The President of Hobart College spent the first twenty years of his life in the state of New York, living chiefly in New York city and at Middle Granville, Washington County, where his father's manufacturing plant was located. His history is that of many Americans, a youth divided between city and country. He entered Williams College in the autumn of 1875 and in due course graduated with honors in 1879. He was a member of the Chi Psi and Phi Beta Kappa societies, also President of the Adelphic Union. In his senior year he was awarded the Graves Literary and Oratorical Prize, a coveted Williams honor. He was not noted as an athlete. After graduation he studied divinity at the Episcopal Seminary in Alexandria, Va. At the close of the first year finding his health impaired by long study he became a Topographer in the U. S. Geological Survey in the Division of the Grand Canon of the Colorado. Mr. Jones did not re- turn to the Seminary but completed his divinity preparation privately. During this time he had many inducements permanently to adopt a scientific career, the most notable being an offer of the position of astrono- mer in the ill-fated Greely Polar Expedition. In 1882 he was ordained Deacon by Bishop Paddock, of Massachusetts, and was assigned to St. John's Chapel, Williamstown.where his taste for work among students was developed. Two years later he was called to the Rectorship of St. Luke's Church, Kalamazoo, Michigan, where he remained six years, building up a strong and prosperous parish. In November, 1897, he became Rector of Trinity Church, Columbus, Ohio, and remained there four years. Hard work and an unfavorable climate made it necessary that he should seek change and recuperation in Europe, where he remained a year. Returning to this country he became First Assistant to the Rev. Dr. W. R. Huntington, at Grace Church, New York, and afterward on the death of the Rev. Dr. Charles Hoffman he took a similar position with the Rev. S. DeLancey Townsend, Rector of all Angels Church in succession to Dr. Hoffman, where he remained until his election to thePresidency of this col- lege in June. 1897. Pres. Jones is a progressive man. Under his guid- ance Hobart may well look for a wonderful future. 4 THE ECHO HOARD □reran Board. HOWARD BENFORD MOORE, K A, Editor-in-Chief.

Of course we on whom this duty devolves have the usual amount of trepidation for the outcome of the fray; stiil we put our trust in the battle- cry, '• We have done our best—angels can do no more ! We find no lack of ability among the student-body—to draw it out and get it into a tangible form is the difficulty. May future editors of The Echo find the secret of this. 9 And now a word about old Hobart, or shall we say New Hobart? A new president, three new professors and a very new ’’ and enormous Freshman class, place Hobart practically in a state of “ boom, Well! we say, let it “ boom. With such a start this year, we may reasonably expect a brilliant future. To the Class of Ninety-eight about to pass from us, deeply imbued with learning, we pay the accustomed salaams and wish its members every success. Then, heaving a mighty sigh, we shake the ink from our per,, go back to our less pleasant duties and leave The Echo to its fate. IO Officers and Sfudenfs of I lolxiil College. pcicuitv: THE KICV.

Charles Frederick Hoffman, D.D., LL.D. At a meeting of the Faculty of Hobart College, held March 22, 1S97. the following resolution was adopted : The Faculty of Hobart College desire to express their grateful recognition of the services which Dr. Charles Frederick Hoffman, late Trustee and Vice-Chancellor of the College, ren- dered to the cause of Church Education through the Association of which he was the Presi- dent. an Association whose objects were of the most practical and efficient character and were supported by his untiring efforts and the generous and judicious use of the wealth which he expended as the good steward. In particular, the Faculty desire to record their gratitude for the profound interest he took in the welfare of the College in his latest moments, which were occupied with far-reaching and enlightened plans for its establishment 011 a permanent and solid basis both educationally and financially. At a meeting of the Faculty of Hobart College, held September 27, 1897, the following resolution was adopted : Kfsofrrd, That the Faculty deplore in the death of bishop Rulison the loss of a personal influence long applied to furthering the ends of education. We are well aware of his many years of valued service to a sister College ; in particular, however, the Faculty desire to record their sense of gratitude for the graceful and felicitious manner in which he discharged the office of Honorary Chancellor of this College, and contributed by his distinguished presence to the interest of the last Commencement and by his thoughtful address to the value of its exercises. They cannot forget the pathetic circumstance that this was ltishop Rulison’s last appearance in public, and that his time and energy were freely bestowed upon us when the expenditure of both entailed a serious sacrifice. We take this as a sample of the unsparing manner in which he spent himself in his ministry and his episcopate. FriLstees The Hon. James M. Smith, IX.D., Chairman.

Many changes have taken place since the class first arrived in Geneva, ignorant of what was before it and yet confident that a worthy record would be made whatever came. And now almost at the close of that life, to which we so eagerly looked forward, a retrospective glance shows much of which to be proud. In all branches of College life, in the broad character-forming student life, which well prepares us for conflict with an unfeeling world, as well as in the classroom, where we get the material with which to build up from that foundation, in all this, ’9S has borne her responsibilities well. She can feel that if one and all continue to do as well in the future as in the past, without doubt a glorious future is in store for her. A word of remembrance and of regret must be said for those who, starting bravely with us for one reason or another could not complete their College life. They are with us in spirit and though they have not stood shoulder to shoulder with us through the heat of the whole contest, yet their example and devotion are ever with us to spur us on when we “ close up,” to struggle hard for victory. What the future has in store for us none can tell, but whatever fortune may be ours we will always look bach on our College course as the happiest and best spent years of our life.

From that autumn day, which already seems so long ago, when we came together from the four quarters of the globe twenty-four strong, the class history is one to be proud of. The lordly conceit of t he sophomores we speedily reduced by a series of brilliant victories. Not- withstanding their petty opposition the class held its first meeting in serenity. Notwithstanding their uttermost effort the class won a splendid victory in the cane-rush after a hard fight of ten minutes. Notwithstanding their cunning craftiness and bold attempts at kidnapping our officers, the class banquet was held in triumph. And even in that last fight of the freshman year-—the battle with the Word-book—the class was once more successful. In the sophomore year the class, somewhat diminished in numbers, came upon a new enemy in the shape of a vigorous young freshman class. Though the freshman class surpassed us in numbers, and was backed by the moral support of the whole college, the class of '99 again covered herself with glory. In June, the class having triumphed more or less completely over her subtle foe, Analytics, celebrated with barbaric splendor the burning of the calculus. But lest you be dazzled, I must pause ; only remarking in conclusion that the record of the class in the recitation halls has been for the most part admir- able. It is with deep regret that we remember how short a time remains to us in the happy halls of old Hobart, ’neath the inspiration of a faculty which we have learned to revere and sincerely regard.

