There they still meet at regular and irregular intervals, where they continue to listen to the "down south" stories of one Hopkins, stories still good or bad. but alack, no longer refreshingly new ; where they still discuss athletics, professors, "co-eds," and all the rest of it, or speculate on the possibilities of retaining possession of a pool table, lately purchased on the installment plan; where they continue to eat their peanuts and Saratoga chips, or gorge themselves at the banquet board, as it were, whenever residual moneys permit, or drink their water straight-provided someone is willing to brave the cobwebs and mustiness of the cellar to turn on the coveted liquid.There you will always find open house with Jack ever ready to receive you and fill your pipe with his good old "Cornell," or to descend to the subway in order to repair the plumbing that you may drink. There, too, you will find entertainment at the hands of Marshall, the big, ever bubbling over with nerve racking declamation or soul subduing song.All considered, these Amicians live a rollicking life. In the words fo the afore-mentioned Hopkins, the incomparable poet of the Fraternity:There's a jolly fellowship In a Frat;Kindred feelings that we grip And stand pat.They bring students very near.Thoughts of "profs.'' all disappearAnd we have no secret fear In a Frat. |
