NOW all men by these greetings, that we, the Editors of The Reveille, in order to promote •Q brotherly affection, to establish virtue - and good morals, to insure domestic tranquility, to promote intellectual culture, to provide for our common defense, and, last of all, to secure the blessings of all those of whom we have made hon- orable mention (and all others), do ordain and publish The Reveille for the Senior Class of Kenyon College and all others who have an insatiable desire for knowledge. It would be a superfluous task to undertake an apology for our shortcomings. As independence has ever been a characteristic of our Class, so in this case we assert it. We have never considered ourselves infallible, therefore we do not think that we are altogether free from the faults and foibles which have characterized former editors. If pleased with our effort, it is fortunate for you; if not, we shall perhaps live as long and be as happy. If we have been so unfortunate as to present none of our many characters in a different light from the one in which they have been accustomed to look upon them- selves, we have surely failed in our attempt. We have not generally said as much as we think, but take it for granted that a hint to the wise is sufficient. We are sorry to inform you that no new cases of honesty have come 5 Salutatio. under our notice in Gambier of late, so that we have been unable to devote any space in “our little book” to that purpose. Rumor says that Dame Gossip still sways the minds of the credulous burghers. However this may be, we have never yet felt the effects of her backbiting. Amusements have become so few of late that students have had to resort to “stag” dances; but since we have a new professor in the Chair of Evidences, the students are becoming very scrupulous, and will no longer keep step to stringed instruments in round dances. Besides, it has put such a check on theatre-going that the Kenyon Theatre has suffered a severe loss during the past winter, and has been compelled to disband for the remainder of the season. When we consider the evil results attending theatre-going, and that there was a time when it was per- mitted by the president of Kenyon College, we are forced to exclaim, uO tempora! O mores ” How fortunate it is that we do not live in such an age, but can repose under the genial influence of Christianity. “ Here do we hand this book to thee, With all its faults and ailings, And hope some, merit you may see In words so fraught with failings. “Then take the book we hand to thee, Peruse each sentence well; Perhaps some beauty there may be, On which your mind will dwell. We return thanks to the poet C. M. Roberts, for his kind new in allowing us the privilege of selecting tbc above stanzas from his poems.— Eds. 6 t 7 jfacuKj! of 1,ieujion College. Rkv. WM. B.

K 3 (Class of 1877. “ Four revolutions of Hie sun We ve numbered slowly one by one. In which we 've climbed those heights sublime, Where dwelt the Bards of long past time, And sung those songs, and learned that lore, Which wc shall sing and know no more.” GAIN have the Fates importuned us to write our immortal names on the scroll of fame, and to append thereto a short disquisition on the i emptiness of earthly glory, that posterity and the rest of mankind may read, mark, learn, and in- wardly digest the words of those who have attained the earthly goal of human greatness. We are called “the choice and masterspirits of this age,” and though conscious of the fact, there is no tendency on our part to give an extra twirl to our moustaches. The classic walls of u Old Kenyon ” may cast their kindly shadows on her hundreds of succeeding classes; centuries may come and go, but when the moss and the earth have fallen from the tablet whereon our deeds have been engraven, future generations will stand up and say to all the world, this was a class. Naturally enough we have by this time got a little Rusty in our Greek, and the once 32 Class of 1877. well known forms of Math and Cicero, through the flight of years, are fast growing shadowy, yet our Profs love us, for, It came to pass in the forty-seventh year of the College and the sixth year of the reign of the Philosopher, that there was a great war in the College, and the “ Sophs arose in meeting. And they tossed the verdant Freshies and bade defiance to the Philosopher and to all them that bore him aid. And Billy Wright was a righteous youth and peached, and except Billy peached did the Philosopher and his wise men know nothing of it. And when the Philosopher heard of it he was very wroth and said, I will send off these students, yea, I will send them away from off the “ Hill,” and there shall be weeping, and wailing and gnashing of teeth. And the Phi- losopher gathered together his wise men, and held a council, and the council was long and loud. And the wise men were divided, and halted long between two opinions, but their counsel prevailed over that of the Philosopher. And they said, yea, in no wise shall we cast them out, for they arc to us as flowers in the desert, as water to the thirsty traveler, tut we will give them twenty marks and unmatriculatc them. And the Philosopher sent for all those who were doomed, and said unto them, It is not well to war; so let there be peace between ye and me; accept ye as a punishment tor your misdeeds twenty marks, and be ye unmatriculated dur- ing my pleasure; and from that day peace reigned in the house of the Philosopher. And Billy Wright was “ boss ” among all the “ Freshies.” But years would not suffice in which to write the merits of each individual of our noble class, in fact each man is an individual merit. With all our virtues we are conscious of a few failings. We are but mortal, and what mortal is perfect! We know that we come as near perfection as is righteous that we should. Therefore, know- ing well that no evidence beyond the present issue of our “ little pet ” is required, we forbear to stir up the gentle mind of our reader with the unostentatious declaration, that, “It will be long ere Kenyon shall breed our fellow.” Sic transit gloria Collegii Kenyonensis.

