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

Text from Pages 1 - 248 of the 1927 volume:

Foreword THE ECHO is, like all college yearbooks, a collection of more or less valuable data, the record of the year's activitiesa glori- fied journal. And it is our opinion that the most important of the features of the book is, and should be. the photography. In this the destruc- tion of Mr. Tuttle's studio by (ire, and the weather—(they say, do they not, that this win- ter gave Geneva the worst weather it has ever seen) have seriously handicapped us. Let these few words serve as an explana- tion and as an introduction to the 1927 Echo of the Seneca which now lies open before you. -—The Board of Editors. Windsor Arnold Hosmer, A.B., M.B.A. 4 To WINDSOR ARNOLD HOSMER A.B., M.B.A., who has pursued his special branch of knowledge with diligence and success, who has gained the respect of his students as a professor, and who has won their admiration as a man. this sixty-fourth volume of the ECHO is dedicated. 5 Frontispiece, By Reginald F.

A. A. The translation of this weird and obfuscatious emblem of the past is, “The Amalgamated Association for the Altruistic Aspersions of Altruistic Asiatics.” Basing his conclusions on this masterpiece, the historian of the immortal class of 192b (A. D.) would go as far as to say that, at least, 102.8 out of 1,379,401 persons will read this history through. And the historian assumes that the reader will enjoy it. The reasons for this modest assumption are: Because the class of 1926 was the ioist to enter Hobart. Because it was the largest class to enter and will be the largest to graduate Because there are more candidates for I BK than ever before. And conversely, because there are more KB$ men in the class of 1926. Because we graduate in the year which is the 150th Anniversary of the Decla- ration of Independence. Because Captain Kidd and Benedict Arnold never did join the class of 192b. Because in our Freshman Year we successfully defended the Banner in the last Banner Scrap at Hobart. Because in our Sophomore Year we gallantly won the flour scrap. Because in our Junior Year we survived against heavy odds a total eclipse and an earthquake. Because in our Senior Year we proudly made way for the time when each and every one of us should revolutionize each and every industry that we went into. Because none of our members were present at the Council of Trent nor were any of us implicated in the conspiracy of Aaron Burr. Because we were the first to set the style of wearing blazers. But mostly because the modest historian has the most unusual and signal honor of being the 100th man to register in Hobart’s Centennial Year. For these and many millions of other reasons (which cannot be enumerated here because the Echo is not for the purpose of furnishing a cover for our Class History), we proudly, but modestly, admit that the Class of 192b has never yet been surpassed, and, by the latest astronomical advices, it will never be eclipsed except in the year 402b,—provided, of course, that it doesn't rain. —Historian 43 TO L'KHD' mmift N EC A i Seniors Willard Myron Allen, Scientific, Lambda Pi, Macedon, N.

We witness the eternal flux of things, yet as we come back to play the role of historian we find our attitude toward it unchanged. The years have lent no confidence to our task and we approach the matter sideways, falteringly, as we might a strange and ferocious-looking horse. So has our class, in essence, remained unchanged. We continue to come away with our honors. If our progression has not been phenom- enal, there has been no retrogression. Last year we were a statistician. This year we are inclined to be a philosopher. At the moment we feel like penning neat aphorisms. Unfortunately we are not neat and not aphoristically fertile. Anyway our mental mid-wife is out for lunch, so what’s the use? We sit and ponder that necessarily lacking divine omniscence our view of history must be somewhat lopsided. No matter how we twist and turn the thing around there is always the inescapable human element. An over-done egg may change the map of Europe. Nevertheless, swamped in the midst of data, we can be sure of one thing. The years roll on. It’s a way they have of doing. —Historian (?) 57 GEORGE LYNN ALKINBURG, Scientific, XX, Canajoharie, N. Y.

There are only two races of men; those who are unaware of their conceit, and those are conscious of, and glory in, their egoism. We care for only the latter sort and find Cap a very charm- ing fellow, indeed. Careless, mocking, forceful—so does wisdom ivish us. Cap 90 !

