OH the cid college halls, where . novice dwelti
When yorfh By my dear Alma Mater kneh;
Whereshe taught me to scan with devotion the page
Enriched with the lore Of some bright elder age.
Ny heart mid all changes wherever roam,
Never loses its love for that old college home
Chorus-That old college homo That dear College Halt
Ny heart ever yeIns for that old cherished Hall
Twas there too, found friends reckoned most dear,
| Whose hearts TO mine own have seemed ever since
near
| How we walked and we talked by moonlight and shade,
Unconscious Of nme together st-ayed.
Far brighter to me than proud palace or dome,
Those classic old walls, that loved college home.
Chorus-That old college home, &C.
But now that old home-as IL not the same spot
Is the same in itself though Its inmates not;
And feel like stranger, mid objects veil known,
And nothing see seems TO be now my own;
Yet stl TO my heart weet mem'ries will come
OF the days that passed at that old college home.
| Cborus-That old college home, &c.
