REMONSTRANCE
By T. M. Hart V
“How have you spent the golden days
That now are gone forever
Ju learning’s quiet simple ways,
Or pleasures’ vain endeavor T”.
So asks the sage with solemn face,
And counsels us to fear
The dire results of pleasures’ waste
That so beset us here.- .
Another message, I- desire
To giye you, if you will
And to my aid invoke the lyre
That message to instjll.
Chanson.
When all the world’s in sp ringtime
bloom
And life is in' its May, . ‘
When songs of love enchant the night
And pleasures speed the day;

school^ of this and foreign countries,
now each in the several academic and
professional schools of the university.
A recent survey of the literary work
of the faculty members shows that a
total of twOnty-sevori recognized vol

that their test in the field of scholar
ship is. maintained by the fact that
fourteen -of them appear in "Who’s

have never met an amateur.
When nature cells the heart of youth
To worship at her 'shrine,'
To taste with her the fruits of love
So sweeter far than wine;
Gan he resist her Turing call, .
And spurn the joys' she gives ?
Gan he who learns know half the joys
That comes to him who lives ?
So Spring-is calling to the youth
To live while yet he may,
Such pleasures in a few brief years
Foreyer pass away.
When all the world’s in springtime
bloom,
With flowers newly- sprung,
Oh, that's the time to live and love
When all the world is young.
DIXIELAND FER ME
THAT SCRAPPING
MERCER TEAM
By “Sid” Wingfield
Gome build your biggest bonfire, boya,
Go gather lota of flowera;
For we must cheer with life's fond
joys
That scrapping team of ours.
They’ve trimmed the champions of
our land,
They’ve done their best for us.
And we must cheer with generous
hand;
We’ll back ’em or we’ll burst.
Proud Wabash came, to “rope us in.”
They thought they’d have a “crip.”
What did those Baptists do but win ?
They gave the champs a slip.
And so with pen in hand I sit,
I count the dragging hours
When I can do my “wee” small bit
For that scrapping team of ours.

Dixieland is my land,
Its lowland, ita highland,
Its cotton fields and corn,
Sweet with the dew-kist morn-
From mountain height to sea,
It’s Dixieland fer me!
Dixieland is my land,
For her my sires once bled, '
Who sleep as sainted dead
Beneath the grass-grown sod’
In peace with man and God;
To them all honor be
lt’s Dixieland fer me!
Dixieland is my land;
Her maidens are the neatest,
The purest and the sweetst;
Their faces are the fairest,
Their graces are the rarest
That ever eyes did see—
It’s Dixieland fer me!
Dixieland is my land, -.
Its sunshine and its flowers,
Its. golden, dreamy houra
Where all the whole day long
Life seems a grand sweet song,
This is my prayer and plea—
Give Dixieland to me!

“Yes,” replied Mark, “I can easily
imagine something worse than that
