Fare you well, our day is done! Filled our places, set our sun. NVQ have finished all we started, Fare you well, when we are parted. Faire you well, our college cases! Fare you well, our C1tlSSI'O0ll1 places! Though, indeed, 'tis someyvhat checkered, Fare you well, our college record! Millly have our ranks forsaken Due to finals we have taken, Fare you well, our nights of stuffiimg, Faire you well, our days of bluffing! We shall never love another, Fare you well, our college mother! Twilight durkens 011 the water, Fare you well, dear Alina Mater!

Ode to Allegheny A little while. your kindling spell has wrapped Around my heart what reverence I teelg l have not known you fully yet. nor tapped That deeper spring the future will unseal, The greater love the sure time brings: till now, More like a child when at his n1other's knee In thoughtless mirth and speud.tln'ift time he playsg And so did I allow The time to slip away, as though there be No end to youth and youth's blithe happy days. Four years have gone-and all- too fast they sped-- Four times l saw your hillside's leafy green Fade, many-tinted of autu1nn's brown and red, While the dark pines unchanging stood between, Four times, the winter like a shepherd, bring His rlroves of whiteness. glistening and jeweled, To load the pines and roof the somber halls, llntil again the spring Swelled the new buds and in the soft air ruled, Pouring her sun against the vine-clad walls. Yet, Allegheny, sweeter than your name, Fair as your hillside in every season fair, The memories of those who one time vame And now are gone but still your impress bear. l cannot know of you the thousa-ndtli part Nor see the Si'l'lll'flll'0S that your hand has wrought, You are not fixed upon this steadfast hill liut in the mind and heart Ulf him who loves you and has early sought Your molding Spirit, is that Spirit still.