' 'HE Class of Nineteen hundred, first fruit of the twentieth century, .� entered the walls of Hobart strong in its seventeen lusty warriors. With this comparatively small number she has so far continued, varying slightly in her raffled course ami firmly believes that old story about the father, his sons and the bundle of sticks—in her unity is her strength. The glorious deeds of nouglity-nought (and there are no naughty ones among us) we do not desire to boast nor to tell her superiority out among the nations. On the contrary as the bravest soldier respects the courage of his enemy so 1900 is not ashamed to acknowledge the worth of her inter-class opponents. Early in our career we were accorded the honor of a delightful recep- tion at the “ Gym.” Our genial host ‘99, we fear did not have much reason to consider her efforts to have been highly appreciated. The true reason, how- ever, seems to he that 1900 had already begun to show that intense application to her studies which has since made her famous and consequently could send few to participate in the evening’s festivities. The ’bus parly held later in ’99's honor did more than prove her appreciation to that class—as one at least can testify. In fact the hard round of studies was frequently brightened by the interchange of courtesies. In the class contests '99 was victorious, but 1900 in spite of powerful odds against her put up a good fight and her's was an honorable defeat. Ninety-nine was given quite a jolly surprise when we took the train for our banqueting place while she was enjoying the delights of Durf’s mathematics. The rest of the college year passed off smoothly, our class acquitting her- self with honor both in class-room and in field. I11 this her second scholastic year, her course of life has run as smoothly as might be expected in such a troublesome world. She has interfered with no one and has met with little interference. In the class contests of this year she was manifestly at a disad- vantage being vastly outnumbered ; but still she did well. And now as her historian looks into the somewhat hazy future, lie ventures to predict that when Father Time wheels across the nineteenth century mark, early in the next cycle of years Nineteen hundred’s career will be seen not ended in obscurity but continuing in the path she has here begun, and will rise to eminence in the land.

Even the sophomore, our sworn enemy, could be seen peeking from behind trees, groaning in despair, and even before trying he said. “It’s no use. fellows, the)- are too much for us.” We give him credit for his foresight and subsequent efforts ; as Mephisto said. “ Give the Devil his dues.” A brief account is all I shall give you of our many victories. ” Scrap ” No. i, occurred before college opened and our “ phalanx ” soon made havoc of double nit's “ cohort.” The next real scrap occurred the day we announced our class meeting. Oh! What a slaughter ! It would have taken many baskets to have carried away the fragments, had not the seniors wisely requested us to let the poor fellows alone. We did so and freely forgave them for their thoughtlessness. This farce was introduced into our history because we did what college custom demands, namely, posted the notice of our first class meeting, in a conspicuous place, for twenty-four hours. The field-day contest was easy.” We won everything except the sprints; but in these '00 was particularly clever; principally because they had practiced them so much, thinking by using the “ wings of Hermes,” they might keep a good distance between themselves and oi. In pity we avoid the cane-rush.” It was too easy.” The honored prize now decorates our President’s sanctum. The score of the baseball game tells the story : Freshmen 9. Sopho- mores 2. We contributed five men to the football team and on the sub.” list we had one. O11 the baseball and track teams we shall be well represented. Our Banquet comes next. We remained in Geneva and dined in the enemy’s territory. Dare they try to break it ? No, all disappeared and one was looking for 11s in Waterloo. The next day our Waterloo friend is heard saying: ur class lacks nerve.” In this incidental manner I have related some of our successes. Many more might be related but our modesty forbids. However I shall tell you of one more, our conquest of the Word Hook.” We have received six “runs ” in this (study?) either on account of good work or the forgetfulness of the Professor. Thus, I have given you a glimpse of our physical, moral and intellectual strength, and for further information Watch our smoke.” 38 Historian. i AVIHifl ? 1lt Freshman Class 1901.

CCORDING to the ancient custom of Hobart, on Monday night in Commencement week the Sophomores held their trial of Analytics and found her guilty (of what nobody cared). Long and angry speeches were made against her and at the sentence of the Judge, committing her to the flames, a wild jubilation broke forth, songs of triumph weresung, and a grotesque dance around the burning victim took place. Before the trial, which was held, as usual, on the College Campus, the court, a weird procession, marched up and down Main street headed by drum corps. The order of the procession was as follows : Ordo Processionis. Dux agminis, Johannus Carolus Lacinia Sunt. Demonii. Guilielmus Alfreds Actus impedimenta Scopula. Gregorius (Qui Fricat) Rogeratus.

Y.—The students of Hobart College last night presented at Smith’s Opera House the classical drama of “ Pygmalion and Galatea.” The scenery was excellent. The costumes were well fitted—to the occasion—and set off the figures of the actors to perfection. Especially did Pygmalion's cos- tume set him off, though the tunic was somewhat short and full (giving him the appearance of a ballet dancer), and there was somewhat more of an expanse of pink tights than was necessary for the desired effect. However, Galatea’s modest dignity and clinging robes lent an air of grace and good- breeding even to the pink tights. Cynisca’s frock of flaming purple was a creation of art (just whether hoop-skirts were worn at that period we do not know, but Cynisca bore herself and her make-up with gravity and seriousnsss). Myrine’sgown of blue was silph-like, cloud-like and clinging. It grieved her much that she could never find the side-pockets she sought for so diligently throughout the play. Daphne very much resembled a Greek goddess robed in yellow cambric. The acting was excellent—in quantity. Pygmalion made the hit of the season by bursting into hysterical convulsions at the first sight of his wife, Cynisca. We confess we could n’t blame him. Chrysos was good —in make-up. Daphne was empresse in manner, looked loud and acted loud, but she filled the part of ” Soup no i ” to perfection. Galatea was excellent. In her scenes with Pygmalion and with Chrysos she conducted herself with exceeding simplicity and characteristic inquisitive- ness. If her method of sitting down was not that taught at the D. L. S. it was unique and original. Her wig was beautiful. The last scene found the audience bathed in tears. The silence of a pin- fall spread over the house while Pygmalion ranted and tore his hair and Galatea wended her solitary way, amid the tears of the audience, back to her perch, then burst forth a storm of applause that threatened to tear down the house. There were forty-seven curtain calls. The one-act farce given by the company was refreshing and funny. It was clearly improvised, for there was nothing but improvising; no one knew the cues nor just what they were to do Mrs. Hudson made quite a hit by for- So getting every cue—but she was stunningly costumed, even though her frock did button in front instead of in the back as intended. Burleigh also is said :o have wandered up and down the stage vainly searching a lost cue and it is said Randolph was in a very great hurry to get through. Hudson looked handsome and quite like a man of the world, he thought. The beautiful shoulders and neck of Mrs. Hudson were conspicuous. Pvgmalion and Galatea. Given Dv me Hobart Dramatic Club.

