The History of the Nation of 1911 Revealing Among Other Things the Establishment of Peace Betzveen Two Younger Tribes CHIS, then, is our third year of sojourn amid the maples that raise their boughs above the Bucknell hill. And since Fame hath al- ready carried our history afar — even, as an Ethiopian gentleman saith, Unto de people who lib in de uninhabited parts of de wurld - — we need not recount the past victories of our Nation. Indeed, it hath already become a custom for people to say concerning great deeds in general, Even so do the Nation of Eleven, and more. ' Now, it comes to pass that when at the new moon a peaceful people came among us to make their home here, we welcomed them, saying, Blessed be ye strangers, and made them our protege. But alas ; a certain barbarous tribe, who, having eaten of the fat of the land for nigh unto a year, showed themselves exceeding haughty and tried to usurp the throne of King John himself. Assuming great authority they bellowed aloud Be it known unto all men that we, the Dozeners, do lord it over this land . And armed with staves they fell upon the peaceful strangers unawares, attacking them hip and thigh. Then did all the country round about cry out, Shame! Shame! while many a stranger sighed dolefully, Woe is me ! This outrage naturally caused us to hold a conference where, after a deliberation of wise men, we decided to have the two tribes engage in a fair contest, free from strategy — the contest to be waged over a huge flagon of apple wine. But vipon hearing this decision, the barbarous assailants fell on their knees with fear and trembling, and neither the angelic band in the heavens nor the gregarious diabolic assembly under the sea could sever them from their fears. Thus did we restore peace, just as the black storm clouds of savage warfare were beginning to scowl above our fair horizon.

the renown that wealth, social standing, and pedigree can boast of, all the fame that money — in marble and granite — can perpetuate, is a mere mare ' s nest compared with that bond of friendship which has drawn us together and w iich neither old age nor distance can sever. United we have stood and united in spirit we shall ever stand. Our work here to-day is but an impetus for the great responsibilities that shall meet us somewhere to-morrow. By the expenditure of physical strength on the athletic field, intellectuality in the class room, and affability in social circles, we have endeavored to develop those faculties which best will enable us to attain unto the realizat ion of our ideal which crystalized into words may thus be expressed as OUR CREED We believe that with more unfeigned altruism, more faith in the triumph of virtue, more bright optimistic minds to soar above the level of common custom, more harmony, more co-operation, this world will launch into a Utopia brighter than poet or artist ever pictured. 28 WP ptW
