' J ' ' ' E S E THE ROMANCE OF DICKINSON COLLEGE-Continued Q The ideal place ! they cried, reading the letter, E For our Paiitisocracynaught could be better! g So ho, for this new institution of knowledge- : America, Carlisle, and Dickinson College! E But Coleridge and Southy their way could not see g To pack up their kits and sail over the sea, I Yet a wise man called Nisbet, who lived in Montrose, E Was offered a job, so he packs up and goes. g He ran Dickinson well till West College was fired, E Then he built it again, and quite calmly expired. : The college went on until war came again, Demanding the service of Dickinson men. 2 The whole Senior class shouldered guns and left school, E And five chaps were fired because of a duel. -1 When the war was over, the boys came -back, 2 A new prexy named Atwater in the first hack, I A tyrant he was, as with T-arquin at Rome, : A Brutus arose, he went kitin' back home. E Then came John McKnight, for a year and a day,- E He was fired because he cut Y. M. C. A. g John Mason attempted to fill MCKIllgllt,S shoes, 2 But while he was here the Trustees raised the deuce. E He was once seen to wink at a member 's wife, : And then left Carlisle on the pain of his life. S For thirteen years thc Trustees held the floor E i And showed more than one man the way to the door. g Then the Methodists came, and they stopped the disturbin' S For head of the school they chose Johnny P. Durbin. E Things went along fine and with smooth regularity g Till the Civil War came and dispelled solidarity. I Some went to enlist with the Boys in the Blue, E Some went back to Dixie and fought well there, too, g Some got through the war looking worse for the wear, 2 But very few ever returned to Bellaire. E Docky Reed took the helm when we lay on the shoals E And steered the ship safely to long looked-for goals. I He established the Law School, library and all, E And worked Andy Carnegie to build Conway Hall. g But we all will admit that l1is master-work was I The admittance of co-eds to study with us. E Now Jim Henry Morgan is running the game, Ig l ' And we stand at the very pinochle of fame. , 2 ,So here 's to old Dickinson-long may she live! E p Wealth, honor, and all that the rolling years give I Shall be hers, for her name will be known wide and far E When the class of '18 shows the world who they are.
