MILNE, 2 X. N. R. Osborne, k a. TOKIML We are at last enabled to answer the old question as to “ When the ECHO will come out?” The ECHO of g6 is already before the footlights. The Class of Vj6 having desisted from class contests, has turned its attention to the pro- duction ot the volume so eagerly awaited by every Hobart student. May it play its part in a manner satisfactory to all who have interest in the welfare of the College. Qur renders inav notice a new feature in the individual records of the two upper classes. We consider “ Who is he” to be of far inferior importance to “ What has he done? and have taken measures accordingly. The grinds have been sought out with much thought and care, the object being, in nearly every case, not so much to “grind” the individual as to present some striking peculiarity pertaining to him. The illustrations have been drawn by the very best taste and skill at our command. We do not think they will be found wanting. And so, ECHO, guarded by every precaution, laden with all our ideas, provided with everything that we can devise to insure you success, we launch you forth on the stormy waters of criticism ! Farewell, ECHO, record of our happy life in Geneva, mark of the turning point in our College career! May you pass safely through every danger of adverse comment; may you escape every peril of your life in the outside world, and may your voyage be long and prosperous! 7 “The Echo of the Seneca.” A Legend of the “ Lake Gun.” Should you ask me whence this story, Whence this legend? I should tell you. From the lips of a great chieftain, Wise and learn’d in Indian history. Loved and called by them their brother 44 Haiwaisaus ’ the pale-lace Indian. And to whom they’d told this legend Of the “ Echo ” or the “Lake (inn.” In the town of Kan’dasaga In the fort of the fierce Senecas, Fiercest of the fiercest warriors, Uwelt the noble Agayenfah. Straighter than the winged arrow, Towering was his regal statue, And his gav-plumed head was always Seen where’er the light was hottest; Calm and prudent in the council. Swift and cautious on the war trail. Brave and terrible in battle; Well beloved was Agaventah. On a sultrv day in summer In the time of peace and quiet, Agayentah left his wigwam Well equipped to hunt the red deer. When the evening sun was setting. With his prev he started homewards. With long strides he hastened onwards. As a storm was fast approaching. Scarce the high lake bank he’d come to W'hen the tempest swayed the forest, And the lightning through the twilight, Oleamed across the angry waters. On the lake bank crouched the warrior At the foot of a great oak tree, And about him pulled the deer skin To keep off the drenching shower. 8 Then amidst the roar of thunder All was hushed in awful silence. And from out the depths of heaven Hashed a death-wing'd shaft ot lightning ; Dealing tree and man a single Fatal blow and headlong dashed them, Two stark, lifeless trunks together Down into the lake’s deep water. In the morning, while the women Filled the land with lamentation. On the lake a body lloated Of the man and tree united. All day long the Indians watch’d it, DU the bloody sun was setting. And the thunder’s roar was mingled With the moanings of the west wind; While another storm was gathering O’er the lake a sound re-echoed, And the tree and Agaventah Started on their endless journey ; Often seen and oft forgotten All around the lake they wander. Caring nought for winds nor currents. Moving with mysterious power, Often when the sun in setting I ints the lake with bloody colors, Often when the storm is coming Sounds the voice of Agayentah. Fver armed and on the warpath Roams his spirit restless ever. And his shout t battle calling Echoes o’er the lake forever. Though long vears have past there lingers In the breast of every pale face, Reverence for the warrior’s spirit Doomed to wander without resting. And to all who know this legend. Who have heard and not forgotten, Hath the Spirit giv’n this promise. And hath sworn it by his fathers; That their doings here while gathered In this town of Kan’dasaga Shall be told m coming ages By THE ECHO OF THE SENECA. 9 M. S. J., V)6. Calendar. Jan. Jan. Feb.

HAMMOND, D.C.L., '54- 18 History ’98. HE History of the Class of Ninety-Eight is brief as yet, though by no means uneventful. If glory means victory alone, our escut- cheon is not undimmed ; but if glory means doing one’s best under the most adverse circumstances, then is our history glorious indeed. Greatly overmatched in weight and numbers we were defeated by our lumbering adversary in the class contests which we entered. But defeat in this case was not dishonorable; whereas, had Ninety-Seven succumbed to our force, her disgrace would have been well-nigh irretrievable. Strange to say, in the only nocturnal fracas which occurred. Ninety-Eight was the undisputed victor, and we bore from the tight to the green hills which surround Geneva, one frightened Sophomore as our booty. We were represented on the foot ball team during the late campaign by more men and stronger than was any other class. Our prospects for the base nail team are also very bright. Our class banquet has not yet taken place, but all things point to a pleasant and peaceful celebration. It is only just to say. finally, that Ninety-Eight is no laggard in the recitation room. Lachesis, in her fatal weaving, has already taken some of our best-loved classmates from among us. We miss them sadly, both in the class-room and on the campus: but our best wishes go out to them for success “ in the wide, wide world 11 for which they have left us so soon. And here, regretfully, the Historian must lay down his pen. ‘9 Freshman Class. % ’9s. COLORS—Navy Blue and White. Veil-—Razzle Dazzle, Hobble Gobble. Sis, Room, Bali!

