Hobart College - Echo of the Seneca Yearbook (Geneva, NY)

Text from Pages 1 - 199 of the 1908 volume:

he Echo of the Seneca Being an Annual of Hobart College and Containing Various Information Regarding the College and the Students This, the forty-sixth volume Is published by the Junior Class In the year nineteen hundred and seven PROF. JOHN MUIRHEID TO A TRUE FRIEND OF HOBART AND HOBART MEN John Muirheid THE CLASS OF NINETEEN HUNDRED AND EIGHT DEDICATES THIS FORTY- SIXTH VOLUME OF THE ECHO. nplIE BOARD of Editors send this 46th volume of the Echo out upon the sea of criticism mindful of the adage, “Nothing ven- ture, nothing gain! This number is far from perfect, but, the Editors hope, in some respects an improvement upon its predecessors. Whatever criticism is attached to their production will in no wav affect the Editors’ conviction that they have done their best and that this number re- cords a year of marked pro- gress for their Alma Mater. Progress! Due to our President and Treasurer backed by the entire Faculty and Student-body. On behalf of the latter, the Editors wish to thank President Stewardson and Mr. Van Aukcn for their earnest work. This year they seized “the tide in the affairs of men, which taken at the flood leads on to fortune.” For a while, though, it looked as if Hobart were going to lose her able pilot and go ashore. That danger is now past, so we again thank President Stewardson and congratulate the College on keeping her pilot at the wheel. In this volume 1908 has her sav. Some things may seem rather pointed, but as they arc written to recall in later years our col- lege days, to arouse a laugh when in the blues, we hope no offense will be taken. None is intended.

One might minutely describe our scraps and scrapes, our banquets and dances, but except to our own members, they are petty happenings which have no meaning. And to our own men, what need is there? Who will forget those first days of antici- pation and dread of hazings and scrapping, when we hurried the Sophomores off the campus? Who will forget our banner scrap and Freshman banquet? The suppressed excitement, the feverish pleas- ure? It is an okl and trite story now, that of scraps and banquets, but then it was so new, so interesting, so important. And as the months went by, and we were Sophs made to lie low as had the Sophs of the year before. And then the calmer life of the Junior year, and so on until the present. Full, all of it, full of memories which will never die. When in the years to come, we straggle back by twos and threes to see the old place again,we will live over those days of fun and Work. And there will be no carping critics about to hinder the growth of our facts into fancies. So, you see. it can’t be written, this history. It must live like a dream that is past, like Lhefaceof a dead friend in memory. 29 Historian'. Senior Class Front Row:—Clark, Bold, Wilson, Brewer.

Junior Spiel Another year has passed since last; we wrote of our Hobart life. It has been a typical Hobart year; a year tilled with joys, with good times, with suc- cesses and with few, if any failures or sorrows. But it has been unlike our first two years in that we have obtained a taste of the upperclassman life, the life in which each man feels differently toward the college and the college men than he has felt before. We have lived through this year with scarcely half the number of men that we had in our first year, but those who are left have striven well to keep the good name of naughty-eight untarnished, and to make it a class which will not be forgotten by Hobart men in future years. We have done our share of work for the college, and have our share of college honors. We have been found on all athletic teams and other college organiza- tions. We have done well in the academic side of our college life, and naughty-eight men have received their share of college honors. No one can deny that we have done our work well, and have proved all along to be typical Hobart, men. Thus we look over the past, and are well satisfied, but every day makes us now carefully consider the future. For we cannot but realize that we have more than covered the half of our college course, and that our time yet to be spent at Hobart is growing short. Three years arc practically gone, and then only one short year will remain. It will go only too quickly, for it will abound in the same pleasures which we have realized in the past years, and before we are aware of it our Hobart life will be ended. But we can do much in the year remaining; can secure more honors still, can further enjoy the pleasure that comes from being Hobart men, and can improve and keep ourselves such that in later years Hobart men will say, “Naughty-eight was a good class; let us not forget them.” Members, 1908 • _ Albert Child Andrews, ©ax, 6 EMedbery Hall, Warren, Ohio.

Born at Geneva, X V., Sept, if), 1SS6. Prepared at Geneva High School; vice-president second term (,5). “Old Silence is thinking of becoming a dairyman. Really, this isn’t a joke Nearly every day he goes out to the White Springs Farm to study the rudiments of the trade. Whatever he learns he certainly guards jealously. He walks with a very preoccupied air and rarely says anything. We presume he is fig- uring out how many cows he can feed a day on an acre lot and still have enough grass left to feed the same number of cows the same amount of grass the next day, and so on. Xo wonder he keeps still. That’s a problem like some that Professor Durfee propounds.

Me is a shark and a journalist, and some day Drummie hopes to become the editor of the AVtc York A nirncaji. Another of his accomplishments is playing on the Varsity Lacrosse team, but that is a small matter; he has others. Aside from these there is one claim to distinction that will probably cause him to be regarded as a martyr within a century or so. This isowing to the fact that he does not belong to the chapel choir. (If you happen to belong, I’ll be pleased to meet you behind Coxe Hall at daybreak; swords at sixty paces.)

It certainly possesses the bad qualities of each of these instruments. “Sammy also owns a nice canoe and is on the water nearly every day.

According to Darwin, there is such a thing as “reversion to type,” and when you see “Moss” running you know his type was a “daddy-long-legs.” But while those long legs help out the Lacrosse team we don't care what they arc compared to. “Moss” is a dangerous man to thwart in any way. He will surely get back at you some way. lie is usually sick about half the year, but usually manages to square accounts in the other half. The way “Moss” swings his old Lacrosse stick would make you think his ancestors were the Oneida Indians. I Ic can’t belong to both types at once and his explanation is that his ancestors were monkeys and he can still find a resemblance to a cocoanut in the Lacrosse ball. He has never said what he likens the Lacrosse stick to. He is forever swearing off smoking, but he makes life so miserable for the other smokers by asking for “ Frenchsmokes” that they absolve him from his oath. 44 Members, 1908 Dicxtich Harold Phillips. 2 x, 18 Geneva Hall Watertown, N.

What a name’ Do you know what the E stands for? It stands for Ever Earnest Endeavor—after what? Why. a Religious Sentiment. Floyd defined Religious Sentiment one day for “Jimmie” thus: “A Religious Sentiment, so-called is not a Sentiment at all, but a Feeling that one has after the Banner Scrap. It is a Feeling of Inward Exaltation, a Feeling that the Clouds have Silver Linings only.

Then he asked Mr. Rippey, what is a Hypocrite?” Then Floyd gasped, Why-er-really, Profes- sor, I—don’t—quite appreciate the point of your question.” “Well, never mind, Mr. Rippey, You always were so altruistic. That’s all for today.” (X. 13.—The above case is purely hypothetical and a result of trying to read De Quincey’s “Opium Dreams” and take lectures in “Jimmie” Leighton's course.) E.

