aHri lErljfl of ilj? § ?ttfra nineteen hundred twelve VOLUME L Published by the Junior Class of Hobart College MCMXI ELON HOWARD EATON Elon Howard Eaton was bom in Springville, N. Y.. Oct. 8, 1866. I Ic came of an old English American family which had immigrated to this country about 1635. Mr. Eaton's early school days were inter- rupted by ill health and so he was sent into the woods and fields where first began that knowledge of and enthusiasm for the study of nature and animals which has continued all his life. In 1881. he entered Griffith Institute, Springville, N. Y., where he prepared for college entering Rochester University in 1885. While in college, Mr. Eaton had a brilliant athletic record playing tackle on the football team and representing his college in sprinting, hurdling, and high jumping. II is record for the 220-yard dash, twenty-two and two-fifths seconds, has never been equalled in Rochester. During the school year of 1888-1889, he taught in Canandaigua and so it was not till 1890 that he received his degree A.B. At his graduation he was elected to i it k and three years later his Alma Mater honored him with the degree of A. M. F r the next four years he taught in Canandaigua Academy, leav- ing to accept the position of Master of Science in Bradstreets School in R ehester. With the exception of one year spent as graduate student in Biology in the School of Philosophy, Columbia University, where he was also prominent in athletics, he continued with this work till coming to Hobart to become professor of Biology in 1908. Mr. Eaton is a member of the American (frnithologist Union and of the American Forestry Association. He is a fellow of the Rochester Academy of Science and of the American Association for the advance- ment. He is also actively engaged in the Boy Scouts Movement, being a scout master. Although he never sought for public office, he was recently prevailed upon to act on the Geneva Health Board, where his knowledge of the right thing to do is of great advantage. He is the author of several important books among which are: “The Birds of Western New York, 1901, and “Birds of New York, Memoir IV, New York State Museum, 1910. He is also a member of the advisory council of “Bird Lore and also since 1906 has been State Ornithologist. 3 With our limited space it is hard to portray such a one as Prof. Eaton whose whole scheme of life is so broad and whose interests are so many. Were he but a biologist, the task would not be so difficult, but he is a man whose knowledge extends over so many fields that we are bewildered. Nor does his influence extend only over his lecture rooms. Teaching a course that is of itself interesting to most college men, he enlarges upon his subject to such an extent that already his courses are among the most popular on the curriculum. Bringing into the class room that enthusiasm and love of the out of doors that he seems to embody, he seems not to be lecturing but to be answering the very questions that we want to ask him. He has always been an uncomprising advocate of temperance in all things, but his knowledge of college men is too great to lay down for them a set of “Don’ts. Rather by appealing to the better nature of his classes, has he sent more than one of us from his room with resolutions to do better. But no praise of mine could be greater than the verdict that Hobart has passed on him all during his stay with us. Prof Eaton is square. And so to our true friend and be- loved Professor “Wearing all that weight Of learning lightly like a flower. We dedicate this book. THE 1912 “ECHO” BOARD Editor-in-Chief William M. Quinn Clubs Maxwell Corydon Wheat Literary Alfred Taylor Knapton Faculty Theodore Henry Warner Athletics MacGregor MacMartin; Jr. Art Philip Schuyler Church Business Manager Francis Keith Lawrence FOREWORD The Emo makes its annual reappearance with the usual apolo- gies. ()ne by one the high ideals with which we started have been abandoned, either thru impracticability or impossibility. We, the hoard, have labored to the best of our small abilities and have been ably aided by friends to bring forth an annual worthy of the college and of the class. In so far as we have done this, we are satisfied; in so far as we have failed, we thn iw ourselves on the charity of our readers. We now submit our labor to you, Mr. Alumnus, hoping that we have “echoed” some of the college life you lived; to-you, Fellow Student, praying that you will pardon its faults; and to you, Prospective Student, hoping it may contain something that will bring you to the college we love.

Shall we be sad or rejoice? True we have reached the goal that we have striven for and arc satisfied with the result of work well done; but still soon we are to say good-bye to old Hobart and to those friends we have made here during the last four years. No more arc we to be sheltered under Alma Mater's protecting wing, or to be guided and advised by the Faculty. It is, indeed, with conflicting emotions that we go out into “the wide, wide world. Nineteen eleven has done her part in making Hobart’s history. Successful to the usual degree were we during our underclass scraps, and we flatter ourselves in saying that our class spirit of our under- class days was all transformed into real college spirit later. We have striven to do our best. Small always in numbers we have, nevertheless, kept the most of our men, and with additions from other colleges and classes, we graduate nearly as many as we matriculated. We have but one thing left us to do for our Alma Mater and that is to prove as good alumni as we have undergraduates. We regret that we must leave Hobart on the eve of her long awaited growth, but our labors here are ended and our day of opportunity come. 33 Senior Class Members Malcolm Beckwith Ayres, m a x, Classical, D Medbery Hall Spuyten Duyvil, N.

And fain would he that some nobler pen had the task when lie thinks how very poor the English language is in words of majesty of power, of superexcellence. Now if this could be written in Latin where there are such words as “optimus “sacerri- mus and the like, I might fitly describe mv class. But as posterity must be served, I will do my best, ever bearing in mind that whatever I write of 1912 now w ill be eagerly read when the class has gone out in the wide, wide world. I am boastful, you say. Then glance with me over our past. Wonderfully successful we Were in all our freshman “scraps, you remember. And in our Sophomore year we did what no other Sophomore class has ever done when we won the Banner Scrap. This year we had the satisfaction of seeing our proteges, 1914. more than hold their own against 191.4. But scraps are trivial matters to us, now. And so I ask you to look at our athletes, our students, our prize winners, our leaders in every undergraduate activity, from drinking clubs to civic societies. True our numbers are small, but we who are left are trying our best to make up in enthusiasm, in hard work and in quality what we arc denied by our small numbers. We arc now upperclassmen and as we approach our Senior year we are becoming fittingly grave. We understand what we must do to govern wisely the larger Hobart that “Prexie has promised us next year.

Shall I say that with its advent, Hobart began to show signs of a new life? Indeed, I may say all that, and with no little degree of truth. Do you ask me now, how I can support such state- ments? Tis easy enuf. We began to show our mettle early last year, for before we had been in college many days, we spent a pleasant evening on the campus with Mr. Nineteen-twelve and won our first scrap from him. Thus, we began the year with victory, and in the same way we ended it. for in the “Flour-rush”—well I am too modest to relate the details of the encounter and let it suffice to say, that we showed our dear old friend, Mr. Twelve, every advantage which flour and water possess. When we came back as Sophs this year we remembered the fate of our predecessors and were perhaps, almost afraid to become well acquainted with Mr. Fourteen. But our fears were soon dispelled. We gave that gentleman, the same kind of pleasant, evening on the campus, as we gave Mr. Twelve. Apart from these pleasant struggles, we as a class, have kept in line, in all other college activities. In athletics, especially, our men have well supported the teams and have worked hard to bring our college into the front ranks. In short, we have showed that one characteristic which is so necessary to the making of a good class or college—I mean class and college spirit. However, let us not waste our time musing over the past, lest we refuse our golden opportunities in the present, and lose ourselves in the future.

It is a history full of deeds accomplished. Many handicaps were overcome; and. in the end, we are a victorious and happy class. With many misgivings we looked forward to the time when we should meet our rivals. We had not as many men, as were expected. ()ur number was small; but our hearts were stout. In the first rush we were worsted. It was not because we lacked courage; but simply because our rivals had seen some service in that kind of warfare. ()ur turn will come again. In the individuals our champions showed their true worth by keeping us from another defeat. The Seniors then entertained us very hospitably. Every one was made to feel at home and at his ease. In an exhibition wc showed just what we could do in the rowing line. Our men pulled well. We put Roosevelt and Kermit to shame in the fiercest kind of jungle hunt. It was also seen that there was plenty of talent among us for the Paint and Powder Club. Refreshments were served; and just after the clock tolled twelve we dispersed. That was a sad night for the poor “Sophs.” Again, at a later time, we made them feel their humility. With a team of representative men, we showed the Sophs just how a tug-of- war should be carried out. Victory again! On that same day, we again demonstrated our superiority over our rivals by decisively winning the Cane-Rush. Sophs had planned to win this, but their plans failed dismally. Another victory for 1914! It was in the banner-scrap, however, that we showed our sterling qualities. Deceiving everyone, we raised our banner on a day when the Sophs hardly dared to come out for fear of cold feet. We defied wind and Sophs for twenty-four hours, and, at the end, the banner of 1914 was still gloriously lloating over our heads. Twice did the faint hearted Sophs come; and twice were they thrown back. They had not enough courage left to try again. A great victory for 1914! What pleasant memories do wc have of our Banquet ! Happy memories of Eva and several other equally attractive waitresses, an irate, but getting-rich-quick hotel-keeper, and, finally, of a hay seed detective. Oh those speeches! They were simply great! The pleasantest thought, however, is that speech made by our own original “Moike.” Successful in the beginning of our course, we hope to be successful in its completion, and in the further advancement of our Alma Mater.

