Text from Pages 1 - 170 of the 1937 volume:

To MURRAY BARTLETT, lead- er, teacher, and friend, the retir- ing president of Hobart College, we, the Class of 1937, respectfully dedicate this the seventy-fourth volume of the Echo of the Sen- eca. For his seventeen years of un- swerving devotion to the task of building for true citizenship on the basis of education aimed not merely at knowledge but at under- standing, Hobart will ever be grateful. FOREWORD Purpose of the Echo since its es- tablishment in 1858 has been to present a lasting record of under- graduate life during the college year. With simplicity and ac- curacy its aims, if this volume can remain in years to come a means by which old friendships may be recalled and old interests revivi- fied, it will have achieved its purpose.

It is presided over by the president of the college and is made up of representatives of faculty, students, and alumni, elected annually. The student representation is composed of the heads of the seven fraternities and one man elected by the neutral body; this group choses the faculty and alumni representatives. The Board has jurisdiction over most campus activ- ities, and is the final body for approving officers elected by student organizations. No captain or varsity manager takes office, nor does any athlete receive his letter or sweater at the end of the season, until after such status or award has been approved bv the Board of Control.

Shiplcr, Jr. Secretary SENIOR CLASS HISTORY I took my grandson on my lap and made only minimum objections when he playfully poked his finger in my eye and said he had a present for me. 1 expected a frog or a dead fish, but the gift proved to be only a letter the postman had left. Hobart Alumni Association” was printed on the back of the envelope. What is Hobart, you old coot?” asked my grandson ( old coot was a term of affection that all my descendants used). “Hobart, said I, is an institution of higher learning situated at Geneva, New York. Now it is one of the large and wealthy; when I was there, however, it was very small but select. A gleam came to my eye as I told of the class of '36, a class of god- like men, and their unsurpassed records. Then I recollected football games on bright fall after- noons, the moonlit campus on brittle winter nights, spring week-ends with a softer moon rising over the lake. 26 These were pleasant recollections of the happiest days of my life, but here my thoughts were interrupted by my grandson as he again poked me in the eve and squirmed with impatience. 'That only explains part of it, you old fossil, said he, now what are alumni? Well, child, I said, ‘Tve been one for fifty odd years and I'm not yet sure just what they are. Let's look it up. We found that both Webster’s and Funk and Wagnall’s dictionaries completely ignored the word. Perhaps these gentlemen never went to college, we thought, and tried another reference. This went on for some time, however, with no results. Finally, in the New English Dictionary, we found that an alumnus was the nursling or pupil of any school, university, or other seat of learning . At seventy-five I did not care to be called a nursling and I no longer fancied myself or my classmaces of fifty years ago pupils of Hobart. Yet that was what the dictionary said. Bv this time ray grandson and the New English Dictionary had quite exhausted my patience; so when the child began Old soak, what..........? that was enough. If you do not know what an association is, I said, for goodness sake find out but stop bothering me. He went away muttering something about having a nursling for a grandfather and left me to dream of the good old days at Hobart.

Hogc Treasurer JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY Like every other class at Hobart of the past, the present, and the future, the class of '37 has its fair share of athletes, scholars, spooks. Like every other class, it has its share of campus leaders and men in all activities. It is not outstanding or distinguished; it is exactly one fourth of the college. Yet, in so far as a group of men who happened to enter college at the same time can be charac- terized, our class has certain distinguishing traits. We are apparently more disorganized than other classes, counting ourselves lucky when we find a forty-percent turn-out at class meetings. We are noted for a general apathy toward anything but selfish interests, our scientific students burying themselves in the laboratories, our athletes caring for nothing but their sports, and some of our members hardly being seen on the campus for weeks at a time. There is in the class, however, a certain spirit, not of cooperation, not “class spirit”, but a remarkable feel- 36 ing of friendship. We are a small class and we have come to know each other well. If we have one outstanding characteristic, it is that of mutual understanding and friendship. In one way the class of '37 has an advantage over the classes of the past few years. We entered college in the depths of economic depression a good time to he in college. At the moment it looks as though the financial condition of the country, Congress to the contrary notwith- standing, is on the upgrade, and we, with one more year, will go out into a world of new hope. Perhaps fewer of us will join the ranks of the unemployed. The whole story is yet to be told. The history of the class of '37 is just beginning.

Wright, Jr. Jackson H. Bowling Secretary Vice-President John R. Potter H istorian David C. Narra way President Albert Broadhurst, Jr. Treasurer SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY Oh, petty faults! How could you threaten to destroy the affections and friendship that two years of college life create? How, after two years, can we still lack the mutual understanding that would bind our distinguished class in mutual benevolence? Perhaps it is expecting too much from sophomores to understand the power of intellectual beauty—but we must. We cannot go into our junior year with a spirit impairing the solidarity of our class. We must overcome the little meaningless misunderstandings that arise from time to time if we are to bring our class to the foremost position in the history of Hobart that it deserves. The class of 1938 was divided at one time into athletes and students. At present such is not the case; for 66 rhe athlete has won respect in his classes, while the student has distinguished himself in the intramural sports. This spirit has washed away the schism which nearly ruined our class, while now misunderstanding seems crumbling it. Please, please, it is our plea that you allow no division to prevent the growing fellowship that the Class of 1938 can review with satis- faction in 1958. True, we are all individuals. There is hardly a characteristic alike in any of us, but if you took a composite picture of these individuals you would likely find the true spirit of our class: that of loyalty to Hobart, friendship and affection for our classmates.