He’s rather distinguished looking and might very easily be taken for the “Saviour of Brazil, or Peru or Columbia, or Sierra Leone,” seeing that he comes from Orange, X. J.

Fred is care- fully stowed away in a wine cellar till that individual departs. ’Tis said that Fred would much rather fight than hide like that, but be has no choice. 'Tis also said that he started “thug” hair cuts and after he had persuaded “Stout” to get one he barely escaped with his life. He has ever since refrained from advocating the thug cut.” As seen by the above, Pike” spent two years at Williams, and ever since someone imported “Cheer for old Am- herst,” he has been looking for the man who is responsible. Until Fred has blacked the importer's two eyes, he feels morally doomed to wear the customary WJltams anti-Amherst grouch.

Before we realize it, our college course is half finished. We entered these dear old college halls but yesterday, and now we look forward to our last role as upper-classmen. The class of nineteen nine has without doubt held its standard far above the heads of its verdant followers. In athletics we have little trouble to hold our own. So also in scholarship and ability; but no matter what branch of college activities we review, there we find the members of naughtv- nine standing prominent. I find that in fulfilling my duty as an historian, to simply narrate the events in which my class has taken a more or less important part, there are many pauses by the wayside, where travelers ascending the hill of college life from the level of a Fresh to that of a Soph, wearied with endless exertions with balky horses, and finding themselves unequal to the task, have lain down to rest. These we regret to leave, especially as they will now be compelled to climb upward amid much inferior surroundings, but wc hope that they may soon, by the help of new steeds, be able to overtake their most worthy classmates. 1 f, in this short history, I use many eloquent words be sure that it is from no desire to revive the old definition that “a sophomore is an individual who con- siders himself omnipotent,” but merely from an intense feeling of satisfaction in knowing that my idea of histories is the same as that entertained by the Father of History.” But Herodotus was also of the opinion that when the historian has no more to write, he should lay aside his pen and not. indulge in a lengthy account of nothing. Therefore, I will pass this rule on to my successor, hoping that our renowned class will enjoy another period of such good fortune and prosperity as it has in the past. Historian.

Class Yell At ’em once. At 'em again Hobart, Hobart Nineteen Ten 58 Freshman Effort Gathered together from various sections of the United States, some forty- five Freshmen surveyed the perils thru which they must pass. That awe-inspir- ing body called the Sophomore class was manfully met on the campus the lirst night. Both classes acquitted themselves nobly. Moreover, to the wise advice and earnest exhortation of the Seniors on that night, we may attribute much of our later Success. In the individuals only a chosen few could represent the class, and well they did it. In spite of the most strenuous endeavors of the Sophomores we were victors in the cane rush, and after a long and hard pull, the tug-of-war was ours. One might say that such a series of successes would turn the head of a grave, old Senior, let alone a callow Freshman. But hero we must again thank the Seniors for their kind advice and counsel during this most trying period of our career. The effect of this training soon became evident and we settled down as one of the most steady going, studious classes in the history of the college. Even with all our scholastic attainments we had not lost all our power in deeds of manly strength. With the assistance of our H” men we were able to defeat the Sophomores in a hard fought football game in which our opponents failed to appear owing to a slight rain. As the days grew shorter and the mercury began to sag lower and lower, we began to hear rumors of the banner scrap. Soon the rumors became more definite, and after the Sophomore meeting we daily scanned the bulletin board with eager and expectant eyes. At last the longed-for rules appeared, and that night our banner went up. Gathered about the tree on which it hung were the Freshmen, strong in numbers and determination. Slowly and coldly the night passed. Then came the first rush. Had not the Sophomores been weakened by indigestion caused by over-indulgence in purloined sweets they might have then stood some show. As for the second rush we merely spent some time picking the attacking party out of the mud and brushing them off. And now this page of our history is filled, and a clean one lies before us. What will be inscribed thereon is unknown, yet. there is not much doubt but that we will do as we have done, adding lustre to our names and winning fame for our College.

Poor as was the beginning of the 1906 season, its ending was the realization of our fondest hopes. To bring out of a most gloomy outlook and initial defeat a victory over Rochester seemed little short of miraculous. There is no shame in relating the story of our season. After a close defeat by Palmer, the team braced and went to Syracuse with a spirit that gave them a touchdown against Syracuse's 28 points. Their playing won for them much admiration in the Salt City. The next game was Colgate 29—o, but even there the team played their heavy opponents to a standstill in the 2nd half. At Alfred we had to be content with 0—0. At St. Lawrence the team was out classed at first, but rallied in the the second half with true spirit and became stronger as the game progressed. The game was a hard one to lose. Then came the Rochester game. Rochester brought a large crowd to Geneva and expected to win. For the first time in three years Hobart played Rochester on her own campus. Backed up by their own Hobart spirit and that of the student body, our 143 pounders surprised Rochester thoroughly', 11—o tells the story- Rochester papers said that the Rochester delegation out played us, and out yelled us. They also out weighed us. It was a well-earned victory, clean, open, well-played and pleasing to the spectators in every way. Thus was closed in a blaze of glory' a season which was made successful by perseverance and determination to succeed. 86 Varsity, 1906 Goal, Gutches Point, Nellis Cover point, Dwinelle ist defense, Jennings 2nd defense, McCray 3d defense, Bellringer Coach, Michaelson Manager, Center, Drummond 3d attack, Bradford 2d attack, Partridge ist attack, Riegel Out home, Hall On home, Patch Captain, McCray Weeks 87 Team of 1906 Standing:—Jennings, Patch, Drummond, Stettenbenz,Dutches, Bradford, Hammond, Clark, Sabin, Dwindle.

Football and baseball are examples of our ability to improve upon other people’s games,but Lacrosse is distinctly American. As far back as the white man can remember the game of baggataway, from which Lacrosse developed, was played by the Indians. It was a sort of religious ceremony, in which at times nearly a thousand players participated. The goals were from a half a mile to three miles apart. Modern Lacrosse, though differing much from the primitive game, is still very lively. The number of players has been reduced to twelve and the field is 125 yards long. The Indian method of grand- stand individual work has given way to team play. Science has been developed and chance diminished. Lacrosse is rapidly increasing throughout the United States. Lacrosse clubs are found in Buffalo, Rochester, New York, Philadel- phia, Baltimore, Pittsburg, Chicago, Detroit, St.Paul and other towns. Harvard, Columbia, College City of New York, Stevens Institute, Pennsylvania, Johns Hopkins, Baltimore City College, Swarthmore, Lehigh, Cornell and Hobart all have teams. Syracuse and West Point started the game this year. Yale and Princeton are thinking of taking it up. Hobart deserves to be congratulated on her 1906 season. Out of twelve games she won seven, lost four, and tied one. Hobart won from Cornell at Geneva, 6-0, and again at Ithaca, 5-1. Columbia went back to New York with a goose egg on her score, while Hobart was four to the good. Three games were played with our good friends the Rochester Lacrosse Club, two at Geneva, and one at Rochester. Hobart won the first, tied the second at Geneva, and lost at Roches- ter, 4—3. Buffalo’s fast, yet dirty playing team, lost to Hobart at Geneva, 2-1. Harvard swamped us at Cambridge by the large score of io-2, the same score that the crack Toronto University team ran up against us, Three games were played with Indians. The very first game of the season with the Onondaga Indians was won, 2-1. The second game against the Seneca Indians at Corfu was played and lost on a ploughed field, 2—3. The third Indian game against the Senecas was won at Geneva on Decoration Day, 2-1. In 1906, Hobart was admitted to the United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse League, but this admission did not take effect till Jan. 1, 1907. This was unfortunate, for Hobart twice defeated Cornell, the Intercollegiate Champions, and the cups now at Cornell would have been in Geneva. 90 Jfe - Boat House Lacrosse Game 9i College Row Varsity, 1906 Williams McSherry Pitchers Bremer, Capt.

