THE HOBART COLLEGE GEHEVA.HEV YORK ♦ DEDICATION Sing. 0 ye Muses, everlasting praise To Hobart’s chieftains, bold in days of yore. In trumpet-tongued words your voices raise Enshrining triumphantly Hobart's lore. To him be honour, glorifying laud. Who left fair mountain-clad, great Dartmouth s halls, Forsaking them for 1 lohart s verdant sward, To be our leader where the blue lake calls. A leader true, and well by us esteem'd Is William Alfred Eddy, pure of soul. And free from cant is he, of candour deem'd, Whilst Hobart’s halcyon days will be his goal. To him. then, proudly we of thirty-eight, The sev enty-fifth Echo dedicate ♦ Eric Arson. '38. FOREWORD Forthwith is presented the seventy- fifth volume of the Echo of the Seneca. Our purpose has been to provide an accurate and interesting record of the events of the past year. May the events of the year lose none of their glamour through repetition, and may this book re- flect the integrity of purpose and the generosity of spirit of the Hobart that is to be.

Lytle Secretary Treasurer Vice-President SENIOR CLASS HISTORY The fall of 1933, when the Class of 1937 entered Hobart, seems long ago, and since that time many changes have come about both in the nation and in the college; yet the four-year cycle of undergraduate life has passed with amazing speed It seems but yesterday that we, as freshmen, looked forward to graduation as to the dim future, and now it is, almost un- believably, upon us. The years in college have wrought changes upon us; not only has the class shrunk in size, but in this most formative period of our lives we have grown from adolescence to near- maturity Most of us now feel rather tired of college and anxious to leave, but in retrospect these years will undoubtedly seem very happy. Our departure from the unreal world of college life marks the end of something w e can never recapture and the beginning of a period 20 of uncertainty and difficulty What college has meant to us it is now hard to say. but Hobart has had a far greater effect on us than w e have had on her. As a class we have been un- distinguished and have so far contributed little to the college, but we have a growing love for Hobart and an increasing realization of the value of what we w ill take with us when we leave her walls. We are graduating at a better time than has any class in the past decade, and should profit thereby. We will not forget our debt to Hobart Back row: Somerset. I.rickson, Wardwcll. Bertram, Jacobs.

Jr Vice-President William E. Moore I listorian David (Narraway President JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY We have completed our Junior year at Hobart. We have completed that year which has been termed by many the best year of one's college life. In our Freshman year we were attacked by the Sophomores in the traditional scraps and the Seniors menaced us w ith their paddles. Our Sophomore year was marked w ith the traditional class scraps w ith the Freshmen at the beginning of the year However, w e took a parting shot at them on Moving-Up Day when we won the Flour Scrap This coming year, our Senior year, will be marked with Freshman Discipline and preparations for graduation ow in our Junior year we have taken a brief respite from class scraps, before taking up the guidance of the Frosh and the responsibility and dignity of our Senior year Is it no w onder that w e are called Jolly Juniors? 3 b We have left behind several petty ideals Since our arrival at Hobart, sophistication has gradually dominated our character; we have found our love for our Alma Mater grow ing stronger each year. Our interests and achievements are naturally varied, but we are even more varied in those goals w hich we expect to reach Yet, in the last analysis we are bound together by the ties of mutual class friendship. The Class of 1938 is not one of scholars, athletes, or personalities, but a w ell-rounded com- bination of all types w hich go to make up a group that contributes to each department of college life. With a final stroke of the pen. therefore, we hope that we have left impressions and examples w hich come up to the high ideals of Hobart College and her traditions. W. E. M. Back row. Borglum.

Dickson President Raymond Benjamin Treasurer SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY Upon the eve of our third year in the pursuit of higher learning, we may pause and look upon our achievements of the past term On our coming to college last year, we were hailed as “the class of the century with our genii and our athletes. In our freshman year we proved ourselves to be more than the expectations which preceded our entrance. Little did the authorities realize that this year would be the Golden Age of all sophomore classes. Our honor students continued to rank high among the college, our athletes took their berths on the varsity teams, and our singers, debaters, and musicians cast out brilliant scintillations of glory which w reath u) w ith a halo Acting with the seniors, our attempts to orient the green freshmen were so successful that we feci confident the class which follows will almost he able to uphold the standards origi- nated by their predecessors. As a body w e have passed from rung to rung up the ladder of successful education We have, unfortunately, lost some of our original group, but our ranks have been swelled by repre- sentatives from other institutions. Dauntless, we stand at the threshold of a great undertaking- the completion of our last years in college. May success continue to crow n our path into the unknow n future. T. M. C.

