the  Univer

and 
President  McNair  of  the  Michigan  Col

which  is  being  sent  to  the  high  schools 
of  the  state  emphasizing  to  the  grad

vice  by  continuing  their  education  at 
some  state  college,  this  coming  year. 

We  hail  t h is  message  w i th  delight, 
not  only  because  of  its  timeliness  and 
fitness  but  because  it  is  evidence 
that 
these  state  colleges  can  work  together.

a  much  greater  co-operation  between

THE  HILLS. 

(This  poem  won  second  place  in  the 
Enomian-Holcad  contest.) 

Born  of  t he  ice,  t he  children  of  the 

ancient  glacial  creep; 

Lashed  by  the  maddened  waters  of  the 

primal  river's  sweep; 

F u r r o w ed  by  the  h a n ds  of  time,  which 

left  their  r u t t ed 

t r a c k; 

The  hills  are  waiting,  w a i t i ng  and  I'm 

longing  to  go  back. 

Panoply  of  shifting  scenes,  bedecked 

with  varied  cloaks, 

Hazel-brush  a nd  sassafras,  the  sumac 

Stretch 

and  the  oaks 
leafy 

their 

g a r m e n ts 

above 

those  swelling  breasts 

Of  t he  p a t i e nt  hills  who  call  to  me 

to  gather 

their  bequests. 

Restless  w i th  latent  life,  beneath  t he 

dwindling  drifts, 
a re 

T he  hills 

shoulders 
t h r u s t i ng 
through  the  ever  widening  rifts. 
Spring,  a nd  laughing  water,  a nd  a 

gaunt-armed  white-oak 

tree 

Are  whispering,  a nd 

laughing,  and 

beckoning  to me. 

Sunshine-flooded,  softened  curves 
meet  t he  distant  sky; 

t h at 

Vibrant  air  engulfing 

them,  a  w a rm 

wind  loitering  by; 

It's  s u m m er  in  the  living  hills  where 
dwells  the  balm  of  peace; 
The  voices  call,  and  call  to  me,  and 

offer  care's  surcese. 

Nature's  banners 

whose  power 

flaunting 
thrills 

in  a  wind 

Scarlet  r a n ks  of  sumac  on  the  undu 

lating  hills; 

Blushing  groves  of  sassafras,  t he  gol 

den-rod's  bright  blaze 

Send  h a u n t i ng  calls  to  come  to  them 
in  a u t u m n 's  hazy  days. 

Smothered  in  t he  roistering  gale  t h a t 's 

Bare 

filled  with  biting  frost; 
trees  sobbing,  sobbing  for  the 
banners  t h at  are  lost; 

Rugged  friends  are  all  t he  hills  where 

w i n t er  holds  its  sway, 

And  my  eyes  a re  dim  w i th  searching 
for  the  path  t h at  leads  t h at  way. 

Tired  of  wandering,  filled  w i th 

long 
ing  for  t he  p a th  which  climbs 
the  slope 

Where  the  scarlet  of  t he  sumac  seems 

the  altar  fire  of  hope; 

May  I  once  again  t u rn  b a c k w a rd  and 

watch  t he  sunset  pale 

Till  the  shadows  of  t he  twilight  steal 

along  the  old  hill-trail.
