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
