Born in a student mortar-board, An offspring of the plastic mind; Nursed on the bosom of Seneca And rocked by the waves and wind, A queer little sprite you'll find me quite, A mischievous prying elf; Forever concerned with others' affairs And nary a thought of self. For oft I anchor my classic bark, In the shadow of Hobart town, And list to the music of college life Which the breezes lower down. Sweet, 0 sweet, are the sounds I hear, Ah me! So siren sweet, That all I do the whole day through Is listen and repeat.

o jolly mates of a college course! I beg you hither throng And step to the aft of my little craft And join in the sailors' song And, Reader, you of the land-lubber sort, Nor have sailed the co1lege main, Hark to the yarns we love to spin, While the moon and evening wane. Alumni! Now on the sea of life! Return to your haunts again, And heRr us sing the old, old songs To the time of a paddled pen. • 1 _..... _ -e..;.~ . _r'" . ~ . -... ~(:.- . :;..- . --;". ';::': .~

6 After many untoward delays the Echo Board for '98 have fulfill~d their duty to their class and present to you, with some misgivings, the fruit of their labors, the thirty-sixth volume of the Echo of the Seneca, The plan of former Echoes has been kept as nearly as possible, and some features of the older issues have been restored, Real labor and much time have been expended in its compilation, labor and time that have been found in places where no recitations were and where an occasional " run ., interposed to relieve the monotony of the collegiate tread-mill. Remem ber then to be gentle in criticism and to treat this volume as an old friend. little changed in the passage of a year, in whom failings are to be expected and not unsullied perfection as in some new and unknown paragon. Thanks the board does not desire. If their work shall se rve or.ly to refresh the memories of those who have passed irom us , or reflect aught of credit upon their beloved Alma Mater, they will have been only too we ll thanked. It is fitting to note here the events of the past year which have affected the college. With great sorrow we record the deaths of Bishop' Coxe and Dr. Rankine. The former was one of the truest friends the col lege ever had, staunchly upholding its scholarship and its FaCUlty. The latter was for two years our preSident, a man full of good works, the im-

7 press of whose life can never pass from this town. Truly Hobart has lost much. The resignation of Dr. Potter from the Presidency caused general surprise and regret throughout Geneva. For the past twelve years he has had the pleasure of seeing his work widen and strengthen under his excellent care. Now, when the general prosperity of the college invites his presence, he feels that he must go. God speed him in his new work, wherever it may be. It is with deep regret we say" Good-bye " to Dr. Potter, with heart-felt sorrow that we are forced to say it to his charming wife. ii At present the college is progressing quietly and safely under the capable hand of the Dean, Prof. Durfee, who was apPointed acting Presi II dent by the Board of Trustees, until a new President is found, worthy of I I succeeding the men who have gone before. ! Athletics are on a sounder basis than ever. There is good interest I evinced in all the teams. A running track is in process of construction. The crew will soon be at work again. Above all there are more evidences II of college spirit than have been seen of late years. It is worthy of cultiva :1 tion. A college is no college without it. Let it grow. it I

