Chamberlain, To fke Reader. To all whom chance may cause to look Within the pages of this book, Tlie friendly word we wish' to say, We hope they’ll take in kindly way. With sages wise we don’t intend In these few pages to contend, But simply strive to show to you What students here are wont to do. So if herein you chance to find Aught incongenial to vour mind, - Make no remark unkind or mean But pass it by as though not seen. Of yore when writers gay or grave Forth to the world their fancies gave. No wood-cut ever caused a smile, Engravings too were not in style. But we poor moderns these must use Or else in vain we call the muse, And such things cost a goodly sum That from poor pockets has to come. Therefore wc beg of yon dear friend Your aid to us in this way lend ; The price is small, you’ll not say no,. When asked to buy one more Echo.. 6 Editorial. It is difficult for the present generation of students to conceive that our Annual was. not always such as it is . now; with a j ust pride.in its past, an aCtive and aggressive, present, and a. well grounded confidence in its future. It is difficult to think of it at a time when it had no past, but only a struggling present, and a future which was doubtful, almost visionary. Two fleeting years of our. College course have passed—j ears filled with deeds of. glowing heroism—when wc return to undertake the work which the previous classes have done so well. And we now. present this; the twenty-ninth volume of The; Echo of the; Seneca, for your careful consid- eration. In sending our publication forth, it is but just to sajj. that wc have labored long and earnestly; if we have failed in any particular, it is because of our inex- perience. We have attempted to give an account of the inner life.of the College. We have endeavored to make this volume commend itself by its worth to the students and to the alumni, as a book of reference, and at the same time we have attempted to add such features as we hope will make the ■ work attractive to the ■ casual observer. If in the future ;this shall cheer the spirits of some College man and aid him to look back with happy rec- ollections to..his College, course, we shall feel that our work was not altogether in vain. .

ONCE more we are called upon to address the readers of ThH Echo. Another year, bright with pleasant recollections, has passed; and soon we must leave the duties and pleasures of college life, and take our places in the outer world. The ocean of life 3s before us; some will embark as teachers, and others will take their places as professional or businessmen. Wherever we go, we shall carry with us happy memories of old Hobart, and shall re- turn from year to year with increasing pleasure. Among the pleasing remembrances of our college life, will be our familiarity with the library, and our love for the authors whose thoughts are found there. The reading habit is seldom cultivated before entering college ; and in the library an acquaintance may be formed with men ofother times, that will remain with us through life and will be found a constant source of satisfaction. Many an hour of relaxation may be snatched from grinding the dry bones of ancient lore, hours of communion with the master-spirits of modern times, whose words are an incentive to higher thought and nobler action. We trust this habit of reading will follow us, and that in the busy whirl of life, the companionship of books may not be for- gotten . Most of all, we shall carry with us many close friendships with our classmates, whom wc have learned to' kuow in the years so pleasantly spent together. As we pass through life, we shall hope to meet them often, and to exchange a hearty handshake in mem- ory of old times at Hobart. And to our instructors, who have guided us tints far in the paths of knowledge, we are indebted for habits of thought and study which we hope always to retain and to find of lasting service. Four years spent in study give opportunities for advancement greater, perhaps, than those of all other years in a man's life. If these opportunities have been improved, we shall stand ready to per- form what is required of us; otherwise, we can expect only disap- pointment. Time will show the result. Meanwhile we may best prepare for it, whatever it be, by obedience to the poet’s maxim: “ J ;t us, then he up and doing, With a heart tor any fate; Still achieving, still pursuing, Pearn to labor and to wait.” 28 I • - : . - wjce e; -—-i a i sr ?--$€ ■■ , T rfrlc 'ilir ■ f'OL -: wfr%fk, I; s%.s .

