It has bee n a year long to be remembered by all connected with the University ; replete with life and energy ; and filled to overflowing with scrapes and fun ; and as we glance back upon its many changes, we wonder that so much could occur in so short a time. We think of the friends and acquaintances of a year ago— many of them gone and almost forgotten — and we feel the impress of college associations most deeply left upon us, and that we are more firmly bound by the ties of class and individual friendship. To render a history of all that has occurred would take much more time and space than we can give it; but we shall attempt, as well as we can, to set forth in some degree our true college life, that those unconnected with it may obtain some idea of it, and those who were actors in the drama may, as they look over these pages, find something therein which it will be both pleasant and profitable for them to remember. The new library building is rapidly approaching completion, and promises to be a very fine structure. It will be, when completed, an honor to the University, and a new monument to the repeated generosities of the giver. The interest in base ball is at present at rather a low ebb, and the record for the year hardly does credit to the expectations of a year ago. This is owing partly, probably, to the leaving, during the year, of a number of those who took an interest in it at that time, but very largely to the lack of good and easily accessible grounds, which is one of the necessities of a successful base-ball organization ; there is good material in the University, which only requires training and practice to become a first-class club. In athletics considerable advance has been made during the year ; some of the records are very good, and compare favorably with those of other colleges. The prizes which have been awarded through the liberality of some Bethlehem gentlemen have added very largely to the interest of the sports, and considerably sharpened competition. We have during the year joined the Inter-collegiate Athletic Association, and although those who entered at the last meeting won no laurels there, yet it has been demonstrated that, despite our small numbers and lack of appliances for physical culture, we can compete on equal terms with other colleges in these contests. A prize has been offered for an Alma Mater, which will be awarded on the first of January next, provided a hymn of a sufficient degree of merit has been at that time presented. We hope by this means to obtain what we greatly need, a distinctive college hymn, which shall fairly represent our true college spirit, and be a distinguishing mark of the individuality of Lehigh amongst colleges, and in which we can sing the praises of our University without borrowing from outside sources. And now with these few words of introduction we present to you our Epitome. We have not designed to make it a literary work, but simply to record the present condition of college affairs as viewed from the students ' standpoint, and to show their progress during the past year. We believe our University to be in a prosperous condition, while we cannot hope for a large increase of numbers immediately, on account of the high standard which has been adopted, and the rigid enforcement of the requirements of that standard ; still we believe that by this means she will ultimately draw around her that higher class of students, so very desirable, who in institutions of less requirements are almost unknown, and we look to the development of the classical course, which will soon be known as one of the best in the country, as a source of large increase in the number of students. The fine buildings of which we are already possessed, and others which will undoubtedly soon be erected, together with the splendid location, which affords a fine opportunity for beautiful grounds, by slight improvements, must present an advantage which will be largely to the advantage of the University. Therefore, whatever discouragements there may be, we have great hopes of her ultimate success. She is young yet, and has not associated with her those old and time-honored customs and memories so dear to some older insti- tutions ; but she has about her already that which commands the respect and veneration of the student, and is rapidly forming customs which in the halcyon days that are coming, with success attained, and her fame established, shall be the dehght of her students in the future.

IT becomes the duty of your historian to record for the last time the deeds of the class of ' 78. But from what record is he to draw this history ? From what array of facts is he to take those that may prove interesting to the public at large, or even to the class ? If he could recount the love adventures of R , or the wonderful tale of D trying the power of the human eye upon the brute creation, and of how well he succeeded with the poodle and the calf, but when he undertook to tame the bull, the unscientific Ijeast, instead of being cowed and subdued, was enraged and chased him over the fence, then the reader might be pleased and interested. Or if he could but hint, in a mysterious manner, of certain deeds of valor or rescues of distressed maidens. Or if one could paint, in words of sombre hue, the pale student bending over his books far into the night, and rising with the first faint dawn to resume his work — then the gentle female heart might be filled with admiration and pity, and the alumnus, reading over his old class histories, would say, Ah, yes ! that was Jones, who knocked down the big policeman; or, Poor Smith I consumption carried him off; studied too hard. But there are none of these wonderful things to relate. We are not knights, seeking adventures, neither are we very studious o ' nights. In fact, we are only a moderately healthy, sturdy, lazy lot of men, who have managed to exist through nearly four years of a life almost as tame and humdrum as Mark Twain ' s Got up, washed, went to bed. But notwithstanding all the drudgery and monotony, I am sure we all love this quaint, slow old town, and like to see the dear, delight- ful, stupid Dutch, and hear their queer jargon of a language. And when we are gone, and our places know us no more, we will look back over our four years, and sigh, and wish we could live them over again. 