FRESHMEN AT THE ULD NEBRASKA LAW SCHOOL 'Wfill you listen, gentle reader, Wfill you listen while I tell you Of a noble class of students, Great in numbers as in knowledge? I will tell you of the freshmen, Ah! the freshmen of the Law School, I will tell how they gathered To the old Nebraska Law School. In their homes, some great, some lowly, Lived these noble-minded fellows, Many living close together, Many living .far off yonder In the distant states and counties, Knowing not of one another, Knowing not they soon would gather To the old Nebraska Law School. Yet these men were not contented, ln their hearts was oft a craving, Often longed they for more knowledge Of the laws that govern people, To know more of the tribunal Wfhere administered is justice. So they decided that they'd come here To the old Nebraska Law School. They at nrst were disconcerted W'hen they came to these surroundings, For the scenes were strange unto them And the faces unfamiliar. But they soon made friends among these W'ho helped them out in many troubles VVith the grievous registration At the old Nebraska Law School. But they soon became accustomed To their studies, to their law books, And they studied hard, these freshmen, Studied hard they and enjoyed it, For they felt a satisfaction Of their great desire for knowledge, Ah! how lucky that they'd come here To the old Nebraska Law School. 71
