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

Text from Pages 1 - 191 of the 1917 volume:

To h e Rev. JOHN B R E W STER H U B B S , A.B., B.D., D.D., D.C.L., i B K Chaplain of the College and Instructor in History Is This Book Affectionately Dedicated By The Class of Nineteen Seventeen Dedication AS AN evidence of the high esteem and respect which we, the members of the Class of 1917, hold him, we respectfully dedicate this, the fifty-fifth volume of the Echo of the Seneca, to a loyal friend of Hobart and her students, John Brew- ster Hours, A.B., B.D., D.D., D.C.B., Chaplain of the College and Instructor in History. Doctor Hubbs was graduated from Union in 1877, a member of the Alpha Delta Phi fraternity, and went directly to the General Theological Seminary, from which he got his B.D., in '80. Franklin presented him with the doctor’s degree in ’( 7, and the Chicago Law School with a D.C.L. in the same year. Doctor Hubbs became rector of St. James' Church, Oneonta, N. Y., immediately after leaving the seminary, and remained there one year. From 1881 -82, he was rector of St. Augustine's, Ilion, N. Y. In 1882 he became assistant rector of St. Paul's Church, Albany. In 1884 he was called to St. John’s parish, Johnstown, N. Y., where he remained for six years. He then accepted a call to Grace Church, Grand Rapids, Mich., where he remained until 1897, when he became rector of St. Peter's, Geneva. In [913 he accepted the position of chaplain of Hobart College and instructor in History. He has also been Lecturer on Ethics and Evidences, DeLanccy Divinity School, Geneva, since 1902. He was a dele- gate to the General Convention at St. Paul in 1895 and Cincinnati in 1912. During the years of his ministry in St. Peter’s, he thoroughly endeared himself to the hearts of his parishioners. When he re- signed to take tip his position at Hobart, they presented him with a handsome watch and a beautifully illuminated testimonial of their affection for him. Dr. Hubbs was made a member of Phi Beta Kappa by this college. Foreword Books cannot please however good. Minds are not craving for their food.” AS WE look back and count up the number of Echoes which have been presented before ours, we find that there have been no less than fifty-four, and it almost seems impossible that anything could have been left, out of the “Foreword” of all these Echoes. We have left no stone unturned in our efforts to produce, good reader, the best Echo we could produce, and still have it the best yet produced. This is a matter which you, dear reader, must decide for yourself, and in attaining you deeisions, we trust that you will overlook the defects and temper it with mercy. 191? Educo Beard Edgar F.

With our last year of college life at Hobart drawing to a close, we are inclined to gaze back at the days when we were verdant I’rosh with the years and intricacies of a college career stretching out in the vague distance before us. Now these are seen in retro- spect; they are but a wealth of memories. Wo have no wish to give an epitome of our activities and accomplishments. Let it suffice to say that we have given opr best to Hobart and will continue to do so.

'1'he events of the present year have glided by like a stream whose surface is untroubled by hidden rocks. Yet in this smooth current of events lie the true pleasures of the Junior’s life. Neither the troubles of the underclassmen nor the anxiety of the Seniors bother us. Let the Freshmen and Sophomores enjoy their scraps; but we, Juniors, from a position of superiority, are mere interested spectators of the fray. Our scraps are over and recorded in the class annals where we re-read them with satisfaction. We see the Seniors anxiously preparing themselves for the battle of life, not knowing what fortune has in store for them, but we do not worry: our turn has not yet come, and meanwhile we enjoy ourselves while we may. Nineteen hundred and seventeen, in contrast with many of our preceding classes, has kept its registration near the entering number. Although some who entered with us as Freshmen are gone their places have been Idled by new recruits from various corners of the nation. Success has always been a characteristic of our class. No matter whether in pursuit of athletics, pleasure or knowledge we have always taken the lead. Ye are proud of our Junior Week. All who attended pronounced it the most successful of any. Our 46 THE ECHO OF THE SENECA representatives who worthily uphold the honor of the college and the class are found in baseball, basketball, football and lacrosse. As a class we have certainly freely received and as freely given with the knowledge that our glory only adds to the intensity of that of our Alma Mater.

