►► history of ’92. a First we sported as green Freshmen Till Soph wisdom we acquired, Next as Juniors we went mashing, Now as Seniors we’ll be “fired.” ’ 92 ! YES, at last the greatest of all years has come, and although the achievements of ’92 need no recording since their memory will live forever, it might not be a bad idea to aid the Muse by setting them down in black and white. On Sept. 6tli, ’88, when first mustered we numbered twenty-two, and when the haughty Senior or the naught} ' Soph, first condescended to gaze on us, no doubt we looked as if we thought we hardly had a right to exist. Sixteen of us had passed through the mysteries of “ prepdom,” and so our courage soon returned and we began to assert ourselves by effecting a class organization on Sept. 12th, and adopting Black and Orange for our colors, together with that inspiring motto, “ Labor omnia vinciT.” We also decided to adopt the following to be 19

used on occasions of distress and also when feeling too full for utter- ance in any other way: Rah! Ray! Ruh ! Rah! Ray! Ruh ! Muhlen- berg! Ninety-two ! In time we grew bold, and when the political cam- paign of ’88 was fully opened we decided to astonish the natives by giving a Belva Lockwood parade. The affair no doubt zvould have been a success, but on account of foreign pressure of a kind not to be disregarded we decided not to make any bustle , not even to skirt the town, but to stay at home as a matter of corseif). ’92 is nothing, if not original, and as all the other classes had gone on sleigh rides some- time during the Winter, our class did not go. There was a reason for this, however, in the fact that there was no snow during the season, and as for a sleigh ride without snow — it’s no go. After all these ex- ertions we began to ‘‘bone” for our exams, and by proper x:se of all the “ aids” offered to a college student we all “ got there” and then went home to enjoy our vacation. The first taste had been enough for some, an d at our next assembly we found that Wm. M. Blackman and James K. Bowen were among the missing. During this term it was our sad duty to follow to its last resting place the body of Titus S. Troxell. He was well beloved by every one, and in him we lost one of our most esteemed members. Right at this point in our history ’92 fairly outdid herself. The custom had been to hold Livy Crema- tion in the open air, but instead of this we decided to give a perform- ance in Music Hall. We went to work with a will, and on June 25th, ’89, gave to a crowded house a performance which, it has been ac- knowledged, has not been equalled before or since, but which has been imitated by all the subsequent classes, who thus flatter us more than they possibly could by words. Thus has ’92 inaugurated one of the most delightful features of Commencement week. At the end of Freshman year our lines were further thinned by the loss of Milton K. Neiffer, Henry S. Neff, Edward H. Soleliac, and H. Douglass Spaeth. The opening of Sophomore year brought us one new man 20
