WHO OK THE SENECA. Preface. tfjc? N(JOURAGED l .v the success which has attended similar previous 4{f efforts, the class of '8« has been induced to publish the Echo of Cp THE Seneca. a hook which, while it contains in a condensed ° form nil sorts of student organizations, shall also furnish an ex- tensive course of reading for such students as are desimus of acquiring mental cultivation beyond the limit of what facilities the college cur- riculum affords. At least, the general ijnpression seems to be that such was the intention of those who originated the ECHO; but one member of the present boant of editors is of the opinion that the Echo is tin institution established for the purpose of developing whatever tendency-to insanity the editors may have. The board, however, have decided that they publish this book for these reasons: (11 Because it is sure to be lintmcially successful, and therefore each editor will receive a small fortune which will carry him through life easily; (3) Because they will attain literary fame: and Cl) Because it is only just that the scholastic ability displayed in the editorials should be allowed to reflect favorably upon the Faculty. (The gentlemen of the Faculty will please note this last mason, and also remember that every editor smokes HuvHand Hemiup s best. ) We should not forget to mention that the Junior year is the happy period of our college life, when it becomes our duty, by means of such a publication as this, to unmercifully slug all the Profs, and students, including the young ladies of the “ Annex” across the way. If the students want to know who wrote the grinds, in the words of Solomon or Sullivan let them come on and grapple with ub, we have a slugger on the board. If the young ladies across the way are curiou they will please notify us and we are willing to visit them and explain all. To prevent being annoyed by the inquiring Freshmen who have subscribed we will make a few statements in advance. The EoHo is published by the Junior class of Hobart College, but the literary work.

Any one taking twenty copies will have his name inscribed on the college records as a public benefactor. Each editor clew’s 500,39 and is exempt from any further writing of essays and orations for the rest of his course. The report that the Prof, of the Latin department proposes using the Echo as a text hook is true. Before closing wc desire to call the attention of our subscribers to the fact tliat some degree of originality is due us, If they will com- pare this Echo with former publications of the kind, they will And that the imposing figure which has headed the Senior Smoking Club for the last quarter of a century 1ms been omitted in this number. With the modest ussuranee that this book may safely be perused by the Freshmen and other children, we recommend you all to criti- cally examine the following pages. ECHO OF THE SENECA, |HE pleasant though somewhat arduous tusk of publishing the Echo 1ms at last fallen to the Class of Eighty-Six, while to us— her representatives—luis been allotted thS burden of preparation. We enter upon onr editorial duties cheerfully and fearlessly, sin- cerely hoping that our publication when completed will be fully up to the average standard of merit, and that it will in an humble way add something to the fairness of the fame of our Alma Mater, the doings of whose sixtieth year it now records. We have made many changes in both form and matter. Such organizations as have here- tofore existed only on paper we have excluded, it being our ebief aim to make our book, as far as possible, a true picture of college life; a picture which will represent to our graduates and friends the exact state of affairs as they are at Hobart to-day. The portrait of the mem- bers of the Faculty has been procured with much difficulty and we now present it for the first time. With onr issue appeal also the societies new steel engravings, which boar testimony to their pros- perous condition here at Hobart. Our readers will notice that our pages are wanting in vulgar and mean remarks concerning different gentlemen of the Faculty. We speak of this because there has been a growing tendency in the past few years to make this publication a mere satire upon that body, and if without such style of composition, -our efforts are judged to be .good, we will feel rewarded. Header, we leave the verdict with yourself. In reviewing the doings of the year ouv thoughts are naturally first turned towards athletics. Boating has never been made-very much of at Hobart, but this year it really seems as though some interest is beginning to manifest itself, particularly in ithe 'lower classes. Base Ball has always been ouv strong point, and the ECHO OK THE SENECA. Jsst year made si record which they can [joint, to with no .small degree of pride. Hobart would have a .still better showing in tlie general resuit of league games had the management strictly observed the laws of the Association in reference to outside players. The Semi-Annual Field-Days showed lack of thorough training on the part of the con- testants and were not what they ought to have been; yet even this department gives promise of bettering itself, and in tin Spring we may look for some good records. Most prominent of athletic doings is the formation of the New York State Inter-Collegiate Athletic Association. Hobart has been honored with Die presidency of this Association, tuid Geneva is to be favored by having the first meeting next May. It may be said rigid here that the idea of forming such an organization originated at Hobart, and great credit is due our General Manager of Athletics who labored for it so assiduously and so successfully. It is to be hoped, hoys, that you will do all you can towards making the first meeting in every way a success. Sometime it may be a pleasure to remember that you heljied to inaugurate the working' of an association which is bound to become historic. Several changes have taken place in the Faculty. The wide-spread influence of our new President, Dr. Potter, has already begun to make itself felt. Students from all points are even now making ax plication for admission next year; a new Library building is about to be erected; the finances of the college are established on a firm basis; her reputa- tion for sound scholarship is daily increasing and our whole outlook is most encouraging. Prof. Buttles has been elected to till the chair of Chemistry and is deservedly popular with the students. Lieut. Brant has been stationed here by the government as Prof, in Military Science and Tactics. To each of these gentlemen we extend a hearty welcome. The grinds wliich we publish are in some cases just; in other they are evidence of popularity; in both cases they are directed at the high and powerful; in neither is there any ill-will. If there is a grind on you take it in the way it is given and all will be well. 10 ECHO OF THE SENECA. To the students who have subscribed so generously wo express our thanks ami hope they will find some entertainment in the follow- ing pages. For our advert isers we wish1 prosperity and add the wish that their advertisements may prove beneficial. Classmates, wo hope yoxi are satisfied with our work. May the bond of good fellowship bind us still closer, and when we have finished our work here and have separated, may it bo a source of happiness to us all to look back to our college days.

