Where e'er I roam, what e'er I see, my heart, Chautauqua, turns to thee . in greater an wisely fashioned, as we see. Lake Erie has been kiKjwn abroad,As restless, and by some abhorred,Has been niahgned, but stiU we hold,Hast striking virtues yet untold. At times when wintr\ winds prevail,And zephyrs change to raging gale,And her chilled waters meet the strand,In seeming anger gainst the land,— Tis Natures method to keep her crystal waters action has effect the same,To renovate the human frame. By having life we would infer,It was designed that man should stir;On other grounds we cannot seeHow man surpasses stone or tree. Chautauqua lands, as may be shown,Produce but little, left alone ;With industry they will disclose,And bud and blossom as the rose.

When this rule shall be holding swayAmong the hills of Chautauqua,Then will her children more advanceThan such as have the present chance. The ruling college for the massMust be within the infant nowhere should more wisdom comeThan in the college at the home. We thus digress, because we hopeChautauiiua may successful copeIn mental and in moral worthWith the most favored lands
