S those who have preceded us have done, so do we, in venturing upon the editing of this little work, which will register another leaf among the annals of our Alma Mater. To you, our worthy professors, who have always given us kindly aid and careful attention in forming us for an honorable struggle in our life-battle, we present our greeting, feeling con- fident that you, who best know our capabilities, will judge leniently of what is contained in this, our first literary under- taking. We greet you, friendly alumni, whom we hope at some future day to take by the hand and be ranked among. May you find in this things which will recall your, perhaps, truant memory to the time when you were laboring in these same walls and strove to wield the pen to produce such a work as this. You, fellow students, with whom we have been for the past year co-workers, united by one of the strongest of bonds — that of friendship — we greet, hoping that the Epitome will depict to you scenes with which you are, at present, familiar, but which, after you enter upon your several life duties, will grow dim in your remembrance; then, if you shall have preserved these pages, they will need but a passing glance to re-portray to you a few of the pleasing incidents of one year of your college life. Kind reader, we greet you, trusting that you will not thrust hastily aside our first attempt with the pen, but that you will peruse it carefully, and if you do, you may discern what will afford you a little pleasure. You may, now, he inclined to slight our work, but we believe that the time will come when it will be sought for as much, and considered as great a curiosity, as the first complete edition of Shakspeare, or as the United States cent of 1815. During the past year much has happened to the University for its good, but we must record one event which has caused heartfelt sorrow to all. Suddenly we were called to mourn the death of our kind friend and benefactor, Judge Asa Packer. A sadness, such as will probably never again be experienced, prevailed in and around our walls. All felt the loss of one so kind, genial, beneficient and Christian-like. His generous and pleasing nature exhibited itself to every one. No more would those needing assistance have him for counselor and steadfast friend. What he did for our in stitution and many neighboring oiks, is well known, but no estimate can be made of his numer- ous kindly, personal aids. We miss him for much, but mostly because there is wanting from our midst that upright, true man and Christian. Judge Packer ' s gift of two millions of dollars to Lehigh University and her Library, secures, as far as wealth can, their future prosperity. With the income of five hundred thousand dollars, the alcoves of our magnificent Library Building will soon be over-crowded. A large number of volumes have been placed on the shelves within the past six months, making about twenty thousand now ready for use. In the place of the old tower of Packer Hall stands a much finer one, which we believe will not need such a tearing down as its predecessor received. Since last Spring a porter ' s lodge has been erected at the entrance to the grounds and much else done to advance the beauty and grandeur of University Place. We are much pleased to note the appointment of our kind instructor, S. Ringer, Esq., to the position of adjunct-professor of History. In our opinion, a more desirable choice could not have been made. The number of students this year is largely in excess of last. In the freshman class we are pleased to see a good repre- sentation of foreign students, which shows that Lehigh University is highly esteemed abroad. The Athletic Association is to be congratulated on the acquirement of its long desired object — the completion of the Eastern portion of the University grounds into a course, on which to hold, hereafter, the semi-annual athletic meetings. The interest taken in the sports is on the increase, and the suc- cessful competition of one of our students,at the Inter-Collegiate meeting of last Spring, has brought our physical vigor into more than passing notice. We regret that R. H. Lee, Jr., who was appointed as one of the editors of our Epitome, on account of his leaving the University, has been obliged to tender his resignation from act- ing on the editorial staff. As poets, journalists and the like are born, not made, we pass these pages into your hands, kind reader, awaiting from you a mild judgment concerning them, as they are but the crude results of mistaken genius.

