Donai d jjcKen .ie, ’97. By the death of William Morris, a notable figure has passed away. Seldom do we hear of a mind so versatile. He was a poet and an artist who not only expressed him- self in word-poems and pictures but who brought his poetic instinct and artistic sense, combined with Eng- lish pvacticableness into the common every day life of our homes. Many held that his socialistic tendencies were too radical, but his was the better socialism, “not a leveling down but a leveling up.” He earnestly longed and labored to make life less hard and stringent for all men. Among his earlier writings. “Summer Dawn,” is perhaps the best, later “Poems by the Way,” “The Life and Death of Jason,” “ Odyssey of Ilomer” and other works were published, but he is best known by the poem, “ An Earthly Paradise.” “When aweary of your mirth, From full hearts still unsatisfied ye sigh, And, feeling kindly unto all the earth, Grudge every nfinute as it passes by, Made the more mindful that the sweet days die, Remember me a little then I pray, The idle singer of an empty day.” j. “The time of snow! ” we said, not yet, Flushed with suffusions of regret, Out of the south October came, Setting the forest’s heart aflame.” The general editors, knowing so well the earnest efforts put forth by the former editors of the Golden Rod, feel justified in asking our readers to exercise patience until we have had an opportunity, to prove our ability in the editorial depart- ment. The work of the fall term has begun in earnest. The long summer vacation has given pupils and teachers a force and vigor which all heartily enjoy. Now is the time to take advantage of these oppor- tunities which are so lavishly granted us. As we notice the anxiety our teachers feel that we may grasp and hold what they so freely offer, may we gratefully rouse all our energies, and do credit to the efforts which are made in our behalf. b.
