The Spike: or, Victoria College Review, October 1906
Those Chairs
Those Chairs
I thought I saw a four-legged chair,
A' standing by the door,
But when I'd time to look again,
I found it was the floor.
Last term we thanked the College Council effusively for presenting us with some "very fine" chairs. We still thank them heartily, but beg to withdraw the epithet. Like patent collapsible beds and patent collapsible tents and other patent collapsibles, these chairs have the unfortunate habit of collapsing at anything but the right time. They have not even that respect for professors, which it is the duty of all college property, including students, to have. Later reports, however, have it that they are of the wrong wood, and that they are to be replaced by something "harder." We wonder!