Their fertile minds they first applied To thoughts of torture sweet Their subjects w ere the Sophomore Class. And many met defeat. From North, from South, from Bast and West, The Class of 40 came, And in their hearts was courage And a love to play the game. In basketball, football, lacrosse And other sports as well, It was manifest beyond a doubt That this class did excell 82 Their versatility unique Their studies not neglected, The makings of a mighty class Were readily detected. And later yet. the Freshman Class With mighty enterprise. In a manner o( revolt. Took off their caps and ties. Defeat came not from mortal man Nor from a coalition: The Class of '40 w ith respect Yielded to tradition. And now their Freshman year is o’er. And many things are wrought; Yet deeds still greater will be done By the Class of Four and Naught. -J D. W. (Acting (Historian) Back row: W right. Smart. Neumann, Jeffery. G. Chartres, Lansing.

It was the second national fraternity to establish a chapter at the Geneva institution, the first having been established by Alpha Delta Phi. which preceded Sigma Phi by several months The charter members of the group were the Rev. Francis Beverage, Charles C. Brown, Charles G. Brundige, Albert G I lemingway, John P. McGregor, and William fJ Watson. The chapter has enjoyed a continuous existence since its inception, although its membership was reduced to a single student in 1853 due to the low condition of the college at the time. Sigma Phi together with Kappa Alpha and Delta Phi form the “Union Triad and w ere the pattern of the vast American college fraternity system that has grow n up since their establishment. 9' Kappa Alpha BETA Ol- NEW YORK I'ounded. in tiS’lf, at Union College Beta of Aew York, 1X44 Active Chapters, 8: Inactive, 1 Total membership, j.]f 1-.

Colonel William Logie, a Hobart man, transferred 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. Accord- ingly. upon affirmation of Union, Logie and another Union Theta Delt journeyed to Geneva and initiated Barclay, Brooks, Goodrich, Handerson, Moss, Roy, Rundle, Smith, and Yawger.

The group originated as the Commons Club and w as subsequently know n as Cres- cent Club. In 1925 the name was changed to Lambda Pi. The group had always been strong and its incorporation as a chapter of a prominent national fraternity was no surprise. Kappa Sigma was originally founded as a Southern fraternity, but eventually spread throughout the United States until today it has chapters in every state, except Nevada, Delaware, and Connecticut It also has one Canadian chapter. 101 mesa ▲ ▲ Delta Psi O Founded in ie i j, at Hobart College Colors, jutrpie and white E.

Delta Psi Omega was formed in 1923, as an answer to the growing need for a new fraternity at Hobart caused by the ever increasing number of neutrals. The founders, all men of high scholarship and leaders in the neutral body, were William B. Cams, Harry S. Corby. Floyd B. Hill, Harry H. Hobbs. William Mannass, George W. Pring, William P. Rupert, and Stanley G. White. The fraternity has always prided itself on its high scholastic average and has won the McDaniels Scholarship Cup on several occasions. The fraternity acquired a house soon after its founding, but in 1933 as a result of the financial depression, it was forced to give up its house, and has since main- tained a Chapter Room and adjoining charters in Section C, Medbery Hall. 103 ♦ SOCIETIES THE DRUIDS CHIMERA TAU KAPPA ALPHA ORANGE KEY PHI BETA KAPPA KAPPA BETA PHI EPSILON PI SIGMA SKULL AND DAGGER OWL CLUB ♦ The Druids SENIOR HONORARY SOCIETY CARLTON.) FLRRIS No greater honor can be conferred upon a Hobart undergraduate than election to the Druid Society. The Druids, always seniors, traditionally number no more than five nor less than three. They are chosen each Moving-Up Day by the Druids of the preceding class as the most outstanding men on the campus from the standpoint of academic, social, and athletic activities. The purpose of the Druid Society is three-fold. First, to acquaint the incoming freshmen with Hobart ideals, customs, and traditions; secondly, to appoint the freshman class officers for the first semester when the new students are not sufficiently well acquainted to make a wise choice of their own; and thirdly, to stimulate by their leadership the perpetuation and observance of worthy Hobart traditions. This year the Druids, numbering three, are Frederick Callan Downing of Valatie. New York, Robert Allen Ayrault of Medina, New York, and Carlton James Ferris of Geneva, New York. iob The Druids Dow ning, a member of Sigma Phi. is eclitor-in-chief of the Hobart llerald. editor-in-chief of the u)37 Eci 10 of ti if Shneca, editor of the 1937 H” Book, and a member of Chimera and Orange Key. Ayrault, who was head of the Phi Phi Delta fraternity during the past t ear, is president of the Orange Key society, a member of Yomis and Chimera, and has been a member of the basketball and football squads.

