Academic idea of a "Bum Room."
About the Mushroom let us sing.
Like the reformer quaint.
It's great when it's the Real Thing,
And awful when it ain't.
Slack!
If you should happen to fix your eye
On a certain gentleman walking bv'
Of "lordlj^ demeanor" and serious tone,
A "track team" mixture of skin and bone—
That's Slack!
If you should, sharplj', in Convocation,
'Varsity Club or Director's Collation,
Start at a voice of stern reprobation,
"Protesting," at least foretelling damnation:
That's Slack!
If you should accidentally chance,
To ever attend a 'Varsity dance.
In the midst of the whirl, with a "debutante" girl.
You'll generallj' find our friend
Slack!
