I sw- ,, an iff? ah. , Gnu' llolfsn Retrospect O school, wl1at sl1all we take of thee for ours To keep long after we have left tl1y halls? O shall it be the perfume of thy Howers, Ur thoughts of moon-traced shadows on thy walls? 0 shall it he the murmur of the seas That sing so near their ehangefnl melody, Ur evening whispers of a passing' breeze That steals with silent step across the lea ? All these-ah, we would eherish them as ours, And hold them deep at heart through years to come Hemembranee, too, brings back fleet, golden hours Spent there with comrades true. Ah, 'tis the sum Of these great joys and many more, thou port Of happiness, that makes thee loved, Gray Court. 10

'llhe members fell into a panic. 'tlt is the liord's great day! Let us adjourn. They looked toward Davenport.

Bring in the candles. His calmness steadied the members and work was resumed. The graduates of the class of nineteen hundred and thirty-seven, as they undertake their chosen tasks, would be wise to carry on the spirit of courage celebrated in this poem which is closely connected with this beautiful place. lVhcn danger threatens or when hum-drum tasks cause others to shirk their responsibilities we should remember the words of lVhittier: t'That simple duty hath no place for fear. 9
