THE MARSHALL FIELD IDEA 
“To do (lie right thing at the right time in the right 
way; to do some things better than they were ever done 
before; to eliminate errors; to know both sides of the 
question; to be courteous; to be an example; to work for 
the love of the work; to anticipate requirements; to de¬ 
velop resources; to recognize no impediments; to master 
circumstances; to act from reason rather than rule; to 
be satisfied with nothing short of perfection. 
Near the shade of Lookout Mountain, up in Eastern Ten¬ 
nessee, 
There’s a rendezvous that’s making and it’s there that I 
would be, 
For I feel my heart strings pulling and some voices seem 
to say: 
Come you on, you Southern Treeman; come you on to 
S. N. A. 
Come you on to S. N. A., 
Where the boys talk, cuss and pray; 
But their voices sound angelic, 
Just like music any day. 
I want to see Bob Mayhew, Charley Smith and Henry 
Chase, 
Paul Bindley and the others—every one a trumping ace, 
And old friend Johnny Fraser smoking of a big cheroot, 
And a thousand other side shows that are thrown in all 
to boot 
At the good old S. N. A., 
Where we all join in the fray, 
And we always make some history 
As we meet from day to day. 
We have got to do some thinking, for there’s many things 
to do, 
The issues that confront us are up to me and you; 
And the surest way to meet them may be made a simple 
art 
If we all just pull together and each man do his part— 
Just each man do his part, 
When the gavel sounds just start 
To do the chores put to you 
With hand and head and heart. 
I’m tired of budding roses, making cuttings and the like, 
The wanderlust has gripped me, I must pack my grip and 
hike, 
Though a hundred hands would stay me and keep me 
from the fray— 
I am bound for Chattanooga and the good old S. N. A. 
The town of Chattanooga 
Made of smoke and rock and clay, 
(The town holds little interest) ’ 
’Tis the boys of S. N. A.! 
Ship me somewhere east of somewhere where I can join 
my friends, 
Where we junk our disagreements and our pleasure 
never ends, 
For I hear some voices calling and each one seems to say: 
Come you on, you Southern Treeman; come vou on to 
S. N. A. 
Come you on to S. N. A., 
Where the boys talk, cuss and pray; 
Where their voices sound angelic, 
Just like music any day 
August 20, 1921 — S. W. Crowell, Roseacres, Miss.
