For in an annual more liberty is granted the Editors with respect to scalding the Faculty as well as the students, who are all ground more or less severely but with the best of feeling and without the least partiality on the part of the Editors. If any of our jokes seem old, kindly, dear reader, grant them the respect which is due antiquity. In some points at least we have tried to be original — in getting out our annual on time and in being the lirst annual which the class of Ninety-Three has ever published. Since 1S5S when the first “ Echo ” was issued there has been a gradual growth, and, though once there was an attempt to make the “ Echo” a quarterly, slowly but surely Hobart’s annual has outgrown all of its former feebleness and now we think it able to hold its own with annuals of any of our neighboring Colleges. In leaving out statistics and clubs which never existed and by introducing more literary matter and photogravures we hope to ha e established a precedent which our successors may carry to a greater degree of excellence than we have done. To those of our Alumni who have so kindly graced some of our pages with reminiscences of former days and to our friends and fellow classmates who have so generously contributed to this volume we wish to extend our sincere thanks.

All unaware we take our seats, Expect the reading to commence, When grimly smiles Professor Nash And makes the innocent emark, “ To day, young gentlemen, we will An hour examination have.” Like thunderbolt from cloudless sky. These simple words with terror fraught. Strike dumb the very bravest heart. An awful silence tills the room, Unbroken save by muffled groan ; Astounded my companions sit And realize there's no escape. With tread monotonous the Prof. Now comes and hands the papers out. With desperate clutch they re quickly grasped : We give one glance and sick at heart Uraw back. Scarceone familiar spot Admits a ray of hope. Alas — Translations called lor are torgot. Constructions asked been overlooked. The hour flies on : our brains seem dulled ; The empty sheet declines to fill. The clock strikes thrice and then again, Oh agony, the hour is gone! We scrawl our names and fold the sheets: We hand them in and wait our fate. O saddest days of grave suspense, Till back those papers come again. We see our marks and feel our doom : Conditions beam before our eyes ; We straggle to our inmost delis. And end the day in deepest gloom. Scarce in a month can we restore The peace ot mind we had before. Oh what more hard could human art Uevise to pain a student’s heart? But happy Senior that I am. I’ll have ho more an hour exam. 16 92 J)t£for£t T92. ONCE more the year has rolled around, and for the last time the Historian takes up his pen to record for the ECHO the annals of ’92. So must it always be. The last syllable of time must be recorded and, in due time, all classes must pass from the activity ot life to the stillness of history. So also is it with ’92. The Silver and Brown have been intertwined with all the colors from the green to the wine and light blue. I need not recount here all the incidents of these swiftly passed four years, or tell what ’92 has done. Her history is the history of the college for four years. In all the records of our collegiate life will be found in- scribed in an honorable place the name of ’92. We can affirm, in no spirit of boasting, that it has been the constant aim of the men of '92 to perform with fidelity and earnestness all the duties incumbent upon them in all departments of the college activity. We have been loyal to our college and have given what we had of wisdom, strength and skill to increase her strength and honor her name. And now looking down the short vista of our remaining college life, in the pres- ence of the Past and the Future, we stand uncovered. To the Past with all it contains, to its hours of joy and sorrow, work and recreation, to its failures and its triumphs we say, 44 Farewell! ” To our Alma Mater, whose history and tra- dition is the glory ol her children, as we pass from beneath her shadow, carrying her memory and her influence in our hands we repeat 44 Farewell! ” The Future, with its uncertainty and chance, its possibilities and promises we meet with a glad and hearty 44 Hail! ” We stand on the threshold of the world. 4 Yearning for the large excitement that the coming years shall yield. 4 Eager hearted as a boy when first he leaves his father’s field. 4 And at night along the dusky highway nearer and nearer drawn 4 Sees in heaven the light of London flaring like a dreary dawn : And his spirit leaps within him to be gone before him then 4 Underneath the light he looks at. in among the throngs of men : 4 Men, our brothers, men the workers ever reaping something new 4 That which they have done but earnest of the things that they shall do.

H. 20 I f'hn.t jfaforg, '93 How hard it is to realize that the third year of our sojourn under the shadow of Hobart’s classic walls is already ebbing ; and that the character of our college days has alreadv received its distinctive stamp! As we look back through the scenes of the past years and see how the vast, well nigh boundless, though somewhat shadowy and crude aspirations of the Freshmen settled down into the more distinct and tangible though still Titanic expectations of the Sophomore and these again have ripened into the mature and more rational purpose of a Junior, which if more limited than that ot the under-classman is at any rate more earnest and substantial: then we realize how much of history our class already has. But it would be in vain for the Historian of the Class of Ninety-Three to attempt to recount here the story of its experiences and its successes, nor need he undertake it for the reader is doubtless already informed and the class will not ex- pect it. AnK-ctr kul etyiu has always been their motto, but they have never been under the unfortunate necessity of placing the chief emphasis on the “ seeming ” but tn� m the start they resolved not only to “ seem ” on all occasions but actually to 4’ be” Christian men and gentlemen. How far they have succeeded or failed is a matter of individual history, but they try to aim ever at this ideal and hope to keep as a motto through life the Sokw teal clvai ot college days. The student’s life is largely one of development and expansion, and his chief difficulties perhaps arise from his ignorance of his exact qualifications or disquali- fications. In these days when science is beginning to discover that different men have different minds and require different methods of instruction to insure the best results it behooves the student to beware of attempting to stretch himself too closely to the Procrustean bed of a lime-honored curriculum and on the other hand not to give too free play to his mental proclivities lest he fail to gain that discipline and power of continued attention necessary to successful work in after life. These difficulties and many others are first realized by the Junior, and it is doubtless well that they do not intrude themselves upon the already well filled brain of a Freshman. o I HISTORIAN. jfuntor CVass. 91- «Dfftccrs.