Like the stranger who strolls into a saloon somewhere out in the arid plains, wins the favor of all with his cleverness, and then settles calmly in a corner to puff a cigarette and scrutinize the crowd; a man of mystery, a true product of those lands beyond the sun where the great Pacific broods. Just so Bill has come to prove his worth in our college life (both night and day) and with a happy cynicism he has now settled nonchalantly by, revealing glimpses of a personality of unfathomable depths. “He laughl us Little; but our soul Had felt him like the thunder's roll.

And this should happen easily to one with his magnetic person- ality!

But it was soon found that those members who did return had lost none of the vigor and earnestness which characterized them when they were humble and obedient fresh- men. The first task which awaits a Sophomore Class is to take some of the freshness out of the new class. We tried hard to do this in the opening scraps, facing, as we did, opponents who outnumbered us considerably. The Soph Banquet is just one other example of the capabilities of the class. It was a success in every respect. Far from disturbing us, the Freshmen even produced one of their number, who sang and danced to the delight of all. The Soph Hop went over with a bang, and proved to be one of the outstanding social events of the year. In short, we have tried, and succeeded in no small measure in doing our part towards the improvement of our Alma Mater. We shall become upperclassmen with the same ideal in mind, the ideal of bringing forth our very best for Hobart. —Historian i iS FRE HMEN I ? c r Vf FJ ) H§3 s !S T ' f r H 1 IQ Freshman Class TO EsSaU SWIM ELCA i Freshman Class Officers George Ehni Moor........................

It is the old, old story of boys coming and men going, which probably means so little in such a great world. But here we find ourselves directly concerned; here we find a new' exper- ience beginning for ourselves—our college life in which we shall live and learn for four short years. And then we buxom, blithe, and debonair Freshmen will find ourselves sagacious Seniors ready to strike out towards that fame and fortune w'hich so few' of us may realize,—and the old, old story will have begun anew for others. But w'hat to-morrow may bring little concerns us here. Here we came a hun- dred strong to do our best for Hobart and ourselves We do not propose that we were unusual, though after reading other histories we realize that this is, perhaps, the most modest thing that an historian has ever said of his class. We are young, and our story is a short and rather unstirring one. We feel justified, though, in saying that we have not been backward in activities, for from our class came six of the Varsity football team and four of the basketball team. Nor were all our en- deavors in the way of athletics; we conquered the Sophomores both in the organized and the unorganized rushes—but we desist. . £ • I We came to learn, and to learn to love Hobart, and to make it a better college if we possibly could. If we succeed, we shall be remembered someday, and that will be our greatest remuneration. —Historian 124 125 TO LTOfflD OFTOETO E H EC A ■, President......... Faculty Members. . .

Chittick The purpose of the Forum is twofold, to arouse interest in the important questions of the day and to promote the practice of public speaking. As the most effective organization for the development and expression of student opinion, it enhances in its members the qualities of thoughtful leadership which it is the chief object of college life to produce. At the same time, it develops skill and ease in the important art of public speaking. It was the Forum which organized the first debate team, and though debate is now a recognized minor activity, it still looks to the Forum for its most active support.

The team met Swarthmore in a no decision debate of the English style and was defeated by Buffalo in a regular debate. 132 !

The club has been fortunate in procuring visiting speakers for most of these meetings. During the past year, the organization has been busy promoting the Orange Key Society. This is a society for the purpose of entertainment of guests of the college. This, with the publication of the Frosh Bible,” or H-Book, is amongst the most important of the club's activities.

The club grew rapidly from a small nucleus into a good sized club. Meetings are held twice a month at which times addresses are made by members of the club or the faculty. Following the presentation of these papers the entire membership participates in round table discussion of the subject. 34 1 TO L'KHD hlKJA Medbery Mummers President........... Vice-President......