Miten L jf(H?OUR joyful and fleeting- years, years filled with pleasures, sorrows and regrets, are rapidly fading away into the treasured past where the happy nieinories of others ever bright and fair lie buried, while they perhaps forever to be separated from each other are plunging amongst the vicissitudes of life. Into this awful abyss of cares and anxieties we too soon must go, freighted with so much hope and responsibility, to seek our “fortunes and “misfortunes;” leav- ing behind us the venerable walls of “Old Hobart” under whose massive structures from many a “tierce and whistling tempest we have been sheltered; leaving behind ns the pleasant and profitable association of our much honored Professors under whose kind protec- tion and guidance it has been our fortunate lot to have been placed; leaving behind us the fronds and patrous of the students with whom wo have many happy memories to cherish; and lastly, but still more unpleasant, separating ourselves from each other, bidding a last farewell to our companions who in moments of joy or hours of mel- ancholy have ever l cen reudy to rejoice with us or to show their sympathies in our afflictions. Such sad thoughts as these cannot help but crowd themselves in upon us while called upon to recount the last events of our college career; aud while meditating on the past record of our class we seem to hear the , 1 Echoes of old Seneca ” floating upon the still air recalling to our faint memories each thrilling adventuro, each hard fought battle and glorious victory, giving a uew and brighter lustre to the crown of laurels decking the illumined page of her history. With us as with others misfortunes have come, but still we have borne them, bravely, manfully and courageously, never forgetting or losing Bight of our standard and its motto “ Omnes occingunt operi.” On thefifeld is ECHO OK THE SENECA. of battle and before our very eyes ve have seen men, one by one, fall from our milks pierced by the unerring glance and searching shots hurled from the innermost recesses of some “massive intellect. while ever and anon fresh troops From oilier ranks march forward filling up the broken lines and shoulder to shoulder proceeding on to glorious victory. Though few we have been strong. In college customs, in “athletics , in “base ball and “field-day sports' '85 has always been found at the front, making records of which she may ever be proud. While hurriedly glancing over the annals of our Junior year and finding here and there many things placed to our credit as a class, we, however, deeply regret that while amongst so many bright achieve- ments we should be compelled to say that 85 failed to produce the “annual publication of the .Junior class. Sjxice will not permit us to enumerate the particular reasons leading to such a failure. We ourselves, however, were not alone to blame. It was found extremely difficult to shoulder the work aud responsibilities of three other classes, to whom we looked for a share of literary supjwrt which we failed to receive, in absence of which the publication of the “Echo beenmean utter impossibility, while still more the interest necessarily taken by '85 in the base bull field, doubly increased her duties and work: for it was to 85 that “Hobart looked for her success in the base ball arena, the majority of the nine being made up from her numbers. With this responsible duty resting upon us, and with many others coining at the very time when literary work und attention should have been, placed upon our “annual, we were forced to resign the most impor- tant duty of our class, the “publication of the Echo. And let us, while.profiting from ourown past negligence and exj erieiiee, earnestly entreat the other classes in their turn not to fail in producing that piece of literary work, always filled with many pleasant scenes and reminiscences ever to be cherished. And now as the wheel of time rolls on and every revolution brings us nearer the “finale’ of our college career, let us pause fora moment before the curtain which soon in its descent must forever lu ECHO OP THE SENECA. shut us out from the plea sun test scenes of life, and in tlioso beautiful lines exclaim:— ‘•Take the lessou to yourselves.

ECHO OF T1IB SENECA. , I Qp HE Junior year is a period of transition in a man's life—a period i when okl tilings are passed away but when as yet a new life has | j not been begun. We can all well remember our first introduc- tion to college, when, in our Freshman year, it seemed aland of pure delight where the sun ever shone, where no more arduous work was ] to be done than smoking cigarettes and having a good time, and where every man was a friend and brother. Tints passes. One by one our j j cherished illusions are done uway with, one by one the elayfeet of [■ oui idols crumble and they fall to the ground. This occupies, perhaps, two years; then one feels discouraged; lie 3s inclined to ask what is . true and worth having. He comes to know liimself and humbly and j f sadly to confess that he is no brilliant genius, no mighty prophet whom heaven has brought into the world; rattier, on the contrary, he . knows less than most men and is inferior to all with whom he has to do. This is the condition of the Junior year. He sees the delusion i of the past and with fear beholds the shadowy world lying so near , | j into which he must soon go. Yet after all it is not wholly with fear j j that he thinks of going and earning his own bread and Balt. College j has become wearisome to him and lie feels the restraint of its belittle j. ing influence. He longs to throw himself into the'fight, to try of what material ho is made, and do or die. •1 Eighty-Six is no exception to the rule; what other classes have felt, site feels. She does not boast of her victories, but leaves them for all men to see, without comment, for she knows well that they are equal to thoso of any other class. Nor does Eighty-Six, While possessing no mean intellectual capacity, laud herself. Her record will ho found inscribed in the honored annals of Hobart. N' ■ • i ECHO OF THE SENECA. As in the mediaeval times the would-be knight was required to pass the night beside his armor, watching, hoping and praying for what the day may bring forti� , so Eiglity-Six watches during these years until the day she shall go forti� to fight with the world, the flesh and the devil, not knowing the issue of the combat, yet with heart and soul hoping that she may break through all and at the end stand crowned and victorious.

