"Two Poems: Class Day Poem; The Purple Hills" by Henry Rutgers Conger is a collection of poetry written in the late 19th century. This book features two reflective poems that celebrate the transition from academic life to the wider world, capturing themes of nostalgia and the importance of wisdom. It serves as a tribute to Conger's experiences as a student at Williams College and his subsequent legacy. The first poem, "Class Day Poem," conveys the sentiments of graduates bidding farewell to their alma mater, emphasizing the lessons learned during their time there. Through the voice of the college as a nurturing mother, it urges the students to remember their educations while venturing into a world filled with challenges. The second poem, "The Purple Hills," evokes imagery of the college campus at sunset, symbolizing the cherished memories of college life and the enduring connection the graduates will hold for their beloved hills, even amid life's struggles. Together, the poems encapsulate a bittersweet farewell, reflecting on the past while encouraging resilience and purpose in the future. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
