| coInes eacn year 10 the mecca OF learning
pilgrims seeking a fuller life. Brown
builds up an aristocracy, an aristocracy oi
intellect and attainment. An aristoeracy
whose proud boast is that true worth il
its only requirement, and character its
only goal. Let US as soon echo the sacred
name mother along the rafters of a gam
bling hell, as soon trample underfoot the
love OF a dearest friend, as. calling Brown
our Alma Mater, forget that we are repre-
sentatives of her spirit, forget the noble
precepts she has taught"

I'VE hope that no one supposes this
time for levity. 1t is an earnest. solemn
hour. We may not frittgr away in empty
jest its missionary opportunities. We
must advise these undergraduates fatherly
and kindly as though they were in the
Office. And first of all, the freshmen.
H. like certain polypi, they are OF similar
color as their food, these have not dined
La carte, but a la Nebuchadnezzar And
freshmen, remain green. Be true TO your
lofty ideals. Woe, woe TO the fellow who
hopes when he enters college TO build of
5 life Tai Mahal Temple, and con-
cludes when he graduates to put up a
shanty. But the sophomores are waiting
to be noticed. Your great characteristic
is obstreperousness. In vain has the
faculty parted its coat tails and, philoso-
phically speaking, posted itself upon you.
And here are the Juniors: we love them
and leave them our old essays. We hope
their future is not wholly in the past.
And the co-eds: how well in your re-
treat down College Hill have you needed
the Pauline injunction and set your
affections on things above Classmates,
four happy privilege freighted years are
gone. We are about TO separate but we
shall bear with us sweet and loyal memo
ries of this class that we love and deathless
gratitude to our Alma Mater.

THE CLASS HYMN.
Airv"Drinking Song"
Come, classmates as today we gather
To celebrate our parting rite,
Our song of Joy is fraught with sorrow,
As shadow mingles with the light,
For thinking of our noble comrades
And college days now almost er.
The sadness Of remembered pleasure
- Steals Ger our hearts as neer before.
And as we leave the good old college
To enter into the worlds rough strife,
Wen trust TO thee, dear Alma Mater,
For strength and guidance all through life;
And If the years should give Us glory,
or deeds of worth we eer may do,
Will bring zach one with song and gladness
And consecrate them all 70 YOU
And when we come again 10 enter
The classic shades OF dear old Brown,
Well think Of all thy noble lessons
lnstilled in us our lives to crown.
And ever mindful OF the precepts,
While gracious thoughts in Us survive,
Well hail, all hail! as joyful classmates
OF ever living Ninety-Fivo.
