Friends: Having topped the hill, anil being about to descend into the valley of the shadows of College life, we take advantage of our eminence to blow a strain of welcome to • • you all. At least vc intend to blow, and doubtless it will prove a strain upon the patience of our readers. Although we are fledgelings in the editorial world, we do not ask your sympathy. And now, having made our debut, we, like the great Levy, will shut our eyes, puli' out our cheeks and elbows, and begin. Hail 1� eace and Hope! Heralds of prosperity! you tied affrighted when fust in wordy war the mighty patriarchs con- fronted stood )y Kenyon’s warlike sons; but now tlie clouds have parted, and the sun of a more prosperous day having burst upon us, you have taken your place in our hearts once more. Seniors, with pride we greet you. Born in troublous times, you have suffered many reverses, but have been disgraced by none. It is not appropriate here to enter into an eulo gium upon your virtues, nor the brilliancy of your career; but we cun say that no class is remembered with so much affection by those who have gone before you, and no class can have a larger heart for the sweet associations of College life, and your companions from whom you are soon to part. Juniors and Sophomores, hail! (For further particulars see Reveilles of “’71” and “’72”) Freshmen, we own to a large degree of paternal affection for you, but we decline patting you on the head, for we have seen the evil effects of such treatment by our predecessors. 1 SALUTATION. © have a moral lecture for you. From our eminence we can see the mothers’ darlings scrambling up the heights; at least some of them. Others seem opposed to the scrambling sys- tem, and, alas, have taken to the saddle! And, in sooth, your ponies must be of the Pegasus breed, else how could you fly from the shores of Troy to CarthageT To be sure, you might mount upon the back of a sea gull and skim grace tully over. At all events, there is a great deal of gulling, and skimming over too. Soon you will come to the Elysian Fields, but, oh, do not canter through them! We protest against such marked disrespect being shown to the venerable Pater Anchises. Dismount,you lazy urchins! Walking three times a day to your meals will not harden your muscles sufficiently to enable you to climb the bill of life, and the pony express does not extend beyond the College walls. And now we intend to give you some wholesome advice. Reverse your present motto, which seems to lie:“Give every man thy voice, but few thine ear.” Be familiar, but not vul- gar. Give thy thoughts no tongue. Slum auctions. The hen roosts thou hast visited, and their adoption tried, do not grapple them to thy breast with hook of steal. Let thy apparel Ik neat, but not gaudy, (as some one has very justly remarked.) And this above all: To thy own selves In true, and it will follow' as night the day that you will slum Me.’s, the Bergin, chewing, excessive smoking, cards,and profanity. Year after year we have seen the Freshmen dosed with high toned lectures upon the44duty of the student,”etc., which were as indigestible to the young scholar as was the trickle and sulphur of Dotheboy’s Hall. The writers seem to have started out on the hypothesis that all Freshmen are strictly moral, and that a little touching up as to their higher duties is all sufficient. It is an acknowledged fact that by far the larger amount of SALUTATION. • immorality at College is confined to the lower classes. By the Junior year the student lias either sown his wild oats, or lias left College for reasons best known to the faculty. The practices against which we warn the lambs are the roots of all evil at College. They give birth to the sluggard, and the | eiidthrift, and until they are eradicated let us forbear from giving any theoretical dissertation. Freshmen, you are at the forks of roads which do not meet again through life. One leads into the bracing air of true manhood; along the other the atmosphere grows fouler the further you advance. Farewell! Our blessings season this in thee. As chroniclers, we take pleasure in welcoming President Tappsin to Kenyon, an accomplished gentlemen, and an enter- prising, enthusiastic worker in behalf of our Alma Mater, e are loth to record the resignation of Professor Felwell. His exertions during the few months he was with ns have taught us how to appreciate his loss. As yet, no martyr has Ih cii found to till the Professor’s place. W e find, also, from a perusal of old Reveilles, that it devolves upon us to say that the duties in Philo, and Nil Pi Kappa are performed much better than in former years, but t we will not vouch lor the truth of the statement; although they are Imth prosperous, and the exercises show proof of the inestimable benefit derived from the teachings of Pro- fessor Strong. Indeed we do not see how we could ever have done without him; and may we not do without him for many long years. It is our-province, also, to note the prosperity of Milnor Hall, We regret that the Paene class of last year did not return to tnke its place among the sub-fresh. We hear he lias entered active business. He was a pleasant fellow, and we are sorry to have lost him. SALUTATION. A chapel lias been erected during the past year, unsurpassed by any Church in the State in beauty «1' architecture. As far ■ as ink, paper and suggestion go, the friends of Kenyon are active and numerous. The contributions to the College during the past year are as follows: 44 Standard of the Cross,”....................8 columns. “The Grizzly Collegency,” .... 