Students and faculty also showed their regard for Osler by performing this poem, "Our Regius Prof.", at a 1905 dinner in his honor at the Waldorf-Historia. The poem was composed to the tune of "God Save the Queen" showing the esteem and cordiality he inspired from colleagues. National #Poetry Month
A page from an old dinner program, text: "Our Regius Prof. Composed and Sung by The Saint Johns Hopkins Gastric Quartette at the dinner to Dr. Osler The Walled-off Castoria New York, May, 20 1905" An old dinner program with the poem: "1. Our chief, we turn to thee, Beloved from sea to sea, To thee we sing. We love thy genial ways, Thy wit and merry plays, Thy matchless eyes' dark rays, And tribute bring. CHORUS-God save the mighty chief, We part from him in grief, God save our chief. God save our Regius Prof, Our hats to him we doff, God save our Regius Prof, God save our Prof. 2. Look at his arteries, Judge of his age by these, Scarce thirty-five . May he ne'er pass his prime In symptom or in sign, Younger in spite of time, Long live our chief. CHORUS-God save the mighty chief, etc. 3. May he find tophi there, Bardolphian noses rare, Undiagnosed. Long may his eye be keen, His touch to feel the spleen, To auscultate the Queen, This is our toast. CHORUS-God save the mighty chief, etc. 4. He'll find there devotees Of all the deities In England's realm. There Vulcan holds the fort, Venus and Bacchus sport, Mars also has his Court In London town. CHORUS-God save the mighty chief, etc. 5. May he come back to us, Still to inspire us, His absence brief. Send him victorious, Happy and glorious, Long to reign over us, Perennial chief. CHORUS-God save the mighty chief, etc."
