GENEVA, NEW YORK TPt um5 yk the Senec A LEGEND Ml ■t (psr zi n:: U NAMA VVv 'SA NA 'N S AA Jtfr€ 4 f I 111 I I � 1« r” til In ancient times, 'tis said, fhe Spirit Blessed this land; and so we hear it Oft today, his hand print stayed. Endowed the haven he had made, With lakes and rivers, fertile land, Marked by his majestic hand; And in the furrows left by fingers Mighty beyond dream, there lingers Water deep and crystal blue, Reflecting back the heaven's hue. Between the hills of vernal wood; Where oak and elm and white birch stood— Before the coming of the white; In the redskin's years of might, Twas here, according to their scribes. The great Six Nations ruled their tribes. Each year ere the cornsilk browned, In solemn council they sat 'round. The chieftains of each separate clan Would gather to discuss their plan. And among them there was one, Who, when the chieftains each had done. Would rise and speak of future years. Of future crops and hopes and fears Of which the gods told him alone: To him their secrets they made known. And one year when the sachems, grave O'er withered crops they could not save From blight unknown, unseen before. Sat 'round the fire and said no more; The prophet rose and raised his hand, And with sadness did demand That they attend his sorrowful word. And thus he spoke, and this they heard: Oh Sachems of the great Six Clans: I have heard the Spirit’s plans, And they foretell a harder blow Than crops which now are withered so. Full many moons have passed and gone, And still our tribes are living on. You, who Seneca are named. For peaceful prowess are you famed. For rolling hills and crystal lake And for the festivals you make. Yet have I seen, and do foretell. That all with you will not be well. The withering of your corn now Is but sad prophecy of how Your tribe, ere eighteen moons are passed, Will be beyond the sun at last. A horde of tyrants, white of skin. And cruel as hawks are coming in. With tomahawks of shiny stone, Harder far than bear’s jawbone: With hollow sticks that flash and roar And hurl small stones and kill far more In one short breath than your swift bows, That are the best the redskin knows. They’ 11 kill the braves and steal the squaws And deal destruction without pause. These men are of a bloody race Who come to bring this sad disgrace. Kan'dasaga's funeral drums Will mourn until the echo comes From Akendaia and Kashong. And rolling it will speed along Through vales deserted, teepees burned, O'er wooded hills, through gullies ferned. And never will this booming cease. The white men never will have peace From grim reminder of their sin. For oft the drums’ returning din Will come again to smite their ears. Even in long distant years: For mighty Seneca, that lake, Which is the redskin's home, will take And keep this sound for other men, Who will build homes beyond our ken. Will ne’er forget the death and fire They brought, and so her lasting ire Will vent itself, ere leaf-drop comes. In roaring of the funeral drums. So echoing down a million moons And through a hundred million noons. Until the sun sets in the north, The Seneca Drums will echo forth. And though in time we be forgot, The Echo of the Senecas will not. And so the prophet bowed his head In mourning for the coming dead. Turned westward toward the setting sun To 'wait the future and be done. So, as he spoke, the future passed. The Senecas were gone at last. But still today the great lake's boom Saddens some who know the doom, The history of that glorious clan. Their place was taken by white man, Whose cities tower by the lake, Whose hands defiled each field and brake. Lest we forget these noble men. Drums of the Seneca, echo again . . .

SIGMA P H I 624 SOUTH MAIN STREET DELTA OF NEW YORK THE DELTA CHAPTER OF SIGMA PHI was founded in August, 1840. The Hcbart chapter was the second Greek letter society to be established here, being preceded by Alpha Delta Phi by several months. Charles C. Brown, Charles G. Brundige, Albert G. Hemingway, John P. MacGregor, William H. Watson, and the Reverend Francis Beverage were the charter members. In spite of the reduction in its membership during the war periods, the chapter has never been forced to discontinue. Together with Kappa Alpha and Delta Phi, Sigma Phi forms the “Union Triad’’ out of which has arisen the pattern of the American college fraternity system. 74 UNDERGRADUATE MEMBERS SENIORS E.

Two Hobart men, McDonald and Stevens, were initiated there on November 26, 1844 and returned to organize the Beta Chapter of Kappa Alpha. Because of the intervention of the Civil War and the attendant drop in the enrollment of the college, the charter was withdrawn in 1854: but on June 16, 1879, seven men were initiated at Cornell and returned to form the present chapter, continuously active since then. Kappa Alpha, Sigma Phi, and Delta Phi of the “Union Triad” have been the pattern for the establishment of our American college fraternity system. 76 UNDERGRADUATE MEMBERS SENIORS Thomas M.

The first chapter was established at Union in 1847. Colonel William Logie transferred from Hobart to Union and there became a member of the original chapter. He interested his Hobart friends in the fraternity and was instrumental in the granting of the petition which led to the establishment of the XI Charge at Hobart in 1857. Logie and another brother from Union journeyed to Geneva to initiate the nine charter members of XI Charge: Barclay, Brooks, Goodrich, Handerson, Moss, Rundle, Smith and Yawger. 78 UNDERGRADUATE MEMBERS John H.