Dickson Vice-President FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY Last September a new group of men joined Hobart's ranks. Men from all parts of the world and all walks of life. Men with a hazv idea of college and steeped in prep school memories. Men whose sense of traditions was slight but whose spirit was great and who had a desire to succeed. Now we have completed our initial year at Hobart and we feel that we have at- tained a great deal. Above all we have learned what it means to be true sons of Hobart. We have only just begun to realize fully the depth and value of the honor that is Hobart’s. The first week of our college life was marked by numerous victories over the sophomore class, both in hazing on the streets of the city and in the formal scraps held on the campus. We were given a warm reception, both spiritually and bodily, by the seniors who welcome us to Ho- bart in the traditional manner. Since that time our class has shown its splendid initiative and spirit of cooperation in all ac- tivities. With but a few sad exceptions, who perhaps climbed the hill once too often, our 72 scholastic standing has been high. On the gridiron we boasted a powerful, undefeated foot- ball machine. The basketball team had a highly successful season. Other extra-curricular ac- tivities have felt our influence, including debate, glee club, publications, dramatics, and in- tramural sports. Need we say that the hill is deeply grateful to our numerous Casanovas? We have earned the respect of the entire college as a class whose activities are varied, whose sense of honor is high, and whose spirit is commendable. There are desirous goals to he reached and age-old traditions to be upheld, and there is no class at Hobart more worthy to bear the torch than we, the class of 1939. Historian Blick. Frcrk, Allen.

Delegates from all chapters of the society then in existence were present; these included four from Union, two from Hamilton, and one each from Williams and New York University. The charter members were the Rev. Francis Beverage, Charles C. Brown, Charles G. Brundige, Albert G. Heminway, John P. McGregor, and William H. Watson. The first Greek letter society to be represented at Hobart, the chapter has been in con- tinuous active existence since its conception although its active membership was reduced co a single student in 1853 because of the low condition of the college at that time. 81 KAPPA ALPHA BETA OF NEW YORK Fratres in I the J.

William Talmadge McDonald and Lawrence Sterne Stevens were initiated at Union College November 26, 1844 and then returned to organize the chapter here. In 1854 the chapter was forced to give up its charter but on June 16, 1879 was re- organized when seven Hobart men were initiated at Cornell. Since that time the chapter has enjoyed continuous existence. 83 THETA DELTA CHI O. M. Brown, '22 XI charge Fratres in Urbe J. E. Farwell, '00 E. J. Cook, '95 F. A. Herendeen, '86 Dr. J. B.

Colonel William Logie, a Hobart man, trans- ferred to Union in 1857 and was there initiated into Theta Delta Chi. Later in the same year he told his old friends in Hobart of the fraternity and suggested that they should organize and petition the Union charge. Accordingly, upon the affirma- tion of Union, Logie and another Union Theta Delt journeyed to Geneva to initiate Barclay, Brooks, Goodrich, Handerson, Moss, Roy, Rundle, Smith, and Yawger. Theta Delta Chi successfully passed the trying period of the Civil War and for a long time occupied a section of Medbery Hall, then moved to 711 South Main Street, and in 1922 occupied their present location at 738 South Main Street. 85 SIGMA CHI ALPHA ALPHA CHAPTER D.

Early in the year 1892, at the suggestion of Kemper with the help of a member of the Ithaca chapter, the petition was completed and was sent to the annual convention. That Fall the petition was granted and the new men were initiated. 87 PHI PHI DELTA Fratres in Urhe R. Engert, '27 J. G. Kettle, '04 E. H. Olmstead, 'II P. W. Vogt, '28 Fratres in Collegio Seniors E.

Lambda Pi, were in- itiated. The development of the group from its original founding as the Commons Club and its refounding as Lambda Pi in 1913 has shown such ever increasing strength that its incorporation as a chapter of a national fraternity this year was no surprise. Six years ago the Buffalo chapter became interested in the Buffalo Lambda Pi alumni and the fraternity at Hobart, suggesting that a petition be made to Kappa Sigma. Work since rhat time resulted in a visit of the national body's executive committee, filing of a petition, and final granting of a charter last year. 91 DELTA PSI OMEGA K. B.

The founders, all men of high scholarship and leaders in the neutral body, were William B. Cams, Harry S. Corby, Floyd B. Hill, Harrv H. Hobbs, William W. Mannass, George W. Pring, William P. Rupert, and Stanley G. White. Dr. Leonard Lawson was instru- mental in putting the fraternity on a firm footing in its infancy. Soon after the found- ing, Delta Psi Omega acquired a house at 340 Pulteney Street, and later moved to 509 South Main Street. In 1933 as a result of the financial depression, the fraternity was forced to give up its house, and has since maintained a Chapter Room and adjoin- ing quarters in Section C, Medbery Hall. 93 OCIETIES THE DRUIDS CHIMERA PHI BETA KAPPA PHI DELTA SIGMA EPSILON PI SIGMA KAPPA BETA PHI YOMIS SKULL AND DAGGER OWL CLUB SCALP AND BLADE ORANGE KEY K.

DONALD WHEDON The highest honor that a Hobart undergraduate can receive is election to the Druid Society, a group traditionally made up of no more than five and no less than three members of the senior class. They are chosen by the Druids of the preceding class as the most outstanding men on the campus from the standpoint of social, athletic and academic activities. The purpose of the Druids is three-fold. First, its members acquaint the incoming freshman with Hobart traditions, customs, and ideals. Secondly, they appoint the officers of the fresh- man class for the first semester when the new students are not well enough acquainted to make a choice of their own. Finally, they strive to preserve by their leadership the many worthy Hobart traditions. This was the second successive year that the Druids have added to their number during the college year, and the first time that two men have been thus honored. Emerson G. Spies, who was awarded a Rhodes scholarship before Christmas, and Sidney D. Nichols, three-letter man 96 THE DRUIDS SENIOR HONORARY SOCIETY SIDNEY D. NICHOLS EMERSON G. SPIES and captain of rhe basketball team, were selected in January, following a precedent set the year before when Irving A. McGrew, Jr., was elected posthumously, the award being the first ever made to a man of the same class as the Druids who elected him. The other Druids are James H. Curtin, Jr., of Rochester, G. Donald Whedon of Rochester, and Arthur D. Stein, Jr., of Waterbury, Conn. Curtin, a member of Phi Phi Delta, has been presi- dent of his class for two years, was captain of the football team, member of the basketball squad, member of Orange Key and Chimera. Whedon, a member of Theta Delta Chi, is Editor of the Hobart Herald, editor of the 1936 Echo of the Seneca, was manager of the basketball team and member of Chimera and Epsilon Pi Sigma. Stein, the third Druid, a member of Sigma Chi, is captain of the lacrosse team, mem- ber of the football squad.

