THE UNIVERSIT Y RECORD

THE YEAR .

THE college year bows itself gracefully behin dthe curtain with omnia privilegia titula, &c ., of theSenior Class in its coat-tail pocket . Our collegecourse is over and we are told for consolation tha tthe happiest part of our life is gone . We firs tbegan to believe this when several of our class -mates said with great feeling, after their ears ha dbeen accurately measured, that they could not goon without a re-examination . Oh, dear youn gfriends, your affection for even the college forms ,(posterior meus! not the benches) shows a tende rheart, but the bliss of a life of prolonged examina-tions is not vouchsafed to sinful mortals . Youmeet now the waves, thorns, rough roads, battle ,bumble-bees, (these are all the standard metaphors ,we believe) of life : be strong, be brave, knockabout—progress .

We are sorry to see in the Freshman Class arivalry of sections take the place of class spirit .Two separate organizations of nearly equal strengt hand mutual isolation in one class is wrong in prin-ciple and destructive in practice. While it destroy sthe esprit de corps and the class ties which makeup half the value of college life, it renders a clas spowerless in its relations to other classes and inits own undertakings . The figures 73 which atleast should be one bond of union mean nothin ghere—two organizations, two mottoes . two badges ,two vales, two suppers, must be had merely be -cause there are two sections . We hope that thiswill never happen again and that '74 will expen dall its spleen on the other classes and its undivi-ded strength on class undertakings if not upon theclassics . In a spirit of prophecy we recommend achange in the motto—per Augusta ad Augusta .

With the year 1870 come new plans. Activityhas created life, and life demands advance . Thegreat want is room to grow in. By the untiringenergy of the Provost the land on the Alms Hous eMeadows has been bought . New buildings only arenecessary to put the University on a footing withthe first colleges in the land. There are but thre eolder than she, and it is a poor testimony to Phila-delphia's interest in education that, while youngerinstitutions are rich and powerful she still struggle son with an endowment hardly large enough t o

, give her " a local habitation and a name . "If every one who has cracked a joke on the new

location would pay for it according to his mean sor if those who are toiling to alleviate the Relapsin gFever in the Alms House would help to drive awa ythe Hunger-pest from the University the ne wbuilding would rise up like the palace of Aladdin ,and Minerva would empty her helmet full o fblessings on her shrine .

While public authorities grow cross-eyed i nembellishing High Schools and scrutinizing th eman in the moon the interests of the Universitylie in private hands and the question to be solve dis, can Philadelphia support a University worth yto represent her, or while trade, manufacture sand agriculture increase, must education and th ehuman mind stand still ?

The contest for elocution prizes took place o nMay 30th, in the Hall of the University . Theplan is one well calculated to stimulate an ambitio nfor oratorical excellence . The excercises wer every creditable to the students and to Prof . Cleve -land to whom their excellence is mainly (inc .

We are glad to chronicle among the colleg ecustoms the growing disposition in each class t ohave a supper every year. The inner man ispsychologically contemptible, but then the ol dcreature ought to be let loose now and then . Heis good-natured and deserves a holiday at leas tonce a year . The Juniors spent the evening ofMay 13th at Petry's and on account of som esuperstitions about the changes . of the moon coul dnot be persuaded to leave till the next day . TheSeniors held their supper on the 27th of May,at Augustin's, while the Freshmen rioted the sam enight at Petry's . The Sophomores tested thei rdigestive powers June 13th, having hired a pictur-esque little Italian to cheer them with the balla d" Eat, pretty creature, eat ." The terrified host, asadder and a wiser man, declares that they mus thave been training a whole week past with maliceprepense to ruin him .

CLASS DAY.

'70 held its Class Day on the 27th of May .Notwithstanding the very rainy and unpleasantweather, the College Hall was filled by a lar g eaudience at the appointed hour .

