ffhe S'C6,1'lCb'Rd1J s A A MIDNIGHT SONG I heard a song at midnight- Heard its chilling echoes ring, In a shrieking chant of horror, Such as nendish devils sing. All was blackness in my chamber, Save a single softened glow, And I closely sat beside it, Having fear to let it go. So I listened there, near stricken, To the Plutian strains of hell, That kept sounding on my ear-drur W01'se that hunzan words can tell. ns, Oh, what ghastly song at midnight- Wozzld I ever cease to hear, All the nerve destroying hedlam, That was thrown upon my ear. I could stand the shrielzs no longer, So I turned them of with care, For you can't hear whiskey tenors, When there's static in the air! R. W. R. '28. TO A MUSE Oh, weather heaten muse, I call thee hence! How oft' the drowsing hards have used thee, Until thou hanglst in threads upon the fence, Of timeg no more shall they abuse thee. I call thee hence, oh muse, to rest in peace, Thou martyr to the versed cause of men, Who took advantage of your transient ease, To hlot the splurges of each guidless pen. How oft' from Camhriifs shore, some ruthless h Has called on thee to grace his idle verse, Which brings to thee a shackle, cold and hard, To hind thy name to such a wanton curse. Hold thou remembrance of the fairer day, When muses served to urge the ancient rhyme? For if thou could, the shine of rare decay, Might e'en eclipse the verse of modern time. Poor Muse, hut thou art gone, thy gilded road, Let not the pangs of poesy bore thee- The Strophe, Antistrophe and Epode- A-uant! And let the gods alone adore thee. R. W. R. '28, III' 59331301

P. would attain the goal, the following is the correct procedure: Always remember that first impressions are the most lasting, and concen- trate on winning over each professor the first day in the class room. The same method can be used on each instructor until you are on the most intimate terms with each faculty member. First wait until ten or Hfteen minutes after the second bell and then burst into the class room, making as much noise as possible. It would be advisable to employ the aid of a large cow bell to make sure of attracting the attention of the professor. Assuming a nonchalant air of give and take, step up and slap the professor smartly on the back, and ejaculate a hearty, Howdy, Pro- fessorf, He will at once see that you are not one of the ordinary run of stu- dents and your first point is won. He will then say, I.ate! You say, So am I, and if he kicks you Hrmly through the doorway, simply assume a well bred attitude of tolerance and re-enter, taking a seat in the back of the room. All che rear seats will, without a doubt, be taken, but stamp on the feet of the man in the nearest seat, and when he gets up, sit down. From here on your main idea is to keep the professor's attention focussed on you. This can be done in several ways, such as a continual, brisk tapping of the feet, rolling dice with your nearest neighbor, or whistling an air. How- ever, do not let success turn your head, but be sure an impression remains with the professor when you leave. This can be accomplished by throwing a book at him, or gracefully dropping che waste basket over his head as you pass out. You may think that your goal is attained, but it is best to clinch the issue by calling on the professor's wife and presenting her with a potted dandelion. If she takes it with her left hand it means the professor is out every Tuesday night. If with the right, it means, I may look old but I have young ideas, but if she takes the potted dandelion with both hands and brings it down firmly on your head, it is best to make a dignified retreat and call at a more propitious time.
