FOLLOWING the worthy example of our predecessors, we have ventured upon the field of journalism, in recording another chapter in the history of our beloved Alma Mater. We greet you, our professors, who, by your untiring zeal, are striving to train up our minds and to mould our characters in such a way that hereafter we may be a credit to ourselves and to our Alma Mater. We greet you, the Alumni, who have trodden these paths of learning before us. May the perusal of these few pages call back to your remembrance a few of the many pleasant memories of your college days. We greet you, our fellow-students, who, together with us, are struggling after that priceless boon, — knowledge, — with which to meet successfully the storms of life, and who now with us are experiencing the vicissitudes of a college life. To you especially we dedicate this volume, in the hope that its pages may recall to mind many of the episodes of the past year. To you, dear reader, though it may not give to you the same hours of pleasant thought and remembrance, yet we hope that its perusal will afford at least a moment ' s pleasure. For who is able to portray in a pen-picture the experiences of a college life ? The happy moments we have spent in each other ' s rooms, — the many pleasant incidents connected with our recitations? All these associations tend to make this period the happiest in our life, — the heyday of our existence. Such associations can be properly appreciated only by those who have shared in their participation. The past year has been an eventful one in the history of our Alma Mater. During it, the doors of the University Library, another monu- ment of the liberality of our worthy founder, have been thrown open, not only to the students, but also to all who may wish to embrace the opportunity. And here we desire to state that the usefulness of the Library has been greatly enhanced through the munificence of the Alumni, who have so generously contributed toward filling its shelves with valuable books. Several changes have been made during the year just passed in the curriculum of the University, which, we believe, will prove of advantage in that they give to the students in the several departments a more systematic training and thoroughness. But the principal change has been the establishment of a School of Law, which will add much to take away its heretofore exclusively technical character, and to raise it one step nearer the ideal University. During the year Professor Mansfield Merriman has been selected to fill the chair of Civil Engineering left vacant by the resignation of Professor S. R. Crumbaugh; and we believe that a more judicious selec- tion could not have been made by our Trustees. We are pleased to note that the Campus has been lately much improved, transforming the former monastic appearance of the grounds into that of a terraced park. xVnd we congratulate our fellow-students upon the probable realization of their long-indulged and long-deferred hope, as we understand that a portion of the Campus will be set apart for the practice of athletic exercises. Our number during the last year has not materially increased, owing, no doubt, to the continued depressed condition of trade through- out the country, and also to the high grade still maintained at the University, the Faculty concurring with the Founder that quality and not quantity should be the end desired. The interest in athletics has during the past year remained unabated. We cannot but feel gratified at our encouraging representation at the last meeting of the Inter-Collegiate Association ; and, although we gained no laurels, yet it has had the effect of making the University more widely known, by bringing it before the notice of the college world. We are pleased to remark that that which has long been needed, the proper organization of the Athletic Association, has at last been attained ; and more attention being now devoted to this subject, we are able con- fidently to predict a more brilliant future in this field. The secret society element in the University has increased some- what during the past year, as the rolls show a membership slightly larger than that for some years previous. We have now in our midst three fraternities : the Chi Phi, the Delta Tau Delta, and the Delta Beta Phi ; and although we are sorry to announce the exodus of the Phi Kappa Sigma, which had been amongst us for so long a time, yet, on the other hand, we are pleased to welcome the Delta Beta Phi. Dear reader, we now submit this work to you, imperfect though it be. Judge us not harshly, as we are but amateurs in this art, and heed not the voice of the too censorious critic, for — As soon as seek roses in December, Ice in June, hope constancy in wind. Corn in chaff, believe a woman Or an epitaph beiore you trust in critics. BOARD OF TRUSTEES. The Right Rev. M. A. DeWOLFE HOWE Bishop of Central Pennsylvania, The Hon. ASA PACKER, The Right Rev. W.

