We gather here today
With reYefent thoughts to lay
This corner stone.
Not Tor he pride of man
Bounded by life's brief span,
Not Tor ourselves the plan;
For truth alone.
Here may the searching mind
In Truth foundations find
That abide.
Here may the generous heIrt
BY Truth be set apaT',
It's blessings TO impart
To the world wide
Lord of eternal truth,
Guide of the paths of youth,
Wisdom and might!
Bless Thou these rising walls;
Dwell in tie finished halls;
Hear Thou each soul that calls
On thee for light.

adorned by four gables, which, with
