Man with men and face to face.
His gift, the gift OF humour, mirth and Joy.
Made his life perennial spring,
The spirit which was his as child, as boy,
fingered when his youth took wing.
He chose.the sunny path, In good and Ill,
Striving other paths to bless,
He would not let the snow his gladness chill,
Winter make his laughter less.
His gifts, the gifts OF faith, of hope of love,
Christ and God were ever near
His soul had seen the visions fair above,
Perfect love had cast out fear.
His mind had wrestled with the problems
deep,
Whence and why Of life and death,
Yet like a little child he fell on sleep,
Trusting still with latest breath.
q Alma Mater keep before the youth,
Who shall seek this school OF laws,
The kindly thought OF one who loved the
truth,
Friend Of every holy causel :,
| Here, where he brought the fruitage CLEANED
In life,
Sharing mind and strength and fame
1 With those he trained for service, trained
for strife,
Breathe and gently breathe his name.
