Their rapid exit hurries ns on to the fulfilment MfJ0 ) of thoso dutie,s for which wo are supposed to be fitted, by the gray hairs and increased wisdom that traditionally attaches to the dignity of upper classmen. Of these duties the most agreeable, and perhaps the most important, is the issuing of our college annual The Echo ojr the Senjsoa. .Naturally we feel a degree of concern as to the reception which our effort will meet when completed. Nor to essay anything of a, literary character, in however limited a degree. is to set up a target upon which, certain alarmingly acute individu- als delight to display their astounding knowledge and skill in (ho art of criticism. Since such, however, constitute the class of those who make it their business to derogate without possessing the ability to suggest improvement, their opinion occasions little uneasiness. Just criticism, on the other hand, is desirable, and from it we have no re-ason either to claim or expect exemption. Indeed to escape altogether would be severe reflection upon the production thus ignored. While therefo.ro we would mildly hint that thoso who ha%'e only petty weapons to employ, keep them laid aside—lest they cut themselves-we respectfully ask for the kindly criticism of those who are competent to give it. It has been the earnest endeavor of her editors that the Eorro this year should he fully up to her average standard of merit. We have aimed to make her as far as we could a correct picture of our college world; a picture from which other college men and former graduates of Hobart (for these alone can be her proper interpreters) may derive a true idea of our college life hero at present. And if to any of those whom Alma, Mater has nurtured in years long gone by, the pleasure of a single hour is given—if to such a one our 1 J Bono shall truly be an echo of the past, softening life’s rugged winter by awakening happy memories of college experience—we shall feel that our efforts have been fully repaid. Our pages will be found lacking in that peculiar and highly elevating species of satire which consists in lampooning members of the Faculty. We would even express it as our own humble opinion that the allusions which appeared in Eighty’s Echo (though doubtless deriving much luster from the mere fact of their emanating from, so brilliant a class) were not the quintessence of wit. Again, we did not feel that we had any right to encroach upon the valuable time of the freshmen or cause them to rack their in nocent brains to provide subject matter other than their regular editorial, however much our Echo might have been improved thereby. This is another point in. which we have presumed to set aside the example left: us by our immediate predecessors, whose “characteristic modesty ” did not; permit them to exercise that originality for which they arc so justly celebrated. This rash conduct will doubtless call down upon our editorial heads quite an avalanche of criticism from our senior Mends; but in the language of the orator of the revolu- tion, 11 Let it come!” By forming a sort of intellectual joint stock combination with the freshmen they will possibly evolve something crushing, which may grace be given us to bear in “aequo animo.” It is a most gratifying portion of our duty to chronicle the con- summation of some of the projects anticipated in the Echo of last year. With regard to the matte)1 of a navy, the chief step has been taken and the last great obstacle removed. In other words sufficient funds for the purchase of boats have been secured, a constitution prepared, and the necessary officers elected, and with- out doubt the sunlight of the coming spring will flash upon the wake of our college crew. The foot-hall association, too, is no longer a myth existing only in printer’s ink, but is, at last, a happy realiza- tion. The men composing the fifteen, some of whom arc experi- enced players, exhibit a degree of skill, and pluck that bids fair for their future prowess. Under the efficient training of the present manager and captain. a successful campaign, may be expected during the approaching season. In connection with the navy and foot-ball associations, it is but j! w Jm Ii justice to state that our progress in these matters has been largely due to the energy and experience of the men who entered the dif- ferent classes in Hobart toward the close of last year Our Alma Mater has indeed great reason to congratulate herself upon the acquisition she lias made by receiving into her ranks those men. The chemical labratory alluded to last year as a thing of the .future now completed, and the long-wlshcd-for chemistry lectures will be held once- more. The.Latin Triennial Catalogue is also in circulation. Another project still, which has been carried out by the Faculty and Trustees within the last year, is the institution of honorary examinations, which are held biennially, at the dose of the Sophomore and Senior years. This fact renders it more plain than ever, that although Ilobart may be inferior to some other col- leges in the mere number of her students, yet her standard, of scholarship is such that in the- intellectual attainments of her alumni she will be surpassed by none. Among the literary achievements of her students since the last