When first she cleaned upon my

sight,
a lovely apparition, sent

Her eyes as stars of twilight fair,
Like twilights, two, her dusky hair;

like men, and to do like men,
have lost all the finer graces
and charms which have always
made men the slaves of the sex,

simply horrid, and it will be the
ambition and care of all friends
of this college that it shall never
send forth or harbor one of these
"horrid' creatures. Every true
man acknowledges the existence
