Honour Where Due.

"He bought white ties, and he bought dress suits,
He crammed his feet into bright tight boots."

A capping ceremonee
Was held at College Green,
And such a show of gowns and mortars
Ne'er before was seen;
With B.As., M.As... LL. Bs.,
And Doctors fine and tall,
But Bobby Stout the Chancellor
Cut the biggest swell of all.

It was talky, talky talky, talky, flap your wings and crow,
For Bobbie talk'd the longest at the College capping show.
Talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk.
Talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, Bob's — the boy — to talk!

"A fight's a kind of thing That I love to look upon." —Princess Ida.

A tournament at Easter
Was held at Christchurch O!
And such a team of swots and athletes
Ne'er before did go
With jumpers, runners, tennisites,
Debaters of renown;
But the youngest Coll., Victoria
Duly took the others down.

It was vict'ry, vict'ry, vict'ry, vict'ry. when Fitz took the floor,
While Whiskey Beere and the ladies won the tennis champ once more.
Vic, Vic, Vic, Vic, Vic, Vic, Vic, Vic, Vic, Vic, Vic, Vic., Vic.,
Vic., Vic., Vic., Vic, Vic, Vic, Vic, Vic, We're — the boys — to win!

Our Rugby Union football club
Is out some scalps to get,
And such a set of backs and forwards
Ne'er before was met;
With hookers, tacklers, running men,
And line-outs fine and tall.
But lengthy Froggy de la Mare
Cuts the biggest swell of all.

It is Froggy, Froggy, Froggy, Froggy, always on the go,
For Froggy plays the hardest, as the other fellows know.
Frog, Frog, Frog, Frog, Frog, Frog, Frog, Frog, Frog, Frog, Frog, Frog, Frog,
Frog, Frog, Frog, Frog, Frog, Frog, Frog, Frog, Frog's — the boy — to go!

"If you decide
To pocket your pride,
Why, well and good."

—Princess Ida.

Now the Coll. is half erected,
There's something we want yet—
Quite thirty thousand pounds collected,
V.C. freed from debt.
With shillings, sov'reigns, hundreds, your
Donations large and small,
We'll soon construct a library,
Museum and College Hall.

It is canvass, canvass, canvass, canvass,
While we seek for "tin";
Like Budge we'll worry magnates,
Until we rake it in.
Pay, Pay, Pay, Pay, Pay, Pay, Pay, Pay, Pay. Pay, Pay, Pay, Pay;
Pay, Pay, Pay, Pay, Pay, Pay, Pay, Pay, Pay—our debt—away!
