The legend which accompanies the boar’s head
emblem of Queen’s is that a scholar of the college
was attacked by a wild boar . . . he worsted the beast
by thrusting his copy of Aristotle down its throat.

- A pearl to inwardly digest
- For all those in the teaching line?
- On some occasions it is best
- To ram your wisdom down the swine.
