12 I'h hrj of Ih‘‘ ,S'rurrn. EDITORIAL ’80. “Thus fur our fortune keeps an onward course And we are blessed with wreaLhs of victory.” ■?; he present Freshman class entered upon the arena of College life a band of sixteen, and, although two have fallen from the high state to which they had attained, it rj st.II marches on with closed ranks. The class of ’79Stood round with dire awe and reverence depicted on every countenance, as the class of '80 made its debut on the first scenes of College life. Sad it was to see their additional dismay, as gazing-upon one after another of that solid phalanx, the pride and strength of Hobart's coming years,— ' All parts resound with tumults, plaints, and tears, And grizzly death in sundry shapes appears.” To such extent did this at length proceed, that they decided humbly to beseech the President to serve an injunction on the Freshmen for intimidation. Our pugilistic and physical attainments have been no more marked than our application to the pursuits of learning, or the un- feigned astonishment of the several Professors, as they noted our surprising proficiency in the acquisition of knowledge, in math- ematics, in the Greek, Latin and English Language and Literature. Other successes we might name, but our modesty prevents front proceeding further. Our only desire is to be as successful in the future as hitherto, while we bid our readers Vale pro tempore.