E of niiityone have half completed our course and find our- ¥Y selves trying to realize that we have reached the estate of upper-classmen. How different now our’feelings from when we entered college ! How much of work, how much of pleasure we then anticipated. The Freshman’s life of toil and trouble, the Soph’s nocturnal rounds and lordly rule, the Junior’s new found dignity, and the Senior’s air of ownership seemed, in prospect, like decades of a long life. How different the retrospect. It seems as if it were but yesterday when, shrinking fronuthe gaze of Senior and Junior, with quaking hearts and timid feet we entered the chapel, presented our tickets to the proper official, and humbly sought the lowest seats, with faces revealing the sense of our own insignificance. The memory of our “salting” is like a dream from which even its own excitement cannot arouse us. And then, too, as in a dream, come to mind the faces of our classmates who shared with us the burden of those days, but have since departed. Some were eager to take their places in the struggle of life, a few have gone toother institutions, and one has crossed the river to the land of eternal rest. Our youth was great and glorious beyond comparison. “What,” says one, “ was.’ 91 great?” Ah, ask it not. Readthestoryoftho.se early days and know that we never lost a battle. As Freshmen we won all “ scrimmages ” with ’90 and were also victorious in the cane-rush ; as,Sophs, we vanquished all who opposed, except— How can my faltering pen relate the tale: “ Three dollars apiece Will pay for the Jleece And so ’yr gets free. Such our past. Now we arc Juniors, who, having passed the childhood and youth of Freshmen and Sophomores, wear the dig- nity of upper-classmen. In the good old days our class was preeminent in athletics and there still remains some remnant of that greatness. For proof, sc-e the score-card for Field-day. In the classroom we take high standing, especially in physics. Math, is a thing of the past which lingers in our minds like the memory of a dreadful nightmare. The bondage of Greek and Fa tin will soon have its release and we shall pass to Klysian fields of Senior ease. 3i • .. l‘ . 'V. yif'-'-'.'ii . • 4 . •- Junior Class, ’91. Officers, Gbo.

ONE short year has passed awav since, we first look np the arduous duties of college life, and we are now sophomores. '92 when she entered the classic walls of Hobart did not place her feet on the portals of knowledge with trembling an rl fear, but boldly and with full knowledge of her power she asserted herself from the first. The usual warm and tender welcome, with which fresh are ever greeted, was accorded its, and this we humored for some time as it appeared to please the sophomores. Mere brute force triumphed, as is often the ease in our first hard-fought cane rush and we were vanquished by superior numbers. Such is the irony of fate. A short summer vacation was utilized in the rapid production of brawn and muscle to aid us in our conflicts with the verdant fresh. We arrived on the scene of action with pulses beating high and . noble resolves of reducing the verdant fresh of 93 to a state of semi- civilization, but alas we were swept down upon by a horde of bar- barians and were for a moment overthrown. The reader will be pre- pared to know that we lost the cane rush, but as the fresh did notknow how to carry canes after they won it, we were in some measure con- soled. College etiquette required that we should entertain the new comers to the best ofour ability, accordingly they were initiated into the joys of A. 2. '25. ’92 has proven herself a worth}' contest- ant for the honors of the cpilege both in the classical arena and in the broad field of athletics. To us have been shown the wide ranges of far sweeping oratory, and she has literally been “tossed on the bosom of the deep” iu her brave struggles for renown. She has indeed done well, therefore let her rest on the tender breast of memory and let her be held, high in the sacred esteem of her members who will all gladly shout the praises of glorious ’92. 35 Sophomore Class.

It is a goodly class, strong in num- bers, large in brain, expert in athletics. It lias the good opinion of the Faculty and is looked upon with admiration and esteem by the good people of Geneva. The Seniors and Juniors respected it from the first and the Sophomores soon learned to. tWetv km uvm is our motto and we are proud of. it. We are not like our respected friends the “Sophs” who do much yelling and little else, and when we do yell, we yell that which is at least grammatically cor- rect. They considered themselves our superiors in ball playing, but our record of thirteen to their ten shows that something is wrong with their mental organizations. It is hardly necessary for us to mention the cane rush, because it only took us two and one- half minutes to show the “Sophs” that we had concluded and were able lo.carry canes in our freshman year. There was to have been a tug of war but it failed to materialize—the reason is evi- dent: We are the first class since the. founding of Hobart to hold our first meeting iu peace and quietness. Do you think it strange, gentle reader, that the Sophomores did not come to help us in our deliberations ? We did at first, but then we concluded it must be a case of.‘‘ the burnt child dreading the fire,” and, speaking of fire reminds us of their attempt to dampen our ardor with ‘1 aqua pura,” after the meeting; knowing we were likely to have the . best of any hand to hand struggle, the}' retired to the front rooms of Trinity Hall and stood at the windows pitchers in hand ready to wet us down as we passed by. As usual they were “ too pre- vious ” and the grass was well watered,—also one or two unlucky “Sophs.” On Field Day, ’93 showed its physical prowess and skill, by.winning a third of all prizes offered. The record for standing high kick was broken, by a Freshman, and a record made in the quarter mile by another Freshman. Next Field Day we hope to record still greater achievements made by this favored class. We stand forth ready for inspection, confident that the more one sees of us the more he will be convinced that ’93 is and will continue to be a class of which old Hobart may well be proud. We stand at the entrance to the path of higher education proud of our past record short as it is, and filled with hope for the future. 39 TO KOBART. 3 AJtj Freshman Class. '95- Officers. G. W.

