gf I f CLASSES QJS9 THE 231-d PSALM TO AN ENGINEERIS SWEETHEART Verily I say unto you, marry not an engineer, For an engineer is a strange being, and is possessed of many devils. Yea, he speaketh eternally in parables, which he callcth formulas, wieldeth a big stick which he calleth a slide ruleg hath only one Bible, a handbook. I-feigthinketh only of stresses and strains and without end of thermodynamics. He showeth always a serious aspect, and seemeth not to know how to smile, And he picketh his seat in thc car by the springs, and not by the damsel therein. Neither does he know a waterfall except by its horsepower, 1 And a sunset except that he must turn on the lights, Nor a damsel except by her live weight. ' Always he carries his books with him and entertaineth his sweetheart with steam tables. Verily though his damsel expecteth chocolates when he calleth, She openeth the package but to disclose samples of iron oreg Yea, he holdeth l1is damscl's hand but to measure the friction, And he .kisses her but to test the viscosity, For in his eyes 'there shincth a far away look, that isneither love nor longing- Rather a vain attempt to recall a formula. There is but one key to his heart, and that is Tau Beta Pig And one love letter for which he yearneth, and that is an UE . lVhen his damsel writeth of love and signeth with crosses, ' He takes not these symbols for kisses, but rather for unknown quantities. Even as a boy he pulleth a girl's hair but to test its elasticity. But as a man he hath discovered different devices: For he counteth the vibrations of her heart strings, And he seeketh ever to pursue his scientific investigationsg Even his heart flutterings he counteth as a vision of beauty, And describeth l1is passion as a formula. And his marriage is a simultaneous equation Involving two unknowns and yielding diverse results, AMEN! III Iiiv I IIIII I I 5,g,I,gMI wma UM ..... 52- ....... ..,...,........,.......,.... .. .... .