It is utterly useless for us. after the customary routine of most class editorials, to begin by setting forth the magnanimous deeds of virtue and ability of our class. She speaks for herself.

It was. then, then, on the Kith of December, 1883, fated day, that the class of ’87 experienced its first mishap. It was in the examination of that most important subject, The Word! Booh.

We all returned in September eager for gore, exultiug in the thought of avenging the insults of ’80, by completely rubbing down the innocent Fresh. But what did we find i Not the innocent Fresh.

For us is usually the case in a hand-to-hand encounter, force, strength and violence overcame judgment and ability. But wo lost nothing but glory by this rush, for after the Freshmen Jiad won it they did not know how to carry canes. But as to the class of '87: Thus far she has been successful in her career. She lias braved the stormy billows of a stormy class room. She has mounted the loftiest barriers of our most worthy Gieek Prof, and planted Jier standard on high. And now she glides along doty by duj , the close of each finding her one nearer the goal, when we shall be cast out into the world to buffet for ourselves, and the class of '87 shall be no more, except ns a thing of the past. Then, as now, we will cherish her and our Alma Mater ns the things nearest and dearest to our hearts. 1 i 1 ■j ; • KCItO OF THE SENECA. dm d 88.

Most Freshman classes heretofore have presented to the leader a tale of early hardships and sufferings, patching up the narrative with lame excuses and ifs. Eighty-Eight proposes to do nothing of the kind, for tlu simple reason that it is altogether unnecessary. It has met with no defeats, no reverses, no grinds for which to render excuse. Its history has been one of glory in field and class room. Early in golden autumn unto Hobart � walls ’88 came. For nearly three weeks the procrastinating and cringing Soplifl. “dilly- dallied” while '88 coolly looked about her and mw; and when the contest—the cane rush—came, in a brief space of time she conquered.

Before the rush a little brush occurred 'twixt '87 and '88 on the street. ’87 would feign figure as a l.azer; hut '88 ran to the rescue and 87 showed its heels. We will not dwell on the minutiae of the cane-rush. It was wou in seven minutes by ‘88, Prominent among ’88’s braves was the pow- erful form of its Greaseian hero and poet, ■who ever and anon seut fragments of '87 gutter ward at the rate of forty wiles an hour.

In her might site inserted two electric light poles into the second story department of the Professor of United States. Nor with one night was she content. The annual bonfire—a mighty pile—was built, which brought up a fire company and the entire village police force, which by stealth actually managed to capture one man. The class feeling showed itself by promptly paying the fines of the impli- cated members. Field-Day would have been a lame affair indeed without the participation of '88 s athletes who walked off with a goodly third of all the prizes. It did not take Hobart long to realize the fact that ’88 had sturdy material for the base ball nine. In one way has ‘88 rebuked the much-to-be-regretted lethargy of some of the other classes in the Field-Day department, viz: the organ- ization of a foot ball team of its own numbcm. Nor has ’88 been behind on the water. Nearly every pleasant autumn afternoon might four of its members be seen driving a Hobart gig through Seneca’s wave. We believe that ’88, while excelling on campus and water, can also show as good a record in the class room for its first terpi as any class now in college: and it is the writer's earnest wish that the next Echo may find '88 still at the head in field, on water and in scholar- ship.

Effigies walk the earth. Bodies all soulless, or with shriveled things Which rattle in the soul’s receptacle. Hero was a man, sturdy and strong of soul, Like ancestors, who, in the former days. Laid firm foundations for our liberty. Full-orbed in intellect, of learning vast, Easily chief in legislative lmlls, Guarding the nation’s gold with jealous care In days of defalcation ne’er surpassed; Noble and knightly, in full armor clad, The post of duty was the place of death. His dust shall sleep in soil lie loved so well, His spirit lives his country still to bless; He leaves an honored and unsullied name, No breath e’er dimmed the mirror of his fame I Lewis Halsey.

Which its i erfunie still retains While its withered form remains, Mindful of its natal hour, When it blossomed in the bower. it. What is friendship? ’Tis a thought. Which when bom cun never die, But, for all eternity, Must, its features ne'er forgot Live with good or evil fraught. III. What is friendship? ’Tis a star Lighted by the hand divine, Which shall never cease to shine, From its glorious crimson car, Sending light to worlds afar. IV. Thus our love eternal glows, Like the star with deathless ray. Like the thought that lives for aye, Pure as perfume, when it flows From the lips of rarest rose. Farmer Village, N. Y. Lewis Hai sey.