Moore The 1936 grid campaign was one of the most successful in Hobart s history: the team, coached by Speed ” Wilson rolled up a record of six w ins. one tie and one loss This year the Orange and Purple eleven w as one of the finest balanced teams in the small college ranks in the country. With a fast- charging and heavy line and a well-timed backfield the Statesmen were unbeaten until their last encounter. The coaching staff of Wilson and Ford deserve the highest praise for the well-rounded eleven they turned out. The outstanding performer of the year, if such a distinction can he made, was Co-captain [-'red King, whose hard plunging tactics and lightning speed accounted for many sizeable gains throughout the season Fred rolled up a total of seventy-five points to w ind up the season in second place in the Eastern scoring race King also received honorable mention on the Associated Press All-American team The splendid work of such backs as Wright, Bow ling. Miller, and Ferris, and the superb line play of Rich. Narra way, Dickson, and Ayrault were bright spots of this great season I n their own class the Hobart team was recognized by sports w riters and opponents as one of the leading small college elevens in the country. Defeating such teams as Trinity, Denison, and Buffalo, earning a tie with Amherst in the opening game and finally losing to a much stronger Army team the Statesmen acquitted themselves nobly Amherst—o Hobart—o The opening game of the 193b season saw the Orange and Purple gridders on strange territory and they earned a scoreless tie w ith a strong Amherst team The Lord Jeffs gained more first clowns than Hobart, but the stronger Statesmen line outrushed their opponents. Only once did the Hobart eleven have its back against the wall, but they held and gained the ball on the Hobart S-yard line. Throughout the game the two teams were on very even terms and the battle waged up and 120 COACH E.

Union—o llobarl—26 A huge homecoming day crowd saw' Speed Wil- son's team smother a fighting Union team by a score of 26-0. Straight football was the keynote of the Orange and Purple attack; this hard, straight type of football together with five costly fumbles by the Garnet aided the home team greatly. Whenever the Statesmen did vary their style of attack they met w ith success, completing three out of five attempts. The brilliant play of the entire backfield of King, Miller, right, Ferris, and Bowling featured the afternoons play. It was Hobart's third consecutive win over the Garnet. Hamilton—o Hobart—j j The Statesmen chalked up another win at the expense of the Hamilton team to the tune of 33-0. The game was featured by a brilliant joo-yard dash by Hugh Miller after intercepting a Hamil- ton pass on his own goal line. King with three touchdowns and two conversions was the high scorer. One of his runs was an eighty yard plunge through the center of the Hamilton line The play of Dickson and Narraway in the line was brilliant. Wright gains around I inion’s end Trinity—6 Hobart—26 A smashing line attack and a strong pass defense spelled defeat for the highly touted Trinity eleven The varsity scored in every period except the first, which was very even and most of the play was in midfield. Kobrosky was the first Trinity man to score and the first to cross the goal line during the season; his score came in the middle of the third period. Co-captain King got eight points to place himself in the scoring lead, his nearest rival being Monk Meyer of the Army. Denison—o Hobart—26 The tricky Denison team, exponents of the Ohio State brand of football, left Geneva Saturday night very much disheartened at their defeat at the hand of a supposedly stale Hobart eleven. A strong defense was the feature of both team's play. The splendid passing attack of the Orange and Purple, together with its usual good ground game was too much for the visitors. One of the strang- est happenings of the entire season occurred in this game—King plunging through the center of the line fumbled the ball and Rich fell on the ball over the goal line while a Denison man stood over him and watched the entire play—this gave Ho- bart its first score of the game. The deepest into Hobart territory that the Denison team could get was to the sixteen-yard line where Cullen intercepted a pass to halt the drive. The last period saw most of the second team in the game. King and Wright round Denison's end Rochester— j Hobart—21 Amid rhe usual ceremony attendant upon any meeting between Hobart and Rochester the strong Orange and Purple gridders met a spirited Yellow team which fought doggedly to retrieve what promised to be a most disastrous season at the expense of then traditional rivals T he game started out in most alarming fashion when Rochester blocked a Hobart kick on the Hobart twenty eight yard line and proceeded Lu tend Babcock around right end for a touchdown. At the start of the second period an exchange of kicks gave Hobart the ball on their own twenty. From this point Miller raced to the Rochester twenty and after a series of line plunges King went across the line. The conversion by Miller was good and gave I lobart the lead at the half. At the start of the second half I lobart recovered a Yellow fumble deep in Rochester territory. A pass to Ayrault was completed and the score stood at 14 -6 after Miller converted. Later in the period Hobart's Babcock intercepted a pass to place Hobart in scoring position on the twenty-five, from which point the Orange and Purple steam- roller gathered another touchdown. Again Miller converted and the score stood at 21-b. In the fourth quarter the Yellow launched another drive which carried them to the Hobart eight-yard line. There a lateral from Farnum to Babcock was good for six points, the goal was converted and the game ended with Hobart on the Rochester one-foot line. Buffalo—2 Led by King the Orange and Purple took a hopelessly outclassed Buffalo team into camp by the tune of 52 to 2. King scored five times and converted once to amass thirty-one points. One of the Trinity back about to be spilled by Dickson and Narra way I 24 outstanding things of the entire game was the superb blocking of the linemen. The Hobart at- tack was featured by a strong aerial offense which together with the usual good ground game gave Hobart just what it wanted. At half time the score was 32-2, Buffalo scoring on a safety. In this game every man on the squad saw action. It was sweet revenge for the upset Buffalo victory of the previous campaign. Army—5 Hobart—7 The Cadets, angry at the defeat administered by Notre Dame the week previous and anxious to be ready for Navy the follow ing Saturday, pulled no punches and handed the Orange and Purple its worst defeat of the season. Army proved to be too far above Hobart in charging and timing. The spearheads of the Army attack were Craig, Kasper, team, but one that could be justly proud of its man-power. and Ryan, w ith Wright and King leading the Ho- bart team. The score at the half was only 19-7, Hobart having scored after using its famous GO play to put them in position, and then Dickson on an end-around play w'ent over and Miller con- verted. By far the outstanding man on the Ho- bart team was Wright whose kicking kept us out of danger more often than the score indicates. If it had not been for the fact that Hobart had resorted to the air in the third period and Army had intercepted the pass attempts three times for scores, the final result might not have been so bad. The Orange and Purple left the field a defeated showing against a team superior in training and in Army backs in action against Hobart I25 Basketball Back row: Wilson (Coach). Britt. Dickson. Silver.

