E Bit TO m XI VA ♦ Another year has passed nwav, and as the time draws near for the appearance of the Echo ' under the guiding hand of the Class of with hesitation and doubt we assume the pen editorial ’ Yet wo are glad that the task, if it may be so called, of sounding the praises of our I u beneficent mother’’ has fallen to our lot at a time when the prospect before us is so bright, nud the heavens above seem clearer and more aus- picious than ever before in her eventful career. All of the friends of Houaut are greatly encouraged that within the last year something has boon done for her wolf.ire beyond delivering elo- quent speeches, making excellent resolutions and deceptive promises. We cannot believe that the resull of this effort is doubtful. The only question is, where can the funds be best applied for the interests of the College ?

Every one knows, or ought to know, that our College is not too rich, and that we need every year improvements and enlargements to keep up with the demands of these days of progress. Wo are sure that loyalty for Old Hobart and gratitude for the education received within her walls will stir up the Alumni and friends to raise the propose 1 amount far above that which wo need now in our urgent necessity. With the Faculty she now has, Hobart College is sure of receiving the hearty support of her zealous and real friends, not only in this place where she and her students aro move intimately known, but wherever the Alumni are scattered.

May we not excite in them an interest in her prosper- ity, and a desire to know more of her worth and the superiority of her Faculty, not only in learning but in ability to impart a portion of that learning to those who will listen to their instructions? But if our “Echo” should not carry out this noble purpose, may it not, in the future, covered with the dust and cobwebs of many years, once more meet our eyes and revive in our minds bright associations, happy memories and pleasant thoughts of College days ? Since the 44 Echo ” was last issued our Faculty has lost none of its number, but additions have been made which are the best. On our re- turn, we heard with sincere pleasure that Dr. 11.vxk.ine had consented to