It seems but V3 yesterday when we began the basement of our structure of knowledge, and now the roof is very nearly laid. Who of us does not remember the day the sixty strong appeared here for the first time, in September, 76 ? It was the largest class Lehigh ever saw. The record of ' 80 up to the Junior year has been presented in previous histories; but I can not begin to recount the last year ' s events without giving a summary of a few of ' 80 ' s most prominent deeds. We have faith- fully upheld the customs set by previous classes; we carried canes as freshmen, rushed ' 81 for their canes, buried logic, and as sophs challenged the freshmen in foot ball, which, though an unsatis- factory game, resulted in our victory. We published the Epitome, and when there was a college base ball nine, had more than our share of representatives. In athletics we have, so far, taken sixty-one per cent, of all the first prizes, besides many second ones. We had a hazing party whose career was un- fortunate, in that the atmosphere of Lehigh was declared too hazy for its safety, and its members were, consequently, granted a vacation in order to recuperate. September, ' 78, saw ' 80 back at Packer Hall, ready for anything which might turn up. There is always something to do, and where there is a will there is a way. The first exploit was the capture of a white elephant. It was Fall and the night was cold. The wind, in its hurry on- ward, became angered at being resisted, and resentfully cut each figure as it stood waiting. The moon, half frozen, winked 14 an eye and looked down with a shiver. Not a word was spoken, and yet they all had more tongue that night than they knew how to dispose of. The trip to the mines, for the purpose of making surveys, was one long to be remembered. Besides showing what kind of work we did, it also proved us to 1 e of an investigating nature. What with wading knee-deep in mud, and crowding through narrow passages, and leveling steep ascents, the party had enough to do to defend themselves from traditional rats and imperiling their souls by using superlatives. But ' 80 never does the latter, so there was not much exertion on that score. The closing feature of the Junior year was a class banquet, which was celebrated at the Sun, and which, judging from the spirit displayed, was enjoyed by all. We had complete posses- sion of the entire building; in fact we brought the garret and sel- ler into our presence. The guests of the Sun no doubt thought it was a heinous affair. The rosy-fingered morn had blushed itself away before ' 80, after a most pleasant evening of toasts and song, dispersed from the last meeting of the term. In September last, we assembled as Seniors, eleven in num- ber. What a contrast to the same month three years previous, when sixty hearts approached the halls with misgivings concern- ing their fellow-students ! But how soon the distrust vanished ! As seniors we could look about us and mark how we appeared in each succeeding development, and the tender-hearted ones — we all are — could sympathise with those in need of sympathy. ' 80 has been honored by the gods ! Hymen visited us and marked one of our number for his own, leaving him, however, to complete his course. It is sad to realize, that, after three years so happily spent together,we should have separated from us one of our bestmen,and that so suddenly. In the death of Irwin Brooke, our class sec- retary, we feel a heavy loss. He was always in high esteem, not only for his spirit, but also for his good principles. But we bow in deference to the Will by which is done only what is good and for the best. 15 The approaching end of our course brings sadness to many, notwithstanding it marks the completion of one period of our lives. During our sojourn here we have had many a good time, which has endeared the place to us. To those to whom we are indebted for a pleasant hour, or evening, or day, we extend our thanks. To those who have encouraged us in any of our enter- prises, we also owe our gratitute. We leave Lehigh not as we found her. Since our arrival the magnificent Library Building has been erected, the athletic grounds established, and the campus changed from chaos to order. It is no longer the disfigured forest which we discovered, but a beautiful park prettily laid out. Let us hope that Lehigh leaves us not as she found us but that our minds are also properly ordered, and the knowledge here received is arranged so as to be ready when called for. Some of us have future plans marked out, while others will, like Micawber, wait for something to turn up. In whatever pursuit we engage, let us Trust no Future, howe ' er pleasant ! Let the dead Past bury its dead ! Act — act in the living Present ! Heart within and God o ' erhead. ' Historian. 16 ' 81. IIOTI MONOS HO SOrilOS PLOUSIOS. CLASS COLOR— PUKPLE. OFFICERS. R.

The name that dwells on every tongue No minstrel needs. S Juniors we stand before the gaze of an admiring world with even more laurels than our sophomoric escutcheon bore. Two years are gone and we are starting from the turning stake toward the goal. Happy years they were, and as w r e look back over the pages of the past and recall to our minds the pleasing reminiscenses of those by-gone days, we wonder if the future will be as pleasant. As year after year rolls by, new faces greet us and old familiar ones are bidding us adieu. Among those missed, are many of our own class : out of the original twenty-six but fourteen are left to grope their way through the mysteries of science and literature. And the rest, you ask, where are they? But as we neither possess the power of ubiquity nor are highly endowed with prophetic ability, we will not attempt so difficult a query. Suffice it to say, Jimmie has turned granger and is raising wheat on the distant prairies of Iowa; Jenkin, being of a practical turn of mind, is digging dusty diamonds in the mines of Scranton; Phil, not to be put down by insubordination, has retired from his old haunts of Bethlehem, and now graces the freshman class of Princeton, where[he has renewed his old game of