The Sigma Chi 2 s 97. } T- r ' S P LATO wrote, MA man should run his course, and make a fair ending, and then we will praise him.” The Class of Ninety- Seven, adopting this precept, chooses to finish her course before presuming to chronicle her achievements. Our platform is simple: to do M nothing contrary to the ideas of the lawful, or just, or beautiful, or good; about serious matters being serious, and about matters not serious acting accordingly.” And as almost all organizations with a noble purpose have evils surrounding them which tend to drag them down, so also has our class suffered manifold affliction. But our resources have grown with our needs. The baneful influence of last year’s Sophomore class, disastrous at first, was soon overcome, while our earnest strivings with the present Freshman class have mitigated that grievous ill. That we have surmounted many difficulties so far may be seen by the records of the College. To-day, we stand strong and united, pursuing our way with energy and perseverance, not praising ourselves, but awaiting others’ praise. Historian. 24 LAW t A. Sophomore Class.

A fitting epithet and verily a true one. For look Ye ' ,0 'le cnurse °f a Junior. Does not college life begin with the ' 1 Junior year? For is he not an upper-classman? Then is the lit period tor soliloquizing, for loafing and for smoking. Ye can expect nothing from a Junior and nothing ye shall gel. Is it not so, O Faculty ? As ye aforesaid upper-classman sits before his lire drawing on a long stem does lie not think to himself thusvvise? And it came to pass that in the year 1K92, it being the eighth year of the reign of President Potter, there entered Hobart College a band of men, strong exceedingly both in numbers and intellectually. Mighty was the power thereof and its wisdom knew no bounds. Verily, she subdued with exceeding great ease all who opposed her and experienced a vear of exceeding great joy. In the second year of her existence, it being then the. ninth year of the reign of the aforesaid Prex, she (the class) truly upheld her established reputation. Has she not waxed stronger day by day until—but away with such undignified ruminations fit for only a Fresh- man. I must be up and doing. And wherefore? Is it not the night of the Junior Prom.? 2fj Junior Class. ’c . COLORS—Lavender and Scarlet. )'ell—Ra Rah. Ra Rah, Ra Rah Rix ! Hobart, Hobart, Ninety-Six! Officers. President.

IERE were twenty-nine of us when we assembled to attend our first service in the old chapel. We were to commence that career which has made the Class of ’95 and the College famous. There was no greenness about us and we were frequently mistaken for Seniors. Now that we are Seniors our learning is prodigious and our dignity worthy of a bishop. In all our college battles, the cane rush and the salt rush, we were victorious and simply toyed with our saucv antagonists. The long abandoned Freshman banquet was revived and in spite of the petty opposition of the Sophs.� we held it right here in town and made a grand success of it. In the Sophomore year, although diminished in number and greatly out- numbered by the Freshmen, we made a gallant fight and only after seven min- utes of desperate struggle were we forced across the line. This was one of the most hotly contested rushes in the annals of the College and we won as much praise as the Freshmen. It was we, also, who initiated the Junior promenade. This was a grand success, and was the only event which characterized the Junior year. We are now looking towards the end, conscious of having performed our work well and of having maintained a high standard. The prospect for the future is bright and all prophesy brilliant careers for us. Some will proceed to buy up the earth, some have plans for fencing in Mars, and several contemplate the complete conquest of Venus. Birney will soon become a Tammany leader, and Pop4' E. will win the world to prohibition. So long as Hobart lasts, we suppose our accomplishments will be recited as an example to succeeding classes, and if, students of the future, you follow in our footsteps, success will surely be your reward. 33 4 Senior Class. ’95- COLORS—Olive and Cream.

Hobart’s career in foot ball has been varied and much broken up. It is in 1879 that we find our first toot ball team. A Herald of that year says : “ Hobart is at last the happy possessor of a foot ball. The money has been raised and a ball sent for. Let other colleges be on the lookout for a challenge. ’ In the next number we find the Herald calling for twenty-two men. 4‘ The toot ball has been here for two weeks and nothing done,” it said. Lack of enthusi- asm seems to have been the trouble in the following years, too. There are no records from 'S4 on, till ’90, when the class of ’94 brought in some good material and the men chiefly prepared themselves for '91. In the fall of this year a mod- erately good eleven was formed with S. $. Patten, an Exeter man, captain, and a game was played with the Cornell Freshmen, in which Hobart was beaten. In ’92, with Patten again captain, three games were played, Hobart winning one and losing to St. John’s, 4 to io. and to Rochester, o to 40. The tall of '93 was a little more successful, the scores being Hobart 4?. Seneca Falls 0: Hobart o, Canandaigua o; Hobart 8, Auburn Theo. Sem. o; Hobart 5, St. John’s 16. It showed that we were Improving and learning the game more thoroughly, and the last season, ’94, furnished a very good record and gives encouragement for next year. The games last fall resulted: Sept. 29 Oct. 3 Oct. 13 Oct. 19 Oct. 26 Nov. 6 Nov. 14 Nov. 29 Syracuse University Seneca Falls o, Rochester o, Elmira o, Elmira 6, Rochester 16, Starkey Seminary 4, Buffalo 6, iS, Hobart 4 Hobart 60 Hobart o, Hobart o.

