EDITORIAL extend in advance to expectant readers the word in V’AX .apologetic. We shall he unable upon this occasion fw to exhibit our classic shades.” They are barely convalescent from a severe attack id tht classic oo- tic, and their long-continued services assuredly entitle them to sym- pathy. '• The rugged portion of the sleep hill of learning ” is in the hands of the Main Street Improvement Societ. , and will be ready for climbers when “Gay comes marching home. Weave sorn to be obliged to state, in addition, that our “ time-honored halls ” give more marked evidence of the existence of the historic jack-knife of the student than the immediate presence of the Halo of Glory. We all “studiously shun the “ pathway of knowledge. A com- pany of young men. dwellers among us for four years, having set out upon this mythical highway last June, have not been heard from since, and—probably never will be. Aristophanes, Josh Billings, or some other philosopher with more than philosophic acumen lias remarked : “ Blessed are they who expect nothing, for they will never be disappointed. If our readers will accept this wise “ saw in good faith, we will guarantee them the highest satisfaction with the Echo, and shall, at the same time, proceed with our responsible labors, confident of the attainment ol our ends. Astonishment, very faintly conveys an idea of the feeling aroused in the writer of this editorial, when upon looking over an old file of The Geneva Gazette recently, his eye was attracted by an article descriptive of a public dinner to the Board of Trustees of Hobart College, The issue was that of June 26th, 1829, and the account was rich, rare, racy, and withal complete. “Joke followed joke,’ etc., (vide Shakspeare). Was that feast the last that gladdened the hearts of those old patriarchs ? Were those venerable perpen- dicularities then liorizontalized to await the final trump? Or has the sleep of Rip Van Winkle been emulated in successive continui- ty ? Will fifty years suffice to span their deep, unbroken slumbers ? If so. then may the Sun rise on Old Hobart in 1879. The friends ot culture have been much cheered this fall by the many indications of activity at our prominent seats of learning. The Yale boys heroically attacked a procession of Odd Fellows in Sep- 4 of tin Seneca. lumber, anti the skillful manner in which they projected the black diamonds gave evidence of their proficiency in geometrical studies. The Harvard students created a little temporary diversion by means of the premature explosion of some nitro-glycerine, which made considerable stir, and illustrated the practical utility of the genus glazier. The undergraduates of Dartmouth in a mild way mobbed a bookstore, and at Hamilton the pole ” was elevated by assisting the President’s carriage to a secure position on the Chapel. These little circumstances are very refreshing to those who begin to despair of the interest manifested in intellectual pursuits. The ennui, at Hobart this fall has been appreciably relieved at times by “ waking up the town. There was a lire alarm and great excite- ment at two o’clock A. M , all caused by the ringing of the College hell. Some ascribed the difficulty to an undue proximity of ye re- doubtable Fresh. At any rate one of them paid twelve dollars for supposed complicity in producing the aforesaid gentle tintinnabu- lations. No cards ! Taken all in all. the Class of'79 has given evidence of unusual precocity, and the wonderful development on the part of the Fresh culminated in their appearance at Chapel one morning with the forbidden cane. Although a small class—only twenty-six — they looked formidable, especially when seen through the goggles of the Sophs. The honor of the College, however, was heroically vindicated by '78 in the : ush which took place after Chapel. There were then fifty-two canes where there had been hut twenty-six, and on the ground where stood the noole men of '79 but six remained, and they are here yet. Two Sophomores water-logged by the Fresh, and one man with a fractured skull are the only other casualties worthy of mention. There is no interest in boating at Hobart whatever. Which ar- ' gues that the quality of her muscle could gain distinction at the Inter-Collegiate regatta; which argues that site has a fine boat house ; which argues that within one hundred yards of her doors lies one of tire finest sheets of water for aquatic sports to he found in all America. Were she obliged, like Amherst, to carry her oars three or four miles, or like Williams, to scull on the bed ol a dry stream, or like Hamilton, to feather on the toe and heel paths, be- yond question her energy in surmounting obstacles would place “a six” with poised oars at the start, to respond to the signal gun at Saratoga. Speaking on this subject, reminds us to suggest that the lumber remaining from the erection of the boat house, at present a disllg- he afi he - uremeni to the Coll.-,- terra.-,. should lm ulili I In- building lau-r.il ■.t'.ils in provide tor ilu- .H-Vi.ium.nl ilu n ol special- - •Still, if the achievements of i 1,1 Hobart vt ren in to be vhroni- ck-d by the historian ol the •• shell. her victories u; on the ball fieKI are tangible. ami ilo not partake of the character of .itmosphor- ic palaces.

