History of the Class of 1907 We are a young class, this class of '07. This is our debut into this peren- nial reverberation of wit and eloquence, and in this, our first attempt, we wish to speak softly and without boasting of our deeds and misdeeds. We entered up a strong, vigorous class, rich in material both for the foot- ball coach and the practical joker. At an early date we fell victim to each, and since then, we have been endeavoring to fulfil our little part in those various in- terests which go to make up the life of Hobart College. From the first we have made our existence felt, especially by that class which had the honor of holding down our job for us last year. On more than one well-fought field we have demonstrated our spirit and grit. And although, as you doubtless know, if you have read the history of our opponents, we have met defeat; still, remember that we bore our part with honor and eclat, we have always gone into our scraps with the determination to do our best, and in this we have succeeded, so what does the position of a cane or of a rope signify? But every stain, if stain there wras, was wiped from our shield when at eight o’clock on December twelfth, the banner scrap was declared over, and the Sopho- more class was dragged ignominiously out of the mud of the Campus Martius. Then were our hearts filled with pardonable pride as we saw our cherished banner serenely gazing down upon us, its gallant defenders. But not only in these tete-a-tetes with our friends and predecessors, have we shown the stuff whereof we are made. H‘s in football speak out in silent eloquence, while seven of our men did heroic but unhonored service with the “ scrubs. As yet, it is too early to make predictions concerning the part we will play in the spring athletics, but we feel sure that when the second chapter of ’07’s his- tory is written, it will contain the record of even more heroic efforts than these.