I I HE season for the appearance of the College Annual is not entirely a perioli of rejoicing for the Senior. The buds of spring-tide call to mind the withered leaves of the past. Sad reflections arise, reminding him that it is his Ciuty as one who has nearly completed his college course, to pause upon the threshold and give a word of advice and encouragement to those who are so soon to follow him out into the world. He cannot bear to leave" behind the associations that have become dear to him, and he longs to stay the flight of swift winged Time which is bearing away upon its pinions the brightest years of his life. As he lingers, he listens; an echo reaches his ear; an echo that speaks to him of past deeds well done; of pleasure that is fled; of grief for those whom Death has promoted from the ranks. Review of the past! The Class of ninety-seven might chronicle her achievements which are many and meritorious, and then point vauntingly to the record, exhorting others to follow her excellent example as the shortest road to fame. But she prefers not to do so. Why record in perishable ink deeds that speak for themselves with the voice of Stentor? She simply says: " College spirit is the secret of our solidarity. Foster and keep alive in you if you would succeed, the spark of love for Alma Mater. College spirit is the keystone of our triumphal arch built up from confidence in our Alma Mater and in one another. Who plucks at College spirit threatens to demolish the work of years and bring our triumph down into the dust! " The shadow is stealing around the dial warning us that but little time remains before we must depart. We have striven to live up to our motto that bids us be" Superior in con ceiving and achieving." 'vVe have formed reasonably high ideals, and what success we have attained as a class, is due to our endeavors to realize them. Where we have fallen short, be sure that it is from no lack of earnest attempt, but rather from too exalted a conception. In leaving, we as Seniors would give you this good counsel; emulate the Class of Ninety-seven in worthy exertion; surpass, if you can, her achieve ments. In so doing you will honor yourselves and wreathe the classic walls of old Hobart with new lanrels. HISTORIAN.

Junior Recital.

~I HE Hi'tod~o of the Joni., Ck" h~ little.f "ru11ing '" . . 8 romantIc mterest to record. Nearly three years of our .1 .ijE Umuch prized college course have passed away in work . ..ENJ ED and recreation. These years, although they have slipped o by quietly, have been by no means stupid or uneventful. g ~ We have gone through experiences to which all classss 80000000000000000 are subject, and we have no reason to be ashamed of the way in which we have conducted ourselves. vVe were outnumbered by the . classes above and below us, but we entered and fought our college battles with a pluck and perseverance that has never been equalled in the annals of Hobart. In the class-room and on the campus we have taken a leading place, and we have made our influence felt for good in college life. But the student-life is necessarily in large measure an inward one rather than one abounding in external circumstances which invite the attention of the annalist or poet. Its true record must be the record of moral and intellectual growth, of the process by which the school boy is transformed into the youth in some degree fitted for the higher activity of life. For, after all, as we see more clearly each day, this is the real meaning and significance of college life, toward which its lessons and pleasures are directed; and in proportion as this is realized in our experience, our college life will have been a success or a failure. What it is to be. we shall soon know; but one short year more and that realization must come. HISTORIAN.

\, history t 99+

T is with no small pleasure that we review the career of '99. Nearly two years of our course have passed, and as we pause to look back over them we cannot help feel ing a certain thrill of pride and satisfaction at the record we have made. The victories of '99 in its first contests, the winning of the cup, the Freshmen banquets held in town have all been mentioned in the first chapter of our history. Last fall we came back with a loss of eight men; but in spite of that we had everything our own way. The ball game was easily won, '99 running up so large a score that out of sympathy for the class of '00 we will not mention it. We had no trouble in winning the tug of war. In the cane rush we were pretty evenly matched for number, and it was only after a hard fight that '99 succeeded in keeping the Freshmen back. In athletics we have not been surpassed by any class in college. Last year's foot ball and base ball teams were largely made up of members of our class, and for the present nine we have furnished the captain and the pitcher, besides two 01 three other men. Nor have our achievements been confined to the campus. In the class-room we have shown even greater ability. "Among youths, young; but in counsels, old." 'With none but pleasant thoughts of the past and cheerful prospects for the future, we close the second chapter of our history. HISTORIAN.

But that was not to be patiently borne for long. Ninteen-hun dred began to prove herself of good stuff, and though conquered by superior numbers in some of the class " scraps," and defeated in a majority of the class contests, yet she made a' good showing in them aU, and put up a hard and stub born fight against '99. In the class room, too, 1900 has earned for herself a good name; but modesty prevents our going more deeply into her scholastic standing, lest we seem too self-laudatory. But the Freshman Banquet! That was the greatest triumph of the year. In spite of the diurnal vigilance (?) of the Sophomore class, in spite of the nocturnal wakefulness of one of '99's redoubtable (?) members, every Freshman got safely out of town and away. When at last the Sophs. woke up to the truth, two of them (now remarkably energetic in the Class of '99!) started off after the Freshmen; but they were too late and were unable even to keep one man away from the banquet. The old clock in Dromedary Hall chimes out the hour of midnight, and as I lean back in my chair I seem to see, in the clouds of fragrant smoke curling about my head, bright promises for the future class with whom goes out the XIXth century.

