SCHOOL. Tell me not in mournful numbers, The Freshmen are a stupid set. Wisdom is not dead that slumbers; Perhaps they’ll turn out all right yet. School is real, school is earnest, And your marks are not your goal. To school thou com’st, to school returnest, To broaden body, mind and soul. Not to learn a trade or business, So the teachers always say, But to lose a little greenness, To be less verdant than today. This surely were an end to strive for, But your hearts, though brave and strong. May at limes give way and languor, For the task is hard and long! Trust no pony, howe’er docile! Let the answers go to smash! Dig—dig with mind and pencil! Work without the teacher’s lash! Let them, then, be up and doing. With a heart for all rebuff, Still achieving, still pursuing, Learn to study and to bluff. -R. P., ’07
