I must do all Time bids, And he sent me for you, Now I will tarry, bid good bye, To please, this quickly do. Wfe slowly turn with woe, To do as we are bid- How can we now leave C. C.'s walls, And from her face be hid? The messenger still waits, And grows quite weary now, NVith sad and grief-bowed hearts and minds VVe solemnly here -vow- That in the years to come VVhere'er we chance to be, Our love for thee, C. C., will grow, And this is our one plea- That though others may come To take our places here, That you will take them to your heart, But leave our plaCCS there. THIRTY-ONE

As juniors we went again to the Fair, and stood examinations, and went home for vacations. As Juniors, we-some of us-were veritable Pattys at Boarding School, but All work and no play makes Iaclc a dull boy, and as luniors we entertained the departing Seniors in the Spring with a reception. fllhe Administration Building was now completed, and in the spacious halls and parlors our reception was a scene of beauty. There was music, and there were flowers, and there were gallant lords, and lovely ladies in handsome gowns- and there was happiness. As juniors, we elected our candidate as Queen of May. But not as juniors did we come on our fourth journey to Columbia College. Proud and thoughtful Seniors we were, and, with the same fortitude with which we began our work as Freshmen, we finished it. , ' VVe were beautifully and royally entertained on the seventh of April by the juniors, at the reception, and now Commencement has come and passed. lt was a glorious time, and a sad time. Twenty-eight of us received our diplomas from dear Dr. Daniel, our president. I am fairly overcome with this feeling of mingled joy and sadness-joy because the hardships and trials of college are over, and I am ready to launch my little boat out upon the Sea of Life, because my Alma Mater's training has better prepared me to sail that boat successfully. Sadness? Yes, 'tis a feeling of sadness too. Vlfe love our classmates, our teachers, our associations, and, looking back, we find that the suppressed trials and hardships were not so great after all. As the Class of 1914, we shall be loyal to C. C. As the daughters of Columbia College, we will be true. We came, and we saw, and we feel that we conquered.
