o» c STORY OF THE TREES the meadows, through the wheatfields, comes a breath of summe And it rustics through the branches of our old McKendree trees: Let us listen for a moment to the stun that it tells, As it mingles with the music of the old McKendree hells. Let it tell iif virgin forests, sown in ages long before, lire the eye of tlie explorer ever tested mi our shore : How they waved above the builders of the mounds we see today, Temples fur their early worship, or tii lay their dead away. Let it tell i ' t other races coming mi to take their place, Painted peoples of the prairies, bent mi war or on the chase: Tell ut pioneer and settler, men of faith and hardy breed, As they laid the bounds of cities and of culture sowed the seed. Let it tell of Christian fathers, gathered piously in prayer, As the ' patterned out the vision of a school and campus fair: Tell nf toiling and of labor, sacrifice of wealth and ease, As they hewed a Hall nf Learning from the old McKendree trees. Tell a century of service, people gathered far and near. laim the happ) record of our Centenar} year; rising from the forest, lifted up in grateful prayer ! ' r the living and the learning that our school had builded there. to linger ' neath the old McKendree trees, stoi coming in upon the breeze, And we vision fur the future, happy ages drawing nigh, nd leafy branches tower upward to tin- sky.