The revolt against impure and paid athletics has at last resulted in the formation of a new athletic union which embraces Colgate, Hamilton, Union and Hobart. It has been in operation about a year now, and has well demon- strated the fact that it is possible to have college athletics without “ ringers ” and professionalism. Some of the features of the new constitution are the enforcement of a four-years’ rule; a rule allowing no one to be on a team with more than two conditions and taking less than twelve hours per week, and a strict definition of what constitutes an amateur. There is an Advisory Board, consisting of a professor, student and alumnus of each college. Of the general officers, so far, Hobart has had two, Prof. Fermaud, treasurer and J. C. Jagar, ’99, Secretary. It is the earnest wish of every lover of true sport that the N. Y. S. I. C. A. U. may live long and prosper. 89 Holxirt College Athletic Association.

II. On May 5th, 1897, at the Utica driving park, the track teams of Union, Colgate, Hamilton and Hobart met for the first time to compete in track and field events for the championship of the newly formed Athletic Union. The weather was perfect for a field day, which was proved by the exceptionally good records that were established in nearly all of the events. Especially good were the records made in the half and mile runs, the first being done in 2 minutes and 4 seconds, and the latter in 4 minutes and 38 seconds. The teams from all the colleges were strong and did well, though it be- came evident early in the afternoon that the team from Union was the strongest. Hamilton easily won second place in the meet. The teams from Colgate and Ilobarl were too small to stand any show with the larger teams of Union and Hamilton, but they were composed of good men and showed up well consider- ing their numbers. 104 I.ACROSSK TEAM. Lacrosse, the Indian game, has been this year introduced into Hobart. This game is now being played by Harvard, Yale, Johns-Hopkins, Lehigh, Columbia, Cornell, St. Stephens, College of the City of New York and Stevens Instituie. The first college game was played some five or six year? ago. Dr. Leighton introduced it at Harvard, Cornell and Columbia, and has this year started the game at Hobart. He played on the Crescent Athletic Club team on its trip to England. The team is now practicing for the follow- ing games : Cornell, Crescent Athletic Club, C. C. N. Y., Mont Claire, Toronto University, the crack college team of the world, May 26. The team consists of twelve men, as follows: four attack men, fourdefense men, a center, a goal-keeper, a point, and a cover-point. The field is 125 yards long and the width not defined. The two goals are six feet square, inside. The game depends largely on team work in passing the ball from one man to another and putting it through the goals. Darling, Goal. Richmond, Center.