FOR the third and last time during our sojourn at Lehigh we are called upon to furnish a short account of the Class of ' 79. To call it a history would be a misnomer; for while memory reverts to numerous incidents and events especially interesting to us individually and collectively as a Class, which would be incorporated in a history, still the lack of time and space at our disposal, combined with the fact that they would probably be of little interest to those not of us, precludes their consideration at this time, and we will briefly present a few general remarks ere bidding adieu to the readers of the Epitome. It seems but as yesterday, so short is the lapse of time, that over forty of us met together, one bright September morning in ' 75, all resolved to strive for sheepskins ; but alas ! we forgot, in dealing with futurity, to take Faculty into consideration. It played a lone hand against that portion of the Class who failed to provide themselves with the all-power- ful doctor ' s certificate, the universal antidote for unexcused absences, so that half our number were relegated to obscurity ere we returned as Sophomores. Various causes conspired to thin our ranks from time to time during Sophomore and Junior years, until finally our total expul- sion was threatened, should we publish the customary burlesque pro- gramme, usually distributed on Commencement Day by the Juniors. Suffice to say, we became frightened, the burlesque was published, and as a result of our discretion the Class of ' 79 still graces the boards for a short time. That we may have learned considerable during our presence in this sleepy borough will, no doubt, be granted. The experience gained is 13 invaluable in itself ; and although the majority of the Class have not improved their opportunities amongst the fair sex to the extent of our Tenial F. W., — whose innumerable moonlight exploits in that direction, as related by himself, would fill a volume, — still, as human nature is at best imperfect, and we are not altogether innocent, we will, in considera- tion of the feelings of our ch ' mical friend S h, whose recent disappoint- ment in a neighboring city commands our heartfelt sympathy, shift the scene, realizing that we are treading upon dangerous ground. Long ago we sadly discarded the fond illusion tliat a four years ' course of syste- matic and scientific cramming and flunking, combined with a diploma, completed an education. The more we learn, the more we find remains to be learned, — asour cla-s president ' s daily complimentary and eulogistical remarks in connection with Rankine bear witness. During the past year we have taken various trips to different points alono the Valley and Philadelphia, in the interest of science and pleasure. It was a curious and remarkable coincidence that our barometrical journey around the Switchback and Glen Onoko wiih Professor Harding, last June, should have occurred on the same day as that of the Seminary. Here ' s those everlasting students again! There ' s your fellow! etc., were the coniplimentary remarks hurled at us by our fellow-students from the northern shore of the Lehigh, as we boarded the train at Mauch Chunk intent upon the stern discharge of our duty. Students we are still, and no doubt will be until we shuffle off this mortal coil ; but we failed, utterly failed, to study the beautiful scenery of Glen Onoko on that memorable occasion. What was studied ma) ' be inferred from S t ' s remark as he mounted the platform on the summit, and exclaimed, in his usual tragic style, By-by, gentlemen ; the proper study of mankind is girls. While at Packerton, in October, we were handsomely treated, and had a special train placed at our disposal Our steamboat excursion on the Lehigh was an incident in our career greatly enjoyed, and it demonstrated that we at least knew how to engineer ? boat. It may have been because stolen pleasures are sweet; but the temptation to indulge surreptitiously in a free ride was too great to be resisted, especially as we found combustible material conveniently arranged on the Island. 14 Often, as we gather in Dick ' s den, do we discuss old times over a cup of chocolate ; relate the peculiarities of this or that individual, and wonder where the whirligig of time will place us. No more does the drowsy senior toss up a cent at 8:io A. M. : heads, breakfast; tails, chapel. The element of chance has been obliterated under the new dispensation, and breakfast is punished accordingly, at the expense of chapel. Our brilliant V. P. of lasi year is supposed to be diligently engaged perusing Blackstone in the City of Brotherly Love. To be absent while considered present, was his chief study here. Our junior member from Maryland was the last of Seventy-nine ' s shining lights to leave. He was witty, humorous in a certain sense, and pre-eminently loud. The quietness now reigning o ' er Saucon Hall at midnight continually and forcibly reminds us of his absence. He was slowly and surely sending us to an early grave with his diabolical fish-horn ; and so strong is the force of habit that Dick ties himself to Stoney every night in order that his wonderful psychological dreams may not be disturbed by visions of this nocturnal Gabriel. Speaking of psychology reminds us that the important conundrum as to whether each soul is an individual creation, or a traditionary heredicature, remains unsolved. Has the oyster got a soul? is a very important question, and may be classed with Where has little Johnny gone ? as creating the greatest diversity of opinion. Our lectures in November, given at the request of the Class, by Professor Coppee, on the Use and Abuse of the English Language, were highly instructive, and judging from the attendance must have been appreciated. There has been one noticeable feature in the Class of ' 79, of which we have always been proud, and that is our perfect unity of action, and the unanimous good feeling sustained in our intercourse with each other. Often in the future, when far away from Lehigh, our thoughts will wander back with loving remembrance and fond recollection to our happy, jovial student life ; and as the days glide into months, and the months pass into years, the feeling may become so strong that we will be compelled to return. New faces will have taken the place of those so IB well known, others will use classical and idiomatic English in connection with the University authorities, and everything in geneial on the slightest provocation, as we have so well known how to do. Perchance, as we wander through the old rooms in the vain hope that our crayon sketches may yet be found on the historic walls, some presumptuous follower in our footsteps may even have the temerity to yell Fresh at us, and we will relieve the painful sensation of change by rambling up the walk, and watching our old friends the workmen pretend to dig dirt, or break stones on the Campus. We will watch in vain to see them work ; in fact, we fail to recollect when they did. Our work, or rather that portion of it connected with our noble University, is nearly finished. It has been no mere boys ' play or surface gleaning; but hard, steady, persistent application, that has carried us through thus far. And when we pause and reflect that the knowledge acquired here is merely introductory, and designed to enable us the more readily and surely to take our place in the bustling army of competitors everywhere surrounding us, then, and not till then, do we realize that our work is but just begun ; that we are but mere scientific neophytes with the whole world open to us as our University, the tenure of mortal life as the term in which we may acquire a portion of her knowledge, and success and reputation awaiting us as the substantial and practical diploma.

