Encina Revisited Comrades, chase thyselves a moment, and leave me here alone; Go, lest thou be disheartened by the old alumni moan. ' Tis the place, yet lackj it something of the picture I recall Of a rowdy, frosh-infested, auld lang syne Encina Hall. Many a night from yonder casement dropt a water-bag to drown Some unsuspecting junior with a torrent on his crown; Many a night the ardent session ended in a jack -pot game In that aboriginal era before the transfers came. Here about the Quad I wandered, sharpening my callow wit On the fairy tales of Biol. I and long result of Cit.; When the din was on the freshman and the paddle in the hand, And the voice of sna e or sponsor was raised not in the land; When I dipt into the future, quite unable to foresee That the sophomore or Toonerville should ever cease to be. Oh, those ancient, happy Hello ' s ! Oh, the Poster Fight ' s grim fray! O h, the merry road to Menlo! Oh, the rough who had his Day ! Thusly bodes the glum old-timer, as he wags his ancient jaws: Stanford is not what she used to be; moreover, never was In the Spring the sparkling scutcheon blossoms on the pledgee ' s vest; In the Spring the gaudy fiunkout leaves the campus by request; In the Spring the plaintive kjaxon is heard on Row and Hill; In the Spring a young man ' s fancy, and a young maid fancier still; And despite the old alumni and his sempiternal wails Of a low, enfeebled creature raised on tea and buttered snails; Of a wea -knee ' d generation , reft of glory, grit, or glee. Holding honor but a system, and success a golden key; Of one increasing purpose to make our campus blest As a paradise of dry bawls, the Harvard of the West Still the glory is not vanished, still the playing fields resound With the clamor of the rooters as the Redshirts conquer ground; Still the men of Thirty end what was by Ninety-Nine begun. When an Axe came home from Berkeley with a valiant Twenty -One! Knowledge comes, but wisdom lingers, from times primordial Better seven months at Stanford than a century at Cal. ! Come what may, the spirit lingers; on the Quad the blossoms blow. And still the Cardinal flutters, though you and I may go. A. Grove Day, ' 26.
