New Sort of College Song

From the Cincinnati Times-Star.
 We often hear the complaint that col-
 colleges are more concerned with ath-
 etics than learning. It is pointed out
 that college songs celebrate the punt,
 the home run and the featherered stroke
 rather than the parsing of Greek verb or the intrlcacies of integral calculus. The only noteworthy exception has been tho repetition of the famous chorus from
 Aristophanes Frogs in the Yale cheer,
 but there is a lingering suspicion that 1t was not intended as an erudite reference by the sons of Old Eli but was utilized for its acoustical effect. The students of Michigan Agricultural college have departed from this tradition. In their college song, which was sung with great effect at a recent game in
 which the M. A. C. eleven defeated the University of Michigan, all but two lines
 concerns the curriculum of this useful in-
 stitution of learning.
 Hurrah for the harrow, Ilurrah for the blow Hurrah for the cabbage, Hurrah for the COW Ilurrah for the turnip, Iurrah for the pea, Hurrah for the roller .. From M. A. C. l A veritahle Marseillaise in which the
 man with the hoe celebrates his football supremacy over the academic sons of Ann | Arbor. With such inspiring lines it is | no wonder that the progeny of the soil plowed through Hurry Up" Yost's har- l rowed line and raised a large crop of victory's garlands upon the gridiron. This lyric of the Michigan Agricultural college Is unique in the anthology of col lege songs. It shows that the students
 of applied bucolies love their lessons as well as physical prowess.
