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

Text from Pages 1 - 237 of the 1918 volume:

By a majority vote of the student body it was decided that the name of the Hobart Girl should be Jane. The votes were given before the picture was seen by the students. The faculty vote gave the name Ruth, a slight favorite, but the students were almost unanimous in the name chosen. The Hobart Girl was drawn for the 191.S Echo by Ralph Barton. Mr. Barton is a thoroughly up-to-the-minute artist and his work has that illusive something called “pep”. All of the up-to-date magazines have featured his work. At the present time his drawings are featured by Puck. In the Hobart Girl, Ralph Barton has given us the girl that we all adore. One smile from her makes our heart turn floppety-flop and every man-bov of us at Hobart is dead in love with her. Her name is Jane. Her age is 19. She is The Girl. The original sketch of The Hobart Girl will be presented to the Hobart Club. The drawing is valued at S75 by the Echo Board. 4 MIL ECHO OF THE SENECA The Juma s ff§ Joe Blick, liis book. F.

He has an intelligent grasp of student aetivities and keeps in close touch with the life “on the campus. It is with gratitude for what he has done and is doing now for TTobart College that the class of 191S dedicate their volume of The Echo of The Senec a to Alexander Logan Harris. In time of trouble when the student needs advice, in time of joy when he wants a friend that will understand, the Hobart under- graduate turns to Professor Harris. What more of praise can be given to a man than this: He has the admiration and trust of Hobart men. THE ECHO OF THE SENECA F0EEW0EP rHE Echo board of 1918 has endeavored to put into the follow- ing pages, a bit of the spirit of the new Hobart. This volume has been dedicated to a man who is a fit representative of this spirit of progress and new ideas. Hobart College has entered upon a new era in her life. It began with higher demands in scholarship, increasing zeal in athletics and a new spirit of democracy and goodfellowship on the campus. It is needless to mention the innovations of the past year; the prog- ress of the endowment fund, the sub-freshman day, and the various bonds which have been created to bind the alumni closer to their Alma Mater. It is this spirit of co-operation and friendship, cleanness in athletics, and democracy in Hobart life, that the 1918 Echo has aimed to picture. We have tried to tell of the new conditions of Hobart and, at the same time cling to the old traditions that must mean so much to every Hobart man. Bear with our pleasantries. Criticise this 1 took only with the spirit that will make for a better Echo in the future. In behalf of the class of 1918 this volume is presented with no apologies or no misgivings. The 1918 Echo Board has done its best. “Go, littel myne book Go, littel myne tragedie’' Editor-in chief. SUXRISK VOLUME LVI. !9;i7 9 J. S. LEWIS GREENE WHITCOMB SMITH BLICKEXSDERFER MOPFITT R. M.

