A JOB LOT.
BY OUR FOOL POET
[Copyrighted]
In the fields the crows are calling. In the path the leaves are falling, seer and browned.
Comes a harsh monot nous rattle, from the corn field where the cattle tramp around.
Now the cooling rains in pity, pour their bald upon the city, hot and dry.
Now December's winds are sighing, now December's days are flying quickly by.
— I from "Sighs of a Solid Fellow," by H. E. F.
Now a pensive yearning feeling, like an Autumn mist is stealing, through my dream;
For no bliss my heart with joy stirs when I have to pay for oysters instead of cream.
TO THE SENIOR PLUG.
With dignity : And make the common John or Bill a resident.
Thou grim majestic pillar of collegiate honor,
What is there in thee that invests thy donor,
Bill a potentate?
Why is thy owner so sedate?
Upon the Senior's intellectual brow,
But I must say that I cannot see how
Why is the Senior such a dazzling "stunner."
With these above his classic plate.
Thou sittest with a knightly grace, I trow Upon the Senior's intellectual brow.
Thou can't withstand the Kansas breeze And wind within. Less things than these
But when I see thee, O thou stately one Upon the head of Oread's Senior son, Doran or Higgins, Bowersock or Cone, Such feelings rise within me that, Could any words express them put
Have caused far more pretentious hats than thou
To skip unfettered o'er the lees.
I think the language I should use would run:
"Oh short, the hot."
—[*Peats from the Preps, and other Poems*, by C. E., Street.
Examination at the University of Virginia.
I shall now touch upon that crowning jewel in the diadem of this grand old University—that, in fact, which has given her the reputation of which she is so justly proud, of sending from her halls men noted for their sense of honor and self respect. I refer to the honor system which has been in vogue here for more than forty years. A student's word is considered by the professor as good as his bond, and on examination there are no watchful teachers ready and glad to detect fraud, but a notice is simply put on the blackboard requesting those standing the examination to append to their papers the statement that they have neither given or received assistance. The student who signs this statement is considered to have pledged his honor. There has been only one case to my knowledge of cheating at examination, and on that occasion the students were so indignant at the confidence reposed in them being betrayed by one of their number, that they held a mass meeting and sent him away before the faculty could interpose. I have known of several cases of men caught cheating at cards or at something else dishonorable, and in every case the culprits were treated in the same way. —Lipipinnott's Magazine.
