I KENYON KEVEILLE. |icni ott |tcmllc. Oi PUBLISHED UNDER THE AUSPICES OF THE CLASS OF 67. EDITORS; R. J. ADLER, If. P. KKLLEY, Q. Q. DICKSON, T. A. SIcBRIDK. In welcoming' the now year with hearty pood will, we sound Reveille. u’67, the brightest star that gleams in heaven,” sung of so much and so anxiously looked for by the dignified Senior, has appeared at last. Its parallax was calculated in our Freshmen seats; its distance was there estimated, and now we witness its glorious transit across the bright disc of our u Kttle world of Kenyon,” and we earnestly hope that it may be as the morning star of a good, noble and useful life to each of those about to go forth. Since the bugle notes of the last Reveille have ceased to echo and re-echo amidst our “lofty halls,” the class of '66 have been enrolled as alumni, and ’70 numbering twen-ty-eight have begun their laborious ascent to 14 graduation day.” Seven have been admitted from other colleges, among whom are representatives from Harvard and Columbia. On returning from our long vacation we were agreeably surprised to sco the transforming influence that had been at work on the “Old College ’ The beautiful slate, from the Green Mountain State, that now deck steeple and roof, and the new iron pinnacles, add much to the appearance of the staunch old edifice; and while we would not assume criticism upon the general appearance of the improvements, still we would beg leave to question the taste of placing in so conspicuous a place the red letters Ken von. It seems to us rather “ Dutch,” and too liable to be confounded with a favorite resort of the students in Mt. Vernon. As gatherers of the news waifs of the day, it becomes us to notice the munificent gift of the philanthropic millionaire, George Peabody, of twenty-five thousand dollars, as an endowment for the chair of “ Mathematics and Civil Engineering.” We trust that other gentlemen who have an interest in this, one of the leading institutions in the great West, will go and do likewise. The sale of four hundred scholarships has recently been authorised by the College Trustees. These scholarships are to be good for ten years, and are to be sold for one hundred dollars, the regular tuition for that time would be four hundred and twenty. The Rev. Dr. Bronson has been appointed agent for their disposal, and, wo are glad to hear is succeeding very well. The object of this sale is to endow all of the Professorships, so that the expense of a Collegiate course will be very much diminished. It is with many regrets that the Seniors bid good bye to our accomplished and popular instructor in the Scientific department, Professor II. L. Smith, who leaves for Europe this month. And while we regret to lose the valuable instruction of the Professor for the remainder of the present collegiate year, nevertheless we are glad to see him go for his own improvement in mind and body. He goes with our kindest wishes. It is rumored that his chair is to be filled during his absence by Professor Gardiner of the Theological Seminary. The high scientific attainments of the Professor, together with his fine social qualities, make us hope that the report may prove true. As editors of a public sheet, we feel it our v not only to make our paper the expo, nent of public opinion and the herald of news, hut to deal critically and severely with wrong wherever | found,and in whatever shape it may appear, within our college limits. We wish that our editorial trumpet could sound piercing and shrill notes that might ring alike in the ears of Seniors and Freshmen, “ Barbs” and “Arabs,” and impress them of the necessity of a little more muscular manliness and old fashioned honesty in the every day transactions of college life. Hughes, Arthurs and Ilurdys seem to be alarmingly few in Kenyon. Wo have written the above with direct reference to the dismissal of a member of the Sophomore class last term. Its application may be felt by BRING an examination of the tiles of our College paper, we found that it devolves upon us to speak a word of kindly welcome and friendly advice to those of you who are just entering the portals of college life ; and although the task is in many respects u pleas- ant one, were it not for a reluctance to break through the barriers of time-honored custom, we should hesitate to those whoso avowal of the acts would have conduct you along a path whose coy deli-protected the innocent. caeies and grand combinations have all sur- We are glad to turn from this disagreeable rendered themselves to the enticing glances subject to something more pleasant.

