~ R. TH O MA S FELL, ou1· m o~ t wo rth y a nd esteemed P res id ent, wa s bo rn in Liverpoo l, E ngla nd , on July 1.1 ,
t~ ~ 185 1. Hi s ea rl y edu ca tion wa s received at th e Royal ln stitution Schoo l, at Liverpool, where he was en~,:'3o ~ roll ed from 18.17 to 1866. A ft er completing hi s preparato ry studi es he went to L ondon, and in 1866 was
~ mat ri cul ated at K ing's College.
A ft e r four yea r spent in attendan ce here , he studi ed f o r three or four yea rs more at the U ni ve rsity o f
London, and in 1874 he becam e a stud ent a t the U niversity o f M uni ch for a yea r.
Dr. Fell began hi s active wo rk in life in a fiduciar y cap:~c ity in England. from 1876 to 1880, ser ving as lay-reader
under th e Dishop o f London. F o r t wo yea r s therea fter he was a fir st li eutena nt in He r Majesty's servi ce, and tra veled
through Indi a. Chin a, Fo rmosa and Ceylon. In 1882 he cam e to A meri ca.
Dr. Fell was chosen Presid ent o f St. J ohn' . Coll ege in 1886, and he has served thi s venerable in stitution in that capacity continuously e \·e r sin ce.
Immediately upon assumin g the P re. id ency, Dr. Fell se t about rega ining fo r th e in stituti on some o f its prestige lost
during the Civil \ Va r, while he al so sought to strength en its finan cial condition. During hi s ad mini strat ion th e average
enrollm ent o f students has in creased about four or fiv e tim es th e original numbe r. Th e di sciplin e o f th e school cons iderably improved a nd th e curri culum strength ened . the older bu ilclings repa ired. and three o f our fine st buildings erected;
namely, \Vooclwarcl Hall, Senior Hall. and the Gymn as ium ; McDowell Hall also has been rebuilt. F urth ermore, through th e
efforts o f our P resid ent. the long ex i. ting mo rtgage d ebt of th e coll ege. n w unting to $30,000, ha s been compl etely wiped
out.
Th e last accompli shm ent o f hi s adm ini stration was th e affi li at ion o f St. J ohn' s Coll ege with the U ni versity o f Maryland , o f Daltim ore, whi ch in stitution maintain s a Law School. a nd Medi ca l, Dental and P ha rmacy Departments o f ve ry
high sta nding.
Dr. Fell is an acti ve mem be r o f th e A meri ca n Phil olog ic al A ssociation, th e A meri can Academy o f Politi cal Sciences,
the National Edu ca ti onal Assoc iation, th e P hi S ig ma Kappa Fraternity, the U niv ersity Club of Baltimo re, a nd th e Cliosophi e Soc iety o f Prin ceton U niv ers ity.
Th e good wo rk whi ch has been accompli shed by St. J ohn' s during th e past twenty yea rs is clu e in a great mea sure to
the able adm ini stration o f Dr. F ell. \\'hil e th e progress whi ch th e in stitution has mad e under hi s direction bears testimony to hi s efficien cy as a teache r a nd a n executi ve; th e fa ct th at th e dow nward tend ency of th e Coll ege was so promptl y
ar rested during th e fir st years o f hi s P resid ency bea rs eq ually strong testim ony to hi s ability as orga ni zer and finan cier.
Jn 1889 he received the degree of Doctor o f Laws fro m Hampden- Sydn ey Coll ege, of V irg inia; D octor o f P hilosophy from St. J ohn 's in 1907. o f Civil L a ws from th e U ni ve rsity of th e South. a nd in 1912 th e cleg.ree o f D octor o f Laws
from the U niv ersity o f P ittsburgh.