THE ECHO OF THE SENECA I 2 POWELL EVANS SS VOLUME LVI, 1917 I 3 Trastegs l£E@eft®d Pow@flfl Evasas M Written for the tScnn liy I;uiim,ki k I . Gburkiikrc, Director of LhiUnlelphiii Uumm of Municipal Research Hobart College may well be proud of having graduated Powell Evans, class of 1888. Not only has he served his college and his business well, but he has given himself unsparingly to community and public service, always as a volunteer and always from a fine sense of civic duty. From his experience in trying to get things done for the common good, he has learned that public service needs trained, far- seeing. intelligent men, imbued with a desire to serve and, in so doing, to find themselves. Mr. Evans was born in South Carolina in 1868, the son of Dr. James Evans and Marie Antoinette Powell of Leesburg, Virginia. He was educated in the schools of Florence, S. C. While in Hobart college, he was a member of Sigma Phi and was awarded Phi Beta Kappa. Graduating in 1888 with special training in engineering, he entered business, meeting with great success and finally becoming principal owner of Merchant Evans in 1905. Fie is also an officer of two other corporations, one traction and the other a sprinkler company. One of his most distinctive public services was the organization of the Philadelphia Fire Prevention Commission of the Department of Public Safety and of the First American National Fire Prevention Convention, held in Philadelphia in 1913. When one considers the tremendous fire waste in the United States annually, this is funda- mental preventive work. His efforts in this direction have been constant and unremitting. As trustee of Hobart College, Powell Evans is giving unstinted service, and in addition is contributing generously to the endowment, making possible two large scholarships for the right sort of young men. In 1882 he won a state scholarship which he was denied on account of his youth. It is only natural, therefore, that the need for scholarships should appeal to him. Although he is an extremely busy man, Mr. Evans finds time to serve as director of a national bank and of a trust company, as Vice- THE ECHO OF THE SENECA WILLIAM BOND READ VOLUME LVI. 19 17 I 5 President of the Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce, the largest body of its kind in the United States, and as trustee of the Philadelphia Bureau of Municipal Research. Because he has been impressed so forcibly with the need of trained men for public service, he has arranged for a course of lectures to be given at Hobart next year on the scientific management of cities. Training for public service is a task that our colleges and universities have been slow to shoulder, but now that they have realized this obligation to society, courses are rapidly being installed with the proper field and laboratory work, to provide the country with the kind of men we must have if our great experiment in democracy is to be a real success. Hobart is a pioneer among the smaller colleges in this new endeavor. It is due largely to the broad vision of Powell Evans, '88, that his Alma Mater is among the leaders in this new movement. Written liy P. H. Whai.i'Y, Editor of the l’hil:ulri| lii;i Evening Lodger William Bond Read, who was elected a Trustee of Hobart College in January, 1917, was bom in Plantersville, South Carolina, April 2, 0S77. Graduating from the Porter Military Academy, Charleston, South Carolina, in 1.X95, he entered Hobart in September of the same year, taking the scientific course. He was given the B.S. degree in 1898. Mr. Read was active in college affairs. In his senior year, he was a member of the Varsity eleven and he played on the first lacrosse team to represent Hobart in an intercollegiate contest. He never posed as a brilliant athlete, nor as a brilliant scholar, but he had a way of getting there and a very clear perception of his goal. The old gymnasium had shower baths, in fact, and hot water in theory. An inkling of the ruggedness of Mr. Read’s character may be gathered from the fact that he, alone among the students, braved the icy water in that desolate establishment every morning before breakfast. Thereafter, the world’s cold shoulder could not daunt him. In common with many other Southern men educated at Hobart, whose THE ECHO OF THE SENECA families bad been sufferers from the Civil War, he was not bountifully provided with this world’s goods. Mr. Read left Geneva with a degree, a suit of clothes, a ticket to Philadelphia and a determination “to arrive. He differed from Ben Franklin in the time more than in the circumstances of his enti ance into Philadelphia. By day he labored in the office of a stock broker, and by night he taught school. He read law at Temple Uni- versity. By 1902, however, the call of steel had become insistent, and he entered the Midvale Steel Company as a clerk. He was superintendent of the iron foundry within a year, and subsequently became also assistant superintendent of the open hearth departments. He severed his connection with this company, January i, 1912, to engage in the manufacture of all-steel automobile bodies, becoming Secretary of the Btidd Manufacturing Company in 1913, and, in 1914, Secretary and Treasurer. The growth of this firm is one of the romances of industrial America and Mr. Read’s part in it has been conspicuous. Mr. Read brings to the service of Hobart College a great love for the institution, which will be readily translated into accomplishment. His business experience is broad and his judgment is of rare sound- ness. His forebears were makers of history in Revolutionary South Carolina, big, virile men and women, who met life courageously and feared only God. Mr. Read has inherited their qualities. His vision is comprehensive. He has no patience with littleness as such but there is no detail too small for his attention. This is, perhaps, the secret of his wonderful efficiency. His optimism is persuasive. The charm of manner which distinguished the gentlemen of the old school distinguishes also Mr. Read. He is a member of the Kappa Alpha Society, of the Art, the Racquet and other clubs in Philadelphia. He takes a deep interest in religious work and is a vestryman of the Episcopal Church at Conshohocken. Mr. Read married, in 1909, Miss Rachel B. Wood, of Philadelphia, and is the father of three children, two girls and one boy. VOLUME LVI, 1917 I 7 C@EE@ @ f@ff 1916=1 1916-17 J an. 4- Thursday, Christmas recess ends X.4=; a. m. Jan. 16.