We’ll see. Sept. 22,—I decided to raise the standard of my department. Therefore I moved that Greek and Latin be made optional after the Freshman year and that my work he substituted. The matter was referred to the committee on languages. Uncle proposed Jimmy for membership in the Faculty. I objected, but on second thought I changed my mind. {I’ll get Jimmy to vote for abolishing Greek and Latin.) Sept. 20.—Jimmy was introduced and initiated. Never had so much fun in all my life, except when my grandmother died. He rode around the block on the irieiele all right and did the double sommei - sault up brown, but when, he came to repeating the vowel triangle he got stuck.. If he hadn’t known Grimm’s Law lie surely would have been rejected. He is now under my care for instruction in the mark- ing system. My motion on the Greek question was lost by a vote of pine to one. I’ll get square with some of them. Oct. 20,;—It is painfully evident that Prex. is running the college. The worst of it all is that neai'ly all of my colleagues back him up. To day I offered a grammatical correction to the minutes of my math- ematical friend, the secretary of the Faculty, and even he flew off his handle. He called me a Rhomboid and said ho could prove it by triangulation that I was an obtuse prismatic parallel opiped, and he even gave it away that I had a scalene triangle in my garret. I'll fix him though. I won’t introduce him to any more of the girls, and when his name comes up for membership in our club I’ll black ball him. Nov. 24.—Business dispensed with and we all adjourned to Prex.’s house for a big time. I was called upon to respond to a toast to my department. I intended doing myself proud, but I did not feel very • well and consequently got a little mixed. An Eoho reporter who was present reported the substance of my speech as follows; ,l Gentlemen, you have done yourself honor in selecting me to speak on this ECHO OF THE SENECA. 'occasion. You------ Now, there, Mr. C---------, my class any more. If you can’t ask, arm. up, urn, -wholly old moon, give you ten marks, you may ns a veil understand right now that ray department must come to the front.. Gentlemen I thanlc yon for your kind attention and hope you will ask me again.” Dec. In.—Had the extreme pleasure of notifying several students that they were conditioned. If the Juniors don’t get up their work I’ll have them suspended. There is one Junior trying to cut me out and I'll have him sent higher than a kite. __ Jan. 12.—The matter of Logic for the Juniora came up. I stated that I wasn’t going to take it this year without extra pay, and if they thought they could get some one else as good ns myself they were mightily mistaken. (A Junior tokl rap to-day that he enjoyed my recitations more than all the rest put together.) Feb. 2.—Was absent from the meeting. Heard that they trans- acted no business. Feb. 0.—Catch me staying away from any more meetings. From the minutes I learned that two hours a week had been added to my woi’k, and no extra pay. Well, I guess I am the best man for the position. Feb. 10.—I decided that wo ought to have a new library building and informed Prex. of the fact. Feb, 23.—It is entirely duo to my careful management that we will soon have a library building. I made the motion in the meeting to-day and it was carried without a dissenting voice. (First motion I have carried tills year.) Wo decided that Jimmy should take the Logic. He ought to be a good man because he studied it with me. I proposed the plan of compulsory attendance at the military drills. After it had been dis-cussed for some time it was laid on the table. March 28.—I reported to the Faculty that I bad finished my work with the Juniors- Under my guidance they have surpassed the record of any provious class. Prexie has given me more work. The many things which have happened prove to me conclusively that Prex. is running the machine this year. ECHO OF THE SENECA.

But as the tiger hunting for liis prey, Crouching for sudden spring, doth near it lie, So near the Fresh, there stands a bloody Cop, With club in hand and fury in his eye. And see! another cop comes on the scene Raging with anger, longing for redress, For Fresh, have waked him from the little (?) nap The gods had sent his weary soul to bless. These creatures watch the antics of their prey. And see them go at last from the great fire And march around the halls with pans and horns, In Father Hubbards dressed, that scant attire. At length these limbs of law decide to seize Some Freshmen as they pass from hall to hall, And with that end in view conceal themselves I� a dark corner of the lower wall. They come; poor, poor, confiding little soUls, And as they pass the Charlies on them drop, And soon the circumambient air is filled With shrieks, They come! They come! The Cop! The Cop! The wretched being that these monsters seize They now compel with threats, to give his name, Then breathing dreadful vengeance let him go.v And treat another that they catch the same. The cops rejoicing go once more to doze Upon some favorite threshold down the street, And the poor Fresh., weeping repentant tears, To empty couches guide theij , erring feet, And dream of the to-morrow that will bring Dire retribution for their midnight deed. And so they sleep, vainly 'endeavoring The next page of their destiny to read. ECHO OF THE SENECA. At last the morrow comes, with no bright glow Of rising sun across the eastern hills, But with dull, leaden skies that seem to weep ' For the poor Freshmen's swiftly coining ills. Reluctantly they rise to meet their doom; With trembling voice their morning prayers are said. Scarce have they to their matins made an end, When to the court of Justice they are led. With fainting, trembling hearts the culprits stand Before the awful presence of the man Who holds the keys of life and death for them, And has the power to release or ban. With questions manifold this worthy plied The wretched, frightened prisoners, and compelled Each one to tell him “every thing he knew About the deeds that he'd last night beheld. From what the prisoners told, three more were drawn Within the greedy clutches of the law, And after threatening dismal prison cells, With bread and water, and a couch of straw, The justice said he’d Jet them off this time, But a small penalty they each must pay. Seven, fifty was the modest sum he named, Which paid, the would-be heroes slunk away. •That night His Honor (?) mid his aides sat 'round A board well spread with Tommy’s generous fare, And smiled to think bow their refreshment thus Was oft provided by the Freshmen’s care.

