1898-99 Officers and Students of Hobart College

Page 21 text:

Now that we of the Editorial Board have finished our work, wc. plead guilty to it and throw ourselves on the mercy of the court before which we are to be brought. 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.
