The Dormitor? Hall Oh vacant dormitory halls, How still we see thee lie Between the hours of seven and nine, As they pass slowly by. But what a lively scene ensues As several minutes after, The stillness of thy walls breaks forth With sounds of merry laughter. The jolly raids and skirmishes, The battles great and small — What secrets couldst thy carpet tell — The carpet in the hall, If it should ever traitor turn ; But it has ever been The best of friends to all the girls From fifteen to, till ten. — M. C. K. Thirteen

m Corner of Librar? Mark well I thy face, Thy upright stand a corner graced. Thou wast a cure for censored themes ' And red-inked compositions ' chafe. I revelled in the art sublime Of thy neighbor volumes ; I dreamed anon Their tale of ancient lore In print, with profane cover bound. But these were less, my friend than thou, The central stone of knowledge, ' round Which clustered gems of beauty. how Well I remember thee, dear lexicon. — C. S. M. Twelve

There Too the voice of song and prayer Is heard. There oftimes, to advise, Our gentle Matron calleth her Children. Thou hast, in days gone by, A shelter been for those who from Dan Cupid ' s bow, hath felt the dart. Forget thee, Dormitory Parlor? Never ! -M. R.