trying to 19 bulldoze the faculty; the words of our oft repeated song seem well adapted to point out the remaining ones of our class — Pome have gone to lale and Harvard, Some to Princeton and Cornell. But to our history. When last year we found ourselves Sophomores, we felt it a duty devolving upon us to initiate the Freshmen into the mysteries of college life, not in the semi-bar- barous manner shown by ' 80 the previous year, but with true respect to their feelings and dignity. As homeless and friend- less waifs we cared for them; when they cried for mamma and would not be comforted, we gave them milk; in the words of the Scriptures, ' ' Homeless I found ye and I took ye in, naked, and I clothed ye. In the annual game; of foot ball between the Sophomores and Freshmen we were worsted by ' 82, but amply made up for that defeat by taking every cane in the rush at the athletic sports. In November, 1878, we took the usual visits of inspection with the professor of chemistry, and, be it said, generally came back to Bethlehem sober — a thing never before known in sopho- moric annals. In December, 1878, the annual Epitome was published by our class, and far surpassed all former issues, the editors striv- ing to make it more of a literary publication than in former years, and less of a mere compilation of facts. In athletics we covered ourselves with glory, carrying off over half the prizes at the Spring meeting. The class supper at the Eagle was the last thing of note during the sophomore year. The following morning found one poor fellow on the porch of the Eagle singing The Lord de- livered Daniel, why can ' t He deliver me ? Another one in the arms of Morpheus on Monocacy bridge; a third, the most di- lapidated of them all, was found in front of the Doctor ' s house on the campus; and yet Charlie insists that he did not order strengthened claret. We must not forget to mention that our noble Pat, the orator, managed to capture the Wilbur Scholarship, having scored the highest average mark ever made in Lehigh. 20 But past are those scenes, and hand in hand we struggle on the home stretch ; and it is to be hoped that none of us will fall by the wayside, and that ' 81 will graduate the largest class that has, as yet, left the halls of our University.

HISTORY OF ' EIGHTY-TWO I HE present year finds the Class of ' 82 diligently plodding I through its college course, having passed from Freshmen — that thing of ridicule — to the dignity and importance of Sophomores. However, as our last year ' s record followed us only to the present date, we shall, as faithful historian, need to condescend and chronicle the events of the latter part of our Freshman year. Our Class, somewhat diminished in number by the Christ- mas examinations, and not reinforced from other sources, as is frequently the case, returned, at the end of the holidays, with quite a respectable number, all invigorated for the hard work then before them. The event of the Spring was the Athletic Sports, held May 3d, at Rittersville Park. The difficulty of reaching the ground called forth a class meeting and much more wrangling than the importance of the subject seemed to necessitate ; but the decision was finally in favor of a brewery wagon as our means of transportation. We judged from the vociferous cheer- ing of the assembled multitude as we started, with Class colors flying and horns blowing, that the effect was very fine. The sports were all that could be desired in attendance and ex- citement, and the customary Hop proved quite a success. The usual monotonous college existence followed this event, enlivened, now and then, by an examination and the boning which precedes it. On the 17th of June we held our Class Supper at the Sun Hotel. Much might be said in praise of the Supper and its enjoyments. Of the claret punch, the less said the better, as its 24 strength, (about one pint to the gal.) would hardly stand it. Some of our number, ambitious of being a little jolly, had to give up on the twelfth glass — capacity being limited. On the 3d of September we returned to the Halls of Lehigh, whem, to oui surprise, we found a large number of verdant Freshmen in possession. They bade fair to keep us busy in their suppression; nevertheless, a few weeks ' acquaintance proved them to be quite lamb-like, and no hazing seemed necessary. In the course of the month hostilities broke out between the two classes, which showed themselves in a cane rush; when, as has been often repeated in history, valor was overcome by numbers. The half-hour tussel which ensued, severe upon both forces, won for the Freshmen permission to sport the stick, and, judging from the number that f lourished in the hands of the Class of ' 83 on the following Sunday morning in chapel, there must undoubtedly have been a corner in the cane market. Our annual bonfire, although not accompanied with the excitement attendant upon last year ' s, would hold its own among many. To this fact the South Bethlehem merchants can perhaps testify. The much-deplored absence of that nerve- soothing instrument, a tin horn, diminished considerably the noise, if not the excitement ; the Freshmen having neglected to provide themselves, and so quietly and respectably did the affair pass off, that not one member of the Police Corps or Fire Department appeared upon the scene. Thanks to the beneficence of college patrons, the liberality of the students, and the exertions of Prof. Chandler, Lehigh can now boast of its own grounds for athletic sports. The grounds were formally opened on Founder ' s Day, Oct. 9th, 1879, at which date the Fall Sports took place. The weather was un- usually propitious, and the sports most successful. ' 82 came out with a fair share of prizes ; and some of the recipients wear their medals as though they were the Cross of the Legion of Honor. In closing our history let us hope that the good feeling which has so far prevailed in our class may continue ; and that 25 when Ave separate to take our places in the ranks of the world ' s workers, we may look back upon our intercourse, not with regret, but with pleasure.

