SALUTATION, ALUTATION is put at the head of my paper and I am bidden to write to that text. As at the meeting of old friends every thing, for the time being, gives place to the grasp of the hand and the glad exclamation w How d’you do?’' so the honor of occupying the front page of the Reveille is yielded to this humble (and, in itself, worthless) production. Here I stand in front of my modest brother editors, make a low bow and announce to every student and friend of Kenyon that we are here—did any one cheer? But this labored simile, in accounting for my for- wardness, takes it for granted that the Reveille will be welcomed as a friend. Be it so ; then we may proceed. I suppose it is needless to tell our readers that Old Father Time, in his rapid flight, has passed another milestone (i. e. that another year has passed); that ’73 aliis propriis volavJJ and the noisy flap of their wings has ceased; and that ’74 has at last reached the front ranks. Yes, we arc at last Seniors and, what is more, editors. If the editorial pen does not well become us (or, more properly, we it), we excuse ourselves by saying, “we won’t do so again.” We have labored to improve the Reveille and believe we have done it, and demand you to think so. ’Tis true we cannot fill its pages with the names of more students than are really in attendance. Would that it was in our power to attract students to Kenyon. We are sorry that we cannot tell our Alumni and patrons of an increase in number; we see no improvement.. When Miami University closed we hoped to be the gainers. Other colleges in the State received quite a number of students from that quarter, Kenyon not one. Why so? Some time ago, when it was rumored that Gambier was to have a railroad, wc were all overjoyed. Every one was confident that this connection with the rest of mankind would swell the number of students to a hundred, at least. The