The society is designed to foster not only debate, but oratory and public speaking in general and thus help to create the fine art of using the voice correctly. Formerly Hobart debaters were recognized locally' through Phi Delta Sigma, a local forensic society which became the nucleus of the new fra- ternity. Only two men were left in the chapter at the beginning of the present year, because of the in- roads made on the membership through graduation, bur with a fine nucleus of lower classmen doing work in debate, four men, including one junior and three sophomores, were initiated this spring, which not only assures a firm foundation upon which the chapter can grow and flourish, but also strengthen the debating squad. It is expected that the Hobart chapter will participate in the district conference in the spring, although the Echo has gone to press before plans for the trip were completed. Carrying out the program of intramural debate as created originally'by Phi Delta Sigma, Tau Kappa Alpha sponsored the second annual Arthur W. O'Brien Memorial Trophy last fall, in memory of Arthur O'Brien, who was killed in an auto accident two years ago. 100 EPSILON PI SIGMA HONORARY SCIENTIFIC SOCIETY Prof. R. H. Bullard Mr. A. T.

Babcock, Meehan, Harnish, Henry The 1935 football ream will be long remembered for definitely inaugurating a new era in Hobart gridiron history. The promising spark that flashed occasionally in 1934 blazed into a glorious life, as the team won five out of seven games to set down the best record since 1923- Playing a hard, smashing style of football, they made up in strength and courage what they lacked in experience, providing the necessary element for victory. Coach Speed Wilson, in his second season, had a difficult task in forming a winning team out of the large but relatively inexperienced squad which turned out. However, it is due to the size of the squad and ro their interest in the team that Speed was able to train and put on the field an outfit that fought every minute. They firmly reestablished Hobart as a power in college football, and, what is perhaps fully as important, their contagious spirit has uplifted the morale of the entire school The squad was composed largely of sophomores and juniors and included nine letter men Cullen, Curtin, Ferris, Stein, King, Avrault, Shepard, Nichols and Mulligan, who suffered an injury which kept him out a large part of the season. In addition to these veterans were ten men from the startling 1934 freshman team, Bowling, Wright, Miller, Rich, Narraway, Potter, Armstrong, Courage and the Babcock brothers, who presented a truly formidable array of potential linemen and backs. The opening game of the year, with Holbrook College, was a fitting preliminary to the 1935 season. Ignorant of its own power as well as that of its opponents, Hobart took no chances and applied full pressure with blasting power plays, with the result that Holbrook, weak in reserves, was literally battered to pieces. After pounding the Ohio hoys for thirty minutes, scoring the year’s first touchdown in the second quarter, the Orange and Purple returned in the second half to cross the goal line seven times; four extra points were pushed over to bring 114 COACH EMERALD B.