We did our duty as true Hobart sophomores should and as the class of 191X always intends to do. The worms were subdued and taught their place. May they rest in piece. The annual banner scrap was won by the sophomores in the very first rush. This was the second time in the history of the college that a class had won both of its banner scraps. We mention this fact merely to give us a sample of the pep and ability displayed by the sophs in every line of college work. The class of ’ 1S has more men engaged in Hobart activities, than any of the other classes. In baseball and football our men are giving of their best efforts; in lacrosse and basketball, we have men who are worthy to uphold the name of their Alma Mater in the coming years. The Paint and Powder Club includes seven sophomores. The Herald will be managed next year by members of iyis and the Press Club, the Forum and the Chapel Choir are proud to include many worthy sophomores on their rolls. We are justly proud that our members have kept their work at a high standard. This would not be a complete history- if we did not mention the men who have left us to make a name for themselves in the wide world. Adams, Angcll, Delanccy, Dcnsmore, Rutter and Trayser have gone and we miss them all. Peffer has returned, much to the sorrow of the Frosh. In all that is worth while in the college, the class of 191 X has its quota of men; who cheerfully Lake up the Hobart work and truly cherish the Hobart traditions.

We started out with no flying colors, but as the old saying goes, a poor beginning makes a good ending.” In the banner scrap we gained a draw through many complications. The class rush was a repetition of this, although in the individuals, we far outclassed our opponents, the Sophomores. When the college craved excitement and wanted to see the talent of the class, the “Fresh Yodvil was staged to meet the demand. Now, this would have been a masterpiece if the “hook squad” had only been properly equipped. Then came the Frosh banquet which will long be remembered by all who attended. Being an unusual class, we naturally had to have two banquets. The second was given in honor of our dear friends, the “Sophs.” Well do we remember the hike in front the Experiment Station to town and those silken garments gently floating in the evening breeze across Seneca street. In many minor contests we excelled. Our big brothers, the upperclassmen, admit that we have the “pep” of the good old days when they were in our place. As to athletics, the basketball team won the interclass cup and five of the coveted “H’s” have been taken by members of the class. Why, then, should we not be proud of this record and claim our rightful place among the great classes of Hobart. Historian. 72 TI IE ECHO OF THE SENECA Freshman Class S. M. Barri s E. Baxter E. L.

Yeates VOLUME LV, 1916 109 Football Me view The season of 1915 was one of the most successful ever enjoyed by a Hobart football team, for, by completing the season without a single defeat, Hobart stands in that exclusive circle with Cornell, Pittsburgh and Columbia. Early in September, prospects were anything but bright, for several husky athletes failed to return to college, and the entering class was woefully wanting in big men who could play football. Prospects were so discouraging that it. was considered best to cancel the Syracuse game on September twenty-fifth. Hobart went into the first game against St. Lawrence with very little confidence behind her, in the student body, but emerged on the long end of a 6-0 score, the six being the result of Robbins’ two field goals. One week later, Alfred was defeated, 13-7. Alfred presented the strongest team she has had in years. They were a bunch of hard fighters, who were ably coached by Dr. Sweetland’s brother, an old Cornell player and former coach of Colgate and Syracuse. Two straight victories! Hobart had broken a record of several years' standing. There was more confidence in the College, but the townspeople said, wait until you meet Hamilton. Well— Hamilton must be given credit for playing a fine game for they succeeded in holding the Orange and Purple to a 0-0 score, and they were very lucky to do that, for at no time were they dangerous, while Hobart tried no less than five placements and was robbed of at least nine points by a treacherous wind. Then came the game with Clarkson, a heavy team and ably coached by Wah Swarthout, a former Geneva High School and Colgate star. Dr. Sweetland now had the Orange and Purple going at a fast pace and they over- whelmed Clarkson 20-0. Two weeks later came the climax to a successful season when Hobart’s time-honored rival, the University of Rochester was beaten, 12-0. Rochester was at her best, while Hobart being confident of victory, played below form. The Yellow resorted entirely to the running and passing game, and was success- ful, until she came near her opponent’s goal, then it was that Ho- bart's defense stiffened. On the other hand, relied almost entirely to the old fashioned game, with line plunges and ends around. Several passes were also tried but were unsuccessful, ft was here no ECHO OF THE SENECA that Robbins came to the front with his two field goals and Frank Campbell followed along with a touchdown after “Sky” Smith’s long dash almost to the goal. On Thanksgiving day, Hobart wound up the season with a 20-6, victory over her old rival, the University of Buffalo. Again Hobart was outweighed but not outplayed, for she proved her superiority at every point of the game. Buffalo's lone score was the result of a long forward pass. In Captain “Sky” Smith, Hobart had one of the best football players in the country. Never a showy player; he was in the game every minute, and