to the unfortunate victim. Ponder, then, at the very beginning, the saying of the wise man: “Happy is the man | that fiudetb wisdom, an 1 the man that getteth understanding.” Here is a stimulant worthy your highest ambition, your moBt careful and attentive consideration. Its application to your case will not fail to secure for you the admiration and applause of the wise and virtuous, and a reputation which time will not, or cannot, obliterate. While, on the other hand, a misapplication of precious time and happy opportunities will as inevitably result to your detriment, and in after-life will make you contemptible in your own eyes, and despised in the sphere of your activity. It is an egregious mistake to suppose that any degree of distinction can be reached, or even a moderate acquisition of knowledge obtained without a long and severe application. The lovely chef d’ oeuvre of the Grecian artist was the result of years of practice and hard toil. Nor is the student's task less arduous. Here is a field bounded by no definite limits, confined within no narrow compass, but like the trackless ocean, its consummation lies far beyond the bounds of human vision, and affords an ample scope for the exercise of the highest talent, the most cultivated intellect. And nothing, perhaps, gives the highly educated man more real pleasure than to reflect th t, notwithstanding all that ho has learned, there is still abundance for future speculation, for a more careful and comprehensive investigation. If it then be your aim, and your very presence here implies this, to drink deep at the pure fount of ancient and modern literature “to cultivate the graces of the outward, and the virtues of the inner man,” tho first and paramount thing demanding your attention, is to lay the foundation of a comprehensive and liberal education, and thus prepare yourself for the coming duties of life. The peculiar aspect of the times, the cause of humanity demands this. For there never was a period which affords greater scope for the dc-vclopement and application of high Intellectual attainments than the present. Many posts of importance are vacant and anxiously waiting to be filled by those who are competent and willing. I know you will say, give some well defined plan—mark out some clear and distinct limits. This does not seem to us necessary. As far as a course of study is concerned, we say, follow faithfully, and as near os possible, that marked out by your College. Wc mean, do it to the best of your ability. But remember, all are not gifted alike: all have not the same mental caliber—indeed, it may not be too much to say that men differ as much here as in their physical development. Find out your own capacity, and then do not, by overtaxing, render it worthless. Rather increase its power by Blow progressive exercise, “Festina lento,” hearing in mind that the philosophy of the mental faculties is precisely similar to that of the muscles in this respect, both being increased and developed by exercise. Do not try to deceive yourseves and otherB by aiming at an outward fluency of speech ; an attempt to make them believe you know something about every subject. Bo content to sit a learner at the feet of mature experience, find when the time comes for you to act you will understand your own strength. Use no untried armor which would expose your inexperience and defeat the victory in view. Remember, and would that every student could be convinced of the truth, that the strength of God is just as available to the ardent atripling, struggling with ignorance, ns to the enthusiastic pntriot in the battle for his country. You have doubtless often heard the motto of Luther—“ Grasse bene eat bene ttudume” And what did he accomplish? History, and thecauie of humanity, joyously answer. And here we might say—do not pursue certain studies because agreeable to your taste to tlie exclusion of others less so. Our main object in College is, not bo much to acquire knowledge, as to make the mind capable of receiving it. Yet, is it not too often the case that the student consults his own convenience discarding a certain study because, apparently, useless in preparing him for his future vocation. This ought not to be, as all your studies are judiciously selected, and have special reference to the best method of cultivating and strengthening the powers of the mind. We have endeavored to set before you some of the evils to be ovoided, aud the very condition of this is doing the good, not. the mere outward good, but that which begins within and works outward. Dr. Arnold used to say when a new boy came to Rugby. “ It is a most touching thing to uie to receive a new fellow from his father, when I consider what an influence there is in this place For evil as well as for good.” Wc ask you to remember that Kenyon has two claims on the student. One is—son, give me thy understanding; the other, and most important is—son, give God thine heart. Let it be your most emphatic resolve to give a willing and a hearty res pose, so that when you are about, to leave those scenes, endeared by many fond associations, you may carry with you the satisfaction of having done your duty and that you may be able in after life to look back to it as the place where not only nobleftr»jc thought-s and aspirations were received, but8®,? as the birth-place of your soul. ---------- 1 j
