THE GARNET. 2 7 Exigui numero, sed bello vivida virtus.— Virgil. THE freshman class has scarcely completed its first collegiate term, W and although there are many events in prospect that promise to form the groundwork of an interesting experience, yet the men of Eighty-eight already begin to turn back and live again in imagination their short but fertile career. Previous to that dark and dismal night of September fifteenth the members of the class knew only in story what it was to be a freshman ; but the distant echo of the tin horn aroused them to a sense of their true situation—then did they realize that the hour of their trial had come. However, recognizing the inviolability of college custom, they submitted to the ordeal with manly grace. And yet the “ ex-fresh,” not content with setting up, attempted to salt; but the vision of a professor’s head, unexpectedly manifested through the chapel door, dispersed them like fallen leaves before an autumn gale. The class having fairly started, and feeling that organization is most essential to success, now turned its attention to the election of class officers. From this arose a contest, and with grim determination was it urged by both parties—yet when the struggle was over, Eighty-eight emerged united and harmonious, ready to proceed with the term’s work both individually and as a class. Week after week, enlivened by those incidents that lend a lustre to the student’s life, has rapidly passed away and is but the cherished memories of our first days at Old Union. But while engaged in relating the brief experience of our class, we must not enliiely lose sight of the term’s real work, which from appearances has proved both beneficial and enjoyable. From appear¬ ances, because one would think to feel the shaking of North College and to hear the applause proceeding therefrom, that the Freshmen, in the study of the French language, find the acme of their earthly hap¬ piness. Such is the history of our brief connection with Union, and although to those who are not members of our class it may seem barren and devoid of interest, yet it is a story that lies dear to the heart of every man who began his college life with the class of Eighty-eight.