11 How we will miss P ' s broad, expressive smile, and the Boss, and all the rest of the old familiar faces ! And we will long to see the park and the buildings, and to hear the college bell, whose clear, mellow tone has so often risen through the trees and crept in at the window, and made one stop and listen, and wonder where he would be next year when that bell was ringing. Then, mayhap, the longing may become so strong that we will come back and stand on the steps after chapel, or go to the well-known rooms, but will see all new faces, and a stranger has the rooms. Then we will mournfully talk over the old times with Jim, and wander round the town and see the Freshmen parade under the Fern. Sem. windows, and think how we did the same thing, and what a hollow mockery we found it. Ah me, how these college years do fly ! It seems but yesterday we entered, some fifty=slrong ; and now, through various causes, — special dispensation of the Faculty has not been the least, — we have dwindled down to seventeen. We were nineteen at Junior ye.ar ; but Barr, our shining light, became a Granger ; and Byllesby is taking practical niechanics in Jersey. And these seventeen, the flower of the flock, have nearly finished, their apprenticeship, and will soon go out to fight their way in the world, and try to make a name for themselves, and, through themselves, for their Alma Mater. For she has been a kind mother to us, and has allowed us to flunk, and fizzle, and cram ourselves with her knowledge, with no recompense but the hope that, through us, credit may come to her. And so, Alma Mater, ... Wc part with thee As wretches, that are doubtful of hereafter, Part with tlieir lives, unwilling, loath and fearful. And trembling at futurity. Historian. . 79 FIT VIA VI.

ANOTHER year of our college life has passed away : half of our university career is finished : and we are now called upon to address ourselves to the readers of this worthy periodical in the character of Juniors. When last we appeared before the public we gloried in the title of Sophomores; now we have reached the point in our course which all Freshmen consider, next to Seniority, as the acme of mortal ambition, — though their opinion may change, perhaps, on arriving there. As this short sketch is intended briefly to review a few of the many events occurring during the year which witnessed this transforma- tion, we will, without further introduction, begin our history, referring those who would know more concerning us to preceding publications. Our laboratory experience during the first term, with its mirth- provoking scenes, will always be remembered by the class as — in the words of our class poet — something immense. Who does not re- member the orthodox prayer-meetings conducted by Doc, accom- panied by the music (?) of the orchestra, with our maniac dancing a hornpipe as a side show ; or the gentle voice of our instructor, as he endeavored to demonstrate to our corpulent friend from Jersey, that all noise is not music, and convinced S h and P r that they would confer a benefit on the community at large, by occasionally burying themselves under the hood ? Well we remember the look of astonishment and dismay depicted on H n ' s lamb-like physiognomy, on making the discovery that pure distilled HjO contained half a dozen elements. 14 Did we ever allow the ruminating Fresh to tread those Sopho- moric aisles without performing the customary ablutions? We think not. The Engineering Corps of the class finished their Compass Survey during the Spring, and a committee of the C. E. ' s are engaged at present in calculating the area. Their report is anxiously awaited. Often, in that memorable survey, have our expectations been blighted when, instead of receiving the much desired lo, as a reward of our daily toil, we saw our energetic instructor, with his accustomed smile, scratch his little 2.5 after our names. It may have been due to our enormous catenaries, or our excellent conduct, but which we cannot tell. Of the original forty who entered the class in the Fall of ' 75, but one-third remain. Many have left us ; some voluntarily ; others by pre- mature graduation, through the Faculty. One of our number has been stricken by the hand of death. Horn, Curtis, and the unskillful and reluctant witness, who conducted himself with such gravity before the Inquisition, have left these scientific shades; and he who traverses the halls of Jefferson will find the worthy trio busily engaged in handling the scalpel and dissecting knife. F 1 appears in perennial bloom, in the more congenial atmos- phere of Lafayette. Blessed is he who talketh little. P. S. D. C. G. P r, the originator of those famous Newark jokes, has departed with his little satchel. He now graces Union with his amiable presence, and appears there as Senior, Junior, Soph., and Fresh. Doc has just returned from a four months ' rustication on the slope, where his mental powers acquired sufficient development — as testified to by an expert — to enable him to study that science of sciences, Psychology. He has not, as yet, appeared at the University, being too busily engaged in editing his Frisco experience, for the benefit of his admirers. It has been said that joy never occurs unmixed with sorrow, and it becomes our sad duty to note that one of our brightest and most promising members, Mr. Wm. S. Duncan, has left us, never to return. IS Always affable, obliging, and pleasant, he was a universal favorite ; not only with his class, but also with every one with whom he was brought in contact ; and his death leaves a gap in our midst that we find difficult to fill. While his place is vacant here below, his memory will ever be cherished by his beloved classmates. In connection with Mr. Duncan ' s death it is proper to mention that the Trustees of St. Luke ' s Hospital have, with their well-known liberality, set apart two rooms exclusively for the use of sick students to be called the Duncan Memorial Rooms. For this mark of esteem towards the University in general, and particu- larly towards our late classmate, they have our heartfelt thanks. We must not forget to mention that our Youthful ' ■ Sliver son of Maine, Of stature tall and slender frame. managed to capture the Wilbur Prize at Commencement. The class of ' 79 is indebted to him for the magnificent collation given them at the Eagle, on the evening of Nov. 2, ' ' ] ' ], in remembrance of his success ; and our only wish is, that he may still continue to elongate his vertical axis, live forever, marry rich, and die happy. Last Fall we published the second number of the Epitome, the first number of which was published by ' 78 during their Sophomore year. It was very well received, and will in all probability be con- tinued by succeeding classes. In conclusion, we may say without egotism that the class of ' 79 can always be relied upon to uphold the high standard of our noble University. That it has done so here, the character of its work proves : that it will continue to do so in the life-work beyond, may be safely confided to those having its honor and reputation at stake. And now, dear reader, having filled our allotted space, we bid you adieu for another year. Historian. 16 ' 8o. NEC SCIRE FAS EST OMNIA. Class Color; — Cardinal. OFFICERS. H. B. STRONG, F. P.