At the beginning of the season, with only a few old men out, we saw only gloomy prospects. Half way through the season light began to appear. At the end of the season, everyone was more than satisfied. “Pete Reynolds bv his unstinted work got the team licked into shape for the Hamilton game, which was rather easy. Next came Rensselaer Polytechnic, who were defeated after a stiff game. These two victories put every man upon his mettle, and aroused a college spirit, which under the zealous care of “Wild Bill Quinn lasted the season out, and will last many more to come. What effect this spirit had upon the team was shown at Syracuse. Facing a team which had played rings around Carlisle the week before, our men showed a combination of spirit and speed which kept the orange on the jump. We scored on them moreover; now came one of the hardest games of the year, Union at Schenectady. Reports had been ripe concerning the strength and speed of the Garnet team. The delight of the loyal supporters of the Purple and Orange knew no bounds when the wires announced the score 5 o in our favor. Just to keep the men in shape Alfred was played at Geneva. ur defense was tried, out but we absolutely could not refrain from piling up twenty-eight points to their five. Now came our yellow adversaries, Rochester. For ten days “Pete and “Tom Folger worked like titans and when they got through the team had any dynamo stopped for speed, scrap, and smooth running. The day of the game saw every man in college embarked on a trolley for Rochester accompanied by a crowd of loyal Genevans. Although the game ended in a tie. we outpointed them as was shown by our getting the State Intercollegiate Pennant. No individuals may be picked as stars. To mention them all simply would be giving the line-up. But three men will he lost-— Palmer, D. Wood and Cook. These three are all men who have done much for their Alma Mater in many ways. We’ll miss 'em a lot. May good luck go with them. This is the first time the much-coveted pennant has ever hung in the trophy room. Its a start toward covering the walls. Next year we—Oh, what's the use! Barry will he captain; Pete will coach. Nuf sed. LACROSSE Lacrosse Varsity, 1910 Goal, A. A. Barmore I J. C. Donnei.i., (Capt.) I 'I'. H. Warner Cover point, J. C.

But two holes were left by gradua- tion and these were both quickly and ably filled. The athletic council hired an expensive coach and an early spring gave the fellows every advantage. The first game was against the Syracuse Lacrosse Club, a weak team which we easily defeated. The next week we tackled the very good Rochester Rangers and held them to a tie. The Rangers later beat the Crescents. Our first league game was against Columbia and we fairly overwhelmed them 12 to 1. Over- confidence manifested itself and as the coach did not insist upon strict training, the rest of the season was disastrous. However, the trip to Boston was commenced in the belief that Harvard would be defeated easily. They were unexpectedly strong, however, especially their center field, and played all around us, winning .s 1. This discouraged the team and not a semblance of training was observed for the rest of the season by a large number of the men. Coach Garvey, good player that he was, was no man to make a team fight and besides eternal wranglings hurt the team badly. We played a good game against the Crescents, however, and upon returning home gave Cornell a hard fight. The Torontos won from us easily as was expected but the miserable exhibition at Ithaca made everyone feel blue. While the season was a disappointment in nearly every way it has taught us a lessen and this season we expect a winning team although wc lose heavily by graduation. Last year the attack was brilliant at times but rather erratic,the center field being the strongest part of the whole team. E. V. K. Dwindle played easily the star individual game. With the exception of the Harvard game the center men outplayed their opponents but the inner defense was very weak and out of condition. At goal, Bar- more was a wonder, his work in many games exciting great enthusiasm. But on the whole the team never found itself after the game with Columbia. VV -n I ) FVt.

Once that Coach Sparks got his men placed we won from all our opponents, but the fact that we had only three days of practice before the big trip of the year, late in May, will show how that time was delayed. We opened the season with a victory over Auburn, but cold weather prevented the return game. Syracuse found us easy and Rochester won two games. We started on the trip without a catcher but after losing the first two games to Colgate and Hamilton, Reg” Wood went behind the bat and the team commenced to win. Union was the first victim, Don” Wood pitching a nice game. St. Lawrence did manage to “cop” a lucky game, but the team revenged itself on poor Clarkson. The team came home, got in some real practice and were ready for Hamilton. Rain saved the Buff and Blue and so the first home victim was Union again. They had a great pitcher, O'Keefe, but Hobart won out by a garrison finish scoring the two needed runs with two out in the ninth. Colgate, flushed with a victory over Rochester, came down to clinch the pennant, but although we hated to give the bunting to Rochester we were determined to defeat the maroon. Don” Wood pitched a marvellous game. Errors time and again got him in bad, but he kept his head thruout and we finally won out in the tenth. Don” Wood fullty earned the title of the best pitcher in the league and was ably held up by his kid” brother. Although playing a new position the latter acquitted himself splendidly. Captain Williams at third base played a great game all season encouraging the team and giving it the benefit of all his large baseball knowledge. Stebbins was the best hitter on the team and played nicely at short. Palmer played nice ball at the keystone and fully deserves his honor as this year’s captain. Eschmann changed off with “Don” Wood in the box and on first and played hard, consistent ball all season. The outfielders all played well all three being sure fielders but none were very good batters. Prospects for this spring were never better. We lose only Cap- tain Williams, Whedon and Eschmann and the wealth of material in 1914 assures us of a chance for the pennant.

THE ECHO OF THE SENECA Here in this prosperous region, where orchards, meadows, and grain- fields Range o’er the countryside. Once in its grandeur lowered the forest, Rugged, majestic, primeval, a wilderness, vast and unbroken. Pathless, save where the trails of the red men led to the water, Or to their lodges and wigwams, which stood on the site ol' our city. Hunting and fishing, this Indian people, peaceful and happy, Lived in their freedom and savage simplicity, ruled by their chieftains. Here by their lake, the Sachems of Seneca Nation held council. As was their time-honored custom, to judge what was good for the people. Rose up the chief of the Sachems and spoke to the rest of the council: “Generous is our Creator, who gives us our substance in plenty, Gives us the trout in our lake, and the deer and the fruit of the forest. These we must use with discretion, insuring continual plenty. Thus, we decree in His name that no trout shall be taken while spawning.” All of the warriors assented and shouted their earnest approval, Save Agayeuteh, an insolent brave, who made answer in this wise: “Long and deep is our lake where our fathers have fished oft before us; Still there are plenty of fishes to spawn on the beds in the autumn. Therefore will I disobey your law and your foolish injunction.” Then spoke the aged Sachem, lamenting the warrior's decision: “Fish, but ne’er think the Great Ruler will pardon your reckless transgression.” Moveless, the youth stood a moment, debating the words of the Sachem, Vainly struggling to master the demon of pride and rebellion. Angry he grew, as he saw turned upon him the eyes of his brethren. l’(S Turning, he strode from the council, contemptuous, clown to the water, Seized his canoe and pushed out from the land by quick strokes of his paddle, Then he stood up in his birchen skiff in full view of his tribesmen. Who were beginning to gather above can the wooded embankment. Over the treetops the westering sun rays slanted upon him, Casting a luster around him, ghastly, strange, and portentous. Boldly he threw out his fishline—when instantly crashing from heaven Smiting him down in its pitiless vengeance, a thunderbolt hurled him Headlong into the sullen waters where soon reappearing, Prostrate and lifeless he floated, an object blackened and formless. Reverent, the people gathered around the venerable Sachem. “Witness,” said he, “the vengeance of Heaven upon the offender.” Far to the southward the thunder continued to nimble; its echo Boomed thru the silence, and slowly the corpse moved toward the summons. Thus, Agayeuteh was forced to obey the Great Ruler; forever Doomed to float on the broad expanse of Seneca's bosom. Still, on calm summer evenings, repeating its ancient injunction, Murmuring over the waters, the Seneca Echo comes booming. Art Wii Liams. '11. 129 SOME CLASS Book 1. The Tribe Arriveth at Winter Quarters In the month of bright September, In the year of ’08, my children, To the city of Geneva, To the place called Hobart College, Warlike, came a band of Freshmen; There to seek the white man's wisdom, And the art of playing football. Brave were they, in numbers greater Than the comets Sky’s discovered. Of them there was “Ashes Eschmann, Georgie Straub and Walter Zimmer, The sweet singer, Big Chief Hawley. Hancock came from Allegany; Knapton was from Massachusetts; Hanbidge, Cush, and Austin Bannore All these came among the freshmen, To the place called Hobart College. E’en the wilds of dark Hoboken Sent its warrior, brave and fearless. In the city of Geneva They found many friendly Freshmen, Kendall, Bowen and Mush Reynolds, Foreman, Kane and Dick O’Hora. These are but a few cognomens Of the tribe of valiant Freshmen. Book II. The Tribe Lickkth the Soimis bit a I’i.aoi k Striketh Them Heetiev But a rival tribe called Soph’mores, Thought they owned all Hobart College, Thought they were the high and mighty I3 Owners of all Hobart College. But our fearless tribe of heroes Gave them conflict, stern and awesome, Did the Soph'mores much and plenty, Slew them, scalped them, raised the devil, And thus made them duly humble. Settled then the tribe of Freshmen ()n the Hobart reservation, Working with their cerebellums, Their cerebrums and, I've heard say, Their medulla oblongatas, 'frying to gain the white man's wisdom. All the time they were a’making. Fur fly on the Hobart campus. Half the football team were Freshmen, Many learned the game of baseball, And with 'crosse stick they were hummers. Once the pun}' tribe of Soph'mores Tried to take their banner from them; But of course they were defeated. After this they had a banquet In the jail of Lyon's village. Of fire water they had plenty. Yes, the squaws of old Geneva Called them candy, called them peaches. But a