“HENRY W. WARREN.”
Dr. Vincent then read the following:
Let Framingham Chautauqua hail,
The child the mother greet!
O’er intervening hill and dale,
Oh, courier, be fleet!
Say, “Brothers, fellow-students, friends,
Ne’er turn to look behind;
For they whose pathway upward tends,
The sun-crowned summits find.
“The outlook broadens, even now,
A vision rare and grand;
Hope in each heart, light on each brow,
Join welcome hand to hand!
“And while the kindly grasp gives strength,
Repeat along the line:
‘We’ll turn from earthly lore, at length
Beloved, to things divine.
“‘Bright with perennial health and youth,
When that glad time shall be,
Our guide the way, the life, the truth,
Immortal pupils we!’”
After the reading of the congratulations and greetings, Dr. Vincent
and President Miller presented the members of class ’83, present at
