"We tread our paths so easily, Now worn quite smooth by other feet, We scarce will deign to look
upon The rougher paths, which may ours meet. So we forget that our smooth way Was once as
rough and hard as these; That many traveled painfully, That we might travel on in lease."
- Grace Foster, Alpha, Colby College
From the Autumn 1921 Sigma Kappa Triangle, celebrating 50 years of women's admission to Colby
