4 rose dawn of the Don has paled, the gray dawn of the Pioneer has faded . . . they are now memories in the drowsy eve- ning that colors the century. There is a delicate fragrance, a soft loveliness in this mauve decade that embraces within its span of years soft twilights in deep shadowed corridors of the college, long evenings when the scent of verbena loiters in the lamplit streets . . . The shadows lengthen-the ghosts of evening tune their lyres and sing with hushed voices the anthems of a century. The faint light fades and drifts along the streets, touching in after glow the classic walls of the college, in whose misty lealiness of bowered walks a murmuring fountain whispers the dreams that youth in kindred springs have confided in the moist shadows of its graceful sanctuary.

HE wraiths lift slowly at Meniory's beckon- ing-and another-a newer era stands re- vealed. The city is the roistering giant at the gateway of the West-a hundred flags crowd its wharves and a thousand streets entwine its domain, but close to its throbbing heart is its college-- enthroned in a inanner befitting the lirst born and the first loved. Yet the still, ealin, graeiousness has passed, from the raniparts of the world Adventure swirls its red cloak. The century resounds with inar- tial note, seions of the city and sons of the college niareh shoulder to shoulder down the Avenue, the long line of blue pauses before the gate of the college -a blaeltrobed teacher raises his arin in blessing-the regiment swings away, that inoinent is part of this book.
