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
