Added For The Alumni Meeting, June 29,

So the gray Boatswain of 'Twenty-nine Piped to "The Boys" as they crossed the line; Round the cabin sat thirty guests, Babes of the nurse with a thousand breasts. There were the judges, grave and grand, Flanked by the priests on either hand; There was the lord of wealth untold, And the dear good fellow in broadcloth old. Thirty men, from twenty towns, Sires and grandsires with silvered crowns,— Thirty school-boys all in a row,— Bens and Georges and Bill and Joe. In thirty goblets the wine was poured, But threescore gathered around the board,— For lo! at the side of every chair A shadow hovered—we all were there!
