THAT "A FRIEND IN NEED IS A FRIEND INDEED," is an adage that we hear every day. Vet, like so many of the old proverbs, we do not appreciate it until its truth is very forcibly brought home to us in the working ont of our daily needs. This fact has been cle;uly illustrated to the Class of 1902 during the last five months. When, a t our wit's end for the advice and h elp of some older head, we hesita ted to call on a ma n whose j:tdgment we felt safe in relying upon , for fear he would not be in sympathy ·with our work. However, need of help always con · quered diffidence, and in no case did we regret our step; indeed, we found that far from being disinterested in our work, our "Friends and Alumni" were in h earty sympathy with an effort which h ad for its purpose the gathering together of strong ties of friendship for ' Alma !1-fater and the cementing of them into an earnest, practical , working bond of sympathy for the College which we love so well. One of the most pleasant features of our work-one which h as cheered up our g loomy days of doubt a nd depression-has been the thou ght that our work has brought us nearer to the mt n who have the honor and prestige of the College on their shoulders. Each yea r we h ear the men who have just grad uated speak of the pleasure of their first Alumni Banquet, "We feel as though the Profs. consider us one of themselves," they say . And so it is with us. We feel that we are something more than " jnst Juni ors; " that we have a part in the work tha t is going on every day around us- the work to uphold th e reput'ition of the College in everything, in scholarship, in discipline, in a thletics, and most important of all, in our deportment as Saint John ' s men. Now comes a very pleasant duty for us, th·lt of thanki ng our friends for work done in our behalf. We extend our h eartfelt th a nks to Prof. J . W. Cain for his help in our literary department, and also for other favors sh own us in our busy days; to Mr. Thos. E. Latimer and Mr. Jas . A. Fechtig for their legal advice; to Messrs. P. H. H erman and Chas. H. McNabb for their artistic work; ·apd to all the rest of the "Friends and Alumni'· who have helped in our work on the RAT-TAT. Hoping that some day we may be in a position to do for our friends what they h ave done for us. We remain, ever gratefully, THE CLASS OF NINETEEN-Two. 6 I \ BEARING in mind the fact that funny men are pot always ''as d-n funny as they think," especially when one is not roasted in just the way h e would like to be, we have taken the necessary steps for ou.r protection. Now, ':e wouldn ' t _have the students to think we have put ourselv~s under the protectiOn of Patrick Mace or other gallant g uardians of the peace of Annapolis, nor have we had our lives insured and the policies made over to" the Faculty; on the contrary, we would just as soon have had our coffins ordered while timber was low, but we have, no matter how, secured ample protection. When a student comes to us and informs us he will not subscribe to our issue if he is not prominently on many pages, we feel that fame is cheap indeed to be bought _at $r.so ( in advance ) ; but, however much against our principles , remembenng the mercenar:,r century whose door has just been opened to us, we poc~et t~e one hundrecl and fifty cents ( think of it ) and wonder how many cop1es h1s name will sell for us. We just mention this fact in the hope that it may, perhaps. soothe the wounded feelings of some under-classman who didn ' t have the "tin" or the "brass" to buy notoriety for one dollar and fifty cents. If the critical eye of the public would say we are sacrilige. •us, or if some unlucky fellow , smarting under the sting of a particularly applicable joke, would tax us with being too personal , we will not attempt to deny the charges, but we . w~uld have the preceptors discard, for the time being, their critical frame of mmd, a_nd prove themselves truly pious by one test-let them, after a hard day's work: Sit for hours under the electric lights, racking their brains for some keen joke or g~md , and when the muse is kind and so me brilliant idea seizes them, let them ~ast It a':ay and say "it is a bit profane," or "he won'tlike it." \Ve will wager If they d1clnot yield to temptation they at least have more sympathy for Adam than before. Hoping that our Alumni may re~all fond recollections of "St. John's on the Severn," and wishing the ladies many happy centuries to come, we remain ..

D . In the centre of McDowell Hall, on the first floor, is the College chapel. On the right of the chapel are the Faculty room and the President ' s office. Two rooms on the third floor are occupied by the Philokalian and Philomathean societies, and the remain,d er of the building is composed of recitation rooms. McDowell Hall is very dear to the heart of every St. John 's boy. Within its hallowed walls he communes with Euclid , prays that math exams may come, and weeps when they are over; reads the wonderful stories told by the Latin , French and German littthors, becomes beside himself with joy that there s hould have been a "confusion of tongues, " and hopes the day may never come when one language will universal he.

The memory of such a n alumnu s could never fade, yet it was thoug ht wise th a t it sh o uld exist in a mate rial fo rm , and when in r855 a pretty a nd comm odious buildin g was erected on the rig ht of McDowell , to be used as a dormitory by th e College boys, Pinkney H a ll was the name it received. W l!u t thi s building is famou:- not only fo r its name.

STA N DIN G on the le ft o f :'ll cDowell H all and frontin g College avenue is a ,·e ry imposin g bu il d ing by th e n a me of Humphrey Hall. The building was erected in 1835, a nd was named in honor of Rev. H ector Humphreys, through w hose persistency a nd influenr:e th e f und s were s ubscribed for the constrnction of th e building, a nd wh o was o ne of the most capable a nd successful executives that ever g uided this Colh ge in h er g lorio us career.

They amuse themselves by makin g life agreeable to the Professors in charge of the h all and by entertainin g th e Coll ege boys, who come over from Pinkney, in a way the like of w hich one does not see on the st age. IJ �Woodward Hall. THIS building was dedicated in June, 1900, and named in honor of the late . Henry \Villiam:'? Woodward, once a student of the College, and in recognition of the interest and services f:) hown the College by his son, James T. Woo~­ ward , £,.;q ., of New York city. It was presented to the Board of Visitors by Fell, part of whose pres,e ntation spe.;ch is here given: '' This_building ha_ . been recently erected, and is provided for the purpose of s facilitating the education of. the rising generation, and to me has been - aliotte~ th e ple~si llg function or announcing the completion .)f the edifice, and of present~ i11 g it t o th e Board of V~sitors and Go,·ernors of this College. ' ' The b:tse ment is constructed to serve as a commodious armory; _. the. upper stori es pro vide a library and scientific laboratories. '' For many years we have felt the great and pre..;sing need of a suitable accom modation for our College library. We possess many rare and valuable books rece ived as an heritage from King William's School, and it was essential that a comfortable and accessible readi11g room should be provided for the students. " So, with our scientific equipment; as science expanded and demanded a prominent position in our curriculum, the means at our disposal were inadequate to meet the demands for modern facilities for im!'arting instruction. '' In this building, by which we stand , our needs in these directions have been sati sfied , and I trust that ·it may be but the first of several new buildings which may be hereafter added to this centre of intellectual activity. " To the friend apd lover of this com·try no human interest can present stronger claims for patronage and support than the cause of science and literature. By their li g hts and influence the mind is invigorated, the taste is refined, and the heart warmed with noble and elevated sentiments. ' 'May we not, then, indulge the pleasing, the delightful hope, that from within these walls the light of science will go forth and pervade every corner of th e land , illuminating the mit~ds of the rising generation, and imparting to posterity those blessings which learning and culture never fail to bestow.''

WIRT , who was St. J ohn's leadin g alumnu s in the Maryl a nd Legislat ure of '98, came from a fa mily of which many genera tions on both sid es have been Cecil co unt y ( Maryland ) p eople. His fa th er, J ohn W . Wirt , was born on Bohemia Manor , not fa r from E lkton . Mel ., and married Miss Margaret S. Biddle. Mr. Wirt himself was born in Cecil co unt y Nove mber 15th, 1851, and received his preparatory trainin g in the E lkton Academy. He entered St. John's, at A nn apolis, with the class of '72, a nd on g rad uation carried off first honors of his class, with th e degree of A. B. After leav in g S t. J ohn 's he attend ed the Jaw school of th e U ni,·ersit y o f Ma ryla nd , wh ere h e grad uated in 187 4 , with the degree of n. L. Firs t ho no r man in hi s class at St. John 's, it was not tmnatural that h e should g rad uat e ~ecn n d in hi s class a t the U ni versity of Maryland . Mr. Wirt received from his A lm a Mater, in 188o, the degree of M. A . Devutin g himself t o his profession , l\lr. Wirt soon acquired a lucrative practice, and such st andin g in hi s communit y th at in 1889 h e was elected to the Ma ryland State Setnte, w here h e did himself and his count y great credit. While ahY ~:ys recogni zed as a n active pa rt y man, hi s in dependence on q uestions of legisla tion has brought him man y fri end s n ot members of his own party . \Vh ether in office or out of office hi s nam e h as always been associated with the hi g h er element of his part y, and wi t!J all th at wou ld tend toward reforming existin g ab uses. It was due t o hi s effor ts that th e A u~t rali an ball ot law went into effect in Maryland. Always a de mocrat, lw was a m em ber of th e Maryland delegati on to th e National Democratic com ·e ntion , both in r884, and in 1892, and snpported President Cle,·elA.nd, for whom h e e ntert ain ed, a nd still en tertain s, feelin gs o f loyalt y a nd adm irati on. Mr. Wirt h as deli vered many addresses of a literary ch a ra cter , am one_:· w hi ch , perhaps, the best known is a n address g iven before th e Alumni of St. John's Coll ege, in 1890, on th e subj ect of " The R ela tion of Men of Liberal Education to th e Civil Ser vice R e form moveme nt ." Thi s address was la rgely circulated. both in the da il y p apers and p a mphl et form. A review, con sistin g of ten articles in the B:tlti more Sun. of the p roceedings of th e Ma ryland Legisl a ture for 18go, has abo b een much co mm ented upon. Mr. Wirt was elected to th e Maryland General Asse mbly in N ovember , ' 97, and was one of th e s tar members of the bouse. Mr. W irt ' s posit ion in the community is best shown by th e fact th at h e is a trustee of his Alma Mater , St. J ohn 's College; vice-president of the Civil Service Association of Mary land , and is connected with oth er organi zations of a local ch~r~ct(o r.

Dr. Humphreys. one of the most successful educators of his period, and, after se\'eral years of close aljld persistent study, was graduated with the highest distinction, and on Commencement Day had the honor of being selected to deliver the Valedictory Address; and his effort on that occasion entranced :he a udi ence and is yet viYidly remembered by many who heard it. After graduation , Dr. H yde selected medicine as his profession, and became a stud ent iu the office of Dr. John Ridout , where he pursued his studies with such assiduity tha t his heaith became imp·; rilled, and respite from study and ch a nge of climate were impera tively ordered. So it happened that he was led to th e hi storic Shenandoah Va:Jley in Virginia, where his fir..;t public service was as Principal of the Front Royal Academy. Whilst thus engaged following hi s natural bent, h e diligently pursued a theolog ica,l course of study, and finally entered the Baltimore Conference of the M. E. Church South, in which he received his first regu lar appointment in r8 6o, at the hands of Bishop Simp~on, who sent him to Morefield, ~V . Va. A year earlier, however, he had been in ch arge of th e work at Wood stock , Va., and vicinity, with marked success. Wh en the war came, his military training at old St. John' s enabled him to be of immediate sen·ice to iti s ado pted State, whose cause he espoused with all the heartiness of his arden·~ nature in the organization and drilling of the undisciplined ma teri al winch ra pidly rallied under its banners . Ha\'ing the "courage of )tis convictions" he went into active sen·ice, was se\'erely wounded , and fought'~allantly throu g hout the war. And when he now occasionally appears , on gala days, at the head of the Second Virginia Regiment, of which he is Chaplain, he is recognized and cheered by hundreds . of his old com rades of the "times wh.i ch tried men 's souls,' as the "Fighting Chaplain" a soubriquet which he won by conspicuous gallantry on many bloody fields. After the war he se n ·ed a number of congregations with great success until �called to the edncat.ional work of th e Church. for which he is eminently fitted a nd in which he h as been no less s uccess ful than in the pulpit . . Previous to be in g call ed to th e Va1ley F.- male College, Dr. H yde was in charge of the Sonoah College a t 1\fartinsburg, Va., a nd that in stitution prospered under his admi ni stration. H e is now President of the Valley Female College at Winchester, Va., one of the most important sch ools under the auspices of the M. E. Church South. His ability in thi s position has attracted widespread a tt entim, , and hi.~ reput a tion is tJot confined to the limits of the State of Virginia , in which th e hi g h position of S ta te Snperintendent of Educa tion ll as been tendered him ; a nd even now his friends a re presenting hi s na me, with the most encou ragin g prospect of s uccess , as a candidate for the offi ce of Commissioner of Ed ucat io n for th e Un ited States. As a mini :-.ter, ;:oldier , a nd ed ucator he has excelled; as a citi zen , his s t and illg is th at w hi ch might be expected of a man of hi s hig h character-modest a nd un ost en ta ti o nc;, pursuin g th e eve n tenor of his way wi'thout an effort or desire t o a tt ract publi c a ttention , and th 01ou g hl y absorbed in hi s work as a teacher, he, nevertheless. h as frequently to refu se honors which a Jess ;·elfi sh man would eagerly grasp.

JT WAS a very happy and congenial party that gathered at the Hotel Rennert on Wednesday, February 13th. The occasion was the Fourth Annual Meet· ing and Banquet of "The Baltimore Alumni of St. John's College, Maryland " ; but the meeting was by no means limited to the alumni res~deut in Baltimore. Many of those present had come long distances, incidentally to enjoy a good dinner and renew old friendship, but above all to testify their love and devotion to their Alma l kfater. This love of college is very closely akin to love of country. It pays the homage of its devotion willingly and hopefully , and guards with jealous care the fair name of the Alma Jl;fater. It is the tie that not merely binds men in closer brotherhood in after-college life, but also unites them in closer union with their college successors for the preservation of all that is most inspiring in college life and college tndition. The withering hand of decay can never strike the college whose youth is renewed in fr<:quent meetings of her sons. To the constancy of graduat-es, St. J ohn's owes much of her distinction in the college world, and these meetings of the Baltimore Alumni tend to keep her where her age ~ nd her achievements entitle her to be-in the front rank of American Colleges. The gathering was in many respects noteworthy. At the banquet table there were seated about fifty men, representing classes ranging back through more than a quarter of a century. Among them were several who have already attained great distinction in their chosen professions. As guests of the asscciation there were tHe Principal and Vice-Principal of the College. Mayor Hayes, of B'lltimore city, Judge Pearce, of the Court of Appeals, and two former Principals, Dr. Garnett, and Dr. Leavitt, whose presence gave a very unusual a nd attractive feature to the meeting. After the dinner-and it was an excellent dinner rendered-there was "the feast of wisdom and the flow of soul." Mr. Philemon H. Tuck, '72, was the toastmaster, and introduced the speakers with characteristic h ;lppy remarks. The speakers were unusually good and aroused great enthusiasm. 'the toasts were : " St. John's College," Dr. Leavitt; "The Faculty," Dr. Fell, Principal; "Vir48 • a 4 �Society of the New York Alumni of St. John's College. JT WOULD be a pleasant te.sk, were it possible, to report upon the work of the New York Alumni Association of the College as favorably as could be desired. The enthusiasm of the St. J ohn 's men who reside in New York, however, is perennial ; and although the past year has not witnessed the accomplishment of all the things which were thought probable in the beginning of 1900, nevertheless, it must be borne in mind, that events ~eldom justify the entirety of prophecy. One great event, however, has happened upon which the New York Alumni Association congratulates itself; that is, the securing of the very substantial interest of Mr. Woodward in the College. To the interest in the College aroused in him by Dr. Fell , we , in New York, have sought to add, from time to time , when we had the opportunity. The mere fact that he is a New Yorker, by adoption, and has come to the aid of the College, in such a substantial manner, makes us feel confident that the plans we have laid, and upon which we han~ been working seriously and earnestly, look ing to the endowment of the Coll<?ge, have, in part, been successful, and will continue to be, in some considerable measure, still successful. It is very gratifying to the New York Alumni that the Board of Visitors and Goyernors of the College have elected Mr. Woodward to th at body. He is a most worthy son of Maryland in New York, and we congratu late the College upon having secured a man of such actual abi lity , as he, for a Governor, among the more distant sons of the College. 'fhe having of a resi o dent of New York upon the Board of Visitors and Governors has been one of the distinct purposes which the New York Alumni Association has had in view, and its accomplishment, together with the very substantial aid which his generosity and interest have brought to the College, make us feel highly gratified with the result of our labors. It is premature to predict any particular result which we are trying to bring about, but suffice it to say that one of our principal efforts is directed toward the securing of an endowment for the College. There seems reasonable ground to belie:ve that in the no distant future a considerable sum of money can be raised for that purpose through the efforts of the New York Alumni. We wish that we could point to some other of the local Alumni Associations nearer to the Col,51 �lege, as having accomplished something toward the endowment of the College, as a n argument for our men h ere working more actively than they fin<i the opportunit y of doin g a t present. P erhaps the next year will see it possible to u se such a n arg um ent . One of our able, interested a nd interestin g members has, during the year, joined the vast majority. His attention to whatever was of interest or of value to St. John 's was always inspiring and encouraging. Hi s example as an able and efficient architect was always pleasing, and it is with the most sincere sy mpathy with his famil y and his fri end s th at we record the passing o f Nicholas Brewer. Hi s n ame has been most intim ately connected with the hi story of the College for many years p?.st, a nd it needs no eulogy here to h ave it kindly and affectionately remembered. This, we a re h appy to state, is the only Joss a mon g our number during the year. The officers of the A ssociation for the following year are as follows : H erbert Noble, '89, President; Dr. Chas. Brewer, '85, Secretary and Treasurer. ���Class of 1901. 1\lolto-Fail'e mon devoir. Colors- OLIVE AND WHITE. C!lass Jj}ell. Sis I Boom ! Fling ! Sis ! Boom ! Fl in g !

N orrisville, Md History of 1901. THE HISTORIAN of a Senior Class occupies a peculiar position--a position which, notwithstanding the honor, has a tinge of sadness in in it. The historians of the lower classes may tell of the mistakes and the shortcomings of their respective bodies, but they have this to look forw ard to, that their class may, by zealous effort in the future, rectify its mistakes and atone for its shortcomings. The history of the g raduating class, on the other hand, remains as it is written here. The· errors cannot be atoned for, and the mistakes that have been made, can never be corrected. However, the Class of 1901, notwithstanding its sins of omission and commission, has done much that is creditable, and the influence which it has exerted for good in all departments of college life will long be remembered and felt in our beloved Alma Jlfater. Anyhow, we have done what we could, and have always, to the best of our ability, lived up to our excellent mot!:o "Faire mon devoi1,'' at~d who can do more than this ? The Class of I 901, from its earliest beginning,. has never been remarkable . for its numerical strength. In the fall of '97, when we first began to play a part in college life at St. John' s, we numbered fifteen , which, I think I can say without fear of being contradicted, was the smalles t Freshman Class that b ad been in St. John's for a number of years. Yet, notwithstanding our small numbers, by our earnest and assiduous application to the work assigned to us during that year, we commended ourselves to the approval of the entire student body and to the faculty as well, as an earnest, intelligent set of lads, who would one day make themselves known in the busy world without. During our Freshman year nothing of remarkable interest occurred, unless I may except a few midnight raids by the Sopbs, who thought it incumbent on them to keep us always aware of our utter insignificance and our low , obscure position, lest we forget and go astray. These rebukes we all took in good grace, appreciating the intense interest which the benevolent Sophs seemed to hold for us, also glad to learn, even if it was with pain to ourselves, what we would be expected to do during the following year , when we would attain to the honorable and glorious position of Sophomores, with a Freshman Class under us to lead in the proper paths. 59 �W ell , the end of our first yea r came a t last , and we separa ted to go to our resp ecti ve homes. After three months of h appy recreation we found ourselves again in the ancient city. But alas! Of our former IS member s, only seven remained . The others, for various reasons h ad failed t0 return , and we were never more to number them with us . Wha t would now be the result of our efforts to control the tremend ously la rge Freshman Class, and k eep them in thei r proper position as all loyal Sophomores a re morall y bound to d o ? What , also , would become of us as a class by th e time we would g rad na te if we continued to decrease in num bers a t s uch a n alar ming ly rapid gait ? F o rtun a tely, however , we were reinforced by some new indi viduals who a rri vtcl from different parts of the Sta te , a nd after sufficient time h ad elapsed to en able us to become acquainted with the m, we found out with mu ch pleasure a nd satisfaction th at they were men in ever y sense of th e word-men who would stri ve with untiring energy to maintain our proud position both as Sophomores. a nd as a class of g reat intellectual ability, for which we h ave always been renowned . any such insinu ations to be made. The b usiness m anagers, a ft er h a ving ca refully gon e over lhe g round and computed the cost, reported th e res ult of their investigations, and th e class , alt h ough deeply la menting the fac t, did not feel justifi ed in publishing the book . T hi s decision was no h asty one a nd it was reach ed onl y aft er careful and ma ture delibera tion. The cl ass, no one else knows how much, deplored th e fnct th a t th e condition o f th eir fin ances would not permit th em to go on with th e work . A ft er making the decision, however . they determin ed as a wh ole tha t nothin g would p revent the m from publi s hing a Collegian in the following year , a nd they were resolved to p ut out s uch a monthly , which by its e x cell ence in all parti cul a rs, would be a credit to the class, a nd to their bel oved ins tituti on as well. Wh en next we met we were Juniors- -d ig nified u pper-cla::;smen- from wh om much was to be ex pected, a nd with responsibilities h ang ing over our h eads like the S word of Da mocles. The chief of these was the stupendou s work of editing a n a nnual. The Class w ith th at unity for which it h as ever been not ed, dete rmined to accom plish thi s task if such a thing co uld be accomplished without ma kin g too big inroads into our by n o m eans well -fi lled pock etbook s. Thi s was th e onl y difficulty , a nd I k now th at no one will say th a t it was from an y lack of li terary ability tha t _the class of Igo r was not able to edit a RAT-T AT. The record of the class throug hout its entire co urse h as been too good along this line to allow H as thi s been done ? The numbers of the Collegian th a t h a ve been issued by the class so fa r speak for themselves, and no comm ent is needed wh a tever . Th e favorable comme nts which we h ave h eard fro m man y sources regardin g the Collegian of Igoo- oi , lead us, in some measure, to infer tha t we h aYe, in some deg ree a t least , succeeded in ou r efforts to publi sh a su perior college monthly. H owever , that may be. I can h on estly say th a t th e Cl ass h as cl one its best , a nd if the Colleg ian of thi s year is a creditable literary p rod uction , it is onl y cl ue to th e zealouE', united efforts of the Class, a nd perseveran ce a nd p luck h ave h ad their rewa rd. Now , I think tha t n earl y all the im porta nt events in the a nnals of this trul y great Class h ave been recounted. Of course, much h as been left unsa id a nd I could go on from h ere and tell of the individual ch aracte ri sticss o f its several members , and volumes could be written ; for a set of m en of more positive ch aracters, of more p ronounced views, and ot more peculi ar di spositions th an the Class of I90 I h as never b een gathered together un de r one head. I think tha t those w h o a re well acqu ainted w ith its JJlembers will entirely agree with me in this. I mi ght begin with our honored a nd esteemed president, Mr. G. F . Wisner , wh o h as served m; in this capacity during our w hole course, a nd recount hi s m an y virtues , hi <> ambitions, his love affairs, his disapp ointments, his peculia rities w ithout end , but these are all too well k n own to menti on , a nd would be ancient hi story. One important event I h ave failed to ment ion , that is, the advent into the Class at the beginning of the Seni or year of Mr. J ohn G. W ell s , who, by hi s superb work on th e g ridi ron d uring the past foot-ball ~;eason , a nd hi s glorious awe-in spiring "stand-in " wit h , the fai r sex of A nn apolis h as compelled the wonder and the admiration of all. As I h ave just re ma rked , it would be fa r too leng th y a tale to d epict the individual cha racteristics of the members of thi s Class . So with this brief mention of t wo of them I will p ass on. It would not be proper, n either would the His torian be willin g, to leave out the part whi ch hi s Class h as ta k en in th at g reat ad junc t of college life- a thle ti cs. O n account of our small numbers, we cannot pride ourselves, it is true, on h avin g 6o 6r . This second year of our course was eventful in ma ny pa rticulars. F irst, on account of our inflicting on th e F reshmen a well-m erited rebuke, which consisted in takin g them to the gymnasi um on a cold moonlig ht w intry nig ht , a nd putting them throug h various forms of exercise , a nd after ward read ing to them a set of rules by whi ch they should in the future be bound. W e were judged b y the faculty as h av in g exercised und ue a uth ority, and were thereupon s uspended from the in stituti on . Before sufficient tim e h ad elapsed, however , to allow ns to pack up o ur belong ings a11d depart , the faC' tlty came to the conclusion tha t the college could not afford to miss us, a nd th at h owe\·er much we h ad deserved the pe nalt y, the awful e mptiness whi ch would prevail d uring our absence could not be end ured, a nd so th e sentenc( was deferred. After thi s noteworth y event in o nr a nn als, th e cl ass ils a whole settled down to h a rd work, the good res ults of whic h were cl earl y sh own a t the end of the yea r, wh en h ~ lf of th e class rect>ived first g rade certifica tes a t the com me nceme nt exercises, a record of which an y class mig ht feel proud , a nd which has not been eq ualled by a ny other class in the me mory of the hi stori a n . �the g reatest number of men on the several team s, b ut we h ave always sh own the g reatest inte rest in the endeavor to maintain the prestig e of S t. J ohn 's on the g rid-iron, track a nd d ia mond , a nd thi s will always be true of us, even afte r we h ave long sin ce ceased to p lay a n acti ve part in the struggle. S ince we h ave been stude nts a t S t. J ohn 's, we h ave always been represented on the several teams, a nd it is not vain talk to assert , th a t the Cl ass of rgo r , since the begin ning of its existence, h as contributed so me of t h e best a thletes in all classes of out-door sports tha t h ave ever represented this time- honored institution . N ow, we are nearing the close of our last year a t College. As we look back over the past fo u r years, we see m ~ n y thin gs which we h a ·; e done, bo th indiYidually an d as a class, tha t would h ave been fa r better left undone . W e also see m any sins of omi ssion which n ow can never be remedi ed . H owever, th ese mistak es h ave taug ht us lessons which should benefit us in the future, and which will g uard us, it is to be h oped , from ma king more mista k es of the same nature wh en we are la unch ed fo rth on the sea of our own resources. L et those wh o follow us imitate our virtues a nd profit by our mistake-s. That the n a me of S t . J ohn 's may be k nown , respected and h onored throug hout the land long after t he Class of rgo r h as ceased to fi g ure in its history, is the si ncere wish of every m ember of the Class.

In the last respect , the hi storian can't refrain from me ntionin g a few of those who distinguished themselves. There is Colonel Despard , who h as always been known for hi s affi nity for th e fair sex. There is "Froggie' ' 'Carbutton who corresponded wit h not leo.;s than twenty-one g irls. Th ere is "Scrubby" L a Motte, who is always ta)kiu g abo ut the girl he left " up h o me"; a nd there are others too numerous to menti on. Thus . fai r reader, yon h ave ~een a few of th e many ways how that heterogeneous mass was funn ed into a more h o mogeneous body of '' Genus Homo ," to be known in the future as the Sophomore Class. Upon o ur return in September, '99, we found th a t a few of our members, thro ug h a desire to pursue again those studies of the Freshman year, had decided to wi thdraw fro m 1902 a nd cast their lot, as they were pleased to style it , with th e "Special Class." It is needless to add we grea tl y lamented the loss of these valuable mem bers; but, th anks to Him w ho ruleth over all things, our lamentations were h eard , a nd mann a rai ned down from th e heavens. Thus the Sophomo re year of the ' ' Banner Class " opened with thirty -two mf m bers-one more th a n we had in our Freshman year. Again Naug!tty- T zvo came to th e front in athletics. On the foot-ball team we were represented by four regul ars and two substitutes. Base ball! Ask 1 900 whether we can play or not . Shall we eve1' forget our triumph over tha t h a ughty a nd invincible Senior Class? Think of it! The Sen£or Class, with the first tea m battery and three other reg ula rs, beate n by that in sig nificant, detestable Sophomore Class. Never did men show more of th at ' 'do or die'' spirit than lVaug!tty- T wo did on th at memorable day. The banner of success, which h .id been gradually creeping up the mast , reached the top from w hence it h as serene ly fl oated e\'er since. In fi eld sports we were second , being beaten onl y by th at indomitable Senior Class. Th e Sophomore year, as a whole, was passed in hard stud y. "Exams" were not easy, a nd some of those who b ad failed to keep our motto, Fideli cn'fa m erces bef )fe them, were found bewailing t heir lot . It is need less to add that 1 902 was still h avin g h er own way with the fair sex . :' l. e hi storia n himself h as been accused of visiting some of the maidens of •·ye a ncient city"; but h e wish es to say rig ht here it was a case of mistaken iden tit v . It was hi s room-mate a nd not h e. . When our esteemed President, Dr. F ell, assisted by Prof. Garver, assigned us our seats September last , we were astonnJed a t our decrease in numbers . We h ad been boiled down. W e h ad been e\·aporated to a more concentra ted solution . The qn :mtity h ad been decreasel, the quality increased. Out of thirty-two boys of o ur S ·~p h onw re ~· ear we h ave twenty men. Th e ch aff h as been separated from the \\' hea t.

" T HE TASK of the historian has ever been a hard one. To g ive all the g reat deeds of glory his class has performed is a dut y of no mean magnitude. But by much the harder is hi s task when hoc h as something grand and glorious to tell you and feel s his inadequ2.cy to do the description justice. • Thus it is with the hi storian of the Class of 1902. Neverthele--s, casting aside as much as possible all prejudice and vain glory, he will attempt to na rra te very briefly some of the many achievements of the Banner Class of old St. John 's. On a bright September morning, in the year r 8g8, there was collected around the portals of this time-honored institution an aggregation of youths who were forever afterward to be known as the Class of 1 902. Written on the tanned faces of the country lads, as well as on the pale cou11tenances of the city chaps , could be seen those cha racteri stics which go to make up a true college man. We organized, thirty-one members strong, and elected as our president, Spates, of Montgomery. Throughout our Freshman year we gave ev idence that .St. J ohn' s had collected a youthful band of which she mig ht feel justly proud. In athletics, in studies, in breaking the hearts of the fair maids of Ann apolis, in all we held our own with the first . Before the close of the foot-ball season, we were represented on the team by the two guards and one t ackle . During the same year we gave the base-ball team its best pitcher and furnish ed two other men for the nine. A s to studies, memory still carries us back to our Freshman days, when m01 e of u s secured first grade certificates than ever we have since. We had not learned how detestable first grade certificates are. You may be sure but few of u s have been so fooli sh s ince. �at least one-fourth of the nine. As to scholarship, the ''Banner Class has put away childish things. Never before has such a desire for knowledge been shown as during this year. Conic sections and Tacitus have been cast to the breezes like aut umn leaves in a western gale. And now, here we are about to reach the pinnacle which we have so longed for since our Freshman clays. We remember now very vividly how, when we th o ug ht our lot unbearable, we would cry out in all our agony, "How long, oh my soul! How long until the mantle of greatness shall fall upon us?'' We were told then to be a Senior was greater than to be a king; and yet now we have almost reached our goal. We can see rapidly approaching us the emblazoned word, Senior. In wild ecstacy we grasp each other's hands, but only for an instant. We lllU st be di g nified , we must be men. Interwoven with that fiery she;:n we see the \Yorcl du !_y . We begin to realize our obligations to our college; our obligations to ourse lves. Will we live up to what is expected of Seniors, or will we be tried in tl1 e bala nce and fouml wanting? We can follow no better counsel, fellowclus::. lll en , than that g iven by the poet , and with thi s quotation th~ historian s ubnu ts the reco rds of the'' Banner Class" of old St. John's : " This above all- to thine ow nself be true, And it must follow, as th e night th e clay, Thou canst not then be false to any man.''

