Book excerpt: Excerpt from Songs of the Psi Upsilon Fraternity Until the sands of life are run We'll sing to thee, Psi Upsilon. A brief history of the growth of the song-book may with propriety be sketched here. Our modern Tyrtaeus is the Hon. Francis M. Finch, (beta, whose first five songs, written in his under-graduate days, formed the nucleus of the little collection published in 1849. These were the Anthem, The Halls of Psi Upsilon, The Fairies' Song, The Mystical Bower, Psi Upsilon Smoking Song, and found in the present edi tion on pp. 68, 112, 136, 144, and 212 respectively. Of the four other songs in that edition, the only one whose authorship is known was not printed in the succeeding edi tions, until a part of it reappeared in 1870 and was continued under the title of Ode until the edition of 1881, where it may be found on page 75; and the only one of the four that seems at all worthy to have an enduring place in Psi Upsilon hymnology is the anonymous song, Round Our Altar, found on page 202 of this book.
