ISSUED MAY, MDCCCXCIX CpuCXr ITO • 1 To our loved and respected senior professor, HAMILTON LANPHERE SMITH, this volume is affectionately dedicated as a token o{ our esteem. Prof. H. L. Smith It is with, great pleasure that we dedicate this volume of the JCcflo to Professor H. L. Smith, Hobart’s Senior Professor; and knowing the deep interest that all connected with Hobart feel in him, we have gotten together a few facts connected with his life and work that may aid to show how well he deserves that interest. Hamilton Lanphere Smith was born at New London, Connecti cut, Nov. th, i8t8. Here he lived- until he was sixteen years old when he entered, as freshman, the class of ’39, Yale. Even in his school-boy years he began to show an aptitude for scientific and mathematical pursuits and constructed a telescope of no small size with which lie made some tolerably accurate observations. These school-boy tendencies were encouraged by liis father who presented him, upon his entering college, with a large and handsome telescope. Many of his classmates are men well known in the world. Among them may be mentioned Kbenezer P. Mason, Charles Bristed, author of ‘'Four Years at an English University Ilenry K. Coppee, Professor of Literature at' Lehigh University; Senator Henry L. Dawes ; Henry R. Jackson, once U. S. Minister to Austria ; J. G. Lamed, afterwards Professor at Yale; Chas. J. Stille, Provost of University of Perm., and Rev. Francis ■Wharton, Professor at Kenyon and afterwards at Cambridge Theological Seminary, the two last mentioned being the authors of the standard work on criminal jurisprudence. Contemporaneous with him were Senator W. M. Evarts, David Tappan Stoddard, who died at Ooromialr, Persia, and the Rev. Dr. J. P. Thomson. Ebeuezer Porter Mason, who died in 1840 and whose biography has been written by Prof. Olinstead, and Mr. Swhth were class friends, doing much of their astronomical work together and at one time having entire charge of the Yale observatory. Their observations of Hal- ley’s comet received special notice among the leading scientific journals of the day and those on certain nebulae, published in the transactions of the American Academy of Science at Philadelphia, were highly commended by Sir John Herschel, as beiug the most reliable nebulas observations given up to that time. These observations were all made with a telescope constructed 4 by Mr. Smith during his last term at college and which was then the largest telescope in America. Owing to business reverses his father was compelled to withdraw' him from college during the last term of his Sophomore year. The family had moved to Cleveland, Ohio, where Mr. Smith went into business with his father. Here he studied out of business hours, keeping up with his class at Yale and finally, when he was enabled to return to college, he re-entered with his class in its senior year, passing all his examinations on back work and graduating with the class in 1839. During his senior year he was elected a member of the Connecticut Academy of Arts and Sciences. After leaving Yale he returned to Cleveland and remained there for ten years in the forwarding and commission business but never lost his interest in the sciences and still kept up his researches in microscopy, astronomy, geology, etc. He also, experimented in photography, producing some of the first Daguerreotypes, using for a camera merely a cigar box and spectacle lenses. Even with this primitive apparatus he was very successful and subsequently he invented the so-called, tin-types. During his stay in Cleveland he was elected to membership iu several scientific societies, both at home and abroad and, moreover, published a number of scientific articles and treatises which made him well known it) the scientific world. ■ He prepared also, a text book—“A Natural Philosophy for the Use of Schools and Academies,” published first at Cleveland and subsequently in New York, which was accepted and widely used by the schools of the country. Another geological and astronomical work—11 The World,” was published soon after and reached a sale in this country of six thousand copies. His telescopic work, meanwhile, was not being neglected for we find him mentioned by Prof. Loomis of Yaie in “The Progress of Modern Astronomy ”. as being the first in this country to discover the comet of 1844, Sept. 10th. While in Cleveland he was active in founding the Cleveland Academy of Science, now the Kirkland Academy, and in encour- aging the sciences to the. best of his ability, and was elected Professor of Chemistry at one of the medical colleges. In 1850 he gave up the produce business and entered the book establish- ment of Smith, Knight Co. Two years later he accepted the call to the chair of Natural Philosophy and Astronomy at Kenyon College, Gambler, Ohio. Here he was in his proper element and devoted his time to his studies and duties there until 186S, when he accepted the call to the chair of Natural Philosophy and Astronomy at Hobart. While at Kenyon Prof. Smith constructed there the then largest telescope in America. It had a reflector twenty-five inches in diameter and was twenty-five feet long. 5 At Hobart Prof. Smith found himself handicapped by a lack of instru- ments, all he could find here being a pile of dust-covered, ru3ty ones stowed away in a room in Geneva Hall, He immediately began working to get things in order and to erect a good observatory. In this work he was aided most efficiently by Samuel G. Cornell, Esq,, of Buffalo, Mrs. Dean Rich- mond of Batavia and Bishop Coxe, with, the result that we have at present a substantial observatory, a good physical laboratory and necessary apparatus for a good collegiate course in Natural Philosophy and Astronomy. Abroad Prof. Smith is best known by his microscopical studies of the Dialomaceas and the classification and arrangement of this group of Crypto- gramic algae published at Chicago in 1872. His classification has been adopted by Count Castricane (the naturalist of the Challenger Expedition) i« the large quarto volume issued by the British government; also by the well known scientist. Dr. Van Beurck of Belgium, in his work, Synopsis Des Diaiomes De Belgique, and by other microscopical publications. At this time Prof. Smith’s collection of diatoms was the largest in this country as also was his library of microscopical literature. Among the various societies of which Prof. Smith is a member may be mentioned the Connecticut Academy of Sciences; Lyceum of Natural History, New York (now the N. Y. Academy of Sciences); Boston Society of Natural History; Microscopical Society of Edinburgh; Queckett Micro- scopical Club of London; Belgian Microscopical Society ; Honora 'Fellow of the Royal Microscopical Society of London, and several smaller societies. His degree of LL.D. was received from Trinity College in 1871. For thirty-one years Prof. Smith has been connected with this institu- tion and he has at all. times proved himself to be one of its main stay's. Especially was this the case in the period during the seventies when affairs in the college were at such a low ebb. The college owes him a debt of gratitude which it can never repay. And we are but expressing the thought of both Alumni and undergraduates when we say, that for many years more we hope to see Hamilton Lanphere Smith as “ Senior Professor at Hobart College.” 6 Board of Editors Literary Board JULIUS CHRISTIAN SOSNOWSKI, K A, Editor-in-Chief.

We have launched forth our frail little craft—The Echo of 1900—into a stormy sea, we fear. Already we hear in advance the first rumblings of a mighty .tempest of criticism which is about to break over our devoted heads. Grant us not justice but mercy, we beg. To '99 we extend our greeting and our heart- felt sympathy for having to leave these quiet walls to go out and battle with the world. We have now been in college with them for three years and have not yet come to the bottom of their good qualities. It is needless to say how we all shall .miss them. “Here ’s to them and all their families—may they live long and prosper.” And to old Hobart we can only wish that she may continue as she has continued—high in scholar- ship and morals, as well as in athletics.