A history is a continuous narrative of events, and a historian a compiler of them; but in .a case like ours, the events of two months ' life in college are necessarily very few, and rather far between. There- fore Ave greatly fear that we cannot claim, for our narrative, much continuity; but making a virtue of necessity, we shall claim at least one good quality: brevity. And then it is the duty of a historian to collect and combine, arrange and relate, such events as shall, by the addition, here and there, of a few points supplied by his own imagination, make an instructive and pleasing whole. Now, when every one here is so convers- ant with the few events which have happened to the class in this short time, the collecting and combining, arranging and relating of them amount altogether to very little in a historical sense ; and as for the imaginary part of the work, it of course is the least of all, for if we were to begin to invent and insert points from our own imagination, they would soon exceed the realities. Hence we conclude that this short description of our deeds claims, in only a slight degree, the name of history, and that the writer of it has no need of the qualities and character- istics which are usually found in a historian. The class of ' 83 entered with thirty-two members, and at present, instead of being diminished in numbers, has increased to thirty-eight. At the outset it was noticeable that we had a solid and united class, which was fully demonstrated on the morning of September loth, when at the college election we seemed to vote as one man, thereby ruling it and spoiling some carefully concocted schemes. 30 The afternoon of the same day was the time appointed for the annual game of base ball between the Sophomores and Freshmen. Notwithstanding the rain and the miserable con- dition of the ground, four innings were played, at the end of which ' 82 had scored seventeen, and ' 83 fourteen runs. It was a poor game and was no test of the ability of either side, as both the score and the time (two hours ) indicate. It is here our opportunity and pleasure to thank the umpire, B. F. Haldeman for his uniform fairness and quickn ess in deciding the many difficult points which arose on account of the bad condition of the field. One Friday night the rumor was set afloat that one of our men would appear next morning at chapel with a cane. Chapel time came and with it all the class of ' 82, prepared to contest the matter; but alas for their dignity and preparation, it was a sell, and they departed with many imprecations against the wily Freshmen. But on Saturday morning, Sept. 27th, one of our men (?) did appear with a cane after chapel. Of course this was the sign for an immediate onslaught by the men of ' 82. For twenty-five minutes the strife was fierce and hot, and then our opponents, resolved to conquer — or not to conquer, as the case might be — prepared for one desperate, final rush by taking advantage of the sloping terrace near by, hoping that the in- clined surface would impart enough momentum to make up for lack of numbers. But, Alas for the rarity Of college class purity, Win they could not. A few more men on their side would have made the contest more interesting and lively, as we had the superiority in numbers. Thus a second time already and in a different manner has our solidity been shown. In the athletic sports, held on Founder ' s Day, we were quite successful. Although those who entered from our class had little time for preparation and training, owing to the fact that most of them were getting off conditions at that time, yet we succeeded in taking three first and four second prizes. There- ::i fore we have a fair chance of taking quite a number at the next Spring meeting. Hazing died a natural death the day o f our entrance; not a single case has been heard from this term, and we think that if our class continues as large as it is now, there will be little chance for any. If we were at all vain-glorious we might take much praise to ourselves for having thus, so summarily, broken up, at least for the time being, this mischief-working college custom. At the present writing our class has a bright prospect; many of us have already gotten off our conditions, and our suc- cess, so far, not only in our studies, but in the cane rush and athletic games, indicates a studious, industrious, and at the same time an athletic set of fellows; but time makes wondrous changes. However, the future success, changes and happenings in the class will be related, if he be permitted to remain in that capacity that length of time, by its Historian. 32 RETROSPECT OP UNIVERSITY DAY, THURSDAY, JUNE 19th, 1870.

