In Baltimore's embrace, where dreams ignite, Fresh faces tread through halls of storied might. A leaf’s descent marks summer’s gentle close, And freshmen find new paths where knowledge grows. The air, electric with a hopeful zeal, As minds prepare for what their hearts reveal. In catalogues of promise, futures wake, With each course chosen, myriad paths they take. Amidst the bricks of wisdom, branches sprawl, Young scholars gather where their spirits call. At Hopkins, where the pioneers convene, They chart new courses on a vibrant green. A compass set by passion’s steady hand, They weave their destiny in this new land. As registers proclaim with autumn's grace, The quest for knowledge born—a lively chase.
