88.
The editors of the January number of the Shield, the organ of the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity, are to be congratulated because of their successful efforts in improving the appearance and general tone of the Shield. The editorial department is well filled with bright and pertinent discussions of fraternity objects. One subject especially is worthy of attention, that of literary exercises in fraternity meetings. The writer of the article does not advocate converting the various chapters into literary societies, but simply the education of the members to be intelligent fraternity men, so that every member will know, at least, the A B C of his fraternity and thereby make themselves well informed upon fraternity topics whenever competition with a chapter of a rival fraternity is necessary. The exercises he advocates, should consist of discussions of the various chapters, constitution, history and distinguished members of the fraternity; discussions upon the system of government of other fraternities in connection with their own. Also, to introduce the reading of articles in the magazines of the leading rivals. Take it all in all the fraternity is to be congratulated upon the fine editorial and mechanical appearance of the Shield, the subject matter of which tends to strengthen them in the noble purpose of humanity.—Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.
Decennial Ode to the Class of .76'
By E. B. TUCKER, (Classis Poeta.)
Ten circling years from out the hand of time
Have now well nigh in swift succession rolled,
Since on that morn of June, in seventy-six,
We stood on life's fair threshold to go
forth;
Dare we reveal the hopes that thronged our breasts
Bidding to all the past a fond farewell,
And, anxious, tried to lift the future's vail.
that day, when Alma Mater sent us forth
Alumni, fledglings, each his path to hew
With trusty blade tempered at wisdom's
flame?
Ten years of changing light and shade, of joy.
Ot sorrow, hopes and plans fulfilled or failed ;
Ten years of earnest struggle up life's hill.
With tooth and nail to scale its rugged height.
'Tis pleasant to look back—and yet 'ts
sad,
O, that the course of time were backward turned,
So dear from memories of the sacred past,
As students in old times. It cannot be
A sort of bitter sweet—to those old boys When, book in hand, we climbed through sun and storm
As students in old times. It cannot be.
Alas, those halucen dawns will never return.
And for one day we stood within those halls,
the nit of knowledge, filled with youthful zeal.
Such days, when, teeming with youth's turbulence,
We left our marks from roof to basement floor.*
A band unbroken we have been preserved, Though some who taught us have death's river passed,
Classmates, would we might all strike hands again,
Within those walls that sheltered us of vore.
On Alma Mater's next commencement day,
And thus, with joy, our tenth year celebrate.
*During commencement exercises of '73 a skeleton was lowered through the unfinished ceiling of the chapel, suspended from the roof. Immediate search was made for the perpetrators, but they were supposed to have escaped from the roof by a ventilating shaft to the basement. The next day a green ribbon was found on the basement floor near the foot of one of the shafts. Green was the class color of '76 that year.
