Q Mullah on the faculty Would you like a short vacation From the cares of mundane things? Would you like to listen, spell- bound, While you watch a man draw rings ? Then just take this invitation That you turn your steps our way, And direct them to the Law School, - And get ready for the play. First of all, We have a teacher Who is not unknown to fame, Who's a friend of Teddy Roose- velt's- Doctor Lewis is his name. You must pay most strict atten- tion To the things he has to say, Or you WO11,t know how to an- swer What he wants, in just his way. For he'll tell you of his Dexter, He's a most amazing horse, Who is sometimes worth a for- tune From his speed upon the course. And perhaps he'll mention Beppo, VVho's the best known of his dogs g Or mayhap he'll speak of An- tome, And his multi-colored hogs. For he has a large assortment- A menagerie, in fact- And he is not loath to use them When he hasn't got an Act, Which he hopes the next As- sembly ' Will adopt and make the law: just at present We've been strug- gling With the worst you ever saw. Introduce now, his Aunt Betsy, She's his wealthy, good, old auntg Ev'ry week or so she leaves him Rich as Croesusg but he can't Like a spendthrift use the money, For it is a sacred trust, For Clarissa, his pet mammal- When he knew it, how he cussed. Elephants, you know, are healthy And as long lived as can be, So you really cannot blame him, For you'd do the same- Di you see ? But his little hour is finished: Visitor, you now must move To the courts of Billey Mikell- At an argument he's smooth, And as soft and gently spoken As all men that you e'er saw, 'Till he hears it said that each man Is presumed to know the law. For the Dean will surely catch you If you try to work the bluff

That you have the case all ready, And you soon will cry, Enough If you want some real good pointers How to make a coffin-nail, See the Dean-he rolls 'em quickly, And has ne'er been known to fail. Then we have for your inspec- tion, Francis Bohlen, dubbed Me Lordnz Has a wondrous flow of lan- guage- Runs the Compensation Board. He can talk more loud and clearly ' Than the best prof in the land, And can use such faultless Eng- lish That some fail to understand. But for him you have to hurryg If you chance to come in late, Well, the wiser course is not to: In the hall you'd better wait. For at repartee he's skillful, And he sure can bawl you out, And as you can make no answer The result is not in doubt. just the opposite is Amram: His reproof is soft, yet keen, And the laugh is on the tardy- For our mirth we never screen. Even tho' as skillful lawyers We appear at Practice Court, We are ready with our laughter VVhen some classmate gives us sport. But perhaps you're in some trouble, Want a case you cannot find: Billy Loyd is always ready With advice both sound and kind. l And you never need to falter In the fear that you will bore, For his office is an instance , Of the always Open Doorf' There is also Mr. Keedv. He's the God of Bills and Notesg As a subject for Cremation I-Ie'd have scored a lot of votes. But at last we know him better Since our banquet Qwhich we boastj, When he answered to The Ladies With a most inspiring toast. And the mention of the Ban- quet, Owen Roberts brings to mind, How he bossed the whole as- semblage . With a wit, now sharp, now kind. We will ne'er forget his watch- word, CI-low it echoes and it ringsj. Will you PLEASE have much LESS order? Robert Owens, next will sing. And those long two hours on Thursdays, VVhen we learned of gifts and wills, Towards the ending of the ses- sion :Twas like taking bitter pills.