The great energies of the Class ot '04 have never been expended in display, but neither have they been wasted. Looking back on the months that are past, we teel that we may boast of what we have done with quite as good grace as any class that ever knew and loved Old Hobart. We came here in September, 1.890, green to be sure, as all Freshmen must be, but full of pluck. Soon we learned college wavs, our greenness disappeared, and we had not been here long before the upper classmen learned to respect us and even the trumpet-tongue of 93 grew gentler in our presence. The history of our struggles with tiiat class is a tale ot heroic resolution pushing forward in the face of the greatest odds to final success. Outnumbered more than three to two in the rush we held the cane for six min- utes. Finally, in the salt rush of June, 1891, the class of ’04 achieved over the class of 'o3 a noteworthy victory. W ith that record we leave them. Wre entered our Sophomore year few n number yet still determined to keep our reputation untarnished. True, we yielded sometimes to mere animal strength in which we could not hope to be a match tor the horde of barbarians that came against us. The Freshmen, however, in spite of their numbers looked with dread upon the class of ’94. This they showed unmistakably when they fled, one night. n hearing rumors of our approach, gathered together in one room and barricaded the door, nor dared to emerge until one of the faculty came to their rescue. In the cane rush, we were outnumbered nearly two to one and yet against these tremendous odds we struggled for six minutes. With all these facts t«� speak for us, in spite of adverse circumstances, we mav justly leel proud of our first years in College. Historian. op omore CCaee. 94- (Dfficcre, C. M. Service, H. I..

A FEW short months have passed avvav since was born among the classes ot k Old Hobart, and we are asked to give a record of those months. The task of the Historian is an agreeable one; he has nothing hut victory to record. But in endeavoring to write the history of a class like 95, whose achievements are manifold, the Historian finds himself confronted by two diffi- culties, viz.; the danger of saving too little and the danger of saying too much. nd yet, a strict sense of justice would demand that all be said, which truly can be. Ninety-five enters a class, perhaps the largest in recent years, and one of excellent material and promise. The first dread obstacle of college-life [exam.] being safely passed, we had settled down to stern realities, wondering when to expect the accustomed visit ot the Sophs. To be sure, we had not long to wait: for the eve of September sev- enteenth had been fixed upon as a suitable time for visiting. Rut the visit was made in such a hostile manner, being attended with clubs and axes, that it was resented on the part of '95, and we had the pleasure of selling to the Sophs, an old pine door where they might use their dubs and axes in Imitation of the bat- tering ram of Roman days. According to custom, notices of our first class meeting were duly posted: and, except lor the fact that the notices themselves, were variously disfigured by the sportive pencil of the Soph., we were in no way molested in our business; the Sophs, thinking, and rightly too. that we were quite capable of managing our own affairs. The object to which attention was next directed, was the cane rush : in which, for the first time. Freshman and Soph, met on common ground. The Sophs., stung bv former defeats, were desperate ; the Freshs, were equally determined. You all know the result; signal to us in its way, as was Waterloo to the English. Following closely, the B. R. game marks another triumph ; and the 100-vd. dash which closed the series of events, entitling us to representation upon [not in] the College Cup. another. In field-day sports, 9; acquitted herself creditably : capturing several first and second prizes, and breaking two college records. Certain!) a good beginning. Minor victories might be enumerated but a feeling of charity for our less fav- ored associates forbids. The Historian bespeaks lor his class continued prosperity in all things, and for them desires to thank the Faculty and Upper Classmen lor the friendly in- terest manifested in their behalf.

