For the last time we make our annual appearance before the readers of The Kobo, and we are reminded that we must say farewell to the scenes of our ' college life at Hobart. Four years ago when we first entered its classic portals, . we looked with longing eyes toward this goal which we have reached all too soon. Now at the close of our Senior year as we take a retrospective glance we are mind- ed to liken our course to the life of the lowly caterpillar. It is at first an insignifi- cant creature, despised by all, passing its time amid verdant vegetation, fiater, after its cocoon life it breaks the chrysallis and finally emerges to view the brilliant bntter ly, admired by fill for its grace and beauty. So we, passing our time amid scenes of Freshman verdancy, afterward cloaked ourselves with the cocoon of Jun- ior dignity, and now appear the brilliant Senior with expanded wings ready to leave these scenes of our seeming captivity'and flit away ovei the broad meadow of life attracted by its variegated blossoms. Without wishing to seem conceited we cannot help thinking that the college at large will regret our departure. Entering a large class we strengthened the various college organizations. The ball nine, glee club, navy, field sports, the class-room as well as the athletic arena have felt our influence. College customs have been revived and strengthened. “We have fought a good fight, we have finished our course” and in a few short months we must enter a new and unexplored region; we must leave the scenes of our youth to go forth and battle with the stern realities of life. And now standing on the threshold that separates youth and manhood, though rejoic- ing that the period of our preparation is over, yet we drop a tear at the thought of separation from old scenes and associates. Many to whom vve are bound by ties both friendly and fraternal we shall see no more; many of us will gaze for the last time at the changing waters of the lake in the rosy sunset, and for the last time The Ivcho of the Seneca will be borne to our listening ears. Grant that the happy memories of these days may be entwined in our hearts like ivy about the sturdy oak, and when in future years our minds are wearied by the cares of business, the pleasant thoughts of our-college life,-our-Alma-Mater, and our classmates, will add new impetus to our exertions. 19 Historian.