And buy me a boat with wliat assets are left (You are right [ they are little I ween ■.) But it needn’t be large, be it schooner or barge, ' So long as it shelters fourteen Wits keen — So long as it shelters fourteen. Then Til take that sweet Faculty, bearing my name And Noah them down to the ark.; I’ve long craved a change, and they need wider range For their talents long hid in the dark. Poor (lark !

To write of the deeds of a Senior class is to tell the story, to a great extent, of the College for four yearn. The different events that come to mind as one looks over four years of College life have had their share in making the College better or worse. Ninety-nine is confident that her history lias been part of the history of progress, not decadence in old Hobart. Her members have been most prominent in every form of College activity. And it is not vain boasting to assert that every enterprise under Ninety-nine’s auspices has been managed in a manner worthy of applause. Tn her under-classmcii years, she found worthy foemen in Ninety- eight and Nineteen hundred but never was her fair fame dishonored in mid- night scrap or class contest. The Cane and the Faculty Cup are -witnesses of her prowess. In scholarship her place is primus inter pares. Never has she faltered in devotion to the highest ideals of college-life and student manhood. Ninety-nine owes much to those men who have joined her ranks since she entered Hobart. Likewise,' in these last days of her College existence, she remembers those whom adverse fortune has withdrawn from her number. Wherever they are, whatever may be their lot, she believes that their lives are nobler and their aims higher for the time passed in Alina Mater’s walls. And now about to step out into the wide, wide world and take up the battle of life, Ninety mine renews her pledge of loyal tj' to old Hobart, and assures her Alma Mater of the continuance of that devotion so noticeable in her College career.

The history of the past year has not been one bristling with events for the Junior Class. The Sophomores and the Freshmen have had their class scraps and their banquets and their games—the Seniors are looking forward to getting their Sheepskins and to leaving College, but the Juniors have neither the scraps nor the sheepskins to disturb them and so look down with indul- gent smile on' the struggling under-classmen—the Freshman standing with linger in his mouth and awe on his face gazing upon the lordly Senior on his pedestal, the Sophomore striving to retain the foothold he has found on the bottom of the shaft. The Junior has already had a peep over the edge of the shaft and has seen that the Senior foot looks very much like other peoples1, and now he awaits the time when he too shall be mounted on a pedestal and shall be worshiped by all around. Nineteen hundred’s numbers are smaller than ever this year, but it has been said that often the best goods are put up in the smallest bundles. Whether this be so or not in our case, we leave it to our contemporaries to judge. A little sketch of the career of our class may help them to judge so we draw one here for their convenience. Nineteen Hundred entered Hobart seventeen strong. The tale of her numbers swelled until at one time it reached twenty-one, but soon owing to sick- ness, etc., it fell oil again. In all its class contests it was handicapped by the pancity of numbers. Still, it made a good showing in them all and left its opponent no room for bragging. It has furnished more than its quota of men for the athletic teams and has not been backward in the scholastic departments. About its moral and intellectual attainments, however, we leave it to others to judge as it might seem conceited in us to say what we think. This year, so far, there has been opportunity for nothing more than steady grind and the way that ’00 has ground has surprised some of those who know her best. All the professors will be witnesses of this fact. As a historian and a prophet are two different animals, 1900 8 historian will not attempt to go into the predicting business, much as he would like to prognosticate all sorts and conditions of good things for his class. So thank- ing all those who take the trouble to read his effusion he remains, yours truly, The Historian. 30 Junior Class ’00 Colors—Maroon and Light Green, tst Term Yell— T;n De Viginti Centum- Zip Boom Bah!

This year twenty-six men. rally round her red and white colors, and though since first we entered Hobart fifteen men have dropped out of our ranks, the column has closed up and marched on. We won the cane rush in both Freshman and Sophomore years. Our class battles have been fought valiantly, and in the majority of our con- tests we have been victorious. The Freshmen last Fall saved their pennies� denied themselves candy and peanuts and paid a man two dollars to nail their dag to the College flag-staff in accordance with the well-known precept. Throughout the day we struggled hard, and were winners of several scraps, but the icy pole was too much for us and time was flying, as usual, and the sun going down upon our anger, we submitted to the inevitable. Our class is well represented in athletics, and in the class room we also have won distinction. The.Word Book died with our Freshman year, a fact for which future generations will thank us. Since the class of nine-five we have been the only class which has held a Sophomore banquet. There was a hot time in the old town the night of January twenty-sixth. Kvery man who had intended to come was there and also two members of 1902 who had not intended to be present. We stand midway in our college course. Behind us is a vista of pleasant memories ; before us is a shining pathway towards the goal. Historian, 34 Hi I'.l Sophomore Class ’01 Colors—Crimson and White.

In presenting it, we realize tliat class histories, especially those of tlie Freshmen, are too often class eulogies. Consequently, this history will contain merely a record of the important events of the past year and from these events, the reader may deduce an opinion of ’02's class and College spirit. When we entered Geneva last September, we were informally introduced to Hobart, its customs, and its grounds, by the Sophomores. Everybody was pleased with everything—except the Sophomores who were sorry that the most important night scrap was decided in favor of 02. Soon after College opened, the Freshman formally organized their class ; and after the Freshman Beer’ had rfemoved all feeling, the inter-class events were held. In the one-hnndred-yard dash, ’02 secured the' first two places in each heal, thus'winning the victor}7 without any final heat. The baseball game, in which the Sophomores “retired after the sixth inning, was eleven to five in favor of the Freshmen. On the following day, cam e the cane-rush in which the Sophomores gained the victory in a hard and we 11-fought struggle. The football game which was to have followed the cane-rush, has never taken place because the Sophomore team has failed to materialize. The next important event in our class history, was the banner scrap. The banner announcing the date of the Freshman election had been fastened to the ilag-pole and the Sophomores made three fruitless attempts to get it down. The scrap was f ‘fast and furious ’ and was pronounced one of the best that Hobart has ever seen. The participants and the witnesses can never forget that blinding wind. and. sriow, and that crowd of human forms surging around the pole. However, the Sophomores failed in each attempt and the banner remained on the pole for the required twenty-four hours. On the following da}7, the Freshmen, without any molestation, held their first class election. Thus our first year at Ilobart has passed. These few events show' the amount and intensity of class spirit existing between ’or and 02, Concerning the College spirit of ’02, it is sufficient to say that Freshmen take part in every college organization and have started a literary society which, it is hoped, will increase the literary spirit at Hobart. Also Freshmen are on all Athletic teams. Four regular players and three substitutes on the football team, four candidates for the lacrosse team and ten candidates for the baseball team are Freshmen, By these Fresh men-year events, a favorable pla ce in the annals of Hobart classes has been accorded to’02.

