DEDICATION From the punch-bowl on Spring-Weekend to Boswell Bowl on Fall Weekend, Li l Arthur Kenney has been as much a necessity as the punch or the football. He has watched genera- tions of Hobart men matriculate and graduate since the 1890’s. During the earlier years of the 20th Century, his shop served as the smoker for undergraduates and alumni alike. The “old Ho- bart determination”, a term of his own concoc- tion. is still the watchword at every pep-rally. To the citizens of Geneva, he is known as the “Mayor of South Exchange Street”. He has been awarded a Kiwanis gold medal for good citizen- ship. And no Geneva charity benefit would be assured success without his presence. To Arthur Kenney, in return for his services to Hobart College and Geneva, we dedicate the 1953 Echo of (he Seneca.

PROLOGUE Hobart College, perched atop the high west bank ol Seneca Lake, seems to the oinlander identical with any small liberal arts institution. But to its family, Hobart has far more foundation than stone and con- crete structure. Its sons, its solons, and iis friends see in their place, the personalities, the men, the honorific, the active, the social, and the athletic founda- tions. On these traditions, the stone and concrete stand. This is Hobart College. But whether the foundations be of stone and concrete or of the more impervious tradition, the structure stands as it has stood for a century and a quarter, a monument to its family. The willing, oil-impetuous, strong, unyield- ing hands of the Hobart family have hewn, mor- tared, and hammered into place these tradition- al stones. Their tools have been the record of Man's intellectual and spiritual achievements, their mortar the thirst for knowledge, and their blueprint, the Good and Full Life. 8