The tediousneso of the first term of the present Collegiate year, was much relieved by the enthusiasm displayed by the members of the rival base-ball clubs of the College. The discomfiture of the “ Steubenville Nine ” has given a new impetus to the noble game. Before, we were scarcely aware of the mettle of the College, and the alumnus who so happily extinguished himself upon that occasion, even while “ batting” against the unweaned of his Alma Muter, we hope may be induced to lead another club, fresh from their Virginia,” to Kenyon, to try it again. lasting friendship of our Kenyon life, for wo feel that there are those in your number who will battle nobly for intellect and virtue against brute force and vice; and if we can rivet or strengthen a single link of that armor you are here to put on, the object of these few words will be fully accomplished. First settle upon that which is to be the object of your college life. Strange as it may appear, there are many who pass through college without having given this subject a single thought; and although having been provided with sextant, compass, and all else necessary to guide them, have, Tor this reason, steered Tor now one, now another of the chimeras of college opinion, and at last been dashed upon the barren victories in bores of some worthless enterprise. The Such lost natural conclusion in this matter ia, to harmless contests deserve encouragement from suppose that you are here to store your all. They casta healthy glow over the spoft oiiiul with all kinds of useful knowledge. This is a mistake, and a fatal one, for we think the knowledge and experience here gained is useless only in so far as it tends to ivert of the young collegian, and serve to d into more harmless channels that buoyancy of spirits that might otherwise vent itself more destructively. The clubs of Kenyon discipline mind and heart; just in the pro-are now incorporated into the great “ Nation- portion that this is effected, have you attained to the true ideal of excellence,—embodied in “ the grand old name of gentleman,” That this is the opinion, at least, of those whose experience should make them safe guides, a reference to the course of study in any of our colleges will at once convince you. Why should all pursue the same course of study? Why, for instance, should the one expecting to enter a profession undergo a course of mathematics which, to him, may be not only difficult anti dry, but for which he will likely never have any practical use, unless we admit, mental discipline should alone be the object of a college education. Narrow indeed is that view which puts any value upon the few principles of Geometry. Conic Sections and Calculus, or the smattering of Plato, Demosthenes, Cicero and Livy, which the graduate carries away with him. Just here we find the cause of the opposition which deters so many who look forward to the practical pursuits of life from entering college, and which from the stand point at which this subject is viewed is a perfectly just one. Leaving that which is by far the more important of the two, the discipline of the heart, by merely reminding you that.— al” and “ Western Base-Ball Associations.” As we stand as Seniors, and look back itpon our course, and see wherein we might have added to our already well-earned reputation os a class, we desire to admonish those that are hand-over-liand pulling themselves oyer the lower rungs uf the bvldor be Mire ti i they do it honestly and diligently. Remeln-ber that he who shines from borrowed light, whether in the class-room, or in his literary duties, is (like the moon) liable constantly not only to exhibit phases, but to be totally eclipsed, and that too at times when he should shine the brightest, But wo have something else to do besides writing moral essays for Freshmen. One reading our very disconnected, rambling article, might infer that there were no persons here but students to write about, but let it be known to our readers that there is society in Gambier, kind, sociable and hospitable. While we write the word “ hospitable” we are vividly reminded of the pleasant entertainments of last Commencement week. We would just remark, that we entirely approve of having such jokes perpetrated upon our good natures. We hail, too, with inexpressible joy the rumor that the Commencement of T67 is to work the “ rein-atiguration of the President’s levees.” Preceding classes have longed to see this and have not seen it. We hope that these friendly feelings between citizen and student will continue to grow, until the remembrance of former exclusiveness shall be wholly erased.

