“The Pity Lies”—
The pity lies
That I did not behold
Your lovely eyes
Ages before.
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

, 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.
