He may his meal check on the term bill place;

But when in funds one does not see him race

Towards that antiquated bill of fare

To feed on viands each and all declare

A self-respecting crow would thrust-aside

As insults to his culinary pride.

Two thousand members, lured into its halls

By monthly lectures of reputed men,

Seek disappointedly their rooms again

When they have spent one day within its walls.

Had Lincoln visited this godless spot,

Would he have saved the Union?--he would not!

As far as could be ascertained, the little book of sonnets has caused little excitement among the professors who are attacked therein, or among undergraduates. Books of this sort, satirising Harvard and Harvard professors, have appeared almost every year for several generations, and a good sized library could be collected from those among them which have been published during the past 50 years. Among the more famous on the list are "The New Swiss Family Robinson," published 50 years ago by owen Wister '82, and "Alice's Adventures in Cambridge," by Richard C. Evarts '13: The most recent book of this sort was "Little Codfish Cabot,"which was published last year by two members of the class of 1923.
