Those COLLEGE Bows.

There's nothing so happy, so gay and so
free
AS boys who are trying to make degree.
They shout till their throats are as rough
as a file
And ogle and stare at the ladies mean
while.
On work they are short as a mother made
pie;
For football and gym work they con-
stantly sigh;
They don't give a rap for the way the
world goes;
They think that 1t lies at the tips of their
toes.
A chemical test Of our varsity boys
Most likely would show big percentage Of
noise,
Together with nerve to put up a good
front
And come out all right when they're do
ing their stunt.
They swagger and boast with an infinite
gall
And think that the world will respond to
their call:
They spend all the dollars their daddies
can send
And learn how it is for themselves at the
end.