In an old fferald we find that the first match game of base ball played in Geneva was between two teams of the Walnut Hill High School—which stood on the grounds now occupied by Mr. King’s residence. This game took place in 1N56 or ’57 and consisted in a revival of Two Old-Cat or Barn Ball. From this time on the game grew rapidly and in ’59 the first Catch ol Walnut Hillers entered Hobart and a diamond was laid out on the campus. In i860 the Hobart Base Ball Association was organized and appears in the ECHO of that year with Thos. J. Ennis President. In 1861 Hobart was defeated in two contests with our neighbor Phelps, but had the satisfaction of 14 doing” Waterloo Si to 2, and in '64 when the famous battery Lockwood (c) and Jacobus (p) held sway tradition says they were a hard pair to beat and Hobart was victorious in nearly every contest. Then for the next 10 years nothing particularly brilliant was done, each season merely show- ing a team which served to keep alive the interest. In 1874, however, things turn a turn and we have the team which, with T- Chew as catcher and G. Finch pitcher, defeated Cornell 43 to 16 on one occasion and again 22 to 16. They further won two games from Syracuse 28 to 27, and 29 to 9. Many minor games were played, Hobart winning all. For the next few years excitement ran high and in 1879 there was talk of forming a base ball league of the different colleges in New York State. This was done in 8o but Hobart, for several reasons, chiefly for lack of training facilities, did not join. The league proved a failure. Our next good team appears in ’8r, the battery being Mallet (p) and Tuthill (c). The games played were, Hobart 4, Cornell 3, and return game Hobart 4, Cornell 2. Hobart 6, Hamilton r, Hobart io, Waterloo o, Hobart 13, Auburn 11. There was much rejoicing over the two defeats of Cornell and the battery were heroes. Interest then seemed to lag until ’84 when Hobart joined the re-organized I. C. B. B. A. consisting ot Cornell, Union, Rochester and Hamilton. It was in this year that we had our 4th famous battery, viz : McCauley (cj, Pierson (p), but the team succeeded only in finishing 3d in the race. Union being 1st with Hamilton 2d. 83 In 1S86 the lever again ran high, The scores stood, Hobart 15, Hamilton 6. Hobart 19, Union 15. Cornell 13, Hobart 5. Cornell 17, Hobart 1. Both the latter games were played under protest, but Cornell finished 1st in the race, uith Hobart a close ?d. It was in this year that we played Williams 2 to 3 and Col- umbia 4 to 1 r. The team ot '87 were pennant winners with “ Diddy M Dwyer (p) and Wav (c), their 7 backers being C. Mann, 1st b., (i. Curtis, 2d b., F. F. (German, 3d b., F. D. Reed. s. s., E. W. Hawley, I. f., E.

Hobart «S, Hamilton 8. Hobart 20, Rochester 10. It will be noticed that but one league game was lost. I’he last game with Syracuse, 26 to ro. practically decided the pennant and was celebrated by a procession in the eve- ning, comprising the whole college, headed by the Geneva band. In ’88 our chances were very favorable for another successful year, but com- plaint was made by the league against pitcher Dwyer and Hobart withdrew from the association. In 1890 we re-entered the league union finishing first that year. It was in 1892 that the pennant ol victory again floated from our mast. The team which battled for Hobart had for its battery Davis (pi and Taylor (c). The games re- sulted : Hobart 13, Hamilton o. Hobart 15, Colgate 9. Hobart 4. Hamilton 2. Hobart 4, Colgate o. Hobart 9, Syracuse o. Rochester 7, Hobart o. Hobart 13, Rochester 11. The last game with Rochester decided the pennant and from the time the game was over until late that night the town resounded with “ We’ve won the pennant.” J93's season was close and exciting, Hobart finishing 2d. The deciding game was played on our own grounds with Union, but we were unfortunate to lose, 8 to 9. Last season, owing to the weather, was unsuccessful in every respct, but few games being played and a number of the clubs withdrawing from the race be- fore the schedule was ended. It will thus be seen that Hobart’s base-ball career has been very satisfactory, and especially so for a small college. Let us all teel proud ol her record, and by showing our interest encourage the team ot '95, whose prospects, undoubtedly, are very bright.

