The Class of Nineteen E class which defeated the Sophomores in the can-rush on the third Saturday in September. 1915, was one of the largest and best that ever took part in that contest at Kenyon. They had the numbers, and proved their quality as time rolled on. The next fall nearly every member of the class returned to college, a very unusual record for a returning Sophomore class But the following spring came the war: and with it the breaking up of the Class of Nineteen. A large number of its members left before the close of the year: still more failed to return in the fall: and one by one they have gone during the passing year, until at present less than a quarter of the original number remain. For the constantly dwindling number of us that continue on the Hill, the outlook is at times a dreary one. When we gather for a meeting most of our classmates are many miles away, some are across the water, and one has already made the supreme sacrifice for the cause of humanity. However, in spite of all this, the Class of Nineteen at Kenyon stands firm and united: determined to carry out all the duties and responsibilities that fall on us as Juniors and upper classmen: resolved that while we are fortunate enough to be able to remain in college, we will do the work that lies before us to the best of our ability, so that we may better serve the world and our country when our time comes to join in the fight for the sacred principles of Freedom and Justice.

He not only has the self-satisfaction of getting each day’s work the way it should be got, but commands the respect of the faculty and those of the “men about town who will give another credit for brains.