racking devastation. Pale face curse, “Examination” Slew the happy, joyous Freshmen. Hardly half their number left them, When the summer sun shone warmly. Prexie Stewardson, the mighty. Wept to see the Freshmen leaving, Kane had gone and both the Reynolds, Gillette, Welles and Phillip Williams (Gillette went with pale face woman i.H From the Hobart reservation To the village they call Corning Forty ’leven miles from nowhere.) Jocko Hanbidge, Walter Zimmer, Many thousand other Freshmen Felt the racking devastation. Many brave things did the remnant On the Hoi art reservation. Till the June days were upon them Then they scattered, each one hcnceward, To corral stacks of Mazuma To spend next year in Hobart College. Still we old men tell you children Of the doings of the Freshmen, Who did come that year to Hobart, Who did come to fair Geneva. Book III. The Tribe Cometh Back and Raiseth the Devii. Early in that next September, Prexie Stewardson, the mighty, Blew his clarion and our heroes Hurried back to Hobart College. Here they found the tribe of Soph'mores No more hurried nor molested; So the erstwhile tribe of Freshmen Took themselves the name of Soph’mores, And their lands, and their traditions. But few were they as to the Freshmen Who had come that first September. Jackson came not nor did Lambert Who had said within the council Of the high and mighty Seniors, “I. myself, have been a chieftain On a big New York newspaper”— 132 Tyler came not nor did Hawley; In the wilds of cold Alaska Lingered Blair, the dashing shortstop. Let ns skip those days of sadness, In the early cheerless autumn; For another tribe of Freshmen, Who had come to Hobart College, Did our heroes something awful. These were but an imitation Of the real, true, yard-wide Freshmen, And when came the banner conflict The new comers lost their totem Then the tribe of naughty twelvers Celebrated with a banquet In the town of Canandaigua. Thrived right well the tribe of Soph’morcs, Won the H in football, baseball. Won the A’s in French and English And then chortled with their H A’s At the awestruck, pea-green Freshmen. Soon again the tribe did scatter Each one to his own home village, Languishing thraout the summer, Till they came back unto Hobart. Book IV. Tint Trice are Exalted and Live on the Fat ok the Land When again the conquering Soph’mores Had assembled in Geneva Prexie Stewardson, the mighty, And the west wind, Durfymatha. And the very wise man, Bacon, Had decided that the Soph’mores To be Juniors now were worthy. 133 (Junior is a rare old title Only given to the bravest) So this year was one of feasting Joys and vict'ries had they many, For no man could stop the progress Of those worthy to be Juniors. Now the worthy tribe decided That they would just down their doings In a book, on white man’s paper. Said they would bring forth an Echo Of the doings of the Juniors. By their lives they were examples For the Soph'mores and the Freshmen. Faculty, the ruling Spirit, Smiled benignly on the Juniors. But of all the tribe of valiants, Who had come that first September, There remained but just a handful. Far beyond the big sea water Is Rex Moore, the brilliant writer. Foreman, Rupert, and Van Tassel Now are seeking pale-face learning On a distant reservation. But those left are brave and steadfast. They will 1 ring great scalps to Hobart, They will make her great and mighty, Next year they will be the Seniors, The old men, wise and learned, Thence they'll go to life's great battle. Soon they’ll send their own good children To be Freshmen in old Hobart, And they’ll always love the college, Love her when they are Alumni, For ne’er again will be such greatness As the tribe of ’12, in Hobart. '34 SUMMER BASEBALL At the meeting of the N. Y. S. I. A. U. held in Utica, )ct. i, 1910, Hobart College’s representatives stated that in the future she would allow men to represent her in athletics, who had received money for their services on various summer baseball teams, provided such teams were not controlled by the National Commission. At a later meeting of the league held March 4, 1911, the constitution of the association was so amended that men of this class were not considered professionals and so could represent their various colleges. Colgate and Rochester had previously taken the same stand as Hobart and so the amendment had the support of the majority. This rule has received considerable criticism and so the Hobart Athletic Association wishes to give its reasons for this act. They tire: First: The elimination of the special student and the increasing entrance requirements have made it impossible for a student not fully prepared to enter Hobart. Thus, we cannot matriculate men merely for their athletic ability. Second: The eligibility of the men representing the college in athletics is determined primarily by their class standing. No man, who is not carrying twelve hours of work per week and getting good marks in all this work, is eligible to any athletic team. So an athlete here musl keep up his college work. Third: Hobart does not believe that money earned playing summer baseball is less honorable than that earned at any other of the various occupations college men follow during the summer. Neither does Hobart believe that if a poor student is going thru col- lege on the money earned by summer baseball, he should be dis- criminated against by being kept off the athletic teams and 135 Fourth: Hobart believes that this stand she has taken will pro- mote greater respect for the present eligibility rules, as a great tempta- tion for dishonesty will be removed. Furthermore, the attitude of the college toward athletic management will be more definite and pronounced when this temptation is removed. The fact that a college player is skillful enough to be sought by the various hotel, club, and town baseball team should not be regarded as something radically wrong. It is not a condition to he deplored hut rather to be encouraged for not only is the player in question enabled to spend a pleasant and profitable vacation, but he also can give his college team the next spring the added skill and judgment gained from playing with more experienced men. In this way he increases the efficiency of his own team and raises the quality of the sport generally. Some years ago when College entrance and scholarship require- ments were less rigid than at present, certain means had to be devised to keep athletics clean and honest. Now when conditions have changed, the necessity for such rulings have disappeared and a revision of eligibility rules seemed necessary and desirable. W. C. 13b Reminiscences of Freshman Days in the Year 1885 To one who. after an absence of twenty years, undertakes a sentimental pilgrimage to Geneva for the purpose of revisiting the classic precincts of his alum main-, the improvements wrought during the past two decades, both in town and college, are most amazing. Indeed, upon the very outset of the journey, the pilgrim is impressed by the vast improvement in traveling conditions, over those which obtained a quarter of a century ago. For, in those days, there was no direct service to Geneva, either by the Central or by the Lehigh. Travelers over the former route were obliged to change cars, either at Syracuse or Rochester, to the Auburn branch: while those over the Lehigh were obliged to make a similar change at Sayre, to the Geneva. Ithaca and Sayre branch. The present, magnificent extension of the Lehigh had not even been contemplated; and both branch roads made joint use of a miserable, little shack of a depot, on the site of the Central’s present, sumptuous station. Through sleep- ing cars, parlor cars and dining cars were unknown luxuries: and the rolling stock was in the last stage of decrepitude and audibly yearned for the speedy attainment of that ferruginous Nirvana, the scrap-pile. Geneva was then a village with but half of its present population: its inhabited limits did not extend east of the Central depot nor west of Pultcney Street, while its northern and southern boundaries were coterminous with Main Street. Its business section consisted of but two short blocks, one on Seneca Street and the other on Exchange Street. There were no restaurants in the village, not even the ubiquitous lunch-wagon: and whoever missed the meal hour, at his boarding house, had to go hungry till the next. The thrifty village fathers made no provision for illuminating the streets on calendar, moon-light nights; consequently, when the moon happened to be obscured, the belated way-fairer had to plod along in Cimmerian darkness, to the barking of his shins, the irritation of his temper and the abnormal development of his powers of objurgation. For there were no street cars: and the only methods of locomotion about the village, in addition to shank's mare, were the hotel busses, which plied at uncertain intervals, and a few ancient sea-going hacks, whose charioteers outpirated the boldest freebooter that ever sailed the Spanish Main. Finally, there was no mail delivery, and every student had to call for his letters, in person. This, however, had its advantages as well as its disadvantages, since it made the post-office a daily rendezvous for the young people of the village, where they could arrange their social engagements with ease and expedition. 137 Hobart’s main plant consisted of five buildings, all in a row, facing on Main Street. These were the Chapel, Geneva Hall, Middle Building, being the original college building and commonly known as Old Middle. Trinity Hall and Alumni Hall, the latter commonly known as Dromedary Hall. In addition, the chaplain’s house adjoined the chapel, the senior professor's house adjoined Alumni Hall, and the president’s house stood in its present location. There were also two small buildings across the campus, one at either end. The southerly of these buildings being the observatory, but rarely used; and the northerly building furnishing a residence for Donald I’rquhart, the college janitor, from which, on many a clear night and mellowed by the distance, might be heard the skirling of “Jan's” bag-pipes, when that herculean highlander, previously mellowed by copious draughts of his beloved usquebaugh, felt the spirit move him to bring forth his pipes and fill the air with the martial strains of his native pibrochs. Last, but not least, was the old boat-house, housing a few useless shells and one serviceable four oared gig. in which latter craft many a joyous crew, in the long, spring afternoons, was won't to take a goodly spin down the lake, returning home in the late twilight, after having beguiled some kindly farmer's wife into furnish- ing them with a savory supper from her bountiful larder. The chapel stands today as it stood a quarter of a century ago, save that time has further softened its tints and the ivy now enfolds it in a still more clinging embrace. Geneva Hall was occupied as one of the two college dormitories, save for a little cubby-hole reserved for the use of the senior professor and his scanty stock of scientific equipment. The building was heated bv steam