CARTHAGE COLLEGE 18 THE 1911 CRIMSON RAMBLER PROLOGUE TO TI-IE SENIOR TALES lXYith apologies to the Canterbury Tales.J HEX that it happens that the time has come To leave our studies and henceforth to roam The wide world o'er, that haply we may find The one great purpose, every earnest mind To which one thing allegiance true has sworn, That come what may, he never shall be torn From that intent until on hi1n there beams The glory light, that radiantly gleams Through mist and clouds and onward beckons him To push through woods and scale the mountains grim At this same time it seemeth good to me To tell to you the glorious history Of that great class, that you may rightly know 1Yhat to expect as through the world we go. That I may tell in order what has been, 1Yith us as Freshmen will I tirst begin. A Class there was and that a worthy one, That from the time that classes have begun To enter here, no other will you find That equals us in number, strength and mind Une fair fall day almost four years ago. To college-ward with three and thirty, so The records tell, we lfreshmen came that day, :X strong, bright class, sturdy, brave and gay. No sooner had we organized our band When some wise Sophs conducted through the land The Polo boy, he with the golden hair, Deserted him and left him standing there To watch the stars that heedless rolled by Moving around their orbit in the sky. Then we at home with direful wrath all said To-morrow morn we'll hoist the black and red. And so that night our emblem large was made E'er on our beds our weary forms we laid. XYhen morning broke a Sophomore going by Chance-d to look up-an object met his eye That startled him, for there above his head ln the glorious sunlight waved the black and red. So off he scampered to bring back with him His fellow classmen with set teeth Hlltl grim. XYith that small light I need not burden you
