Ye gallant sophomore

Poetry. To be sung to the tune: Ye man that takes his lager beer. Humorous song in three stanzas with chorus about adventures of sophomore at a university in Ithaca, who escapes from a madhouse in Utica but is unrecognized by his keeper among the other lunaticlike sophomores. At head of text: Second edition. At end of poem: C. F. A. Author's full name not printed on item; taken from pencil notation on Hay Library copy. Date suggested because footnote substituting "ye gallant '74" for "ye gallant sophomore" indicates hero is member of class of 1874; Cornell University, in Ithaca, held first classes in 1868--Encycl. of Amer. facts and dates, New York, 6th ed., 1972, p. 275. First line: There is in sober Ithaca.
