in the products of their architectural skill ; philosophers who will eventually discover and give to the world the benefit of what they see. In short, all the branches of liberal culture are here re])re- sented, a representative class of a representative institution. We can hardly realize that the f(jur years are i)ast, time has not leaden wings for us. .Ks we close our eyes the whole scene riaslies Ix ' fore us and we seem to live over again tlie events of cnir sojourn here. ( )ur first sight of the old buildings, the first lectures, our fear of the professors we have since learned to admire. The vivid picture of our first Commencement is now before us. The visiting calic. the stifiing heat of baccalaureate Sunday, the thrill- ing excitement of the boat race as with tense nerves we watch the struggle for the mastery. At last the Final Ball, the fascinating whirls, the whispered words (of wliat only the guilt v know) and a year is gone. So each flies before us greatly alike in most respects, vet each characterized by some momentous event. Again we are laughing and joking with the old familiar faces some of whom we have loved long since and lost a while, gone forever from our lives, r ' riend- ships such as these made at College are only broken by death ' s cold grasp. The present comes before us and even now we can almost hear the cry, Naughty Xaught is dead, long live Naughty One, and our heart grows sad as we heave a sigh at the thought of the coming separation. No more will we tread the old familiar halls, or lounge in our favorite nook on the campus content in our ha])pi- ness. A sterner future is before us. No more will we cheer our fellows from the side lines, no more lead the ' cops an exciting midnight sprint to safety. And the night wind seems to whisper with Poe ' s Raven, Nevermore. Our requiem has been sung. The pen fails us, the head falls on the breast and we are sad over the past and uncertain for the future. Without, the pale moon is slowly sinking behind the hills in the west, shedding her pale light on the sleeping tow n. She is resigning her reign of the night to the greater orb of the day. We look to the east and behold. jocund day stands tiptoe on the misty mountain top. Over the crest we see the first rays of the morning sun and in this glorious radiance of the god of a new day we see the figure of Ambition beckoning- us on. E. D. S.