We would like to blow a blast for the “Jair though less important, is peculiar to yout ones of Gambier who, id late, have been allege Ijfg the discipline of the mind, becoming “beautifully less” in number; but fully aware of our inability to do them 4u -tice, and truly conscious of our own inexperience we must refrain, assuring them, however, that by no means is their “ sweetness wasted on the desert air,” for each year sees the blossoms gathered one by one. Next June the Class of ’67 will be launched upon the boisterous seas of the busy wfiirid. Entering with thirty, but fourteen have sailed safely over the breakers; and filled with bright anticipations for the future, they should observe the remarks of Ralph Waldo Emerson, made twenty-five years ago at Dartmouth : “When you shall say, VAs others do, so must I, I renounce, I am sorry for it, the dreams of my youth, I must let learning and romantic expectation go until a more convenient season.' Then dies the man in you. Then perish the ends of art, poetry and science, as they have died already in a thousand, thousand men. The hour of that choice is the curse of your history, see that you hold yourselves fast by the intellect.” That the Class goes forth with the majority of its members destined for the ministry, is truly a most noble record for it. To those of you who are actuated hy a desire to improve, doubtless lias occurred this question : Shall I aim at excellence in the duties of the class-room or in those of my literary society? If you regard the duties of the two of importance in proportion tin they will produce the effect we have pointed out. you cannot long hesitate to which of them to give the preference. Viewed in this light, the regular college exercises are certainly of the greatest importance, and all others should lie made subordinate to them. If influenced by this belief, you are putting forth your best efforts, beware lest, in an unwary moment, the arguments of those who wage war against college honors entrap you in thrir subtle meshes. The few who now cry out against what once they themselves strove to obtain, but which through luck of ability or through indolence have abandoned, will, of course, influence you but little in this matter; yet there are a great many whq raise this opposition from what they consider suf- one will, for u moment, deny that if offering1 a reward fur diligence caused those striving for it to surrender all independence of character bo that they prepared their recitations merely in such a way as would ensure them a high mark; or if it prompted them, bo descend to acts of trickery to secure it, that such a system should be alwdished. But because men arc found in the ministry unworthy tlieir calling, should we for this reason discountenance the profession itself? To attempt the overthrow of college honors because through their intluenee there are, iu some instances, those foolish enough to entertain ill feelings against their classmates, is simply absurd. Success in any pursuit is due to a desire, a determination to excel. Consider for a moment what would be the result if there were no emulation. It is the very soul of enterprise, take it away, and you leave society a lifeless mass. The sneer of the envious, that those who receive the honors are likely to he unsuccessful in after life, is as false as it is absurd. That, certainly, is a strange course of reasoning, by moans of which failure is deduced from former success. It is almost impossible to point to a college graduate, of any great eminence, who was not noted for diligence while in college, and who did not bear away one of the honors of his class. To do honorable men justice, it must be acknowledged that the majority of them are actuated by no other motive than a desire to improve and, by obtaining college honors, to gratify their friends. Now if you are guided by this principle, wo assure you there need bo no fear of forfeiting your manliness and no cause to brood over a dark and uncertain Future. Every argument urged againt emulation in elfins attacks order wherever found, and “ order is heaven’s first law.” A few words from Shakespeare’s defense of rank may not bo inappropriate ; “Qli, wlieu dpgreo is alinkfri. Which In the Imldur to all high detiigna, Tlio Qtitcrpririo nick, Tiike but degree nvvay, untune that string, And hark what discord follows; cadi thing meets Id Dlere oppugnancy.” While we thus urge you to a determined diligence, and on no account to neglect your studies, let us now point to the advantages you may derive from your literary societies. There, as in the class-room, are to be found elements of discipline which, a they are to he met with no where else, if neglected now can never be recovered. Giving all the time that is necessary to your studies, there will yet be found much which ib unoccupied; devote this to your society. Attention to one of these means of culture to the neglect of the other, will leave the mind possessed either of an awkward strength, or else an effeminateuess equally unproductive, while a proper devotion to each will endow it with the grace and vigor of the perfect man. It is the boast of our Kenyon that her literary societies yield the palm to none, either in respect to the elegance of their halls and libraries, or in the live interest taken in them by tlieir members. It devolves on you not only to sustain her reputation in this respect, bat whereas now, she is excelled hy none, that hereafter she he not equalled. There is a branch of improvement intimately connected with the exereiseB of the literary societies, which it is to be regretted has been entirely neglected hy uh during the past few years. The support of a college periodical. The chief benefit arising from this source, aside from the means afforded ns an outlet for individual experiences of college life, is the awakening influence such an enterprise would have, and which, if we mistake not, is particularly needed at this time. Have we not degenerated somewhat from that manly vigor of thought and action which so strikingly characterized Kenyon's sons of former years? The decrease in the number of students at the breaking out of the war made the further prosecution of the Kenyon Collegian impracticable. But as the cause for its suppression is now removed, and we are once more fairly started on the road to prosperity, the want which originated it demands its revival, and the spirit which raised it to the first rank among the College literature of its day, cannot fail to enable it to resume its former proud position. Whilc other institutions support quarterlies, monthlies, and some even weeklies, shall we, possessed of all the experience necessary to insure success, allow the fair reputation of our Alma Mater to suffer? These suggestions of course are meant for any and all who may take an interest in the matter, and so would not properly find their way into those columns, yet a desire to have men-ij sures taken to reinedv the evil.
