Hobart College - Echo of the Seneca Yearbook (Geneva, NY)

Text from Pages 1 - 77 of the 1874 volume:

THE PUBLISHED IJY THE CLASS Ol- 1 EDITORIAL. ‘iJTORCttl out hirk and time-worn rocks of learning and TlT sn v wisdom, with their strata tessellated and inwoven with w 3lW;:o youthful mirth and vigor, he it ours to form and sculp- ture with word-chisels and bright tools of intellect, the loved and living image of our bvgone thoughts. Sweet Echo, sweetest nymph that liv'st unseen, ours he it to mould in graceful folds thy lovely robes, so to fashion thy charming }°rm and features, that e’en Narcissus himself might love ; that cold skeptics, who uphold the darkest side and plunge into the stern realities ol lile ; that College Narcissi, who see nothing save their own perfection rellected in the glassy pool of self conceit ; that every one. “ from the old fogey in his dreamless sleep to the young tanatic in his sleepless dream. allured by thy surpassing charms, may e'en turn aside, il not with true admiration, still with awe and interest to peruse thv features, and perchance to spend a few pleas- ant moments in thy presence Distrustful of our ability to maintain an adventurous flight on winged words, and discouraged that we should have sought in vain a new and untrodden way through the dark editorial wilderness we turn at Iasi into the broad highway pressed by the sacred foot- steps uf a long line of noble predecessors ; we clothe ourselves in thi- traditional editorial mantle, and giving up vague phantasies, whi' h crowd our brain, coniine ourselves to stern and staid realities. Our wanderings, as painful perhaps tons as they have been to you, we pray you forgive. Grave Seniors, your approval. Gay Brother Juniors, turn for a few brief moments from a world of flirtations and lovely conquests. Wise and valiant Sophomores, lay aside vour canes, and for the while forget all paternal solicitude for lh« trembling Fresh. Freshmen attention ! learn sage wis- dom and dark mysteries. Hoiiart, with the golden halo of age surrounding her, stands forth a bright and glowing example of what the will and stirring energy of a few noble men can accomplish. True, we cannot point to elegant and dazzling structures, and say herein lieth our great- 4 KCUo 'll- rill s.|.-skca. ness—in tins doth consist nur |imu'i ;iml ivumvn -hut every weath- er-beaten stone may tell of power and greatness : every scarred and well-worn stair may unfold the record of more than hall a century, on which, without a single hint or irange disfigurement. illustrious deeds stand forth. Arc we judged hy our buildings, nur wealth. floor are wc indeed. Are we judged I the merits ai.d high-stand- ing, hy the jfival deeds and nohle nanu s of those who have’trodden our beloved halls, we are rich beyond comparison. A lifrlit-hou.se is judged not h as structure, hut In its power of reflecting light ; still we do not mean to imply that the light-house would not be belter if improved or perfected. Owing to a ureal increase in the- number of students, and the impetus which that has naturaliv lent to college sports and duties the first term of our College Year has thus far glided imperceptibly along. A movement has been inaugurated by the students, which will place the College Reading Room on a permanent basis. Ye most sin- cerely hope that the marked and awakened interest in literature which has brought this measure about, may make its inlluence lelt upon the whole College, and, ;is in days gone by the good old Hennean and Philopeuthian Societies waged their wars of literature, so may we. their followers, renew the contest. Among the advantages which the reading-room may be said to possess, and yet apart from itself, is the connection of one or more rooms with it. This affords, as it were, a convenient and comfort- able place of resort for such students as have not rooms in College, and who by this means may, between recitations, avoid the long walk to the city. It is our most happy lot to chronicle, what has long been deemed a myth, as most notorious fact. Our boat-house is no longer a dream or idle boast, but a real anti substantial truth. The piers, one 90 feet in length, the other 70, have been completed, and the boat- house itself is soon to be finished. One of our professors, with great generosity and energy, has in co-operation with one or two students carried on the work, though we are stiriy to say not with- out some expense and trouble, to its present position. May the ladies of Geneva, who. in truth, by their own trouble and persevering ef- forts have brought about this great work, accept our warmest and yet most unworthy thanks. And, ere long, when the rippling waves shall woo and kiss the slender “shell,'’ and from our boat-house balcony fair faces beam encouragement, while ’mid shouts of victo- ry and splashing oars the race is won, we trust they will not feel ECHO OK THE SENECA. 