"Fair Harvard! we join in thy Jubilee throng, And with blessings surrender thee o’er By these Festival-rites, from the Age that is past, To the Age that is waiting before. O Relic and Type of our ancestors’ worth, That hast long kept their memory warm, First flow’r of their wilderness! Star of their night! Calm rising thro’ change and thro’ storm."