As the excuses were quite stale ami old, Some new ones to the Doctor must be told. A few were up for sins so very new, Of course they had no fear for what to do. The first one called he many times had seen This very room, aud so was not so green. As Lee, with falt ' ring steps and bowed down head. Came in the room, the Doctor rose and said: A night or two ago you got quite tight By drinking wine — to lie would not lie right. I have such proof of what you then did do, I ' ll not take what you say, just now, as true. Now Lee was, if the truth were known, not tight. For he refrained from every drink that night: 50 But knowing to deny it would be bad For him, as crowding back a mental gad, He said (his voice it seemed so full of shame,) I know it truly, Sir, and take the blame, That soon he was dismissed, as he this chaff Had giv ' n. But then the Doctor had to laugh When he recited it to all his crew, And when they saw the hum ' rous part, laughed too. Poor little Ed., the yank, was then called in, The ringing of the tower bell, his sin. Then he, not falt ' ring, said, I never meant To ring it, Sir, it was an accident. This good excuse he took and nothing said. The next was John, his heart as if t ' were lead. Against him many were the charges made, So numerous excuses he essayed; To all complaints which were against him charged, He said he thought they were, most all, enlarged; Responses in the Chapel he had made As they were wished; his voice he had not stayed, But spoke out loud in his unfeigned deep tones, Which we thought sounded much like hollow groans; Nor did he ever, when in drawing class, Across the room throw swift a tinting glass; To ev ' ry charge did he a plea put in, And no one could against him prove a sin. So with admonitions he was excused, He mutt ' ring that he had been much abused. The next brought in were two, and Juniors then, But now as Seniors think that they are men. To them was charged, that when in open boat, They made some wicked plans to wet the coat Of the instructor, who, as they had tried To make a survey of the river ' s side, Had gone along to aid them in their work. From this grave charge not either one did shirk, But bore it bravely and put in this plea: That they were unawares (0, pshaw!) that he Was standing up, nor did they mean to jump Out from the boat together and thus dump Him by the rocking of the craft. Indeed, As both gave in this same excuse, no need The faculty could see for keeping them, For proofs were wanting wherewith to condemn. For absences, large numbers are called in And arc excused, for that ' s a minor sin; Still, all of us before them hate to go, For they do hack and pick apart one so, And every time their cruelty increase, That after once, they never give him peace, But haul him up for every little crime And soon he leaves us for a stated time. My friends, be very careful what you do, And don ' t be up before this raging crew. 51 TYPICAL FRESHMEN iNo. 1. Being green, his main o1 ject in life is to conceal it. Of course he smokes, drinks, wears his ] ;it on the hnck of his head, stands on the top step and spits beyond the bottom one without taking his hands out of his pockets, and uses bad language on all occasions, especially when in the hearing of upper classmen. He spends his spare hours in the janitor ' s room, gleaning points on all subjects relating to the College, which he immediately, with the air of having been born knowing them, communicates to his be- nighted classmates at the top of his voice. When or- dered to stop his infernal racket, he retires mortified but not suppressed, and with still enough pluck to refrain from touch- ing his hat to any professor he may chance to meet. Among other bright and manly things, he tries to chew tobacco in recitation but finds it rather inconvenient not to spit, and, after filling the chalk-trough with tobacco juice, and flunking horri- bly, retires, vanquished, to the nearest place of seclusion to un- burden the anguish of his soul. Of this type, which is rather the least inoffensive and most easily moulded, are the largest number of Freshmen. No. 2. Tlic studious boy. This individual has come to College to study. He has seen the folly of his ways and discovered that life is a stern reality and the world a Golgotha and place of skulls, so he puts away childish things and burns with a desire to be a man. He attends Chapel regularly, Sun- days and week-days; not because he likes Chapel (Heaven forbid!) but because it is a rule of the institution and as such, c, etc. He is politic and spends much time and labor in getting on the right side of his professors and instructors. Walk- ing, sitting or standing, he always has his nose in a book or is taking notes. He is oftenest found in the Library, seated at one of the smaller tables, surrounded by massive dictionaries and reading the Life of George Washington, Martin Luther, or A. T. Stewart. Such is his desire to study, that he occasionally sub- stitutes his text-book for his prayer-book during the Chapel service; but this always surreptitiously because he is most politic when most devout, and because he has an instinctive idea of the eternal fitness of things. He confides to his room- mate, (and his room-mate, faithless wretch, passes it on to the next, ) that by following this course he hopes to become — well, even President of the United States, who knows? Too often however, he is led far, alas ! very far astray, and develops into a Sophomore of the bold, bad stamp; thus verifying the old say- ing, A good beginning makes a bad ending. 