22 VOX COLLEGir We have been sympathizing with the chemistry class lately and when we found these answers in an ex- change, thought they might help them greatly : Were you speaking to me ? I didn ' t hear your question. I don ' t understand, what do you mean ? I can ' t see the board from here. I didn ' t study that far. Why we didn ' t have that for to- day. That ' s as far as I got. I was absent yesterday. I know it, but I cannot express it in words. Beg pardon where ' s the place ? Why, I studied the next chapter, Well it depends. It varies. Why — um — er — ah. ' ' Well— ah. , You mean — a — ' ' Oh , yes — er — why. ' ' Kate Or — I wish you would play that violin more, it makes me think I am in the other world. Grace R. — H ' m, which other world ? Bxchang ' es Our college year is about to close and this is our last edition of the Vox. Our thoughts travel ahead and picture the ones who will occupy , our places, look over other journals, and give to the Vox the helps derived from other college papers. Our posts, as editors of this de- partment, will be given up reluctant- ly, but we wish success and pleasant hours in this work to those who shall assume the responsibility of this office.

The college also directly developes the character along reli- gious and ethical lines, by broaden- ing our views of God, life, man and duty. The Student gives us many in- teresting stories and splendid illus- trations and during, these warm days an hour under a tree with such a good magazine does one much good in examination times. The Postern contains a splendid article on self government in the college. If this can be carried out successfully it should certainly raise the honor standard of the school.

From AUisonia we wish to copv our parting wish : AX AFTKRTHOUGHT. Let us lill the hours with the sweet- est things, Life is ])Ut a day; Let us drink alone at the purest springs In our upward way; Let us work with a life-time ' s zeal in an hour For the hours are few; Let us rest, not for dreams, but for fresher power, To be, and to do. Let us guide our wayward or wear- ied willst By the clearest light; IvCt us patiently climi) the most rug- ged hills, hen tliev lead to right; Let us tramjde the pride and the dis- content, Beneath our feet; Let us take whatever from Heaven is sent. With a trust complete. Let us waste no moments in weak regret, Ivich (lav is, but one, And what we reinember and what we forget. Went out with the sun; Let us ])e from our clamorous selves set free, With a will and a way, To be what the P ' ather would have us be, ' Tis but for a day.