and illuminated by gas. both of which were inexorably turned off at ten o'clock every night. Thereafter, if any student desired to study or otherwise employ himself, he had to resort to over- coat and lamp. There were no bath-rooms in the building, and no running water in the rooms. Ablutions were, necessarily, performed under difficulties; and some of the students were not conspicuous for that cleanliness which ranks so high among the cardinal virtues. ( ld Middle stood between Geneva and Trinity Halls and was in such wretched condition that the trustees were unable to decide whether to repair it or to demolish it. Its basement and first floor housed the library, above were the English and metaphysical rooms, while the top floor was occupied as a billiard-room and tobacco dis- pensary, conducted by a morose individual whose very name has faded from memory. The building was surmounted by a cupola which contained the college bell, whose ostensible function was to 138 serve as a tocsin in case of fire, in those telephoneless days, but whose real function was to furnish an objective goal for student pranks. The building was heated entirely by stoves and, one bitter night that winter, the stove on the Lop floor undertook to resolve the trustees' dilemma by toppling over and setting the building on fire. ()wing to the slippery condition of the streets and also to the total absence of any semblance of haste on the part of the volunteer firemen, who had been too often uselessly routed out of their comfortable beds by the ringing of )ld Middle’s bell re-in forced by a brilliant display of red-lire set oft by mischievous students, the building was beyond redemption by the time that assistance arrived. The students, however, under the aide leadership of the faculty, succeeded in removing most of the really valuable books in the library, before the building had to be vacated because of the imminent danger of its collapse. This fire proved a veritable blessing in disguise, for generous friends hastened to the assistance of the’ college and. by their liberal donations, made it possible to erect the north half of the present, splendid library building, the following year; while the money received from the insurance companies likewise made it possible to procure many needed books, not previously available. Trinity Hall was the other college dormitory and was similar, in all respects to Geneva Hall. Dromedary Hall, the last of the row, served as the college build- ing proper. In the basement, there was a small and fairly well equipped laboratory for instruction in elementary chemistry: the next two floors were devoted to class rooms and, on the top floor, there was stored the nucleus of what was hoped would, some day, constitute the college museum. The faculty numbered but nine, all told. 'The Rev. Eliphalet N. Potter, since deceased, was president and taught ethics and political economy; Hamilton L. Smith, since deceased, was senior professor and taught astronomy and natural philosophy; Joseph 11. Mel kmiels, then as now, was professor of Greek; Francis P. Nash, now emeritus, was professor of Latin; Charles D. Vail, now emeritus, was professor of English and also registrar and librarian; Charles J. Rose, since resigned, was professor of history and modern languages; William P. Durfee, then as now, was professor of mathematics; Edwin K. Buttles, since resigned, was professor of chemistry and secretary of the faculty; and the Rev. William M. Hughes, since resigned, was chap- lain and taught logic and mental philosophy. There was no dean and none of the professors had assistants. No subjects were taught, except those above mentioned; and the i ,19 college conferred but two degrees upon undergraduates, viz: B.A. and B.S. The R.A. course took four years, lmt the B.S. course took but three; consequently, students taking the scientific course skipped the sophomore class and jumped from the freshman to the junior class, with the result that the sophomore class was always the smallest in college and, in its dealings with the freshman class, had to make up by strategy for its deficiency in numbers. The student body averaged about ninety members. There was no college spirit at all, and but little class spirit; on the other hand, there was intense and even bitter fraternity spirit. Four fraternities were represented in the college, viz.: Sigma Phi. Kappa Alpha, Theta Delta Chi and Phi Kappa Psi. commonly known as Sigs, Kaps. Thetes and Phiks. Of these, the Sigs and Kaps were of ancient foundation, the Thetes were not established until much later, while the Phiks were new comers. Kach fraternity averaged about eighteen members, leaving a similar number of non-fraternity members, known as “neutrals.” The social life of the village centered around the college, and those who did not move in college circles were considered without the pale of society. The society people were divided into two factions, according to whether they favored the Sigs or the Kaps. The Thetes had a very scanty social following, and the Phiks, of course, had none. The social situation was still further complicated by the fact that a number of the influential people of the village favored Alpha Delta Phi, which had become extinct a few years previously and which they still entertained hopes of reviving. Relentless and unceasing was the warfare waged between the Sigs and the Kaps and their respective adherents, both in college and out of college. In college, each of the leading fraternities had to combine with one of the weaker ones and, likewise, to enlist the support of a majority of the neutrals, in order to control college politics. Conse- quently, cliques were constantly formed and dissolved, as the weaker fraternities took advantage of the1 necessities of the stronger fraterni- ties, to advance their own interests, ()ut of college, there was a similar constant shifting of cliques, as the Alpha Dell adherents cast their influence first on one side, then on the other, in order to prevent either of the two leading fraternities from becoming too powerful, to the consequent, disadvantage of the chapter which they hoped to re- establish, some day. None of the fraternities had a chapter house but each had a suite of rooms in the business section of the village, whither its members repaired, with much ostentatious secrecy to hold their weekly meet- 140 ings. At all other times, these rooms were unoccupied; for every fraternity had a room in one of the dormitories, which it used as its college headquarters and where its members were wont to gather in their leisure hours. The members of each fraternity tools their meals at a separate boarding house, near the center of the village, with the result that, six times a day, there was a procession of students either up or down Main street; while, on stormy, wintry days, many a student went breakfastless or supperless, rather than face the inclement weather. In such cases, the student did not usually have to go absolutely without food, but could always fall back upon apples, of which the students always had a bountiful store. For in those days, this fruit could be bought from passing farmers’ wagons, in great variety and of most excellent quality, for the modest sum of twenty-five cents a peck. ()ther things were correspondingly cheap. Thus, the majority of the students paid but three dollars a week for their board, and excellent board at that; while the highest price charged anywhere was but four dollars a week, this being the price charged by the Kirkwood, then the leading hotel of the village. The students had several peculiar customs which have since disappeared, owing to altered conditions. Thus, whenever a freshman passed beneath a dormitory window, it was lawful for a member of any other class to empty the contents of his water-pitcher on the luckless wight's head, without that drenched individual’s having any right to complain of the treatment. Natur- ally. after one or two deluges of this kind, the freshman scrupulously kept to the walks when passing the dormitories. The sophomores sold chapel seats to the freshmen for whatever sums they could cajole them into paying. In return for their money, the freshmen received neatly printed tickets, directing them to apply to the secretary of the faculty for the location of their seats, much to that functionary’s disgust and to the amusement of the upper class- men. Under no circumstances, was a freshman who had been so hoaxed entitled to have the sophomore disgorge his ill-gotten gains. Whenever any matter of passing interest occurred on Main Street, it was incumbent upon the student first noticing it to throw up his window and yell “heads out,” at the top of his lungs; thereupon, every other student was expected to drop whatever he might bo doing and, forthwith, to join in the clamor, very frequently without the remotest idea of what the racket was all about. The menagerie, by which designation the young ladies from Miss Bridge's seminary, then located opposite the chaplain's house, were generally known, because of their Noah’s arklike habit of walking two by two, were s invariably 141 greeted with this yell, that it was seldom that their teachers ventured to take them past the college, on their daily constitutionals. Whenever a mouse was caught in a dormitory, and these small deer were something of a pest, it was considered the proper etiquette to string the carcass up by the tail to the nearest gas fixture in the hall, much to “Jan’s rage at this disfigurement of a portion of his realm. There were several methods of taming bumptious freshmen. The mildest of these was to smoke him out. This was accomplished by invading his room, closing all vents, and then emitting vast clouds of tobacco smoke, until the victim began to turn pale from the effects. If this treatment failed in accomplishing the desired result, his room was invaded on a subsequent occasion and its contents were quickly and neatly stacked in pyramidal form, in the middle of the floor; the lighter articles and bric-a-brac constituting the base and the weightier articles, culminating with the trunk or table, forming the apex. Under expert guidance, a room could be so thoroughly and completely stacked in ten minutes, that it would take the occupant several hours before lie could even get his bed in shape to sleep in. For, while great care was taken not to break any article in building the stack, even greater care had to be exercised in taking it apart; and, while many hands were engaged in the building, as stacking was only done when it was known that the victim would be out till late in the even- ing, the unstacking had to fie performed alone and in the dark. Finally, if neither of these experiences had a sufficiently chastening influence upon the rebellious freshman, he was forcibly captured and transported, by bus or boat, to a point distant several miles from the village, and then left there to walk back home in the dark, as best, he might. Sometimes the victim got back the same night; more often not, as he usually had to wait till daylight to find his way home. This method was only resorted to in extreme cases, but it was an infallible cure. In the rushing season, it was customary for emissaries from the various fraternities to board all incoming trains, a station or so out, and question every likely looking youth as to his destination. If he proved to be a prospective student, he was taken in charge, herded into a bus as soon as the train reached Geneva, taken to the fraternity boarding-house, and kept sedulously segregated from the members of tin1 other fraternities, until he blossomed out with the colors of a pledged man. Finally, if for any reason a professor were more than five minutes late in reaching his class-room, the class was entitled to cut the recita- tion, in a body. Consequently, many were the devices for waylaying 14- professors and ostensibly engaging them in serious discourse, until the prescribed time limit hail elapsed. Seldom, however, were such devices successful; for the faculty, being equally cognizant of the custom, were always on their guard against such snares. In conclusion, while Hobart is to be congratulated upon her present, splendid plant and equipment. t sav nothing of the added creature comforts now procurable in Geneva, this review would be incomplete were no mention made of the true and genuine college spirit which now animates her student body, something so absolute!'