REMBRANDT R. PEALE. W. T. WILSON. SALUTATORY. THE time has at last arrived for ' 83 to publish the Epitome, and, inasmuch as she has consigned to us the editorship, it is with feelings of much anxiety that we offer the result of our labors. We did not expect to produce a work of much literary merit, this being our first attempt at such a production ; but we hope we have succeeded in offering to our friends a publication which, in its journey to its different destinations, will tend to leave a good impression of our University, of its professors and its students. We take much pleasure, and, we may add, great pride, in being able to give to our Alma Mater our best and most heartfelt wishes for her success in years to come, and have no doubt but that she will stand among the best and most thorough colleges in the land. We trust she may never be able to look back on ' 83 but with feelings of pleasure and pride ; for it is with such sensations that we think and speak of her now, while enjoying her protection. To ' 83 and the other classes belong the pleasure and duty of plac- ing the University among the first institutions of learning in this country. It is only by industry and close application to study that this can be accomplished. Upon our faithfulness depends the reputation of its graduates. Who, when he sees, in his mind ' s eye, Lehigh University towering above all others, by reason of the competency of its sons in their several professions, will not be eager to do his part, that he may share in the glory and honor of so ennobling an undertaking? Our countrymen go to Europe for a more thorough course in their specialties ; but why need this be ? why cannot this country afford such advantage to the student ? Such will be the case when the American universities are so careful and exacting that their diplomas mean some- thing more than four years ' attendance at the college ; and such, we flatter ourselves, does Lehigh ' s at the present day. If our Epitome could be the means of opening the eyes of the people to a realization of the genuine worth of our college, then would the thought, work and time we have given to it be fully requited. The University has been particularly fortunate in her new presi- dent. He came among us in April last, bringing with him the experi- ence of many years ' successful practice at the bar, great ability, remark- able energy, and the determination to make the University all her founder desired. Dr. Lamberton is no theorist; practical, and of strong will, his hand is noticeable in everything. Kind and affable, he has the love and respect of the Faculty and students. The University has a glorious future before her. With unlimited wealth, an able Faculty, and, what is more important, a deep-rooted feeling among her students that it belongs to them to shape her destiny, she must succeed. BOARD OF TRUSTEES.

WE have arrived at the time when all the hackneyed expressions of our predecessors flash upon us with their full meaning, for the time has come for us to make the same statements ourselves. At last it begins dimly to dawn on us that we have seen our last cane-rush, our last election-fire, and our last Freshman Class (though some may remark that the last mentioned is not an overwhelming mis- fortune). To be sure, we can ignore the class that obtrudes the fact upon us ; but, believe me, there is abominably little consolation in that. How are the mighty fallen ! for, notwithstanding the vision of our Class prophet and our individual hopes in former years, our enemy the Faculty has not, alas ! permitted us to enter the Senior year with the largest class on record. How sadly do we recall the pang felt each year with increased poignancy, when we heard how they fell ! When on our return we heard of Billy ' s desertion to Lafayette, of Zim ' s voluntary surrender and. Dick ' s defection ; and now we feel indeed sadly broken up that our old stand-by John T. and Rick too have left us. Entering with a class of twenty-six members, an unusually small number for even Lehigh, the gradual diminution has left us with but one-third of them. It is perhaps usually the case that small classes make up for their paucity by their increased class spirit. It certainly has been so with ' 81. Did we not persistently refuse to be dictated toby ' 80? — though they were larger in number and stature than we. Did we not retain our canes, and with consistency refuse to permit ' 82 to do so ? Are these not examples of heroism for Freshmen to admire and copy ? And then our Epitome — But I shall stop before my list becomes tedious. In short, ' 81 has never been found wanting in any matter of Class or University interest. I shall not fatigue you with a detailed account of our deeds, warlike and otherwise, from the time of our arrival in Bethlehem. With regard to the warlike deeds, however, it is not denied that our class has seen fit to run away, such a course being decidedly justifiable. Perhaps, too, con- sideration for future days, as enjoined by the ancient couplet, He that fights, etc., had something to do with persuading us. We must have awed our opponents on that occasion by our dignified and masterly retreat, for nothing of the kind has occurred since. Since the last publication of the Epitome, we have lost five men from our class, of whom three have left the university. Dick is in Philadelphia, studying medicine. He always had a talent for original research [vide laboratory annals), and doubtless will make some stupendous discovery in anatomy. Zim still lights up Bethlehem and the adjacent villages with the fitful gleams of his fleeting smile. But Shorty, from latest accounts, was mashing (ah, keep it dark !) in his native village in the Ohioan wilds he loved so well, and building bridges, which, I take it, is a decided improvement upon the effete style of building castles. We of ' 81 are nothing, if not progressive ! Washington ' s Birthday was celebrated, under the auspices of our class, with more than usual eclat ; the orator, Mr. Wetherill, and Mr. Haldeman, the reader of the Farewell Address, both acquitting them- selves admirably. It was our sad misfortune to learn, by experience, how hard a mat- ter it is to please all ; for notwithstanding our efforts to get up a Mock Programme in good form, we regret that those probably the most con- cerned did not appreciate them, but, on the contrary, the publication was damned, with faint (very faint) praise by the graduating class to a man. Such is a brief summary of our Junior year ' s history. We leave the University, sure that no class can surpass ours in devotion to Lehigh and her interests. While we bid good-by to Lehigh, we take with us the memory of the pleasant time spent here. That still lives ! and many future hours are destined to be made bright with a light reflected from the happy past. We shall often recall it with A feeling of sadness and lunging, That is not akin to pain, And resembles sorrow only As the mist resembles the rain. Historian. The Seniors have been conducting the sociables in a very good manner, having had otie general one, the rest have been sociables of two and fours. Will they give them up, and turn them over to lower classes ? Abbott — Charlie, a charming satellite, especially his nose, which shines like a meteor, and blooms like a sunflower (all over). Without his nose there is not much of him. Butler — William should be called the widow ; feeds with a spoon, and wears dresses like his illustrious relation Down East. Wonderful head, remarkable intellect, reminds one of Moody and Sankey ' s song, Never such was seen before. Charming manner with the ladies, but is a teaser. Is one of those shining lights Prex speaks of as not doing justice to himself. Cranz — Crazy crowing crusher, captured class chair, caught chew- ing cubeb-capsules. Can ' t carry class cups. Creates cornet concerts. Can play upon anything from a jew ' s-harp to his feelings. Crilly — Pat delivers lectures on the equality of mankind, but thinks himself more than equal to the rest. This coincides with the demon- stration of which Professor Doolittle said : The principal thing about your demonstration is its entire lack of logic. Eynon, of German descent ; the scent still clings, no matter how much the shaking. Likes girls and Allentown and peanuts, but hates study. 13 Haider-man ? A blood from Bloodsville, Blood County, Bloodavia. Is cheeky, as seen from his name, likes large feet and enjoys petting ; thinks he is a masher, and does the grand act, smokes, drinks, swears, and keeps late hours ; in fact, is very bad, as more than once his friends have been obliged to haul-der-man home in a cart. On account of the numerous successful competitors in our class he has parted with his moustaches, and the big ' part is in the part-ition of a watch of one of the Sophs — Stockton — Stock-ton — don ' t see where it comes from, as the imagina- tion will have to be stretched to take any stock in that kind of Ton — is innocent, goody-goody boy ; in fact, an infant in arms. Wittmer — William, small but Dutch, drinks beer, and enjoys getting into a fight by getting somebody to do the fighting for him ; is close- fisted, as he has often been heard to say, in purchasing goods, that he would give a Whit more for it. Is partial to Freshies — ' 82. EX SCIENTIA AD GLORIAM. Class Colors : — Cardinal and Light Blue. OFFICERS. C. C. HOPKINS, J. S. DORAN, T. J. DONAHOE, E. M. HENRY, J. D. RUFF, . J. F.

' l MGHTY-TWO, being a small class, re quires a short history, and, not j wishing to relinquish a good thing, we will begin with the remark that another year has rolled around, and as Juniors now, etc., or, one more irrevocable step on the journey of, etc., or, time passes, and we are nearing the goal to which, etc., — in short, it is a year later than it was this time last year. A year later, and our noble class shows sadly the ravages of time. Of the twenty-two souls that embarked with us on this perilous voyage, all save ten are lost or missing; indeed, more than that, for, of these ten, several have been picked up from the wrecks of other classes. In January of last year, while we were yet Sophomores, we con- tested at Uhl ' s Brewery for the guardianship of the Class Mug, which we had had made previously at the pottery in Allentown. The result of this contest we agreed to keep secret, and notwithstanding the numerous detectives who have been set to work up the case, the whole matter is still buried in the deepest mystery ; indeed, so completely was the mug concealed on that memorable night, that we have since been accused of not knowing ourselves where it is, or what has become of it. This is, of course, the basest slander; the mug is safe and sound, and will be given to that member of the class who is the first to become a father. In April we published our Epitome, and it was, of course, a simply wonderful production, and far in advance of any previous attempt ; Best of all, it was a complete financial success, the first, we believe, which has been scored ; and future classes may now be spared the humiliation of asking some trustful Trustee to go security for their Epitome. 18 In May the Messrs. Reno left us, and we thus lost two good men at one swoop. Conrad afterwards went to Cambridge, where he is now studying law ; and in September, Jesse returned to Lehigh, but not to ' 82, preferring instead to take a special course; and though he is a special, we all hope to see him graduate with us. At the Commence- ment in June, the Wilbur Scholarship was awarded to Mr. Hopkins, with many complimentary remarks to Mr. Lawall, who pushed him closely, thereby raising the average. We claim that ' 82 took the scholar- ship with a higher mark than any previous class; and we make this claim, not with the hope that Hopkins will be nattered into giving us a supper, but because every other class has made the same boast, and we suppose it is the proper thing to do. At the end of the term, finding that we all thought a Class Supper with our reduced numbers would be a bore, and being anxious to get away as soon as possible, we resolved to go home without it. Thus closed the term. Those of the Class whose ponies had not kicked them to death at the June examinations, returning in September, found a host of strange- looking, round-eyed Freshmen perambulating the Park, inquiring for Mr. Rice and the other appliances usually made use of in such cases in getting off conditions. We patted them on the back, and gave them the usual good advice ; and at the cane-rush which shortly took place between them and the Sophomores, after delivering the cane into their hands, we yelled: Go in, Freshy! as per custom ; enforcing by the majesty of our presence fair play. Our lungs being weak, the Fresh- men lost their cane. We found the roster for this term very badly arranged, inasmuch as, in the morning, we generally had two spare hours separated by an hour of recitation, and were thus compelled to waste the greater part of these two hours ; while every afternoon we