And falsely have my eyes behold A thing I can ' t believe? I know I ' m wrong, but brother, stop ! Discard your worldly ways For one fleet hour, and hark ye back To live in other days. In those old days of college life You never shall forget, And think you on one truth that is Your college loves you yet. Well do I know that you recall A lad who left his home And traveled here to live beneath The shelter of this dome. And mind you of his timid look When in a Freshman ' s role That meeting of the rats was held — His first step toward the goal? And then how on the football field He watched his team ' s first game. And how th-ere swelled up in his heart A something hard to name? 15

Xow once again the scene is changed, You hear his jolly shout, As in the Sophomore ' s gay garb He sends his challenge out. Then on to Junior ' s happy days You see him, debonair. And hear ' mid dance and pleasure gay His laughter on the air. At last a Senior you behold. With all a Senior ' s pride. But waiting to emliark his raft Upon the ocean ' s tide. Perhaps your heart still may desire To live again that day. But well you know that for us all There comes but once life ' s May. So treat them kindly, Ijrother boy, They ' ll come to you no more. Those Freshman, Junior, Senior years. Or the years of Sophomore. But still on you your college looks. As year piles up on year ; Your life, though you are long since gone, Still holds its impress here. Still do we praise you in our songs And mark each noble deed — Our lives ye mold, as now we reap The harvest of your seed. Today we are the children of The mother you once knew. And we must con those dear old tasks That once were conned by you. Our mother longs for you, big boy. She ' s proud of each good deed ; Where e ' er you go. what e ' er your fate, She wishes you God-speed. So come back just this once in dreams And tread this dear old hall. So that your Alma Mater ' s heart May feel your footsteps fall. L ' Envoi Dream on, old boy, dream on tonight — There ' s a vacancy back here That you may fill again tonight By the gift of just one tear. The Editor. m