The Reverend William P. Kemper, a Sigma Chi from the University of Wisconsin, transferred to Hobart and became ac- quainted with a group of men who formed the nucleus of the new chapter. He, with the aid of George C. Furdy of Cornell, obtained a charter for the Hobart men and Huntington, Leach, Lockton, Phillips, Russell, Scott, Seymour and Strassenburg were initiated as charter members. Sigma Chi, Beta Theta Pi and Phi Delta Theta form the “Miami Triad” which was a later group at Miami University not unlike the triad at Union. 80 UNDERGRADUATE MEMBERS Warren W.

DRUID SENIOR HONORARY SOCIETY Boot ay THERE IS no event during the college year that is more moving or more impressive than those few moments at the close of Chapel on Moving-Up Day when the Junior class files silently out between the double ranks of Seniors. At least three of their number will receive the traditional honor of Druid and the rest of the students wait quietly and expectantly for the Druids of the outgoing class to step forward and pin the yellow pledge ribbons on the coats of their chosen successors. Election to the Druid Society is the highest and most desired honor that can be conferred on a Hobart undergraduate. These men, who number no less than three nor more than five, are the most outstanding men on the campus from the standpoint of leadership and service to Hobart. On Moving-Up Day last Spring the men who were elected to the Druid Society were Robert Starr Bootay. William Archibald Dickson, and Donald Robert Harter. 88 Dickson Harter THIS YEAR’S DRUIDS ROBERT S. BOOTAY, a member of Sigma Chi, has distinguished himself on the lacrosse field and basketball court as well as in the classroom. He is captain of the 1939 basketball and lacrosse teams, President of the Sigma Chi fraternity, Student Vice-President of the Board of Control, Vice-President of his class, and Ex-president of Orange Key. Among other activities he is a member of the Science Club, Owl Club, Kappa Beta Phi, and Chimera. WILLIAM A. DICKSON, a member of Phi Phi Delta, has been outstanding in all three of Hobart’s major sports and was captain of the 1938 football team. In spite of his wide extracurricular activ- ities he has maintained an enviable scholastic record and is a member of Chimera, Science Club, and Epsilon Pi Sigma.

How- ever, not only is he one of the most able coaches Hobart has ever had, but he has also built up an admirable health service for the college. “Speed's” attention is not confined exclusively to the in- tercollegiate sports, however, for he is an ardent fisherman and an able bridge player. From these activities he also finds time to spend in his favorite circle of friends — his family. � } A p r COACH FRANCIS LUCAS KRAUS THE FINEST lacrosse teams that have upheld the honor of Hobart have been under “Babe’s” tutelage. His athletic diversity during his under- graduate years, and his interest in all sports have made him outstanding in his position as Hobart’s director of athletics. From his post at the window of his office in Williams Hall he keeps in close touch with all campus activities. Under a calm, unassuming, almost lackadaisical exterior “Babe” hides an active appreciation of art, real executive ability, and an intense interest in the wel- fare of his boys. Noted for his collection of large pipes, carved elephants, and avoirdupois; everything is great about this man, even his modesty.

The cancellation of the Amherst game proved ill for the poorly scrimmaging varsity who subsequently bowed their heads to Norwich. However, the morale of the team, righted by the ever-driving determination of ‘ Speed” and his new and able line-coach “Bing” Miller, set the team firmly on its feet to find itself at Rochester’s doorstep with two ties—Hamilton and Trinity, and a victory over Kenyon. What followed will never be forgotten in Hobart football history: a 40-0 victory over Rochester. 101 NORWICH With the scheduled Amherst game cancelled due to the lack of transportation caused by the New England hurricane and floods, the untried Statesmen were hopelessly out- classed by the Horsemen of Norwich University from Vermont. The opponents showed superior playing in every phase of the game and inflicted a punishment of 20-0 on the uninspired Orange and Purple gridders. The Statesmen being unfamiliar with many of their teammates and the lack of experience of the sophomores accounted for the weak line and the slow backfield of the Hobart eleven. HAMILTON The first out-of-town game found the Statesmen at Clinton with a firm determination to rule the roost and make up for the unforgotten defeat forced on them by Norwich. In the first quarter Cotrone powered his way across the goal line for the first score of the season. It was not until the last quarter that another score was made by Ferris. This score was immediately matched and exceeded by the Clinton team who finally tied the game at 13-13. Both teams used an aerial offense but it was of little avail to either. TRINITY For nearly three quarters, an inspired Orange and Purple team showed the Home- Comers a type of play that they had given promise of all season. Runs by Ferris and Popal- isky clicked; passes by Sutterby were completed; and near the close of the third quarter the Statesmen, with a six point lead, were on the Trinity twenty-three yard line with a first down. Ferris threw a flat pass intended for Dickson, but it was intercepted by a Trinity back who outran the entire Hobart team for Trinity’s first and only touchdown. The game ended with fate insisting on another tie. KENYON Hobart started its winning streak by defeating Kenyon 19-13 in what proved to be a trying game for the team with a tie-jinx. Two spectacular passes from Ferris to Silver in the first half resulted in a 13-0 lead. Two successive fumbles by Hobart were picked up by Kenyon who succeeded in marching down the field for touchdowns with both of them. A fumble in the backfield by Kenyon, recovered by Dickinson, set the stage for the de- ciding Hobart score. The end of the game found a much happier and inspired Hobart team running off the field. ROCHESTER The Statesmen arrived at the Rochester stadium as the underdog having only tied a Clinton team that Rochester had overwhelmed. But after a short march down the field by the Yellow Jackets, the Rochester team received a defeat that will go down in the annals of New York football as one of the most crushing Hobart victories ever inflicted upon a supposedly superior Rochester team. Led by Dickson and Ferris, the Orange and Purple scored time after time and marched off the field credited with superior playing that shall never be forgotten. BUFFALO During the first three quarters of this last game of the season the Bisons continually threatened to push the ball over the goal line. Victory, however, was not in the books for the home team, for in the fourth quarter the Statesmen commenced to roll and brought in the three winning touchdowns and one extra point. This brought the season to a close with another victory which was perhaps most exciting due to the doubtful outcome of the game during the first three quarters because of the Bison’s desperate efforts to overcome their previous 52-2 loss to the Statesmen.

