THE GROVE REAR OF COLLEGE POEM READ BY MISS MORA PURYEAR ON THE OCCASION OF THE PLANTING OF THE CLASS TREE, APRIL 14, 1905. Ere Father Time, with gleaming scythe,Has mowed the flowers that bloom to-day, And girlish forms and voices blitheAre smitten with Deaths grim decay, Well gather on the college green, Our hearts aglow with youthful glee, Our forms erect, our eyesight keen,To plant with love our college tree. And on the breast of Mother EarthWell place this sign of living growth, That she who gave the small seed birthMay nourish twig and great tree both. May its green branches grow and spread, A giant tree, majestic shade,While sweet song birds its leafy head, With nestling young will oft invade.

Like Titan of the days of yore, To guard these ancient classic walls, Or like some genius watching oerThe maid
