THE ME 'SIP MIAN
A SUHWER IDYL.
Quiverofiheat oor the meadow's 'breast,
Glimmer of gold whore the reapers 'rest,
The drooping leaves hang breathlessly;
Shifting of clouds in the azure blue,
Golden light where the sun shines through,
The placid stream flows noiselessly.
Stir of the winds in the quickened leaves
Ripple of gold in the un-bound sheaves,
The silver stream moves restlessly,;
Dash of rain in the reaper's ej'es,
Lo, with the rain bow in the skies,
Our thoughts molt into eternity.

Twenty-Five Years 07 d-
When one gets to "be twenty-five years
old he feels that lie has accomplished
something. He is safely through measels
.and hooping cough and has cut his wis
dom teeth. The big world isn't any too
bigfor him, but at does not cramp him
as at did when he was a little fellow in
dresses. He is a "grown tip."
iSo when a society celebrates its 'quarter-centennial
anniversary it feels the
weight of years and dignity, nothing wall
suit hut the best.
The Palladians, therefor, have been
making preperations for the last six
months for their celebration on 'October
16. They wish that this anniversary o
the beginning of student organizations
in the University should be fittingly com
memorated, and all students are invited
to take part in this students' -celebration.
The anniversary address will be 'de
livered by our honored ex-chancellor, IE
B. Fairfield, second chancellor of iihe
'University, a man of high attainments
and wide experience, and always spoken
of by students who knew him, with affec
tion. He has a high reputation as a
speaker.
This address will bo -delivered in the
Lansing theatre and if all mniversity
people are not present it will be because
there is not room for them.
The OPalladians will hold a reception
in their hall on Friday afternoon. A
general invitation will be expended to .all
students and the public in general to
attend.
-Other events will fill out the day (and
make the occasion enrjqyable to all. When
you hear "John Jones" late Friday might
you will know that the Palladiau celebra
tion is over and another quarter century
begun. Wait for it.
