Tin ffiemoriam Through the sudden death of Beatrice Mcf'um- ber, i)f the class of 1020, Kipon College lost one of its most earnest and loyal students, whose absence- bus btvn keenly felt by faculty and student body alike. Slie died at her home at Itosendale on March 5, W20, after but a short Illness with diphtheria. During her first year at Kipon, “Bee” lived at Bartlett, but. for the past three years bad been a member of Harwood Hall, holding the office of president of the dormitory during the term pre- ceding her death. She was a memlier of the Senior class, and would have been graduated with it in June of this year, had she lived. She will be missed not only by the members of her class, but bv all who knew her. Oh! can it he that death has claimed The precious one our hearts held dear? That never more she'll grace our lives. That never more her voice we'll hear? Oh, can it be no loving care. Our friend from death's embrace could save? No human love, however great, Could keep her from her early grave? But. oh! it does not. cannot seem. That she should sleep to wake no more; For when alone, we list to hear Her eager footstejis on the floor; And when the twilight shadows fall. Now soft and low. now full and clear, We seem to hear her voice in song. The songs she loved to sing while here. Ir does not seem, and yet wo know, That she now sleeps the last, long sleep, While we are pilgrims here below, Where weary mortals wait and weep. Cod moves in a mysterious way ; We may not read Ilis great design: We bow. submissive to His will. And in Ilis hands our friend resign. — J. A. J. “21. BEATRICE MeCrMBF.lt