.- lacking a quarter of a century ago. That the lack of this spirit must be ascribed to the bitter, fraternity rivalry of those days is incontesta- ble, since, as the one has waxed, the other has waned. Still, Hobart was not peculiar in this respect; she but reflected the general condi- tions then existing throughout the college world. For it was not until the alumni of the large, national fraternities commenced to take an active part in the administration of fraternity affairs, that the impropriety and folly of the old order of things came to be recognized and vigorous measures were initiated to elevate the fraternity to its proper sphere and make it a help, rather than a hindrance, to the col- lege, by fostering a strong, college spirit, in every walk of student life. Unfortunately, as the leading fraternities at Hobart were small and sectional, it took this new idea of fraternity life somewhat longer to spread to her and to permeate her student body with its invigorating leaven, than at many other colleges; and long after the pernicious principle that the fraternity is everything and the college nothing had ceased to be recognized at other colleges, it still pre- vailed at Hobart. This is the real reason why the alumni of those days usually take but little interest in the college and why it is so difficult to arouse their enthusiasm in anything pertaining to their alma mater. However, the great thing, after all, is that the new and better principle of fraternity life eventually did reach Hobart and has secured a solid foothold there, and that Hobart college spirit is no longer an empty word, but a living and pulsating force. Long may it remain so and long may the animating principle if her students, under- graduates and alumni alike, be, both in thought and action, vivat, Jloreat, crescat Hobart! Henry Pkokam, ’89, Who’s Who and Why Barmore They say DeVeaux became deficient in humor when “Barry'” left. His first recorded remark in Hobart was when interviewed relative to the tariff on salt and he came across with: “You can LEAD a horse to water,but it takes Bull Durham tobacco to (back er). Besides punning Barry finds most pleasure in training no one ever caught him smoking between the halves. He appreciates beauty in the weaker sex, but although the popular kid downtown, they warn the freshettes up at Wm. Smith against him. His favorite game is moving pictures. He is such a kidder that the doctor has warned him against the “con.” Bowen Grouch has metamorphasized. When first we knew him he was a week old baby, now he is a week old man. And like the wines he uses most, he improves with age. No more does he bum the mak- ings, it was too much work so he cut out smoking. Grouch is especially' interested in psychology and has read the chapter on the Me many, many times. Grouch exercises by wearing red neckties which really go well with his complexion. The Grouch (notice the everlasting smile; has not looked happy this year, “because,” he says, “ Tdoss’ Foreman is in Michigan” but the Echo asserts that her name isn’t “Hoss.” In passing, once upon a time. Grouch was seen going to church. Church Our Beau Brummell. About the niftiest kid that ever rang the bell down at “Bill’s.” Best dancer in college but prefers the Carrol- ton grill to the ball room any time. He claims to be immune from the wiles of woman, but he deceives no one, not even Wheat or him- self. “Squce” has a wonderful voice and belongs to the far famed “Home Brew Quartette.” He is an amateur “airy nut” (lying all over the flying rings in a pleasing style. If he were not so set upon a Phi Beta Kappa key, he might really’ become a clever gymnast. His favorite exercises just now are bridge and lacrosse but he intends to become a matinee idol when he leaves college. 44 Evans A protege of the famous Duke D’Abruzzi. He is all to the candy, believe me. ()f all the corkerinc princes, dukes mixtures, marquises, etc., that ever brushed into these environs, “Gorky” is the best. He owns a moustache (we use the term out of respect to Gorky) that starts where the others leave olT. Many have tried but none could equal this cluster- its dapperness and snappy exit away style have won for it the well deserved title “The Gorky.” Otherwise“Gorky is a good scout. His pater familias makes a pleasant ale and Gorky” was wont to increase the business of Evans Sr. Now, however, he has forsook the ways of Bacchus for golf. Golf is a jolly game. Harold is not the finished financer yet as last year's unpaid Calculus tax plainly shows, but still he has a bright future before him as he intends to become a missionary to Vassar and Wellesley. Hancock They say they grow three crops of alfalfa a year out in Allegany County and according to the present exhibit it is true. George otherwise known as O'Toole, Handy, Putt. Dearie, etc., is the son of a criminal catcher, but he discourages heredity by being unable to nab the fellow who painted his chafing dish handle green. “Dearie” had two hard seasons at Wm. Smith so this year he brought a girl from home with him and the scheme works very well. Putt” is some boxer being the hero of the battle of Trinity Church, doing deeds that night that Quinn will ne'er tire singing of. O’Toole, precocious youth, made the backsliders club in his Sophomore year, and this year was elected as an honorary member of the Rep Ro Betas. “Handy is a great runner, especially in the long distances but expects to become a fanner and grow alfalfa. Hawley What is mi re rare than a come 1 tack” in Hi 1 art! This one sure is a perfect man. Owing to a slight misunderstanding with the faculty as to what Constituted a C, Chet remained from us all his Sophomore year. This January, however, he put one over on Wis- dom and again frequents our halls of knowledge. Ring out glad bells! But there’s a joker in all this for Prcxic says Chet is a frosh. ()f course we all have to be freshmen sometime, but we never brag of that “some time. Just the same, Chet, we envy you your three more years in Hobart. Just at present Chet is trying to determine what class he really belongs to—lie’s some class anyhow but later in life he intends to become a bartender or philanthropist they’re both the same according to Bill. MA Kendall The only one of 1912 that makes money out of that which cheers and oft inebriates. As Ezra often says, “Lips that clinch with ginger ale shall ne-vair clinch with mine.” Ezra is a great lover of the out of doors having a paid up membership in the “Rod and Gun” club which makes him about the only man in 1912. Ezra is one of the “1). T’s” (daily themers), but his themes arc so good that Muiry always sus- pects copying. At present Ezra is engaged in hoisting Pilseners, but later in life expects to become a reformer a la Jopham P. Allcls. He may never become a statesman, however, for his own private strong drink is Moxie. Moxie is good for the nerves, may be in time he’ll have nerve enough to drink a real drink. Kx ALTON Turkey brings up the average of the class in scholarship like McCain brings up the average weight of the line. “Turkey” has a cute little trick of winning prizes, but he will be longest remembered for that High School yell of his, Hi di ri ti cli ry etc. That yell wandered all over the audible scale f sounds. He has instituted him- self as chief interpreter of “Hank” Post and interprets him muchey to his admiring college mates. Turkey's worst fall from grace was the night the alumni punch was swiped but we will omit details in con- sideration of the feelings of Lawrence, Mass. When Knapton left Lawrence they thought he would be president, but alas and alack (mostly a lass) Knapton is not the angel child they sent. After Knapton wins his key he is going to write anecdotes ( f famous naughty twelve men for a living. Lawrence “Prexie” came from Kenyon and so did Lawrence. The latter, however, came faster than the former. Having once acclimated him- self to thcelTette East, the “Judge began exploringGcnevauntil today he is very well posted, indeed, on the world below Masons ik Dixon's line (Castle Street). Beyond his fussing proclivities the Judge is a rather good sort, always says “The same” and never short skates. He became a member of tin- ill-fated Democratic club and so enjoyed a hearty “Ha Ha on Nov. 9th. Being new to Hobart some of the “Judge's” attributes may not be out of place. He is in appearance stylish and morose, his occupation is Economics, his favorite drink H, SO,, and he intends to follow Jack Howarth’s footsteps and become a Brewery examiner. l.