Mr. Welch came to Hobart in the fall and took charge of the football team and the work at the gymnasium. It was especi ally lucky that Hobart was able to secure him for he is a former Geneva High School boy and both the college and the town were interested in his work. He was prepared at Dean and at the University of Pennsylvania. He played a prominent part in athletics at both places. Of his work at Hobart he says, “My work this year has been most pleasant and for the men who have taken part in athletics under my supervision I can say that they are gentlemen in every sense of the word and Hobart may feel justly proud of them.” “Dcak” Welch stands for the best type of athletics and sportmanship and has taken up the work at Hobart with earnestness and enthusiasm.

Charles Wilson Secretary Treasurer II. PETER COATES—II IS PARTY THE SENIOR CLASS VOLUME LVI, 1917 5 1 The Class of 1917, we feel, holds a unique position in the annals of Hobart College. In its four years here it has furthered many radical changes in student government. It lias conscientiously tried to associate itself with all progressive plans for the improvement and expansion of its Alma Mater and altho' there have been many differences of opinion as to method it may be sincerely said that the ideal of every member has been the betterment of his college. With the advent of 1917 to a position of seniority great changes were taking place, new forces were making themselves felt and a new attitude and spirit were in evidence among the student body. Taking full cognizance of these factors the class of 1917 has endeavored to so conduct its regime as to leave its college better for its efforts, richer in spirit, broader in its perspective and more liberal in its aims. Even THE ECHO OF THE SENECA 52 in regard to underclass discipline it has tried to work a system of co-operation, a policy of constructive suggestion and one in keeping with a democratic institution in preference to its inherited policy of unlimited authority exercised by a few in the interests of the few. Altho the class of 1917 has actively furthered these higher ends it has by no means failed to take a keen interest in all college activi- ties. Captaincies in the various sports, memberships in different college organizations, underclass teams and scraps as well as high scholastic standing all bear witness to the intense relation of 19 7 to the more immediate collegiate affairs. And what could be more fitting than that 1917 should here reiterate its intention of continuing its efforts in behalf of its Alma Mater and attempt at least in a modest way to establish a better and more amicable relation between Hobart and its alumni so that it can look forward to returning with the satisfaction of seeing its own modest efforts crowned with success, and the fruition of its fondest hopes.

From the latest word received from Homell we learn that he is entering the auto game, not as a racer, (Angeli never was one of these fast guys) Imt as a salesman. De Lancey has grown a larger tash than ever. Once in awhile he visits Geneva and he is the envy of all less unfortunates. Densmore visits college occasionally. He is just as good looking and as good natural as ever (and that is saying quite some for a son of Geneva.) Ellsworth is working on the railroad all the livelong day. He is in charge of the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul railroad. Hooker left two pictures for publication in Tint Echo. Some- times we get homesick for his smile. Come back, Peggie dear, come back. Meyer is around town and now a prominent business man. It is rumored that- oh, well, who believes it? Moore? ? He is still at Kenmore and sends his best to all the bovs. Thank you. Also note that he wants the photo returned. For why? Who can tell? Red field, how we miss you? Do you remember when Red field used to break Senior rules and those were the good old days. Rigby can still be found on the old stamping ground. We had the deuce of a time to get a picture of him. Why s modest, Gustavus? Roth visits Geneva once in a while. When is the happy event going to take place? Tra la la la. Townsend is at Penn State. Here the words of wisdom from his mouth: I was very successful in securing credit for Hobart work. The Chem and Physics that I had at Hobart are superior to equivalent courses here. Trayser is in the wild and wooley. He sendeth his lovingeth love to the class of' i S. Adams has charge of a company at Frankfort. I have been in just one night in the last week. As usual a girl. Chittenden is in tine army. How sweet he looks in uniform. Picket is still giving advice to the President at Washington, D. C. Rutter is at the General Rem. in New York. They do say that he got honors in Greek.