Many subs. and scrubs also were furnished from among our ranks. These men all did splendid work aud we are proud of them. History of 1903. EMERSON said "The silence that accepts merit as the a:ost natural thing in the world is the highest applause.'' And though we believe every word expressed in this thought, yet in our history we expect to make particular mention of what cn:dit of merit we feel that we deserve. For there is something born of tradition, which causes people to doubt that a Sophomore can be worthy of merit. The history of the Class of '03 is simply the proud record of st,ccessive deeds of merit and accomplishment, performed by a worthy body of hearty, healthy and happy youths, who have come to old St. J ..hn's for ment:tl and physical development. And it is a happy fact that at this school we have found our minds and character to b~ disciplined, not only by the systematic course of study, but by the pleasant influences that our association with the fellow-stu(lents has had upon us. And first of all, we wish to extend to them a greeting. Only a f<~w of our classmates have enjoyed these influences of college life through all the lower classes of the institution. And it might be well to say right here, that in the immediate ambition of one who had this privilege, no attainment is considered more gratifying, no accomplishment more coveted than an honorable graduation from the institution. The fellowship of manly students the affection we bear for our professors, the well -requited interest we lend to athletics and the credit and aid of our honorable alumni, all contribute to make life at St. John's an ideal college experience. · Well, after all our shortcomings, misfortunes , class-skippings and the like, we, as a body, have passed bravely throug h the hard work, the hard pillow fights and the hard everything else to which a Freshman is heir. Then , in the happy, but worn out expression of former hi storians, we became ''proud and noble Sophomores." and one of our number became a Junior. Here we stand, one step nearer the coveted Senior, one point higher on the scale of our dignity; one degree stronger in the bond of our nnion . One more star gleams out from the crown of our accomplishment. And having selected the motto nearest our immediate interest, we are moving onward, guided by the charm of its significance. "Union to the end," you say, is a motto not a little selfish, and not very lofty in its principle for guidance through life. Very true. but how appropriate as a precautionary rule of conduct, that can win for our class that strength of influence and purpose which always accompanies union . In purpose this union has never been broken. And that purpose, which is to be kindly, sociable, studious and dignified, has been carried out so as to gain for us the love and esteem of every class in school. What fond memories this class holds of its Freshman year ! That remains an unwritten history, but the youthful praqks and noisy nights enjoyed in old Pinkney, are so thoroughly impressed upon our minds that no record is needed. Suffice it to say, that we played well the role of college barbarians, for such all Freshmen truly are. But on the other hand, our union has been broken. L ate in the fall of thi s session, when all things were going well, and everybody was enJoying everybody else's company, our class was given the pain of p:uting with "Count" de Mitkewicz, hetter known as "Mixty." He had been a de;oted member of the class since we were "Preps. ," and when he left to enter business in New York, we were much grieved. Shakespeare's say ing that trouble never comes alone, but in battalions, seems to apply to us right here, for shortly after "Mixty 's " departure "Simon'' Turner the "Squirrel", was taken from us. "Simon " was appointed to the U. S. Naval Academy. Then, more recently our "Nosey" friend Jacobs, alias "Yacobs," launched his craft in other waters. The sorrow that we feel over the loss of these good classmates is great, and the class expresses for e:tch one of them a brotherly interest, and an earnest wish that they may prosper and be happy . We admit that in the several functions of the student body, it was not our good fortune to shine as brilliantly as we had desired. At that time, the members of our class, who took any active part in athletics, were so new to the sports that they could not do much. But when the term opened this year we took some very decided steps toward upholding the high reputation of StJohn's in athletics. Among those who were fortunate enough to get on the foot-ball The most interesting feature of this class must not be neglected, to give place to other matter. It is well known throu~hout college that we present the most wonderful und varied collection of physiognomies, personalities and customs ever before seen at St. John's. And as much as the historian would like to present each one, he is limited to mention only those most flagrant in their indivHuality. We have the burden of an unusually large number of peevish, pesky fellt>ws 78 79 �from the barren wastes of the Eastern Shore, but comparatively few from the in· vigorating mountain air of W estern Maryland. Beginning with the wonders of th e Eastern Shore, we will first consider th e largest and most awkward specimen , "Rustic" Beatty, and his Cecil co unty feet. No amount or emph;lsis could exactly impress the reader wi th the propo-tions of these feet . Suffice it to say that they are native to Cecil county . No amount of praise could quite justify the goodness, mumness aud oneness of W oodcock, or the singular talent and eloquen-::e of "Patrick" Dougherty. '·Pat" find s his g reatest difficulty in keeping his month shut when hi s ench a nting wit prompts expression. There is one, Garey, in whose aristocrati c breast heaves th e true blue blood, feedin g a great brain, the strength of which it is not well to under-estimate. "Baby Bip" Tilghm an bears a very close resemblance to a fl a t Dutch b ead of cabbage. If you ever see "Lord" Riggin , you may know h im without difficulty. H e wears the woe-begone, dispirited expression of hopeless misery u;mally seen upou the face of a broken-down sport. It is now v ery relieving to make mention of some of our c urios from th e Western Shore. The first of this collection is Rohrer. This uproa ri ous character has developed , not only into a good foot-ball a nd base-ball player, but into an excellent " rou g h house" ratser, and a general good fellow. At present h e is Chairm an of the General Disturbance Committee , which is co mposed of MessrsTilghman ( resig ned ), Garey, Hall, Hollingsworth and G rant. "Nature is benevolent" in giving us a large and faithful "Weary Willie" Committee, consisting of Chairman Russell , Wrede, Rullm an , Riggin, Seward , Sellman and Linthicum . The histori a n can not leave this interesting part of hi s subj ect without mak ing particular reference to the sarcasm of Bleck e r, th e poli sh of Seward, the h eight of Reed , the youth of Bryan , a nd the beauty of E lgen . It must not be forgotten that this has always been a class of merit , and th e relation we bear to the institution b as always been that of peace-m ak ers. Therefore, don ' t think that we are inconsi stent in publi shing a few facts of our recent history. One nig ht the Disturbance Committee decided tha t for the good health and complexion of all , it was necessary to h ave some fun. Not a Freshie a nd not a Prof. was in the hall. Soon every bed belongir.g to our dear Freshm en friends was comfortably piled up in one large room on the fourth floor. There were car-loads of fun for the h ard worked Sophs, when th e tired and sleepy Freshmen sauntered in and found not where to lay their heads. There were different expressions of surprise, some laughed , some cried , some swore and So others were speechless. Mingled with their .cries of "Where's my bed , ohairs, bureau, trunk," etc., were the peals of laughter from the Sophs and Juniors, and the th.rea ts of the Seniors. For two or three hours the noise continued, and for two or three week s the dragging , banging and straightening up of beds and rvonts amused us. When the F .tcu lty found it ot1t they yery generously administered a "demerit of fifty" to each member of the aforesaid committee. For a while after the Faculty had tllll:-; rewarded thlm , we did not hear the h ~ ppy tones of · 'Sail On , Oh, Ship of State," or of "SwL"et Bunch of Roses ," <,r ''\\>'hen I Can Read My Title Clea r ,'' ringing- throug h the halls . The fact that ' ·He \\'ho laughs last laughs best, " dawned upon them, and they sought consolation in the thou g ht that old heads can not grow on young shoulders. Ou a later occasion and at a later hour of the night , the committee ,,·as coll\·inced that it was again necessa ry to gratify that sinful. craving for fun . Tht:refore, with bng les , horns , rattles. and other things not conducive to sleep, they quietly visited Humphrey Hall, \\'here the Preps dwell. It is sufficit>nt to state that their intention, which was to ha,·e fun and scare the sleeping Preps h alf to distraction, was fin ely carried ont. And now it cam e to pass that this same Faculty again kindly piled twentyfive demerit s more on the offending peace makers .. Th ese e\·ents. in connection with a few extra stag-dances in the gym., pillow fi g ht s, rule-readin gs, rllle-l.Jreakiugs, a nd several efforts to please our English Professor, ought to sati sfy the reader , tha-t this is a class of merit , enterprise, and some ex tra demerits. We believe the foregoing to e mhody th e salient deeds and misdeeds of our Sophomore hi story . Since we have favored the,.:e precincts of learning we have formed a real 10\·e for 'h e same. and wh erever we may go, whatever we may do · we will always hold in che rished reme mbrance the events of our Sophomore year. 6 �Special Class.

SEPTEMBER 19th, 1900, was a g reat day in the history of St. John's, for on that day the members of Class of '04 assembled here for the first time. Close observers remarked what an intelligent looking body this class was. There were members from 4 feet 2 inches to 6 feet 4 inches in height ; from So pounds to 200 pounds in weight, and from common to infinity in good looks. Several members of the Class of 'oo of the Preparatory School entered this class. These were President Tom Peters, Tunis Strange, Country Torbert, Benedict Mudd, Pat Murphy, Rat Jones, Dada Magruder, Ellie Burwell, Corn Husk Revell, Rough House No. 2 Cooper, Mooney Halbert, and Old Lady Wilson. The new ones were Rube Burroughs, Crokinole Cronin, Silver Tongue Hodges, Squaw Leach, Aguinaldo Masenheimer, Pigeon Padgett, Tony Powell, B. A. Scarborough, Sister Small, Summer Somerville, Sticky Stick, Burlingame Sheppard, Puss Wilmer and Buckwheat Wilson. When these enterprising young men established themselves on the fourth floor of Pinkney, it was quite natural for the said floor to change color. It did this, but contrary to all precedent, it changed fiom green. Such a set of respectful , dutiful and hardworking ( ?) freshmen, perhap'>, was never seen before. Although we were a virtuous band, we were not exempt from visits of a secret society called G. 0. H. We did not know what G. 0 . H. meant, but we guessed it stood for "got out of Heaven" (??? ) or maybe somewhere else. We learned that the emblem of this mysterious society was the skull and cross-bones. We learned further that if we would pass all our exams. here this year and come back next year, we would be allowed to join the G. 0. H. Of course tb.at looked like a ruse to get us to work hard, so we put little faith in the promises of the Grand Prophet of the G. 0. H . These G. 0. H'ers came around occasionally to see how we were sleeping, and read rules to us. Before they read these rules, they made us stand at attention with our faces to the wall. Of course we were scared too badly to know what kind of rules they were reading-so they thought. We let them think so and promptly forgot the rules. We were surprised to learn that the Glee Club gave such good opportunities to Freshmen. We had scarcely had all the good furniture in our roo'lls ex- 87 86 �changed for worse by the Sophs. when the President of the Glee Club invited us to take part in the meetings. We took part and two of our members di<i so well that they were elected vice-presidents of the club. It was rather remarkable however, that the glee was mostly enjoyed by the ulder members of the club. We soon organized and elected our officers. We showed much good sense in choosing them, and especially our historian. It is a rather notable fact that our treasurer has not embezzled any of onr funds. It has been said that the class has never had any money. This, however, is a mistake; there is at least six cents in stamps in our treasury. These stamps were found in the record book that our president stole from Dr. Garver, We had no foot ball team because no other class had one. The Preps. nerved themselves up till they agreed to play a team pickeci from among the Freshmen, but their nerve left them about an hour and a-half before the time the game was to be called. We felt sure that we could beat any team that could not beat us, and we will be prepared to test the truth of this 11ext year. Although we had no class team, we were not slow ;n foot ball. Big brawny Benedict worked hard, being on the field every day. He played in both league games. Puss O'Grady showed his skill and strength during the first half of the season . If his head had not been too soft for the occasion at Swarthmore, he would have kept up the good work as he began it. ''Mooney Mac, Cracker ] ack, Full Back Halbert." was yelled at almost every game. Of course this yell was given after some good play made by Halbert, '04. Nearly half the Freshmen played on teams, and all but four or five played in "scrub" games. It will not be hard to get a good captain for the team in 1903. In 1903-o4 we will be able to furnish efficient officers for all the college organizations except the Y. M. C. A. We depended on Country for this; but, unless he takes a brace, we fear we will be disappointed. At the beginning of the second term Parson Jackson entered our class. At first it was rumored that he would be an active Y. M. C. A. m~n, but nothing has yet occurred to verify this rumor. During the winter the freshmen distinguished themselves by being quiet. At least one-sixteenth of them went to bed regularly before twelve o'clock. While so mat1y freshmen were behaving themselves, a few of them were raising what is generally called ''rough house.'' Tony. chief of the fire brigade, caused many anathemas to be thrown from fourth floor windows. He seemed to have very little feeling for sleeping freshmen. In drilling his company he would always make some sleeping innocent repn·sent the fire. Of course, much water would have to be thrown on the fire before it could be put out (of bed); but when it was out, Tony would take care to get out of its way. Few people are afraid of fires that have been put out, but Tony's fire brigade belonged to this few. 88 Towards the end of the first term much midnight electricity was used. ~veryone was preparing his gouge papers. Cuffs were covered with "j'ai, tu as, tl a, etc., an.-1 "possum, posse, potui," etc. Finally the time came for the nse of these conveniences, and with it came gt oans from delinquents. Many long faces came from exam. rooms tho~e mornings. ''I didn't ha\·e a gouge on a thing that he aske~ me", '·I wish I had studied a little more during the term," and like expressiOns were ~ften heard on the fourth floor. Most Freshmen decided to get down to work dunng the second term. But when that term began they thought the?' would have plenty of time later, so they would not work very hard for a wht.le. We are very glad to know, however, that if all our members get through thetr second term exams, none will fall by the wayside. T~ere are two ?eculiari.ties of our classmen that are too important to be passed over Without ment10n-the1r bad health on days on which hard lessons come and their remarkable abil tty in using ponies. Om Latin professor calls these con~eni­ ences b'anslations, but popular usage demands that they be called ponies. We are unable to describe the individual Freshmen . This is not because there is nothing of interest to be written of them, but because the historian has not t~1e ~bility ~o describe their virtues, and has not the stature to justify him in ment10mng thetr faults. The young ladies of Annapolis can tell more of some of o.ur ~embers than the historian can; because some of them pass more of their ttme Ill the company of the said young ladies than in that of the historian. Of these, the principal ones are Country Tarbert and Rube Burroughs. Prudence demands that no other names be mentioned. Class '04 was not slow to get a base-ball team organized when the spring came. Although they have played no games to date, we are sure they wi ll give a good account of themselves when the time comes. Much more could he written of class 'o4. but vve think this is enough to give the readers a general idea of this virtuous class. We yet ha,·e se\·eral things to learn before we are gradua~es, and we know it. Some of us did not realize this fact when we first came here, but our friends in the G. 0. 11 . soon impressed it upon our minds. Now, however , we all know our places and fill them acceptably to ourselves at least. . With this I depart--that, as I scratched my head and smoked my strongest ptpe for the purpose of writing this, I have the same head to scratch and the same pipe to smoke whtnever it s hall again please my class to need my services.

A., 1900-'01. A HISTORY, or memorandum, of the work of the Young Men's Christian Association might be of little interest; it is rather on account of the progress we haYe made and the lines along which we are developing that a few words may he written. As the artist views his model frum different positions, so we review our work from different standpoints. There are two, namely, what internal . changes we have made in our government, and what have been their results in ou~ work of promoting His kingdom. We claim for our Association this year the acquirement of a higher feeling of respect among 'the students for its aim than has been held before. This has been due to two reasons. Firstly, the Association has enlisted in its ranks men who have shown that they can be Christian workers, and college men in every respect, men who have proved that Christianity can be carried into every branch of college activity. Secondly, the persistent work that has been carried on by the bead of our organization . · When President Coblentz entered upon the duties of his office, he brought with him a determination to act, which, in the face of many discouragements, be has always kept to the front . As every organization mu::.t have a central power in order to attain success, he has been a constant helper and guide to those who have worked under him. He placed the Association on a firmer basis by introducing thorough committee work. By this means we have successfully started Bible study, which, if it develops in proportion to its auspicious beginning, will be a powerful factor in upbui lding our Christian standard-and mission study a means of holding interest and gaining information for all classes of students. The time for the election of offic.::rs has been changed to an early date in spring, so that they may be better prepa red to take up the more difficult work among the new students in the fall. Other means which have materially aided the leade.-s in their work ha\·e been the yarious conventions which they have attended , including the Presidents' Convention at Dickinson College, the Tri-State Convention at Wilmington, and the famous Northfielcl Conference. We have also received many encouragements and starts along new lines from our visitors, 98 If our labors have resulted in 110 open de..:larations for Christ, it is because haye not cared to express in that way the actions of the Divine Soirit upon their own souls. We have made an advance upon the lives of some who, we must humbly confess, have been disregarded . There are those who have silently made the start to live for Christ. ma~y The association has steadily ~)rospered for the past four years, and no better testimonial is needed than the higher standard of living among the majority of our students. But we do not claim faith in our own strength. Our short-comings have been many, our ideals have not been reached, and for the further increase in garnering the wheat for His kingdom, we send up to Heaven an earnest petition: "Lord, h elp us do Thy work." The officers elected April, 1901, to serve for the ensuing year are as follows; President, E lliott H. Hutchins; Vice-President, Vernon S. Bradley; Recording Secretary, Amos W. Woodcock ; Corresponding Secretary, Walton H . Grant; Treasurer, Benjamin A. Bryan. 99 �I l LIEUT. ELLWOOD W. EVANS Officers Stationed at St. John's from 1884-1901. 1884-' 87. Lieut . C. W .

While we did not win the championship of the league, we made the game with Hopkins-our strongest rival-intensely interesting. And no team that we played was able to score more than 6 points against us . Foot-ball. WHEN the foot-ball season of 1900-'01 opened, we were in doubt as to what degree of success the team would attain, owing to the fact that there were several vacant positions formerly held by graduates of the class of 'oo, and among the new men there were apparently very few to select from. Notwithstanding our light weight, we had the hardest schedule that had been arranged for a St. John's team for many years previous. Yet, under the leadership of our gallant c~ptain-a man of great vim-and under Prof. Cain's valuable coaching, we knew no such thing as fail. But, stimulated by the true college spirit which always characterizes St. John's athletes, we pressed on to what we call success. The first day Captain Wisner appeared on the field at the head of his team , he demonstrated his ability to command men. He also knew how to instill in them the spirit of the game. Not by trying to drive them, but, learning a better method by experience in former years, he resorted to it and led them. Not once during the entire season did the writer hear a murmur of complaint from the team men. In the game with Georgetown who, near the close of the season defeated University of Virginia by a score of 10 to o, we held them down to 6 points, and they were made in the first five minutes of play; after that our men, the line especially, stood like a wall and resisted bravely the onslaughts of GeorgetJwn, with her terrible guards-back formation. On a clear frosty morning in October our team left Annapolis for a short trip north. After travehpg for two or three hours we arrived at a little village in Pennsylvania, where, on a beautiful sloping campus, Swarthmore College stands. As we marched up to the dormitory a Swarthmore man was heard to say, "They are a crowd ofboys." We know nothing else to which this deception could be attributed than the close fitting of our uniforms, for we surely did prove that we were not boys in the game. From the attitude they bore towards us it was evident they were not expecting a hard fight. But when the ball was put in play our men went into the game with their strongest efforts. In the first play Captain Wisner rushed through guard and tackle for four yard.s; then Wells followed in the second rush for as many; then Spates went around the left side of our line for a good gain. This was continued until we lost the ball on our opponent's ten-yard line. Swarthmore's big guards were almost more thar. we could hold when they used their guards-back formation, but we finally succeeded in getting possession of the ball before they were able to get it over the goal-line for a touch down, and with the hard rushes of our half-backs, together with the remarkably good work of our line men, long gains were made through the guards and tackles. Then we tried the guards-back formation, and it worked excellently. In a ..;hort time, by using good head-work, we made the first touchdown, but failed to kick goal. After this, Swarthmore took a decided brace, and the game was more interesting. They made a touchdown in the latter part of the game, but failed to kick goal; consequently, the score was 5 to 5 at the end of the game. It has been said that "in unity there is strength." This has been proved true by our team during the past season. The old men on the team deserve much credit for the way in which they supported the captain. All dissensions that might have arisen had the men not been firm in their purpose, were put down at once; and each man worked for one purpose-to gain honors for our noble institution. Nor was this spirit prevalent among the members of the team only, but it p~rmeated the air around St. John's, and all of the students contributed to our success by encouraging rather than discouraging us. We appreciate highly the services of Prof. Cain as head coach, and believe our success, to a great extent was the result of his untiring efforts to make our work measure up to the standard set by the team of '89. when we were champions of the south. Our men, having confidence in their captain, and the honor of the institution at heart, it was not a difficult matter to get them to train faithfully; and every precaution was taken t'1 put them in the pink of condition . On October 27 we played Gettysburg College at Gettysburg. The game was one of much excite~ent, and, although our goal was in danger several times, the same was the case wiJh our opponent. The result of the game was, neither side scored. November 27 we met the representatives of our sister college, Western M uyland, on the fiei.d. The rivalry between the athletes of the two institutions brought out a large drowd of rooters and friends to see the game. At first the Western Maryland boys stubbornly resisted any attempt on our part to break 116 II7 �their line; but finally had to submit to the Inevitable. and our backs rushed between guard and center at will. Even towards the end of the game, when our team was composed mostly of substitutes. we broke through their line and gained the n :quired yards without fail. The final score was 41 too, in our fa\·or. We do not claim that our team of 1900-'or was as strong as the great team·s of '89 and '97; but we do say that we fought as hard to maintain the standard· set by them as they did to obtain it.. In summing up the success of our team, we cannot afford to allow the opportunity to pass without considering the services of our worthy manager, Mr. Cobleutz. He exerted every effort to make the team comfortable; and managed financial affairs in such a manner that, although the Athletic Association was behind at the beginning of t!.e season, it had a surplus at the dose. Thus, the foot-ball season of t9oo-'or ended with the colors of the Orange and Black still waving triumphantly aloft, the colors under which some of the most prominent athletes of our country have fought. . Mr. W. 0. Spates, of .Montgomery county, has been elected captain for tlte of 1901-'02. sea~on The Hopkins Game. o u R GREATEST Foot-Ball game of the seasvn was played on Nov. 24 with Johns Hopkins University. While we were somewhat disappointed by not winning the game, yet it was a recogtoized fact that we were outweighed considerably. Without doubt Hopkins did her utmost both in getting out the best team that they could; and putting up a hard fight on the field. Our men put up a fine game, but the team, and the backs especially, were too light for the heavy men from Hopkins. J. H. U. arrived in the morning accompanied by a large band of rooters. The men went immediately to a room where they could lie down and rest. But there was no idea of rest in their rooters; fullowing an invitation of a drum corps, led by their physical director, Mr. MacDermott, they marched through the town, back and forth over the campus, and reinforced by 'another band-who arrived in the afternoon-they marched to the athletic field and stationed themselves on the north side. In the meantime the St. John's men were quiet, giving full possession of the college grounds to their guests. But when the time for action came, our rooters, with their tin pans, drums, horns and everything accessible that would contribute to swell the noise, formed on the parade ground and marched to the field, singing to the tune "Blue and the Grey." The Orange and Black, and the Black and Blue, on the gridiron meet today. Old Hopkins thinks that she has a cinch, but it'll not turn out that way; Our heroes bold, will take it past their goal, while their hearts will fill with pain , As they go away they'll be heard to say we'll never go there again. CHORUS: Old Hopkins' heart is filled with sadness, They lost the game today. Old St. John's is filled with gladness, Their team has won the fray. 'Mid the yelling of the rooters, The pennant again came back, Old Hopkins never could play foot-ball With the Orange and the Black. 118 I 19 �'. They th en st ationed themselves on th e south side of the field, and with feverish impa tience awaited th e kick-off. During all thi s excitement the two tea ms we re quietly but cautio usly pr~paring the mseh·es fo r th e strugg le. Owing to the int e u~e ri valry tl.J.a t ex ists between th e '' Orange a nd Black ,'' . and th e ''B lack a nd Blue," thi s game was look ed fo rward to, no t on ly by the students of St. J o hn ' >', but a lso by the town people a 11d a g1ea t nwn y of the Alumni ; conseq uentl y a large crowd rapidly collected on th e fi eld to see the two tea ms meet. Th e Horkins team made its appearance on th e fi eld a t 2.35; and a sh OTt time after the gall a nt vva rriors of St. John ' s entered the ga te in a sw ift trot, leaped the rope, formed a circle and passed the ball arouud for a few minutes; during which thf' yells th a t went up from th e men o n the sid e liues seemed to shake the very earth itself; a nd thi s was continued during th e entire g.tme . It is need less to st at e th a t o ur men trained faithfully for this contest, for to th ose who noti ced how our li g ht backs ga ined ground aga inst th e heavier men of H opkins . it '"" as ev ident th a t they were in good conditiou. • At 2.45 the ga me was ca lled , St. J ohn 's kick ed off ; Hopkins received the ball, !.Jut was downed in h er track s. Th ey made a good gain through our lin e, and were g iven I I yard s fo r off-sid e play. They tnad e a few more rushes and then kicked ; St. Jo hn 's wa•: un able t o advance th e ball and returned the kick. Hopkin s m ade steady gai ns both through the line and aro und ends, but on the fifteen yard line th ey fumbled the ball. During the re maind er of the half the ball was in St. J ohn' s territory , a nd twice H opkin s h ad it on our fifteen yard line but were una ble t o acl\·ance it furth e r.

Of course the old fellows tried to be kind to him and make him feel at home, b~1t his confused ''yes, sirs," and "no, sirs," only made matters wc.rse, and it seemed a charity to kave him alone. He saw with wonder the way some of the new comers seemed to "ring in" with the old one .~. If h e could have heard behind the curtains a week afterward he would have known tht same jovial new ones were considered "entirely too d-n fresh.'' Much better it wa.;; for him that he did have his lonely time and bear it like a man . The Making of a Citizen. N E BRIGHT September morning some years ago, a lad ot sixteen summers sat on a trunk outside of a farm-house door, idly swinging his legs aiid gazing with sorrowful eyes at the fair country that stretched out bdore him. How he envied the peaceful cows that lay at ease in the barn-yard placidly chewing their cuds with neither hopes nor fear~; for the future. He wished he was the golden-throated lark which in a near by tree sang out clearly and sweetly his "cheer-a cheer-ee'' on the morning air. Why couldn't he stay with the horses and dogs? He would never forget his morning trips after squirrels; jumping out of bed before light, going out into the cool sweet air with his gun across his arm and coming home to breakfast with a well filled game-bag. But these were vain questions and idle musings; before him lay plain and clear the facts with which his father had ended his peaceful life. A week ago after a hard fight by his friends, a :-:cholarship had been awarded him snd now be was to go. Just to think of it; in one short hour he wa" to leave his father , his mother and all his boyish haunts, he felt nothing worse c0uld happen. O * * * * * Now his work had begun in earnest. The way wasn't smooth for Donald by any means, for he was slow to learn and very sensitive to ridicule. Many a morning he found himself biting his pencil and grinding his teeth in rage, trying to work an algebra problem long a fter the others had fini shed. Thanks to his pride, however, he never gave up but struggled through to the bitter end . * * When the evening train pulled into Annapolis, a crowd of boys swarmed down the car steps grasping the hands of the fellows who were there to meet them and plying each other with eager questions. "How have you spent the summer, Jim?" "Say, ar~ you going to play foot-ball this year?' ~ "How did you leave the girls in your town? " Donald was there too, but nobody asked him questions; be was all alone in his misery . His trousers barely covered his shoe-tops, and left to the keen public gaze the big feet that walked on a woman's skirt whenever an opportunity presented itself. Hi s round awkwad shoulders were bent more than ever by a heavy satchel and the freckled hands and face showed the effect of long days in the haying field. A couple of clear-eyes laughed at this rustic pictur·:: as Donald passed them, and that laugh was heard by him, and remembered too. That first night remained green in his memory forever. Everything looked new aud strange, just as he felt himself; not one of the others, but isolated from 1 28 The next ten days found D~mald trying hard to get broken in to the daily routine. Oh, 'twas a sad time for him at night. When he would have been going to bed at home he had to dig a\\ ay at his books. Time and time again he would find himself looking over his algebra at the electric light- thinking, thinking, thinking of the people ?.t home. After awhile, though, things began to look brighter. Something funny happened; he and his room-mate had a hea rty laugh and the ice was broken. They compared notes , and strange as it seemed to them, each had gone through the ,.,ame spell of heart-rending home-sickness, and for days had had the mad desire to take the next train for home. * * * * Freshman year was passed and Donald was bound for home . He looked much better than when he came to coliege. To be sure his coa t sleeves were as short as ever, and he couldn't pump out a word to a pretty girl , but so.J.e of the freckles were gone, hi s eyes looked clea rer and brig hter , and he took more interest in people and things. The ye:u had gone quickly after those firs t ten days. He had found that it makes the heart jump and the blood beat faster to be shoulder to shoulder with his fellow-man, while marching in ranks on the campus, drilling with rythm of movement in the gymnasium or mixed in the panting, struggling mass on the foot-ball field. His father met him at the boat that night, and the drive home in the cool of the evening with the horse pulling at the bit all brought back fond recollection s and made him the more anxious to see the old home again. Soon the welcome bark of the dogs was heard, and in another minute he was in his mother's arms, 9 �He could hardly believe his eyes; how small the house looked. He had thought the rooms at home so large, but now they appeared anything but commodious. Donald was a little afraid of his mother at first ; he hadn't seen her for so long; she seemed almost as terrible as that fearless-looking , brown-eyed girl who had made him blush so in a book-store over in Annapolis. He told his mother about that girl afterwards, and was very . >arcastic about how much self-possession young < girls bad now-a-days. Poor fellow, he wa~ trying to pretend he didn't care for girls, but his mother only smiled quietly to herself. * * * * * * Sophomore aml Junior years flew with the swiftness that comes from regular hours an.d the knowledge of work that has to be done- work from which there is · no escape. To be sure during the first term of his second year, Donald didn't put forth his best efforts. It was with him as it is so often with young men in every walk of life; after they know they CAN do their work they beget a kind of con tempt for it. Donald got into the habit of going into other fellows' rooms during study hours, and listening to thoo·e who scorned books and. spent their time "seeing something of the world" :ts they put it. He would promise himself a long Saturday morning's work on geometry·, but when the week had rolled away and the fellows were preparing for a Saturday morning' s excursion after apples he would say to himself : ''This is t;he time for fun; I will 'bone' hard ever¥ night next week''. Then again our hero had joined a dancing class, and much to his confusion, met that brown-eyed girl again, and actually said a few words t0 her. She wasn't at all bashful, and seeing Donald's embarrassment, said some very soothing things to him, oyer which he pondered long and deeply. One thing pleased him above all others ; she used to insist he was a great flirt; at this the poor boy would blush and begin to think himself really a heart-breaker. Donald, like other bashful youths, passed through the three stages of learning the art of conversation. At first he didn ' t feel able to pump out a word; then going to the other extreme he would make silly remarks and laugh immoderately at them. After awhi le he felt really at his ease and could talk as sensibly as the average man. Among his schoolmates Donald made som e real friends. They were fellows who ,c;;eemed to have something back of them. They were not men that professed distrust in everything. Not the men who were always wailing about the decline of college prestige, sneering at the military department, and consequently shirk. ing drill whenever opportunity offered , but they were of the class which is the backbone of every progressive college. They were men, who, without advertising their virtues, did all they could to uphold the fair name of their Alma +later. Men who played foot-ball, put in a gond weeks' work at their books, and when 130 Friday night came, went with pleasure to their society, or took in a hop at the gymnasium, and made themselves agreeable to the belles of the evening. These same men are tolerant of the failings of others, and consequently, when a crisis comes in college affai rs, and they step to the front, they are supported · by a band of hackers who have been won by the energy and manliness of the men they support. Some of these friends of Donald's gave him good advice when they saw him neglecting his books, as he did the first term of his Sophomore year. ''My boy," said an upper-classman, "no doubt your first glimpse of society in general, and of a certain girl in particular, has opened your eyes to a happy existence of which you were ignorant before. Take my advice, though, and see only enough of that side of life to make you feel it is a privilege to enjoy it; at least do this until the end of your Junior year. Girls will like you all the better, if they know, that although you think them very charming, something comes before even them. At the end of your Senior year, when you h ea r your friends inquiring how the honors are going. you will not be ashamed of your standing. I am no preacher, but I want you to know. I. my ,;elf, have had these e::.::periences, and, thanks to the advice of an older friend, I pullf'd out better than I deserved. In your meditations think over what I have said. " it was very easy for Donald to think of doing better, but when study hour came and he slipped dnwn to Miss H-'s, he was glad he had made no rash promises to reform. At the end of the month, however, a letter from his father made him spend some very restless nig-hts. His report ~ad gone home with anything- but a creditable showing. awl hi s father was very much worried over it. ''Can it be possible that my son has fallen into bad habits?'· the latter said . Donald .did get back to work , but the tug was a hard one and cost him many nightly struggles. * * * * * * It was almost over now, never to come again. Senior year had come as quickly as the others had gone. Donald's dignity now was amazi ng to those who had remembe red the awkward Fre:ihnun- the butt of pretty girls, and the prey of loquacious mammas. Two years of good hours and regul<\r exercise had squared his shoulders, set his chin up and shaped the once awkward body to be erect and symmetrical. Dancing had given him a free carriage that counteracted somewhat the stiff military bearing. What physical work had done for the body, intellectual training haJ done for the mind . Donald could talk now with a fair amount of sense and self-possession, and, though he would color up in a critical moment, yet he woulq IJI �pass society's inspection very we11. He wa:; glad indeed, that he had bad sense enough to take advice from older fellows. Country fellows when they come to college generally take one of two courses. Between these two there is seldom compromise. The one, ashamed of his rustic origin, soon assumes a jaunty air, smokes an inordinate number of cigarettes .md scorns to spend time 011 his books. He readily accepts a disbelief in everything, and is very much offe11ded if some fellow calls him "Farmer." When ~enior y('ar comes, if it ever does come to this type of college man, we find him six days out of a week in bed at nine in the morning, and on bright afternoons cooped up in his room, puffii11g a cigarette and readi11g "Nick Carter's Latest." The other country fellow goes in for athletics. Although he is guyed very much at first, fellows are careful how far they go with him, and, when he does somethit1g well they are as glad as he is. Such fellows are not always popular 111 the batallion. They don't do as the privates like; they don't joke with the Freshmen; when they have command of a compa11y, though, the men know it. Thanks to good counsel, our hero had taken the latter course , and we have seen how efficient a man he has proved to be. Those last days were full of charm, 1.nd the greatest charm of all was Miss H-. Donald and she had often laughed over their first meeting; for strange to say-how flattered he was--she had remembered it and often tplcl the incident to other girls in Donald's presence. In the under-class years his only excuse for not being more attenti\·e was ''I've got to study." Now th. t he had nothing to a do, he was, I fear, really in a bad way. The commeucement exercises, the round of hops and other gaieties afforded an opportunity for putting in some very pleasant "work" with what results I wouldn't like to say. But when the train pulled out the day after the Alumni banquet, he thought that some time in the future he would be justified in coming back to the quaint old town and, andbut anticipations do not aiways come true, so, perhaps, we are safe in saying good-bye to them and wishing them good luck for the future. The Sun God. are calm days, with cloudless skies, T HEREgentle zephyrswith gorgeous dyes, The sleep, The sun god floods The broad land and the deep. There sounds no bell, no clarion peal, No roar of rattling gun, You hear no sound, yet you can feel, His glorious work begun. He walks majestic like a god, Through the wide realms of space, The morning star flees at his noel, And forthwith hides her face. He wakes anew the sleeping world, And dries night ' s glist ' ning tears, With glowing splendors wide u11furled, He dissipates life's cares. There follow close his golde11 rays, The seasons, with their trai11, The birth and death of nights and days, The blossom and the grain. About within his living flame, Dear nature doth require, The world itself; its mighty frame, Is nurtured by his fire. No wo11der then in days of old, Men sought him as divine, Poured out their incense and their gold, And worshipped at his shrine. God made the sun and bade him shine, Vice-gerent of earth and air, God is the Lord; He is divine, Kneel thou to Him in prayer. -EDWIN HIG G INS. IJ2 133 �First Ten Days of a Freshman. PR?BABLY one of the most exciting, but far from the most agreeable times Ill a college man's career, is his first ten days' experience as a Freshman. He seems to feel that every one is looking upon him as a rare specimen of rusticity, such as they have never seen before. During the first three or four days he is alone, he feels as if he would like to tie himself to his mother's apron strings and never leave them again. He studies, reads, takes long walks, and tries in every way to shake off his attack of home-sickness. When the poor, fellow assembles with the other students in the chapel for the first time, he is surprised at the apparent disrespect of the older boys for the President. He soon finds, howen:r, that it is not disrespect, but joy at meeting again within the old walls that have sheltered them the year before. The examination in ''math.'' is scheduled to take place at nine o'clock this morning. He must inquire in what room this is to be held, and often has a hard time in finding out, as one man tells him to go to the third floor, another to the first, and he is finally allowed to find it himself when he is half an hour late. When he comes from the examination, he rel{ret~ that it has not taken him longer, as it would have occupied his mind and he would not have a chance to get home-sick. At the table he is shocked at the way in which the boys behave and thinks, "if mama only knew, she wouldn't let me stay here ." At three o'clock he goes out on the foot-ball field to watch the practice, and wonders what good it does for the men to be falling on the ball and tackling each other instead of lining uo. After the practice he takes a walk over to the Government Farm and back, and then it is supper time. After supper he takes a great deal of interest in the mail and wonders if he is ever going to hear from home, forgetting that a letter has scarcely had time to reach him since he left. At half-past six he is invited to attend a meeting of the "Pinkney Glee Club," at which, if he goes, his voice is tried, an.d if he is especially proficient as a singer (?) he is elected vice-president of the ''Club''. If his voice does not suit his audience, he is requested to make love to himself in the lookingglass. If he does not do this to the satisfaction of the crowd he is politely asked to root a cent from a basin of water with his nose. Of course it is a very pleasant sensation to have his eyes and mouth full of water, especially if some one has just washed his hands in that water. 134 About four days after the opening of college he begins to get acquainted with the ways of the place and with his compa11ions in misery-his classmates. One night he i::; aroused from his peaceful slumbe-s by a squad of sheeted forms and is commanded to stand at attention and listen to the reading of the rules . He is frightened nearly out of his wits at the thought of his narrow escat)e from the dreaded Sophs., and cannot get to sleep again that night for fear they will change their minds and pay him another visit . Every day he is annoyed by seeing posters announcing meetings of the G. 0 . H., and he becomes so nen·ous that he jumps in his sleep at the ~lightest sound. Finally the fatal night arrives but he does not hear the faintest foot-fall. He is awakened by a hand resting lightly on his shoulder and a gentl e voice tellin g him to arise . He is hustled into the hall, where he sees a band of his frighteued classmates, and he , with them, is soon surro~nded by a mob uf Sophs. They are taken to the gym . and there his fun begins. He is made to drink a glass of water while standing on his head, for the amusement of his tormentors, and if one drop is spilled, the dose must be repeated. Then he and anotht-r victim must give :m exhibition of boxing , and if they fail to hit each other hard enough to sati~fy the grim figures behind them , armed with slats, they are given a reminder with some of these weapons. bf course this is not a form of hazing, as that is a very serious matter and strictly forbidden, and the Sophs. wouldn ' t do s uch a thing for fear of being shipped. After hal{ an hour's good exercise in chasing a smile around the horse and making love to its legs, he is permittted to return to his room without molestation. In the morning he dares not complain, as he is warned the night before that if any complaint is made he will suffer bitter pangs of remorse. He writes to his parents that he is as well as could be wished, and describes at great length the most trifling occurrences. The subject of his night's experiences, however, he keeps silent, as he knows the boys have no regard for any one who tells tales. By this treatment he is made to realize that he is only an atom in the world and that he must respect his upper-classmen. Although the dose is a hard one to swallow, and a very bitter one, he is better fitted for the real struggles of college life. IJ 5 �A Memory. wE St. John's Book Party.