his great defensive work and consistent line plunging was excelled only by his wonderful punting. He was a team in himself. Smith received his gold football, captained the “eleven” for the past two years and his name goes down in Hobart history among her great football heroes. The “eleven” also loses through graduation, Robbins, left guard and Pascoe, right tackle. Both have played on the Varsity the past three years and should be sadly missed next year. Next year, Hobart should have a still better team. Although the loss of the three men just mentioned, is a severe one, there is a strong second team to pick from, and this year’s success should bring some good men in the class of 1920. One naturally asks what the success of the season is due to. It is due, mainly to the efficient coaching of Dr. G. J. Sweetland, who, in two years, has developed the best football team Hobart has ever had. It took him one year to get acquainted with his men and drill his methods into them. Then came results. He developed a defensive team, on the theory that if one has a perfect defense, his opponent can't score and hence one can't be defeated. He gave his team a few good plays and not a mass of useless ones. He developed a placekicker, predicting that the team would win some games by field goals. He picked eleven men with the ability to work together and fight, and he everlastingly drilled into them the evils of overconfidence and the folly of judging teams by compara- tive scores. He has worked hard for his Alma Mater and even the worst knockers must admit that he has made good. The schedule contained six games. None of the teams hope- lessly outclassed Hobart as in previous years, and none of the teams were weak. Every victory was won only after a hard fight. Alfred was represented this year by the best team she has ever brought to Geneva, while Hamilton boasted of the best team in her history. Union was not on the schedule, although the management did its best to arrange a game.

Opening the league with a 4-2 victory over Cornell, last year’s champions seemed to give the Orange and Purple an excellent chance Cor the championship of the United States Lacrosse League, but their hopes were dashed in the Harvard game. Ouigg's score in the opening minute of play seemed to make Hobart over confident, and to make the Crimson wake up, for they soon gained the lead of 6-2, and although Hobart came back strong in the second half, she was unable to overcome the lead and the game ended s-2, Harvard’s favor. The third team in the League, Stevens, proved easy for Hobart, but the Carlisle Indians, after being outplayed in the first half, ran away with the game in the final period. The final game was with Penn State, and was lost bv one point on a field covered with water. During the whole season, the work of four men stood out prominently. Spaulding and Smith were the bulwarks of the de- fense, while Quigg and Pascoe were the stars for the attack. Although it was a veteran team, its success was due to the coach- ing of Billy Fitzgerald, who fully lived up to his reputation. The weak spots were in the attack, the defense being the equal of any in the country. Eight men were lost through graduation. Captain Paige. Quigg, Spaulding, Van Ingen, Stuart, Penn. Herlinger and Dantzer have all played their last game for Hobart, and we can’t see any subs capable of filling their shoes, so that it looks as if the coach had a real job on his hands for 1916.

It broke even on the total number of games played, but won only two of the inter- collegiate games. Niagara and Rochester were clearly superior to Hobart, while the Buffalo and Syracuse games were lost through hard luck. We broke even with Clarkson and St. Lawrence, while the Waterloo and Geneva games were practice affairs which served to give the coach a line on his men. Mapes proved to be a very valuable pitcher for the team, as he won from St. Lawrence and Clarkson and pitched good ball against Buffalo, Rochester and Syra- cuse.

No advance schedule was prepared, so that when the management did try to arrange games, it invariably found that the other teams had no open dates. However, games were arranged with Buffalo, Syracuse and Auburn. Of these teams the Orange and Purple defeated Auburn once, but lost twice to Buffalo, once to Syracuse Frosh and once to Auburn. Buffalo and the Syracuse Frosh were given hard battles here. As there are a couple of Seniors on the team it. should do much better next year, and with a good five representing Hobart, there should be no cause for worry about supporting the team. Geneva has always been a good basketball town, but it will not support a poor team. The management should arrange its schedule now. A good schedule will draw basketball players to the college and a good team will draw good support. THE TEAM C. R. Moodey, - J. R. Moodey, Captain, F. J. Carr, D. H. Mapes, G. S. Greene, A. C.

Its duty is the supervision of that part of the college interests not governed by the Board of Control or by the Athletic Council. Its meetings are open to the. students for a stated period before it goes into business session, at which time a student may bring to the notice of the council any matter falling under its supervision.

To meet this need a society was formed in February, 1915. At first legislative procedure, papers, short debates and criticisms by faculty representatives, occupied the meetings. This year several well prepared debates have been held in fields mapped out for investigation by Professors Williams and Eaton. The Forum, for such is the name of this organization, has received challenges to debate with other colleges and an invitation to join the Tau Kappa Alpha honorary debating society.