It has the making of a creditable piece of work ; but needs direful revision. 5- This theme passes the limit of length set, and must be con- densed so far as I have read.

A sophomore was he, bold and handsome, Working in the school of Arts ; And he wooed a gentle maiden, Wooed and'won her heart of hearts. livery evening just at twilight, To his darling, he would fly. In her arms, he oft would linger Till the midnight hour was nigh. Then, his tired frame, reposing. On his dorvny couch, he staid; When he knew his morn’s devotions Isl the chapel, should be paid. Till, at length his dream so happy, Vanished on one bitter morn ; And from soff and sweet embraces, He, by cruel Fate, was torn. And it oarue in form so pleasant, Just a letter, seeming sweet, Which he thought was from his loved one, Causing fast his heart to beat. But this cruel message met him— “Your absence marks to thirty come, Wherefore you are, ipso facto, Now returned unto your home.” Alas ! just thirty marks for absence, Two fond, loving hearts must break ; From two lives, now young and brig'htsome, All the happiness crust take. too sighs, 30 marks. 4 tearful eyes. 2 broken hearts, i long kiss.

Within the I’nrest’s sheltering'shade, ■ There lived a leaf of beauty rare. Happy l:er lot; content was she. Beloved by all; yet fancy free. A queen most wonderous fair. Her fellow leaves all plead in vain, And wooed for favor and her love. Site only rustled back a “ nay. Glancing in the sun's bright ray, Which pierced the hearts above. In gorgeous garb of red and gold, Her suitors still for favor sued, Save some faint hearted, sear and brown. Who all despairing, fluttered down, While still the others wooed. Oh, heartless leaf, she waved in glee. Their sorrows were to her but joy. She liked their woe, their gorgeous dress,. The love they could but part confess. 'Twas bliss without alloy. But through the leafy glade, there came: A gallant zephyr, false and fair, Who saw the leaf upon her throne, And longed to have her for his own, With no one else to share. -94- With sweet seductive whispers low, He tells of worlds beyond her ken. He pours his love tale in her ears ; Kissing her oft, he stills her fears, Ah, she was happy then ! She listened to his whispers sweet. She loved him, tho' she kuew not why. Her throne was his, her love, her heart. He promised they should never part; His love would never die. Horne in his arms, she flew away, heaving her wood, she with him fled, To sec the realms of sunset land, In rosy clouds and golden band. She trusted all he said. Oh foolish leaf! aloft the}' soared. She saw the clouds fly hurrying by, And then he left her—false tho’ fair, lie watched her fluttering through the air, Then gayly sped on high. Down, down she dropped, she cared not where, She saw the near approaching- wood. The gentle stream sang soft and sweet, Within the cool and dark retreat, There, where the forest stood. The falling leaf came slowly down, Beneath the waving tree tops tall. Her shadow tried to soothe her woe, And with her floated to and fro. Alas for pride: alas, her fall. , 95 Diagnosis of Class '9L Name. Nick- ■ name. Chamberlain ' Freddie Collins Warbler Gunnell Bruiser Hammond Tenuv Hills Chunck Laphani Pretty Me Goodwin Mac.

