THE BATTALION
] 1
But they themselves are injured most
Not oft the guilty see.
Much to be pitted young man who takes
Dishonestly his high degree,
Then thrown among expecting friends
A living lie to be.
‘‘Ponies” may glide us oe’r college paths
Lightly with ease and grace,
But on the rougher roads of life
They always break their pace.
When college you leave to try the world,
Full in the road’s a booger-bear ;
Down in the dust without a hope,
Your pony throws you there.
Fall in, fall in, blows the bugle go ;
Captain conscience shall command ;
He never gives “to the rear march,”
But “forward every man.”
No rear rank in our class shall be,
But ’neath true honor’s flowered arch
With steady step, erect, abreast,
Forward, guide “right,” we’ll march.

benefits to be derived are numerous. It is therefore to be
hoped that the petition will be looked on with favor.
