TIIE HESPERIAN
The following poem was taken from the Chan
cellor's bulletin board in University Hall. It did
not bear the authorative stamp "Approved," so
we cannot vouch for its authenticity.
The Commandant
May ravo and rant,
And utter military cant,
And say you shall and say you slum,
And sing his military song
In accents loud and harsh and long,
Unto a servile gaping throng
Who to the butcher's gang belong.
An those who love the art of war,
And peace and quiet quite abhor,
Will shout amen and fall in line
And on their brother's carcass dine.
But those who love the ait of peace,
And wish for wars and crimes to cease,
Can ill afford to spend their days.
In such uncouth, barbaric plays.
Why should the money wrung from toil
Upon our rich Nebraska soil,
Be spent for canon shot and shell
To teach mankind the arts of Hell?
What enemy is lurking near
To put our homes and friends in fear,
That raises such a high demand
To join a military band?
No enemy is on our shores,
The eagle high in Heaven soars,
Our banner ripples in the breeze.
The world turns on its axletrees
Should war, with devastating hand,
Again sweep o'er our happy land,
The farm and shop would find the men
To put rebellion down again. Anon.
