The students Of the Free Academy are determined to
show their patriotism. Yesterday was witness 70 the
raising Of Of the largest and handsomest flags in the
city. II will be remembered that the Fres Academy
raised the first flag Of any college public institution Of
learning in the city, the 10th Of April The one
hoisted then not answering the wants Of the students
either size beauty the present flag was procured by
contributions Of the professors and students exclusively
The exercises consisted of the raising Of the coos BY
the venerable President, Dr. Horace Webster amid the
hearty cheers and tigers Of the students and the dip.

Snow, Jr., OF the Junior class
Unfuyl the glorious banner,
The red, the white, the blue,
And swear with sacred fervor
That we'll be over true
TO IT, patriotic meaning,
10 Ito watchword fond and dear,
And that In tho cause OF freedom
sn Our hearts shallknow no fear.
Over this our Alma Mater
Wen rear our standard high,
And leave II ever pointing
Up TO the far Off eky.
Thai II shall eer remind us
or the promises Of now
That God shall ever find us ~
True to our solemn VOW.
That we are young, they tell us,
But they forget that still
Our youthful hearts are beating
With pure and holy thrill,
For this, our cherished Union,
For the country OF the free,
For our sacred homes and fresdes,
For glorious liberty
Our hands shall eer be ready
10 defend starry flag,
And loud cry for vengeance
For 9umters tattered rag.
However dim the. future,
However dark and drear,
To al ManhAttan's students
The Union shall be dear.
But the patriotism Of the Free Academy consists not
only In flag raising Each class Of that institution has
it's representative In army, and If country needs
the service Of the rest they VIII respond noby The stu
dents after singing the ''Sar Hpangled Banner" and
other patriotic songs dispersed with three cheers and
tiger for the institution, the flag and its defenders.
