Gaudete, vos feminae antiquae! O vos fortissimae invictaeque-Susania Antony, Elizabetha Cady Stanton, Elizabetha Blackwell, nostra Elizabetha Agassiz-quae pro suffragio, pro dignitate muliebri, pro educatione puellarum et doctrina quae pueris foret aequa fortissime contendistis. In universitate Harvardiana, in patria, in orbeterrarum, status feminarum plerumque inferior dudum habetur. Mulieres se contemnere didicerunt. Copiae et honores et titulihominibus dati tamen feminis sunt negati . . . Arma nondum licet deponere, meae sorores, nee proeliurn tarn Ion-gum tamque difficile nobis est relin-quendum. Ubique flagrat iniqua virorum dominatio...

...celebrated Aleutian Islands poet) (Vancouver, 1943?)." Next to this, Gridley noticed, was a mimeographed supplement to the British Museum's Bulletin of Printed Books. It mentioned the acquisition of the unique volume published in 1455, Asellus Hinnibundus (Whinnying Ass). Asellus begins with the words: "In hoc libro non continentur quae expectares, candide lector" (You won't find what you expect in this book, shining reader) and ends: "Nuces tibi" (Nuts to you). The fake bulletin also states that "until further notice all Scottish books printed before 1750 will be issued only to Scottish readers...

...donnishly funny praises in Latin, described Macmillan (Greats, 1919) as an "imperturbable Scot" who "watches the signs of the sky most attentively, but above all the Great Bear, whose progeny has lately added a bleep to the music of the spheres." (". . . caeli signa attentissime observat, ante omnia ursam maiorem, quae caelestium choro progeniem blantem nuper immiscuit.") Less vividly, Gaitskell (Mod. Greats, 1927) was hailed as a debater who "does not shirk the task of leadership when the free world is at stake...

...ardor adest; Musae et Venus placido de caelo Cantabrigiam descenderunt; histriones classici foriter vigescunt. Sed quales Musae nobis? Plautinae? Et qualis Venus? Secunda? Immo edepol severae Musae tragoediae quibus tantum borribiles irae et mortes pallidae placent. Et non Venus benigna inter nos incedit sed illa Venus dirissima quae tantummodo incastos ritus saeviter fovet. O collegium Harvardianum, quale exemplum maestissimum ver et Venus tibi protulit! Ubinam gentium sunt Nymphae Gratiaeque decentes? Cur nihil nisi membra disiecta? Nam hac in Senecae fabula Ration Stoica nihil potest, et ubique regnat Furor et Cupido ct Caedesl Phaedra enim cui voluptas effrenata maximum habet imperium...

Cavete igitur vos decani decanulique--"non intret Cato theatrum meum"--nec non vos, o septum novi homines qui ad spinosam Lapparum tutelam elevati estis. Quae enim saga Radcliffiensis, quis magus Harvardianus pollenti pectore nunc praesentire potest quam mira et magna Plautus et Bacchus et fervidus ille puer et solutis Gratiae zonis in campo et area nostria iamiam effecturi sint? Nam hac in fabula Plautina est quidam filius qui scortillum venustum perdite amat; est fili pater...
