(Enormous Man Hater) Page 59 The exact date of the founding of this club is lost in the mists of antiquity, but there is no doubt that the institution has long flourished. We have had many famous members, one of the greatest of them the good “Queen Bess,” whose great ability in ruling men was largely due to her being an active member of this organization. One of our principal objects is the suppression of that malady, Love, which has been termed “an insane desire on the part of one man to support another man ' s daughter.” This disease has from the earliest time caused an immense and incalculable amount of trouble. For Helen, Troy was burned; for Cleopatra, a brave man turned traitor to his country. Then we know, too, when a certain one of our professors does not receive his expected visit from the postman, that we have an awfully hard time. Even our editors have lost a passably good story, that they dared not accept for fear some readers might recognize the hero and heroine as acquaintances. So the long and the short of our convictions may be best expressed in the motto which we have unanimously adopted: “Where singleness is bliss, tis folly to be wives. ”