I) now, O Juniors, hearken and give ear unto us, for our responsibility does heavily burden us. Advice we would not assume to give, but a few suggestions may surely profit you. Permit us to kindly hint that your number is small, and your merits are in proportion. But this need not dishearten you. Assume virtues if you have none. Keep constantly before you this fact—that you will perhaps sometime be Seniors, and that the levity which now so little becomes you will then be ridiculous. Remember that much yet must be done before you will be prepared to enjoy the “otium eum dignitate” of Seniors. With much more application in the future than has characterized you in •the past, you may in your turn be permitted to perform the same thankless task that now devolves upon us. We expect the transition state, in your case, from Juniors to Seniors, to be wonderful. This is a progressive age, and, fortunately for ’78, it is the only one in which the origin of the Class could be explained. 35 Class of 1878. On this Class partly depends the destiny of the Evolution theory. If the members of this Class make men then surely the Evolution theory is established, and we are compelled to admit that something, even men, may conic from nothing. But it is not our purpose to predict what will be the destiny of this Class. There are, doubtless, strange things in the future. Neither of us is prophet of ‘77, therefore we cannot read the future; and although we can readily compute knowledge of Lunar and Solar eclipses and the perturbations of the planets, we have not sufficient astrology to map out the future for you. We can only base our calculations on facts, and, judging from them, we have not sufficient data to give you much encouragement. Officers of 1878. duuy.iofxs to. apiara. OFFICERS OF 1878. C. M.

T last we are Sophomores. Sophomores! How gloriously it would sound if it were not for the derived meaning of the word. We can boast the largest class in College, even though we have not the required amount of manhood. According to the Profs’ standard of right we are also the best. We never do anything to provoke our Professors, except when they do not let us off of recitations. Actually we would not adjourn on the Greek Prof., although he was very tardy. Our Alma Mater has shown her appreciation of our faithfulness in giving us the “ Baby ” to nurse. By request of the majority of the Faculty we have allowed all the old college customs to die on our hands. We began in our Freshman year to do what we ought not to have done, and to leave undone the things we ought to have done, viz: we took a holiday instead of having “ Bore-Day.” Some say we took 38 Class of 1879. it because we were too lazy to carry on “Bore-Day;' but the fact is, we did not have the back-bone to do it. We have acted on this principle in a much greater degree during the present year. Our chief duty, that of paying marked attention to the Freshmen, has been neglected. 'The Fresh- men have been able to write home “Don’t get hazed; carry a cane; don’t wear a plug hat, but will if 1 want to. One reason why we have neglected this duty is that, in the begin- ning, the Freshies dampened our spirits. We are said to have too many Ayers, and to be quite soft. The latter would seem to be a contradiction, as we have Wood for our centre; but it is soft Wood. We hope some day to be Seniors. Some of us have already begun to fill some of their places; namely, under their cast-off plug hats. If by means of a good deal of “codding,” at which some of us are very expert, we succeed in getting through this year, you may hear from us again. Officers of 1879. Fratrem ne desere frater.

