Greek letter men of Philadelphia . DELTA PHI HOUSE AT YALE Within the breai.: which makes of all mankind A brotherhood. As well attempt to find A pearl or diamond in the serpents nest. As rare content or perfect peace and rest Where naught but sordid avarice abides And greed has scorched the soul it all but hides. Let that fair word, Fraternity, sink deep Into your hearts and lives, for round it sweep. At ever varying range, half of the light And sunshine of this life. It brings no blight, But bloom instead. It proves a healing balm To minds diseased. It finds a haven calm For storm-tossed souls which else might have been lost. It tells the truth whatever proves the cost. Fraternity—thou childof college halls,Although not circumscribed by any walls—To thee we pledge the cup and faith joys you add, in measure more than to the sorrows, bid us kiss the rod,Seeing m them, fraternity with God. 39.
