Before my mind come fitting to andaro
Just as they used TO twenty years ago.
where are they now7 why some have rise j high,
Aiming their arrows ever at the sky
Some were too wayward, and have gone assray;
Some hold the even tenor OF tnen Wayi
Some are recording an immortal name
With gilded letters on the scroll OF fame;
Some have departed hence and laid them low,
And some remain from twenty years ago.
Among the dead the lest lamented one
Whom God calf'd home was Walter Williamson,
Firm at his post soldier in the cause,
Nor age nor reputation bade him pause;
onward his march in search Of golden truth,
Friend to the aged, Mentor to the youth,
Ardent and earnest In the paths hertrod-
An honest man-the nobest work Of Godl
He was my friend, and he has told me 50.
Fen when student-twenty years ago.
All, Alma Mater as our hair grows gray,
And spirits ebbing, gradually portray,
The march Of years-we honor thee the more,
Connecting thee with pleasant days of yore,
sought thy classic precincts, mother dear,
/ wore thy benches smooth year after year,
My tuber ischti have achd and borne,
body weary and mind forlorn,
Wnile learning OF our human acnes ana lAs,
Which may be cured and which more surely Kills.
I've heard from reverend lips thy preceps aoW,
And scribbed notes cttrre1lte cdtdnto.
Lauehd o'er the dead in 4'parlors OF the sky"
Carved bone and muscle, nerve and srtery my feet.
"Crammed" for each quiz, aGDla' beat
AND cut my leplfafld corner of the second row,
rJUt 1t there just twenty years ago.
These are my sins, o motherl avow,
And ask thy pardon for my foibes now,
And may wish thee in the cenjoint name of
All thy children an Immortal fame.
Thy portals fair may knowledge ever crown,
May wisdom lend thee glory and renown;
Forth from thy gates may truth o'ernow in streams
The Sun OF Progress lighting with its beams;
And as the years roll by we seek in turns
That bourne from which no traveller returns"
And other sons upon our festal days,
Shall sweetly sing, o mater in thy praise;
Then may they speak, while wit and wisdom few,
or some who met here tteenty gears ago.
