Everyone who reads this volume will know what it means We have given it all of the time and energy that school work would allow. We have enjoyed doing the work that it represents but we shall enjoy still more the words of commendation, if any that may come to our ears concerning our efforts. It is with pride that we present this book to its readers, for we have done our best. Further- more, everything on these pages was produced by students of the University or some who have formerly been connected with the insti tution. No outside aid was called for as we desired to make the book purely representative of our school; so we ask you to be lenient in your criticisms of the discrepancies which we know to exist in our work. We are glad to take this opportunity to thank most sincerely those of our old friends who have had the kindness to assist us — W. Moore, "Energy" Mason, Netta B. Lazzelle, W. W. Trent and Van McCreery. We are grateful also to those members of the faculty who of fered us their valuable advice :—John Harrington Cox, our censor Robert Allen Armstrong, Charles Henry Patterson and William Jackson Leonard. ^

The campus smiles with beauty in the evening's mellow glow, The green trees, old and mighty, whisper gently of sweet days, The days of their own youth, bright days of long ago. The maple in the Circle speaks; the other trees give heed To this sage monarch, while he tells the story dear to all, Of the girls of ancient Woodburn, how they spent the happy hours, When, in the eventide, the shades began to fall. "Where now, by Martin Hall, there stands a weather-stained platform, Its blackened boards supported by four walls of moss-grown stone, The old well found great favor in the days 'before the war,' Not then, as it is now, unprized, unloved, unknown. Each summer night, before the sun had set behind the hills, Out came the girls of Woodburn with white pitchers in their hands, Sat down a while beside the well, sat down upon the stile And viewed the winding river on its way to southern sands. And before they filled their pitchers with pure water from the well, The clear, cold water known and praised by people far and near, They sang with voices soft and low the quaint old songs they loved, Responded with glad voices to the evening's glowing cheer. To them the well had only sweet associations; they AYere loth to leave it when the dusk had warned them of the night. They filled their pitchers slowly, went reluctantly away When already, in old Woodburn, the candles were alight." "Who cares about the old well now?" The maple, asking sighs; The other trees make no reply but murmuring shake their leaves, Yet before their murmuring ceases, the Maple bids them look Toward the old neglected well, for there an answer he receives. Gazing at the ugly platform, with sorrowing, tear-dimmed eyes, Her thoughts upon the distant past, a white-haired woman stands; turns She can not bear the mournful change ; She sadly away And views the winding river on its way to southern sands. 311 I — ; — SIMEON, SPARE THAT THEME!
