Excerpt from The Ways of Yale in the Consulship of Plancus

Consule Planco.

In Plancus' days, when life was slow,
We dwelt within the Old Brick Row
Before Durfee or Welch was built,
Or gilded youths in Vanderbilt
Looked down upon the mob below.
Then Freshmen did not use to go
'Most every evening to the show;
Quite inexpensive was our gilt
In Plancus' days.
We had no football then, you know:
All bloodless lay the untrodden snow,
No gore was shed, no ink was spilt,
No poet got upon his stilt
To write these frenchified rondeaux,
In Plancus' days.
