After life of 19l years the alnau mater

Oldest college in the United States,

Come let us look at it casaelE
It's very ugly word
And one that makes me sbmner
Whenever it il. heard
1t may not be always wicked;
II must be always sad
And speaks OF sin and suffering
Enough to make one mad.
/ They say it is a comp wosd.

/ And then they decompose it,,
Andtha they're free to doe
If, Of the dozen letters
We take off the first three,
We havet the nine remaining
AS sad sad can be-
For though it seems to make it less
In fact it makes 1t more;
For it takes the brute creation I'M
That was left out befBFe.
Instead of three and nine;
Let us make it -four and siqht;;
You'll say it makes no difference
AT least none very great.
But only see the consequence
'Tis all that needs be done
To change this mass of sadness
To unmitigated fun.
1t clears of swords and pistols,
Revolvers, bowie-kniyes,
Andall those horrid Weapons
BY which men lose their lives.
1t wakes nations voices;
And now most joyfully is heard
The native sound of gladness,
Compressed into one word.
Yes,--four and eight my friends.
Let that be yours and mine;
For all the hosts of demons
Rejoice in three and nine.

Wisdom is independence. The man
who has acquired knowledge, can in a
great measure control his own future.
His opportunities for earning money
are largely increased; his pleasures lie in
his love of reading and study, and are
therefore always open to him; he is re-
spected by his fellow men; he never
feels the WEAKNESS of the vacant mind;
if reverses come to him--his wisdom en-
ables him to meet them bravely and
often to conquer them. School Room
