C. D. Smith, Mathematics FELLOWS VV. W. Little, J. W. McKay, Mathematics German Youth and Age Strong in his youth, man dreams himself a god,— He tells with words the story of an age, From pole to pole his beaten paths are trod. The seas and rivers feel his unpent rage, With ropes and cloth he strives the wind to cage, And with a foot-rule measures off the sky, He makes himself a judge, and for a wage He seeks the sacred things of life to buy. And then when man grows old, and comes to die He sees the frailty of the thing he’s done ; And turns again, and gladly comes to lie Beneath the ever tender hand of One Who gave him power to lifJThis eyes above, To work, to hope, to taste of life, and love.

Mississippi Splendid emblem of the nation Rippling in the wind today, With your stars of white and crimson, Symbol of the people’s sway, Float forever, float forever, With your galaxy of stars, Types of power, strength, and warfare, Jove, and Hercules, and Mars. One a star for Mississippi, For the old Magnolia State, Mother of a score of giants, Parent of the ancient great. She has given us a Davis, And a Prentis, and a Stone, She has given us a Walthall, George and Barksdale are her own. She is fair, and free, and wealthy, Strong with vigor, ripe with years, Tempered by the storms of sadness, Softened by a flood of tears. Pure is peace, and strong in combat, Wise is crises, rich in thought, Lofty in her Southern honor, We can read the truths she taught. Matchless was her past. We glory In the things her man have done, Regal in her splendid present, Shining as the dazzling sun. And the future holds a promise, Growing to a prophecy, Mississippi, still we love her, Mississippi, hail to thee! P. H. L.
