Page 183 - When daffodils begin to peer, With heigh ! the doxy over the dale, Why, then comes in the sweet o' the year; For the red blood reigns in the winter's pale. The white sheet bleaching on the hedge, With heigh ! the sweet birds, O, how they sing!
Page 69 - Lodge, indeed, as it seems to me, was one of the not uncommon persons who can always do best with a model before them. He euphuised with better taste than Lyly, but in imitation of him ; his tales in prose are more graceful than those of Greene, whom he copied ; it at least seems likely that he outMarlowed Marlowe in the rant of the Looking-Glass for London, and the stiffness of the Wounds of Civil War, and he chiefly polished Sidney in his sonnets and madrigals.
Page 107 - ... or flapjacks at its last banquet? What we do want to know is whether the members are growing, whether the lower class men are falling into line and becoming thoroughly assimilated, whether the literary ambitions are aroused, whether the bond is strengthened and the chapter is loyal to its fraternity or is drifting away and forgetting the common aims and interests. Let each chapter editor discuss the subjects concerning which he would like to hear the reports of other chapters, and which he believes...
Page 164 - ... morbi which finds its way into the river at the sewage outfall is destroyed, together with the organic impurity, after a certain length of flow. Considering the density of population over the whole country, it is to be regretted that so much time has been lost in bringing these Acts into operation; and it is to be hoped that there will be no further delay in strictly enforcing the provisions of the Rivers Pollution Act.
Page 104 - Material additions to the number of homes owned by chapters will be made in the next three years, and the aggregate value of landed Phi Delta Theta property will be more than doubled. It is no dream of the future, but only a careful calculation of probabilities to say that in fifteen years, more than half our chapters will own their homes, and Phi Delta Theta property will represent investments of from $150,000 to £200,000.
Page 158 - Fraternity is the result. Why not supply the Alumnus systematically and from the beginning with the nourishment which his nature craves instead of expecting him to subsist the best way he can, or what is more common, denying his interests as much as a thought? In so doing, Alumni lose identity and become useless and even burdensome, when from the standpoint of policy, if for no higher motive, they could be utilized to serve practical ends. The item of expense frequently prevents Chapters from supplying...
Page 106 - We would call its attention to the fact that the discovery of the letters 6 AX upon the ceiling of the innermost chamber of the largest pyramid in Egypt gives a strong case for the antiquity of this fraternity, and also adds a plausible theory as to the purpose of the pyramids. How insignificant then would appear the boasted age of Kappa Sigma!
Page 35 - ... for the same event is that it has pleased God in His infinite wisdom to take to Himself the soul of our dear brother, etc. The very words of such a statement are to modern science unmeaning. (In saying this, I trust to be understood as not now in the slightest degree attempting to...
Page 103 - It seems to us that a chapter house investment should be determined, first, by the amount which has been subscribed outright as gifts, whether by alumni or undergraduates, and second, by what has been determined to be the average size of the chapter and the average amount such members are able to pay for room, boarding and other expenses accessory to the maintenance of a chapter home.
Page 164 - In the very near future we must look to the worker for a solution of the great economic questions now being considered. I am not one to carelessly turn over my belongings for the uplift of the nation, but I am one who has come to a belief that the worker will rule, and the sooner we realize this the better it will be for our country and the world at large.