|0 O'Hora Look upon this noble brow and firm matinee idol jaw and cease to wonder how “Dick really made the I Jerald pay last year. He is ioie's future malefactor of great wealth, which fact was discovered when he had his term bill put off last spring and placed the money in the savings bank to draw interest. Dick has threatened to quit Hobart several times, and go to Gcneseo, but we've got the college running properly before lie’s executed his threat. One of Dick's greatest ventures was being a laundry kid last year. He is now taking Calculus trying to figure out how to collect what’s due him. Post Here. Ladies and Gentlemen, is a very rare species of the Genus homo found only in Hoboken, N. J. He came to Hobart because it was on the main line of the Lehigh Valley R. R. He quickly became very popular with the upperclassmen and nary night passed in his freshman year but they and Henri would be together organizing temperance and missionary societies. Henri has one failing—the girls. They call him Harry and fall for his strong and brave look when he wears that moustache of his’n. We are afeared, however, that Hank’s life is one sweet, sad, contradiction. He is majoring in fencing and intends to go back to Hoboken and run a fence.” Henri has recently been promoted to the faculty, taking Prof. Mc- Daniel's place, I believe. If time hangs heavy, Hank, just go down and convert Quinn again. They say he needs it. Quinn Words fail us! But step right up and see the big noise from Sherburne, the home of the champeen Holstein Cow. Bill is now starring in a little play entitled The Ec ho. Up at Wm. Smith they think lie’s crazy and I guess they're right. If he isn’t lie's a good actor. After he finishes his arduous duties on the Echo, Bill is either going to run the society department of the New York Journal, or try and become ambassador to Ireland. ()ne of the distinctive sights of our college is Quinn, McMartin and Collette singing the British National hymns. Bill is the only fellow in Hobart who really enjoys the Tip 'l op weekly. And between reading this and the sporting page of the Sherburne News and unsuccessful attempts to fuss, Bill’s time is pretty well taken up. Next: 147 Sparks What a wealth of material. Confidently we could (ill this book with Sparks except that Sparks are dangerous around books. Billum spent his boyhood in Maine, but is trying hard to live down the past. We do not hold him personally responsible for it. Bill looks like a “pitcher” both in a dress suit and in a ball suit. They said they named William Smith after Bill. He is a sport following the ponies very closely—in German. We would miss Bill's speeches at the smokers more than the cigars themselves. Wherefore jot down, little daughter, that he is some Chauncev M. Depew. At present he is a politician, advocating reciprocity between Hobart and the New York Giants. We are not certain about his future, but hear he is after Mrs. Hussey's job. Ward Behold the father of his class! This strange specimen was cap- tured in the wilds of his native Auburn. He poses as a reformed sinner and he sure had a great chance to reform all right. He spends his time traveling tn Waterloo, of which place he is bishop, and writing letters. He receives twenty letters per day. “Hop” is another of the Junior fussers but his success varies inversely with his fame. They say he was once threatened with nervous prostration from overstudy but that was in the dim and distant past. When he graduates he is going right back to Auburn and convert the heathen. What a glorious opportunity! We must always stroke Hop’s fur the right way, for his is easily riled, but then he has an excuse for didn’t he room part of one year with Doolittle? Warner “Buss” is the pride of Phelps. He spends his time here sleeping and living on his big brother's reputation. His own is too poor like Gorky” Evan’s Norwegian Fish Hound. Now then, “Buss” can’t help it if girls go crazy over his Auburn (?) locks. His knowledge of the “birds of Phelps and Geneva is only equalled by that of Prof. Eaton. But Buss isn't exactly a nature lover like the Professor. Once in his freshman year Buss” didn't go up to Phelps for two weeks, but it never happened again. Bus also shines as a conversa- tionalist—is in a class by himself in this line. When “Buss” once wakes up and leaves “skirts” alone, he may become a great man; in fact, even now he is trying to get a job as football coach up at Wm. Smith. If “Buss” wasn’t so blamed big we’d say some really mean things about him. 148 W HEAT “Duke” was bom young and has never quite recovered. Little is known, however, about this wary creature. He came into our midst three years ago and has tried to imitate Prof. Barney’s flow of speech ever since. He must have read those mottoes, “To hould your job, hould ver gob, etc. Tbit Duke is chiefly known for his slashing on the lacrosse field which same slashing is muchly plaised by coaches of aforementioned game. He may also be regarded as the saviour of his class his ejaculation, “Estimate the costs” saving us from a terrible Waterloo-bartcnder. He is at present engaged in taking notes—he took two dandies last term, but intends to become a psychologist in the future. f49 Who Ain’t and Because Blair Hank said the rooting wasn't good here so he went out West to raise hogs. That preoccupied moment when he bought that ranch was indeed fatal to Van Etten's traneient. glory in Hobart. The nine’s loss was the West’s gain. BrOIIHEAD Jack's cup of glory was filled to overflowing when he pulled down the freshman banner last year. Jack couldn't stand prosperity so he quit. Jack has become a wanderer on earth’s great expanse and threatens to re-enter sometime. Christopher Christy” came from Waterloo and went to Valparaiso as that was the only place he would feel at home in. We miss those tales of the bunch down at the Greeks a lot. Scott. The club room longs for thy presence. Clayton The man of silence. He never even called an umpire a robber. However, Clayt” would always say the same” and was a pretty good sort generally. Don’t suppose Clayt will enter up again but if he does the girls will be waiting for him with the welcome” sign. Cl'SHINC. Cush came from Elmira although they deny it down there. There really was no reason for Cush to quit for he was making good money here- -ask Herendeen. However, he tired of the quiet, secluded life in our halls of learning. They say lie’s in the telephone business in Syracuse. Hello! Dennison Denny” was that fat chap that used to come to college every once in a while. When he’d become acquainted with all the professors he decided he’d better quit. He is going to Case now, so naturally he's a Case and judging from past experiences a hard one. i5 - Er.i.rs Chick was unfortunate. He prepared in Colgate Academy but really wasn’t the president of the place. He took -and dropped— every course we had in Hobart in two years so there was nothing for him to do but quit. He is in the South now for his health, perhaps. Evenson Like as a swallow comes into the bright room from the night and then flys out came Pop to us. The grand old man rtf the mountains delayed here but one year, then the call of Back to the Minnesota woods was harkened to and Pop was no more. Pop was a baseball catcher, but couldn't make the Learn on account of alleged profes- sionalism. Eschmann We point with pride to Ashes. He quit because it was the fashion. What an athlete he was once. It seemed when Ashes didn’t come back as if the world had lost its charm. Ashes is now advertising Hampton’s magazine, and if you think of him when you read Hampton's you’ll enjoy it more. Foreman Old Hoss” got so big he couldn’t turn around in Hobart so he had to leave for wild and woolly Ann Arbor. He disregarded our feelings and Grouch” Bowen’s in the matter entirely. However, we all remember the time Hoss” was eternally disgraced. How that room looked! Gardiner Dick” left in a hurry. We were just beginning to get ac- quainted after that Kid” Gardner pugilistic business. Well Dick, if we’re ever on our way to Reno we'll say Hello.” Hanbidgk Ogdensburg’s pride and Hobart’s joy. Naughty ( very) twelves first toastmaster. Little did we think that you, Jocko, would be one of the good men Hobart turned out.” Jocko had the time and the place here in Geneva but the girl still lingered in Ogdensburg so he was lost to us. Jackson Did you ever hear this one?” The raconteur of the class. Oliver Phelps wanted to come back all right, but unfortunate though beautiful, entanglements prevented him. )f course he could have been married but then she got another man anyway. Kane Yes, little one, Bill is a naughty twelver. He walked right up and entered up and walked right home again. In other words Bill stayed just one day. He saw a chance to become a defaulting teller in a bank and. like Steve Brodic, took the chance. Bill does valuable service for the class as a boy scout. Lamhert An embroyo William Randolph Hearst. This young man, as he told us, came to Hobart to secure a number of human interest stones for his interests. He failed to find them so went to the Jew Nited States of America, in other words, Columbia. McConnell It was no use trying to keep Pete with those pink cheeks. He succumbed to the wiles of Cupid and Win. Smith, and thus cemented the friendship of the two schools. Pete is now the picture of domestic happiness; is even happier than he was when elected president of our noble class. Moore Moore shared with Tommy Collette the honor of representing bonnie England at Hobart. They are both poets, but in all fairness similarity ends here. Wine, woman and song, thus Choekers” fell. This was a bad year. Jeffries couldn't come back and Choekers” didn’t. We felt sorry about them both. Reynolds, C. W. Chet the boy who got so fat that he couldn't carry all the junk around with him. He quit right after the first banner scrap because he thought his work was done. We see him once in a while now when he is prosperous and sometimes he deigns to speak to us. Chet was nearly a hero in that coasting accident a couple of years ago. Say, wasn’t that some story for the Press club? Reynolds, II. C. Otherwise known as “Dick. He was the friend of Hancock, and, oh. if Dick could only have stuck and become a Backslider! Dick went to Rochester and is now a druggist, running the soda water counter. Rupert The boy with the makings. P «1 was also (me if that Sophormire basketball team that swept everything before them. The greatest advocate, except Van Tassell perhaps of aqua pura in college. He is training the big Hoss” now in Michigan. Poor Michigan! Straub Old Yet Rich Mick Wallingford was the protege of Georgie Straub. Why we owe Charley Benedict something vet. Palm Beach held the ace over Hobart when Georgie was the stakes and so won him. Since he left Snyder and Cushing wear their own collars. Tyler He also owned a red sweater but it was not as distinctive as Pop Evenson’s. He came from Chicago and like the well known ball team of that place couldn’t come back -not even after the first Christmas vacation. He was ever a prime advocate of the reunion of the class in J une, i y 12. A good idea. Van Tassell Our boy orator. We will never forget those speeches against Anna Lvtica and Tom Platt. Van left rather suddenly, saying we didn’t win games often enough and there was no fun without an excuse. However, it’s an ill wind that blows Indiana good. Welles Oh Gil what I know about you! Gil and Jack Donnell both got their eyes on the job of press agent for the college at about the same time. Jack seized the psychological moment and landed the job, but Gil really did the more advertising. As a result the first class baby is a Welles. Gil is now getting bald headed in Corning—a very pretty- little place about thirty miles south of Geneva. 153 Williams This gay young Loch invar came out of the South. Swiftly rode he into the hearts of Geneva maids. Main Street belles and Ex- change street belles, they all fell for that southern drawl. After he had captivated all the pretty girls in the town 4 he went 1 ack to his first love, St. Stevens. Report has it that her other name is Clarissa. Windsor Burtis, thine was a sad ease. ()wing to Windy's meager prepara- tion it took him nearly two years to become wiser than all the faculty.