In only one of these was there more than a six point margin against them. From the very first game against Seton Hall up to the last minute of the Buffalo struggle, the Statesmen fought every minute of every game. Although crippled just after the season opened by the loss of Captain “Boots”, the team’s other veterans made up for the deficiency. The sophomores showed up well in some of the most exciting contests ever held in Williams Hall, and gave promise of greater things to come. 105 SETON HALL The 1939 basketball season opened on January 20 with a thrilling contest against Seton Hall College of South Orange, New Jersey. The game was played before a capacity crowd, with the varsity handicapped from the opening whistle by the height of the opponent’s center. Despite the stellar play of Dickson and Bootay under the basket, and the accurate shooting of Welker, Ferris and Dobbin, the towering giant of the Seton Hall team gave them an overwhelming advantage. However, the contest remained very close throughout, Seton Hall having but a one point lead at half time. The final score of 46-40 gave the game to the South Orange team, but also revealed the potentiality of the Statesmen. OBERLIN Oberlin invaded the campus on February 3, with a reputedly powerful team, and left with that reputation slightly tarnished. Popalisky led the scoring with 15 points, just five ahead of Dick Ferris. The lead changed hands many times during the first half, which ended with a one point advantage for the visitors. At the start of the second half however, Hobart rallied and scored enough points to prevent a last minute threat by Oberlin from becoming dangerous. This second game, and first win, closed with a score of 50-46, advantage Hobart. HAMILTON Hobart left their home stamping grounds for the first time in the 1939 season to defeat a Hamilton five at Clinton by the close score of 34-33. Sloppy playing by both teams characterized the first half, but the second half witnessed a complete recovery. Welker showed his prowess as a sharp shooter by garnering the high total of 12 points and was the spark-plug of the team throughout the contest. Bootay’s height under the basket was also an important factor in the second victory for the Statesmen. who suffered an appendectomy the day before the game. Despite this severe loss, the varsity came through to win by the score of 44-33, again paced by the playing of Hank Welker. Dick Ferris, who was also out of the game due to a back injury was ably replaced by George Britt who played his first game of the season. The fighting Kent State five was outplayed from the start, and at no time was the outcome in doubt. ROCHESTER Facing a “hot” Rochester team on the Palestra Court on February 11, the varsity suffered a bad slump. As far as Hobart was concerned the rim might just as well have been painted on the wall, while the Yellowjackets flicked them in from all angles. Rochester’s huge court had the Statesmen buffaloed, and the strong Rochester quintet had little difficulty in piercing the zone defense for close-up shots. Foul shots were a big factor in the Rochester victory, since they scored a total of 21 out of 27. The final score of 53-21 showed that it was Rochester’s “on” night, and that Hobart was “off”. HARTWICK A rejuvenated Statesmen quintet met and de- feated a powerful Hartwick team on February 14, by the narrow margin of 2 points; the final score was 42-40. Ferris, Popalisky, and Welker headed the Hobart attack, ably backed by acting Captain Dickson and Sam Clemens who did stellar work on defense. The thrilling see-saw scoring kept the spectators on their feet all the second half, and the outcome of the game was in doubt up to the final seconds. But by playing an entirely different brand of ball than that which cost them the Rochester game, the varsity came through with a well earned victory. KENT STATE Hobart entered the Kent State game on February 9 minus the valuable services of Captain Bootay, 106 ROCHESTER I I I MC MASTER An unknown quantity in the person of a Me- Master team from Canada entered the Williams Hal! court on February 17, and proved that even though they were unknown they were still a threat. The varsity had a battle on their hands to subdue the Canadian five by a score of 35-30. Ferris’s 16 points kept the Statesmen ahead, but the fine team-play of the McMaster outfit kept them in the running all the way. Their late rally failed to top the varsity total, and Hobart came off with their fourth win of the season. BUFFALO The Buffalo-Hobart series opened at Geneva, with the Bisons putting up unusually strong opposition. Bill Dickson showed his shooting eye for the first time of the season to score five field goals, shoring top scoring honors with Ferris. From the opening whistle up to the last minutes of the second half the contest was very close, but in the closing minutes the varsity put on a scoring spurt hat put the game on ice. The final score of 42-29 gave the Big Orange their fifth win, and offered encouragement for the rest of the season. BARD A courageous Bard College team met the varsity on the Hobart court and went down to an over- whelming, but not inglorious, defeat of 39-25. The first string of the Statesmen saw the game from the sice-lines, while the strong reserve quint showed that they were perfectly capable of playing an outstanding brand of basketball. Sam Clemens and Kenny Leader were co-stars against an inexperienced but fighting Bard five. The one-sided victory, the sixth of the season, gave great promise for the coining contest with the traditional Rochester rivals. Despite a brilliant battle the Statesmen lost by a very slight margin to their powerful opponents from the University of Rochester. Acting Captain Bill Dickson played the best game of his college career, as the two teams vied to hold the lead at half time. Popalisky showed his worth under fire and kept the Rochester goal hot with his many scores. But the deadly accuracy of Ultrech and Collett kept Rochester in the lead despite a last minute spurt by the Statesmen. The final whistle found the Yellow Jackets ahead by the slim margin of four points with a total score of 47 to Hobart’s 43. HAMILTON The return engagement with the Hamilton quint on the Hobart court proved to be a thriller from start to finish in spite of the fact that the Con- tinentals nosed out the varsity 55-53. Rotation scoring kept the two teams even in the tally column up to the final seconds of the game, when Forbush got two in quick succession to put the visitors out in front. Welker, Popalisky and Dickson were outstanding for the varsity in a close game with a disappointing conclusion. BUFFALO The Statesmen ended the season on the Buffalo home court March fourth in a blaze of glory. In a game that featured play of the finest type, George Britt clinched the victory by a long shot in the closing seconds of the game which put the Statesmen two points ahead, 39-37. Dick Ferris played his usual outstanding game, and took the lead in scoring with 13 points. This victory gave Hobart the eighth of the season, and was a satisfying conclusion to the best season in the history of basketball at Hobart.

