PAGE FORTY-FOUR THE SENIOR ' PLEDGE Institution, Student Body, Alma Mater, and the rest- Terms of which we've heard a lot, Sometimes gladly. sometimes not: These and fifteen thousand others have on us been urged with zest By a faculty desirous that our minds be so impressed That when later years shall find us telling all the world with pride How to make the cricle square, Major points of Laissez-faire, We shall know whereof we speak, and know we're on the proper side, For we've read it in some books, and had it preached to us beside. This the view we've come to harbor of some oft-repeated facts: Dogmas we have learned to read With familiarity's breed: But another sense now warns us as the mighty world attracts. From the classroom and library the man-power that it lacks. That the world of skepticism is no more the world of truth Than the altruists fancy dream: And the world will have esteem For the advocate of precepts clean and moral-not uncouth With the sordid observations of a disillusioned youth. The World will be our Institution. The same rules will be applied- The human race will fill the classes, And when the three-score-tenth term passes A great Diploma to each student will be given or denied, According as the rules by which the student lived and died Were the old time Christian teachings, or some others worse than none To choose the former is the preference of the Cr.Ass OF '2I.
