Arid we know that at a meeting 



No matter who is speaking, 



'Tis well worth while for each one to be there. 



When Weygandt reads a bird biography, 

 Each chair is filled and every man intent; 



When Carter is the speaker, 



Every member there is eager

Sometimes we have a general debate 

 On the origin of migratory flight. 



On protective coloration, 



Or the length of incubation — 

 And the argument continues half the night. 



But we know that at a meeting, 



No matter who is speaking, 



'Tis well worth while for each one to be there.

Some cheese and crackers, oysters and the like,

 To plan for meeting, camping-trip or hike. 



For five and twenty years our Club has thrived, 

 And still we see no sign of its decay; 



And may its ties grow stronger. 



Its list of members longer, 

 And may it live for many another day. 



And at every future meeting 



No matter who is speaking, 



'Twill be well worth while for each one to be there I

 ance for 1915 the highest in our history.