It'the absent nines were not alarm- ed at Hobart’s fame, she at all events was on the round, ready for a toe wherever found. hen the cry was first raised, •• Mire a hall!” Hobart began to look around, ami decided that the old Medical College afforded the necessary facilities lor public gatherings, where the students might gesticulate wildly and shout aloud to admiring auditors, lienee the improvements at present visible in that stately and consecrated pile; hence tin- artistic frescoing on the walls of that assembly chamber with those finely adapted acoustic properties ; hence those curtains, paintings and exhibitions of scenic art : hence that vast outlay of available funds. Hut. alas ! all in vain ! Those velvet caipels could not inullle the spectre-tread of avenging' victims. ’I’he mangled corpses nt the dissecting table arose for other post mor- tem attentions. Into that ghostlike abode they stalked at noon ; tiny stalked at midnight, and with accents pathetic and ceaseless round, their thrilling cry was II ire a hall !” 1 lie reading room has become a reality, and apartments elegantly tilted up through the munificence of the President, have been pre- sented to the students, with but few and equitable restrictions in their use. The Faculty has been augmented this term by the arrival of the new and long expected Chaplain, in the person of the Rev. Walter Ayrault, D. D. To himself and family, on behalf ol the students we extend a hearty welcome. A word, before closing, with reference to the position of t-Iobart in the Educational world and her relations with the Church. Hobart's position as a College, though peculiar, is honorably so. While her standard of admission is high, she does not require the education ol applicants to be completed, as do many of our large Uni- versities which arc obliged to take this course to preserve a reputa- tion secured in the past. On the contrary, she takes in the man to educate him, by bona fide professors, through the instrumentality ol the recitation, and not to gloss him over with the smattering' of tutes and the loud theories of itinerant lecturers. Furthermore, Hobart is distinctively' a classical institution. Site stands by those Echo of t ic Seneca. ■6 ■old “ lores ” whose wisdom grows richer with the accumulating centuries. She has not yet discarded the study of those writers whose philosophies have furnished the light of ages, and their lan- guage, grandeur to every tongue. For this, all thanks ! Among the graduates of an institution whose age embraces fifty years, are many starred names. Men who once sat upon those battered benches have become jurists, eminent in their state and country. Men who once trod those halls of learning have won prominence at the bar. distinction as legislators, obtained recog- nition on the floor of the nation's senate, and inspired wisdom in her councils. Hobart's past is at least secure ; let the Church as- sure her future triumph—the triumph of an institution that has given culture to her priesthood, learning to her conclaves, eloquence to her pulpit! If endowments are needed, let them he forthcoming from thi t Church whose reputation is for boundless wealth, whose boast is a most highly educated and disciplined clergy, and whose perpetuity is dependent upon the early inculcation of doctrine by the professor and the priest! The fact stands undisputed and in- disputable. that while Unita nanism is nurtured by Harvard, Con- gregationalism strengthened by Yale: while the Presbyterians lav- ish gifts on Amherst and Hamilton, and the Baptists on Brown and Rochester—the Protestant Episcopal Church persistently withholds support from her colleges, hoards her wealth, and sends her sons to seats of instruction whose principles are those of neutrality to God. We do not believe fixed law s will be abrogated for the benefit of any ysstem of ecclesiasticism. and it needs no prophet to foretell the future of that Church, which, in a land where education is universal and free as air, neglects the sources of her refinement, her enlighten- ment and her popular power. We do not put this forth as a “ hark from the tombs a doleful sound.” Far from it. The institution prospers, the mills still grind, and though cars may come and years may go. Old Hobakt lives forever.” i'.cho of the Semoti. EDITORIAL ’76 X insatiato cry for ••copy compels ’76 10 resume the editorial chair once more. It is only to bid the readers of •the Echo a kind Good live ! How the very mention of OC ' L that common-place comes laden with the scenes of these time-worn halls ! The happy memories of the past and the augu- melancholy, and imbibe the spirit of palmy Freshman days, or ex- uberant Sophomore life. Even the “gay and happy period ot Junior exploits tails to provoke more than a passing throb. “ We are growing old !” We pass from the arena of College life, each bearing his trophies. We take up the gauntlet only to cast it down at the feet of stern reality.” Ambition is sated, and our records are sealed. The pathway of life will echo to our tread, and. perchance, we may greet each other on the way. That spirit of good-fellowship, which as a class we have maintained, can only serve to invigorate us at the recognition. The mills of the gods have ground fine. Our disappointments and trials, our hopes and fears, are the merest chaff. Our many absent comrades have the sweet consolation of our earnest well-wishes and lasting remembrance. Our Alma Mater parts with 11s to know us no more save