The honor signifies, above all else, recognition of leader- ship,—leadership, not only in a special field of endeavor, but in every branch of activity. Its members embody the true Hobart spirit. In short, they are the men who have displayed, throughout their college life, general capability, good fellow- ship, and sincere college spirit. 139 ■ TO L'KHD mHETOEIM K A; Chimera This is an honorary society of the Junior Class whose members have been chosen because they have actively participated in college activities.

The squad found Coaches Paul and Covert supervising the preparation for the opening game with N. Y. U. The pros- pects looked good and a successful season seemed assured. April 11: Playing slow but clean lacrosse the Varsity defeated N. Y. U., 4-2. The Varsity attack was pitifully weak. April 18: Hobart defeated the Syracuse Lacrosse Club, 11 -1, The attack was more coordinated, and the entire team showed much improvement over the play of a week ago. The team now left on its eastern trip and played great lacrosse while away. The game at Yale was one of the best games one could wish to see. April 22: Hobart lost its first game of the season to West Point, 3-0. The Varsity put up a great fight against its heavy opponents, but the checking of the Army team was too much for the light Hobart attack. April 24: Displaying superior lacrosse at all times, with a whirlwind attack functioning perfectly, and a hard-checking defense that gave the impression of great reserve strength, the Varsity defeated Yale at New Haven, 5-3. The Yale team was regarded as the best that ever represented her and our victory is, there- fore, all the more remarkable. April 25: Hobart won its second game of the trip defeating Princeton, 5-2. Princeton had expected an easy game. They were both surprised and disappointed in one of the roughest games in which a Hobart team has ever participated 1 4 th L'Khd Wm¥m Im, May 2: Hobart won over the Onondaga Indians, 5-3, in a fast game which was featured by clever stick-handling. Chapman scored four of the five goals and played a marvelous field game. This was the first time that we had defeated the Indians in a number of years. May 9: The Varsity won its second league game of the year by defeating Cor- nell, 7-4. The visiting Sub-Freshmen were treated to a hard-fought interesting game for Hobart was anxious to avenge and Cornell to repeat the Ithaca team’s victory of last year. Cornell scored first but it was not very long before we had a substantial lead. May 13: Hobart defeated Colgate io-o in its final obstacle before the Cham- pionship game with Syracuse. Hobart's powerful attack was tossing in the scores at will while the defense allowed only a few. scattered shots at goal. May 23: Before one of the largest crowds ever assembled for a Hobart lacrosse game, the University of Syracuse twelve defeated Hobart. 7-4, and maintained the championship of the Northern Division of the Intercollegiate League. It was either team's game. Syracuse led. 4-3, at half-time. The greater experience of the Syracuse team told in the second half and they scored three goals to our one. The play ing of Baldwin and Beggs featured this game. The work of Captain Thibodeau. Dailey. Chapman, Scofield and Loghry was the outstanding feature of one of Hobart's great seasons in lacrosse. And, finally, not enough credit can be given to Coaches Covert and Paul for their labors in turning out this splendid team. Editor's Note In both the Lacrosse and Football Summaries the reader will be surprised to notice the small amount of credit given to Paul Vogt. Do not, however, allow this modesty on the part of the Athletics Editor of the 1927 Echo to cause you to overlook the fact that Paul is one of the most valuable men on the Lacrosse team, and the roving center, whirlwind, deus ex macltina. and captain-elect of the 1926 football Varsity. t75 THt.KHDOF-M' Et lKA U.

Y. ln December, 1925 this League was disbanded upon the formation of the U. S. Lacrosse Asso- ciation. The reasons for this were: first, the fact that in 1924 Harvard had withdrawn from the League leaving a vacancy in the Northern Division, and that in 1925 Yale was threatening to withdraw; secondly, many more colleges were beginning to play lacrosse and. inasmuch as it was impossible for most to meet the requirements of the League, it was thought unfair that jurisdiction should remain in the hands of a few. The result is the Association which has aban- doned geographical divisions and championship games, is open to all colleges, and provides for the selection of a mythical Championship Team.