~;"~:~r~ I'l'H feelings mingled with pl easure and recrret, I take up my pen to chronicl e th e events o f the Class o f 19 12
~~'~· ~~ J
from its beginning. It affo rd s me much pleas ure to nam e th e baby events o f our Coll ege caree r and it is
with mu ch regret th at I ay th at th e tim e is f ast approaching wh en we shall sepa rate, each go ing hi s way ,
confident that th ere is a prosperou.· futur e bef ore him .
Th e most memorable event o f 1908 was th e asse mbling o f th e poo r ''g reeni es·· at " C rabtown ," who were
to con. titute th e Cl ass o f 19 12. I shall pass li ghtl y over th e Fre hman yea r, full o f viciss itud es for u ·, and
the rough handling by th e ''Sophs.,'' but luckily we ca me out o f th at with a whole skin.
fter th e enca mpm ent, Jun e week,
a nd th e Commencement exercise were over, we return ed ho me. much wiser th an wh en we arrived, and with num erous
resolutions o f what we would do th e follo wing September.
September, 1909, found us all back to th e fold with th e excepti on o f a few ; but th eir places were fill ed by th e new me.1
- M iller, Lentz and Stal ey.
O ur fir st duty as Sophomo res was as we th ought, to co m mence th e educa ti on o f th e F reshm en. O ne beautiful Friday ~ight we held a Gy mn asium Clas fo r th eir in struction. A lmost all o f us acted as in stru ctors to th e " F reshi e. .. and
we we re very effi cient. Th ere i a aying that th ere is nothing new under th e sun , but if th e man wh o sa id that could
have been th ere th at night. he certainly would ha ve been compell ed to admit th at he had ne\·e r hea rd o f some o f th e things
whi ch we had for our entertainm ent . These entertainm ents eli cl not continu e long . Th ey becam e obnox ious to th e Faculty,
by whi ch th ey were g iven th e polite name o f ha zing, but w hich were call ed by one fond pa rent, '·To rtures wo r e th an th e
Spani sh Inqui siti on. "
\\ 'hen th e F aculty hea rd o f the e entertainm ents, we we r c called togeth er by P ro fesso rs Cec il and \ Voodcock, and
persuaded to aboli sh haz ing, if the F reshi es agreed to ce rtain rule s. Hazing is dying a natural death and it is hoped that in
a yea r it will be gone foreve r.
In th e Sophomore yea r we co ntributed to all th e team s except Casket-ball. Harri .·, \\'in slow, Gail ey and B rashears
were on th e econd football team. R yder and Ga il ey were th e Track representative . In T enni s, Lent z and B rashea r
mad e th e team. Four m embers o f th e cl ass were mad e Co rpo ral s in th e Compani es, and three in th e Ba nd .
It wa during our Sophomore yea r th at we had a g rea t deal of fun. a nd by far th e g rea te t o rganization was th e
'·Fourth Floo r H ell Rai sers," which wo rri ed " R edd y" alm ost to death .

�Afte r we had been lite rail y wa heel out o f Camp and Commencement 11·as ove r, we departed fo r home, each wondering
what th e nex t . yea r had in sto re for him in the way o f non- Co mmi ss ions.
\iVhen we assembled in 19 10, as Junio rs, we found th at eve ry man had return ed, and th at we had a new aclcl ition in th e
shape of ·'La nk y" Zi.egler. This yea r :eemed to be one o f ~nrc! work in Academi c and Mi lita ry Departments. In the
former, we have surpa ssed all reco rd . Th e greatest achievement in our coll ege ca ree t- \\·as th e publi shing o f our RA'L'-'l' AT,
and, ind eed , it was a glorious one. Year after yea r, form er cia ses had been go ing in debt, but we produced an annu al
which wi ll compare well with any, and yet in stead o f go ing in debt, we mad e money.
Another thing o f whi ch we are proud wa: our June Ball. Never befo re we re th ere such ca rd s and deco rations, and
the Graduating Class certainly app reciated such an honor.
The Camp at Tolche ter was a great success, and when we all return ed, it was with th e de ire to return nex t yea r.
\Ve all were more or less urpri sed at our appo intm ents on Commencement day, but we departed with th e determinati on
th at when we return ed we wou ld do our duty as best we cou lei .
\\'h en yet once mo re our feet ought th e path s of old S t. J ohn' s, it wa as Senio rs th at we return ed . Senio rs, for it
was for thi: that we labo red so long a time . \\ .hen th e roll was ca lled it was found that "Dutch" B roaclt-up and '·Lank y"

