Hn Exbortation to the jfacultp. A95 I. Tm. v. i.- Rebuke not an elder, but entreat him as a father. Brethren, scorn not the opinion of the Senior, nor give ear unto the darkening counsel of the Junior, for with all thy get- ting, get understanding. Incline thy bicycle not into Wagons, for the prudent seeth the danger and turneth aside, but the foolish go on and are punished. Go not in the way of criclceters, for bodily exercise profit- eth little. Cease boasting to the students how thou didst study when thou Wert in college, for they are onto you, yea, even having been in college themselves. Hold not thy class after the bell hath sounded, so that the student thinketh in his heart, How long, O Prof., how long! Forget not that, the day numbereth but four and twenty ihours, nor that a merciful Prof. shall obtain mercy. Give heed unto thy chapel going lest the Freshman mistake thee for classmates when he meets thee in the hall. Let not the appearance of Wisdom depart from thy counte- nance, for upon this thou shalt build hopes of maintaining thy job. Esteem not lightly the words of the Associate Boss for he sitteth at the right hand of the Chancellor at Don's. Let not thy heart be troubled when a Senior laugheth not at thy joke, for with much care hath he searched out the antiquity thereof. Therefore, beloved brethren., continue steadfast in the Work of thy noble calling, and be thou Willing to rejoice with them Who depart from thee, for they shall see better days. s ii il?

Zibe 'woes of 1Regi9tration., 9 My dear classmates, are you mindful, How, four years ago this fall, We came rushing into Lincoln' To seek entrance to these halls? With our new high school diploma, Tightly rolled, we came forthwith To consult those royal people, James T. Lees and Ellen Smith. How we shivered, how we shuddered, Only those Who've been there know, As that sad decree was given, I'm afraid your grade's too low. How We urged, and how we pleaded, How We promised to be good, If We could but be admitted To the Uni. brotherhood. We were sent from desk to table, Roasted often, flattered none, But the Worst of all befell us VVhen Dales struck us for our mon. Then we dropped our Hve large dollars In that little old tin box, And bethought us, as we did so, Here goes part of father's crop. We've been Freshmen, Sophs, and juniors lt is now our Senior year, , And to leave this institution Wfill bring forth a salty tear QI! it Chas. Kuhlman is very sad: The L. S. C. is not so badg That social seminar is up to date- Canonical tests show it's no fake, But I guess it's 'cause I have no dust That l'm not even being rushed. x13x

where 1Rigbt makes fllbigbt. 3' There was a sound of revelry in the hallway, There was laughter, and din, andishouts, There was trarnping, and stamping, and pounding The juniors had been let out. VVithin the classic chamber The stately Seniors sat, In cap and gown, the victorfsfcrown, Discussing affairs of state. In rushed the barbarous multitude, With their uproar, and babble, -and din, O'er the grave and venerable Seniors A mighty victory to Win. They had some simple jingles, Some Mother Goose rhymes, it seemed, ln whose Weak and rambling verses Not a sign of wisdom gleamed. Uprose the mighty Seniors, Indignant, one and all, With majestic mien, and stately tread, They drove them into the hall. The Juniors cringed, the Juniors crouched, In terror they turned and Hedg And o'er the path they'd so vauntingly pressed, They left their ignoble dead. Oh, staid and stately Seniors, In cap and gown arrayed, Before thy awful majesty, The Juniors pale and fade. XISX