This is the second yeal- that Indoor Base Ball has been played a t Hobart Last year a team was m ade up of som e of the regular ball playel-s a nd, with little or no practice, played three games. Then there was not even a captain to lead the team_ This year the Y . M. C. A., Algonquin Club and the 34th Separate Company united to fOI-m a L eague of Indoor Base Ball teams, and Hobart was asked to j oin. T h e students accepted, a nd a captain was appointed to select a team. This is t h e r eal b eginning of the indoor gam e at Hobart. From the first the team h as been h eavil y h a ndicapped for lack of a suitable p lace to practice a nd t hus the cand idates were at times disheartened and dis couraged, but n evel-theless they kept steadily at work, and from making a bad start off in the race for the penna nt, g radually pulled themselves together, a nd in the m iddle part of t h e season it looked as if our team might carry off the penn a nt, a nd show the oth er teams that Hobart could play with the "pudding" as well as the spher e. But our h a ndicap was too g reat. Up to this point, the stu dents supported their team well, but a defeat after a close contest, took away the interest so quickly aro used; the team stopped practice, and at last finished the season simply o ut of conrtesy to the other teams in the Leagu e.

E. M. H. KNAPP, Scorer. At last Hobart is to have something it has needed for a long time-a track.. The athletic council which was formed in the fall of '96 has seen that a Hobart track team can never expect to win a field day from such colleges as Hamilton, Colgate and Union without some place, near the college, on which to train. In former years our teams have had to go two or three miles to a track on the other side of the city, if they wished to get in condition. This season, how ever, with a track of our own on the college campus, and with the support of all the students, it seems highly probable, that our team can go to Utica, with good hopes of winning several prizes. The track, which we hope will be done by the first of May, is to be one fifth of a mile. Althoug this will make it too small for any hard training by bi cyclists, the runners will be able to do as good work on it, as on a larger track. There will be a straightaway cOurse for the roo yards dash, but the 220 yards will have to have one turn in it. The team itself this year has very good material for a field day, and although there are few men to select from, the old Hobart spirit makes every one willing to try what he can do. There is no reason in the world why Hobart should not make a name for himself in track athletics, as she has in base ball and football. Let us all unite to make the field day at Utica, this spring, a grand success for our Alma Mater.

Never since the days of Archimedes has the world witnessed such a game. Sharply at three-thirty the teams appeared upon the field, both confident of victory. An objection being made by the visiting team to the playing of I ringers, Captain Mac, in spite of having given a "learned discussion" upon I the subject, was forced to rule Theo. Stanton, Lannie Humphreys, Frank Potter, Allan Art and Jimmy Parks from his team. He maintained to the last, however, that they were not ringers, and proved conclusively that at least two of them had visited the college in the last two years. The substitutes, being hardly second to the so-called ringers, the game proceeded without loss of time. The first half was a disappointment to the numerous admirers of the team. Great weakness was shown in bucking the line and in forming interference. The opponents, playing a stiff game, made two touchdowns and the score stood 10 to 0 at the end of half. After an intermission of ten minutes, Captain Mac, looking like Achilles returning to the field to take vengeance for slain Patroc1us, leads back his team which had evidently been invigorated with soul stirring fire. Durf kicks off the ball. The team tear down the field, Mac iu the lead aud Durf a good second. The ball is fumbled. Mac and Durf dive for it together. The fates are against us. The ball is captured, but it takes Mac full time to recover. All hope for Durf was given up, when someone accidently produced two ounces of anti-no-to-bac. The effect was instantaneous and amid the ap plause of the multitude the game proceeds. Fermaud now receives the ball and places it on opponents' five-yard line· In three downs there was no gain. The referee rules Littlemac out for slugging, but as it was shown that he was simply exerting his energies on Kirtland and Silver he was allowed to continue in the game.