THE beginning of the present year finds the Junior looking at his college covu ' se in a new light. He has just turned the stake- boat marking the completion of one-half the race, and now is pulling straight toward his prize, — the diploma. Formerly, how long he has been here was his uppermost thought; now he thinks how short a time there is left of his stay, and, speakin .; from the experi- ence of the past, how rapidly it will pass. As we bring before us the reminiscences of the past year, with what is pleasurable in them brightened by time, and all the unpleasant parts entirely dropped from sight, few of us but would live the year over again if the loss of a year ' s time were not the penalty. For we have enjoyed the year. Every part has been filled with its own pleasures, and though we often feel the need of a gymnasium and a few other things that have made themselves indispensable in all our colleges, yet situated as we are, and with the good health that is the rule with us, none of us can honestly complain of no chance for enjoyment. What troubles we have are soon laughed away, — ourselves joining in the laugh, — -and then we take back what we said of Faculty or of some of its members. The Sophomore year, generally the one in which the student considers himself a compendium of all knowledge, did not beguile us into any learned displays of ignorance. Not but that we felt our superiority over the state of verdancy from which we had just emerged, only we let our work speak for us, and particularly our original discoveries, which were many, especially in chemistry. Then the Class is modest, as our motto indicates. 19 Our scientific excursions of last year embraced coal-mines, gas-works, soap-factories, and print, glass, and pottery works, sugar-refineries, etc. We can now tell at a glance one from the other ; and the Class and Professor Chandler, to whom we are indebted for the trips, fully enjoyed them, and no doubt picked up much valuable information, While the scientific schools seek knowledge in the above-noticed way, the literary element finds its amusement in adapting old plays and stories to our every-day life. One of these amuses the Engineers very greatly. It is the story of the hen who had hatched out a brood of ducks, and, when the old hen led them out for the first time, they espied a pond into which they immediately plunged, to the alarm of the hen, who stood on the bank and clucked. In the new version, the old hen plunged in, while the ducks stood on the bank and chuckled. Of the many members our Class has lost, we hear from but few. Tom is still looking for sometliing to lay out cold in the scientific expedition line. Blk astonishes his old friends with his performances at the rosy. One of the big Freshmen in ' 29 ' hides his light, doubtless a dark lantern, in the dry-goods trade. The only useful thing taken by him from L. U. being his experience of cross- examinations, in which he gives Alma Mater credit for a good course. Russia has taken from us two of our number, but not the remarkable conundrum: How can a church climb a sycamore tree? Those of us who remain, taking different courses, and inconsequence, scarcely seeing each other, feel more now than ever before the necessity of social reunions, and fully recognize the particular advantages of our annual Class Suppers. That of last year, at the Eagle Hotel, was appreciated by all; and few of us but felt his possible jealousies and selfisliness vanish before the more important feeling, that for the welfare of ' 80 as a whole. On our return this fall, we were made the recipients of a very elegant supper, through the generosity of Mr. M. M. Duncan, in honor of his success of the Sophomore year, in being awarded the Wilbur Scholarship. The Epitome, whose publication devolved upon us last year, was in every respect cc|unl to the former numbers ; and the Class deserve credit 20 for maintaining a college institution in the face of great discouragement, and against a feeling that the cost would come heavily upon themselves, which last, happily, vvas not realized. As in former years, we have held our leading position in athletics ; and in the last two meetings we have won sixteen of eighteen prizes awarded. In the annual game of football with ' 8i, we were given one goal by a foul ; and though not as satisfactory to us as a well-earned goal would be, yet with the odds of numbers heavily against us, to have defended our own goal for nearly three hours showed the Class to have both pluck and endurance. Every year increases our love for the Class, and naturally too ; for working side by side, helping, and in turn being helped, we learn to understand and appreciate the qualities of each member. May the feeling grow stronger, and the success of one be enjoyed by all ; and may our boast be that we are members of ' 80, and may the Class be worthy of the boast I 21 ' 8i.