The team first played the strong nine of Syracuse University, and while we outhit and out fielded them, their hits, coupled with costly bases on balls, enabled them to defeat us to o. At Cornell, we were defeated 7 o in a well played game considering the fact lhaL the diamond was a miniature lake. We next met the St. Lawrence Univer- sity team on our own field and defeated them in a well played game 6 o. After this game Coaeh Eichbergor left us to take up his duties and from this point on our success was not so apparent. In the league games we played good ball, but were very erratic, playing excellent ball at times and then having periods in which the playing was very yellow indeed. The absence of a coach throughout the last part of the season was very apparent and it showed the necessity of hav- ing a man well versed in the game with us throughout the season to hold the players together. This coming year we have secured Mr. George Frank as coach, and he will remain with the team from April 1, till June 1st. This will include the entire season. Everyone is looking forward to this new departure with much expectation and it is only to be hoped that this expectancy will be fully realized.

Visscher Frank E. Wilson Roger B. Foote Druid is the honorary Senior Society. It elects to membership men who during their college course, have shown the greatest interest in their college, and the highest degree of good fellowship toward the men. In short Druid endeavors to elect men of whom anyone would be proud to say: “He is a Hobart man.” The object of Druid is simply to give an incentive to every man in college to display this good fellowship and a good, wholesome college spirit. 102 L.

Through the generosity of William Smith, Esq., of Geneva, who erected and has for many years maintained the well-known Smith Observatory in this city, the sum of approximately four hundred and seventy-five thousand dollars (§475,000) was in December, 1906, offered to the Trustees of the College for the purpose of founding a School for Women. On December 11 the Board by a unanimous vote resolved to accept the proposal to establish the William Smith School as a part of Hobart College and to receive from Mr. Smith the money required for its foundation and maintenance; on December 13 the deed of gift was signed. This School will accordingly be co-ordinated with the men's department of Hobart College and will be under the management and supervision of its Trustees. Its educational interests will, under the general direction of the President of the College and its Trustees, be in charge of a special officer to be known as the Warden of the William Smith School. A lady is also to be appointed as Mistress of Smith House, who is to have the care of the young women of the school and act as their adviser and friend. The first step in the establishment of the new school was the purchase at a cost of twenty-seven thousand five hundred dollars (§27,500) of an extensive addition to the college site. This consists of a fine estate of some twenty-four acres in area, which was formerly owned by Mr. J. D. Patterson, and which the older alumni will remem- ber as the property of our late Trustee, Mr. William 13. Douglas. It is situated on rising ground immediately adjoining the old college campus, being bounded on the east by Pulteney Street and on the south by St. Clair Street. The beautiful Douglas or Patterson homestead will be reserved to the William Smith School for residential purposes, the spacious brick mansion on the summit of the hill pro- viding a suitable home for the young women; while nearer Pulteney Street and the old College grounds is to be erected at once the first building of a new College quadrangle, a large hall which is to be known as the William Smith Hall of Science. This building is to be equipped with Biological and Psychological laboratories and is also to contain such lecture rooms and offices as may be necessary for the efficient conduct of the school. Architects’ plans for this structure are now preparing and in the spring or summer ground is to be broken for it. The educational plan adopted is, as has been said, that known as the co-ordinate rather than the co-educational plan. Such a plan, while it bestows within the limits of the same institution ident- ical educational facilities upon men and women, also provides that the sexes shall be segregated, except perhaps in certain small and advanced sections, in the class-room. In accordance with this arrangement the Chemical Laboratory, the Physical Laboratory and other educational facilities of Hobart College are to be used by the women of the William Smith School, but at different hours from the men, whereas the laboratories and other educational facilities pro- vided by the Smith Foundation are in turn to be accessible, under similar conditions, to the men of Hobart College. The Library of Hobart, College is of course to be open to men and women in common and at the same hours. The Faculty of the College will be substantially enlarged to meet the demands of the new undertaking. Besides a | irofessor ( f Biolt gy, an assistant professor of Psychology and instructors in Mathematics, Physics, English and Modern Languages are in immediate prospect. It is also hoped to add a professor or an instructor in Political Econ- omy and Social Science. One or two other items of the general plan are worthy of notice. A religious service of an unsectarian character is to be conducted every morning in the William Smith House, known now as the Patter- son house. Presence at this service will be voluntary and on Sunday the women will be free to attend the churches of their choice. The Smith School is also at the outset to be represented upon the Board of Trustees of I-Iobart College by three Trustees, one of whom is to be a woman. Later, as resignations occur, this number is to be increased by two more, one of whom is to be a woman. The first three Trustees have already been elected. They are Mr. Theodore J Smith and Mr. Henry B. Graves, of Geneva, together with Mrs. Anna B. Comstock of Ithaca. 132 Wanted Good positions open to capable men. The Trustees of Smith Department of Hobart College are now ready to consider applications for the positions of:— President—A young man between 25 and 30 years of age. must be tail and dark, the kind that women love to look at. None but accomplished Fussers need apply. Secretary A perfect ladies’ man. One who can pour tea and hand out lemons to the fair ones on registration day and write just the dearest love letters. Treasurer One who can withstand the wiles of the fairest “coord and at the same time look as if it were a shame to take the money. Dean and Mathematics.—A perfect darling, one who can look into the depths of a pair of dreamy eyes and still think of other figures than those of women. Chemistry.—A Fusser who can analyze love and give formulae for a pro- posal and the results of experimenting in marriage. No engaged men need apply. German and French.—A man built like Apollo, with lots of curly hair and who can teach ‘Tch liebe dich and “Je t’aime to a class full of love- liness without getting fussed. Experience in a “coed college not required. Neither are particulars of his life in Paris. A sunny dis- position a prerequisite. Physics.—A man who can explain the relation of sparks to an undertone and can give the resultant of forces acting on a masculine body under the strain of love without losing his equilibrium. English.—A very tall, dark man preferred. One who can refrain from tel- ling shocking stories in class. i33 Philosophy—A man who can teach the innocent ones the basic principles of love and loving without losing consciousness. One who will define aest hetics with special reference to the beauties in his class. History—A man who can closely describe every detail of women’s dress of each period, how they wore their hair, what they paid for jewels and the most successful tricks of famous French women. Latin. -A man shaped like Adonis who will go no further than Amo te and proceed to prove his declaration. 134 Smith College ?oxDER Club 135 Smith and Members of the College Paint Powder Club SEASON Muirheid, Howe, - - Van Auken, - 1907-8 President Coach Manager PRINCIPALS Absconding treasurer Mary Lovall, a society belle.

