HUPD Chief Says Harvard Yard Encampment is Peaceful, Defends Students’ Right to Protest
THERE was a time when I was gay,
Nor shuddered at the thought of fun,
But made, as much as twice a day, A pun.
And loved the dance, and learned to wield
The taper cue with steady nerve,
Or practised upon Holmes his field The curve.
And rode a bicycle or shell,
No matter which, with equal skill,
And painted, not exactly well Nor ill.
But now, alas! with furrowed brow,
I study in my dismal den,
Nor brush my tumbled hair, save now And then.
With Spanish I and Moral Phil.
I cram by day my aching head, -
At night devour J. S. Mill Instead.
But hark! (O agony intense!)
"Come out, you dried old sybarite,
Do come, old man; the Globe 's immense To-night."
A sigh, a rising tear, - that's all, -
A voice as gentle as a lamb's, -
"Can't, - thanks, my semi-annual Exams."
