MACHINE Weird child of lightning and ore, Swinging ungainly arms in a strength that approaches beauty, In the barbarous, syncopated rhythm of the jungle- Strange strength and rhythm that hold men's eyes and hearts g You are loved, hated, feared by all the legions of earth As never Woman was. You rule and are ruled. The babel of your voice Governs the lives of your masters. O Monster who, unheralded, Remade the world to a devil's fantasy, Conquering where Caesar and Alexander fell: Go, take your place with the old gods, Iupiter, Thor, and Iehovahg Stand and leer down upon them as onus. Only touch not the Great God Pan and the Young Iesus, For they have beauty. 69 I l

The anniver- sary of the death of the halls has left transplanted half- brothers in a pool of reminiscences whose size belies their youth. Memories of the Ides of March and their fateful por- tent bring recollections of Wrathful hall presidents, of futile exhortations for No transplantation without representation, and of indignant bull sessions. But memories fade with the echo of Il Duce Morgan's commandment, f'Ye shall not be fraternalfl There occur moments in the packing of grips for the periodic treks of an Antiochian when some run across shiny pins in the bottoms of drawers that were accustomed to label the bearers as proud members of Insert-name-of Hall, and the stream of resulting associations is broken by sighs of Alas, poor Yorickf' A heretical memory calls back the old objec- tions and they still seem valid, what benefits have resulted from our organized disorganizationP The campus still re- sounds to the derisive cry of Hi, fellowswg few unwilling Rotarians, and the Writer is acquainted with none who were willing, have increased their vocabularies of first names appre- ciably. The fraternal spirit is still evident in those people who are seen together g even though halls have been smashed the fragments remain and litter the scene of action. Acquaintances 71
