WE call them heroes, though we well recall And we are lost in sorrow for the things That they were men like us, the common run That they all hoped would be and are not yet. Of good and bad, of weak and bra.ve, It seems to us, as if each pettiness, Who calmly met, each day, whatever came, Each carnal act, each act of worldliness And had no vaunting pride or confidence. W ere throwing vileness on their memory, They often found their studies irksome, hard ; And we regret that we are matter-of-fact They had their petty moments and their great; As we, the living, take the heritage They d allied in the pressure of rich hours, For g ranted. Complained at trivial campus incidents. As have the college boys in every age. IV And yet their names stand out, imperishable And yet, we know that we are just as good Upon these chapel walls, and as we pass . As they, that we have in us too the life The tablet by, however fleetingly, They thus ennobled, and we know as well We sense at once a fragrance and a pain. That some things have been clarified by them; We know that each new day should wiser be. II And we lament the needless sacrifice The hero is himself when ignorant Which ages past in ignorance did yield. That what he does is really great, sublime, We see the past strewn with bones of men When, living naturally, he meets Who died because they did not know enough; The h'our of crisis, knows that, here and now, Who were confined by lack of transportation ; Awaits the action which is his to do. Who were hedged in by various separatisms. Who stands a man morally dependable They had too little breadth and h'eight in When thoug hts that shine must pass into the thoughts deed. By w hich they tried to apprehend the world. It is from out the valid genuineness They feared the universe as filled with evil Of average men that we shall come to know spirits, Whether our age is spiritually great, And, knowing all too little, feared each other. Or w hether it has rotted into smallness. And so, nobly confronting present fears, So as we gaze upon this roll of names, Blazed brilliantly in self-loss needlessly. We see the college as it is, common, And we will do that, too, for we are still Yet shining with the lustre of the spirit. Hedged all about with complexes and fears. And we shall know that w hen th' horizon lies And lose our lives for foolish, ignorant thoughts, All low and shadowless of any height, But we are moving onward and the day is near There is in college hearts, the spark, th'e fire, When college men should venture all they have Which, in some hour will blaze in holy fl ame. To bring more light upon the ways of men, When war will be assailed as our great foe, III The foe of all we love and ought to be, Yet, in this revelation of ourselves The foe that shadows every mother's smile, Wh.ich this bronze tablet on our walls unrolls, The foe that menaces a sweetheart's love, W e find a shame, a blush upon the cheek, The foe that strikes in hate at brotherhood For being too content with common things, The foe that lies across the paths of men. We see again the horror and the blood, When war strewed fields with shattered, bleed- v ing forms ; So, as I look upon this tablet, dark We see the chaos of a world's confusion; With blood of college men destroyed by war, When human souls were broken and despised, I see each letter shining from the. names When all the- common virtues by w hich men With fire that never, never will be dimmed, Become significant, were thus defiled, Th'e fire of their resolves, and it flames up When death laughed at us in derision In our lives too, and we are all alight And mocked at all our faith and hope and love. With the greatness that lies in our commonness, We are bereft of every fond illusion, With the visions that rise o'er our doubtings, For we are cursed by th'oughts of holy dreams With the purpose that answers our despair, Which their eyes caught as if the steeds of God For the future, however enlightened and w ise, Rode high above the carnage of their war, Will live by the spirit which these names reveal, And all they dreamed, and all for which they The spirit which, please God, will lift us, too! died, -Irving M aurer 1935.
