 GREETING: Kind Friends : Once more our bugle sounds its notes of greeting. It has met with some changes since last it welcomed you; may they be kindly received. The old “paper 1 form has disappeared, and a tasty pamphlet takes its place. The long prosaic moral lectures, which the Freshmen never read and the Seniors never practiced, have been abolished. We have left the old beaten track and9 present to you an “experiment. Now, it you will be “ To it» virtues very, very kind. And to its faults a little blind, you can make our “experiment. likeSImkespeare’s tomb, “a success. First of all would we greet “ the new administrat ion and con- gratulate the College on tin happy changes made in its Faculty ! Life has already taken the place of apathy. Young blood will always tell, is our theory; and we feel that prosperity awaits Kenyon’s future. Most Gracious Seniors, we salute you ! The few lingering sands, that mark your stay, drop slowly, almost sadly. Soon you will he known only by your memories, by the niches you have left behind you cut in the walls. Long will it be ere we greet an- other such as you. If in the great world, on whose threshold you now stand, you “fight the good fight, as nobly as you have done, your Alma Mater will have reason to be proud of you, her choicest sons. Juniors, all bail! You arc still only overgrown Sophomores, even though you strive to impress us otherwise. Aspire not be- fore your time to Senior “ dignities and honors,” for they come only too soon as heralds of the departure of your happiest days. Now is the time “to sing your glees, and “quaff the sparkling Improve well your gala days, ere you stiffen your muscles into the rigid dignity of seniorhood. Gallant Sophomores, we doubly greet you. An evil star over- hung your birth. Let us hope that the troubles, which so lately grieved you, was its last look ere it wheeled far out into space. Best class since ‘08, may your course be as pleasant and, if possible, more profitable than hers. Freshmen, we pat your heads with paternal affection. We had much good advice in store for you, but “ moral lectures” being taken otf the programme our midnight oil is saved and so are you. We can only say, may “the Lambs,” gamboling in the rich fields of Old Kenyon, grow fat with many honors.
