PARET, FRANK P. HOWE. immm EDITOBIyU, X presenting to Lehigh University students and Lehigh ' s friends the first issue of The Epitome, a few words of in- troduction may serve to show the causes that have led to its publication, and prevent any misunderstanding as to its charac- ter and mission. In the past few years no feature in the history of our American colleges has been more striking than the astonishing interest that has been developed in athletic sports. Having its origin among the students, at the outset in many colleges frowned upon by the authorities, the enthusiasm has gradually spread, until now student and professor alike anxiously await the news from Saratoga or hear with joy or sorrow of the victory or defeat of their college nine. Instead of having obstacles thrown in the way of their sports, the fortunate students of to-day have the cooperation of the college authorities. Gymnasiums have been multiplied, until now there is scarcely a well-equipped college in the country which has not one, and a striking illus- tration of the importance that is now attached to this portion of a college paraphernalia is found in the fact, that if a college can- not advertise that it has gymnasium de facto, it is sure to have one in prospectu. The above is a prominent though single illustration of the fact that the public is daily growing more and more in sympathy with student life and student sports, daily recognizing more and more clearly the fact that there is much in a college course be- yond the mere curriculum of studies. A young man in deciding where to spend the four best years of his life, may properly con- sider well all pros, and cons. Other things being equal, shall he not wisely choose in selecting that college for his Alma Mater, where, the day ' s work done, facilities for healthful sport surround him. where a glowing college spirit prevails, evidenced by live societies, reading room, athletic organizations and other similar signs of a good college tone ? It is the recognition of the important bearing of such influ- ences upon the growth of an institution, that has led to the publication of annuals at many of our colleges. Public spirited students have sought by this means to lay before the public, that important branch of the course of education, that catalogues never can show, the real college life itself. Ami now among this list of honorable publications our modest little • Epitome for the first time asks a place. It does not claim to he a literary publication: that is not its genius. The causes that have led to its birth demand of it that it shall be simply an honest exponent of all our college organizations, and this, kind reader, is all we have sought to make it. Ere dropping our editorial quill, a few words of explanation to those who will compare our athletic organizations with those of other colleges. In fairness please remember, that Lehigh University is essentially a SCIENTIFIC school. That large class from whose ranks are mostly drawn our boating and our ball men, those who having both time and money go to college as much for the culture derived from college life as from the course of study, is wholly wanting at Lehigh. This class rarely finds 4 its way into scientific schools. As is well said in the New Education, The student in a polytechnic school has a practical end constantly in view; he is training his faculties with the ex- press object of making himself a better manufacturer, engineer, c. Instead of boating and base-ball, our exercise consists largely in surveying, laying out railroad curves and the like; athletic sports serving only as a reserve with which to occupy the few idle moments that an unusually severe course permits us to call our own. With these few words of explanation we think we have cause to be proud of the condition of our different organ- izations. The Class Histories show what has been done in athletic sports. The Engineering Society has lately shown unmistakable signs of renewed activity. The Chemical and Natural History Society proposes to treat us again this year with one of their exceptionally good courses of lectures. And the Junto is likely to rise from its ashes, not like the Phoenix, still as a Phoenix, but with another plumage in the form of a Reading Room. She will be hailed with joy in her new form by many students who have long seriously felt the want of a first-class reading room. Our brief editorial life has about expired. Yet ere our demise, we commend to succeeding classes the tender sprout planted by the hand of 78. Cherished by your fostering care, may she grow to be a noble tree, under whose, wide spreading branches may many come to slake their thirst from Lehigh ' s fount of knowledge. iOARD OF RUSTEES T The Right Rev.

