Kenyon College - Reveille Yearbook (Gambier, OH)

 Where thirsty students drinl( their fill at IVisdoins crystal spring. Within this building’s dim retreat The classic students deeply ponder; Sweet study, ’mid the shelves to meet Fair Harcourt maidens as they wander! The place a sentiment betrays Where soft is heard some schoolgirl’s laughter. While young men dream of holidays And gaze aloft through cobwebbed rafter. 10

Foreword IE chief duty of the Junior class is to publish a book which shall be at once a picture of Kenyon life as it really exists, and a living record of a year on the I fill. This is no light task, so whatever the short- comings of the present volume may be. the editors crave indulgence from the reader. During the sixty years since the first little four-page Reveille was printed, college life has changed as much as the form of the publication. To show this change entirely is, perhaps, too much to ask of undergraduates; but the editors will rest easy if they shall have succeeded in giving at least a sug- gestion of the Kenyon of today.

■CfKc F jayeille. College Days O days, how with reluctant, clinging fingers We should loose you from our hold; How, as the greedy miser lingers, lingers, Loth to spend his coins of gold. We grudgingly should live your precious hours. Dropping each one with a sigh; How closely we should hoard your faded flowers Now so carelessly flung by; Could we but know how, in the coming seasons. When life’s ardors droop forlorn. And rapine-smoke of Time’s invading treasons Blurs the clearness of the morn, How we. with sighs and thoughts of bitter leaven Working in our cup of cares. Shall learn that once we sojourned blind in heaven. And walked with angels unawares. And how we shall, with tears of stormy flowing. Throw our faces in the sands. To think we looked not back to see you going. Nor longer held your parting hands. o.e.ai