THKfflO ®PFHKfENKA. Varsity CANDIDATES reported on the campus almost three weeks before the formal opening of college. Deac proceeded to build his team from last year's veterans and the new men entering in the Freshman Class. Dailey, who played an end position last year, Thibodeau, back, Baldwin, guard, Orr, guard, Fay, end, did not answer roll call, having either graduated, or been put on Pro.” Baldwin was injured in an automobile accident in the summer and was in no con- dition to play. Training began in earnest so that a respectable showing might be made against the big Orange team in Syracuse. After three weeks of practice, the following lineup faced Syracuse: Smith, Barna. Whipple, ends; Trapnell, Scofield, tackles; Moor, Polanski, guards; Vogt, center; Chapman (Capt.), quarterback, Kiley, Barrett, Budd, backs. Hobart put up a good fight and was defeated, 31-0. The following week Hobart played Dartmouth at Hanover and was defeated, 34-0. Oberlander's great work in the first half was too much for our light, inex- perienced team. Yet in the second half, Hobart's play is one of the outstanding features in the football history of the college. They played Dartmouth on virtually even terms during this period. Dartmouth scored once while a Hobart end missed a pass across the Dartmouth goal line by inches. 180 On the ioth of October, Hobart handed Alfred a trimming to the tune of 36-0. Barna at end began to show his first signs of ability in this game. The next week Hobart defeated Clarkson b-o on a field deep with mud and water. Chapman, Kiley and Barna played well for Hobart. Then came the Niagara game, a game which meant the small college champion- ship of New York State The game was hardfought throughout, the teams being much more closely matched than the score would indicate. The contest was marred by a slight drizzle which began about two o'clock and developed into a heavy downpour which lasted most of the game. It was a game of breaks and Niagara had them, beating us, 19-7. flecker played a great game for Niagara. Our team played well but did not have the punch at the psychological moment. October 31, the Varsity journeyed to Canton where they met St. Lawrence. W e lost our second straight game due to the fact that the spirit was lacking. We made tw ice the number of first downs that our opponents did and were within scoring very often However, St. Lawrence had four chances to score and were stopped by the great defense of tne Hobart line. Chapman and Budd played a good game for the Varsity. The 7th of November will go down in Hobart's football history as one of the great games, when a characteristic Hobart fighting team did what seemed to be impossible. We defeated Union's wonder team in one of those exhibitions of football witnessed probably once in five years even in the ranks of big college teams. Hobart's superiority is indicated by the fact that Hobart made 26 first downs to Union's 8. Deac's plays were working to perfection: the assortment was there, and Chapman was using them, outguessing his opponents at every stage of the game. The game was remarkable in three ways, it gave the Varsity the courage needed to carry it through Rochester, it turned a disappointing season into a highly successful one, and it satisfied the alumni, Dr. Bartlett, and Deac ’ Chapman THL'tGHDO-WE-' kMKA. played the greatest game of his career at Union, Barna came into his own, dis- playing amazing ability as a ball carrier, passer and catcher. His play was remark- able, and Budd’s line-crashing stamped him as a leader in the art. Trapnell, Kiley, Whipple, Yarington, Moor, Scofield, and Barrett all played great games. Finally, a word must be said about Polanski who was filling Vogt's shoes at center In a new position, on a wet field he gave a wonderful exhibition of center play The next game was with Buffalo and we won 13-0. The mud was ankle deep and the game was decidedly slow. Buffalo did not threaten the Hobart goal once. Hobart outplayed Buffalo more than the score indicates but fumbling kept it down On Thanksgiving Day we made it three straight over Rochester. During the two weeks preceding, the press and the student body told how badly we would beat them. Nothing less than a 50-0 score would be accepted. The team finally began to believe it, and, try as he would, Deac could not get it out of their heads. We beat them 17-6. Lorenz had drilled his team on the defense. He had left his offense alone—perhaps if he had had one it might have beaten us. Rochester showed a fighting spirit and they played a great game. So did our team. The whole game was a battle,—it was a typical Hobart-Rochester game. Both teams were fighting every minute. Rochester could not stop our straight football and Chap- man and Ulrich charged through for touchdowns while Chapman also kicked a pretty drop-kick. Chapman, Budd, Kiley, Trapnell, Ulrich, and Barna proved to be a powerful combination in advancing the ball The work of Captain Chapman, Trapnell, Budd, Barna, and Kiley featured in the play of the entire season. Moor was the most consistent player on the team, never flashy, but always steady. Whipple, Barrett, Ulrich, Polanski, Scofield, Yarington, also played a good game at their respective positions. i8i u K.ILEY VARSITY VERTEBRAE 183 TH L'KHD ef-M' EN KA i Frosh Football Team Frosh Football Summary UNDER Coach Huhbs, Elobart's first Freshman Football Team was organized. Great credit must be given to Newt” for his interest in the work for next year they will undoubtedly be of great assistance in molding the Varsity. The team was made up of the following men: Fryer, Smith, Motto, and Boyd (Cap't), ends; Pringle, Harmon, Pierce, and Vanderhoof, tackles; Hay, Knapp, Graupner, guards; Van Liew, center; Sales, Tennant, Deubert, and Simkin, backs. They played such teams as Watertown High, Oswego Normal, Mynderse Academy and the University of Rochester Freshmen. The Rochester game was their objective and on a wet field they fought Rochester to a 6-6 tie. The game was played on the campus in order that Boswell Field might be saved for the Varsity game. After the final whistle, each team was allowed a try for goal after touch- down. Hobart tried first and missed; interest was high as Rochester tried, but they also missed and the game remained unsettled. i8y { Basketball Team 1 th y.law epw Mm is Basketball Season 1926 1925-26 Donald J.

