One of the largest audiences of the season gathered Tuesday evening to hear Prof. Wilcox's lecture. The lecture treated of Greece, and was interesting throughout. The lecturer's voice was very weak, and nothing could be understood back of the middle aisle. The professor described the journey, the different points touched in his voyage, the manners of the Greeks, the struggle for liberty, the Grecian king and queen, the city of Athens and the various ruins in and about Athens. The lecture was illustrated by the magic lantern.
No. 31.
My Ideal.
I'd find a stream, where the water's gleam
Had caught, with trembling hold.
The boughs of beech which bending reach To the rippling current cold,
I'd deftly rear a temple near,
Of coolest marble white.
If this life were for nothing but pleasure
And summer days never would end,
I know what I'd do with my leisure
And how my existence I'd spend.
While in beauty-lines, wild-ivy twines
each twig with green and gold.
With roof of glass o'er which would pass
A starry train at night.
While, through the day, dark leaves would sway
I'd build bright nooks for boasts of books.
By noet, priest and sage.
With mingled spots of light.
Whose master hands in many lands
Had pictured on the page.
by poet, priest and sage.
Whose master hands in many lands
Had pictured on the page
In that weird place, I drive to trace
the soul's eternal past.
Of parchment fair or vellum rare
The thoughts of every age.
Had pictured on the page
Of parchment 'fair or vellum rare
The thoughts of every age.
And like a scroll its life unroll
Through changes strange and vast,
cursus endless years, with hopes or fears,
Had met my views at last.
The truth I'd read in every creed;
Each veil should lift for me.
I'd grasp the store of magic lore
In Gattie or Chaldee ;
And there content, toward wisdom bent,
An anchorite I'd be.
But no! I'm sure I'd never endure
To pass the years alone—
Oer land and tide, the fairest bride.
That most dreams have known.
That poet-dreams nave known
So my cars should be filled with the singing.
Fd seek—and then, again, Fd greet my glen.
And fredless home of stones.
Of a sweet loving voice divine,
While from dark musty tenes I was bringing
The mystical secrets of Time. C. M. H.

They have requested Prof. Sayre to draw upon them for whatever he wishes, and promise however rare the specimen may be they will forward it as soon as possible. This request, coming from a house bearing such unbounded facilities, is a cause of congratulation to Prof. Sayre, and the department is lucky in having such friends and allies.
