Come reader , view these thoughts we pen, That plucks the cords of past-spent days, While fond remembrance lingers on In favorite spot, in well-trod ways. Our tale is short, its pages few, The grains of time run sure, flow fast, We spend our moments on joy’s stage, The play of college — Act the last. These pages brief, how little told ! How helpless is the author’s pen To write the story of the youth That vanished quick and left us men. Yet we have tried to gather all Those treasured hours in one book; To render those four gladsome years Adapted to your passing look. Come reader, pass your judgment now, The sun is setting on our day, And silver stars dot evening’s sky, So we must start to go away. Though smile you at our bantering tone, Beneath it all, hard to deceive, Is found a bit of pathos sad — The hour has struck. We note must leave.

WHITE BLUE FOREWORD In presenting this volume it is not our intention to set forth a masterful piece of writing, such as will stand unchanged under the eroding sands of time for all to read and praise; nor do we intend to present a chrono- logically exact and utterly dry history of the major events at Setonia during our sojourn here. But this ice do intend — to capture in writing if possible the classes we’ve at- tended and cut, the aims, hopes, and ideals we’ve shared, the hands we’ve clasped in greeting and farewell, the pleasant and sorrowful moments we’ve spent together , the events we’ve seen and the places ice’ve attnded. Please bear this in mind, fair reader, when criticizing our work, and on going furthr into this volume try to realize that we have just attempted to recapture four happy years ! Ad Altiora!
