College Memories, 1864-65 By Daniel Strange '67

(Editor's Note—This poem was addressed to Joseph Warren Gunnison w'66 several years pre­ vious to his death on February 10. Mr. Strange, the oldest living alumnus, recalls in his poem many scenes and activities which you may relive.)

I've wandered round the college grounds, I've sat beneath the tree That stood upon the river bank and shaded you and me. And here we are to meet again, how pleasant 'tis, you know, To meet again on these old college grounds of seventy years ago. Seventy years ago, dear Joe, seventy years ago, To meet on these old college grounds of seventy years ago. The river's running just as still, the trees along its side Are larger than they used to be; the stream is not so wide; The old log bridge is swept away, where oft we used to go To take a stride at eventide, some seventy years ago.

'Tis hard to see that it can be full seventy years ago. The stanza, which follows, appears on the plaque attached to the stone in the When half the weary way was past we rested by the stone, picture above. Wherein whose cleft a cherry pit had taken root and grown; "When half the toilsome way was The cleft was not so very wide, but half an inch or so, passed, we rested by the stone The little tree scarce touched its side some seventy years ago.
