 tZTfje Calfpatfj (With Apologies) Walking across the campus green, A Wesleyan girl one day was seen. She made a path all bent askew; A crooked trail, as all girls do. The trail was taken up next day, And with her strolled a lad, they say. Each day in manner quite devout They trailed this zigzag path about. A century now almost is fled, And I infer these two are dead. But still they left behind their trail, And thereby hangs my moral tale. And from that day o’er campus green, Many a couple each day is seen. And many men wind in and out, And dodge and turn and bend about. A thousand others have been led By this one couple long since dead. The Proxy utters words of wrath About the windings of this path. Still they follow the beaten track, And in and out and forth and back. And still their devious way pursue To keep the path that others do.