Dr. Silver had suffered from the grippe, together with an ulcerated tooth for about a week. On Friday, February second, his ulcerated tooth developed an abscess and his physician lanced it. Septic- poisoning set in and in a very short time spread throughout his system. His now weakened condition made him quite susceptible and lie then developed pneumonia which claimed him as an easy victim. Dr. Silver was bum near Baltimore, Md. After his preparatory education, he entered Princeton University, from which he received the degree of B.A., in 1886 and his degree of A.M., in 1888. Follow- ing this he taught in Jaffna College, Celon, for two years. He then returned to this country and spent two years at the Cam- bridge Theological School. The following two years were spent abroad, studying at the University of Berlin, Heidelberg and Paris. Returning to this country in 1892 he pursued a post-graduate course at Johns Hopkins University in Plistory and Philosophy, and in 1895 he received a degree of Doctor of Philosophy from the Uni- versity. Immediately following this work, Dr. Silver was called to take the chair of History at Hobart College, which place he held till the time of his death. As an instructor, Dr. Silver was considered one of the ablest men on the faculty. His fascinating lectures, covering the entire field of History, made his courses extremely popular. Outside of the classroom, Dr. Silver took an active inter- est in all student activities. He was particularly interested in current events and his weekly lectures on current topics were both interesting and profitable. For years, he ably filled the position of general manager and treasurer of the Athletic Association and was also general manager of the Board of Control. These offices were instrumental in obtain- ing for him a deep insight into all undergraduate affairs and a per- fect understanding of student activities. He was respected, loved 144 THE ECHO OF THE SENECA and admired by every student both for his position on the faculty and his untiring work for the benefit of the students and the College. Dr. Silver was an enthusiastic student of the present European war, and spent his vacation last summer, and the one before, as the guest of the American Ambassador F. C. Penfield, at Vienna. While there he gained invaluable knowledge of the European situation, which kept him constantly in demand here, as a lecturer. His opinions on the situation were held in high esteem in this part of the country. There is hardly a doubt, but that his familiarity with foreign conditions and his great diplomatic powers would soon have called him into the service of higher ends than his work here. Dr. Silver was a member of the Phi Beta Kappa Society, Kappa Alpha Society, American Historical Association, the Na- tional Geographical Society and the University Club. Among his writings is, “The Provincial Government of Maryland.” In losing Dr. Silver we have lost a man who was an inspiration to every student in every phase of college life in which he worked. His labors were always for the advancement of the College, and they were unceasing and faithful. His teachings were always an influence for the good, helping to broaden the student’s outlook, and to establish the elementary principles of honesty and clear thinking. He is no longer with us, but the memory of his faithful work will be an inspiration to the student body to give the College the best they have in them, and to fill them with true college spirit and college loyalty. There has been taken from among us a man. Yesterday he was here, an inspiration to every student in every phase of college life in which he worked. Doctor Silver was a part of Hobart, representing the truest of that true Hobart spirit for which we strive, His labors were always for the advancement of the college, and they were unceasing and faithful. His achievements have given Hobart a place in athletics and security in student finances. To-day he is suddenly not with us. It is impossible to realize that his familiar figure will no longer be seen, that his voice in the class-room has been hushed. We cannot picture a Hobart without Doctor Silver. It will be a long time before we shall become ac- customed to his absence. VOLUME LV, 1916 145 We knew that there was grave clanger of our losing Doctor Silver, but there was no thought that he would be taken from us by the hand of death. We knew that the time was coming when he would be called to higher fields of endeavor. His familiarity with foreign conditions and his superb diplomatic powers would undoubtedly soon have been called into the service of higher ends than those of his work here. We would have rejoiced at his advancement though deeply regretting the loss to the college such advancement would mean. But losing him so suddenly and so entirely brings nothing but sorrow. There remains hardly a consoling thought. It is not for us to tell here of the things he did for Hobart. Every student who has ever had an insight into the problems in- volved in the management of student affairs knows that Doctor Silver was a prime necessity to cool the hotter heads who often helped to charge the college atmosphere unduly. His advice has more than once smoothed out difficulties in undergraduate life that threatened disaster to college tradition, to individual students, or to college institutions. In our class-rooms we shall no longer receive the inspiration of his grasp of historical subjects. We shall not have the privilege of the friendship which every man who calls himself a Hobart man has always felt to be his. Alumni who return to Hobart