CURTIN, JR. 115 the total to 52 to 0. Several promising sophomores played their first intercollegiate football in this game and fully justified the hopes that were held fur them. Wright and Bowling Injured in Union Victory The Union game, played in Schenectady, was a tragic victory. Continuing the crushing tactics used against Holbrook, Hobart pushed the Garnet eleven all over the field for three quarters before making the only score of the afternoon on a pass from Cullen to Ayrault, plus a place- kick by Miller, accounting for the winning seven points. It was a bitter battle, and all the tricks, old and new were used; the linemen in particular took a bruising. However this was insignificant in comparison with the catastrophe which overtook the team when Bill Wright and Jack Bowling were injured. These two stellar sophomore backs had proved the spark plugs of the attack in the previous game. Wright received a severe concussion when he tackled the receiver of his own punt and was put our for the remainder of the season. Bowl- ing dislocated his elbow after being rackled and was on the bench for the following game. On Homecoming Day, the fortunate Alumni witnessed a perfect football drama, complete wdth suspense and happy ending, as their Alma Mater won a last minute victory from Hamil- ton, age-old rivals. But to those who had seen the team in earlier games, there was something missing. Again the Orange and Purple blasted off great chunks of enemy territory, continu- ously threatening the Continental goal line; but again they were able to push over only one touchdown, when Curtin crossed the line for six points in the third period. There was the same fierce power, the same fight, but there was also the helpless frustration of a strong man whose hands are tied. Hamilton had managed to glean a touchdown and conversion, to gain 116 a one point lead, which they were determined to maintain. Meanwhile Hobart crashed its way again and again to scoring position, only to have each opportunity slip away, as the game drew to a close. With only a minute left to play, Hobart advanced to the Hamilton eight-yard line, fourth down and eight yards to go. A drop-kick was the only wav to save the game, and everyone realized it. Time out was called while Art Stein, the only drop-kicker on the squad, warmed up on the sidelines; an absolute quiet fell as the two teams lined up, each knowing what the other intended. Stein nervously wiped his hands, signaled for the ball, and kicked it through the legs of the charging Hamilton end, squarely over and far above the goal posts. The game ended a few seconds later with the score in favor of Hobart, 9-7. Hobart Downed by Trinity The team made a long journey to Hartford to play Trinity College, a team which had won fourteen straight games. Not at all daunted by this reputation the Orange and Purple ripped into the Trinity line with the same vigor that had characterized the play thus far in the sea- son. It looked like another day of fierce punishing play, with opportunities which inevitably slipped away. Hobart outrushed the New Englanders 259 yards to 83 but were again able to score only once, while Trinity, using to full advantage Kabrosky and O’Malley, stellar backs, and capitalizing on a very fortunate break, made thirteen points to win the game. The very painful break came when a Hobart guard, unaware that Hugh Miller was left-handed, pulled out of the line to protect a right-handed kicker. This maneuver placed him squarely in front of Miller's left leg, and the ball bounced off his back, deep into Hobart territory, where it was recovered by Trinity, who pushed it over for the winning touchdown. 117 King Scores Four Times Against Kenyon With the return of Jack Bowling into the lineup, the team regained much of its old scoring punch in the Kenyon game. Coach Wilson employs the Warner system, a great ground gainer in midfield, which, however, tends to pile up on itself near the goal line, since there is virtu- ally a double line of scrimmage to buck when the opposing secondary closes in. A spark of genius is required to provide the necessary scoring finesse, and on this beautiful autumn day the spark flashed repeatedly as the team smashed out six touchdowns over the strong Kenyon outfit for a 38-6 victory. During the first half Hobart used its usual wearing and pounding tactics of crushing line drives, passing enough to keep the defense spread, scoring twice to Kenyon's once in the first half. Turning on full power in the fourth quarter, the fighting Hobart team pushed over four touchdowns in fifteen minutes of merciless slashing play. Fred King used his 195 pounds of express train speed to score four times in this game. The Rochester game is a pleasure to write about. Both teams were eager and impatient, and in spite of Rochester's rather disappointing record, it was expected that anything could happen. Few traditional rivalries are as keen as the feeling existing between Hobart and Rochester. Upon this day of days the weather, which plays such an important part in the enjoyment of both spectator and player, was crisp and clear. Rochester kicked off and Hobart, turning on an even more inspired brand of punishment than usual, marched 61 yards for an immediate score. Very successfully repulsing any Rochester attack bv the simple method of keeping the ball, and intercepting Rochester passes, Hobart again scored in the second period 118 by a most spectacular stratagem. After spreading the secondary by throwing two incomplete passes to Ferris, Bowling faked the same play; but the stonewall Hobart line melted away, so that the over-eager Rochester forward wall tumbled in a unit upon the elusive Bowling, who flipped a lightning pass to King. With the entire line for interference King galloped through the helpless Yellow secondary for another score. Starting the second half, Hobart scored again on a long march; Bowling intercepted a pass and haltingly picked his path be- hind accurate interference to the goal line 65 yards away. With a lead of 27 points, Coach Wilson returned the Rochester courtesy of last year by putting in his reserves. Rochester took immediate advantage of a break to score their first touchdown. A few minutes later Jack Courage intercepted a pass for Hobart’s last tally. Rochesterdominated the lastquarter, glean- ing another touchdown and the game ended in a 34 14 victory of the Orange and Purple. Following the Rochester game there was a natural reaction to their terrific strain of the sea- son's climax, and practice was casual and lazy. The team was psychologically and physically handicapped and was up against an inspired outfit, keyed to superhuman tension, and the in- evitable resulted. Hobart scored first but failed to make the extra point. Buffalo pushed over scores in the second and third quarters, making one of the conversions. Late in the fourth period the Orange and Purple suddenly came to life long enough to score again but failed to convert, and the final score was 1302. The scrappy Buffalo team deserves all the credit in the world, as they outplayed a bigger and better team through sheer grit and determination. VARSITY BASKETBALL Coach Wilson, torio, Erickson, Hogc, Henry, Manager Whedon, Manager Blazey Ferris, Jenkins, Bowling, Nichols, Spies, Curtin, Miller The basketball team at Hobart, which for 16 years took regular beatings from all opponents, and never ended a season with more victories than defeats, has finally come into its own to rank with leading small college hardcourt fives. Inaugurating a new system last year. Coach Wilson and his men had to be content with but two wins, but, as the players became more familiar with the new style offense and defense, and as the Orangemen began working as a five- man ream and not as five individuals, the results on the scoreboard started writing Hobart's name down in black instead of red ink. As the 1935-36 season came to a close, local statisticians delved into the records to find that noc since 1921 had Hobart ended a season with better than a .500 average, and not since the inception of basketball at Hobart had an Orange team won as many as eight games in a single season. That is the record of this year's outfit. Credit must be given to Wilson, for moulding the team, and to Captain Nichols, who inspired his men with real spirit, benching himself when slipping, and then working back to a starting position, giving the best performances of his career in the last two games. With the starting line-up consisting of the veterans Nichols, Spies, Hoge, Jenkins, and Erick- son, the season started off with a victory over Hartwick. Hobart came from behind in the final period to win by a two-point margin. The second game, against Colgate, resulted in a 120 1935-36 SCHEDULE Hobart . 42 Hartwick . 40 Hobart 29 Colgate 46 Hobart . 39 Alfred . 55 Hobart • 38 Albany Teachers 36 Hobart . 28 R. P.

