V. In the day of doubt and fear One who loved not self alone, Strong and brave, and great, drew near, Made his treasures as our own, Gave his name for corner-stone Alma Mater, HE is gone! VI. O'er you Heaven bends the bow, Spanning cloud, and storm, and rain, Neath that arch of promise,10 Earth is cleansed from spot and stain, Man hath hope and peace again- Alma Mater, live and reign! -jolm Clark Ridpallz.

e1 uIaiIee Hymn. I. Planted by the pioneers, Watered by that noble band, Nurtured by the early seers In our Western border land This, 0 Master, is Thy hand- Alma Mater, rise and stand! II. What is this that God hath wrought 111 this year of jubilee? Fis the plant our fathers brought, After half a century Spreading to a glorious treeh Alma Mater, bend the knee! III. Through their toil, and trust, and truth, Through their hope and courage high, We have zeal, and strength, and youth, Sun by day and starry sky! Lo, the future bendeth nighi Alma Mater, lift thine eye! Iv. Parted are the clouds above, Passed the darkness, shadows fled; Night is morning, day is love, In the way our feet shall tread; Love is peace when doubt is dead- Alma Mater, crown thy head! 8

COLUMBIAN REVIEW. hmhw- - HE word HHOOSier'iiS yet, with some of our Eastern friends, a synonym for verdancy and illiteracy. To many the Indiana of ttThe Hoosier Schoohnasterit is better known than the Indiana of to-day, proud as she is of her Lew Wallace, her Eggleston, her Riley, her Maurice Thompson, her John Clark Ridpath, and her hosts of lesser litterati; her model public school system, and her growing intensity of industrial and educational life. Her better schools of higher learning are frequented by more than five thousand students, Who have come not only from the Cities and farms of Hoosierdom, but from hundreds of homes in western and southern states. Among these Indiana schools is DePauw University, a typical western insti- tution. With more than a thousand students in its halls, with an endowment which will aggregate more than two millions of dollars; with an illustrious past, a prosperous present, and a great future of usefulness just opening before it, this Indiana university Can justly claim a place among the first of our institutions of higher learning. The whole educational world looks westward with a sneer. Germanyts an- cient universities smile with contempt at Oxford and Cambridge; Oxford and Cambridge sneer at the idea of an American university; Yale and Harvard scoff at the ttfresh-wateN institutions of the Central States, while Cornell and Ann Arbor in turn 100k askance at students from the nmushroom, soft maplett c017 leges and universities of the farther West.
