Victoria College Fifty Years Hence.

  • Scene: A Room in V.U.C., New America. A Law Class is about to commence.
  • First Student: Fellow Stoodents. I guess we're due for a sock in the jaw. Brookie gave me the glad eye as I came up. Wal, it's either that or the Prof.'s car has done it again.
  • Second Student: Sounds like a Song and Dance to me, but. mebbe you're right . . . . (A newcomer enters). Oh, Helloah Bill, fill that up. (They shake hands) . . . an' who was that lilleutie you had out last . . . . (The Prof, enters).
  • Prof.: Guys, Order! Gimme an inkslinger . . . (He marks the Roll).
  • First Student: Say. Old Timer, do we get tortured this week?
  • Prof.: No, not just this once, Boys, but if ever you should miss getting an exercise you know what to expect.
  • First Student : O.K. Chief.
  • Third Student (Who has been sitting down slumped in his seat with a look reminiscent of that worn by Ai Jolson in the Singing Fool, or comparable to that of Napoleon on Elba); Professor . . . .
  • Prof.: W-h-a-t . . . . Am I actually addressed as Professor! Jumping Geegees . . . .
