press of whose life can never pass from this town. Truly Hobart has lost much. The resignation of Dr. Potter from the Presidency caused general surprise and regret throughout Geneva. For the past twelve years he has had the pleasure of seeing his work widen and strengthen under his ex- cellent care. Now, when the general prosperity of the college invites his presence, he feels that he must go. God speed him in his new work, wherever it may be. it is with deep regret we say “ Good-bye “ to Dr. Potter, with heart-felt sorrow that we are forced to say it to his charming wife. At present the college is progressing quietly and safely under the capable hand of the Dean, Prof. Durfee, who was appointed acting Presi- dent by the Board of Trustees, until a new President is found, worthy of succeeding the men who have gone before. Athletics are on a sounder basis than ever. There is good interest evinced in all the teams. A running track is in process of construction. The crew will soon be at work again. Above all there are more evidences of college spirit than have been seen of late years. It is worthy of cultiva- tion. A college is no college without it. Let it grow. 8
