303, mal ew t of mni the Facultatis Numeratio Scene: Old Dobbs Ferry Cemetery. Time: 1958 A. D. Dmmatis Personce: Oldest Inhabitant and Ye Aged Alumnus. CLDEST INHABITANT: Look ye well, my friend, at yonder row of moss-eaten tombstones. AGED ALUMNUS: Yea, they predominate o'er all the others. OLDEST INHABITANT: 'T is well. Let us examine the first. AGED ALUMNUS: The one with the caestus crossed with a triangle? OLDEST INHABITANT: Synonymous of might and mathematics. He died misunderstood to the last, for this is Alec's. AGED ALUMNUS: Bitter thought. But the next with the statuette of the weeping lamb? OLDEST INHABITANT: 'Tis that of Van, for he loved little children, and this with the cradle is George's. But he was forced to it against his will. AGED ALUMNUS: Sublime tragedy! But here is one that brooks interest. A crate of peaches, a box of cigarettes and a book with Browning chiseled thereupon. . u OLDEST INHABITANT: Channing Craig hes be- neath. The group on his mausoleum explains his death. h d e ved his AGED ALUMNUS: I shudder, but e es r fate. Pass on. OLDEST INHAEITANT: This plain stone is that of Dr. Randall. He went to his grave after a long and useful life, honored by all. AGED ALUMNUS: 0, that the last could be said of some of the others. Ahal Fifty marble pan- cakes in a pile, with a granite discus beside them. A fitting memorial? OLDEST INHABITANT: Extremely so. His name was Dearborn. He died from overuse of the former and final abandonment of the latter. His end was a happy one. AGED ALUMNUS: Let us endeavor to turn from gruesome subjects. OLDEST INHABITANT: Pray, then, behold this stone. Notice the glass of milk deftly chiseled from granite, with a piece of bread on top. Near at hand is a Mackenzie marking pad. AGED ALUMNUS: These be terrible weapons! Their owner must have been a hero. OLDEST INHABITANT: Sampson was his name. He ruled the juvenile hordes under him by close- ness with the first and liberality with the latter. He also stood for his convictions. AGED ALUMNUS fremoving his lzatj: Stood for his convictions? Truly, it is the tomb of a great man. The time grows lateg make haste.