After music by the orchestra, Mr W . D . Neilson ,having been introduced by the President Mr .G. F. Martin, read the Class History, in which, afte rwittily commenting on the different members ofthe Class in particular, he proceeded to give asketch of the trials and troubles which had falle nto the lot of the Class, as a whole, in the usualcourse of nature and College-life . The Poet, Mr .H. G. Ward, followed with the Poem, enlargin ggood-humouredly on some of . the incidents of thecourse, and giving his class-mates sage counsel fo rtheir coming years The oration, delivered b yMr. F . Rowland, justified the action of the Class i nelecting him Orator ; for, though short, it seeme dto please all parties, judging by the applause .

After an interlude, came the presentation of theWooden Spoon, that crowning glory of College -life in the eyes of students . The class had elected ,on the first ballot, the orator, as the man who ha dbeen for four years most popular among his fellow -students. The Spoon, a handsome piece of oile dblack walnut, a foot and a half long, was presente dby Mr. Huston, in a neat speech . in which, inobedience to the practical character of the age, h estrove to prove its great utility, and advantages o fportability, arising from its size. Mr. Rowlan dhappily responded, alluding feelingly to his futur eintentions, and the probability of the usefulness o fthe Wooden Spoon being even greater tha nanticipated .

It has become a custom latterly, in order to in-crease the fun of the Day, to present a humorou sgift to one of the class, who is good nature denough to receive it.

Mr . G. K . Hunter, who, as " Fritz the Masher, "had already figured largely in the History and th ePoem, was selected by the Class to receive thi shonor. The Class, in remembrance of numeroussallies of this gentleman's, which had certainl y" mashed " all opposition when they were made ,had determined to give him a sabre, and haddeputed Mr . T. L. Harrison to present it . Mr .Harrison, in the wittiest speech of the occasion ,presented a huge scimitar to Mr . Hunter, brandish-ing it before his face, and displaying its size wit hsuch frightful success to account for thatgentleman's astonishment . Indeed, everyone wassurprised ; for the word sabre conveyed little ide aof the broad tin scimitar, three feet long. Mr.Hunter expressed his thanks for the sabre, and th egorgeous sash that accompanied it, in a shortspeech .

The Class then concluded the exercises, b ysinging their farewell song, written by Mr. H . G .Ward ; the music composed by Mr . IN . D. Neilson .

On the whole, despite the weather, the da ypassed off most successfully, and the audience wen ttheir way rejoicing .

FAREWELL SONG OF '70 .

BY HENRY GALBRAITH WARD .

To DAY, we cut our dearest ties ,

Sweet fellowship we sever ,

But Mem'ry's vine shall intertwin eOld Seventy for ever .

0 Constancy ! enrol us i nThy small, but faithful band ,

And make the heart, the nobler part ,

Direct the head and hand.

If we are thine, the word farewel l

Is but the pledge to all ;

That though we ride life ' s changing tide ,

Love knows, nor change, nor fall .

Then, Alma Mater, fare thee well !

To-day, we put to sea :

Whate'er beset, we'll ne'er forge t

Our anchorage in thee .

CLASS SUPPER .

AFTER the interesting performances of class-day ,the company of the faithful, to the number of 19 ,assembled at the shrine of their patron—Sain tAugustine . Professors Krauth and Seidensticker ,Ruff and McElroy, honored the occasion, and con -versed for half an hour with their old charges ,rather as friends than as pupils . At last we heardthe tocsin of our hopes, and the Saint himsel fappeared but little changed by the whirligig ofcenturies, and said, probably referring to a dubiou sclatter up stairs : " cognoscendo ignorari, ignorand ocognosei ." This famous saying has long, but im-properly been attributed to the Venerable Bede i nhis essay on Hash

PHILADELPHIA, JUNE 30, 1870 .

Harold Goodwin,

Editorial Corn .Robert M. Huston,

Mr. Martin, our virtuous President, presided a tone end of the table, while Mr . Campbell, ou rvicious—we mean Vice-President, smiled benignl yat the other. The character of the supper warrant sus in saying, that if the saint had not been undul yattracted by the studies of the mind, his culinar ywould have eclipsed his metaphysical reputation .

