fl 4 V SOBER judgment .1 1 tout you is — something very » ™ judicious, very well-documented and very high. I am sorry enough that I cannot have the honorable duty of signing your diplomas in June for I am sure that many of them will become historical documents, so to speak, as you go on to careers of one sort and another, and that I should gain a sort of glory by registering you early in the course of your lives in the Bryn Mawr books. But that one subtraction in the complete cycle of the past years won ' t prevent my boasting of you as I have always done, ' for your beauty, intelligence and virtue, ' to quote from a decoration which the Sultan of Turkey once gave to a Bryn Mawr graduate.

THE LOST LEADER Much did we love her — ah, much did we care. And just for a handful of scarabs she left us, Ribbons from Delphi to twine in her hair. In the midst of our triumph cruel fortune bereft us Of her whom we trusted and worshipped in vain. Now to the camel-boys doles she out dollars, Enters false temples and bows to false fane, Dares to appear in quaint Cretan collars Woven on Dicte and tinctured in Tyre. At the shrine of Apollo her traitorous fingers Run shamelessly over the strings of his lyre. Dolefully then the languid air lingers, Sadly reproaching that once faithful Ieart. Past shame and compunction she feels no contrition, And mounting her donkey prepares to depart — Rides heartlessly onward, deaf to petition, Knossus and Ka nak now claiming her heart.