A year ago, meek and trembling before the terrors of examination and awe-inspiring professors, we entered the halls of our University. Then, as now, modesty and industry have been the leading characteristics of our class. In every branch of acquirement, physical, scientific, and social, we have shown our ability, and have won general admiration. Early in our career we won our canes, and have worn them with a grace which would have been worthy of the oldest inhabitant. In athletics our success has not always been niarked ; and, in the related science of self-defence, while, alas! victory did not always perch on our banners, we sustained the reputation of the University and established a strong claim on the regard of the Faculty, Truthful James of the Bethlehem Times to the contrary notwithstanding. While many pleasant memories gather round our first year, there are some not so grateful ; half of our original companions have departed for other fields of usefulness. Among them might be mentioned with regret, Smiles, Barney, Brown, and many others, gone but not forgotten. It may have been that they endeavored to cover too much ground. Excelling in the higher walks of gymnastics, their acquire- ments did not find that favor with the dons that addiction to science would have done. 24 Our experience with the Freshies on the whole has been satisfactory. In the regular game of fool-ball, it is true that the old proverb, Pride goes before a fall, was strictly verified; but, on the other hand, at the athletic sports we captured every cane produced. Even now, such is the respect and obedience shown to our orders, that no Freshman wanders about the streets after the evening mail has been distributed ; and one Sunday morning this awe and fear of us was carried so far that one of their big men, when seen by two Sophs carrying a cane, fled into a church, and only came out when under the protection of his auntie. In conclusion, we may claim to have excelled in public spirit. We have used our musical abilities to add to the attractions of the town, especially to the pleasures of the fair inmates of the Seminary. The truth of history requires the mention that our efforts in this line have not been appreciated as they deserved. The same may be said as to our endeavors to add artistic decorations to the houses of those whom we wished to honor. To the citizens of Bethlehem, who have so kindly received us, and by their hospitality have so added to our happiness, our hearty thanks are given. May they live long and prosper !

DIRECT FROM THE KEG. 27 Class History. THE historian of ' 82 ! What an important position ! I thought, as it dawned upon me in the quiet of my own domicile, that, in the excitement of one of our first Freshmen meetings, I had permitted myself to be elected to fill it. How observant I shall need to be of the sayings and doings of these twenty-two embryo heroes, that the world lose nothing of their wisdom and might ! Oh, for the pen of a Boswell and the ubiquity of a hero of fairy tales, that I might pursue my classmates as Boswell pursued poor Johnson, and draw out from them their wisdom and lore for the benefit of future generations ! All of these reflections passed through my youthful mind, and I was appalled at the magnitude of my undertaking ; fortunately, this feeling did hot last long. In a while the idea crept over me that, after all, the pen of a Macaulay might not be indispensable in recounting how such a one was hazed, such another flunked, and such another went the way of all flesh and took a drink, or, worse still, fell in love. I deter- mined to brace myself to the undertaking, and in course of time produce, according to my ability, a veritable class history. So I will plunge at once ;? media res Did I promise to recount how such a one flunked ? Alas that I so soon break my promise ! Was such a thing ever known in the Class of ' 82 ? I appeal to the reader. However, away with sarcasm ! I must begin my duty as historian. As this history is written for the Sophomore Class Epitome, I almost hesitate to state the result of our first contest, with which, I fear, they were not much pleased. 28 The third week in September witnessed a football match between the two classes, from which the Freshmen, after a pretty tight contest of two hours, came out victorious, having beaten the Sophomores two to nothing. This was all the greater honor for us as ours was the first Freshman class which had ever won. The College Athletics took place the second Saturday in October at Rittersville Park. A small party of Freshmen, all carrying that Soph forbidden article, a cane, were overtaken on our way to the sports by the entire Sophomore class, about twenty. They rushed upon us with the intention of depriving us of our canes, and, after a struggle of about fifteen minutes, succeeded in doing so. The canes, however, could not have been of much use except for firewood. Out of that cane-rush, the first of the three which happened that day, one of our Class brought a slightly discolored visual organ. These are peaceful times, and there seems nothing of note to record except our frolic on Election Day. Anticipating, by a few years, our privilege of voting, we students extemporized a mock poll in the janitor ' s room ; and, without having paid our poll-tax, deposited our vote. 1 don ' t suppose any of us knew much about what we were doing; but after a tough tussle between the opposing parties, the vote having been counted, it was found that the college had gone Republican. A bonfire seemed to us to be the proper thing for the occasion ; and, at night, some of our Class joined the other students, making in all about forty, and searched the neighborhood for barrels, boxes and fence- rails, which, when set afire, made a glorious and patriotic blaze. The grandeur of the scene was much increased by the stirring melody of the fish-horns with which we were plentifully provided. These strains fell upon the ears of the Sour Krouters who, aroused from their slumbers, supposed the town was on fire, and hurried off for the fire-engine. We, however, wound up our frolic by making across the river to Bethlehem for the purpose of hearing the returns. We intended being very quiet on our way over; but we were met by Old Griff one of the mighty cops of South Bethlehem, who, with much gesticulation, demanded why 29 we didn ' t stop that noise. After a short parley, we were permitted to proceed on our way to town, where we gave expression to our patriot- ism by giving, for the successful candidate, three cheers, which the sleepers of the Eagle have doubtless not yet forgotten. The small hours of the night found us creeping home, weary, as my readers doubtless are, of our efforts at making history. Historian. 80 RETROSPECT OF Commencement Day JUNE 21, 1877.