I most humbly beg the pardon of the University — I should have said scientific shades; for arc we not at a modern scientific Dotheboy ' s Hall, where ingenious youths arc boarded, bedded, cleaned and crammed with the isms of the age in addition to the daily dose of obnoxious treacle which is forced down their throats, whether it comes in the appalling shape of Freshman Logic, springing upon theirawe- stricken spirits some fearfully illicit process of Major; as Sopho- more Descriptive ' ' with its bewildering maze of points of sighl , revolving planes and auxiliary lines : as the jovial and seductive tetartohedral forms of the Hexagonal System stealing the hearts of the captivated Juniors : or as the mirth-provoking and jaw- breaking phalanx that pounces from Wohler upon the unsus- pecting organic chemist. But in allowing my mind to fondly recur to these bygone joys. I have been carried away from my subject: Tin: Origin, Doings and Renown of 75. 14 According to Darwin (if it is not in Darwin it should lie.) or as the Latin primer. has it, Antiquissimus temperibiis 75 in mundo venit. This is ail I have- hoard in regard to the genesis of this species which later writers named 75. Since then it has conducted itself with honor. Not having time to trace its lescent through the bygone ages, 1 will begin at the time it entered Lehigh University. From the day of its entrance ' 75 showed that it fully merited the motto which now benignly looks down upon the Freshmen from the banner on the Chapel wall. ft was indeed Crux Professorum, and yet it is a cross of which the Dii majores minoresque of the Faculty meeting may be proud. What pluck it showed in determining not to be extinguished by the vigorous weeding yearly applied l y the powers that he. I may name in particular the unblushing con- fidence in the right and fervent determination to get through, that impelled the pugnacious Z to return at the beginning of each year, with his hack lessons made up, after having heen dismissed at the commencement of the previous one. lie was our only comet, and during the first part of his college life, the eccentricity of his orbit was so great that his stay with us during each revolution was of brief duration, and Ins brilliant light was soon hidden under the extinguisher of the Faculty. Yet no one graduates with more honor than he. No more will Meaker correct the exuberant Lathrop with the time-worn bed slat; it now reposes in peace; dust has settled on its rounded outline. No more will the streets of this sleepy burgh resound to the gentle voice of Mac. No more will the grin of II he seen on the esplanade, showing too plainly his idea of Dulce est furere amicis. As we go about these familiar haunts, we sing to ourselves — Lochabar do inure. Maybe to return Lochabar no more, while the echo gives hack the mournful strain, no more. I saw along, gaunt man the other day whose head was al- ready beginning to show the polishing effect of Time ' s rapid 15 footsteps. He was pointed out to me asa married man; J gazed on lineaments that seemed familiar, and when the genial torn - of our old class leader issued from his lips, I exclaimed, ' So changed — can this be Little Bill who bucked the hull off the bridge? It was too true. The P. R. R. had absorbed him. ' The man who could .whip his weight in wildcats started off to seek his fortune. And the story runs that he has been doing some tall leveling in the- North, so that the street Arabs of Wilkesbarre shout see me as he passes. P of ' Big South American Bonanza, is peddling soap- fat in Jersey City. During the Winter he will act as drummer for a soup-house in New York. Give him a call when you arc- there. The long and weedy S will not accept the position of Secretary of the Interior, should it be offered him, but will con- tinue to study for the Bar. The Seidersvillian is now on one of the P R. R. chain gangs. The Rapid Transit Man started for Lehigh fromhis home in Southern New York sunn- time in August, in order to be on time. Accurate calculations (carried to five places of decimals) based upon the celerity of his movements observed and tabu- lated while he was here, will bring him in our midst in time to eat the Christmas goose and sauer kraut in Christmas Hall. While here we felt that our work was not in vain — we al- ways allowed the Colossus of Rhodes his little five minutes, and then firmly and tearfully cut him. How often has th drawing-room, under the sunny smile of our agile instructor, become the scene of countless side showe not in the programme — especially during the time we were initiated into the mysteri - of the Sphcrico-Plano-Concavo-Diabolical Wing Wall. How have we pored over Warren until our sleep has been invaded by direful beasts with epicycloidal teeth engaging most exactly with one another, hastening to our destruction. During our brief work at the Huckleberry Extension of the 16 N. P. R. R.,we did our work well; and in Mine Surveying, L acquired an ease and grace in riding the rake that will be of infinite service to him in future years. We were never known to be without an excuse for ab- sence, and the historian in looking over the mass of excuse papers filed away in the dusty archives of the University, has found that for diversity of malady, and rapidity of attack on the slightest provocation, 75 stands unequaled in the college world. How often has neuralgia, nervous or sick headaches and cholera morbus ( under different disguises ) marked us for their own. It has been to the historian a subject of wonder and con- gratulation, that this band of frail, disease-shattered bodies, man- aged to drag itself through four years, marked by such direful epidemics, and graduate a set of able-bodied men. You must pardon me if I have been needlessly prolix. This is the last time 75 will appear in print in this most renowned periodical, and it is hard to say good-bye. Yet we trust Tho ' we have left forev ' r this joyous scene, Our worthy deeds will keep our inem ' ry green. 