In ath leti cs we still contributed to each tea m. our men being among th e best. O ur chi ef wo rk has been th e publi shin a
o f the Coll egian wh ich we are doing with g reat succe s. O ne thing whi ch we consider good fo r th e school has been the
ki lling o f one o f th e half-d ead literary societie. . Thi . was accompli. heel by the withd rawal o f the Seniors, and th e
bo tto m clroppecl from th e w ho le thing. It is understoo d th at it is to be reo rganized next yea r, and if we were to be here
we would lend our help most wi llingly.
\ Vhile our class i not so att enti ve to th e military d epa rtm ent . it has not interferred with our duty 111 thi s
depa rtm ent, s in ce it is up to u s to enforce th e rul es. As a class we have been a success, for we ha ve always stood
togeth er in anything which was for th e good o f th e college.
It is now my p urpose to end w ith a hi sto ry o f th e work in the academ ic depa rtm ent, in which we have neve r been
eq ual ed, and we are ju tl y proud o f it. In ou r F reshm an yea r we es tabli shed a hig hl y cred itabl e stand a rd o f academic
wo rk, and have throughout our whole college career stead ily raised it until now in our Senior yea r we posess th e hono rabl e
di tinction o f having seven ty-five per cent. o f th e class on th e hono r roll. Twi ce have th e Inter-Coll egiate math emati cs
prizes been won by ' 12 men : by P. L. Alge r in 1909 and 19 11 , and by F . A . .M ill er in 19 10. I n clos ing I may ay the one
thing to which our success is du e, is f llow ing faithfull y our cl ass motto: " O mni a P robate, Dona Tenete."

hady campu s of S t. J ohn' s September th e nin eteen th , 19 11 , but not until
a week l1ad pa sed were we a11 togeth er. \ Ve cam e from a11 part. o f th e world, from th e rocky coast o f
th e Pacifi c to th e sa ndy sho res o f th e A tlanti c, f rom the hea rt o f th e citi es to the wi ld s o f the farms .
S in ce most o f our parents came up with u s, we were ve ry we11 contented whi le th ey stayed, but just as
soon as they left , home. ick ness stole into our h ea rts, and fo r the foll owing two week s we were a sick bun ch
o f fell ows.
About the second da y th at we were here, th e Sophomo res in vit ed us to room 30 on th e fourth fl oo r. Thinking there wa s
to be a recept ion in our honor, we we re not long in repo rtin g. \ Vhen we had been in th e room a few minutes we found
that it was not what we expected . Some o f us were made to sing '·Casey J ones" a nd other popular songs, so:ne were
made to reci te "As th e Sophomore liked it,'' whil e still oth er s were making love to th e table leg, and other stunts. Th e
refreshments were fourteen rul es drawn up by the G. 0 . H. whi ch we were o rd ered to lea rn a nd obey. But thi s was not
the wo rst. O ne mo rning abo ut 2 o 'clock we we re disturbed in our dreams and ordered to repo rt back o f th e old gym .
F rom there we were taken to th e rai lroad cut, where our strength was tri ed pulling ra il s, wh il e the Sophomores u rged u
on with sla ts. They orde red us to take off ou r shoes when we came back so that we would not wak e ''Reddy ." A lthough
we were a little so re the next day, yet we began to reali ze we were students o f St. J ohn' s.
Ma ny oth er tim e h ave we been summ o ned to roo m 2 o r room 12 to do stunt s fo r the a mu sem e nt o f the Sop homore s, but none o f th em were to be compared with th at aw ful night in the ·'Cut .''
Yet in a ll o f our troubl es we we re ab le t o ca ll our class togeth e r a nd elect our o ffi ce rs. F or P res id en t , Youn g
was se lec t ed. a nd Bartl ett fo r V ice-P res ide nt ; bo th o f wh om h ave se n ·ed us we ll. :\t th e e nd of th e firs t t erm
Youn g left us to prepare fo r th e 1'\avy. A lth ou g h we los t a faithfu l m emb er o f our cla ss, yet he h as our best w is h es
for s u cces . Cassard was elect ed to fill hi s p lace.
O f our Aca dem ic wo rk we are not as ham ed. Thi s m ay best be exp la in ed by what o ne o f our m emb ers did in
a H isto ry t est . The "O ld Lady" mad e a 5. C. V. \\ ' il so n led th e class fo r th e term with high ho nors. O thers
that were o n th e ho no r roll were 1 artlett, Cohn , :'vlow bra y, Nelson, Ritchi e, \ Va lsh, \ Vil son and \ Vin slow.