Tom Farrell and the speaker Bill Dunham, or more politely William as his mamma3 called him were students3 of Hobart College and members of the best fraternity there. Now4 Bill was a city fellow;5 of course ’ he lived on South Main St. If he had lived anywhere else he could never have been the swell fellow that he is.7 He also8 had a pretty sister; indeed, she was more than that.9 There was an in- describable charm, a grace, an illusive something that attracted all the fellows to her,' She was so ympathetic; her large, luscious, , brown eyes would dwell13 on vosu with such 43 an interested look “Ah, yes, she would sweetly murmur,14 that is too bad, or enthusi- astically exclaim, “How brave of you to play with your sprained wrist ! Why! the pain must have been terrible. You poor boy! The last with such an appealing glance, that one could hardly'5 resist kissing her. At other times there was a twinkle, a sort of challenge, in her eyes, which seemed to say, Come on if you dare. '6 Still,’7she put one entirely at ease; at least, while with her. After- wards. a voice would keep ringing in your ears and a face appearing before your eyes.'8 Well, to continue our story, Norman Dunn, a fellow,19 jolly, good- natured, up to every kind of devilment30 roomed next to Tom. Norm,31 in negligee,33 was at the key-hole, a broad grin 33 on his face. Chuckling34 to himself, he nearly burst out laughing at the conversa- tion between Tom and Bill. Want to meet her, exclaimed Tom, “you old chump,35 you promised two months ago that you would present me. Say,30 I understand that you are twins.37 Why, some of the fellows said that you were the image of her.38 What do you think? Jim Dixon said that if you were dressed up as her he'd fall in love with you.” Well, rather, laughed Will, swelling out his chest and standing saucily39 before the mirror. “I am pretty good looking, don’t you think so?io I’m in with the girls. Gee, aren’t they fools tho’? If they only knew what we fellows thought of them.” 145 “Ah, go on, we all know that you have got a swelled head. But let's tend to the matter in hand, afterwards you can admire yourself. How am I going to meet your sister?” “Oh!” answered Bill, “that’s easy. vShe’s heard what a great foot- ball player you are, and especially what a fine figure 31 you have.” Saying ;his last33 he flourished a chair about his head, for discretion is the better part of valor when the other fellow is a football player. “Huh!” feeling the muscle of his brawny right arm. I wouldn’t34 con- descend to touch such a puny little fellow as you. But hurry up, if I am going to call on your sister to-night I'll have to hurry. “I'll tell you how it is,” replied Bill, cautiously putting down the chair. “You see, I have a date on myself this evening; it's one I wouldn’t break for the world.” But, as Tom muttered something under his breath? “I fixed it all up. She knows all about you. Besides. I’ve written a letter of introduction for you. Here it is,” tossing it upon the table, “ta-ta.”3S After he was gone, Tom began to spruce3'1 himself up, the while surveying himself with a satisfied air in the glass. “But,” examining himself with a critical eye, “guess I’ll shine up my shoes a little.” So he disappeared out one door. In a few minutes another door creaked a trifle, slowly swung open and disclosed a ghost like figure,37 which stole on tip-toe to the table, and seized the valuable letter, leaving another in its place. It was Norm. When Tom returned, he didn't suspect anything, for the letter was there alright.38 Then, Norm entered with a bland countenance. “Say, Tom, lend me your white tie, will you? I'm going to call on a young lady to-night. She’s dead gone on you.” “Ah, go on. I’m going to call on one myself. I'll just bet you that mine M is prettier than yours.” “Taken, how much shall it be.” “Oh! a box of cigars.” “All right, so long.” About an hour later Norm might have been seen hurrying up South Main St. Every once in a while, chuckling to himself, he would look over his shoulder. “Gee, Tom,4 dressing up yet. He 146 means to make a crush41 tonight, but here’s where he gets left.” I’d like to see him when he reads that fake41 letter.” Just then he arrived before a spacious stone house. He mounted the steps and rang the bell. A girlish form opened the door. “Why come right in Mr. Farrell. Just hang your things in the hall. Will lias told me all about you. Weren’t you the one who made the touch- down against Syracuse?43 How splendid, touching him slightly on the arm, and looking up into his face with her large, wondering eyes. “Besides, Will, admires you greatly so naturally, I had a desire to see what kind of a fellow his chum was. Will’s a pretty good sort of a chap, don’t you think so?” But Norm didn’t answer. To tell the truth, he couldn’t. His breath had been entirely taken away. “Gee,” he muttered to him- self, “I'm in a deuce 44 of a hole. She thinks I’m Tom. What shall I do? Oh, well, 1 might as well see it thro’.”45 “Well, Mr. Farrell, oh, excuse me. do you care if I call you Tom, that’s what Will always calls you. It sounds so much more as if we were friends. Any way, I think is so silly to sat mister 40 this and mister that. And you” she murmured, casting down her eyes, “may call me Daisy.” Norm was taken back by this. He was bashful as most of the Hobart fellows are.47 Besides, something seemed kind of queer to him: the house was so silent and the gas was turned rather low. She looked at him quizzically.48 She seemed to read his thoughts. Odd. isn’t it, how a girl can read a fellow's thoughts?49 “Well,” she laughed, opening the parlor door. “Everyone has gone and left me all alone. But I’m glad of it, aren’t you? We can have such a good time together. You have never seen our cosev-corner, have you ?’ ’ Norm looked curiously at her. Was this all true? “You’r5° a nice kind of a fellow,” he mumbled to himself, “playing yourself off on a girl for another fellow. Great Scott!3' I've never struck anything like this before; nobody home, lights turned low, a cosev-corner. A fellow’s no gentleman, who will impose upon a girl so.” He made a bolt for his hat and coat, sputtering out, “I've got to go. It's all amistake. You— I — Bill-----------ah---------you see, I-----I — 47 fawn’s,54 seemed full of pity for the poor fellow, but there was a roguish smile on her lips. She was beautiful and no mistake. All were hushed; they were struck dumb by her presence; moreover, she was standing right under the mistletoe. “Allow me to present you, Mr. Dunn to the other Miss Dunham, said Torn bowing very low. Daisy extended her hand; her eyes twinkled. “Pleased to meet you Mr. Dunn.” As he stepped forward, there was a, “you daren't do it,” expression on her face. Pleased to meet you Miss Dunham,” said Norm, and up and kissed her. Tom won the bet, but Norm took Daisy to the Junior Prom. CRITICAL NOTES TO A COMEDY OF ERRORS. 1. Elucidate: used in a loose sense; shows lack of instruction in English 1 Should read perhaps, to explain a feu! points to our readers. 2. Mamma and mama: Endearing and familiar words for Mother. Ask Moulton. 3. Students: Wrongly applied. All Hobart men are scholars. 4. Now: Misspelled. Should be naouw. 5. Fellow: Probably used here in its good sense. Cp. use of villian eight centuries ago. ( . Of Course: A DeQuinceyism. Probably picked up at the tst Presby- terian Church. Its use here is absurd. It does not follow that, as he lived in Geneva, of course he lived on Main St. 7. The sentiment of this line is wrong. Cp. Gray. Full many a pern of purest ray serene The dark unfathomed eaves of ocean hear, etc. He might have been as noble a youth if he had lived in the Bull-end. 8. Also: The author supposes that his readers know about all his pos- sessions except these. g. More than that: How rendered? Does it mean that his sister was more than that or does it refer to pretty. Cp. note 435 page 291 Turk's edition of DaQuineey. 10. This is a stock sentence when authors are unable to describe a “bunch of loveliness. 11. Luscious: Something good to eat. Probably influenced by study of French I to use words loosely. 1 2. Dwell: Means here to settle clown and lake out a homestead. 13. Such: Indefinite. Meaning varies with the subject dc rcgardcr. 149 i4- Murmur: Indicates bashfulness. 15 Hardly: Scarcely. 1 6. Come on, if you dare: Shows a faint Shakesperian influence. Cp. “Lead on, Macduff,” etc. 17. Still: most editors read easily or readily. 1S. This sentence reminds one of the story of Ulysses and the sirens. 19. Fellow: Should follow the adjectives. Again docs the author show some traces of the Howanian influence extracted from French I. 20. Devilment: Deviltry is the more common word. 21. Norm: Diminuativefor Norman. 22. Negligee: This word is easily traced to A 5 Medbery. It has taken such a firm root at Cornell that it could not be eradicated. Hence we find it in daily use. 23. Grin: This word is rightfully applied only to hyenas. Its origin must be French too. Consult Emerson's History of the English Language pp. 168-175. 24. Chuckling: Meaning uncertain. Evidently derived from ( hack to tap one under the chin and ling a diminutive. 25. Chump: A more polite word would have been blockhead. 26. Say: Useless to the context. Gives the speaker time to collect his thoughts. Very handy like of course etc. 27. You are twins: Awkward. The Greek dual would make the meaning clearer. Should read You two are twins. 28. Of her: Her. Shows lack of grammatical study. 29. Saucily: A peculiar word. Here it means in an affected attitude. 30. Don't you think so: English Don't cher know? 31. Thought: Most editors read think. 32. This sentence reminds one of the trite saying Believe half of what you see and none 0} what you hear. 33 This Last.r=rotai5e. 34 Supply not. 35. Ta-ta: Meaning obscure. 36 Spruce: A spruce tree has sticky gum. Maybe the verb to spr 1 ■ up means the dandified style of plastering down the hair. 3 7 Ghost-1 ike figure: Probably a man wrapped i n a slice t. 38. Alright: Ambiguous. May mean to be sure and untampered with. 39 Mine: Notice the tone of proprietorship the young man has assumed. 40 Tom: Ought to be Toni's. 4 x Make a crush: Slang.—To create a favorable impression. 42. Fake: By some unknown method the Is in false has changed to k. 43. Ha! discovered at last. Mr. Norman Dunn can be no other than Dicky Richards. 44. Deuce: So, Main St. swear word, evidently. '50 “Oh! that's alright. She looked at him with that pleading look of hers. “You'll stay, now won’t you? Why, 1 was going to make some Welsh rare-bit for you in my chafing-dish. Who could resist such a voice as that? Norm hesitated slightly, and then spoke up. “You’ll forgive me, won’t you? I didn't mean to be discourteous. To himself, “Suppose, Tom happens in now? I’m in a nice pickle, I am. So. with a queenly51 bow, she ushered him into the parlor. At first, she played for him on the piano. They were quaint little love songs, which she accompanied 51 with a voice that touched his inmost soul. He was thrilled thro and thro. lie sat bent over, his head in his hands, thinking. Suddenly, she turned around and courtesied, What do you think of that? Then she swept over and sat beside him on the couch. Quietly and softly they chatted together. He poured his whole heart out to her. Thus, matters went on for some time. But Norm kept hearing strange noises around the house. He asked her if he had not better investigate. “Oh, nr), she sweetly replied, It's onl}r the wind. “But what is that, he asked himself, “it sounds like stifled laughter. Suddenly, he looked her straight in the face, her lips were twitching, no mistake. Something was up. Just then, something tickled his neck. He looked around; nothing there. Something wet and mushy hit him in the cheek; a curtain moved. He jumped up. Suddenly there was a rush; he was grabbed by a lot of hysterical individuals; the room burst into a blaze of lights. The supposed Daisy threw off her wig; it was Bill. There was a babel of voices. “Oh, you’re an easy mark. Norm. 1 guess Bill didn’t fool him. “Gee, and to think that the joke was meant for Tom. Tust then to cap the climax, who should walk in but the real Tom and the real Daisy. Tom had a mock expression of surprise. “Why Norm, is this where you made your call? You see, your little trick didn’t work. I went to the dance and there met the belle of the season. At this juncture Daisy tripped into the room, slowly drawing off her gloves. As she looked at Norm, her liquid, brown eyes, like a 148 45- Thro: An example of “Teddy Roosevelt's phonetic spelling. 46. Mister: An Anglicized form of Prof. Howe’s pronunciation of Mon- sieur. 47.

