Hilary Reid (née Clark) has kindly given permission to reproduce the following poems by her father Robert M. Clark, Professor of Economics at UBC from 1946 until 1985.
Professor Clark was well known for enlivening many a departmental or Senate meeting with his pointed observations in rhyme.
More information about Professor Clark is provided by Hilary Reid in her piece about the Clark family at UBC (100 Years of Clark/Reid Family Teaching at UBC by Hilary Reid (née Clark)).