This was the name given by th® (Senecas) Irtquois, to the Cinyfottia I 'irginiea, ' Spring Beauty,” one of the earliest and most delicate harbingers of Spring. The scene of the tale is in the neighborhood of Calhcrinestown (Havana) near the head of Seneca Lake, and which derived its name from Catherine Montour, a half-breed.and a reputed daughter of Frontenac : she was celebrated lor her spirit and beauty, was married to a Seneca chief, and was knowa as the '‘Seneca Queen.” Catheriueslown was destroyed in Sullivan’s raid,” Sept., 1770 along with many other Ituliau towns and villages ou both sides of Cayuga Lake, and on the eastern side and near the foot of Seneca. Among the latter was Kanadesaga,” or “ Seneca Castle. two miles west of Geneva. Many of these towns had very good houses : and exten- sive apple and peach orchards, large fields of orn : and a considerable quantity of hay in stacks ; all of which was destroyed.] Tis the tale of a haughty young Brave, The tale of a Seneca maid, And the strength of the love that she gave, For the honey-dew words that he said When the woods, in the soft vernal breeze, Gave the faintest suspicions of spring, And the liverworts under the trees, With their fuzzy blue buds were seen, Then he took her, the fairest of all. “ iVU$h-ko-deed,° for this was the name That the pretty “Spring Beauty” they call, From its delicate flush,—u rosy shame.” And thrice, in the blossoming- spring, Her heart full of joy and peace, Was she glad, when she saw on the wing. Flying northward, the Canada geese ; And thrice did she see on the trees The leaves, in the autumn’s bright glow ; And thrice was she happy when these Were dead in the cold and the snow ; A little child played at her knee, And the venison, partridge, and hare, Were plenty enough, and then she Could dainty corn cakes well prepare. But alas! it was Catherine Montour, Whose beauty and spirit combined 87 The Seneca chief to allure, And so in her fetters to hind. That when upon him she had smiled, Then he only remembered he’d been, Quite forgetting the mother and child, With Frontenac’s daughter, “ the Queen.” But she thought, through the winter so cold, As she sat in the wigwam alone, (For the little one lay in the wold, And was lulled by the storm wind’s moan.) That the spring-time would bring him again. When the moss would be green on the mound, And called from the earth by the rain, The anemones bloomed all around. And he came, and he brought her a deer, And a tender look showed in his eyes, As they stood in the sunshine, to hear The “honk” of the geese in the skies. But the summer had come, and was gone, And the Sumacs were red on the hill; And she listened all night and at morn. When the Katydids never are still. Through the forest all dripping with dew, Where the two tiny moccasins lie, She golden-rod brought, as the blue Was absorbing the stars in the skv: All around were the tall, dark firs, And the maples were gleaming with gold, And the nuts dropped out of the burrs. With the same pleasant sound as of old. Then she came to her once happy home, Where it stood in the bright morning sun, And as dressed for a bridal, put on All her trinkets and beads, every one; And the sight of her finery fills Her eyes with a wonderful glow.— The pretty, soft jacket, with quills Of the porcupine, worked long ago, And trimmed with the feathers he’d brought. Of crimson, and orange, and gold. SS From oriole’s wing and humming-bird’s throat, In the dear, happy days of old. She looked on the blankets of furs ; And a soft little skin of a bear She tenderly touched, lest she stirs A dear little girl sleeping there. She was losing her reason : and now She rushes outside in the air, And her hands are clasped tight on her brow, And her eyes have a desolate stare; All the woodlands are vocal with song. The thrush in the crab-apple tree, The jay, and a dear little throng That are calling out chick-adee dee. And above are the geese on the wing, Flying south, where the rice grows wild, And she, looking at these, tried to sing As a mother would croon to her child, But it ended in maniac song, As she rushed through the briars and brake, For the journey—the journey was long, To the banks ot the Seneca lake. With a maniac’s cunning she sped, All day through the woods and ravines. And her lips with the berries were red. That she picked when she came to old scenes; And at times, when her reason returned, She wailed with a passionate cry, As she thought of the love that was spurned, And the mound where the moccasins lie. But ever the struggle was short, Untiring, she followed again, Like a hound, on a trail that brought To the rocks of a marvellous glen; And she stood in her Indian grace On the edge of the cliff, with the light Of the “ Hunters’ Moon ” full in her face, And behind her the darkness of night. And the sound of the waves made her start, Coming up with a steady refrain, 89 Keeping pace with the beats of her heart As it throbbed with the violent strain, “ Mish ko deed! ” and she turns at the sound, Is she back in the old home again? She listens and laughs—then a bound. And a crashing resounds through the glen, And the quavering cry of a loon, Afar in the twilight dark, Booms over the waves, as the moon Shows the chief in his birchen bark. And the silver light glistens behind, And the shadows fall darkly before. As he launches the boat; and the wind Blows over the lake from the shore, And it stirs the light plumes of the heron Surmounting his raven black hair. And it cools his hot cheeks, as thereon It plays with a tremulous air. And his paddle just touches the water He is silently gliding through. And he looks like a chief lied from slaughter Erect in the little canoe, As there in the moonlight he sees A vision of three years ago, Above her a forest of trees. And the sharp, ragged rocks down below. “ Mish-ko-deed,9' and he waits-as the call hr echoes comes back from the glen : Then the flash of a gun—and a fall,— A detachment of Sullivan’s men.