Rare Poem of 1718 by Unknown Author Describes Revels of Old-Time Seniors at Commencement

Authorities Fail to Restrain Visitors--Pie, Plum-Cake, Punch Denied Students

The raging Tribe their lawless Games repeat,

Nor can three Days their Bacchanals compleat.

To close recess the Sons of Vice retire,

And cool their raging Thirst, or quench their wanton Fire.

Thus the loose Croud forbidden Pleasures seek.