The true university of our time is a collection of books.”—Coi y r. “ The great consulting room ot a wise man is a library.”— )meson. Books are the windows through which the soul looks out.”—ticecJia . Gratefully sensible of the aid and comfort afforded by the College Library to the Hobart undergraduate, the class of ’ ji consecrates to it a page of its ECHO. From the foundation of the college to the present time, the students as a body have not been unmindful of the value of books as an educational instrumentality. Tlie history of the first fifty years of the college (1822-72) furnishes special evi- dence of the truth of this assertion. During that long period it was not the col- lege library, but the libraries of the literary societies that came home to the busi- ness and bosoms ot the students; lor these libraries collected by the students themselves surpassed the college library both in the number and serviceableness of their books. The first of the literary societies to be formed was the Engloss- ian. It was organized August 4- 1821, when as yet Geneva [Hobart] College was Geneva Academy ; and the first object that seems to have engaged its atten- tion was the formation ot a library by and for its members. In 1830, May if), a second literary society was organized under the name of Alpha Phi Delta, the ini- tial letters of their motto Ai'0p« 7roi' frpr v Siu7rpdrrei. In 183; a catalogue of the college library and the society libraries was printed. The college library showed eight hundred and ninety-four volumes; the society libraries two thousand one hundred and thirty-one volumes, the largest of the libraries being that ol the Hnglossian Society. About 1840 a religious society, the Theopaideian, was organ- ized among the students. In furtherance of its objects, it collected a small library, rhe few volumes that remain of this library bear the book-plate: Religious Li- brary, Geneva College. In 1843. April 12, the two literary societies, the Eu- glossian and the Alpha Phi Delta, united their fortunes and their libraries and assumed the name, Hermean. In 183«;, September 10, a new literary society was formed, the Philopeuthian. One of its first acts was to raise five hundred dollars by subscription, and in a comparatively short time it had at the service of its members a valuable library of several hundred volumes. In i8;c), the year after the ECHO of THE Seneca first took form, a recension of the college library showed four thousand nine hundred and forty-one volumes besides pamphlets. No recension of the society libraries was madeat this time but the number of volumes of the two was something over six thousand. A few years later the interest in the literary societies began to wane and in 1872, the societies themselves died, and by common consent their libraries became a part of the College library. The con- solidation ot the various libraries proved a general benefit. A recension made soon alter the consolidation showed a total of eleven thousand eight hundred and fifty volumes exclusive of pamphlets. Between 1872 and 18S5—a year remarka- ble in the history of the library — the increase in the number of volumes was four thousand. In June, iSSq. through the generous liberality of friends and in particular of Mrs. Julia Douglas Merritt, the corner stone of the present delight- ful home of the library was laid, and by July of the following year, the new building was ready for use. Meanwhile in November, 188;, a lire destroyed the building in which the library was then housed and did great damage to the books. What seemed at first a calamity, proved in the end a blessing. The interest which had already been created among the friends of the college by the gift of funds for a new building, was intensified and extended, and to-day the College rejoices in the possession of a library of over twenty-five thousand volumes for the most part well selected and admirably adapted to aid the work of the Profes- sors in their several departments. In passing, it is but just to pay a tribute to the wise and persistent labors of President Potter in bringing about this happy result. Quite as gratifying as the growth of the library is the steadily increasing use made of it by both students and faculty. The library exists not for show or tor ornament but for use. The daily life of the college centers more and more in it. and fresh confirmation is afforded of the truth of the apt words of Carlyle and Dawson and Beecher which introduce this brief historical sketch of our college library. The first home of the college library was the north-east room in the second story of Geneva Hall. Its second home, beginning with the year 1842- , was the south-east room in the second story of the recent Middle Building. Its third and present home is the substantial fire-proof building, especially provided for it. into which it was moved in July. 1886, as before stated. 3°?n 6 The Rev. R. R. CONVERSE, S.T.D., A. C.

Editors of the'' Echo: '' The request that I contribute a leaf trom my recollections of Hobart under- graduate life, reminds me that it was after nearly two years in Brown, followed first by a tutoring, and then an army experience, that I came to Hobart. This was largely through the efforts of a then Hobart Senior, now Bishop of Montana. It would hardly seem possible that so many years have sped by since the hack set me down before Geneva Hall, one beautiful May morning in ’65, were it not for the many and great changes Hobart has since witnessed. Among them I recall that the 14 Middle Building” has disappeared, together with its recitation rooms curiously frescoed, and with their movable benches of cunningly carved work by student device. In the rear basement were the head- quarters of the Philopeuthian and Hermean literary societies, each with a library fairly well stocked, and supplementing the larger College library upstairs. The present beautiful library building with its largely increased literary store had not then been thought of. The ground on which it stands was sacred to base ball. The observatory, recitation building and gymnasium have likewise come since my day. St. John’s Chapel was built in ’64, and the two daily services held in it were not considered burdensome by most of us, alter the experience of the homlier fane which stood a little to the north of Geneva Hall. One of the chief adornments of the old chapel was the President’s Chair, which also figured then, as now, on the Commencement stage. Men:ion of this venerable chair reminds me too, that, dear, kindly, scholarly and cultured Dr, Jackson, who was then President, and every member of the Faculty under him, has since gone. Prof. Bates, modest but skillful mathema- tician, is at present a prominent officer in the U, S. Patent Office; Prof. Wheeler, who read, thought, spoke and acted in Greek, is now in Yale; Dr. Wilson, the student’s Incarnation of Logic and Moral Science, went first to Cornell, whence he has retired with emeritus honor; Prof. Russell, our Master