That is Joe Blickcnsderfer, my children. Do not think that he is a man just because he wears the little brown eyelash on his upper lip. That only means that he is trying to look like a man.

He is only tired. He is always tired. He thinks that he is an author. One day he wrote a poem and he has been very proud of himself ever since. He comes from out West and has some queer ways. Blunt once tried to be a detective but since he has grown up to be a man he often wears clean collars and kid gloves. Why is Percy queer ? 11 is because he rooms with Spencer. That is enough to make anyone queer. Is Blunt a boob, father? No, my child, he is studying for the ministry—that is all that ails him. BLUNT VOLUME LVI, 1917 65 See the pretty man.

How seldom early in the morning at 11 or 12 o'clock have we seen the old junk pile (The auto, not Billie) rushing up South Main Street carrying its master to his semi-annual nine o’clock class. Kitchell has a great drag with Dean Durfee. The Dean and he talk things over quite often. Always before final exams the Dean calls him in the office and tells him lots of things. What does the Dean tell Kitchell, father? I do not know, my little ones, but it must be nice.

Hassy is another personage in the Hobart gallery of freaks because he is studying for the ministry and getting an unhealthy start for Seminary. Does he keep it secret, pater? No, Roy, that is the funny part of the matter. He announces his intentions by his saintly demeanor and parsonly air while attending classes. He pretends to be very interested in his studies and he has even been known to tell Mr. Pi of. Du.vs v tlmt the Ill-Luil in Pay id 1 ivci.s interesting. Thus he hopes to place a Phi Bet key on his shrinking form. What seems to be most the matter with Mr. Hassy, father? I think it is because he is president of the Forum and practices his arguments on every one he sees. He also has a queer idea that study should come before play. Is he not a funny man?

But we had a little more to show than quantity, and the Sophs sought their hovels for the first week of college. Nothing marred the brilliance of our Freshmen record, except the sad incident of one who missed our moral influence. He failed to keep up with our pace and got behind the times. In the fall a large majority of 1919 was on the gridiron and three of our men won M's as members of the unbeaten team of 1915. In basketball besides filling two Varsity positions, we won the interclass tup. Spring saw the unparalleled incident of three first year men on the lacrosse team and in baseball, besides several varsity men; a winning class team was produced. As for scraps, well, w'e were of a lighting stock. We won, the generals, individuals, cane rush, and the flour scrap. On our return in 1916 we found our number had dropped to thirty-three. Many had sought education in more specialized fields of study. We had al the men we needed, however, as several Freshmen found out when they were in the vicinity of Dresden and Canandaigua. 9 6 THE ECHO OF THE SENECA In athletics wc repeated our previous showing on a larger scale. Carr, Dinan, Myler, Yeates and Gracey, all of 1919 did creditable work on the football eleven, while three of '19 men have won the basketball H. And now we have something unusual to pen in this short history of ours. We mean the Soph Hop. Vayo was elected chairman and with an able committee, we put across the “best ever Hop. And the unusual feature of it was that we charged two dollars and made ninety cents. Wc expect to show a little more of our calibre when the spring sports start, but now we submit to you the remarkable record of Hobart’s banner class: Hcrendeen X (his mark). Mountfort, X (his mark). 1 Roughnecks) T!fo@ In the second chapter of Hobart history (profane history) are the following names, written in a large hand: Shell Barrus, Becky Baxter, Cap Beecher, C. R.

