tlj? i itiora The accompanying poem, writ¬ ten by a member of our faculty, was brought to my attention. It expresses perfectly my own senti¬ ments toward the Class of June 1926—the first all-Tech class. ALBERT L. COLSTON. You with whom we’ve often struggled To be triTe to what is best In yourselves, forever leaving To some happy chance, the rest— You whose goal is not so near you As you now perchance may think, Who this eve of graduation Stand but on your manhood’s brink— You’ll forget the things we taught you, You’ll forget the books you read, And I doubt if you’ll remember Much, if anything, we said. But when schooldays are behind you, And you face the world yourselves, You will find, if you search keenly, Stored away on mem’ry’s shelves, Just one gospel that we gave you, One precept to be your guide. Though all else should be forgotten. This should last whate’er betide: All the lessons that we taught you Are as nought, within our ken, If you but remember to be Upright, honorable men. —Magister. 2
