School song

CHRISTOPHER HOLLIS

'The direction of the school is in the hands of a ruling class monopoly.'—Reader in Sociology at London School of Economics.

Oh, what a crab and curse it is In class-bound universities A ruling class monopoly Should run them so improperly.

Readers in sociology Need offer no apology For tearing down the gates that hedged

And barred the-underprivileged.

Should honours only fit a list Of slaves of the capitalist?

Shall we not freely offer passes To members of the lower classes?

Should lecturers to loud applause Not champion Mao's sacred cause?

Should he from lure of power or pelf Refrain from shouting down himself?