Tbe A A X $, and $ K 'Sr , never had chapter houses here. In 1854 the Beta of Kappa Alpha of Mew York withdrew from the college, but was reestablished in the spring of 1879. In i860 a society called the Secret Order of Chi Phi had its origin at Hobart. It united in 1867 with another society of the same name which had been founded in Princeton University in 1854. In 1874 this “Northern order of Chi Phi united with the “Southern order of Clii Phi,11 which had been founded at the University of North Carolina in 1858� thus forming the Chi Phi Fraternity. The 'Plieta Delta Chi was established here by a 9 A X, from Union College, and the Sigma Chi by a 2 X, from the University of Wisconsin. There have been many local and many bogus societies here at Hobart, some of which lived for quite a number of years, but all are now dead. Among them I have been able to find some trace of the following: $ A2, AK, E. F., Z K, S., A 2, r T, A 2 2, 0 M A. The local Z , was ahsorbed by the establishment of the 0 A X, all of whose charter members had belonged to the Z 4 The badge of the Zeta Phi was a monogram pin of gold, formed by the superposition of a Zeta over a Phi.

A. 80 Hobart Monthlies Hobart has never had a weekly publication, at least there is no record of one, but she has had three monthlies. The first of these, of which only one copy is now extant, was an octavo printed at the Courier office, Geneva, ■ N. Y. Its title page bears the following:— The Collegian's Magazine, Edited and Published by the Students of Hobart Free College ’ The names of the Editorial Board are not given. This magazine had a very short life, only a few numbers appearing. The number now in the posses- sion of the library is dated December iS52. y In the collegiate year 1872 73, there was Issued with some regularity The Hobart Sentinel ' 'a monthly magazine conducted by the students of Hobart College.” This also was an octavo of which six uumbers were printed, viz.: October, November, and December 1872, and January, Febru- ary, and April 1873. The board of editors consisted of G. .A. Carstfeusen, F, P. Harrington, 6 A X, G. N, Eastman, O. J, C. Rose, 2 and F. W. Hale. On March 15th, 1879, appeared the fir fit number of The Hobart Herald which has been published with more or less regularity ever since. The sub- joined table gives a summarized history of The Herald. Volumes I. to VI. inclusive begin with the month of March and close with the following ' February. In March ’85 appeared a Herald which is called Vol. VII. No. i, and the chairman of whose Boards are as follows : Senior Editor, Chas. A, Kienzle, Editor-in Chief, Ward H. Johnson, 2 $ , Business Manager, Alfred Ten Eyck, K A, The next Herald, which is also called Vol. VTT., No. 1, was not issued until Oct 26th, 1885. Its Editoral Board was as stated for Vol, VII. in the following table. Vol. VII closed with the April num- ber, and the volumes from then to and including Vol, XIII ran from May, through the following April. In 1892 no May number was issued, and from that time to the present the volumes of the Herald have opened with the June and closed with the May number. In the following table where more than one name appears under one heading for any year, it means that the men so named held the specified office in succession. B., 1900, 81 1 O § D 1 r 1 .

Genealogy of the Echo The notes regarding the following table may be of interest. . Vols. I. to VII inclusive were published by the Sophomore class. All volumes since VII have been published by the Junior class, AH volumes save Vol, VI have been published, by the class as a class; but Voh VI was published by the Sophomore members of the four fraternities then represented at Hobart, viz., A A $, 2 4?, 0 A X and X I Vols. I, II and III are folios; Vol. 3 V and those following it are octavos.

The play given by the Dramatic Club at the Smith Opera house ou the •night of June 19th, 1898, was very successful. The house was full, and all the spectators enjoyed the production quite as much as ever amateur p rod uctio us are e u j oyed. Th e cost ume s of the pla y evs were esp ecial 1 y st r ik - ingand continually distracted the attention of the audience from the play itself. The acting was remarkable, especially when we consider the short time during which the play was rehearsed. Although “Borrowed Plumes” was a farce the actors succeeded in mak- ing it a very .serious one. More than once the audience was moved deeply by the superb acting; and laughter and tears were in close proximity throughout the whole play. Only the greatest self control prevented the spectators from breaking down more than once ; their shrieks of laughter at every quip and sally on the stage showed how highly they were worked up. Each of the characters was well taken and well acted, all the actors being well known as stars in their line. After the intense mental strain both actors and audience were glad to adjourn to the campus for the burning of Calculus. 90 Harry T. Moore, F. D. WnmvKLT,, { W. S. Stevens, f Choir Master. Organists.

The class of ’02 have beyond all cavil the record for promptness and excellence in the conduct of their class affairs as is well exemplified in the conduct of their banquet, which took place on the thirty-first of last September on the the roof garden of the observatory. The event had been kept a profound secret by the committee on affairs even from their own class so that when the call came for supper most of the class had to be hunted up in great haste to prevent the dainties from getting cold. No one else in college suspected that such a thing was going oil until one of the Seniors who is interested in Astronomy, on opening the windows which cover the telescope happened to overturn the immense tin punch bowl of ice water which held the place of honor on the crest of the dome. As soon as he discovered what was going on, the Senior pro- ceeded to wake the Sophomore class, and incidentally the Junior, in order to break up the banquet. The Freshmen however were too safely ensconsed upon the roof to care for any of the efforts of their opponents and even offered to lower them a ladder in order that they might climb up. The invitation was not accepted however, and all the rest of the college stood about anti watched the feast from afar off. The Freshmen thuvs carried on their banquet unmolested and were received with acclamation after it was over for the clever way in which it had been managed. The service was good, the toasts excellent, and the menu which follows, unsurpassed ill the history of the college. The menu speaks for itself. Menu Whole I,obster on Toast. Army beef. Young Kid. Loggerhead Turtle on whole Shell. Celery. Cabbage. Salted Almouds. Green Persimmons. Pepper Sauce, Pop Corn, Aux eufants. Mulberries iu Salt. White Spring Water. Aerated Milk. Roast Beef. Pork. (One cigarette was passed around but was too strong—the class couldn’t stand it.) 95 The Junior Prom, this year was, thanks to the efforts of the chairman, a complete success in spite of the small number of 1900. Dancing began at ten v. m, and slopped at half-past four. The hall was tasteful ly decorated and the floor was in good shape. As all dancers know what a pleasant combination a good floor, good music and good partners form, it is needless to go into an account of how much the dance was enjoyed by all. In all there were thirty-three dances and a host of encores. COU-JNS HALL, FRIDAY EVENING, APRIL 21, 1899, Patronesses Mrs. William Siosson, Mrs. H. M. Eddy, Mrs. Cam man n Rose, Mrs. J. A.