After a vast amount of havoc had been created ,the President read some notes of regret, and the nproposed the toast, " The University," to whic hDr . Krauth replied in his usual happy manner .Prof. Seidensticker responded to the " faculty, "and Gen . Ruff answered to " The Army ." Mr.Neilson proposed, " Our Class, " to which Mr .Ward replied. Mr. Huston replied to " Ph iKappa Sigma Fraternity," and Mr . Neilson to th e" Delta Psi ." Only one thing marred the genera ljoy in the drinking of the toasts—the gentleme nat the lower end of the table had all enrolled them -selves among the Infant Tea Drinkers, and fel tbound to abstain from wine . One of themexplained this in a feeling speech, broken by a noccasional sob, and concluded by lighting his nos einstead of his cigar .

Mr. Christian then read the Class Prophecy ,written by Mr. March. It was received wit happlause, and fully sustained the author's reputa-tion. Then followed some singing by the Gle eClub, interlarded by many College anecdotes, an despecially the speech of the gentleman fro mMississippi . Dr. Krauth and Gen . Ruff, as agree -able in the supper as in the class-room, took leav eof us amid hearty cheers . Old '70 then sallie dforth into a night as black as those we left behindus, and walked straight home, an example to al lother classes, and a model to the world generally .

;;CLASS PIC-NIC .

AT the invitation of Messrs . Martin and Rowland ,'70 spent a rustic holiday among the Medians . Weare sorry that some of the giddier members of ou rprofound body were unbecomingly frivolous upo nthe ride out . An ancient dame was obliged t otake Bobby into custody, and minister to hi sspiritual deficiencies . On one occasion the world-ings were seized with such a fit of blowing thei rnoses, that one side of the ear was alive withhandkerchiefs ; and this was the more unseemly, a sit happened directly opposite the female depart-ment of Swarthmore- College . In this tryingjuncture Fritz was strapped down to his seat, whil ethe old Lady held on to Bobby .

After leaving the cars, a six-mile ride in a wagonwith Chalybeate springs brought us to an invitin ggrove, where our four horses were admitted to th eequine paradise of green grass and clover . Thetrue reason why we were not seen to emerge fro mthe grove for over an hour was because of th esandwiches there . The fatigues of the mornin gwere drowned in rivers of ginger-pop and lemonade ,and in gallons of ice cream . After a terrific battlewith lemons and banana skins, the hostile armie swent to enjoy a bath in a neighboring mill-dam .Those who refused to enter the briny deep hoarde dthe dam-boat, and enjoyed " a life on the open sea "

A puritanic cloud, " which brings fresh shower sfor the thirsty flowers," brought hogsheads of rain ,in drops a foot long, for the precious buds in thedam-boat, perhaps offended by its profane name .

After a second collation, and a few exhaustiv eexperiments in confections by Mr . Candy Back,the Class took the cars, delighted by the re-unio nthat their generous hosts had afforded them, an dcarrying away pleasant memories of DelawareCounty, and its good cheer .

THE BACCALAUREATE SERMON .

ON Sunday evening, June 5th, '70 assembled i nthe parish school-house connected with the Churc hof St. Mark . The class in cap and gown, led theprocession up the aisle followed by the chorister sand clergy singing the grand old hymn "Jesu sshall reign where'er the sun," &e .

The sermon was preached by the Rev . Dr . Hoff-man, his text being II Cor . 10—4th and 5th verses ," For the weapons, of our warfare are not carnal ,but mighty through God to the pulling down o fstrong holds ; casting clown imaginations an devery high thing that exalteth itself against th eknowledge of God and bringing into captivityevery thought to the obedience of Christ . "

This text was handled in a most masterly an dexhaustive manner . The Rev. speaker showedthat the greatest enemy of religion in this age isreason " which exalteth itself against the knowl-edge of God ." Without depreciating that pricelessgift which makes us but little lower than the angels ,he pointed out that reason was but finite, and tha tit must not, frenzied by its own greatness, run int olicense . He pointed out also the absolute necessit yof faith in those things which although we can .not conceive we must believe . A more appropriate

THE U NIVERSITY RECORD

theme could not have been chosen and we hop ethat the large congregation who listened to th esermon will not rely on the acuteness of thei rreason for their salvation, but making faith th efoundation of their religion "become as littl echildren . '' The singing reflected much credit upo nthe choristers as well as upon Mr . Pierce to whoseefforts the excellence is due .