Winship. 1938 LACROSSE SEASON With the first signs of Spring, in early March, the members of the Statesmen’s lacrosse team commenced training in preparation for a schedule which again included those two traditional rivals, Cornell and Syracuse. Under the capable guidance of Coach ‘ Babe” Kraus, the task of building up a strong team did not prove to be a difficult one. Regardless of the much-felt loss of All-American Carl Ferris and Frank Rose, such veterans as Ferris, Dobbin, Bootay, Bender, Henry, and Dougherty, ably headed by Captain ‘'Nick” lorio, succeeded in finishing the season as the first undefeated and untied team in the forty-one year history of lacrosse at Hobart. 109 CORNELL The Statesmen opened their lacrosse season with an early score and dominated the entire game. The untried stickmen came through with flying colors and a show of ability not to be expected in the first game of the season. Bootay tallied first and Captain Iorio, Ferris, and Bender soon made four more goals with a fast offense. The score stood at 5-2 in favor of the Orange at half time. The first section of the second half saw the Red defense men standing by helpless while the Hobart attacks’ quick passwork rolled the score up. However, in the final quarter the untried team began to slow up, especially in picking up the loose ball from the field, and were less accurate in their stick work. However, this was not at all disappointing in the opening game of the season and in consideration of the action in the previous three quarters of play. The final score of 9-4 proved the superior playing of the Statesmen. UNION The first home game of the season started off rapidly before a large Spring Week-end crowd. Captain Iorio tossed in a goal in the opening minutes and from there on it was merely a matter of how high the big Orange wanted to run the Dougherty score. The Hobart stickmen showed much improvement over the previous game, especially in the defense which clicked most effectively with Henry, Babcock, and Grygiel helping Dougherty to make nine saves. All the goalies had a chance in the game after the first string netman was laid out by a loose ball bouncing off the goal frame. Bootay and Bender kept the invaders’ goal tender in hot water all during the game with assists by Captain Iorio, Dickson, and Dobbin. Ferris also came in for his share of the scoring credit. This game marked an upswing in the success of the Statesmen’s stick handlers. SYRACUSE The first few minutes of this Boswell field game were unexciting as the two teams felt each other out. The Statesmen gained the first score but the invaders promptly tied this and soon had the upper hand. A worried Hobart cheering section watched the team file off at the half with our old rivals ahead 5-2. As the second half opened the boys came out with a determined and well executed offensive drive. The score was soon tied by three Hobart goals in quick succe ;sion. Captain Iorio’s clever attack and his continu- ous winnings of the draw kept the Statesmen encouraged. However, the opponents fought equally well and scored again in the third quarter to take the lead. They added another goal by a successful attack but Hobart s men rallied desperately and managed to tie the score by the end of the quarter. The overtime period was all the home team’s and scores by Dobbin and Bootay gave Hobart a 9-7 victory over their closely matched rivals. Babcock Bender Capt.-Elect Bootay and Dickson COLGATE Playing on hostile soil proved to be an incentive rather than a hindrance for the Statesmen, and Bender, in 32 seconds of play, took a pass from Bowling to score the first goal of the contest. From then on the Statesmen led all the way. Dougher- ty, well on the way to a shut out, was relieved and the Colgate lacrossers subse- quently succeeded in driving several goals into the Hobart net. Although Fcrri3 and Dobbin both earned four goal3 by their expert shooting, it turned out to be Bender’s day as the flashy attack successfully penetrated the Colgate defense for six goals. Hobart led at the final whistle 18-5. SPRINGFIELD Still mindful of their triumphant victory over Colgate, a fast moving and aggres- sive Hobart lacrosse team trounced Springfield 21-8. The Statesmen scored almost at will throughout the entire four quarters and Bryan, the scrappy Springfield goalie who succeeded in making nineteen saves, was the busiest man in the game. The Springfield lacrosse men, playing well out of their league, nobly attempted to defend their goal against a team superior in every department of the game. Ferris led the scoring with seven goals while Dobbin, with one minute left to play, brought the game to a dramatic close by scoring four goals. TUFTS The first quarter of this final game promised little with no scoring on the part of either team, but during the second period Dobbin and Ferris commenced to click with constant scoring. During this half the tenseness of the team, squeezing for a final victory to make an undefeated season, resulted in much wild passing and erratic playing. However,a 10-0 lead for the Statesmen stood on the scoreboard at half-time. Coach “Babe” Kraus paid tribute to those who were playing their last game for Hobart by starting the second