8 THE TALLY Editorial Like some swarthy muezzin calling his people to prayer, there’s a song pealing from the minaret of my mind, calling my thoughts to a memory of the past four years. It’s a swan song, this song. And it’s a beautiful, fa- miliar song, this swan song. It is a song of joy, anticipation, sorrow, failure, triumph. It first steals upon the mind with a halting, joyful, uncertain lilt, full of a wonder and awe. It is thus that our song interprets the Freshman year. It changes now; it is of the Sophomore year that it now sings. There is more volume, a bit of the wavering is gone, swallowed by a deeper tone which is beginning to be heard. There is a more brazenly, resonant quality to it, there is an almost steady beat which gives way to a swell which intro- duces the Junior year. There are many swells now; there is joy; there are some crashes as of cymbals. We are sure of our footing. The wavering note disappears entirely, supplanted here and there by a bar of triumph, But a note of sadness has begun to creep in. Midst all the joy and blare, a plaintive strain of melody is rising and falling, scarcely perceptible, but strengthening into the measure by which the Senior year is preceded. It is the most plaintive of all, the Senior year. It is the most triumphal, too. There are bits of exquisite, joyous melody, there are bits of rhapsody, there are bits of a poignantly sorrowful strain. It is the sorrow of farewell that this song expresses now. A sorrow which is not a child of melancholy but a child of memory. It is ending now. It is reaching its climax. The melody swells to a glorious culmination. It is ended and it fades until it is gone. Yes, it’s a beautiful song, this swan song, as beautiful as we have made it for ourselves during these four years. U. S. B. ----o----- Daniel Webster and the Indestructibility of the Union On the eighteenth of January of the year seventeen hundred and eighty- two there was born in the small village of Cassandras, New Hampsire, a frail, weakly boy, whom the neighbors predicted would die in early childhood. Little did the mother know of the iron constitution concealed in the frail body of this child. This juevenile phenomenon was Daniel Webster. I need not dwell further on the youth and education of this man, who was destined to become one of the greatest orators that the world has ever produced, unless to say that he had an insatiable desire for reading and an outstanding faculty of rapid acquisition, combined with a burning zeal to acquaint himself more with the things which pertained to his own and his country’s betterment. The first speech which was delivered by the “Iron Orator,” which ap- proached the later perfected eloquence, was presented on a bill against the encouragement of enlistments. I think Mr. Lodge summed up the whole matter when he said that Webster was now master of the style at which he aimed. This speech typified the elasticity and vigor of his destined force. His deliberate and measured phrases conveyed themselves with favor to the previously doubting ears of his fickle audience. He wielded his powerful weapon of sarcasm with formidable strength and wisdom, a weapon which was always feared by his most worthy opponents,
