When the speaker had finished, the boys stood up and sang one of their favorite hymns:

“Rab der bisé Kaimi kala

Fourtunada émin meldja.

Oi Kayanin Kavourhounda

Boulouroum her-den bir meldja.”

“The Lord is our strong fortress,

A sure refuge in the storm,

Beside this Rock

I may always find a refuge.”

The Sophomores were to begin their work in Natural Science on this morning. The course was given by Professor Pagratian, who was also proctor of their class.
