Causa Scientiae HHN De Maupassant wrote, It was one of those sad days which give one the blues, he must have been thinking of the day when the D'Y. C. science minors should cut up their frogs. It was an eventful day for everyone concerned-even for the frogs. They, poor beasts, quite unmindful of their impending fate, croaked blissfully until the appointed hour when a can of ether ended their dubious music once and for all. Evidently the frogs had had a great deal of ensemble practice, because their harmony was unusually good. Two of them in particular exhibited a most remarkable knowledge of counterpoint. One carried the melody while another threw in the thirds. Of course the thirds ranged between augmented seconds and diminished fourths, but the general effect was very fine. The fact that they were a little off key made no difference to the frogs, They continued their croaking well nigh unto the end, glaring savagely through the half rest which everyone hoped would be an eternal rest. The Seniors, on the other hand, were very much upset. Every time the frogs jumped they jumped, too, until finally both were so exhausted that it became a question as to who would last longer- frogs or Seniors. If the former had not succumbed when they did, we doubt whether the graduating class would have been fortyfsix or a number considerably less. It was not long, however, before the Seniors with their customary determination had control of the situation and were wielding scalpel and scissors with the dexterity of surgeons. But even the dexterity of surgeons may be baffled at times. The exploitations of one of the frogs bears startling testimony to this fact. For Mr. Froggie, with a longitudinal slit in his ventral side and eight pins through his hands and feet, decided during the absence of his anatomist that he would uafwooing go. And so, with the spirit of a Napoleon, he jumped off the table, pins and all, and went capering about the room as gleefully as could be. You may be sure that this event terminated Mr. Froggie's spotted career. He was caught in due time and restored to his rightful owner, but not until after he had created a small panic among the students. Excitement waxed high as it had a year before when Gertrude, the turtle, appeared in a Latin class. The frog, however, seemed to prefer a scientific to a classical environment. K As to the present whereabouts of the frogs it is hard to speculate. Their bodies have gone the way of all flesh, with, of course, a few differences as to the manner of their going. And their souls? . . . Ah woe, Ah wretched! We fear that they will return to haunt the dissecting boards-an everlasting reminder of the cruel tortures which they had to undergo. But, whatever the cost, the realms of science must be explored. And so, dear frogs, despite the fact that your flesh has been boiled unceref moniously in a can of caustic potashg despite the fact that your bones have been mounted into shapes grotesque beyond recognition, despite all these maltreatments, let this truth be a panacea for your ills: It is better to be hanged in person than to be hanged in efhgy. -MARY MURPHY, '30 One Hundred Thirtyftwo