Corporals and privates whose i.rousers were usually as baggy as a maid's skirts on a windy day, were now g lancing with pride at the seams which ran as straight as a die from thigh to the shoe lace. There were a few girls at the train to see us off, but we thank the gods that guard the college boy's reputation that only Patrick Mace anrl a few other intimate friends met us when we rolled into Annapolis at r a. m ., next morning. Our trip over to the Capital was uneventful enough except one incident ; the engine stopped to ''water up ," and one of the fellows ~tarted up a flirtation with a rustic lass, who was sitting in the door-way of a small house about fifteen yards from the track, paring potatoes. He swore eternal fidelity, she declared she wanted some peanuts. which were straightway bought for her ; at thi s juncture, lwwe\·er, the engine whistled, and thus a romance was nipped in the bud. We were met at the B. & 0 . depot by a company of gallant young fellows in blue and escorted to an armory, where we stacked arms. We cannot thank Major Cissel enough for the quarters he secured us, for tnily, girls were on all sides; one or two fair maids hung so far out of an opposite window that we were in suspense lest they should fall; afterwards, however, we learned they had used the patent foot attachment, much used by the " rubber necks" in the tenement houses of our large cities. Overhead were a number of factory girls, but alas ! our high collars were again in the way, and the sentimental looks that some of us tried to throw upward were turned to expressions of pai•1 and angui<;h. Soon, however, our romantic feelings were replaced by emotions more difficult to deal with. Notwithstanding that, we had a great deal to occupy our minds, and some even imagined their hearts to be touched b?' a girl with a "little snub nose." Our stomachs came to the front with a bound. and became immediately the "centres" of interest . Once more our commanding officer shower! his knowledge of men, by serving us with lunch at his expense, and thereby reaching our hearts by way of our stomachs. We formed about half-past two, and marched away to Pennsylvania avenue, stopping in a side street to await our place in the procession. When we halted M. A. C. happened to be directly in front of us and at attention. As soon as rest was given, we, forgetting M. A. C. boys were at attention, made a dive for the fellows we knew ; on the spur of the moment they likewise forgot; we were h:\ving an animated conversation, when quick as a {\ash, the Captain of M.A. C.'s Company, with a short, stern order, brought his men to attention, 137 �and all of u s look ed like school boys caught st ealing g r apes . Soon , however, we wheeled into Pennsylvania a venue, a nd the parade moved forward. If it did not t ake self-control tha t day to look stra ig ht to the front instead of at the sea o f pretty faces th at lin ed the sidewalks on both sides, we pray we may never be put to the test. You may ask very pertinently if we didn't look, how did we know th ey were there? We were ' 'indefinably conscious' ' as the say ing goes. A fellow a lways is w hen a pretty g:rl is around , and he a lways thinks she is looking at him, too. If the girls tha t cheered our colors that clay (St . J ohn 's alone had Maryland colors ) were th e same th at we saw on Monument Hill th a t nig ht , it is still more of a wonder th a t our h eads were not turned that balmy aftern oon . Now, wh en we came to '·Bi ll " McKinley's reviewing stand we all, by common co nse nt , stole a g la nce at hi s au g ust majesty, and one of our drummer boys, I am as ha n1 ed t o say , walked backward until his Excellency faded from VleW. We got back to the a rm ory about 4.30, stack ed arms and then sallied forth on a foraging expedi ti on . After gettin g a wash a nd a good ~uppe r , we met on Monument Hill to see the fireworks. It was a musing to see tbe fellows fall v ictim s to the wiles of Washington's fair d a ug hters tb a t nig ht . They were at first div ided into three squads, but one by one th ey wn nld catch sig ht of a pretty face--a face th at see med t o say "I dare you" -and wo uld disappear to meet th eir fate. We h ad our sad experience , howe\·er. One p recocious youngster, thinkin g all W ashin g ton g irls alike we re susceptible t o his ch arms , advanced boldly on two refined lookin g misses, hmved, extended hi s h and , and said confid en tl y, "Is it possible you have forgot! en me?'' He received a look he h as not forgotten to this day, and the elder gi rl sa id , "If you don' t wa nt yo ur face slapped, you'd better clear out of this. " Our h ero cleared. Another vai n yout h , \\·hile strutting abo ut with a couple of g irls, r an against a colored woman, a nd to hi ~ horror and disgust, fo und himself clasped to her bosom, while a fond vo ice ex cl a imed , "Don ' t you know yo ur honey, baby? " She h ad been hi s old nurse down in Annapolis, b ut this ston y-b edrted youngster, alth o ugh he recogni zed her , cursed her for a drunk en old fool, and, if be only had known it. came nearer to bre1king a bla.:k hea rt than be had ever been to breaking a white one. Thu s the happy hours fled swiftly by, and our hearts were heavy indeed when th e time came for u s to break away from our pleasures and burry back to the armory. All the fellows but one, answered roll-call, and the steady tramp of our feet was soon h eard on Washin g ton's now q uiet thoro ug hfares. Fifteen minutes later we had reached the B . & 0. sta tion and were speeding away for St. J ohn 's on the Severn. A "Mole's" Eye View of College Life. FROM my burrow down here on the first floor I see college life with an unbiased mind; a mind devoi d of the hopes and the fea r s, the enthusiasm and dtprE'ssions that run through the lives of my fellow- s tudents . In the pale light of morning, when all the drones are lost in heavy slumber, I a m up and at my books; digg ing, digging, digging for the knowlecige that will make me as g reat as tha t ho nored s tatesman for whom I am na med , Daniel Webster him self. What is foot-ball or base-ball to me ? The hero of today' s ga me is forgotten tomorrow, and the crowd, the fickle, idol-~·orshiping crowd, is cheerin~ for a nother. Not so in the class-room: here it is not necessarily the fortune-fayored one that shines. A worker has a chance to be a peer ::tmong his associates. e,·en if he has not the most brilliant of intellects. When I see the fellows strugg-ling with their high collars on Saturday nights, I smile quietly to myself and only dive a little deeper iuto my "Math." Ye~, they enjoy it. perhaps , and so do the girls, I hope . A pleasure if you will have it so, but a fleeting one at best. When they come home la te and find me still at my "Analytic," they smile among themselves and, I expect, say to tach other, '·poor dev il." But I wonder who has gotten the best results out of that nightI wonder who. S· 1 it is with each phase o f college life-our college life that is fleeting so fa st. Who h as taken the better co urse, m y .comrades or myself I ca nnot tell. Time only will te ll.

M. C. A. MEN FREE. 140 T HE CLERKS of one of Baltimore 's large dry goods stores were yawning- behind their counters, and inwardly congratulating them selves that Saturday had come at last. Suddenly the big glass plated door sw ung slowly back, and a young man of very imposing appearance strode up to the ribbon counter with a look on his face that one wuuld have expected to see only on a war,rior going into battle. Now our hero' s face assumed an embarrassed air, but with a supreme effort of self-control he leaned over and said c·o nfidentially to the nearest girl, '', an I c get a robe de nuit?" The g irl looked at him blankly, thought a second , and sa:id to herself, "he don't look like :1 green-horn, but he certainly sa id something about wheat; I must have been mistaken thoug h , h e looks too well-dressed. Meanwhile the cause of this confusion had seen the attention he was attracting from the other clerks, and his embarrassment grew apace. When the g irl said she did not understand him, he got rather mixed up. "Why, yes, ma'am; yes indeed , he said, but can I buy a robe de nuit?" '' No, sir; we don ' t sell wheat, that 's certain,'' said the maiden with a laugh. He could stand it no longer , but with wild glance around at the gazing crowd he blurted out, '·Madam, I want a night gown." The sky-light took up the sound, it seemed to reverberate through the second, third and fourth stories, and then to come floa ting down the elevator shaft and to sound again on the first . " Oh, a night gown ," said the ribbon-counter girl sweetly, "why sure; second counter down to your left." a �His First Reception. A VAPOR.Y MYTH. Who smokes to fancie!<, Oh he is free! Come, my good fellow, and smoke with me, With a cheery heart and a sparkling eye We'll laugh at our jests as the hour goes by, We'll muse .. n power and wealth and fame, We'll muse on the beauty we s<:e in the flame, We'll muse on hope, hut never on c:tre, We'll muse while they all dissipate in the air, We'll think of the future till morning's light; Nor dream for it naught but that that's bright. For these are the rings in our smoke we whiffed, And those are the rings which our sorrows lift. Now smoke to ideals, mv friend be true, For in smoke I see ''castles of Spain,'' don't you? From the rosy west till the roses of dawn, 'Tis but a puff and a deep hearty yawn. Lo! I 1 is day; be up and about For opportunity is long on the route. Who smokes to a habit is habit's slave, He cares for nothing but cravings to slave, Who smokes to fancy alone is free ; Come my good fellow and smoke with me. --Cizas. H. MacNabb . THIS FRESHMAN'S MOTHER had told him to make some friends outside of the college walls during his hours of recreation; so when his friend, the Soph. asked him one night to go to the Governor's reception, next day he thought his Excellency's wife might h elp him in his business, and decided to go. He hadn ' t time to think of it next day until his friend came to his room and told him to get ready. The idea assumed a different aspect now, and if he hadn ' t been ashamed to " flunk" before an upper-classman, the society people of Annapolis would have missed a treat that day. At four-thirty that afternoon our Freshman entered the Gubernatorial Mansion, closely watching his friend, the Sop h ., who preceded him. He thought the door-keeper looked at him very closely, and notwithstanding he had committed. no crime, his kuees began to tremble. The next moment he was in a room blazing with electric lights, and his friend was introducing him to a stout handsome woman. This was the one person he had wished to conciliate, but he could not pump out a word, and stood staring at his hostess, all his presence of mind gone, and feeling as though he had ' 'cannon to right of him , cannon to left of him , cannon behind him." This hero of ours had effectually blocked the social game for awhile. The line of men behind him wondering why the confounded youngster didn't move, surged forward and pressed close against him, but all to no purpose. Happily at this crisis, Mrs. Governor's eye caught the situation, and she said very winningly, "Come to the other side of the room, won't you, and be introduced to my daughter." In two quick bounds he was across the room and had reached the debutante before the mother had started. There he was]Je trified again, and gazing with bulging eyes at the charming Miss, and thank God ! Here was the mother at last. After a stiff bow our Freshman bolted for the supper-room, and ran into an immaculate old gentleman, who was on his way out. The scared boy apologized profusely, but not waiting for an answer he was soon mixed in the crowd around the supper table. Where was his friend? Why didn't he come to his help! He would make a dash for the door , but there was his hostess to pass. A waiter with sandwiches * * * 143 �r passed at this juncture; our hero had no plate, but he couldn t refuse such a polite man, and took two with a gasping "thank you"' Just then his friend caught sight of him and brought him a plate of salad. How the sand witches and salad disappeared could not be imagined unless we make some reference to greased lightning. He felt di stinctly better now , and really had the nerve to look at a girl on the other side of the table. Just as o•tr hopeful was getting back his full swing of reason, he fdt a tug at his elbow , and soon he and his friend were saying good-bye to Mrs. - -, and declaring " what an awfully nice time they had had." A second later they were in the street, and his firs t reception was over. The Making of a Hero. "Some men are born great, some achieve g rea tness, a nd some have greatness thru st upon them.''

Then, the _parson preachfd his sermons from high pulpits made of pine To his stately congregations wearing cues and crinoline; And the ringing of the church bells on those peaceful Sabbath days Seem'd to strike a chorded ether in sweet, solemn sounds of praise. There was then no evening paper-no ''urchin blasts'' to sound The startling information on which "true bills" could be found; And the people paid the taxes upon all that they possessed, Scorning any opposition to their being reassessed.

The record of this team of stars has b('en concealed from the public heretofore, but a few remarks might be of assistance to students matriculating in 1902. Daniels behind the bat does all that can he expected of him His art in catching students napping has been well illustrated. His hits (in the class-room) carry terror to the opposing infielders, so slow and hard to get hold of are they. Chew, the south-paw, from we don't know where, has fooled some of our best batsmen. His choice collection of curves, such a!:l cork-screw, inshoots, and snakey twisters, have been the destruction of such men men as Tubby Aftung, 150 It has been said by Alumni who have long battled against this team, that Short-Stop Pusey has been the cause of more . goose-eggs on the students score card than all the remajning eight put together. We will acknowledge he is strictly in the game, and we advise next year's Freshman to play a safe game. Soho and Cissel in ~ight and Centre Fields cover a great deal of ground, but like Catcher Daniels, can't make a hit, unless the students see something to be gained by it. Major Thompson in left, is a new man, and though he repeatedly fans the atmosphere, with three men on bases, yet his knowledge of tactics enables !lim to judge a fly ball with the utmost exactness. �Baker, Beard, Bradley, Bradford, Beatty, Blecker, Enlisted Men , Crane, Clarke, Despard, Dougherty, Garey, Galbreath; ' ' JacksonhA,.f~.i\. , ,, . ., Burrough~ .'- D ..!W\, Petherbridge, Randall, Reed , Rohrer, Seward, Seth, Townshend. t"\~ Company 11 B , .

That night in my room in Pinkney Hall We talked the game over- one and all ; Till one thoughtless youth was heard to bawl, "By Gad! if we'd only known the time so small, And just fi ,re seconds to play." When "ifs" ••nee start they come in a pouring And we worked our brains to the point of roaring, With if this and if that, while entirely ignoring The clear, simple fact 1hat the ball was pushed o'er in But five seconds to play. Our voices grew loud and our tempers grew hot, 'Till an infuriated Junior (oh! pity his lot) Struck out at random and hit the right spot, · When he pasted a man who was saying ''damn rot This discussion ahout five seconds to play." The rough-house that followed was unprecedented, For the men of all classes, now thoroughly demented, Rushed at their neighbors (too late they repented) And each with a head the wood-work they dented, While the wind outside sohbed in a voice d;scontented, Only fi\·e seconds to play. Take this as a warning: You must keep well under Any desire to repeat that terrible blunder, And to raise a storm accompanied by thunder, As caused by the youth who was heard to wonder If there WERE only five seconds to play. 155 �Nov. r Dec Calendar of Events. 1901. 1900.

Perhaps, no vocation better exemplifies this characteristic of man than the life of the average student; and it is only natural that this should be true. The student comes .into close contact with many different natures, and unconsciously bends to adapt himself to the characteristics of his associates. This explains why it is detrimental to place one's self within the influence of evil natures, and why it is beneficial for the evil-minded person to seek the pure and noble for companions; for the thought and action of the crowd will generally be in accord with the will of the majority. However, in the life of the student, although he may have kept apace with the "crowd without a thought of his actions , there comes a time when his · thoughts revert to his past actions, and he really thinks in a serious vein. As a rule, the time when this serious mood takes possession of the student is just before retiring. The pressure of his daily cares is relieved; that fit of merriment expelled; and he begins to think soberly about his present life, and speculates as to what the misty future will bring forth. No doubt , if those who are so ready to accuse the college boy of insincerity could know his thoug hts at these particular times, they would not be so ready to make such bold accusations about them . In this. time of calm reflection, the injunction of a careful father, of a loving·'mother, pass before his mind and leave there impressions unmeasurable . His ambition is stirred. That slumbering sense of honor begins to assert itself, and he resolves to do nothing on the coming day that would in any way reflect discredit upon himself or his college. For those who have been pierced by Cupid 's dart, this time is a sweet balm to their weary minds. The gentle voice of their adored yet rings in their ears with accents unmistakable. Those plans for future happiness, made in the moments when two hearts were striving for a common end, come before him; and in silent bliss he drinks deep from the crystal fountain of true love. !64 He then realizes that every act of his life will, in some way, affect his future career. He is impressed with the great truth that anything he does, which tends to impair his character, necessitates the expenditure of at least that much energy in the proper direction before his character is as good as it was at the time he committed the wrong. With such facts staring him in the face, what would anyone do but take the only rational view ; and resolve, in the future , to make the most of his opportunity. Oh! but you say, "the s tudent may thus reflect and then make his good resolutions ; but why does he, perhaps on the very next day, do things that are in direct opposition to the essentials for a successful and happy life ? '' Human nature is a peculiar thing, and it is often difficult to even explain onr own actions; so we would not :tttempt to explain some of those apparent antithesis. However, in general, we might say that the ups and downs of life so counteract the resolutions determined upon by careful reflection as to make one feel that life is hardly worth the living, and with the mind running in s uch a channel, a person is liable to do most anything. As a rule, those foolish capers and acts of rowdyism or even vandalism in dulged in by students are the result of the spontaneo us outburst of the humorous side of their natures. One fellow will suggest a thing which, in itself, would be a mere innocent joke; another may join in that, and go a step farther; and, by the time the last one has added his S!Iggestion, the pla n has become one that might be classed as vandalism. Often, when the very boys that engage in its execution reflect upon its results, they are astonished at their own lack of forethought. Sometimes the very fact that they have engaged in something of the sort makes them reflect soberly about their life, and in this way helps them; for when you have made the student think seriously, you have given him an essential attribute to success. Many boys have had but little responsibility thrown upon them before leaving home, and, therefore, have had no necessity for good sober thought. As a matter of fact, when such a boy is sent away to school and thrown upon his own resources, could you justly expect him to exercise the carefulness of a Gladstone, or the wisdom of Solomon? But yet people who are training their own children in that way, are ready to criticise other people's children for doing exactly what their own would do if placed unJer the same conditions. When the training of the average child is considered, we are almost amazed even at the results now attained. Parents, if you wish your children to exercise good judgment when away from home, don't fail to see that they have an opportunity for applying their judgment while under your care. Do not think the advice you give your chilI65 �dren counts for naught, even though you see no immediate results. A child's memory is a veritable storehouse, and when he is in a mood for deep reflection he will draw on this storehouse for food. If it is empty, what must be the result? Mental starvation, or worse. He will take the advice of all those with whom he comes in contact; and pity him if he gets with evil associates. If you have carefully trained your child while he was under your care have no fear for him at college. Though he is not doing as well as yon n·onld like, and though his reports show that his condnct has not been the best, remember that many trials and temptations beset his way; and be consoled by the fact, that perhaps for the hundredth time he has been aided by yonr admonitions while he sits meditating under the electric li ght. Who? W H O STEPS along with a lordly stride As if he owned this world so wide, Nor would not stop whate'er betide? 'Tis G-r-y· Who always stops with anxious fear When at your door he doth appear, As if to say, "May I enter here"? 'Tis Cr- -k. Who never has to go to drill But blows the bugle fit to kill , .And makes a rough-house with a will? 'Tis R-h--r. Who has his heart pierced through and through By every girl he meets anew, But has his heart soon mended, too ! 'Tis Br-s--e. Who always tries to preach to you About this, that an' th' other you ought to do, But only converts a very few? 'Tis H-t----s. -Who from the college did steal afar Ne'er thinking his reputation to mar, But a note to come home he received from his pa? 'Tis Sel---n.

(Written by Dr. John Shaw, Class of 1796, S. J. C.) The _ ancient tree, autumnal storms assail, Thy shattered branches spread the sound afar; Thy tall head bows before the rising gale, Thy pale leaf flits along the troubled air. No more thou hoastful of thy vernal bloom, ' Thy withered foliage glads the eye no more; Yet, still, thy presence on thy lonely gloom, A secret pleasure to my soul restores. For round thy trunk my careless childhood stray'cl When fancy led me cheerful o'er the green, And many a frolic feat beneath thy shade, •• Far distant days and other suns have seen. Fond recollection kindles at the view And acts each long departed scene anew. 170 171 �· · · The Ideal Loafers Club. The Rough-House Club.

Introduction CCORDING to the custom establi shed here in 1897, th e class of 1903 has, in this, its Junior yea r, undertaken the stupendous task of publi shing a Rat Tat. As a resul t of our labor, we offer this book to our kind patron s and to the liberal public as th e "fiTst fmi ts of them that sle pt" (w hen th ey should have been writin g). You mi g ht say thi s is a "Roug h House" book, rai sed by a nursery- full of infants. So we a re, as fa r as publi shing a college annual goes. Vlhen you pass judgment upon th e r es ults of our in experi ence and infantile struggles, please bear in mind that we go at your r ating-infa nts. Of course, if you think thi s is th e production of men we heartily agree with you. A book is a book. Made most ly of paper and fo rm upon which a re hung whatever things it suits th e fa ncy of those to whom the han gin g a nd decorating is entru sted. This book is meant to be a thing of beauty a nd a joy forever. Th e joy will be to those whose task it has been to help to dress this form . Don 't im agin e th eir joy will come from the fact of th eir havin g to work. O h, no ! It will be th e r elax after a most painful struggle. A relax th e joy of vvhi ch will be proportional to the amount of labor ex pended by each willing worker. The bea uty of it will be in th e faces of those whose pi ctures are within its covers. I Vve let them speak for th emse lves. There a rc many persons who don't know a good thing when th ey sec it. vVe do not claim an y especia l merit fo r our H.at Ta t, but sin cerely hope that none of th ese indivi duals will happen upon it; for should anyone ever fail to apprec iate th e 1903ncss with which we have tri ed to clothe it, we would remind them t hat "A perfect judge will r ead eac h piece of wit \Vi t h th e sam e spirit that its autho r writ." A short time ago at a baby meeting a vote was taken as to whi ch was the bes t a nd prettiest baby. O nly mothers who had babi es at the meeting were allowed to vote.

Mary's, in the year r 671. In 1694, the then govern or, S ir Francis N icholson, again revi ved th e question and offered to g ive money for the main tenan ce of a coll ege. No action was, taken at t hi s tim e, but in 1696 an act was passed whi ch res ulted in the establishment of K ing Willi am's School. T hi s act recites that the schoo l was established for " th e propag ation of th e Gospel and educati on of youth in good letters and manners." K ing \1\filli am's S chool was thu s established. Govern or N icholson g ave to th e school a lot in th e town of A nn apoli s, with th e house th ereon, and th e Legislature appropriated money to it, but the schoolhouse was not fini shed until 17or. It was of brick, and stood on the south sid e of the State H ouse. In 1730 proposals for fo unding a coll ege at A nnapoli s were made, but no legislati ve effect was g iven them. Th e project was again revived in 1763. A committee of th e General Assembly recommend ed th at " th e building in th e city of A nnapoli s which was intended for the Govern or of th e provin ce be comp letely fini shed and used for th e coll ege proposed to be established, " the money for th e work to come out of the publi c treasury. Thi s building r eferred to by th e committee of th e General A ssembly is now McDowell H all. In 1784 the charter of St. J ohn 's Coll ege was g ranted. By act, in 1785, the property and funds and stud ents of K ing William 's School were conveyed to St. J ohn 's College. McDowell Hall . On November II , 1789, th e College was formally opened, and th e dedi cation was performed with mu ch solemnity, all th e public bodi es being in attendance and formin g a long process ion from th e S tate H ouse to McD owell Hall. M cbowell H all is situated at about the center of our co ll ege buildin g s, faci ng Coll ege avenue and looking directly clown P rin ce George street. In th e center, on th e first fl oor, is th e chapel. This chapel ex tend s to th e entire height of the building, and R oman-like, doors open into it from th e surroundin g rooms. The Faculty room and the P resident's offi ce are on its right, and th e readin g r oom directly above th e Pres id ent's offi ce. The P hil okalian Society has its room in th e wes tern corn er on th e third fl oor , and the Philomath ean has its room in the eastern corner of the same floor. The other rooms of the building are used as recitation rooms. �( Pinkney Hall lLLl Al\1 l '.LNI..:_ Y, so th e stor y goes, was a g reat orator, lawyer and r.:E statesman. He is one of th e men whose names occupy t he lVi.aryland Ha ll of Fame at Charleston Ex hibi tion. He is an A lumnu s of St. J ohn 's Co llege. T he hall to the left of McDowel l Hall facing Coll ege Avenue is named after this ilustri ous man . It is called Pi nkn ey Hall. Volumes can be written about thi s g reat man and great hall. No doubt, you arc quite well acquainted with the hi stor y of both from seeing so often t he stereotyped phrases concerning th em. 'vV c vvi ll n ot weary you with a painful repetition. There is great probability that what yon arc about to read will not be as poli shed as some pl easant things that you have rea d concerning t hi s famous hall, but bear in mind that thi s is our first attempt at writin g hi stor y, and that we have n ot been able to obtain an y prev ious for mul a that is satisafctory to us by whi ch we may compound the facts. Pinkn ey H all is a four-stor ied buildin g . lt was erected in 1855· S in ce its erecti on man y an ecdotes h ave been told about it and th e p er sons wh o have lived in it. 'vVc arc goin g to try to tell you a few th in gs about the individual s who are now passi ng the time within its walls. I'orm crl y it had been the custom for the F reshmen to room on the fo urth floor, th e Sophomores on the third . Th e Seni or s always took their pick of the r oom s on first aml second and left the others for th e Juniors . 1\ ow it is entirely different. Th ere arc Seniors, Juni ors, Sophomores and a few I'reshmen on the fourt h fl oor. T he third fl oor is mostly occup ied by F reshmen, but a few Upper Classmen have the best r ooms on it. T he scconcl fl oor is stri ctly a pl ace of abode for Seni ors and Juniors, whi le the first fl oor has a few fr om each class. To onc·-who kn ows all that goes on within, th e windows seem to nod and beck as if tryi ng to r emind him of som e plot or tri ck that he and oth ers have planned or ar c planning. Sometimes th ey even tak e such an appearance that h e uncon sci ously associates with t hem the names of the stud ents who li ve in th e rooms of whi ch th ey a rc a part. A bet ter way to becom e acquain ted with th e inmates of the hall is n ot by relating what th e window . seem to say. but by takin g a little tour fr om fl oor to floor and back ag-ain . You will not sec all on yonr fir st trip and ther e will be man y thin gs th at you don 't want to sec. On tnrn in g- to th e left you stand at the end of th e hall on th e first fl oor. Of th e many thin gs whi ch deser ve our noti ce is th e fir st room on th e left . In it, live an 21 �old maid and a ver y learned man ( we believe he is a man, for he sports a mu stache of no m ean size) . Of thi s room and its inhabitants vve will speak later in anoth er part of this book. Fritz and Si, the two w onders, with Mr. R ough H ouse Jim oppos ite them, k eep up th e reputati on of the fir st fl oor. A future bi shop has hi s abode at the north end, but does not seem to have much influence over them by his weekly m eetings . Th e second floor has some very quiet -loving Seniors. General Grant doesn 't seem to be awa re of thi s fact, or he has a v er y short memory. The old Y . M . C. A. room is on thi s fl oor and the Y. M. C. A president lives in it. O n th e third floor are most of our Fres hmen. F rog lives at on e end of it. He seem s to exercise a fath erly care over many of th ese infants, and with the aid of P okey averts many a case of coli c by helping himself, and thus preventin g th e F reshmen from eatin g more than is safe for· ones so young and tender . O n the fourth fl oor th ere is a continua l noise, especially a n hour befor e supper , wh en you want to ta ke a nap . Tn the earl y part of thi s session th e faculty purchased in struments and fitted up a band . A g ood percentage of fourth ft oorm cn join ed the band . Y ou may think you can imag in e th e rest, but you can·t ; it is sirnply beyond imagin ation. O ne bass, on e trombone, two cla rinets and one bug le, four mandolin s, two ba nj os, two g uitars a nd many voices more or less melodi ous. If you think you can imagin e wh a t a n oise all th ese will make, you are sorely mi staken. It is necessary for you to be ver y sleepy and to be tryin g to take a littl e nap about five o'cl ock some aftern oon to r eali ze most full y wh at it m ean s. \"".T have taken noti ce of only a few of th e most promin ent traits. Note will e be taken of others furth er on . 22 �Humphrey Hall HILE enum eratin g our ha ll s, we mu st not leave out H umphrey Prepa rator y In cubator and Cuban colon y. Thi s stately-looking edifice was built in 1835, th e Coll ege findin g it n ecessar y to have some place to store th e many hi g h-mind ed youth s who had come to S t. J ohn' s to bore, gouge, flunk and to do many other noble things. For some year s college stud ents had the ch oice of rooms in eith er Humphrey or P inkn ey Hall , bul now it is rese rv ed especiall y for th e Prcps.- lucky for th e Preps. He re th ey stud y, fi g ht, break pitchers, and once in a while rai se roug h-house in general. Not bein g permi ttee\ to leave their room s after dark, th e latter is a ver y un comm on occurrence. Th e hall is in cha rge of Mi ss Dob \!Vhite, a ver y kind and charitabl e old maid , wh o says she will n ever ma rry. Sh e li ves on th e top fl oor, and being of a kindl y di spositi on, never tak.cs a switch to an y of the boys und er her cha rge, wh o at times ann oy her g reatly. U ntil th e er ection of \!Vooclwa rd Hall , Humphrey contain ed th e library and armory, but upon th e erecti on of the n ew bui lding th ey were moved into more spacious and inviting quarter s. Th e r oom s th ey form erl y occupi ed upon til e first fl oor are n ow occupi ed by P rofessor Pu sey. It is a great delight to him to sit and li sten to the fallin g plaster when the Preps. have a clog dan ce a nd inform al r ecepti on on th e fl oor above.

Compared to th e other venerable buildin gs, it is th e small est infant. In order lh at th e structure might be in ha rmony with the other s, it was built in the classic colonial style. It is constructed of bri ck, with marble trimmin gs. In the f ront and r ear ri se beautiful and maj estic Cor inthi an column s. Passing und er their graceful capitals, on e find s himself in th e reading room. Here the colonial style is more marked. The woodw ork is all of cla rk walnut. At one end is a large open fir epl ace, with an imposin g mantle. The windows are deep set , and under each is a cozy seat. The panes arc of the small style so much used in the past. B ut it is of th e contents th at we wish to speak rather than the container. On the stacks are some of the most valuabl e r eference book s in ex istence r espectin g th e ea rl y hi story of our colony. T h ese, with a g reat man y other s, which were brou ght fr om England and presentell to the Coll ege, form a most interestin g and valuable collect ion. The maj ority of these ancient volumes are bound in pi gskin , and, stran ge as it may seem , th ey ar e sti ll in good conditi on . B ut th ese old treasures are by no means all that claim our attention. The library is well equipped with th e newest and best works of r efer ence and the best literature of the whole world. All th e leading peri od icals are taken, and afterwards preserved and bound. These, with th e aid of Poole's ind ex , form a most valuable and Woodward H all useful possession. O n thi s fl oor is also the biological laboratory, which is separated from the library by a hall. This laborator y is well equipped with microscopes ancl the other in struments necessar y for scientific research . Separate lockers ancl desks are provided for each student, so that h e can work without interruption. Frequent excursions are mad e into the neighborin g country to collect and stud y the various species that abound. The woodwork of thi s room is oak. Ascendi1i.g the graceful stairway in th e rear of the hall one r eaches the chemical and physical laboratories and lectnre room. The laboratories ar e to the right. Here in a large and well-li ghted r oom the stud ent has the privilege of unraveling th e mysteri es of nature by the surest and best way-experiments. Hoods are arranged in th e walls. U nd er th ese are condu cted the experim ents which produce disagreeable odors, and in this way the main laborator y is k ept healthy and well venti lated. The interior woodwork is oak her e also. This, with �J the white walls, makes a harmonious and at the sam e time dm·able decoration. Th e r oom is fill ed with the most improved individual desks and locker s. Each desk is full y suppli ed with gas jets and water faucets in addition to the requi site chemi cals and appa ratu s. Th e wall s are lin ed with g lass-door cupboard s, in whi ch arc stored th e laborator y supplies a nd th e mor e del icate apparatu s. Th e St. J ohn 's labora tor y is th e repositor y of th e sta nda rd weig hts and measures of Ma ryland . T hese a re a most interestin g and alm ost pri celess possession. P assin g throug h a small ante- room one enters th e lecture and r ecitation room. In thi s room is stored a most valuable coll ecti on of sc ientific apparatu s of all kind s. Th e writer will n ot go into a description of th em, fo r, well, he has neith er space to fill n or kn owl edge with whi ch to fill it. Th e main body of th e room is occupied by seats for th e stud ents. A t one end is a long coun ter fitted with gas and water, upon whi ch illustrati ve experiments are condu cted before th e va ri ous classes. Behind thi s a r e th e necessar y bl ackboard s. \ Ne have now taken you bri eRy through th e " baby" of our venera ble buildin gs. Any buildin g to a stranger seems cold an d li feless; but for one who has toil ed and conquered th ere it acquires a p ersonality. Th erefore, we ca nn ot even hope to introduce you to terms of intim acy v vith thi s hall , and our only expectation was to g ive you a bri ef outlin e of it. �Our Old Chapel T.

T he seed of our ambition began to germinate away back in th e P rep. School, and the first leaf unfolded itself when th e "Colonel" went on a loaf for two mont hs under pl ea of p reparing for the N aval Academy. T hen one of our huge men told a Prof. that a hill in his county was a " right sma rt littl e mountain , Fcssor ," a nd we berran to t hink that we had not onl y some character , but some "character s" "' in our class . Fi rst P rep. comm encement saw R egulu s still returnin g to th e Romans (poor old Reg.), a nd the "brave men of Quebec" still "a com in g on ." That day we catw ht our first real g limpse of {e 111 ini'lll ity, and if it was not th e b last no one can be blamed but the g irls, for to our youthful eyes they did look particula rly charming. thin g about th e coll ege should be run . The Seni ors meant well, of course, but it was r eally wonderfu l what brilliant id eas th ose fou t·th-I-loor, all-in-a-room converacuity could easil y sations developed. A thletics should be run differently; th e ]< get a few points from our class-meeting, and as fo r " women" as we ver y kn owin g ly spoke of th em in those days, why, we had that volati le sex in a patent leather sling. I don 't remember how it a ll came abo ut, but our ideas began to change a littl e when some of 'oz's m en went over to the gym. one nig ht ( by in vitation.) Certain ly we had something new to think about ~fte r that ; our hori zon began to broaden, and conseq uentl y t he earth began to get larger. It might be fair onl y to our class to say right here that some Seni or wrote ou f F r eshman hi stor y for the " Rat Tat" in Scriptural style, and thereby created a reputation for th e class wh ich has misled the public for fo ur long year s. However , by the herculean effort s of such men as " Hutch" and L eroy P., our average attendance at church has been kept at par with the other classes. (You sec I am advertising some virtues of which the public is not aware, and so the fellows wil l pardon me if I get fa miliar with th eir reputations.) W ho learn ed to dance first is a fact no one cares to remember, so we will bury it in the deep oblivion of the " dead past," and only hope that some of our partners in those Freshman clays w ill be eq ually willing to forgive and forget . Now, however , on Saturday nig hts you wil l see many uniqu e styles of getting around th e room by the men of "N ineteen-two ." l\!Iany times, when all was peacefu l in P inkn ey, our reli g ious men woul d seem to be se ized by an ev il spiri t, and in th e wild r out that follow ed, a n outsider would thi nk that lleelzebub himself was the o·uidin g- influence. Dut no ! they were onl y tryin g to dance, a nd success seems ; 0 bav~ crown ed their efforts, for to sec '" P cth" and '' Linticum " in the "strains" of A uf \ Nicdersehen would moisten the eyes of any crocodil e. Mind you, most of these facts cam'e to li g ht in un der class days. and it is onl y with bated breath that I introduce you to our final struggle to carry the sheepskin through th e goal. J f I ma rked Seni or year, "g·irl s," I would save much ink and valuable t im e, a nd be truthful also, but out of justi ce and likew ise a deep admiration, I must tell you of on e or two who have not " monkeyed with the band-wagon. " " Scrubby" Lamotte, "Colonel" ' Dcspard and L ou Seth a re th e immortal three, a nd in our degenerat ion th ey have been standin g firm around th e Senior bann er and try ing to rall y the class. l\l[ay we soon retract our wayward course, and instead of creepin g in after 10.30, may be tucked safely in our littl e beds wh en th e 0. D. takes up in spection. \ Vhen we return ed la st September t he fell ows said it took several days to shake off some kind of a feeli ng concernin g moonli g ht ni g hts.

