The BELOIT ALUMNUS

The Archway.

On the corner of College and Emerson Streets, Where squirrels once nibbled their acorn-meats, Where Blaisdell and "Zeus" held chat of the weather Or on chores academic conferred together , They've builded a hall for the Social Sciences, Viewed one at a time or in groups and alliances.

Its chairs, hygiwic, are screwed to the floor _- Book-cases, fir e-places, are numbered galore,· The window s are fixed from the left to give light, And w ith fans and w ith flues the air is kept right,· Each " prot' has an office to w hich to rept1ir, And mny even brew tea if for such he should care.

But far the best thing in this building-it's true I Is the fa ct that it's made w ith a hole right through- A tube w hwce emerges a glow like rare knowledge, When the sunshine reflects from the bricks of North College: And we sense that the new doth the ancient enfold, And w hat's freshly minted is still the Old Gold.
