1927 BACCALAUREATE HYMN

Oh, ancient walls we leave today

Remain to be our guide;

The Strength, the power upon our way,

The Helper by our side.

And as the hours turn into days,

The years to years gone by,

Be yet our force till life decays,

The hand that holds us high.

When failure closes out the light,

Or glory makes us blind,

Be still with us to show the right,

A critic not unkind.

As from thy gates we turn away

And face a world unknown,

Oh, Harvard, grant we live today

The life that thou has shown. Richard Donham '27

entire Class of 1927 will join in a hymn.