He selfishly says: " I know we have a hi story,_ and a glorious hi story at that, a hi story that is fraught vvith happy incidents, a hi story that is filled with pleasing accomplishments, a hi story formed by the labors and the folli es of some of the men whom I have found to be my clearest friends. But why shou ld I write this history? Is it not engraved upon th e heart of every man in my class ? What change of li fe, what viciss itud e of the f utu re can ever efface the memory of my college clays?'' Dut thi s sentiment is a mistaken one. \iVhen a body of men gather in a college like this for the purpose of t rainin g their young lives and minds for "the slin gs and arrows of outrageous for tune," they form a sort of fraternity, and during a four years' course they do many things worthy of publication for reference in the years to come. A ll parts of Maryland have contributed men for the formation of the present junior class. From the rocky passes of vVashington county clown through the fertil e and beauteous valleys of Central Maryland, on to the indescribable et invi sible beauties of the crab districts of the Eastern Shore, have these hig h-minded youth s assembled together in harmony under " the g uardian swa)r of thi s College of the Patri ots.' At our first meeting we were all most assuredly g reen, but as time wore on, the rough edge wore off, and at the close of the fir st year we began to reali ze how little we knew. How well I remember thi s band of hayseeds smuggled from the high seas about Sali sbury, Boonsboro, Rosa ryville, Easton, North East, Darlin gton, Alpha, and other points not on the map. Some smelled of clover, some of tar, some of oyster shells, some of mountain laurel; and one smelled of cheap cologne, profusely applied. At th e close of the freshman year we all "smell ed of the midni ght oil." But now we have become used to college, and are averse to studying at all. Lest we stray, permit me to revert to the clays when we were young in the ways of college life. As I had the honor of relating in last year 's Rat Tat, we were unu suall y noisy. O ne nig ht we carri ed things our own way, on the fo urth floor, and before morn in g the upperclassmen carri ed things their way-and we couldn 't sit down fo r two weeks. I was afraid to say anything about this last year, 62 knowing that th ere was much danger of lowerin g our dignity as the leaders of the G. 0. H . Besides, Sophomores like to keep such things a secret. We never had a classmeeting that didn't end in a fight. A t that time everything we did as a body turned out to be a " fizzle." (Our class colors, fo r in stance.) But, now we always say that this was on account of the poor example set by the class above us . It is amusing to think over th e first impressions of our classmates. I well remember littl e Amos Woodcock in hi s kn ee breeches wh en for the first time he crawled up to T ommy's desk. If ever there was a sad picture of homesickness and insifTllificance he imr)er sonatecl it. Little did we think that in him lay the . qua liti es b of mind and character that have made him such an honor to our class. H1s Freshman roommate, "Bip" Tilghman, was also a child in years, a baby in size and an infant in mann ers. Many a night have I been compelled to put to sleep th ese two ch ildren with th e soft, sweet strain s of my trained voice. Next "Slew-foot" Beatty came, dragging hi s big feet up th e Col lege walk. \ iVhen be had safely housed his ponderous and momentous steppers he imm ed iately began to bone lessons, It-idling captiou.sly behind hi s matchl ess groundworks, so that we saw him only at the table. By the way, he was punct.u al at meals. I can still see flOw the plastered locks of hair, so inappropriately concealed from view that recognized mark of intelligence, which Si Cummins has possessed from birth-hi s hi gh fore head. He was the only F r eshman who spent hi s . time, his money and hi s artistic taste upon the walls of his r oom, and then wrote long letters about it to every female he knew. He has nourished these traits of character, and in th is particular he is still the "whole thing in a nutshell. " Then there was the once awkward and clumsy John Blecker , who surely struck our fancy as bein g a very h andsome youth. But time works many changes. T hi s odd person has lived throughout hi s whole course upon the lt1x ury of hi s imagin ed ambition, but through hi s bad taste for study he has come to misfortun e in more than one exam. Despite susbequent fai lures and mi stakes, how pleasant it is to talk of these clays of our first meeting! How fanciful and incompl ete th ese records are! But how much more fo rcible than th e treacherous chronicles of the memory! Doesn't it pay to write a hi stor y? A re not these boyish foib les, w hich in after years will have a charm for us? Then let us continu e furth er in our dream of the past. None of us are any longer certain as to w hether "'0Jeewy" Reed was regarded as a Brownie or a Pigmy, but time has developed that he is the "Missin g Link." Th ere was "Pat" \ iVood, born and raised on Market street, A nnapoli s, and though he had been in th e Prep. school fo r seventee n year s, he was a new acquaintance to the majority of our class. H e impres sed us as Annapolitans onl y can . And there was another little tot from thi s ancient city. "Tom'' I-:1andy was hi s name. �T om bein g a ver y poli te li ttl e man, always used to condu ct hi s cousin , another A nn apolis boy, called " D ug '' Howard , up to the Hall s of Learnin g . D ug an d T om never felt so happy as w hen they coulcl brin g u p a larg e box of home-made c::~ra­ mcl s fo r their fri end s. T hey usually had more f rien ds th an cara mels. D ug and T om wer e " g en eral traders of g ood sense,' a nd both had a p ull wit h th e fa ir ones of th e "City of A nne." It seems to be a painful duty to inter r upt these awakened memories by recordin g th at ver y recently our good friend D ug has left us to prepare for the entrance exami nati ons to the N aval A cademy. VIc have lost a br ight scholar , a fi ne athlete and a g en eral good fe llow . vVe voice the sentiment of the whole school in wishing for him a happy and useful ca reer in U ncle Sam's N avy. L eaAets of F r eshma n hi story ag ain unroll themselves a nd th e fi nger of meri t is pointin g to a n am e which has come to be honored a mong st us-\iVilson Galbreath . I r emember how one clay we wasted two hours and ten cents wort h of firecr acker s in tr ying to awaken hi m from one of h is reg ul ar nap s. H e is always n appin g. J\nd alt houg h he never has all owed t he r rofs. to catch him, he did g et caugh t once by the poli ce of A nnapolis. Garey, t he man who has been " sweet six teen. , for ten yea rs, was looked upon as the one Freshman who was sure of social success. U pon hi s ha ndsome face were evident ma rks of future g r eatness, and a conven ient age. \iVe were all becomin g well acquai nted an d fa irly well satisfi ed with ourselves, when in the seco nd term we ·were startled by t he sudden appearance of ' ' Patt·i ck' ' D oug herty, a native of Pari s, who sprun g up in our mi dst I ike a meadow mu shroom on a spring ni ght. ' 'Dots" was immediately appli ed to his name, but at hi s request we changed it to th e uncommon Iri sh t itle, " P a t ." H e was soon followed by an other specimen of Baltimore's g reaser s, M r . " F ri t zy'' Sewar d, who ca me sli ding th rough space on one of H einz's pickl es. T h is fi ni sh ed our Pandora Dox for t he fi rst yea r, "Gottsieclan kt. " I n the course of nature and luck, in spite of mathematics, we becam e Sophomores. K nobs of importance fast developed upon our heads, for proud were t he fir st fe w weeks of our novel position as leaders of that " Awful" O rgani zation, known to F reshmen as t he G. 0. H . T hey say " p ri de gocth before a fall," an d in seemin g r ealization of t hi s fact the F r eshmen behaved th em selves so well that we had to suspend hostili ties · indefinitely. \iVc soon hac! to substitu te civili ty fo r enmity; g rad ually t hi s civi lity g re w into a strong li kin g , and today the cla sses of '04 a nd '03 a re closely joined in th e ties of lasting fr iendship. Dut li ke all oth er Soph omore classes, we did not have all our F reshmen class mates with us to sha re our new responsibiliti es a nd exper iences. vV c have mi ssed them g reatly. A t the open ing of our Sophom ore yea r , however, several sons of M aryla nd resolved to cast their lots w ith t he class of 1903. T h ese were two hi gh-h eeled Harford county lads, ·'Choll y" H ollin g swort h an d Tom Hall ; two Ca r roll coun ty a ri st~crat s, R ily E lg-en a nd .. i\'1 iss Cranky" Cronk ; one g eneral nu isance from Rohrer~v dl e ( ?) by th e nam e of " Jim " Rohrer , and sti ll nno!hcr esca ped Howard Counta111, wh o call ed hi mself " I 'alcface" Clar k. W it h such rein for cements we bega n to feel st rong as well as proud . T hen, ah then, it was that we sta r ted upon our course of record-breakin g , brain -bursting, ancl hea r t-smashin g ; then it was tha t we began to enj oy our studi es, and to long for our meals. a nd our drill per iod . T h en it was that we began to dream of our Rat T at. W c sta rted r ight in for all athl eti cs a nd developed men who have di stin g ui shed th emse lves upon the fi eld. T here comes a swel ling of pri de when we relate th at in the inter-cl ass contests last May we won second pl ace. the Juni ors being fi rst. Hall broug ht us a peculi a r di stin ction by breakin g the Coll ege r ecord in the half-mil e run . Garey cove red h imself with g-lory as a swift and g raceful runn er. Beatty and Rohrer added several poin ts to our credi t by gaining second place in t wo events. Comi ng now to the M ili tary D epartment, we woul d say that we had always taken a particul ar pride in thi s busin ess, and, nex t to stud ying, it was our favorite du ty. Uut owin g to the large number s and la rge a mbiti ons of the Juni or class, we coul d not secure many promotions in rank. H owever, the ' 'Ice-Wagon '' Dlcckcr was mad e a corporal. A fter n ine weeks of heated discussion we adopted a cl ass-pin, but it is not sat isfactory to one member of th e class. (One more of our class " fi zzles." ) In J unc, when the standin g of the clas ses was ann ounced, nine cer tificates of honor and distincti on were awarded to t he m en of 1903, showin g that we were maki ng good use of our time. B ut our h istor y m ust not be all sunshin e, there ar e shadows on th e brightest days. D ur ing our Sophomore yea r we lost several good m en not befo re menti oned in thi s hi stor y. Some left college, some " fell by th e ways ide'' and a re now wadi ng th rough the fJUagmire of lost hope. vVe ar e sorr y to lose these, our fellowstrngglers. \iVith th e g lorious advent of our Juni or year , we came to fi nd that all Juni ors inher it the ri ght to three privileges : ( I) A n overd ra wn ambiti on, ( 2) a pen etrating opinion of the Seniors, and ( 3) a swell ed head . W e have m ade goof! use of the second, but were not much surpri sed when :M iss Fortun e refused us our share of the fir st and third pri vileges. For we had expected that last year 's J uniors had already abused them beyond f nrther ava il. Vve warn future Juni or s again st too much ambit ion, and too much swelled h ead . However, we have a good supply �of that penetrating opinion about the Seniors, and we keep it as r ecompense for the complete loss of the other two advantages. T o return to our hi story, we are unable to say that we have contributed as man y men for th e football team as the Seniors. But there was the quality in our men that mad e up for th e quantity in oth er classes. T he g iant Beatty played very fin e bali at left half back. Garey has made a splendid record at rig ht half back, and has been chosen to lead St. J ohn's promisi ng team to unh eard-of victori es next fall . For three seasons Blecker has been a faithful center , while " Dug" Howard at right end, carri ed men and thin gs hi s way. " Jim " Rohrer was one of the best subs. "Cholly" Hollingsworth also did good work on th e second team. Hi story is dry reading if th er e isn 't something funny to relate occasionally, so here goes. This class elected a Rat Tat Board. This Rat Tat Board had weekly meetings-twice a month. All the valuable time of this wooden board was occupied in holdin g meetin gs. Our minute book is twice the size of our Rat Tat, and is twice as funny. We are goin g to have copies made to g ive every man in the class. They will prolong life, and save future ci rcus expenses. O ur hi story is brig htened very much by the brilliant ·success with which our men have met in the social functions of the college. From a class of twenty, fifteen go to the hops, the g reatest per cent. of any class her e. Consequently, the memories of college days will not be confin ed to the life we have spent in each other 's company, but will often flock to the happy hours spent in th e company of some sweet Annapolis girl. vVe are proud of our record, and we believe that it is the benign influence of culture which St. J ohn's exerts upon her students that has worn off the rough edges of our mann ers, and polished th e beautiful traits of character that were covered only by a thin coat of inexperience. Our hi story is nearly fini shed, and lengthy as it is, we cann ot forbear the temptation to record some personal peculiarities v\ihi ch, for the possessor s, perhaps, cast slight shadows of th eir future meaning upon the scr een of our imagination.' Whether sportive or natural with them, we must comment that the tedious sarcasm of the " \i\Toodchuck," " Bip," B lecker and " Pat," which from time to time has born e us all clown to pitiless nothingness, can be measured only by th e barrel. As for order , in th e " barracks," we feel sure that "Jim R ough-house," Rily E lgen, " Tom" R eed and Tom Hall would r ather get fired than keep quiet. Just as with " Rustic" Beatty, " Jim" Clark and Garey, who delight in lathering the faces of unfortunate fri ends whom they happen to find sleeping. V./e hope these tonsorial traits do not brspeak for them a future career. Far better would it be for them to follow the example of " Fritzy'' and hi s ponies, and make arrangements with th e circus manager for a life job. • Indeed, we might enumerate page after page of "ways that are peculiar and tricks that are vain," but space prevents further indulgence in such trivialities. 66 'vV e believe it fittin g to cong ratul ate our 'o3 P hilomathean members upon th e excellent show in g that th ey made at the public debate held here in :March, and feel that to the class is du e laudatory menti on of the act ive part they have always taken in th e li terary, mu sical, soc ial. athl etic and intell ectual interests of St. J ohn' s. O ur exper ience as Juni ors has di spose d us to beli eve th e philosopher who said that all th e pleasures of li fe consist in either anti cipation or recollecti on. Th e studi es required here in th e Junior year mak e it th e "terrible present, " and there is no pl easure except in th e memori es of the past and in the hoped-for honors of the future. It is with many forebodings of possib le ill-success that thi s class will assum e the dignity of Senior s. Dut let us hope that our bud of kindly feelin g toward s th ose und er us may he nurtured. and finally developed into a beauti- ul fl ower whose f fragrance will be the love and justice to all who may come und er our authority. Coming to the close of thi s editorial-hi story somethin g seems to tell us that we cann ot pass with out th ankin g th e wh ole st ud ent hocly for their support in th e publi cati on of thi s Rat Tat, the g reatest of our class undertakin gs.

O n that clay there came here a band of youth s such as had n ever been here before. O ur hi storian of last year has told th e hi story of the beginnin g of thi s nobl e class, · and it has been given to m e to continu e the great work begun by my most worthy predecessor. Of course, th first thing to do was to organize ourselves into a body. A meeting was call ed and we elected the following class officers: J ohn F. M udd , president ; J. \Virt Vlilmer, vice-pres id ent, and P. C. J o nes, secretary and treasurer. Th e part we took in footba ll, and how we studi ed during the winter and " boned" for our exams., has already been told . Before the cl ose of coll ege we had attain ed such a degree of superi o rity both in th e classroom and on th e athletic fi eld that President F ell pronounced us to be the best all-round Freshmen class that had been here during hi s presidency. W e certainly have proved thi s to be tru e. In our fi eld m eet with the upper classes we came out in the fourth place. yet in our oth er games, as in baseball , we came out with Oying colors. In our field meet, notwithstandin g that fo urth place is th e lo west place, we scored 25 0 out of, th e 146 points poss ibl e, aga in st 2 points made by th e Freshman class of th e year before. Cooper did good work putting the shot, and would , undoubtedl y, have taken fir st place hac! it not been for hi s sprain ed wrist. A ll three places in pole vaulting were taken by }-Jalbert, 1\IIudcl and Revell. Tarbert won th e quarter-mile run and Ha lbert, Cronin , Burwe11 and Scarborough eas ily won the mile relay. The relay team that was sent to Phi ladelphi a includ ed two of our members-Halbert and Cronin. Th e inter-class baseball games now engaged our attention , and we practiced very hard ever y day befo re th e games. There was sli g ht doubt as to the outcome of these· games, but, of course, we expected to win th em. The junior class ('o2), ca ll ed the "Bann er Class," on! y by themselves , however , suppos in g th emselves to be superio r in ever y r espect to a11 th e other classes, th ou g ht. or at least said , that they wou ld have a "cinch" with us. Dut, alas! Poor Juni ors ! Beaten by a team of measly, contemptibl e, in significant Freshmen . vVe defeated th em by the score of 14 to 2. J n our oth er games we were equally successful. The Seniors forfeited to the Sophomo res. a nd we defeated Sophomores by a score of 6 to T, only one man r eaching third base. vVe a lso defeated the Preps. by a scor e of 10 to 4· Much credit is due to our pitch er , and also to th e m en who backed him , for these bri lliant v ictori es. T he team was made up as fo ll o ws: Mudd, catcher; Stick, pitcher; \ i\Tilmer, 1st base; Halbert, 2nd base; Cooper, 3rcl base; J ones, short stop; G. W il son, ri g ht field ; Searl orough, center fi eld , and Murphy, left field. Tarbert and B urwell w er substitutes. P owell and Burwell represented the coll ege in the tenni s meet in Daltimore with John s Hopkins University and \ i\ iestern Mar yla nd Coll ege. Th e time for our J nn e exams. was now fast approaching, a nd we saw th e necessity of doing- some ha re! work. Con sequ entl y we set to work, and after using mu~h midni g ht electricity and impress in g on o ur mind man y o f t hose irregular French verbs and th e theori es of mathematics. we passed throug h our exams . very successfull y. Therefore, everyone will now admit that th e cla ss of 1904 should ri g htfu lly be call ed "The Banner Class of St. J ohn 's." \t on e of our class meetin gs it was dec ided to hav e a banqu et in commemorati on of our athlet ic v ictori es. Accord ingly, th e money was appropriated out of the cla ss treasu r y, and we hac! th e banquet. A ddresses were mad e by man y m ember s on the diffe rent thin gs in wh ich our class was inter ested . T he speech by o ur Presi dent, M uclcl, on "The Class of 1904, '' was very inter esting to us, and when he talked of th e first accomp li shments and th e future prospects of th e class, th e g reatest enthu siasm manifested itself among th e member s of th e class. T hus end ed our fir st yea r, during which we establi shed such a rep utati on as very few oth er Freshmen classes has ever yet hac!. Aftet· enj oyin g our long summer vacation , we r eturn ed t o St. J ohn s, resolved to begin ha rd , earnest work again. In a few clays after thl' onen ing of t:1e college a class meeting was call ed for the election of new c i a~'; oft i ce r ~;. Th e foll ow in g men were elected: J. vVirt \i\Tilm er , presid ent; G. vVIlsnn , vic·.o-presiclent ; II. Padgett, secr etary, ancl P. C. J ones, treasurer. Three new men , Deachl cy, Colli ns ancl E. Padgett, j oin ed our class at the openin g of the ""'"~io n, and have proved themselves to be good men. As athl etics form one of the most inte resting parts of collcg·c l•fc. we were not long in answering to th e ca ll fo r footba ll players. Ha lbert and Cooper, two regul ar s, played a fin e game during th e whole season. Coope r is to be p ra i~c d for hi s great work at left tackl e. 1\lludd, Burwe ll and Scarborough were substitutes. As soon as th e football season was over, we settled down to hard stud yin g. Accordin g to the exam. marks of all th e classes , our class passed th e tll c:;t creditably of any class in co11ege. I cl o not mean to say that no one in our class " flunk ed," for that would hardly be true . . I cannot do justice to the class by simpl y stating a few facts concerning it as a whole. Therefore, I wi ll a ttempt to give th e cha racteri stics of some of our worth y clas men. On e of the most promin ent members is Ben . Hoogan . He 77 �is prominent o n accoun t of hi s heig ht, w hi ch is a bout 8 ft. 6 in . ( ?) . \ Vhen he puts on hi s little No. 6;/:i straw hat you can recogn ize him wh erever you see him , but you mu st not la ug h, alth oug h he docs look very comical. T hen th ere is H. Padgett, who is, without a doubt, th e best musi cian in the class. He spend s t he most of hi s time dreamin g and talkin g of sprin gtime and of playing hi s g uitar and sin g in g in the evenin gs on t he campu s. H you hea r anyone in the hall say, "\!Von 't it be fin e when sprin g comes, so that we can sit out on the campu s," "You must learn all the popular songs and we will sing th em when we can sit out on the campus," a nd si mila r expressions, you may be sure that it is Padgett. If you want to learn anythin g abo ut the fair sex of Ann apoli s go to Rat J ones. He spends the most of hi s time w ith them a nd knows much abo ut th em. Then anoth er thing he is noted fo r is th e art of pretendin g sickness when he has a difficult recitation. Collin s has been voted upon as being the g reatest cater in t he class. He well deserves the honor. He is an excellent writer and an authority on eating. Hi s most fa mous books a re, '' \!\That to Eat," ''Physical Trainin g" and a pamphlet on " T evcr De A fraid of Eating Too M uch. " He is better known as ''Toothp ick" or " \1\Tilki e. " Providence has been kind to us in giv in g us one of the wonders of th e world . This is a '·Human Jumping-Jack. , by the nam e of Magrud er . His mann er of walkin g is likely to impress one that he has sprin gs in hi s heels. \!Vc often quake with fear that sometimes those sprin gs wi ll raise him beyond th e limits of gravitation. Then our number woul d be one less. T he baseball season has n ow opened, and we exp ect to be well represented on t he team. Some of our men fo r whom there is a good opening are \Vilmer, Halbert, and Stick, Collin s, M udd , and J ones. T hey arc all good players and wi ll mak e the other candidates hu stle. Our class team expects to aclmini ster anoth er bitter defeat to the Seniors. In field a ncl track sports we wi ll hold up our en cl . as we wi ll und oubted ly have three ,m en on th e relay team-Cronin , Halbert a nd Tarbert. Mr. Bird was finally elected to the office of vice-president. .As he did not feel competent to express his thanks in a speech, he was asked. to g1ve ~ts another song, and h e readily complied. There was no end to the fun m watchmg some of :he poor fellows rooting penni es out of bowls of water. Of cou~se th e usual reacl mg of rules and posting up of bills on which the rules were prmtecl was. soon clone by us. After these few proceedings the Freshmen were allowed to r est m peace. I sin cerely hope that I have exactly portrayed the virtues of this g rand old class, and that it may yet rise high er in its p ower and bring more g lor y and honor both to itself and to old St. John's. HAROLD B. SCARBOROUGH. Now, with a .few word s regarding our relation with th e Freshmen, thi s hi stor y will be closed. S in ce hazin g was aboli shed here several years ago, it was not the desi re of our class to revive it. Yet, we all beli eve that when a youn g fell ow first leaves the restraint of parental influ ence, h e is apt to regard himself as bein g " the onl y one." l-Ienee, in order to ban ish all such ideas from the brilliant ( ?) minds of the Freshmen we deemed it n ecessar y to resort to something that woulcl furni sh us a littl e amusement, ancl at t he same time teac11 them th e lesson intended. I think everyone, w ith possibl y the exception of th e Freshmen, en joyed th e con certs g i vcn by them. As it is the custom. we had to elect a new vicepresid ent for the P inkney Hall Glee C lub, a nd to do thi s we had to test th e voices of th e F reshm en. T he sin gi ng was ver y much like that heard at a g rand opera ( ?) . 79 �Editorial Board of the l903 Rat Tat Sophomore Celebrities GEO . W. WILSON , Ed ito r- in-Chi ef.

After thi s meeting everything went along quietly for several clays, but the Sophs. thought that they should train us up in the way we should go, so about a week after the "Glee Club" entertainment each Freshmen was aroused from his peaceful slumber by a gentle shake, and opening his eyes, saw a large crowd of white-robed fig ures in the room. Before he was well awake, he was ordered to get out of bed and stand at attention with his face to the wall. Of course, he obeyed. Then the rules by which he was to be governed during the year were read to him. These rules were sig·ned by the same honorable society that had afforded us th e pleasure of the Glee Club entertainment . After the rules had been carefull y read , the crowd marched slowly out, and we were permitted to r esume our peaceful slumber for the remainder of the night. But we were so sleepy when the rules were being read that it is doubtful if we would have r emembered them had the Sophs. not kindly r efreshed om memories by posting a copy of these rules on each Freshman's door. The Freshmen read and tried to abide by these rules, and consequently we had no more visits from the " G. 0. H." At th e beginning of the second term we gained a new member, William Askey. H e is a man of great ability, especially in athletics. H e was in the special course during the first term, but finall y decided to take some other course, and came into our class-the best one that he could have selected. In athletics we have not had a very good chance to display our abilities, for most of our members are very light, and it was an impossibility for us w make a very great showing in football, but, neverth eless, we had two men on the first team and several regular players on the second or scrub team. When we come to baseball we hope to make a better showin g. Although we may not have many men on th e first team, we expect to make it quite interesting for the other classes when we meet th em on the diamond to play the class games. Last year when we were P reps. we beat the Juniors, and in the game with the Sophs ., when they got one run ahead of us, they refused to play any longer. In tl1e game with the Freshmen our pitcher was struck by the ball and was greatly handicapped in his playing, but we were not beaten by a very large score. This year we have prospects for a better team, even than the one of last year. Most of the members of our class, being very studious, applied themselves well during th e fir st term, but when the February examinations were drawing near , there were very few who did not burn their midnight oil. But in spite of all efforts there were quite a number of us who fail ed. On hearing the retnrns of the examinati ons, many made resolution s to study harder during the second term than they had don e the first , but no one knows how long these resolutions will last. ~A V~ often. wondered how Sir Walter Ral eigh felt when he undertool, I am quite sure he could not hav; .f I n so burdened wtth the wetght of his responsibility as I am \i'Toe to me 1 perc 1ance I sho Jd f ·1 t d · . · ., hard it is to soar so ht hI a~! o o J~ts.tlce to these august worthies; and yet how will be the men of th!r .da le~e bnlhant stars of I905, ? eveloping their talents, private schools and some y. ome of us came from htgh schools, some from to unite her . .

There is a moral heroism in hi s devo tion to St. John 's that to nches th e sublim e-a tenderness in hi s patient la bor to secure for her a future worthy of her birth, that to uches the beautiful. No one of us so bl end s th e Phi lomath ean and the Phi lokali an in him se lf, so far as th e dea r old Col lege is co ncer ned , a th e Nestor of the brotherhoo d. It would be a gross wrong to my own feeling, and yours, if I were to pass on without some a llusio n to the mos t di s tingui shed of our broth er s, R e verdy J o hn son, who tod ay s ta nd s at th e head o f th e bar o f th e Union, a nd who, in the g reen old age, is illu strating th e grand eur of intell ect, a nd the triumph s of genius, without any perceptible lo ss of the v igo r of younger days. You can conceive my pride a nd pleasur e, when, in the pro ud capital of E ngland, I heard Sir Henry Ho ll and, S ir Willi a m F erg uso n, the two great surgeo ns of Europe, declare, that, in the estimati on of the fir st of her living statesmen, Mr. J o hn so n wa s regarded as the prince of lawyers and s tates men . Key inscribed St. John' s on the nati onal banner; and Rcverdy J ohn so n gave to O x fo rd and Cambridge, a living exa mpl e of what th e Severn of th e N ew World could do to sh ed lu stre on th e Se vern of th e Old World. These are the j ewe ls set in the diadem of th e State by St. J ohn 's. \Nell did th e ablest of her sons, my hono red uncl e, say, that it wa s th e da rkes t day of th e Commonwea lth , when thi s bright light our father s k ind led o n th e s ho res of the Chesapea ke, wa s extingui shed in the blindness of patirsan r age, and in gross vio lation of the plighted faith of the State. You perceive, you ng gent lemen, that th e ques ti o n is not w hether there sho uld be a great State Co ll ege, but wh ether, having one, we sho uld g ive her the g enerous suppo rt she need s. That is a suicidal po li cy, which so many of om citizen s pursue. Princeton, Ya le, Harvard arc chose n as the training spots of our so ns, while our mea ns are lav ishly poured into their tr eas ury. And yet, St. J ohn 's is the eq ual of either. Show me in th e annals of the past a brighter li st of alumni than she exhibits. Welling, the late mos t accomplished hea d of St. John 's, and now at th e hea d of an in st ituti on he so eleva tes by th e po wer of hi s great mind, sa id a t a n a lumni meeting that no college cou ld be more admirably fitted for its work. f There is a surpri sing popular delusio n ex isting on thi s subj ect. It is high tim e it was di spell ed. St. J ohn's is crippled by th e weakness of her re sources, which is th e r es ult in pa rt of thi s stra nge want of confidence, whi ch, ha s, to ju stify it, not even the shado w of the 92 93 �sembl ance of a r easo n. Our College possesses a vast advantage in its location, the power of association, and in its being born of th e State. I t is in the Capital of the Com ti10n wea lth, on th e sho res of th e most beautiful of ri vers, and w ithin view of th e g randest of bays. It is within reach of th e great forum , w her e, now, as of old, there is a co nstant ex hibitio n of th e high est di splays of legal eloq uence a nd logic-the Appe llate Co ur t of Maryland. It touches th e Naval Acade my whct·e the Gene ra l Government is di schargin g the duty it o wes to those who are to be the f uture g uar dians of our comm erce, and th e defend ers of our nat ional honor o n th e seas. It is nea r th e Cap ital of th e Unio n. It is full o f hi storic memories. It wa s here that Washington r et urn ed to t he shades of private life, after havin g ca rv ed out a natio n's independence. It wa s her e that th e memorabl e burning of the tea in th e Chesapea ke took place, which ante-ela ted the worlcl-renownccl heroi sm that was displayed in the harbor of Boston. Such is the spot our fath ers chose fo r the site of St. John 's. W e will not di sc uss the uses which th e State might and o ught to make of such a legacy beq ueat hed to her by such sires. Th e academi es, f ed from o ur public schools, might become in turn the feede rs of the Coll ege, whil e th e hi g her cu lture of the Coll ege mi g ht be mad e to flow back, from th e fo untain head to th e remoter m embers. We stand in need ju st now of a broader and profounder statesmanship-whi ch, knowing th e value of th e diamond s that a re still deep hidd en in th e mines, is t·esolved to dig them out, and poli sh them for futur e use-a statesman ship, which regard s yo un g men, when properly train ed and ed ucated, as the bulwarks of fr eedom. Imbue your mind s, a nd fir e your hearts with th o ughts like the se. Her e th e Philomath ean and P hiloka lian meet and mingle. This is emph ati cally th e cause of the people. It is th eir interest to have ed ucation made cheaper, and brought within easy reach of all . You mu st soon mingl e with them, and it becomes you to prepare yourselves to be the cus tod ian s of that, which un dcdi es their power, and can alon e fit them to meet the dest iny that awaits th em. To make St. J o hn 's a power in thi s land, two th in gs are requ isite-gifts b y th e people, if onl y o ne dollar a year, and the patronage of the people-private gifts and private patronage-fund s for building, and th e endow ment of professors hip s. We need the poo r man's sy mpathy and aid, as well as th e more abundant largesses of the ri ch. Drops make up the ocea n- Do llars make up th e mint. The grand idea, which ou r fa th ers inaugurated, can o nly be made a r eality by co ncert of action, a nd individual effort. The people mu st endow while th e State is lavis h of her wealth. What have ,the peopl e clone? Nothin g; no, abso lutely St. J ohn 's, nothing. nothing. P rinceton, Ya le, Ha r var d have r eceived th eir th o usa nd s. This is mar ve ll ously stran ge. Who doubts th at a g r and hall should be erected at once? What nam e so appropriate, to use th e lang uage of Jud ge Tuck, as t he People's Hall. 'vVe plead fo r ou r Alma Mater, not becau se she is o ur A lma Mater, but beca use she is native to the soil, beautiful for situati on, and worthy of th e patronage of th e peopl e. It ha s beco me very fas hi onabl e in ou r t ime to mea sure the va lue of a thing by di stance. Educated abroad so und s g randl y on hum an ears. T he parchm ent of P rin ceton, Yal e or Harvard is th ought to possess a peculiar charm - I s thi s philosophically true? Does di stance lend enchantm ent to thi s view? Will th e glitter of a fo reign coll ege outweigh th e less un osten tati o us a ttraction of hom e associa ti ons, provided th e m ental and mo ral training is eq ual. It is a marv el to me th at, with all bet· di sadva ntages, St. J o hn 's has kept her place by th e side of th e foremo st colleges of the land. B ut the fa ct is so. Ho me influence and home associations again st foreig n habits, tasks and customs. Thi s is th e ques ti o n. I say to the people of Maryland, attend th e com mencement exe rcises, a nd see fo r your selves.

T he great number of wedd in gs that immediately followed th e open-air concert, given durin g the June evenin gs, demonstrated its complete success, and since that time the men of St. J ohn' s have not permitted this pleasing feature to be neglected . 107 �The Mandolin and Glee Club Officers AUGUSTUS W .

A ll others have for th eir object eith er the promotion of th e social or physical side. but th e Y. M. C. A. goes deep er and works fo r th e g randest and most divine thing in th e world- th e hum an soul. Other s deal with questions in volving but a brief peri od of time; thi s organization has fo r its scope eternity. The Y. M . C. A. was first organized in r886, and since that time it growth has been steady, if slow. It has had to face the opposition that an ything religi ous meets in a college. It is a sad but neverth eless true fact that the majority of college men reali ze well th e importance of developing th eir minds a nd bodi es, and yet totally di sr egard th e necessity of developing their souls. It is this indifferen ce that has been th e or gan ization 's wor st en emy. It is always a comparatively easy matter to meet and overcome open resistance, but indifference is something which requires more than the force of logic to overcome. The quarters of th e association wer e formerly located in P inkn ey Ha ll. O ne of the la rge room s in that buildin g is still ca lled th e Y. M. C. A. in memor y of its former tenant. But of late years th e necessity fo r more r oom became apparent, and so th e m etings began to be held in the old hi storic chapel. Th ere in th e hall , revered by ever y St. John 's man , twice each week r elig ions meetings are held. During th e past year a reading r oom has been furni shed by th e efforts of the association. The dail y papers are taken and placed on fil e for th e accommodation of th e student bod y. T he assoc iation has long reali zed th e necess ity of keeping in touch with the work of other organ izati ons, and in pursuance of thi poli cy send s delegates of stud ents to the Tri-S tate Conventi on at Northfield a nd to the annual P res idents' Confer ence. O ne delegate was al so sent to th e Toronto Students' Conventi on this year. In addition to the reading room a nd th e rel igious meetings, t he Y. M. C. A. plays an important part in th e stud ents' life. It has long been th e custom to give a r eception in th e fir st clays of the Coll ege year . S peeches are made by men repres enting th e various interests of th e Coll ege, refreshments ser ved and th e new students especially made to feel at home. A hand book is al so edited a nd publish ed by the association. Th e hand book is a fund of information fo r the new stud ent abo ut the Coll ege and Town.