1 44 Other papery...................................2 44 Total,......................11 columns and no cents. How much sweetness to waste on the desert air. 44 Would, my lord, that our waste were less, and our means greater.” The “Collegency,” published by a school in Iowa, has taken our Sophomores to task for the publication of the outlawed sheet of last commencement. As Kenyonites we how before the just rebuke, and confess that it is indeed “humiliating” to be compelled to pass under the rod of our 44bully rook” of the prairies. But we must own toa feeling of enmity towards him for taking our words out of our mouth, for we had intended to make capital out of the same theme for our edito- rial. But we will now forbear, inasmuch as the above-men- tioned article thoroughly exhausts the subject, the reader, and—let us ho| e—the writer also. The author, who we take for granted is a Freshman, has not yet learned inter Collegi- ate courtesy, else he would not have charged all Kenyon ites who are not indecent with tameness. We are sorry to see that the “Standard of the Cross,” in treating ol the same subject, has made several misstatements, the most flagrant of which is that these papers appear annu- ally. As far as we are able to learn, this is but the third pub- lication of the kind dining the forty years of our Alma Mater’s existence. SALUTATION. 7 When we look back over the past three years of our Col- lege life, and mark the unsettled state of the faculty and the general dissatisfaction of the students thereat, we may thank our stars that but one detestable sheet has marked the course of so many misfortunes. And we think we can promise for Kenyon, that if we are left in the undisturbed enjoyment of our present faculty, many years will elapse before we are sub- jected to such another disgrace. 8 PHI BETA KAPPA. §?M fteta |Uppa.

Editorial. “Xnlla remedia, iam facient doloremy (Juam quae sunt Salutaria.” The bugle note sounded by the class of ’(JO has died away in inaudible echoes. Time, in his ceaseless round, brings the class of ?70 near the goal toward which we turned our long- ing eyes in the verdancy of Freshman days. Thus, in turn, it becomes our duty to increase the respect and enthusiasm for 44 Old Kenyon ” in her active sons, to re awaken the love for her in the hearts of her Alumni. Friends and patrons—in the preceding pages you have pre- sented to your notice the prescut condition of Kenyon, in so far as a pamphlet of this character can give it. It devolves upon us to lay before 3 011 a fair statement of her wants. No yearly 14Reveille17 should .be needed to arouse her Alumni to a recognition of their duty, or to urge the interests of their Alma Mater upon their attention. But it seems to us that instead of the enlivening beat of the rallying drum ringing in their ears, our Alumni and friends have been lulled to pleas- ant and idle dreams, by the more somniferous melody of 44 tutoo” and 44 taps.” We would not wish to be understood as asserting that this is more true of the Alumni of Kenyon than of those of other institutions. So far as our informa- tion extends, no College in the land retains its hold on its graduates in a greater degree than she. We lay it down as a broad proposition, that graduates do not use the intlueuce they possess, for tlie furtherance of the best interests, aifd in- crease of the prosjierity of the several institutions, tt which they arc indebted for the development of whatever brains they originally |K ssessed. Were the op|K site of this true, who can estimate the value of the beneficial changes which would re- sult from energetic co-operative effort! Witness the gather- ing of the Alumni at commencement. It does not require EDITORIAL. 