S1 Hobart’s New Gymnasium The editors and the manager had extreme difficulty in obtaining this cut. “Crafty Van had 1,568 prints which he was giving out as souvenirs to those who had made this handsome building possible. When the editors and the manager arrived at “Crafty Van's “office lie had given away 1,567 prints and there were 68 benefactors clamor- ing for the last print. The picture was obtained by placing Woody in front for an entering wedge, with Drummond, Hooper, Patch and Bellringer behind him. Last of all came “Ducky” Durfee, who was to snatch the picture from Van. At the signal the Echo battening ram charged the crowd and cleared a lane to the window. As Durfee went past “Crafty Van he snatched the above print and dashed for the window'. The rest of the Board held off the infuriated Van and the other 68 howling maniacs while Durf hid the picture in one of the absolutely water-proof drains that keep the water on the campus. Two months later the picture was unearthed and its state of perfect preservation so rejoiced the Board that they celebrated by opening a keg of railroad spikes. As the reader can see from the above picture the “gym” is perfectly ideal. “Jimmie” Leighton will tell you that an ideal is something that can not be realized. Jimmie's idea of an ideal is perfectly erron- eous. The above picture is an absolutely faithful reproduction of an idealized ideal. Oh, 1906! and ye ancient alumni would that you w’ere here to use and to admire the magnificent structure •52 made possible by your gifts. You did not dream that your money would buy that mahogany wainscoting, those Cooper-Hewitt Mar- cury Vapor Lamps (Van decided it would reduce the prestige of the college to illuminate this noblest specimen of the Gothic art in the Western Hemisphere with those cheap electric or gas lights), those tubs of Parian marble carved by Praxiteles, and but recently recovered from the Aegean Sea by the Hobart Antiquarian Society, the coral plunge 150x200 feet, the ebony and rosewood dumbells and Indian clubs, the radium stoves and the wireless electric music box. Gaze with astonishment on the new vitrified-glass-brick-macadam floor. To the woods with Coxe Hall for the dances! This floor is guaranteed to be absolutely frictionless. Therefore, as no energy will be wasted in dancing, athletes can attend dances before games without any danger of losing the game until the next day. Finally a new cleaning and air filtering plant has been installed. This will of course throw “Jan” out of a job, but he has enough to do to keep the old “gym” in its present state of tidiness for the Freshmen. The Board of Editors think the student body is to be congratulated on this great addition to Hobart's equipment. We also hope that when Mr. Van Auken sees how absolutely necessary a picture was to give a good idea of this handsome structure he will overlook the means that were employed to attain the end. For the end justifies the means. N. B. As the Echo goes to press it has been found necessary to add a few words. You will have observed that there is no cut in the Echo. No engravers could be found in the United States, Canada, Great Britain or Germany, who felt that they could reproduce the photograph and do justice to the original. Therefore, the Board has had the picture framed and hung in the Copely Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, where it will remain till the year 2189, when it is hoped that every living person in the world may have a ten by twelve Copely print of this structure in their home. NOTA BENE By this time next year this description will have been justified. Prexy has all the money for the new Gym.—Editor s Note. 153 154 The Faculty One night not long ago when on my bed I laid my weary, aching little head Old Morpheus, sleepy messenger of the gods Who always in his heavy precinct nods Came to my side, and spoke in accents low, “Upon a trip to Hell you've got to go. For there are many wondrous sights to see Chiefcst of these, the Hobart Facultie.” Accordingly I went and I did find Far queerer sights than any mortal mind Can e’er conceive. Satan was seated there And passing slow before his great throne chair A strange procession went with step full slow And mournful, and each one with head bowed low. The first received grave sentence; loud and clear Did Satan's accents reach my list'ning ear. “Langdon, for all the sins you've d me on earth You here must pay for each of them full worth. Noboughten twirlcr Hobart has this year. For that full twenty years shalt thou st ay here. Except for this we all for you have love And afterwards you may go to heaven above.’’ The next in line could not walk, so of course Dear little Mac came, mounted on a horse. It was old Billingsgate whom we’ve oft seen And Thomas Bellringer once painted green. His rider seemed quite crushed beneath his years Of grief; and thus to him stern Satan spoke. “In your long life, Mac, you have done much wrong To pay for which will take indeed a long Time. Often you’ve made men rave; You think your pupils are or should be slaves. Each day, all the Greek poets you'll recite Ten prods you get for every line not right.” This was his sentence. At the next name told, Even in 11 ell, the atmosphere grew cold 55 ( 1 1 iceburg Nash they slowly shuffled in, lie croaked because on earth he once did grin. And Satan said, ‘What Cicero would say In Hades we don’t care for. Anyway For every F in Latin you have given Fifty years longer you’ll stay out of I leaven.