issue of the Kcho Is the starting of the Hobart Herald, a monthly sheet which compares very favorably with other college periodi- cals, if we may judge from the commendatory criticisms which it has almost universally received from the latter. One brief glance at the retrospect and then we close. On our entrance into college as a class we numbered, live. The entire number of all. the students at that time was twenty-one. Trinity Hall had just been, repaired. Geneva Hall was not lit for the abode of civilized man. Within two years JtfgMy-one’s orig- inal five has increased to thirteen. The twenty-one of the college has grown i:o sixty-five. The present freshman class, number- ing twenty-seven, is the largest class that has entered Hobart for fifteen years. Hotter dormitories than ours cannot be found in any other college in the land. The finances of the college are estab- lished upon a firm basis, and her patronage is daily increasing with her mci'easing reputation for high, scholarship and sound religious influence In view, then, of what has been effected within so short a space of time, the question naturally arises: To whom are these happy changes due? Most assuredly to the Faculty and Trustees, in a Vi UtMSlib ‘.Cert’: rtf f Cv. «nrtXVixiV wi iSEih' r i general way; bat if wc arc to mention any one person whose heart, and brain have been specially active in the work, whom should we name rather than, our loved and honored President, Or. Kobket Graham Hiksdat.k, of whom since he is not present among as we feel at liberty to speak the more freely. His safe return, in restored health and. strength, to that post of duty for which ho is so emi- nently fitted, is the earnest prayer of every fr.i.eud of Hobart. With these prefatory remarks we introduce our Bono to her read- ers, asking them, in the language of � former editor, to expect nothing- and then they can not be disappointed. ECHO OF THE SIWTKCA, 9 «COLLEGE life is a drama in four acts. The “Echo” is a theater upon whose stage wo play once a year. The cur tain rises this time, for the fourth and last act, and when it falls, ?80 will have hid its last farewell. As wo gaze back through the vista of onr college days, feelings alike of joy. anrl sadness steal o’er us. AVc remember distinctly the drudgery of our Freshman and Sophomore years, and the i i otium cum- diy ” of our first entrance into upper-class life. W c had our cane- rushes, wore our heavers, buried our Calculos, published our “Echo;” and now we look around us and see how others are taking part; in the same- duties we once performed. The four successive years of a college course may fitly be com- pared to the four seasons of nature’s year. Spring brings with it t-hc newness and verdure so applicable to a Freshman. Bummer, with Us bright days and busy industry, may be likened to the jolly and hustling life of a Sophomore. Autumn, with its congenial atmosphere and plentiful harvest, to the dignity and refinement of a cultured Junior. And Winter, the hard work of the season finished, the barns filled with plenty, and a mantle of purity thrown over all, to the Senior year, with the drudgery done, the mind stored with useful learning and follies thrown aside, peace upon, its brow. We have sown our Freshman oats, cultivated our Sophomore tares, gathered our Jun- ior harvest, and are now enjoying the Senior fruits of our college labors. Fain would we linger before the scenes longer, yet time waits for no man but remorselessly urges us on to make our parting bow. The curtain is falling, the lights are burning low, and '80 bids her professional adieux to college life. 10 ECHO Of THU SRN'ECA. T editorial for the Echo! ’ and the Junior class assemble “ ( Iemu conclave to appoint some one to -write it. A nomination is made and seconded. In vain the Presi- dent waits for the name of another aspirant to the high honor. , The vote is east, the tellers make their report, and, lo! a miracle! j; The class is unanimous, with one exception, the nominee himself 1 j i We would, not for a single moment be understood as implying that | •’ the class is not always unanimous; the wonder is that the unity of jthought, purpose and. action is not manifested by each man’s voting j.’ for himself! Surely the editor e.lcot must be a man of immense intellect and |influence! If we may believe what he says a« ho rises to his feet, j t he is incapable of framing a single line. He is very greatly grieved 1 that he .must decline, so high an honor, but his loyalty toward his class imperatively demands that he resign, in favor of Mr.