�IDqr 1J1arulty lliun Again
(Deta il s of game by £ . H.
S IRJ CH)
Fi her's hitless wonders got away to a bad start ye -·terday, but came back 111 time to annex the bacon by 100
to 99.
The redoubtable ''T urk' ' started in to do the hurling b ut the portsider had no more stuff on th e ball than a Grecian
statue wears, and was soon derricked by Manager R. E. F. '· T ommy" wa sent to the mound , and di splayed a varied col
lection of shoo ts. Fi r t he would send in a fast one that co uld only be seen here and there, particularly there. Then he
slid a so ft one over the groove, that came up to the plate lik e a bashful suitor to th e family fireside .
I n the Fi . herites half of th e fir st inning, Harry reached fir st on a fr ee ti cket, th en stretched hi s full length, and
was on second . Armie was next up and the new pitcher served him a highball ove r th e plate, which the umpire called a
strike. T hat was a hard one for Ann ie to swallow. The twirl er sent over another of the same kind, but A rmie looked it
ove r, and seeing th at it was one of hi s favorite kind , tapped it for a sac rifi ce. " Ducky" then faced the slabman, and figured
th at by moving hi s bat through an angle of cos in e 90'' ;+2, 3, he would drive th e pill through a knot hole in th e fence,
but when the ball pa sed by he reali zed that he had hit in th e negative quadrant, and had failed to connect. " Rameses"
came up to the plate wielding an ancient mace. The catcher called fo r a stone age ball, which was fruit for " Ram," but he
economically decided to take advantage of the marginal utility rul e. and wai ted for four bad ones.
" Reddy" stepped to the platter winging hi s renowned cane. The bases were full (so was the team ) . vVith three
and two on him, he conn ected with the garbed co rk. T hen the candles were lighted. The cover was knocked off the ball,
and fell in front o f home plate, while the sphere cleared th e middle garden wall. The catcher touched the runners with
the cover as th ey dented ho me pla te. Hi s nib . . the U mp , decided the runn ers were out, when he was instantly surrounded
170
�by Fisher ' fearless fizzlers, who made a ladies' sewing circle sound as lively as a fun eral. ''Ducky" and H arry wa nted
to measure the angle of incidence, and show that a ball hit in that quad rant would always be a home-run . ''Reddy" tri ed
to put a bug in the U mp's ear, while Manager R. E . F . murmured something that he had read in th e Small A rm F iring
Manual about a spent ball, and tri ed to prove that it counted the same as a ricochet shot. "A rmie" wanted to hold a n interteam debate on the question. "Bob'' and " Jack" attempted t o bribe the U mpire in th e way th ey had read about Clod ius'
briberies, but found that sesterces were only used for paper weights in th e present day. '· T omm y" wanted to settle ;t by
arb itration, but " Turk" yell ed ''kill him ," and th e tea!n grabbed bats.
After the U mpire 's funeral today the game wi ll be continued . Yeste rday's ra in checks good for today' s game only .
Added features-The renowned fe arless phenom " Rames es" wi ll umpire today in a coat o f mail.
171
�FELL is our worthy president,
For the good of the College, I think, he was sent.
AMOS WOODCOCK. a "uster be"
And "Ducky" WADDELL taught "Math" to me.
CECIL and "Bob" WHITE and "Jack" RIPPERE
Have been at St. John's for many a year.
Useful in ·general. FISHER we hnd,
And ARMSTRONG and SIRICH are not far behind
Lords of the "preps" are GLADDEN and GROVE:
And far from "Preps" Hall they ~ever will rove.
The next is STRYKER, who won't give you "three",
Then "Reddy" McGLONE. a sipper of tea.
Yet, EIDSON and STURDY must not be missed,
I think this completes the faculty list.