half with a team made up entirely of seniors. Two of the five goals scored in the third quarter were made by “Goalie” Dougherty as the only scores of his varsity career. Henry, Babcock, and Bender finished off their lacrosse careers with their usual brand of expert stick handling. Four more tallies in the final quarter rounded out Hobart’s most successful lacrosse season with a 19-0 victory, which was the 11th straight victory in lacrosse for Hobart. Bawling Ferris and Dobbin Grygiel Henry MINOR SPORTS OUTING CLUB Hobart’s newly formed ski team broke into the intercollegiate skiing world this year in a very formidable manner. In the Hamilton meet on February 4. the team as a whole placed second with the score consider- ably boosted by Charlie Armstrong’s victory in the downhill race. In the New York State Intercollegiate Ski Association meet at Ithaca, the team ranked fourth among the eight competing groups. The highlight of the meet for Hobart was the cross- country race which was won by Warren Fowler, making him New York State cross-country champ. Plans have been laid for participation in more meets next year, and a new sport has made a very successful start at Hobart. GOLF The Golf Team under their coach, the Reverend Irving McGrew, started off the 1938 season with the loss of two matches; one to Rochester, and the second to Buffalo. Farrington and Grygiel gained most of the few Hobart points during the season with the assistance of the other mem- bers of the team. Those who also saw service were Foley, Henry, Rogan, Nichols and Pendleton. The practice received during the season may prove useful in the matches this spring. TENNIS On April 28, 1938, the Hobart Tennis Team opened its season against Rochester. The team, led by Captain Calladine did not fare so well against the more experienced, more thoroughly trained Rochester squad. Silver, Stainton, Gregory, and Smingler represented Hobart with some previous experience, but lack of adequate training. A better equipped Rochester team found it all too easy to take the victory from the Statesmen’s racket men. The following Saturday the squad traveled to Buffalo where they met Canisius and suffered another, though lesser, defeat. The team would undoubtedly have fared better if a few more of the good tennis men on the campus had stayed off “pro”. However, the experience gained may prove useful in this spring’s program. 112 FRESHMAN SPORTS FOOTBALL The season opened with Acquinas in Rochester. The frosh started slowly and at the end of the half were behind 12-0, but in the second period they came out fighting and scored twice to tie up the game. Acquinas however got another touchdown in the last minute of play to win. Against Manlius the frosh were outclassed by a prep school team that was as strong as most small college teams. Manlius had beaten the Colgate frosh and lost to the Cornell yearlings by only one point, and they were too powerful for the plucky Little Diploma's, who went down to a 37-0 defeat. Sparkling defensive play and the kicking of Newbury kept the Yellowjackets from scoring in the first half of the Rochester game. In the second half the frosh made use of a Rochester fumble and an interception to gain a 12 point lead. Rochester was only able to score once in the remaining minutes and the game ended 12-6, in our favor. BASKETBALL With “Chink” Babcock as coach, the frosh Lost only to a powerful Manlius team and to the Rochester frosh on the huge Palestra court. The season opened when the Koolmotors team, previously unbeaten in 18 starts, lost as the score- keeper registered a 27-25 verdict in favor of Hobart. At Rochester for the second game, they played brilliantly in the first half, but couldn’t get roll- ing in the second, losing 28-15. Next, Kappa Sigma, unbeaten in intramural basketball, was bowled over 46-29, showing the superior condition and training of the yearlings. Their best form of the season was shewn when the frosh downed Genesee Wesleyan Seminary 40-19. Very sloppy ball handling marked the yearling’s appearance against Phi Phi Delta, but they eked out a 29-23 decision. Hobart did exceptionally well to hold down Manlius to their 48-38 victory. Manlius, one of the best prep school teams in the East, had twice defeated Colgate freshmen, scoring over 60 points in each game. When the U. of R. frosh journeyed to Geneva, they returned home with a 32-25 loss. Scrappy ball playing and good passing netted Hobart frosh a well deserved victory. A very successful season was brought to a close as Cook Academy was trounced 42-31 on the local court. LACROSSE Freshman lacrosse opened with a decisive 15-4 victory over Gow School stickmen. The yearlings started fast, built up an early lead, and complete- ly dominated the play during the entire game. Against the Syracuse frosh, the team struggled in a drizzling rain to overcome the disadvantage of inexperience, finally losing 7-2. The Syracuse defense was able to hold off the Hobart attack except for solo dashes by Welker and Hoffman through the entire defense. The final game for the frosh came as they traveled to Ithaca to take a 10-8 decision from the Cornell frosh. The game was hard fought and good stick work was shown by both sides. 113 Leader.