It will be the duty of the v riter to bring back the scenes of the past year, and each member of the class can moralize (?) over it for himself. We started last year with the largest class Lehigh ever had ; as jolly a set of fellows as it was possible to conceive of, too jolly and fond of fun for the place, — at least so Faculty thought, — and not being suffi- ciently appreciated, all our lively members have left ; in consequence of which the class has become a model of propriety, and might be mistaken for theological students if they were not so very quiet. Last year we were credited with everything that went wrong within miles of us. There may have been a suspicion that some of the older classes helped, but ' 80 would surely be blamed for every known irregularity. As in every case where one gets a bad name, so in ours, no one knows how or when we were first regarded as not cherubs, but rather mips. Who can forget the scene in Chapel on the morning the prayer- books were missed ; or the court of inquiry, held the evening before, in Christmas Hall, where, seated at a table with a member of Faculty on each side, and pistols on the table in front of him, our President called upon us to answer certain grave charges of willful damage ; nor can we forget the lawyers ' tr.cks which our judges used to extort testimony from stubborn witnesses, — all of which failed. Our 5rst class-supper was held on the occasion of our burial of Logic, and recognizing the fact that our loss was our gain, we deter- mined to have a good time even at a funeral ; and, though few in num- 18 bers, we made a dignified and awe-inspiring procession. After the burial we assisted at the supper given at the Sun Inn, and passed a social evening in spite of the predictions of outsiders, whose ideas of pleasure differed from ours, and who would have filled up a blank left by us in the bill of fare. With all our troubles, and they were many, our first year of stu- dent life was very pleasant ; and the monotony we find now was broken by after-supper drills, bonfires, raids, torpedo experiments, tableaux, etc., none of which would be proper for us now, not being Freshmen. We commenced this year with fewer men, but were still the lar- gest Sophomore class yet known here, and had just settled down to work when almost half the class left us. We lost a few through hazing, and though it was properly hazing we believe they would still have been with us had it not been for the ex- aggerated reports of the affair made by a little paper published in town, zealous for the right, and particularly so for items, and from it spread to other papers in the country. In athletics we have always held the foremost place. At first McNulty, who was our big man, took everything, and so leaving nothing for the rest of the class to do, was regarded as the only man to be feared. So much so was this the case that when he left, none of the best men of other classes would train, as they were confident of their success and, as usual in such cases, they were beaten. We, as a class, have taken over 60 per cent, of the prizes since we entered, and there is no reason why we may not do as well in future, as last meeting showed our dependence was not on a single man. My history is finished, so adieu till we meet again, which will, let us hope, be as Juniors. Historian. 19 ' 8i. VIRTUS, VERITAS, HONESTAS. Class Color: — Purple. OFFI CERS. B. F. HALDEMAN, C. T.