Erickson, Hogc (Captain I, Henry, lorio Completing one of the most successful campaigns on the basketball court in recent years the Orange and Purple, led by Captain Lee Hoge, won six games and lost five. It marked the first time Hobart had outscored its opponents in over a decade. The victories came over such teams as Wag- ner, Hamilton. Hartwick, Buffalo, Albany State Teachers, and the Alumni. Coach Speed W'ilson took his last year's veterans—Captain Hoge, lorio. Miller, Henry, Erickson, and Bowling and added several promising young sopho- mores—Britt, Dickson, and Bootay, the result was a finely balanced team that acquitted itself nobly. In addition to the steady and fighting play of the veterans the team was aided considerably by the new men and the outlook for the next two years is promising indeed. By far the most exciting game of the season was the first game with Rochester played at Rochester; the game was a hard fought one with the lead changing hands every minute. The strong Rochester team had been the pre-game favorite but the work of the Orange and Purple five threw a scare into the hearts of their opponents. At the half Hobart led 15-11 and held the lead until the last few minutes when George Bantel, substitute forward, began to throw in shots from all over the floor. To Speed' Wilson and Captain Hoge goes a great deal of credit for their splendid work throughout the season; the team play and spirit of the entire squad were the chief factors in the success of the team, and with the loss of only two men, Hoge and Erickson, prospects for next year seem brighter than ever.

In its first start of the regular season the Statesmen came off the court on the long end of a 35 2? score. The Hobart five led throughout the entire game and the Wagner team was unable to penetrate the tight cone defense of the Genevans. After a rather slow start the Hobart team went to work and piled up a six point lead at half time; again after the half the home attack bogged dow n until about the middle of the third quarter when Bootay.

Regaining their winning w ays the Orange and Purple defeated Buffalo by the score of 33 30. The game was a hard fought encounter throughout with both teams fighting hard to gain a decisive lead. Finally the last quarter spurt of the Statesmen proved too much for the visitors and the game was added to the Hobart win column. On its road trip the Orange and Purple met with little success, losing to Allegheny and to Buffalo The team seemed to definitely lack its former sparkle and there was little interest in either fray for this reason. The scores of these two games were: Allegheny 41 -Hobart 28; Buffalo 34-Hobart 27. 12S MIU.F.R Il'RH Basketball 5 HKII I After returning from its rather disastrous trip tine Orange and Purple regained some of its former spirit and defeated a fighting Hartw iek five to the tune of 43 30 I he whistle at the end of the first half saw the count knotted at 18 all In the last half the lead changed hands several times, but finally the home forces went to work and hopelessly outdistanced the visitors.