had to teach ourselves sur- veying for three hours. This arrangement crowded us so much that we hardly found time for the writing which the numerous and lengthy problems in mechanics and chemistry involved. When we came to plane table surveying, the class was instructed to provide itself with one piece of cloth-backed drawing- paper, but no one feeling it incumbent upon him to pay the bills of the class, the paper was not provided, and after a week of coming to the drawing-room, finding no paper there, receiving zero and going home again, our short holiday was cut short, and we resumed the study of surveying. A few weeks after this, when it had grown comfortably cool, we were told that each man would bring his own cloth-backed paper, and make up the plane table work during extra hours; some of us managed to find time for this, some did not. About this time one of our number was brought before the Faculty for an excess of absence, and, inadvertently telling the truth, received, a few days afterwards, the following note : Dear Sir : You are hereby informed that the price of chickens is risen. The sun shines and the little globe turns around. Hurrah for Hancock ! Heaven is just. . This note we publish through the courtesy of Mr. John Smith, author of Curiosities of Literature, who purchased it from the class for insertion in the above work, in the chapter headed Curious Epitaphs and Won- derful Death-Warrants. A translation of the note shows that it was intended to convey the idea that the individual to whom it was addressed should leave the University ! This brings us to the end of our fall term and of our History, and reminding the reader that he can never be con- sidered au fail unless thoroughly posted as to the exploits of the great and glorious class of ' 82.

A SECOND time the Class of ' 83 is called upon to prepare a history of its wondrous deeds and experiences. Wondrous I call them, and so they are ; for what other historian has had so many victories, so few defeats, so many pleasures, so few sorrows to chronicle, as now await us ? We are not compelled, as our predecessors have been, to lament the loss of most of our men, but, on the contrary, are able to point to ten new names that have been added to the number on our entrance list. Thirty-two we numbered on that September afternoon when we attended our first Chapel exercises, and wondered how many of the others that were there were Sophs, and what they would try to do ; but now we muster — only at Class-meetings, however — forty-two mem- bers in that same Old Chapel, the largest Sophomore Class that ever graced the records of our honored Alma Mater. But to our history ! Our achievements during the first term of our Freshman year have already been described ; it now remains for us to complete the history so admirably begun by our former historian. At the close of our Christmas vacation, we all returned to our several duties, — a thing almost unheard of before ; the Christmas examinations usually playing sad havoc in the Freshman ranks. The usual college routine followed our return, diversified occasion- ally by a trip to Allentown or a sleigh-ride to Easton. The first important event that occurred was our Class Supper, held at the Sun Hotel on the 9th of April, 1880. Space forbids us to do it justice. The tables groaned with fruits of all kinds, and the whole hotel echoed to the hearty bursts of laughter that rang from the throats around that festive board. Speeches were made, toasts responded to, songs were sung, and — for an historian must tell both sides of a story — a couple of puns of such a style were gotten off, that we felt compelled to throw the perpetrators out of the window; which was done without delay. In this way time sped; and although we did not break up until four o ' clock, every man, mirabile dictti ! was able to take care of himself. At the spring meeting of the Athletic Association, we added more glory to our already bright record ; carrying off more first prizes than the other three classes together. From this time to the end of the term we were kept pretty busy ; the usual cramming being necessary in addition to our regular duties. We survived it, however, as well as the examinations that followed, and with considerable pleasure looked forward to the long rest and more honorable position that awaited us on our return. The first of September saw us again collecting in the same Old Chapel, but with considerable more confidence this time; we had attained the rank of Sophomores, and other fresh men occupied our former humble position. As a matter of course, we felt it incumbent upon us to shoulder the burdens custom has laid upon Sophomores ; that is — To teach the youngsters how to act, To pour some fresh ideas o ' er their minds, etc. In our case, however, those burdens were extremely easy. The Freshies proved very docile, and soon obeyed us implicitly. They quietly left the room when we informed them that we wished to hold a meeting there. They — But it is useless to give details ; suffice it to say that, as a consequence of their modest behavior, we concluded there was no necessity for hazing. One of them, however, not content with our kind treatment, became somewhat obstreperous when out of hearing, and it was deemed best to pay him a visit; but when the committee arrived at his rooms, he received them so kindly, and treated them so hospitably, that before they were ready to announce their purpose they were in such good humor with him — and everything else, for that mat- ter — that they unanimously agreed to give him another trial. He took the hint, mended his ways, and has, we trust, become a wiser, if not better, man. l 5 For the annual cane-rush, the Juniors, by dint of perseverance, worthy of a better cause, managed to infuse a little enthusiasm into the Freshmen ; but it was labor lost, for, with an equal number, we soon deprived them of the stick. and the right to carry it. Since that time there has never but one Freshman ventured out with a cane, and that was the day ' 83 went to the mines. At the fall sports, ' 83 again carried off more than half the prizes, and turned out two tug-of-war teams that took the palm of victory. Our bonfire on the 2d of September, although a grand affair for some of the boys, proved rather a sad one for others. The immense fire, together with the fish-horns and tin pans that were used, soon brought out the whole police force — two men and a dog, which, after some work and considerable swearing, managed to take