in Elocution and Rhe- toric, now tills a more prominent position in the General Theological Seminary. Prof. Neeley, also Hobart’s first foundationed chaplain, i believe, is now Bishop 4 of Maine: President Jackson, Ur. Metcalf, tor many years Hobart’s Latin Pro- fessor, Ur. Towler, our sturdy, retiring Quadrigarius ot Applied Mathematics, Modern Languages, Anatomy and Physiology, and Chemistry, all three are now- in Paradise. Luxpapelua tura cis ! To the graduate of their day the shades of Hobart will ever be hallowed by their memory. He recalls how Ur. Jackson's commanding figure soon came to be associated in the mind of the reassured Freshman with a patient kindliness not less ingenius than genuine, detecting “the elements of a scholar” in the dullest student, and of every Hobart undergraduate. “ To praise his virtues much inclined, And to his faults a little blind.” The dignity of his presence on the commencement stage is, I venture, one ot the unforgetable things to all who were graduated under him, one of whom lately remarked to me that to witness Ur. Jackson confer a degree was In itself a liberal education. And may I here breathe a sigh tor the return of the good old times when the rhetorical exercises of anniversary occasions and of Commencement week were held down town, where they were frequented by crowds of interested and en- thusiastic spectators, and when, on Commencement Uay, the procession of Bishops, Trustees, Faculty, Alumni, and graduates marched with a band � t music from Chapel to Hall, one was reminded more of a well drilled regiment and less of a forlorn, straggling company. Uear I Jr. Metcalf ! saturated with the classics, undeviating in dut . drier than the driest student, and sharper than the sharpest whose inexperience might cause him to adventure jest at his expense : fearless and relentless apparition in student escapades! but, withal, honored for his integrity and gratefully loved as the “ Student’s Friend.” And Ur. Towler, soldier, inventer, scientist, mathematician, linguist, author! His memory breathes of the romance of scholarship and adventure. He had in an eminent degree the qualities that attract young men. In the very sternness of his martial air looked a genial, hearty, sympathetic nature. But pardon me, if by expressing a natural admiration of my departed teach- ers, I seem to have cast any disparagement upon Hobart’s present admirable Fa- culty. I was but musing, as in future years it may be your lot to muse, upon the memory of those whose high vocation has been to interpret to us the knowledge that gives life its fullest richness and meaning. Deeply as I am attached to that little part of Hobart’s past that is covered by my personal experience, I rejoice at the many evidences of her present advancement, as an honored centre of Chris- tian learning and culture. Russell a. Oun,’ g . fiditor of the n Echo of the Seneca : . The life of a student at Hobart from 18 3 to 1857 was tolerable, though “ modern conveniences” were unknown to the buildings. Wood was generally burned in stoves of antiquated patterns, rigged with pipes that seldom fitted. The furniture had generally passed down from generation to generation through the hands of the janitor. Some rooms were handsomely fitted up at the begin- ning of the course but they soon became “ comfortable,” through the “ industry ” of the older men. Light was furnished by lamps in which was burned a vers explosive composition called “ Camphene,” or u Burning Fluid.” The chapel bell aroused the sleepers in the morning at the uncivilized hour of half past five, or in winter, at six o’clock. After disturbing our rest it was still for twenty minutes or so, and then tolled for five minutes when the chapel door was shut. Few men were not expeditious enough to make a “toilet” during those five minutes sufficient for all the devotion they felt. It is a wonder that we managed to survive the exposure of cold rooms, cold halls and cold chapel, to which we ran in slippers, often through snow-banks a hundred feel deep? (On reflection you may discount ten inches of that snow, Mr. Editor. 1 We then cut down town to breakfast and were back to recitation by eight o'clock. I'he Faculty was a very able one, and all the members were conscientious in the discharge of their duties. I owe them a debt of gratitude which I can never discharge ; nor do I wish to discharge it: it is a kind of debt that it does one good to owe! The course of study, now that I am able to value it understaudingly, was superior for the time. It had some weak spots in it, but not many. Athletics were pursued irregularly. “ Wicket” was the piece de resistance and the Freshmen were detailed to “chaw.” We tried “Cricket,” bu: pro- nounced ii “slow.” Base ball was then in embryo. Rowing, sailing, and skat- ing were pursued to a fair extent. A few students were inclined to dissipation, but not many at a time, as the soon developed a tendency to disappear from College — the never could tell how ! Some few of them struggled through to their degree, but on the whole they were not in the best repute, and formed a circle of their own. Mischief was done at times— the same idiotic performances as now excite the admiration of students in “ Fresh Water Colleges,” and always make sober middle-aged men question the truth of the “ fundamental moral principle” ol “ Personal Identity.” J. W. SMITH. 86 6e Coffege in 1846. It was then Geneva College, though it became “ Hobart Free College,” soon afterwards. I well remember my first sight of it as I went up to offer myself to be examined for admission to the Sophomore class, in one ol the recitation rooms in the old Middle Building, every window and seat in which comes back to memory. I was tor some two hours tested quite closely on my Latin and «reek. Strange it is, that though the scene has not recurred to me for 40 years, I can remember so distinctly the very passages on ..irv and Homer, and the very words and phrases on which I stumbled, and the way on which the examiner, kind old Prof. Prentiss, and the tutor, Mr. Dibble, tried to reassure me, as I be- came a little nervous. The next day I took my seat in class: and as there were no O's,— N and P came together, and for three years my closest neighbor and nearest friend was Henry A. Neelv, now Bishop of Maine. It was a very quiet college life, with no incidents worth publishing now on record. Students were tew. There were no ball or boat clubs, no College papers, no Inter-collegiate meeting or communications, no serious disturbances. Neither was there any very great enthusiasm on study, nor much to invite enthusiasm. The course of study was very simple and old-fashioned. I am not sure that this made it less helpful than the modern ways. Indeed, I think that the thorough mastering of a few hooks is in the end much more helpful than the dipping into many. My chief re- membrances are not ol incidents, but of persons. My classmates, loved then and loved still, Neely, now Bishop ; and Chas. W. Hayes, dear