E tremble-with inexpressible embarrassment to think the duty of presenting to you a des- cription of these embryotic geniuses devolves upon us. Our Freshmen days have not vanished from our memories into eternal oblivion, but have stamped upon the tablets of our history marks that we shall never deem fit to erase. Were it com- patible with our well-merited conceit, we should not hesitate to say that ’So has already manifested qualities that will, when fully developed, surpass any powers to which previous classes have attained. But relieve us of this terrible con- cession ! We desire to do justice to every one, and there- fore let us give them their dues without drawing comparisons. One morning at the approach of early dawn was disclosed to the weary eyes of the many who passed the previous night in dread and anxiety, a scene most shocking in its aspect — a woman suspended to the College steeple. Zephyrus, taking compassion upon her helpless condition, at various intervals proclaimed to the sorrowing multitude below that she was wrapped in the stripes of her country’s flag. And still no power, not even His Episcopal Majesty, dared interpose and prevent such base and ignominious deeds. Not till the Sophs began to use their persuasive powers did these Freshies come to time. And the remedy administered was k 4 Class of 1880. of a very persuasive nature. The Freshies began to think the Almighty had retracted His promise, and had resolved to curse the earth with another deluge, so they betook them- selves into the old ark for refuge. But we cannot hesitate to say that their submission has been for the better, when their efforts since have been directed in the path of enlightenment. Their chief study has been the dictionary without the definitions, more tech- nically called spelling. This study they have pursued with unusual zeal, much to their own edification, and more to the English Professor’s comfort. That the minds which were once absorbed in wicked thoughts alone could be induced to flow in the channels of soft affection, is something almost incredible; but when two Freshmen are observed promenading the “middle path,” each with his arm around the other, what else arc we to believe? However, if such be the case, we cannot but admire such manliness. Freshmen, were it possible for you to appreciate such advice as we might offer, nothing would be spared to furnish you with an ample supply. We only hope you will never again presume so far upon the leniency of the Sophs as to wear plug hats to church Such performances excite the indignation of the ever wakeful Sophs, and the result is that Gambier’s holy atmosphere is contaminated with hideous and discordant sounds. In closing, let us exhort you not to assume, but to aspire to, the dignities which become Seniors only. In three years more your turn will come to edit The Reveille, and then you can look back upon the past, and realize the fact that “You, as Freshmen, came to Kenyon In a very verdant state. ” Officers of 1880.

JOSIAII HOLMES- The Theological Seminary of the Diocese of Northern Ohio is now in full blast. It was re-opened two years ago, with the promise of two students. Last, year it had one, and by the careful nursing of him it now has four. We expect that under the “Bishop's religious supervision of the College their numbers will be increased next year. ittsance. N this age, wonderful in its characteristics, it seems the result of wild imagination to say that demoniacal monsters roam in our little Mv village. This age does not recognize supersti- tious ideas as else than absurdities, and sadly dis- courages the belief that ghosts, come to disturb the peaceful rest of the earth, are the ruling monsters of the night. And yet some of the many so fortunate as to live in this period of enlightenment deviate so far from sound judgment as to believe that certain houses are haunted; that ghosts inhabit them, and disturb their stillness with hideous noises. Such ideas were entertained not long since with regard to Rosse Hall, by those minds most sus- ceptible of temporary excitement. It is true that they were not deceived entirely, for a short time ago peculiar, monoto- nous sounds did emerge from the stately walls of that old building. We were often attracted by such an invasion upon our quiet routine, and frequently paused upon the path to comment on the strange sounds, and to conjecture as to their origin. Fortunately for the public we did not possess excitable minds, and looked at the matter in a sensible way. Some thought the sound similar to the bray of an ass, and, as almost a week had elapsed since Rosse Hall had been used, thought it might be a joke perpetrated by some “naughty boys ” upon the Faculty. To show the difference of opinions we would remark that others likened the sound 62 An Unmitigated Nuisance. unto that of a helpless child trying to attract somebody's attention by its feeble voice. Rut guess-work could not solve such a puzzling problem. Inquiry was made, and satisfaction obtained. It was only a student cultivating his voice. He had hired the Hall, and every evening spoke to a seated audience. It was a source of deep regret that Professor Kidd did not remain with us longer to see the rules he laid down take root and grow. However, our spirits have been revived, since one has been found whose efforts alone are sufficient