a few of the culprits before the justice. Here they were requested to pay a couple of dollars apiece for their frolic ; and one of them, who protested, was per- mitted to brood over his troubles in the little stone mansion by the river. The trip to the zinc-mines was made with considerable more dis- play than usual. Two four-horse coaches were procured, and the start was made with all the clash and clatter that is supposed to have accom- panied the departure of the coach of our daddies. The mine was reached and duly inspected ; but while returning along one of the dark passages a cry was heard, and one of the fellows fell heels over head into one of the deep holes that had been left flooded. They say he was pretty full before, but, be that as it may, he was certainly in that condition when they dragged him out. However, having been taken home, and thoroughly warmed inwardly as well as outwardly, he finally recovered, and at present, we are happy to state, is able to be around. Here our present chronicle must end ; but let us hope that during the rest of our college life, ' 83 may be noted for that same solidity, kindly feeling, and genial fellowship that has characterized it in the past, and as the poet says : Deeper, deeper, let us toil In the mines of knowledge ; Nature ' s wealth and learning ' s spoil Win from school and college ; Delve we there for richer gems Than the stars of diadems. Historian. 26 Freshy. F H 1 FRESHY, what a suggestive word ! What a world of meaning it conveys to the average student ! What a pleasant sensa- tion to a young man (?) probably the first time he has ever been freed from his mother ' s apron-strings, in a strange place to have numerous unknown parties call after him, Hey, Freshy ! Hello, Freshy! How are you, Freshy? Now, Freshy ! Come, Freshy ; Freshy, Freshy, Freshy, at every step and every turn ; and yet who will say that the name is misapplied ? who will say a Freshman is not well described when dubbed with the name ? Why, even the recipient recognizes the application, and turns in the direction of the sound, ever ready to answer questions of whatever kind, and unburden his simple soul to the first Soph who takes the trouble to appear inter- ested, asks advice from the same source, being too fresh even to know that a Soph ' s advice to a Freshy is simply worthless. And finally Of all the fresh classes that ever were seen, This is the freshest one, I ween. PRAESTEMUS. Class Colors : — Purple and Old Gold. OFFICERS. R. D. STEWART, S. D. MORFORD, W. R.

History E ighty -F° u R SOME three months ago the Class of ' 84 first approached the halls of Lehigh, and, having viewed the stately exterior and beautiful surroundings, proceeded to unravel the mystery and submit to the misery of an examination. Now that we are thoroughly acquainted with each other, and can make the old building ring with our merriment, it is hard to realize that we are the same individuals who surveyed each other so timidly on that September morning. It is pleasant, too, to reflect that all doubts as to the character and composi- tion of the class — if doubts there were — have long since been happily dispelled. The Class of ' 84 entered with thirty-six members, representing vari- ous States of our Union and the sister country of Mexico. The majority, however, are from the good old Keystone State, which thus comes prominently forward in appreciation of an institution founded by one of her noblest sons. Although many of our members entered with conditions, it is satisfactory to find, now that examinations are mostly over, that we are numerically as strong as ever ; — indeed, we have been to some extent reinforced. Our reception by the Faculty, Seniors, Juniors and Sophomores has been most cordial, and we avail ourselves of this opportunity to return thanks to all. Our first meeting was held on the 7th of September. Officers were elected, and we proceeded to discuss the impending tussle with the Sophs, which involved our right to carry canes during the term. Although our chances were slim, being considerably outnumbered, we resolved to sell the victory at a high price. The following Saturday was the day selected on which to decide the momentous question. The weather was propitious. Both classes attended chapel in force, their appearance indicating a lively time ahead. Directly after the morning exercises we repaired to the terrace in front of Packer Hall, divested of coats, hats, and such other garments as could well be spared. The bone of contention, in the form of stout hickory stick, was produced by a Junior, and now for the rush ! We closed full fast on every side, No slackness there was found ; And many a gallant gentleman Lay gasping on the ground. Down the face of the terrace and over the lawn went the struggling mass, finally pulling up about a hundred yards from the starting-point. After keeping up the unequal struggle some fifteen minutes we were obliged to succumb, ' 83 carrying off the cane, and saluting the Freshmen with three rousing cheers. Although both sides received pretty rough handling, good feeling prevailed, ' and all were satisfied with the result. On the next Saturday ' 83, confident of winning fresh laurels, ven- tured a game of base ball with us. The ground was in excellent condi- tion. Nine innings were played ; and notwithstanding a formidable (?) force of Sophomoric policemen evidently meant to intimidate our men, the result was a brilliant victory for ' 84. Everything passed off smoothly, thanks to our excellent umpire, Mr. Haldeman.who promptly and satis- factorily settled all disputes. At the fall meeting of the Athletic Association but few of our men entered the lists, having had very little time for practice. We hope, how- ever, in the future, to follow the example of our gallant president, and carry off our share of the honors. In the annual bonfire and other frolics ' 84 has taken an active part, showing that whilst studious and industrious we have not forgotten the maxim, All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. And now, as we go hand in hand up the rugged path that lies before us, let us hope that none may fall by the way, but, gathering strength as we proceed, may we reach the summit with unbroken ranks, and through all and under all circumstances let our watchword be Praestemus. Historian. RETROSPECT OF A Commencement, JUNE, 1880. S usual, Commencement passed off without the least jar to mar the pleasure of the occasion. From the first the students and friends of the