3 BCHO OF TI1J5 SISNBCA.. At length has come the time when ’79 must pub lishthe annual Echo. The task has been a pleasant one, and the class hope to afford at least a few moments' amusement to the rest of the College by their undertaking. The editore expect and ask criticism: hut they also ask each critic to talk to himself’, fearing lest the flood of faults, exposed to the insignificant three, drive them quite crazy. The matter has been written at odd times,—though principally just after ehapel, when ail were in good humor,—and is submitted to the reader with great timidity, together with the hope that it will not hurt him. iu obtaining and arranging the contents of this volume the editors have refused all bribes from the different classes,—especially from the Freshmen,—and have published the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. Finally, we welcome '80 to the editor’s chair, and with our best- bow bid you all F abb avis r.n !

0 BCUO OF Tins KFXKCA, .OST djgniiled Senior, gallant Junior boastful Sophomore, and gentle Freshman, lay aside for awhile your cares and duties, and join with us in celebrating the eighteenth birth- day of “ The Echo of the Seneca.” It- is indeed an event £ worthy of congratulation by every son of Hobart. Yon, vener- i able Alumni, who havo watched -with, loving tenderness the first: steps of tliis joyous maiden, who have guarded her with jealous care through childhood's happy hours, and who have noted with the eye of affection the first signs of dawning womanhood, look upon her now, as she comes before you, clad in. the true grace and beauty of full maturity. We, to whom is intrusted the delicate task of introducing her. to her many admirers on this auspicious day, should approach the duty with proper care and thoughtfulnoss, To us was kindly given a short time since the pleasure of examin- ing the only complete file of Echoes extant, and thinking our roaders would bo as interested as we were in the subject, we have prepared for thejr benefit a short description of the first number of “'The Echo of the Seneca ' which was published in June, 1858, by the class of T 0, who were then Sophomores. It is a four-page sheet, in size about eighteen by fourteen inches The first page is adorned by a wood-cut of the College buildings. The new Chapel had not then been erected, the old Philosophical building is therefore the first in the row. The rest of the first page is devoted to the Fraternities, which were at tliat time the Alpha Delta Phi (17 members), the Sigma Phi (17 members) the Theta Dsclta Cm (15 members), the E, F., an anti- secrot society, established in 185 f , (7 members). On the second page is printed the Board of Editors; the Publishing Committee - the ed- itorial; a poem; the Faculty, and Board of Trustees. The names of the editors ave G. Applegate, S. D, Cornell, G. A, Boswell, and W. G. Milter,
