A-A L asv, Sadly we count the Heeting, golden hours Whicli, when they end, our exodus must mark- Hours when Realizationis smouldering spark. Is kindled-tear-eyed moments like pale flowers. Sweet with the blended 'perfumes of youth's fears And hopes. Our college days have been too brief, And, while we have been dreaming, Time, the thief, Has robbed youth's coffers of four precious years. But, has he not left something? Who can weigh A good book's worth or assay, with a glance, The gold in verses that so gaily dance Through glittering pages wrought hut yesterday? Who, when the lamplight's sympathetic glow Brings nights of music and of mystery, Has not been filled with that rare ecstasy, The humble sort that makes the heart ache so? Who has not seen in pillar, arch and wall More than the mere cold stone, and found a soul In every portion of that living whole, A willing tongue in every trophied hall? Say not within these shrines Tradition's fires With no import nor lofty purpose hurn, In vain the laws and precepts that we learn, To no avail these Gothic shapes and spires! Soon, blatant cities shall their summons send And Industry make claim on each and all, 'Twill then he stimulating to recall The parting handclasps of each faithful friend. Along the thorn-set path, with trenchant knife, Fate strikes, and Circumstance her impress leaves, Sweet, then, to wear the chaplet Learning weaves Symbolic of a richer, fuller life. The hour-glass sand runs through: night cannot wait, V But rushes down. I light the lamp, the while Praying the passing years may gently smile Upon the Class of Nineteen Twenty-Eight. THEODORE L.

VV e are glad that it is our privilege to be here, but we are also sorrowful when we realize that, after today, we are no longer undergraduates, but will have become Penn- sylvania Alumni. , Four years have sped quickly, and it seems such a short time ago that we came to the campus as Freshmen. We have witnessed many changes at Pennsylvania in these four years: a new Irvine Auditorium, the new Hutchinson Gymnasium, a greater Franklin Field, the Palestra and other advancements. So too, there have been many moments of trials and tribulations. Very often there have been great disappoint- ments, when it seemed life just wasnlt worth living. Even last fall when our football team was defeated by Penn State it' seemed at the time as though the bottom had dropped out of everything. However, the anguish of that defeat was completely wiped out by victories over other traditional foes, and later when our basketball team won the Eastern Intercollegiate Championship there was no thought of past defeats, we were too concerned with the joys that come from victory. Life will present many of the same problems and there will be many occasions of disappointment when it will seem nothing could ever be right again, but it will be our task to look ahead and remember that no matter how great the disappointment, it can be forgotten and over- come. At the time a disaster occurs it appears to be the greatest thing in life, but it is soon forgotten, and later considered as a trivial matter. Consider for a moment this small, insignificant sprig of Ivy. To-day we see nothing but a few leaves and a cluster of roots, but within it, and 3 .. n f l L' f N . 5, As' r -M QQ ws 'W if I. at fi LL . Q -2 Q w V- Jer l PIM Z!

Its powers for growth are ',f.lf practically unlimited. It is this token of love and beauty that we, as a class, bequeath to the University, as practically our last oflicial act as undergraduates.