OOTBALL has been, is, and , I hope, ever shall be the lead ing branch of athletics in our Coll ege. In past years football teams have been produced which have nobly defend ed the athletic reputation of O ld St. John 's, and thi s year 's team has gallantly follow ed in th e footsteps of such predecesso rs. Every man entered into the sport with that "To-do-or-to-die" spirit, and thi s fact in itself seemed to predict a successful season. 'Tis tru e, we lost th e openin g game to the U nited States Naval Academy Team, but I r eally do beli eve that it is to thi s defeat that we owe the success that attended us durin g th e remaind er of the season, for it banished all those preconceived noti ons that had ari sen concern ing the strength of our team. We realized that we had plenty of hard practice before us before we could produce a winnin g team , so our boys set to work with redoubled energy. What was the result? Look at our scor es again st Gallaudet and Georgetown . Vve only tied them, I mu st acknowledge, "but they were gamester s in playing with whom not to have lost is to have won a g reat deal. " Georgetown had defeated the U niver sity of V irg inia, who were the recognized champions of th e South, so in tieing the former we hac! a just claim to an equal share to the honors of that position. During th e entire season v losl but two games- one to the Navy and one to ve Swathmore. Th e defeat inflicted upon us by th e latter team , I really attribute to th e over-confidence that seems to always take possess ion of our men soon after winning a few victories. However, thi s defeat, like our fir st, proved to be a blessing in di sguise, for we won all th e remaining games except the one with H opkin s, and in that we appeared to be th e victims of circumstances. O n the whole, the football season of 1901-1902 was one of the most successful in th e hi story of our College, for, aside from our many victories, Mr. Casper vVhitney has publicly declared that "we have the unique di stinction of keeping our athleti cs clean.

At this point began th e discussion which caused u s to leave the fi eld and "forfeit." \1\fhy we left the field I will not attempt to discus s, but will quote to yo u P r of. Cain 's vi ews concerning the affair, and the facts that led up to it. "That S t. J ohn's sho uld leave t he field and r efuse to fini sh a ga me in a ny branch of sport is a n extraord inary occurrence; indeed, mor e than fift een year s o f close r elati ons hip to her athl eti c t eam s does not enabl e me to r eca ll a not her in stance.

Whil e we a r e not in diffe rent to newspap er com m ents a nd cr iticism, we ha ve in thi s ma tte r pur sued o ur long-estab li shed poli cy o f r efraining from controver sies in th e public press . vVe a im to be manly a nd spo rt smanlike with all o ur opponent s, and hav ing ta ke n a sta nd fo r wh at we beli eve to be right, we ·e,·, so unu sual as it is, an ab ide by all the co nsequ ences of o ur act ion. In thi s case, howe 1 ex planation is du e the a lumni and friends of th e Co ll ege. Much mi g ht be sa id a s to th e diffi culty of ag ree in g up on o fficial s and t he co ndu ct of certain indi vidual s during the game. but wi th th ese matter s, as with th e merit s of the teams, thi s article has nothing to do. O ur r efusa l to fini sh th e game rested so lely on th e incorrectn ess of the referee's ru lin gs. Th e fir st di splay o f in co mp et ency occurr ed when we attempted to play what w e ca ll o ur "close formati o n. " Thi s play is used by so me o f th e best team s in the country, hav in g been fi 1,;st u se d, I beli eve at Pr in ceto n. \ -v'e have played it for three year s aga in st eve ry team we ha ve faced. and neve r befor e has it bee n qu estioned. vV e played it rep eatedly in o ur game aga in st th e Navy t ea m, with th e cha irm an o f the rul es committee as umpire. H e saw nothing abo ut it that is co ntrary to th e rul es . In the Hopkin s ga me, wh en th e sig na l was g iven to clo se up, the r eferee info rm ed th e capta in o f o ur team that we could not use that play. Th e rul e boo k was pro duced, th e umpir e gave hi s judgment that th e play was perfectly proper , lVJr. Spates protes ted , but a ll in va in. A ft er a ll thi s, th e r eferee announced so as to be h eard on the sid e lin es, " If you play that play I 'll take the ball away fi·o m yo n. " Now, the point to be particul arl y noted abo ut thi s ruling is that the matter o f for mat ions, as. in dee d , o f th e pos iti ons o f th e player s in general , is one ove r which t he r efer ee has no juri sdi ction whate1·er. The rules say that the 11111pire is the judge of th e p layer s. M o reovet·, in th e di sc uss ion the refe r ee cla im ed th at th e formati on wa s in vio lati o n o f Rule 18. But, und er " Duti es o f Officia ls," Rul e 29. II, th e enfor cement of Rul e r8 is di st inct ly a nd specifi ca ll y gi ve n as a duty and r espo nsibi lity o f th e ump·i rc . Fo r th e r efere e to in terfe r e in th e matter was a n arbitra ry ass umpti on of a uth o rity, in plai n Yi olat io n of th e rul es . It is ta king a cha ritab le v iew to say that hi s judgment was fa ulty. But that, no doubt, is th e view Capta in S pates took, for th o ug h th e pl ay wa s th e mo st effect ive one we had at th at stage of th e game, he ch·o pp ed it a nd co ntinn ed to play, rath er than ex pose hi s co ll ege to th e ri sk o f nnfa1·o rable criti cism. If we ha ve any regr et in co nn ec ti on with o ur acti on on th at clay, it is that we did no t then and th er e ref use to go o n. There cou ld ha ve been no mo re ju stifia ble g ro und fo r a refu sa l to play. Late r in the ga me Ho pkin s had wo rk ed th e ba ll do wn in sid e o ur five-yard lin e. In th eir a nx iety as to th e outco me, many o f th e sy mpathi ze r s o f eac h team had gather ed a round t he player s. In response to a n inquiry as to th e numb er of th e do wn , th ~ referee was hea rd IJ5 �II to announce, " Second down, a to uchdown to make.'' T he latter expression stru ck me at the moment as an unfo rtun ate one to use, bu t a glance at th e position of th e linesmen showed that in two more attempts the Hopkins tea m had to carry the ba ll across the goal line or surrender it to St. J o hn's. They took their two trial s and failed to carry th e ball over; in fact, fai led to m ake any gai n. None of th e o nl ookers see med to quest ion the fact that fo ur down s had been played, but when Ca ptain Spates claimed th e ball th e r eferee informed him that it was Hopkins' ball oa the third dow n. Here again protes t and argument wer e with o ut avai l, and aga in St. J ohn 's gave way. A noth er down played, and aga in Hopkin s fai led to ga in. During the progr ess of the play the referee bl ew no whi stl e to in dicate that a nythin g was wrong, but after th e play had been mad e and sto pped by St. J ohn 's, he approached the umpire and asked, "At·e yo u going to declare o ff-side pl ay?"' T he umpir e said th er e was no off-s ide play. '"Then," said th e refer ee, "I call in terference with th e center,.. and he pt·oceeded to allow ha lf th e r ema inin g di stance to the goa l lin e and give th e ball to Hopk in s for a fir st dow n. This ru lin g Captain Spates aga in protested . and asked the referee to get th e judgment o f th e other official s. T he umpire, t he two lin es men and th e two ti mekeepers were called up on for testimo ny. but none of them co uld say that he sa w off-side play, interference with th e ce nter, o r anything improper o r irregul ar in the play. T he r efe ree, howeve r, r efu sed to cha nge hi s decisio n, and after waiting a rea sona bl e t ime fo r him to reco nsider hi s actio n, Captain Spates cal led the tea m from the field. There was no opportunity fo r honest difference of judgment as to t he fir st erro r. Had there been, it wou ld have been th e duty of th o.<e co nce rned to subm it to the judgment of the r efere e. But eve ry o ne w ho saw the plays. and wh o co uld cou nt fo ur, kn ew t hat th e r eferee wa s wrong as to th e numb er of downs. To decide th e probabl e ri g ht o r wrong in th e conAi cting co nt enti o ns as to the seco nd point in di sp ute-interference with th e center-the pos ition of th e obser ve rs and the sur ro undin g circumstances mu st be taken into co nsiderati o n. Spa tes is a g uard, an d . of co urse, stood within ha lf a ya rd of the bal l. T he wr iter stood directly behind the cente r, not mo re th an seven ya rd s off, and, therefo re, had an un obstr ucted view of the ba ll and th e men who cou ld poss tbl y interfere with the center. T he r efe ree stood to one side, not less than twe h ·e yards fr om the ball, hi s view bei ng obstructed by half th e playe rs on each team . It wa s after 5 o'clock, or about 20 minutes after sundow n, o n a very ra iny day . . Fro m th e position of the referee he cou ld not see what was going on. At best hi s deci sion re sted on guesswork I say most ern ;1haticall y there wa s no off-s ide play, no inter ference with th e center. Had th ere been the sli ghtest doubt a bo ut th e fa irn ess of the play, I wo uld have advi sed Captain Spates to accep t th e j nd g ment and continue to play. B nt knowing that he had yielded twice, w hen the referee was clea rly an d ab solutely wro ng. I co uld not cou nsel him to do other wise than he did. Had he fi ni shed t he game he woul d ha ve been in the position either of a man who did not know hi s r ights, o r knowing, had no t the co urage to stand for th em. It was o ne t hin g to let th e ga me go by defau lt and und er protest agai nst deci sions wro ng both as to fact and rul e; it was quite a different matter to lose the game by letting the r eferee continue to give the ball to Hopkin s until they co uld carry it over under the pretence of regula rity. Captain Spates chose the fo rm er course. It should be add ed that hi s action meets with the approbat io n of every o ne co nn ected with the college. While we have such men to lead o ur athl eti c teams, St. J o hn' s r eputa ti on for spo rtsmanship is entirely safe. _!\ ~ ~\L.-1'\.-'A....l..() .• ·;:.; ~'-"'-'~ '11 T-t ·,s.~.,;-~/ c...u... ~,~ ~ ~...........v~~~ · T he Great R eferee �,, }I College Songs Yells heard on the Foot Ball Field St. John's I ' P ush 'em back!

One of the most interestin g pi eces of lig ht literature or fiction that has come into our hands for some tim e is "Elements of Logic, " published by Butler, Sheldon & Company. Throughout, thi s work abound s in th e most sparkl ing wit. It is quite hard to contain oneself as th e author " proves '' his absurditi es for us . We shall g ive two of th ese sy ll ogisms, as the author call s them. vVe never heard the term befor e, but a re sure that the street boys will adopt it and will begin to shout, "Syllogism yourself." "Nothing is better than wisdom. Bread is better than nothing. Ergo. Bread is better than wisdom ." Or, No cat has two tails . Every cat has one mor e tail than no cat. Ergo. Every cat has three tail s. Th ere arc also four little jing les which we are sure will become soon nursery rh ymes, and in stead of our babi es shoutin g " O ld moth er hubbard \Vent to the cupboard, they will cry joyously, "Barbara celarant parii ferioque puori s, Cesare camestres fest ino baroko secund;:e, Tertia darapti desamis dalisi felapton, Bokardo fersison habet; quarta in super addet, Bramantip, camenes demaris, fes apo fresison." Its extreme simplicity will, no doubt, appeal to all of the readers. And let us say here that no verses can be surer of posterity than those which are preserved in th e nursery. Th e di ction of thi s work should r ecommend itself to careful mothers and teachers for th e child 's first read in g; for seldom do words of more than fifteen syllables occur. 'vVe predict a great success for thi s book in thi s line al so . 179 �]ebb's 44 Selections from Attic Orations" .

Thi s book is one of the greatest works ever written on th e subj ect of GreCian M ythology . It begin s with a description of th e fa ll of A lpha, the God of Beauty, from th e r egions of Beta, the God of Hig hlands, and tell s how Ome.ga, th e Goddess of the vVhirhvincl s, caug ht A lpha in her currents and wafted hm1 away to t~l e land of I ota, the goddess of a very indefinite region called M omentum.. \iVhtl e in thi s r eo·ion A lpha fall s in lov e with Th eta, the Goddess of Attraction, and n early me~ts hi s fate at th e hand s of D elta,. her lover , th e God of War and Power . But th e stnwale is sudd enl y brolwht to an end by the appearance of R o, the great 0 "' · God of P ressure and Hurricanes,"' who hurls th e forc es o f D e1ta 111t o tl1e etl1er eal · reo·ions wh er e thev are consumed b th e fires of Sigma, the God of Li ght and H~at . R o then de;troys th e r egion of whirlwind s, O mega's king dom , and relea ses Alph a, who, with hi s clear Theta by hi s side, at the head of tl:e forces of R~, return s to th e kin o·c\om of Beta, and by force of arms restores h1m self to powe1, and now reio·ns ~upreme with his beloved Theta. Lambda, an offsprin g of Th eta is ne;~ in succession. T hus the work g ives us a fair id ea of the ancient ways ~f th e gods, and is hi ghl y inter esting throughou t. The plot is well worked out and should be r ead by ever y scholar. Side Remarks on (Dutch) German An individual may g row to manhood as verdant and innocent as the day he was born , and yet spend hi s latter days in a flat having a back door S und ay connection with a barroom; he may live a yo uth of wickedn ess and crime and r 8o incidentally pay a fe w prolonged VI Sits to the State penitentiary, yet it is not impossibl e that he may pass p eacefull y over th e river amid the sorrowful tears of his S unday-school cla ss. A ma n may begin life by passing across the bar the wor st concoctions ever produced, and yet, after having made a fortune in th e wholesale liquor bu sin ess, become one of the g reatest exponents of temperan ce that ever g raced a platform . But when he becomes so void of discreti on as to purpose in hi s mind that he will undertake the study of " butch," the Darwinian T heor y of E volution, i. e., that man is descended from a monkey, or more probably from an ass, is certainly proven. H e may already have plucked from th e lower branches of th e tree of kn owl edge a few plums such as Greek, L ogic and Calculu s, but he should ha ve noti ced that ··Dutch" is of the fruits that g row onl y upon th e topmost branches, and it takes more than a brickbat to brin g it down . B lind ed by th e knowl edge of what l1 e has cl on e, he asserts, ''Verily will I roll up my sleeves and jump upon 'Dutch ' with both feet, and of a truth when I am throug h, it will look lik e the t raditional dollar from which 70 cents has been extracted. " For a time, my son, thi s beni g hted individual may stumble along the stony path , and may even kn ock 4.50 and 5.00 by th e timely assistan ce of some careful " ponying' in hi s book. But th ere comes a time of reckoning . H e goeth into examin ati on with a happy h eart a nd a step as lig ht as if he were ru shing th e g rowler, but wh en he cometh out, hi s countenance hath a careworn and vacant ex pression, and hi s g eneral a ppearance is like unto that of a rotten pumpkin upon whi ch a ton of brick has accidentally been dropped. It is not n ecessary to inquire if he has Aunked. L eave him alone to th e tend er merci es of an . . accusmg con sCi ence. Truly th e way of th e "Dutch" student is ha.r d and full of troubl e. Vlhen you are reading that "sublime" cr eation " Die \iVacht a m Rhein ,'' does it picture to you the beauti ful blu e Rhin e, with its patri otic associations, dear to the heart of ever y true son of the F a therl and ?

Analytical Geometry BY G. A. WENTWORTH. A bsence of techni cal detail and scientific pretensions places thi s little book without a peer in th e literary world. Marvelously blended with chi ldlike simplicity, it is one of the most fascinating works of fiction that man ever wrote, and shou ld be r ead by ever y lover of romance. The character s are brought out by piling on detail after detail, instance after in stance, until the reader is so complctcl y wroug ht up that he hates to lay it aside ti ll completed . T he first few chapters describing the land and the people are so g raphic in th eir picturesqueness that they appeal to the reader s with the force of a prophecy, and he reads on in sear ch of the "plo t." T he whole story is a g lowing portrayal of the trials and tribulations of a little band of GTeeks, who pledge mutual support in th eir travels through th e intricate windings of th e "Conic sections." One moment we find this littl e band, guided by their gallant little leader , Alpha, perched upon the vertex of Mount P arab ola, and the next, takin g a quiet nap (pe) in the valley of the H ybe1'bola.. In this mann er the stor y proceeds in an unu sually taking style, containing one bundle of contradi ctions and lovabl e absurdities, until th e author sees fit to con clude hi s story. And it wouldn't require many Maryland legislator s long to find out th at there is n-othing in the book. B ut if we wish to consider the work from an economical standpoint it would be appropriate to m ention that the ~mlne in the book is $I. 12. The diction is rotten , the subj ect-matter is Robin Hoodified . The m eaning of ever y paragraph is supposed to be fo rthcoming in the n ext mail. Somebody told us th at the author says in this book that the only thin g necessar y to become a la wyPr is persuasive power . But we can prove by logic that it is n ecessar y to be a liar. This book is intended to drive students to sui ci de and to jail. In one place th e author tri es to fool people by say in g, " T h ere a re two main kinds or arg umentation, that whi ch is written and that which is not spoken, or in oth er words, that which is not a ny good and that which is n o good." The latter is now practiced in modern courts. T he author ski ll fu lly avoid s mention of the power of money in courts, and in all convictions. The book has n o purpose. The object for writing the book is the eig hth wonder of creation. The book suits hard-worked students for three reasons: F irst, it offer s on e hour of r est per week. Second, the instructor can't r equire a pupil to answer hi s quen es accordin g to the text book ( unless h e is non co111pos mentis. ) T hird, it elaborates upon th e differ ent kind s of confusion, contradiction, m etamorphi sm and general climatic conditions of " balled-up" briefs. A bout half way between the lids of the book the author tells why on e man doubts anoth er man"s word. \11/ e doubt hi s reason, for a sy llogism which contains as a premise the conclusion of another syllogism , is called a n epi syllogism. He also says th e evid ence of a bowl egged man vvho drinks common whiskey should n ot and cannot be r elied upon. T he plan of the whole book is a fake , and we recommen d it as an admirable bt111 ch of nothing ness. Generally sp eakin g, and also thinking, the book is surelv "on the bum."

T he old hunter had th e bird as a - pet, but we induced him to se11 it to us, which he very relu ctan t ly consented to. clo. The next bird of importan ce is the \IVoodcock.

It may be ow ing to hi s qu ali ~i e.s that we prize him most, yet with every look at the btrd m y tmnd revert s to thnlhn g ~Im es. not all pl easant, that I spent with th e party w ho secured the fow l.

Read " Ames' Theory of Physics" and th e "I olice Gazette," drink half a keg of beer, and go to sleep. Get up about 4 o'clock, fall clown stairs. Eat pork, Bologna sausage, Boston baked beans , and drink beer for two hours. \ Valk the twin s up and clown the fl oor for three hours. Eat plenty of griddle cakes and dri ed apples, with water . To secure best results r etire immediately, conti nually nursin g a siphon connection with your beer keg. I have found the above method ver y beneficial. Conceit is th e distingui shed characteristic of poodle clogs and young preachers, so if you would avoid it stay out of their company. Fathers of twins and police officers are prone to become conceited, and even senior classes at colleges are ofttimes victims of "swelled head s." Be cautious not to flatter old maids and yellow negroes. T he truly vvise man is modest as a bandmaster , and the braggart and coxcomb are no better than chicken thieves. Potatoes.

M AR CH 9TH, I90I. I Four of the most admired spots about College 2 20 To MY D EA R PARD: II .I (R eceived by Di fferent Stud ents of the College.) I am under the impression th at I have written to you once or twice since last September, but our mutual fri end W- has informed me that you " broke the sweet news" to him that I ow e you a letter, and as I have n ever known you to tell a fal sehood, I suppose I mu st be mi staken and that you r eally have an swered my last letter, but for some reason or other U ncl e Sam's employees in the postal service have failed to do their work and th e letter has never reached me. Then, again , I always did like to write to you. You are such a good fellow a nd I have so many fond recollections of th e man y pleasant and profitabl e hours we have spent together at St. J ohn's, you at one end of th e table and I at the oth er, each digging aw ay at mw lessons f or the fo llowing day . I often wonder whether you a re keeping up the good work thi s year, not having th e splendid influ ence of our class to guide you and to keep you from goin g astray. As I sit here toni g ht my mind turns back to those good old days, and m emori es thick a nd fa st crowd in upon me. I see ma ny vi sions, each one reminding m e of diffe rent events that happened within the sacred precin cts of old Pinkn ey. O ne that I see plainer than any oth er is a· large table upon whi ch is spread a cover of man y colors, but g reen predominating. A round this tabl e are a half dozen yo uths, n oble youn g men who have come to college to improve th eir opportunities, and a re determin ed some day to make th eir mark in the bu sy world with out. In th e center of the table are a number of round , curious-lookin g di scs of three color s, a nd in front of each youth are more of the round thin gs; but, strange to tell , th ere are more in front of some than of others. In fact, one of the ambiti ous youn g men has scarcelv any, and th ere is an unhappy, desperate expression on his countenance as he calmly says a few moments la ter that " he will have to shy this pot. " A mong the rest fortun e has strayed unceremoni ously from one to th e other , and occas ionally on e thinks that he has darned toug h luck when h e sees to hi s sorrow a "king full " is not as good as " four seven s." 22 I �~, To complete the g lowing, awe-inspmng picture, th ere is another youth who is not in the game, but contents himself with looking on, and seems to take g r eat delight in lookin g at fir st one hand and then the other and " fingering" the " chips" of each. Is th e picture complete, old man? If not, I will add one more feature. Someone ban gs loudl y at the door and shouts, " Open up!' ' A ll within is silent as th e g r ave, and one would think that the room had never been occupied or that someon e was cleacl, so deathlik e is the stillness that prevails. I think that th e vision l have conjured up in my memory wi ll be sufficiently plain to yo u, and I really believe you wi ll app reciate and enj oy it, fo r I hear that those pastimes are con spicuous this year by their absence, and th at th e yo uth of the g rand old in stitution have fall en into evil ways, such as stud ying, attending Y. M. C. A., etc., etc. My mind is full of such recollecti on s as th ese, and I could sit and talk all day long about them if I could just see someone who enj oyed those pleasant days with me. I can't spread myself as I w ish to on paper, for yo u know that costs mon ey, and I don't get m y allovvance now as I did w hen I was a boy. It comes out of m y own pocket, and con sequ ently seem s hard er to par t with . D on't think, thou gh, that thi s paper costs me anythin g. T his is th e finn 's paper , and you will also note that I use a stamped envelope, so don 't get conceited that I spent any money in writing thi s letter t o yon. I save that kind for the fair sex and my more fa shi o n al~l e friend s. H o w are you progressin g thi s year? In th e same retrograde fas hion ? I hope that you are still being benefi.lecl to some extent by the noble examples of the Class of 1901 , and h ave not permitted yourself to become wholly contami nated by evil influences . I h ave always had great aspiration s for yon, and w ish yon th e g reatest success in your struggles and ambitions, whether they be to lead your class or to be maj or of the battalion . How' is the R at Tat comin g on ? I hope they will be successful in g etting out a good hook. If they want any jokes, you know all th ey h ave to do is to call on me and send me tw enty or thirty cents, and I wi ll g et a "Puck" and "Judge" and send them some good ones ri g ht clown in a clay or two. Now, please don 't an swer thi s if yo u don't wi sh an d if you think it is putting yo u to too much expen se. If, however, you clo feel like w ritin g t o me, I would be very g lad to h ear how you are gettin g along and how all the fellows ar e. If you do decide to write. t elegraph me, and I wi ll senrl you a stamped envelope and some paper. Give my best regards to the boys and to M r . Kashner. If yo u ever get hungry and haven't any. mon ey, let me know , and I will sen d m y ch eck for $5.00 to Mr. Kashner. w ith order s t o him to let you deal it out. \ iVith much love a nd pleasant recollecti on s of the past.

But under another form and name it had been doing its work during nearly a hundred previous years, and is, therefore, one of the oldest Colleges in the country. At the City of St. Mary's, then the capital of Maryland, as early as 1671, the Upper House of the General Assnnbly passed an Act "for fournling and erecting a school or college for the education of youth in learning and virtue." This was followed by the Act of 1696, establishing KING WILLIAM'S SCHOOL, which was opened 1701. Here were educated some of the most distinguished sons of Maryland-physicians, lawyers, statesmen, clergymen -and pre-eminent among the brilliant number was William Pinkney, whose learning and eloquence have a national fame. KING WILLIAM'S SCHOOL was, in 1784, merged into St. Joh n's College, which has thus been connected with the State of Maryland from the early times of colonial history. Francis Scott Key, author of our favorite national ode, and Rererdy Johnson, distinguished as a lawyer and a statesman, are among the alumni, and many others, scarcely less eminent, could be mentioned. LOCATJON AND. ACCESS. The College is pleasantly situated at Annapolis, on the banks of the Severn River, a few miles from the Chesapeake Bay. Nothing in the country surpasses the picturesque beauty of. its situation. The college green is spacious, amply shaded, and most attractive to the eye, while the campus, in the rear, is admirably adapted for sports. Bordering the grounds, "College Creek," a branch of the Severn, affords every facility for swimming and boating. Indeed, the situation combines every ad vantage desirable for a college. The buildings are large, commodious, and well adapted for purposes of both classical and technical education, and could accommodate two hundred students. Annapolis bas railroad communication with Baltimore and Washington, several times a day, daily steamboat connection with the former city, and telegraphic connection with every part of the country. �BOARD OF VISITORS AND GOVERNORS.

COURSES OF STUDY. The Collegiate Department embraces four groups of studies for undergraduates, each occupying four years, viz: 1. The Classical and the Latin-Scientific, both of which lead to the degree of Bitchelor of Arts. 2. The S@ientific and Mechanical Engineering conrsi;, which lead to the degree of Bachelor of Science. The scheme of study in the different groups, arranged for the sake of comparison, in parallel columns, will be found on pages 31 to 33. In order to obtain one of the above-mentioned degrees, a student must have completed satisfactorily the course as herein laid down, but ·for such as may not be studying for a degree, select courses will be arranged according to the option of the parents or guardians, subject to the approval of the Faculty. On the successful completion of such special courses, certificates will be given. Post-graduate courses are arranged for those graduates who wish to become candidates for the Master's Degree. REMARKS ON COURSES. It is to be seen that in the classical course, the study of Mathematics is discontinued after the first term of the Junior year, at which point the study of the sciences begins. The classical student will thus devote some time to scientific study, the particular branches being elective. Also, the student of the Latin Scientific. Course, ·taking no Greek at all, and discontinuing Mathematics at the end of the Junior year, enjoys a fuller course of English, and begins the study of science earlier than the classical student. In the Scientific and Mechanical Engineering Course, in which neither Latin nor Greek it! required, four years are given to Zoology; Botany, Physics, Chemistry, and to Mathematics.. Also, in the Scientific Course, four years are given to the study of English. A full course in both French and German is required for every degree. No'student will be permitted to discontinue any study, except . at the close of the term, and then only at the written request of his parent or guardian. Students pursuing a select course may enter any class for which they are fitted, the number of their studies being subject to the direction of the Faculty.

EXAMINATIONS. --:o:-Written examinations on the studies of the entire term are held at the close of each term. The marks of these examinations are combined with the marks for daily recitations, to make up the student's standing for the term. Any student, whose examinations at the close of a year shall evince an incapacity .on his part to pursue with advantage the studies of the cl~ss to which he belongs, will have offered to him on the first qay of the next year, an opportunity to retrieve his lost position, and rn default of doing so, will be reduced to a lower class. A student deficient in know ledge, or persistently neglectful of any study, is at any time liable to be reduced to a lower class in. that study. No speci11J examination is granted except upon a phy~ician's certificate of sickness on the day of examination, or other cause which the Faculty m&y accept as adequate ground. MERIT ROLL. A merit roll is kept, and each recitation is noted on the grade of from 0 to 5.

Latin.-The study of Latin extends through,rnt the Classical and .Latin Scientific courses. CIRCULAR OF ST. JOHN;S COLLEGE. .• 35 In the work of the Freshman year special attention is given to t~e structure o~ ~he L'.ttin_ senten~e, as illustrated in select portions of ~he writings of Cwero, Livy and I,Ioracie, and as unfolded through frequent written and oral exercises in Latin prose co~pos~tion: But the chief ~b~ect.of the course is the study of Latin literature, through a cntwal reading of selections from the most important authors in historical succession, viz: In the Sophomore year, Cicero, and the Ciceronian,and Augustan poets· and ~n the Junior and Senior years, Plautus, Quintilia.n, Tacitus: Persms and Ju venal. This reading is accompanied in the Junior year by a study of topics relating to the history of Latin litetature. Greek.-There will be four recitations a week in the Greek LOurse which will extend over three years. During the Freshman year the student will read Attic Prose Authors and a portion of Homer's Iliad. .He will h~ve ~aily exercises, both orally and at the blackboard, rn ti•anslatrng rnto Greek. Such a drill will begiven upon every point of Grammar, that this subject will be thoroughly mastered. During the Sophomore year selections from Herodotus and Thucydides will ·be read. The Junior class will read selections from the wo~ks of Plato, Euripides, Demosthenes, or Sophocles. Lectures will be given in the ~reshman and Sophomor~ classes upon Greek Mythology, Manners and customs, and History of Greek Literature and Greek A~t. Duri~g the ~ophomo~e and Junior years daily practice will be had m readrng at sight. In addition to the prescribed course, one weekly exercise, illustrative of the style and the vocabulary of the author read, will be required. An advanced course may also be pursued in the Senior year. DEPARTMENT OF MODERN LANGUAGES. The M~dern Languages in general are taught by a method, the essential ,features of which are, 1. ~cqui:ing fluency in speaking, re:tdiug and writing. 2. 'Ieachrng the grammar by the language, and not the lan. guage by the grammar. t 3. Using translation not as means of impartin{)' the fore·10a ll . o ongue, b ut as a test of obtained results. French.-in the first year the students acquire the knowledge I I �CIRCULAR OF ST. .10llN1S COtt:E:<lEl. CiRCULAR OE ST • .roHN 1S COLLEGE. of the language, in speaking, reading and writing, necessary !or the ordinary intercourse.of life. As to verb forms, this includes the infinitive, past participle, present indicative, indefinite past, and future simple. In the second year, exereises with tlie present indicative, indefinite past, and future, are at first given, followed by the imperfect, the conditional, the preterit, the subjunctive, and by a~l the modes and tenses taken together .. The whole grammar 1s then given in French, followed by a study of selected pieces from the best French authors. Letter writing is also included in the exercises. In the third year, a condensed course of French literature is given, together with ·biographical notes of the authors, ~xpla~a­ +.ion of their tendencies, and selected extracts of thell' chief works. German.-This language is taught in the same way, though special attention is given in tfie second year to the passive voice and the "oratio obliqua." Italian and Spanisli.-The study of these languages is entirely elective, and if pursued an extra charge will be made. DEPARTMENT OF MATHEMATICS. The required studies in" Ma.thematics include Geometry, with problems and exercises in Geometrical invention; Algebra, Plane and Spherical Trigonometry, with their application to problems in Surveving and Navigation, and Analytic Geometry. Ju the.Junior year the study o~ the Calculus; and in the Senior year of Applied Mechanics, is pursued in the Scientific and Mechanical Engineering courses. Elementary and Practical Astronomy is taught in the Senior year. DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL SCIENCE. The studies of the several classes have been so arranged as to make instruction in Physics and Chemistry a promrnent part of the Collegiate coLuse. Additions are from time to time made to the philosophical ap[ut'.Ltus and every effort used to make the laboratories and cauinet as complete as possible. · Contributions for illusttations of any of the branches of the C.epartment will be thankfully rECei ved. • Some important changes having recently beeo made in this department, and an account of the work as now organized is here given. 1. Biology.-Tbe scientific study of the F.reshman Year will consist of courses in general Biology and Botany. The course in Biology will be held during the first term and part of the second. It will consist of a series of lectures combined with appropriate te~t boo~ work, ~~d reference to authority-the whole planned Wlth a view to g1vmg the students a general knowledge of the · most important types of life, from the Protozoa to the Vertebrates especially as to the relationship. of one 1ype to another. Clas~ demonstrations will. be given, both in microscopic 11ud gross dissection, the student being, as far as po;;sible, familiarized with the use of the microscope and the simpler dissection" methods During this course, plant life will be studied .with reference to its biological nearing. and in the early S:FJring the studv of individual plants will be taken up in Botany. Special ~ttention will be given to plant analysis, and frequent excursion's will be made so as to study the habits of various plants. Students will be required to analyze from 100 _to 125 specimens. and are expected to be~~me so familiar with the characteristics of twenty ?r more fam1he~, that they can recognize at sight plants belongmg thereto. Stevens Manual of Botany will be the text ?ook used and courses will be given in structur.il and phyEiolog- ical Botany. Laboralory fees are $2.50 per term. 2. Physics.-Tbe subject is pursued during the J nnior year. The first term is employed in the study of Mechanics and the properties of matter (including Kinematics, D:Ynamics and Gravitation); also of the subjects of Sound, (including vibrations sonnJ. waves, reflection and refraction, harmony and- music and velocity of sound), and of Heat., (including beat effects, teO:perature, molecular changes, kinetic theory of matter and tbermody namics.) ~be se?ond t~rm o~ that year is given· to Electricity and Magnetism, (mcludmg the general properties of electric charges, induction and conduction, properties of steady electric currents general properties of magnets and magnetic fields, ar.d induced currents); also to the study of !'ight, (including the wave theory, spectra, colors, double refraction and polarization.) �CIRCUJ,Alt OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE. 38 39 CIRCULAR o:F s±. JOHN;S cottEGE. The work consists of daily recitations from Ames' Theory of Physics, accompanied with experiments b_y the _Lecturer, and a Laboratory Oourse of two hours weekly, rn which course problems will be worked and experiments performed in all the above named brar.chea of Physical 8cience. . 3. Oliemistry.-The first term 0f thit Sophomore year. is devoted to the study of general Chemistry. Remsen's Chemistry-'" briefer Course-is the text book used. During this term t_he student is familiarized with the general prinmples and theories of Inorganic Chemistry, illustrated by appropriate experiments. Each student is provided with a desk and the necessary reagents and apparatus. He is required to perform pers~nally a~l the ~x­ periments contained iii a laboratory manual of mor?'~mc chemistrv (Williams), under the direct personal supervision of the Professor. Special attention is given to this course a~d every endeavor will be made to keep it abreast with the requirements of current Chemical Science. Additions in the way of appa: ratus are being Cionstantly made, and a chemical library, cop.taining the latest and most necessary books, is at the disposal of the student. The total Laboratory expenses are assessed at $7.50 per term, and must be paid in advance of the course to the Treasurer of the College. . During the second term of the Sophomore ~ear the subJect of organic Chemistry is taken up. Lect~res, illustrate.a by experiments, are given throughout th~ en~ire year. The.text book is Remsen's Organic Chemistry, whwh is used as a basis for both lectures and laboratory work. In view of the fact tha~ many students, who intend making medicine or pha~macy_ their ?r::ifession, desire organic chemistry, special attent10n will be given to their needs in this course, in order that they may se~u_re more detailed chemical information than schools of medwme a~d pharmacy usually are able to give. ~n ad~ition t? cl.ass work i:i organic Chemistry, a course is also given, m Qua:itatne Ana~ysis combined with a course in Organic and Inorgamc pre~a~at10ns. The text books used are Renouf's Inorganic Pi·eparat10ns al'.!.d Stoddard's Qualitative Analysis. The.e.bove work is finished at the end of the first term of the Junior y<!'ar. · At the beginning of the secoiW term the student familiarizes 0 • himself with the action of the ordinary reagents on each of those chemical. elements usually encountered. Quizzes are held at intervals and students are taught to inquire into and understand the scientific reasons for what they are practising. For such students as desire to take Advanced Chemistry, there is provided a course beginning with the second term of the Junior year and continued throughout the Senior year, consisting of laboratory work in Quantitative Analysis, manipulation of chemical balance, calibration of e:1diometer, correction of gas volumes for pressure, temperature and water vapor, graduation, calibration and correction of apparatus fo1~ the measurements of liquids, determination of molecular weights and specific gravity, test of the purity of butter; general determinations of ores, acids and the elements, and reading in theoretical chemistry. 'Provision is also made for students desiring instruction i:o. special lines of chemical work. The laboratory expenses for the Senior year are $7.50 per term. For the advanced course the expenses are about the same. Special attention is called to the amount of these expenses.They average less than the usual amount charged, and it is belieYed that no college in the country affords its stude:1ts equal opportunities at so small a cost. DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY, THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE AND LITERATURE. In this Department instruction will be givenIn History.-A thorough knowledge of Greek and Roman History is believed to be the basis of all hidtorical study, and these will first be cardully learned. This will be followed with a general outline of history as contained in Myers' Manual of Medireval .and Modern History. . The Advanced History (elective in Senior Year) consists of a critical study of the financial and political history of the United States. A. course of reading from political documents and papers of pro~inent statesmen is supplemented by lectures and conver. sational discussions. The course is most advantageously pursued .in connection with th~ c~urse in Advanced Political Economy, but it may be followed independentIV. . " �CIRCULAR OF ST. JOHN'S - COLLEGE. 40 41 CIRCULAR OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE. ... In English Language and Literatitre :Under this head the History of the English Language is traced from its earliest forms to the present, and its development is illustrated by the study of selections from different periods.Special attention is giv~n to the literary and historical side of the language. The litemture of a language or a country can not be divorced from its history. In the Freshman and Sophomore Classes an effort is made to ground the student thoroughly in the principles of logical and and rhetorical analysis; special stress is laid upon ~he sentence and the paragraph; an attempt is made to familiarize the student witli a general outline of the scope .and progress of our literatureThe J nnior and Senior Classes are concerned more especially with the Anglo-Saxon and Middle English periods; some acquaintance with the language of these periods is deemed an indispensable basis of English Grammar. While the student is furnished with a key to the rich and historically invaluable literature of our ferefathers, he is at the same time given an opportunity to know the inner nature, the inherent power, the unique dignity, and the right to precedence justly due his mother tongue. .• Ea?h student also has several hours practice per week in the drawmg room, rece1ving .instruction in mechanical, l' . . . rnear-pert . spec ive, isometncal and free-hand drawing.