STRONG, ' 81, C. RENO, 82. 41 THE Athletic Association made its debut at the same time that this, our College publication, was first presented to its readers. With many difficulties at the start to overcome, doubtful of success in its beginning, as was also the Epitome, the Association has, with it, prospered, and gained strength with its age ; and now in the fullness of years, the College life of the average student, after a generation, we may say, of College existence, it can claim a firm foundation in the hearts of the students ; a good record of duties performed by and for them, and a vigorous constitution embodied in their support. It was expected, and earnestly desired, that such an organization would strengthen the College feeling, that esprit de corps so well recog- nized in all American Colleges ; and the increasing interest taken in the meetings by the students, and their hearty support of the Association, show that such has been the cas e. The interest cannot be estimated simplv by the number of entries, and has always been active and wide- spread. In the lack of the much-needed gymnasium, the opportunity and stimulation afforded by the games tends to develoji the students, and gives them much of the athletic training necessary to every college student. Although our best Athletes had, as we say, the material for such in them when they came, most of them have suftcred defeat in some contests before they have been victorious. This, with the improvement in the records shown at successive contests, proves that such development is going on. And it should encourage the students to enter the lists, since, though they do not meet with success in their first efforts, it may be waiting to crown those made after more thorough training. The discipline is often 42 as beneficial to the vanquished, and what there is of Saxon spirit in them should urge them to persevere and conquer their conquest. An interest in the meetings, and thus in the College itself, has been awakened fully equal to the expectations at the start ; and we may always be confident of meeting many of the friends of the College and of the students at our semi-annual gatherings, even though we have usually, been blessed with the most unfavorable weather — in fact, the farmers begin to rejoice when the familiar L. U. A. A. cards are posted. And this leads us to speak of a most pleasing encouragement to us, the interest manifested in our welfare by the ladies ; to their presence is due much of the enjoyment of the meetings; it is their applause which calls forth all the energies of the contestants ; and it is not to be feared that our games will ever decline while we are favored with their suppoit. And there are special gracious favors, and gracefully rendered, which are held in grateful remembrance by the Association, which add tenfold to the value of our medals, which so greatly increase the zest in their attainment. Our thanks are certainly due to the gentlemen who have so consci- entiously filled the positions of referee, judges, and time-keepers, often in the face of most ungracious weather ; the duties are not always pleasant, and, recognizing this, we are under the greater obligation for their judicious fulfillment. We have not lacked the graces of oratory at our prize presentations, and the spirit which prompts such kindness, and the interest displayed in our Athletics, are certainly appreciated by the students, and by all who have had the pleasure of listening to the presentation speeches. Our efforts, first confined to our own College, have assumed a broader sphere by the entrance of the Association into the Intercollegiate, and the participation in the contests by our representatives. We have sent contestants to two meetings, and the prize won by one of them at the first, and which through financial difficulties of the Intercollegiate has but lately been prepared, has been forwarded to Mr. Nostrand. The step has been of undoubted benefit to us ; it stimulates our con- testants here ; gives the students a standing among others, and the College a reputation. 43 The last meeting of our own Association was financially successful, no outside help having been asked for the needs of the Association. While such a success is a subject of congratulation, we must not forget that when money was required for the necessities of the meetings liberal sums have been contributed by friends of the University ; and, while it is greatly to be desired, and may almost confidently be expected, that the games will be self-supporting in the future, those who have so generously aided us in our earlier efforts will be remembered with kind and thankful feelings. There seems to be a fair prospect that the most urgent need of the College students and of the Association, a ground on which to train, and suitable for future meetings, will soon be prepared. This will give a new life to the Association, it will increase the interest both within and without the College, and will add greatly to the enjoy- ment of the contests, removing many objectionable features. We recommend the Association to our brother students to be cherished in the future. Uphold its honor and glory ! make it of benefit to yourselves and to the friends of our Alma Mater, in whose crown may the lustre of the Athletic Association be ever undimmed ! L. U. A.