53 No. 3. The blase youth from the city. This is the dizzy lad who has seen all, been all, done all. He is rarely seen to smile; never at things which amuse other people. He never wonders, is never surprised, you can never tell him any- thing. He knows everybody and everything in the theatrical and sporting line; to ask him if he has seen Pinafore is to insult him. His con- versation has at all times an intense and absorb- ing interest, owing to the number of lies he is capable of telling per minute; and in this he dis- plays an ingenuity and a wily forethought which, while com- manding respect, causes the listener to hold his breath and pray, and the hair of his fellow-Freshmen to rise. He is con- stantly dodging some murderous policeman, irate father or large German brother, and is always in financial embarrass- ment. It is only from these things that he drives the excite- ment necessary to his existence, as he will explain to you con- fidentially, when he borrows your last quarter, having probably an hour before offered you a bet of ten dollars. College is tame and wearies him inexpressibly, and, being essentially a fast man, he graduates at his first examination. 54 DUET FROM SOPHOMORE. AN UNPUBLISHED OPERETTA. Y OUNG man, at last I ' ve finished by detecting, Sing, hey! the gay deceiver that you are, That studies all for love you ' ve been neglecting, Sing, hey! the merry maid behind the bar. Oh! I know all about it, And have no cause to doubt it, You ' re seen too oft on t ' other side of that same bar. Oh! Sir, you must have had communication, Sing, hey! my kind but too acute Papa, With him whose forte is great exaggeration, Sing, hey! a former pleader at the bar. Is it from my report, sir, That you ' ve been so mistaught, sir ? Ah, well ! I simply like the free-lunch at that bar. Your explanation sadly is deficient, Sing, hey! the hardened rascal that you are, So young and yet in guile, oh! so proficient, Sing, hey! the merry maid behind the bar. If free-lunch you must eat, sir, I bar you this great treat, sir, Just buy your beers hereafter at some oth-er bar. 55 SCENES IN RECITATIONS. Student. — Mr. Rice, how would you project a round body? Mr. Rice. — We will not disturb the spheres at present. (Score one for Mr. R.) Mr. Meaker. — (Soliloquizing, whole class being asleep.) You can never deduce a general rule from a special case. For in- stance, if you see a man with a wooden leg and a gray coat, it does not follow that all men who wear gray coats have wooden legs ; or that all men who have wooden legs wear gray coats. Mr. Meaker. — What seems to be the trouble with your work, Mr. L— tt? Mr. L — tt. — ( Who has been staring fixedly at the black-board for forty-Jive minutes.) Why, I don ' t remember what the square root of 1 is, and I have forgotten how to extract it. Mr. Meaker. — Mr. D — k — n, what is that figure which you have on the board ? Mr. D — k — n. — ( Scratching his head. ) I think it is a polygon, but I can ' t remember how many sides a polygon has. Dr. Leavitt. — ( To Mr. Cunningham, who is being examined.) Now, Mr.Cunningham, can you tell me who was in Alexander — ah ! er — I should say who was in Egypt al tout this time ? Mr. Cunningham. — ( With painful thought. ) Alexander, sir. Dr. Leavitt. — Very well answered, Mr. Cunningham. Your memory of these minor details is remarkable! Mr. R — ff. — ( Waiting to go to recitation, to Freshman.) Mister, don ' t stand there, looking at me with that seductive smile, you ' ll make me forget all I ever knew. Freshman.— {Mildly. ) I guess that is ' nt much. (Freshman being 6 ft. x 160 lbs. is not annihilated.; Me. Meaker. — (Giving out a ' problem.) A grab-bag contains 3 blue, 8 white and 11 red balls. The red balls count one each, the white 3, and the blue 4. Now what are the probabilities of 8 being drawn in 4 grabs ? Student. — The probabilities are that I would grab a zero if I grabbed all day. A FEW FACTS. (AjLTHOUGH containing only sixteen members, all of the ( 7 seven courses of the University are represented by ' 82; were there a course in theology, we can ' t say whether it would be personated or no, but we presume it would ; the one most likely to head the list being our yankee, Ed. Although di- vided up so much into the different courses, we, nevertheless, have much in common. Our unity is perhaps best shown by our choice of intoxicating liquors, for in that as in nearly every thing else, we go as one ; and whilst we blush deeply and feel greatly ashamed of ourselves for falling into such a degrading habit, we hope the reader will not be hard on us for our weak- ness, for we are far from home and have scarcely anything to cheer us up in our hours of solitude but a glass of our favorite beverage — soda water. We have also a great habit of collecting in large crowds on the street corners, and when Bethlehem ' s corps of police bids us disperse, we sternly look that formidable body in the eye and — run. And in many other ways is our unity of action shown; but our individual members deserve a little attention. Dick we bring on first, as we go according to alphabetical order; were we to go by length, Hop would be first; if by the least amount of material other than skin and bones, we should present Felix, (seldom called Lawall;) if accord- ing to the largest amount of blowing, Lou. But let it be Dick, of whom we have not much to say. He should never be believed on any account, although he did tell the truth once when he informed a Freshman that he was, at some past time, a medical student at a certain university. He takes the 68 greatest pleasure in telling about that dear old place, East Haddam, and in relating a wonderful story connected with it. Of Doran not much is known, except that he expects, at some future day, to be able to tell the difference between the chemical composition