Doubtless, you have been perfectly familiar with Pope’s “Essay, on man,” time out of mind, but I venture to say that you have never as much as heard of my essay on girls before. The subject has occupied the greatest intellects that ever lit on the earth ; hence my mind is full of it. T shall use what are called in logic “ argumentum ad hom- iriem” and “argumentum ad absurdum” to establish, my points. Logic is logic, you know. The stage of existence in which we live is a great age of prog- ress. and enlightenment; an age when people are able to perceive that there is nothing more circular than a circle ; nothing squarer than a square ; and that a girl means a girl and nothing else. Webster’s Unabridged Dictionary, gives two meanings to girl; the first, is a female child, or a young woman ; the second, is a roe- buck of two years old. The second definition refers no more to Eve than to Adam ; Eve was more than two years old, lienee she was not that kind of a girl. I really da not think a roe-buck of two years old has much claim to human girlhood, except on the . hypothesis of evolution. Girls of the human, family are a boon to man. As the modern. Shakespeares have so beautifully expressed it: By Jove! Girls are weal dealt cweachers, don’t cher knaw ! What would the world be without girls? Would life be worth living? No ! and a thousand times No! It is eternally true that “ it is not good for man to live alone.” The true sphere of girls is side by side with men. It is uotonly the girl's right but itis also her destiny to go forth into the world with a manly heart. If she is won by the man after her heart, she will be his right arm, his mainstay, his “friend to. the attar.” There are girls who would be willing 97 to shrivel their “silken fingers” in suds or redden over a roast for the sake of their lovers; for the lovers’s sake those ” fairy feet ”—sometimes in number sevens—are frequently more than willing to tread the thorny paths of life, and c.case to walk on sweet Williams. The rising young man has my best wishes and con- gratulations when he attains the position to support a fair maiden as the “ light of his eye. ’ ’ T know the stars shine with more bril- liance in their course, and the glorious smile of the angels beam . more brightly upon him as he makes a bee-line for his girl, and she meets him halfway down the lane, and they kiss each other a few times and walk lovingly together to some old preacher who puts his hands on their heads, and tells them to be good and sends them away'happy as one. • “ Girls.are good creatures of divine bounty” and like other di- vine gifts they can be a great blessing or they can be a curse ; without the aid of angelic wings they can lift mortal men to the seventh heaven, or they can love to destruction. Girls arc queer things ; you can’t get along with them, and you can’t get along without them. A girl either loves or hates. Some girls are like eats in their nature and are therefore regular “spit-fires.” hove of'country, power, fame, wealth ! What are all these compared to the love of girls ? Girls have been a force which has aroused every heart in every age, among all men of every clime : it has stirred the cottage of the peasant and the palace of the king. Men of fame have.knelt at their feet; Anthony before Cleopatra, Napoleon before Josephine, Grover Cleveland before Frances. Girls have con- trolled the fate of the most renowned men in the annals of time. You may deny that two and two arc five and parallel lines will meet, but you can not deny the power of the girls whether they have been cultivated on the piano stools or in the atmosphere of the kitchen. The best “ love letters ” known in all literature are those which the girls have written to their beaus. They supply feminine ex-, pressioris which soar into majestic flights and which are intensely soul-piercing. f I presume you understand the delight of such cor- respondence, Mr. Editor, if not, I pity you from the bottom of the sole of my shoe. “For those who like that sort of thing, it is about the sort of thing they will like ;” particularly, if they are under the influence of infatuation. 9 Iu my opinion an old bachelor or an old maid lives a life of frag- mentary existence. Yet, a mail may take a girl for a rose and she may prove a thorn ; no one, however, is born without faults; “ to err is human. A male of the human race who cannot appreciate girls can hardly be placed in the category of man ; he is really nothing but a mere machine without feathers, having two legs with a soul of mud. If T were to give advice to a young man, I would tell him this : Dare to be wise and, as soon as you can, have a girl. This is not mock is !i sentimentalism. I am not given much to metaphysical skyrocketing- and what I would advise would be more than ill-digested notions. I believe that life is practical, is neither poetry nor effeminate philosophy. There is not an an- cient or a modern nation of which history furnishes an account, which did not with greater or less fervor cherish girls. It has been the case among the Egyptians, Babylonians, Persians, Chaldeans, Lydians, Armenians, Scythians, Celts, Greeks, Romans, linglish- nien and Americans. In by-gone times the world’s attitude towards the girls has been mingled