Probably, if we were Freshmen, the task would have been undertaken without the slightest fear of failure,and without the least superabundance of modesty; but, being Seniors, “we know we do not know anything.’} Hence our diffidence. The attention of our readers—the Reveille is sold by sub- scription—is called to the increase of literary productions, which the pamphlet of this year contains, as formerly a Salutation and Editorial were deemed enough; probably, they were. It is for yon to judge. The praise does not belong to us alone for thus leaving the beaten path made by our pre- decessors; but to the Professor of English Literature also, who lias inculcated in us an increased taste for literary exer- cises, both by his precept and example. It is exceedingly proper that our Class, which entered College at the same time that the Professor took his seat among the Faculty, should be the first to take this step in the right direction. 4 SALUTATION. We are glad to be able to say that no changes have taken place among the College officers during the past two years, not because we think the Faculty are the nicest fellows in the world, but we believe coustant changes do not tend to the advancement of the College. During the early years of our College life, we had to be introduced to new Presidents and Professors at the beginning of each term; accordingly the number of acquaintances we have made in this manner is surprising. However, there have been some improvements made in Cambier, which we take pleasure in recounting. The long waited for whistle of the locomotive can almost be heard echoing through the valley of the Kokosing. The completion of the railroad to Cambier was promised by the 1st of December, but it will be a month or two before the track will be laid and trains running to this point. It be- hooves us to mention a change, or rather a reform in this “sweet village.” There has not been a good theological light for a year or more; though such a nice little opportunity .as the “Cheney case” offered, was not allowed to pass unim- proved. The religious precept in Cambier is very different from the religious example. The inhabitants of Gambier “keep the noiseless tenor of their way;” the students still “go supperless to bed;” bills flow in with their accustomed regularity, and the weekly “Sewing Circle” continues to supply the place of a news- paper. Let no graduate, returning to visit College, be afraid that his arrival will he unknown, for the gossips will spread the news like wild-lire, especially if he has been what is termed a “ little fast.” “Charity covers a multitude of sins;” but charity confessed her inability to take the contract for Gambier. SALUTATION. But the brief task imposed upon us must end. We cannot close without speaking of our Class. In many ie pccts it is one of the best classes ever graduated from this institution; in saying this we do not express the sentiments of ourself alone, but those of the Faculty. The College days will long be remembered, and only the pleasant ones. Friendships have been formed here which will bo the most lasting that we shall ever make on this earth. AV hen we look back, we will not see boarding houses, nor think ot the suspicious looks which certain brazen-faced matrons cast upon our drooping eyelids at church, on the mornings aftei Saturday nights; but we will call to mind the “ special recitation in History, and recollect our having helped to “toss the Freshmen’ in September, 1871, and how the President never heard of it. Classmates, we dedicate the results of our labor in prepar- ing the Reveille to you, and will say “jamquc vale. ’ “j lovujvi 'pRQAJ UM.” « - Veni lam’s Lord in days of old, wJfA. With hook so keen and heart as hold, Lopped off excrescences that marred The fair tree of knowledge; and starred, With special vim, the “Idols of Den” As fraught with shame: What hindoreth then Our seizing a pen for floggings likef Not modesty sure! Sophs for a “ strike” Are not more famed, when the bell dies sweet And distant’s the roar of angled feet Round “the corner” wending, than Reveilles For brass. Yes, “cheek” that puffs and swells. Alone, we wot, can suit the taste Of not a few whose names’t were waste To sound, so well they’re known. As sample Thine, 0 youth divine, for example Curls and cards for aye to he proclaimed By clarion’s clang, as well’s for maimed And mangled colts felled low to earth By thy true shot. Ah, at farm-house hearth What wailings must have been! E’en Sony’s Tears must sure have thawed at Lucy’s Rueful plaints, “0 sportsman stern who’d ’spose Thou could’st plant a thorn where once the rose,— Thou, so ‘wondrous fair!’ Alas, what wreck! Thou’st bagged a bird indeed; for to check My flutterings ’twere vain to try! Then Give, pray give, my “pony” back that, when By swiftest flight I’ve ’scaped thy slauglit’riug Face, my woes may end by mournful spring From some Lcucndinn Rock!” Who’d fain Know more, scold Fame, which hero the curtain Drops, nor lifts again, save for one sweet Glimpse,—our Hero at the maiden’s feet, All troubles o’er, while ’twixt his molars “NOVUM ORGANUM.” Pearly glows bright “the weed” by dollar’s Flash ignited. For longer yarn craze Granville’s Fair, whom he did so amaze By his blazing skill at pipe and hat, As well’s in other ways. “For a’ that” We yet must own this youth has one sad Fault, which could we skip we’d be ten) glad; To Virgin worship he’s given By far too much for hope of Heaven. Alack, that Circe-like sylphs should witch With Syren songs so low and rich, This Paris fair; that smiles so coy, Should once again burn up a Troy! But hold, thou quill, reserve thy lire, Yea, let us cease to pluck his heard; (’Tis even now too sparse.) We’ve heard Him roar full oft enough, this “Lion In his den.” Patience now, and we’ll on To a piece of liner clay well tried In lircs of Kenyon Court from “Oxide Slugs” and every sort of gas; tho’ Still, his kindly critics grieve to know, His “brass” gleams brighter than before. Yet haste thee, muse, nor tarry more This Pennsylvanian “hoar” to sing, Lest with huge fang and frightful spring II 5 grind you into dust. “With fear And trembling,” then, low lisp