As the Autumn morn was breaking on that lofty tower we stood, And the world threw off its darkness like the weeds of widowhood. At our feet the village slumbered ; from its chimneys here and there Wreaths of snow-white smoke ascending, vanish ghost-like in the air. With their faces dark and blackened, like the imps of nether hell. Stood si.x gallant youths of Lehigh working on the chapel bell. Then the clapper they secured, and, with footsteps soft and low, Down the shaky ladder clambered to their comrades there below. The Book of Chronicles. CHAPTER FIRST. IT was in the third year of the reign of John, the first month and fifth day, that the Class of ' 8i entered the temple of knowledge called Lehigh. And when they were gathered together, they numbered five and thirty men in the catalogue, but to the eyes of mortals they appeared as but six and twenty. Ana they were looked upon by the men of ' 80 with pretended scorn, for the men of ' 80 were sore afraid lest the warriors of ' 81 should fall upon them and slay them. And Avhen they were gathered together in the holy temple, behold John, ruler of the Lehighites. appeared before them arrayed in suitable apparel ; and he opened his mouth and spake unto them saying, Young gentlemen, are ye not better than the grass or the lilies of the field ? Are ye not sent here by your kinsfolk to be nurtured under my protecting wings ? Now, therefore, I say unto thee, whenever ye are in trouble come unto me, and make known unto me your secret thoughts, and whatsoever seemeth good, that will I do unto you; and his voice sank low, and he departed thence. And on the sixth day came they together, and did elect one Benjamin as chief of the tribe ; and did also elect one Charles, the same which smiled, to be second unto him ; and one John, also called the heart-breaker, as tax-gatherer; and Furman, the pretty little boy, as scribe; and Richard, the valiant youth, to record the deeds of valour of the tribe of ' 81. Now in the seventh day of that week, behold certain of the inhabi- tants of Bethlehem had a merry-making, yea, even a picnic, on the island called Sand, and many of the warriors of ' 81 were there, and each took unto himself a maid ; and ever after, at dewy eve, the warriors marched over the dividing river called Lehigh, into town on the other side, and took unto themselves the self-same maids which they had met at the merry-making. And they became mighty in the land, for the maids loved them. And the warriors grew and waxed strong, and did go to witness the trials of strength and the mighty runners, and the running Brook, and the Reed shaken by the wind ; and did carry canes with them, the same which was forbidden by the Sophomores of old time. And they fought valiantly, and fell upon the Sophomores and dispersed them. And the Sophomores fled like chaff scattered by the wind. Since which time have the warriors of ' 8i carried their canes. Now in this battle were they assisted by the Class called ' 79, whose chief was one Fitzwilliam, surnamed Sargent, who did pat them upon the back and say, Go it, Freshies! And ever after was Fitzwilliam much loved by the warriors of ' 81. Now these warriors excited hatred and envy in the hearts of the Bethlehemites, because the warriors were better loved by the maids than themselves, and it grieved them to the heart. So they came together, and said one to another, Come, here are the warriors, let us slay them, that the maids may be ours. So the Bethlehemites gathered themselves together on the day appointed by Rutherford for thanksgiving, having anger in their hearts and weapons in their hands. And on that same day four warriors of ' 81 came over into the town : and their names were Jeremiah, surnamed Grif, who was a mighty man of war ; and Haines, the Little Joker ; and Richard, surnamed Professor ; and the little one whom the foolish call Brown ; and they started for the temple, singing psalms and thanksgivings. And the adversaries saw and quickly sur- rounded them ; and one, the chief of the band, said unto the four, Didst thou revile me and call me harsh names ? And the four cried with one voice, Nay ! nay ! we did not revile thee. And Grif, the mighty one, opened his mouth and spake saying, We are only four, and ye are two and twenty ; therefore do not combat with us, but wait, and behold we will come over with the rest of the warriors another day, and do battle with ye. But the Bethlehemites hearkened not unto him, S6 but fell upon the four, and smote them hip and thigh. Howbeit, six of the adversaries were prostrated upon the ground ; but the four saw that they were overcome, and the fear of death was upon them, and with one accord they lifted their voices and called upon the guardians of the city. And the guardians of th e city heard them, and laid their heads together and said, Let us quickly away to another part ; for there are men of blood here, and they may smite us, which thing ought not to be done. And every man departed unto his own house, and staid therein until the next day. But the warriors were fleet of foot, and quickly sped away, and the Bethlehemites pursued them, even to the portals of the house of Frank the Good Samaritan, who giveth refreshments to the weary man and talketh earnestly of spiritual things. And Frank let them out by another door, and they fled into the darkness, and were no more seen of men that night. And when morn was come, the four appeared unto their comrades, and all were wroth at the Bethlehemites. And a council was held, and in the eventime three and ten of the men of ' 8i, together with a score of the sons of Tubal Cain, went over again even unto the city to avenge themselves on the Bethlehemites. And when they came to the entrance thereof they divided themselves into bands, and agreed among themselves that when the Bethlehemites attacked to cry, L. U, and then all would come to the combat. And they went up the street called Broad, and there they met the enemy, and one of them cried Hey ! and one of the warriors, named Barney, replied, I ' ll give you hey ! and he did even as he said ; and the Bethlehemites stretched out their hands to rescue the intrepid one, and the warriors rallied around Barney, and the two bodies fell upon one another ; but the sons of Tubal Cain stood afar off, not mingling in the strife. And the warriors said among themselves, Behold, this thing is not good ; let us then retire while there is yet time, and they did so, taking their wounded with them ; and the names of those sore hurt were John, who haileth from Youngstown, and Haines, who was one of the four ; and they went from the city to their own country, and did not return to the land of the Bethlehemites for the space of one week. And the Bethlehemites showed themselves unto the maids, and said, Will ye 57 now have us? But they answered, Nay; ye are men of blood and very wicked, and we will have naught to do with ye. And the Bethle- hemites never again troubled the