I If) ECHO OP THE SENECA. Their efforts in this direction were as pitiful as those of one of tlioir members in another, to whom our class poet would say : “Now Young SopD, just take advice, Por it. is not very nice,. When, a cemetery lies upon the way, To go calling ont at night And compel a luckless wight To escort you home and to keep the ghosts at hay.” In the acquisition, of knowledge as well as in self-protection the deeds of the class of ’82 have been so numerous that in recording them the pencil of the Class Historian has been worn to a stub, and the Class Poet has sang in endless hexameter our actions, and the record of thorn will go down to future agos, a monument for future classes. Heeding th8 advice, “ little knowledge is a dangerous thing,” we have determined to “drink deep,” and to devote our best ener- gies to the task of acquiring knowledge, so that in. after days we may not regard the four years of college life wasted, when we look back and see only the silver lining to the cloud which then seemed so dark and impenetrable. Wc hope, nay feel certain, that it will not be so, and with this feeling uppermost in our hearts we trust that we shall succeed. jRoader, while we cannot, hope to have entertained you, yet if by our feeble efforts we have helped to wake the “Echo of the Seneca,”'we are satisfied, our duty is done, our mission ful- filled.
