 With an ending as abruptly. Was only in rainy days or hours, Or when from the streets the sudden showers Would burden 1t corruptly.

 With sympathetic sharing Turning again to the ancient map ,, The president of the college; 5outh from ths coilsss sss building stood. Because he was skill'd in knowledge. And tho college, too, Is building rsre. For those old times 1t had It's share or prominence in the community; Only one building, 1t might have been ln its location across from the Green, The same old building that now is seen lmpsrtinsnt in its impunity.
 XIV It stancs close by the Osborne hall; The stateliest building that ranks them all, The building that's just completed ln close proximity, old and new, ho newest and oldest are there fn view, And taking the newest thro' and thro' The alumni could there be feted.
 XVI. |. But that take It Is not the intent It Is not for that the stones were ront And blasted out of the quarry; But tho building is rather low to tho siRht But beautiful too in glowing light And convenient very, for those to recIte, Who recittng are not made sorry.
