X stands for Neatness, so much wished for by all. If you’ve never seen it just visit the Hall. O is for Oatman, who rings the old bell. Of triumphs and victories it often does tell. P stands for Philbert, philosophical gink; To work up this rhyme it took lots of think. Q is for Quest, a search or a hunt. The back of the book is never the front. R stands for Rouge, makes your face nice and rosy. That’s why Lucilc Whitney is so like a posy. S is for Strollers, on the campus so green And down the “K Line” they often are seen. T stands for Truth; stuff told by this staff. Of all of their knowledge they’ve told but the half. U is for Universe, of which we’ve learned much. If the Kaiser wins out ’twill belong to the Dutch. V’s for Vacation, when we pack up our trunks, Go home for a time and return with Dad’s plunks. W’s for Wesleyan, the best toast of all: “We’ll look for you there when the bell rings next fall.” X for ’Xeuses, so hard to obtain. Without them your strivings for grades are in vain. Y is for Yellmaster. He acts like a fool; He toots his big horn and roots for the school. Z is for Zero, the grade we all dread. This poem’s all over; the last has been said.

A WESLEYAN ALPHABET A stands for Amour, French stuff for mush; Wise-eyed professors sometimes call it gush. B is for Banquet, a stunt in the fall ; The once in the year that we eat at the Hall. C stands for Campustry—your major, I think. It will put, per experience, grades on the blink. D is for Damsel, shy and demure (Of that latter statement we’re not quite so sure). E stands for Engagements, this we know well Who’ll be the next fool you never can tell. F is for Freshmen, a green kind of plant. Although they are pests, do without them you can’t. G stands for Grind; means suns beauty, sans love. You may get your lessons, but no turtledove. H is fr Hy-lo-the-is-ti-co-lism, A serious, supernatorial sism. I is for Ignorance; it surely is bliss. You think, and you’re right—’twould rhyme best with J stands for Juniors, a class with the pep. We’re not like the Seniors, for we’ve a good “rep.” K is for “K Line,” a popular road. Where dates often go, of course, a la mode. L stands for Luebbcrs, with bright, shiny dome; He may have------, but if so s’ not known. M is for Minister, sedate and proper; Works clear through school, without even a copper.
