H flMea for an Exemption (Srabe

If students knew what teachers know Before examination, Their onward course would ne'er be slow To gain an education. On their own feet, they'd gladly walk To the happy consummation, And never fear the pony's balk On tough interrogation. If teachers knew how students do - Before examination, I do believe, 'tis very true, They'd make a regulation That eighty-five might let us through On daily recitation. That prospect now looks rather blue, We say with hesitation.

And you, professors, don't you see The alluring invitation. At each term's end, a rest there'll be From paper's strict gradation; And thus an onward step you'll take From great schools imitation, And all our work much easier make To our souls' great elation.

SHERMAN R. DUFFY.
