But the threshold this. Peruse, scan, and perhaps read, these pages. Herein is a representation of our school life. If it pleases you we are glad; if not, we make no apology, for it is ours. We have lived it; we have enjoyed it; and we hope, in these pages, to have recorded as a memorial what has gone to make up one of the happiest chapters of our lives. We are glad to present, thus, to the public the tenth volume of our book, the Aurora. T o Our President, Who is at once a sincere friend, a faithful teacher, and an equitable administrator, we, the Aurora Staff, respectfully dedicate this, the decennial number of the Aurora. Hire Stairs Oh climbing stairs! how well you bring to mind Past hopes and aspirations truly borne Upon thy creaking bosom, till the morn When bursting forth triumphantly, we find That some to heights have gloriously attained; While others lingering, half afraid to trust The wings of fortune, now to hopeless dust Have crumbled, failing thus to be sustained. — S. T. L. CTKe CKapel Bright memories of the daily chapel hour These rows of empty benches call to mind The messages with more than mortal power, Deep truths, high aims, reproofs both firm and kind; The programs ever to my heart shall bind This scene; the readings echo thru my days; The flowers of music ’round all these entwined Lend graceful beauty to the prayer and praise. 0 chapel, thou art dear to me always! -H. C i Corner of Library) Mark well I thy face, Thy upright stand a corner graced. Thou wast a cure for censored themes’ And red-inked compositions’ chafe. I revelled in the art sublime Of thy neighbor volumes; I dreamed anon Their tale of ancient lore In print, with profane cover bound. But these were less, my friend than thou, The central stone of knowledge, ’round Which clustered gems of beauty. 0 how Well I remember thee, dear lexicon. — C. S. M. T h ir te e n "I !

There f Too the voice of song and prayer Is heard. There oftimes, to advise, 1 Our gentle Matron calleth her S' I Children. Thou hast, in days gone by, A shelter been for those who from it Dan Cupid’s bow, hath felt the dart. I Forget thee, Dormitory Parlor? N ever! -M. R. W. N T t r N .N T V T H R F F r v i/K l ecu. A t Olivet Fair the Campus, glory-freighted, Olivet’s majestic ground, Soil to wisdom consecrated, With a stately beauty crowned. Life’s ascending sun upon us Has a golden largess flung And we hear a song excelling That which vocal Memnon sung. It is set to music swelling Clear and sweet from coming years; To our hearts those strains are telling Of the triumphs and the cheers. Happily that Gallic author Has a winsome truth revealed When she wrote of architecture, Called it “ melody congealed.” Hope, a wonderful musician, Forms our future one fair frieze; For us shines that splendid vision, Hearing Hope’s rich harmonies. — E.