will no longer be able to look forward to the welcome that always waited for every Hobart man from Doctor Silver. We had given ourselves over to a week of recreation; we had entered Junior Week with the feeling that, our examinations over, we would enjoy ourselves to the utmost; the week had proven to be all we expected of it. Then, with the strains of wild dance music still in our ears, we awoke after the last night of the week to learn the stunning news of Doctor Silver's sudden death. The college round of existence drags slowly. No one seems able to fully realize that the college has been so bereft. It is with a start that we find ourselves thinking of affairs as if the man were still here. It is difficult to convince ourselves that we have lost him. To sit in classes under Doctor Silver was a liberal education. It developed the man as well as the mind in us. He is living on in the influence that he has exerted over generations of Hobart men. He is a type of the true elder race, and one of Plutarch's men has talked with us face to face.” Delivered in St. John’s Chapel, Friday Morning, March Twenty-Fourth, Nineteen Sixteen, by Professor Herbert Hilarion Yeames The following, which was spoken in chapel by Professor Yeames last Friday morning, The Herald believes is one of the finest tributes ever uttered. No man can read through its lines without gaining a fuller appreciation of Doctor Silver, or without himself becoming a 1 tetter man. It is a universal human instinct that is summed up in the old adage, De mortuis nil nisi bonum,—-Of the dead speak naught but good. One who knew Doctor Silver well has said that the only fault to be found with him was his lack of religious faith. To me there seems to be misunderstanding here. He had been trained for the ministry of the church, but had never entered upon that work because of his honest conviction that it was not the work for him, and because of his honest doubt of many of the things that a minister of the church is supposed to believe. “There lives more faith in honest doubt, believe me, than in half the creeds.” Any- thing like hypocrisy or even compromise was impossible to him. Intellectual integrity is the first requisite for any real religious faith: that first step he had taken firmly, and his sincerity would allow him to take no father steps until he could see the way clearly. Such integrity and sincerity, I may' add, have far more moral value yes, and spiritual value too,—than the easy acquicscences of many so-called believers, or the narrow-minded dogmatism of many teachers of religion, and one of the reasons for the ineffectiveness of the church is that it has too many preachers who preach what they only think they believe, what in truth they have never dope any real thinking about at all. 1 1 iclieve then that even in his destructive criti- cism Doctor Silver’s teaching was an influence for good, helping at least to clear the air, to broaden the outlook, and to establish the elemen- tary essentials of honesty and clear thinking. He was perhaps an agnostic: who is not? Who is there that in the face of the eternal problems of an infinite universe must not bow his head in utter humility and say, “I do not know?” He was of course a skeptic: what else would any one wish to be? The skeptic is merely the man who keeps ever alive the spirit of inquiry—that intellectual curiosity in which, as Aristole says, all philosophy begins,—who is always on the lookout for new truth, always growing mentally, always following the gleam that lures us on the fascinating but baffling VOLUME LV, 1916 147 quest, the endless voyage of discovery into “that untraveled world whose margin fades forever and forever when we move.” Move we must, as long as the delicate machinery of the brain holds out— and why not longer? Is the human spirit completely dependent upon the frail vessel in which it sails on this brief voyage of its earthly life? No, though the ship goes down, though the voyager is lost to our eyes, surely his adventurous spirit goes on forever exploring those immeasurable, uncharted seas that lie beyond our human horizons. Of such a spirit as Doctor Silver's we feel instinctively, with a faith that is stronger than all reason, because it has its roots in instinct and emotion, far more potent forces in life than all our boasted intellect, that it lives on, because it has entered so deeply into other lives, because by stem self-discipline, by fearless following of the truth as he saw it, by unflinching fortitude and serene resigna- tion and self-forgetting goodwill, he had indeed laid hold on life, the only true life, the life everlasting. Moreover, heretic though he may be called—and what thinking man is not a heretic?—Doctor Silver remained a loyal son of the church. Though he might not glibly repeat the Creeds, he prized the rich treasury of her liturgy, and his attendance on her services was probably not surpassed by that of any layman in this community. No member either of faculty or of student-body was so faithful and so interested a worshipper in our college chapel. It was fitting that for him should be said in this chapel the last and most beautiful of all the Church’s services, that Burial Office which is perhaps the most sublime composition in all English prose. Finally, I feel that in the life of the spirit as well as that of the intellect and that of man among men, Doctor Silver was -a growing man. The very last real talk that I had with him was something of a revelation to me. He spoke with approval of some brief and simple printed words, expressing a sort of religious creed, or at any rate a