There have been several books OF eastern
college: songs published, but hitherto there
has been no volume of such songs of western
origin issued and the uniformed are apt to
get the impression that the western college
man are singing the eastern college songs. In
| this volume we have the best songs of
western origin from the Appalachian and AL
! legheny mountains to the Pacific coast There
are about 200 of these and there are some
| very good ones among them as college songs
| go. Here are some stanzas from various
| songs: -
| Mabel's coming home from college,
| With the sheepskin that she's won;
I 81 Suppose pE, Sc, she's gained knowledge ~
| Wonder If Mab's forgotten,
| Ere she corrugated Greek,
How we roamed beneath the cotton
| Woods that bent above the creek?
| No so reminiscential Is
Jolly golfng weather -
| And a smooth, fair green;
Two out together,
| Jack paired with Jeanne.

the reading world an intimation that new,
original. picturesque, forceful American

he has shown his power in an extraordinary
manner and depicts the romance Of the log
