THEY are the undergraduates Of 1883,
The prettiest undergraduates
That ever you did see.
In Hebrew and in Calculus,
And in Hindostanee,
Their learning is quite fabulous,
As well as Botanee.
The verb abstruse, amo, amas,
In Latin and Chinee,
In every tongue each clever lass
Can conjugate freelee.
In Optics, they are learned as
A specialist M.D.;
In Painting, all this skilful class
Will take M.A. degree.
From every State in all the land,
From South Amerikee,
From Popocatapetl, and
From Moscow and Fijee,
These pretty modern Eves have come,
This Class of '83,
To pluck the golden apples from
The one forbidden tree.