tliee, dear, In whispers under breath, how sobbed “Tho City” at his loss; how throbbed Our hearts with gratitude profound At sight of him; and how, when found That for to civilize us boors Was ho come down, leaped forth from doors And windows too, at cry—“ Heads out,” That thnnd’ring clap and stentor shout That made tho welkin ring, with welcomes Loud, at our Apostle's landing! Beams Next this errant saint o’ Bhenish fame To Prelate’s festive board. All, fine Sight that, like moonlight’s'rain Ik� w splendid, To’ve seen him bow, this beau, while down did Beam from painting’s frame his lustrous Card divine. But hold! For gracious Snkes his idiocrasics deep slough Don’t try to sound, or you’ll drown; for though 8 “NO YUM OR GANUM. We’ve toiled amain, tlio weary “plumb0 Nor base, nor rest bath found. No crumb Of hope, that he’ll amend, our gloom At all allays; then up; his doom Pronounce; his “papers” give! Yet still Our hearts relent and fain would fill This lad’s last cup brimfull with sweets. So then we’ll vouch for luscious treats ’Midst truths and garnered stores, When once you’ve opo’d her golden doors With Senior key. Oh, but wont you joy In your loved “Ego’s” much employ! My eye! You’ll grow of such account. That to the very “star(rh)’s” you’ll mount! Such “feastsof soul” will also warm Fierce Dick the “Duelist’s” stout arm To break a Law—all, oh, pray all That ne’er again those lists may fall On luckless mortal’s nose! “Spare speech,” Howe’er, pack close and tight, you’d filch His precious time! Now, thieves we’re not And so’ll quit quick; this Gordian knot No more we ’ll hack, but only laic “Bisk,”—nor him, save with mild, cleric Tones as seemeth well our lowliness. Good my Lord, may’t please your Holiness, Wherefore such fearful mein and visage Harsh? Thou well art famed for a carriage High; woro’t else, ’twould ill beseem thy rank. But, sure, the MKAT-AX-look that steels Your face and plays from head to heels Round “embonpoint” so very marked Is hardly meet! Who so hath harked To Cheney’s vaunts will sure ne’er rate This showing of a “Bishop’s” trait— Or foible, if you’d rather. But, If that’s the “why” you’re pleased, ne’er shut Blaine’s windows up; nay, let it pour! Welcome, c’re that, the tempest’s roar! Our task’s now done; the glass is run, Or will be in n trice. Not fun Alone hath been our aim ; ah, no! 'flie mirage’s antic scenes soon go— And leave tlf athirst in tears. A thought Sad we’d have some, then, for sins so fraught With shame, as ’hind the organ sneaking, “NOVUM ORGANUM.” 9 While “Prex’’ with Presides soft was speaking Of secrets, hid and dark. Fio on “Blink’s” Goggled eye, if,t couldn’t spy, metliinks, A nook more snug for eaves-droppcPs ear! And now adieux; yet stay tli’ above’s dear Twin to sing, him o’ the ruby head And Hclcnic lino divine! On speed Thee, nimbly, gentle verse, this triad Georgian full to fill with Cap’s glad, Smiling name! Ho, here’s our goal! Not Ste(af )rn We’ll sing, but jocund now; we’ll learn A minstrel lay to vent our joys, Or else some interlude, that cloys Liko those seraphic strains that swell Our chapel arches through with spell As of Orphic lyre. ’Tifl true, O, Choir, thy chants do melt to tears; tlio’ How rapturous more, and now we’re mum If you’d a “Novum Organum!” a oA.9 here is an evil that is not done under the sun. Unlike those known to Solomon, this delights in moonlight or darkness. The student whose bones are broken in his return from the stars, whither he has been shot out of a blanket, knows what we mean. The remedy seems simple. Let the civil law have the same power to protect person and property in College as elsewhere. The student will receive greater satisfaction, if he desires vengeance, in damages assessed by law, than in the expulsion of his tormentors. The common charities of college life sufliciently tax the student, and it may be easier to arrive unexpectedly at home than to obtain money to pay costs and damages. We do not entreat for ourselves the chance of such penal- ties without something in return. Much of the minutia; of college life might bo dispensed with, to the ease of one party and the quiet of the other. The test of honest labor should be the class room and not the manner of spending the re- maining time. Punctuality and order in the divisions of the day are sufliciently taught by the required recitations. The necessary college announcements could be made at a daily prayer, which, it might be impressed on the student, was a religious duty, and not a numbering of the Hock to see if any wanderer might be on that descensus Averni—the road to Mt. Vernon. This implies something broader and more manly than is customary iu our college government. Exactly EDITORIAL. 11 so. Me wislr to see Kenyon greater than she has ever been. With increased facilities for teaching, we wish her to invite men to her halls, assuring them their manhood will be respected. Manhood is even now respected when shown, but childishness is the common development of the present system of marking. We believe in such a time as we speak of more fully than we believe in woman suffrage. Accord- ing to our faith be it done unto us. The true student is your model for life. His way of meet- ing trouble and shirking duty is worthy of imitation. For method he is not responsible, since over this he has no con- trol, and o'nly on compulsion can he be methodical, llis chief merit is submission. Learn from him that “when you must you’d better.” That he lives is proof that any one may live. For with poor dinners, worse breakfasts, and no sup- pers, death would be welcome to common men. The student survives. In resignation more than Christian, he excels. Nine-tenths of each class were once palpitating aspirants for the valedictory. Hut see them, as honors vanish, grow fat and contented. They cease to have a lean and hungry look, and make the most of life. No malice, no revenge, but a profound sympathy for any one who will climb so far for sour grapes. Our college life is as complete as any we shall see in the body; and with all its hopes and failures, high ambitions and petty vexations, it is the most happy. (© S ——— FFICERS OF THE NSTITUTIONS.

