enjoyment. And why not ? Why should we not at once learn each other and begin to enjoy ourselves with one another, since we are destined to live for four long years together? It is said that acquaintances formed at college are never, never forgotten. True, indeed, will it be in this case. At present it is our intention to graduate in ’98. Then, although we shall separate to go to the north, cast, south and west, in fact, to every part of the entire State, we shall be separated by distance only. Many times did we together display our brilliancy in the classrooms, and all too often was that “ sigh of relief ” experienced by every member of the Freshman Mathematics. Virgil and Xenophon alike also caused those restless moments, and sweetly, oh, how sweetly did the sound of the gong giving notice of the expiration of the hour fall upon the ears of the unprepared. But there yet remain three years more in which we may make amends for past zeros, or to continue in winning distinctions. And when '98 does come it shall find the class of its year, the most dazzling ornament to the State, the University has ever been able to produce. Then we leave school and its honors for others, and with our banners of crimson and white, we will proudly and grandly march out and deploy upon the actual avenues of life, dominating wheresoever we shall chance to pitch our tents, until finally merging together at the crystal gates, with those banners still waving unstained we shall bow with humbleness touched with loyalty to the coming classes and pass away from this field of work forever. “ But we have not done with music, no, nor with rhyme .... so long as boys whistle and maids sing.” —EMERSON. So long as boys and maidens sing We have not done with song or rhyme; So long as youthful hearts true ring E’en students will have joy to sing Of fancy light in measured time. And what in happy spring so sweet As early robin's caroled lay! And naught, “ if men were wise to see’t,” In youth lime season is so sweet As song from carefree hearts and gay. Then sing and sing, O little birds, Of opening buds and sunny darts! And, Freshmen, sing in happy words And set to music, as the birds. The song within your joyful heart. 26