A Herald of that year says, ' Hobart is at last the happy possessor of a football. The money has been raised and a ball sent for. Jvct other colleges be on the look out for a challenge.’’ hack of enthusiasm seems to have kept us back, and no records were made until ’91, when '94 brought in some good men. The principal game that year was lost to the Cornell Freshmen. In ’92 Hobart won one and lost one to St. John’s, and also lost to Rochester. In ’93 besides winning many minor games� we won from Auburn Theological Seminary, and lost to St, John’s. In’94 we lost to Syracuse, tied one with Rochester, won from Elmira and our Thanksgiving game with Buffalo. The season of ’95 was a most unfort- unate one, Hobart losing to all the teams of the league. In ’96 Hobart pul out one of the best teams that ever wore the orange and purple. It was our first year in the new league. For the first time in the history of the game at Hobart, we won from Union, Rochester and a large number of Athletic clubs- We played tie games with Colgate and Buffalo. Hobart lost no games during this season. The ’97 team was noted for being the lightest and pluckiest team we ever had. We won from Rochester and laureate Boat Club, and a number of minor games, losing to Union, Colgate and Hamilton by close scores. The ’98 team was handicapped by lack of a coach. The record of this season will be found in this issue. Football Varsity Eleven ’98 W. BREEDEN, Jr., K. L. Simons, Jr,, . G. A.

Our record in baseball is one that any college might well be proud of. Since 84 Hobart has five times landed the pennant. Our record in base- ball is second to no college in the State, as one can easily .see by looking it over. Baseball was played at Hobart as early as ’54, but the first organiza- tion appears ill the spring of ’6o. In 6l Hobart was defeated in two contests by our neighbor Phelps, but had the satisfaction of beating Waterloo. I11 64 tradition says the famous battery Eockwood and Jacobus swept everything before it, Hobart winning every game. For the nest ten years nothing was done in baseball. In 74, however, things took, a turn and with Chew and Finch as battery began that long string of victories which has made Ilobart famous as a baseball college. That year we defeated both Cornell and Syracuse twice, Hobart winning all the games 1884 R. P. Pearson. 1885 Howe, 1886 F. S. Oliver. 1887 F. Dwyer. 1888 F. D, Reed. 1889 F. F, German. 1890 F. F.

For tlie next few years excitement ran high. A baseball league of the different colleges in New York state was formed in ’So, but Hobart through lack of training facilities did not join. The league was a failure. Our third famous battery appeared in 8i in the form of Mallett and Tuthill, Hobart won twice from Cornell and Hamilton, besides winning all her outside games. There was much rejoicing over the two defeats of Cornell and the battery were heroes. Interest began to lag until 84, when Hobart joined the league. It was that year we had our fourth famous battery, McCauley and Pierson. Onion finished first, Hamilton second, and Hobart third. In ’86 Hobart won from Hamilton and Union, but lost to Cornell. Cornell won the pennant that year, with Hobart sec- ond. It was that year we played Williams 2 to 3 and Columbia 4 to 11. The ?8y team was a pennant winner with “Diddy” Dwyer in the box. Hobart won two games from Syracuse, Union, Hamilton and Rochester. After the last game the team was met at the station by the whole college and the Geneva band. A celebration took place on the campus such as had never before been seen in Geneva. Tu ’88 comp hunt was made against pitcher Dwyer, and Hobart withdrew from the league. In ’90 we re-entered the league and captured the pennant with Davis and Tylor as battery. Hobart lost only the first game to Rochester during the season. The last game with Rochester decided the pennant, and from the time the game was over until late at night the town resounded with “We ’ve won the pennant ! ” In ’93 we lost the deciding game to Union on our own grounds, 8 to 9. In ’94 Union again won the pennant, Ilobart finishing second. In '95 Hobart again took first place in the league, besides winning a large number of outside games. In 196 we were not in the league. We played forty-three games, winning twenty-five, ft was that year that Hobart .sent a team south, playing Princeton, University of Pennsylvania; Cornell and Annapolis and all the leading college teams in the country. In 97 wc had one of our weakest teams, yet as usual we won our games with Hamilton. In ’98 we lost one game and the pennant to Union. The outlook for a pen- nant-winning team this year is brighter than ever before. J,et us all feel proud of our record, and by showing our interest encourage the team of ’99. 103 Hobart Baseball Team, 1898 H. T. Moors, Manager, J. R. Rrynoi.os, , . . . Assistant Manager.

In the fall of '97 Dr. J, A. Leighton introduced the game here, and since that time interest in it has been steadily increasing. Last year’s team although almost entirely a “green” one made a good record for itself, beating in the first game it ever played, the Cornell team on their home grounds, but two other gatnes were played that season, one with Cornell in Geneva, the other with the University of Toronto, also in Geneva. The game in Ithaca was played in a heavy rain but the games on the Hobart campus were both played in beautiful weather. There is every indication that lacrosse has taken a firm hold at Hobart and the prospects for the ’97 team are very bright, Hobart vs- Cornell April 5, 1898, Hobarl 2 Cornell 1. liobart vs, Univ. of Toronto, May 27, 1898, Hobart 3 Toronto 8.

Many of Geneva’s most prominent citizens are members and all are enthu- siastic. The college students have ever taken a deep interest in such matters and. many of them possess stables such as would be hard to equal any where. The ease and grace with which most of them manage their steeds has at all times won the applause and commendation (in some few cases the condemnation) of the onlookers. Most of the professors prefer not to use horses as they either h� ve wheels, or else walk, thinking it a more healthy form of exercise. Borne few, however, are expert equestrians and encourage the students in their harmless sports. Among the best .stables iin college may be mentioned those of Messrs. Bragdon, Warren, Whaley, Teller, Stettenbenz, Burleson, Sosnowski, Farm enter, McGrew, Lockwood, Jagar Robison and H. B. Moore. Most of the other students possess fairly good stables, but those above mentioned surpass the others in the number and quality of their steeds and in the beautiful way in which their animals are matched. All of their horses are of the finest and best guaranteed blood and are noted for their swiftness and ease. Not alone are the club’s stables good, but also their golf links are well laid out and equally well patronized. Messrs. Lockwood, Reynolds, Heady, Richmond, F. B. Blodgett, Howard Moore, Hayes and Capen are among the most promising players we have, Mr. Kimura has been striving to learn the game in all its intricacies, but so far has found a great stumbling block in the language. He has been studying hard under Mr, Massey and says that at last he thinks he is nearly qualified for the game as he has now’ learned to swear in at least six languages. Mr. K. L. Simons has also been coaching Mr. Rimma in his play and has done good work. The tennis courts and other adjuncts of the dub are in good condition and there is every prospect of a long and happy life for the association. 121 A Special's Schedule SUNDAY: 8:25- 8:45, dreams, 8:45- 9:00, dreams, 9:00-10:00, dreams. 10:00-11:00, church. rr:oo- 2:00, rests. 2:00- 3:00, eats. 3:00-6:00, plays. 7:00- ( ?), about town.