to both of us. now pastor ol Westfield and Secretary of I he Convention of Western New York. And ! the classes above, the leading scholar of our college days, now the Rev. los- eph M. Clarke. He little thought and perhaps does not yet know how the example of his earnest and accurate scholarship stimulated and strengthened myself and others. I heseare chief among the things I am glad to remember: and with these the helpful influence of the Professors ; chief among them President Hale, and Rev. Dr. Wm. D. Wilson, afterward of Cornell University, to whom I owe es- pecially the forming of mv theological life. There were very few things which I wish to forget. It was a very quiet life, uniform, uneventful: but as I look back I am very thankful for it. William Paret. Your request that I should contribute some word of reminiscence oi college days to the ECHO recalls very happy experiences. I entered Hobart (then Ge- neva) College, as a Sophomore, in the autumn of 1846. The Faculty ol the Col- lege at that time consisted of BENJAMIN Hale, President. HORACE WEBSTER, Prof. Mathematics. David PRENTISS, Prof. Ancient Languages. THEODORE IRVING. Prof. Modern Languages and English Literature. E. c. Marshall, Tutor. L. D. DIBBLE, Tutor. A small but efficient corps, fhe number of students could hardly have been more than fifty. My own class numbered at graduation but ten, yet furnished two Bishops to the Church, the present Bishop of Maryland being its leader. The College buildings were Geneva Hall, Trinity Hall, and the “Middle Build- ing,” occupied before my day by the Medical College, but then used, the theatre fur chapel, and oratorical exercises, and the upper story lor recitation rooms. Sub- sequently, when a little modern building standing on the site of the present chapel had been fitted up as a chapel, some of us were moved to convert the thea- tre into a gymnasium. The only buildings owned by the Colleges as residences was the President's house, now known, I believe, as the Hale house,” and that one now occupied by Prof. Smith. The students were domiciled in the college buildings, but no student had more than one room for all purposes, and that room was supplied with no “ modern conveniences.” Even carpets and curtains were a rarity. Chapel at 5.30 A. M., followed by recitation before breakfast! Think of that, ye pampered great-grandchildren of Hobart. Yet I question whether you, in the midst of all your luxurious surroundings, find you college life more joyful than was ours in its Spartan simplicity. Graduating in 1849, I returned to the College as a tutor in the autumn of 1850. I continued to act as such until my ordination, Dec., 18,2. It was during that period that the Alma Mater assumed her new name “ Hobart.” Once again I was recalled to her service, when upon the completion of the new chapel, 1862, the Trustees honored me by their election as the first Chaplain of the College. I much regret that your limited space and my limited time forbid me to otter more than these mere jottings, HENRY A. NEELY. QtfpfSa t$ma tcpna. I he night was dark, and chill and drear, A wretched Freshman, pale with fear, And trembling bids his kind appear And hold the fort with him.

Ten timid Freshmen, pale and scared, Assemble in one room, prepared To keep at bay the Sophs,, revered, With lock and bolt and bar. What fearful scenes their young minds frame Of grinning skull with eyes aflame And cruel deeds of world wide fame Which are the Sophomore’s joy. Each Freshman has a creeping dread That owls and bats, upon his head. Will perch and tell him ot the dead, iJown in their mouldy caves.

I'was in 'eighty-eight, on Halloween. Now scarce a man in College is seen. Who recalls that eventful day and year. Twas Rreezer who said, “If Mac’s gray horse Is safe in the old red ham to-night. Call up the gang with a veil that is hoarse, And place in your window a signal light; One it the house o'er the way he lit; Two if dark: and then, if you’ve grit, Seek the comer above with Chippy and Cy, 91 And quick as you see us come in sight, Be ready to mount and with us flv.” Then he said 41 now mind,” and with a grin. That tokened the frame of mind lie was in. He stole down the terrace and through the gloom Until he had reached old S—d—r's room. The new moon was sinking behind the hill And all through the College ’twas wondrous still. The buildings towered through the midnight gloom As dark and silent as any tomb. Their inmates were stalking about the street Like imps of darkness with flying teet. Meanwhile the friend with an anxious step Paced the pavement before the Hall And watched the glow on the window pane From a light within that fails to wane. At last it flickers and disappears. Rut in its place there comes new fears. Tis 44 Durf.” he hears, with light toot tall Seeking his bower in the neighboring Hall, This terror of Freshmen and midnight hums The sweets of slumber will soon enthrall. The watchman listens until he hears No sound above. On the street there comes From far away the measured tread Of belated husband whose only tears Are cherishing words by a loved one said. No sound than this the darkness brings Save the clock that hourly its message rings, And turning, he soon from the place has fled. Swift through the shadows of stairway and hall He hastens to gain a window high. Whence, tar below and across the street He saw the house where in slumbers sweet Little Mac was dreaming of Attic wit. No gleam was seen Irom gas turned low; No midnight oil the darkness lit. The coast was clear, it was time to go. Quick hands have run the blackboard out And thrown the trappings upon the steed. 1 fhen stand they waiting, the two, to speed Upon their way; no signal appears To warn of danger, or banish fears. The midnight riders ill brook delay And grow impatient at wasted time As the moments 11 v which end the day, Ere another with Phirhus the east shall climb. Now S—d—rs is patting the fiery grew Declaring to “Breezer” he sees the light: Tis only a star in the heavens bright; They both speak soft as the wind sweeps by. Arid darkness alone hears what they say. Then swift and lar there flashes a ra From the window that looks the campus o’er And scarce has it pierced the chilly air When a second is seen to flicker and Hare. Then, growing steady, their yellow beams Mark a path of diamonds for fairy play. Where the light on crystal dewdrop gleams. Now rattles the buck board over the stones I hat lie in the way of the speeding rig. S—d—rs and Breezer have leaped to the seat And Pegasus spurred with a six foot twig, Is living along like an equine ghost, At a pace that strikes in the graveled street A shower of sparks from the iron-shod feet. That was the start. Yet Chippy and Cy At the corner waited, and each one heard The other whisper under his breath A shady petition and lervent word. For the moments were living swiftly bv. A rattle is heard and the “gang” they greet. As quickly behind they find a seat, 93 uJ down the hill, although 'tis steep.

