Here begitmeth the Book of the Records of 1911 ' T was in nineteen and seven, one September day, That our company first met beside the way — For we had all decided our way to wend Unto Learning ' s shrine, our offerings to tend. While journeying into the Land of Knowledge, We needs must stop at Sweet Briar College. And to that place did come a merry band Of maids that came from many a land; Though few we were, you might never surpass The noble company of that bold class. And now, my friends, I pray you forgive me If I cannot quite set forth their degree Here in this tale as they really should stand — My wit is short, as you ' ll soon understand. And so, if you will give me your attention, I think it meet that I shall here make mention Of each of them who joined us on that day. And tell how they looked, and in what array. The first one seen was when we all were set At table, to such cheer as we might get. This maid was tall and full large of stature. And passing fair of face, I tell you sure; Two eyes right saintly beamed from her visage. With lashes long which she well could manage. For her glances were all full simple and coy; And in science and its laws was all her joy.
