ADDED FOR THE ALUMNI MEETING, JUNE 29,

1869.

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!
