Air: In Praise Of Alma Mater
TO Mother Colby now we bring
Tho boarded gold of all the ages,
store of Surncred treasures bright
INSPIRED thought of deafness saSes.
Athena cast her crown aside,
The fame she had in former pride
Shall now to Alma Mater rise,
Hail! Modern Goddess of the Wise
Beneath prophetic MILLIONS shade,
Where issues forth the fount OF learning
we lay our trophies at thy feet,
Our hearts with alteration burning.
And ever shall we seek 10 be
The loyal followers Of thee,
While eVermOre we pledge 10 raise
our hymns in Alma Matters praise
f. ID. Sawyer, president of the class,
then presented the college $50 volumes
of standard modern authors, as the
gift of the class, saying that of all the
college customs which have been hand
ed down there is none which is more
deserving of being retained than that
of making a present of some suitable
gift 10 the college. While the books in
one way We're presented as matter OF
custom yet it was wholly for the sake
of custom but more because of the
love of the members OF the class for the
college.
The books were accepted for the
trustees by Hon. j. H. Brummond. He
commended the good will of the class
ana hoped that the same love which in
spired the giving of the back would
always be retained for tho collCye by
the members of the class.
The last strains Of the closing selcc-
ton by the band were drowned in the
class yell given by the members of the
class on the platform.