The first scrap of the year we won as easily as we expect to win the last, and we were able to forego all other enjoyments and attend the Senior Party in a mass. The Sophomores, when confronted with our many victories, say that they excel us in individual scrapping, and yet they did not even attempt the cane-rush. The tug of war which is a test of staying power was naturally won by us. We smiled throughout the football game at the futile attempts of the Sophs, and after the game laughed aloud. Although all night affairs are against our principles, we came through the banner scrap with the flag still there. We aver that we did more than any other class ever did toward the develop- ment of Hobart's pitching staff when we staged the “Frosh Vodvil.” We found some very promising material. Two of our men have won the ‘‘H , five have made Press Club and four are reporters for The Herald. We experienced no trouble in evading the Sophs and getting away to Pooh ester for our ban- quet. The freshman class has done very well scholastically, in contrast to the Sophomores. We hope there is a large entering class next year, for it will give us broader scope for our genius. The Frosh have shown lespuet Lu thp upperclassmen at all times, and have adequately subdued the Sophs whenever occasion has arisen. We are to be commended for our morals too, for the spirit of temperance in our class is embodied in its very sym- bol, H (2)(). J. Seymour Benton, Historian, ’20.

The purpose of the Economics Club, is to further the spread of student interest and understanding in the social, economic, and industrial problems of the day both by the discussion of such subjects within the organization itself in which capacity the club acts as an Economic Seminar, and by securing, economists, sociologists and men in public life to address the student body, faculty and the citizens of Geneva, in every walk of life in the field of investigation in which they are particularly interested. The first speaker secured by the Economics Club was Dr. Scott Nearing, who gave a most inspiring address on “Social Religion.’’ If the lectures to come serve to arouse as nmch interest and intelligent discussion on all sides as did Dr. Nearing’s, Hobart’s “Infant Indus- try’’ will have earned its place under the sun.

VOLUME LVI. 1917 153 Hobart’s 1916 football team was right on hand with the tight when it had to go up against a strong opponent and, altho the score may not show it, the season was decidedly successful. Coach Welch was at a disadvantage here because of its being his first year as Hobart’s coach and the material was entirely new to him. Pickering did not enter up in the fall and Jenkins was late in returning so the team lost its two fast ends. However, Captain Campbell had been busy during the summer and had some football material headed this way in the fall. The beating Hobart gave Hamilton was rather a surprise all 'round as Hamilton had already beaten Columbia. The way the team fought in this game and also in the game against St. Bonaven- ture's was something to be proud of. St. Bonnies was a fast team and had a big rep behind them so the team did themselves proud in holding them scoreless. The Rochester game was played on a muddy field in a pouring rain and, altho Hobart gave them a good battle, they won quite decisively. The Buffalo game was lost thru hard luck. St. Michael’s was a new team on the Hobart schedule and they brought lots of fight with them. Captain Campbell, Hubbs, Thornton and Mapes will be grad- uated this year and their places will be hard to fill. “Cutey” Camp- bell will be back with us providing some one will call off the war in time for him to get back. Several strong players were developed among the scrubs so that “Deak will not have wholly raw material to begin on next fall. J. S.

The practice game with Cornell on April 22 had to be called off on account of wet grounds but the team was hardly in shape to play at that time anyway. Captain Pascoe, Hubbs, MacDougall and Smith were the only veterans on the team and Billy Fitzgerald had his hands full breaking in eight new men to fill the vacant positions. These four men were towers of strength in themselves, however, and the rest of the team soon got in to shape. The Syracuse School of Forestry put a team in the field for the first time and Hobart had no difficulty in defeating them in the two games played. Roth and Carr, two strong attack men, were unable to play in the Cornell game and this had quite a little to do with the score by which Hobart lost. The Harvard game was played in a field of mud and the heavy Hobart defense men were at a loss in checking their men especially as there was no time to have cleats put on the shoes. It took an extra period of fifteen minutes to beat Yale but Roth managed to slip in the goal that counted. The Crescent Club of Bay Ridge gave the team a good time during its stay in New York, but Hobart had no qualms of conscience in beating them. A large crowd of New Yorkers witnessed the game. Hubbs is captain and with five others of the old men back and Billy to show them how, the team’s chances ought to be rather good this year. j. S. L.

