If nothing more, it is at leasta happy coincidence that the year which marks the beginning of the twentieth century and the end of the Victorian era, may be said to be the first of a new epoch for old Hobart. The first quarter of the last century saw the birth of Hobart fGenevaj College. In the remaining seventy-'dve years of the century the College quickly grew to maturity and maintained an enviable stand among similar institutions of learning and culture. Such was the life of our Alma Mater during the century which has been the most remarkable in the world's history for human develop- ment. And in this next hundred years we look for new things. for greater things. So it is with pride and pleasure that we note the improvements that the past year has witnessed at Hobart, which presage even nobler achievments for her. A new dormitory of the most modern type, Med- bury Hall. has been erected on the northern extremity of the old campus. This dormitory which will accomodate sixty students is now ready to be occupied. Coxe Memorial Hall is nearly cotnpleted and is a building of which Hobart may well be proud. It contains a large asseml-ly room and dance hall as well as numerous oflices and lecture rooms. A new campus is now being laid out which will be of ample size for the needs of the College. Never has there been a greater interest in athletics at Hobart. If mere numbers mean anything we can say that the number of students at Hobart is now larger than it has been for many years. The standard of scholarship has been materially raised and it is safe to say that from no college in the country is it harder to secure a degree than from Hobart. For old Hobart. then, with all its traditions and associations, accumula- ted through three-quarters of a century, a new era has opened, an era of greater prosperity. When we consider all this, it is with mingled feelings of trepidation and satisfaction that the class of 1902 presents the Erst ECHO of this new century and era to the friends of our dear old Alma Mater.