It was the greatest year that Hobart has ever had in its thirty-eight years of intercollegiate lacrosse competi- tion. Hobart scored 112 goals as compared to 44 scored by their opponents, and this im- pressive number of scores was piled up in a season of eight games, of which Hobart won seven and lost one The season also marked the tenth anniversary of Coach Babe Kraus as lacrosse coach at Hobart. The bouquets for the best all-round individual performances go to: Captain Art Stein, whose speed and superb stick handling featured the Orange and Purple s strong attack; Goalie bred Dickinson, who stepped so capably into the breach left by the graduation of All-American Art Johnson; Carl Ferris, who received All-American honors for his work throughout the season; and I'rank Rose, whose scoring and passwork earned him the reputation, among his opponents, as one of the most dangerous men on the field. 13c Lacrosse CAPTAIN ARTIE STEIN ALL AMERICAN CARL FERRIS Hobart's opener against Cornell was a slow starting affair. The game dragged listlessly through the first with Hobart having decidedly the better of the argument. A 2-2 deadlock at the start of the second half was soon broken. The pouring rain did not seem to slow up the Genevan's attack any, and they went methodically to work to prove their superiority over the big Red team from Ithaca. The unleashed Orange and Purple attack rang the bell eight times in the second half to end the game on the long end of a 10 4 score. In the last quarter the speed of the Hobart attack was readily witnessed when three goals were scored within twenty seconds of play. Carl Ferris was the star of the game, sifting four goals into the Ithacan's net. Iorio and Bender with two apiece and Stein and Rose scoring one apiece wound up the Hobart tallies for the afternoon. Nichols scores one of Hobart's 20 goals against Union HI Despite the rather sluggish sta t against Cornell the week before, the Orange and Purple were well prepared for the invading Union team. Evidently the Hobart boys had been too eager to show their worth, and when the dust of battle had cleared away the Genevans found themselves the victors by the largest score ever rolled up by a Hobart team. 20-8 Rose and Ferris again proved an unbeatable combination, their accurate passwork and the fact that they scored five and four of the goals respectively aided the home forces consider- ably. At half time the score stood 101 in favor of Hobart v'hich definitely proved the superiority of the Orange and Purple I he most exciting game of the entire season was staged on Boswell Field as one of the high- lights of the annual Spring Weekend. From out of Massachusetts came a strong Springfield team ready, willing, and able tc take back Ifast a victory over the Hobart Club. The game was a close battle all the way. w ith Hobart showing a great fighting spirit to overcome a two- point lead early in the third quarter. The action of the w hole game w as fast and furious with plenty of thrills for both spectators and players. Springfield’s Crowell and Smith were out- standing for the visitors, while Carl Ferris and Frank Rose again led the way for the Orange and Purple. Ferris scored three times, Rose twice and both men paved the way for many of the other scores throughout the game. Two other Hobart men whose brilliant play featured the game were Captain Artie Stein, whose midfield work was beautiful to see and Freddie Dickinson who made several excellent saves in front of the net. The Krausmen journeyed to Hamilton for their next game against Colgate. A slow game, w ith Hobart having things pretty much its own way. was the story of the afternoon. Hobart led throughout the game, the first half being more lively than the second. Again substitutions were plentiful and another victory was chalked up on Hobart’s unblemished record. Indivi- dual scoring honors went to Rose and Bender w ith four and three goals respectively. The feature attraction of the annual Sub-Freshman Day was the Hobart-Cornell lacrosse game. A beautiful day saw many interested sub-freshmen and students packed in the stands of Boswell Field. I he game w ent along at a fairly rapid rate for the first half, marred only by the injury of Nick lorio, sensational sophomore second-defense man At the half Hobart BOW I INC, held a 7-2 lead which it kept intact throughout the torrential downpour that featured the second half. With only a few of the sturdier spectators huddled in the stands the two teams finished the game in a sea of mud. Hobart, led by Rose w ith six goals, had a definitely superior team and scored pretty much when it pleased. Anxious to make up for the losses of the last two years, and hoping to break the long- standing jinx and beat Syracuse at Geneva, a thing that has never been done, an inspired Hobart team took the field. The game was quite evenly played for the first two periods, Syracuse took the lead at half time by an 8-b margin. The powerful Orange and Purple attack was kept well bottled up by a big Syracuse defense; the Syracuse defense men gave ground grudgingly and only after the greatest persuasion by the Hobart forwards. The home defense seemed a bit lethargic and a fast-breaking Orange attack soon took advantage of this fact. The Syracuse midfield men were downfield consistently ahead of our defense. Heading the Syracuse attack w ere Meyer and Thiel, while Rose and Ferris were the features of the Genevans' play. This loss, the third in two years indicted by the sons of Bill Orange, spoiled what otherwise might have been a perfect season. Eager to redeem themselves for their last week's loss. Coach Kraus' charges took the field and thoroughly trounced a hopelessly overwhelmed Tufts College team Hobart had all the say as to when and how to score and the game ended with Hobart the victors by a 17 3 margin. The superb stickwork of the entire Orange and Purple team was the feature of the afternoon's play. Scoring honors went to Ferris who dropped the ball into the net six times, and to Rose and Bender who scored three goals each. Alumni Day saw a superb Hobart team crush a greatly outclassed Colgate team to the tune of it) o. It wound up a season, full of great achievements on the field, in a blaze of glory. With a nine goal lead at half time Coach Kraus took all of his first string men out of the game and substituted freely from his reserve material These subs chalked up ten goals in the shortened twenty minute half and only three times during this half did play cross the center line into Hobart territory.

