TO THE UNIVERSITY Down from thy borders on the North. From Cape Fear and the southern plain ; From midland and from mountain forth, From storm-front on the eastern main ; From other states and other lands Thy foster-sons, with glad desire, Hasten to join their hearts and hands Aronnd one centra! altar-fire. O, Alma Plater, grand and true! Our petty selves are merged in thee, As clouds melt in the arching blue — As wavelets sink into the sea ! Mother and Guide ! the praise is thine If aught of worth these pages show ; Thy spirit is a lamp to shine Athwart the path our feet must go. Take then the record ; as. in truth. Ourselves, long since, thou didst receive, — The good, in joy; the ill, in ruth, — Since all, for thee, we would retrieve. If we have mirrored fair thy face ; If we have pictured true the spell That binds us to thy heart of grace — O, .■Mma Mater, it is well ! -.1 . G. H.

THE BEACON In the western sky a star. Low over the tossing sea, — A maid with a light afar. Waiting at the shore for me. Crawling waves about my boat. My soul athirst for the fight. Alone in the deep afloat. Around me the circling night. In the distant night a star. A beacon across the sea, — A maid with a light afar. Waiting at the shore for me. -S. H. Lvlc. Jr