with not a little contempt; that “a little learning is dan- gerous for the girls : that they are weak minded ; and that they are incapable of producing anything in literature but the softest and silliest kind of gush. On tills account, men, lords of creation,, have regarded the girls more or less as foot balls. But the mists, the clouds, the darkness which have been enveloping the human mind in the pasture rapidly dissipating before, the blazing light of the nineteenth century. Such is the advancing tide which the the mighty forces of the dark ages cannot roll back. And while I am aware that the inferior must always be inferior to the supe- rior, yet, I cannot shut my eyes to the fact that girls are begin- ning to take their place side by side with men; and it is high time ! The girl of to-day can be found in the offiices of Govern- ment at Washington as the girl clerk, or as the girl wife of the president of these United States. She may be. found in the halls of justice ; she is taking her position beside the sick and dying as a physician ; the girls are moulding the intellects and characters of the rising generatiou as teachers and professors in different seats of learning ; and side by side with their husbands they are per- forming- their sacred office at the family altar. For diplomacy intrigue, scheming, Felicitous tact and gossip, trust the girls. 99 'There are variety of girls. Some girls are curiously and won- • derfully gotten up. Some wear their hair parted in the middle and others ou the sidesome wear curls, frizes, bangs, pompa- dours, while others wear the Grecian knot, and so on “ad infin- itum.” Some of their hats are decorated with little or big fowls, some wear high heeled boots while others wear low-heeled shoes. All the girls have not same modes of dress, the. same manners, habits, figures or faces ; lior have they the same kind of lint on their cheeks, the same mellow luscious lips that pout, for kisses, the deep melting eyes, nor yet the. same amount of tender love, which often smoothes man’s.pathway of life. Yes, girls are girls because they are girls, and if thej’ were not born girls they would not be girls, consequently, girls will be girls. Ivife is not all clouds ; girls make its silver embroideries ; its radiant glimpses of heavens blue. The}' make blissful moments in the quiet interval between storm and storm, until over every one of us the night sweeps down. In handling this subject, Mr. Editor, I have granted nothing and taken nothing for granted. Tu its treatment T have bowed my head in reverence (as in presence of a mother-in-law) and I have endeavored not to loose sight of propriet}-, politeness, deli- cacy, refinement and honor. Essay cm V oys, Editor of The Echo: 1 have already given you an inkling of my views on Girls. I perceive that you concur with me, more or less, in'regard to the gentler sex.” But now you desire an information or two about Boys. Well, in case you do not know what a boy is, and to give you a clue to who the boys are, I will give Webster’s (my author- ity) definition ; it runs thusly ; “ a boy is a male child, or a lad.” Therefore when we speak of a boy iu the Queen’s own English wc mean a male child or a lad just as much as we mean a spade when we speak of a spade. The subject of ” Boys4’ is too great and important to be consid- ered as a secondary or a side issue as “Girls” has been since the day they came from the side of Adam ; I regret very much to say that I will not be able to do it justice in the time and space allowed for its discussion. The human family living to-day consists of about 1,450,000,000 individuals. Boys of every-race, clime, age, national- ity, rank and station are to be found in the great mass of human be- ings. The range is from the topmost round, the Anglo-Saxon civil1 ization, which is the highest known—down to the naked savage. Among the different people boys are seen with all their distinctive .characteristics and idiosyncrasies. We have boys brought up under varied circumstances, customs, habits, manners and laws. Some boys arc good (for nothing), while others are incessantly- sowing their wild oats. In this discourse only the few varieties of boys observed i n the United States will be mentioned. There are little boys and big boys, short boys and tali boys, military boys and sailor boys, country-boys, college boys and cow-boys. It is sometimes convenient to be small, although little boys should be seen and not heard ; boys may be big physically or met- aphysically ; they may be diminutive or immense both lengthwise and crosswise. Short boys are often called “runts ” or “ stubs;” tall boys, graceful and gawky, are as. many times looked upon as X02 liberty poles ; they are continually asked the question : “ How is the weather up there ? Depend upon it, the time will come when they can say in turn : How do you like the warm climate down there, eh ? The only answer to the last question, I fear, will be: “ Man wants hut tittle here helow, Nor wauts that littie long.” The military and sailor boys are drilled every day both bodily and fc mentally in order that they may be prepared to serve their country after they assume the “ toga virilis in our military academies throughout the land and on the training vessels upon our