First Line: IN VASSAR'S HALLS A TUTOR YOUNG
Last Line: WOULD DIFFER WHEN SHE ATE
Subject(s): VASSAR COLLEGE;

IN Vassar's halls a tutor young,
'Tis said, once met his fate;
He taught her in the Calculus
To differentiate.

They're married now -- at meal-times oft
Discord invades their state;
For he has found that she with him
Would differ when she ate.