90 In the meantime Hammie, Durf and Bobby, had made a mathematical, astronomical and logical calculation, the result of which was transferred to Cap. The signal is given. Durf receives the ball; Turkey on one side, France on the other, Greece pushing in the rear, as if bucking against all Europe and, bang, fOl a touchdown. . With the eloquence and ability of a Ciceronulus Charlie gives Nash a per fect commentary on goal kicking and obtains a goal for his reward. The enthusiasm is unbounded. Bobby receives the ball on the kickooff and with Charlie as an interference carries it half way down the field. The ball was unfortunately lost by an eye-brow, which was off side'. In the next scrim mage a beautiful tackle is made by Nash. Kirkie and Archie break through the line. Archie falls at the ball but misses it, and Willie looking for a soft landing, lights upon the prostrate Arch. Turkey, however, obtains the ball and' advances it fifteen yards. The next twenty minutes is one of great anxiety. Neither side makes gains. Nash here reports Kirkie to Cap. saying, "Madet homo." Kirkie over hearing flares up with" Tune me ais madere." Scarcely can Cap. restrain the boys from conflict, and finally is obliged to rule Willie off the field. Archie, in terfering, is also sent to the bench. There being no players present except the so-called ringers, after a short Philippic by Mac the game is continued with nine men. vVhat enthusiasm and energy Cap. poured into his men! He made each do the work of a dozen players. Durf, Nash and Fermaud were hosts in them selves and invincible. Eliphanott with his dignified and majestic mien could not be moved. Durf tore through the opposing lines. Hammie and Turk with fiendish yells rushed around the ends. Hurrah! Another touchdown and a minute to spare. Goal is kicked and the victorious team is carried off the field on the shoulders of their admirers.

SPE;CIAI, FE;ATURE;S : Cap. Mac's quarter-back kicks. Bobby's swearing. Delamater's coltishness. Silver and Kirtland's love for one another. Hammie's pugilism.

N ever was a board surrounded By as gay a set of young men As was seen on this occasion. At the head sat U. G. Blackford, He the greatest of toastmasters, He the lover of quotations, I With a silvery tongue which sounded As the pealing chimes at evening I' i When they float from out the belfry. Songs unceasing were a feature Of the evening's joy and gladness.

94 At the word, our festive I,arry, He the greatest of all singers, i He the best of all musicians, I vVith his voice as soft and gentle As the sweet voice of Apollo, As the voice of sprightly maiden vVhen she coyly woos her lover, 1 Started up the songs of Hobart. Sweet unto her sons they sounded As do showers in the summer To the ears of weary travelers Passing o'er some lengthy desert. Toasts magnificent were given, Toasts which would bear repetition, Toasts which ought to be preserved With the relics of old Hobart Even at the present moment As my mind's eye wanders backward ! And rests on that scene resplendent, Yes, resplendent with the presence Of our friends in '97, There before me stands old Colton, Stands erect with arms extended, And with eyes raised up to Heaven Gives us words so full of meaning I On the ; past and present" dwelling That with awe we sit and listen. vVhile our Herrick, short of stature, \Vith his grave demeanor common To himself and to no other, Speaks in slow and measured accents Of the man who in the future Shall assume that grave position, Grave, important, full of honor, President of our Alma Mater. Sure the Colonel from Kentucky (Breckenridge, I think his name is) Could not though he strive forever With his eloquence unbounded,

9S ! ~ : ! 'Cbe Senior Banquet.