Hobart dropped a tough battle to Alfred in the next game. The Genevans managed to hold their own until the closing minutes when the Saxons, in a fast scoring spurt, pushed the final count up to 55-39. Against the University of Western Ontario, a new opponent, the varsity came hack in the second half to take a 28 23 victory, bringing the season's record to two wins and two losses at exam time. Hobart Defeats Buffalo, Hamilton, Upsala After vacation, the team took a trip to Albany to play New York State Teachers and R. P. I., returning with their .500 record still intact. They won a bare two-point victory over Stare Teachers, but the following night lost a half-time lead to give R. P. I. a 38-25 victory. The Genevans next dropped a heart-breaking game to Allegheny when, after leading at the half, the defense went to pieces and allowed the invaders to chalk up 22 points in the period and a 31 19 win. Things brightened up for Hobart in the next two games when the Orange and Purple five took over Buffalo, 33-19, and then defeated Hamilton, 50-42, in a close battle. Continuing the winning streak, Hobart decisively downed a bewildered Upsala quint. Using what had been his second team, Wilson started Miller, Bowling, Ferris, and Henry along with the regular Spies. Using the same players and displaying good ball, Hobart lost a clean, fast, close battle to Rochester by a score of 37-26. 122 HENRY I OK IO K A M £ ERICKSON JENKINS Hobart completely disintegrated on the Alfred court to lose, 61 20, as the sharpshooting Saxons broke through the zone defense. In the return game with Rochester, Hobart fans were able to get a good look at the famed Yellow quintet. Maliborski's guiding genius was the principal factor in the Genevans' second defeat at the hands of the Rivermen. A clever Hamil- ton five was fairly and squarely defeated on the Hobart court by the wide margin of 50 26 as the Orangemen showed tip-top form to gain a well-earned victory. Team Completes Best Season in History Completing the best basketball season in Hobart history, the Genevans journeyed to Buffalo to conquer the Bulls by a score of 37 19. The Hobart defense held Buffalo to one field goal in the first half and only five in the entire game. The 1935 36 team established basketball more firmly at Hobart and aroused an unusual amount of interest. Next year, with some very promising newcomers, Coach Wilson looks for a suc- cessful season and supporters of the college note with satisfaction the rising tide of Hobart basketball fortunes. 123 MILLER I OW LING VARSITY LACROSSE Manager Lapham, Ditrmar, Clark, King, Rodgers, Rose, Coach Kraus Cullen, Harvey, Stein, Mulligan, Kenly, Johnson, Berger, Dickinson Ferris, Capcain Rich, Litiiton, Gilmore, Nichols COACH KRAUS 1935 SCHEDULE Hobart ... 3 Hobart . 11 Hobart 8 Hobart .13 Hobart 17 Hobart 4 Hobart 11 67 Syracuse .11 Union . ... 4 Cornell 3 Colgate 2 Cornell 5 Syracuse 17 Colgate 3 43 The upward trend in Hobart sports, which began on the football field, was given a great impetus by the 1935 lacrosse team. The material was of an abundance and quality which had not brightened the eye of a Hobart coach in many springs, and the optimistic atmosphere lent the confidence necessary to produce a successful team. The reassuring presence of big Art Johnson, All-American goalie, along with Captain Marsh Rich, Bowden, Harvey, Stein, and Cross, formed a solid nucleus around which was built a winning combination. The sopho- 124 more stars. Rose, Rodgers, Ferris, Gilmore, and Warder, of the classy 1934 frosh outfit, were also a source of much )oy to Coach Babe Kraus, since it rarely happens that so many experi- enced second-year men are available. From this wealth of individual talent was shaped a brilliant though erratic unit, which won five of its seven games, losing only to Syracuse. Krausmen Lose Opener to Syracuse Hobart opened the season against a well-trained Syracuse club, and received a trouncing at the hands of the big Orange. The Hobart lads showed plenty of flashy ball-carrying and stick- handling, but their lack of experience and teamwork did not compare well with the well-co- ordinated passing of Syracuse. Robbins, All-American home from Syracuse, played a large part in running the final score up to 11 3, while Hobart's Ferris, making his debut in inter- collegiate lacrosse, showed promise of supplying many a goalie with premature grey hair. The Orange and Purple journeyed to Union College to chalk up the first victory of the season, by a score of 11 4. The reserves saw plenty of action in the second half and held the scoring even to maintain the large lead which the varsity had easily run up earlier in the game. Johnson Makes Miracle Saves Against Cornell The defense, led by Captain Marshall Rich, turned in a brilliant game against Cornell on the Ithacans’ home field. Playing an air-tight game all the way, the wide stick boys continually whipped the ball up into Cornell territory, where Ferris, Gilmore, and Harvey led the attack to salt away eight goals to Cornell's three. Art Johnson showed his All-American talenc 125 in the latter part of the first half, when he made many miracle saves. Hamilton Defeated 1} 2 Playing Colgate at Hamilton, the Orange and Purple players scored their third consecutive victory, hy the wide margin of 13 2. Ferris continued to be a nuisance to the opposing defense, while Rose and Nichols did nothing to make life any easier for the Red Raiders. The valuable Hobart reserves saw much service in this game, and carried away considerable glory. Inspired Genevans Crush Cornell After four games away, Hobart returned to the home grounds to de- feat Cornell in what was to many the most satisfactory encounter of the season. There has always existed between the big Red and little Hobart a definite rivalry which at times approaches bitter- ness. Inspired by this ancient feeling, the team clicked perfectly; methodically pounding the Cornell defense, they scored regularly until, in the third period, the Ithacans completely disintegrated under the constant pressure and the home team breezed in ten goals in as many minutes of play. Warder led the defense with fierce ball- stealing tactics, while Ferris used his thundering speed to account for five spectacular tallies. Harvey and Nichols tossed in four and three respectively. The game ended with the disgruntled Redmen on the short end of a 17 5 score. 126 Hobart Again Bows to Syracuse With four successive wins behind it, Hobart met Syracuse at Ge- neva, highly hopeful of turning the tables on the powerful Orange team, which had also established a brilliant record since the last meeting of the two schools. The old Syracuse jinx, however, worked overtime and again crushed the chances for a Hobart victory. Gone was the smashing defense and the fast passing attack which had mowed down the Cornell stick-men. Syracuse's rugged defense and slight-of-hand shooting further demoralized the Hobart attack, while Warder's illness left a large hole in the defense. Again and again Robbins of Syracuse slipped through the Hobart lines to worry Art Johnson with lightning passing and shooting, and the battle ended with the score Syracuse 17, Hobart 4. Defeat of Colgate Ends Season Finishing up the season after the Syracuse disaster, Hobart tumbled an inferior Colgate outfit into defeat by the comfortable score of 11 4. Both teams played lackadaisically, the Hobart boys obvi- ously showing the results of the Commencement activities. Nichols and Mulligan led the scoring, while practically all the Hobart re- serves saw action in this final game. 127 TENNIS Led by Capra in Emerson Spies, and under the direction of Coach Fred Drevvett, of Geneva, the tennis team last year gained a record of two victories, a tie, and four defeats. Starting the season with losses to Buffalo and Canisius, both matches away, the Orange and Purple netmen came hack strong to win the next two home games. In the traditional Roches- ter game the locals defeated the Rivermen, 5 2, with the match marked by the fine play of Spies, Sumner, Miller, and Mallison, who accounted for four out of the five singles and divided the two doubles matches. The outfit turned back the University of Buffalo team on the St. Clair Street Courts by a score of 5 1, and played a strong Canisius College team to a 3 3 tie in the second of a home-and-home series. In the two final matches with Rochester and Hamil- ton the varsity found the lack of practice during exam week too great a handicap and lost both. At the conclusion of the season, Spies was reelected captain for this year, and prospects look good for a strong team to be built around Spies, Sumner,Erickson, Mallison, and Zink, plus several of last year's freshman stars. BOXING Under the leadership of Coach Jerry Ford, the first intercollegiate boxing ream in Hobart history was established this year, and the team took part in two matches against Syracuse University junior varsity and freshman lighters. Except for Berc Courage and Loren Bullock, who had fought in A. A. U. matches, the squad was made up of inexperienced men, but the team ended its short season with the creditable record of one close defeat and one draw. In the first encounter with the Orange team, held in Williams Hall before an unusuallv large and enthusiastic crowd of students and Geneva fight fans, the Hobart boxers put up a game strug- gle to win five of the eleven bouts. Courage, Bullock, Fred Dickinson, Bowker, and Borglum placed in the winning column. In the second meet, held at Syracuse, the Genevans fought to a 3 3 draw, Bowling and Bowker winning technical knockouts and Courage winning a deci- sion. A good deal of interest in the ring has been shown, and it is probable that boxing will be continued at Hobart as a regular intercollegiate sport. GOLF After a lapse of several years, golf Was revived at Hobart last spring, and a ream led by Hank Coleman, Finger Lakes champion, took part in two meets against the Rochester ream. The outcome of the matches hardly indicates the ability of the Hobart golfers, since it was the first time that most of them had faced match competition. In the first match, held at the Geneva Country Club, the Rivermen won, 6 0, and in the second repeated their victory with a score of 4-2. Prospects for this spring, when the team will face Rochester twice and Buffalo twice, appear better, as more experienced men are available. 128 FRESHMAN AND INTRAMURAL SPORTS FRESHMAN FOOTBALL Vrecland, Dickinson, Bootay, Benjamin, McClelland, Bamec, Brict, Gilman, Moore, Daugenti, Silver Jones, Frerk, Harter, Dickson, Werner, Alderman, Mulcahy, Lcgg, Santos Although handicapped bv a small squad, Coach Paul Vogt again turned out an undefeated freshman eleven this year, led by a smooth-functioning backfield composed of Bamer, Britt, Dickson, and Silver. The yearlings walked away with the lirst game of the season, against Cazenovia Seminary, to the tune of 19 0. The Silver-Dickson passing combination clicked, Dickson carrying the ball over twice and a pass from Silver to Frerk accounting for the final touchdown. In the next battle the Manlius School, eager to revenge their defeat of the previous season at the hands of the Hobart frosh, held the local eleven to a 14 14 tie. For the first three quarters the Vogtmen had everything their own way, chalking up scores in the second and third periods. In the final frame, however, with only twelve men playing the whole game, they tired and Manlius pushed over a touchdown. The game still looked like a sure victory uncii the final minutes when a long pass gave Manlius the final touchdown of the day. The tying point was made with only ten seconds left to play. The Hobart freshmen completed their season with a 19 0 victory over the Rochester Univer- sity freshmen. The aerial attack clicked, and the Rivermen were easily outclassed. Bill Dick- son took all the scoring honors by making all 19 points. The successful season was due not only to a good offensive attack but also to a strong, heavy line. The record indicates that there will be plenty of good reserve material for next season's varsity eleven. 130 FRESHMAN BASKETBALL Harccr, Lambert, Calladinc, Silver, Murphy Leader, Britt, Frerk, Bootay, Dickson Continuing triumphantly after their successful football season, the freshmen, under the guid- ance of Coach Babe” Kraus, produced a smooth working and highly successful basketball team. From the beginning it was evident that there was considerable talent on the squad, and led by the brilliant shooting of George Britt and Robert Bootay and thesteady floorwork of Bill Dickson, the first year quintet had little trouble in taking six of their eight games. The freshmen opened their season with two wins on successive evenings. In the first game they defeated a strong Genesee Wesleyan outfit, 64-38, and on the following evening took over the highly touted University of Buffalo yearling team, 46-34. Opposition in the next battle was much stronger, but the invading Fayetteville High outfit, which boasted a fine record went down to the Orange, 38-30. The visitors fought hard but the consistent scoring of Britt and Bootay was too much for them. Spurred on by their first three wins, the Hobart yearlings journeyed to Rochester to battle the Rochester frosh. In this battle the Genevans somehow did not click and suffered their first loss by a score of 34-24. The following week they re- gained their winning stride in a 26-19 victory over Waterloo High. In the return game with Rochester the freshman five suffered another loss to their traditional rival, 49-29- Although the Orange team took plenty of shots at the basket, no concerted attack was staged, and Rochester easily drew out in front by the end of the first half. Al- though the locals came from behind to tie the count at 10-10 in the first period, the Rivermen executed a nice offense that gave them a 20-point margin of victory. The Hobart freshmen closed their season with a close 39 33 victory over the University of Buffalo freshmen. 131 FRESHMAN LACROSSE Numeral [Vinners Armstrong Harnish V. Babcock Henry Borglum Iorio Bowling Miller Camelio Murdock Consler Noble ,]. Courage Sage Dougherty Spencer Wright Faced with the task of teaching a green, inexperienced squad the fundamentals of lacrosse, Coach Paul Vogt, a former Hobart stick star, managed to turn out an outfit that went through its entire season undefeated. Despite their inexperience, the freshmen scored a 2-0 victory over Gow School in their first game, Spencer and Wright dividing the scoring honors. Hobart held the advantage through- out most of the game as a result of greater weight and size and kept possession of the ball most of the time. In the second game on their schedule, the Hobart yearlings put the Cornell freshmen to rout to the tune of 24-0. Spencer, Wright, Babcock, and Iorio did most of the scoring. The frosh ended their season with a defeat of the Syracuse freshmen by a score of 9-1. The Orange yearlings scored the only goal of the season against the previously impregnable Camelio, but bowed to defeat before the onslaught of goals from Spencer, Iorio, Wright, Bab- cock, Bowling, and Armstrong. 132 INTRAMURAL ATHLETICS Herman, Eaton, Spencer Lc France, Farringcon, Kemp, Venuti, Bernier Faculty Advisor Secretary.