To heaven you'd best 23. In came the Warden just as grim as ever It pained him deeply from the girls to sever. This was his sentence, “With a merry lot Of girls, bright Turk, experience have you got.

TS7 Unparalled Insults OFFERED TO The most eminent representative shade of the Greek tragedians in the United States [Special to the Hacks Sensationalist.'’] Geneva, X. V., Jan. 31, 1907. Our special correspondent at Hobart College reports that Prof. McDaniels was set upon late last evening 1 y envi us members of the college faculty. As all inhal itants of Hades know Prof. McDaniels is accustomed to make a daily visit on his friends Aeschylus. Herodotus, Thucydides and Homer for the purpose of replenishing his knowledge of Greek. Just before he com- menced his upward journey he told a “Sensationalist reporter that all the classes were so advanced that the Professors were hardly holding their end up. Somehow or other the other members must have learned that Little Mae had some secret source of knowledge, for he was keeping ahead of his classes, and determined to discover that source. Little Mac was driving his famous horse, Billingsgate, up the hill in front of Geneva Hall from the boat-house entrance to Hades when he was suddenly attacked by a band of cut throats led by the envious Woodman and ever antagonistic Latin, Nash. Little Mac” was now put to a series of indignities. First he was compelled to hunt up Jan, unhitch Billingsgate and show Jan the patent Homeric method of dancing with the Satyrs. Then he was compelled to put on a Greek bathing costume and show how Leander used to swim the Hellespont. Then he was obliged to race Billings- gate to the Methodist Church and arriving there .00368 V sec. before that fleet courser was made to imitate Cerebeus. Alt ho “Little Mae”has only one head and tongue he did this so successfully that Cerebeus died from envy and now, alack-the-day, our shores are now never safe from invasion. Last of all Woodman the Envious made him divulge the source of his vast knowledge. This forcible violation of our oath of secrecy caused that immense tidal wave that threw ■5� Charon's boat clear over Pluto’s palace, lie was then allowed to go home. People of Hades, can this be endured? Shall Woodman the Env- ious, Nash the thinks-he-knows-every-language, and that precursor of Comedian dielletantes, the ever-eloquent, absolutely-temperate Howe, lie allowed to share with “Little Mac this everlasting source of learning? Shall we allow Howe to come down here, drink deep from this sacred spring of eternal wisdom and return to earth to enlighten the wilderness south of Cayuga Lake? No! No! a thousand times No! Rather than that root out every trace of the Latin and Germanic languages at Hobart College! Rather than rob the World of that paragon of learning and bring “Little Mac back to Hades to teach Aeschylus and Plato how the Greek language was derived from the Hindoo, the Hindoo from the Chinese and the Chinese from the fish that swim the sea, rather than deprive the students of I lobart of the chance of learning that new, sublime dacty- lic, rhomboid meter which Little Mac has appropriately named the Eni-me-ny-my-ne-mo verse, rather than this the Sensationa- list” advocates the abolition of every course at Hobart except Greek. In short rear to Greek learning a monstrous tower and on the top place “Little Mac the ideal Greek scholar, that all who see it may realize how utterly unattainable is an education while such foes of Greek learning as Woodman the Envious, Nash the Cold, and Iiowe study-for-my-class-alone-all-the-time are still on earth. Down with t he enemy! Vigeat Greek. W 59 The College? Open the old Echo, give me time to think; Let me recall sweet memories by these little drops of ink. Open the old cover—let me think for a while, Which is truly the better—dear old College, or a wifely smile? Which is the greater blessing—knowledge in this world of strife Or to lie tied to a single woman, and forced to call her your wife? Knowledge the College tried to give me, asking naught in return. But my time I wasted in dreaming and my lessons I’d never learn. Let me go back to the College and mix with the fellows again ; Let me go with the fellows and smoke in the smoker, our Den. Let me be young again, and go back to the college just for tonight. Let me be young again and mix in the Sophomore-Freshman fight. But as I drop the Echo—and my thoughts they cease to roam, I murmur, I love the dear old College, But for me, give me Nome Sweet Home. 160 A Co-Ordinate Deliverance “That’s where this co-ordinate education could lie of real value,” said Jimmy Van Alstine to no one in particular. It was Mrs Fair- childs' day at home and in the long drawing room there were just enough people to make things nice and convenient, things meaning in this case conversation and tea. Mr. Van Alstine found himself where he did not like to he. alone on a long chintz covered Davenport. He would have much preferred being in one of the little groups about the room, those groups which, in Luzerne, always form at every social affair. The clique is the keystone of society in the little college towns along the Ohio river. But Jimmy Van Alstine was not one to sit calmly by and eat sandwiches, hence his remark. Of course, made apropos of nothing at all, it came out with all the force of a detached remark made when a room buzzes with many conversations. It won for him the very thing he coveted. “How do you mean, of real value,” said Mrs. Fairchilds thought- fully. “Come over here and tell me,” and she motioned him to an uncomfortable looking chair of some sort of carved wood which every one had purposely avoided. Really she did not care a bit about co-ordinate education, but she did like an argument ; it was a sort of passion with her, this clashing of wits together. She was a clever woman and Luzerne with its pettiness and overpowering dullness bored her. “It’s about this new man,” said Van Alstine with affected earnest- ness, “this Crowe who came from Northwestern and wants to turn everything upside down. You've heard, haven’t you ?” “Yes, quite a little,” this with a sympathy of voice only, “but do tell me more,we of the Faculty are so shut out of most of the gossip; its heretical in me to listen but the doctor is out to a Faculty meeting. Please tell me lots.” Van Alstine expanded as does that variety of fancy pigeons dear to a boy’s heart. And then he talked, and oh, how he could talk. No tale that came to him left clothed as before. lie trimmed and ruffled and panneled with fictional embroidery all the gossip he heard. Poor Dr. Crowe when he came forth in Van Alstine's conver- gi sation was a monster far excelling Bluebeard. He had trampled customs sacred to the youth of Fontaine college ruthlessly under foot, lie was trying to make of the old college a machine-like place similar to the greater institution from which he had come and whose ugly yellow buildings still smelled of plaster and where no ivys yet covered their hideous factory-like outlines. And much of what the student said was true, as Mrs. Fairchilds knew, but she wanted to come back to the issue. “But what can the poor girls do in this case, she queried, holding the sugar for her tea tentatively. “They can break his heart and make him leave Fontaine.” Van Alstine brought it out with the air of a. Christopher Columbus dis- covering Cuba. Mrs. Fairchilds let the sugar fall into her cup with a disgusted splash. “Bah,” she said, “how absurd.” She was dis- appointed in Van Alstine. But he had given her a cue for the next guests who just then threaded her way through the groups of callers toward the hostess. “How do you do, Margaret,” and Mrs. Fairchilds shook hands with the newcomer, Mr. Van Alstine has just been telling me his idea of your mission here, he thinks the co-ordinates should break Dr. Crowe’s heart and make him resign. Really,” said Miss Douglass, throwing back her coat and settling herself comfortably in a big basket chair, “how can he expect it when he persists in keeping us out of the dramatic club. Really we might be heart breakers if we could only shine behind the footlights, two lumps, thanks, and lemon.” She had disposed of his theory of deliverance casually and hardly glanced at him. This made Van Alstine squirm and her thrusts about dramatics struck home. Not being quick at repartee he was silent. Mrs. Fairchilds laughed, a low,mirthless sort of chuckle. “Besides,” went on Miss Douglass, “I think an essential is missing, no one believes Dr. Crowe to have a heart.” “Do you think he has, Margaret?” Mrs. Fairchilds was all interest. “Ves, I must be unorthodox and say I do, she