Show U. of U. Chronicle Year Book 1 03REYNOLDS -"It's an extremely perplexing duty, you 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 'twixt the names, don't you know? Dear, dear me-now what-ah, glorious the thought!I'll name him 'Chancelllor EYwught!!!' "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, T>e 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, By those of long practice,The subject's distorted. But I'll not repineOver morals depleted- They'll see through it allWhen 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 busy a Bee, as the bees' busy queen. |