3 altogether unrepaid, t )ne or two boats have already been promised us, and by the beginning of the next college year we fully hope to see several crews upon the lake. ['he Gymnasium is to be connected with the boat-house, and will be yen' handsomely titled up and most liberally supplied with all needful apparatus. We feel assured that immediately this great want has been supplied, its good effect will be perceptible not only physically blit intellectually. It is the old and homely saying over again : J cns sono in corpore sono.— Mental culture the offspring ol Physical, and both combining to make the perfect scholar. Then, perhaps, before long we shall have those contests of strength and skill between the classes, which are ever so beneficial to both stu- dents and college. Our base ball nine has this year been unusually successful, and indeed we may say has carried everything before it. Matched against the superior forces of Cornell and Syracuse Universities, she has still come forth victorious. While bearing with becoming modesty the honor we have thus gained, we do not feel it overbold or improbable to say, should the ensuing Spring evince such mark- ed improvement in base ball as has this season been shown, that beyond a doubt Hobart will be represented at Saratoga next Summer in the contest tor the intercollegiate championship. To the citizens of Geneva, who have with such open generosity con- tributed toward the expenses necessarily incurred throughout the season, and who have moreover at different times so kindly extend- ed their courtesies to the Nine, we would express the gratitude and esteem which is so justly due them ; and to repeat an old toast—• may our success in the field be commensurate with their liberality.” The new College Hall, in what was formerly the Medical College, which is to be used for till College exercises and gaities, will be commenced in the Spring. It remains forus but to point to the growth and welfare of the College and we are done. More eloquent than I might tell of future greatness which is hers, of the great achievements which Hobart has already performed, of glory which is due her, ot strength and wisdom which years have given and shall ever give. Ami now as we close, sadly we fall into a reverie, and muse- how as Freshmen and Sophomores we looked forward with awe and reverence to the time when it should be our duty to publish this lime-honored annual; how, now that duly is over, we are two years nearer the goal which we have hoped to reach, and yet which 6 EC IIO Jl ! !-iK SENECA. will be so sad and full of grief to us. When gathers around us fast amid the purple gloaming the sad, sad evening of our college days: when in th drrp and tearful draught in whirl) we drain the cup of sweet remembrances and happy days gone In . � 1 boyhood s recol- lections and associations dear, we e’en must taste the dregs of bit- terness at parting, let not the hilling thought that we have accom- plished nothing, that four of the sweetest years ol our life have been thrown a wav, add one more drop to the cup already overflowing with grief. My task is done—my song hath ceased—my theme Hath died into an ECHO; The torch shall he extinguished which hath lit My midnight lamp,—and what is writ is writ— Would it were worthier. Farewell ! ECHO OF THE SENECA. 7 EDITORIAL OF '75. m iHE prophet with his ever ready wit again attracts our atten- tion hv his somewhat Hurried countenance: and having admit- o ted the revered personage to our sanctum we ask • What will •P the gentleman have?” In a very plaintive tone he replies: Ye men of Seventy-Five, your course is almost run : twill soon be time to pack your “Saratogas ' and tear yourselves from your dear mother’s apron strings. Hut before this, ye are permitted, through the medium of the Echo or the Seneca, to extol your many no- ble acts, to review your past life, and to speak a kind word for your Alma Mater. Tis indeed an easy thing to suggest, oh. Prophet! but how diffi- cult to do ! “ IIor opus, hie labor is . But il ’twill please you. tho’ causing sorrow to us, the sacrifice will be gladly made. When, having escaped from the name and place of school boys, we entered Mohan, a College not only remarkable for its age and standing, but also famous as the alma mater of a large number of the most eminent men that have ever adorned our country, there was an all-important era formed in our lives. From the first we had a character to sustain, and how nobly have we sustained that character ! That we have “ profited thereby is the humble wish of the prophet. Our college course may now be looked back upon by us all with mingled emotions. The retrospect of its advantages, its pleasing associations both with professors and fellow students, will never fail to inspire gratitude. There may be recollections of main mistakes, many failures, many losses of prTt ious opportunities and many false steps, which shall cause us a great deal of sell-it pioach ; but how unspeakably more would we profit by the privileges dieted if we could be p rmitu d to enjo) them again. But we are run to be cl ejected In this reflection, lor we leave be- hind us a glowing record. Our lour ears of labor ha t been but the st dpping-stom to a higher field of life, to which we are now l nding, and whie h lies t}J i.lt I U re us. 1 or nil this, O, mether ! 8 i :cho mi im si:xi: a. we ;in indebted l' thee.

