XVho o'er tliese plains before us trod YVe yearn to give thee ample praise So now thy banner high we raise. Revealing to the world anew. Tl1e secret of thy spirit truer- A high ideal on which to gaze. For as thru mists the sun doth shine. And forms the bow by law divine.f An emblem which doth represent God's warning to impenitent- So thou dost shine: in yon rich sky Of learning. many make reply. As to thy merits excellent. No mist can dim thy rays of light. Yvhich penetrate and polish bright The heart and mind of every one. YVho in thy nurture hath begun His course: the warning thou dost gi Ts not to shirk, but learn and live. For greater service must be done. And if we seek the bags of gold. The rainbow has-as we are told- At either end. 'twill only seem The realization of a dream: For no man can obtain the prize, Though years he studies to devise A plan to reach the heights supreme Thy goal is ust as distant far As any illuminating star. YVhose radiant beams the travelers gllldL O1-r mountains steep and oceans wide Directing them to wisdom's gate. XVhere learned scholars meditate And sweetest fellowships abide.
