ll New Words from Qld Boys COLLEGE LIFE College life, as l used to know it in Lake Forest, was a kind of dream lite. The world was young, the sky was hlue, and the forest still hid some in- nocent mysteries. The lake invited one out toward a lar horizon. Every maiden was lair to look up- on, and only the faculty failed in sentiment. Per- haps, as l know them now, they hid it from us. But dreams are the little sisters of faith, and he who never dreams will miss a measure ol the beauty ol belief and the valor of striving. Gut in the world, cares and allurements stifle the soul, while the beauty and mystery ot its morning fade away into the light ot common day. Happy is he whose college has opened his inward eye to see the high and line things and given him strength of heart to endure 1 and a beautiful courtesy to adorn lite. Calvin H. F ,-.f mi. Q , , As for the rest, the college will lit him for his work well or indillerently as he will. But, it it fails to give him a nohle enthusiasm and a line culture of mind and spirit, it tails greatly. Whether in lllinois or Dakota, the college should Hr not so much lor the competitions ol life as for lite itself. Not more life in its many activities, hut life richer in its purposes and nobler in its en- deavors may the college in the forest and the col- lege on the prairie each give. CALVIN H. FRENCH, '88 Huron College, Huron, South Dakota. ALMA IVIATERN When the editor's request came for a sketch on 'The College Song, it compelled the pleasant con- viction that the child of my early poetic genius had hrought me an honored name and a living remem- X hrance at Uthe old school. Nature has endowed me with a stout pair ol lungs, but l little expected my voice would carry for a decade and a half. How fortunate to he kept from an otherwise well- merited obscurity, hy the friendly verdict ol fifteen succeeding classes. Lake Forest was in my day without a distinctive song: alter the fashion of the simple Aeolian Alyah W' Dkmm harp l merely vihrated to the high ideals and loyal aliection ol a very enthusiastic period in the College history, and was fortunate enough to set to a melodious tune thoughts that rang responsive in the hearts ol all.
