ELKHGRN O Nature, thou are ever fair, And ever fair thou art to me. Thy radiant spirit's everywhere- On mountain height and grassy lea. In sweet Kentucky love I thee, Where laurel blooms and blue grass grows, But thou art dearest all to me Whe1'e dreamily the Elkhorn flows. Sweet silver Elkhorn, I hear thy music in my dreams, Clear, rippling Elkhorn- Queen of all the Bluegrass streams. All through the sunny hours in June I listen to thy limpid strain That lulls to softer, sweeter tune The music of my heart and brain. But, O to dream these hours away, And feel the magic of thy flow, What more need I of charm to stay? Wliat more of simple joy to know? O Elkhorn, thou must surely know The time when I my loved one meet, For in the evenings softening glow I hear thee say: To love is sweet. To love is sweet, thou'rt whispering now, With voice untouched, untrained by art. Sing on, fair Elkhorn, gently thou- Sing to my love-awakened heart! O Elkhorn, fairest of the fair! That shimmers in the sunlig-hts beams 3 0 Elkhorn, rarest of the rare! With dancing' ripples, curls, and gleams Of all the jewels I have seen In Nature's realm, I prize thee best- Thee, Elkhorn-diamond-pure, serene, That glitters on Kentucky's breast. -Alexander I-Iynd-Lindsay

HENRY NOBLE SHERWOOD, AB., A.M., Ph.D., LL.D President of Georgetown College One who never turned his back but marched breast forward, Never doubted clouds would break, Never dreamed though right were worsted, Wrong would triumph, Held We fall to rise, are baffled to fight better, Sleep to wake.