Inter- collegiate athletics did not begin till the middle of the 19th century, and so we have no records even though there may have been inter- mural activities in athletics in Hobart's early days. The catalogue of 1826 says that “a system of athletic exercises, calculated to preserve the health of the student will be introduced. However, we hear no more of such introduction for several years. In 1846, a graduate writes, there were no athletics or intercollegiate communication. We tried cricket and found it wanting, while baseball was hardly devised in its present form. The big game at Hobart has always been baseball. Other games have vied with it for a time, but the national game has outlived them all. Baseball was first played in Geneva in ’56 or ’57 at the Walnut Hill High School. It began in Hobart in 1859 and the next year an association was formed to run the sport properly. Our first game was played against Waterloo in ’61, and we started well, beating the villagers 812. We lost our next game however, to Phelps. War so depopulated the college that there was scarcely enough students left to form a nine. The association was kept up, however, and nearly every able bodied man in college belonged to it. Each class had a team from which the college team was chosen. The doings of this college team are unrecorded but a legend says that in '84 with Lockwood and Jacobus as battery it won from all comers. In 1873, however, we certainly did have a team. The first great Hobart battery. G. T. Pinch and T. H. Chero, was working that year and won every game, except the one against Hamilton, who defeated us 17-16. The next year we had a champion team, the picture of which still hangs on the club room walls. Finch was captain this year and Hobart won from Cornell twice 43-16 and 22 -16, Syracuse twice, 28-27, and 29 9, and from the Resolutes, Canandaigua, Victor, Phelps, twice and Branchport. We won ten straight games with a total score of 364-102. The next year every team in the country was afraid to play us, according to the Echo, and accordingly interest lagged until 1881. That year Cornell dared twice and Hamilton once but both were overwhelmed. The next few years saw us pre-eminent in this sport. Meanwhile in 1884, the New York State Intercollegiate 16 = League was formed here in Geneva. F. P. Pierson of Hobart was president, and Beni. Franklin of Hobart, secretary. The league was composed of Hobart. Hamilton, Union, Syracuse, Rochester, and Cornell. 'The next year Colgate was admitted and later Columbia was in for a few years. 'Tin race the first year was close, Hobart finishing third, ahead of Cornell and Rochester. Pierson was the pitcher this year and besides pitching good ball batted for about .800. In 1885, Hobart was not in the league baseball race. In 1880, our greatest pitcher, Frank Dwyer appeared. He, alone, was a whole team and pulled the team within, one game of the pennant, Cornell winning out. He also heat Williams and Columbia; this year and the next year pitched Hobart to her first pennant over the other seven teams in the league. Geneva welcomed that team home from their last victory at Syracuse with bands and fireworks. Dwyer was pre(tested the next year and became a professional. After a successful career as a ](layer and manager, he settled down in Geneva where he is now a wealthy real estate and coal dealer. On account of the protesting of Dwyer, Hobart withdrew from the league for a time. In 1890, we again were in the league and with Davis and Hoff as a battery won all but one game. We won the deciding game from Rochester and a big celebration followed. The next year we made a clean sweep of the league games and the pennant became more accus- tomed to Geneva. In 1893, although we won from all the teams, Union had the better record and nosed us out at the end. The next year, too, Union beat us out by one game, however, we won from the1 noted Cuban Giants that year. In 1895, we came into our own again and with Sniffen and Case for a battery won the pennant. The schedule that year called for twenty games and we won half. Trinity, Toronto and the Cincinnati Reds were played among others. The deciding game we won 5-4 from C ilgate tit Hamilton. In 1896, we played me of the hardest schedules ever attempted by any a llcge team. Although not in the league, we played 43 games winning 25; of the 18 defeats 13 were administered by professionals. On the teams were the Carrs, Hart and Lew, who afterwards became professionals. The season was only two and one- half months long and so we played the 43 games in 79 days including Sundays. We defeated the Univ. of Virginia, Trinity, V. M. I., Washington and Lee, Syracuse, Vermont, Wisconsin, Oberlin, Colum- bian, St. Mary’s, U. S. Naval Cadets and many other college and “semi pro teams. In 1897. lacrosse was started and coincidently success in baseball decreased. The league this year declared against professionalism and i6C Rochester had to drop out. ()ur team was weak but we won six out of thirteen games. With Folger and Rogers pitching we managed to finish second in ’98 winning eight out of fourteen games. In three games we lost out in extra innings. Things were no better the next year when we lost nine out of twelve. We were still able, however, to beat Rochester handily. The next two years arc sad to dwell upon although we won about one-third of our games. In 1902, occurred the famous “Southern trip.” A. J. Foley was captain and Marv” Rogers manager. The team struck rainy weather, went broke, and played every team that would guarantee the “eats.” They won the first three but lost the next nine. Even Connie Mack's Athletics “took a fall out of them, 8 3. Organized more sanely the next year we finished second in the league, but took a disastrous New York trip playing three games, the total score of which was 64-1 in favor of the other fellows. In 1904, we won from Cornell and Hamilton but finished badly and the next year could only win three out of twelve. The next two years we saw small schedules but disastrous seasons. The history of the game since that time is fresh in the undergraduate mind. In 1908, we finished second, con- stant wrangling keeping us from a pennant. In 1909, the team was weak but showed flashes of real form. Last year's record is repro- duced elsewhere. In point of antiquity rowing stands next to baseball. The first boat was bought in i860, and two years later the Alpha Delta Phi boat club was started. In 1866, a larger shell was bought and for a few years boating flourished. The different fraternities had crews on the water and by 1873, we had class crews. The next year, the boat house was built by the ladies of Geneva, but the renewed interest soon died out. It was proposed to send a crew to Saratoga to compete in the intercollegiate regatta but nothing came of it. New boats were bought in 1879 and the class and fraternity crews were active for a long time although we never engaged in an intercollegiate race. The last crew was in 1890 and for twenty years the boat house was rarely used. With its burning last spring the final curtain probably rang down on this part of our athletic history. Vying today with baseball in popularity is football. The game was first heard of here in 1878. A Herald of that year ann mneed thal a football had been ordered. However, for overt en years our football existed only on paper. In 1891, S. S. Patten entered Hobart from Exeter and organized a team. We played the Cornell freshmen that year and lost. The next year we won from St. John’s, but Rochester overwhelmed us 40-0. In 1893, we beat Seneca Falls and Auburn 167 Theological Seminary, tied Canandaigua, but lost to St. John’s 16 5. The game was now firmly established and the next year we ambitiously tried a much harder schedule, winning from three including Starkey and the University of Buffalo; tied two, one with Rochester and lost three. Rochester beat us 16-10 and Syracuse 184. In 1895, only Syracuse beat us in the league. We won three and lost two and tied five. Rochester bit the dust, 6 4. In 1896, wc had the best team of our history up till 1910. We won nine and tied three; Buffalo, Elmira, and Colgate were fortunate enough to tie us, but we won from Rochester, Union and many others. Our total score that year was 176-26, The next year we had a good team, including Coleman and the Folger Brothers. We won eight out of fourteen, scoring 169 to our opponents 118. We broke even with Rochester, losing 14-16 and winning 16-6. Again in t908, we broke even with the yellow team but that year we won only four out of ten games. The next year we had a very poor team winning but one game out of six, Rochester winning 39-0. The next year, too, we lost all four games. In 1901, we had a great team including Coleman, Warner, Madigan. Summers, Whitney, Foley and other well remembered Hobart athletes. The team could not “get together” and so lost five while winning three. Again we split with Rochester. In ‘02, wc trimmed Rochester twice but had a poor season otherwise. The next year we had a famous team. Nearly all the football talent in the vicinity entered up to play on “Madigan's team.” As long as they could stick wc won from every team except Cornell, who beat us 12-0. Rochester went down 15-5, but retaliated later in the season. We won five that year and lost three. In 1904, under Gutches the team won three, lost three, and tied one for a total score of 81-83. The next year saw a weak team which, however, won five while losing four. One of the four was to Rochester. In 1906. wc lust the first four games, braced enough to tic Alfred and then beat Rochester 12-0. “Red Dwindle was the captain that year. In 1907, we had a good team winning four out of seven. This year’s heartbreaking 11-6 defeat in Rochester is still remembered. The team of 1908 was the poorest that ever represented the college, notwithstanding its brave fight against Rochester. Last year we had a good team winning the majority of our games and this fall's wonder- ful team will be long remembered. In 1897. Dr. Leighton introduced lacrosse at Hobart, as he had previously at Columbia and Harvard. While we have never been very successful in this sport, it has caused Hobart to become widely 168 known as a “lacrosse college. The game had only been played in this country for about seven years when introduced here. We did not compete with other colleges until 1898 when we won our very first game from Cornell 2 1. Wo lost later to Cornell 1 3 and to Toronto 3-8. The next we won but one game out of six and in 1900, although prepared by a southern trip, the team lost all eight games. By this time 13r. Leighton and Coach Michael son had the team in better shape. These two men have made the game all it is in the northern states and we were very fortunate in having them here in Hobart. Although the ’01 team lost all nine games they prepared a squad that the next year won eight games including those with Lehigh, University of Pennsylvania, C. C. of N. Y., Rochester, Cornell and Columbia. However, they lost seven games this season playing the Crescents for the first time. The next year, 1903, we won from Harvard and from Cornell twice, tied the University of Pennsylvania, and an Indian team and lost six. We had the satisfaction of holding an ()xfnrd-Cambridge team the best they were held in this country. In 1904, we won five, lost seven and tied one. We won from Cornell again this year. In 1905, we had a professional coach named Shaw, but the experi- ment did not work well although we beat Rochester twice, a Buffalo team 6- 2, (the game ended in a fight), and Harvard, Toronto beat us 6 3, and Cornell beat us once and tied us once. The good team of 1906 won seven, lost four and tied one. If in the league this year we would have won the pennant. We were in the league the next year but lost the deciding game to Cornell 1-2. In 1908, we had a wonder- ful team but again finished second this year to Harvard. Most of the team graduated this year so in 1909. we were slow to get started. We finished with a victory over Cornell, however, 6-3. The future of the game here is uncertain. It is hard to find teams in our class and the game certainly hurts baseball. The hold it has on Hobart and Geneva will, however, probably save it for many years to come. The history of basketball in this college is short, '['he first team was formed in 1901 but we find no record until 1904. The team that year played eight games losing all but one. The next team that ever played much was the 07-08 team. They played only teams in Geneva and seemed to have had difficulty in more than holding their own. The next year we branched out a little playing college teams and defeating Union and Alfred. In 09-10, we had a long schedule and with the advantage of the gymnasium, we hoped for better suc- cess. Poor material, however, kept the team back and this year unfortunately when everything pointed to a winning team the game was abolished. 