it and see the reasons for things. In those early days, urged on by my mistaken ambition, I plugged and got a pull with the faculty, that has been of great assistance since. Class scraps, paintings, and flag raisings enlivened a rather dull year. In the spring the leaves came out, and Gambier scenery began by vindicating the description in the catalogue, and by ju-ne, passed beyond all praise. I resolved to come back, and there was a strange feeling under my vest as I left for home. The Sophomore and Junior years are not so vivid in my mind. I gradually left off studying and took more interest in that part of the cur- riculum not contained in the catalogue. Banquets, smokers, keg-parties, night-shirt parades, little trips to Vernon seem to be jumblecl in a mass in my memory. The time passed, how I know not. Sometimes it seemed dull, but yet examinations came around pretty quickly, a11d many were the schemes to pull through. Then the Brazen Head dinned in 1ny heedless ear the meaning words Time is. The Senior year is nearing its close. Have I for these last eight months been grave and reverend? Has that classic intellectuality be- come my portion, which used to be so noticeable about the '98 men when we were Freshmen? I have not felt it. I hardly feel as knowing and al- mighty as when I first trod old Gambier soil. I-Iave I lost or gained? Sometimes I feel as if my time had beenwasted. I did every conceiv- able thing that I might not have to study. I read often till midnight books that were out of date, or not orthodox, when I had four ' the next day. This was perversity and I knew it and humored it. I slowly forgot my Greek and Latin and felt relieved at the loss. I sometimes read over the catalogue to see what I have acquired and forgotten. I have eaten the lotus flower and my memory of my early self is gone, And yet though all these precious moments have flown like the smoke rings from my pipe, I feel that this wasted time has been fruitful of good. I 2ll1l11Ot a pessimist as of yore, and the associations of college life have tempered my disposition toward all men. Kenyon has become a home to me and O! it is hard to think of saying Good bye. Friend- ships have been formed that the heart can ne'er forget. The merry meetings, the trouble and the sorrow shared, the feelings of CO1ll1'l1OI1 in- terest have bound us and at last we are of one brotherhood, sons of Old Kenyon, Mother Dear. Ere many days are passed the Surge Bache- lore of the President will ring i11 my ears with a deeper a11d sadder meaning: Time was. C. F. M. 24:
