On, Campus How often have we paused upon The steps above the long expanse OF gravel way and brilliant lawn, While students pass and hurry on Te Frazer Field or Residence, Swift foot, beneath a falling sun. The baseballs flashing twirl and spin From hand to glove at pitch and catch. Across the path, tree-shadows lean: Far off, white pillars show between. Glimmers and flickers like a match, Each grass-blade, a tiny flame of green. Like actors in a scene that's played, The students walk from door to door, Or, rank on rank, in measured speed, Recross the trampled green and tread The slopes where linden pillars soar To meet the columned white facade. Old College, veteran of the place, Vines scale your ivory and red. Howi often have we lifted face In yeuthful reverence to trace Grave cornices, broad roofs, that spread A classic grandeur for our praisel Heow often shall we see again Olympic sports on Frazer Field, The hardened muscles tug and strain, The light foot speed to cross the line. How often shall cur dreams be thrilled With memories of a field of men! Grant Hyde Code