Graduating Class evinced the liveliest interest in the proceedings ; and even on Thesis Day, on which the exercises are usually considered uninteresting, the hall was well filled with an appreciative audience, not a few among which belonged to the fair sex. Commencement Day dawned bright and clear, and, long before the hour for beginning the exercises, the hall was filled with the elite of Bethlehem and vicinity. Hasslcr ' s Orchestra furnished plenty of the choicest music, which, added to the efforts of the Graduating Class, lent an eclat to the occasion seldom witnessed on similar occasions. Last, but not least, of the exercises was the Seniors ' Reception in the evening, at which Hassler again wielded the baton. The hall was not overcrowded, and, on account of the reception which the president was to give to the graduates, dancing was discontinued at a comparatively early hour, and every one went home tired, but satisfied, glad it was all over, yet sorry there was no more to come.

Not fairer were the holy hills Around about Jerusalem, When Israel ' s psalmist sang of them, Than are these green declivities, Slow sloping down, by smooth degrees, Through gardens and through groves of trees, From floating clouds to flowing river : Nor purer was the air that fanned The pulses of that favored land. The silent city at our feet, Where double rows of maples meet In arches over many street, So long has slept a dreamless sleep, It needs a Fairy Prince to take The magic kiss its spell to break : To rouse it from its drowsyhood ; With newer life its veins to fill ; Its languid nerves with action thrill. 37 Thai magic kiss may be the light Electric, from this classic height, Dispersive of the shades of night. Could he for whom this Hall is named— In honor of his sterling worth — Revisit once again the earth, With what glad eyes would he behold The prophecy by him foretold, In its fulfillment now unfold ! The veil that hides from us the years Which are to be, perhaps for him Is lifted by the seraphim, And he, with clearer vision, sees The shaping of far-off events Created by our influence ; And long processions come and go, Which at this fountain drink, and bless Its memory through Life ' s wilderness. Founder ' s Day. OCTOBER 14 witnessed the second commemoration of Founder ' s Day. Everything combined to favor the event. The weather was magnificent; the park, with its many recent improve- ments, presented the most varied and pleasing appearance ; while the splendid carriages which constantly drove up the avenue, together with crowds of people, gave prospect of a large and select audi- ence for this memorable occasion. The Faculty and students assembled at the Library, where they awaited the President arid the distinguished invited guests who were to form part of the procession. The students, arranged according to senior- ity of class, were drawn up in double file. At 10:30, the guests having assembled, the procession took up its march, the students in the van. Upon reaching the tower entrance, the students formed in two fac ing lines, between which our guests, headed by President Lamberton and Senator Bayard, marched. Next in order came the students, the Freshmen finishing up the column, the look of fear and anxiety which they had habitually worn for the preceding six weeks, being somewhat softened by the fact that they were parading as representatives of Lehigh. The drawing-room in which the exercises were held was already filled, with the exception of a small space left for the students. Upon a large platform were seated the Faculty, Trustees and representatives of other colleges, together with eminent politicians from Pennsylvania and other States. In the centre was President Lamberton ; and on his right, Senator Bayard. The exercises were opened with prayer by Rev. DeWolfe Howe, D.D., LL.D., after which President Lamberton introduced Senator Thomas K. Bayard as orator of the day. As Mr. Bayard arose, a well- known Senior sprang to his feet and proposed three cheers for Senator 311 Bayard, and Lehigh gave her well-known tiger with a unanimity and power that was never equaled before. And we gladly pause to say, that, although Lehigh always gives overwhelming Republican majorities, yet there was not one student present who did not embody in his cheer all that deep respect and admiration which we cannot help paying to the brilliant orator and consummate statesman. The oration we do not presume to criticise, but only say that it was embellished with beautiful tributes of respect and gratitude to our much beloved and gratefully remembered patron, Asa Packer. Mr. Bayard spoke of the prosperous condition and hopeful future of Lehigh, and of the great responsibility resting upon her students and alumni for the maintenance of her fair fame and scholarly distinction. In conclusion he compared Asa Packer with Thomas Moore, the . famous philanthropist of the Franco-Prussian War, who was the first to bring relief to starving Paris after her surrender ; and of the rever- ential respect which even the desperate communists showed him by removing their hats as they passed the building from which he issued food to the famished poor during that period of terror. And can we not truly say that when, in coming years, we visit the scenes of our college life, and pass those beautiful edifices reared by our illustrious patron, we will reverently remember him, who, with open hand, gave mental food to us, and by his bounty has made provision for others in all time to come ? The enjoyment of the occasion was increased with music by Profes- sor Hassler ' s well-known orchestra from Philadelphia. At the close of the exercises the invited guests repaired to the basement of the Library, where a sumptuous repast was served. At 2 P, M. the Annual Fall Meeting of the Athletic Association took place at their grounds in South Bethlehem. The friends of the Univer- sity, especially of its students, were largely represented. The ladies, having by this time learned what an inspiration the athletes derived from their presence, were represented in large numbers. And we were more pleased than surprised to see a few of their number making wagers on their favorite competitors, thus showing that the enthusiasm with which noble ladies in the days of chivalry viewed their gallants in the tourney, remains unchanged in their fair descendants. At 7:30 there was a fine display of fireworks, after which came the annual Athletic Hup. 40 Secret S OCIET1ES N THE ORDER OF THEIR ESTABLISHMENT.

