Undergraduate Literary Exercises in Sanders Theatre.

And great achievements on its stream were borne;

Men who in stirring times the State have led

And names by poets, thinkers, workers worn,

All these were ours and our bright list adorn.

Life's river may not bear that name away;

Joyous and loving as sunshine which leaps

About the stream and gilds its dancing spray,

This one the true embodiment doth seem

Of youth eternal, and while the fountain's play

Doth last, his ever kindly wit shall gleam

Within its pools, the while his laughing voice

Doth make the murm'ring waters to rejoice.

No need to tell his name for you all know it, -

Our Doctor, Autocrat, the Poet.