— And Catherinestown is aflame, And the Senecas scattering go:— But the warrior who called on her name Lies dead in the waters below. Gone, gone the “Spring Beauty!” No more Will she hearken to word’s honev-dew From the Seneca chief; and ashore Is drifting an empty canoe. (,o Epic of the Class of ’96. O Muse divine, sweet charmer of the Soul, Who sometime hath regarded human prayer. And from thy great celestial store of thought Hath spared a morsel here and there to us To cheer our hearts and make our thoughts sublime. By which the brutish part of man is quite Forgot, bathed, and washed clean, and purified In thine all-cleansing stream, hear, hear my prayer! And leave thv calm and cool Tempean vale And Heliconian Springs, where laurel-crown’d, Myriads of well-formed Nymphs do wait upon thee, E’er hastening to fulfill thv least command: Or it thou art at some Olympic feast, Charming the ears of Gods and Goddesses With thv melodious strains, slay not, but come Arid bring Calliope’s majestic train Along with thee to dignity my verse, And let no peacock feathers plume thy wings, But earnest, serious, pour forth all thv soul. First, say we follow not the beaten track Of any predecessor to pick up A laurel here and there by stealth or guile. But speak just what, we think and inward feel; And do not satirize the class we love, But rather sing of noble deeds and hearts Unselfish, bending to the one great end All powers combined, in mutual honor joined, fell how that class with one accord stood up For Hobart first, their Alma Mater fair; And how that strong unchanging love for her Grew stronger et, until it tills our breasts With rapturous and ecstatic joy beyond Our own control. How like a swelling tide, 9� Invincible to human arts, it bears Along our class resistless as it goes. There was a class renowned far and wide Through Hobart's classic walls for daring bold And strength, called Pente kai ennekonta. Which reigned supreme o’er all their little world. Nor aught they thought could ever hinder them ; So great their valor was. Before three days Had passed, the new-born class was well aware That war and all its dire events were sure To stand confronting them, ere they might hope To draw a peaceful breath or reign alone Instead of weaker foes; for it was known Through all the land that when old Ninety-Six Should come, a ruler tar and wide, that war And all its train of furies should be loosed, Till poor old Ninety-Five be overcome; But also that their Patron-God had gained No ignominious death for them, and would Desert them not, ere he had satisfied Their thirst for blood and proved their valor strong. But after many toils in field and class Another should arise on stronger wings And soar beyond. For thus the fates unroll. For two long weeks in battle line they stood Opposed, nor either one in all that time Did risk decisive tight, but watching looked For some advantage when sure victory Could easily he bought. At last the day Was fixed, and once for all prepared to tight It out. The neighboring towns both far and near Emptied their busied streets, and crowded close Blackened the hills around to watch the fray. A chosen herald then, of senior rank, Set forth at length Ihe object of the cause, While from the hank approval shouts assault The sky. The lines were formed, and breathless then They stood in expectation of the shot 9- That signaled the affray.—Bang ! “Forward, charge ! ’’ And soon were they in dubious battle joined. Then rose the dust like fog from running streams On some autumnal morn, and cloaked them all; But still they fought, each grappling with his foe, Contending as for life. Now down they fall, Both friend and foe in one confusion laid. And roll in struggling pile as swarming bees Upon a summer’s day. Then up again And down; full forty times the struggling mass Gave way and then advanced; so hard it is To slake the youthful thirst for victory. But human flesh hail bounds, and now long since They were transgressed, and so they grew more faint, And were about to v eld when courage rose And stood them in its stead. The spirit fought When flesh was overcome and cried to all — “Win or die! why live when overcome?” At last then Pente kai enndkonta Lay scattered on the field, exhausted quite, While Ninety-Six victorious marched away And had their medals struck. Imprinted fast The heroes’ faces were upon the front, And on the back “This Day Did Ninety-Six O’ercome Her Strongest Foe,” and many states Do now possess those medals struck of vore. Old time had reaped four weeks and hound them up With silver thread ere war broke out again ; For Ninety-Six no longer now did fear, But thought their throne secure; for bitter was That fight and its results in which they slew Their open foes, as warning to the rest. Proudly they walked erect along the streets. Wielding their might-won sceptres royally, At whose advance collected bands dispersed, Unwilling more to join in open tight. But lo! A deadlier and a secret foe Lay hidden for them yet, and only watched His chance to take them unawares ; for guile Is much preferred to open arts of war, 94 And strategy they think doth make them gods. The unsuspicious youth ran headlong on Until the Latin den enclosed them in Its prison walls: forth stepped the w. .ard then With hungry smile upon his wasted cheek, And gloating o’er his prey, the arch-fiend thus — ‘O juvenes, horalem hodie vobist Probationem sum meditatus ut Cujusque pensum distincte mihi Exhiberetur.” Gone was their courage then ; For who could stand before great Caesar's ghost, Or would not quail beneath the stinging lash Of Tullv’s tongue? All military skill And strength alike were vain against a toe Deep-dved and practiced well in hidden arts. Baffled on every side they plunge headlong To sell themselves amid the foe, their wounds All in the front. Despair in fiendish form Raged round them then, and made them demon-like, And so on equal grounds in battle line They long confronting stood, like fiends let loose From hell; nor did the hungry smile light up His visage stern; he Nashed his teeth instead, Such valor he had seldom found- At last A treaty then was struck, for neither one Could overcome, and fruitless was to fight Together sure to fall: but who could stand Before them both conjoined? And so a league Was made, “The one to rule supreme in field, By right of their courageous spirits’ might; The other King of ancient manuscripts: And both to sway the undivided realm With equal share.” And sworn to elther’s will Forever friends they held the throne alone. Then was there peace and for awhiJe it seemed As if the Royal Chariot would move Forever on, from all obstructions free, Allan and Greenough's grammar, £359, d. Iasi part. {Ciceronian joke.) I Vobis