17 £lh ' 76. Jo EADER ! Doff your hat ! whilst in imagination you arc pr - i sented to one of the finest classes it ever becomes the prov- ince of the Historian to chronicle. We bring to your mind ' s eye a dignified body, and shall endeavor to the best of our ability to treat it in a dignified manner. The Class as a body might be desig- nated as a heavy corporation, and as regards appearances — but hold : Our modesty will not permit us to go further. However, think ! think of facial beauty in its grandest forms, then try to im- agine something still more beautiful, and you have the effect that would be produced on you by the combined physiognomy of the Class. As regards energy it is safe to affirm that the 76 is the most enterprising class that ever entered the portals of Lehigh, and that in the pursuance of study, of athletic sports, and all the exercises incident to college life, her men have excelled, that is as a class body. But to retrograde, the class entered in 1872 with an aggregate of 40. At the time of entering there was prob- ably nothing to distinguish them from ordinary Freshmen, un- less it was their good looks, and the absence of all hazing on account of their being rather a ' bad crowd to tackle. The first year passed swiftly by with nothing of importance to mark its flow until the last day, when the Class marked their Fresh- men epoch by a burial of Rhetoric, thus inaugurating the ens- 18 torn at Lehigh, it being its first observance here. Surely the grim old tiees must have lifted their green arms in wonder at the mys- terious rites going on under their protecting shelter, and the moaning night winds must have carried a strange tale that night as it swept on its hurrying course. 72 and ' 73! To-day a poor unnoticed worm. A metamorphosis, and to-morrow behold the emerging butterfly. The despised Freshmen have changed into wise Sophomores, and the Class nose reaches an elevation about two degrees higher than before. In this year the Class gave fur- ther token of their enterprise by starting a College paper known as the Lehigh Journal. ' It also held a burial of Logic which proved an immense success, for notwithstanding the dark and stormy night, the terraces were lined with people. This was the last burial held by the Class of 76; but the burial system thus inaugurated has been taken up by the other classes, and is now a recognized custom. The Class also tried to start an Athletic Association, comprising the Gymnasium, Boat Club and all athletic sports. The enterprise was started on a large scale, and the subscriptions amounted to some thousands; but very u nfortunately, and owing to no mismanagement on the part of the students, the project failed. Another year of college life gone and 7(3 ' ' are Juniors. In this capacity they started the idea of having a Semi-Annual ( ' lass Reunion, holding the first Class Supper at the Eagle Hotel on the 21st of December. Per- haps it would not be amiss to mention here an incident which occurred in this year as an example of the many interesting and often humorous adventures which occur at College. One cold, chilly afternoon in Fall, the Civil Engineers in the Class were engaged in making a hydrographical survey of the Lehigh River. They were at work from two till five o ' clock, and the disagreeable feelings brought on by the raw and uncomfortable weather, were not at all allayed by handling a chain coated with ice, or an accidental immersion of their lower extremities in the cold waters of the river. There was a great deal of shivering, l ' .t some very blue faces, and alas! that we have to record it, some very strong language used on the river bank that afternoon, which did not, however, better matters any ; but to cut a long story short, the whole thing terminated in a determination to cut at four. The hour having at last arrived, found the in- structor, Mr. A , together with the chainmen, concealed from the rest of the corps by an intervening bend of the river. The chainmen very shrewdly started hack to re-measure a line, and when out of Mr. A ' s sight, folded their chain, and silently departed with the rest of the party, who having gained the top of the bank took to practical engineering, and made tracks. Mr. A having by this time also gained the top of the bank sighted the fleeing party, and did his level best to stop them, but at that moment the party seemed strangely hard of hearing, and paid no attention to the calls and shouts which followed them. The party having reached the depot, drew all the heat out of two or three stoves, and were making themselves comfortable, when they were startled by the apparition of an exasperated instruc- tor, half frozen, breathless with rapid walking, and breathing terrible threats against the Junior Engineers. It is probably not necessary to