of a sheet-iron stove and the University bell. Turk ' s main object is to rise and shine in the laboratory, and although he did flunk, he did so with the greatest grace imagin- able, yet to use his familiar and original expression, yes, damme, it ' s too bad ! Noisy, or Lou, has the appearance of a bad, bold man, but is quite harmless, and we hope the Fresh- ies will no more fear and keep out of his way as heretofore ; like the Pope, he considers that he is infallible, and does his tall and lofty swearing by himself. Although he makes a specialty of no particular thing, we would advise him to try blow-piping, as he is the best fitted for anything that requires wind. Our Yankee takes great delight in exaggerating his tales to a remark- able degree, for without it they would be quite tame ; he is often seen overcome by love of science, and groping after botanical specimens ; the too frequent use of pepper-mint candy is, we fear, fast bringing him to an early grave ; he says he has re- formed — we sincerely hope so. As to Hop, he says he never loved a dear gazelle, but we have great and good reasons to doubt it; nevertheless, he would be taken for a minister were it not for his uniform good behavior. Felix, we are ex- ceedingly sorry to say, loves, not wisely, but too much, a maiden of two hundred pounds weight. People often have difficulty in distinguishing him when he is between them and the sun, and he has sometimes been used as a knife ; as his name implies, he is, to all outward appearances, the happy man of the Class. Eddie, who wants to be an angel, when for- bidden by pa to have a flame, has recourse to the worst and most shocking profanity; it fairly raises us from our seats to hear him rip out, at an unexpected time, his particularly heart-rendin g oath — PSHAW! — and the worst of it is, he means it. We are beginning to think Shankie will come to a bad end ; his last love shipped him for lying, and now he uses his time wandering through the streets ; he is said to be bashful, 59 we don ' t know about that, but he shows a remarkable faculty for getting sick at the right time. Of the habits of our funny man, Morrow, not much is known; he has been observed, how- ever, to prowl around New and Broad streets, on Saturday even- ings, and to sit on a certain church fence, waiting for some- body to come out; it was also by the wishes of the somebody that he rid himself of his habit of wearing burnsides ; he grows tired of looking over print works with the professor of chemistry, and so cuts, and for recreation makes a thorough inspection of the intricate machinery of locomotive works. Neither is much known of the two brothers, Reno C. and W. The former could not stand a large amount of dutch and so takes a spe- cial course, and tries to be in three classes at once. The latter is not much seen by us, for he is generally sick in class, the back of his neck cold or something else the matter with him. Ruff, of us all, exhibits the most heartfelt detestation for Freshmen, and he cannot hide his feelings of animosity toward them ; not loud but deep are his curses upon them. Little Sammy would at first be taken for a pill box, but on close inspection, like Goldsmith ' s schoolmaster, that one small head shows that one might be mistaken. The German of the Germans, or Sweitzer, looms up before us : his chief occupation is moan- ing over a low mark and boot-licking the professors, before whom he tries to appear well. With Chimney we com- plete our list ; shrouded in gloom, he roams about and showers blessings upon the laboratory and all connected with it; Carajo is one of his favorite words when in a fit of temporary insanity about his chemical apparatus. In everything is ' 82 a very good and proper class. Although the instructor of modern languages used to tell us that we were the worst class that ever entered L. U., we have reason to doubt it, and believe all such opinions about us will eventually change. We are a class that has never cut a recitation — in fact, we con- sider it wicked to do so. Again, it ' s a beautiful class : if you want proof of that, look it over and you will be convinced. WHO, AH! WHO? Grates India, rubber into his egg nogg after the first round ? (Haldeman ?)

My own precious darling: Imagine my sorrow at being informed that I could not go out in town this afternoon, because Mr. Wolle and [the .rest of this line is lost.— Eds.] did not know that I was allowed to visit in town, so we will have to dispense with our anticipated trip to the island for to-day on account of circumstances. My own pet, when I am far from school duties, how happy we will be. We will be together all the time and then what bliss for us both. This, my love, is not an answer to your own sweet letter, for I have not time at present, but will write the sweetest letter you ever read or ever will read, to-morrow; so my own sweet darling, have patience, for patience is a virtue, and I am sure my only love possesses this quality; and now, angel of my dreams and supposed partner of my joys and sorrows, and now, my sweet love, till death severs the newly made bond, I am yours in life and death with the passionate love of an ardent heart. Your own Sweet, Devoted and Loving In imagination I kiss my own lover once more, and were he by So near and my side, I would not only kiss yet so far. him once, but a thousand times. This is a correct copy of a letter actually written to a student (we blush for him) of Lehigh University, and as it was placed in our hands by a perfectly responsible party with a request to publish it, we do so, knowing mine of the parties concerned. — Eds. 63 N Mr. Bailey ' s room we test, Though ' tis our detestation; .