Bacon 106 rhe Echo of The Seneca. AS TOI.D BY GALA MODE, THE OLD ONEIDA CHIEF. “ In a small ravine on the eastern side of Seneca Lake there stood the paint- ed wigwam of a Seneca warrior who was renowned among all people as the bravest of his nation. The blazing sun of a sultry summer day was beating down upon the quiet lake above whose waters rose the steep banks clothed with trees. As the heat of the day began to abate Ygosaliadahs went out from his lodge, his bow in his hand and his knife in his belt, and set off into the forest. “After a long and weary chase he at last sighted a stag making his way through the glades and cropping at the leaves of the low bushes. With one arrow he laid low the monarch of the forest, and slinging the body across his brawney shoulders started back towards his camp-fire. A gentle breeze had be- gun to stir the topmost branches of the trees and dark clouds were gathering in the path of the setting sun. Before long the low-lying bank rose higher in air leaving the horizon clear and distant mutterings of thunder were heard. Just as the hunter reached the high bank of the lake the first drops of rain be- gan to fall, and throwing down his burden he crouched on the ground at the foot of a tall pine tree to await the end of the shower. As he did so the clouds seemed to vomit forth all their wrath upon the earth ; and a fiery shaft descend- ing swiftly blasted tree and man with it’s deadly stroke, hurling them both together down the lofty cliff into the silent waters of the lake. “The sun was setting in a glory of crimson splendor when the Seneca women standing on the bluffs near the port at Kauadasaga saw a dark object Boating towards them over the gleaming surface of the waters and heard, coming to them from beneath the lake, a dull boom as of muffled thunder— the voice of their great warrior Ygosahdahs, whose body, melted into one black mass with the charred tree trunk, drifted by, driven on by storm and wind and current. “Though long years have passed since any Seneca has launched his canoe on the lake his fathers loved yet the spirit of Ygosahdahs still wanders restless over it’s waters, and when in the quiet summer evening the sound of his voice is heard along the bluffs, then the white man tells his children of the fort of the fierce Senecas and of the fate of their mighty warrior. Some tell us that it is all our fancy and that it is only the Lake Guns, but those of 11s who know the truth bow our heads when we hear that voice crying ' Agge Agge! Agge! Hagque r ‘Alas! Alas! Alas! My People !’ and say in reverent whis- pers: “ 4 It is the voice of Ygosahdahs: it is the Echo of the Seneca. ” B. 1900. 107 Class or ’99. Sketches. Ackley, Charles Breck, hails from Oconomowac, Wis. Although his strik- ing face has not long lit these halls he has already made himself recognized and is rapidly scaling the ladder towards social fame. He shows great and commendable interest in his studies and in Psychology (one of his fortes) we often saw his light shine. He is wise, ambitious and sociable and conspicuous in every circle that he graces. Blodgett, Francis Branch, is a scion of noble stock from Oakfield, N. V., a flourishing rural metropolis. He has a substratum of dry humor sometimes surprising and is noted for always being able to say the last word en repartee. In the library he has been long a gracious and ready helper of our dear Pro- fessor Vail and in our religious circles he has ever been prominent. The sweet and pleasing smile that often bathes his countenance causes us great reluctance in leaving the biography of Mr. Blodgett. But duty calls us on. Blodgett, Kinsley. This is a specimen of Pawtucket, R. I. His many cares have caused an eager, anxious look about the corners of his weary eyes. A composite picture of George Beach, Mepliisto, Pres. Jones, Napoleon Bona- parte and other ambitious men could give us an idea of his physiognomy. He only needs scope for his many talents. Darling, John Elmar, of Toronto, is a man of considerable biography all unknown to the present scribe. However, that is of little consequence for our purposes. His manly bearing and stern brow are impressed upon us all. To see him ride his bicycle down the street is an inspiration and his deep, rich voice as he hammers the velvet has lulled many a blissful soul to sweet repose. He 1ms been incessantly urged to do his grand harmonica and zither combina- tion act with Thomas’s Orchestra, but he is of a retiring disposition and all efforts to draw him from us have proved fruitless. Hannahs, Harry Watt, hails from the thriving community of Adams, N. Y., which figures so prominently in the New York papers. He is an epger searcher for knowledge and promises to develop into a very conspicuous man. toS His good looks which were always his distinguishing feature have been fero- ciously accentuated of late bv the glossy fringe that now graces his upper lip. He is agile and graceful, pleasant and docile and we wish him well. Hawley, Harry Wilder, comes from the west, Minneapolis, Minn., a town near St. Paul. He has made a good name for himself as a baseball player, and as a student of French. He is a hustler, generally genial and kind-hearted and has no bad habits except that he playscribbagea good deal with the French 'professor. Harry has a famous whistle by which he can be known a mile away, which is very useful to him. He is rather boyish fora Junior at Hobart College but may outgrow this in the course of the next hundred years. Jagar, John Carl, is a wild man from South Charleston, S. C. His many attractions have drawn him out of town a good deal, for his dark hair and eyes and captivating personality have made him a winner among the ladies, As business manager of this number of the Echo his name will be handed down to posterity as in the foremost ranks of men of fame. His astonishing aversion to hard work is unfortunate, considering his remarkable natural powers. ICimura, Barnabas Shigehara, came to these classic shades this year from Nikaido, Nara Ken, Japan. Barnabas is noted for the breadth of his smile and his genial way. Socially he has made a great hit. When he first got here he spent a good deal of time writing poetry in Japanese, but it is rumored that as lie gets more and more acclimated he writes less and less poetry. He is a conscientious worker and has a good mind. The light has been seen tinkling in his room rather early in the morning—especially in the poetry days. Lockwood, Henry Mitchell, is from Syracuse. He is especially noted for his light humor and foolish antics. He is also a practical joker. He is study- ing (?) to be a lawyer and may sober down a little in his old age. Harry is interesting, of a good disposition, and one of the most hopeful specimens of our class. His popularity among the fair is only equaled by his popularity among the sterner sex, and at the time of the minstrel show (in which he was the leading light) the glory of his fame spread far out into our suburbs. This is the Mr. Lockwood who was known abroad last fall as the impenetrable cast-iron right tackle of the Hobart football eleven. MeGrew, Fitzhugli, has his home in that miserable hole down in New Jer- sey. Passaic. Fitzhugh is without dispute the prize beauty of the class. He is a conscientious student and in the classics has his eager eye fixed on laurels. The abnormal development of his mind makes him sometimes rather unapproach- able by stars of lesser magnitude, and he has a tendency from his lofty pedestal 109 to frown Mown upon the frivolities of this world. He belongs to the Peri- patetic school. In society he is a prime favorite, both on account of his beauty and his wit. When he is not grouchy he is quite pleasing and affable. Moore, Howard Bedford, of Circleville, Ohio, is a diamond we swiped this year from the crown of Williams. He is an adept at the mandolin and in his own calm and inimitable way takes a prominent place among the social lions of the day. He has brilliant natural capacities which are slightly balanced by an aversion to hard work. Moore. Harry Tunis. This striking gentleman caine from Delevan, Wis. He is chiefly noted for his sympathetic voice which brings tears to the eyes of men, women and children. Dink is very kind-hearted and good-natured as long as he keeps his head, but he has a tendency to become dangerous. As manager of the ball nine this year he is bound to become famous. Partridge, Edward Bellamy, conies from the glorious town of Phelps. He is a famous trick pool-player. Socially he is a charmer of very powerful fas- cination, due perhaps partly to the combination of geniality and bel air in his countenance. He is an artist as yet unknown to fame and in his studies evinces frequent gleams of intelligence. But among the ladies he is simply irresistible and in spite of his tender youth he has already roused in his surg- ing course a wake of broken hearts tossing wildly about. Reinick, Timothy Goodyear, of the lovely town of Geneva, is a handsome young man of great notoriety. Ilis calm smile and easy grace sit well upon the profundity of his countenance. He is ambitious and a great scholar. Tim was never yet seen in a hurry hut he always surprises everybody by com- ing in close on the finish. Reynolds, James Rathbone, of Kfauira, is a promising voung tnan llis beautiful eyes are a constant source of danger to him, but his experience has been large and there isn’t a harder mail to jolly than Dick in all Elmira. He is a gay young gazelle and thinks of going on the variety stage this summer with his great song and dance act. Dick evinces a remarkable proficiency in his studies. Richmond, Gerald Hunt is a Buffalo, man and our handsome and manly president. His noble bearing inspires admiration in all who behold him. He is a paragon and a social king of such prominence that we are unable to speak of his extraordinary powers. Smith, Louis Walton, comes from our thriving neighbor and sis:er city, Rochester. He has been called the best dressed man in college, but ibis is a 110 point over which disputation waxes hot. Louis Walton is noted for his equanimity. He doesn’t let the heavy weights on his mind ruffle the calm surface of his physiognomy. In the past these weights have made themselves felt by holding down his humor, blit nowadays he is getting wittier and wittier all the time. He has lately become athletic and has bought a lacrosse stick. Rogers, Gregory, is a native of this town. His rosy cheeks, happy face, and lisping tongue, especially characterize him. He is a man of marked originality. On the baseball field he is a peach and is going to make this spring the best college ball-nine on Lake Seneca. He can also hit the box in great style, and when it comes to pushing the ivories he can’t be put in the shade. White, Charles. Detroit, Mich., is to be held responsible for this man. With grace and dignity he throws out his manly bosom as he walks along the street. In his studies he is unapproachable. He has a good deal on his mind, and deserves great credit for his equanimity. Windsor, Robert Llovd. Hornellsville, X. Y., claims the honor of having given us this luminous hero. It is with sorrow that we trace his distinguish- ing points for he has left us awhile. He was led at college to the verge of nervous prostration. When with us he was always prominent and the loss of his kind and gracious greeting is keenly felt by us all. We trust he will soon be back to grasp us by the hand. In his studies he was looked up to by all as an authority and was ever full of kindly suggestions to less fecund minds. Snell. Arthur Yeeder, is a man whose character we find not easy to fathom. However, from outward appearances, in disposition he is amiable, and in all things strictly observes the golden rule. 111 We, who are, go clown to the dust of the things that were, We of to-day go down to the ashes of yesterday, Not as men ashamed nor with vaunting nor boastful blare, Having finished the fight as only brave men may. Waged we the war as those their duty of old have done, And to-day we rest on our laurels as rested the men of yore; Rest for a day on our laurels and after the sinking sun, We sink to be forgotten with those who have gone before. Ave! The sun was gold and the road lay long in front ! Vale ! The sun is red and the end of the road has come ! Brief was the space for striving and bitter the battle’s brunt ; Ave and vale are past, and the hailers’ lips are dumb. Go on your way ; forget us, as we may not forget; New faces meet and greet you, to stay for awhile and pass; But grace of a tale that’s told shall linger with us yet. Though garnered and gold the hay, that the morn mistook for grass. I 12 A True Story. Chapter I. A young man started out in the world to make a success of life and first of all he went to College. As he, for the first time, walked through the streets of his College town he saw, in large letters on a boarding house door PUSH.” “This ” said he “will be my motto through College, ‘push,’ I will push my way to success.” Chapter II. Another young man entered the same College at the same time. As he walked through the streets for the first time, he saw on a boarding house door, '‘ pull.” “ Pull ” said he “ will be my motto through College and I’ll pull my way to the front.” Chapter III. The first young man pushed the saw through the knotted stick. lie pushed the other student’s trunks to the depot. He pushed himself to the head of his class. Now he pushes the baby-carriage along the Avenues of Chicago, and is a pushing young Missionary Rector. Chapter IV. The second young man was true to his motto. He pulled on the best Havanas made. He pulled the aces from his sleeves. He pulled the Faculty's leg for an A. B. Now he sits in a luxurious office in the City Hall of New York, and has the biggest pull on the government of all the bosses. L’envoi.