"Ducky" -M r. P hillips, go to th e boa rd and prove th e fir st probl em. Mr. Catlin, you go. ( Catlin does not go at

" Ducky" ( taking out hi s watch )-Guess you are, go to the board . M r. Clayton, can't you do that?
Clayton-No, Sir. I studi ed it, but" Ducky' ' -Sit down , th en, sit dow n.
( Spickn all goe to th e window, standing by th e radiator, looks out. )
''Ducky' '-M r. Spicknall, sit down and pay attention.
Spickn all-I'm cold .
" Du cky" '-M r. Campbell , get right up and give M r. Sp icknall your seat, I don't want anybody in my class to suffer.

" Du cky' '- M r. Catlin, you a re just wasting chalk. You have not gained one inch since starting, don't you see that?
174
�I wish you gentlemen would put your names on the board (violent gestures) . (Turn ing to Reeder. ) Hold on, hold
on, Mr. Reeder. That comes directly from the thing Mr. Catlin is struggling with.
Mr. Reeder-If thi s equals that ard that equals thi s oth er, this other eq ual s thi s whi ch eq uals that.
"Ducky"-Go on, go on, hurry ; time is an element. There no w, look at Mr. H ~ llj es . Stand out of the way Mr.
Hollj es. (John makes a graceful movement a droite.) I w ish you would make things that look like things. I can't get
you all to economize space. Ju st look at Mr. H ollj es' figure . It covers the whole board. O h, pshaw!- (Turni ng to Spicknall. ) Are you suffering yet, Mr. Spick nall ?
Spicknali-Q uite comfo rtable, Profe ssor.
(General laughter. '· Ducky"' smiles faintly. )
" Ducky"-There now, look at Mr. Riggin. Just throw a ..:at in the air and it will light on its feet every time. Yes,
that's the right answer, but look at that algebra. This is "prep math" I am teaching you now. \ t\fhat are you thinking
about ?
Mr. H~lljes is making the same mistake. N ow, Mr. Riggin , you just- follow-your-nose.
Riggin-Guess I can do that.
( At thi s point four hats, three writing board s and a cuspidor go out the window.)
" Ducky" (not seeing, continues ) -Mr. Phi llips, have yo u read the papers lately ?
Phillips-Yes, Sir.
" Duck y"'-T hen you have read about the stand pat and progress ive men . You are a stand patter. You have been at
th e board over thirty minutes and have done nothing. That's the simplest kind of a thing.
Nelso n- Profe sso r, I can't get thi s stuff .
" Duck y" ( pleased ) -Call it stuff if you want to, Mr. Nel son, but you will find it the hardest S-T-U-F-F you ever got
hold of. What kind of a figure do you call that, anyway? Your figure reminds me of the architecture of Annapoli s.
( Members of the class sho w signs of approval.)
''Duck y''-There no w, Mr. Reeder, don't take two bites at that cherry. \ Vhy don't you draw a picture? I want to see
a picture o f the thing. (Reeder begins to draw .) N ow, just look at that.
Reeder- By taking a unit circle if x equals 0, then y wi ll equal 0.
" Ducky"-Not a bit of it, not a bit of it, Mr. Reeder, it wi ll equal r. Don't you see that ?

