Grant this our one request. Oh God-of Light! And we will e’er perform each sacred rite Demanded by thy great unyielding will. And so my wish I pray do thou fulfill. And thou. Calliope, sweet voiced one, Mother of him who Stygian waves could dare. Of him who sang so sweet that growing ceased, And even beasts would leave their hidden lair, Come thou to this poor worshipper of thine And help him to disclose in metered rhyme Thai which Apollo, son of mighty Zeus, To me vouchsafes to tell of future time. Help me portray in lines of glowing truth What Phoebus says will truly come to pass; What he declares will lx the future state Of members of the glorious Faultless Class. ’Twas thus at Delphi, on one summer's night. I prayed to great Apollo, God of Light, And when I stopped. I heard a low sweet voice Say—“Enter, wanderer, I will grant thy choice.” 1 entered to tlx inner shrine, when lo! No lamps were there, yet all around a glow— As if some softly shaded light were there— Dispelled the gloom within that house of prayer. I saw no man within the sacred fane Yet shortly that sweet voice I heard again. This time it said in accents low. yet clear. “Ask now thy questions; lo, I, listening, hear.’’ “Oh thou divine and unseen, hidden one Hear now this question from thy humble son. What will the Faultless Class, in some ten years. Be doing in this 'lonely vale of tears'?” Then shook the walls by thunder riven. And shaken by the God of Heaven, And as offense I thought I’d given. To that Olympian deity, T threw me down upon the floor. And in my fright I trembled sore And prayed this same prayer o’er and o’er, “Oh, pity my humanity!” 27

THEODORE M. STUART. President. ANNETTE BADGLEY. Secretary. AN INTERVIEW WITH THE DELPHIAN ORACLE Hence! Cod of Time! How durst thou stay so near When that divine Apollo cometh here? Begone! And take with thee thy pruning knife! Today we look beyond this present life! And thou, oh great Apollo, at thy shrine Behold me suppliant to thy power divine. I come, thou greatest seer in all the world, Seeking a favor at thy hands; Tis not for me alone, but for my class. That I have traveled over seas and lands. Tis this I ask. that thou wilt prophesy. What this our class in future time may be; W'hat places we may fill, what duties have, W hen we are out upon life's rugged sea. 26