We have received a large quantity of very excellent material for The ECHO and owing to limited room have had tocuL it out. We offer many manu- scripts for sale of which the following are fair samples : “ How I Collected Fifty Dollars for Foreign Missions at Hobart.” By W- A-b—T. This is brief and pithy, full of priceless points pertinent to practice and would be invaluable to Athletic Managers, Managing Editors, etc. We offer it at one dollar. There is money in this. ‘‘What to do in Society.” By P. S-----T-N. This is a work of much discernment and the young author shows great promise. The polish of the Greater New York shines on every page. We recommend it to Freshmen less highly favored than the author, and it is only our magnanimous humanitarian spirit that prompts us to sacrifice these fifty pages of foolscap for fifteen cents. “ How I entered Hobart and How 1 Stayed There.” By A-i.-x G. B-d-nk. It gives us great satisfaction to be able to resuscitate the memory of this lost luminary. His experience is full of touching incidents. It would surely bring drops to the lids of the unsophisticated and we offer it to you at your own price. “ Progress of the Temperance Cause or Twenty Years Putting it Down.” By E. M. H. K-a-p. This sketch is full of fire and brings to light many hidden phases of life not only in our own metropolis, but in many of the outlying districts. It shows a keen perception and sympathy with the many phases of the subject. It is a unique publication and long, and we can’t part with it for less than one dollar. We recommend it to Seniors about to enter business. 9 “ Music.” By Prof. W—L—N. The invaluablencss of this production makes us hesitate to offer it to the public. We all know the Professor and a eulogium upon his work is quite unnecessary. It tinkles with the music of many notes from the Professor’s experience with us. The harmony is often very close, but the grand fortissimo 15 and poco-poco at the end is truly heart lifting. We will offer this manuscript at the trifling price of two dollars. “ Is Life Worth Living ' By F W. K—h. These pages are full of care and thought. The treatise is written on very nice soft paper which could not but he found useful for shaving purposes. We will pay anybody twenty-five cents who will relieve us of this, l’lease do not peruse the pages till after leaving our office. “ The experiences of an Inquisitive Editor with Digest of the Living Church.0 By G. P. B. (Sportive Editor of The Herald, etc.). The personality of the writer illumines every page of this work. We recommend it to anybody who wishes to study the personal characteristics of Mr. B. and especially do we recommend it to the thoughtful perusal of Mr. B. himself. The occasional flashes of modesty and reticence throughout these pages are quite surprising. We offer it to the author for twenty-five cents and to anyone else who may be interested for ten cents. “Thoughts on the Faculty.” By J. R. R-vn-i ds. Bright, pithy, full of fire, we regret very much that we couldn’t add this to the teeming pages of The Echo. The personal sufferings of the author shine out on every page and often rouse the raging flush of sympathy. There are many, many pages of this and we offer it at one dollar. a floppy Man. When all the world seems cold and dark, And men a narrow selfish lot, My thoughts can turn Eline to thee And everything be light to me. And when life’s full of light and hope, With cheerful sunshine through it all, Tis you again Eline I see, % And your kind glance that strengthens me. So be skies dark or be they blue, The world I see is ever fair, One heart I know is ever true, And that can cheer me everywhere. 116 Scientia ei Vis The band was playing furiously and the crowd cheering wildly when the voice of the field marshal rang out through the megaphone, “All out for the five yard dash.” Instantly the athletes appeared in their dressing gowns and ran lightly to the starting point. It was the beginning of the faculty field day and everyone was wild with excite- ment to see who would be the all-round champion for the year. As the athletes threw off their dressing gowns, the crowd went wild with delight to see that AtrrXe ax, the cap- tain of the 97 football team, was in condition again and would strive for the coveted honor of all-round champion. At last the starter was ready and as the pistol sounded six sturdy athletes tore off down the five yards to the finish. AiTrXefx x steadily pulled ahead and at a foot from the finish had a safe lead. The air was rended for a few moments by hats and greek texts as AirrXeAtax crossed the line with Ilamysmith a close second. Time 12 ozs., 3 grams. Next came the 3-mile jump. This event was D-f’s easily. Sallust Simonides and Cur tis were also entered in this event but they had no show. On the last jump ?v D-f tried for the record, but instead of jumping in a y f 4ax, he tried a j ' = 1. This almost caused an accident for he was carried on the Hyperbola almost to infinity ; however, with great presence of mind he seized the asymtote asheneared it, and slid down to earth again- The crowd went insane when they saw him coming down, and when he struck the ground four miles and 32 seconds from the start, cheer after cheer woke the echoes which had been sleeping since the last freshman beer. I cannot pass over the twenty-three pnrasang bicycle race which was the most II7 exciting of all the events. AtrrXcAtax, 7v M-f, Sallust Simonides, Cur tis, Turk, commonly known as the “Whirlwind,” and “Archie” Silver known as the “Cannon Ball” were all entered. Soon after the start the hunch of riders singled out into file with Air-rXe iax and his “ iron horse ” in the lead. Mis muscles could he seen on his arms as plainly as the rings around Neptune, as he strained every nerve to keep the lead. Sallust Simonides, though not having a bicycle, had constructed a hobby (horse) out of stolen beer bottles and was rushing along a close second. “Archie” Silver, in one of his reckless spurts for which he is famous, ran into Cur tis and punctured his tire on Cur tis’ beard. This put both of them out of the race. As D-f rounded a sharp curve he swallowed some of his famous “anti-no-tobae,” which he has not been without since it revived him last year in the football game, and by the aid of this made a gallant spurt and finished just 3 hours and 22 minutes ahead of Sallust Simonides who was a close second. The time was 13 cubic miles and 14 stadia. As there was nobody but Cur tis in the walls he decided to try for a record and by his enormous strides covered the distance of one mile in the record-breaking time of 6 minutes and 4,827,962 seconds. There is neither time nor space to tell of the other wonderful feats that were accomplished, but by his steady nerve and great strength I)-f. won the longed for honor of champion for the year. “ Jan.” Neighbors. Over the way in her window, Busily bending her head, Sally is working with patience, Plying her needle and thread. Little she thinks that 1 watch her, Little she knows of my flame, 'Tis too dainty and lovely a picture To pul in such commonplace frame. 