IN the presence of a brilliant audience the classof '71 celebrated their Junior Exhibition in MusicalFund Hall, on the 8th of April last . At 4 P. M. ,the members of the Class, in caps and gowns ,moved up the middle aisle of the Hall, and tooktheir seats upon the stage . After an overture bythe orchestra, Mr . Charles Carver, the President o fthe Class, in a brief but appropriate speech, wel-comed the audience and explained the nature o fthe Exhibition. He then introduced Mr . Newton

Keim. Mr. Keim's oration on John Brown, entitle dA Hero, was masterly and eloquent .

Mr . J . J. Joyce, Jr ., who followed, spoke on" Truth ." He handled his subject in a very ableand original manner .

The next speech, entitled " The Battle of 'Tours, "was delivered by H . L. Carson, Jr . Mr. Carson ' smanner was very earnest, and his utterance distinct .Ile was enthusiastically applauded .

Mr. J . P . Townsend delivered a scholarly oratio non Historical Delusions . "

Mr . Herbert Welsh, in his " Present and Future, "gave an amusing and witty description of th eUniversity as it now is, and drew a humorous andprophetic picture of it in the dim hereafter . Theexercises were concluded by the singing of a Clas ssong, the music of which was composed by Mr .Robert H . Neilson .

The celebration of a supper at .Petry's, on the13th of May, crowned the proceedings . The farewas excellent and abundant, and the toast snumerous and happy .

UPON the eventful night or better morning o fMay 14th, the Junior Class were, in the words o four text, 40 ducks in gutter. They were there . no tfor " (livers," as the ancient conundrum hath it, bu tfor " spiritual" reasons, and it will refresh ourworld-racked minds, my hearers, to contemplatefor a few moments the beauty and serenity of thescene .

Behold, the stars are forth, and walk thei rnightly beats, the locusts are abroad, and the whol econstellation of Fox is visible .

Turn now, my ecstaticized friends, the oculars o fyour imaginations to that Broad Way whic h leadethunto Petry 's, and behold the Cretan slow-bellie sissuing into the street . _Above them all we hea rthe voice of the Benjamite chanting like an artiller ywagon on a Corduroy R . It . : " How blissful is thehour ." Ah ! that pleasant voice is heard by awandering star, seeking whom he may devour .

61 Vulpis (Jimmy Holland) cries aloud that he ha ssmelled a noise, that the Cretan U. T . A, B . Soc .has been and got into the " milky way ;" and thi sis what results from using latch-keys . My friends ,he erred, yea, diabolically and parabolically (for hi seccentricity is more than one) ; it results from theuse of such spiritual principles as Holland's mad eplausible, by a few Schnapps of truth But ou rpious fervor hath made us to digress .

The evil-boding rays of Sirius shoot fell upo nthe path, and a voice seems to say in our menta llugs, this is going to be a Sirius business " NowNature, struggling from the centre of the vastydeep, arms herself against the doomed objects of thi sdiscourse Bravely they surmount the reelings o fthe heaving earth . Nobly they replant the gidd ylamp-posts . They stoop, but not to conquer ; theyare sickened ; their brains reel, and with disordere dcolon they sink " forty ducks in gutter ." Abomi-nable miscalculation ! one standeth yet ; by theflash of his eyes, and lurid light of a stream of puns ,you recognize the classic features of the Wittist .The regal independence of his disposition will no tallow him to accept a favor from Nature herself :He stands upon the edge of the gutter but refusingto allow Nature to toss him in unpaid, thusapostrophizes her ,

OBITUARY .

