The Sophomores While passing through the Hall of Fame I saiv the name, And wondered how it there came; What valiant deed had they done ? What great race had they won? That they should place their name In the Hall of Fame. Still mystified, I turned for information To one who stood by my side; I asked, do you know? Can you enlighten me Concerning this mystery? And tell me how it came, this name, In the Hall of Fame. “Yes,” said he, “listen, and you Shall hear the history, The name which you see is heralded from yonder world; It tells of ambition, and of hope, And, even of despair on life ' s rugged slope; Along the trail, you will find those who failed. But those who overcame, brought the name To the Hall of Fame.” T, myself, am a Sophomore,” he said, And pride in the face could be read; “Excelsior” is our motto, which means Still higher we must go. If we could be worthy of the Gold and Blue, There are yet great things we must do, If we would deserve the name that came, In the Hall of Fame. —A Friend. 55