state that as he came in one door the class waltzed out of the other, Grif. and Pete leading the van, while Evans ' big boots were clattering along in close proximity to their heels. Walt, had business with some one in the telegraph office, and Ed. had to hurry over the river to see his father. Kind reader, let us draw the curtain here ; but if you have ever been to college you can appreciate the situation of the corps, and the diplomacy, tact and squirming necessary to extract them- selves from the scrape. In this year, intelligence reached the class of the death of Harry Eastman, one of the old members, and at one time president of the class. He was at this period attending the Naval Academy, but left on sick leave and expired at his home in Washington, D. C, in the month of February. Harry was a good scholar and well beloved by his class. This is the only member that the class has lost by death. 20 To close. The class is now in its Senior year, and stands on the world ' s threshold, and though as a class she will soon cease to exist, yet the memories which cluster around her will always he sacred to her members, and the tew happy days of the future will serve to recall the associations and pleasures of the four years at Lehigh. Though the Class History here ends, yet the history of its members is still to he traced, not with the pen, hut by the results achieved by them in the great future of their lives. Historian. 21 Si tofy of Clk$ ' 77- luj HAT is asked for? What is expected ? A history of our HPT Class. How shall we begin ? It would be incomplete un- less we began at the beginning. Some of us came into this little world of ours as Preps., others as Freshmen, while a few dared to join us as Sophomores. Who can forget the day upon which we became a College class? Who can forget with what throbbing hearts and silent tread we entered chapel on Monday, Sept. 1, 1873, with what awe we listened to the reading of the many Rules, and our good res- olutions to obey them? None of us can. As Freshmen, we numbered forty-lour. Our course during the year was a very jolly one, our members showing a strong propensity for returning home We were well treated by the higher classes, and now go hand in hand with our respected Seniors. Being Freshmen, we tried hard to learn college manners and college airs, and succeeded in the end in assuming that pecu- liar look so characteristic of college boys. But here must we pause, as it becomes our sad duty to record the death of our brother Freshman, John Jay Childs, of Erie, Pa., who was removed from our midst while in the full vigor of health. Never can we forget the solemnity and sorrow we experienced at the first death among the famous 44, but we work on wondering who will be the next to be gathered to Him who does all for the best. 2-2 Thirty of us returned as Sophomores, rejoicing that we were no longer Freshies, and bright were the hopes and expecta- tions with which we began our second year. Much hard work was accomplished by our class during this period. We con- stantly remember the delight witli which we attended our reci- tations in Literature, and the polite and unwearying kindness of our Professor ; and the time and labor expended on our topo- graphical maps cannot be forgotten. Nor can we pass unmen- tioned the gratifying portion of our annual survey — that portion embracing the river and islands, and how we were daily encour- aged in our work by the not distant presence of the fairer sex, and how we were spurred on by the heroic conduct of ' ' Country, both ashore and afloat. We must also note the 77 (. ' hiss Banquet held last June. Never was there a better one partaken of by a class at Lehigh University. Never reigned more unison, good will, and class feeling than was there with 77. The speeches that were made, and the songs that were sung on that occasion, still ring in our ears, as does the Rah-rah. rah-rah, L. U. — ' 77. ' which closed the first half of our college course, and ushered us under the mantle of Juniorship. To you as Juniors your Historian bows, and offers his con- gratulations upon the attainment of this distinction. Though ' 77 now has but twenty, still she firmly holds her position as one of the best classes ever at Lehigh. Bravely, boldly and faithfully do her men stride on towards sheepskins, and we wish that we may all leave with handles to our names. Now a few words as to our present condition. An even dozen of those who entered Freshmen remain with the class. We have representa- tives from seven States of the Union, from Japan and Brazil. Our class organization has always been a good one. Our worthy hair-pin President is an honor to his class, being both popu- lar and hardworking, while our honorable Vice President is com- promising, exceedingly studious and orderly ; our Secretary is very devoted to his duties, and our excellent Treasurer in every way worthy of the trust imposed on him, is a thorough gentle- man and one of the smartest students the University ever had. And lastly is the Historian, who has tried to have things right up to the handle, 1 ' and if he has failed, kind reader, please accord it to ignorance and not to lack of intention. Ever remembering that he has tried hard to live up to the class motto, Fortiter — Fidel it i ;• — Frfiriter. HlSTOIUAN. frit floii ' il ■i X Si tofy of C k ' 78. iN the 1st of September, 1874, an observant stranger