i am present ut one OF those occasions
in Athens when the mon of later days
saw before them the warriors who

Once when her wounds were still raw
the university. bereft of so many noble
sons. could not bear TO think OF their
strong young bodies stiff on tho bloody
slopes of Malvern Hill. or Cemetery
Ridge. or under the gloomy pines of
Five Forks. But now after fifty years
with their healing touch have passed
over those friGhtful gashes. the still
quick regret of alma mater for their
dear heads touched by the unmelting
frost of death. is mingled with equal
pride that they were hers.
The tie that binds us together as
alumni Is a precious one. uniting us to
such glorious young spirits as David
