®o (But lunuii Now 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 embark 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, brother 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 lear old hall. So that your Alma Mater ' s heart May feel your footsteps fall. L ' envoi Dream on, old boy, dream on toniglit — There ' s a vacancy back here That you may fill again tonight By the gift of just one tear. R. C. 1 . Ten

Yet down into the inmost depths Of the old boys ' thoughts we trace So many a heart-beat let to live For his Alma Mater ' s race. All golden are those little beats Of days when all was gold. When college claimed our heart and hand And her Spirit claimed our soul. And each alumnus when he reads And knows his past here lives. Shall feel a tightening ' round his heart That only happiness gives. — All Aluniniis. m Tvelve
