Those Old College Days of Mine With Apologias . . 11' Kitfy. As one wlio cons at evening oVr a Comet all alone. And contemplates ilic places and tin faces lie lias known. So I give the reins to Fancy, who. with well con- ceived design. Takes me Vandcrbiltward «|tiicUly to those college days of mine. Once more the clock is striking for the Chapel exer- cise. There are Freshmen shorn, retiring.', there are Sen- iors overwise. There are Sophomores bom on mischief, there are Juniors with conceit. All gathered there together at the Dean’s own blessed feel. And the «1I1I and tuneless organ whines a sail key to his theme, Grinding out good Wesley doctrine, while the stu- dents sit and dream. Or seek lielated knowledge as the precious moments pass. Knowing well the dread fate waiting for the unpre- pared in class. Now the little groups are gathered just licvond the Chapel door. Talking Frat or boasting proudly for the ’sieenth time of the score On the stair the groups are parted. Dr. Jones is rushing through. Fourteen minutes late won’t matter but the fifteenth will not do. Across the hall the History door inviting stands ajar. Hut the timid verdant Freshman views it sadly from afar. As conveying in some strange and occult manner to his mind. The legend, “All who enter here may first leave hope behind.” ltelow the Hursar’s waiting for the man who hasn’t paid. And the Chancellor for the Sorrowful who haven’t made their grade. And the air is charged with Dynamos and Shades of Noah K.. And Co-ed murmurs till the hall, for that’s the Co-ed wav. Alas! the dream is broken and my vision disap|H-ars And leaves renewed the longing that abates not with the years. For the past with all its pleasures and enthusiasms rare And that gloried Alma Mater, reverence !, loved, lievond compare.
