To tread the dreadful way of human birth. His shadow sometimes fell upon the earth And those who saw it wept with joy and fright. “Thou art Apollo, than the sun more bright!’’ They cried. “Our music is of little worth; But thrill our blood with thy creative mirth Thou god of song, thou lord of lyric might!” O singing pilgrim! who could love and folow, Your lover Christ, through even love’s despair, You knew within the cypress-darkened hollow The feet that on the mountain are so fair.

To Alma Mater Fare thee well, thou royal spirit, Noble Guardian of our youth; Take, we pray, our hearts’ fond tribute, Offerings of love and truth. Thou hast op’ed the page of wisdom With its charm of truth and right, Virtues, which no wealth can purchase, Gifts that make the future bright. Shielded thus by virtue’s buckler, Filled with Confidence and Hope,— Bravely do we now fare forward, With life’s problems great to cope. Tho’ we part, dear Alma Mater, Part we only from the sight; In our hearts your name, dear Nazareth, Still shall shine with holy light. Fare thee well, then Alma Mater, May success thy works still crown; May thy name in honor flourish And thy fame afar resound. Irene Kupferschmidt. Twenty-four