ECHO OF THE SENECA % Townsend THE ECHO OF THE SENECA was first published thirty-six years after the founding of Hobart College and was named after the Indian Lake Drums which echo on Seneca Lake. It has been pub- lished annually except for those years when the enrollment of the college was so depleted by war that publication was impossible. The Junior Class elects the staff from among its members to chronicle the activities and achievements of the college students during the year. 118 Spears STAFF PAUL B.

It enjoys, also, the reputation of being one of the oldest collegiate papers in the United States. Published every Thursday, the Herald is a liberal medium for searching out student comment and opinion. A new column, revised makeup, special weekly features, and several special issues made this year an outstanding one for the Murphy Herald. 121 Harter Hodge HOBART BAND OFFICERS President Vice-President Board of Directors Manager Drum Major Conductor Drill Sergeant STANLEY P.

McCUMBER THOMAS COMISKY THE HOBART BAND, formerly active only during the football season, was active this year throughout both semesters. The marching band of forty-two pieces, though smaller in size than some bands of former years, performed excellently at all home football games and at Rochester and Buffalo, adding no small part to the enthusiasm evident at the games. At Rochester, where the rivalry between the bands has become as keen as that between the teams, the band outmarched its “opponents”, displaying more military precision than the Rochester band. Using flank movements an “H” was formed in front of the Hobart stands and its position was marked by rings of orange and purple confetti around the feet of each player. Similarly, an R” was formed before the Rochester stands and marked with yellow confetti, the letters so formed remaining on the field throughout the second half of the game. After the football season a concert unit was formed, in which a great deal of interest was shown, and which figured in several functions during the spring. This year, for the first time, college letters were awarded to the members of the band who had served three years, and freshmen members received their numerals on a special mounting. Fifteen men were given their numerals, nine men were awarded their letters and four received the senior gold key. 122 LITTLE “THE LIFE OF Mr. John Doe Mrs. Doe John Doe The Girl John Doe Jr Teacher Doctor Laborer Minister Death JOHN DOE” Joseph G.

Sterling “THE MEDICINE SHOW” IN ORDER to vary the customary fare of three act plays and to provide an opportunity for the freshmen to try their ability in short productions, the Little Theater under the direction of Professor Jonathan Curvin opened the 1938-1939 season with three one-act plays. The Medicine Show, by Stuart Walker, was a study of the Mississippi River life of the old days, while Sir Arthur Pinero’s A Seat in the Park was a humorous comedy of English life. The third play was an im- pressionistic satire of modern life; The Life of John Doe, by Seymour Berkowitz. This play was later repeated at an all-college meet- ing to impress its unusual style upon the students. Luter The Doctor Ciz Lloyd J. Kirtland Edward W. Robinson E. John Enright OFFICERS GLEE CLUB ROBERT M. WATKINS CHARLES L. WILLMARTH MAURICE H. HOPSON WILLIAM F. HANKS HENRY W. MELLEN THE HOBART COLLEGE GLEE CLUB has enjoyed one of its best and busiest seasons. A series of several half-hour radio programs, sponsored by a local banking house, over Station WMBO, kept the ball rolling during the first semester. High points of the year were the joint concerts with Russell Sage College at Troy, the University of Rochester at Rochester, the Wells College Choir at Aurora and Geneva, and the Home Concert on March twenty-first which enlisted the services of the William Smith Choral Club and the College Sinfonia in a presentation of Bach’s Peasant Can- tata. This rarely heard work was also the “piece de resistance” on the Russell Sage and University of Rochester concerts. Another unfrequently performed work was sung on the Wells College Choir program; Die Sieben Worte Jesu Christ am Kreuz by Hein- rich Schutz. The String Orchestra also shared in this presentation. On April twenty-first the Club made its annual appearance at Saint Thomas Church in Rochester. The program was one of general appeal and included the Kyrie, Sanctus and Benedictus from Byrd’s Mass For Three Unequal Voices, sung in the original Latin; Brahm’s Song From The Ossian’s Fingal, scored for two male voices accom- panied by two French Horns and a harp; four songs of Finland and a novelty Jazz Epic by Joseph Wagner for male voices, clarinet, saxophone, trumpet, trombone and drum.

The major production of this season was Berkeley Square, by John Balderston. This play had a long and successful run on Broad- way and the screen with Leslie Howard in the leading role. The Little Theater pro- duction was a costly but highly successful one. The officers of the group this year were Francis R. Hodge, president; Horace N. Hubbs, treasurer and business manager; and Florence Hovey, secretary. Robert H. Ford, H. Edmond Wirtz, and Edward H. Wing Jr. made up the production staff. “BERKELEY SQUARE” Peter Standish .