If the University Library were open on Sunday, the stu- dents might go there and read instead of doing many other things less profitable and less becoming the day. Now that the balance-room is not opened until after Chapel, something in the way of a coat-room should be provided. At present, unless a student chooses to come up to the University in a freezing condition, he must drag from one room to another overcoat, overshoes, umbrella, and an armful of books. The thanks of the students are due and hereby tendered to Prof. Chandler, to whose enterprise and energy the University owes the possession of its new Athletic Grounds. We also thank the professors and officers of the University for their willing and subdantial aid in the construction of these grounds. All that is now needed is the promised leveling and filling necessary to make a fine place for base ball. The custom of having regular recitations while the exami- nations are going on, is, in our opinion, useless, and unjust. It is useless because it is a settled fact that no student who has a recitation and an examination on the same day will look at the subject of the recitation unless he is well up on the subject of the examination. It is unjust because if the student fails to at- tend the recitation he gets an absence ; and if he attends and is not prepared, he gets a zero. It is also unjust because the stu- dent should be allowed to give his undivided attention to the examinations, in which he naturally wishes to do as well as possible. It is a very serious thing for a student with his full allowance of absences to have a recitation on the same day as, and just previous to an examination for which he is not well prepared, and no student should be required to do it. We are to have no more hops in the Drawing Room. The reason is supposed to be the fear of some injury to those new desks. How very absurd. The new desks are strong and firm and could be moved up in one corner without the slightest in- jury. The students have always done this moving as well as the other work for the arrangement of the room for dancing purposes, themselves, and now to be denied the use of not only the least expensive, but also the only appropriate and good- sized hop-room in the town, because of some new desks, is exasperating. Our hops should be encouraged and identified with the University as much as our Athletic Sports have been, and the good they would do the University would more than counterbalance the harm done to those new desks. It is to be hoped that after one or two generations of Freshmen have hacked, defaced and put their marks upon them,that those new desks may not only be looked at, but actually moved and touched. In the meantime we suggest glass cases and red vel- vet cushions for those sweet, tunnin ' ' ittle new desks. Why is it that while with employes the graduates of Le- high are always above par, the number of students attending the University is always so small ? Is it because the University is not so much or widely known ? Is it because the standard is above the average ? Is it because the tuition in all branches is free ? At the death of Judge Packer almost every newspaper in the country contained an eulogy upon his life, and the University was at the same time noticed and spoken of as one of his many noble works. Notwithstanding this the next Fresh- man class was only a little larger than the average, and much smaller than might have been expected. The standard may be 68 above the average standard, but it is not higher than that of many other colleges, and is certainly not above the average capacity. The only reason for a slim attendance which we have ever heard put forth, is, that students do not like the tuition in all departments free, saying that it sounds so much like a charity school. Absurd as this is, it may be the true cause, and if so, would it not be well to have some fees, though they be small and merely nominal, in order that this obnoxious clause be removed ? Lehigh University with all its present wealth and advantages should be full to overflowing;. m Business Di e ectof y The subjoined advertisements represent the best and most reliable houses the two towns afford.

STUNT HOTEL, BETHLEHEM, PA. THE OLD MORAVIAN SUN HOTEL, at Bethlehem, Penn ' a, is one of the institutions of this country that has a history. Erected in 1758 by the Moravian Society as a House of Entertain- ment, it is now consequently in its 121st year as a Summer Resort. For nearly one hundred years it was carried on by the Church, as a hotel. Previous to the Revolutionary War, during the Proprietary Govern- ment, the officials of that regime were accustomed to frequent it. whilst dur- ing the Revolution it was frequented by Washington, LaFayette, Sullivan, Hancock, the Adamses, and other Generals and Statesmen of that period. Its location, in one of the pleasantest and most interesting towns in the country for so long a period, has given the Sun almost a world-wide reputa- tion. Its thick walls and shaded halls render it a. pleasant home, Winter or Summer. Its well constructed case-mates speak to us of the days when every house was a fort. Although, to a considerable extent modernized, there is enough left to interest the antiquarian. The office, parlors and sleeping rooms of the Sun are large and airy. The Dining Room is one of the finest in the State, and electric bells are in each room, while the furniture is mostly new and unexceptional. The accommodations are entirely first-class, although the terms are very low— $2 per day and $8 to $10 per week. R. W. HAINES, Prop. L. F.
