«?= Alma Mater 1. Broadcast your radiant rays Of wisdom and light galore, Brightened the paths of our ways, Which led to successes door. Leading us on with your fame And sons who shall love you e ' er. Boldly to you we all came To learn and be taught our share. Wiser you made us each one. You taught us the new and old, Guiding us on as your son. Our characters you did mould. Feeling that now we know more. Enough to go anywhere, Laurels we ' ll earn by the score — For you and for us to share. Green we did come, it is true. From hamlet and country seat. Quickly we shook off the dew When motherly love did greet. Home was not near we did know, Our folks were far, far away, Lonesome we never could grow. Your spirit did make us gay. B C D S we must leave, How swiftly the time did fly, Ever for you we will grieve. And ever for you will we sigh. B C D S we shout praise And honor with all our breath; Pleasant indeed were your days, Our thoughts are with you — ' till death. R. H. B. ' 22. 14

The same psycholog- ical facts pertain to every phase of human act- ivity. We are rarely able to estimate the im- portance of even the ordinary events of our daily lives and frequently say of the results of this or that happening, Time will tell . This is true as well of College Life with its many sided activities. Here are gath- ered men from every section of the globe bound together by the common ties of humanity and mutual professional interest. We meet in the lecture hall, the infirmary, the laboratory,the fraternity hall, the home. We engage in close association in all the varied pursuits common to life in such institutions. Here are formed acquaintanceships which ripen into friendship and deepen with the passing of time and the influence of association. Here are fostered mu- tual interests in different types of professional service and various phases of student activity. Here are engendered confidence or distrust, fond ness or prejudice, respect or indifference for offi- cial or lecturer or demonstrator; and as the in- fant learns to lisp the name of Mother so the student comes into consciousness of his relation- ship and learns to respect or even to reverence the name of Alma Mater. But during the College days there is in all of these relations and associations and activities so much of detail, so much that ob- 16