as her luture champions. We gather around her sacred shrine, and with reverent attitude catch her last tender words—Pax Vobiscum ! ries of the future crowd upon us. Fain would we escape the soft S' Echo of he Seneca. EDITORIAL '77, HE collegiate rubicon has been crossed—the role o! r upper-classmen assumed, and clothed with the dignits incident to the title, we proceed by appointment to sling the editorial ink of Sevrntv-skvkn. It is our intention to give this article a somewhat historical character, and in doing this we shall expect the usual immunities consequent upon so great responsibility. It has often been remarked as a strange co-incidence, that the best men in Hobart should have all entered in the same class, hut as the members of '77 did not enter in this year, the fact is perhaps one of little moment to our readers. As Juniors we can point with pride Lo a past replete with noble deeds, many of which modesty will forbid us to record, while lack of space will prevent the great bulk from being properly set forth. This reminds us of a little story—but we will proceed as before, with- out saying anything. Our debut was rendered brilliant by one of our number, who for a Freshman, executed a manoeuvre which would have done credit to a Marshal of France. Meeting some Sophs, out late one night, he allured them to the docking, enticed them into a boat, and rowing them across the lake, left them there singing We wont go home, etc. This act secured for our class many well-deserved compli- ments. The surveying expedition, in our Sophomore year, was a memora- ble occasion. One gentleman promised to write a “ full ” account of the affair, but his feelings overcame him early in the evening, and his notes, somewhat imperfect, were found to conclude as fol- lows : “ Happy th’ght, g’t bed in m’ boots.” The “ Soph. Ex.” of ’77 was notable for the pointed burlesque of the Freshmen, the large sprinkling of the “ Fail-.” and some very good speaking. The programmes were gilt-edged. Echo of the Seneca. 9 We thought we heard some one say: “We buried Calculus! Yes, we did ; we cremated the old boy very effectually, and some- thing like ten thousand people witnessed the ceremony at the dead hour of night. That's all.

EDITORIAL '78. the beginning of fast year how long it seemed to look .'■uX 'forward, before that class which entered Hobart rejoicing in the title Seventy-eight, should become Sophomores, with ;iiii-� -£ tradilionary rights to plug hats, canes and whiskers. But the turning year has accomplished the event, and we feel that we indeed have the Sophomore name and fame so often hand- ed down, to maintain. Our first year in College was passed in quietly ridding ourselves of whatever of the uncollegiate customs had been brought within the College walls, and in mastering the studies assigned us. With an unselfish spirit which is truly commendable. Seventy seven per- sisted in leaving us unmolested, a favor for which we are deeply grateful. We came back this year somewhat wearied, it is true, by the hard fighting around sacred Ilium, and by the fatiguing journeys which we undertook with Ulysses. Our trip with Hannibal across the Alps was made rather difficult by chillv weather; but we are rapidly regaining our health and spirits by taking now and then a jar of Falernian or Ctecuban with our jolly friend Horace, and by an overland jaunt in company with the nephew of Artabanus. In all class matters we act in the most perfect unity, gaining, by this, one great element of strength, and being spared the ill fee ing among classmates which class factions too often engender. The lower class certainly has no reason to complain of treatment received from ours. Though not disposed to be overbearing or aggressive, and in fact unwilling to resent insults which might have been offered through mere ignorance, we have shown beyond ques- tion that Seventy-eight permits no invasion of its privileges, and have vindicated the character of the class. Many a broken cane adorns the walls, an unobtrusive but clear reminder to the evil- minded not to arrogate too much, nor endeavor “things unattempt- ■'r tc of the Si mm. n ed heretofore. For a new specimen has been added to the museum, the Homunculus viridis--habits quarrelsome, color green, and we shall not miss the grass and leaves, being refreshed by sight of verdure of as decided a shade and full as natural. But it is not our intention to keep up a strife which is forgotten in perfect good feeling, on the removal of its momentary cause. In good fellowship with the other classes, we will maintain the credit of our own physically and mentally. Though entering upon this year with diminished numbers, it is only with an increased determination to close ranks and render firmer the lies wich bind us as classmates together —to leave such marks behind as we pass these few years here, that we can point 12 Jicho of the Seneca. EDITORIAL '79. - - HE members of the Class of'79 gladly avail themselves —of the opportunity and space granted them to announce • vJjR themselves to the world. £ 5 As Freshmen we introduce ourselves ; and as Fresh- men beg that you will bear with us during the perusal ot this short article. It is not proposed to give here an account ofihe many virtues and fine qualities which the class possesses—the modesty ol the class, for which it is well noted, would not permit it—but merely to set forth plain facts in a plain way, as becometh Freshmen, Let others sound the praises ! Although we