20 University Reporter. A life to us, so true, so dear, A friend so faithful and so near, A leader wise who had no fear, Can we refuse to shed a tear, To think he sleeps so sound. A soldier, statesman and a man, His country’s both in heart and hand, The leader of a vanquished van, Now gone; but such a soul must land Where peace will e’er abound. W. D. R. AN INNOVATION. Here in the University of Georgia, we hear, A nice innovation is established this year Which surpasses any of a former kind Aet it causes to students much trouble of mind. Its a new social feature, on which we now brag, And is one, which, we think, will capture the rag. Those that take part, and of these there are few, Say that it is very pleasant, and entirely new. Those that attend, are selected with care Yet wish that they did not have to be there, Although all of the features are highly enjoyed Still when it is over some guests seem annoyed, For on many fair brows, I noted a frown, And all seem to enjoy holding their fair heads bent down. I do not know why, yet I thought one looked cheap, And another one closely resembled a .sheep; A friend of mine looked as though he’d been drugged, When I asked him about it, I came near being slugged, And so I resolved that this course be best Togo off with myself, and take a long rest. But I hope that my reader is not dull of conception, For I’ve only been speaking of Dr. Bogg’s recep ion. Est Abiuttm Co ns pi* "it.
