Glass Poem-1S93.
Not where the bee Of HybIa sips
NE ho t h Swset ,a Of the flowers
Where Amaryllfs pursed her lips,
Not in some old romantic isle
Such as Alchaeus heard among
The groves where sappho sang the while.
Fond hopes, the cherished thought is vain,
Adown the vista of the years
see where some Of us shall gain
Nothing but grief and woe and tears.
Though all the virtues of our crest
Be marked as well upon our hearts,
The world will grant US at the best
Nothing but unimportant parts
The world has an unloading ear,
THAT Aad bra es Is THE theme hem
Save In some sweet Utopian dream.
Yet what though fate shall beat us down,
Is 1t not somewhere we have heard,
In the bestowing Of a crown
Nations have wept and men have erredf
And wha. though faith obscure our ways
And let US die unwept, unknown,
Somewhere, at least, we gain more praise
Than Herod dying on his throne.
Fates OF the world how sadly strange
That here = CIRCUMSTANCES should change
The reading of a History.
That here the villainy of Fate
Should lift an idiot to fame;
| And here a simpleton be great
Whose only virtue Is his name.
| Begone, hard prophecies Of woe;
Iwould not fill the soul with grief
| just we part and turn to go
Just as the days are growing brief.
Mine shall not be the hal1d to fill
And let my own soul drink it up.
Lsmuel Akin Wells of Newington,
| Conn.,, then delivered the class Grafton, in
| which he spoke Of "some of the ideals of
university hfe" 1T is" he said, ~'sunfor-
tunate that many undergraduates do not
grasp the seriousness and responsibility Of
the time. But 1t Ia also that the forma-
tive influences here are inestimable, that
the incentives to broad living outweigh
the tendencies to forget the present, and
the privileges are such that no one can es
/ cape them.
There are problems opening before every
man as life begins to reveal itself, as the
garments are removed and the unadorned
truth appears in all it's reality-problemf
touching the deepest springs of existenc:
l which are appalling In their vastness anc
| which have shattered the noblest minds
| with their overwhelming force. Wha1
| shall be our aim. our purpose and our rec
| orda
The opportunity for broad range of &C
ton In this university Is almost ideal. 81
many-sided Is the life here that merit O.
endeavor in any field Is appreciated. II
scholarship, in literature, in athletics, il
social lines and in every department wortl
| Is valued and nothing can keep the dessrv
ing man from his reward. The ideal col

l these as possible.
But while there is such glorious op
portunity in university course to develo]
in many lines, there is danger of losin
identity"

And, calming every timid mind,
The deepest fears allay.

Thy hallewed truth will strengthen stu,