In the past year over ninety per cent of the student body took some part in one or several of the many competitive sports tournaments sponsored by the Intramural Board of Managers. The sports arc conducted impartially and with opportunities for individual 133 recognition as well as group reward. In addition to trophies and medals for the winning groups and individuals, the Rupert Blessing Intramural Trophy is awarded each year to the group with the highest composite score. This is based on the number of sports participated in, the success of the teams, and the percentage of the group participating. Last year the trophy was awarded to Phi Phi Delta. Delta Psi Again Wins Football The sports program got under way early in the fall when the Delta Psi Omega Fraternity re- peated its triumph of the previous year and won the intramural football trophy defeating the Phi Phi Delra team 12 0. Sigma Chi Undefeated in Basketball The Sigma Chi quintet swept through its ten game schedule without a loss and clinched the intramural basketball championship by defeating the Brent House and Phi Phi Delta teams on successive evenings by scores of 36-30 and 19-17 respectively. Led by Wimperis and King the Sigma Chi team played good ball throughout the season and on several occasions came from behind to win by close margins. Phi Phi Delta Takes Volleyball Championship The volleyball championship went to the Phi Phi Delta Team for the second successive year. After fighting their way through to the play-offs they defeated the Delta Psi Omega team in three straight games. It was the second successive year chat the Delra Psi Omega team had won its way to the finals only to lose to the Hamilton street team. In the frcechrow contest the group championship was won by the Phi Phi Delra Fraternity with a score of 85 for the highest five men. Their nearest competitors, Geneva Hall and Sigma Phi, were far behind with a total of 71 points each. James Curtin and Donald Harter, both members of the winning team, tied for the individual honors with a score of 19 out of a possi- ble 25. Curtin won the play-off with a score of 12 for the lowest winning score in the history of the event. The 1935 Softball championship was won for the second successive year by the Theca Delta Chi team. Outstanding for the Thera Delts was the batting of Miller and the pitching of Spies, whose twirling was in a large part responsible for the Theta Delts’ victory. First Bronze Gloves Tournament Held The second annual intramural boxing tournament was held under the auspices of Jerry Ford who coached the varsity boxing team. The winners in their respective classes were King, Courage, Borglutn, Mulligan, Henry, Mike and Bullock. 134 INTRAMURAL CHAMPIONS Football Delta Psi Omega Basketball Sigma Chi Volleyball.................................Phi Phi Delta Freethrow—Individual winner, Curtin; Intrafraternity, Phi Phi Delta Baseball Theta Delta Chi Event took place in Spring 1935. 135 C T I VITIES LITTLE THEATRE DEBATE GLEE CLUB CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS CLUB BAND SCIENCE CLUB ECHO OF THE SENECA HOBART HERALD FRESHMAN HANDBOOK LITTLE THEATRE Richard C. Lytle Warren D. Starrett Electrician Stage Manager Duilio N. DiCostanzo Secretary - Treasurer Donald W. Mayberry President Grant A. Morrill, Jr. Business Manager Marking the culmination of several years of joint productions, the Medbery Mummers, dramatic organization of Hobart, and the Hill Masquers, similar group of William Smith College, merged this year into a single unit under the name of the Hobart Little Theatre. More than ten years of service to Hobart and William Smith dramatics were concluded this year by Mrs. Murray Bartlett, director of the group and wife of Hobart’s retiring president. It has been due primarily to the efforts of Mrs. Bartlett that the Hobart Little Theatre has become one of the most active of the small college producing groups. The Little Theatre staged three major productions this season. The first, Accent on Youth , by Samuel Raphaelson, was a delightful comedy that afforded an opportunity for some ex- cellent acting. The part of Stephen Gaye, principal character, was taken by Jonathan Curvin, assistant director of the group, who demonstrated a finesse gained only by much experience on the stage. Grace Brickman cleverly and sympathetically played the role of Linda Brown, the playwright’s beautiful secretary. 138 LITTLE THEATRE Merton Hodge's The Wind and the Rain”, a portrayal of University life at Edinburgh, was the season’s second production. The leading parts were taken by Guy Emery Shipler, Jr., and Marguerite Zumbach. The third production, Noel Coward's Hay Fever”, was the crowning success of the sea- son. The audience was captivated by its sparkling comedy and brilliant dialog. The cast in- cluded Walter Booth, Jack Henry, Grace Brickman, Guv Shipler, Marguerite Zumbach, Elon Eaton, and Carol Lewis. The performance is to be repeated at Commencement time as part of the Alumni Day program. Considerable interest was shown this year in the Freshman Try-outs, which consisted of three one-act plays, produced under student direction with Mr. Curvin's supervision. The stu- dent directors were Donald Mayberry, president of the Little Theatre, Jack Deeringer, and Marguerite Zumbach. 139 DEBATE ALBERT G. ZINK Coach Officers Dr. John G. Van Deuse Captain Albert G. Zink Manager Nathan F. S. Porter Albert G. Zink Squad George A. Kemp Frank P. Smith Thomas A. Fraser Samuel G. Warr Jack Courage George Hull Frederic Neumann Sydney Browne Although crippled at the beginning of the year because of the loss of three men through gradu- ation, a squad of nine men including four with previous experience as debaters turned out to brighten the outlook. Numbered among the five new men was Frederic Neumann, blind Ho- bart freshman, who is rapidly turning into one of the finest debaters ever to represent Hobart. The annual extended trip of the team took the debaters to Washington, D. C., where they met Howard University, and to Rutgers, Bard College and Fordham, the trip being made during the Spring recess. The season opened with a practice debate with Kcuka College, early in the first semester, in anticipation of the outstanding array of opponents to be met the second term. At the time the Echo went to press, the logic-fencers had won two and lost three debates, besides engaging in a number of non-decision contests. 140 DEBATE The squad suffered a major loss when Sydney Browne, '38, was forced to leave school because of illness shortly after the opening of the second semester, and after he had demonstrated his ability to debate successfully and convincingly. Extension debates, which have become a feature of the Hobart schedule, were continued during the past season, the team debating before such organizations as the Geneva Kiwanis Club, the Penn Yan Rotary Club, the Masons, Clifton Springs Rotarv Club, and the Buffalo Torch Club. Radio debates this season included debates with the University of Florida over station WHAM, and with Wells over station WMBO. Hobart met the following teams during the 1933-36 season: Keuka (2), Niagara, Washington and Jefferson, Buffalo, Florida, Syracuse, Houghton, Howard, Rutgers (2), Fordham, Bard, and Colgate. The question was the nation-wide favorite for intercollegiate competition; Resolved: That Congress should have the power, by a two-thirds vote of each House, to over-ride any de- cision of the Supreme Court declaring an act of Congress unconstitutional. With only two men graduating this spring, and with six men returning who have had ex- perience on the debate platform, it is hoped that debating will assume the high place it held several years ago, when the Hobart team went through two consecutive seasons without suffering a defeat. Five of the six men returning will be at Hobart for at least two more years, insuring a strong basis for debating operations. Coaeh Van Dcuscn, Courage, Kemp, Porter, Captain Zirik Hull.

