THE RISE AND FALL OF THE "SKOIT.
 
FACT AND FANCY
FANCY!
 
A dapper Frosh--he is a Senior now
Lay wrapped in sleep, a smile upon his brow.
   And in his sleep a splendid dream he dreamed,
    'Twas college life-how fair it seemed.
Phi Betta Kappa key was now his own;
All others in his class he had outshone.
    In stiffest courses he had e'er excelled
    And by the Profs in great esteem was held.
His voice in great debates had oft been heard,
Large crowds had by his eloquence been stirred;
    In amateur dramatics he had starred
    From no activity had he been barred.
The brothers in his frat for him foretold
A future rich in influence and gold.
 
FACT!
 
This dream was dreamed-four years have passed away
And it did not come true, 'tis sad to say!
    The HUMBLE Frosh, to whom he'd been a snob,
    Now wears Phi Beta's key upon his fob.
In many classes he had failed to glow;
In others had been absolutely slow.
    The Profs indeed have shown him some esteem,
    But not as he had dreamed it in his dream.
Debating, high school style, has failed to win,
The Kosmet Klub has given him no pin.
    His chief activity has been to bluff,
    To graduate he has just hours enough.
His future may bring happiness and health,
It doesn't promise influence and wealth.
