You pay a price exorbitant
This cherished morsel to procure;
You get a gem of the bookman's art
And five cents' worth of literature.

~His Father Took Him Home.~
"I was always so poor in Greek,"
_He played the guitar_,
"A 'dec' I never could speak,"
_He won every race_,
"My Latin I have to 'horse,'"
_In football a star_,
"The German is 'cribbed' perforce."
_He played second base._

~Beautiful Sprig.~
Sprig, sweet Sprig, is cobig;
For I feel it id the air,
See, the groud is gedtly thawig,
Bud ad slush are everywhere.
Dow I doff by widter fladdels,
Ad I dod by subber close;
Thed for weeks ad weeks together
Vaidly try to blow by dose.

III. COLLEGE AND CAMPUS
~The Way of It.~
A little learning, scattered o'er
A frolic of four years or more.
Then--Presto, change!--and you create
The sober college graduate!
_Yale Record_.
~Comfort.~
With pipe and book, an old armchair,
A glowing hearth, what need I care
For empty honors, wealth or fame?
Grant me but this: an honest name,
A cup of ale, a coat to wear,
And then, while smoke wreaths rift the air,
The banquet of the gods I share,
Content to sit before the flame
With pipe and book.