Episcopal auspices first found expression in a resolution adopted upon the suggestion of the originator of the movement, the Rev. AmosG, Jialdwiu, by the Trustees of Fairfield Academy, April 10, 1812, petitioning Trinity Church, New York, for a grant of funds to that end. The petition was not favorably received, but in the following year, acting upon another petition suggested by Mr. Baldwin, the Corporation of Trinity Church founded in connection with the Fairfield Academy a Theological school. In 1818, however, Bishop Hobart communicated to friends in Geneva his plan to transfer this Theological School from Fairfield to Geneva in connection with n “college and printing press” proposed to be established there; in 1821 the transfer was made. The Principal of the Theological School, the Rev. Daniel McDonald, D.D., was the steadfast coadjutor of Bishop Hobart in this educational movement. In 1822, April 10, just ten years after the inception of the movement, a plan for the foundation of a college of general culture, by raising Geneva Academy, revived in 1821, to the rank of a college, having been formed and submitted, was approved by the Regents of the University of the State of New York, and a provisional charter was granted. Instruction began at once in the oldest of the college buildings, Geneva Hall. In 1824, new and more satisfactory provisions for theological instruction having been devised, the Branch Theological School, as it was then styled, was abolished, and its endowment was transferred to the College. I11 1825, February 8, the con- ditions of the provisional charter having been complied with,.a full charter was granted under the title “Geneva College,” and in 1826 the first class was graduated. By the terms 0 the original charter the corporation consisted of a . Board of Trustees, empowered to perpetuate itself by its own action. In 1874, by amendment of the charter, the constitution of the Board of Trustees was entirely changed and all members, except members ex officio, made There are two members ex officio ; the President of the College and the Bishop of that Diocese of the Protestant Episcopal Church which includes the College «ite. 126 elective. Under the new arrangement the Alumni of the College secure a constant representation of at least five members {one-fourth of the whole number, excluding members ex officio) in the Board, A further amendment of the charter, made in 1891, enables the Alumni to vote at the annual election by letter as well as in person. The whole number of Alumni in the Board for the current year is ten. The Bishops of jurisdiction in the State of New York and the Rector of Trinity Church in the City of New York are Visitors ex officio of Hobart College. The Bishops of jurisdiction in the United States are Regents ex officio. In the original endowment of the College the principal item was a sum of money raised by subscription mainly in Geneva and adjacent villages and cities; next in value was an annual allowance from the Society for the Promotion of Religion and Learning. Of the earlier additions to the per- manent resources of the College a noteworthy one was the benefaction in 1851 of Trinity Church, New York, amounting to $3,000 annually. One of the results of this benefaction was the change til the following year of the corporate title of the College to Hobart Free College, which was further modified in i860 to Hobart College. The following professorships repre- sent special endowments : the Charles Star tin Professorship, established in 1825 by Bishop Hobart out of a legacy left by Mrs. Sarah Star tin of New York; the Hobart Professorship, founded in 1852 by gifts front the friends of the College on a promise of a gift of equal amount from4the Society for the Promotion of Religion and Learning ; the Horace White Professorship, established in t86i by the legacy of Horace White of Syracuse ; the’Pren- dergast Professorship founded in 1862 bv Mrs, Deborah Preudergast of May- ville • the Chaplaincy, endowed in the same year by the late John II. Swift of New York. The largest benefactions in recent years have been the legacies of the late James Simons of Geneva and Mrs. Hobart Williams of Newport, 'R. I,, and the gift of Mrs. Agnes Demarestof Buffalo, Mrs, Julia Douglas Merritt of Rliitiebeck, Mrs, Marianne Howard Butler of New Hart- ford, N. Y., Mrs, Clarence Armstrong Seward of New York, and the late Win, Bradley Douglas of Rochester. The College is indebted for its most important group of scholarships to the late Allen Ayrault of Genesco, deceased 1861 ; and for the three valuable scholarships and for liberal gifts to the library and the general funds of the College, to the late William Constable Pierrepont of Pierrepont Manor. 127 Come hither, Muse, from thine eternal spring, In which Apollo ever takes delight, And sing of Fate, and old Disunion dire, Who brought defeat to Sopboinoric might, Lest I in an unworthy strain should tell, That famous, night, when freshmen won the fray. For hardly were exams., which Durf. the dean Who ruled the college, fixed for entrance, passed. Than, silently the fresh in eh forces went Unto the place which Partridge, chief of all Their forces had appointed, one by one. As when a cry of fire heard and all Who hear, fly at the sound to seek the place At which the cry was started; so this force Was gathered, and right boldly did they march Up to the campus, where they hoped to find, And put to rout some band o£ sophs. But ere They came swift Mercury had seen their plan, And in the form of Snell appeared to Bill Who was the chieftain of the sophomores, ' 128 And told the great disaster which o’erhnng The honor of his class, and so they went In different ways to find the warriors bold Who should withstand the freshman host and keep The honor of their class, which each one held Above all stain, and guarded with his life. To North went Bill, who Breeden oft is called And found the mighty Simons whom lie sent To search for more, nor did he, in his craft, Forget to name a place where they should meet. Then onward sped and found him, whom they call The gamiest and greatest of their force, Cork Polger of the golden locks so bright, And Percival, delighting in the cry Of war; Bill Warren, fond of battle hot, They found and then in groups they started out To find the place the crafty Bill had fixed. Meanwhile the god to South had quickly gone And found about the college “Dorms” a host Of valiant men of war, .stern Cook, old Hip, The man of many plans, the nervy Jean, And many more who kept their armour bright. These at a word were ready for the fray. But ere this host of mighty warriors bold Had leached the place where forces should combine Their Freshman foe had neared the college grounds, And were upon them ere they could unite. But, when the cry of “Naughty One” rang out, From every side rushed in a host of men, Who skilled in battle were, and Mars was king On all that field, while many lesser gods, In form of Juniors, helped cheer on the men, Who still were strangers to the arts of war. In one place might be seen the man, who came From Pensacola, fighting hard, and grizzly oaths Came from the throat of him who struggled on Against overwhelming numbers, but he fell. Here blinded Polyphemus might have seen How Folgcr's younger brother, Tom, had three 129 Men tvndftr him, and still was looking round To find a fourth who might increase the pile Of struggling men here subject to his might. Old Stevens, that great man of strength� was felled By Breeden, he from far off Santa Fe. Now so rang out the awful shouts of war They reached e’en to Olympus, that fair mount Where live the gods in everlasting peace, And woke old Jove, who, in the form of Durf, Came from his home to stop the fight; but he With all his power over men could not Allay the wrath that filled each warrior’s breast. So, on they fought, with ardor never cooled Until exhaustion quieted their cries. The grave old Seniors, judges of the fray, Their verdict gave, and then triumphant yells Of Freshmen broke once more upon the air Half drowned by cries of scorn from conquered Sophs. And then the few, who had remained unhurt, Bore off the wounded men ; so all went home. And ail was quiet, save in. Soph1 more rooms Where they laid plans of vengeance fell, and thought Of reasons which explained their sad defeat, And dire Disunion cursed with ardent h e. OMJJPOX i:p. 130 Andrews, XII: 5-11 Now it was a custom in these parts, that if those men who are called Freshmen would have a meeting wherein to elect their rulers and wise men, they must needs post a notice in some place where it might be seen of all' men, and must guard it for four and twenty hours from those who are called “Sophomores” or “Sophs’ by virtue of the Greek words, which being trans- lated mean wise and silly ; whence it is they derive the name “silly-wise,” or self-conceited. Now it came to pass that certain Freshmen met together in a secret place ; and the number of the freshmen was two .score and four ; and. they ciime to discuss where the notice should be posted. There was a certain one of them who had a great head, tlic measure of which was ten cubits. He spake to the multitude and said : ‘ ‘ What hinders that we should place it on the flag-pole ?” And the rabble cried aloud, saying, “Yea, verily, why should we not? ” And it was agreed that it should be so. And it came to pass when the appointed night came and all the “Sophs” and the other seekers after learning had assembled in the synagogue, a certain trusted hireling of the Freshmen came and took the poster that had been prepared by one of their number, and climbed with it far np the pole. And he girded it round with copper and with iron wire so that neither by the hand of man nor by the power of the elements might it be torn 'away. In the tenth watch of the night, before it was yet morning, certain of the Freshmen assembled together. And when they saw the notice high above their heads, their hearts were exceeding glad and their spirits bur� st forth in shouts and merry-making ; and they called together others of their kind and went to those places where the Sophs lay sleeping and jeered at them and said all manner of evil of them aud reviled them. Now when the morning had come the Sophs assembled under their leaders, and when the)’ found that their number was complete the)’ fell upon the Freshmen and would fain have done them bodily harm. But instead, they -were cast down to the earth and girded up their loins and lied. Thrice before the close of that day did they attempt to overthrow the hardy Freshman but each time were they more grievously repulsed than they had been before ; and when the night fell they realized that they were defeated and there was weeping and gnashing of teeth. W Plunk Society The history of this society in college is brief. It was started by a man of most singular talents, who, by good fortune, was induced to carry on his excellent work within the humble walls of Hobart. lie has been here for two years and at the present day is perhaps the most esteemed man in college, both as a gentleman and a scholar. He is well known as Sally ; no other introduction is necessary. By very great persuasion on our part he -was prevailed upon to start this organization providing he should be made high mucky-mlick.