169 Track is another branch of sport that has never appealed strongly to Hobartians. In 1880, began a series of interclass field days that continued semi-annually until 1893. The big point winner of the first meet was F. 'I'. Wood, father of the Woods of present day fame. The meets were held in June and (Ictober of each year at Pre-Emption park. In 1885, we had the state track meet in Geneva and again in 1891. In 1888, we finished second to Syracuse in the state meet but interest faded until a track was built in 1897, when the team made a good showing at Utica. Lacrosse killed track, however, even as it injured baseball and it has been a dead letter here until recently. In 1909, a modern track was built and with the establishment of intcrscholastic field days interest in track is greater now than ever before. Many ther games have claimed our attention here. Indoor base ball was in vogue a few years ago. Intermural tennis has always been popular but on only two or three occasions have we competed in this sport. In 1889, W. G. Lapham won the states championship. In 1907, a team defeated Auburn Theological Seminary and the next year we sent a team to the national college championships. In the eighties roller polo, wheeling and yachting were popular. Hockey has had a brief time of popularity. When we consider our few numbers here at Hobart and the small amount of funds we have to do with, the above record is wonderful. We have no “alumni athletic association to hire athletes to enter Hobart, and we do not want such athletes. Hobart's teams are un- tainted with professionalism and are noted for their clean, gentlemanly players. Altogether no son of Hobart need feel ashamed of the record his Alma Mater has made in clean sport. 170 FACULTY VS. VARSITY For two full days the faculty had been alternately scrapping and practicing behind the closed gates of Boswell Field in preparation for the big Thanksgiving day game with the fast varsity eleven. A motley picture they presented, these bewhiskered warriors clad in various colored jerseys as they scampered over the slippery field or stood debating and gesticulating in scattered groups. Dispute after dispute had arisen as to who should play the various positions, but disagreements were at last threshed out and a line-up agreed to. Durf set his heart upon quarter, but Bacon proved to be the favorite, as the former wished to use calculus formulas in his signal system; and, aside from this, was known to disregard certain elements of training. Prexv being elected captain promptly placed himself at full. Little Mac in honor of his seniority took left half while upon Crab Lansing’s massive shoulders rested the responsibility of right. II At center, Williams was cleverly placed as some ingenious mind discovered that his shock of woo] completely obscured a view of the ball from the opposing team. The other line positions were held down by Chuck Vail and Brownie Boswell, guards; Eaton and Barney, tackles; and Johnny Silver and Muiry, ends. II Thanksgiving day dawned clear and bright and by 2:30, the grandstand and bank were lined with a gaily colored throng, who stamped their feet and cheered lustily with the excitement of the moment. Betting ran high. Crafty Van recklessly staked the library fund on the outcome of the game while Sky Brooks risked full half of his celestial real estate. The excited “studes” covered every bet and yelled frantically for more. Precisely at three, amid a thunder of applause, the faculty emerged pompously from the “gym.” A second later the big orange and purple wearers followed looking grim and determined in their mud covered uniforms. III The time decided upon was two twenty-minute halves. Wood won the toss and chose to receive the kick, Here arose new complica- lions. Who was to boot the oval? Proxy volunteered. The whistle sounded. With a spinning motion the ball soared about fifteen feet and landed in McCain’s arms, but Williams who was about ten yards off side downed him in his tracks. The varsity lined up with a rush and Bayless was sent through left tackle, but tripped over Chuck’s eye- brows and fell for a loss. Wood attempted an end but Brownie Boswell crashed through and smashed the play. The faculty spread out to receive a kick. A fake followed in which Barker made three yards before Johnny brought him down. Wood punted. Bacon saw the pigskin soaring high in the air, grabbed desperately a paper and pencil from some unknown recess in his jersey and tried to figure its average acceleration. With a dull thud the leather oval landed squarely upon his unprotected head, he crumpled up like a leaf and was borne from the field raving about physics equations. Durf went in in Bacon's place. 2000 | 2S B x Y came the rdcr. “Signal!” X—Y f 5000 1 700(1 howled Proxy followed by a groan of astonishment from the profes- sional team. Williams, wild with dismay, hurled the pigskin high into the air. Crab saw it coming and with a string of chemical cuss words hit left tackle for a three yard loss. The poor dean was nearly mobbed but solemnly swore to keep his math, problems out of the contest. Proxy punted and the varsity by a series of trick and criss-cross plays began to work their way down the field. Nothing could stop them. Step by step they advanced amidst the bowlings of applause from the college supporters. “Rip cm up,’ and “Beat the faculty” mingled with the hoarse cries. Van Auken was nearly in tears as he raced up and down the field wringing his hands. The regulars were keyed up to their highest pitch and fighting like fiends. The goal was but ten yards away. Robbins clipped off two by a tackle buck and Barry added five more. ()nly three to go. Sud- denly the whistle sounded. Crafty Van had succeeded in bribing the time keepers and the first half ended o-o. Chuck Vail ordered cock- tails all around and swore that the man who scored should ride in his limozine. During the intermission came the good news that Bacon had recovered but retired t write a few exams in honor of the occa- sion. Second Half The second half started with a rush. Chuck received the kick and by a zigzag run pulled off twenty yards, but was penalized for a 17- high hurdle. Prexy punted. Muirv tore down the field and nailed Barry on the spot (.) Wood drove the oval back to Durf who made a clean catch and fifteen yards. Prexy ripped through guard for five more and little Mac added fifteen, dragging Bayless at least ten. The grandstand collapsed. Cheer after cheer shook the very air. “Van doubled his bets and danced about like a madman. Jan fainted from joy. It certainly looked as though the line would be crossed for the professors were playing desperately. Prexy was tackling low and hard never losing a man or an inch. Durf ran the team like a machine while the ground gaining of Sky Brooks and Crab Lansing was of a sensational order. In fact, every man was putting his whole life into the fights. Within six yards of the goal, however, luck changed. Crab fumbled in a mass play. McCain took Barney’s mud bespattered head for the lost pigskin and made a clever dive. Exit Barney. In the same play Chuck Vail was discovered attempting to stab Cook with his eyebrow and immediately disqualified. Yeames with his customary shouting and noise took Chuck's place and Woodman, Barney's. The next play was a quarter back run by Durf. He succeeded in adding a couple of feet before Barry knocked the pins from under him by a vicious plunge. White and motionless the big fellow lay stretched out on the green grass. A hasty examination revealed the fact that the terrific force of the impact had deprived him of his quid. Revived by a big slice of Nerve Navy he leaped to his feet with a fury of determination. The strain was beginning to tell on the unseasoned players and several subisti tut ions were made. Sammy Moore took Eaton’s place at guard. Turk, Little Mac’s at half, while the positions of the two fast running ends Muirv and Johnny were filled by Beach and Dean. In the next play Sky Brooks took a flying dive through right guard but encountered Warner head on. A gasp of astonished joy escaped him. My stars! Mv stars! he shouted and was dragged from the field begging piteously that a new comet medal be applied for immediately. Boswell retired to study his ravings from a psychological view point. Osborne took Brooks place and Williamson Bossie’s. There was but four minutes to play and something extraordinary had to be resorted to. Ussy insisted that if the ball were projected into the fourth dimension the line could be crossed. ‘‘Now eenv point, lie began, but was drowned by howls of derision. Help came as if from heaven. A strong north wind had sprung up. Lansing by a few muscular movements spread his cars to the limit. The ball was snapped and with the wind at his back he came tacking down the field like- a kite. Three men hit him simultaneously but were dragged along like straws. With head up and half the team on his back he sailed across the line amidst a thunder of applause and fell smilingand triumphant into the arms of his excited supporters. His salary was raised $3000 on the spot and he was unanimously elected captain of next year’s team. Chuck Vail settled well back in his car and bowing right and left drove through the crowd and crowned the conquering hero with a wreath of laurels. Prexy leaped into the machine and announced that a banquet for the visitors had been prepared at the Carrollton Cafe. Durf called all classes off for the next two weeks and with handspring and somer- saults the faculty dispersed to prepare for the festive board. WHAT’S IN A NAME ?
