Pygmies are pygmies still, though perched on Alpsg And pyramids are pyramids in vales. Each man makes his own stature, builds himself. Virtue alone outbuilds the Pyramids. Her monuments shall last when Egyptls fall. H-YOUNG.

Dedication To RALPH EDWARDS In action thoughtful, in honor clear, Who broke no promise, served no private end, Who gained no title, and who lost no friend, Who gave himself and all that he could do. It is for us in these portentous days, Who glimpse his aims, to see his labors through It is for us, to strive, our life to give, To carry on that dreams so great may live.
