r 2 ECHO or J‘HE SENECA. 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.