Let each one of us, then, who has acted the part of a dutiful son while under thy care -who has received that faithful and affection- ate training which has never been withheld from us, ever be ready to exclaim of his literary parent, with all the delightful emotions of filial respect and gratitude— A1 run. mater, semper llorens, semper honoratissima, semper beam.

For. had they not thrown olf the title of “ under-classmen,” and were they not now to enjoy that otiinn cum dig” tradition had ascrib- ed to the Junior year? Such at least was their anticipation, but alas ! how different the reality I For our lofty title, we must give up the happy larks of Sophomore experience, while the only dig.” enjoyed is digging alter mysterious roots, with what results we dare not mention. To recall the history of the past—our first appearance on the College arena — how Minerva-like we sprang into being with the strength of maturity, and at once look a commanding position among those of riper experience ; the victories achieved again and again over the would-be lords of creation above us ; the Soph. Ex- hibition. so universally praised ; and the sad burial of old Elias—these and many other of our deeds need no elaboration ; they are deeply engraved on the Pillar of Fame. The opening of another year has materially increased our ranks with those whoso course hitherto gives ample assurance that the fair reputation of ’76 will not suffer at their hands. We would ex- tend to them a hearty welcome, and in the language of old Rip would add,- May you all live long and be happy!” Fain would we dwell upon the triumphs of the past, and indulge in happy dreams of the future. Hut. as editors of this honored com- pendium of College life, we willingly point to it as an index of our character. In the many improvements made, we lake a pardonable pride, and we trust that wherein our efforts have failed, “ the qual- ity of mercy will not be strained.” ECHO OF THE SEN EC A.

EDITORIAL OF '78. 7 y Tj u • .v—• hjj HE Class of Seventy-Eight has commenced its college course 3 with the resolve to make its mark, and that a high one. As vet we have only begun, and it may be too early now to pro- ’vjSi phesy as to what the result of our eflorts will be ; but rest as- sured. that when the class, which old Hobart is to send forth in '78, does break on the world, its effulgence will dazzle the eyes 0! all beholders. Thus far in our course, all has run along smoothly and quietly. The Sophomores, from some unknown motive, have allowed us to do much as we please : so there have been no disturbances in that quarter. And of course the Freshmen have had nothing to do with ringing the bell, and painting the buildings, at dead of night. Having been here now some ten weeks, most of us have ceased to speak of college as “school, and invariably call the instructors Professors. Some of us cart even smoke quite a segnr without sick- ness ; and we all have made rapid progress and improvement in the branches of learning. Keeping up this state of affairs, we intend to be a class which shall never reflect discredit on our College, hut rather bring it praise. ECHO or THE SENECA. TRUSTEES.

For the benefit of Sub-Fresh- men we explain, that at present hot i are lambs, and dear, innocent little long-legged ones at that. A Senior hands us the following- paper, which his Freshman ac- cidentally dropped. Oh! Frisii!!!!!! We Freshmen, knowing' that it is wicked to duck, shave, or in any way molest the Sophomores, not to mention anything about lack of courage in ourselves, do hereby swear by Bohn's last edition, not to provoke aforesaid Sophs, but alwavs to treat them with the rev- erence due from Geese to Ganders : never to snow-ball them, and always to apologize for carrying a cane, even when it happens to be an umbrella. If in any way, by the will of an inscrutable providence this paper shall fall into the hands of the Sophomores, we beg them, on our knees as verdant Freshmen, that they will forgive this bold attempt to defend ourselves.” Signed.