'27. the team turned in a 28 -7 victory over Manlius and a 25-0 shut-out over the University of Rochester frosh team. A feature of the Manlius game was the playing of Leo Eisenberg and John Sutterby. both Manlius graduates, who last year were regulars on the Manlius squad. Early in the game Einstein blocked a Manlius kick and Clark carried the ball over for the first score of the year, The point w as converted by Grygiels place-kick. During the second quarter, neither team was able to score and the ball went back and forth across the field on punts. Miller. Manlius' right halfback, picked up a blocked Hobart quick-kick and ran for a touchdow n and Dana kicked the extra point making the score 7 -7 at the end of the second quarter. Dick Ferris, brother of Hobart's co-captain of football, broke loose in the third quarter for two touchdow ns Grygiel. Hobart’s left guard converted both points to make the score 217 w hen the third quarter ended In the last few minutes of the final quarter, Ferris again broke loose for a touchdown. This time it was Sutterby who converted the point against his former teammates When the U. of R s Yellowjacket freshmen came to Bosw ell Field this year, they put up a good light but it was not determined enough to save them from a 25-0 defeat. [Tick Ferris broke through the Rochester defense and ran 75 y ards for the first tally of the game He was almost clear for a second time yvhen he yvas stopped in the Rochester secondary by a player who cut over from one side. A fumble at this point in the game cost the Hobart frosh the ball and gave Rochester its best opportunity for scoring during the w hole game. Ho- bart's defense, however, prevented them from getting past the Hobart 21 yard line yvhere Hobart again took the bull Successiyc line plunges by Ferris. Clemens, and Sutterby brought the ball deep into Rochester s territory Sutterby finally took the ball over on a fake spinner from his oyvn five yard line. Hobart threatened again during the last minutes of the half, but was stopped by the whistle on the 2 yard line Most spectacular play of the yvhole game came yvhen Dick Ferris ran 47 yards through most of the Rochester team for the third score Sutterby passed to Einstein in the end zone to make the score ig-o in favor of the Little Orangemen. A touchdown march in the fourth quarter began on the Hobart 30 yard line and ended when McAllister took the ball over from the Rochester 22 yard line for the final score of the game. 1 lb Freshman Basketball Winship. Eisenbcrg. Ferris, Adair. Dobbin. Clemens. Norsen. Ford Coach Babe Kraus turned out a freshman basketball team which, although handicapped by lack of any outstanding stars, played well at times and promises to afford varsity Coach Wilson some good material for next year's varsity. Dick Ferris and Bill Dobbin, former Geneva High School players, were the high scorers of the team, with Bob Adair, Leo Eisen- berg, Cliff Nichols and Earl Norsen also doing good work. The Frosh opened with Lowville Academy, dropping a close one, 32-18. In this, their first game together, they displayed lack of coordination, but a willingness and plenty of fight In their second game, although losing a heartbreaker to the Rochester Frosh. they showed great improvement and a true fighting spirit. Trailing by eight points, with but a few minutes to play, the Genevans, led by Dick Ferris, staged an exciting rally to tie the score at 32 all. In the overtime period, however, the Rochester yearlings tossed in four baskets to win the game, 40-34. The Freshmen w on their first game at the expense of Genesee Wesleyan, toppling the Gene- seens, 41-35. For the third time the Freshmen lost by a very close margin, when the Fayetteville High School team eked out a 29-27 win. The game was nip and tuck all the way and ended with the Krausmen trying desperately to sink one to tie the score The game with Clifton Springs was a breeze for the Genevans. Coach Kraus played his second team the greater part of the time and won easily. 48 20. In the second game of a home and home series the Rochester Frosh again proved t hemselves the masters of the Hobart Frosh, the latter taking a decisive beating, 43 29. The Freshmen brought the season to a close by notching a 311-33 w in over the Manlius School. It was a rough and tumble affair, the Frosh coming from behind to win. nr Freshman Lacrosse Back row: Mgr. Pettit, Dickinson, Britt, Bamer. Dickson V.. Bootay, Frcrk, Vreeland, Henry, Harter. Benjamin, Mulcahy, Coach Vogt 1‘rimt row Hall, Maher, Werner. Bliek, Legg. Moore. Shoemaker, Willmatlh With little or no good talent to form a nucleus. Coach Vogt succeeded in rounding out a group of hopefuls whose noticeable improvement throughout the season ought to stand the varsity in good stead this year With the defense and the midfield made up principally of freshman football men, physical stamina was not lacking. In the goal was Benjamin; points were Bamer and Frerk: first defense, Moore; second defense, Mulcahy; center. Britt;second attack, Dickson first attack, Harter. The home positions were filled by Bootay. Legg, Ray- mer, Henry, or Bliek. Dickinson. Alderman, and Werner also saw action in the three games Sloppy passing featured the Cow School game, the yearlings clearly showing lack of ex- perience and of conditioning. In the first half, the Vogtmen's defense was plainly the tighter of the two, but relaxed in the second half to allow four goals to be made against them Bill Dickson scored the only goal for the Frosh In an exciting overtime game with the Cornell Frosh. the '39 aggregation showed evidence of the experience drilled into them under the able hand of “Jiggs ' O'Conner With two minutes to go the Ithacans were ahead 5 4. but Dickson, stellar orange attack, took the ball in his own territory, ran the whole length of the field, and slammed in the tying goal In the extra period, Bootay, Dickson, and Mulcahy each scored once to one by Cornell's Vontiff. to cinch the game, 8-6. Showing steady improvement, the freshmen stickwielders handily trounced the Syracuse yearlings to the tune of 12 5 l ied for scoring honors were Dickson. Bootay and Mulcahy with three apiece; Britt and Werner scored the remaining three for Hobart. The steady improvement, if nothing else, of the 1939 yearling lacrosse team portrays the excellence of the sophomore material for the varsity squad in 1937. 138 Intramural Athletics cnuti, Bender.

