3. ORATION. By James I.T. Coolidge. Boston.
4. POEM. By James R. Lowell.* Boston.
5. ODE. By John F.W. Ware. Cambridge.
Tune. “Auld Lang Syne.”
The voice of joy is hushed around,
Still is each heart and tongue;
We part for aye,—at duty’s call
We break the pleasing spell.
We meet to part,—no more to meet
Within these sacred walls,—
