At length, because they thought him yearning
To represent his Country’s learning,
Toronto Universitee,
Knowing how ready he would be
Alike in “bello” and in “pace,”
Despatched him to the I.C.A.C.
He packed his trappings Academical,
And sailed to join the Congress Chemical,
Which met that year in London reeky,
To study “la chimie appliquée.”
