(c o n d Loyola's many panes will brightly glint The ruddy rays of western dying flame As I cross through Administration’s hall. Most ancient building under Fordham's name. ♦ I'll wander on a tree-lined path until I circle Collins' classic Grecian front. That bred a Sophomore through trying days With laws he thought unnecessarily blunt. The graceful stone-faced steeple ol the Church, With lantern dome, now rises to my view, And 1 will pause at century-old St. John's Whose sanctum knit me firmest friends, though few. ♦ Then I will gaze across the elm-lined sea Ol lawn, where twinkling lights mark out Duane, Book-lovers' haunt, and I arkin further on Where science men learn life, its cause and pain. And near the gate I'll glimpse the last dim ray Where Keating's tower looks to the western sky. Strike golden minutes from the web-faced clock As I pass on and say my last good-bye. ROBERT E. DOERR

f o t e JVhe day is near to hand when I shall say Farewell to Fordham of my student years. And I have planned tor then a pilgrimage, Not to he entered on without its tears. I will he grateful for a warm June day Approaching twilight, best of summer's lot. And as 1 walk along, although my step Will he of steady pace, my heart will not. ♦ On Keating's terrace I will stand and stare Up at its mullioned windows and gray stone, And think me of the youth so sagely taught First principles ordained for men alone. Then moving westward with the dimming sun 1 11 look toward Freeman from across the Quad That houses Physics, and at right the Gym, Beloved of him who eyes a college squad. ♦ To central from east campus 1 will turn, Glimpsing the low black bulk of distant Chem, And peering up at Dealy's Freshman halls Will start the ghost of one who walked in them.