warriors. Now in this city there dwelt a man, who sent a paper throughout the town; and he called his lying spirit unto him and said, Write quickly evil things and lies about these warriors; for 1 hate them, because they did not give me their book to publish, and see that they find no grace in the sight of the people of this city. And the scribe did as he was commanded, and called the warriors men debauched, and promoters of riot and sedition ; and one of the Bethlehemites wrote a song about the war, the same that is here given : — [For the Daily Times.] MODERN KNIGHT ERRANTRY. The brave knights of ' 8i, when they settled in this place, Took under their protection some maidens full of grace ; And they thus incurred the anger of some worthy youths in town. Who loved these pretty maidens, and on these knights did frown. They said, Vou ' d better stop it, or you ' ll get your ' mugs ' mashed, And be sure to keep your distance, for if we ever clashed, There ' d be some broken noses, and eyes closed for repairs ; And thus the feud was started, as the latest news declares. The knights then did assemble, and by their gods they swore : We ' ll teach those ' cads ' a lesson that they never learned before. Then with grim determination they arranged their attack, And until those cads were routed they swore they ' d ne ' er turn back. Some good and worthy citizens who crossed the bridge that night Saw a long, unbroken phalanx pass quickly ' fore their sight: And they heard low-whispered murmurs of wrongs to be erased, By the blood of all those villains, who them from love had chased, 88 They met the cads at Weirbach ' s, all ready for the fray, — They were not daunted by their size, nor what each foe did weigh. But with the rallying cry, ' ' L, U., they plunged into the fight, And monolithic fragments Hew promiscuous through the night. The knights were mended by doctors, with plasters and with thread, And with their nobly gotten scars were safely put to bed. And as they closed their eyes in sleep they thought, with saddened air, We heard, we came, we saw, and then — we went away from there. But the words of the scribe fell to the ground, and the warriors con- tinued from that time forth to find grace in the sight of the people. Now, during the first four months of the third year of the reign of John, behold six of the warriors fell sick, and were physicked and laid down and yielded up the ghost, and were gathered unto their fathers, and the names were William, surnamed Dick; and Samuel, and Jeremiah, one of the mighty four ; Charles, the same which smiled ; and James, and William. Now in the twenty-first day of the fourth month of the third year, the warriors took up their tents and departed unto their own countries from whence they had come. CHAPTER SECOND. It was on the twelfth day of the fifth month of the third year of the reign of John that the trumpets sounded and the warriors came together and did pitch their tents once again in the midst of the Bethlehemites. But for the following six months little was done by the warriors but hard study, save when certain maidens, of the house of learning for damsels, did give an entertainment, and arrayed themselves in the habiliments of men, and performed what the gentiles call a ballet ; and the warriors were mightily tickled thereat, and did raise a gleeful noise, for it seemed good unto them. 89 And again, soon after, when the mighty men did meet to strive for the prizes, the warriors did go to the place of contention in a gaily decked chariot, and took with them musical instruments, yea, even trumpets of brass ; and as they journeyed home, behold ! a grievous accident befell them, for their chariot wheel came off, so that they were compelled to walk on foot. Nevertheless were they not cast down in spirit, but formed themselves in a body and marched through the town, and did make much uproar therein, until they had crossed over to the other side. And there the guardians of the peace fell upon them, saying in a loud voice, Ye haythens ! stop this nise, or I ' ll brain ye. And the guards seized upon Benjamin, crying, Come with us, and they led him before the magistrate, and the magistrate said, I see no harm in him. And at that time Joseph, one of the mighty men of ' 79, appeared before the magistrate and said, Release him ! and the magistrate did as he was commanded and released him. Then were the warriors exceeding glad, and departed unto their own house. Now when the time of departure was drawing nigh, the tribe held a feast, and Benjamin the chief said unto them, Come, let us eat, drink and be merry, for on the morrow we flunk. And they did eat and drink that which did disagree with them ; for they looked upon the wine when it was red, and they became drunken, like men bereft of reason, and they did lift up their voices and did serenade the maidens of the large house on the corner, but to the inmates thereof their music seemed like the bowlings of wild beasts. And the warriors went over to their castle and made an uproar, so that the keeper of the castle, the eaves- dropper who sneaketh about and listeneth at the doors, was sore afraid, and ran quickly to the janitor and said, Take thy weapons and come with me, for the men of ' 81 are wild with drink, and will raze the hall to the ground. But when they returned, behold ! no one was there. And in the next week, the warriors went to a cross-questioning held by Arthur the tall man, who exceedeth by a cubit the height of all others ; and he did open his book, in which were written things which he nor the warriors understood, and did give them hard questions, for he was wroth with them. And the warriors answered not a word, but, 60 moreover, hung their heads in shame and confusion, and went out from there unto their sorrowing comrades. On the twentieth day of the tenth month of the third year, the men of ' 78 did appear before the people to speak unto them ; but when they beheld the multitude great fear and trembling fell upon them, so that they forgot that which they were to say and were put to shame. And on the next day the warriors again departed for their homes. Now these were the principal deeds done by the warriors of ' 81 during the third year of the reign of John, and what their future will be no man can tell ; but once when the prophet of ' 81 laid down to sleep, behold! a vision came upon him, and in his vision he saw all the warriors ascend a throne ; and there John, ruler of the Lehighites, did give unto each of them a parchment for a testimony, and then they spake to the people with exceeding grace, and then left the city for ever and became mighty men in the land; and each took a wife and raised up large families, and their sons in after years came to Bethlehem to fill the places which their fathers had occupied in the temple of learn- ing and in the hearts of the maidens of the city. 61 }-Jydrographical 3uRVEY EMBRACING Chemistry — Quantitative analysis of waters of Lehigh.