DIED of excessive friction of the wind-pipe ,Freshman Vale—Per Angusta ad Augusta .

0 pulcher Sol ! what an escape ! The Vale withwhich every succeeding Freshman class threaten sa community in the midst of its sins has agai npassed over and only the vast amount of blowingand Fresh Winds, which precede such giganti cfailures, have been experienced . The skies blub-bered 14 days of unalloyed joy after the announce-ment and the citizens of Philadelphia with lesssickly sentimentality than that of the ceruleancanopy of heal-en, consented again to smile, an dsupported ten extra genuine Drogheda organ-grind-ers who denounced in large placards to the 'varsalworld the imputation of Italian birth ,

The Vales have always been a very fragile andtalkative family . Only one class in the Universityever succeeded in bringing up one of these wizenedlittle exotics and they will never cease to talk o ftheir " Ridiculus Mus" while tongues can wag ,and then—they'll go it dumb.

The Freshman, (our class never were Freshmenin spirit) has not bid farewell to verdancy-, an dtherefore cannot conscientiously hold a Vale .But though as unprepared to appear before a nintelligent audience as an Onagra, he excels in on eimportant respect the most hardened ostrich thatever dined on a nail . Ile is not dyspeptic an dnothing, we defy even the Pythagorean bean thatholds the soul of his grandmother, can make hi mso. Therefore, 0 Verdantissimi take our adviceand say farewell to jackets in the serene Elysiumof some neighboring pie-bakers .

OUR CLASS .

WE started forth, gentle reader, in College-life amighty body of twenty-five . We were Freshmento be looked at . All eyes were riveted upon us ,and we knew it—the sensation was delightful .Why don't they do so now ? We indulged i npeg-tops only in places of the deepest solitude ,where we likewise practised a classical profanity ." By Jove, you know," '' Great Zeus," and kindre dexpressions popped out of our mouths on al loccasions with the same readiness as if we wer eancients .

In the matter of studies we were chiefly devote dto mathematics, and Prof. Kendall loved us like afather . Surds, equations, cube roots set before u sfor our edification disappeared like snow before th esun. Conclusions were reached by new and start -ling. methods ; theories were daily proposed of themost gigantic nature . In this way we jamme dfour years of mathematics into two, so that onl ythree of the more ignorant members of the Classwere obliged to keep it up after the end of th eSophomore year .

The chief feature in the Junior year was Militar yTactics . Perhaps no warrior shone so brilliantl yas Mr . Campbell, who exhibited daily to admirin gaudiences, his novel manner of performing th edouble quick, viz . : " Plant your elbows firmly a tyour sides, then raise your right foot fifteen inche sin the air, place your left foot beside it, throwyour eyes 15 yards in front of you, and count five . "This beautiful manoeuvre was always received wit happlause .

In the Senior year, we hung with intense interes tupon the wanderings of the Angrivarii, Dulgubini ,N Nuithones, and Longobardi, as detailed by Tacitus ,and corrected by Zeuss, Ukent, Adelung, andother German Novelists . We learned with horrorthat some of these tribes matched pennies (lay an dnight ; that some were slaves to Hordiebena ,according to Grimm, the modern Ginger-pop, an dthe German Reel ; and many other things of th eancient Teutons, that filled us with the deepes tdismay .

But few heads could stand such a course as this ,and we graduate only fifteen ! Some of our bestmembers left us in the Senior year, owing tosickness and the inquisitive disposition of MajorDick. We think of them to day, and with earnes twishes for their speedy recovery, we say :

Here' s to your health ,Und your familie's ;Und may dey allLive long and prosper ."

Three children sliding on the ice ,Upon a summer ' s day ;

It so fell out, they all fell in ,The rest they ran away .

Now, had these children been at home,Or sliding on dry ground ;

Ten thousand pounds to one penny ,They had not all been drowned .

" You parents that have children dear ,And eke you that have none ,

If you would have them safe abroad ,Pray keep them safe at home . "