The seal of this society is circular with a large F in the center, sur- rounded by Forgcb me-noU in abundance. The object of this society is, as the High executioner states, a worthy one. As yet he has not divulged it to our Editor, but we surmise that its object is to increase its own membership and to decrease that of the college. Its officers, we think are well chosen to promote the welfare and happiness of the members, and to raise the tone of the college intellectu- ally and morally. 32 The Echo I Beside an unknown lake, a stately oak was grown, Aged and sear With many a }'ear. It toppled and fell, And a solemn knell Rang through the wilds of that woodland glade. Sudden an echo pealed out its kdull tone And the cadence spread out o’er tile waters lone; Like vanishing footsteps it echoed again, Boomed further in lower refrain ; Yet further in distance it blended ih maze From quiet to waket) again as we list', ’Ere it speeded away through the blue veiled haze To the silence beyond of the mist. rr Then Senecas camped by this lake’s silv’ry strand Their wigwams raised. Their campfires blazed— Year followed year zEons drew near On the batiks of the Can-a-de-sa-ga. Their welkin and war-cry rang far o’er the land, Its echo so startling and fierce in its clang That Eastern tribes hearing it humbled their pride, Hurons and Ottawas withered and died. The wampum of tribute from the tribes of the west, Was carried along on the force of its blast. Its enemies Mame-tau ' gathered to rest, For the days of their greatness had past. Can-a-de-sa-ga. Tti the dialect of the Seneca's literally translated means JIeautifi.il Waters, it was tlie former Indian name of Seneca Lake. [ III By this same fair lake our College now rears Castled walls grey Where knowledge holds sway. The woodland scene Is our campus green, And our ived tower stands where the oak tree once stood. Dear lo our hearts are its time honored years, Proud of its prestige that tnem’ry endears. Fondly ‘'The Kcho” from thy lake’s glistening side We launch to be heard at the sea’s further’st tide. Thy gown-men and doctors and alumni grown old, Tn duties field scattered far and wide hi eath the skies. Oh Hobart! our loadstone, may our thoughts ever hold An Angelus Bcho that never more dies. IV Then let the good old Hobart cheer ring out, Sound it clear; Far and near • Its echo we fling With a true Hobart ring From the walls of our lov’d Alma Mater. We know that of all that is noble and dear, All of true manhood and worthiness here, All that is truest and purest and best, From fountain of wisdom’s armorial crest, That when all of this life work is finished and done, And the dross and the dust from the rest are set free. That all of those attributes rich, we have won, We will owe, old Hobart, to thee. Lone Wolf. 134 Life white hands befbering round a rose, Unthinking of the thorn that's there; Two %hite hands mutely raised to heaven In passion's agony of prayer; Two white hands on a white breast crossed, That erst bath neber seemed so still: Love and Pain and Peace ;—the rest c4 veil, unseen, unsearchable.. B. � 98. - 4 The People of the Standing Stone My old friend was sitting on tlie bench outside of the cabin door and I was talking to him of his people and their fortunes. I spoke of tile power and influence which had been theirs; but which at the touch of the white man had fallen from -them and faded away into naught but tradition. Straightening up in his scat he spoke rapidly for a few' moments, saying he would like to tell me a part of the history of his people, showing me that it was Saweniij'oh, the Almighty, who had given to his people the power and influence that I had mentioned, ami that it was only in accordance with the 'will of the ssame Mighty One that the white man’s touch had been able to break that power or to annul that influence. 4 Many hundreds of years ago before any white man saw this land, onr fathers were part of the Seneca nation, living along the shores of Seneca Lake. One day several families of them started out from one of the vil- lages on a fishing expedition, and after a long day’s march halted and made their camp on a small stream renowned for the excellence of Us fish. Here they intended to remain for several weeks until they had laid in and smoked a good supply of fish, after which they would return to the village. 4 The next day they spent in setting up their w'igwarns and getting their camp in order. As they sat down to their midday meal a sudden strange awe seized every one of them, and they trembled as with cold. Immediately they heard a sound as of a clear, small voice speaking to them and saying, My children ! ’ They looked in each other’s faces as if to inquire what is v?as they heard. But before any one could speak a form distinct yet shadow}', hidden as b}T a cloud yet clearl}7, -seen, appeared in their midst. ‘ Niiyoh 1 they cried. Loyanel 1? and fell down to worship. Again the clear, small voice rang in their ears, but it was as though each mail’s heart spoke to him within himself rather than that one stood among them speaking to them human words. “ 4 My children,’ said tile Great Spirit, for it was indeed He that stood among them, ‘ My children, be not afraid for I am not come to punish you for your sins or to rebuke you for your forgetfulness, for you have pleased r3fi me by your good deeds, and your prayers and sacrifices of tobacco and •white dogs have been always before me; and now I have come to make clear my will to you. u ‘ My children� my eyes have been long upon you and T have watched you carefully. Alone of all the Senecas you have done all that is pleasing, to me. No brother’s blood is on your hands ; you are mindful of iny wor- ship and you respect may laws; your chiefs also, whom T placed among 3'ou, you obey. My children� all these virtues of yours are before me, and since you are thus careful and obedient I have come to you to make a cov- enant with you and make you my chosen people. You shall be no longer Senecas, my children, but I will make of you a new notion, greater