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.

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
