Abstract:

This is an anonymously published poem written in a combination of English and Latin, describing an incident of a student of throwing a rock at the University of Mississippi’s president, Augustus Baldwin Longstreet. Deduced later to have been written by President Longstreet, he pokes fun at himself for being the victim of the event.