---------. Brave, modest, magnanimous youth! nominations are now made with rapidity and are with charming modesty as ra.pidly declined. Matters arc growing desperate; all the nantes lathe class have been proposed and withdrawn excepting one, when some individual who is destined to become a brilliant success as a crafty, treacherous, pettifogging member of the Bar, proposes that the class shall accept no more resignations; the motion is eagerly seconded, en- thusiastically carried; for the only negative vote comes in a sten- torian tone from the member whose name has not yet been proposed. Alas, his doom, is sealed! like tiger crouching for his prey, the “artful dodger ” makes a nomination; but who could suspect from the courteous tones of the nominating voice that the owner is gratifying a personal antipathy? Alas for the duplicity of class elections! And so the unfortunate victim retires to his study and sits down at his desk to write an editorial which shall ill! a page and a half of the Ectto arid, if possible, do justice to the class. But- however that may be, the apace must be filled. What can lie write? Shall he speak of the satisfaction, the dignity and gravity that come with the Junior year? Of the zeal with which the class is follow- ing out the labarinthine arguments of the “Do Corona?” Of the enthusiasm with which they delve among the treasures of the mother-tongue? Shall ho describe the awe. and reverence inspired in the timid Freab. by heating from Junior lips the “ Mnemonic Lines75 quoted and. discussed in preference to the idle, bootless chatter of less highly favored mortals? The unquenchable thirst of knowledge w'hich prompts a thorough investigation of the Nat- ural Laws as laid down by Ganot? Or, belter still, shall he assume a vivacious tone and tell of the conquests made by the Junior, gal- lant and gay, and then grow pensive as he mentions the sorrowful fact that for the Class of ’81 the course is more than half completed and the end draw's on apace? It cannot be that he write of these, for when the book comes from the press some college antiquary, well read in many preceding u Echoes, •5 will exclaim, “ The Junior editor has smoag- ed ’GO’S Sophomore editorial;” or “He has mixed ’75’s Junior cd. and ’75-s Senior effusion.” And old files will be produced and the hapless writer condemned, because, forsooth, the experience of one class is much like that- of another [ Bo the present- Junior searches in the house of his intellect for some item of class interest that is not an echo, and, finding none, heaps imprecations both loud and deep upon the mover of his election, and yows that, so far as he i.s concerned, the. Class of ’81. will have to do without its editorial.

Wc now enter upon this task with more confidence than we did a year ago? for what then were hopes are now facts, and wc speak no longer of what may be, but of what is. A surprising fluctuation has taken place in the Class of ’82 dur- ing the past year. Of the original number of the class but one half remains at Hobart. ' The rest have betaken themselves—some to schools of medicine or theology, others to business. With pain- ful regret do we recall the death of one of the most respected of our number, who, though with us for so short a time, by his noble bearing won from us our love, and whose example we- may well; imitate. To compensate in part for these losses in number, ir) place of those- who have gone five have joined ua, hfotwithstanding all the changes that have taken place, the char- acteristics of the class have been preserved, and it is with pride that wo point, among others, to the entire absence of discord of ill feeling in all class business, though before aud behind us wc sec repeated instances of faction, disagreement and the like. As to our interest in all college matters, we need only say that we are fully represented in each organization: in the college choir, in the glee club, in the base ball nine, as well as in the foot ball team', while in our own number we have a base ball nine, a double quartette, and an orchestra From our proficiency in athletic sports it may be- well to pass to our mental characteristics; and while we would not boast, yet we confidently say that not in vain have wo grappled with the intricate subject of coast surveying and naviga- tion, a practical application of which was given in a cruise last term.

We held our annual class supper a few weeks since at. the house of one of our number: and ours is the first class which has giv- en a Sophomore Exhibition for several years. In connection with this subject it is but right that some attention should, be paid to the Freshman burlesque (?), which met with such entire lack of notice at the time. It is unfortunate that the very first index the public received of 5835s mental capacity was so correct. It was their intention that the production should be a joke, and after three or more meetings for deliberation, after intense thought on. the subject and encouragement on the part of the Juniors, they evolved that “stinging’1 bit of sarcasm. The spirit in which the concoction of this gem of wit was undertaken was highly commend- able, but the product of their deliberations was “infinitely silly.’1' Wc sincerely hope that the pleasure of anticipation in which their infantile minds indulged while evolving this so-called burlesque, was sufficient to outweigh the utter disappointment which neces- sarily followed when they submitted it to a criticising public.. However, wc would add by way of consolation that, we noticed a fewr among the audience who by immense physical, exertion actu- ally managed to excite a visible smile. The class of ’83 has distinguished itself by a stupidity uncommon even in Freshmen. By a strange resemblance to that animal, they remind us forcibly of the Bou, rla which they will encounter in. thei r Junior Greek. (The Freshmen may obtain a- translation of this phrase by taking it to their guardians the Juniors, who