SEATTLE COLLEGE ANNUAL 11 FOREWORD The students of Scuttle College are to be congratulated uf on this, the third appearance of the Palestra.” This publication is an added proof of the good will and loyalty of our students. But, moreover, it is an exposition of the work which is carried on in their English Classes, and indicates a spirit of study and research. I cannot impress too strongly upon the student body the necessity of careful training in English, both in the authors and in the art of composition. The result of this training will constitute one of the criteria by which you and your College will be judged by the world. And because the annual numbers of the Palestra are helping to the desired end of producing educated men, capable of correct invention and exposition, feel that it is no more than just to encourage the Editor, his assistants, and the whole Student Body in their efforts to produce a representative magazine. JOSEPH TOM KIN, S. J.

12 T II K PA LESTRA ALMA MATER, SALVE A youth afloat on 'rime's beguiling tide, Life’s journey just begun all dazzling bright, Morality, my need, I sought thy light; As some small stream, unfit alone to glide, Meanders to the river for a guide. And evermore when in a sorry plight To learn the facts that seemed lost in night. Endeavour, was thy sermon; so I tried. Restraints thou hadst to put upon my ways, Sincerely dealt, e’en leaving me more free As careful nursing helps the sapling grow. Lo! there it comes, the aim of many days,— Victorious I go. Farewell! Forme Eternal thoughts of thee shall brightly glow. Joseph McKexma, ’15.
