Years passed by. All around houses were built. Hedges gone, menacing fences now stood
Guard o'er the Forestry, locked against all but the few who bore treasured keys.
Progress soon swept all these barriers away. Open lay once more the grove of trees.
Paths were tread south and west leading from campus to faculty homes beyond.
Facing on Lincoln the hospital now stands in the midst of its sheltering trees,
Serving the students in sickness and trouble. The gift of their friend so true,
Senator McKinley. Changed is the Forestry and what the years may bring
We know not. Always a part of the campus life it must remain. Of this
We rest assured, and the sacrificed some of the fine trees, those spared will
Keep alive the ancient name and ever will this wooded strip be called, as now, the Forestry.