philosophy of life. I said to him: “You would yourself en- dorse that much of a creed, wouldn’t you?” and he replied, “Yes, I think that I might except, perhaps the belief in immortality.” A few days after that came the sudden shock of his death. Now he knows as we all shall know in due time. The words of that little confession of faith were as follows: I quote them to show how far from an infidel our friend was, how real a religious feeling he had after all: “I have learned to esteem Truth above all things; to believe that this is a spiritual universe; that faith in God and in man always justifies itself: that goodwill is the bond which binds man to man, and man 148 ECHO OF THE SENECA to God; that man may be a co-worker with God in bringing cosmos out of chaos; that the humblest service may be infinitely worth while; that the beauty of the visible world and all that is fine and high in our inner life are proof of the Divine and the Immortal; that clear think- ing and right action give man a sufficient and self-rewarding task, and earn him a place in the universe; that neither this world nor the world to come has anything for the right-minded man to fear; that the possibilities of life here and hereafter in beauty and in service are infinite. Whatever his faith, at any rate Doctor Silver always seemed to me the truest Stoic that I have known, whether or not he was a conscious follower of Marcus Aurelius and Epictetus. And next to being a good Christian, far better than being a poor Christian, it is to be a good Stoic,—no easy task for the human spirit, imprisoned as it is in this poor body with its weaknesses, its pangs, and fears, its needs, and imperious desires. Much of the best that is in Christianity has come to us from the Stoics who, indeed, carried moral philoso- phy and purely natural religion as far as they could go; till the)' were kindled into emotion and vital spiritual power by the transcendant light shed upon them by that Teacher who truly was of God and spake as man never spake. Death has come very dose to us all, and no philosophy of life can be worth much that does not take account of death as well. It is not a morbid view that I would urge upon you: live your lives as fully and largely and joyously as you can, getting all you can out of the infinitely varied spectacle of this rich world in which wc live for so brief a space at most exerting every power to the utmost and missing no happiness or profit that life can bring; but do not neglect to look at life also under the aspect of eternity—sub specie aeternitatis, in Spinoza's memorable phrase. Those eternal aspects we find in the outer universe with its indestructible matter and its inexhaustible beauty ever combining' in infinite variations and in that inner cosmos of the human soul, with its infinite yearnings, its hardly yet explored capacities for beauty and goodness and power -those two things, the starry heaven above and the moral law within, which so impres- sed the mind of Aristotle, greatest of ancient philosophers, as they did that of Kant, the greatest of the modems. Only when we look on life as an infinite process, and on all lives as emanating from the infinite source of Life and partaking in greater or less degree of its very nature, ever growing in its quest of beauty and goodness and truth upward toward the Divine, only then shall we see this VOLUME LV, 1916 149 short stretch of earthly life in its true perspective and regard death as a natural step in the process, even as birth is. Only then shall we see that nothing is really worth striving for in this fleeting phase of existence, except the things of the spirit, which are eternal, the things that are summed up in those two words, which, best describe the essential personality of men like Doctor Silver, intellect and character: those only leave their impress when we are gone; those only we can take with us when we go hence; the rest is dust and ashes, the dream of a shadow. The pathos of this pitiful little life of ours disappears only when viewed against the vast background of eternity. It is as Shelley, true Platinost that he was, said in what is perhaps the finest simile in English poetry: The One remains, the many change and pass: Heaven's light forever shines, Earth’s shadows fly; Life, like a dome of many-colored glass. Stains the white radiance of Eternity, Until Death tramples it to fragments. Or as one of those ancient Hindu mystics from whom we of the West have so much to learn has said: “The impulses are higher than the bodily powers; emotion is higher than the impulses; soul is higher than emotion; higher than soul is the self, the great one. Higher than this great one is the un- manifest, higher than the unmanifest is spirit. Than spirit nothing is higher, for it is the goal, and the supreme way. . . This is the immemorial teaching declared by death. Speaking it and hear- ing it, the sage is mighty in the eternal world. Whosoever, being pure, shall cause this supreme secret to be heard, in the assembly of those who seek the Eternal, or at the time of the union with those who have gone forth, he indeed builds for endlessness, he builds for endlessness. . . When abandoned by life, verily, this body dies, but Life itself does not die. For that Soul is the Self of all that is, this is the real, this the Self. That thou art. H. H. Y. 150 THE ECHO OF THE SENECA John Archer Silver (Copy from Holiari Herald, March 29) I cannot grieve as they who shed their tears Full of sad mourning and melancholy sighs, Nor can I live these coming, earnest years In sorrow for a soul that never dies. If memory have aught