had Constitutes a School? What constitutes a school? Not gilded architrave or pillared hall, Carved stone, or marble pool, Not storied glass whence rich reflections fall, Not picture, map, or book, Not elm shaded walk or playground wide, Not shop or studious nook, Whereto the fond alumnus points with pride. No! Boys, high minded boys, Full of high hope and aspirations high, Who daily know the joys Of treading earth and gazing on the skyg And teachers, too, who prize The daily opportunity to do their work, But, prizing, still despise With calm disdain the hypocrite and shirk. Knowing no other rule Than that just pride which guards its own fair name These constitute a school, Upbuild its honor, and advance its fame. These when they leave its walls, Sustain the lowly, calmly meet the great, And, if stern duty calls, Fill with large deeds the annals of the state.