Venlti, Jr. As in past years the intramural sports program at Hobart proved to be exceedingly popular with the student body Rivalries between the various social groups on the campus were never keener than during the past year. The program, which is under the supervision of the Graduate Manager of Athletics and the Intramural Board, is conducted impartially and gives ample opportunity for individual recognition as well as group award. In addition to the trophies and medals awarded to the w inning groups and individuals, the Board awards each year to the group w ith the highest composite score, the coveted Rupert Blessing Intra- mural Trophy The cup is awarded on the basis of participation, the success of the teams, and the number of sports participated in. Last year the Sigma Chi fraternity won the trophy. Brent I louse and Theta Delta Chi, winners of their respective leagues, met on Boswell Field to decide the touch-football championship only to play a scoreless tie Due to bad weather conditions and conflict w ith other parts of the sports program, the two teams were unable to meet again The Eci 10 must, therefore, record the touch-football season of iy;6 as result- ing in a tie. ■ ?9 Intramural Athletics For l he second consecutive year the winner of the intramural basketball championship was undefeated lirent House, w ith a team of experienced men, swept all opposition aside to win the championship with little or no trouble Included in the starting line-up of the victors were such stars as Chink Babcock. Ernie Jenkins, a letter man of the previous season. Joe Grassi, Van I looft. and Bill Frerk, center on last year's strong freshman squad. Phi Phi Della reasserted its old supremacy and won the volleyball championship for the third consecutive year After winning their league title with little difficulty, the Hamilton Street lads met and defeated the Sigma C.hi team, w inners of their league championship, by a 2 to i margin. The Phi Phi Delta fraternity also won the annual free-throw contest, repeating their victory of the previous year. With conversions they were far out in front of their nearest rivals, Kappa Alpha and Geneva and Medberv Three men tied for individual honors with 20 shots apiece In the play-off between the three Boh W inship sank just one more than his nearest rival Jack Henry, and two more than Evan Roberts, to win the individual award. The Sigma Phi kcglers fought their way to the league leadership in the Orange League anJ defeated the Sigma Chi team, winners of the Purple League by a 2 to margin to win the college bowling championship J im Van de Carr and Jack Bow ling, members of the winning team also won the awards given for the highest average and highest single score The Track championship, held by Sigma Phi since 1032. was taken by Sigma Chi last spring Fred King, the Irvington Express, took three firsts and ran anchor man on the winning relay team to lead his fraternity to its first Track championship in several years. King won the 100 yard dash in 10 4 seconds; the 404 in 32 seconds; and the pole vault w ith a leap of 9 feet b inches Other firsts were taken by Hugh Miller in the shot put, Grant Morrill in the high jump, and Roger Harnish in the broad jump Robert Fitzgerald, a freshman from Geneva, won the Irving Angell McGrew , Jr., Memorial Trophy, emblematic of the college tennis championship in the first year it was offered for competion by defeating Frank P Smith in the finals b-3 b-1, 140 Intramural Champions ▲ ▲ ▲ pootball Theta Delta Chi Brent I louse Basketball. ......

