The Salem Cadet Band, which has be-
come so popular at Bowdoin. furnished
music.
Mr.. Fabyan's Grafton dealt with labor
organizations, their origin and use. Mr..
PeabodY's poem was beautiful, imagine
ative production.
| Mr.. Peabody announced the theme of
his poem as follows:
| When he, our country's laureate uncrowned.
| He. whose great name has sanctfied this
| ground,
Raised in yon church his noble hymn to age,
He honored youth upon the self-same page,
| And from his wisdom offered for guide
/ The old, old verse that Britomartis spied
t Upon the enchanters door, We, too. may heed
/ The poets sage advice; We too may read
/ Into our souls this motto grand and old,
\ BE bold, be bold, and everywhere be bold,
/ Be not too bold. yet betterthe excess
Than the defect. better the more than less"
The poem then went on to apply this
motto to the various walks of life, law,
medicine, divinity, journalism, business,
ETC., into which the members of the
class were about to enter. In closing, it
appealed to teachers to defend our COM
mon schools against their enemies:
Yours is soldiers duty to defend
| Our foremost bulWark from insidious foes
/ Who mine beneath its lofty towers, and those
| More yalent who are storming at the gate
With weapons forged Of ignorance and hate.
The precious roll Of learning to unfold.
Shall dare to say you nay. then shun.
| The fate of those whoraise q traitors hand
| Against the flag which floats above our land,
The flag that guards each school-house, and in
| Is guarded by the loyal hearts who learn
| If teacher, thou dost boldly teach,) of thee,
| How best they may preserve their liberty
! In the afternoon, the Senior class,
headed by the band, marched to the