seas they are daily' inspired with the grand and glorious spirit of patriotism under the stars and stripes. When country-bovs are brought before our i'ninds they are apt to be associated too much with the green verdure of nature in sum- mer, Ts it time to pick turnips off the trees ? Are onions ripe yet ? Tooofteti questions like these are immediately suggested whenever we behold the young tiller of the soil clad in his over-alls. We seem to forget the long list of honored names which country-boys have placed upon the brightest pages of our nation's history ; we do not think how we speak in hushed tones of the departed heroes, who left farm aud home and fought and bled for country ; we seem oblivious to the fact that we revere the names of Abraham Lin- - - coin, James A. Garfield and Ulysses S. Grant; and that we glory- in the sacred right to bestow upon such noble characters the high- est office within the gifts of the people. 11 The man who drives the plow, or swings his axe in the forest, or with cunning fingers plies the tools of his craft, is as truly the servant of his country as the statesman in the Senate or the soldier in bailie. ” College boys ! What can be said of our college boys ? Much ; but not now. College boys are the boys who are pursuing their studies at college (my own definition, not Webster’s). When a lad first enters the precincts of a college, in most cases, he seems as fresh and as much of a green-horn as the veriest country-bov upon • whom he looks with contempt. This is especially so with city cox-combs, fops, dandies and dudes. Whether a boy is a, country or a city freshman he will be considerably toned down after hg has’ been hazed and salted ; after he has danced on the table : after he has sung his little song from the top of the ladder; after he has done liis swimming on the floor or has rowed in a basin of cold water (with tootli-picks for oars) at forty miles an hour. A few ‘ ‘rushes, ’ ‘ 103 gymnasium exercises, field days, tennis, foot-ball, and base-ball games; a few “horses,” “smouges,” “flunks,” suspensions and some mid-night oil; a few flirtations, serenades, social calls, par- ties, balls, receptions, banquets, moonlight excursions ; and then at the end of bis college career, after hard knocks and soft rubs, he will be polished enough to be a credit to himself and his 1 ‘ Aim,a Mater. A cow-boy is, to a certain extent, an animal; he is a biped and not a quadruped ; he has no horns and is not cloven-footed ; his skin does not make cow-hide although it'can be cow-hided. Cow-boys are not necessarily cowardly ; indeed they are as a rule a brave set of men. Their bravery is, perhaps born of the care- less and reckless life they lead ;. to be ever on horse‘back on the trackless prairie in pure air is in itself enough to give one a free and independent carriage and feeling. Though some of them are desperadoes and others seem rough, yet, the majority of them have true and heroic natures. A cow-boy must know not. only how to lasso but also how to manage cattle. Besides, he must be somewhat of a “ bronco-buster.” He must understand how to drive large herds ol’ cattle and face the great danger of a stampede. He always carries a revolver and a belt of cartridges to protect himself on such occasions ; sometimes he keeps a rifle. He is often a good marksman whether at a stand-still or riding at full speed. Their icats with the lariat justifies the reputation they enjoy ; and when the hor.se is on the full run they can sometimes pick a handkerchief, and even smaller articles off the ground. Not a few of the eow-boys are themselves owners of thousands of cattle ; they frequently come from good and wealthy families in the East and arc oftentimes graduates of our best colleges and uni- versities. The cattle interest in which they are employed in this countr3r is enormous. It not only supplies America but also the markets of the -world with beef. Where once the buffalo reigned supreme, the cattle herds may be seen in every direction along'the whole western range from the plains of Montana to the Texan borders. I could tell you of the boys of China, Japan, India, Africa, Russia; I. could speak of the Dutch boys, the German boys, the French boys, the . Irish boys, the Geneva boys and other abori- ginal chaps, but with a few more remarks I must close. “ per- 104 t haps more than any other class of boys in the world, the Ameri- can boys are allowed to grow up, doing about as they please. The chronicle of a single days’ doing is quite interesting. In chestnut time they are up early ; in melon time they are out late.. Heedless of the notice No Trespassing, help themselves to nuts before the owners are awake, and regale themselves oil'melons after the weary gardener has gone to his virtuous sleep. Broken boughs and a litter of empty burs tell of their depredations ; or they may be tracked by a trail of rinds to the fence corner. There they have sat together and finished their feast, as a number of scattered rinds bear witness, but beyond that they cannot be traced. It is they who pelt the school-girls with apples in autumn, and with snow balls in winter, generally from behind some wall or fence. The opinion of an experienced teacher (a lady and partial methinks,) is, that most boys have some good spot in their nature which, if touched and managed rightly, can be directed into proper channels and thereby made good men. Industrial and practical art training, which is now assuming an important place in our educational system, promises to be of the very great- est use in developing and moulding such minds. There.was never any better stuff in the world for the shaping of men than there is in the boys of America to-day. liven when wicked he is not often mean in his wickedness. With all his failings which arc many and manifest, he has courage, gaiety, endurance, readi- ness of wit and potency of will. Give direction to these fdrees, deepen his conscience and elevate his point of view, and the fu- ture of American boys, the future of America itself, is secure. . 