Zeus in Otricoli NE might perhaps consider that after throne and state Olympian, A life upon a pedestal would seem a very simple one, Still although condemned forever to contemplate my wife, I find, excepting holidays, it ' s an interesting life. And although my lady Juno hears all the college dirt. There ' s plenty down at my end to keep my mind alert. What can this fearful racket be that ' s just above my head, It must be Miss Macdonald just bouncing out of bed. And this terrific titillation that I find so very jarring. It must be Barbara Gaviller at work at Registraring. And as for all this scurrying, to the best of my belief. It ' s only everybody looking for the President ' s handkerchief. And sometimes I hear a frenzy as of a fiend accurst, Which is merely all the unpaid bills enraging Sandy Hurst, I find it most affecting, and I try to be consoling, For I sympathize when I perceive a comptroller comptrolling. But most of all I tremble at the fearful eccentricity With which our Mrs. Caroline conducts her great publicity. Yet though I pass my days among the collegiate authorities, I find I am neglected by the undergraduate majorities: Juno, since I love you with a passion ceremonial, Although we ' ve had in times gone by some squabbles matrimonial, I pray you, Lady, share with me your priestesses devout, That I too may be worshipped, and be circled roundabout With forms of lovely maidens, who once in every hour Will sing and dance about me in adoration of my power. 20

PRINCE TELLS OF The College News ' long ago, searching for n castle l disenchant. The preparation was difficult, as ii requin al least four years ' graduate work, BEAUTY ROUSING At ' as1, by luc]i ' ' ,l the castIe ' hc said, l iit even then it was not easy my path Entered Briar- Walled Castle and was, so to speak, beset with thorns! Woke Princess With a Kiss His difficulties in penetrating the forest were at last crowned with success and recognition. HARDSHIPS OVERCOME After he had kissed the princesSj ; ,n was vc ., v It will be hard work, said the prince, speak- simple, ing in chapel Wednesday, April 51st. As a J cannot, however, stress too much the career, it holds very little promise of advance- inadvisability of such a career for women. Very ment, as the number of sleeping beauties is f ew of the first-class training schools are coedu- limited. cational, and even after you get the training, The prince then told something of his own it is too hard a life for a woman. Besides, few struggle to reach his present position. He began Beauties will have women as disenchanters. As Self-Government Might Get It As far as I can gather, this is the story. It seems these two girls were walk- ing last Sunday afternoon about five, along the road that follows the stream at the foot of Gulf Road, — you know along by the cemetery. There were just the two of them but it wasn ' t quite dark so that ' s all right. They saw some friends of theirs coming up the road, so they thought, in a silly moment, that they ' d slip into the woods and hide, — and this is where the fun comes in. In the woods there, what do you suppose they saw, — a beautiful blonde all dressed up in a masquer- ade costume, sound asleep on the ground! Imagine! They said she looked posi- tively abandoned lying around the woods that way. Well, they were going to wake her up when they heard somebody coming, so thej ' hid behind a tree to see what else might happen. A man came along, good-looking they said, all dressed up in funny clothes too, sort of peering around in a lost kind of way until he saw her. Then his face lit up and without any more ado he just leaned over and kissed her! The girls were simply overcome, but they were awfully courageous, I think, and stepped right out and told her to report herself immediately. But she just looked them up and down in a cold sort of way and said, ' I am accustomed to do exactly as I please. Will you kindly withdraw or I ' ll call the King and Queen, my father and mother. ' But they said right back to her, ' Oh, but your father and mother died years ago. There are no more autocrats. Don ' t you know that eve ything is run now by the free intercourse of young minds in our new sj ' stem of Self-Government? ' ' Self Government, ' she cried, ' you have to make your own rules as well as break them? Oh Prince, why did you waken me? Do I look like the sort of person who could remember to come in at ten-thirty? Put me back to sleep, put me back to sleep. ' He just stood around looking embarrassed in his Van Horn costume and the girls didn ' t know what else to do, so they came and told me. Now how do you deal with a case like this? 19
