Not here the grandeur of Loras Hal! nor even the traditional charm of old St. Joseph Hall, but pleasant associations and fond memories cling to everj cor¬ ner of this building. The in¬ cessant buzz of conversation, the fli] ]:)ant jest, the irrepres¬ sible wit of care-free youth, the letter from home, alT these come to mind with the mention of .St. Francis Hall. Seventeen

COLUMBIA ' WOODLAND c54 SONG to the oak, the brave old oak, Who hath ruled in the j reenwood long; Here’s health and renown to his broad green crown And his fifty arms so strong. ' I ' hcre’s fear in his frown when the sun goes down. And the fire in the West fades out; And he showeth his might on a wild mid- night. When the s t o r m s through his l)ranches shout. —11. F.

Grown grey with whit¬ ening winds, with Cleansing r a i n s and snows. lOiglitecn
