When life's last thesis is written,
And learning is tucked in his bed;
When all of the book worms have bitten
Their last of what sages have said;
When Widener's completely forsaken,
Except for the man who checks coats;

Waffles by another name,
Look at Agnes, do! Exclaim,
That Diana's put to shame!
REFRAIN
At the good old, grand old Splendid,
Where we watch them with their swains
At the good old grand old Splendid,
Watch our vest for coffee stains etc.
It seems there was once a person who though that football was not a disease, except of sport writers, who thought that "bridge" was over emphasized as well as education, who believed that the Harvard of today is a fairly decent place despite the Liberal Club, the Lampoon, the final clubs, two or three others and the fact that Coolidge is still living away from home, who had a vague idea Boston was more a state of the mind than the mind of a state, who, in spite of his being averse to the traffic on Harvard Square met it half way....
