e HROUGH these classic halls of learning liave our footsteps echoed, died — ■ Soon the footprints that we left will be effaced by life ' s great tide; — Other voices now resound within the halls that knew us well — (lone for all. for some forever, are the souths we loved to swell. But although we he forgotten, as the years go rolling on — Though our deeds may fade and dwindle like the distant stars at dawn — Though a greater Alma Mater, with a greater need of fame. May forget that once we labored to enhance her noble name — We have newer, and shall never, in the darkest days to come. Lose the memories of those happy days in this, our college home; Other fields will claim our labors, newer ties replace the old — But our love for Lebanon Valley never can, nor will grow cold. As a sign of recollection, as a token of esteem. What for us could he more fitting, what to others better seem Than that we should leave a marker that will stand before these walls As a welcome and a guide for those that enter in these balls. Rather than a thing of beauty that will shortly pass away — Rather than a store of knowledge that will last for but a day — Rather than some slight convenience, rather than the hues of dawn — We have built in stone eternal, that shall last when we are gone. Stand. stones, a massive welcome to the stranger passing through, Stand, and may the loyal students be as firm and strong as you, — Till these massive stones have crumpled, till their strength and shape have passed — Till the dust shall claim its children. Nineteen Lourteen ' s love shall last. Carl F. Schmidt, ' 14.
