I t was FreshmanInvestiture da y 1 a t I Mercyhurst!Miss LaCavera ' s words of welcomewere echoed in the heart of everyupper c lassman. In the I speakingof their pledge, the Freshmen expressed an understanding and fa nacceptance of the duties and privileges *; accompanying f the wearingof cap and gown. Miss Gent leman,speaking for the Freshm en, responded with enthusiasm to theinvi ta t ion extended by the seniors.Dr. M. J. Rel ihan, head of theschool of education, then welcomedthe freshman class in the name ofth e administration;and of the facul ty. His address was a splendidsummary of the significance of invest i ture , i of i t s privi leges and responsibi l i t ies, of the high purposeand great worth of qol iege years,of the opportuni t ies for balanced,many-sided development andgrowth which the student may andshould grasp during those years,and, part icularly, of Mercyhurst ' sde facto abi l i ty and readiness forsupplying and im proving theseopportuni t ies. In regard to thesingular good fortune of the college student ' s sta tus, Dr. Rel ihansaid:

"These next four years ought tobe golden ones for you. Theseyears offer you the r ichest opportunities of your lifetime for acquir ing knowledge which is basicin any understanding of l i fe . Youare re la t ively free from the t ime-consuming and energy-consumingresponsibilities of earning a livingand are thus able to devote*your-self to the acquisition of knowledge that will be of value to youin the- life-work you have chosenfo r yourself. This opportuni ty ofle isure to work toward defini tegoals is seldom duplicated in asimilar period of time in one'slife."

One of the fundamental andm ost devitalizing ailments ofmodern socie ty is the fact that i t smembers seem to have lost s i g h tof the primary purpose of l i fe andof the proper a l ignment of secondary purposes wi th this prima rypurpose. No one wil l deny that , byand large, society seems to be confused in regard # to that i ssue. Theneed of understanding the essential meaning of l i fe and of grasping tha t mean ing with grea tercomprehension, part icularly duringt hose formative years of lifeknown as col lege years, was emphasized by Dr. Relihan in the following words:

"During these years, i t i s a lsowithin your power to lay the foundation of a really sound philosophyof life, th at is, the developm ent ofat t i tudes of mind, of heart , of soul

mental at t i tudes, emotional 4 an dspir i tual a t t i tudes, socia l a t t i tudeswhich wil l serve you as a cri terion for evaluat ing the many conflicting and confusing experienceswhich will crowd in upon you whenyou step forth from col lege on thebroad highway of life."'HRThe Progra m Fo l l ows: I JE LI M e rc yhurs t , {Fair MercyhurstSong.

The Pegasus Club fjflSSfThe Pegasus Club held its firstmeeting of the year at i e ighto'clockjJThursday evening, November 8, in'the South Parlor. SisterPhilippa, the official head*'of th eclub, was present. Miss MarthaMyer: acted as chairman. Thosewho attended brought a favoritepoem and a | selection of originalverse. Reading of the originalpoems was followed J by commentboth critical and appreciative. Mr.J. A. Donatelli, the speaker of theevening, gave a most delightfultalk on some of the characteristicsof good : poetry. One can imaginethe delight with which the audiencelistened to an address some ofwhose excerpts read as follows:

"One might go up and down thewhole gam ut of life, from, birth todeath, and demonstrate that all ofus live poetry and that all poetryhas been lived before it is writtendown. One might add, by way ofan aside, that the-greatest poets-of-living are the saints, for thereason that they have approachedin their lives, more nearly perhaps,than we have in ours, to that perfect truth .and perfect beautywhich is the immovable goal of al lgood poetry....Most of us are poetswho have never written out ourlines.. . .As regards free verse, letme speak a little warning. Thereis very much that is good in freeverse, but there is also very muchtha t is dangerous to the t rue development of your poetic faculties. Free verse that is artisticallyadequate is not the easy thing itappears to be: it is all the moredifficult to write well for the veryreason tha t it is free. Man hasmore freedom and does his bestwork, not when he has license, butwhen i he has freedom within lim-its; so also, poetry which is theproduct of man and ought, r therefore, to be in harmony with hisnature, produces its best effectswhen "it has freedom within .limitswhich are |really limits. The veryfacility of free verse is its greateststumbling block; its apparent easeof construction is its great estfrap; its very artlessness demandsthat the poet be a consummate artist; its very formlessness demands that the ebb and flow, .'theflux and reflux of the thoug htand emotion b e transl ated intowords with rigid fidelity....Just asit is the magic of daily life thatwe do awake, so it is the magic ofa line of fine 'poetry tha t i t , too,awakes, that it returns daily to lifeout of its slumbers."

It is the sincere hope of the Pegasus Club that it will be favored,in the near future, with anothertalk by Mr. Donatelli.The Pega sus Club is intended topromote open discussion of poetry,to foster a love of poetry,j?and toencourage the writing of it amongmemb ers. Monthly meetings willbe held throughout the year.The O. 6. A. SororityThe O. G. A. Sorority, one of ourbusier clubs, met Thursday, October 25. Miss Elizabeth Wilbert, '33,and Miss E)eaiu>rfWilson '35, were

KS B (Continued from Page 3) J BBSorrow and sor row?"Era It is once again the cry of hu-1 mility th at was uttered so [manycenturies ago: "whence is this to9m e? " And, then, when she is madeBquite certain ! that her love is returned, see the fear of her woman-1 ly hear t tha t I this love I may notlast, see her determination that itmust last, see her knowledge thatHit will not, unless it lis ffounded upon something th at is un change-1able: JKffl J^rat '^&f*&Wfi*M"If thou must love me, let it be JK^Sfor nought jfej^B ' ' T I I ^1 Except for love's sake only . . . j | tha t evermore * 4 S$Thou mayst love on through I E SRf S| love' s e te rni ty ." m &

And then there is the anguished^regret that is the portion of alltrue lovers, the regret that 'lovehad not knocked at the heart earlier, the regret that so many dayshad been lived emptily which mighthave been filled to the brim with, ' love love, the nectarous draughtwhich transforms the weight ofdull, sequent, uninspired days intothe light, f leeting concentration ofa moment:!"Beloved, my beloved, when I thinkThat thou wast in the worlda year ago . . . !"Can any one, ' listening to tha tcri du coeur, deny that love makesbrief the length of days, that lovereaches out both before and afterto .include the past, the present,and the future within i ts grasp?

Every line of these sonnets isa renewal of the vow Mrs. Browning made on the day of her marriage. The sincerity, the durability,the inclusiveness of her love is asserted unt i r ingly, time after? time,with never a tinge of*weariness orsatiety. Such is, indeed, the natureof perfect love: that there nevercomes to it a sense \ of surfeit. Soinseparable was the blending oflove in the life of these poets thatMrs. Browning*!could write :"What I do v >An d whatgl dream include thee,as the wineMust taste of its own grapes.. ."Will anyone ever forget fthe un stin ting , f whole-souled * dedicationof a life to the love of its choosing expressed in that sonnet whichbegins (one is %with difficulty restrained from quoting it entire):"How do I love thee? Let me

count the ways.I love thee to the depth an djbreadth and he ightMy soul can reach, when feelingout of sight gFor the ends of Being andideal Grace.I love thee to the level ofeveryday's $ IMost quiet need, by sun and Icandle-light. . . ."

Finally, is it any wonder, then,that Mr. F. G. Kenyon has said, inhis edition of Mrs. Browning's"Let te r s" : "With the s ingle exception of Rossetti, no modern English poet has written of love|withsuch genius, such beauty, and suchsincerity, as the two who gave themost beautiful example of it