Manager Officers Lewis Niven Donald W. Mayberry Arnold Wilkes The Glee Club enjoyed a highly successful season this year as a result of the persevering labors of Mr. Niven and the fact that the tenor section was one of unusual power. Engagements in- cluded concerts in conjunction with the choral organizations of Wells and Keuka Colleges, as well as a home concert and presentations in neighboring towns. Two quartets added their specialties to the club's repertoire. The program was rich and varied, including such items as Allegri's Miserere, Haydn's Maiden Fair, Handel's Hallelujah, Amen, and the Chorus of Priests of Isis from Mozart's Die Zauber- floete. Compositions of the Romantic school, and distinctly American songs, such as Foster's Beautiful Dreamer, were also featured. The novelty of the season, a sure-fire hit, was An Act of Up-to-Date Grand Opera, a take-off on Faust, Martha, and the Barber of Seville. Perhaps the highlight of the year was the performance of Brahms’ Liebeslieder and of Gilbert and Sullivan's Trial by Jury in conjunction with the William Sm;th Choral Club. Male prin- cipals included Payne, Mayberry, Wilkes, and St. John. Enthusiastically received was this operetta, the first of its type ever given at Hobart. 142 CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION Coleman, Mayberry, Berger, Foulkcs, Henry, Rumsey, Broadhurst, Carson Farrington, Shiplcr, Morrill, Pectit, Canfield, Armstrong, Hopson, Bowker, Neumann, Spurway Mallison, Chute, Fraser, Gasck President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Officers Lauton W.

