Class of 1901. QQ DO remember very Well And most delightfully do tell g How in the fall of '97, Uust two hours before elevenj Wlleii the bell her clamorous call, Through every open door and hall, Significant, did send for all. And right well do I remember, On that third day of September, How each member,-excepting few, Like Danny Hamm and Percy Ruhe g Excepting Shimer, Landis, toog To Dr. W.'s ,giininer drew. The desk we saw with wond'ring eyes 3 For, every one expressed surprise At names recorded, half precise, VVith pin and pencil, chalk and knife. Himself, the Doctor, sat behind, And on it piled 'Der Qgilgenbfyreillxbg Which most could read in accents clear Without a doubt, without a fear. Beside me sat one young and fair g His eyes were blue, and black his hair. And, sure enough, he has it yet, For Xkfofejrth he was and Worth is yet. There was another we all looked at 5 For he, indeed, was very fat. He moved not much, for he was one That sits and shakes his sides in fun. Cf all I saw that autumn morn, I will but few like these adorn. I will not speak of Schofer, J. g I will not speak of Georgie K 5 Why should I mention NV. P. ? Or Why mention Clarence B. ? These do remain among the few That always were and will be true. 30

Indeed, there are not many sons Like those that form the Naughtfyl Onefsj At first, 'tis true, our ranks were stout, But, soon again, a host dropped out g Some, perhaps, of self desire 3 Some, perhaps, could mount no higher g And some, l'n1 sure, were minus Ere. So, now, we constitute no more Than simply four and five times four g The wheat from which the chaff 's removed g For we are tried and well approved By those who know and ought to know, How seeds are sown and how they grow. Without a spur, without a whip, QD Do we attain our scholarship. So whether Kai or mb or Avy, Or, whether num or sum or se g Or, Whether ,,ja or yar or yea, We do not mount to quickly ride, But, boldly do we forward stride g With weapons that are keen and bright. But let us not ourselves disgrace By putting 'A self into the place Of others. For there are others VVhom we might well call brothers, just as brave and just as true g Known by nie, and known by you. Nor let us now anticipate g For I am sure that we should wait On Time, that better judge of all, And, when the future shall reveal 'What now the present must conceal g When fortune begins to make allot, Be not any then forgot : Come she soon or come she late, Let us each, contented, wait.
