FAIR Harvard! thy sons to thy jubilee throng,
And with blessings surrender thee o'er,

By these festival rites, from the Age that is past,
To the Age that is waiting before.

Farewell! be thy destinies onward and bright!
To thy children the lesson still give,

With freedom to think, with patience to bear,
And for right ever bravely to live.

Samuel Gilman.

ENFLAMED with the study of learning and the admiration of virtue; stirred up with high hopes of living to be brave men and worthy patriots, dear to God, and famous to all ages.

Milton.

"To be thrown overboard is the best way of learning how to swim, and being pitched out into life the best way of learning how to live."

College Comment.

He who has never seen himself surrounded on all sides by the sea can never possess an idea of the world and of his own relation to it.

Goethe.

I TOOK you

how could I otherwise?

For a world to me, and more;

For all, love greatens and glorifies
Till God's a-glow, to the loving eyes
In what was mere earth before.

THINK when our one soul understands

The great Word which makes all things new, When earth breaks up and heaven expands,

How will the change strike me and you

In the house not made with hands?

J. J. ROUSSEAU, 1712.

Robert Browning.

NOTHING makes the world seem so spacious as to have friends at a distance; they make the latitude and longitude.

Thoreau.

WITH God- - go over the sea,

Without Him, not over the threshoid.

Russian Proverb.

HAD you in your mind

Such stories as silent thought can bring, you would find

A tale in everything.

Wordsworth.

LEISURE has a value of its own. It is not a mere handmaid of labor; it is something we should know how to cultivate, to use, and to enjoy. . . . It is in his pleasures that a man really lives; it is from his leisure that he constructs the true fabric of self. "For the time that a man may call his own," Lamb writes to Wordsworth, "that is his life."

Agnes Repplier.

Be able to be alone.

June 30.

Sir Thomas Brown.

OH! which were best, to roam or rest?
The land's lap or the water's breast?

LOVE, now an universal birth,

Robert Browning.

From heart to heart is stealing,

From earth to man, from man to earth,
— It is the hour of feeling.

One moment now may give us more

Than fifty years of reason:

Our minds shall drink at every pore

The spirit of the season.

Wordsworth.
