VOL. XXXIII NE W ROCHELLE, N . Y., MARCH, 1928 N o. 3\n\nA VALENTINE TO THE ALMA MATER Oh, bring me brushes fairy-fine, And bring me vellum smooth as cream, For I would fashion a valentine To fit the Lady of my dream! Oh, bring the thin bright beaten gold To make the singing letters shine, And bring vermilion bright and bold For a gallant glorious valentine! I'll twine the text with Arab arts, And all around my Lady's name I'll make a ring of red, r ed hearts, And on each heart a golden flame. And all about them and between, With leaves and tendrils many a score, I'll make a wreath of the ivy green, To bind them fast forevermore. Oh, I have loved my Lady long, With single faith, with simple truth, And I have sung to her many a song, For I b ega~ in the days of youth. And I will love my L ady still And sing to her with all my might, The whole way down the slope of the hill, Till I shall journey out of sight. W e deemed she dwelt in one dear place, Because 'twas there it chanced to be W e h ad the vision of her face When as our eyes were young to see. But she abides above, afar, Aloof from all the dust and din , Unsoiled as some white lovely star, And never walls could hold her in. When we h ave journeyed out of sight. Past the turn at the foot of the hill, Oh , many and many a new-made knight Shall serve our sweet liege Lady still. Out of th e gates of the unknown years I n brave procession I see them ride, With th e ivy p;arlands about their spears, Loving and loyal, side by side. Fresh from the accolade they start, Carolling loud their Lady's name; On every shield is a red, red heart, And on every heart a golden flame.\n\nTHE ALUM NAE BREAKFAST On February 13-anticipating th e good St. Valentine by a matter of hours only- the Associate Alumnae, over 600 strong, gathered in the Grand Ball Room of the Hotel Astor in honor of our Alma Mater's fifty-ninth birthday, and in honor, too, of th e golden anniversary of the Class of 1878. The t ables wer e d ecorat ed in r ed- red flowers, red lamps, red hea rts, which i.n themselves expresse~ the spirit of the gathering. Mrs . Maxwell Hall Elliott, as President of the Associate Alumnae, fittingly and charmingly as ever, presided over the fes tivities. In her inspiring word of greeting, she urged us to have always \"an impulse g reater than ourselves\" spurring us on. It was no doubt such a fine and eager impulse that impelled Mrs. Elliott to such great achievement in the proj ect for a new building. Touching on the n ew Hunter College of the now immediate future, our President confided that in addition to \" a little theater, bells, and an organ\", an entire floor of tIl e building which is designed with a Gothi c tower, will b e reserved for the exclusive use of the Alumnae. In closing, Mrs. Elliott expressed the belief that \"It is in proportion to the true g reatness of her children that Hunter College will be erected.\" W e wer e very h appy to h ave with us among other distinguished guest s (who included Professor A. Broderick Cohen, Mrs . John B. Golden, Dean Annie E . Hickinbottom , Mrs. James M. Kieran, Miss Ruth L ewinson, and Mrs. Michael J. Mulqueen ) Dr. Frederick B . Robinson , Presiden t of the College of th e City of New York. Dr. R obinson was h appy to bear greetings from our \" older broth er\" College-older by twenty-thrce yea rs. since it was founded in 1847 . With a gallantr y seldom met with in brothers City College, we were assured, is deeply interested in \"its charming, promising, viva cious younger sister.\" In addition, Dr. Robinson thought that it was superfluous to ll ave th e \"bells\" mentioned by Mrs. Elliott, since we h ad already so many \" bell es\" among us; but he wished our Alma Ma ter \" g ods p eed and good fortun e in all that she ma y undertake.\" Dr. James M. Kier an tll en made wh at M rs. Elliott r eferred to as \" hi s first publ ic appearance as Acting President of Hunter Coll e/!e.\" Dr. Kieran sketched briefl y a history of th e growth of the College, tou ching parti cularly on the stirring crisis in h er existence during the years from 1901 to ] 904 when I?he was\n\n�"]]]]]]]]],["collection",{"collectionId":"6"},["elementSetContainer",["elementSet",{"elementSetId":"1"},["name","Dublin Core"],["description","The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