dative of disadvantage, according to most commenta tors. 95 When suddenly one day the news was brought, That on their coast not far away, the Turk With fiendish hordes of Bains had landed there, And thence on frequent raids for plunder foul. Had plucked away some bright, courageous youth, Who oft had stood in hardest battle firm. Anger then knew no hounds. Quick starting up With all their force upon him they advanced To lay the invader low; but no, he would Not join them hand to hand like Christian men, But tried, with sly and keenest Rhetoric, T’ evade their all-consuming wrath, and watched His chance to stab them in the back ; for well He knew his strength was Insufficient quite Against such foes to stand: and chivalry Forbade to slay a foe demanding peace. A council then was held, and ’twas agreed To let him unmolested live apart. Within their realm, so long as he behaved. As subject true; but should he once revolt. No quarter then was to be given him. But with his Ward’s to die the death at once. Then rose within that land an orator Of strength whose fame would reach to either pole And circumnavigate the world, were’t not That modesty doth keep his matchless skill In bounds, compelling him to llee from fame And notariety. Him ninety-six No sooner saw than won; for he had learned And conned the poets well, and thought them true — That first in beauty should be first in might’5— Then prone upon the ground he fell with arms Outstretched before them, and began to quote A favorite passage— I am but a voice; My life is but the life of winds and tides; No more than winds and tides can I avail:— But thou canst.— Be thou therefore in the van”— Then raised they him upon his feet and gave Him charge to please the restless crowd lest they 96 Some trouble make, if not amused. And ever after he performed his part So well, that often they themselves did smile At all his cunning play and its success. Well might J thus proceed, and draw out page On page and fill the margins too, until Our little book be filled, if I should sing Of all the deeds of noble ninety-six. How they did battle with the Greeks with more Than Spartan courage;—how the gentle Rose Delighted them, and how they felt its thorns;— And of that motley band of younger growth, Styled ninety-seven, conceited far beyond Propriety of youth, to their own hurt: 4i O what a fall there was my countrymen !— All which disproves the truth of “ better late Than never:” but Apollo plucks mine ear And bids me hasten on to the last great test. There dwelt in Hobart land far to the west A monstrous dragon, fierce, and terrible, Whose maw insatiate oft had closed around And sucked in many an ancient Kir.g along With peasant blood. Her only nourishment Was human flesh and bone, torn limb from limb In her cadaverous-scented mouth. At noon Forth from her den she used to steal and lie In wait: for home-returning mortal men, When unprepared and off their guard she fell Upon them, spreading consternation in Their midst; for she herself was long believed To be immortal: for in former times Against that Queen of man-destroying beasts There had been sent many an army large To sack her den and free them of the curse. Three heads were stricken off and in their place Three others grew in straight succession ; and Long years had passed away since then: and now Whenever she appeared, in headlong flight The villains ran, leaving the caught to fate, 97 Like to the bleating flock from the devouring dog; For chivalry was on a pilgrimage And honor too, and had not yet returned. Whether from fear of destined overthrow, Or awe-inspired by the heroic mien Of well-trained ninety-six, or whether fate Had so ordained, we can not tell; but sure It is that during all that time of war And trial, never once she harmed a man: But they with coolest confidence did go Even to her very den and came away Untouched. And now when mortal foes Had all in turn been slain or overcome They sought to win a lasting martial name By killing the Invincible. Six months The battle raged with all the misery And chance of war. Five times her hideous head Was stricken off, and though another sprang Up in its place, her strength was failing fast; And this was seen by ninety-six—O Joy Then swelled their breasts I—For not a man was down. And the wounds were very few, and those but slight. To this add all their furv when they saw Two men of ninety-five in prison held Behind her many-legged trunk. Forth sprang Two men on either side and rescued them From bitter death in time to see the scales Reversed. One forward plunge of the mighty lance, Held tight by all, passed through her mouth and pierced Her inward void! One groan! The day was won! And as the foe was not despised, they all, With one consent, agreed to burn the corpse With highest military honors. For Poor Arina Lytics had not a single friend To mourn her loss. And when the smoke had cleared Away, and left the blue sky only, free From Jin and clouds and battle’s roar, they looked And saw the placid sea of Junior life.— They dedicate their spoils to ninety-six’ Triumphant god, and march down to the beach. MARTELLUS. 9S Fireside Tale of the Pre-Historic Times of 1925 A. 0. ’Twas in 1894 on the 29th day of November, That Hobart went up to Buffalo ; The rest you’ll all remember. The fame of our team had spread so w'ide That envy grinned on every side. And longed to pluck our feathers down By beating us on their own ground. So the history says of those old times, Jotted down in jingling rhymes. “Our men fought hard and w'ell, every one, Demon-like Irom bounds of hell they rushed on, And they bucked ’em and they rushed them, And they went around the end Till Bachie cried for joy. And Kirby couldn’t bend; And Wakey ploughed the center, With Mahoney at his back, And Hooker, Cook, and F. R. Case, They followed in his track. And Austin W'as a stone wall. And Davis was the same; They couldn’t buck our center. They couldn’t make a gain, And the tackles were like tigers, When they broke through the lines, Grappling like a belted knight. When his hidden foe he finds. And twice across the goal line Shot Casey like a horse. And Wake picked up their half-back And carried him across. And so the day was ours, And ere the setting sun Had reached the western hill-tops. The victorv had been won.” 99 Spectator. ye Pig-Skin. Ye foote-balle game is brutale shame.