looked at Van Alstine with a sort of defiance. The long plume in her broad brimmed hat nodded in a sinister way. 162 “You, on the side of the Philistines,” Van Alstine almost gasped it out, “I had always thought you an Isrealite of the Isrealites I had counted on your being our Judith.” Miss Douglass smiled. “I love to hear you talk Biblical, you know so little about it.” “He busted you out of German Six,” came back in an aggrieved tone from the man. “And why not, I knew absolutely nothing. I admire him for asking me to leave the class.” “You will fie our deliverence after all,” he said triumphantly.” “You won’t do it for us, but you'll do it, and when he leaves I’ll tell you what I’ll do. I’ll make the Dramatic club let you girls in, is it a bargain?” “What a transaction.” The hostess laughed, “It sounds like a labor union wrangle,” she was enjoying the tilt to the utmost. “I’ll think it over,” said the girl, looking at the frosting a cake had left on her glove. “I was only joking,” he said getting up to go. He did not like the serious turn things had taken. One by one the groups broke up but Mrs. Fairchilds asked Margaret Douglass to stay on. “Do you really like him, Crowe?” Mrs. Fairchilds looked into the girl’s face eagerly. They were alone before the yellow' blaze on the hearth. “Not a bit, in fact his eastern airs and bragginess grate on me terribly, but do you know I can’t help feeling sorry for him.” She looked into the (lames thoughtfully, her elbows on her knees. The elder woman felt she understood and said nothing. “The students are horrible to him, they act not only discourteous but mean. You heard about the bulletin board placard and the mass meeting. Oh how? such cutting sarcasms must hurt. Then he don’t play bridge and that damns him socially in Luzerne. I wonder if wre understand him. I don’t think we do. He must have a good side.” “1 think you’re going to find it, dear.” and Mrs. Fairchilds put her arm about the girl’s waist as they walked down the. hall. “Don’t 163 lose your heart llm, in your explorat if ms. She smiled at the depart- ing guest. When the door closed she still smiled. Pity, she said, it be- gins so often with pity. She thought she saw a romance ahead. Quickly she stepped to her escritoire and taking out her engagement book wrote the name of Margaret Douglass beside that of Augustus Crowe in her dinner list. They will surely announce it before commencement, Elizabeth Perry made the statement not as one having authoritative sources of information but rather as a speculation. The girls who were going down to Physics lab sat on the steps of Jones’ hall waiting for some stragglers. The dark red walls of the quaint house and the ivy hung veranda made a good setting for the bright faces of the co-ordinates. That they were pioneers in the world of education, they seemed to mind not all. Hardships, if they had any, left no traces. I hope so and I hope his salary is so small he can't support her here. It was Elfrieda Sissons who spoke. Everyone laughed for the standing of Miss Sissons in German was notoriously bad, even in this year of low marks due to the Northwestern standard introduced. That her temper carried out the prophecy of her auburn hair was also indisputable and so her relations with Dr. Crowe were far from pleas- ant. Two or three girls came out of the house and down the bright green of the Jones' college campus, the group strolled toward the gray gaunt looking Fontaine laboratory. There was safety in numbers these girls thought, so they invaded the ordinates territory in a phalanx. Out toward the fields on the other side of the hill on which Jones college stood commandinglv asserting boldly that all men and women should have free and equal educational facilities, walked the man and girl who had inspired this gossip. In the eight months which had passed since the trivial talk around the Fairchilds samovar, the two colleges had talked much about Margaret Douglass and Augustus Crowe. She’s the last girl I held ever suspected of being an angler like the mythical Bluffs in the opera, said one of the faculty wives. She has mighty poor taste, growled Van Alstinc regretting 164 more than ever his careless words at the Fairchilds’ tea. He liked Margaret too well to see her on such pleasant terms with the ever- hated Crowe. The girls in Jones hall laughed uproariously when Margaret invited the “breakfast food’’ professor as her guest at the co-ordinate cotillion. They were amused because it infuriated their arch enemies, the ordinates. But they shook their heads dubiously when he began to call regularly and as many invitations to dinner came to her, at all of which they learned he took her in. They tried in their ineffectual girlish way to stop what the} considered ex- ceedingly unconventional conduct. A professor and a co-ordinate, indeed, it would hurt their standing at Fontaine; they would be dubbed husband seekers. So they murmured but Margaret Douglass baffled them. She was far too clever to be turned aside from her intention by their babblings. And after he had taken her to the Junior prom the gossips in Jones hall gave up all hope of saving Margaret. The men of Fontaine received the affair with all the sarcasm they as ordinates looking down on Jones hall and its occupants could command : And that was a good deal. Augustus Crowe was talking with animation as he walked beside Margaret Douglass down the dusty St. Francis roa 1. It was a characteristic of the man that he always had the same quality of animation in conversation. IIis whole face moved when he spoke and one wondered if this mouth would ever again regain its normal shape. His blue eyes sparkled. He had nice eyes, as even the worst German student in Jones hall admitted. Today he was on his pet theme, his travels abroad. Something in the landscape, perhaps the sycamores, had started him on the Loire valley. Margaret listened with a divided interest. She liked his talk, for in spite of his omnipresent egotism, he had a wonderful knack of reproducing for the listener all he had seen, but today she was wondering how soon this affair with him would end. With a woman's intuition she had divined the question in Elizabeth Perry's eyes as she passed her on t.he veranda. “Are you going back this summer?” she asked when he paused fora second in his stream of talk. 165 “I I don’t know yet, be said falteringly and blushed. Margaret Douglass knew that the end was near. He was silent for many minutes and when he spoke it was not of France; he was talking of an old German fairy tale. It was about a maiden who had compassion on an ugly repulsive dwarf, and of how her kindness made the deformed being change imperceptibly until one day she chanced to see his reflection beside her own in a brook and lo, he had changed into a charming prince. It was a quaint story and he told it well. There was a something in his voice she had never heard there before. I think we shall find violets near those willows, she said irrelevant- ly. She had a woman's idea of the proper setting for a proposal. They sat down in the little patch of blue and green and gathered the blossoms in silence. She leaned across to pluck one of the flowers which held its head high above its fellows. As she glanced up her eyes looked straight into the blue ones of Augustus Crowe. He had taken off his spectacles and there was something boyish in his features despite the round bald head and the unengaging gaunt throat. Did it occur to you that I am like that dwarf and that your are my fairy princess. Margaret?” There was a deal of appeal in that round face. Professor Crowe, she said, getting up quickly, I never expected this of you.” Why not, I’m a man. There was sullenness in the retort. “You have spoiled what I prized as one of the best intellectual friendships of my life, she said with affected sadness pinning the flowers in her corsage. You have torn apart and ruined the only romance of my life. He threw his violets on the ground. They walked home silently. Professor Crowe is going to leave this June, lie’s resigned, announced Elfrieda Sissons at luncheon two days later. “I’ve more important news than that,” said Elizabeth Perry triumphantly. The dramatic club wants twenty girls, real girls, us, for the June opera. It's on the bulletin board, signed Van Alstine.” 160 “Aren’t you glacl Margaret, what makes you so glum, said Elfrieda. “Yes, I’m glad. But there was no joy in the voice of Margaret Douglass and her eyes were not at all happy. She went out on the veranda and looked sadly down at the Fontaine dormitory. “Poor little crooked dwarf, she said and threw down a bunch of withered violets. Monokf. C.

