scrip ready to resume our pilgrimage.
Dismiss US with your blessing as we

replace us, but none who enter and
leave will remember you more tenderly
than we. Undergraduates, who remain
here to break the bread of knowledge

and in fears One bya common purpose
to throw no discredit on our Alma Ma

words at parting, but for US no sadness
no parting words. We 60 forth, hand In
