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.
