THE ECHO, SALUTATORY. ' NOTHEIl year hus passed, one more class has left these classic walls since tine last copy of Tins Echo made its appearance,“SnH'iu'e now leading a far different life from that which they enjoyed for four happy years within the walls and under the roof of our Alma Mater. And now, at last, we are called upon to take the editorial chair and assume the responsibility of publishing the twenty-third volume of The Echo of the Seneca.

This vacancy has beon filled by Prof. Wm. C. Thayer, who we hope will in time gain the same respect and popu- larity with the students that was accorded to his predecessor. Soon after