'l'he Ini;itructor in charge of the Militil.ry Department IS an officer of the Regular Army, and a graduate of the U. S. Military Academy, West Point, N. Y. The military exercises therein conducted are confidently recommended to parent:s and guardians as a means of giving to the student aµ erect and soldierly bearing, of teaching him habits u~ prompt and ready obedienoe, and of affording a systematic and healthy exercise each day. All stuuents, except those physically disqualified, are required to attend the drills, nnd for those who apply to be _excused because of physical disability a physician's certificate will be required. The names of the three of the students most distinguished for their proficiency in this department are reported each year to the Adjutant-General of the Army at Washington, and to the Adjutant-General of the State. It is probable that, in future, appointments to the Army from civil life will be made from those who have thus been recommended tG the Adjutant-General of the Army. The following cadets were reported in 1902 to the AdjutantGeneral, U. S. Army, as having the highest standing in the Military Department of St. John's College: Cadet Maior, W. 0. Spates; Captain, E. H. Tarbutton and Captain, C. S. Despard. For purpose of tactical instruction. the stl).dents will be organized into a battalion of four or more companies, designated Companies "A," "B," "U," "D," &c., Corps of Cadets of St. Joh n's College. Those cadets who have successfully completed the theoretical course in Military Science and Tactics given to the Junior and Senior Classes, may, upon the discretion of the Commandant of Cadets, be transferred to an honorable and distinguished class, to be-known as "The Reserve Class of the Military Department of St. John's College." The Staff will consist of an Adjutant, a Quarter-Master, a Sergeant-Major and a Quarter-Master Sergeant, &c. Each Company will have the following Officers and Non-Commissioned Officers: One Captain, two Lieutenants, one First Sergeant, four Sergeants, four Corporals. CIRCULAR OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE. 47 1 'The Officers and Non-Commissioned Officers will be selected by the Commandant of Cadets, with the approval of the President of t.he College, for their soldierly bearing and attention to and knowledge of military duty. As a rule these appointments will be made according to classes. II, PRACTICAL INSTRUCTION. The practical instruction in this school will consist in daily drills of not moroi than one hour's duration. The Cadets will be· exercised and instructed during the year in the Infantry Drill Regulations of the U. S. Army, comprising the School of the Soldier, the School of ~he Company, and School of the Battalion. Breech-loading rifles whh accoutrements, and the necessary ammunition are supplied by the Ordnance Devartment, U. S. Army. III. THEORETICAL INSTRUCTION. This will comprise recitations in Infantry Drill Regulations and portions of U. S. Army Regulations during thr second term of the Junior year, to which will be added in the first term of the Senior yliar a course on other l\Iilitary subjects, including Organzat10n of Armies, Preparations for War, Mino1 Tactics. CONCERNING UNIFORM AND REGULATIONS. The uniform is required to be worn at all times, and all UoL lege students are required to provide themselves with it. To insure uniformity in' material and pattern, it is advisable that all uniforms be made under a contract which has been entered into. The uniform of the Corps of Cadets is a modification of that worn at the U.S. Military Academy, West Point, N. Y., and is as follows: For the Battalion proper (consisting of all College students, and those pupils of the Preparatory Department of sufficient size), blouse and trousers of grey cloth. (The cost of the blouse is $10.00; trousers, $5. 75.)

Students mav board in th.e College Club, or in private families, ~ut are not allowed to board at, or frequent hotels or other pub- lic houses where intoxicating liquo1:s are sold. . The Boarding Department of the College in all its branches is under the supervision of the President. The boardin"' houses will be closed during the Christmas and Summer vacati~ns. A College co-operative boarding club has been organized i~ place ~f the College Commons, and has been. successfully carried on during past years. Under this system at the close of each month, an inventory is fa ken, all accounts are settled and the expenses are divided among the members of the club.· An auditing committee is then appointed each month by the club, to examine the books of the commissary and to repor~ to the club. Each member must advance $10.0(1 at the commencement cf ea~h .month, and at the close must pay the ba:-lance due, as no deficit is allowed to run into the following mouth. . The exact cost of board for next year, including washing, hgh~s and room rent, cann.ot be known, as market prices vary. but .1t may be safely estimated to be about $170 for the whofo sess10n.

W"oodward Born in Maryland of E nglish descent, a nd of a family that traces its history in this country back to the colonial clays, when St. J ohn 's College was first estab lished, Mr. vVooclward passed the early years of hi s life at "Edgewood, " the old family home in An ne Arundel County. Going to New Yo rk, a lad, soon after th e close of the Civil War, his first bu sin ess connection was formed in that city. In th e early seventies he became a director of the H a no,·er National Bank, and m r877 was elected to the presidency of the Bank, being at that time the youngest bank president in New York . \\.hen he assumed the presid ential chair of th e H a nover Bank the deposits of the Ban k were $6,ooo,ooo. Th ey are now $7 4,ooo,ooc... There could be no more striking or suffi cient ev idence of the wisdom of his management. But M r. \iVooclward has a broader sphere of influence than that which he fills eve n as the presiden t of the great bank. In the prelimin ary d iscussions relative to the placing of large investments, in negot iations that precede bond sales by the Unit eel States Treasury, in the determination of financial policies, his views a re influential a nd a lways incline to the side of safety a nd of prudence. At a meetin g of the Clearin g H ouse Associati on, held on October fourth , r8g8, he was unanimou sly elected President of th e Association, an office at once of much dignity and responsibility. And he is at present Cha irma n of the Clearing H ouse Committee . This Commi ttee, the most importa nt one, directs the man age ment of the Association. In spite of all his busi ness cares and respo nsibi lities, he maintains a lively, sustained interest in the well-being of his native State of Maryland. He delights in visiting his esta te, "Belair ," near Collington , Maryland , where he finds great pleasure and recreation in fox huntin g across country, maintaining worthi ly 5 �a tradition of sport th at has always been th e fa vorite pastime of American gentlemen. Here are to b e seen his kennels and stable of hunters. T hrough his generous gifts to churches, and educational and charitable institutions in M aryland, he has performed in the most un ostentatious manner a work of untold valu e . Fore-word ' by re-invigorating the impoverished conditions so frequ entl y to be found in the coL ;ntry di stri cts of the lower part of the State. In special he has restored ami beau tiliecl St. Stephen's Church, near his own farm in Anne Arundel County, a nd has built a new rectory and parish hou se.

This school seem s to have fl ou rished for about eighty-fi,·e years; ed ucating for th e state a nd na tion , men distin guished in th e early hi story of th e country. In 1732 p roposals for founding a college at Annapolis were brought before the L egisla ture. but no action vvas ta ken. In 1763 the project was again revi,·ed . \\ 'i llia m Ed rlis, th e Sur veyor of Custom s at the P ort of Annapoli,;, wri tes to a fri end in England , that " it has been determin ed to repair the damages to the mela ncholy a nd mould erin g mo nument, form erly designed for the Gm·ern or '~ mansion, a nd to de,·ote it to the purposes of collegiate education. " T his bu ilding referred to by Mr. Eclclis, is now i\fcDowell H all. It was form erly called " Blade n 's Folly. " or th e" Governor's F olly," owing to the man:· years consum ed in erecting it. The building was begun in 1744 a nd was not fini shed until 1791, owing, it i~ ~ai d to th e num erous (jllarrels between Governor Bladen a nd th e Legislat ure. O n Dece mber rt , 1789, the College was formally opened, with J ohn McDowell , LL.D., a~ Prin cipal. The dedication was performed with mu ch solemnity, a ll th e public bodies IJci ng in a tte nd a nce, a nd formin g a long procession from the State H ouse to .M cDo well H a ll. M cDowell Hall is the central one of our college buildings, facing College Ave nu e and looking d irectly clow n Prin ce George Stree t. Situated on th e rig ht of the !vfcDoweJl , is Humphreys H all ; on the left is Pinkney, whil e a little to th e r ear an d between Pinkney and :McDowell can be seen our new d ining hall , kitchen a nd dormitory co mbined , whi ch is in progress of erection . In th e center of th e .M cDowell, o n the first fl oor, is our O ld Chapel. Deco ra ting its walls arc t he shield s of a ll the classes sin ce '7r. It was in this chapel that Lafayette a nd Washin gton were feted a nd banqueted. H ere abo ha ,·e been heard the ma id en speeches of the most fam ous ora tors of 1\faryland. The chapel ex tend s to th e entire height of t he building and a ncient doors ope n into it from the surrounding roo ms. Th e Faculty roo m a nd th e President's office are on its right. Th e Philokalian Society has its room in the western section on th e third fl oor , while the Philomathean Society occupies the room in the eastern corn er of th e same floor. Th e other roo ms are used as rec itation halls. The eastern corner of the base ment is used as the 'Yiecha nir:tl E ngineering D epartment, and the western corner is fitted up with shower baths a nd lockers for use of th e football and base ball team s. 15 • �Henry Williams Woodward Hall This buil d ing is the nc1vest o n the Campus, it being completed in r9 ::>::>. It imp resses the casual observer as being a very old buildin g, but in order th a t the stru cture might harmo nize with the other venerable ed ifices, it was built in Classic Colonial style. It is constru cted of brick, with marble trimmings. In th e fr ont a nd rear rise beautiful Corinthian column s, while lead in g to the entran ce are th e la rge marble steps, wh ich give a n added dignit y to th e building. Pa ssing throug h the door on t he left we fin d ourselves in th e li brary. Here the Colon ial style is prevalent. The woodwork is all of dark walnut. Th e room is lighted by gasjets in the shape of old -fashi oned candelabra . At one end of the li brary i ~ a large fire-place, with a n imposin g mantel. The windows are set in deep a nd und er each is a nice cozy seat. Th e panes a re of th e small style, which k ind was very commo n in " ye old en times." T he L ibrary co ntains about 8ooo 1·olumes, a nd it numbers a mo ng the collection ,;o me of th e most valuable referen ce books in ex istence, especially th ose relating to our early Colonial hi story. There are in th e Library a great number of volumes which were brought over from E ngland a nd presented to the College. These, together with the others, form a ery valua ble and interesting collection. The majo rity of these old 1·olumes are bound in pig-skin a nd most of them are still in a good state of preservatio n. The Librarv is also we il eq uipped wit h th e latest a nd best works on the most im porta nt subjects. All th e lead in g period icals are received and they are afterwards preser ved a nd bound . There is also a mple accomm oda tion for the reader. A very la rge walnu t tab le, togeth er with severa l verv comfortab le ch a ir~, h as recently been purchased and one can sit back a nd enjoy him se lf to his heart 's conte nt. The Library is a lways open between th e hours of th ree a nd fou r o'cloc k. Professor D aniels has cha rge, a nd und er his able supervisio n, the Library i ~ kept in good co nd ition . O n entering the bu ilding through the door on the right we come to the door leading to the Biologica l L a bora tory, which is ~eparated from the Libra ry by a spacious hallway. T his laboratory is well equipped with microscopes a nr:J other instruments necessary fo r sc ientifi c research. Separa te locke rs a nd desks have been prov ided for each stud e nt. Asce ndi ng the stairway in the rear of the hall one reaches the Chemical and Physical L abora tories. H ere has been fitted up at a great ex pense one of th e finest laboratories 17 �n the South . There are sixty-fiv e lockers and along the wall s a nd under the hoods can be found the necessary apparatus for delving into the mysteries of scien ce. Th e St. John 's laboratory is th e repository of the standard weights and measure" of Maryland. Passing through th e small ante-roo m leading from th~ Chemical L aborat-~ry we find ourselves in the th e lecture a nd reci tation room . The mal n part of t~e room 1_~ o~c uplecl by seats, while along th e walls can he found a most valuable collectwn of sc1 ent1fic apparatu s. . . The basement of the \Vooclward H a ll is used as th e Arm ory. \Vh en the_ weather ~ s mclement, the drills are held here. It is also fitted up with 11:oals, and dunng the wmter is used by the Basketball T eam. 18 Pinkney Hall Facing College Avenu e a nd si tua ted on the left of the M cDowell H all is Pinkney Hall. This building is named after William Pinkney, a di stin guished Alumnus a nd a man foremost a mong our country's orators. Three sides of th e hall are co1·erecl with ivy, which gives th e building a ve ry imposi ng a nd dignified appearance. Almost directly in front of it is the Old Liberty Tree, fresh lookin g a nd green, with ivy climbing up its bough s. This tree is old er than even " ye a ncient city of Annapoli s.'' Pinkney H all was erected in rSss, through the able efforts of Dr. Humphreys, who was then President of St.John 's. The Hall is four stories high a nd is used as a dormitory for the college students. .!VIa ny have been the anecdotes that have been related co ncerning the pranks a nd hazing expeditions th a t have been carri ed on beneath these walb by former occupants, a nd it is needless to sa,y that the prese nt generation has not o n!~- eq ualled , but, as we all know, has far surpassed all former a ttempts in this bran ch of our cu rri culum. An old custom of the hall was, that the Freshmen should room on the fourth 11.oor , the Sophomores on the third . The Se ni or s usually chose the best rooms on th e ftrst an d second fl oors and the r emaining ones were left to the Juniors. Now there has been a radical change. There are Seniors, Juni ors , Sophomores a nd Freshmen on th e fourth floor. The third floor is mostly occupied by Freshmen and Sophomores, but a few Juniors have picked the best rooms. It is of the second floo r tha t we fee l constrained to speak. Formerly there were no Freshm en on this floor, but now this element seems to predo min a te ; a nd if this co ntinues we are sore afraid that the time is com ing when they will even aspire either to "The Flats'' or the Y . M . C. A. san ctuary. On the first 11.oor we find ano ther mixture of this species of the genus Fresh-H omo. O n entering Pinkney Hall one becomes inspired by th e sight of so many placard s wh ich decorate the fl oor a nd walls. Th ese proclaim each clay the wailin gs and la mentatio ns of some mi sguided yo uth who has been imposed upon. T he first door to the right of the entra nce is occupied by Miss Bob vVhite, who, since our last meeting, has been promoted to th e sacred precin cts of Old Pinkney, a nd strange to say she Gmnot imagin e that she has at last reached a state of civiliza ti on higher tha n the barbaric condi tio ns to which she was formerl y subj ected. Turning to the left you gaze wi th wo nderment upon the majestic beauties of the first floo r. Here elwell some of the most noted characters of this institution. Beginning with the first floor on th e right we might make mention of our esteemed frater , Sporting Life, alias \Valking Death, Chauncey Olcott a nd a few other pseudonyms. F ritzy seems to keep up the reputation of th e floor thi s year in hi s usual retrograde man ner. 19 �The second fl oor ha~ some very great celebrities. Among th ese Ge neral Gra nt is first an d foremost , while Pat D ougherty and Ril y E lge n seem about neck a nd neck in th e r ace. It is from Ril y 's room th a t one can usually hear the_ beau tiful strains of " There's a T ear in Y our Eye, M olly da rling," wafted along. Th e second AoOJ in days gone by was noted for its love of music, a nd yo u could generaliy hear the sound of mand olin s at any hour of the day, but thi s seems to h ~v e asce nded to the third A oor, a nd now th e dreadful monotony is broken only by the clink of poker chi ps as they are thrown upon the table. . . . It is sufficient to say of th e third floor that with the exceptw n of mustcal 1nstruments, no great demonstrations a re expected of its inh a bita nts. No w we reach th e hot bed of corruption, the fourth A oor. Thi s A oor has always been accorded the grea t distinction of having made more noise tha n all t he o ther Aoors . And it is very evident th at the present occupa nts will not be the ones to lose tha t honor . At a ny h our of th e ni ght or mornin g- in fact all day- you can hear noise. They serve noise in two di stin ct forms, you can receive it eith er by gettin g a heer keg hurled a t you from above or by the explosion of fire crackers. The form er species of No ise is, however, parti cipated in more fr eely tha n the la tter. The fourth A oor is also the seat of the " H ot Cat Club , " a nd ma ny are the secret meetings th at have been held in th at infern al region. O n the whole, Pinkney H all is a J oint,- yes, some kin d of ~l J oint, to put it mildly. B ut it is a good place to li ve, and is especiall y recomm ended to th e noble order of the "Sons of the R estful. " Humphreys Hall ;, N ow we come to a buildin g that ought to have a place in " Th e H a ll of Fame ." This hall has not only been imm ortali zed durin g the past year, but has gain ed for itself a na tio nal reputa tion. It was up th e ri ck ety and a ncient staircase of this buildin 0 t ha t " The Char 0 urre of th e Li ght Brigade " was made; and it was on thi s sa me stairway tha t the a ttackin g force was thri ce repu lsed . H owever, they fi nally succeeded in reachin g th e top a nd by vanq uishing the custodi a n they thereby wo n honor a nd glory. Thi s im posin g edifice was erected in r83 5, a nd was na med after D r. Hum phreys, a ma n who had clo ne very mu ch to promote th e interests of th e college. For a num ber of years the college stude nts had the preference of th e rooms in either Hum phreys or Pickney H all , but now Hum phreys is reser ved especially for the P reps. T he P reps. ar e a heterogeneous mixture, a nd occasiomdly they ma ke blunders by showing th eir verd ant fea tures within the sacred precincts of Old P ickn ey,- to their everlas ting regret. F or it is a n old custom that when th e fi gure of a P r ep. looms up within th e consecra ted walls of Pi ckn ey Hall he is a t once r eferred to th e " F ourth F loor D elegation," a nd verily, verily, I say unto yo u, tha t there is sure to be "something doi ng." Humphrey s H all is in cha rge of Stryker, Von Schwerdtner, Ri ppere & Co ., a nd mighty great men are they- especially the latter ; as to his charac ter we will refer yo u to Smith, M errym a n, J amison & Co., who are a t present engaged in writin g a biography a nd compiling character sketches of hi s life. The h all form erly conta in ed the Library a nd Armory, but they have long sin ce been transferred to vVoodward H all, where the space is more adequa te. Th e roo ms they previously occupied on th e first floor a re now used by the family of P rof. Stryk er. Prof. Von Schwerd tn er spends two nights a wee k in the H all, while inflicting hi s strict d iscipline over the unfor tun ate Preps. T h e old H all has a lso oth er num erous fun cti ons to perform , a nd they a re very dear to the heart of both coll ege studen t a nd Prep. In the basement are the two d ining halls; the one on the right is used by the college stu de nts, while th e one on the left is u sed by th e Preps. In the rear of th e basement 11·e fin d the culin a ry departm e nt, p resided over by M r. Dustin. vVell, enough is said of Old Hum phreys a nd we tru st tha t when our new dining hall is co mpleted we shall ha1·e more spacious q uarte rs. 20 2t �Preparatory School First Class S. R .

Gan·er received a cablegram from the ' 'High :viogal" instructing him to gather unto him hi s legio ns of dusky servitors and prepare a nursery a nd g rand recepti on for a new Freshman Class. About th e te nth the students began to return. O ld n1.en came, saw a nd greeted , new men ca me, sa11· and wished th emselves home or dead. Home! how that little word stirred up fond recollecti o ns ; how th e eyes filled , a nd the lips quivered when some hard-hearted and seasoned Soph crooned th e sweet strains of " H ome, sweet H orn e," for the poor little Freshie 's especial benefit. The Freshmen that came from the Prep School were better off in this respect, beca use they had been here a year , a nd were, one might say, on more congenial ter ms with the Sopho mores and knew the place better. By th e time the entrance exa ms. were over, the new men began to feel more at home, a nd college life did not seem so bad after all. But for week s yo u wo uld now a nd then see some poor little freshma n off in so me secluclecl corner with a faraway expression on hi s face, thinking a nd dreaming of those hap py days spent a round the pa ternal hearth -rug , where he but had to bear the kidding of older brothers, may hap, instead of the merciless ba nter of a whole Soph omore Class. This soon passed away, howeve r, for the Sophs ha1·e no t made our life unbearable so fa r, but have been very good to us. In . deed there has been a feeling of good fellowship exi stin g throughout th e year between th e two classes. A wee k or ten clays aft er school opened ca ndidates for the G lee Club were summ oned to room 35 by num erou s noti ces on all doors a nd other conspicuous plclces throug hou t Pinkney H all . These noti ces were somethin g like thi s : G L EE CL UB T ONIGHT ! ALL FRESHMEN REPORT, ROOM 35, II.OO P .M. 30 A large num ber of old er stud ents were present, and enjoyed the fun ,·ery mu ch. Although the actors in thi s little cast were very nervo us a t first, they warmed to th eir wo rk an d soon had th e aud ience in an uproar. It was only fun for all present, a nd man y a new ma n who laughed with the rest was brought back from hi s soarin gs in the realm of mirth a nd hilarity to thi s scene of " fun for the Sophs, ' 'by th e Grand R oyal Toad in the Puddle of th e G. 0 . H . 's thundering in a wful tones" Wipe that smil e off your f ace~ " So me tim e later the rules we re read to us by the Sop hs, who appea red in the Freshme n 's rooms in th e yo ung hours of a November m orn ing, when the thermomete r was clown to about 71 helo11· Cairo, and yanked us out of bed on to an ice cold floor to stand at at te ntion while some ,l.(hostly clad Soph (for it was a ghostly and impressively a ttired crowd), read the " Ten Comma nd ments" in a doleful voice. These noble Sophs, a re great lovers of art, especially drawings a nd paintings, and a re also famou s epi cureans. It is a good and great thin g for all colleges to ha1·e enrolled a mo ng its members at least one or two Chri sties or a Gibson or so, and what cla ss is more convenientl y situated for producing future R at-T at illustrators tha n th e Freshma n. For if a yo uthful first year ma n displays a Christy vein of genius, wi ll he not be a great find and help to the College annual ) With th is far-see in g a nd well inten ti oned point in view the Sophs visited us one night, and proceeded to give us our first drawing lesson. We were forced to make bru s hes of our noses, use " Star Shoe Blackenin g" for paint, a nd adorn the walls of our roo ms with beautiful drawings of various kinds. Some of these illustrations were ver v verv fme a nd so life-like that ma ny of th e art lovers present were simply carried a w<;,..' lw . wontlerfu l talent displayed by the yo ung artists. . After this exhibiti on, the class in cooking was called, and as everybody was quite h ungry by thi s tim e, the Sophomores who had read somewhere of a \'Velsh ra rebit, now called for this famo us conglomeration of crackers, cheese, milk , eggs,--and demeritssometimes, when the 0. D. smells the cheese, and butts in on a crowd of midniaht 0 poachers- and the " rabbit' ' has flown " back to the woods.' ' "Sunn y Jim " Seeligma nn ,-olunteered , or 11·as rather for ced into his bib a nd chef 's garb, and ordered to proceed . "A litt le wa ter , just enough to dampen , a nd form a ha tter with a box of Dr. Lvon 's Tooth P owder, mixed in a was h-bowl, a nd stirred with a tooth-brush " was " Sunny 's_.' recip e, got from the ferti le brain of a Soph. Our chef soon had hi s palatable dish beaten -low n to a 31 �:;mouth pl a~t e r and coo kin ~ m-er a 16c Edison. In the meantime, we a re sorry to say\ th e appet ites of our visitors had been ap peased b y "Chessy Cat'' \Vri ghtson-a r oarin g, r oyin g a nd genera l " bad ma n ," who travels about mu ch and sees little, but plays th e s<txa phone to beat th e Dutch. "Chessy" killed th eir lo ngings for the eatable a nd beautiful , by rela tin g just a few of hi s minor ad ventures. Aft er this wonderful recital of hair-breadth escapes, th e Soph s withdrew, leaving us to enjoy" Bunn " " rab bit," a nd the rest of Chessy 's fairy tales. l\lfost of this occurred on the F ourth Floor. "Chessy" Wrightso n is de1·el oping into a fa ir pitcher a nd will ma ke somebody hu stle in th at d epa rtment.

School- from whom most of th e mischi ef a nd humor has sprung- with th e a ddition of a ba nd of youth s gath ered in fr om the var iou · fa rms an d co unti es of .iVIaryla nd. All were raw a nd ex hi bited their gr eenness in un ex pected ways, a lth ough none of them we nt so far as to atte mpt to blow out th e electri c light. \Vhe n Me rryman a nd Fox de cided to r oom together, there were man y who prophesied trouble, for they ha il fr om different to wns, a nd are staun ch in defendin g th eir respective b irth p laces. Coll ege life has sin ce rubbed off most of the moss, a nd the cla ss has ere this in b ibed enough world ly so phi stry to co nside r itself capab le of passing judgment on most of the a ffai rs of thi s world . Our expe ri ences with th e G. 0. H . ha.ve already been set forth in last year 's hi stor y. It is n either necessa ry nor pleas<wt to review th em , yet it may here be sa id that we r ecei,·ed many visits from thi s awful body . H owever, as we usuall y tri ed to obey ord ers, we came out ve ry well , th ough a few received several gen tl e ( ?) rem ind ers th a t a mor e humble d emeanor wou ld be accep table in the futur e. In ap proachin g a m ore seri ous subj ect it mu st be ad m itted th at our class has not a Yery grea t rep utati on for study , still it has some members who stri ve to up hold th e repu tatio n of old 'os in thi s bran ch of a coll egiate education . At the end of th e f1rst term of our F resh man year, we were horrif1ed at th e number off ailures whi ch we had made; but since then we have su cceeded in mak ing up man y of the fa iled br a nches. At present th e class is taking a decided brace, and , a lth ough th ere is yet a verita bl e m ounta in of conditions to be overcome, we bid fair to co me out with flying color s, a nd to graduate with h onors. 41 �Though we may not shine as students, we more th a n hold our own as athletes. In our Freshman year Askey, Bowen , du Val, Green, J amiso n, H opkins, Lilly, M erryman, Neville, P ennell, R asin , Smith , T arbert a nd Valk p layed football. Thi s was a remarkably large number , a nd, co nside ring their weight, their record was an unusually good one. T o see "JVIac " R asin and " Uncle Phil " :Merrym an yelling " hike " and wildly charging along, wo uld brin g a smile to the face of a tombstone. In our Soph omore year d u Val, Green. H opk ins a nd Smith made the first team and distinguished themselves by flll e pl aying. Smith and H opk ins at ends played a fine game, a nd Green at center was exceptionally sure in his passes and playing. Ned du Val covered him self with glory by running ninety yard s for a touch-down in th e Western JV [aryla ncl gam e. \'Ale were not to get throu gh football un scathed , however, for " P arson" Bowen and Valk both got broken collar-bones. In baseball last sprin g alm ost all the cl ass went out, and , reinforced by Askey, a good athlete, wh o joined us at this time, we made a fin e showing on the di amond. Askey, du Val, J amison and T arber t m< the first team, and played a ph enomin ally good game. Lcle Th e Class tea m worked hard , and und er the a bl e captain ship of J amison, it beat the Juniors twenty-four to nin e, a nd was beaten only by th e Sophomores after a hard struggle. This year we h ope to win the In ter-Class Championship. On our return last September we found th at Askey, Brogden, G raham, Lilly a nd G . F. Smith had decided not to continue at St. J ohn 's. We hope some day to meet them ; if not in this world , in the nex t, (preferably the up per, but I fear- I fear- not that they will not get th ere-but). Th e grief caused by these losses was somewhat assuaged by the ad ve nt of Ferrel, G laud en, H arris, K emp, M cBrid e, Trail and Wells who proved very valu a ble additions. F errel , on account of hi s tales of automob iles and yachts, was at once clu bbed "Sporting Life ,'' and the oth ers soon found names expressive of their most prominent a ttributes. These additions qui ckly fitted into the class life, and were soon instru cted in the gentle art of putting Freshm en 's beds on the bum . The class has always sent a large delegation to the hops. Its members are so fa med for dancing th at some unkind persons have been heard to say in regard to the e, that their brains lie in their heels. Social life so appealed to us that it is feared that the majority of the class think mu ch less of their studies than of some fair maiden. Taking us all-round , it must be said that a great number have been a ble to keep their class-pin s, which shows that, although we may have a tendency towards " fu ssing," we a re not so very susceptible; yet N eel du Val has a tendency along thi s line which it seems impossible to curb. L et us hope that "society" will not entirely engulf us, a nd that the class will always stick together as it has in the pas t. As to haz in g, very little has been clone. The Freshmen being of a most generous nature, very kindly provided a musement for the upper classmen. At the beginning of last term th e Freshmen entertained ve ry largely, giving song recitals and welsh-rarebits. Their ingenious mind s would not consent to follow the hackneyed forms of musical per forman ces, so th ey were gently indu ced to sin g P ear 's Soap ad vertisements to the beautiful and classic tune of " M ary H ad a Little L amb." This same craze for originality forced them to substitute soap and tooth-powder for th e beer a nd cheese of conve ntionality. 42 I'hose athl eti cally in cl in ed drew their prospect ive monogra ms, using their noses for a bru sh a nd a pot of shoe- blacking. Th e F reshm en thus di splayed th eir ta lents. vVe fee l deeply ind ebted to them for the ma ny pleasant evenings spent with th em, tho ugh it is fea red th ey cannot say th ey enj oyed th em. Th e Hi stori a n 's task is nearly fini shed , but this annal would not be complete without an acco unt of battl es fought a nd won. As Preps, 11·e fought th e candidates ; as Freshmen, w~ had a n e n co~mter with th e upper class men. It seemed as though this yea r wo uld pass without a confl1 ct ; but fo rtunately- or unfortunately-this was not to be. Abou t midnight of the thirtieth of December, fi1·e Sophomores a nd a few Freshmen crept over t~ the Prep ..School for th e purpose of reading the G. 0 . H. rules to the Preps, whose prel'lous behav ior had show n that they sadly needed correction. Upon a rri ving at Hum phrey's .Hall they 11·ere forcibly and un pleasantly remind ed of the old proverb " forewarned IS forearm ed," when a shower of crockery a nd chairs descended upon their heads as th ey a tte mpted to ascend th e stairs. Th ey retreated in good ord er to ge t re-inforcements, and upon returnmg, th e battl e waged again . Almost the entire Sophomore Class was now .!Jresent, " thirstin g fo ~ ve ngeance." Again and again the sta irs we re cha rged. T he. fig hti ng was f1erce a nd fun ous as the " tides of war rolled to and fro." f or a whil e the 1 ssue was doub tful; but 'os grit fin a lly co nq uered, and the barricade was o 1 ·erthrown. A ft~ r th e fi ght, it w.as seen th a t " mora l suasion'' would not sufficientlv impress th e Preps with a sense of th e1r wro ng-doings; a nd , as all of our class belie1·e in the old adaae : :'Spare th e rod and spoil th e chil d, " th e rod, in the shape of a two-foot club was brou; ht m to play, a nd pr01·ed more effecti1·e in our hands than the curta in -poles of our o ppone~ ts had bee n. . \\' e v vere mu ch surpri sed wh en 11·e foun d that the mcts terly m 2 ner in which th e w They not only susobj ect-lesson had b ~en give n was not ap preciated by the faculty. pended th e lesso n-gn·ers, but also wanted them to pay for the crocken r sm< hecl on their ts ow n heads.

