Mine be the hope in life to bear some fruit That will not perish when my tongue is mute ; xA chieve some work that will endure Time’s stings And help some mortal live to better tilings. My life’s ideal— a guiding star, whose gleam Will light the world beyond my fleeting dream. C. C. Rohr, ’09. 1

In his latter days ‘‘ Uncle Remus ” was not actively connected with the Consti- tution, but lived quietly and unostentatiously at his country home, “ Snap Bean Farm,” until his death, on July 3, 1908. “ Uncle Remus’s ” most popular works, those upon which