[From onr lingular (Jorrenpoixlent, | HE day was far spent and night was at hand. Jan. had rung the eleven o’clock bell, Ham. had closed up his office and retired, the ;? Freshmen had long since boon put to bed, and a death-like still- ness seemed to be cast over the whole college. Undisturbed I sat in my easy chair and scanned the curls of smoke which rose lightly from my fragrant Havana, and which seemed in their ascent to encircle some mystery of my chum’s experience or some romance of my own life. My chum had just returned from New York, and the account of his exploits had filled my soul with wonder and a longing desire to behold with my own eyes the metropolitan city. We had prolonged the conversation late into the night and my room-mate was now fast asleep. The night was cold, the steam heat had been turned off for two hours, the water pitcher was experimenting on the solidification of liquids and nothing remained for me except to go to bed. That night a sounder sleep than usual fell upon me, partly because I had smouched much Schweglev during the day and partly because I had stayed up to a late hour. Then I seemed to be in New York, I think in consequence of what we had been talking about; for it often happens that our thoughts and speeches bring about in sleep some- thing of that illusion of which Ennius writes in regard to himself and Homer. I met John Kelly, the king, who, for good reasons, was on most friendly terms with our family. He showed himself to mein Ecno OF THE SENECA. that form which was better known to me from his pictures in “ Puck ” than from my recollection of his person. As soon as I recognized him I was carried away with delight; but thereupon he said “Restrain thyself. All things come in their good season. In time will I show thee all the beauties of the city. Yet for the present lay aside thy eager curiosity, and first commit to memory tluffhings which I am about to say. The city has many evils. It is well that thou shouldst ho prepared for these, so that thou mayst be on thy guard against them. There arc confidence men and bunco-steerers in abundance. These men are as slippery as eels, and words flow from their mouths even sweeter than lionoy. Once in their power there is no hope of escape. Hadst thou not heard of them, in less than the twinkling of an eye would they have thee ‘ rpped.’ The places of temptation are many. There are gambling dens, beer gardens, pool rooms and many such places of which thou hast never heard aught in thy little native village. Were I to make mention of them all I would waste the night in words. But to live here in the city is really life. That which thou dost call life at Hobart is nothing but death. At this point I could restrain myself no longer, and I said to him “ Since this is life why do I tarry at Geneva? Why shall I not hasten to come here and at once commence my medical studies? ” “ Not so,” said he, “for until thou hast graduated there is no entrance for thee here. But I see that thou art eager to go about, so let us wander through the city. ” At these words there appeared suddenly an intense white light which caused everything to seem magnificent and won- derful. Looking up I beheld a certain lustrous and bright place, and I could not help exclaiming “Stars of such magnitude and so near the earth I’ve never beheld before.” “These which thou dost call stars,” said the king, “are,not stars. This place is Union Square and that lustrous bright circle is a circle of electric lights. ” Wallring on I was lost in thought and wonder. As soon as 1 had sufficiently recovered myself and was again able to speak, I said, “ But tell me, I beseech thee, O best and most honored friend, what are these houses on ECHO OP THE SENECA, poles and these others on wheels, and what is this rumbling noise Which fills my ears?” “The one,” replied he, “is the elevated rail- road the other is a line of street cars, The combination of the grave tones of the one with the acute tones of the other, creates with uni- formity manifold and diverse harmonies. This is the rumbling noise thou hearest.” When lie had finished “O my friend, said I, “if the path that leads to this life is open to those who work well at college, I shall toil with far more zeal now that so great a reward is held out before me. Then he began; “I see that thou dost contemplate the dry goods stores and other large buildings-----” At this point my room mate began to snore and groan most violently, but I, slightly smiling, said “ keep silence, I beg of you. Do not awake me from my pleasant dream, but let me hear the rest of his words.” He continued: “Verily, they are mighty structures, some being even four stories in height. But give me thy attention to what is of more importance. Do thou for the short remainder of thy college course employ thyself in its noblest duties. Those are the loftiest cares which are concerned •with the well-being of thy Alma Mater. If thou art inspired by these, and occupied witli them thou wilt hasten the quicker into thy future home and habitation.” He departed. The rest of my dream was all a confusion of fires, bunco steerers and graduation day, and when I awoke it was only to hear the bell ringing for morning chapel. ECHO or THE SENECA.

Ms t® Jttfte Stfms Sisraa� On a cold niglit, long and dreary, While the freshmen weak and weary Slumbered all so cosily In tlieir little trundle beds, Suddenly there came a pounding, Like the heaving billows sounding. Making the long halls resounding With the measure of their tread. Quick and rapid were the tappiugs, Interspersed with gentle rappings, And occasion’ly a murmur That the infant was in bed. Then the look of disappointment At the thought of no ahnointment Only added to the rage In each Alpha Sigma's head. One by one they quickly gather. Raging, foaming into lather, Slyly seeking for another Whom to fill with direful dread. Soon the question is propounded, By each Alpha Sigina founded,. That to some freshman on this night Their constitution must be read. All intent to solve the enigma, Lightly tripped each Alpha Sigma, Gazing ’round with listening ears, To the room of blushing Beets. Awaiting not an invitation, But seeking for a new relation, In proudly walked each Delta true, To pat the quiet freshman through. ECHO OF THE SENECA. At the first command of Delta Tan, Toward whom his brothel's gaze with awe The roll is called, and in the room Walks freshie with a face of gloom. With trembling fear and downcast eye, With now and then a sobbing sigh, He utters forth a cry of pain When called upon to give hi� name. This done, with voice of thunder roar. Delta Tau Omega takes the floor, And in words none other could command Believed poor freshie of his sand. Then turning with a quiet gesture, Each Delta took a rising posture, While every one in language plain Gave testimony of his name. In morality they praised him high, In studies thought, that if he’d try, In the foremost rank among his class He would be numbered, should he pass. Thus finding him a good candidate. The question was put to seal his fate: ‘•Are yon willing to pass the fiery ordeal And suffer the pains which you may feel With upturned eyes and trembling voice He asks permission for a choice, 'Hiat he may write unto his Pa, And also ask consent of Ma. Each Delta then was moved to grief, And weeping, sighed for his relief. Then Delta Tau gave him consent To ask the advice of his Parent. - 98 ECHO OF TIIE SENECA. Then lightly trips this noble seven, With thought, nor care, nor hope for Heaven, Hut only to increase the leaven By stirring in a little Evan, Not thinking that they’d had enough. Nor wishing to be over- augli In going through an act so tough, They cal I upon the dtiffy Duff. When ushered forth into the room, The atmosphere seemed filled with gloom; Each face assumed a solemn stare While gazing at this freshman pair. Beneath it all ’twas plain to see That mirth and jollity were free, Which soon increased to animation. When nearing the examination. When asked if they wouldi bear the test, And be examined like the rest, Replied that they would do their best, And immediately exposed the chest. One thought that, if it wereu’t too late. Before examining his pate Ho would furnish a certificate That he was sound comme a la tete. The other said “ I am no dude. And provided you will not be rude And think me quite too awf'ty lewd. I'll strip myself ’till almost nude.” The Deltas all grant him permission. But granted on the one condition That he should be without suspicion Of any barm in tbat position. ECHO OF THE SENECA. Without delay, the blooming hoy Of soft blue eyes and a look so coy. With timid step and a graceful bow Came forth and said i: I’m ready now. ’ Then Delta Tau so strong and able Placed him gently on the table. And putting him through a physical test. Pronounced him equal to the rest. • Thus giving to all entire belief, A motion was made for their relief. But to effect their severest law They cast the ballot for freshman Shaw. With eager desire and bitter bate. They rush about at a furious rate. Stamping and foaming, and tearing their hair. While making their way to this freshman’s lair. In their usually quiet sort of a way They enter, but lo! they're held at bay By this cowardly, obstinate sort of a beat, Like a Camel in gait and a Jumbo in feet. Not waiting for even a preliminary He kicks, and be cautions them all to be wary. To leave his ranch and to leave on the spot, Or they would soon know the virtue of shot. When his auger had ceased and reason returned, They told him their object and that they had learned Tliat he was an obstinate sort of a stick, And just the one whom they wanted to pick, And judging from what they had seen and heard Were forced to believe most every word, And thus after all it had come to pass Tliat he should be branded an “ A.

