Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Fortnightly Philistine, Vol. 7: Friday, Oct; 26, 1900 There has been so much gaiety during these opening weeks that we have hardly found time to see our friends, complain of the weather, or realize the changes that have taken place on and about the campus. Exciting events are the order of the day; a festive atmosphere, reminding one oddly of the vanished May Fete hangs over the college. We no longer give mere teas - we have carnivals; there is no necessity for the athlete to keep herself alive on thoughts of spring and the match games; we plunge into intercollegiate basket-ball. A spirit of adventure seems to be urging us on, - who can tell where it may lead us? We become breathless as we reflect on possible future achievements. Without realizing the various changes that have come about, the entering class finds itself a part of a lively and very progressive institution. From observation and hearsay we conclude that there is no lack of life and earnestness in 1904, and that the spirit of Bryn Mawr College will gradually - perhaps immediately - inhabit these new votaries, and make them most worthy daughters of the Alma Mater that we all love. It is without remark that the Philistine publishes the following lines. With them was sent a note of explanation, to the effect that the term "Entering Freshman" is generic, and applies, in this case, to any member of any class entering any college: An Entering Freshman Speaks. (After O. W. Holmes.) A quiet den is all I need, A single suite, - in Pembroke Hall; With sunlight (one must see to read), And gaslight; that is all. A good-sized closet, with a lock; Perhaps a view of Taylor clock. I shun loud Popularity, But hope for friends in every class; And on my strolls should like to be Observed of those I pass. I would not keep to any "set." But welcome be to all I met. Collegiate fame I do not prize; (Some offices can hardly pay;) I´m always ready to advise, And show my class the way. No S. G. A., or P. U. G.; "Class President" will do for me. I´d like my standing to be fair, But still I will not strive for marks. I´ll work, yet leave some time to spare For mild collegiate larks. I hope I need not grind or cram, To pass a pretty fair exam. I don´t expect society, (I´ve had so much, I do not mind;) About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
