Henry ' s, or that our poetry has neither MiUonic majesty nor Tennysonian charm, we trust tliat you will find what is better, that we have been typical Wake Forest men. true always to the best traditions of our College.

If you are an old grad. searching to learn whether we ha e been loyal to the old ideals, may you find that Elijah ' s mantle has fallen on no unworthy shoulders! If you be perchance a fair damsel, looking eagerly for some familiar face, may you find both it and the owner ' s record free from blemish!