Would that from out the forest’s ancient oak, The baric had 3ie'er been hewn which, with white sails PufFed by the fleet-winged wind, has borne me here. Would I had never left my native land But lived content in those fresh, sunny fields Myself us fresh and living green as they. Ah me! what web of destiny they wove Those sistere three, who span and thus decreed— “ Let him g0| hence and.ns a suppliant stand Praying admittance at fail Hobart's gates.1' Bidding me brave the horrid wrath of him Who reigns supreme in thick mathematic gloom, Or, with bent nerve and sinews of hai’d steel, Try the dread Greek; or face the stolid brow, Sphynx-like and stony, of the god who knows The subtle wiles of Latin, and uuseathed To look upon the bright and godlike form Of him who teaches English and the deep Dark mysteries of Chaucer. Oh ye Gods, Como and defend me ifrom their wrath and grant That 'safe I pass the fiery ordeal through, And live to bear the glorious name of jFresh. Okoros. How many the trials How many the woes Of the maxi who would Enter the deeply mysterious Precincts of Hobart, We who have entered Have all the needful Wit and experience. We then can guide him, We can instruct him. Listen, oh listen Now while we tell thee. Thou who hast safely ECHO OF THE SENECA. Passed over the threshold Listen, oh listen We will instruct thee. Know that within the walls which near thee rise, The great Fraternity of Lambda Pi Waxes majestic like a goodly tree. To those halls bend thy steps, nor look aside; For it may he that demons, bums aud toughs, Might tempt thee to some other, for they lie Seeking to trap the Fresh to their foul dens. Oh fear them not if on the Lambda Pi Thine heart is set, for thou shalt go through all. But if the most high Fates rule otherwise, Then is thine end destruction and thy doom Hatred of men and of the bright browed gods. Cheoros. From this then what advantage will accrue? 'Choros. Thou wilt have the best society in town. Cheoros. How best and in what way shall this thing be? Choros. Nay ask not, for I must not tell thee all. Cheoros. What blessing will the gods upon us send? Choros. The reverend faculty’s leg thou mayest pull. Choeros. And what will follow from that little act? Choros. We do it thus. Listen and thou shalt hear. Iu all recitations In every lecture A wonderful interest We feign to the master, E’en though we don’t feel it Though we don’t give a darn. . What is the Greek, Or the Latin or Hebrew To minds such as ours are Calm and self-balanced ? We call on tbe teachers And borrow the books which They recommend us. We howl at their wit. And we roar at their jokes and Their lightest remarks we lOO , ECHO OF THE SENECA. Treasure as precious. We attend evening chapels Although we don’t have to And this is the way that We pull at their nether limh. Seek not, oh youth, to know ehidden store Of blessings, which like gentle dews from heaven, Fall on our virtuous heads. But lo, here comes A Lambda sister, she with thee will talk And with her playful wiles will lure thee on. Paiaia. Oh youth who from the icy frozen north Cometh, or sunny south, list to the maiden. I am a Lambda sister, nay, blush not Although I be so fair, and be not stuck. Oh callow youth, upon my goodly shape. For thrice three generations have I seen The Fresh, bud into Soph., the Sophomore grow To Juniore’ high estate, the Junior come To years of age and last a Senior he, Then fade beyond me in the misty world And leave me desolate. Oh the faith of man! With him on Main street did I walk o’ nights, For him was coy and sweet, yet spite of all Me goes and leaves me weary and alone. Wilt thou be such? Come to the Lambda Pi And be mine own. For what can he compared To our society the best in town? And what will man give for the favor sweet Of the immortal gods? This mayest thou hawe. But come and I will rush thee and display The mysteries of Geneva to thy sight. Chcobos. Thou dost amaze me, in my simpleness Methought that college was a place to work. And thus man might the immortal’s favor win. What boots it me the fair society? . I shall not dande, hut wrestle with the Greek vn ECHO OF THE SENECA. As with the giants strong Zeus fought and won. Thy ways of seeking favor I know not. Are they so simple, the almighty gods, As to he takerrby your little wiles? Are they as eats that must be stroked aright Or, if the other, growl and show their teeth ? Yet I will go with thee and see this thing. Choros. Far in the calm above the roaring world The great gods sit: and at their quiet feet, As on the sea-shore, breaks the misty foam Of human toils and woes, and in their ears Sounds, as the eternal murmur of the waves, Man’s cry for help to gods he knows not of. Yet they heed not, or, if they heed they weep At then' own helplessness to still the noise Of that great sea, and. give the waters peace. Yet still, if thou art able and our cry - Reaches thine ears—-Help, Lady, in our need. Thou, with the bosom white as snowy peak, ' Flushed by the rising dawn and with deep hair Shining and golden as Apollo’s car, Be present;, aid us now, the Lambda Pi, Thy worshipers, who at thine altars oft Have slain the quivering victim, while the blood Rosy and warm, sweet to the eyes of gods, Has trickled with slow drip upon the pave. Let us entice this youth and make him ours. But lo, he comes as one might from a feast, With joyful looks. Come let us speak to him. CH LOROS. I thank ye, Gods, for all the blessed sight Which this day is revealed to mine eyes. I thank ye, that among the chosen few, Vessels elect and precious, I may stand. CHOROS. What good thing hast thou seen that makes thee glad Chloros. Many the blessings which God gives to men. Choros. Yea truly, but what now hath touched thee most ? ECHO OF THE SENECA. Chloros. Come I will tell thee for thou mayest know. Palaia led me: and with gentle step We wandered through the city. As we went Quick gathered on each side the teeming crowd Of youths and maidens, thicker than the birds Gather o’er harvest fields. Some, pressing near, Implored with tears that I wotrKfsup or dine; And some that I would come and visit them. There seemed to be two factions in the street, The one horrid to look on, with pale faces marred By deep libations to Dionysius poured. And these with vine-leaves crowned and on their breasts Mysterious symbols placed. The other crowd With lofty looks inteut, fixed on the clouds, And eyes bleaied by the wasted midnight oil As they poured o’er the page of sages lore. I turned and asked Palaia Who are these 1 ’’ “ The first,” she said, “ is that Fraternity Who care not for the Gods, but whose whole time Is spent in bumming; these are they who fear No debts and whose conditions piled high Outnumber far tbe stars.; behold tbem not. But rather look upon this other crowd W hose nights are passed in bohning and tbeir days In pulling legs and in such other work -As brings them favor. Oh, see how they toil! Nor Summer’s heat nor Winter’s icy breath Bringeth them respite; like the busy bee, Fabled of Doctor Watts, the hours improve. Be not deceived; look not upon the first. Go thou and seek the I’ugged steep ascent Which leads to glory.” Thus she spake; and. I Was straightway joined into the goodly crowd. Who with mild jokes received me and entertained With tea and bread-and-butter; and we held High converse on the college politics, And what a show, by heaven’s grace they had, To gobble ail the offices and thus 109 ECHO OF THE SENECA. Attain to lofty honor. Will ye now Receive and make me one i' the Lambda Pi ? Choros. That we will. And right wisely dost thou choose. The Lambda Pi was