Show U. of U. Chronicle Year Book 103 REYNOLDS - "It's an extremely perplexing duty, yon know. Naming the baby ! To find an appropriate title-just so- Naming the baby! True, 'Wilson' and 'Lowe' are near the Atlantic And 'Hadley'-but mercy! the name drives me frantic! Not Sherman'-nor 'Jordan', who smacks of the West,- I can't name him 'Boston,' although it sounds best! I hardly like Harvard,' for there he must go, And confusion might rise 'twdxt the names, don't you know ? Dear, dear me-now what-ah, glorious the thought! I'll name him Chancelllor hAioitglit!!! HOWELL - "I hope it won't seem like a dreadful mistake- This theory of life that I teach, These standards and tests for the things students do, Which hour by hour I preach: 'Don't say what you think, For it isn't artistic, "Be short and not long, In your labors linguistic, 'Avoid what is moral, It's often bombastic, 'Be masculine ever, Just like a gymnastic' "In scanning my laws, there's one, I'm quite sure, In which I am scarce an example- A theme that by Freshmen is never well done, (They'll never take me for a sample) : 'Pray shun the theme love, For it true is reported, Bv those of long practice, The subject's distorted. But I'll not repine ()ver morals depleted- They'll see through it all " When Rhet I. is completed.' " BEE WILKINSON - "I speak not a word, I breathe not a sigh, My foot falls as soft as a cat's on the sly; For of all I survey, I am monarch supreme, I'm as busv a Bee, as the bees' busy queen. |