It is appreciated, and that in the highest degree. To think that now the young man of weak constitution may (so to speak) brace himself up by exercising his emaciated frame in this build- ing, so grand in its proportions, and so artistic in exterior, is a source of the keenest satisfaction to us all. Of what benefit can a thorough collegiate education be to a man, if it be purchased at the expense of health, thereby not only depriving him of the power of successfully applying his hard-earned knowledge, but also of the power to enjoy that professional life for which his college course is but a preparation. To come to the well-known and lamentable truth, our gym is a chimera. Its creation took place years ago in the mind of our ex-presi- dent, and has, so far as we know, remained there ever since. That the students of the University are interested, ay, impatient, on this subject, is but too well known. The gymnasium has always been considered one of the most important features of an institution of this kind. In all military academies, and in many universities, daily exercise in the gymnasium is compulsory, it being regarded of the highest importance as a means of securing rugged physical health and mental vigor. The absence of a gymnasium at Lehigh is a source of wonder at other colleges and of dissatisfaction at home. We cannot think there is any serious obstacle in the way of this much desired object ; and we earnestly call the attention of the Trustees, Faculty and patrons of Lehigh to this matter. Any action, except inaction, will be hailed with satisfaction by the students. 53 HOW The Clapper Disappeared, THIS series of cuts represents the manner in which the clapper of the University bell disappeared. No. i represents four bold and dashing youths, who, regardless of consequences, are entering the drawing-room through a back win- dow, on a stormy night in the month of April. No. 2 illustrates the manner in which these bad and ' unprincipled creatures are forcing an entrance into the tower.. No. 3 shows the way in which the clapper was removed, — one of the four is on the watch, so as to prevent surprise ; the rest are deeply engaged in their unlawful undertaking. No. 4 is the finis. The midnight marauders have been crowned with success, and, as they leave the University in the distance, are expressing congratulations and making light of their fears; but express regrets that they were unable to make way with the bell and all, — this being impossible, as that article weighed some five hundred pounds or more. «n -t SPRING MEETING OF THE Lehigh University A™ 1 ™ Association, ON THE GROUNDS OF THE ASSOCIATION, SOUTH BETHLEHEM, PA., ON SATURDAY.