Joy everywhere. Balance. A purpose in everything. The Propos e'd Gymnasium and Ca e The cut on the proceeding page is one of the proposed Gymnasium and Cage. It is but one of a number of pictures and plans prepared by Gay and Nash of New York. The site to be occupied by the new building is the vacant space on the College grounds lying to the west of Medbery and to the north of Coxe Hall. In the cut the building to the right is Medbery, whereas the front of the Gymnasium faces the north end of Coxe Hall. The entrance, however, is to be on the Medbery side. The prospective structure consists of two sections. The front and smaller section has a trophy and lounging room on the first floor and the Gymnasium proper on the second. This section is 24x51 feet. The rear and larger section is a cage of 95x48 feet. The cage is in fact the outstanding feature of the plan. It contains a running track and is to be used also as a practice ground for the various College teams during the winter. It is a necessary feature of our new equip- ment and will give the men not only a chance for preparing them- selves for future contests in the field but an opportunity to obtain that daily physical exercise which the inclement winters of Geneva make almost impossible out of doors. Under both sections of the building there runs a basement, which is to contain bowling alleys, swimming pool, lockers, showers, a kitchen and a dining room. The construction is to be of brick faced with terra cotta and in harmony with the neighboring buildings. The cost, everything included, is estimated at $32,000. Already the entire sum has been subscribed, including the generous gift of Mrs. Charles D. Vail and of Mr. Hiram Sibley of Rochester, of $5,000 each, and $22,000 from other sources. The Gymnasium should appeal to Genevans; for it will be the nursery of the teams whose games our fellow townsmen attend and enjoy. The city should take interest in the College even as the College takes pride in the city. The two have lived together now for eighty years. 178 Acknowledgment The Board of Editors desire to thank most heartily all those who have in any way aided them in getting out this volume. They especially thank those who, although they did not have any connec- tion with the college, nevertheless helped them as much as they were able. The cooperation Qf members of the student body is, so to speak, obligatory, but that of outsiders is not; and therefore we thank them again. i So Patronize Our Advertisers ¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥ COLLEGE MEN IN DEMAND Search for 1907 men who will be in th- market for positions next summer or fall b already on.