And spake of training and careful feed, I he beast bore “Bree er” upon its back. Twelve and a halt by the College clock. And the first quarter-mile goes Hying by lake an ebon ghost in the midnight gloom.

Away o’er the level course she scours, And Rreezer is heard to loudly snide, Now the steed is warming to her work And :he clattering hoof-beats loudly sound As they fall with force on the frozen ground. The three-quarter reached at half past one. And still they are speeding on their way. Breezer belabors the foaming grey, For he sees that race must soon be done. And means that a record for once at least Shall be made by Hobart man — anc beast. So true to his choice in time of need He choses a horse as fittest steed. Now two is borne from the distant clock And die wire is still some feet away While covered with foam from head to hock The grey holds speed like a living bolt; Like the winning heat of a blue-grass colt, Or Gilpin’s mount through Cheapside Way. The mile was finished in just two-ten As the courser flashed beneath the wire. Nor were they anxious to try it again With a nag possessed of such speed and lire. You -enow the rest. Of course you have heard How the gang camt home, ere the early bird, That lingered alter his mates were gone. Had lifted his voice at early dawn : How the grey was found by Jan next morn With reeking coat and harness torn. The buckboard hid in the dark spruce grove. And Little Mac whispering words of—love. Lo, through the night speed Lady Grey, And so, when Jan heard the poor beast wheeze Like an autumn wind in the leatless tree, Matters were found to stand next day As a voice that was cutting and fuli of wrath Swore vengeance should follow the miscreants’ path. And ever the annals of Hobart shall tell 95 Of the night that Bree .er rode so well. And still Little Mac at just two-ten.

I wonder where the boys have gone, And what they’re doing, who with me did lead Such happy lives in good old Ninety-Three! Now there was Sian who said that he a rich Old merchant fain would be; whilst. ay and John Were chums who thought they’d enter in the fold Of Christ’s fair ministry ; and A'tss and Junk Too, wished to spread the gospel’s message through The heathen lands.

Full twenty-three we numbered then. Do they still live? All would I see again !” Thus mused the cleric in his study dim, As from his hand a Hobart Herald fell; And long in reverie he sat, and called Back from the storehouse of his mind, events Which happened long ago, when he a youth With aspirations high, drank at the fount Of Knowledge and of Pleasure, that which made Of him a wiser and a better man. «- -K- 98 No sooner said than done. Straightway he wrote l o all who had his former classmates been. And asked that tidings of themselves they'd send For his perusal and his pleasure too. The answers came, and as the priest did read Them all, he thought the world might like to know What these brave men eventually became: And so lie jutted down lor curious eyes. Short sketches of his classmates after-lives. The first reply which came was that of Brown' That sage and serious scholar, who with gait And mien of student of deep things, had paced Geneva's brick-laid walks and seemed nor less Than Bishop he would be. Ye Gods! what change! Old Niblo’s Garden ” was the heading of Mis all too brief a note, which ran like this: Mv dear old chap, your letter has just come Into my hands. I’m deuced busy now Learning my part, will write you later on.” Learning his part!” “What does he mean?” In vain The priest did exercise his mind, until By chance one dav a New York p iper lie Picked up, and in the theatre’s space did read As follows: “ The gay and witty sallies of . Brown shew that his head was right when lie Took up low comedy , for that’s his forte.” Astonishment at this gave way to grief Profound, when, looking o’er the sheet, his glance On certain lines did rest; and then he said As one in reverie, “Ol all sad tilings. This is the saddest that I ever knew : To think that Hal a sporting man should be. And raise luiil-pups to tight in country barns! That boy who used to shame us all by his Attendance on the Friday evening prayers. Ah me, how little do we know about Our fellow men ; e’en in the social world 1‘lie law of vice inui seems to hold.” The tolling bell proclaimed from steeple near, 99 The hour lor evening prayers was nigh at hand : The Cleric, cap and gown assumed, and then Ilis study left by cloistered way. Just as The chape! door he reached, a man arrayed In solemn black, him did accost, and said, Don’t you remember me?” The cleric down The vistas of the past his mind did send. Then suddenly cried out, “Why ViU% old man! I did not know you ever thought a priest To be : did you receive my note ? Come in To prayers, then sup and spend the night with me.’ I will await you here, in creeds we don’t Agree, but though my faith denies to pray. To sup with you it says not nay, so friend I’ll wait you here.” Far, far into that night, Those two did talk, and I'ill told how he had A convert to the Church ot Rome become, And at Oaks Corners now did rule a Hock. The cleric learned of John that he a ball Fiend bad become, and by his wondrous curves. Not only turned the baiter’s heads away. Rut caused the girls to lose their heads and hearts. And many a shekel for himself had earned. The next reply which came was that ol id's. When student he had been he dreamed and longed To see after his name those mystic words, M. D., alas! the irony of late Had placed him in an undertaker’s life; And grimly joked he In his readv way, (Which really had a sad funereal tone) The valet of the shadow of grim death Am I, and plant with pitv those who try When ill, a proud physician’s learned skill. It when you want a box you’ll write to me I’ll forward one prepaid, or C. O. D.” I’he bare idea of planting sent a chill Of horror down the cleric’s spine, and turned He quickly to pick up a boldly scrawled Epistle bearing marks of travel hard. loo “Dear friend,” it read, “I’m premier to his much Bedaubed majesty, Timbuctno’s king: I build his bridges, spend his gold, and wealth Into my purse flows last; yet for my land I yearn and pine nor will I stay in this Hot dime, if Uncle Sam will let me come Back to my native heath again. You know, I once some horses from my friends did take : They said I stole, but that’s not true: of cash Bereft I was and thought by selling horse Flesh I might raise the tin : I raised a row’ Instead, and had to dust: Here came I and Unless you can me help from this hot place, Your dear friend Hill you ne’er will see until You get to Heaven.” Filled with concern for Hill The cleric lost all track of time, and might Have wandered on for hours in thought, had not A knock upon the door his mind recalled To daily life. A messenger of fast Express a bulky box had let t, and gone Upon his way. The box soon opened was. And there displayed to view were bottles twelve. All tilled with nectar from the German king. Our good Mambrinus: while on top there lay A card inscribed thus: 1V Old man this is Chicago’s famous beer made by myself; If good you find it, write and tell me so.” And when he read the name, a shout he gave. Which might have stirred the very dead, while tones Of deep surprise voiced “ Eddie! Eddie! what On earth has changed you so?” We ne’er shall know, For as the cleric called that name there walked Into his den with all assurance of A hearty greeting Hasthe same old chap. But not the same: In place of “Well old bov” He said, “ I see my friend you’ve not yet learned The art of keeping still, you quite stir up My blood, and make me feel as if I were A living creature, not a Grecian urn.” Amazed the priest stood, for a moment, still Then said, “ Mad you not walked into my room Just as of yore, I would not know you te. In ancient forms and classic tongue you speak: It I compare your present speech with how You used to talk. What has come o’er you, say?,: A change came o’er the spirit ol my dream,” Said te; and then with eves dilated tar Beyond their usual size, he sighed. “ My friend The classic mantle of fMKvfipior. Around my ample form in lolds doth hang : The students of our Alma mater now, To me their classic tales recite and tell.” Well, if you teach as well as ‘Mac,’ mv friend. Old Hobart’s students’s still can claim their own With any in the land; but stay to lunch And tell me now, who’s president of my Old college home.” 44 Why don’t you know? ” said te. We met last week, and to the chair have called Your old chum Zed, who oft declared, you know, He'd be a master of a ship, and now, You see he is, but of fair learning’s cralt. They say, in discipline, he’s very strict, Does not: believe in holidays, and says, Vacations are a nuisance: How you’d laugh To hear him tell the students that they ought To study sixteen hours a day. Oh he Will make his mark. I tear with us he’ll not Remain so very long, and this I do Regret, for I myself love study so. Think that in these times boys study not So hard nor long as we were forced to do,” The next day te V took his leave and back Unto his labours went, but sent By mail a catalogue, in which, among The list of those illustrious ones whose race On earth was run, the cleric found the names Sit': ' and Junk y two brave and loyal men. Swift died a hermit far from lire’s glad joys: I 02 While Junk inspired by a holy zeal. Had braved the terrors of a scourged town; The plague had caught while burying some dead. And fell disease had claimed him for her own. There also came by post, of letters, three. From college friends all true and tried. The first Was lick's who wrote he’d prosperous been in life ; Had a large fortune made by fash’ning clothes For noble dames: and now was called “The Worlh Of North America ’mong other things. He wrote that Kiss his favored partner was: Kiss took the measures, he designed the gowns; Branch stores thev had in Paris, and had caused Old Worth to close up shop; “tor as you know,” Said lick, “ Where beauty is, there custom goes.” The second was from ShrJ who owned a ranch Within the limits of his native town, And raised fine hogs, and sent his pork o’er all I'he Christian world. In wealth he rolled and thought He’d give to Hobart cash enough to make New Stanford struggle lor first place. He’ll do It ton, the priest soliloquized, as for I'he letter third he stretched his hand. That came From Sen, by way of India’s coral strands, Was full of news and travels rare, for Sen Was travelling agent for a Circus Co., Controlled the “Zoo” and sometimes when he had To, played the banjo in the circus band. That night the priest received a telegram From Wallapoosieville, a town in Maine, Where lived a spinster aunt: or rather did, For she had passed away, and left her share Of worldly goods, unto the priest’s fair wife. He went unto that town, and as he walked The lane most thickly peopled, thought he saw Ahead, an old familiar face, nor fooled Was he, for ’twas Stan's phiz; the same Old boy, except he wore a suit of black, So green and seedy that you ne’er could think 103 The all fastidious Stan such clothes would wear. Vet there he