THE ECHO. prominent characteristic of theirs, and ever afterward our bark glided peacefully along, until finally we reached the safe haven where we now rest. Owing to our diminution our achievements during the past few months have not been wluifc otherwise might have been placed to our credit. Though net inclined to be haughty or aggressive, and reluctant to be provoked at insults which might have been offered through mere ignorance, we at first showed toward ’80 uncommon privileges; but when they overstepped their boundaries and insulted our class dignity by gracing their persons with canes, we deemed it a proper time to put a cheek to that sort of thing and thus avoid further trouble, but suffice it to say that no cane rush took place. We having arrived at the dignity of Sophomores and having put away “ childish ” things deemed it beneath that dignity to enter into a “rush ” with the “ infantile ” class of '86, but thought it more manly to exercise a parental care and with limitations and admonitions advised the “fresliie” how and when they should carry the “stick” and by so doing they would meet no serious opposition. Notwithstanding every misfortune which chance has thrown in our way we have obtained a record not to be despised, and while looking forward we can allot a successful and brilliant future for ’85.

THE ECHO. EDITORIAL '86. kENTLE READER! Again the illustrious Class of ’85 salutes you in humble greeting, while in (lowing figures and beautiful simitlea we refruin to indulge. Another year in her life has faded, already renewing the crown of laurel decking her brow. She looks back over a series of triumphs and defeats, the difficulties surmounted, the changes wrought in her midst during the short period since first she tread these classic lialls of ‘ ‘ Old Hobart, ” and with childish ignorance greeted with respect that being worthy of all honor and distinction, the “ Omnipotent Sophomore.” But why should we enumerate our victories and defeats? Let it suffice that she is not at the foot in the class-room, nor weakest in the gymnasium and field sports, but on the contrary she is looked upon by “ Hobart ” as a class which will sooner or Inter lead her to glorious renown. While Freshmen doubtless we were considered as blameless figures, pluced as wo were under a peculiar sort of subjection, but which, nevertheless, had the desired effect “thatis so mucti needed by not a few of our successors.” And that we possessed solid material and a ready class spirit was manifested by our continuing the college customs in spite of the inferiority of our numbers. Owing to circumstances over which we had no control that brilliant affair In the history of every class “ the class supper ” failed to bo celebrated, consequently the literary ability, the attractive feature of such an event, had no chance of being displayed; but os a worthy substitute for our supper the class was entertained by one of its members, at whose residence all having assembled our jollity soon knew no limit in anticipation of the feast before us, and after satisfying ourselves with viands such os seldom falls'to a col- lege student, music and singing enlivened the occasion until a late hour, when we were soon rolling toward “Old Hobart” filled with delight after so jolly an event and one long to be remembered by ’88. In viewing our relations with ’84, far famed as “ headlong and flighty,” nothing of excitement occurred between us after the “ combination of the three classes” up to the end of the college year.
