Summary
This parody is about Harvard book collectors, including Win Ship [i.e., George Parker Winship], [James A.] DeLacey, and Harvard student book collectors, competing at the steps of the Widener Library for rare books, against [Chauncey Brewster] Tinker and Yale students. Win Ship and DeLacey also lament the pervasive presence of Boston's Watch and Ward.