105 I Charles Pelamater Vath The class of ’91 presents to the patrons of The Echo, in this number, a photogravure of the Librarian of the College, Charles Delamater Vail, A, M, Prof. Vail entered Hobart College as a Freshman in 1855. He had been prepared partly in the Academy of his native place, Goshen,.N. Y., and partly under a private tutor, a graduate of the University of Edinburgh. From the date of his graduation, 1859, Prof. Vail has been engaged in. the profession of teaching except for a period of a little over two years during which he read law. During Trinity term, 1869-70, lie was connected for the .first time with the College as a member of its Faculty, acting as Tutor in Algebra. In 1872, he was placed in charge of the departments of Rhetoric and Elocution, aud of the English Language and Literature.; and performed these duties till 1888. In addition, he gave throughout this period a half-year course of two. hours a week in the Science of Language using Prof. Whitney’s work, and for twelve years of the time acted as Instructor in Logic. Since 1888, his time, with a slight reservation, has been given wholly to the Library, the administration of which he had sup- ervised from 1872. His first official connection with the Library was in his Senior year in College when he prepared and published under the direction of the late Rev. Dr, Metcalf, then Librarian, the first classified catalogue of the College. To the Alumui of the College, Prof. Vail is well known by the fact of his being the Secretary of their organization. In 1876, he prepared and published for them their Semi-Centennial Catalogue. 107 £ Lyric Since for kissing thee, sweet student, My mother scolds me all the day, Let me have it quickly, darling, Give me back my kiss, I pray. If we have done aught amiss, Let’s undo it while we may ; Quickly, give me back my kiss, That she may have naught to say. Do—she makes so great a bother, Chides so sharply, looks so grave— Do, my love, to please my mother, Give me back the kiss I gave. Out upon you, thou false student! One you give, but two you take ; Give me back the one, my darling, Give it for njy mother's sake. 108 Doix’f! Word to the presKm n. Don’t stand on ceremony here at Geneva. If you wish to meet one of those intelligent? damsels, just brace up to her and inform lier that you’re from the College (of course she won’t know it, j'ou’ll have to tell her), and it will be all right. No matter whether you are the biggest bum or the dumbest lunkhead at the College, in fact, these virtuous qualities will be to your advantage, as she will then be better able to appreciate your com- pany. . Don’t sit at the same table with the commissary of the dub in which you board; get at the other end of the room, and then, when the steak is as tough as a Geneva girl and the cider, sour krout, etc., etc., have given out, you can express your sentiments without hurting his feelings. Don’t swear at the table, a bad temper causes indigestion. Don’t get uneasy when the choir sings, there are times when forbearance ceases to be a virtue, but this is not one of those occa- sions. If you have a scholarship, don’t squander the money in pur- chasing hooks and other such extravagant fancies, spend it at the Hobart College tobacco store and you will not.only benefit your- self, but greatly assist the noble and glorious cause of athletics. Never confess that you don’t know the answer to a question in recitation, always crawl out of it somehow if possible, but if you get cornered, flunk gracefully (whenyou get to be an upper class- man, you'll know how to do this), and then after recitation go up and inform the professor that you knew the answer but that it had slipped your mind for the time being. This is not deceitful, its merely diplomatic. And above all don’t fail to ask next year's editor, each day— twice a day, if possible—when This Echo is coming out. He may keep a gun and threaten to shoot the first man who thus tor- ments him, but don’t mind such insignificant things, keep at him. 109 THE LIBRARY—INTERIOR. M TCidiu Kf Conflagration Still was the night and sunk in sleep, All lay nor reeked of earthly things, Sweet dreams passed through each sleeper’s brain And brought the joy all fancy brings. ’Twas dark ;is pitch, no moon was seen. The watch dogs hushed their noisy bay ; And ’neath the Heaven’s mantle dark The peaceful village quiet lay. A sudden cry rang through the air And pierced the night with accents dire. O, horrors ! hear the