"What we say and do
Is eloquent is well
But 'tis not true."
IF
CHRIST CAME TO THE UNI.
(Salvation Monopolized.)
Would not the lowly Savior
Have to get things right down pat
To find the traces ofliia life
In a Y. W. frat?
The "Preacher's Frat" must yield the palm
And raise its now tile hat,
The while salvation's meted out
Through our Y. W. Frat.
Oh, Lowly One, who came to earth
Its sorrows, pains and griefs to bear,
Thou who to brotherlwod, gave birlh
Hast Thou their charter there-?
No? Never knew them? Oh my soul!
Canst bear such agony as that?
Oil, "preacliers" please evangelize
Our new Y. W. Frat!

Exhumed from Silurian sand!
But they thought it surely would work

It wound up woll by hand(y
They tried to start it, but too soon found
It hadn't a spring by which to bo wound.

EIN ANTE-EXAM LAMENT.
Die nacht 1st dunkol als dor grave,
Aber nit! Nicht halb so still,
Across der hall dio fiddlers brave,
Der air mit larmen fill.
Along der fence die katzon run,
ITnd singon rait voll might,
In spite of all this herrlich fun,
I've got dor blues tonight.
For Herr Professor sagto mir,
Das ausdera kinase I'd flunk,
If an dora sprichen worter schwier,

THE "PREACHER FRAT" DEDICATORY.
Have you heard of the preacher frats?,.
But I told you a year ago
When tho boys, good faith, through tlieif
preacher hats
With a card denied 'twas so.
That the embryo of this special Type
May bo known by its clanish bearing
Ere it sports the punch bowl and the pipe
Or its elements take to swearing.
The ship is launched and tho world wide
song
Gives way to a Grecian Steven
And the world's great Christian brotherhood
Embraces but eleven.
The souls aboard are a blooded set
A shoice and chosen few;

Polluted by mo or you. 50'
They are mostly fellows whose sterliuf J'$!

Would baffle my pen to tell
But some there are in their inner life
Whose thoughts take hold oh wU.
There are Jonahs enough on the jaWWiy i-'

So I'll cast my lot with the common hrde
And perish outside the ark. ;-
But here's to the preacher frat,
A health to tho chosen band,
May they be fenced off from tho vulgar crowd
Somewhere on the golden strand. ' :'
A little over a year ago, the Hesperian in
formed its readers that a fraternity chapter
was to 1)0 organized by certain members of the
Y. at. C. A. Su iaueli iu opposition are these
two organizations that it stirred up consider
able comment and was denied in the next
issue by four of the men named,
But tho predictions of the Hksxkuian have
come true and the "preacher" frat is a reality.
What a queer sort of thing it must be! We
wonder if they make a liberal use of th
"goat" in welcoming now saeaabers. 'W.
