Excerpt from The Shame of the Colleges

I have investigated Harvard University. It took nearly three hours to do the job; but I do not begrudge the time, because the scan dal I unearthed is among the fifty or sixty Greatest Crimes of the Century. I am about to prove that, by educational collusion and brain-rebates, the institution at Cambridge has formed a monstrous monopoly which is to-day cornering and controlling one of the most useful products of our fruitful land. Harvard University - let her deny this if she can - is the amalgamated-gentleman Trust.

How am I going to prove this? I do not know at this moment - but let us see.

Excerpt from The Shame of the Colleges

To Leland Stanford Junior University

Whene'er I hear
The plash of beer
Midst Freshmen roaring like a crater
With wild huzzahs
And rah-rah-rahs,
I think of thee, dear Alma Mater,
Who by a tender ear oft yanked me
To Wisdom's altar - where you spanked me.

I loved to stray
From Learning's way
To fields where Youth his wild oats sprinkles.
I was the care
That turned your hair
From gold to gray and gave you wrinkles.
Firmly you seized your Little Nipper
And woke his conscience with a slipper.

But never mind,
My mother kind -
Frown not, nor plug your ears with cotton!
Was mischief stopped
When I was "dropped,"
When I was gone but not forgotten?
Smile, mother! let my sins be shriven.
I have Reformed - am I Forgiven?
