In Memoriam Those who love ami serve shall never die. DR. CLARENCE A. BARBOUR, President of Brown University, a distinguished leader of educational and religious thought, a valued Trustee of Worcester Academy from 1929 to 1937. Dr. Barbour was a profound student of life, a teacher of great power, an eloquent speaker, a minister to mankind, a man for whom it was natural to look unto the hills, yet one who could look straight ahead toward reality. He was a true friend Whose capacity for Service, devotion to truth, simplicity, and kindness marked him as a great servant of the Master whom he gladly served. Resolved, therefore, that there be recorded in the permanent records of Worcester Academy this expression of belief that in the passing of Dr. Barbour, Worcester Academy has lost a wise and devoted friend, our country one of its great Christian gentlemen. Fon THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES or WORCESTER ACADEMY Chapin Riley, Secretary May 14, 1937 Time declares their good and proves their immortality. MR.

Fair Worcester AIR-FAIR HARVARD Fair Worcester enthroned on the hills in thy pride With the city domes gleaming below, A gem on the robe of a beautiful bride, Or a crown on a beautiful brow. Thy children return to thy favorite halls With more joy than the home-flying dove, Their hearts beat with gladness to answer thy calls, As they bring thee their tribute of love. Dear nurse of our childhood! dear friend of our youth! To our hearts what fond memories throng 5 From thy chalice we qualfed the rich draughts of thy truth, And our souls through thy strength were made strong. No landscape was ever so fair to be seen, No such sunsets crown day's busy hours, No friends like the friends of our boyhood have been And no mem'ries as happy as ours. O favored of Heaven, thy sons have engraved Their bright names on the wreaths of thy fame. To guard thee and guide thee, around thee has waved God's broad pillar of cloud and of flame. Still onward and upward pursue thy fair march, Like an army with banners unfurled, While God bends above thee His covenant arch And before thee lies waiting the world. -S. F. SMITH Author of America H H