Thou, Helios, wert on the downward course Ere mustered stealthily the Freshman force, And eastward bent their march, with vision bright Of banquet at the journey’s end, that night.

Forgetting foes alert and danger near, They part; some go elsewhere in search of cheer. 101 What dire mishaps, Disunion, thou hast wrought! What empires whelm’d—what woe to Freshmen brought Commotion meantime reigned among the foe, As where, in one, two mighty rivers flow. The cry, ”To arms! had roused them one and all; From tar and near they gathered at the call. Rehold them fiercely rushing to the fight! Grim Bates, the llaxen-haired, commands the Right: And wily Hall, of great laryngeal fame. Exhorts the Left, by Fatherland and name: While, o'er the Centre, Andy’s godlike form Rides in the whirlwind and directs the storm.” But who the Freshmen’s terror can portray When Rumor fore-announced this dread array! The leaJers swift a consultation seek, Pale Consternation reigning on each cheek. On this sage plan they speedily agree— To mount the chariots, then in haste to flee. But Fate refused, for ere the mount was made, Down swept the Sophomores, by naught delayed. As when an avalanche, with thunderous roar, Down-rushing, shakes the very mountain’s core. Entombing all, by one terrific stroke— No less the attack upon the Freshmen broke. Their pierced battalions disunited fall In heaps on heaps; one fate o’erwhelms them all.” Here might be seen puissant Watson prone, By fire-eyed Wake, of Saugatuck. overthrown.

What need to note each chieftain of that field, Who shared in this sad fate—was forced to yield ! But four escaped; as swift as hares they fled, That hear, afar, the hunter’s warning tread. A treasure vast was captured on that day ; The bearer fell, and where he fell he lay. Sing now, O Muse, that great triumphal train, With Victory returning home again! The air is tilled with paeans, shouts of joy, And hymns to Zeus, as men are wont t-employ. Yet oft is heard the captive’s dismal wail, Borne for an instant on a passing gale. As when the workmen make a roof of tin : A thousand hammers all increase the din— 60 Not otherwise the mingled sounds did rise From Sophs and Fresh alike, to rend the skies But sad it was to see the humbled pride Of prisoners dragged, each by his captor’s side ! O’er all Despair had thrown her sable pall Who dreamt that such calamity could fall! One last long shout the midnight echoes woke, When home they reached, and marching-order broke A shout which pierced, ere it was scarce begun, To that professor’s ears who gave the run. 70 103 Nineteenth Century Drama.

There renewed the oft-made pledges, swore that we’d be ever true To our home and to our darling all this stormy life-way through. Then we fondly kissed each other in one long and sweet embrace, Quickly then were torn asunder, wakened in that noisy place. And the fast-repeated sledges beat against our chamber door, Till it fell to splinters inward, scattered round upon the lloor. Then they seized upon mv brother with such rough and violent hands, Dragged him from his bed all shivering, wondering at their rough com- mands ; Both of us were far too frightened even once to call tor aid. While they forced us to make ready for a journey long, they said. Sleepy, scared, and hardly knowing what to do was best for us, With hut little hesitation, soon they put us in a bus. Far away o’er hills and valleys, crossing brooks and tangled wood. In a copse at last then halting, circling they about us stood. And compelled us to make speeches on their class and high renown. Sing them songs both grave and funny, dance and jest and play the clown. Long we thus did entertain them, till we both so weary grew, We could scarcely stand for aching pains that shot our limbs clear through: Still unsatiated were they, and for more they loudly cried. Till at last my brother fainted, sank upon the ground and died. There alone I wept unheeded, thinking him forever gone From this vale of woe and sorrow, leaving Chlorus here alone Vain indeed was then my mourning: brother John they took away; Me they lett there in the forest, where I staid till break ot day. Back to college then I started, plodding slowly many a mile. Weary, foot-sore, broken-hearted, O, mv anguished soul the while! There I found in bed mv brother, looking pale, and sad and worn; So I telegraphed directly to come home that very morn. John was slowly getting better, so we left that awful place; Mamma met us at the depot, with a cheerful smiling face; Home we came all three together; gladly now we here will stay, With those rough and naughty Soph’mores, many, many miles away ! Mamma sings to us each evening, tucked up in our cradle tight. And as now mv tale is finished, sweet friends, every one, good night. Exit. 10S SCENE V.

