Only a Icwv more days and the last I ' arew’ell, a lew more days and we shall stand on the threshold of a I ' uture, unknowm, unex])lored, untraversed, menacing wdth uncertainly all the more ter- rible in the hour of a monstrous war. nistraught by tliese contlicling emotions, we look hack yearningly uj)on our Alma Mater, only to find her gradually drilling from us.