that’s good and true In sweet associations with the past, Then will the future hold the past in view And guide us till we know the truth at last, For life is but a striving after truth Where there seems much we cannot understand; And they who lead us through these years of youth With earnest counsel and a loving hand Are not forgotten, but are set secure Within each living soul, where they endure. K. C. H., T6. The Passing of the Old Cynic We have watched with feelings of great joy, during the past year, the passing of the old gym. The building had long outlived its usefulness, and had become a blot upon our beautiful Campus. Nevertheless, it was a part of the “old Hobart, and we think it only proper, that we preserve its memory in this book, with a brief sketch of its history. It was built in i 886 and was then considered one of the finest in this part of the State. The back part of the building was built of bricks from the old “Middle Building,” which stood between Trinity and Geneva Halls and which was destroyed by fire. Inadequacies, however, were soon discovered and a dream of a new gymnasium was impressed upon the minds of the students. The basement and the first floor were used for gymnastic work and the second floor was made into class rooms, and used as such until Coxc Hall was built. The Museum was on the top floor. In 1901 the building was declared unsafe and the new gymnasium was started. Later the second floor came into use as a sort of a Commons Club Dining Room, and was used as such for a short time. In 1908, with the erection of Coxc and Smith Halls the old building was rapidly abandoned and it rapidly deteriorated, being used simply as a store house. During 1914 it was turned into an Infirmary and Frank Andrews, ’17, had the honor of occupying it during his struggle with the scarlet fever. On Calculus night. June 12, 1915, after the festivities had ceased and the entire college body was shrouded in darkness and every- thing was quiet, someone discovered that the old building had mysteriously caught lire (some say that it was from the Calculus bonfire) and was soon a mass of flames. Then some kind hearted soul thoughtlessly called the Fire Department and they, by their heroic work, soon quenched the flames. The interior of the building was totally destroyed, and during the present year, it has, by degrees, been removed from the Campus; but even during its removal it was a scene of interest and instruction. Dean Durfee and Professor Bacon watched its removal with keen interest. The Dean could be seen figuring the number of bricks 152 THE ECHO OF THE SENECA in each wall and Professor Bacon would compute the velocity of each of the chimneys as they fell. Thus has one of the old land marks passed from our sight to make way for a larger and better Hobart. Hobart College The movement for the establishment in the State of New York, at some point west of Albany, of a College of liberal culture under Episcopal auspices, first found expression in a resolution adopted under the suggestion of the originator of the movement, the Rev. Amos G. Baldwin, by the Trustees of Fairfield Academy, April io, iX12, petitioning Trinity Church, New York, for a grant of funds to that end. In the following year the Corporation of Trinity Church founded, in connection with the Fairfield Academy, a Theological School. In 1818, Bishop Hobart, recognizing the importance, if not necessity, of having in the western portion of his great Diocese a School of liberal culture, as well as a 'rheo- logical School, communicated to friends in Geneva his plan to transfer the Theological School from Fairfield to Geneva, in con- nection with a “college and printing press” proposed to be estab- lished there; and in 1821 the transfer was made. The Principal of the Theological School, the Rev. Daniel McDonald, D.D., was the steadfast coadjutor of Bishop Hobart in this educational move- ment. In 1822, April 10, just ten years after the inception of the movement, the plan for the foundation of a College of general culture, by raising Geneva Academy, revived in 1821. to the rank of a College, was approved by the Regents of the University of the State of New York, and a provisional charter was granted. In 1824, new and more satisfactory provisions for theological instruc- tion having been devised, the Branch Theological School, as it was then styled, was abolished, and its endowment was transferred to 154 THE ECHO OF TI IE SENECA Ihe proposed College. In 1825, February 8, the conditions of the provisional charter having been complied with, a full charter was granted under the title Geneva College, and in 1826 the first class was graduated. Instruction began in the oldest of the college buildings, Geneva Hall, in the spring of 1822, and the class graduated in 1826 was the first class graduated from any Episcopal College established since the American Revolution. The College thus founded was maintained with the greatest difficulty on the scanty endowment originally provided by sub- scription, and only through the unexampled devotion and self- denial of its Faculty, under the leadership of President Hale. Since 1851 its endowment has steadily grown through the generosity of its friends, and though still inadequate for its higher aims and increasing wants, has proved sufficient, for providing a most thorough course of study in all essential departments. At its first meeting after its organization in 1825, the Board of Trustees pledged itself to maintain in the College perpetually, in addition to the usual course of classical studies, an English Course in direct reference to the