Some of us . . .
Can not approve
Of the advantages
Certain persons take.
We wonder . . .
If a public
i'rinted page
Is the proper place
For love to be made.
Perhaps so—but
What do we think
Of the preacher
Who uses the pulpit
To propagate
His politics?
Why did the public
Raise a big row
When Jim Ferguson
Used State money
For a private investment?
So-—"you person
Who cali yourself Fan,"
Don't overstep
The rights of your class.

Rt'Hections.
A frightful state,
There is no help,
I am afraid . . .
The <(&nbeam may vanish
Uefore I can clutch it.
Or the star may be bright
Hven when I can touch it.
Hut be a bright phantom.
To strive . . .
To win . . .
To overcome . . .
For what . . .
To go on striving?
A mocking bird calls.
The wind blows the grass.
Spring flowers perfume the air.
It is joy to live.

Everybody is talking about
"Cloister courses,"
But nobody seems to
Remember the Owl, Every
Day, right after dinner, a
Whole gang of fellows beat it
Over to the Owl, and
Talk to the girls, and feed
Them ice cream, 'n everything.
And after they all have
Eaten all the Hersheys and
Cakes they want, they
All go to lab together.
Cloister eourses are Hne, but
Oh, you Owl!
I thank you.
"Birdie."
Vers Libre.
I have had years of joy.
I plucked fruit
In fragrant orchards.
Swam In clearest waters.
Summered at finest resorts.
Yachted on the seas.
Winged among the clouds.
Heard singers—pianists,
Orchestras and actors.
Dined with the nobility.
Yea—and even kissed!
But I have yet to sense
More real delight,
Lingering satisfaction
Or sweeter feeling than
On a winter's morning
To awake at the dull
Patter of rain drops,
And luxuriantly drawing
The cover over your
Cool personage
Find you still have
Another hour and a half
TO SLEEP.
Getting Into That New
Spring Suit
!s hut a slight matter of com-
ing here and making a selec-
tion from a very complete
line of
Kuppenheimer Clothes
Many new ideas are in evi-
dence, which are especially
interesting to good dressers.
Yes, these new Spring lines
are shown in wide assort-
ments of patterns and the new
shades.

A Fellow Passenger.
(From The Westminster Gazette.)
You took a spreading velvet gown
And silk and fur of sable hue.
And hid in dark deep tunnelled down
The little ratlike soul of you.
A curious show of curiing lace
And dangling chain and brooch you
brought
To deck above the secret place,
And poured rich scent to snare the
thought,
That none should go to delve about
Its dwelling—but I saw it rise
And glint and cower and peer from out
The round black holes that are your
eyes.
—Ruth Manning-Sanders.

If ever another flood should come,
Right to this book I'd fly,
'Cause no jnatter how wet it is
O(t)helHo) would still be dry.
His Mea of It.
Prof. Middleton (in Client. 100 Quiz):
"Meyer, give three compounds of sul-
phur and oxygen."
Jack: "S02, S03 and SOL."
Heard In English 300.
Prof. White: "The fact that Desde-
monia allowed ail the men to kiss her
should not lower your respect for her,
because in Shakespeare's time it was
customary for men to kiss women much
more than It is now."
Voice from back of room: "You
ain't been out much yet, Doctor, have
you?"
The Fool.
They warned me
But I took no heed.
I tried to understand—
The midnight oil was wasted
Pouring over those notes,
Trying to see the reason.
I got the point—or . . ,
Found there was no point . .
All—all—in vain,
I flunked most gloriously.
I wonder . . .
Next time . . .
Will I waste my effort
On understanding—
Or get busy . . .
And learn . . .
To reproduce the dope?
Hootu for Research.
A lot of latent energy
Has been accumulated
In preparing
For exams.
Just what becomes
Of all this energy?
The examination papers
Do not seem
To account for much.
We have noticed,
However—
That the weather
Is warmer . , .
And the trees
Are budding.
Perhaps energy
May be transformed
In ways
Unknown to us.
