Western Civ tecture. Cose Auditorium THEME To ri'Af’.ii men lo live, not merely to make a living. That is the aim of ihc Hobart curric- ulum. The History and Literature ol Western Civilization forms the backbone of that curric- ulum. For the past four years, the Class ol 1950 has been thoroughly exposed to that approach. Some have appreciated and enjoyed if. some disap- proved. But that is not the point. Western Civ lias had its effect upon each of us. It has entered into our conversations. It has made us think. It has been very much a part of our college life. The Echo of the Seneca is a record of that same college lile. In portraying it wc have selected but one phase of the study of Western Civilization, and carried it through the book. Just as this cur- riculum has permeated and influenced our days at Hobart, so may the quotations and symbols running through these pages recall the high ideals and achievements of Greek culture, that they may continue to serve as a challenge for our generation. Thus, from the architecture of the first picture, through to the final quotation, we present the Per- sonalities. the Societies, the Activities, and the Athletics that tell the story of Hobart in 1950. In the words of Thucydides, we present it not as an essay for the applause ol the moment, but as a possession for all time.