founded ere the world. And all illustrious men that ever lived Have been of it, and all that ere shall live Must members be. So heaven hath decreed. ’ Outside its circle are dogs and wicked men. It is the garden of the elect, and we Rule heaven and earth and all in Hobart’s walls, And Hobart is the center of the world. Now does the face of heaven dark become, Covered with lowering clouds, for one comes near Of that foul, wanton crowd which blots the land; Crowned with the vine, and holding in one hand Pour aces and in the other a cigarette. Be thou as gentle as a cooing dove, yet in thine heart Let lie the serpent’s guile. Kleptes. Hail, thou new comer to. this classic soil, Hail, thou whose eye aud brightly glowing cheek Proclaim the Freshman, hail to Hobart's halls. Tine foul mouthed Rumor, doubtless, hath ere now Told thee of me and all my sins and deeds, Thrice blackened and thrice greater than they are. I am not wise, my wit is little worth, I do not know the way to get high marks Nor yet the key to the professor’s hearts. I am a simple man who lives right on Taking the good the Gods throw in his way. We all are nothing and we nothing know Of the deep problems of our human life. Why should we, then, take up our little time With these high matters? Rather knowing not The deeps behind and that dark way before, But feeling that a3 we, between two sleeps, Have a brief vision and a little dream, no ------------------------------------ 5----------------- ECHO OF THE SENECA. ♦ Make what we can of it. ’Tis short at best. And then, thankful that day is o’er and night is come, We lie down with a smile and go to sleep. Come for a little space apart with me For I would talk to thee and tell of all Thy duties for the four, long, coming years. Choros. What man is there amongst the soeSTof men Whether he who dwelleth on hot Libyan sands Or in the Hyperborean, fields, or East Or in the Western world who knows thee not? Once in a fatal moment’s idle sport The Gods created thee and gave thee life And thou waxed strong and grew, and from their seats „ Thrust out the ancient gods and made them serve. Oh strong one, who can tell their fear of thee? Invisible, sitting upon thine awful throne, supreme, Yet veiled, so no one e’er can see thy face. But. had a man temerity to tear Away that cloud and leave thee manifest. Then wouldst thou crumble into little dust. But none can do it though many men have tried. Hail, then, oh King, hail thou, before whose feet The world falls down and worships in deep awe. Hail, Humbug, thee, King, Master, God, we serve. In hall and cottage rises the sweet fume Of offered incense and of burning thighs. ‘ • The priest, the judge, the young man and the old Call on thee, who Art named with many names. Now, through the walls of Hobart, thy pMef seat, Let the deep clarion and the shrill-voiced trump Be sounded, telling forth our victory For this the masterpiece of all thy works Has been again victorious. Friendship, love ' Eternal of the noble Lambda Pi Once more has conquered. Oh, supremest Lord, Let all the miseries of life and death, Of cold and hunger, fire, hail and storm ECHO OV THE SENECA. Come on me ero I lose my love to thee Or cease to serve thee. Keep, oh, keep from this Angellos. Ah cursed gods and thrice accursed clay. Darken, ye heavens, that have seen this thing. Out, out, mine eyes, lest ye should ever more Behold again a deed like unto this. Ah better ’twere, deep down in Tartarus, To dwell with shades and unsubstantial ghosts Than live to see the tilings which I have seen. Choros. Angellos, Choros. Angellos. Choros. Angellos, Choros. What fearful tiling hath God given to thine eyes? Nay ask me not, I may not speak of it. Be thou persuaded; all may yet be well. How well? No God can ever help us now. The Gods are powerful to those who seek. But what to those to whom all things are lost? I fear some dreadful thing. I pray thee speak. Angellos. Occasion drew me to Geneva Hall and us I entered in. Arose a shout that smote the glittering stars. I turned and looked, and sore amazed beheld That wild disordered crowd, our enemies, Flash past like leaves falling in autumn gusts, And there amongst them, oh ye fickle Gods, Was Chloros crowned and decked with wanton robos. I called, he heeded not, I turned and asked What was the deed they did, and one replied That Chloros had come new from those foul rites Of their initiation. For the time I reeled, and when I looked the door was closed, And Chloros shut within. So ends our hopes. Oh, my companions, what of those high ones? What deeply angered deity hath wrought This vengeance on us? Is there an altar found Where on we have not sacrificed and poured The ruddy blood? Was it for this we served? Draped be the heavens with black and let earth wail At the sod chance of this most gloomy day. ECHO OF THE SENECA. Choros, Woe, woe, alas, cry out and weep, Which of the cruel ones is this? Though I have lived through many years, Through many, toilsome, weary years, Yet such as this I have not seen. Thus, from the highest pitch of joy The Gods cast men to deepest woe, Fearing, lest we should he too proud, Hating, lest we should happy he. Woe, woe, alas, cry out and weep, They hold us in then hollow hand, Do with us as they list, and wo Have naught but prayers and tears and pain. Woe, woe, alas, cry out and weep. Many the things which we with eager eyes Look for as certain-, these the Gods give not. Yet those which oft we dread or think not of These the God pours from out his flowing cup. Bo have the Fates wrought out this in esent case. Ite fen tau.-. 1 FfiBLE WITH fi MORfiL FOR THE FRESHMEN. j ! i Once upon a time , very long’ ago, there dwelt in a savage land a ! race called the Centaurs. They were a wild and barbarous nice and knew nothing of the refinements of civilization. At last some good men came amongst them and began to teach and instruct them. The i Centaurs did not receive them kindly, and so they departed, taking I with them one of the little children. This little Centaur grew up and in the process of time was sent to college. There he tried to deceive ! every one and appear like a human lioing, and he did succeed with many, yet some of the professors disbelieved in him. When lie had been in college some time an examination took place. Now since in tliis examination only perfect little boys could appear, the Centaur cast about in bis mind how he could become like tlio rest. He dis- guised himself as well as possible and went in. The professor looked at him severely and then called him and said: “You are not an ordinary boy, you are half a horse. ’ The poor Centaur meekly j acknowledged the com and was conditioned. j Moral: Never bo a Centaur. You will always get found out, and wliat is worse than that ? ' One mom a Peri at the gate of Heaven knocked and asked per- mission to enter and join her sisters. St. Peter answered the knock and asked the Peri what she wanted. That young woman immedi ately answered that she wanted a place. “Angel,” said the saint, “or arch-angel?” “Angel,” answered the Peri. St. Peter admitted her ECIIO OF THE SENECA. without inquiring anything concerning her antecedents. After the Peri lmd dwelt some months in the celestial country, it became noised abroad that she was. a Mohammedan. St,- Peter went and asked her if she was. She said; yes. “ Well, said the saint in a fine fury, “don’t you know that the angels’ seats are not any place for Mohammedans ? No. she didn't know it. The saint said: “ You know it now; got out.” Whereupon she got. Mon at.: Don't try to get into heaven if you are a Mohammedan. 11 i (RONDEAU.)