Mr. Meakek (inquiringly). — Mr. R— g— s, is that a failing case? Mr. Rice. — Mr. Duck, you have very little on the board. Mr. Duck. — Oh no ! Mr. Rice, I have a good deal. Mr. Rice. — Well, perhaps you have, for you. Mr. Meakfr (marking on the board to represent an example). Mr. Br — s— s. — But, sir, it says men and women ! Mr. Meaker, — Mr. Br — s— s, you have not enough imagination to study mathematics. Lesson in Optics. Prof, (having a class of Freshmen, but talking to Sophomore).— • Mr. J s, if I should put on green glasses and view this class, would I not be deceived ? Soph. — Well, no ; don ' t think you would. (Professor of Latin to H., who is reading about the Court of the Romans.) Prof. — ■■ Mr. H., can you tell me when court opened among the Romans? H. — Hem, er ; why, I think, at the ninth hour. 62 Prof. — Well, when was the first hour then ? At what time did the lawful day begin ? H. — Relapses into a brown study for about five minutes, when a happy thought strikes him, and he shouts out, with the utmost con- fidence, In the morning, sir ! (Professor groans, and passes on.) Prof. L. (in despair, to Mr. M., who has failed to give the parts of any of the verbs in the lesson). — Mr. M., can you give the parts of ' Amo ' ? M. (after gazing at the ceiling a few minutes). — I could if I could start them, but I can ' t remember how they begin. Prof, of Latin. — That infinitive is in what construction, Mr. C— k ? C k (who, as usual, has been quietly sleeping through the whole recitation, and has heard only the last part of the question). — Yes, sir ! it is a noun in the dative, the dative of to ox for which. Prof. — Yes, that is the kind of a dative for which you are apt to sret a zero. 63 The jbrary. MUCH dissatisfaction is felt by the students with the present sys- tem of issuing books from the Library. Whether it was the idea of the founder that the present system of checks should base its excellence on its origi- nality or on its combined adaptation to both students and public, we do not profess to know. We are, however, after three years of thorough trial, of one opinion, — that it does not work well. The libraries of other American colleges are conducted upon the rental system ; the time for which a student can keep the same book being restricted to reasonable limits. And it is invariably the case that, before a book becomes damaged from use, the fees, received from its readers are more than sufficient to replace it. This, we think, would be vastly preferable to our own system, as the expense of rental would be three times balanced by the satisfaction of reading in the privacy of one ' s own room, and by the opportunity of fill- ing up odd moments with consecutive reading without the trouble of making a journey to the Library, and going through the customary red tape performance of securing your book or paper, or, worse yet, finding the object of your search in the hands of another. The Library, although an excellent place to read the news or review lessons between recitations, is not well suited for pursuing any scientific work. The constant commotion caused by the arrival and departure of students to and from recitations cannot fail to interfere with successful study and consecutive thought. As the Library is patronized but little by the public, this constant inconvenience and interruption is sustained by the student without being counterbalanced by scarcely a single benefit to outsiders. And we are of the opinion that, should the powers that be look into this matter, they could, without threatening the advantages of the public, contribute greatly to the convenience and profit of the student. 64 Some Remarks. WHY WERE THEY SAID, AND WHERE. There is the Button now; for Heaven ' s sake, shut up ! E. R — ck — er. Never was there a tale so full of woe. C. L. R. W. T. G. F. C. I am an indifferent professor, and teem with small ideas. Mer — an. I like to read mit you, and you make pretty good exercises, but to make me recite grammar, dot makes me sick. Dutchy. For what is sence compared to dog, Or intellect to tone and style ? E. K. B. Wag your ear, and commence over again. Freshy. Mamie, why so distant? Pt — C — il — y. Oh ! dot makes me furious. Dutchy. Why did some F r eshy move to adjourn? Why do they say I am just like a real girl ? B. F. H. Many a college youth who is a mere greening, is still the apple of his father ' s eye. Fresh-men. A stands for Ames, A youth yet unshaven ; B for Bochman Who quoteth The Raven. Also, for Briggs An innocent one ; The same for Brosius, Who ' s deucedly glum. It also means Butler, From Mauch Chunk he sprang. C suggests Cardinas, The bold Mexican. C stands for Cooke, From Bethlehem he comes, And also for Crilly From Allentown ' s slums. D stands for Ualrymple He ' s gone on a cook, And also for Duck, Who never opens a book. F stands for Forstall, A New Orleans dasher, And G for Goldsmith, Pork-butcher and masher. G stands for Goodnow, Still devoted to Unaffected, And H stands for Hoffman, Whose hair is sadly neglected. H stands for Hood, In the lock-up he sat, And for Pud Hoppes, Who is — well, he ' s fat. J stands for James, Whose hobby is speckled beauties, And likewise for Janney, Who attends to his duties.

W stands for Wilson, A great debauchee ; And for Chung Lang Wong, The heathen Chinee. P stands for Pepin, A rum-looking chap ; And V for Van Tyle, Who ' s not worth a snap. The Police Force. THIS wonderful body, strict in discipline, and in all that refers to quelling riots, keeping the public peace, etc., consists of two blackjacks, two pair handcuffs, two men, four revolvers and a DOG. This force (the men — not blackjacks, revolvers, etc.) is grand and lofty in stature, magnificent in breadth, and sublime to the highest degree in thickness, (that is, through the waist), and is warranted to carry more beer than any Irish police force in the country, — New York inclusive. The one main characteristic of it is, that they always stick together (so to speak) ; that is, Griff is never seen without his dog, and Butler was never known to perambulate the town unless Griff accompanied him. Their modus operandi of performing the grand act is by springing from some doorway (where they are generally found taking naps), or from some corner, and, with a considerable quantity of Irish jargon, flourish their pistols in inoffensive faces, remark that they will Button- hole evary bludy one of yer, if yer don ' t shet up that racket! This cut represents one of these instances. The students have been on a tour of inspection to the mill ; on their return are warbling to the unconscious moon, when they are suddenly brought to a stand- still by Griff, dog and revolvers in the manner represented. 