THE OWL ALMA MATER Tune: In a Monastary Garden Shall we forget you when we've gone, The friends we've made, the things We've done, Or shall we leave and never cast A look into the past To labors which have grown sweet, Softened in mem'ry's velvet seat. God forbid!For meIn'ries chart Our lives with joy which they impart. So we thank you, Alma Mater, For the kindnesses you offer, May we show our true affection With more than recollection, May we bring honor to your name Through useful lives, if not by fame. As we part, joy and sorrow blend. 'Tis a beginning -and an end. Words by George Falconer Music by Albert W. Ketelbey

But all the time our Colonial Pilgrim- Fathers' place was, sitting at the feet of Jesus, look- ing up through tears to the crucified, image of an agony greater than their own, and drawing from the red rain of martyr's blood,-that fell upon them so copiously and so long, the heavenly vigor that has enabled them to practice and seek religious freedom .on Plymouth shores. Colonial America chose the better part, she has transmitted it to usg We to-day, thank God, are Christians, prizing our Christianity and ready, as our fathers were, to -apply that Christianity as a test to every question, educational and social, that claims our attention. And I do not know any question that has a larger claim on the heart of an Americanicitizen than the question concerning which it has become my privilege and honor to speak to you to-day. Surely there is no subject that can so nearly touch, or so deeply interest, the feelings of a Christian people than the subject of education and Christian morality. And approaching such a subject, and feeling that brighter things and better times have begun for
