Chewing the Rag. " " " nor make "haze" Maryland College, Freshman' fag," the Where many pilgrims go, to seek the fount of knowledge, There was a learned ., Prof." who loved to chew ttie rag. He'd walk along the street erect as any statue, His movements (nil of art, his step with grace imbued, He never deigned to bout, save when he glared straight at you, His habits though were fair, but, alas! the rag he chewed. All governments he knew, from England to Norway; He taught the Bundesrath, the Reichsrat.h aud Rik sdag, He knew all laws and constttutlous of his day; He knew the Council Chnmbtrs, but yet he chewed the rag. All history he knew, 'twas revealed like a book, Causes of ancient wars and quarrels oft renewed, To solve the tedious problems, no end of pains he took; Rut worst of all his vices, still the rag he chewed. -+ 177 +-
