Hail to thee, our Alma Mater . . . and to you, her leading men . . . our trustees, benevolent leaders of our footsteps, shapers of our destinies . . . holders of the rusted purse strings .... holding board meetings, to build, to tear down, to hire, fire and gripe . . shiny cars dot- ting the drive like new buttons on a vest . . factions rise and fall behind locked doors .... appropriations made, budgets pared to a rind by the powers-that-be . . meeting adjourned .... hail to thee, worthy quintet. And our profs .... chancellors of the exchequer of knowledge .... new faces every year . . are you Doctor, or just professor? . . . classes more or less boring, but never ending . . . cuts prohibited, rain or shine, life or death . . . dean-calls .... assignments heaped ever higher, climaxed by inevitable examinations . . . grades a pattern in black and red .... props, advice and counsel . . . conferences evolving into acquaintances, mutual un- derstandings, friendships . . . good guy, that prof. . . Hail also to thee, august body.