118 Es I kit Nichf Gotten Sein! From the German of Scheffel. In life, alas, unlovely is it ordered That by the rose there rises aye the thorn, And all the poor heart for itself lias fostered Dark separation laughs to bitter scorn. Once when I looked in thy dear eyes unseeing There shone a ray of love and joyance free, God keep thee, love ; it were too fair a vision ! God keep thee, love ; it was not so to be ! Hurt, envy, hate, from all have I received them, A storm-racked weary wanderer am I ; Dreamed I of peace and hours of restful quiet, To thy dear face the dark road led me nigh. In thy dear arms how gladly would I shelter And thankful, consecrate my life to thee ! God keep thee, love; it were too fair a vision ! God keep thee, love ; it was not so to be ! The storm-clouds low’r, the wind sighs through the branches, The rain across the wood and plain is hurled ; To say “good-bye” ah, fair enough the weather— Dark as the storm before me lies the world. Yet as it chances or for good or evil, Still, dearest one, thy noble truth I see. God keep thee, love; it were too fair a vision ! God keep thee, love; it was not so to be ! G. G. Ballard, Jr. rw() Letters I. He was writing hard. Wrapped up in the work before him he scarcely seemed to note the large number of pages his rapid pen was covering. Thirteen —fourteen—fifteen pages. He pauses. “Three months before June: How long it seems. If only she lived up here, if—well, here at least is a comfort— 1 can write.” So down drops his head again and on plunges his pen. At last it is done, carefully folded, placed in an envelope, sealed, and put down on his table beside the other letter he wrote in the forenoon. From the mantel- piece he takes down a picture, gazes at it intently, and kisses it vehemently again and again. With a sigh he gets his coat, addresses the two letters, and steps out hurriedly to mail them. IT. Far away in the South-land a young maiden on a cool veranda, plucking to pieces the flowers on her lap, thinks of one, of one whom she—well, of one whom she is interested in. As she pouts her pretty mouth and taps her little foot on the floor crying “ Why doesn’t that postman hurry? “it is clear she expects something important today. At last he comes. Eagerly she snatches a letter from his hand and runs to a nearby seat beneath a giant oak. But what is this? A shadow of disappointment steals across her face and as she reads further and further on her gleaming smile changes into a look of extreme dejection. She thrusts the longed for letter into her pocket and walks slowly towards the house. III. A tall southern beauty rides leisurely along on a stout bay through the pines of Georgia. She murmurs “ Surely I shall get a letter from John today. He promised to tell me all about his plans for the summer. I do hope he will do as I asked him.” She finds herself soon before the small village post-office and before she can alight from her horse a little colored boy runs out and places a sealed letter in her hands. Hastily she tears it open and on her [20 first glance at the head line begins to laugh merrily. She turns her horse quickly, gives him a sharp cut with the whip, and gallops off with her merry laugh still ringing in the ears of the astonished colored lad. IV. “ Hello fellows, has the mail come up yet” said John Winters to a group of students in front of Geneva Hall. “ No, but you seem to be very anxious about that mail. What’s the matter, letter from your girl? ” 11 Oh no ! just expecting a cheque that’s all.” Just then the postman came and John rushed off to his room with two letters in his hand. He tore open the first and it ran: Dear John : Your letter was simply delightful. So glad you say you will do anything I ask. It is very good of you, and you are just the brother on earth, etc., etc.— Your loving sister Martha. “That’s rather funny” said John, “ I told her I had decided to goto Europe for the summer and couldn’t possibly do as she wished ! ” Then he opened the other letter, read the first few lines and dropped groan-, ing into his chair. The letter ran : Mr. John Winters, Dear Sir:— Your letter refusing to grant the slight favor I requested has been received. You call me sister and I have certainly given you no authority for such an address. I have returned all your letters and request that you consider all previous ties between us to be broken. Elizabeth M. Van Dyke. Said Burlie to Moore, Why o’er Greek do we pour, We’ll get up our prose together ; Said lie, that’s a go Now in class do I know We’ll display not q single white feather. So to class they went, To the board Burlie’s sent, They were soon taken out of the clover; As Professor Mac said With a nod of his head, Burleson’s work, Mr. Moore, please look over. 121 People We Know. It’s very pathetic To see an aesthetic Grubbing at classical roots. Why martyr ter tenses Those delicate senses, And elegant tailor-made suits. There was a professor called Mac Who had a remarkable knack Of spoiling a blulT Which seemed sure enough— This sceptical scholar called Mac. Wev’e got a professor named Turk, Whose smile is his principal work, For careless young freshies With deftly laid meshes Of unannounced “tests” prone to lurk. A teacher of ethical lore Said I’ll show you young men how to roar ! He opened his mouth, And forty miles south Folks raised their umbrellas for a pour. There once was a teacher named Curtis Who dreadfully feared he might hurt his Dignified mien. He turned simply green If a child seemed the least bit — dis Curtis. Here’s to President Jones, The pride of all the zones. In spite of his beauty He sticks to his duty, Tho’ he ain’t got no use for drones. 122 There is a young student named Plu-m-r In Society lie is a hummer, In his natty golf suit He is certainly cute; Tho’ lie’s not quite so stocky as some are. A jovial young junior is Harry He knows how much booze he can carry, So of whiskies and such He doesn’t take much And by the vile bar doesn’t tarry. Our most renowned athlete is A tty On fame’s highest pinnacle sat he, Where perceiving Hobart Thither straight way did start A bruiser big-boned at the eat he. Our D-rl-ng is sober and wise. To keep in the strait way he tries. He seems wont to choose To express his own views Regardless of tint, weight, or size. Hrownie H-sw-l’s as fine as you’ll strike Round the track on his wonderful bike. One would think at first view That his wheel on him grew. We ’re afraid that we’ll ne'er see his like. A pious young senior named Wavne Went out with his class to raise caiti, And when he got back The cops on his track Put his mind in a terrible strain. Mr. K—h is a splendid young man, Tho’ rather inclined to the can. With his manner so spry, In his stunning red tie He puts the girls under his ban. 123 We have in our class a wise Jap, Who keeps his brains always on tap. In the class in morality, ’Tis a startling reality, He never got caught in a nap. A learned young Junior named W-t Was thought to be somewhat in fault. So our Faculty grim. Sat down hard on him. And his wild ways were brought to a halt. Mr. W-ls-n has many great cares, As his dignified bearing declares. Where could he have bred it ? He merits much credit, For the sweet manly smile that he wears. Three cheers for our own gamy Gid ; For although lie’s a great big kid, Its delightfully coolish, He’s so utterly foolish, Thor he’ll never get out when lie’s bid. Oh where is the man that’s able to teach The bearing so bold of beautiful R-cli ? The ladies declare, As they see his bel air, Well maybe lie’s proud, but AIN’T he a peach?” 24 Couplets.