Whether the product of the parturiunt monies will be a ridiculus mus; bow many embryonic presidents said class contains, or whether or not they are all doomed to fall into the aurea mediocritas, loved only by poets, are problems for the future to solve. Be this as it may, the Beveillc is proof enough of vigorous existence at present. flie task of chronicler of the events that enliven this little burgh of ours is an easy one. We went to sleep with Hip Van Winkle, and have been unfortunate enough not to wake up with him. The air of half a century ago lingers around the place and seems loath to depart. But a day of retribution cometh; for a railroad is promised to Gatnbier. The shriek of the locomotive will l� e a terrible breaking in on our dolce far uiente dream life; and the advent of papers not more than a day old, will let in all the wicked gossip of the naughty world As children of the old regime we are bound to say, away with the innovation, and let us return to the old days when Koko- siug was not mere Owl Creek; when Bennett reigned supreme, and the intricacies of the Rev. Mr. Chase’s back bone were a warning to innocent Freshmen of the hill beyond, which it takes four years hard toiling to climb. But throwing aside 6 42 EDITORIAL. the poetry, if there be any, iu the old tortuous way, this event will be the most beneficial that has happened to Gam- bier for many a year. Not only in the increased number of students that it is likely to bring to the college, though that is an all important consideration. It will influence for the better those that are here. Life is what we want, and it is also what we have never had heretofore. It is a mistaken policy that builds a college in the woods, iu the vain hope that by shunning the world, immorality can be avoided. The general opinion is that as far as regards Kenyon, the result has been any thing but flattering. Four years associ- ation with none but fellow students, has no very softening effect, and if there is here and there one who stands the test of complete isolation from social restraint, he has simply the virtue of the hermit, which is an unsafe code of morals for this life. The society of the world and the fear of Mrs. Grundy’s opinion, are stronger checks on human infirmities, at least in tlicir outward manifestation, than any collection ot natural scenery; and the gleam of a policeman’s badge inspires mol-e awe in the minds of transgressors than the eye of nature. More people, more intercourse with the world, will bring about a greater reformation here than any amount of expulsion has been able to do. The Faculties remain as they have been for some time past, and arc gaining more and more in the respect and good will of the students. Unless Kenyon takes one of those Augean cleansing fits which she was prone to iu former years, they bid fair to spend a life of usefulness as her preceptors. Our new chapel is finished, and when we say that it far surpasses in beauty any of mtr other justly noted buildings, old Kenyoniles will appreciate the labors of those who worked so hard to get it. EDITORIAL. Jj.3 % And these are all the new things under the sun for the past year. According to the “traditions of the elders,” it now remains for the editors to find fault with existing affairs. But happily there is no need to perform the duty this year. Kenyon has never seen harder work, better government and obedience, better morals and more flattering prospects for the future, than at present. The improvement is partly owing to the fact that here, as well as in some other American colleges, “the powers that be” aie finding out that it is safer to rely on the honor of students, than to put implicit trust in the virtues of rustication and dismission. One of two things we do need however. Either a distinct scientific department, or an elective course in college to somewhat fill its place. The want of this has heretofore made Kenyon inferior in point of nuuiliers to many colleges whose literary standing is far below hers. American tastes are eminently unclassical, and a large proportion of students seek some place where some- thing more suited to the wants of every day life, than Homer or Tacitus, is taught. Those who were wise enough to pro- vide for the cultivation of this taste, reap all the benefits. As long as popular opinion remains as it is, science should at least go hand in hand with the classics. Let our Alumni consider this and endow the college with a full scientific faculty, instead of having one or two professors for the whole department, as is now the case. The good results will soon be seen in fuller classes. And now readers, gentle, fair or not; lovers of all that pertains (o old Kenyon and the Hill, our duty as an author is finished; the pipe is out. r 1 I 5 t 1Z