Don Boyle had not returned to college, so the team was up a stump for pitchers as he and Mapes had been the main-stays on that end of the battery the year 1 oforc. Adams also had not returned and his place on second base had to be filled. Coach Swcetland’s first call for candidates came kite in the season on account of the poor condition of the diamond on Boswell field. Finally, a make-shift diamond had to be made on the campus and the home games were played there. Rain interfered with prac- tice for days at a time and everything was against the team. Reg Moodey was elected captain to take Robinson's place and the vacant places on the team were filled in. Manager Rutherford had a schedule of eleven games, all of them good ones, but in stepped old Jupiter Pluvius and mixed things up generally. The first game with Rochester had to be cancelled on account of wet grounds at Rochester, and four times during the season games were called off for this same reason. The team had poor luck on the long trip to Vermont, losing there to Middlebury and to Union at Schenectady. Buffalo, Clarkson and St. Lawrence were met only once during the season and Rochester not at all. Kinney and Randall alternated in the box and, with Whitcomb at the receiving end, made up the battery. There were no particular stars but the older and more experienced men put up the best brand of baseball. This year the team will be re-enforced by new material from the freshman class and Coach Welch will have more men who have had experience to work with. J. S. L. VOLUME LVI, 1917 163 REG.

Several old-time rivals were again met including St. Lawrence, Clarkson and Albany Law School and the Teacher’s College at Albany was another opponent. Under the coaching of “Deak” Welch a strong team was developed which made a good showing against teams stronger than itself, In addition to the intercollegiate schedule Hobart was also a member of the City League of which St. Peter’s, Company B and the Geneva Athletics were the other members. Some very close and exciting games have been played and at present writing Hobart is in the lead with a good chance of staying there till the finish. The nucleus formed this year should prove very beneficial in putting out a strong five next year as several of the old players expect to return to college. J. S. L. THE TEAM C. R.

VAX AUK EX VOLUME LVI. 19 17 177 Asa We, at Hobart, have lost a friend -a man who had, perhaps more than any other man, the eagerness of the new Hobart Spirit. In his daily life he tried to carry out its application of friendship and democracy. Mr. Van Auken was not only a trusted friend but he was the faithful servant and guardian of Hobart interests. Crafty Van, we students called him—-and many were the jokes that we aimed at him through the columns of The Echo and The Herald. And Crafty took these jokes as they were meant. He saw the undergraduate point of view and enjoyed the witticisms that were directed at the Treasurer's Department. We shall miss Crafty Van at chapel. He was always in his pew on Sunday night. We shall miss him in Coxe Hall where he was at his post of duty. I remember meeting Crafty when I returned to college last fall and as he shook hands with me, he said cordially. “I am glad to see you back at Hobart. I enjoy meeting the students after their vacation.” Yes, most of all shall we miss the man as we knew him on the campus—sprightly, alert, and young—never demonstrative in the least, but always sincerely a friend. THE ECHO OF THE SENECA I 7 8 A Eflofoaffft fiflyaam “Ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free. Strong stands old Hobart; may she stand for ever, Built on a rock that storms in vain assail, And bound by ties no time nor change can sever To loyal hearts, in love that ne’er will fail. As Seneca's blue waters clearly mirror The bluer skies above, her mission be To guard the springs of wisdom, pure from error, Reflecting 'Truth, the Truth that makes men free. “Learn, is her strong behest, The hours are fleeting, And charged up against you; therefore learn; Nov is the time or never,” Such the greeting. Upon her shield for all who toward her turn. Each hour with warning finger writes the dial In sunlight on her walls for all to see: Quit ye like men; now is the time for trial Know ye the Truth; the Truth shall make you free. Year after year she sees her children going, Not many, but not feeble,—from her gates, To join the stream of life’s incessant flowing, Which flows and will flow—and for no man waits. But they, her sons, can never be unready, If they have learned her lessons right, to be Faithful in each least thing, of purpose steady To know and serve the Truth which makes men free. Not of the great or ancient is her glory Yet fame she hath where'er her sons have fared. An honored name and no ignoble story Is hers; 'tis ours to guard them unimpaired. True sons of Hobart, let us live to serve her With heart, and head, and hand right loyally Keeping unchanged our faith, undimmed our fervor, Cleaving to Truth; the Truth that makes men free. Written by Prof. II. II. Yea mes. VOLUME LVI. 1917 I 79 When the stately trees of South Main Street have thrown their flowers of Springtime in high arches that reach from curb to curb— when Seneca Lake is calling with the voice of early summer drowsiness there comes to Hobart a visitor. Almost unknown is he among the undergraduate body and yet he has brought a message of joy and sadness to many a Hobart man. I do not know his name 1 only know that he comes to the college for a certain definite purpose; Ids work he does well—and then he departs. The coming freshmen look at him with wonder; the underclass- men regard him with idle curiosity, but the Seniors watch him at his work with heavy hearts. The Man Who Carves The Names lie tells the names of the men to whom Hobart is become, in very truth, the Alma Mater. He gives them the final degrees and carves their last impression into Hobart life. And with the names of each departing class, he adds the word of which only the grave old Senior can tell the real significance. Till! MAN WHO CARVES THE NAMES M®w F®f S®m© Ftfflffl VOLUME LV I.

