_Or, Something like a Score for the Sex._
[In the Cambridge Mathematical Tripos Miss P. G. FAWCETT, of
Newnham, daughter of the late Professor FAWCETT, is declared
to be "above the Senior Wrangler."]
ABOVE the Senior Wrangler! Pheugh!
Where now are male reactionaries
Who flout the feminine, and pooh-pooh
Sweet Mathematic MEGS and MARIES?
Who says a girl is only fit
To be a dainty, dancing dangler?
Here's girlhood's prompt reply to it:
Miss FAWCETT tops the Senior Wrangler!
Would it not have rejoiced the heart
Of her stout sire, the brave Professor?
AGNETA RAMSAY made good start,
But here's a shining she-successor!
Many a male who failed to pass
Will hear it with flushed face and jaw set.
But _Mr. Punch_ brims high his glass,
And drinks your health, Miss P. G. FAWCETT!
