15 Iack 0 tone College ong Fair summer wreathed and smiling Brings our vacation days, With her charms our hearts beguiling, We can but sing her praise; But a felt subduing strain Undertones each glad refrain, Sad, yet sweet, chords vibrate, Telling of the tender parting days. Chorus : College fair, beloved, good-bye, Brilliant star in a studded sky; I ay thy rays still bless and brighten As the passing years go by! Dear Saviour, send a blessing With this, our parting hour; May we each go forth, possessing Thy precious care and power. Oh! bless those who blessed us here, With their toil and guiding care, Be Thou their reward and guardian Until they Thy glory share. Beloved School, we leave thee; In groups diverged we go Home to mountains, plain and margin Of ocean’s ebb and flow. But our homes from hill to sea. As entwining links shall be In the golden chain that binds us Heart to heart, and all to thee. J. R. Sturgis. 20