Basketball Summary PRACTICE began immediately after Thanksgiving under the supervision of Coach Welch. Captain Bremner, Kiley, and Trapnell were left from last year. Gray and Engert were also on hand, and together with Barrett, Barna, Deu- bert. and Leader, one of Hobart's best basketball teams was produced. With only three days practice, they started out on a four-day trip. Syracuse beat them 34 10, but the next night they began to show indications of their strength, holding Col- gate to a two-point victory, The next day the Varsity won its first game over Hamilton. From there they jumped to Rochester. Rochester was set for a prac- tice game, but Hobart had brought a real team, and the U. of R. once more bowed to Hobart. We defeated them by ten points—the first time that Hobart has ever defeated Rochester in basketball on their home court. At this time overconfidence crept in and the result was a loss in a close game to Alfred. Then came Cornell, confident. We defeated them 19-18 and for the first time Hobart moved amongst the elite in basketball. Christmas holidays interrupted practice and the team was broken up. Niagara and Buffalo both de- feated the Varsity shortly afterwards Midyears followed. Barrett, Barna, and Kiley were lost through ineligibility, but Chapman reported for practice and, with Bremner, Trapnell, Deubert, and Leader, formed a fighting team that continued to win Hamilton, Clarkson and R. S, O. were defeated; Colgate won again by a few points, while Rochester and Buffalo defeated us by about ten points; a remark- able showing when conditions are considered. “Deac and the squad are certainly to be congratulated on their fight and perseverance for in the midst of the recon- struction of the team Bremner went to the hospital for an operation and, the morn- ing of the Rochester game, Leader was stricken w ith pneumonia. The work of Kiley, Deubert, Barrett, and Chapman featured. Barrett's play against Dake in the Cornell game was wonderful, while Kiley's defensive work and Deubert’s scoring ability also helped. Chapman seemed to be the life of the team after the breakup and too much credit cannot be given him. Mgr. Morris Fryer Chase Clark Coach Kraus Duffy Garratt Cook (Capt.) Ratcliffe Teresi Frosh Basketball Team Summary I he first assignment of the Freshman Coach. 'E3abc“ Kraus, was to build a Freshman Basket- ball team. He succeeded in producing a splendid team. Next year they will certainly help to make it a banner basketball year for Hobart. They had a good schedule and did well. They defeated the U. of R. Frosh which is enough to make the season a success. Cook (Cap t), and Garratt proved an especially clever pair of forwards; Chase at center had height and could get the tip; Duffy and Ratcliffe were excellent guards, both being fast shots as well as fine defensive players. Fryer. Teresi, Simpkin, Clark and Barnes formed reserves who were almost as good as the Varsity. With a little more training and experience the entire squad ought to become valuable players and great aids to the Varsity. Scores: Frosh 30, Young Eagles 18; Frosh 27. Sophs 5; Frosh 16. Cortland H.

