XCbc Dolce of INOWI.KDCK. thou lair hand-roaldof wisdom With unloosed sandals we bow, | To supplicate In our humility A |ir«l from off thy Crowned brow. Stretch forth thy hand of arrowy purity Ami y.raap from wisdom' altar a glowing coal. That wc may Inhale the mySerin of thing unicoown Kvaporating from its in moat shining aoul. Kugatf us. trailing hand-maid. with one look of thine Keflectcd from the mystcriousneas of thy sovereign lord That those enlightening rays may strike deep In our souls To raise u up o bit and yet to serve their ward, t.'iter but a word of encouragement o'er the abyss That we may rival each with each e'en for the echo. A warrior hold, and not indeed is hr far off from fame Who galneth such a gift, the least thou const bestow. Unthroned Wisdom, forbid it not thy hand-maid. Kathrr bid her grant our souls' profound desire. Thy realm i« far uplifted a tire heavens from earth. And yet doth Cod In heaven our wish inspire. We are thy subject , and thou, Wisdom, art our king; Andtbou, too. Knowledge, art our governor. We wrangle here to catch a glimpse of our mysterious king. Repealing acts set forth by our progenitor. 30 the Senior Wf bend amt sway beneath thy Kejiter strokes As rye stalks‘fore a frowning cloud. And oft-times lacking for a warning word Drop to abyssal deplh within thy shroud. Again we grasp and percbaoce we catch a fringe Out hanging from thy robe of samite pure. There lingering faint we draw oor fellows up To bind them fast upon thy lofty moor. Hut who can hope to take his aspiriog seat Kven at thy feet, fair ha ml-maid, if he be An intruder trying to steal thy priceless gilts Bestowed by that fair hand of knowledge on thee. To serve for thee, fair Knowledge, is our plea, I'or servants are served most royally, serving there Where btlss is mutual, and each seeker finds his bliss Within a circle small, of such an object rare. Bring us to the fountain-head of Pierian springs That we may drink the depth thereof and feel Therrin the freshness of those wondrous waters rare Kmbibed with truths unknown, sent from above. Por we have now heeu folly made aware. By gating on thy pomp and splendrous glory. That tolearn what mortals learn upon this earth Is but to learn llic vastnrsa of thy story.

IfotstorE of ’02 NOW wc stand upon the summit of the halved WJl W Junior Hill and view our first plodding' along lU JI the road of college life, it scents the far, fur distant pMt-uiore a dream than a Dal reality. When we enrolled a Freshmen the thought that we lo«» would one day pOUt» the wise look and heavy responsibilities of Juniors, hardly dared enter our tninds. After the ordeal of first exam , the Christmas Holi days came as a God-scud “damming the lh w of many .1 watery stream. Wc found ' fresh, at least, •• not very pleasant place, ami made such efforts to leave it that we entered Sophomore with almost a lull class. No senior then felt his importance half so much as w.-With our previous record behind us and the issumi.ee frotli the older boy that it would carry us through, our time was given to enjoyment. Some few even went to the extreme of indulging in love affair -. It wrought such havoc that one ol the professors offered to excuse those suffering most severely, (lie was married a short while afterwards). Through such allurements and impediment the class was made much smaller, hut leaving us a class that is to he complimented on the quality and quantity of the w rk it has done this year. Though some few have been almost drags, wc hope to‘drop them in the shade of final “exams” and enter Senior with the best claw Furman has ever known. 3 YK JUNIOR.