Merrill Rocnke, Jr. Norman H. Ludlow, Jr Property Manager Stage Manager Otto J. Weber Richard C. Lytle John O. Bruce Electrician President Treasurer With much new talent used in its productions the Hobart Little Theatre in its second year of organization successfully produced two three-act plays. Director Jonathan W. Curvin capably filled the vacancy left by Mrs. Murray Bartlett and dramatics at Hobart still ranks high with other colleges in the counrty. Realizing that actors are merely the salesmen of a play, the Little Theater has emphasized not only acting but staff work w hich supplies the atmosphere and general background so necessary to a successful production. Opening the season in November, the Hobart Little Theatre, which combines both Hobart and William Smith, varied the usual fare of comedy and tragic-comedy and presented Valentine Kataev's communistic farce, Squaring the Circle' . Edward Partridge and Burtis Dougherty, both Juniors took the leading roles of Vaska and Abramchick; George Kemp, 38, led much of the humor of the play with his characterization of Emilian. the poet of the masses. Robert Watkins distinguished himself as the leader of the communist youth move- ment in the part of Flavius. Carol Lewis and Grace Brickman of William Smith capably filled the female leads as Ludmilla and Tonka. U4 Little Theatre Later in the season on March ib, 17, the group's efforts came to a climax when an efficient cast presented Sidney Howard’s Broadway success. The Late Christopher Bean Laugh ter was the keynote of the play and the performance gave increased evidence of the progress of the Little Theater toward professional standards. The play met w ith such great approval that it is scheduled to he repeated on Alumni Day. George Kemp as “Dr. Haggett , the blustering physician, did an excellent job and Margaret Allen show ed real dramatic ability as the middle aged domestic servant of the Haggett family. Others in the play were Elon Eaton, '37, Jack Henry, '38, John Bruce, 38, and Francis Hodge, 39, of Hobart and Lois Caddick, Jane Leonard and Patricia Pettibone of William Smith. Much new talent for the Little Theater was uncovered in the Freshman Tryouts w hich took the form of three one-act plays. These plays were under the student direction of Merrill Roenke, Jack Courage, Grace Brickman, Margaret Allen, Clara Sherman, Patricia Petti- bone and Margaret Luongo. The dramatic season at Hobart closed when the members of the dramatic expression and play production classes presented a group of distinguished one-act plays: The Eldest , a drama of American life by Edna Ferber; How He Lied to Her Husband , a farce by Bern- ard Shaw ; and The Soul of a Professor , by the late Professor Martin Sampson, head of the English department of Cornell University. '45 Debate With several veterans reporting for debate supplemented by a number of able new men, varsity debate coach John G. Van Deusen, began his seventh year as coach of the Hobart debate team The schedule outlined for the squad was one of the most ambitious attempted in recent years. As usual there were several newcomers to the schedule foremost among which was Bates College, of Lewiston, Maine, who had several times won the national championship. I he first semester was spent in preparing the question. Resolved: That the teachers oath law as required in the State of New York is desirable. Two non-decision debates w ith Wil- liam Smith and Keuka Colleges w ere scheduled and in both cases the Hobart team upheld the affirmative side of the question Coach Van Deusen used the two encounters to test his new men. During the second semester the team debated the Pi Kappa Delta question, Resolved: 1 hat Congress should be empowered to fix minimum w ages and maximum hours for in- dustry. As the Echo goes to press the varsity had taken part in ten debates, five of which were non-decision affairs. In the five decision debates Hobart came out on top on three oc- casions and dropped two decisions: winning from the universities of Buffalo, Dayton, and Alfred, and losing to Syracuse and Fordham The teams met in non-decision tilts were Rutgers, Elmira, Allegheny. Keuka, and a colored team representing Le Moyne College, of Memphis, Tennessee. Ut' Debate The outstanding event of the season took place April 14-19 inclusive, w hen a Hobart team traveled through New England meeting enroute such teams as New York State Teachers College, Skidmore, Middlebury College, University of Vermont, and Bates College. As in former years the team engaged in one radio debate over WHAM. Rochester, on the evening of April 10, w ith Colgate upholding the affirmative side of the minimum w age ques- tion A second radio debate over WSYR was under consideration as the Echo went to press, but had not been definitely scheduled. The team debated under many systems this year, such as the critic judge type, the Oregon system, and the change of opinion decision. The latter was inaugurated in the debate against Alfred University. Ballots were passed out to members of the audience before the debate to register their opinion, and then again after the debate to register the change in opinion The team getting the most people to change their minds was declared the winner and in this case Hobart won. Assisting Coach Van Deusen this year was Allan W Burleson, a member of the English department, and an experienced debater. George A. Kemp, AS. served as the manager of the team this year, and George Hull, A8. served as debate captain. Back row; Keith. Grandin Burleson. Browne. Eldred. Garvin.

In addition to playing at all the home football, the Band also played at two out of town games: namely the traditional Rochester and Buffalo battles. At Rochester the Band co-operated with the Eastman School of Music unit in a formation celebrating the inauguration of Hobart’s new president The most spectacular formation was made when the big Rochester unit formed a large heart with an “R in it, and the Ho- bart unit pierced the heart w ith an arrow and formed an H” within the heart to symbolize the friendly relations between these two sister institutions of Western New York Several new marching pieces w ere presented by the Band this year, foremost among which were The Leathernecks March and “The Hundred Pipers , the latter of which received a great deal of favorable comment.

Organized as a four page leaflet, the Echo has grown in size until in recent years editions have run as high as two hundred and fifty pages. In presenting this, the seventy-fifth volume of the Echo, we have tried to present to the student body a yearbook worthy of the traditions of the past, and above all—worthy of the class it represents. As in former years w e confronted problems common to all yearbook staffs. Lofty ideals had to be made to fit in with economic realities However, we have tried to improve the 1938 edition in so far as possible. What success this volume may claim is due in a very large measure to the co-operation of the staff and of the advertisers whose advertisements appear at the rear of this book.

Originally founded as a monthly periodical, the Herald has been published weekly since 1913. It reports the events of the college year through a staff of student reporters, who may earn the title of reporter after one year of voluntary work in such capacity. The Herald affords an opportunity for the expression of student opinion in its columns by means of letters to the editor. The staff is comprised of three main departments—Editorial. Mechanical, and Business. Any student may compete for a position in any one of the three departments. By this selective process the merit of the candidates may be sufficiently determined to insure a competent staff. Appointments are made each spring by the retiring editor-in-chief. Frederic C. Downing, this year's editor, appointed George A. Kemp as his successor for the coming year. Student Handbook ▲ ▲ ▲ The Student Handbook, or the “H Book, as it is more commonly called, is published each year by the Junior Class, with the purpose of acquainting the new students with Hobart traditions. Included in the hook is information about the campus, thecitv, college societies, fraternities, organizations, athletics, and the all-important Freshman regulations. Last year the “H Book was prepared and edited by Frederic C. Downing and John C. Donaker. The Freshman disciplinarian was Frederick J.
