Excerpt from The Sigma Chi Quarterly, Vol. 8: The Official Organ of the Sigma Chi Fraternity, November, 1888 Sweetly, reverently, strong and full, two verses of that grand world hymn floated out upon the darkness; they sounded strangely sweet, coming from what a moment before and a moment after, was a crowd of thoughtless boys. The long double lines of lights that silently marked out in the darkness the streets of the great city; the occasional flash that lit up a storm-cloud far away on the northern horizon the white gleam of the water as the little steamer ploughed its rippled sur face; the music, the companionship, the associations awakened by the old songs and familiar voices and words, combined to make one of those hours which stand like shining mile-stones, and are planted none too thickly, even in our college days.