might have picked out the Class of ' 78, had he chosen to come to the University, from the groups of other students which had gathered here and there upon the college campus. They stood without the door of Packer Hall, timidly viewing the other and older students and exchanging a few remarks among themselves relative to the lessons of the day. A sort of bashful- ness or timidity, caused by their ignorance of the life before them, seemed to enshroud them, and between them and the other students there seemed an impassable barrier. This feel- ing gradually wore off, however, and they became as familiar with each other and the other classes as if they had all been students together for years. This feeling of ease came more quickly on account of the bearing of the other classes, who treated the Freshies very kindly, never evincing the slightest desire to haze them, which, however, probably took its rise from the elegant amount of muscle displayed by the Class, in athletics and on other occa- sions. The class, as a body, soon settled down to work and proved their fitness for the life before them by their steady ap- plication to the work assigned. Thus affairs went along quietly, with few ripples to disturb them, and the} ' separated at Christmas for the holiday vaca- tion with feelings of satisfaction with the work performed. On the 12th of January we find them back again ready n start afresh, but for several weeks they longed for the next vaca- tion, living over in imagination the scenes of the holidays. A few new faci s were added to the list of the class at this time, who soon fell into line and kept pace with the others. All were soon initiated into taking notes at the different lectures, which were very interesting, hut many did not view the logic with much satisfaction, and frequent were the flunks made in this branch. And in German, many were the simply zeros which fell on the unsuspecting Freshmen. The Class soon began a series of meetings at which they effected an organization, and began to get thoroughly acquainted with each other. Near the close of the term a base hall nine was selected, but no game was played by them during the Fresh- man year. The time tied swiftly by, and the Summer examina- tion, with its usual amount of midnight cramming, was upon them before they fully appreciated the fact that a year had passed. Immediately after the examination in Logic a secret meet- ing of the Class was held, and after due deliberation it was decided that, as Logic was no more, she should receive a decent burial. Fearing that too much room would he occupied by hei body in the University burial grounds, according to the latest style. Logic was cremated and her ashes placed in a handsome rosewood casket. On the evening of Logic ' s death the funeral services were held, after a procession of the ghostly-attired Class through the principal streets of town, led by the dirge- playing hand. The unusual scene in town excited much atten- tion and drew hundreds of sympathizing friends to the grave, where, with appropriate ceremony, the ashes of Logic were confided to earth. 2G The Class then threw aside their sepulchral robes, and having performed their last duty to the memory of departed Logic, they marched to a lively tune to the Eagle Hotel, where their Class banquet awaited them. The Class was in high spirits, everything was propitious and the supper was enjoyed while the band played some college airs, familiar to all. The speeches answering to the toasts Logic, ' 78 and Base Ball, were well made, witty and to the point, and loud were the applauses. With regret the Claps parted at a late hour, never to forget the evening of the loth of June, 1875. At the beginning of the second year we find them back, idled with a true sense of their dignity as Sophomores and hold- ing the Freshmen in supreme contempt. At an early meeting the Class decided to publish an An- nual, and appointed a committee fortius purpose. Among other things, also, they decided to haze the Freshmen. This they did by ducking a, number in ice cold water, by making others turn comedian for the amusement of the Sophomores, and by compelling others to wield the blacking brush and perform other menial offices, and never were orders more strictly obeyed when when the Sophomores told the Freshies ' not to sport canes or heavers. . . The Class soon challenged the Freshmen to the yearly game of football, ami vanquished them, after a well contested match. The base ball nine also rose to distinction by gaining a vic- tory over the Class of ' 76, which had hitherto claimed the cham- pionship of the University. In the second game, however, the Seniors took away a part of their laurels, and the weather becoming too cold tor further ball playing, the third game was deferred till the Spring of 1876. In October the (lass began a series of trips to different manufacturing establishments, under the guidance of the Pro- fessot of Chemistry. The series comprised quite a number of very interesting trips, which added much to their stock of knowledge. During the entire existence of the Class of ' 78, as a body, they have been energetic and united, and have wielded a greal influence in University affairs. We venture to predict that their course will ever be upwards, and that they will always take the lead in everything which tends to the physical or moral improvement of the students. Historian.