The club keeps in contact with similar organizations in other colleges and universities through the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace and by cooperative meetings with the colleges. At the regular fortnightly meetings, papers deal- ing with various aspects of international problems are presented by members, and discussions usually follow. Students showing a keen interest in international problems are elected to membership. Three delegates from the Hobart International Relations Club were sent to the International Relations Conference of the Middle Atlantic States, a convention held early in the year at Syracuse University. 144 THE BAND Officers President Leland W.

The on- ly trip taken by the group was to Rochester for the big game between the traditional rivals, where the Hobart and University of Rochester bands joined in a colorful performance between the halves. Organized through the efforts of Olcott M. Brown, ‘22, field representative of the college, the band acquired new uniforms this year and valuable additions, including several original arrangements, were made to the musical library. The Board of Control established this year an award of a gold key to members of the band upon completion of three years of service. 145 SCIENCE CLUB FRANK PYE SMITH Officers President.................................

It was originally a four-page paper. No labor of love has been the publication of this volume. Difficulties encountered besides the financial have involved such minor troubles as poor weather for taking photographs and the last-minute rush caused by the Hobart Plan. Devoid of elaborate decorative em- bellishment, the book strives for simplicity, accuracy, and dignity. We wish to express our gratitude to the members of the Echo staff for their willing and con- scientious assistance. 149 HOBART HERALD G. DONALD WHEDON Eilitor-in-Chuf DONALD W.

COPP Managing Editor The Hobart Herald, weekly student publication, is apparently the oldest newspaper in Geneva. Founded in 1879 as a monthly periodical, it has been a weekly since 1913- Published entirely by- students, it reports the events of the college y-ear and affords an opportunity for the expression of student opinion in its columns bv means of letters to the editor. The organization of the paper is divided into three departments: Editorial, Business, and Mechanical. This year's editor, G. Donald Whedon, appointed Frederic C. Downing as his successor for the coming year. STUDENT HANDBOOK The Student Handbook, known as the H Book”, is published yearly by the junior class with the purpose of acquainting the new students with Hobart. Including information about the campus, Geneva, college societies, fraternities, athletics, freshman rules, and other matters of interest, it aids greatly in the adjustment of the new student to college life. Last year the Student Handbook was edited by G. Donald Whedon.
