"Men call me good, and vulgar fame,
Above the stars exalts my name;
Through my great strength did Caesar rise

The following description of Psyche.
spoken by the spirit of Psychology, is
worth remembering:
"Psyche, a maiden loved by Cupid,
Was adorned with beauty rare.
Youngest of three noble sisters
In her charms divinely fair,
Many gathered, saw her praised her.
Her q second Venus named;
Builded altars, honored, worshipped,
And the Queen Of Love DETAINED.
Germania's description of tho lab ,ra-
tory Is as follows, and it would be hard
to put better description in the re-.

The first class sat In the Laboratory.
The only room at command lust then
never saw such place before,
ana hope never may again!
When we meekly asked Chemistra

Physicia reels off the following verses
which would do justice to Gilbert &
Sullivan
But perpetual motion is never known
Even in the mind of man,
For natural laztness soon prevails,

Literature, among many other, recites
the following lines:
"Came q morning in the Spring time,
In the lovely month Of May,
When the Posts betook themselves

And they grouped themselves together
And they wore their sweetest look,
For the time had come at last
When they would have their "pictures

And we stuck to our point like sealing
wax sticks;
But mam'selle she smiled,
And the lessons she piled
On the heads of the Posts
Till they looked like eight costs,
And wished they had died
Ere strike they had tried.
Chemistras statement of her great DOW

Yet all things perfect admire
Even of mOdesty ever tire,
And like the alchemists OF old
Yet may change thy brass to gold.
Now the most interesting part of it
is that these original verses were all
written by the young ladies of the class,
mem0rized and recited within ten days.
There was present . select audience CON-
sisting Of the Senior class of 80 as the
special guest Of the past graduates and
the families of tho graduates and few
invited friends. After the exercises and
congratulations had been extended to
the President, DR.. Clewell, Miss Baker
and the Posts, charming collation. was
served. Altogether it was one of the
most finished and unique performances
that the writer has ever had the good
fortune to witness, and he has served
out his sentence ct graduating exercises.