bells riug out. And hark that cry of “ fire ! lire ! ” And now instead of peaceful sleep, The village swells with noisy cries : And surging crowds rush out in haste While lurid grow the northern skies. But to- the rescue, running hard The dauntless firemen bravely press To save the lives of fellow-men From fire’s dreadful wantonness. And now ’tis seen that direful flame Springs from old Hobart’s classic walls The thought of all who dwell within The bravest of all hearts appals. in The crackling flames and ruddy glare Tend to the scene a direful cast. Wild shrieks pierce through the midnight air, And sound of foot-steps Tustrying fast. . Arid students rushing out in haste With scanty clothing swiftly caught. Ami lighting hard through blinding smoke To save tlieir lives with danger fra tight. From out a window high above Suspended hangs a frightened ciiitd And no one near to help or save, No answer to his cryings wild. At length the firemen reach the spot Ariel quickly spring to lead their aid. Tire books are grasped by ready hands, The saving ladders swift iy laid. Arid one to save that crying child, Troth climb through clouds of rolling smoke. But in mid-air he quickly stops, And finds too late that all’s a joke. Tb.e lurid glare from Greek lire comes, The crackling brands a lion-fire’s food, The wailing child, a Freshman small. The students a;e in playful mood. Soon all grows still, the fire is quenched, The students, laughing, seek their beds. While those brave men who risked their lives, Swear dire vengence on their heads. Their threats prove more than empty wind For on the morrow as they rise, The students who performed the deed, Are greeted with a sad surprise. ni! A cop all gaily dressed in blue With metal buttons shining bright, Doth stand without the College door Upon their tender frames to light. The law doth summon each and all To appear before the judgment seat, And answer there to charges grave, And there with their deserts to meet. The Judge sits solemn oh his bench, Upon his brow the deepest gloom, The court with eager students swells, To hear their comrades’ awful doom.. . A hush falls o’er the assembled crowd The Judge doth speak with solemn tone, The Crime on which he sits in state, In all its horrors forth is shone. No whisper stirs the quiet air And all is still as solemn night, Until the Judge with accents dire, Doth thus make known his awful might. “ O, students who before me stand, “ Your fate now quick prepare to meet “ Nor hope not tnercy now to gain, “ Nay though you kneelM at my feet. “ And now lend ear to hear jrour doom— “Three silver dollars you must give “ Or else for three long weary days. “ Within a prison you must live. The students heave a moaning sigh, The clink of silver too is heard. But each counts out his shekels bright And pays them down with ne'er a word. 1 r3 And when they'reach the open air, Their comrades quickly round them crowd, And shake their hands with hearty warmth. And praise their deeds with voices loud. Then to the campus they repair, And soon to better spirits come Though some bemoan their unhappy fate Till they too full for words become. So thus did end this deed of glorious worth The greatest of its kind e’er seen on earth. Such honors Hobart to her heroes gave The Fire Bugs’ glorious banner proud doth wave. $ Propkecy. One evening as the moonbeams stealing With silvery light through the curtained window Seemed luring me from irksome study, I quite forgot the things around me And musing pondered o’er the future And I bethought me of my classmates Arid wondered what soon each’d be doing And where in life his part fulfilling ; Then wished I for a prophet’s vision And as my wishing grew to longing I chanced remember old Apollo And thought I perhaps e’en yet he listens ■To catch the prayers of lisping mortals And making bold I thus addressed him : “ O great Appollo, who of old, From out thy ancient mystic shrine On Mount Parnassus’ sunny slope Where murmured the Castalian stream And circling rose the intoxicating smoke, - Did’st to thy votaries reveal Far visions of the future course Aud stern decrees of fate unmask, We offspring of a later race In classic walls have heard thy name Aud learned to read in ancient tongues The wondrous records of thy fame.

In yonder church a minister, Christ's gospel truly did proclaim And loved and reverenced of all For good works had he fame And long the memory does live Of Pastor Collins’ honored name. Upon a lonely mission field Gunnell did-bravely strive To teach the heathen savages To lead a better, holier life, His labor hard, his rewards were few. And yet he won a noble prize, The high reward for duty done. In college halls Professor Hills, The mysteries of physics taught, . And 'round him gathered the students oft As rare experiments performed The tangled laws showed clearly forth And e’en the formulas made plain.

With ermine spotless and unsoiled, Judge Perkins long adorned the bench In legal love well learned was he With precedents familiar too ; Decisions gave he unexcelled ■ For legal right and justice fair. A high school in a western town Poured forth knowledge to the youth Who from the country round about, Came thirsty to this font of truth, Where Robinson the Principal, Each guided to the waters sweet.