GARVIN DEBATE THIS YEAR, with debating as a regular college course for the first time, there were many new faces added to the ranks. A number of veterans were back, in spite of a large loss due to graduation. With a large group to work with Coach John G. VanDeusen and Manager Lloyd J. Kirtland compiled a long, varied schedule of unusually able opponents. J. Russell Blandford was elected as captain for the first semester and when he graduated at the end of that time John G. Garvin was chosen to fill the vacancy. Continuing the work of last year, concerning questions pertinent to New York State, a group of six worked on the fifty-seven amendments proposed for the State Constitution. This group offered their services to organizations in nearby towns for the purpose of telling the people something about the questions they were to vote on in November. Over a period of less then three weeks this panel of six speakers, presenting the topics in a non- partisan manner, spoke twice in Geneva and Canandaigua, over Station WMBO in Auburn, WSAY in Rochester, and before various organizations in Seneca Falls, Lyons, Clifton Springs, Wolcott, Phelps, Clyde and Fairport. Two main questions were selected by the team this year. The topic used for the majority of the debates was the Pi Kappa Delta question, Resolved: That the United States should cease to use public funds (including credit ) for the purpose of stimulating business. An- other topic. Resolved: That the United States and Great Britain should establish an alliance, was not used as much, but provided many interesting discussions. Alfred Univer- 126 sity was debated on the subject, Resolved: That the United States should enact legisla- tion providing for a system of free medical care available to all citizens at public expense. As usual, following the home debates, entertainment was provided and a new idea was tried for a few of the debates. This consisted of fraternity sponsorship of the debate, in- cluding publicity, the furnishing of the chairman, refreshments and entertainment of some sort. The team participated in many different types of debate, such as: the Oregon style, panel discussions, forums, and both decision and non-decision formal debates. Many colleges on the schedule were old standbys and included such names as Boston Univer- sity, Vermont, Keuka, Wells, Rochester, Houghton, Alfred, Albany State Teachers and Bard College. As usual the high point of the year was reached when the team took its long trip, this time during the Spring Vacation. The journey covered New York, Ohio, Indiana and Michigan. The squad met eleven teams in ten days, starting with D’Youville in Buffalo on March twenty-third and then Case School of Applied Science, Oberlin, Detroit Univer- sity, Indiana, Ohio Wesleyan, Denison, Baldwin-Wallace, Western Reserve and Buffalo State Teachers College. Following this trip, in mid-April, the team spent several days in New York City and met college teams en route. The season came to a close at the New York State Convention which was held at Cornell University. 127 BACK ROW: Coach John G. VanDeusen. Newell, Robinson, Hay, Biddlecombe, Alison, J. Palmer.

Wiechert THE HOBART CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION, open to any student for membership regardless of religious sect, aims to promote and carry out the religious ideals of the stu- dents. As a departure from the former plan of bi-monthly meetings at the various frater- nity houses, small ‘ study groups” were organized to discuss problems of interest to the students. Several groups were organized with faculty members serving as leaders. Dr. T. S. K. Scott-Craig conducted a discussion on his recent book, Christian Attitudes to War and Peace: Dr. Albert P. VanDusen led a group in “Preparing for Marriage”; and the Chaplain met from time to time with the Pre-Theological students which made the third study group organized under the new plan. The association revived the tradition of a Freshman Party in the Fall to acquaint the new students of both colleges, and a Mid-Winter Formal Dance, both of which met with great social success. In cooperation with the Bishops’ Men of the Diocese of Rochester, a campaign was conducted on the campus to raise money for a special fund outlined by the Bishop. Once a week, during Lent, a series of chapel talks by the heads of the frater- nities, was sponsored by the association, together with the three weekly Compline Services conducted by the students. 128 INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS CLUB President . .

DUNN TO KEEP IN TOUCH with the fast-moving pageant of current domestic and foreign events, to study their significance and effects — that is the basic aim of Hobart’s Inter- national Relations Club. It is affiliated with the Carnegie Foundation for International Peace together with scores of similar organizations on other American campuses. Each Moving-Up Day the Club’s new members are pledged by the outgoing class, after a careful study of the material in the Freshmen class interested in such undertakings, and capable of participation. Initiations, followed by a banquet, are held each Fall. This year, as in former years, delegates were sent to model conventions and forums on nearby campuses. The theme topic this season was the League of Nations. Among its more notable programs this year were: an address by Dr. Edgar J. Sisher on “The New Significance of the Balkans”: a forum held with the William Smith Club on the subject of Anglo-American relations, with Hugh Sellon the guest; a debate by two faculty mem- bers on the issue of “The Monroe Doctrine”; and reports from convention delegates. In December the unit lost two of its ablest constituents by graduation — President J. Russell Blandford and Secretary Maurice G. Foulkes. 129 STANDING: Miller, R. Spears.

McCLARRAN IN ORDER THAT the large group of non-fraternity men may take a more active part in Hobart’s larger social life and extra-curricular activities, a small but energetic group of so-called neutrals conceived the idea of establishing the Neutral Organization late in the Spring of 1936. This organization has for its nominal membership all students of Hobart College who are not members or pledges of an active social fraternity. Although only three years old, the group has made considerable progress, and has succeeded in gaining the interest and effort of an ever increasing number of non-fraternity men as well as the whole-hearted cooperation of the fraternities. This year has evidenced an increasing growth in social, extra-curricular, and intramural activities. An open tea dance spring week-end, an open-house tea last Fall, numerous Vic- trola concerts, and an informal Victrola dance for both colleges, along with many other minor activities, have constituted the social season. The neutrals have as well been strongly represented in all intramural sports, and have consistently held the MacDaniels Cup for scholarship. The headquarters of the Neutral Body is located in Brent House which contains com- mon rooms, known as the Ballard Club Rooms: and this year Eaton House has been acquired to afford more upper-class neutrals with rooms on the campus. 130 U.