9S vVith his fluency well kno~n, Rival these our gallant speakers. True a future lies before them, These the greatest of all talkers. Other speeches full of grandeur, Full of wit, replete with humor. Also fell upon the hearing Of the spell-bound band of listeuers. But to tell of each oration, And relate its many virtures, Would fill up a book as ponderous As the one in which are written All of Cicero's orations. Merry jests from all assembled Were as thick on this occasion, Yes, as infinite in number As the stars are in the heavens. Thus the evening speeding onwards, Hours passing as the moments Pass on ordinary evenings, Sped at length completely from us, Left us gazing on the morning, Sad to see at last the ending Of the greatest of all gatherings vVhich as friends we share together. J. M. B. '97. Our Willy.

As he walks alollg the street With a bland and vacant stare, 'With his mackintosh so neat, And his downy beard so fair, You would think him made of wax For some dime-museum hall; And if symmetry be lacks, , Twas a poor job-that is all. See him in the prison-cell, 'Where he proudly lords it o'er, Us poor devils; hear him tell 'What he knows -yes, all and more. See us get it in the neck 'When he condescends so far Confidence receives a check; Things don't seem just what they are. JOB. j Youth. Sing on! Sing on! For life is lightly fleeting. I The inland river joins the distant sea; Too soon, perchance, shall come their time of meeting; For after this we know not what shall be. Sing on! Sing on! or ever douds can lower, 'While youth's red wine its crystal cup runs o'er, \Vhile loyal sunshine follows every shower, And heaven is not dark forevermore. Sing on! Sing on! The world may not hereafter, With willing ears, await a sadder song Of restless toil, and tears that follow laughter, \Vhere dust'ring cares in funeral fashion ;hrong. Sing on! Sing now! 'Ere time and toil together, Have crushed the song within the singer's breast For youth alone holds all earth',s brightest weather, But age nor knoweth sun, nor song, nor rest.

97 'Cbe JVIummyts Soliloquy.

! I It was night. The mummy sat on an empty packing box and wept.

" "Alas! Alas! That I, Jezebella Jehemi~h, should come to this! Look at me!" :\II; Sobs bitterly. I "I complain not at having been taken from my native land, that land· which was dearer to me than life itself; but to be rifled, robbed, handled, and stripped of my beautiful garments! It is too much! And oh ! how cold it is! I wonder what has become of my opera cloak." "\Vhat manner of place is this? I know it not. What mean all these curious bits of stone, these skeletons, these stuffed objects? One would think I were in the hands of a taxidermist." " Ah! there stands my once beautiful case--it must have cost my father hundreds-repainted, repainted I say. \Vhat would my respectable mummy say? And women will talk." " My garments are in tatters, torn off by this depraved generation. Alas! chivalry has fled-they know not how to treat a lady of quality, but with it not modesty; for no, some dear sweet soul has taken pity on my nakedness and has adorned me with a beautiful new gingham apron. There it lies. Ugh! And all day long I must wear it. But when night comes. I fling it into into a corner, gather my own scant apparel about me and weep. Woe is me! And yet I was once a high-born lady, coveted by all, fair, yea even beautiful. (My beauty lay not so mnch in regularity of features as in my expression and fascinating ways-what a lovely creature I was, and now!)" " But daylight approacheth.· Farewell life, farewell students, I love you all-I don't think. Give me my opera-cloak. Farewell." And tucking her new apron closely about her, the mummy lay dead. H. H.

CHARLES AUBREY SLOSS ON, ~ WALLACE HUBBARD W A'rTS, CHARLES SYLVESTER VVORDEN,

Only a word, old fellows, Wherever you may be, Tossing upon the billows Of life's dispersing sea, To tell you how we miss you And your care-forsaken cheer: Dear old ninety-eighters, vVe would that you were here.

101

J 'I

Sad memory wraps a halo Around each deed and word, That you .have done and spoken, That we have seen or heard; And the dusky halls re-echo. "When slumber steeps the head, To the thunder of your voices, To the thunder of your tread.