to assure for us in the future a proficient instructor of elocution,— almost, if not entirely, Kidd’s equal. We arc “almost persuaded” to enter the 'rheological Seminary next year, not especially to receive the instruction it may afford (for that would be, comparatively, of little importance), but to linger near that melodious voice of Kenyon’s future Professor of Elocution, and under its sway- ing powers to mount to a higher point of elocutionary glory than time has ever experienced. Like all other elocutionists he does not believe in too fre- quent and sudden variations of tone, as is well manifested by his singing at church. Not being able to jump so suddenly from a low to a high note, and then back again, he just stays down, and waits for the choir to come back. Rut while he is resting so basely upon his low note, the rules of acoustics for producing harmony are undergoing serious violation. Whether declamatory responses in church are evidences of deep devotion, our future Professor of Elocution probably knows. If actions are means of propagating one’s thoughts, we take it he thinks so. On this point of his profession we differ with him, and make it stronger than differing by add- ing that we somewhat object to being interrupted in our devotions by the pompous tones of one who seems to think more of his voice than of his religion. RUST’S GREEK PROSE COMPOSITION. think that we would not fully do our duty as Editors were we to omit the mention of Rust’s Greek Prose Composition. The author has dis- played very fine taste in his selections, and has succeeded admirably in astonishing poor Freshmen with big Greek words which he has taken so much pains to select from various Greek grammars. We are of the opinion that the Professor made a mistake in translating any of the Greek sentences in his book, for we are quite sure that the Fresh- men would have made a more graceful rendering of them for themselves. Before we commenced the publication of “our little book ” we asked ourselves, Is there any advantage to be derived from such a work? and the reply being unanimously in the affirmative, we at once set about the task. But, unfortunately for Prof. Rust, we fear he never asked himself this question. When we consider the matter we are forced to exclaim, with the preacher, “ Vanity of vanities, all is vanity.” 64 Literary Notes. TAPPAN’S GEOMETRY AND TRIGONOMETRY. 1 hough almost ten years have elapsed since the pub- lication of Prof. Tap pan’s Geometry and Trigonometry, it is still, we believe, a new publication to most of our readers. W c are not surprised at this. It is quite probable that we should never have examined the work ourselves had ft not been forced upon our notice. We think the work, artistically considered, is quite a success. Just how it would rank with other mathematical works we will not at present say; but we think that a gravity of thought and expression characterizes it which would better qualify the author for writing an epic poem than a mathematical work. The imagination displayed in it indicates that the author inclines to be flighty — another requirement for writing poetry. A new and revised edition of this work will appear before the public in a short time, but it has not yet been submitted to us for criticism. F 65 t ortu!!! ERA OF REFORM IN KENVON.

OF FRAUDS. submissively follow. Old students well know that where cats sleep the mice will play, and that in examination when Profs sleep students will—to use a term lately bor- rowed from Germany—smouch. None of our readers, per- haps, more fully comprehend this fact than our present Faculty. Whereupon, in body assembled, on the 9th day of March, A. D. 1877, they did adopt, in substance, the fol- lowing rule from Washington and Lee University: “ Do ) JCN this age of reform our readers will not be surprised to learn that if Old Kenyon cannot lead she will A Reform ! Reform !! Reform !!! aid in this examination; and, furthermore, that you will use no unlawful means in passing the same?” A copy of the above is given to each student to sign previous to examin- ation, and he, of course, signs his name and says, “I do.” No student, we believe, ever passed through college with- out knowing the deleterious effects of carding and using unfair means in examinations. We are very glad the Fac- ulty have taken decided action to put a stop to all unfair means used in examinations, but we do not approve of the course they have adopted to bring about the required result. We do like originality, and we fear that a Faculty who would infringe on a sister institution by using her rules would, if placed in the capacity of student, borrow from his neighbor in examinations. We would like to see the Faculty “paddle their own canoe,” and not make innovations on Southern institutions. We feel quite sure that the Faculty did not fully consider this matter, or they would have exercised some ingenuity to devise some other method than the one adopted. We have often been surprised at the rapidity with which news spreads here on the Hill. And then the medium through which it is transmitted is of such a nature as to magnify all reports. Three days theorizing and spinning of fine-haired distinctions is long enough time to throw thoughts into such a shape that they may be evolved by the pulpit orator in tones loud enough to drown seven Roman funerals.
