Ulma iflater Dear Temple mine. Your sons benign To praise if our honored name: They e’er mill striae To keep alive Your glory and your fame. Your faculty. The majesty Of learned books reveal; They do not lire I's to inspire With thoughts of the ideal. Your sacred halls, Your hallowed walls. Upon our hearts impressed: U shall retain Till we attain Our everlasting rest. Our hearts rejoice, Loud rings our voice, Its echoes reach the sky; We. steep our souls In song that rolls To praise you, Temple, high. Leon H. Rose. • ong of tfjc Stream (). drooping traveler, rest ye there. On yonder hank repose. Forget your worry and your care. Your countless pangs and woes. First let me cool vour burning face And sate your slaked throat. Then make yon moss your resting place And watch your dream boats float. Inhale the coolness as you drowse And close those weary eyes; Let songsters ’mongst the rustling houghs Chirp on and rhapsodize. While I with babbling song will woo Some sunbeams here to play. To pierce the gloom surrounding you And lift the shadows gray. 18 Allen S. Dolgin.

with the request for a course and the course was not being given elsewhere in the city he was told to find others who needed the same thing and if ten were found the course would be started. In this way the Evening Law School was founded, and the first courses in Home Economics. The city Normal School was only training elementary teachers; soon the public schools needed kindergarteners, and teachers of physical training. Temple College organized classes to prepare these teachers. Then the men in the school system felt they must have their college degrees and that they must get them outside of school hours;-they appealed to Temple University when they had been refused elsewhere. Dr. Conwell retained his personal interest in every appeal that came; he met these men and the first class for teachers working for a degree was formed. Three hundred of these teachers have earned their degrees in this way. So department bv department the college grew, its work became more highly organized and its name was changed to Temple University, a university that began with seven students and one class, but which numbers today 10,000 students, and all the departments of a great university. All through the strenuous years with all these enterprises in hand the necessity continued for Dr. Conwell to go up and down the length and breadth of our land lecturing to audiences great and small, traveling night and day that money might be forthcoming when needed to keep things going. Because of his own earlv struggles he was perhaps peculiarly interested in young men who wanted to make good; he helped these young men not only in Philadelphia, but all over the country. But apart from the service the money earned rendered, the lecture itself, be it “Lessons of Travel,” “Daniel Manin,” “Garibaldi,” “The Silver Crown,” “The Angel’s Lily,” or “Acres of Diamonds,” had the fundamental theme ever the same if a man will make the most of himself, will give his best service to others, he will serve God best and be happiest himself. One of his lectures closes with this quotation: He most lives who thinks most, feels the noblest, acts the best.” As a lecturer he taught more people the great fundamental truths of life than any other man of his century. He wrote many books on many subjects. But the supreme achievement was the founding and development of Temple University. His last message to Temple University was asking assurance that his great program for it should be carried out. On December (i. 1925 his body was taken from us, but his spirit still leads us and his beloved university will go on as a living memorial to him. 17
