AVERY DESCRIBES NEW BESSEY HALL Lament Alaa, it is a heavy task To be a daily paper poet; To grind out rhymes To match the times, To do bad work and know it; But Btill to have to hand it in Unfinished and unpolished, You think how happy you would bo If papers were demolished. But compensations are here, too, In this sad world of type and lead ers, If the poor poet's lot is hard, Just think of the poor readers! A Moral Tale (Continued from page 1) The building itself is to be of brick, hard burnt, of a reddish brown color, selected with a certain roughness and bloom on the surface. The mortar joints will be wide and raked. The trimming will be of Bedford stone. This material will also form the fac ing of the building as high as the base of the windows on the first floor. The building itself will be of the steel, wall-bearing type and will be thoroughly fireproof. In this type of structure, the masonry of the walls carries part. of the weight of the frame, while the frame itself sup ports the floors, partitions and roof. "In harmony with all the new build ings of the university, the building in kv f Mnnaio architecture. It WIH UD VI v, " will depend for its beauty on grace ful lines and symmetry, rather than on expensive ornamentation. In har mony with Dr. Bessey's character, we Bhall try to make the building just as permanent as the building skill of the times, through the use of brick, steel and concrete will permit. It ought to stand for BOO years at least. Fur ther, in keeping with Dr. Bessey's character, it will be attractive with out ostentation, built for permanence and usefulness rather than show. "Aside from the sentiment, con nected with its erection, it will be a building much needed by the univer sity. Botany and zoology have never had adequate quarters here. Tais will house them in a way worthy of a great university. While these depart ments will have considerably more space than they have at present, w are not building large enough to care for their growth for many years to come. When the number of students of botany becomes too large for the new quarters, we can build a separate building for zoology, leaving the en tire space of the Bessey building to botany."

Iu England long ago there dwelt An unassuming bird. He dressed in modest speckled browns, His song was gladly neard. A modest country lay it was, No thrills or ripples true But still quite cheerful and content As in the hedge he flew. III. He dwelt among the flowery leas, Beside the welling spring, The hawthorne hedges White with bloom. And all that sort of thing. IV. Alas! The germs of discontent Are rife in dale and down, The sparrow, tired of country place, Moved up to London town. V. Now, London is a mighty place, All full of noise and smoke. Friend Sparrow's voice began to change. He'd try to sing, and choke. VI. His habits changed, he learned to fight, To lie, and steal, and swear, UBed slang on Sunday morning, too, And gossiped everywhere. VII. But discontent's in London, too, Like any other state, The sparrow with ambitious dreams, Resolved to emigrate. VIII. He came to us across the seas, He often brags about it, He wasn't seasick not a day Though, privately- I jdoubt it. IX. Once in America he kept The ways he had begun; He squabbles in our city streets, He'll chatter, gossip, swear and pun X. He's proud of stealing, and he'll brag '' With endless zest and vim Of his self-made career, and show What town life did for him! XI. A knowing author man once said I think his name was Barrows, "There are two kinds of birds, you know. Real birds and English sparrows!"