Delightful spot, I’m here at last, With thee, my sweetest joy ! Here where my earl3’ manhood parsed In love without alloy! And oh, how changed do ye appear Ye ivied buildings I revere! Ye trees, beneath whose pleasant shade I thoughtless la}- full many a time, Penning some light and easy rhyme, O may ye never fade ! Ye rugged banks that tower along The c Id lake’s winding shore, That ever list to plashing song Of waves the pebbles o’er, Tell now, ye genii of the place, The guards of many a passing race, Of all thy favored sons who lave Ju silvery waters’s cooling bliss, Aud also who the foremost is To breast thy glassy wave ! He wonders if they still are bold and eager to defend the reputation of their college with both mind aud body, and to be victorious against all odds. Thou hovering cloud that hangest o’er The broad athletic field, Where oftentimes besmeared with gore We fought and did not yield, Does it continue so till now That courage sits oil youthful brow, With greatest odds doth strong contend, Despising all for her dear sake, Both heart and limb bold struggle make, And on to victory bend? 117 He visits the chapel, calling to mind how they sat accord- ing to their rank of seniority, and, inquiring whether his old chaplain still lives, payeth a tribute to his memory and worth. The mutilated class-rooms call up many past experiences, also the zeal and learning of his instructors The soul setteth fire to the brain and is the source of true poetry. A great soul maketh a great man. Powerful intel- lect alone coutaiueth no great- ness. Although absolutely free to do what his heart desireth, still he feeleth somewhat con- strained. And after compar- ing the pleasures of travel to those of his youth he giveth preference to the latter. Old chapel clear, where all the same Each in succession sat And otTered up as incense-flame Devotion pure as that! And is the dear old Doctor gone, Whose blessed face quite often shone With holy light and silver hairs, Who rcr.d with “ unaffected grace, And smiled with half-unchiding face When we came late to prayers? Lo! here grim recitation rooms And deeply carv d seats! In there we choked on strangling fuiucs, In here some used to cheat; And there high on his throne did sit The Prince of Knowledge and of Wit, Who with unflagging zeal would scale Parnassus’ mount with Latian reed, Or swifter on a Grecian steed Would boiiud o’er hill and dale. And next this large and crowded shelf Invites admiring look, The place where oft forgetting self O’er many a pleasing hook, We whiled away the dreary time In company with souls diviue, Which gleaned from many teeming brains Much lofty rhyme and wit complete, L,ove stories true and deep conceit, And gave us nobler aims. I’ve waudered north and south and west, Abroad both far and near; But sweeter far I found my rest Upon thy bosom dear. O’er the expanse of western plains I roamed with body free from chains, But spirit not entirely free. In sleep my love has changeless been With lovely visious bright,—for then My thoughts revert to thee. 11S He weiglmlh the crafty machinations Of men ftgaittSt the simplicity of boyhood, and is borne away in contempla- tion of the pure soul untainted vet by guile ncr steeped in base hypocrisy, which he be- lie veth belongs more to men than boys. The good which existed tit .� former state alone survives the wreck of time: all else is washed away in hethe's stream. Therefore he looketli hack with regret to a period of life which now seems to have been ideally happy, while confronting the troubles that obstruct his view of the noble things of the present. He forgetleth all his troubles and recovereth his light-heart- ed u css from the young who rejoice at seeing and welcom- ing home their elder brother. Alt, those were days! the brightest joy That earthly bliss affords! Each smiling, well-contcntcd boy Spake kindly guileless words. And when each other’s hands we shook, A warm, magnetic thrill, a look, Such as proceeds from lovers’ eyes, Told feelings deep and hearts so true, Whose friendship’s da3 s we never rue, And souls that sympathize. Ambition then so pure and young Earth’s greenest laurels sought; No gnawing envy then among Companions close was brought, Rut oach with most unstinted praise Vied one another’s worth to raise. Together stood a noble band, United close by sacred ties, To friendship’s claim in every guise Would lend a helping hand. And oh, ye light and joyous throng, As gay as butterflies That dance the flowery banks along Of brightest paradise, Ye make my old heart glad to-day, With care and sorrow cast away; My youthful blood revived runs, Electrified as by a kiss. O sweetest rapture sure it is To be of Hobart’s sons! A. G. Richards. IT9 L’envoi. Farewell, clear classmates, if agaiu to meet Upon life’s roadway, where, with ceaseless feet, The weary millions wend their way to rest, Be not our lot------Farewell! But undistressed Let us our way take through the should’ring throng, Trusting, in paths diverse though toil be long, It yet shall end in gladsome evensong And rest unending; that at length shall join In closer friendship the Alumnus band In the great, dim Beyond, the Silent Land.
