Page 111 - Even the careless heart was moved, And the doubting gave assent, With a gesture reverent, To the Master well-beloved. As thin mists are glorified By the light they cannot hide, All who gazed upon him saw, Through its veil of tender awe, How his face was still uplit By the old sweet look of it. Hopeful, trustful, full of cheer, And the love that casts out fear. Who the secret may declare Of that brief, unuttered prayer ? Did the shade before him come Of th...
Page 333 - Together find in Viverols. Love, we may wander far or near, The sun shines bright o'er Viverols; Green is the grass, the skies are clear, No cloud obstructs our pathway, dear; Where love is, there is Viverols — There is no other Viverols!
Page 73 - God said, I am tired of kings, I suffer them no more; Up to my ear the morning brings The outrage of the poor. Think ye I made this ball A field of havoc and war, Where tyrants great and tyrants small Might harry the weak and poor?
Page 487 - Once the great struggle of labor was to supply the necessities of life; now but a small portion of our people are so engaged. Food, clothing, and shelter are common in our country to every provident person, excepting, of course, in occasional accidental cases.

Page 692 - State,'' to quote the words of President White, '' she has housed in vile barracks." The student has no need for luxury. Plain living has ever gone with high thinking. But grace and fitness have an educative power too often forgotten in this utilitarian age. These long corridors with their stately arches, these circles of waving palms, will have their part in the students' training as surely as the chemical laboratory or the seminary-room.
Page 700 - The only government that I recognize — and it matters not how few are at the head of it, or how small its army — is that power that establishes justice in the land, never that which establishes injustice.
Page 358 - To prohibit sectarian instruction, but to have taught in the University the immortality of the soul, the existence of an all-wise and benevolent Creator, and that obedience to His laws is the highest duty of man.
Page 190 - The Disseminator of Useful Knowledge, Containing Hints to the Youth of the United States from the School of Industry.
Page 488 - ... the knowledge that the threads of our work will be taken up by you and followed along the line we have traced. Mr. President and Faculty, upon you largely depends the success of this as an educational institution. Ample endowment may have been provided, intelligent management may secure large income, students may present themselves in numbers, but in the end, the Faculty makes or mars the University.
Page 73 - ... crags With Freedom's image and name. Up ! and the dusky race That sat in darkness long, — Be swift their feet as antelopes, And as behemoth strong. Come, East and West and North, By races, as snow-flakes, And carry my purpose forth, Which neither halts nor shakes. My will fulfilled shall be, For, in daylight or in dark, My thunderbolt has eyes to see His way home to the mark VOLUNTARIES.
