O Bear, silent watchman of Academy youth and guardian of the roof of Fisk, great thou art in thy speechless wisdom a11d lofty contemplation! Were thy head and members accessible to irreverent youth. long ago would we have bade thee come off thy perch and descend ignohle and untimely to base assault. But tl1ou hast kept thy bear-ings and throne at once. Long' mayst tl1ou sit there in l1onor and sober dignity. Yet, Ursa Magnus, know a greater than thou, e'en yon constellation pointing to Boreas and the star of nlariners' hope and guidance, elder by inhnite years than thou. yet throned not more proudly nor yet more hrmly. Ursa Major his name. And yet one greater than either, this Bear, Ursa Maximus. friend of man and maid, light of life, joy of campus, hall, and home, to illumine, instruct, and cheer. Go forth, this book, and in years to come solace hours of melancholy, reopen springs of youth and recollection. Re this thy task, in friendly jest and faithful image record tl1e life of tl1e rolling years and huttress meniory with the tale of the typed page. Full n1any a pen l1atl1 writ thee, glad hands receive thee, kind fates preserve thee. A. H. XVILDE. 12
