Che Eoctofs 'Life The doctor has a busy life, If he would gain some fame: From morn till eve he toils each day To try to earn a name. Quite often, too, he runs great risk XYhen pestilence stalks around, And Death meets him on every sideg liut at his post he's found, For Duty is his watchword e'er, He must its calls obey, And hasten to each suffering one His anguish to allay. Sublime and great his mission: The relief of human woes. If always he his duty does, He's blessed where'er he goes His information should be broad, His lcnowledge most profoundg His Culture should be very high, His tactics shrewd and sound. A love for his profession should Preyail within his miudg For it he lack this quality He's sure to lag behind. And in the race for prominence He'll be far in the rear, While he whose soul is in hisgworlq XYill at the goal be near. 190

I. II, iLife at 1Ru5lJ As Freshmen first we came to Rush. Our heads were swelled, our pockets Flush, But when we're there a year or more, XVe lose conceit and dimes galore. lVe learn quite soon we have to work, And never ought our duty shirk, For if we do, we know full well Iixam. or Quiz will surely tell. The D. I. green, with open mouth, And eyes focused to spear, Attends the minor clinics all To gaze and peek and peer. IV. And if perchance he gets a sit, Ur towels he may hold, Then all important he becomes As Vanderbilt or Gould. V. The Sophomores, a jovial class, VII VIII. Are now well organizedg So when they meet a D. mob. The latter are capsized. VI. The Seniors, grave in port and mien Have learned to lool: wisef' Exemplary now they have become, They foolish things despise. Hurrah for Rush, the college so grand, XVhose fame extends throughout the land: To her teachers all we're loyal and true, For her we'll speak all our lives through. For she's our Alma Mater dear, Her precepts all we do revere: Her teachers all have sages been Since first her history did begin. Nano. 189

1Reminiscences from a ED. Ks Gareer. CHON drei nionat he's been freshman Alle while so schwere studiert, Yeden Suntag, gets a jag on Every quiz-room schemer probiert. Lieber vater, schick me money Verm du willst, one hundred more, Ach, mein Gott l l ! Fier hundert dollar? Xie gehert like dass before. In der class he says, Ich weis nicht, Mit ein gentle sheep-like look. Alle recht, der Prof. makes autwort, Schreibt ein goose egg in his book. Nimt sein paper von Herr Dodson, XYird ihn helfen if he can, Auf sein ivaugen-consternation, Let him take some other man. Look not over, sagt der Kaufman, Auf die bletter of your freund, If its wrong du hast verloren, Dumme asel-see the point? Yeder must on foot hintreten Yon examination siille, Hast dem pazgf eingeritten, He 's confiscated, dass ist all. Aber still, to be a D. UI., Dass thut mann sein kopf inflate, Ins kann sein ein wise decision, XVenn Ich bleib mit ninety-eight. Elm Elppeal for GZo:1Ebucation The old I-len lNIeds., a forlorn crexv, With faces long and prospects blue, In vain have tried the boys to dupe, Till now their lips begin to droop. In vain they drill o'er bones and drugs, In place of sewing home-made rugs: In vain they hoard up treasures and pelf, Despite all this they 're left on the shclf. Fair, beauteous forms they once possessed, But as these fade they're not caressed. XVhy not then have co-education, Since early marriage is theirsalvation? IQI
