THE A. AND M. C.
The A. and M. C. is a very good school
For a pretty good fellow who’s not a fool;
A fellow, however, who is minus some brain
Had better stay home and try it again.
For when you come to this college of ours,
You’re expected to learn at all sorts of hours,
So there’s little use for a fellow at all,
Who thinks of nothing but fun and base ball.
There’s Scrip, and Solid and all such stuff,
Chem. for me is trouble enough,
For when you’ve three like these in line,
O, Lordy, boy, ’tis a woeful combine!
Fourth class is not so dismally steep,
Third’s no snap, for the water is deep,
And trouble will meet you in Second, sir—
You’ll need for First both whip and spur.
So, young ones, don’t you hurry to fast
Your lot with the A. and M. C. to cast,
For it’s not such a snap, I tell you, sirree,
As it was to learn your A. B. C. —“Fish.”

many of the new members are
taking active part in the pro-