Tl . introduction to our Register gives us the origin : During tip . • ;i 1865, the Hon Asa Packi ii of Maueh Chunk announced. unsolirit •!. to the Bishop of the Diocese, the lit. Rev. William |; Stevens, D. D.. his intention to appropriate the sum of hive Hundred Thousand Dollars and an eligible site in South l eth- le lein. containing fifty-six acre- i since enlarged by the donation of sev ii acres by Charles Brodhkad, I ' sq-J for the purpose of lb i idiuii an educational institution in the beautiful Valley of th« Lehigh, which should bear the name of ' I ' m Lehigh University. The Bishop was appointed President of the Board of Trustees. Immediately following this announcement, ar- rangements were made lor securing a temporary building, which i:.d been altered from a church to suit college requirements, . — .. — , and which then receive ! the name Christmas Hall; in l in it on the 1st of September, 1866, the University was formally opened in the presence of tin Trustees, Faculty ami invited quests. On that day presented itself before the assemble! idi- ence the 1st class, in number about thirty-five. The Commencement exercises were held in whs I is the dining-room, but which then served as the chapel. Tin r  m on the second floor on the noith-east corner wns th Pn sid nt ' s room. Complete laboratories were fitted out in the | n sent kitchens, and the entire north side of the third floor was the drawing academy, while opposite were the dormitori -. A col- lege mess hall was started at the house of Mrs. Chi il - lh tad, on Brodhead Avenue, which was given up as so. n - t 1 1 • - increasing number of college buildings afforded tli ■ ■ ssary accommodations. The Hrst corps of Professors was as follows: Henry Coppee, LI..I ' .. President and Professor of History and English Literature. Rev. E. X. Potter. M. A.. Professor of Moral mid M.-ntal Philosophy and Christian Kvidences. Chas. M Wetherill, Ph.D., M. 1 ' .. Professor of i h, mistry. K. Y. Morgan, LL.D., Professor of Mathematics and Mechanics. A. M.Mayer, PhD.. Professor of Physics a nd Astr my. Wm. T.Rcepper Esq.. Professor of Mineralogy and  i gy. The first instructor wns Geo. T. Graham, A. ! .. Instructor in the Languages and Mathematics. Thus fitted out with all that was necessary for a single class, the work began. The course was four years for ..I. .villi a tuition fee of $100 per year. Hut soon the number of students began to grow. iv«pi ring a larger number of Professors and Instructors, and mor ' .om- rnodious quarters, i)n , as a consequence, the magnihVmi ' lild- ing of Packer Hall was begun in the Fall of 1866. As the classes increased, two Competition Scholarships foT the entrance examinations were established, tie- success- ful competitors receiving as a reward tuition, board and room rent free throughout the course. The establishment of three Foundation Seholarshios soon followed, entitling the holders, nominated by the Founder and appointed by the Truestees, to free tuition and room rent. Soon after the building of Packer Hall was commenced, the foundation of the President ' s house was laid. It was finished in 1867. The two Professors ' houses were completed in 1868. In 1868 the students entered Packer Hall, occupying tin- portion in which are now the recitation rooms; the tower, draw- ing academy, museum and chapel, being incomplete. The chapel exercises were held in the chemistry lecture room. Christmas Hall then became the college boarding house, and the dining rooms and kitchens were transferred to their present position from their previous one in Brodhead Avenue. The fourth story of Packer Hall was used as dormitories. While. considering the year 1868, it will perhaps be of in- terest to record the memorable row between the roughs of Beth- lehem and the. college students. The origin of the row is uncertain. Be it what it may. however, on the evening before Thanksgiving Day, in Bethle- hem proper, and on the evening of Thanksgiving Day in South Bethlehem, the roughs of both boroughs met hand to hand with the students. The