She shook her head and sighed, “Alas ! for feline wishes, for hopes thwarted and hearts broke. Here I sit, a mere shadow of my former self—that proud self Hie joy and inspiration of all who came into contact with me. My influence is gone, my prestige fallen. No more do these classic walls echo and re-echo with the joysome songs and gladsome harmonies of old. What has hap- pened? Where is the spirit of good-fellowship, of laughter and song of the old days? Has a reign of terror begun? We cannot have a bon-fire or a convivial keg, without the Furies descending upon us. We may not cut chapel on All Fools’ Day nor even stretch our lungs in yelling. Indeed, I hear it rumored that they intend to snatch away my beautiful purple and orange necklace and substitute one of magenta sky-blue for it. But I sliall cling on to it till “Seneca ” freezes over. Alas ! Alas ! I know not what remains for me. My spirit droops and yearns for the old days of song and jolity, of good-fellowship and conviviality. Let my spirit pass into oblivion, and remember only the old days, the days of “ Beeswax ” and “ Goody-Two-Shoes.” Aha ! There goes the philosopher. That wrapt countenance and swinging gate betray that he has an idea. And Sally with him ! If she could only raise that eight cents ! Or is it the Valet that approacheth—no, 'tis really Sally. My eyesight is geiting dim, yet me- thinks I see blue coat-tails Happing in the breeze behind a bicycle. It lias a grouch to-day—lookout, Freshmen, that means an extra v in chemistry. Again, “Sister Ann,” I see two fairies clad in gray, the one fat, the other thin; they flit from room to room and emerging quickly, followed by a tornado of dust—’tis the two new janitresses making their weekly rounds. Let me fly hence quickly, for no human mortal can stand their brooms or their tongues. Were it not for genial old “ Jan.” that steady stay of students and of me, we should all, ere now—ach 1—dodge that broom ! 127 Why Don’t “ Cupid ” Parmenter take anti-fat, Is Buggie Blackwell an aristocrat; Will some fellows to Waterloo go, Does Georgie Ballard study so ; Were the Seniors escorted home, Does our dear Prex, so like to roam ; Did “Pat” shear his rippling locks, Does “Bobby” wear such very loud ----------; Don’t Plummer quit swinging the usual bluff, Don’t some people know when they’ve got enough ; Does “ Atkie ” wear such a fierce mustache, Does Paul try to cut such a dash ; Do people laugh at Lockies jokes, Are we afraid of Mack when he soakes; Does a man work when a bluff will do, I don’t believe he does ’tween me and you; Why such things are such and so, Star light tell us and we’ll know. When Will Wayne set the world on fire, Will Chapel be the soul’s edifier; Will “Bug” get his parchment sere, Will Koch take orders and stop taking beer; Will Guy B. cease his self-contemplation, Will Brownie repudiate that appellation ; Will Leightie learn to preach Christianity, Will K. Blodgett learn to love humanity ; Will Little Mack not be so very sarcastic, Will “Durf” not take measures so very drastic; Will Dennie and Gus revenge the Maine, Will Dick swear off swearing off again ; Will Jan overwork and Stet learn to study, Will Geneva streets dry up and cease to be muddy; Gabriel’s dread horn I’m sure will blow, Before such things here below are so. 128 I he organ. I hear the solemn organ’s mellow roll: Like billows surging on the ocean shore, The lordly peal swells louder than before, And fdls the sanctuary of my soul. The mournful echo of a bell’s deep toll, The tramping tumult of the tempest’s roar, The songs of millions rising to adore, Were blended in the sounds that upward stole. The violin's soft wail, the flute’s low moan, The drum’s loud thunder and the trumpet’s blare That make the orchestra a storm of tone, Are heard in auditorium, street and square ; The organ chants the praise to God alone, And, like a monk devotes itself to prayer. I floated o’er a summer sea, The morning breeze blew wild and free, The smooth, blue rollers bowled along, And shook the shore in boistrous song, A song that welcomed me. Across the bay with curving sail, The yachts drove on before the gale; They shook the water from their prows, Like jewels shining ’neath the bows, Or dashing o’er the rail. I breathed the bracing, briny air. The sea gulls darted here and there, I drifted o’er the boundless deep, The waves were lulling me to sleep, And gone was every care. 129 K. H. w. Quotations.