and more mighty than any the world has eyer seen. You shall be called Ouei- dahagon, the People of the Standing Stone, because you shall not fall, and you shall rule over the Senecas and over this whole land, “ ‘ My children, I will give you a token by which you shall remember that T have chosen you to be my people and have given you. a name that shall be great among the names of the nations. This Red Stone, iny chil- dren, shall be to 'OU a sign of this. It shall stand forever in your midst, and a� s long as you preserve and reverence it so long will I protect and bless you and give you victory over all your enemies. When your war parties go out to fight they shall first march in column around this sacred stone, ‘and after every battle they shall take a red stone and place it in the middle of the field so that all men may know that in that spot the On eidas met and overcame their enemies, and that they may also know that I am the God who rules the earth and that my word is never broken. Put, my chil- dren, hasten. Take this stone and gd away from here, for the Senecas will try to kill you because you are made greater than they. Go, and X will be with you.’ li And then our fathers rose up and found among them in the midst of their camp a strange red stone. This they took and, obeying the command of the- Spirit, wont away eastward and settled on the banks of the lake which now bears their name. “ Here the Great Spirit fulfilled His promise and. made of them a great nation. They conquered all the peoples around them and on each battlefield they set up the red stones as they had been commanded, 4‘But -when the white men came and we went out to war with them, tbeu we forgot our totem and did not an}' longer set up the stones upon the battlefields; so the Great Spirit turned His face away, and our glory fell from vis because we took to ourselves all the praise of our deeds and did not give it to Him as we ought to have done. 137 “We arc still many in number even as the stones in the ruins of the once mighty city, but like the power and glory of that city is the power and glory of my people—-gone from us forever, and existing only in tradition. We are still the People of the Stone; but of the fallen stone rather than the standing E., 1900. NOTE The Oneida Stone is now said to be in Utica, N. Y., having been placed there some time ear I y in this century on account of the many legends of historic interest connected with it. At the time of its removal to Utica several of the chiefs and leading men of the Oncidas were asked to come and certify that the stone in question was the actual totem of their nation. They came and gave their testimony, on the strength of which the stone was removed to its new place. One, however, of those who had been con- sulted as to the stone’s identity, an old Oneida named Oses, insisted that it was not the Oneida Stone, saying that he knew its history well since he had heard it from his grandfather when he was only a little boy. “ In the spring, soon after the nestiug time of the wild pigeons, the whole Oneida nation used to break up camp and move to a place where the pigeons nested in great numbers, and there they would stay for a time living on the young birds. ‘‘One year, as usual, the whole nation was gone to the nesting ground, but they had left behind them one little girl with her grandmother, a feeble old woman who was not strong enough to eudtire the journey. These two remained in camp for some time but soon they grew very lonely , so the old woman determined to follow after the others at any cost. She said that she had once gone to the nesting grounds by a trail through the woods, which was now seldom or never used, but which was much shorter than the regular trail by the lake shore. Very' early in the morning, while it was yet dark, the two started out 011 their long tramp. The trail was narrow and the old woman made the little girl walk ahead, saying that she must not stop or look back -unless she were told she might, and that if she disobeyed she would surely be very sorry for it. “Soon the first traces of day began to appear in the east, and a faint light to steal down through the pine branches to the two solitary figures passing below. Immediately the old woman began in a low tone a weird chant which sounded more like a dirge than anything else, but which, as it went on, grew louder and more joyful until it resembled a triumphal anthem. The words were in some strange language that the little one could not understand, and this roused her curiosity, nevertheless she. 138 obediently kept her face set to the front. But finally, when the sun was fully up and the last notes of the chant were dying away amid the aisles of tree trunks, her curiosity proved too much for her and she stoic a glance at the old woman behind her. Can this be her old grandmother who started out with her a few moments ago This woman is scarcely twenty ! As she looks, what is her horror to see her grandmother—once old, now young- stop ,• hesitate, and then suddenly, turning to a red stone, fall lifeless in the middle of the path. ‘‘The little girl gave a piercing scream and in wild terror rushed on away from the enchanted spot, fearing that the same fate might overtake her also. After tearing blindly through the underbrush for how long she could not tell, the woods began to grow thinner and in a few minutes she found her- self, breathless and exhausted, in the midst.of her own people again. Her sudden appearance at the nesting ground caused no little excitement, and a crowd gathered around to hear her story. After it was told the medicine- man said had shebeen obedient to her grandmother’s instructions not only would her grandmother not have perished, but all the other old people of the Oneida nation would have been restored to youth and never have grown old again.” Old Oscs always insisted that this was the true history of the red stone of Utica; and declared that the real Oneida stone was still hidden in the forests near Oneida Lake, Br, 1900, 139 To ’99 Hail!