(Durf, Grim Death, Hilly and Crab are seated around a table on I 82 THE ECHO OF THE SENECA which are a pack of cards, poker chips and other accessories. Durf is next to the fireplace which is sprinkled with sawdust for the occasion.) Durf: Well, ventlemen, J am glad to see you all here this evening. Hilly: I fail to see why you call this evening. It is long past my bedtime. I had almost to resort to deception to get out to-night. Crab: Let’s begin. I am quite anxious to see how the game goes. Di re: Every time you lose you take off an article of clothing and f irfeit your 1 et. Grim Death: That is quite simple but isn’t it rather..er. unseemly? Dlrf: ()h no, it is done in the best circles. (Durf shuffles.) Hilly (to Durf): Is it cut? Durf: No, but here is something that is. (Reaches in hip pocket). Have some? Chorus: No thank you! Durf: Well, I have got something you will like. (Small Niagara hits the fireplace). Oh Jan, bring in the refreshments. Jan (entering with case of pop): Shoor an' it's an awful time I'Ve been havin' to haul this stuff up here. Some av them dam Tetes was goin’ by an' wantin' to know who’s havin' the pahrty. You jist bet I told them to go an’ mind their own business. (Pours full glasses for all.) Crab: Oh aren't we the devils! (Drains his glass.) Hilly: How Bachanalian! (The game begins. Durf is apparently a shark and wins con- sistently. The others begin to become lighter clad.) Grim Death (nervously): I think we had better call the game off for to-night. It is getting late and. . . Hilly: Yes, yes. Some other time perhaps. Durf: Oh, come on, be sports. Just when my system gets in good working order some one wants to quit. Crab: Well, then, say we play till three o'clock. How will that be? (Noise of general assent and game progresses.) Hilly (with his knees audibly knocking toegther): Just as I thought, I lost again. What shall I do, what shall I do! VOLUME L V 1 , 1917 183 Durf: Take off something else, of course. Hilly (wildly): ( h, horrors! How can I! Jan (soothingly): Nivir mind, Mr. Hilly, you won’t have to many more times. (Exit.) Scene j: Time: 3:00 A.M. (Durf is apparently the victor. The others look very woebegone and tired. A rushing of feet up the stairs is heard and Jan rushes in) Jan: Hurry, hurry, gintlemin. The prisidint is wise to the little game and he’s coming and nothin’ but the divil himsilf can shtop him. (All hurry abut trying to find their clothes and are so engaged when Proxy enters.

The Car . . . you know It costs money for gasoline and Prkxy: Enuf, my good friend, 1 sympathise with you. The students shall subscribe to a fund for the establishment of Ornythor- hyncus in Central New York and you shall collect the money. Durf: How can I ever repay you! Prexy: By keeping quiet about our last trip to the Trustees meeting. (To Crab) I am surprised at you. Crab: I am punished enuf already. I’ve lost all the Christian Endeavor money I had in charge. Oh, what shall I do! Prexy: I'll tell you this much. Never again may you charge the students three cuts for Sunday evening chapel absence. Two is the limit. (To Hilly) And you, whom I considered above such unclassical pastime, you are to attend the movies only twice a week. Hii.i.y (sotto voce): Oh, h. h. h, have a heart! (A sneeze is heard coming from under the bed.) Prexy: What is that? (Grim Death appears.) Et tu! Grim Death: Spare me, spare me! 1 have lost all the Athletic- Association money and the H” Club funds as well. Oh, won’t the boys be sore! Prexy; I charge you to attend every college dance from now on and to dance all the time at them.