O ne night last Ma rch our lea rn ed Faculty held a most thrilling meet ing.
A ft er the routine shipping business had
been t ransacted, Ed . ·ta rted the troubl e by introducing the following resolution:
'' R esolved: That it is th e sen. e o f the Facul ty o f St. J ohn 's th at th e manufacture and sale o f liquo r should be fo r eve r prohibited in th ese nited State. ."
Eddie made a brief but telling speech in favor o f hi s resolution. .. Something mu st be done, .. he said , ·'to cru sh
out th e curse o f drink ." H e wa s oppo eel to li cense and regul ation. A n-o ra! wrong should never be tolerated o r li censed .
Mo reove r, thi s resolution would be a tremendous boom to St . J ohn· s wo rld reputation, resulting in a g reat increase o f
stud ents from Christian homes .
Ducky was on hi s feet with a violent prote. t again st an y such heresy.
But for th e intell ectual stimulu s o f spirits
differenti al calcu lu s would neve r have been evolved . Thi s is, moreover. a fr ee land and he cl aimed th e right to drink
hi s buttermi lk unmolested. He boldly called Redd y to ta sk for lobbying fo r th e resolution, and upon that gentleman's
denial, th e short and ugly word was passed. Being fo rced to retract, Du cky dramaticall y declared .. T o th e Faculty I
apologize, but to th e gentleman- neve r!' '
Thomas entered hi s objections mainly on p ycholog ical and ethical g round . .. If a man d esires to rot out hi s own
stomach, th at is hi s fun eral, not ou rs." " Thi s action" he said, ''would prejudice th e Legislature and cause a redu ction
in our approp ri ation."
Turk follo wed in an effecti ve speech, favo ring th e reso lution on scientifi c ground s and proving th e deleterious chemical effects o f alcohol upon th e system ..
Ram delive red a schola rl y di ss ertation aga inst th e reso lu ti on, showing the eco nomi c convul ion follow ing thi s interference w ith th e suppl y of li quor and the stomach's demand fo r it. He quoted Babylonian and Chald ean hi story
to p rove hi s contention.
A r my th en secured th e floo r and poured fo rth an eloq uence which will ever maintain a high place among th e class ics.
Fo r ten short hours th e Faculty hung with breathless attention upon the powe r o f hi s orato ry.
He g raphically reco unted th e horro rs and . uffering caused by th e demon rum , and a he called th e saloon an in sidious wolf in s h eep· ~

fR1 FTER a long year of toil and labor, gathering rnaiii terial and compiling this book, we say with a glad
heart, "It is finished." It has been our attempt to
depict to our alumni and friends those very things they
would like to have seen and heard had they been on the
campus. As the reader lays aside this volume we hope
he does so with a remembrance of its good qualities and a
forgetfulness of its failings. We hope he has judged it with
a true St. John's Spirit---not with the attitude of a sardonic
critic.
The editorial Board here wishes to extend its thanks to
Miss M. B. Duvall of this city, Miss M. Hoffman of Hagerstown, Professor Eidson, for the drawings in this Rat-Tat ;
and all others who so kindly aided us in its publication .

"Fred die" reported for no uniform. Nothing has happened yet. First Basket-ball

We knew it ; something wonderful happened.
Mellon has appeared in uniform.
Armstrong and Wilkinson form an alliance.
Philomatheans disband.
Preps and Freshmen play a to-a-no-score

"Windy" breaks down under the high strain.

what? Catonsville?
Christmas is coming.
Fields and Young explain their schedule of.
study. They never study Monday night
because they have too much work on
Tuesday, and they don~ t study Tuesday
because they have too little on Wednesday, and they don't study Wednesday
because of an old custom.
Thursday
they study all night.
And from that
time until Monday evening again they
would never think of such a thing as
study. Quite sensible.
The "Oiseau" comes to grief. And our
