Brukr Alumni. Drake, Drake, 'mid tears and prayers, Thy founders saw thee rise, They laid thy firm foundation With love that never dies. Drake, Drake, all fears have vanished, Fair fortune on thee smiles: Thy past, so full of glory, All future ill beguiles. Drake, Drake, thy praises echo, Thy halls with gladness ring, As noble sons and daughters Thy name in triumph sing. Drake. Drake, defeat ne'er conquers Thy heroes, true and braveg Amid the cheers of foemen, Thy colors high we wave. Drake, Drake, thy truth and wisdom. Thy power for God and right! Alumni prove, undaunted, Victorious in the fight. Drake, Drake, these heroes welcome ln deeds they honor thee And through the coming future Thy friends they'll ever be. Drake, Drake, the new Alumni.

And it came to pass in the year one thousand eight hundred and ninety-seven, in the ninth month of the year, there came together a goodly number of noble youths and maidens, at Drake University, in the land of Iowa. 3. Now, these youths and maidens were from the countries beyond the Mississippi and the Missouri, and from the lands that lie far to the westward, and to the east and north and to the south. 4. And they did bind themselves together to work for one another and to protect themselves from such tribes as should assemble in the city of their dwelling. 5. And behold, there dwelt in the city a man of fame and learning, who did teach in the University. And this man's name was Professor Hill M. Bell, 6. Who did invite the class to his house for an evening of pleasure. 7. And behold, another tribe did attack them and a mighty scrap ensued and many were made prisoners. 8. And when the time came when they were to depart into their own countries on a visit, they called together the various tribes of the city, 9. And they did amuse them with readings and songs and actions, wherein they did liken themselves unto children. lO. These things did the class of nineteen hundred and two in the first year of their sojourn in the City of Learning. CHAPTER ll. OW in the secondlyear of their sojourn in the city. they were called Freshmen. 2. And it came to pass as they were gathered together one morning in the place of worship, a tribe called Juniors, fell upon them. 3. But with haste they did turn, and the offenders were sore smitten. 4. And the ruler of the University compelled the Juniors to pay for his chair, which was demolished in the conflict. 5. One other scrap did they engage in that year: and they were victorious and did retain their colors. 6. And behold, when spring was come, they did hold a picnic in a park called Greenwood, and a great feast was eaten. 7. And so ended the second year of their sojourn in the City of Learning. CHAPTER lll. NOW it came to pass in the year in which they were called Sophomore-s, they did have many scraps in which they acquitted themselves nobly. 2. One mighty scrap did they have under a great old elm on the campus: and much skin was lost and much grass and sod torn from the earth. 3. And these were the feasts and bums held during that year.