S. ’oo. 140 Recent Books The Echo's stock of books lias been enlarged this year by several val- uable additions. A number of new books came out this spring and last fall, by well known author 3, and we immediately secured the copyright to sev- eral of the most interesting and instructive of them. These we have now ready for sale and our customers will do well to drop into our store and look them over. They are all well bound and handsomely printed volumes, in addition to having the stamps of such famous authors. We mention a few of them. “On the Raising and Cark oe Moustaches.” A series of essays- by Messrs. Hannahs, Richmond, Sosnowski and Ackley; also a short account of bis successes in that line by Mr. Evans, who describes the methods by which he obtained success. The book is full of good advice and after reading it almost everyone is immediately seized with the idea that he can raise a moustache for himself if he is only patient enough to follow out the methods laid down. The book also treats of best methods for handling these facial ornaments in the most approved ways. We regret exceedingly to say that Mr, King, who was to favor us with an essay on this subject, was unable to do so on account of business, “ Coon Songs and How to Sing Them,” by H. M. Lockwood. Any comment on a work by such a well known singer and composer is unnecessary, but we would like to say that the book completely fulfills the expectations of all who heard of what the author was doing. Under the same cover is printed a set of treatises on vocal music, by Messrs. Warren, H. T. Moore, Capen, and ft. L. Jagar, all well known musical stars. Mr. Massey also 1ms written a treatise of special merit on this subject which we publish under separate cover. Mi'. Lockwood, along with Mr. Reynolds, has made another great hit in the book of plays which they have recently published. The public are wild over the production of these plays in the theaters, and the actors can hardly appear on the stage, such a storm of applause greets each play as soon as it Hi begins. Critics say that Shakespere s and these plays should not bo mentioned in the same breath,so marvellous are these in their power and sym- pathy, With such stars as Shaw, Moore, Sosnowski, Jagar and Partridge appearing in them, their run has been something unparalleled—something stupendous. “How TO Charm a Musical Audience,” by James Albert Massey, first tenor and director of the choir of St. John’s Chapel. Geneva. No criticism of this book is necessary. The author’s name is enough. “ Birds I have Met, and Some Others,” by T. G. Remick, the well known antiquarian and zoologist. The “birds” need no comment and the ' ‘others” are really under a. different heading, forming a second part, entitled “ Snakes I have Seen.” The first part is full of calm, deep, quiet thoughts, imparting a drowsy feeling of blissful serenity to its readers. 'Hie second is less quiet—is more exciting and broken, containing many strange per- sonal observations by the author. It is exceedingly interesting, “How to Cultivate College Sririt,” by Messrs. Harter, Hawley, Hilliard and Clary. The authors have given a clear and succinct account of how they obtained a degree of college spirit rarely equaled at this or any other college. All freshmen should buy this book. “Jokes, Petrified and Embalmed,” by Mr. Capen, the antiquarian. Most of the book is occupied in a description of a set of jokes Mr. Capen resurrected during his tour in Egypt and the East. Some still have on them the trade-mark of Agapesleepioleaveusalonc, the first jester of the first king of China and Thibet. Most of them are so worn, however, as to leave no trace of tlicir original manufacture. Mr. Capen is justly proud of his collection of antiquities. “Instructions to Professors on the Art .or Correcting J$S;says,” by Mr. JL B. Andrews. The attention of the faculty and of all professors is called especially to this volume, ft is of great merit. “ Satires,” by Little Mac,. “ How To Clean and Keep Clean One’s Houses,” by “]an.” The author speaks from a wide experience, having for many years kept the college dormitories in the pink of condition. We recommend this work to all housekeepers. 142 The Story of the Youth from the West Once in the distant West, even in far off Wisconsin, there did arise a youth who turned to his family and said : ‘ ‘Family, I am going to do a strange tiling, a great thing.” And his family said, “What is it, my son that thou art about to do, what is it my brother that thou doest? ” and he answered and said: “Behold this is the thing I am about to do. .1' am resolved to break all the customs of my people, to trespass against the advice they all have followed—T shall go K sl,” “Wherefore doest thou this thing, 0 brother, wherefore, O son,” cried they all ; and he answering replied, “Of a truth t shall leave and go and take up ray abode among strange peoples in order that 1 may attain unto wisdom. Many and won- derful places of instruction there are in that far off land toward the rising sun, T hear ; and perchance I may pick up a fragment or two of the wisdom which aboundeth there, should I go.” And they answered, “It is well,” Then came that youth from the wild and woolly west, green and with feet tender to the usages of the peoples which dwelt beyond the ken of his immediate vision. Preparation, he found, was necessary before he could be instructed in the wisdom of the ancients and the aw some knowledge of this later time, lie learned to make queer marks upon paper and to trans- late those which others made. He learned to deal with figures such as drive men wild and to talk strange tongues, and then he was prepared. Chose he then one of those mighty institutions of which he had so often heard, and entered there. And the name of the place he entered was Hobart, and the name of the youth, Burleson, and the class in which he came was called nineteen hundred. And the youth was in stature medium with a compact build and heavy, but of a disposition lazy and disinclined to work, wherefore lie remained soft. Also he drank of tea and smoked cigarettes, many of them, daily and also nightly. And he taught a class in a Sunday school and did visit missions. Thus did he. He met in the place of wisdom a second youth, one Dennison, a soldier of the valiant Thirty-fourth a dweller in the country round about—a scholar. He likewise was a pursuer of knowledge, but 43 believing thus, that knowledge was wisdom, and wisdom, happiness, he did begin the pursuit of wisdom through the pursuit of happiness, and so did depart having found the ways of wisdom too slow for him. He likewise was a man of medium stature, a foot ball player, and a scrapper from away back. A third whom he met came likewise from the west, from the distant lands of Nebraska, Graves was he higlit—Frederick Daniel Graves, a brave and valorous youth not large l ut plucky, a putter out of the eyes of profess- ors of various sorts, the son of a bishop, whence bore he the cognomen of “Bishop.” He was valorous in scrap and contest. The next he met was a silent youth, a baseball player of might who dwelt in the country of Penn., in the town of Beaver. To him was the name of Gunnell. A diligent seeker after knowledge and whatever else is good and pleasant, a scout of might, short of stature but broad and of great strength, a doer of mighty deeds both in prowess and in wisdom. Along with this latter there came another, a youth great in stature, with shoulders broad and massive, of smiling countenance forsooth and of great strength, a man who loved .scraps—when others were scrapping, a youth of parts. Greek held no terrors for him, neither did Math. Batin lie found easy—Bnglisli likewise—at least so he did say. But he did not play foot ball, no, nor baseball either. His name was Humphrey and he was called “Rube” and all called him so. He also was a scout and did move along with the scout. Kitnura came next, he from the distant country of Japan, a Jap of Japs, smiling and diligent and of deep application. Verily he doth study over- much—late at night and early in the morning doth lie study. Neither doth he go out upon the campus and play like unto other mortals. He doth sit in his room and study save when there be some game or other in progress. Then indeed doth he go out and root and the sound of his rooting can be heard from afar off—even from two feet distant. .And he doth take pleas- ure therein. Another did the youth from the West meet—one Robison, a man of strange walk, a student likewise, long and lanky and of geuial smile, a sailor of boats, and a man of valor in the class room. He in his freshman year did overcome the languages which give to all such trouble, also in other things did he excel, A lady killer was he of note, a breaker of fair damsels hearts; of dark hair and piercing eyes. Three more he, the western one did run. into at that strange and reverend place, beside many others too numerous to mention—a multitude like even unto the sands of. the sea. The first of the three was a strange T44 youth who hailed from the country lying to the south, from far down toward the waist of the world—one with light hair and eyes and a strange name, quick as to temper and good natured, a Pole. One Sosnowski, not tall but of medium breadth, a youth who scrapped along with his class—a student of diligence, a worker, one fond of math. Whose name did come next in order to that of another with strange name. Stettenbenz came next to greet the others. Him from Buffalo, stocky and strong and heavy. A pitcher of baseballs, a student. Profound and diligeut he was, and a grind. Wherefore he did no longer plaj' ball but did study, and hard too, and no mistake, and he did love to dabble in ancient lore—in ancient languages and literatures and did stand high in his classes. “Stett1 ’ was he called because his name, of-its great length, did occupy too much time, did any want to call him ; therefore was he called Stett and the name stuck, yea, even to this day doth it stick. And last came another youth, Teller, the co-patriot of him called Den- nison, of Seneca Falls. Thin and short, but bold and a soldier, a football player, a quarter back; clouds and sunshine did chase themselves across his face like ducks across a pond ; and he studied sometimes, and did do much towards athletics in Hobart College, and he played a good game.. Pie the “Lone Wolf” was called—Teller the Lone Wolf. Then when all this gang had got together they united and got up a yell— a jaw-splitting, hair-raising one and they made plans and being some of them farmers, went into the agricultural business and raised Cain, and they studied diligently and scrapped hard and lost many men, overcome by the heat and vigor of the battle. And now they have gotten over some of the difficulties of their path and are getting bald headed and fat with much wisdom and peace, and. the Freshmen obey them. T45 Junior OCCUPATION. SAW v.
