Hear us through ; Convinced you'll deem the picture true. Withal 'tis gay,— As you are gray, and fun eschew ;— The knowledge is not lesser. Aid us—Oh now prolific Muse, To our poor pen put nib poetic. That College Life we may depict. In humorous light and epithetic ? Behold tb’juvenil’ academician, Pursuing lingual 'laboration, Sire lauds the “boy's” determination— Ilis 44 Ma” exhibits agitation— He's hugged and wept by each relation— Bussed and rebussed—Bid shun temptation, Till from coach, boat, or railroad station, He starts to finish education ; (Equipped with introduct’ry letter To Prexy Drill or Proff. Belle Lettref) Arrives at College ;—meets polite Young men, acquaintance at first sight.

Baton Rouge, I Prssp fearful tomes, with signs and sums That Proffs propound To those whose brains Are racked with pains The answers to expound. Examination having passed, A Freshman “green” you see. Erudite in Greek alphabet And double rule of three.” Now too commences party strife ; With 'lectioneering due. He's walked and chalked in “weaving way,' And regularly “put through.” Tho’ at such game by no means bandy. We'll give a modus operandi. Enter Snooks, with brother, Hunkins, And Freshman green, as usual, “punkins. “ Good day, dear Bill! to introduce “ Allow me—Mr. Griglet Goose— “ A friend of mine once saw his mother, “ And I myself have met his brother,” (Or something quite as ftppropo. Makes M friends” of all for Fresh homo. By joke and laugh the ice once broke. All hands sit down and take a smoke ; With patient politic propriety, Is introduced “ Societt ” (?) While (keen as cats at catching mice) The time is watched to give advice. Fellows “ drop in” to “ get a drink,” Or “ borrow paper,” “ pen,” or “ ink,” Or “ see what time it is Ruses and dire necessities Brought into practice As electioneering tactics. But 'twould far worse than folly be. Mentioning each trick, and scrape, and plea. All parties use to “nail” a fellow : Suffice, Goose gets ripe and mellow. Impartially determining in mind, The “ best Society” to “ jink.” The goat is mounted, climbed the pole — Particular friends now grow ice-cold, I Fresh'self's a wonder, nine days old; In market Freshman's stock declined, I To social station left resigned. And now commences duty’s round, A round of being bored, Devoted Freshman ! in reserve For thee, all pranks are stored! At midnight, as the Freshman snores. Behold a squad of skillful bores. With bit and wrench, and boding squirt. Approach his room, With pail and squib, and rope to girt. And filial Jiie . W A fizz ! ca-pop !! Freshman wakes, Involved in nauseous stench— Exclaims in vain “ for pity's sakes,” And bars the door with bed and bench, •While grunts and groans and puffs prodigious In anything but mood religious. Fill all the air with music rude— The while saltation fs wilder brewed; Folly to chase vile squibs around, In murky dozens they abound, (Nor less the number or the din) Ere one is out two more are in ; Squirming 'twixt toe and scorching linen. While scores of outside rascals grinning, With quips and pun and ribald noise, Shout quizzically “ let's run him boys!” Bolrvid, Denuded Freshman, wild with wrath; Two stalwart Juniors grasp him tight, Facilitating Freshman’s flight. Away all go ! Tom, Dick, and Harry— (In no sweet transformation fairy,) Vainly meanwhile fagged Freshman begs Real for his singed and weary legs. Alack the day, fur sake of knowledge, He ever thought of entering College, Better his birth he'd ne’er survived, When such Olympic games revived, Demand length, breadth, and strength of muscle, Surpassing acrobatic tussle. Cheer up pDor “ Fresh !” once safe in rooro. Thy buoyant spirits thou'U resume, Tho soothing symp'thy stand not by To dry the tear or stay the sigh, Still all this causeless persecution But just begins the revolution Of care and strife, and toil and trouble, That coming years will but redouble ; Clouds oft may gather o’er thy path, Tempting thy fullest, firmest faith ; Those clouds betimes must disappear— The gloom will disappear— And future gladness throw kind light, Thy path of life to cheer. In modo sic the “ Freshman spends His sessions three ; And, all sides, jnental view extends, Like “green bay tree;” At end of Freshman year, Ent’ring bran new sphere, He’s metamorphosed to a “bore — A self-conceited Sophomore— Mischievous, verbo-plenous, “sassy,” Simp’ring, smooth-faced, sly and 44 brassy