can not boast of being the largest ot the many classes that have made Old Hobart’s” classic and time-honored walls resound to their footsteps, it is generally acknowledged that what we lack in numbers we make up in quality. Dame Nature, ever playing some of her wonderful tricks, has been kind to us, and given us a full share of brain and muscle. To the former, our general deportment in the recitation room and the opinions of the Professors testify ; to the latter, our conduct during the few weeks past bears witness. Om associations thus far in College life have been very pleasant. We have formed many agreeable acquaintances in the other classes. The Seniors and Juniors, from their •• lofty heights of dignity,” have welcomed us right heartily to Old Hobart's ” walls, and even the Sophomores, contrary to the law of College custom, have been very desirous to clasp hands across the bloody chasm.” With such good will everywhere existing, all things move on quite pleasantly for us. Our only regret is, that to our long list of pleasures we have not been able to add the pleasure trip across the Seneca at dead of night, a trip which it is customary for Freshmen to take. Echo of the Seneca. I 1 I I | ( I One was planned, but owing to unlocked-foi circumstances it had to be adjourned “ sine die.” In making our appearance upon the stage of College life, we have put away childish things and the numerous customs and habits of school-boy life. Our aim is high, for in the words of the immor- tal Websier, •• There is always room at the top. We try to be such that our Alma Mater need never be .ashamed of us. but may leel proud to mention in future years the Class of '79. Then ring out Old Hobart’s praises, till, rising like the eagle in his airy flight, her glory ever extending onward and upward, shall reach to the very clouds, and every he.-rt within her walls shall be fired to do valient deeds for her.

Dear I’ai� ; I have now been in college one month, and thinking you would like to hear of my intellectual progress. I steal a moment from the allotted hours of study to indite a few lines to that place of places—home, (Parent soliloquizing — I am afraid the boy is working too hard, they push them so.) This is a lively place. The Sophomores and our class had a cane rush the other day. Our class came out victorious, but my best pants were spoiled and that little gold-headed cane you gave me was broken all to pieces, but 1 saved the head and will bring it home. (The deuce.) Your letter containing the spondulix came very opportunely, but I am very sorry there was not enough to go around. (Mas the boy been giving it away ? 1 sent him eighty dollars.) Several unexpected contingents have arisen and 1 am sorry to ask for more so soon, (I should think so.) 1 have been taking draughting lessons (, I am glad of that) ol 1’rof. Ramsey, who illustrates his subjects every time on a liule slate he has. 1 have attended these lessons very regularly, and lorn and Jerry always go with me. ( Tom and Jerry ! Chums, 1 suppose.) I must liquidate my bill here every month, can you bear the expense ? (1 will try to.) What ales this pen ! (The boy is careless in his spelling.) I go to church ever)- Sunday. (Right my boy. quite right.) and my pew rent is twenty-five dollars. (Ah ! perhaps he had better go around the first year and see which preacher he likes best; I will suggest that. Ah ! twenty-five dol- lars !) I was highly honored the other day bv an invitation to join the Philorhetorian society ; of course 1 ventured to join without con- sulting you. The initiation fee is only fifteen dollars, some ol the other societies charge twenty-five, and I think 1 am very lortunate. ( es, very.) A new reading room has been started. (I hope he will patronize something useful.) all the boys subscribed and 1 put down ten dollars. (Just so !) 1 give the items below, and 1 hope you will respond largely. Your dutiful son. John More.

GO ON.” An improved edition containing emendations and improvements on the original will soon be issued, edited by Smith. Babcock. and Cummings. Their accurate knowledge of the subject is a sufficient guarantee for the thoroughness of the work. Particular subjects will be treated of by members of the club as follows : Clarke on : ” It is no presumption against whiskers that they did not exist before. Nature shows many instances ol such com- passion. “ Take them up tenderly. Handle with care, Fashioned so slenderly. Young and so fair. Chew and SCOON on : “ An accurate knowledge of the conspec- tus. the proper mode of salvation.” Roberts on : We manage to pass our days in comfort, i. e., By not studying Butler. Rutherford on : We exist here in two very different states, i. e., Single and married. Thompson on : •• It had been better for him had he never been born. Reflections after meeting of the club. Wilson Oil : 11 The general scope of the book. Van Deventer on : “Temporal good is enjoyed in very differ- en i degrees among MEN of the same species.” The whole is to be supplemented by a lecture on “ Men capable of being improved as illustrated by the club, to be delivered imme- diately after examination by the President of the Club. This work will be sold only by subscription. Life size portraits of the members will be among the attractive features. The work is respectfully dedicated to Beast Butler of Mass. “ No smoking allowed ; oh clear, what a sell ! When I light my old pipe I must vomit as well.” CLARKE, .. . ROSS....... KIDNEY .....
