OLLA PODR I DA 1972 Uhis book may seem, as others have before it, A needless record of prosaic fact; Some will accept it, others will deplore it For what it,s overdone and what its lacked. We trust that memory will last forever, Although on every hand we see it fade In father, teacher, friend once quick and clever- No need, we say, of books for memoryls aid. We err, though with a young and generous error: The present, now sharp-focussed, will recede, Slowly and gentl , not with shock and terror, But softly, wit n0 signals we can heed. Then books which summon u the past are welcome, Rescued at length from high and dusty shelves; Some like the echoes of a college bell come T0 mind us of our young unbroken selves. And this is one of those-at least it should be- If eye and pen and camera are well used; It bears the promise of the things that could be If work and wisdom should not be refused. Here are the ames, the girls, the wine-and-roses, The faces 0 the friends who never failed; Here are the arms entwined in silly poses And scenes of disappointments that assailed. Put it on that high shelf, and think it banished, Holding the beautiful, the gay, the odd, The sudden hope that on the morrow vanished- All that was Wesleyan, here in OLLA POD. Lay it aside for now: perhaps a daughter, Perhaps a son, even erhaps a w1e Will scan the page with eyes that quickly water In mirth-or pity-at our college life. Richard Leighton Greene Wilbur Fisk Osborne Professor of English April 8, 1972