Fit Via Vi. 63 A Class Meeting of ' 8d BY THE CLASS POET. TH E wind was hushed and the owl was still, And the stars gave forth no light, When the order was given to every man, There ' ll be a meeting to-night. Every man then came at the midnight hour. The meeting to order was called; To the wild outpourings of their names The sullen word Here was bawled. Charley Abbott got up, with a solemn face. And he said, I don ' t see why ; But they knocked him down with a glass of beer. That hit him square in the eye. Arrowsmith gave his opinion, then. That he talked too much for his good ; But if he smoked, why then, you know, He ' d be quite excusable ; Blood ! Yelled the bearded brave from the far out West, Still fresh from his Buckeye home, Blood must I have from you, Tyrant Ar — But his voice died off in a moan, For they sat on his body and crushed him in. Here Broughal got up on Bourke ' s head, And tried to say he thought it was wrong ; He too was given up for dead, Since a prayer-book, thrown by a ruthless hand, Struck him full in his manly face. He clung to the floor with a tightening grasp. While the Senator took his place. He said, My Lords, envoys of Rome, But had scarcely uttered this. When Gray exclaimed, God spare us now 1 And forthwith began to hiss. This was too much for the noble Pat, For a scowl his face o ' erspread ; He struggled with (Jray for supremacy, And both rolled under the bed. Where their deep-toned snoring told that both In the arms of Morpheus lay. 64 Then Haldeman stood on the tcj) of the stove. And declared he ' d have his say ; What was that say, none ever knew, Alas ! none ever heard ; For the stove fell down and crnshed him in. And none of the crowd demurred. Ha, ha ! laughed Lee, in a joyful way, I ' was a fitting end for him, But a piece of Limburger stuck in his throat ; Loos clapped his back with vim ; Lee grappled Loos, thinking he was a foe, And both tumbled down the stairs, Where both lay locked in each other ' s arms, A loving, twmhke pair. Eynon rose and said, with a childlike smile, I ' ll bet my rocks on Lee ; Butler lifted his foot and showed him the door, Get before I count three ; He lifted him up by the hair of the head, And hanging him over a chair, Bestowed on his body a parting kick, And left him standing there. Mack yelled, You cousin of cross-eyed Ben, If you don ' t leave ofT that game, I ' ll bruise your eye with such speed and grace, That you won ' t know how it came ; The reason that this meeting was called to-night, Is because some Freshman bold Has bearded the lion in his den, At least so we ' ve been told ; And shall we let the lambkin go? Who dares our power to brave? No, by the.gods ! yelled Phillips ; no ! Let ' s Emmerich ' s moustache shave. But Rick, the friend of the doomed Fresh, Objected loud and long ; But Jenkin Reese agreed to this, And so did valiant Strong. Now WetheriU, he was for shaving it off. And Wittmer backed him with his bleating ; But while Zimmele admired himself in the glass, Lou Stockton adjourned the meeting. 65 3CENE DURING A P ECITATION of tJie ' 8 1 Laboratory Corps.

Any person wishing to perform any original chemical experi- ments should first apply to the experts Lee and Zimmele, who will give them information that may prove to be beneficial. The value of the information (which they impart gratis) cannot be disputed, as it is the result of personal experience. N.

IT has been said that Genius consists in an enormous capacity for taking trouble, and very high authorities, such as Lord Derby, attest the truth of the statement. Whether it be so or not we admit to have taken AN ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF TROUBLE in bringing the Ready-made Clothing Busi- ness to its present improved condition. We commenced with a study of all its bearings, and have not stopped at the minutest details. W e select not only the materials out of which the Clothing is to be made, but carefully choose the lining and trimmings of all kinds ; even the silk with which our goods are sewed is made expressly to our order.
