Great faculty, If you should feel inclined
To hear Commissions of an idle mind
And give him what he wants and nothing more,
Time wasted on this cong he'll not deplofe;
Refuse not his request with deep disduin,
AS pillows sweep DER the azure main;
And dash some ship upon the rocky shore,
And then In mad confusion rage the more.
How this request to write he does not know
What thoughts and words will stand beet chow,
Even II they were coined in perfect rhyme,
With idea in each accented line,
Chapel ~orations he docs not spurn,
But he would DO excused from more, this term.

y. not as it should be. The chapel shou
u have been filed on last Saturday NOR
'r ing by interested friends and listener
not SO much perhaps. on account of Il
eloquence and logic of the sophomor
and juniors, but on account of the !
terest such gatherings would tend
give these occasions and the encoural
ment the students would receive alol
