We tnarched before them — wluit check!- ' We slirank not from their pistols, their slung-shots or heavy canes. What unparalleled impudence! What could be more heinous! And to crown all, for these crimes we were, singly and collectively, called simply blackguards What a forgiving spirit! What condescension! As it is the province of the historian to narrate, to criticise, and, by stretching his prerogative, to advise, I may without presumption, advise following freshmen classes during their burials or their class doings ofany kind, to look upon sophomores as fellow- students, not as a band of ruffians ; they will then need no arms. At Commencement our well-beloved sister captured the Wilbur Scholarship, and the Brodhead Medal was given to H. F. J. Porter, for his Essay on the Lehigh Valley. With Commencement we finished sophomore year, and are now juniors. Our College course is half done. That vt have learned much from our work and from our experience with the world and its ways, is to be hoped. That we may learn more and fit ourselves more perfectly for our life-work is the hope of your Historian.

We .were received in a friendly spirit by both seniors and juniors, while we could pick out the sophs bv the battery of cheap wit and stale jokes with which we were greeted by the majority, although they discontinued their amusement when they saw that we were not affected by it, and confined themselves to the practice of confiscating canes, when- ever they appeared, from the freshies. It took us but a comparatively short time to become acquainted with each other, and, with few exceptions, a still shorter time to flunk in Chauvenet ; but having a definite object always in view we kept pushing steadily onward and upward with but little to break the monotony of events until the Christmas holidays were over, and we had again assem- bled — Jan. 12th — for a fresh start. A few fomiliar faces were