And some we wreathe with laurel, And some we ring with bay, And one with weeping myrtle Who has left life's little day, vVho . has gone beyond the sunset 1'0 a life that is larger drawn; But his noble heart, in our he~rts Close-linked in love, beats on.

vVe would that you were with us, Again with 'Ninety-eight, 1'hough the sun is at the zenith And our day is waxing late. God speed you, dear old fellows, vVhere e'er on earth you be,' And grant us again to meet you vVhen the river joins the sea!

Saturday JVIorning.

Retreat, at once, the attack has come! We hear the sounds of danger dire! We dare not stay; ashamed to run; Yet what is coming is worse than fire.

The door bursts open, there they stand! All armed and furnished for the fray, No time to waste; no outstretched hand Can wave the onset now away.

I "You want your room swept?" Heaven and hell! I The clouds of dust are rolling fast, A careful leap and then pell-mell- '1 Out, blind and choking, rush we pa!lt. I

I But time flies by and so does dust, At last we venture back again. Is this the room with this the crU!lt Those awful brooms put on our den?

The roses come and the roses go. The sun gets up; the sun goes down. In room No-'tis even so, The dust flies up and the dust siuks down. W. H. O.

Booh Rt"ltW + i 'Chc 'C-ttl-t'. i Notwithstanding the great temptation of including within our covers the whole of this exquisite publication which, for delicacy of sentiment, purity of diction and elegance of language is unexampled, our space will permit only of giving a few brief extracts which are unusually brilliant. "A 'fresh' who had to 'cram' and cussed it." Being aware of the unlimited vocabulary of the gentleman in question, we can only admire the truth of his statement and, indeed, if need be, vouch for it. We are sorry to see the following: "A careless Cupid, a poor-aimed shot Did the mischief right down pat: A dart that made but one, heart lame __" In these materialistic times when we are assured that Venus originally had red hair and wore blue stockings, this fallacy of Cupid's existence ought to be exploded. If he lives at all, he is probably incarnate in some small newsboy who s'!ings stones, not arrows. Under the head of "The Serenade" occur some intensely poetic expressions; as, " Oh! how our hearts did fly!" or, "We threw the flowers one by one, And then the boys began to run." Perhaps the boys mistook the flowers to be cabbages: hence, their flight. Again, "We waited in our windows there With shaking knees and with great care." Here is another: "We both stood still upon the floor." A chair would have been less draughty if not more comfortable, The following is exquisite: "On tiptoe we crawled into bed."

This is very vivid: "Two-forty she sailed into me And I thought 't would be wise to flee." "I felt really out of sight! ,. The metrical" Alphabet" is. beyond question, one of the greatest proofs we have ever met of how hard it is to keep from being understood. Below are a few evide:1ces of correct character reading: "F- is for Frierson who thinks he's a dandy .. It is rumored he has also a fondness for candy."

"H~ is for Hawley the heavenly twin. Who unto a freak is closely akin." " M- is for McGrew. a dear little boy, So charming, so sweet. sc shy and so coy." ., Coy" is very good.

" P~ is for Plummer, to his pipe closely wedded, The list of the beauties by his name must be headed." 'Ne have heard otherwise. " The Psalm of Life" is scintillating with bits of profound wisdom, as well as J wonderful poetic expression. " Not enjoyment but just study Is our destined end and way." "Trust not future, howe'er pleasant." " Wipe your feet and leave behind you No mud foot-print? on the floor! " The effect is somewhat spoiled by the last two lines of the poem which are of a cynical and misanthropic nature: "Let us swear and eat and chew friends And throw paper in the grate." A certain element of lawlessness and cannibalism render them, however, very pleasing to the ears of this advanced generation. Mr. Longfellow has certainly been outdone at his own work. No doubt he smiles in his grave as he sees his unfinished task so enthusiastically assumed by these fresh young minds. On the whole. "The Tattler" is bound to " take," as the saying goes.