A different attitude was taken towards the competition by the various teams. In- stead of desiring to win at any and all costs, the rivals played chiefly for the pleasure to be derived. Naturally there were many upsets and the most surprising came when the Kaps put the Sigma Chi team out of the running. The winners, Sigma Phi, played consistent and good basketball. They were undefeated and obtained possession of the Treman King Trophy for the following year. The standing of the teams at the close of the season was: Team Won Lost % Team Won Lost % Sigma Phi 0 1.000 Kappa Alpha 2 5 ,28b Theta Delta Chi 5 1 .833 Neutrals 1 5 .167 Sigma Chi 5 2 .714 Sigma Pi Kappa 1 5 .167 Lambda Pi 4 3 .571 Delta Psi Omega 1 6 .143 Phi Phi Delta 4 4 .500 THL'K® ef-M' EMKA I Cross Country Squad Cross Country, Season of 1925 THE CROSS Country Team held their first meeting the 21st of September, under the supervision of Coach T. T. Odell. A squad of 20 men, including Captain Wager, Sides, Griffiths, and Meyers from last year's team were on hand. On Saturday October 3rd, the first meet was lost to Colgate by the score 40- 15. Meyers, Hobart's best man, sprained his ankle and was compelled to drop out. The next meet was with Alfred at Alfred. The race was run in a sea of mud. Alfred won but showed fine sportsmanship in giving Meyers, who had taken a wrong turn, the second place. On Saturday, October 31st, Hobart defeated Hamilton 23-32. The course was very muddy but, in spite of it, they made splendid time. Meyers finished first. This meet was the last of the season Meyers and Fingar were Hobart's best men and at all times ran a fast, heady race. Meyers has been elected tocap- tain the 192b team. 191 TH L-tffiD' ef-M' EM ECA Tennis Association 1925 Joseph W. French, '27 Captain 1926 Joseph W.

