®o iSincteen Sixteen Once more the hands of time have swung, and another class must go, And hearts are sad as the time draws near, for we hate t( have it so; And it seems to us that are left behind, as the year draws to its close. Like the saddest time yet the gladdest time that the life of a student knows. No more a)u men, so long our guides, will tread the cami)us o’er; You never more will Inick the line, as the frenzied bleachers roar; No more will students know you as unselhsh, time-tried friends, For now you pass the portals on the road that nev’er ends. As rank on rank we see you pass, our grief with gladness blends, For strong and clear the call you hear that sin-racked mankind sends; With clean, true lives and ideals high, from which you’ll never swerve, You go out now to give yourselves — to hght, and love, and serve. May strength be yours and vision clear, the right to see and do. With line flung out the world around, to Springheld still be true! Still tread the path of service, that all her sons have trod. And strong of heart, go! do your part in winning men for God! 7 i.cT- Poarb of €bitor£i Charles E. Crissey Verne C. Parker Edgar H. K. Ellis Anson T. Leary Clarence P. Hammerstein H.

THE. nA5SA5oir --nmETEErr sixtezh (2E ur (E reasurer Springfield College is peculiarly fortunate in its Treasurer, Mr. Henry H. Bowman, President of the Springfield National Bank, who has served now for nineteen years as Treasurer and thirty years as Trustee, not only caring for the funds with scrupulous fidelity hut generously devoting to the promotion of all the interests of the college his wide experience and his mature judgment. Mr. Bowman was one of that group of young Springfield men who learned hanking from Henry S. Lee and whose ideals were formed hy that model Christian business man, so remarkable for his integrity, judiciousness, courtesy, sympathy, and enthusiasm for every patriotic and religious cause. Serving on a number of the most important committees of the Board of Trustees, Mr. Bowman has given freely of his time and thought to all of the fundamental problems of the college, and it has often been due to his foresight and breadth of view that the right course was taken m doubtful matters. Needless losses have been avoided and advantageous arrangements have been made. The dignified furniture of the Trustees room in the Library building — the massive polished oak table and chairs and the beautiful rug — all the gift of Mr. Bowman, may be mentioned as as example both of his generosity and his fine taste. At commencement dinners and on similar social occasions Mr. Bowman is a favorite toastmaster lor he is not only a man of business but a student of the best literature, and as an after-dinner speaker is especially happy in saying the right thing in the right words. His genial good humor and ready wit give the tone to the evening. The general public naturally think most of the athletic, educational, and religious work of the college. All honor to the business men who, standing in the background, by unremitting care of its financial affairs make all the rest possible! Page five
