THE GOLDEN ROD. AMERICA. Bright daughter of the western world, Thy brow begemmed with glowing stars, Thy banner to the breeze unfurled. Thy children freed from slavery’s bars,— Thou standest freest of the free, And fairest thou of all most fair; From sounding sea to sounding sea There is no air but freedom’s air. Majestic beauty of the west! I love thy mountains, proud and steep: I love thee, dearest land and best Of all lands under heaven’s blue deep. Thou standest like an an el bright, And welcomest unto thy breast The refugees from tyrant’s might To thy safe haven of the west. —Frederic Allison Tupper. COLLEGE CRIES. As well as printed characters can convey sounds, we produce be- low the distinctive slogans of the principal colleges, though cold type can but faintly convey the effect of the union of a hundred student voices articulating their own peculiar cry:— Harvard—Rah, rah, rah; Rah, rah, rah; Rah, rah, rah! Harvard! Yale—Rah, rah, rah; Rah, rah, rah; Rah, rah, rah! Ya-a-le! Columbia—Rah, rah, rah! C-o- 1-u m-b-i-a! Dartmouth—Wah, hoo, wah; wah, hoo, rah; Dar-d-d-Dartmouth! Tiger. Princeton—Rah, rah, rah; S-s-s-t, boom, ah-h-h! Rutgers—Rah, rah, rah; Bow- wow-wow! Union—Rah, rah, rah; U-n'-i-o-n, hikah, hikah, hikah! Williams—Will-iams, Will-iams, Will-yums, yams, yums! Williams! University of Vermont—Rah, rah, rah; Rah, rah, rah; U. V. M.! Rah, rah! Bowdoin---B-o-w-d-o-i-n ! Rah, rah, rah! Cornell—Cor-nell! I yell, yell, yell! Cornell! Hamilton—Rah, rah, rah, Ham- ilton! Zip, rah, boom! Amherst—Rah, rah, rah! Am- herst-i-a! Wesleyan—Rah, rah, rah, rah, Wes-1 ey-an-a! Rah, rah, rah! University of Tennessee—Rah, rah, rah-rah-rah; Bim, bim, boom- boom-bah! Rah, rah, rah-rah-rah! EXCHANGE. EDITED BY Cassie Thayer, Josephine V. Gekrish. We had a dream the other night When everything was still, We dreamt that each subscriber came Right up and paid his bill. But ’twas only a dream ! —[Ex. Good sketches of the life of Whittier are found in the Premier and the Echo. The High School Times, Dayton, Ohio, is an excellent paper. It ranks among our best exchanges. It has a very neat and pretty cover. An excellent poem on “Colum- bus” and a fine picture represent- ing Columbus before Queen Isa- bella and her councillors are fea- tures of the Seaside Torch for Oc- tober. Difficult Things.—A great philo- sopher says there are three things which are difficult: To keep a se- cret, to forget an injury, and to make good use of leisure.—[Sea- side Torch. We see by the High School Gleaner that at Pawtucket, R. I., they are 7'eally to have a new High School building, and that at no distant day. YVe in Quincy have good grounds for similar hopes. We suggest that the material contained in the High School World be arranged better. The advertisements are mixed up with the reading matter so that it is an- noying to try to read it. Above all things a composition should not be separated into parts by columns of advertisements. We take the liberty of reprodu- cing the following from an article in the High School World con- cerning the Debating society: “Debating helps to form a per- son’s character. It acts as a school of elocution by reason of competi- tion. It trains a person to digest all subjects thoroughly, and to form his own opinion regarding them, instead of taking another’s opinion.”

THE GOLDEN ROD. printed in a newspaper called the Free Press. Encouraged by his success he sent other poems, all anonymous, to the editor. They attracted the attention of the edi- tor so strongly that he inquired of the postman who sent them, and decided to go and see Whittier. They became friends, and for a quarter of a century Whittier was associated with the editor in anti- slavery labors. When a boy Whittier worked at the trade of shoemaking, for it was the custom of those days to do a little cobbling, and during that time and afterward he attended several academies. In 1830 he was invited by the publishers of the New England Weekly Review to take the place of the editor, while the latter had gone to Ken- tucky to write a campaign life of Henry Clay. Some of his pleasing poems are “Barbara Frietchie,” “Snowbound,” “At Sundown,” “Maud Muller,” and “Mabel Martin.” In 1884 his 77th anniversary was celebrated, and later his 78th and 79th. When he became an octogenarian in 1887 he was still active, firm, erect, and full of cheerfulness. On his birth- day he received many beautiful presents. He died at Newbury- port, Sept. 5, 1892, at the age of 85. —Ada B. Thompson, ’94. SOME ANCIENT STEAM EN- GINES. Morland, in 1683, built steam engines for mines.