TOWNSEND IN 1925 the United States Marine Corps inaugurated a new plan for procuring suitable men for training for the Corps and its Reserve. Regular officers were selected to visit the colleges of the country whose standards were sufficiently satisfactory to warrant the attention of the Marine Corps Reserve. In 1937 Hobart was numbered in this list of colleges and five men were selected from the applicants to attend the Platoon Leaders Class, held for six consecutive weeks during the summer at Quantico, Virginia. Here, at the Eastern Marine Base, the students receive training in military discipline and tactics, leading to a commission as a Second Lieutenant in the United States Marine Corps or the Reserve. This opportunity is open to all sophomores of good scholastic standing and physical condition who are interested in military training in the smallest, most efficient branch of the United States military service. This year Hobart’s quota is five candidates and two alternates. 131 Weber. Blandford. Murphy, Grey. Bowker 6 6 3 1 (Our CHIEF Diversion) SUPPLEMENT POSTSCRIPT DIARY ADVERTISEMENTS APPRECIATION THEME THE THEME of this year’s Echo of the Seneca is the legend of the Indian Lake Drums which echo on Seneca Lake and from which the yearbook takes its name. Many dramatic tales have been told concerning the origin in Indian lore of the boom- ing sound in the lake, and many explanations advanced for its cause. For ‘ who has not heard, in the still summer eve, that deep booming sound which issues from Seneca's bosom, and rushes along from rock to rock, from shore to shore, dying away at length in low and smothered tones, as of distant thunder” without wondering about its mys- terious origin. In this volume we have presented an original and highly dramatic explanation. Other books have advanced different versions. The Legend was first published in Vol. II, Echo of the Seneca, published June, 1859 and this version was reprinted in the 1888 and 1905 yearbooks. According to this legend, a council was held long ago by the Sachems of the Seneca nation and it was decreed, in the name of Manito, that trout-fishing should be entirely refrained from during the spawning season. However, one young warrior declared the law unjust and that he, Aga-yeu-teh. would not obey it. So Aga-yeu-teh paddled out into the lake and stood proud and erect in his canoe. Then he dropped his line. As it touched the water’s edge a fearful crash was heard, and the rushing of a mighty blast; then all was silent as before. Soon, from the spot where the rash young brave had disappeared forever, a blackened mass arose and commenced moving in the direction from whence came peals of thunder. “Behold an example of the just vengeance of Heaven,’’ said the Sachem. “The voice of the Great Spirit is calling Aga-yeu-teh away. Doomed forever to float on the bosom of the Seneca, thus, when the voice of Manito is heard, must he always obey.” The Legend as printed in the '99 Echo of the Seneca is attributed to Galahodahs, the old Oneida chief, and tells of the story of Ygosahadahs, a Seneca warrior. The tale is that one day after killing a stag he was caught in a storm while carrying the body back to his campfire and sought shelter beneath a tall pine. “As he did so the clouds seemed to vomit forth all their wrath upon the earth; and a fiery shaft descending swiftly blasted tree and man hurling them together down the cliff into the lake.” And the great dull boom of muffled thunder that is still heard is the voice of the great warrior Ygosahadahs, whose body, melted into one black mass with the tree trunk, still drifts on the lake, driven by wind and current.” The version printed in 1896 is similar to this one, the only difference being that the name is changed to Agayentah, the tree is an oak instead of a pine, and the “echo of the Seneca is Agayentah’s battle shout which still resounds over the lake. 134 DEDICATION THE 1940 Echo of the Seneca has been dedicated to the men who have participated in the life on the shores of our beautiful lake and have listened to and wondered at the sound of her drums. Of this cavalcade of Indians, Soldiers, Settlers. Churchmen, and Scholars we have chosen four outstanding men to be portrayed in the drum beats of the Senecas: CHIEF REDJACKET . . . last great leader of the Seneca tribe and master spirit of the Six Nations. His name, Sa-go-ye-wat-ha, meaning he keeps them awake” char- acterizes his leadership of the councils between the Six Nations and the new independent government of the thirteen states. His English name was obtained through a compliment paid him by an army officer who gave him a red military coat. Chief Redjacket is described by General Porter as an unsurpassed orator, an able and courageous warrior, and an artist of no mean ability.” During his rule he consistently resisted the Christianizing and civilizing of the Six Nations and desired them to return to their pagan traditions, MAJOR GENERAL JOHN SULLIVAN . . . leader of the expedition which destroyed the Indian power in this region and opened it to settlement. He served under Washington and was ordered by him in 1779 to put down the Indian insurrections in this locality and to totally devastate the settlements of the Six Nations. With his unquestioned courage and skill he carried out these orders and later received the criticism of many for his apparent cruelty. Due to the rigorousness of this expedition General Sullivan was forced to retire after winning the great thanks of the President and Congress for his faithful execution of the difficult orders issued him. BISHOP JOHN HENRY HOBART . . . representative of the Church in a pioneer region and founder of Hobart College. Educated at the University of Pennsylvania and the College of New Jersey, Bishop Hobart was for many years in charge of Trinity Church in New York City and on the faculty of General Theological Seminary. During most of his career he was a trustee of Columbia University and was always greatly interested in the education of the Indian population in the western portion of the state. It was through his efforts that the Geneva Academy and the Fairfield Theological School were combined in the years between 1818 and 1821 to form Hobart College. DR. WILLIAM ALFRED EDDY . . . fifteenth president of Hobart College. Educated at Wooster College and Princeton University, President Eddy has served as soldier, scholar, teacher, and administrator. During the World War he was an intelligence officer with the United States Marine Corps. Coming to us from his position as Professor in the English Department at Dartmouth, President Eddy in a few short years has estab- lished the reputation of Hobart College as one of the most progressive small colleges in the country. 135 HOBART COLLEGE GENEVA, NEW YORK A College of Liberal Arts . rounded 1X21 • This College, oftering four-year courses leading to the A.B. and B.S.