Wilful demolition of property must cease. 42 This base, degenerate a£;e requires Severity, not justice in its rigor. 79 CHAIN GANG. S. V. RICE — Overseer of gang. Invariably armed with his tru:5ty hatchet. Utilized as stake-driver; otherwise of no account. W. G. COCHRAN. — This convict was exposed, while endeavoring to swindle society in the guise of a temperance reformer; an occupation for which his extraordinary amount of cheek emi- nently fitted him. He is, however, as meek as a lamb in the gang; appearing in kids, to prevent soiling his dainty hands, while acting as general supe. J. S. CUNNINGHAM.— Committed for grand larceny; Striking example of moral depravity. Truthful James supplies the necessary blarney and strong language for the gang. J. T. JETER. — Victim of misplaced confidence. Having used a left handed monkey-wrench for an illegal purpose, he is now forced to drag a chain about with him. M. H. PADDOCK. — Led astray. In consequence of his youthful appearance, sentence commuted to ninety days. His blooming moustache being a prominent object in the field of view, he often replaces the pole. F. W. SARGENT. — Sent down for forcing admittance into one of the Moravian institutions of learning in Bethlehem. Sentenced to two years ' light labor, such as carryi ng the pins and beer for the gang. R. H. TUCKER, Jr.— Two years : violating the Maine liquor law. Good rear chainman, in chaining up slopes ; and in cases of extreme emergency, used as a pin. R. VAN KIRK.— River pirate. Arrested while in pursuit of his nefari- ous calling on the Lehigh. His gondola has been converted into a galley for the use of the gang. W. A. WARREN.— This noted Western desperado has been guilty of innumerable atrocities. He is now engaged in introducing a phonographical method of taking notes in the original Sanscrit. 45 LLENTOWN JV ISSIONARIES. SOME of the nobler spirits of our institution recognizing the fact that, notwithstanding the presence of the University, the bright and shining light emitted therefrom, and the rays of intellectual and moral refinement shed over the community, but a short distance from this place there is another, where no such influence is brought to bear, and where the social and spiritual condition of the natives is still in its primitive state, conceived this grand design of, by their individual presence and influence, bringing this people up to their own elevated standard, and converting them to the higher tenets of their own faith. Great has been the success with which their efforts have been attended, and many have been the adventures through which they have been called to pass. Foreseeing that the susceptible heart of woman would be the first to be touched by their noble ideas, they resolved to labor only with the younger and more tender of that sex, and consequently in all their ramblings we find them only with the girls. Among the foremost of these missionary spirits is Werdna, a young man of rather changeable disposition, and gifted at making sudden impressions which generally exert no lasting influence. Andrews is one of the pretty boys, and takes things by storm wherever he goes, and, whether sitting on the sofa with the gentle Lillie, or working in company with Sterling at the sentimental Carrie, he is the same successful knight of the high collar and glorious necktie. Howard is a young man of cheek, and is principally useful in making acquaintances for others to make use of afterward; while Graham is one of those insinuating characters who draw out the inmost confidences of the female heart. These, together with McCungie, the Millerite, and great enemy of beer ; Brunsen, the silent worker, and a few others, constitute a grand successful company of earnest workers among the females of Allentown. But truth compels us to record their misfortunes as well as successes, and points to the 46 fact that in their valiant attacks on beer, they have been uniformly defeated, and that on one occasion, while still suffering from such a defeat, they were met by a party of heathen warriors, whose enmity had been roused by the joining of their standard by certain of the young women of that country, and ' completely vanquished. And on another occasion, while in a similar condition, as they attempted to raise their spirits by making an impression on some damsels fair ' with beautiful song, the damsels were unable to appreciate good music, and they were bombarded with quinces, and though they bravely stood their ground, the effect of their song was entirely spoiled. As there is always pleasure in well-doing, so these missionaries declare that some of the most pleasant hours of their lives have been spent in their mis- sionary labors, and they are ready to continue their work, believing in final success, and holding fast to their glorious motto, Mein Maed- chen und Mein Bier, 47 The 3tuffed Qlub. Fare thee well, and if forever, then forever fare thee wsll. C. C. BULL, M. P. PARET, W, P. PALMER, Jr.. J. E. GILBERT, J. W. McCOMAS, G. LEHRS, H. LEHRS, N. LAFON. The Stufifed Club was organized during the Fall of 1874, at the establishment of Madame Connors, that well-known caterer. It was disbanded in the Spring of ' 76 to be re-organized, under more auspicious circumstances, in the fall of the same year. Its subsequent career has been unrivaled in the annals of eating-clubs.

M ANY things have occurred during the last year an account of all of which would not only fill more pages than we can spare, but would be monotonous to those who ha ve taken no part in them; but by no means so to those who have ' been active in bringing them to pass. Their recountal would thus be an imposition on the patience of some readers. It has been our endeavor to place in the preceding pages of this, the third copy of the Epitome, a summary of such events as we thought would be of the greatest interest to the friends and students of the University. Our efforts have been fraught with trials and reverses in both de- partments, but especially so in the advertising. We will urge no opinion as to the worthiness of our endeavors, but we ask the readers ' , because they are better able to judge of the merit of our attempt. Our only desire is that it may be what we have tried to make it. Editors. Bl ' Y ABLE OF QONTENTS. SALUTATORY BOARD OF TRUSTEES, . . FACULTY, CLASS OF ' 78.
