History of NinetY v3ix. ‘•Too much magnifying of man or matter, said Lord Bacon, “doth irritate contradiction and procure envy and scorn. Thoroughly recognizing and appreciating this important truth, my purpose in writing a brief history of Ninety-Six is not to extol my class beyond the limits of reason, for that would encourage scorn; but rather to state facts upon which my readers may base their own conclusions. These facts, so numberless and illustrious, may produce envy on the part of other classes, but being facts, they cannot possible be creative of contradiction. Ninety-six began its eventful struggle for knowledge in the fall of '92, the faithful recruits numbering thirty-five. Our Freshman campaign was not indeed very cvcntfui. However, we accomplished all that could have been expected of Freshmen—in the academic department, making a rise; in athetics becoming very proficient players of leap-frog, marbles, catch mc if-you-can, etc.; in politics receiving very many honors holding all the offices in our class. Next year dignified “Sophs, casting aside the mantle of “Freshness,” the pride of their mothers, the pets of the “lassies,”--in their minds, they entered upon the hardest and most trying campaign of the war. There were many well-fortified strongholds to be taken, the most important of which was Calculus and its several outworks. Hard and bravely did we fight. The difficulties encountered led some to desert; others fell bravely fighting; and still others being only wounded, entered the “University Hospital” during the summer, where, with proper stimulants and treatment, they finally recovered to enlist in our mighty army the following fall. This year by hard work and untiring zeal, we captured the baseball pennant; took a very prominent part in athletics, sporting, society, studying and -loafing, (and actually received all the Sophomore speakers and corporals' places.) The following year the battlements of science loomed up before us, and we advanced to the siege. Slowly but surely the outposts were captured, and we have at least succeeded in planting our flag upon 30
