LETTERS TO GUILFORDIAN.

WHY NOT SOME HEAT NOW?
Whew! Why in the world can't I
have some heat in my room? Found
ers will soon be filled with sick boys,
gut surely just studying in a cold
room couldn't give a fellow a cold.
I guess what I miss here I'll catch in
the library reading tihose books and
books that can't be removed. But
there's a bright side to that; I might
be so fortunate as to get to the hot
end of one of the few radiators in
the library that get hot at one end.
The higher coal gets the colder we
get, but sudh is life. We can at least
be thankful that the odoriferous
peaches and cream heat in King Hall
is practically odorless, now.
UNCLE MUNN'S CORNIER.
DEAR IDIOTORIAL BORED: I
think your blessed paper's on the
blink, and if I cussed you all I
should, t'would take about a quart
of ink. Your editorials are punk,
the articles are mostly bunk, and if
it wer'mot for me your sheet would
not be worth its weight in junk.
(A decent self respect prevents us
from printing any more of this. We
kicked Uncle Munn, sent him home
and told him to try again. The ex
perience seems to have sobered him
for he came back with the following.
He asked us to sing it, but we re
fused.)
O Guilford, fair, immortal
Thy children cal'l to thee
To open wide the porta'l
Of learning's mystery
Where burns thy lamp forever
In wisdom's holy shrine,
O help our weak endeavor
To light our lamp with thine.
Upon thy knees maternal
We listen to the story
Of life and truth eternal
And wisdom's goal of glory.
Thy life is full of flowers
Whose petals all are we,
We wither with the hours
Thou bloom'st immortally.
The sinking sun adorning
The grey and crimson skies
In evening or in morning
Thy colors greet our eyes.
With autumn's crimson s,plendors
Or winter's coat of grey
The changing year engenders
Thy banner grave and gay.
Thy colors proudly wearing
We've struggled in thy name
On many a field of daring
To guard thee from all shame.
Thy brood around thee gathers,
Oh hear us while we pray,
As thou hast taught our fathers
Teach us again tocfay.
Take us all undeserving
And guide our steps arlgnt,
With love to thee unswerving
To lead us to the ligtht.
