FORUM LITERARY SOCIETY. Adyos EPYOU o'KL5L. We have just made our debut and- are still flushed with the pride of it all. So for- give us any vain glory of which we may be guilty. We 're young and are apt to mistake hopes and ambitions for accomplished facts. But if because of youth we are awkward and pestiferous, for the same reason our blood is redder, our hearts are warmer. ' We come of good stock, too. Athens and Cicero are our parent societies, and bone of their bone, we lay claim to all the ancient dignity that rests in their names. But our main charm is our bull dog pluck and impudence, our airy arrogance. We are aristocrats with all the vitality of the plebeian. We 'll gang our own gait and fast or slow you can't change it. Don't misunderstand meg we are not ill blred, simply independent. We ,re a society of gentlemen-gentlemen, mind you, and it 's commonly understood we are death on the ladies. Strange inference! Nothing could be farther from the truth. Our motto we have borrowed from Mulvaney: Hit a man an' help a woman an' ye can't be far wrong anyways. V So it is: Forum, fastidiousg Forum, to girls a buss, Forum, don't give a cuss: Forum, on top! 166-

And now I am the gayest girl that every struck the towng It takes a mighty cantankerous Prof to dare call me clown. And I comb my hair each day or I never comb it at all, just as it suits my fancy, for I 'm a girl of Marshall I-Iall. Oh, I'm the pet of the matron and a model for all the rest. She points to me with ecstacy and bids them do their bestg To follow where I lead if they ever want to be A second Mrs. Chadwick in the pen-i-ten-tia-ree. C. MCC., '04
