My quest had ended then, And evermore. You came so late, My heart had died for loving. I could not Avait. —ZELMA SAUVAIN, ’26. The Genii Could I but coin a line, a phrase, for you, Or clothe in mauve and gold an ancient thought, I could be gay if you but liked the thing And almost search alone as Ave together sought A cresent moon to hang our dreams upon; A windy hill with shafts of phosphorescent light; A reservoir, a yawning sepulchre; And fragrance of the sagebrush through a July night. T' But that is,past; the genii speaks no more And coils himself close to the bottle’s rim. The burning ghats of Benares fade away And all the tales the genii told are growing dim. And you sit waiting for a Avord from me, While I am tangled in a maze of living hours Which sap my strength and leave me somnolent, A languid creature lightly crushing poppy flowers. —ALICE ANN TUTHILL, ’25. Grey— Grey clouds across a slate-like sky, Sea mist a-float o’er dreary dunes, Wild A\Tinds above a winter beach, The sad song of loons. Grey cottage nestling in the pines, A grey cat sleeping by the fire, Your grey eyes through your pipe-smoke haze, My sorroAvs tire. PHILLIPPA SHERMAN, ’27. Ballad Did you ever step in a bonny boat j With a genial, whiskered crew : And set you out through the breakers’ boom ! To float awhile on the Blue? j There’s never a sight in the rolling world—■ As big as the world may be— That shrinks man’s heart and swells his soul Like an inky night at sea. In his wind-washed shack, in his sea-swept town, Though a man be gospel law; On a stinging night, while the breakers crash He is nothing but fear and awe. When he looks far out to east, to west, In a desperate hope for sod There’s nothing matters in sea or sky— But only his faith in God. So get a boat, you land-staked men, And a whiskered, genial crew, And seek the lesson of law and life That is taught by the inky Blue. —MERLE OLIVER, ’25. Mill-Stream Beside a stream I took up my abode, To watch the budding whisps of life pass by, To see, to hear, to ponder o’er the mode, To wish, to long for youthful pasts, and sigh. A little lilt of laughter—bit of song, Come softly o’er the water—burden free— The two are gone—upon the tide—among The flowers of youth, the bliss of reverie. v Life is like that—a bark upon the stream— A something out of something—a broken dream. —JAMES CASE, ’27. Defiance The splash and the splatter, The chill and the damp— w Well, what does it matter? 5 There’s the glow, of my lamp. —HELEN LOUISE SCHUPPEL, ’25. ' : - - % In Adoration You sang. And the North wind hushed its sighing, And the stars stood still to listen, And the storm clouds stopped their chariots, All the earth was silent, still. While the glory of your singing, Rose in pearl-engirdled triumph To the sapphire gates of Heaven. And the Cherubs stopped their playing As they gazed in wide-eyed wonder, While Ariel, soul of music Dropped his shining head, and softly Touched with rose-tipped hands his lyre Strove to hold that liquid ecstaey; While the souls in outer darkness Caught the far. faint, glow of Heaven, As God’s angels were drawn earthward, Drunk with rapture as You sang it "S JULIETTE CLAIRE GIBSON.

X ame___ Address.. , All Culture Comparative, Says Syud Hossain Development of World Vision Declared Essential “Culture, any culture, is compar ative only,” said Syud Hossain, In dian lecturer and editor, discuss ing the relative merits 6f Ameri can, European and Oriental cultures, in an interview granted yesterday evening. “The idea of your sitting in your 'backyard in America, and I sitting in my backyard in India, each believing himself to be the salt of the earth to the exclusion of the other is absurd.” But this, ac cording to Mr. Hossain, seems to be the attitude of the masses in all countries at the present time. The problem which presents it self is to get these masses in a proper frame of mind to receive a world culture, a culture which knows no national boundaries. Mr. Hossain is a thoroughgoing cosmo politanist, and possessing the cour age of his convictions, does not ad imit that such a culture is impos j sible. “Get the people to thinking; en courage a wider perspective on the part of all, through education in the primary and secondary schools, and especially in the colleges, and through the right influence of the press. Once the cultural back grounds of the peoples within the nations are broadened, the ideal be comes close to being a reality. In changing the educational sys tem, there must be a distinct rear rangement of methods. History in particular should be given differ ent interpretation, approached from a wider point of view, and the stu dent made to realize the greatness of the scope which the record of human events endeavors to cover. Syud Hossain is one of the most interesting and forceful speakers to appear on the campus this year. His youth, the pleasantness of his speech, the grace of his gestures, and above all his deep belief in the cause for which he spoke, capti vates one from the very beginning. He seems as he speaks the literal incarnation of the movement which is now gaining strength every where, the movement toward a world vision opposed to a provin cial vision. fCLASSIFIED ADS T o-o LOST—A man’s gold ring in out door gym or near by.
