A NEW GLORY FREDERIC STANLEY DUNN Class of 1892 LMA MATER, Mother Oregon, with brow yet young, the long years of adversity have thronged about thee, whose dear eyes, even under the stress of woes, have ever beamed the benediction of hope and faith upon thy children, whose lips have ever seemed parted in happy prophecy, when we of weaker Hber were but blindly gropinge l Mater Beatrix, in whose bosom we first lisped the catechism of man- hood and womanhood, at whose feet we have learned whatsoever things are good and right and beautiful,e Now rest thy distaff briefly, Cara Mater-this shall be gala day for thee and for us. We have come to make jubilee before thee, to acclaim thee in a new ode of yet untried rythm. Like a goddess thou hast ever seemed to us, our Mater Formosa, no coronal too priceless to rest upon that queenly head, no fane half worthy the sacrifice and devotion thou hast given us. It has become a sweet pleas- ure to evidence in some measure our allegiance, our filial love for thee. Thus it is that we have builded for thee a new shrine into whose courts we would now lead thee. Mater Benigna that thou art, thou wilt rejoice to know that this, our new Womanis building, we have named it, is the free- will gift of thy children wheresoever scattered throughout thy domain of field and forest. Every stone, every brick, every particle in this splendid hall is, as it were, impressed with the seal of personal fealty to thee. Oregonia Felix, now seated on thy new throne, with tears of glad- ness glistening 0n thine eye-lashes, how 0ft in past years, when under the Condon oaks or by the old mill race, we have noted those dear eyes lifted in wistful yearning across the horizon. For what wert thou dreaming then? 0 Mater Fidelis, the days of thy travail were weary and long, yet that great heart within thee had but one voice blending prayer and answer in one, llYea, it shall be,-that day when I shall come into mine own. L0! this is now thy day, which shall be to all thy people a new Natal Day, the first day Of a new week. Thy uStabat Mater is past. No more the dreary Vigil, the tedium of delayed fruition, the pioneers fatigue. A new glory is upon thee. How ravishing the crown of Oregon pine about thy dark locks! Hail, hail to thee, Alma Mater, Oregonia Eterna. Twenly-fi-vc