was. a village teacher, round And fat as Santa Claus and loved as much. Apparently, by children, lor they swarmed Like bees around his rations honorahtcs And made his progress slow. With ready smile And hearty laugh he forced his way towards the Astonished priest, and with his old-time zeal. Required that he his guest should be, until He went away. Stan told how he had been. Like P. T. Barnum, jack of every trade. But fortune never smiled, so forced was he Into this life of teaching country kids The rudiments, called by a rustic old, “ The three chief R’s,M now tired of this was. And hoped to find another job ere long. As toward his home the priest on train did speed. There came into the car, a man quite tall. And bearing on his brow stern learning’s mark. ’Twas Mart who had become a litterateur, And into English pure translated books Of French and German lore, to help those lads Who struggle through their college course with pain. From Mart. the priest learned that their classmate A ; , Was missionary to the heathen world: And to acquire power had introduced. Both base and foot ball to the natives wild, With great success : tor all the sinners were, By royal mandate, made to umpire all The base and foot ball games, and this was found An easy mode of punishment to be. On his return the priest another batch Of letters found, and with these few his search For information came to end. One was From W, which told of his successful life. As master of that young girl's school, still called. 44 The Annex,” by fair Hobart's sons: himself The damsels taught in Math, and Greek and on All pleasant days a-walking led them out. IO.| From Divight a second came; he had become A woman’s Right’s and Temperance advocate. Stumped all the towns and counties in the land. And hoped right soon to lecture England’s king. The third, a hasty note, arrived from Jack, Who said he still tor physics felt a love, And so in Pennsylvania mines for coal Did dig, at dollars two per day, and thought That in the dark recesses of that land, He'd soon become a swarthy son of Ham. The last one to respond was Jay, and he As Editor-in-chief, had worked so hard Upon the Squashvillc Times that forced he was To take a rest, and asked for old time’s sake, If he could come unto the parson’s home. And rest his wearv mind so burdened with The c re of his great work. With joy was he Received and many a pleasant hour these friends Did spend in talking o’er the good old times They’d had as students in the class cf ’95. §rom a 3unior s 3ul?cna y-®nr ■te l 16 D. IUN.

I was then a student handsome, Maidens were my chief delight; But of all the eves that charmed me. None compared with thine so bright. And when winter’s tleecv mantle, Lay o’er hill and glen pure while. Thine eyes reflect not rippling waters, But the gleaming fireside light. As the playful shadows flicker, Kiss that neck and shoulders fair, A rosebud, loosened, gently falls, From the moss of rich dark hair. As Vivian stooped to seize the flower, My bosom heaved with passion warm, That bade me grasp and keep this treasure, For surely what could be the harm? Leaning o’er, she did not mean it. Her soil hair brushed my burning cheek; And her breath fell sweetly on me — Of such jov I cannot speak. Oh! Vivian, then our glances met. From the depth of those brown eyes. Shone the love 1 dearly longed for, I was lifted to I he skies. My happiness was then complete, Shall I ever know such bliss, As when on those lips so sweet, I imprinted that burning kiss? Time rolled on, those good old days. Will never more come round, My Vivian married the butcher’s boy—Now she weighs 300 pounds, (pt'afonics. When Madge and I Platonics talk We never find it stupid, But. wrapt in friendly converse, walk, Madge and I and —Cupid! 114 For though we love each “ ology ” And bow to learning’s fetter, Still, we confess, mythology Suits us a little better. So Madge and I’ll Platonic talk And never find it stupid, As we through life together walk, Accompanied by Cupid. I . C, A. The writer of the preceding verses has been accused of plagarism, The alleged original poem, said to have been found in an old book in the Library, is here cited as showing a remarkable instance of the wonderful forethought of the ancient. When Madge and I Platonics talked Some years ago, that foolish Cupid beside us always walked Quite warm, but now He’s coolish. That boy has not one tiling to do With Madge and me; we’re wedded, Young Cupid got us in this stew, And lelt us here unfriended. And now we’ve changed our erstwhile tune. And talk no more Platonics, Our words have lost their jingling Cho- Piambics and Clvconics. We study chemistry of food And modern dietetics : Madge daily seeks the cooking school — WeYe both confirmed dyspeptics. ’Mongst “ologies,” mythology I loved for all its ruffians Of heroes: now otology I ask for Madge’s muffins. Still Madge and I’ve some knowledge learned Of life’s cold histrionics; We’ve no more dealings with that durned Yonng Cupid, or Platonics. US M. H. D. Gifts more precious far than hoarded gold Treasure priceless clash and hold. Greedy time comes on apace, Shades the sunny hours efface; — Youth is ours, its value yet untold, Let the azure welkin ring, With our song in life’s fair spring; Hail to youth and love. When the swelling buds release the leaves, Kissed by sunbeams — truant thieves, In sweet wonderment they gaze, At the charm of spring tide days, While in fear of autumn’s chill yet grieves; So we revel in our new light. All is joy and keen delight; 116 Hobart College, Founded A. D. 1825.