Ttt L'KHD ObTOVEN EC A i Legend, of Seneca Lake, showing the origin of the name, The Echo of the Seneca. ANY HISTORY of Geneva would be incomplete without the legend of the “Wandering Jew written by Professor Vail of Hobart College: In the now distant past, the romantic lakes, the fertile valleys, and the beautiful rolling hills of western New York were the homes of the renowned Six Nations, a confederation that was at once a bulwark to its friends and a terror to its enemies. On the eastern shore of Seneca lake, and around its foot up the western shore, dwelt the most warlike and the most dreaded of all these tribes, the Senecas. Throughout the confederation their braves were celebrated for their fine, manly stature, their splendidly developed physique, and their spirit in the chase and on the war-path Among these braves there was one, straight as an arrow; one whose regal form towered above all others, whose gay-plumed head was always seen foremost in battle, whose eagle eye and steady voice ever guided the fiercest contests to successful issue, the great Agayentah. Calm and dispassionate at the council-fire, prudent and cautious on the war-path, terrible and resistless in battle, kind, benevo- lent, and hospitable in peace, well beloved was Agayentah,—Agayentah! the power of the Six Nations! the idol of the Senecas! “One hot and sultry June day, some ten miles from Seneca Castle (Geneva), w'hither the trail of a huge black bear had led him, Agayentah was taking rest and shelter from an impending storm under a large tree on the high and overhanging bank. Alas for Agayentah! Amid a roaring of thunder and a hurricane of wind there came a death-mingled shaft of lightning that dealt both tree and warrior a fatal blow. The tempest hurled the two lifeless trunks of forest-tree and warrior down the embankment, forth into the water. They floated out upon its surface, amid the angry surging billows; and not until the storm had long passed, and the sun had set in a sea of blood, did the wave-tossed bodies of tree and warrior dis- appear. “The next morning, while as yet Agayentah s devoted squaw and family and the Seneca braves were filling the land with lamentations and cries of mourning, there appeared on the surface of the waters something like the trunk of a huge tree standing erect, and protruding about two feet. For a long time it remained stationary, a monument to mark the spot where the noble aboriginal and the forest- tree, the primeval denizens of this lovely country of the lakes, had surrendered up 218 their magnificent heritage to the white man. But it was not to remain a stationary monument of the pathetic event which it commemorated. Upon the approach of another storm, amid the wailing of the wind and the moaning of the tempest, the 'Wandering Jew for such it has been called by the white man, quitted its post and began its ceaseless course of journeying. Up and down, up and down, and around and around the lake, to this day it goes, sometimes against the wind, some- times with the wind; sometimes disappearing for a period, and then reappearing and resuming its ceaseless march. It turns not from its course for anything, and woe to the mariner that does not keep a respectful distance! It is said that strange noises presage the advance of the 'Wandering Jew, and unto this day, during the quiet and death-like stillness that precedes an ap- proaching tempest, and at evening also, whenever the setting sun covers the waters with bloody tints, may be distinctly heard, as symbolic of the tragic event we have related, those wonderful sounds familiarly known as the 'Lake Guns’ of the Seneca. In the unwritten book of Indian tradition the significance of these ‘Lake Guns' is interpreted, and their connection with Agayentah’s death revealed; and it is historic that, to the latest day of their lives, when a thunder and lightning storm was abroad and the 'Wandering Jew' was on the march, the Indian braves of the Senecas believed that Agayentah's spirit was in arms and on the war-path, and that the ‘Lake Guns' were but the Echoes of his powerful voice marshaling his hosts to battle. And thus on the fair bosom of the silver Seneca the ‘Wandering Jew’ for- ever keeps his troublous march, and the 'Lake Guns' forever sound, preserving to the generations as they succeed each other the memory of the sad fate of Agay- entah. Do not think that the above is but the product of an inventive imagination. There are those still living that have seen the “Wandering Jew, and upon any calm, quiet evening after a hot summer’s day, the “Lake Guns may be heard either around Dresden Bay or in the neighborhood of Lodi Landing. The Guns have often been heard in other places, indeed, but nowhere so frequently as in the two spots mentioned. The sound of these Guns is such as we might expect were the contents of a large gasometer suddenly liberated five hundred feet beneath the surface, and the whole volume of gas left to pass instantaneously through the superincumbent mass of waters. According to the mythology of the ancient Senecas, the body of the unburied Agayentah (the white man's Wandering Jew ) appears and the Lake Guns are heard each year; and so it will be as long as the red man inhabits any portion of this continent. 219 THg PRESIDENTS HOUSE .

Ross, ’28, and William E. Potter, '28 for the valuable assistance given to the Art Editor, To Walter R. Taylor, C. Herbert Holt, and Stanley Shepard, Jr, all mem- bers of '27, who, though not members of the Echo Board, willingly helped in the compilation of the volume. And, finally, to Mr. G. M.

Also, we trust that the personal items will not be misinterpreted for they are, for the most part, attempts to be entertaining. A last item which should appear here is the fact that, because of an unfortunate accident, it was necessary to rewrite all of the copy under Athletics. As a result, though the Athletic Editor made the most strenuous efforts to rewrite the lost material as quickly as possible, the publication of the 1927 Echo has been somewhat delayed. —The Board of Editors. 224 s 1 In the following pages will be found the announce- ments ot many reliaDIe merchants who have con- tributed materially to the success ot this volume.
