Thinks what ne'er was, nor is, nor e're shall be." In giving to the friends of our college, this our ninth volume of the Colonial Echo, we do so with a full knowledge of the fact that there are flaws, yea, serious flaws in our work. It has been our aim, however, to present to to our friends a picture of college life as it is today, and, perchance, recall some fond memories to the alumnus who may read. Had it not been for the aid and coop- eration of our friends, we should have been unable to publish this volume. As you glance over its pages, we would beg of you to be kindly toward its faults, and praise its virtues. Cl)c 1911 Colonial CrJjo The Library HE iie\v library of William and !Mary College was made possible by the kindness of Andrew Carnegie and other friends of the col- lege, and today we have a beautiful and comfortable home for the twenty thousand volumes which constitute the basis of that truly broadening education which has made this school famous. Here also is found a large collection of valuable portraits, painted by eminent artists, of the famous friends, patrons, and alumni of William and Mary. Among these may be found the faces of great statesmen, soldiers, and scien- tists,—men whose powers have guided the destinies of a great nation, and influenced events of vital importance to the entire world. In the exhibition cases are numerous relics and antiquities. It was at William and Mary that the Greek letter fraternity originated in America, and the original charter and minutes of Phi Beta Kappa are still preserved in the library. Rare books, yellow with age and replete with historic associations, are displayed in the reading room. The commodious stack-room contains the working library, easily accessible and carefully managed. Nowhere can the student find a more congenial atmosphere for study than in the library. Here, amid these pleasant and stimulating surroundings, Vir- ginia is building the foundations of her future greatness, and making more secure her position as a great and progressive Commonwealth. : Co a ^oiinn: !3[ltimiuis ©poll U)t)osE face tfje llgfjt of tfjt morning pet Stinesi, tufjose bision is unbimcb, Uiljose bigor tg still unbroken bp tljc pears ; to one tolio but latelp birnt from tfje lobe of tiis Sllma itlater to Stanb bjitfi Ijis face to tfje front in ttje laattle for tljc enligfjtment of Jllen to ^ulion aibin Carroll ClianDler iHaSter of arts of 1892 tljis Volume IS proublp bebitateb.

And watched the wafted leaves from over head Fluttering a moment, fall at length to flake The breeze—blown ripples, as they came and fled. A moment these bowed at the giver's feet. Then lightly rolled, in whisperiug retreat. Bearing each frail bark toward the setting sun. And as 1 gazed, I felt the nameless Power Speaking, low-voiced, in lake and tree and flower. Like woodland melodies, where brooklets ruu. Strange was its cadence to my hardened ear. Dulled with the tumult of a grasping age Scarcely 'twas heard, yet wondrous sweet to hear. As lilts the lark, freed frinn eontining cage, So sang my soul, to feel the harness fall Which dragged it down, to cringe and creep and crawl As springs the silk-entomlied butterfly From its dark cell into the summer light, Seeking the sun which dissipates its night. So soared my fancy, free its wings to ply. 14 —: 'M-mi^M Cl)c 1911 Colonial €rljo s; Into file jmrrr light. \\iv taii-ci' day. Where Hope and Love shut out the sorditl strife For gain auil gold, which weakens with its elay, The social structure which our age calls life Into that realm where eyes may see, where ears .May hear the truths eternal of the years: Adowa the ])eaceful gardens, where, of old. Poet and minstrel, priest and j)rophet wrought In the cool aisles each new and perfect thought. And saw the hook of Life and Death unfold. Sweet music sounded there, which solter fell Than rose leaves on the grave of innocence. Voices that lighter lay than in the d<dl The violets, wliei-e each night the fairies dance. Methouglit the mellowed voices of the past Tried. <^uaff the living watei-s while they last. Tomorrow "s flood may bear thee on again, Whii-led in the eddies of its bootless strife; Forget what seems, and drink of what is life. The struggle in the surf, the sinking scream And then the Silence: thiukest thou, oil man. That this is Life .' "Tis but a lireak, a dream, The passing from the Dee]i unto the Deep. The Ri\er"s moan is but a broken cord That flutters loose upon the sounding board : Give to the greedy Stream its pound of tiesh. But leave tlie Gotl-breathed spii-it free to soar Above the hungry uunv, the ruthless roar, To di'ink the eternal music of the spheres."