69 W HO Killed the goat ? Did this orphul act ? Stole the bell-clapper ? Asked Jim for his Class ? Found a cat in his closet ? Will never go back on ' 83 ? Gave the poor dog a bone ? Thinks B.C. stands before Caesar ? Was the Freshy that moved to adjourn ? Enjoys goats as play-fellows in his room ? Is the person that the Sems call Simpering John ? Was the innocent Freshy that wanted an Ep-i-tomb ? Does not look at it in that light ? (P — p — n J — m — s.) Had a toothache in order to have his absences excused ? Thinks the angle of accidents = the angle of reflection ? And also, who is the person that they call Light-headed Eugene ? Were the people whose kitten had its tail tied so hard as to stop the circulation ? Was the Freshman that had the cheek to put a chestnut burr under Professor R — n — er ? Had a pleasant time in the Eagle Hotel parlor, having two young ladies taking care of him ? Goes into too good society to have his name seen in a certain Allen- town autograph album? (Pat.) I THE L. U. L 1TERARY S OCIETY - N April last, the commencement of a new feature in the education of our university was founding, that is, a literary society. In appearance, an event of no importance ; yet it may lead to great results, and will undoubtedly be of immense advantage to the future student of Lehigh. A few students discussed the project of starting a society of a liter- ary character, and finally organized such a body under the title of The L. U. Literary Society. No meetings were held until the present year. At the opening of the fall term, the use of a room was obtained from the President, and regular meetings have been held on alternate Friday evenings ever since. Although the society originated with the present Sophomore Class, it was the desire that it should comprise students from all the classes. Beginning with half a score of members, the society has so increased that it is now in a most flourishing condition. It has become a permanent feature of the University, and one on which we hope to look back with pleasure and pride. Fate has not permitted us to aid in establishing the University ; yet we deem it a privilege that (through the agency of the society) we may assist in carrying out the desire of its illustrious founder. A tramp that looked hungry, ragged, and brown, Came over the way and up into town, Happening along past Robinson ' s Hotel, Just as Theodore rang the dinner-bell. The students seemed tickled to hear the din, So was the tramp, — and he followed them in. He gorged himself with a royal will, He ordered everything — except the bill. After he had eaten the table clean, He approached the old man with a satisfied mien. With a child-like smile, he said to the boss : Just charge that dinner to profit and loss. What ' s that you say ? and in Robinson did sail, In a manner well meant to make the tramp quail. What ' s that you say ? and he pulled from his pocket A big horse-pistol, and proceeded to cock it. Lord ! what ' s that thing ? said the tramp with a zeal In the proceedings he could not conceal. That, you dead-beat, is a pistol, you bet! It ' s bad for digestion, and don ' t you forget. Well, it scared me, old man, for a minute Said the tramp, as he stood looking in it. You bet your sweet life, it just made me hump, I thought the darned thing was a stomach pump. Our B oarding -H ouse - AN OPERETTA IN ONE ACT. Scene. — A commodious and comfortable dining-room. Tables capable of accommodating from thirty to forty persons, scattered in vari- ous places about the room. Angels in the form of female waitresses (mostly of Dutch and Irish descent) flying round; some dozen or so students eating breakfast. Characters. First appearance before the tin reflectors of ROBINSON THEODORE, Esq., Late of Her Majesty ' s Opera, Chief Cook and Bottle-washer, the only one of his kind (thank the L — d). Slinger of the aqueous fluid and general gossip-monger. BOSS OF THE COOK-STOVE, His Frou. Students, waiters, etc., by Company. Bell rings. Curtain rises. Chorus of voices in a distance, gradually drawing nearer O Theodore, thou mighty, Thou stern and silent king, O Theodore, we love you, But not the srrub you sling- ! We love you, oh, so awfully, When full as you can stick, Then, Theodore, you ' re bully ; In fact, sir, quite a brick. But when you sling the aqueous, Or when spying round about, Oh! by the holy Moses, We ' d like to kick you out ! At this instant the mighty one catches something, which sounds to him as disrespectful; he immediately inquires what it is, but before he can receive an answer, the door opens, and students appear carrying bouquets of various odoriferous qualities, singing : — O Theodore, thou mighty, Thou stern and silent king, This morning we bring tributes, To thee, O glorious thing ! We offer you some roses, So as to make you smile ; We bring you glorious flowers, So as not to raise your bile. At this the old mogul seems highly pleased, and with a heathenish smile (beg pardon,— a Chinese smile; one childlike and bland) warbles ; — My kind young serfs, 1 thank you, When these tributes I take, And in return I offer you Some sausage or beefsteak. But before you start to eating, It is necessary and but fair, To have some one pray for us, That is — lead us off in prayer. The solemn boy who has black hair and a scar on his right cheek, rises and prays in a grunting and dying tone of indigestion, the fol- lowing (slow music) : — Oh (H)oleo, (H)oleo-margarine, To thee, to thee, we pray, To have compassion on us, And lend us strength to-day To eat what ' s set before us, In fact, do what is level, And chaw the beef to pieces, Though ' tis tougher than the d — 1. But we ' ll love thee forever, In fact, with few mistakes, If you ' ll away with greasy potatoes, And sour buckwheat cakes. Amen. Continued in our next. Music obtained by applying to editors. 75 Q UOTATIONS. ' Curst be the verse, how well soe ' er it flow, That tends to make one honest man my foe. What ' s the mercy despots feel ?
