Sciitorial. NOTHER year is fast slipping into the abyss of eternity and it devolves upon ’95 to present to the students and alumni of Hobart the Echo of the Seneca. In presenting this, the thirty- third volume of the Echo, it has been our purpose to maintain as far as possible, the general make-up of previous issues that the book might the more easily lend itself to purposes of preservation. The College Annual, aside from the fact that it is a book of reference and statistics, has gradually assumed a character which is literary and artistic and humorous as well; which character, indeed, has become the leading feature of such a publication. Wherefore, to compile a manual of mere statistics would neither be satisfying our aim nor producing anything of interest to others; but in that college life is made of many phases and incidents it is possible to utilize these and by some method of treatment put into them that subtle flavor which characterizes student life, so as to impart to those outside of college halls a faint idea of their interior. This we have tried to do and hence the free and easy, as well as the more serious, are both herein presented ; more ink being added, only when wishing to give a pleasing likeness of the original. We depart a little from the usual course in the matter of our drawings and pride ourselves that we are able to present the work of artists of skill.
