Free as the winds that gently blow, From Old Main’s tower the flakes of snow Because they’ve learned their signals well; From A to % they glibly tell The numbers, be they wrong or right To their instructors’ great delight; All of the practices of war And yet they practice vain deceit That their own plans meet no defeat. All the diseases ever named Or lame, or halt, or blind, or maimed The men within the Signal Corps Declare they’ve suffered o’er and o’er. A signal of distress are they,' The signal which they best display, We hope sometime they can and will Be strong enough to come to drill. A. R. D.
