O Mississippi, canst thou be but proud Of thy great Institution from whose walls Have passed thy greatest sons to famle and calls Of life and The marks For fifteen Then came When star A settlement of Slavery The Free. No ilinching She sent into thy ranks carried with them to their shroud of her kind training hand and mind? years her infant grasp waxed strong, the dreadful met star and war of right and wrong, bar crossed stripe, to ind among hand or traitor's heart , but for her part A band around whose every soul there clung A tender flove of home, and that was thee, Marched proudly off to keep thy honor bright. Four bloody years they waged the bitter iight Whose bitterness had not begun to flee When Appomattox closed the dreadful strife, For Reconstruction days were to be passed With rule of Blacks and those of despot caste. But through it all she lived and took new life. She missed the brave, strong hearts of those who bled For thee and for thy sis-ter Southern Statesg But who survived the rulings of the Fates did not miss some strong arm that had led? And All gone but home and life, she started out Again to win her place among the seats Of higher learningg and today she greets Your youth with opportunities devout. Her prospects ne'er were brighter for the end She seeks. Her strength is growing, growing fast. Thus may her steps be strengthened by her past, And may you all h.er future needs attend. ' -J. B. WEBB, ' 7 07