45 any extensive knowledge of the four fundamental rules of arithmetic to count their number, or compute the amount of substantial good doue. A few there are, who always make it a point- to be present on this traditionally jolly occasion. For such we would sound a welcome strain. Hut there are many more who, although possessing every facility, fail to put in an api carauce even once a year. They deserve to be placed in the closest proximity to the severest blast our trump- ets can Mow. Is this as it should be? Have not the College authorities a right to expect enconraginent and aid from those most indebted to their labors? Nay, is not a debt of grati- tude still unpaid by these same graduates! Hut, on the other hand, have the Alumni all tin rights that properly be- long to them as |H rsons naturally most interested in the wel- fare of their Alma Mater! We welcome it as one of the en- couraging signs in the history of collegiate institutions, that these rights have been recognized by some colleges, their charters so amended, (if that is always necessary) that the Alumni are'granted a voice iu the election of trustees, and are represented in that body by some of their own number. It would appear to the uninitiated, that none were better quali- fied for positions on that honorable board. Heretofore the contrary opinion seems to have been the more prevalent, . especially among those in authority. (Is this the reason why undergraduates instinctively feel Unit the Hoard of Trustees are a set of old fogies and not up to the times ? A most un- just accusation no doubt, but the feeling is genuine. The cause we leave for others to investigate.) When will Ken- yon place herself with those wlio have led the van in'this ad- vance ? She can ill afford’ta lose time in taking the proj er steps to accomplish this much desired and necessary reform. Hut the admission of the Alumni to her councils not all tbat is required, to enable Kenyon to take the higher position to whicTi she is justly entitled. Not having l oen called to par- ticipate in the council of sages, of course we know none of the secrets there revealed. This being the case, we can ouly judge of the value of the deliberations there held, by the results as seen iu the public management of these institutions. And what are those results ! The bare existence of a college, the EDITORIAL. 4( endowment of which is large; so we have been led to believe. Its (the colleges), administration vested in a President, changed either every year or every four years (so as to have a variety of talent), assisted by four Professors and a Tutor. A number sufliciciitly larger, we grant, to instruct less than Heeenty students. A. gram mar school with a present attend- ance of a baker’s dozen of boarding pupils. Astonishing re- sults! Is it not enough to raise good old Bishop Chase from his grave to haunt some one, (who?) or an incantation j ower ful enough to extract a nod of disapproval from the mural tablet erected to the Bishop’s memory in Rosse Chapel. We lay the blame at no man’s door in particular, because we know not where in justice it properly belongs; but we cannot re- frain from expressing it as our opinion, that, to put it in a mild way, there is mismanagement nometckerc anti by some one. Year after year passes and there is no increase in tlie number of students. One of the first, if not the first college to be established in the State, Kenyon has been distanced by many in point of numbers—both of students and prbfessors. Of course where there are no pupils, no instructors are needed; and where there are no professors, no students w ill attend. The continuance of such a state of things as has existed for tlm past eight or nine years, can result ill nothing less than the loss of confidence in these Institutions, by a not often dis- criminating public, but, neveitheless, a public which judges and forms its opinions from what is visible and from visible re- sults. Thisis considered to be a college conducted emphatical- ly in the interests of Evangelical Christianity, and for the in- culcation oi Evangelic truths, along w ith the classical and sci- entific courses of study prescribed in the curriculum. Wesup- jM sc this is the generally understood lact. Blit is it imssible that from all the families who profess doctrines in sympathy with the avowed and recognized principles stated above, only seventy young men can be mustered f It would be absurd to think that such is the casi� . Why do we not have a more ex- tensive patronage from the Low-Churchmen of Ohid and neighboring states? Have they interest in spreading and strengthening of what they say they believe to be the truth? “Actions speak louder than words,” is au ancient aphorism. EDITORIAL. 47 but notu the less true on that account. From the Churchmen of Ohio we receive a beggarly modicum of eucouiaging won s and their actions arc proportionately vigorous. Oh, bow w 011- derfully in earnest we all are to extend the influence to in crease the endowment, to give lvenyon t ollegc an emphatic, hearty and liberal support! Verily one would think that such marvellous activity, and such an in tectio us loosening purse strings, would exert a most deleterious client on tin general comfort and easy donothingness of the good peoplt to whom we refer. We see no works as the icsult tini� faith. But why should we limit our expectations to the mem- bers of the Episcopal Church.

But as true sons of our Alma -Mater, we cannot allow such an assertion to remain uncontradicted, or .such an impression to go abroad without a protest.

We have said this much injustice to ourselves� to the College authorities, and to all supporters of the insti- tutions at Cambier. . -
