Open House
Open House we've known for twenty years
And more. The engineers first opened up
Their wonders of whirling wheels and belts and gears
And blazing electric lights and in spite of fears
The public entered to wonder and admire.

Then physics offered its mysteries to all;
The glorious beauty of its Geysler tubes,
The delicate instruments that rise and fall
At slightest pressure; and sounds that oft appal
The ignorant, yet hold a fascination.

Chem Open House is not so fair to see
With test-tubes, carboys and desks so grimly marred.
But in a cave they practice alchemy
In secret, and wonder grows how it can be
This marvelous science was saved for us today.