'TwOiild even cause Prof. Turk to smile. (But, reader, look in Muiry’s heart. He kids the profs with childlike guile. For not a man in old Hobart can say he ever saw Turk smile.) “You've taken seven extra cuts and for each one you've got to pay says William Pitt, “But me no buts, 1 need the money right away. Then Willie Junior answers straight, “Those cuts I had to take, 1 fear. I studied Sunday night so late and Monday morn my head felt queer. And Durf lie jings the jingling keys, and shifts his cud the other way, and smiles at Willie’s same old wheeze, “Well, just this once you need not pay. Then Willie thinks, 'Just see my pull.

(The faculty must not take offense at this introductory statement.) Not only are we situated by unnatural conditions near the finest Home for Freaks in existence. (And I refer not to the agricultural experiment station but to a young ladies’ seminary located in the near vicinity. Nota Bene: All reference to any illusion of a nearby college is emitted from this book,) but we have also appropriated in recent years many select specimens from Keuka. (This was not a high school as many later editions would have us believe and although a small college it had a collection of freaks absolutely unsurpassed in the modem world.) We also have the class of 1920 which brought to Hobart, over thirty new and unsoiled specimens from both the animal and vegi- table kingdoms. We have many chickens on the nearby campi and in this same VOLUME LVI, 19 17 connection f might mention—(this part of the speech was censored in pursuance of the above mentioned editorial policy regarding nearby institutions.) But let me call your attention to Mr. Lawton's Bull. This Bull has been compared to Tennyson's Brook For men may come and men may go But I go on for ever. (Great applause.) We also are noted for having Chuckle's Horse. This is the best horse that money can buy. It can trot, gallop or canter with won- drous celerity. It is always ready to go. (Prolonged applause and cat calls from The Class That Flunked). Far be it from me in a simple exposition of this kind to call your attention to Durf's Ford. This little animal is guaranteed to not stand without tying. ( Appreciation manifested by Artie.) And sometimes the way this college is run gets Prof. William’s Goat.—Good Night. (The following poem was taken from The Echo of 1901. It has been changed only to make it understandable to the present genera- tion. At the time this poem was written Prof. Boswell was an under- graduate at Hobart and was known as Brownie. His favorite drink was ginger ale and his favorite pastime was bycicle riding.) P©@m During Psych class Bossy dreams of his lady fair, As he sits head down and heels in air. Professor tries a little interest to infuse But no such thoughts Bossy's dreams confuse. “This is important—Look here—say But all that Bossie can think of is May.

It is strongly anamatapoetie (The Freshman on the rear seat trembles at the sound of this awful word.) and has been influenced by the corruption of the South Sea Islanders. These barbarous peoples left the m” out of the word ishkeworry. At this point the missing digammer was inserted into the word and we have the form thus: $% ) ($'■■ It was changed totally by the coming of the anglejutes and so by crossing out 15 of the above letters and sub- stituting to suit the taste, we get the word helluvamess. Now. Gentlemen, the most infinitesimal mind containing the most elementary and superficial knowledge of Greek should know this explanation before it ever sees the word. The man who hasn’t mastered this essential element doesn’t know Greek at all. (Business of cracking knees together under the. desk and marking several “F's” on surrounding papers.) I shall hold you on the next quiz for the topographical history of this word and every other word in the English language. (Clock strikes the hour for dismissal.)

Thanks are also due to Mrs. B. M. McMannis for the series of drawings that she has done for us and to Mrs. F. J. Moffitt for her work on the art department. H. H.