practical business of life. This was the first instance of action bv a College of liberal culture to diversify its curriculum by the offer of a course other than, and additional to, the customary classical course. Three courses of instruction are now maintained, each of four years, the Classical Course, the Course in Letters and Science (the English Course above men- tioned) and the Course in Letters with Latin. Provision is also made for special courses, and for a system of elective studies in the upper class work. The College grounds, on which arc grouped all the College buildings, are now over fifteen acres in extent. They are situated on Main street, in the most beautiful portion of the village, three quarters of a mile from the business centre. To the east the pros- pect opens on Seneca Lake, at this point two miles or more in width, while to the west it includes the ridge, so-called, with its lawns and villas. The College land extends down to the lake, which is here ninety feet below the level of the street. The original College grounds embraced only the village lot on which stands Geneva Hall. The buildings include Geneva and Trinity Halls, erected respectively in 1822 and 1837, and occupied by students’ rooms; St. John's Chapel, of stone, of Early English architecture, com- pletely and handsomely fitted for Divine Service, erected in 1862; the Astronomical Observatory , in 1870, an octagon tower with VOLUME LV, 1916 155 win.es, and a revolving dome for the telescope; the South Build- ing, i N8o, of stone, with lecture-rooms and laboratories; the Dcm- arest Memorial Library Building, i885-'96, of stone, in Early English style, 36 feet by 117 and three stories in height, with room in its alcoves and galleries for one hundred thousand volumes; Alumni Hall, 1886-8, containing the Gymnasium, lecture rooms, geological and mineralogical cabinet and museum; the Boat House, on the water line of the College grounds; and six substantial and commodious houses for the residence of the President and Professors. The Library, almost destroyed in 1885, is now increased to thirty-five thousand volumes and some six thousand pamphlets, including a full collection of standard works in all departments of college instruction, and has also admirably appointed rooms for class and private study and reading. The Physical and Chemical Laboratories, Observatory, Cabinets and Museum of Natural History, Gymnasium and Campus, now furnish ample provision for all the best requirements of College life and work. The College now offers to deserving students a large number of scholarships of considerable value, as well as many prizes for special scholarships: and with the great advantage of residence in the city of Geneva,—an ideal College town, long famous for its social culture as well as its surpassing natural beauty,—is able to give to its students opportunities of education, moral, intel- lectual and physical, which within its proper sphere leave little to be desired. Full details of the present equipment, resources and curriculum of the College, and of other matters touched upon in the above historical sketch, will be found in the Annual Catalogue. RT. RRV.

Bishop Hobart was the FOUNDER OF HOHARTCOLLEGE As a Church School, by uniting “Geneva Academy with the “Fair- field Theological School, 1818-21; as a Church College with University Charter, February 8, 1825. His name does not appear in the original list of Trustees. PRESIDENTS OF HOBART Presid eini(Ls of Hobart The movement for the establishment in New York State, at some point west of Albany, of a college of liberal culture under Episcopal auspices was first taken up in 1812. The real movement for the establishment of Hobart College was begun in 1818 by Bishop Hobart, from whom the college derives its name. It was formally started about 1822, graduating its first class in 1826. The records show that the first president was the Rev. Jasper Adams, who served from 1826 to 1828. The next President was the Rev. Richard Sharpe Mason, serving from 18,to to 1835. The term of the Rev. Benjamin Hale was one of the longest of any presi- dent connected with the College. His administration lasted from 1858 to 1867. He was succeeded by the Rev. James Kent Stone who served from 1868 to 1869. The next President was the Rev. James Rankine, serving from 1869 to 1871. Then the Rev. Maunsell Van Rensellaer next took the place at the helm and remained from 1871 to 1876. The Rev. William Stevens Perry served from April 1876 until September of the same year. He was succeeded by the Rev. Robert Graham Hinsdale who served until 1883. The longest term of any president in the history of the institu- tion was served by Dr. Eliphalet Nott Potter, from 1884 to 1897. He was brother of the famous Episcopal Bishop Potter of New York. Since then the College has had as presidents the Rev. Robert Ellis Jones, a well known scholar, who only remained two years; the Rev. L. G. Stewardson, prominent as a professor and clergyman, who was obliged to resign on account of the ill health of his wife. From the time of his resignation until the Rev. Lyman Pierson Powell was inaugurated. Dean Durfee ably filled the position of acting President. During the Christmas recess of 1915, Dr. Powell was taken ill and has been granted a six months’ leave of absence. At a recent meeting of the Trustees, in New York City. Dean Durfee was again made acting President. It is to be hoped that our President will enjoy a long term with peaceful and beneficial relations for the College, which to-day, as one hundred years ago, ranks as one of the best small colleges in the country.