My two most worthy predecessors have acq ua inted you with our earl y doingshow we Game here a~1 aggregation of boys of all descriptions, sizes a nd cond itions, representing every corner of Maryla nd, from the monotonous level of the Eastern Shore, to th e towering blu e of her Western mountai ns; from the duck infested districts of the Su q ueha nna, to the tobacco fields of Charles Cou nty; how this aggregation of uncouth youth s were bound together in a unit, and how this unit ha distingui hed itself by developing into the ba nner clas of college; o it remain for me only to continu e th e narration which has been so well begun . For some unstated reaso n, Field-Day las t spring was postponed; but the College had its class games of l:;aseball. We held up our previous record of C hamp ion hip by defeatina the Seniors twenty-three to three, and th e Freshmen nine to one. In th e June examinations we made a good showing; out of the number that pas ed everythin g, half were from our class. Commencement found us anxious to sojourn in the land of ou r birth ; o we parted with ma ny warm " aux revoir , " look ing forward to September when again we could add other leaves to our laurels. What Time hath in store for us no one ca n foresee. eptember brought back to us not our former twenty-six, but half th a t number. Various causes contributed to this sad change: Death took fr om us our most beloved member Maurice T. mall ; quite a number wishing to ta ke up a professional cou rse, we nt to U n,ive rsities ; one or two becoming overburd ened with knowledge in their Freshman y~ar , followed the d ictates of a self- sati ·fi ed con cien ce in their Sophomore year, and thi · year, fell by the wayside bemourned by all. O ur men are amoncr th e best players. Mudd especi;dl y distinguished himself at Left Guard. Prof. Cain in an add res before the At hletic Association paid him a glowing rribute by saying M udd is one of the be tall -round guards he has ever seen. Wilmer has developed into a star Quarter, a nd , in acknowledgment of hi s good playin rr has been chosen Captain for next year. Give Halbert any position. on the line and he is at home. A n opposing eleve n soon find s it is u eless to try to gain ground through "Moony. " We can not pass Cooper by. He is the embod iment of enthu. iasm, brawn a nd endurance. Our Subs. showed great persistence, though they were too light to hope for a place as r ecrular . "Old Lady " Wilson became a hero by refusing to come out of the ga me at Swarthmore aft er getting his comely mouth smashed. It has been a custom heretofore for the Senior Class to furni sh captain s for the diA"erent branches of athletics ; but this year , we were confronted with something new; the Seniors had no man who would at all compare with some of the Junior · in points of efficiency; so there wa nothing to do but to give lea<iership over to Juniors. M udd has the honor of being th e first Juni or to be Captain of the Baseball T eam. " Benny " is six feet, three, weighs more than a ny other ma n at college, has a gait like a cm,· a nd wears a six a nd a half hat. Why a n overgrown boy of this de cription was given so im porta nt a place may puzzle you. It is simple: " Benny " never was beaten behind the bat; he has ability enough to run the team so as to get the very best results ; a nd i the personification of confidence and enthusiasm. Such attributes are exactly what compose a good captain . Tarbert, anoth er Junior , bas brought like honor to him elf a nd clas by being elected Captain of Track Team. They call T a rbert sleepy, countrified a nd all th at, but when it ca me to getting th e right ma n in the right place, Tarbert was placed at the head of track at hletics. H e is a swift a nd beautiful runner. G lorious old 'o4 is the leadi ng class in athletics. But there are ot her p hase of college life in whi ch we make hi story. Th ere are the class room, the M ilitary Department, theY. M . C. A. and the various other organizations found at every college; but our space is too limited to ad mit of our writing a n extended hi story in these lines ; so we shall have to content our elve · with a short glimpse of th e characters composin g our uni t. Did you ever meet a fellow who recites Shakespeare so as to benefit ( ?) everybody within four blocks, who hums all the rag-time sung on the stage and who wa lks with a n impo ·ing, confide nt air that remind s yo u of a game rooster? He is His E·xcellency to be, J. Wirt Wilmer, our President. Wirt ' story won ' t stand telling. During hi Fre h man year, he was a good , studiou s fellow; but oh the degeneracy of a n unrestrained spirit ! After return everyt hing wa sacrificed to football . On the field ou r men played a prominent part. Wilmer, ~udd , Cooper a nd Halbert were regulars. Wilson G. Stick and H odges made ·ubs. A contrast to him is his next door neighbor on the fourth floor , " O ld Lady " Wilson, our Vice-President. " O ld Lady 's" hab it are settled . True, he smokes, swear a nd play , but he offsets these bad habit by going to Sunday School, telling the truth and refraining from all di sorderly co ndu ct. 52 53 �" Ben H oo"an " Mudd is another F ourth Floorman. ·we predi ct great things for Benny. Th ough hi s head is small , he has in it something more than oft soap. In logic he is somethin" wonderful; he proves without fallacy ( ?) th at ice cream is better th an heaven. During our Freshman year , the class wa · very mu ch troubled over the question of a Y. M . C. A. President when we should become Seniors; but last year our apprehen ions 11·ere allayed by th e arrival from- no one knows where-of a model Chri stian boy, Monsieur Beachley. " Bickley " was an ideal for the position. H e was energetic, thorough a nd had excellent habits; in the clas · room, he took everything by storm ; in his stud y, hi s Now , in the main di version was P ope. But what hath come over thi s delicate rose! class room he tries to take everything by bluff, a nd his main diversion is" pop-iz-z-z. " We are sorely d isappointed. nut we have another candidate, the IT of the cia s, a strikin g yo ung ma n preparing for the ministry. This mistake i called " Pidgeon " Padgett. A description of him mi ght amuse you. H e is five feet, ·ix, has broad shoulders lmw bod)' and short thi ck le"s · ' b ' D ' his head , which re embles nothing so mu ch as a gourd , is set close down onto hi should ers; high forehead , dreamy eyes and ears which tou ch hi s shoulders. His silvery, persuasive eloquence makes him an idol of the Annapolis girls. Notwithstanding appeara nces, " Pid geon " is one of our best men. If predictions be all owed, within twenty years St. J ohn 's will be proud to refer to Bishop Edward Riddl e P adge tt , Alumnu . tra nge to ay, we have a ma n who claim s to be a seco nd Da niel Webster ; but th e only analogy we see is thath e has colossal feet. This tooter of hi s own horn is " Rube" Burroughs from Charles County, God bless her. H e has red ha ir, black eyes, and a grinning vi sage whi ch Prof. Cain pronounces C)'ni cal. H e reads book for la nauaae onl y "' " and write ·tuff containing words which would brea k the jaw of an y man unaccustomed to beef a nd piecrusts ·er ved " a Ia J ack." His roo mmate is a Jew, " H arrie " lvfasenh eim er. " Harrie dear " is mama 's onl v boy and is badly spoiled for hi years. He wears the best clothes, twirls a brass-headed cane and would be called a sport. Cleanliness is his greatest virtu e; he u es a box of Borated Talcum after every bath . Irwin Blaine Somervile,-hum ! buzz! fire! blood! " donner und hlitzen !!! " Did you ·er e1 see a butterfly flutter from place to place and at last settle upon some object suited to it · taste? Somer is in th e flutterin g state, flittin g around here with lightnin g speed ; but when or where he will settle, is a conundrum . are his fri end , con. ultation is quite unnecessary. Learning fl ows spon taneously from thi s astoni shing make-up of our , like water from th e R ock in H oreb.

N othin g will be said about him, for it mi ght impair yo ur confid ence in his veracity, and consequently, in the truthfulness of his statements. From the foregoing sketches, you may think that we are a band of a nything but good students. Exaggeration, in some cases, was resorted to in order to brin g out vivid ly the chief indi vidu al characteristics of the class ; so yo u mu st allow something for " poeti c li cense," considering what the sketch ·uggests, a nd .not exactly what it ·ays. It may seem strange th at a number of fellows with such varied tempera ment hould be bound together like brothers, yet it is true. As was said in the beginning, we are a unit , a perfect unit acting as one. In our class and R AT-TAT Board meetings we never fa il to agree and to be pleased with any actions we may take. In the dormi tory, we are a large family and treat each other a brothers. Tru e, we play tri cks on each other, sucli as upsetting beds, hiding bed-clothes and placing buckets of water above doors, but thi s is not instigated by any feeling of ill will ; it is the escape of surplus steam-as Dr. Fell calls itgenerated in times of physical inacti vity.

Signed: BEACHLEY, WILSO , G., WILMER, Committee. 56 �Junior Poetry Maurice T. Small Our beloveri cla:smate, J\1auri ce T . Small, was born in Baltimore, J\1ay 13, 1883. At seven year of age he entered the public schools of that city, and, by his regular attendance, studious habit ·, and kindly actions toward the other pupiJs, he com pletely gain ed the fri end ·hi p of hi s associates and the high a nd lasting esteem of his teachers. Not being of robust physique, and in consequence of hard work he failed in health, which, when he was fo urteen, compelled him to lose an enti re year's schooling and to spend the time in the country. Hi s health was restored, a nd his study was resumed. The following year he entered Baltimore City College. After one year there, he was successful through competiti ve examin ations in securing a Senatorial Scholarship to St. J ohn 's College a nd enrolled as a member of our class, September 19, 1900. It was permitted him to spend but two years at the in stitution he loved o well. In June, 190 2, he left college for vacati on with high hopes a nd aspirati ons for the ensuing college year: but, alas! " there is a divinity which shapes our ends." On July 2o, 190 2, hi s bright young life was brought to a ·udden and tragic cl ose by d rownin ()', while bathing at a treacherous spot off St. M ichael 's, T alhot Co., Mel. f As a stude nt he was thoroughly conscientious in hi s work, and, by his kind a nd afsable disposition, he easily wo n the fri endship of his class a nd college-mates. His high tandard of scholarshi p placed him a mong th e leaners of his class. In recogrution of his literary talent he was elected in the Sophomore year to the Editorial Board of the Collegian a nd for the Junior year to an impor tant position on our R AT-TAT Board. The \relfare of our College and of its fun ctions was ever in his heart and he strove not only for th e cred it he himself might gain, but also for the credit of the institution which he hoped would become hi s Alma Mater. Wh atever he undertook he entered into with vim, and success crowned hi efforts. Through all hi s college life there rad iated from him in word s a nd deeds the principles of a Christian character, whi ch exerted a telling influence upon those with whom he came in contact. The member. of 'o4 are justly proud to have had the pleasure and privilege of spending at least two years in association with him . In his death we have lost a close friend, a loyal classmate, .a wi se counselor a nd a shining example. 58 T he first one i Beachley, a blase old boy, Wh ose brow n eye · are ever sparkling with joy, H e i fir to n the rollcaJ I, a nd second in age, H e is first in class stand in g, but not as a sa.ge, He had a girl once, but to tell it ' a shame, She jilted him hard; Matilda 's her name. And next we have Bu rroughs, who is one grand song, Compared to hi . feet, his neat legs are not l01~g; At :M ath . he's a terror, 2.nd as ~'OU surmise, Wi th girls he's a dear ; 'cause he make goo-goo eyes. When ' 1 Mallory" first came here he owned a straw hat, 'Tis said worn .by ::tncestor, for l~n g years at th at. I now speak of H albert, a wild, wayward lad ; Th ere's one thing about him- he never is sad; A fmer athl ete 'twould be hard to locate They say with M iss-he's at last met his fate; Bu t "Mooney" dow ncast, melancholy a nd - well ,--I s it she, or ome other Anna polis belle? But now as I 'm writing, I mu st not omit, O ur old Chummie H odges, always loaded with wi t, In manners he's timid , a sweet ( ?) looking guy, N inety words speaks per second , with .tongue gea red up hi gh H e fid aets and fumLles a nd all day he jumbles, "' His wo rds in a mess 'till your pati ence he crum bles, I shall tell vo u now of a ' 04 old-timer, . P erhaps yo~ u can guess, for h1s name s 1\f asenI1e1mer. '' Hi s weak point is dress and if I 'm quite right, H e really does make a good lookin g sight. H e's cracked in hi s mind , a nd as pri ckl y as cactus Yet I cannot but add, that he takes T . . . . practice. • 59 ' '' I �Next follows in order, M udd , captain baseball , As sleek as he's hand some, yet not very tall (?) A red -headed Irishm an you would sup pose; If you don 't believe it, just tread on his toes. In speaking, " Ben H ooga n " has wond erful vent And when we were Freshmen, was our class president. Since now we have P adgett, I 'll give him no rest, For he's a poor excuse for a preacher at best. H e thinks he knows L atin , he thinks he knows G reek, He thinks he knows English, you should ju t hear him speak; It resembles a Dago and too, we all claim , H ow he kills the King 's E ngli sh is truly a shame. And next Somerville, with his unearthl y tales, Oft tells of a ma n 's lifting eight cotton bales; H e says once he d rank fifty cups of rank poison, In truth as you read, he's a veritable M un chausen, But Somer 's all right; don' t believe th at he'd wish Me to tell you the way he ha lost his "ambish." Of Stick I shall tell you a very slight bit; H e's sleepy and careles., has no spark of •.,·it, Was fond of a lady, one time, so they say; But 's not been to see her for ma ny a clay. A pitcher of note in his own estimation, Rut only a mote in this late generation. 'Tis Strange's turn now ; he is stately and stout, His face is ne'er twisted up intp a pout. He smokes and he stews and he drinks a nd he chews, His very best friend he is sure to abuse. I might write three books more, but I fear I 'd infringe O n him , or might give to my conscience a twinge. 60 Concernin g H . Tarbert, as" Country" be ·t known,I tell you this thing, he' too sleepy to " bone," Fa. t running's his fort e and at this he's first rate For one with such awkward or hobbling gait. I have heard it said , that he once had a girl Yet I believe he's th e last one to fondle a curl. Behold J. Wirt \Vilmer, a man among men! That 's what he would say could he write with this pen. O n th e Football Team always, he plays Q uarterback, In baseball he always strikes out when at bat, The class for him did the name" Puss" well invent, Anrl then, like damn fools, made him class preside nt . Just hear about Wilson, with Bert. for first' nam:, Don 't ask him of " her," or his feehngs you II pam, V hen called to account in classroom or hall , l H e mildly remarks" Now, sir, I know it all ," He smokes cigarettes, and ne 'er skips a cla~s( ?) " ,, Dime novels he reads, and devours t hem en masse. There is "Old L ady" Wilson, a good model boy, Who would not do wrong for love or for joy, It has ne'er been known that he 'd say a bad word; T o think he would do so, is simply absurd, He flunked in the classroom, is chief of R AT-TAT, And writes senseless tales, for he's light under hat. Of " Lord" Riggin , indeed, there's much can be said For we all who have dealt with him wish he were dead, He is crooked and crazy and sly as a cat, And throughout his whole course he's been blind as a bat; Yet he 's fond of th e ladies and oft falls in love, And the debutantes say th at he coos like a dove. 61 ��Class of 190 3 Motto rvwlh uavrov Colors R oyal Purple and Lemon.

And the only consolation we have is in th e fact that these J ays in whi ch ease and training, plea ure and business, love and sorrow have come to mould our heart and minds, have been spent in Old St. J ohn 's by the Severn.

That St. J ohn 's has turned out men of high calibre and of national fa me, might jusl as well be passed over in silence. Their fame has lived through many generations and th eir names have been inscribed on the pages of history. And, too, there is something strikingly characteristic about the St. J ohn 's alumnu . . H e seems to be imbued with a spirit of loyalty, manliness and faith ; a loyalty which he acquired during his course at college, a manliness that grew up in him by strong associations, and a faith that is predom inant in all St. John 's men . The St. J ohn 's man today has nothing for which to blush in that he used to recite within the classic walls of old McDowell Hall. On the other hand he feels proud that his name can be linked with those of that great band of high-minded men whose public spirit and State pride has spread over the universe in behalf of and for the cause of hu manity. Such is th e nature of the St. J ohn 's man. Bold , active, energetic, true to ma nkin d, there can be but little chance of his being shut out fr om the affairs of his respective community. In Th eology, Med icine, Law or in a ny of the honorable callings in what is commonly called business-life, the same spiril prevails. Noble lives, theirs, "which " to borrow from Ru skin , " have left the fibre of them forever interwoven in the work of the world." Below you will find short biographical sketches of a few alumni. They are chosen as representative men- men of whom we feel proud . The institution is to be honored and be thought of as a blessing to its .country, which turns out such men as these. 81 ��\ �\ Hon.

In 1881 M r. Ri tchi e went West a nd entered the office of Judd & Whitehouse as law clerk and later succeeded Mr. Whitehouse a;; a member of the firm . F ro m 1891 till 189 7 he was general counsel for the St. Louis and Cairo R . R. Co. and for the Evangelical As ·ociation. For th e latter he has condu cted negotiations in volving millions of dollars' worth of property located in nearl y every State of the U nion and involving li tigations in th e highest courts of Maryland, P ennsylvania, O hio, M ichigan, Illinois and a dozen others, the contests even extending to the Supreme Court of Oregon. M r. Ritchie was counsel at Chicago for th e late Samuel J . Tild en a nd Wm . B. Ogden, and has just conclud ed in the Supreme Court of Illinois a iourteen years' battle again st the Pennsylvania R ailroad Co. in behalf of President Roosevelt a nd his relati,·es over valuable property interests in Chicago. M r. Ritchi e went to Oak P ark, Ill. , in 1894 and has taken a great interest in all matters pertaining to the rights of the people in publi c franchises.

We th erefore make use of the space thus left open by announ cin g a li ttle more full y th e aims of the two clubs. O f course, being omething new in coll ecre life, they are looked upon with distr.u t by th e large con ervati ve element; but we are glad to notice th e spirit growi ng a mong those who are not members" to let them have their flin g." " We shall see what we shall see." But if the ·e clubs a re composed of thoroughly congenial members, as they are believed to be, and if th ey work energetically for the objects th ey have in view , It 1 ~ not to be doubted that th ey will prosper and , in tim e, become fixed organi zations of th e college as the literary societies now are. Both duos are quite exclusive. Each has its particu lar class of member · and neither has a ny desire to infrin cre on th e right of th e oth er. Th ere is no ru h for members, because it is only when a man has shown him elf to be of th e right kind that he may join ; a nd , as th e two differ in regard to what is th e " ri crht kind ," th ere is little danger that any bitter rivalry wi ll ever ari se between them . Thi s is not th e p lace to mention th e obj ections to th ese clubs. It is enough to ay that the faculty, after having carefully considered the plan of th eir organization, saw fit to ac knowledge them a nd to give them rooms in McDowell Hall. The idea of developing fraternal feeling a mong groups of stud ents is certainly a good one, a nd clubs such as uhese are uppo eel to be can provide for th e comfort a nd general welfare of th eir member in such a way that the life at college may be made more enjoyable and more profitable. So long as they do not infringe on the rights of others in furth ering th eir own ends, it i not likely that th ey will meet with serious oppositi on. In a college of this size, however, it is easy to root out what has become an evil ; so if we predict a t all , it will be that the clubs will stay well within th eir bound s and that th ey wi ll be a pleasure and benefit to th eir members as well as a credit to th e college. If they are organized into chapters of fraterniti es, let us hope that they wi ll choose wi.ely a nd co nnect th emselves with no organizations if not with th e best ones. 100 Sigma Epsilon Phi P AU LL.

T he Young ~'l en 's Christian As ociation was first definitely organized at St. J ohn 's d uring th e fall of 1886, though before thi s time there had been a species of religious meetin rrs held a mong the stud ents.

Th e meetings are usually mark ed by great earnestness on the part of th e participa nts.

They were a sight to behold. The Coach stood by a nd, with a criti cising eye, sir.ed up each man a he sneaked from behind the Gym. Some looked young and ome looked old ; some looked timid arid so me looked bold ; some looked tender a nd some looked tough ; but th e Coach thought to himself, I don ' t see enouO'h .

" You \vi ll do, please s ig n here." 127 �For a '''eek or two followin g, the team was put through the preliminary practice a nd th e tim e soon ca me for th e first game with the Columbian University. St. J ohn 's did herself justice, showing th at the sa me old football spirit still surYived. Beatty and Garey circl ed th e ends tim e and time again for large gains and soo n had the ball behind th e posts for a touchdown. The game ended with th e ball in St. J ohn 's possession, and the scor e r o-o in her favor. Next came the game with Georgetown. 'M id the downpour of a dre nching rain th e team sallied forth with the odds against her. The game has been spoken of as an aquatic carni val, which ra n something like this :-On th e kick-off, the ball floated down th e field forty yard s where it was r escued by St. J ohn ' s full-back. In th e next line-up, Garey swam around Georgetown 's end for two yards, where he was pulled below the surface by Rus ell. In the second half Wilmer hacl gone down for the third tim e, when a life saving crew put out from the bleechers a nd finally rescued him . But notwithsta nd ing the rain , the gil.me was excitin g from start to fini h and every man on th e team deserves credit for the fierce tackling and line bucking which were exhibited during the game. Towards the end of the game the superior weight and tea m-work of Georgetown began to tell, a nd when time wa called the core was r8-o. After the Georgetown game, the one with th e Navy came on. Here again St. J ohn 's did herself cr edit. The game from start to fini sh was an exciting one, and at no time did our team lack vigor a nd determination. The first half ended with the score o-o, but in the second half the ~ T avy succeeded in scoring ten points. The features of the game were the ground-gaining by Beatty and the tackling by Garey who in variably broke through the avy 's interference and threw the man with the ball, for a loss. At one time Cooper broke through a nd blocked Belknap 's kick, thus causing the ball to roll up the field for fifty yards without any one near it. Cooper a nd Halbert started up th e field after it, but th e former, thinking th e latter to be a Navy man, fell on the ball instead of trying to pick it up. Thus was lost our only cha nce for a touchdown. Our fourth game was with Swarthmore. Of this game we have little to say. Probably the cause of our defeat was, that we were crippled in the I avy game, or probably it was th e early mornin g ride that made us sluggish, but neverth eless, we were outplayed at every point of the game. The score was 23-o. The week followi ng the Swarthmore game we met a nother Waterloo at the University of Virginia. This score was also 23-o, but it was made after a hard fi ght. St. J ohn 's fought for every inch of ground , but the peculiar formation s of Virginia puzzled us at first and th e same old drawback which has so long prevailed at St. J ohn 's- lack of weight, helped Virginia on to her victory. Next came our game with Delaware. The tide was turned and the day went down to St. J ohn 's credit. From start to fini. h, St. J ohn 's played the game for all that was in it. Both teams were pretty evenly matched but St. J ohn 's won out through her superi or team-work. It was in this game that our wonderful sub-end Cronin made his sensati onal run of sixty yards. Thu s he scored five of the points which made the score ro-o in St. J ohn 's favor. In this game Beatty a! o eli tinguished himself by his marvelous line-hurdlin g. 128 O ur seventh game was played with Gettysburg. And again the day was lost by St. J ohn 's. In the first half Gettysburg scored six points but it was not until after a hard fight. During the time between halves, the coach hauled th e team over the coals; and in the second half, after two long runs by Halbert, Beatty was pu hed over the line for a touchdown. After thi · the ball wavered from one side of the field to the other and it looked a if the game would be a tie, but during the Ia t minute of play, Gettysburg's right half-back broke loose from the crowd and made a beautifui run of seventy yards for a touchdown. Thus the game end ed , Gettysburg 12 , St. J ohn 's 6. The week following was one of excitement a nd was trying on the nerves, for Saturday brought on the game with our old ri val, We tern Maryland . The clay dawned clear a nd cool and at twelve o'clock, a mi d the cheers of the rooters a nd the waving of flag , the two teams trotted upon the field. After the usual preliminaries the teams lined up and Beatty kicked off to Western Maryland. The contest had begun and for St. J ohn 's it was do or die. In the fir t half St. J ohn 's scored twelve points to ·w estern Maryland 's five. At the beginning of the second half Western Maryland soon cored six more points, but DuVall, our star full -back, soon raised them six by his magn ifi cent run of ninety yards. H e received Robert 's punt on our twenty-yard line and with the ball tucked neatly under hi arm, he wrigglecl , dodged , blocked off tack les and soon pla nted the ball behind the goal posts. Never has there been exhibited in the football hi tory of St. J ohn '. , brighter examples of noble daring, grit, courage, and deterncination than was hown by our team on that day. Every man individually deserves cred it. Captain Garey played the game of hi. life a nd carried the ball like a veteran, while Beatty a nd Cooper never fail ed to make the necessary yards. Wilmer tackled like a fiend a nd never failed to bring down his man. The two ends, Smith and H opkins were always in the right place at the right time. The quartette, M udd, Green, Clark and Halbert were in vincible. M udd, however, was compelled to retire on account of injuri es a nd was replaced by H arriso n. who held up the position like a major. The game ended with the ball in St. J ohn 's possession on Western Maryla nd 's one-yard line. The fi na l scor e wa · I 8-r I. Last but not least, was the game with Pennsylvania Military College. H ere again we were defeated , the core being 23 to 6. Although we wer!! defeated it was clone fairly a nd squarely a nd at the ha nds of a pure collegiate team. I take this opportunity to say that at P. M . C., we have always received a cordial welcome. May the friendly feeling whi ch exi ts between the two institution s continue. Thu s ended the football sea on for 1902 . At the election for Captain for 1903, J. Wirt Wilmer was elected. We extend to him our congratulations and hopes for a successful season. 129 �Summary Points Year t.

Its game were with R ock Hill College a nd the Naval Academy Plebe tea m . Being u ed to bucking up against the college regulars, these game seemed easy to the crub , alth ough the cores would indicate hard sh·uggle . The crub , like th e regula r , were very light a nd had to make up in peed and team-work what they lacked in weight. In the game with R ock Hill College, our boys we re victori ous by the score of 6 to S· It was a well conte ted game fr om tart to fini sh, a nd St. J ohn' scored her ix points by hard line-buckin g a nd tackle play . Another victor y went clown for her when she met the Navy Plebes on their own grounds. The Plebes did not realize wha t th ey were up against until they had felt the harclneffi of H odge ' head a nd saw " Old Lady " Wil on coming around the end for twent y yards at a time, followed by Hall for another large gain . During the first half the scrubs never lost possession of th e ball but carried it stra ight up the field for a touchdown.

St. John's Baseball At the time of thi writin g only two games have been played, so it may seem out of place to write anything concernin g the season 1903. But it may be interesting to read what we had expected to do even after we know, perhap only too well , wha t we have r don~ The two game that have b en played to date have not been as satisfactory as could be wished, owing to the unfavo rable weather condition . Both were played on the grass field because the regu lar grounds were too wet f r use. Under these conditions, we could not expect unusuall y good play ing, bu t the boy hand led themselves well and played the game for all there was in it. Vt/e lost to Gettysburg, what, under better circum tances, would have been a good game, but the game with M . A. C. was all that cou ld be expected. Our men clearly outplayed the representatives of our sister instituti on a nd wo n on their merits. As to the games that a re yet to be played , we believe our pro pect are bright. Manager Cummins ha arranged a good schedu le, a nd has, in every way, done all that a manager could do to provide for the welfare of the team. Every regular has played on 135 �the team at least one yea r before this and nearly all are shm1·ing up better than in former years. Under the e conditions we can predict nothing but a successful season. The games to be played during the easo n are as follows: Monday, March 3oth.-Gettysburg Coll ege at Annapolis. Saturday, April 4th.-Maryla nd Agricultural College at Annapoli . Tuesday, April 7th.-St. Alba ns College at R adford , Va.

Why this was so is bard to say. It cannot be sajd our boys were lazy. L ook at our Baseball a nd F ootball T eams: there were always plenty of men trying for them ; but formerl y it wa not o with Track and Field sports. True, last year we had no chance to run . Th e field was plowed up a nd leveled , a nd th e track coul d not be put into condition in time to train for a college meet. But this year we are glad to say it is different. Th e new track was put into condition earl y a nd men have been workin g faithfully ever sin ce th e Semi-Annual examinations, prepari ng for severa l meets the manager is a rrangin[ •n have. In past years it was very difficult to get men out to work ; often ther e wer e day when only four or fi ve would be out. Thi s year every day sin ce th e captain 's call for candid ates, from twe nty to thirty ha ve appeared on the track, runnin g back and forth limbering up a nd practicing their trides. The team this year is also very mu ch h"-ndi capped in th at it had no track events last year , and consequently no new material wa developed . Most of the old men were graduated last year, so th ere are only two old men trying for th e team. The rest of the men , with the exception of two, have never run a r ace. O n account of this condition of a.ffairs it is very un certa in what to predict for the team ; but this can be said - that we have more runners out a nd they are in better condition physically, at this time of the season , than at any similar time sin ce th e writer has been at St. J ohn ' , a nd thi · is hi s fifth year. 138 At St. J ohn 's, as is well known , th e greatest interest is taken in footb all. Th ere a re few football men in Ameri ca who do not know of th e plucky St. J ohn '· tea m ; but, unfortunately, th e oth er branches of sport do not pro\·e so a ttracti\·e to our men. With interest in oth er a thleti cs lacking, it is not to be wond ered that only ord inary team are put out. Besid es football, base ball , and track sports, we ha \·e tenni a nd basketball as recognized bran cbe of college athleti cs. The contests for th e tenni champi onshi p of the coll ege are held in June a nd th e winners are awarded th e r egular college in signia. Ba ketball was introduced during the past winter, but it bas not yet been firml y established. A team was organized with Beatty as captain and vVoodcock as ma nager, but ma ny d ifficulties prevented th e arranging of games with other college . We hope th at in th e future, basketball teams may be developed a nd th a t we may sometim e look for\\·ard to contests in this sport with the same eagerness as we now do to football games. O f course it will ta ke tim e to de\·elop the proper spirit among the students, but we noti ce with much gratification th at th e most enthusiastic of th e pl ayers are from the Fre hm a n Clas . A joke on the Golf T eam would be appropriate here, but the writer has been too busy to associate with the coll ege joker and , therefore, is unable to rise to th e occa ion. It may be said , however, that Seeligmann still has hi s clubs (or wha tever -you-ca ll - 'ems) , while Dougherty ha been ad verti sing hi s for sale. Of course there are boxing, wr estling, and all oth er kinds of gymnastic work d uring the winter month s, but as there are no r egularl y organized contests in th ese, th ey do not coun t here. Our athleti cs a re at present inclined in fa \·or of football , but the present condi tions indicate th at other branches of sport will be more popular in the future. L et the good work of broadening our college athletics go on until we have a crew splittin rr th e tar-burd ened waters of College Cree k. 139 �That Rough-House Club OFFICERS President, Vice-President, Secretary, Treasurer, Sergeant-at-A nns, BENNY BEN H ooGAr MuDD.

Minutes of the Third Annual Meeting of the few tried a nd faithful members of that noble organizati on so much indulged by the Faculty: R oom 26, Pinkney H all, January 22, 1903. In obedience to the call of the Board of Confusion, the R ough-House Club met on the fourth Boor of Pinkney Bug-House, President Mudd in the chair (soap box). R oll-call showed the followin g active members to be present :-Monk Cronin, Si Hopkins, Countries Tarbert (I a nd II), Puss Wilmer , Uncle Phil Merryman, Burtis Cooper, "Old L ady" Wilson, Creeper Rula nd , P op Willing, J ay-Bird , J .

Would-be Smith , R eynard Fox, Wilkie Collins, Demerit R asin , and Dang Wilson. All those not present were somewhere else. After the read ing of the minutes of the last meeting, the Pre ident laughed him elf into convul sions, but he was restored by means of a bucket of ice-water. Mr. Ed. Pigget moved that he not move a nything at all. Motion not carried. Mr. Demerit R asin would have made th e motion for the con ideration of new members, if Creeper Rul and had kept hi s big mouth out of play. However, A. Would-be Smith did the honors in this line, and without interruption mad e the motion. The blasted motion was carried . Monk Cronin proposed to admit all the good liars, a nti-P okeyites, and real devils in school above the Freshma n Class. Motion carried. The President immed iately sent th e Sergeant-at-Arms downstair-s ·after the whole Senior Class, which body came in as honorary members. Messrs. Garey, Hall , Clark and R eed were having a ittin ' ; con equently didn't "show up" until a late hou r. It was later learned th at "Numm y" R eed had cornered the market with a " full house." Everybody understood. Th e Club then voted for written resoluti ons of thanks to be presented to th e gentlemen for their "good work." "Cholly" Hollingsworth, Major Jim R ohrer, a nd " Grandma" Galbreath were asked to " rush the growler" for the crowd . Three hours later, they were found on the Second 141 10 �Our College Girls Oh l Pinkney Hall with all her tricks, With all her work a nd play; McDowell Hall with all her talk ' Twi xt Prof and boy_ each day; And Woodward Hall and Humphrey Hall And all that happens there; \lt,le do adore a nd show re pect, For them our love declare.

Choose a seat built for two in which to compound the mixture. By use of 2 teaspoonfuls of conversation a nd a few pinches of persua ion , cause the maiden to settle. Gracefully take your tati on at the side of the maiden. Throw in I cup of heep eye a nd 2 cups of " goo-goo" eyes. Hold her hand in your to hasten the acti on. Keep " pooning" the mixture all the while. Add 3 cups of lau ghter. Apply the arm to her waist to test the liking. ·w hen ingredient are well stirred, flavor with osculatory movement to suit the taste. The above a mounts are for two per ons only, a nd are most agreeable when erved in twilight or with lamp turned low. kiNG TO SAM-E. Allow no light in the room , Seat the damsel on your lap. Add a n armful of vigorous squeezes. Flavor with tulip salve. What bli ss it is to trip th e dan ce, T o walk about the street, Our college girl upon our arm ; A girl that can ' t be beat!

H e thinks himself th e sport of the College a nd his senseless mouthings may be heard at all tim es a nd places. As our old Auntie used to say" Good L ordie, Youngun, wh at 'll you do when you have to depend on your own resources ?" THE BOARD OF VISIT O R S AN D GOVER NOR S THE F R ESHM AN Vle intended to say something nice about the Visitors a nd Governor ·, but we can 't. T hey very unkindly suspended some of our members a nd we don 't like such treatment. \\'e're not going to tell you anything more abo ut them. THE F ACULTY If we say pleasant thin a- about the Faculty, we 'll be accused of working for favor ; if we ay unplea ant things about them, we 'll Hunk. Th ey all mean well. If they can 't tell how many an gels~ can da nce on th e point of a needle, it ' not their fault. If they assign us twenty pages in ad v a n ~e a nd expect us to do the r est, we mu stn ' t blame them. They 'll explain when they get time, a nd all that, you know; And, as I was about to r emark, they are very agreeable old gentlemen and they always listen to our side of the matter when we get in trouble. Th ey have no sid e to look at· usually, but that doesn 't matter. O n the whole we ar e fairly well pleased with th em. THE SENIOR Vve used to think , when we were Preps. and Freshmen, that the Senior was some extr aordinary being-some awful and magnificent personage and we wondered why he condescended to honor meek and lowly St. J ohn 's with his presence. Now when we see him wielding his mighty sword a nd in awful tones giving commands to ome poor, half-stan ·ed Freshman, we laugh quietly and think what an unutterable ass he is making of himself. Sometimes, however, he lowers himself to give us valuable information a nd to tell us how th e " R AT-T AT" ought to be run . We could write volumes on the traits of this peculiar animal, but this book costs us a dollar a nd a half a page, and the price of further mention is too high. THE J UNIOR " This curious creature is worth y of the careful a ttention of th e students of N atural History because it posses es the unique idiosyncrasy of bein g more different kinds of a fool than any other known animal, "-Dorothy Dix. In his pitiable ignorance and conceit he has though- himself capable of publishing t a book-th e " R AT-T AT. " Judge for your elves whether or not the quotation is appropriate. 164 The chief characteristi c of this insignificant little "varmint " is its voice, which is bu sily engaged in changing a nd is the source of much entertainment for u pper classmen. Any rational being would be ashamed of this voice a nd would try to hide it but the Fre hie glories in it a nd inflicts it upon u at all hours of the day a nd night. H azing and other r ecognized forms of puni shment do not a ffect the conceit of this creature; a nd if conceit grows with age, we beg leave to pity the Clas of 1909. THE PRE P The less a iel about this rodent, the better. W e know of no use to which it can be p ut , and th e reason for its creation is pr obably the same a that of the mu squito- to pester hum an ity. The Automobile Club V. S. BEACHLEY. C. A.

Th e ource of all this mirthful glee Our books will not explain ; Th e Profs they cannot tell it you, And wisely should refrain . As ociation, they may say, With other fell ows here; Or coll ege spirit and all that, Or college girls, so dear. Athletics, they may venture next, But still they wander so; They will not, cannot make it clear, They simply do not know. But a we go about our work _-\nd strive each day to grow, That omething still is felt within And there it's all aglow.

