But vengence of Heaven followed swift on their act, And before tue next morning was seen, By the Cholera Morbus the tribe was attacked, For that Freshman was terribly green. “Dear Father, am on the hog. Please send money to come home on.” Son. “ Dear Son, sell the hog and buy a ticket. ” Father. “ Caesar sic dicit on the cur egesi lictum. ” Freshman, (translating) “ Caesar sicked the cat on the cur ; I guessed he licked him. ’ GREAT SCOTT If Ivanhoed the bonny brae, And Athelstaned his tunic blue, If Friar tucked the food away, Pray what, oh what did Roderick Dhu ? At opposite sides of the sofa They sat with vain regrets, She had been eating onions, He smoking cigarettes. Here’s to the faculty, long may they live, Even as long as the lessons they give. If a body sees a body Thinking on a quiz, If a body helps a body, Is it teacher’s biz ? “ My son, you’ll find it takes tact and ingenuity to get along with the girls. ” “ Yes dad, and lots of money, could you let me have five? ” Indian Father, (after hearing the college yell of his son :) “ Umph ; You learn that at college ?” Son, (proudly) “ Yes ” Father, “ Good ! whiteman got some sense, teach boy war-hoop. ”
