Greeting Immortal muse, tvhose bounty doth impart The gift of song divine, the poet ' s art, ' before thy shrine oft sung in ancient lore We boiv. With reverence humbly we implore That thou ivith magic touch attune thv lyre. Within our frail breasts thy poTver inspire That ive in fitting ivords may celebrate The deeds of mighty heroes famed and great. To thee, kind reader, bring lue greetings noiv. Good cheer be thine, may pleasures gird thy broTV. Expect not here deep hidden truths to find, cNfir teachings dire and hard of Stoic kind, ' But in the storms of life may hither spring Jond memories that our dreams delight to bring. Of joys and youthful struggles that ivere thine In good old college days of auld lang syne. — W.

There is no de- partment but has felt its impulse, no student enterprise which has failed to feel its quickening power. Alma Matriotism in its truest and best sense is constantly growing as a vital reality in the life of Denison. The year in Athletics is one that every student will long re- member with pride. The varsity base ball team of 1902 eclipsed the record of the immortals of ' 90- ' 9i both in the quality and quantity of its work. Football, though never Denison ' s boast, bids fair to rival baseball in popularity and success. The 1902 eleven gave Denison the best foot ball it ever had.

With its efficient coach and abundance of material, the 1903 base ball team is most auspiciously beginning its season. Another feature of student life which deserves mention here is the fraternity house idea — one in which Denison ranks with 5