latter, in both contests, more than held their own, but as the numbers of the roughs kept increasing and the rows threatened to become serious, the college authorities took the matter rigorously in hand and had several of the ringleaders arrested, who were, however, eventually pardoned. Since that time the students have not been molested. In 1869the tower and west end of Packer Hall were finished and occupied. The bell which formerly hung in the tower of Christmas Hall, then took its present position. It was during this year that Mr. Robert Say re presented the Observatory building and instruments to the University. The deatli of one of the first Professors. Mr. E. W. Morgan, occurred in this year, which was followed in the next year by that of Prof. Charles M. Wetherill. They were both able and good men. The vacancies of both these Professors wen- speedily tilled, however, and the work went on as before. Dr. Potter, in the year 1868, left the University and accepted a call to a church in Troy, from whence he was taken to fill the presidential chair «0 at Union College, and Professor Mayer soon after left to fill the professorship of physics at Stevens ' Institute. In the year 1872, Saucon Hall was begun and the students came into possession early in ' 73. In this year also tuition was declared free by the founder, and all scholarships were done away. A new prize in the Sophomore class was established by Mr. E. P. Wilbur— value $200. Xow college spirit seems to have suddenly seized the stu- dents, for during the intervening years three societies were started, all of which are still flourishing. The first of these, The Lehigh Junto, was founded by Dr. E. N. Potter, before he left the University, and this by yearly collections of books and periodicals, now intends to start a first-class reading room. The second, the Chemical and Natural History Society, by its library and museum and by its yearly course of lectures, has become widely Known through the country. And lastly, the Engineering Society, helps much in its efforts the engineering course of the University. Following these come the yearly hops, given by the Junior Class during Commencment week. Dr. Coppee, in the early part of the year 1874, resigned his position as president of the University, and his resignation was accepted by the trustees on condition that he would retain his position, ad interim, until a successor should be appointed, and that then he should hold a chair in the University- A successor was found in July, 1875, in the person of Rev. J. M. Leavitt. Dr. Coppee still remains with us, holding the Professorship of Internatural Law and English Literature. And now, kind reader, we have brought you to the present year, in which, principal among other events, stands the publi- cation of our first annual. We hope through it the interest of the public in the welfare of the University will be kept alive as well abroad as at home. In it we have endeavored to present to you our University as it was and as it is, and we hope we have succeeded. Oft in spare moments, snatched from the daily rou- tine of work, may its perusal recall many happy hours of college life, whether spent elsewhere or under the sheltering walls of Alma Lehigh.

ASA PACKER of Mauch Chunk, i THE object of this Institution is to give a thorough education in Civil, Mechanical and Mining Engineering, and also in Chemistry and Metal- lurgy. Situated in a region famous for its rich and varied mineral resources, and also for its vast manufacturing interests, the Lehigh University has peculiar advantages for its special work. To its technical studies has been added a Classical Course, and there are now also Lectureships of Psychology and Christian Evidences, and of Constitutional and International Law. While the technical education is thorough and comprehensive, there arc thus advantages of large and liberal culture. Through the liberality of its Founder, the tuition in all branches and classes is free. REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION.
