Hobart College - Echo of the Seneca Yearbook (Geneva, NY)

Page 32 text:

As it is wholesome that the public should know what the class of ’go has been doing- in the past year, we again take our quill to scratch upon the pages of The Echo the history of a class second to none of those preceding. We record the same old “ cliestm.it,” viz.: ’89 having received the scientific portion or three year-men of onr class we are somewhat weakened in regard to number. We reorganized the Alpha Sigma Sigma, and under a new form of initiation the majority of the members of the verdant class were received within its loving embrace. Owing to the exceeding freshness of ’91, several of their number received the secotid degree of this august ( ?) body. We are pleased to state that our men are among the first in base ball, foot ball, tennis and all the other field sports, as well as in the class-room. The Sophomore exhibition will take place as usual in February, and from the oratorical abilities displayed by us in the class room, the professor of English thinks that we will outshine all preceding classes in this respect. And now, dear friends, we do not wish to he styled “ Publican ” .when we say that we thank our lucky stars that unlike ’89 we have treated those young and tender plants, fresh from preparatory7 schools, and lacking the surveillance of their parents or guardians, with great care, pointing out to them the way they should go, and by example, teaching them not to forsake those studious habits which they have formed during their short residence within the classic halls of old Hobart. Permit us to conclude this long and tedious history with a wish that our future may be as bright as the past, and having forsaken the antagonistic propen- sities of under classmen we may receive the reward which is open to all studious Sophs., viz.: upper classmen.