will call in the aid of a “pony.”) The innocence of some of their num- ber in buying tickets to the Sophomore Exhibition, and i-he total want of class feeling exhibited by those who discovered the joke and afterward assisted in selling tickets to their class-mates, are conclusive proofs that ’83 hi the most remarkable class that has entered Hobart for years. But enough of this. That the coming year may prove for us as successful as the past year, and that we may always maintain our previous high standard, is the wish of THE CLASS OF EIGHTY-TWO. U H ft ; :t L? n k 14 ECHO OF THE K EOA-. ii = ffl m class of 88 has crossed the threshold of college life IP and willinglv takes this opportunity of introducing itself to the world. For the first time though with firm hand do we grasp the editorial pen to proclaim our sentiments and to relate our experience. Under most favorable auspices ha,ve we entered college, a- class large in numbers and distinguished for personal qualifications. Well may wc boast that our class is one of the largest, both in numbers and intellect, which has ever made u Old Hobart’s'5 classic walls re-echo to its footste| a. ' Our glory and reputation for attainments are universally acknowledged. Boundless ambition and determination arc carrying Eighty-Throe to that summit of its aspirations, where it will remain a noble ex- ample to all succeeding classes. Wc arc well represented both on the campus and in the recitation room. Muscle and brain are characteristic of our class, and wc hope that, when wc bid farewell, to Hobart, these characteristics may be so fully developed that the prowess and learning of 788 may not soon be forgotten. With a hearty and sincere welcome have wc been received by the upper- classmen, and even the Sophomores, contrary to established cus- tom, came forward ancl. smoked the pipe of peace. This pipe, however, was smoked in the room of a Freshman, who was bcscig- ed by a band of would-be wily Sophs., and he would undoubtedly have succumbed to the effect of the smoke, but for the timely assistance of his friends. The Freshmen, with sincere regrets, requested the chagrined and humiliated Sophs, to leave, which they did breathing vengeance on the class of 88. The time appointed for the “cane rush ” at last arrived. We rallied for the struggle and advanced to meet the band of boasting Sophomores, whose onset was gallantly received and repulsed. rs it % 1 n u With redoubled determination the Sophs, “rushed again and again s ( to the onset.” Struggle after struggle ensued.. Meanwhile the )ji cane was slowly but steadily moving toward Trinity Hal), where, | ■with a mighty effort, it was lodged in safety. “My deparment,” f- which neither cords nor bauds of steel could hold, responded to its ■ f call, and with an awful voice, as if it were the oracle of old, cried aloud •. ! “ JProeul Opromi este, -profani! ” Following the custom of its predecessors, ’88 has caused the college bell to ring out loudly on the midnight air. Twice has the dangerous feat been performed, adding still more to our fame. Time is rapidly gliding by, and we are beginning to reap some of the laurels, which we hope to wear during our college career. Upward and onward are we going, ever looking forward to the time when, as graduates, we may call ' ‘ Old. Hobart ” our Alma ' Mater, And now—in tire full enjoyment of our college life, and in anticipation of the benefits which we will have reaped, when we leave Hobart’s classic shades and launch forth into the busy scenes of active life—with Virgil may we exclaim: “ ifforsitan haec olirn meminisse juvabit.” rf i EIGHTY-THPJ3J5. r ClumJUft v.ith the ' kites: of their First Electio� .

ECHO OF TEUS SKNECA. 59 A Freshman sat. in his room one night, Helming his Latin and Greek; His bine eyes flashed with a wondrous light, And his lmir was brushed full sleek. And lie said, ‘‘At school I was head of my class; Then wbat is to hinder me now From doing the Valedictorian gas When we make our farewell how f “ If I only work hard for the first two years, Cramming for each recitation, For the rest of thdcourso I need have no fears, ’Twill bo simply a recreation.” A Sophomore sat in his room one night, Smouging a problem in Trig, And the fond expectations that once .were so bright Had ceased to make him feel big. He thought of the cloud, Analytics, all blaok With trouble for Sophomore brains, And the Greek Composition dictated by Mac To bring the poor devils sad pains. • A And he said, “ I don’t care to bo clear at tlio top, Pm beset by anob fatal mishaps; Bat I’d like, just to plenso tbo old lady and Pop, To be one of the Phi Beta Knps. A. Junior eat in his room one night, Working at Optics for Ham, And be found that the “ Junior ease” so bright Did not pan oot worth a------(cent). He had either to grab hard, day in and day out, Morning and noon and night, Or metaphorically go up the spout, And retire from this classical fight. So ho mado up his mind that he'd have a good time From then to the end of the course, For professors and study he'd not care a dime, And he’d ride to the death on a horse. A Senior walked down to the train one day- His physician advised him to rest— Thu Faculty did not advise him to stay, In fact thought he’d bettor “ go west. MORAL.