The hope the one has wrought us The other bids depart; And sorrow takes her sceptre, And sits with sealed ears Where sound has sunk to silence, And laughter’s lost in tears. Oh, love, all unavailing, Are silence and sad tears, And bitter deep bewailing, And yearning for past years! Ah, word too rashly spoken, Ah, word beyond recall, Mow long the thoughts that bore thee They had not borne at all! Prof. Durfee : “ What are the functions of o° ?” Bachman (after prolonged silence): “Oh ! I know, there aint any.” Ballard in German : “I must confess, professor, there’s a good deal of guess work in this for me—but I don’t suppose there is for you.” Prof. McDaniels : “ Mr. Lockwood, in your superior wisdom and knowl- edge of the manifold intricacies of Greek syntax, will you favor the class with your exalted opinion on this point ?” Lock.: “ Professor, I’m not guilty.” r3 Fcivorife Awake my soul and with the sun, A charge to keep I have, Come my soul thou must be waking, Above the clear blue sky, Glorious things of thee are spoken, Hark a thrilling voice is sounding, King of saints, ....

In solemn conclave met the Hobart Faculty, Of men than whom no wiser e’er the Freshman’s steps Along the rough and rugged path of knowledge led. Around the polished table sat the twelve like Arthur’s Knights ; Of justice strong defenders and the righters of all wrongs. Then looked the president sagacious round and said : “ Reverend Sirs, we meet to-night a serious duty To perform—from Hobart's walls we must a man cast out. Not lightly hath he sinned. As well doth show this fact, That not two weeks ago .he hath my word gainsaid, To that vile burg of Bonaparte he hath twice strayed And him, doth base ambition lead to seek support Within the church who even now on others lives. The old regime I grant did wink at such behavior, But not so I for this is not the old regime. So reverend sirs, your views and thoughts on this I beg.’ He spake, then rose a man with visage dark and cloudy And he said, “Yea this is he that many essays back, From me hath held. So let him be expelled or else Show proof of knowledge by exam, or extra V.’’ Thus he spoke. Then rose the hearty Dean and said, Tho’ well disposed toward all humanity just now, I think we should not be too lax in discipline, To my reception will I him quite soon invite.” So sat him down the jovial man and smiled, Nor saw they fall a dainty missive sweet-perfumed. Then he called “Sally” quick sprang up and blew a blast Of Smoke Egyptian towards the bangs that curled above: “ This villian oft my best tobacco smoked and then Behind my back hath railed at me and hath made sport Of my ability in music. Send him hence!” Thus he spoke ami then arose a bearded youth, 142 Of sordid mien in long-tailed coat and trousers short. Y-clad. “ Methinks that once this churl was slow to take The seat to him assigned, as these in prep-schools do.” A stalwart man in accents queer then spoke and said, “This man did once an accent wrongly place in French, And so I think he is not worthy to remain.” But now the young philosopher began to speak And dipped in psychics and in Ethics deep and showed, IIow man is creature of environs and explained, In discourse long the moral ideals’ vast import. Then ceased. But he whom Alleinaniac some call In words most smooth the cause of him accused upheld. And then it seemed that he was even now condemned ; As to his feet arose the “autocrat.” lie said 11 Or yap Sokciv api TT0S, a ' emu OeXet, And so persuaded them; such was this man's great power, But last of all that grand good man whose fertile brain Wise counsel e’er produced, the eldest of them all His lips did ope and slowly spake—“ Come ! Come ! good sirs, ’Tis true this youth hath erred much and oft disturbed My wonted calmness. But by years of observation I have learned that boys will be boys and I myself Belonged to the same species as did we all of us.”— So all was said and then the president sagacious Spake : “It seems that now our work is o’er to-night I hoped that I should not be lacking in support. What projects for new buildings and new rules can I Effect without your concurrence? This meeting I adjourn, And trust that yet the day will come when a word from me Shall super-eminent, haste to its quick completion. 43 Snap Shots.

Upon the banks of Seneca Our Alina Mater stands, Dispensing learning’s golden store With firm bat gen’rous hands; Her locks are gray, her mind is old With sense and talent blest, And those who know her face to face Are those who love her best. Chorus—Hip ! Hip ! Hip ! Hobart ! We sing with all our heart, Till life’s sunset we’ll ne'er forget Our college home Hobart. She takes us trembling freshmen, in, Our nags we soon bestride, Through Roman woods and Grecian fields Right gaily do we ride; Our second year old Trig so grim Doth haunt each dread exam. And History, and English too, Make each poor Soph’more cram.—Chorus When junior year hath come and gone We’ve learned our Psychic states ; We fling our Physics to the dogs, Our logic to the fates. With germs of Philosophic wit Our Senior head expands, When Alma Mater sends us forth With sheepskin in our hands.—Chorus � 45 4 4 ... c .- v C; R Hndcs Stoves and Ranges, Best in the Oorld.
