A step into the mist of life! The future lies before, An endless chain of seething strife For life, for food — no more. The world lies waiting, vast and new, A region unexplored; The vision widens at our view To greater than before. RUTH COPLEY. A. B. Ruth . Philosophy and Education.

The changeless centuries lie behind Revealed on history ' s page: The large creations of the mind, The deeds of every age. To us the task to recreate The work of those who ' ve gone; And still we stand and hesitate; Time flees, and work is long. The world has many things to give; The gate wide open lies: A step, and we commence to live, To seek the longed-for prize. Our college days forever past, Out into life we go, To rise, to sink, to win at last The boon of those who know. A step into the mist of life ! A step into the blue, Into the world of unknown strife, To watch, and work, and do. W. F. P. 14