A · it expresses the feeling we have for St. J ohn 's a nd r qo4, we have taken the li berty to publish it in our a nnual. A the book goes to press, we learn tha t the writer of the letter has con idered it be t to make u p his work here and be grad ua ted with hi s class at "O ld St. J ohn 's." D EAR FELLOWS :- P erhaps all of you have experien ced th at feeling of sadness a nd r egret when parting fr om a . weetheart or some ve ry dear fri end. When I ftrst began thinking of not retmning to St . J ohn 's in 1902, I could hardly believe tha t I could be atisfi.ed an)'\vhe.re else . Even after I had full y made u p my mind to continue my work a t a noth er place, it was difficult for me to reali ze t hat I had left St. J ohn 's never to return as a student. Wh en I first entered the clear old college in 1900, I began to culti vate some fri endshi ps, a nd now I ca n trul y say tha t I regard each member of 1904 as a very dear fri end. H ow well do I remember my firs t year with you ! O f cour ewe d id n ot have mu ch trouble wi th the Sophs, but in case th ey had attempted to d istur b our peace, I a m sure we would have !'tood by each other, even as we did in ever y tria l we encountered. H ow often we were discouraged in the Math . Class, or in French a nd E nglish , a nd h ow tiresom e became the long periods in the m achine shop a nd drawing room ! Yet we worked diligentl y a nd overcame the obstacles. O f course we had plenty of fun with our work . Did we not m ake a grand success of our Fre hman yea.r ? W ell. ask the F aculty or the oth er classes in college. Then came our F r eshma n B anquet. O f everything th at hap pened durin ()' my two years am ong you, I d o not think a nything made sucJ;l a n impression on m e as d id our Fre hm a n B a nquet. It m arked at once the ending of our first year 's work a nd our promotion to the Sophomore Class. I know that none of you can have forgotten th at night, wh en , after the ba nq uet , which was partly in commemora tion of our a thletic victories, we r eturn ed to Pinkney a nd excha nged songs and yell s with th e Sophs, who welcomed us as the new Sophomore Class. H ow our h earts well ed within us when we thought of having passed fr om timid, wortl!less Freshmen to di gni fied Sophomores. It was with a n inexpressable feeling of a cln E'ss a nd regret th a t I parted from you , my clear cla smates, on tha t Jun e day, a nd startE'd for my home. I a m sure all of you enj oyed your ·elves d uring vacation, bu t I doubt if a ny of you were more a nxious to get back than I was. When I got back a nd h ad a gond ha nd-shake a nd tal k with each one of you , I tell you I felt better. ' Vho will say tb at our year as Sophomores was not a successful as the year as F reshm en h ad been ? In a thletics, e pecially, we excell ed. I often think of our victories o,·er th e other d as es in baseball. Even that alone is enough to cause you to be pr oud of your class. 176 Yet a nother picture comes before my mind. In it I see a room on the fourth floor of O ld Pinkney, a nd in the room there is a table around whi ch four fellows are seated , I hear something like the shuffling of cards, but you don 't really think they are playing cards, do you ? Well, I suppose you play marbles (whist) now as you did when I was with you. I do n ' t have a nything like that u p here. In fact I fin d college life-or rather institute life-here vastly different fr om the life at St. J ohn 's. E ve rything here is on a di ffer ent pla n. O ne of the greatest d iffe rences, otherwise tha n from a n educational sta ndpoint, is tha t this is not even a boardin g school, a nd you kn ow that ma kes a great diffe rence. I have a room in a hou e near the Insti tute, a nd get my meals two a nd a half blocks mvay. Very inconve nient as compared with the a rrangement of things at St.John 's, isn 't it ? Thus you see the students have not the chance, as you ha ve, to become acqu a inted with each other. Th e college spirit a nd class spirit here sink into insigni fica nce wh en com pa red with the same a t St. J ohn 's. We have no hazing here as yo u have, although you have pra~tically none. We have rushes-the cane rush, th e tlag rush, a nd th e sleigh rush . Sometimes these ru shes result in serious injuri e to some of the pa rticipa nts. O ne of our fellows this year ha d his collar- bone broken in a rush. We have several fra terniti es represented here a nd th at makes life a little easier for the fellows who belong to them. ' Ve ha\"e a Freshma n fr a ternity, two . n fac t , one being i k nown a the Betft Chapter of the Kappa Gamma. O nly F r eshmen are eligible for mem bershi p in the e fra ternitie . I was the first F reshma n to be elected into th e Kappa Gamma. As yet I do not kn ow well a ll the member s of my own class. \Ve organi zed with u s members, but severa l new men have come in sin ce then so that we n ow have between 120 a nd r2 5. All of us are study ing to be Civil E ngineers. Yet, notwithsta nd ing all these difference , I sup pose th at aft er I become accustomed to the cha nge a nd before I get t hrough , I shall h a ve for this pl ace the same ferve nt levotion t hat I have for old St. J ohn 's. I a m ind eed ve ry ·orry to hear that so ma ny of our class have decided not to co ntinue t heir courses at St.John 's with the Cia s of 1904, but let us hope tha t they will be succe ful in some other fiel d of labor. Yet , with your number so greatly diminished, I a m sure you can a nd will do all the work th a t will be requi red in upholding the prestige of 1904 . I t hurt me very much when I heard of the death of "Sister " Small a nd I ympathize with the entire class a nd with his bereaved mother. I feel th at the cia , although still represen ted by some of it best m en, will greatly mi ss him in the work on th e " R AT-T AT." As fo r tha t publi cation, I hope that you fe llows on the staff will give the Edi tor-in-Chief a ll t he support possible, that, in connection with the a ble ma nage ment yo u have, will be enough to insure a gra nd success in t he 1903 " R AT-T AT . ., Although I should like to continu e this letter, time call me to my work. I si ncerely trust that t he rema ining few in my old class will ever be a ttended by uccess in a ll their endeamrs. W ith a ll the love that can be expressed in words, I will rema in always, Most truly yours, Ex. 'o4. 177 �Charge of the Slat Brigade She Said Well , I think it 's about time you were coming.

DEAR MOTHER:- I know you will he mad a t me for not writing before, but I have been so bu sy since I got here th at this is th e first chance I have had. I liked my train rid e very much and found out that train s went much faster tha n I thought. v\ ell, when the captain of th e car came to get my ti cket, he cer tainly is a nice man, I told him about rn y two hogs th at died last summer a nd how all th e famil y were getting along and how you expected to miss me o much this winter. I didn ' t forget about what you said about being polite. I ast him how much his uniform cost, and how ma ny child ren he e had, but he did not haY time to tell me all. H e seems to be full of fun . By the way, don 't forget to feed old P at y eY ni ght a nd give her plenty of water. ery After I got here I was given a room by a colored doctor named Garver who wears glasses. My room has paper on all four sides a nd is lighted with a lamp th at look li ke an egg with a string tied to it. You can ' t blow it out, I don 't care how hard yo u try. The only way to put it out i to pull the shade off a nd put yo ur fin ger up into a hole in th e top to keep the oil from coming out and th en turn a crank, a nd put the shade on again. I don 't like to do it, so mo tly get my roommate to do it for me. H e i qui cker than I am at it and don ' t seeem to mind. I am sure I will be a success as I have already been elected Preside nt of the Glee Club. McDowell Hall where all the classrooms are, is the biggest a nd tallest house I ever sa w. It bas a gold ball on top of it that cost alm ost a million dollars. L ast night somebody up et my bed and all the furniture in my room. The nicest fellow in college told me if I would give him my des ert for a month he would ha ve it stopped . I thin k I was right in doing so, for it has happened but twice since. L et me know wh en L ady J ane Grey is well enough to go to th e horse cart a nd tell Da nny to write to me as oon a be has done hu sking corn . \Ve had a water fi ght last ni ght a nd I won, by getting more water thrown on me tha n a ny one else. Th ere is no da nger of my falling out th e window from walkin g in my leep as there are tin boards called ready ater fixed in front of them to pre\·ent any accident of that kind. The stores here don' t keep o Y ma ny things after all. I spent all yesterday morning tryery in g to buy ten cents' worth of elbow grease a nd strop oil for a fellow named J arvi , but I could n ' t get a ny, although I went to alm o t every store i11 town. I expect I will be a fin e football player as I can lay on th e bed and let more fellows jump on me at one tim e tha n any other Freshman. Thi s is the way they always tell about a new ma n. O ne of our profe or got mad because I called him Mr. Turkey instead of Profe sor Turkey. H e hasn ' t a ny sense, he might have known I didn 't mean to do it. The boy: here wear their trousers awfully long, only two in ches from the ground. I guess I will have to let mine down a few in ches. Well I must clo e now, as the dinner horn is blowing.

Thi · may seem impossible and doubtless many will turn from this as an untrustworthy account, but it is really the tr uthat least as nearly the truth as other stories of J arvis' have been. It may be remembered that he once had a little experience with a Fre hie, named Willie Verdant, in wh ich, of course, the youngster came out econd best. It happened, however, that innocent Willie was not of the class called " slow, " and therefore he roomed on the Third F loor only so long as there wa no place for him above. \~The n he was received with open arms in room 77 by a lovin g classmate named Cochran, the Fourth Floor went on a rampage; and, had not Verdant been made of very stern stuff, he would have regretted leaving the peaceful association with the old maid s on the floor below. The first night his room was put on what Phil would call an " un godly bum, " and he and poor Cocluan had to stay up until 3 a. m. trying to get things straightened out so they could sleep without fearing anoyance from falling furniture. Verdant saw that J arvis wa one of the leaders in this movement to rough-hou e him, so he made a mental note of the a moun t of in convenience suffered and determined to p<ty the offender the debt with due intere t as soon as opportunity offered. By thi s time the authority of J arvis was almost indisputable among the Freshmen, a nd many were the rainy nights that Verdant hurried down town for pie a nd sandwiches for hi lord and master. All th.is went down in the Freshie 's notes, and he evolved plans in his mind by which the mighty one should get all that was coming to him. Of w urse a Freshman would have to be pretty careful how he offended the dignity of a man in J arvis' position, for his lot would be hard indeed if the great one should suspect him of having ulterior de ign . But Verdant rose to circumstances. After much study he formed a plan by which at one stroke he could get satisfaction for everything Jarvis had done to Rim , and at the same time get a crowi ng Senior, named Fuller, into trouble. Fuller was known by everyone as a n expert in chirography. There was not a man in college whose autograph be could not imitate perfectly. Verdaflt, unknow n to all, possessed this sa me abili ty, alth ough be ordinari ly wrote in a very slovenly manner. Thus if any writing were imitated, everyone would blame Fuller, while insign ifi cant Willie Verdant would he the last person to be suspected. Starting with this as a ba is, Verdant contri ved a plot whi ch worked out beautifully. One day as he was pas. ing J arvis' door he noticed a letter that had been swept out of the room. Believing everything fair in the war he proposed to wage, be took it to his room and read it. To hi s joy he found the letter a very sweet one from a girl in Baltimore. It proved very interesting in that it showed th at the girl was sure of Jarvis' affections, and it mad e evident that Jarvis would do anything in the world for her. A the day was wild and tor my and everything indicated that the night would be no i better, the lad considered . t wise to start the ball rolling. He studied the girl 's writing very diligently and soon mastered it. He pent th e hour before dinner 1practicing, and at the end of that time had made several copies so nearly like the ori gin al that he could notice no difference between his and the girl 's writing. That day he remained at the dinner table till everyone else had left the dining hall. Then, tipping the waiter to gain his good wi ll , he broached his plan, or part of it, to the smiling clarkey. He learned from the negro th at a very di agreeable and easily excitable old negro woman li ved in a fairly respectable house at 429 Clarksburg Str eet, a nd th e eloquence of a shining silver dollar persuaded the dar key gentleman to become an accompli ce in the downfall of Jarvis . It was arranged that the waiter should work upon the old woman 's imagi nation so that she would give a decidedly negative welcome to anyone whom she might suspect of calling at her house to make a fool of her. Of course no college " stoodent" would come there for any other purpose. Offen es piled up against J arvis until Verdant began to fear he would forget some of them , and till no plan for getting even had sugge. ted itself. As a new Freshman on the Fourth Floor, he was compelled to turn over dozens of bed. belonging to hi s classmates ; apd, sometimes, und er th e gentle persuasion of J arvis and his lat, he tore up the rooms of upperclassmen. On ce he had to throw water on the offi cer of the clay, and several times he threw Sophomores ' furniture down the stairs. Besid es these, he had to do many other little sttmt for all of which he had to take the blame, as he could not tell a nyone that Jarvis was the instigator of his misdeed s. Thus he got a very bad reputation among the tead ier cla s of fellows <tncl was often "taken down a notch for being too fresh' ' by the Sophomores. This detail being atisfactoril y arranged, Verdant returned to his room and wrote in th e na me of th e Baltimore girl a very pleasant letter to J arvis, telling him that she was vi iting her aunt at 429 Clark ·burg Street and asking him to call that evening. He posted the letter in time for it to reach J arvis with the six o'clock delivery. Having nothing more of importance on hand , he loafed around the hall and watched developments. Jarvis sent him down through the rain and slush for a box of Huyler's and then mad e him polish hi s shoes a nd th e buttons on his full dress, but the lad did not mind doing thi now. The tim e of judgment was too near. J arvis was having his fun , but Verdant was arranging matters so the fun would not be entirely one-sided. When Jarvi had dressed in his best and was ready to set forth, he put out th e light, locked th e door, and told Verdant to report him sick in bed when the 0. D . took up the ten- 184 185 �thirty inspection. Clarksburg Street was in the furth est part of town , a nd until he got there he had begun to believe he had paid full price for his evening qf bliss. No . .429 was not the kind of a house he had expected to find. It was not too small , but it seemed poorly put u p and th e surroundings were not such as an aunt of " M rs Jarvis" should have. Considering, however, that the girl could not help having poor relations, a nd that the rel atives could not help being poor, he hesitated very little before he decided to go in and enjoy the company of the " nearer one, yet, th an all other. " An old colored woman answered his rap- for there was no bell-and her appearance was not calculated to reassure J arvi as to the standing of his aunt-to-be. Neverth ele · , he started to go in , when the woman began screaming at the top of her voice and calling to her sons to come and help her. J arvis was puzzled. What on earth did this racket mean? He had little time to think , for the sons put in their appearance and J ar vis was compelled to defend himself. But his heavy overcoat impeded his movements a nd his defense was not very effective. The men a nd the woman gave him a d readful drubbing in th e house, and, not content with that, they kept with him as he made hi s way to the street. In the mud of th e street he fared worse, for the negroes were more excited th an ever and they did not hesitate to beat him in any way they could. J arvis was a pitiable sight when he returned to the hall. Cap gone, overcoat torn and muddy, fu ll dres;; rui ned , a nd-wh ere was the box of Hu y lr~r's?

But Proffy saw the gross delay And for the cause did seek, Till on the fifth floor of our hall He found an awful leak. The fellows saw the ladder there Up which the Prof did scale, And straightway th ought to have some fun Unless their plans would fail. They to the ladder tied a rope, And gave one awful jerk. The crash, it reached the Proffy 's ear, While he was hard at work. The noise he must investigate, And to the trap door goes; He sees the ladder on the floor, But neither friend s nor foes. Unto his work he does repair, And works with scowl and frown, Until he ends his tiresome job And wishes to come down .

Eager Ness, William Antic and m,)'Self, being delegates to the convention, because of our universal knowledge displayed in our arguments there, were appointed as a committee to visit and inspect all the zoos in the world--and elsewhere-and report our findings to another convention to be held at South Pole in 1937. Our work is an immense one, taking us from the parched canes to the frozen poles. Uncle Sam recently recognized the importance of our work by turning over to us gratis two regiments of infantry and a troop of cavalry to protect our train of one hundred and fifty box cars laden with our reports so far gathered. Our orders are to report everything at each zoo, even to the minutest detail. Now, gentle reader, I know it would be of no interest to you to know the length of nose, length of tail, number of teeth , male or female , size, weight, shape, color, texture and composition of each anjmal. All this is exceedingly interesting (to us), but might bore you. I started out to tell you of our visit to the most remarkable zoo which, up to this time, we haYe found. I promise to avoid all technical knowlerlge, so will try to " Stick to it. " If you find any in this article, you may kick me with both feet simultaneously. You will find me at the South Pole, 1937. While in one of the largest cities of the United States, we heard of a zoo's being located at a little but "loud" town by the name of Somerville, twenty-eight miles distant. - The person who gave us the information neglected to tell us how to reach· the town. Consequently we were preparing our HORSES for a grand ASTRIDE procession to that zoo, when to our delight some one behind us spoke of a railroad by which we could- go. We boarded, and after just thirty-six stops, we finally pulled up to a station when" AU out for Somerville" yelled the conductor. So far so good. Once out of that car we began to take in our situation and soon heard beside the station hou se a screeching voice saying, "Thes way to tha Zoo. " That was what we wanted to hear. \Ve found the sound to emanate from a measly little "Pat," who had an " omnibi" in waiting to carry any probable visitors to the Zoo. On our way we were surprised to see what a well streeted town we had entered. Pat 's horse, Bull-neck, as he callerl him , seemed rather faggerl and by dint of much cussin' and cuttin' we finallv arrived in sight of the Zoo, situated on a little knoll to the left. ' At times we could distinguish a Si and then a Rohrer from the animals within. Accustomed to such noises, we entered and were greeted by a Bowen (bone) hurled at us hy one of the apes or baboons. The keeper soon put in his appearance, another representative of Pat 's country. His name, we presume, was given him because of the effect which his constant association with monkeys has had on his countenance. He knocked himself down as" Monkey Face." We thought this name at least appropriate. During our interview with him , our eyes. were busy taking in our surroundings. Our interview over, we started on our rounds. The first cage contained a. member of the Canidae tribe, species Fox. ·This animal was one of the shaggy, red-haired genus and not very large or at all handsome. The record of the Zoo stated that this animal was first seen in the wilds of the country to the northwest. It 's Trail was followed for several week,s, and finally, he was found and forced to seek a hiding place in the Zoo in September, 1901. The hunter , who was a little boy named Tommy, was suitably rewarded for his perse1·erance in the chase-of course he thought there were dollars a t the other end all the· time. In another cage was found a quadruped of somewhat different characteristics and proportions. It was a specimen· of the class Bovidae, but rather smnll for its size-age, I. mean. This Bull was found in the confines of the country surrounding the Zoo, and driven along with the herd to the menagerie. Lavender in color, short legs, with immense feet, and loud, bellowing voice. The horns were 'as yet missing. We pass on. The attendant was a lVIerryman and his Irish wit kept us in a consta nt fit of laughter. Another cage contained a member of the Felidae called by " Monkey Face" a Puss. Now it was none of those small , innocent purring pussies which one sees every day, but a large, well-developed " Thomas. " This animal, we learned , was found roaming \\'ild in the newly explored regions round about La Plata, by means of a net was captured alive, and after having bitten off the fingers of six men and scratched out the eye of everal more, was poured into the Zoo. He is rapidly becoming domesticated. At the farther end of the Hall we find a shaggy-haired sheep , called Buck. Thi s aniimal could not he well seen, as it was lying down and the more we would Punch it with our Cain, the more quiet it would remain. In the bird department is seen a somewhat vain specimen of Allegidae. Becau e of the peculiar habits of the bird, we watched it for quite a while and then asked the keeper the species. He said it was only" a jay." The jaybird, we all know , is strongly inclined to swipe cherries. This Bird contrary to the others of the same species had a beautifully melodious voice, which so entranced us that it was actually an hour before we could Chew our fingers enough to bring ourselves to our sen e ·. The next is the most concateflareous (stuck up in common phraseology) bird we have e1·er witnessed. Therein it differed widely from others of ~he family, which are usually very quiet, modest birds. Because of its vanity and bad influence among the other animals, the keepers are thinking to rid themselves of this biped in a short time. Besides it is somewhat mixed up with the parrots. I shall say no more of this specimen-species Woodcock. In the Rodent department was a Rat, but I shall not take the space to describe it here. lts appearance as to long nose, squint eyes, small legs, and its habits are in keeping with those of others of the family you have seen. 202 203 One of Our Visits �Now, there were some other animals which we ·ball not de cribe here, only mention, such as : monkeys, a ":Mooney :Mac'' and "Cholly"; a Bob White, a very peculiar Turkey; one of the animals that is always underneath the limb (sloth) ,named P okey ; a few elephants and mi crobes, alligators and hyenas, unicorns; etc. Having about fin ished our inspections we were preparing to leave, when another beast caught our eye. Closer inspection revealed it to be a Creeper. " Get out as quickly as possible" was our motto, grippin a the keeper 's hand in adieu as we ra n. \Ve heard him yell to us not to be frighte ned, there was no danger; but no! " ·e were aetting out. Out of reach we glanced back long enough to ee across th e door in bold letters " Tommy 's Zoo." J otting th at down we proceed to the street where we fmd a n Old Lady selling P arsley. She stopped us, but we qu ickly gaYe her three cent to let us pass. Down the street we go, and accidentally fall into the station just in time to "catch on " to th e last car of an outgoin g train .

Even The Vultures went on A Fool's Errand , and Eagle Blood was wasted in The Eternal City.

Th e wealthy of this age a re in ma ny ca e · build in a their own monum ents, not alone in stone, brick, a nd morta r, but in th e elevation of that far nobler fabri c, th e hum a n race. Vlell may we hope th at some may be found who will wi sh to do their work of constru ction a t St. J ohn 's. O ur Endowment Fund is now und er way, a nd ha made a good beo-innin a . As the . . a a pro1 b)1as 1t, " .I t 1· b t~t t h e fi1rst tep tha t c~ unts . ' ' That step we have take n, tremblingly, ·er perh aps, as a ch1ld begms to walk , but, havm g begun , we hope to grow stronger with each effort until we are in a position of ind epend ence. As is well kn own, no college can prosper with out a n endowment, and how mu ch more must thi s po sibility be lesse ned when there is not only no in vested fund , but, ala , a necessity for paying out somethina fr om th e fees of the stude nts for oth er use th a n the work of th e Co!J ege. At the reorganization of th e College in r87r, the buildings were but three in num ber , in add ition to the resid ences. During th e 1 at essio n each of the ·e three has been painted and in oth er ll·ay. t horoughl y repaired . In th e main builcling,-'\1cDowell H all- one has onl y to enter the Chapel to be impressed with the contrast to its state of a few years hack , with the shabby wall ·, a nd still shao bier benches, a nd onl y a small dais, it was made to do duty as chapel, ba.ll room, banquet haJJ , or iLny purpose for whi ch no other place was assigned. T oday, it is far from being all we wou ld wish, but i till n eat a nd tasteful , a nd is never put to any hut dignifi ed u age, wh ile there has been pl ~ced in th e aallery an excellent orga n which is of great assista nce in the dai ly religiou s services. O ur li brary, formerly relegated to a n obscure part of Humphreys Hall ha now its ow n builcling, " Woodwa rd H all " in which ar e al so chemical a nd biological laboratori es, whil e th e basement is fitted up as a n armory, a n ece~ ary ad junct of our Military D ep:utment. This building is in such harmony with th e colonial architecture of our Campus tha t a stranger once asked if it were the old bu ilding. It ta nd s at the north -cast end of the 210 211 �Ca mpus, a nd we think we do not look very fa r into tile future to see a noth er buildincr to be kn own as " Alumni· Hall " facina it at th e south-west end of the Green a nd fillir:':; in the third side of our quadrangle. ' Our College as It Is T he past hi story of St. J ohn 's h as already been dwelt upon, and th e pride which has swell ad our h earts in o doing has been justifi ed by th e li vi na testim oni als to her faithful 11·ork , and by th e record of those departed , who owed to their A lma .M ater th e direction of th eir life 's course. Today we take up a nother th eme, when , inspired by hope, a nd not by memory, 11·e picture to our mind s what the coming year may bring. vYith memory for the past, a nd hope for the future, we may look upon the pre ent as our day of fac t, and contempl ate with th ankfulne sour relea e from th e heavy debt, which for more th a n a q uarter of a century ha.- rested upon us. Thi s debt, as is well known , was created in the early da.ys after th e C ivil ·wa r to renovate th e buildings which had been used as a hospital . And so we struggled on, year by year meetin g the heayy interest payments, with but scant r evenue left for running expenses and improvements. Wh at is our case today? As stated above, our mortgage debt has been paid. O ne, in crenerous and unselfi sh interest for the good of oth ers, f1rst relieved us of a portion of -y the hea1 a nnu al interest, and then , by hi own gift of money, a nd still more generou gift of sen ·ice, set in motion the effort which has r e ulted in th e extin guishment of our debt, and in th e beginning of our Endowment Funcl. . _ o m ~wi_Htt to th e back , ·and between McDowell a nd Pinkney Halls still another bu1ldm g 1 111 course of constru ction which will meet our most pressinO" need of today a ~·eally modern mes · h a~l ~nd kitchen . . T~e entire first floor of thi s Hall ~(not yet na med) wtl l be devoted t? the dmmg room wh1 ch 1 to be fitted up in very ha ndsome style, with a l ar~e, arched wm duw at_ one end , a n? a n imposing chimn ey a nd ma ntel-piece a t the other , ~ nd !1 gl~ted by smaller wmdows on e1ther side. Thi · we feel as ured wi ll pro1·e a mate r~~ I a 1d 111 the encourage ment of good ma nner a nd gentlemanlik e deportment, sin ce ma nkmd as a whole, a nd youth mo t strongly, tends to har monize with its surroundin O".-.

Does it th en reqmre a great effort of imaO"i na tion to look forward for ten yea r to come a nd see the number of buildings again almost doubled? vVe adly need a gymn asium', a nd should ba1·e, too, a boat house, so that we may not be deprived of the opportunities nature spreads out before us in th e beautiful waters whi ch bathe our bores. A o~r num be_rs ~o ntinu e to increase, the_ branches which have heretofore been O"rouped togeth er Ill one buildmg must be spread out 1n to separate a nd more commod ious quarters, a nd we hope to ee one or more science building. which will sen ·e not onlv as the educator of th e :ising generation, but also as memorials eith er of the donors or of some whom they may w1sh to commemorate. The wealthy of this a.O"e a re in ma ny cases bui ldina their own monuments, not a lone in stone, bri ck, a nd morta r, but in th e elevati on of that"' far nobler fabric, the hum a n race. \Veil may we hope that some may be found who will wi sh to do th ei r work of con tructi on at St.} ohn 's. O ur Endowment Fund is now und er way, a nd ha made a (Tood beO"inninO". As the . "' "' prm·er bl1a 1t, " .I. I) U the fir st step that c~ unts .

A i well known, no coll ege can prosper without a n end owmen t, a nd how mu ch more m u ·t this possibility be lessened when there is not onl y no invested fund , but, alas, a necessity for paying out something from th e fees of the students for other u e th a n the work of th e College. At th e reorganization of the Coll ege in I87f, the bui ldings were but three in number, in add iti on to the resid ences. During the past ession each of th ese three ha been painted and in oth er ways thoroughl y repaired.

As istaut Miscellaneous, 1 l Town and Campus Editor, Assistant Tmcm and Campus Editor, Business }.Ifanagers, A ssistant Business Manager, Treasurer, Secretary of Board, 212 We appe':d t~i s no~e to warn angry readers that their ire will harm nobody but themselves. The Editor-m-Chtef, as the greatest offender, has acted upon the suggestion of Professor Cissel and has provided himself with a Winchester shot-gun, while the other members of the Board have obtained permission to carry Smith and Weston 44's during the months of May and June. But to mend matters a little we will say that the uninitiated reader must not believe all the unplea~ant things we say about each o~her. Very often peculiarities are exaggerated and somettmes we represent fellows as bemg the very opposite of what they really are. ~or example, w~ call Somerville a lic:r because he tells so many entertaining stories of high hfe at Lonacomng, and 'iVoodcock JS branded a drinking man because he is a teetotaler. We have acted fairly in giving to every man the grind that, in our humble opinion, he needed. We served ourselves quite the same as the others. We have arranged with Mr. Jeffries to accommodate all whodesiretoaetsatisfaction by th_e old-fashioned method. We were compelled to do this, because w~ have had no practice at our Board meetings and are therefore out of trim. Those who wish to retaliate in kind may feel perfectly free to do so, for, as has been said before, this is our last offense. We reg~et that we ~u st bring this ?ook to a close. We have enjoyed, oh, so much! ~he prep~atwn of the articles and espectally those in the latter part of the book. We were JUSt gettmg warmed up to our work when hme was called in the last half. Another month and the score would have been different. Do you blame us for putting in some useless matter? You would applaud us if you could see what we have kept out. We would urge the readers and the students in particular to patronize those who have advertised with us. It v largely through their aid that we were able to produce this book, vas and m ~ny ?f them consented to help us with the understanding that we should give them sometbmg m return. S?me of them we are unable to help clirectly, but we can always remember that they are fnends of our College and of ourselves and are therefore entitled to our support. In closing we would say that we love this old College more than we can tell, we have ~eater respect ~or each other than our jokes indicate, we enjoy life here more than the outSJder would believe, and-we have less confidence in our ability than the world at large think s. \iVith best wishes, and all that, you know, we areWhate11er · ou wish to consider us. y 213 �P AGE D edi cati on, .

PRESll;>ENT The cha,rter of St. Job n's College was grantecl in 1784, and the institntiou openecl in 1789. But under another form and name it had been doing its work during nearly a hundred previous years, and is, therefore, one of the oldest Colleges in the country. At the City of St. Mary's, then the capital of Maryland, as early as 1671, the Upper House of the General Assrmbly passed an Act "for founuing and erecting a school or college for the education of youth in learning and Tirtne." This was followed by the Act of 1696, establishing KING WILLIAM'S SCHOOL, which was opened 1701. Here were educated some of the most distinguished sons of Maryland-physicians, lawyers, statesmen, clergymen -and pre-eminent among the brilliant number was William Pinkney, whose learninci; and eloquence have a national fame. KING WILLIAM'S SCHOOL wii.s, in 1784; merged 'into St. John's College, which has thus been connected with the S~ate of Maryland from the early times. of colonial history. Francis Scott Key, author of our favorite nationi1l ode, and Re-verdy Johnson, distinguished as a lawyer and a statesman, are among the alumni, and many others, scarcely less eminent, 'could be mentioned. LOCA'.tION AND ACCESS. The College is pleasantly situated at Annapolis, on the banks of the Severn River, a few mile.s from the Chesapeake Bay. :N'othing in the country surpasses the picturesque beauty of its situation. The college g,reen is• spacious, amply shaded, and most attractive to the eye. while the campus, in the rear, is admirably adapted for sports. Bordering the groun!ls, "College Creek," a branch of the St1jern, affords every facility for swimming and boating. Indeoo, the situation combines ev,ery ad vautage desirable for a co11ege. The buildipgs are large, com mo. dious, and well· adapted for p~uposes of both classical and technical edu~ation, and could acc.ommodate two hundred stud· · en ts. Annapolis ·has railroad communication with Baltimore. "and· ... Washington, several times a day, dailysteamhoatconnection with the former city, and telegraphic connection with every part of the country. !lJoard of' Visitors and Sovernor.r.

Information. GENERAL REGULA TIO NS. ---:o:-·--·- A copy of the general rules of the College can be obt'ained upon application at the President's office. All students are required to be present promptly on the opening day of the session, and no student will be permitted to leave the College while the College exercises are progressing. except in cases of urgent necessity, and at the written request of his parent or guardian. , · Each member of the SeniOr;'Junior and Sophomore classes is allowed, i~ each term, as many absences from recitation in any study pursued by him in tll;e class of which he is a member, as there are prescribed· recitations per week in that study; and for. each absence above the number thus allowed, he will be given zero as a recitation mark. Each student of the· Freshman Class is allowed in each term three absences from recitatiOn, ,in each study in which four recitations per week are prescribed; two absences in each ~tudy in which three recitations are prescribed; and one ab~ence in each , study in which two recitations are prescribed. Excepting these cuts he will 'be marked zero for each and eve~y absence whatever from recitations, and shall also r"eceive 10 demerits if the excuse for the absence is not satisfactory. In his case all absences owing to prolonged illness may be considered by the Faculty, upon the recommendation of the President, or upon the certificate of a recognized physician. The Collegiate Department embraces four groups of studies for undergraduates, each occupying four years, viz: 1. The Classical and the Latin.-Scientific, both of which lead to the degree of Bachelor of Arts. 2. The Seientific and Mechani~ cal Engineering course, which lead to the degree of Bachelor of Science.. The scheme of study in the different groups, arranged for the sake of comparison, in parallel ·columns, will be found on pages 31 to 33. In order to obtain one of the above-mentioned degrees, a student must have completed satisfactorily the cours~ as herein laid down. but for such as may not be studying for a, _degree, 11elect courses will be arranged according to th\) option.of , the parents or guardians, subject to tbe approval of the Facn lt}'.' On the successful -completion of such spedal cour~es, cer.tifi~ates, will be given. ., Post-graduate courses are arrang~d for those graduates who wish to become candidates for the Master's Degree. REMARKS ON COURSES It is to be seen that in the classical course~ the ~tudy of Mathe- · matics is discontinued.after the first term of the Junior year,· il.t · which point the study of the sciences begins. The cla~sical student will thus devote some time to scientific study, the particular branches being elective. Also, th.~ student of the Latin' Scientific Course, taking no Greek at all, and discontinuing Mathematics at the end of the Junior year, enjoys a firller'course of English; and begins the study .of Science eatlier · than the classical student. In the Scl.entific and Mechanical Engineering: Course, in which neither Latin nor.Greek is required, four years are given to Zoology, Botany, Physics, Chemistry, and to Mathematics. Also, in the Scientific Cou'rsc, four years are given to the study of English. A full course in both French and German is required for every degree. No student will be permitted to discontinue any st-qdy, except at the close of.the term, and then only at'the written request of his parent or guardian. Students pursuing a select course may enter any class for which they" are fitted, the number of their studies being iiubj~ct to the direction of the Faculty.

Each student is provided with a desk an.d the necessary reagents and apparatus. He is required to perform personally all the experiments containelrin a laboratory manual of inorganic chemist.ry '(Williams), under the direct personal supervision of the Professor. Special attention is givrn to this course and every endeavor will be made to keep it abreast with the requirements of curi·ent Chemical Science. ··Additions in the way· of appa: ratus are being constantly made, and chemical library, 'containing the latest and most necessary books, is at the disposal of the student.

The laboratory expenses for the 8enior year are $7'.5u per term. For the advanced course the expenses are about the same. Special attention is. called to the amount of these expenses.They average less than the usual amount charged, and it is belie;ed that no college in the. country affords its students equal · opportunities at so small a cost. DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY, THE ,ENGLISH LANGUAGE AND LITERATURE, In this Department instruction will be given_:_ In History._:_One hour a week is given-throughout the Fresh~ man year to Medireval History, and throughout the Sophomore year to Modern Hi::!to~y.

JOHN'S COLLEGE. 40 In English Language and Literatitre :Freshm~n Year:-Iu the first term of this year, the prinoiples of tl.ae modem English Grammar a1;e rclriewed critically, with some attention to their historic1itl aspects, but with special reference to their position at the foundation of Rhetoric . Bain's Higher Eng-li~h Grammar is used as a text. The work of the second term is based upon A. S. Hill's Principles of Rhetoric. This course. will lay much stress upon th.e laws of . good use, the requisites of Rhetorical excellence, the characteristics of the sever.al forms of discourse, and upon the training qf the student in the application of principles by exermsing his critical faculty upon specimens of style, and by testmg his skill in romposition. All student themes are carefully corrected and are returned with copious criticisn~s and suggestions. Sophom01·e .Year:-The History of English and American Literature is st~died throughout-the year. The first term will cover th~ su,bject from the earliest times to the age of Queen Anne, the.second)erm Jrom the age of Queen Anne to:the present time. The t11xt used is 0. F. Johnson's Manual., The object aimed at in this study , is, not only to make the student acquainted with the periods of our literary history, with . the authors of each period, and with the chief works of the more prominent authors, but also .to cultivate in him a correct literary taste and a love for good literature. Essays, usually upon topics related to. the subjec~ in hand, are required of all students twice a month, and similar topics ai;e discussed from time to time in lectures to the class. · Junior Year:- The first term of this year is devoted to the History of the English language, with Lounsbury's text as a basis. First, the place of English among the languages allied to it is clearly defined; then follows the history of the operation of those agencies that have modified our vocabulary and inflectional forms. Notes on tho history of English Syntax are given by the professor. The second ter~ is given to an in.troductory course in AngloSaxon. The text used is A.· S. Cook's First Book -in Old English. While the opportunity found m this cours_e for a practical review I! I I'. I ! �.' I 41 Cl'RCULAR OF. S-T. Joir'N's COLLEGE. of the first term's work is not neglected, the Saxon.is studied primarily for the mental tr.i.ining it gives, for its wealth of literature, and for the strong light that it throws upon moderu English. Composition is required th'l'oughout the year, and l~ctures a·re given as occasion may ofler. · Senior Year:-The subject assigned for the first term of this year is The Art of Poetry. Gnmmere's Handbook is used :as a guide. In connection with the systematic stµdy of the several kinds of poetry, the permliarities of poetic style, the varieties of poetic form., attention iS given also to the history of English versifications, and to the comparison of the verse forms of English with those of foreign literatures, ancient and modern. For the second term, the study of the elements ·of Literary • Criticism, as set forth in U. F. Johnson's work on that subject, has been· presented. During the year lectures are delivered on various subjects pertaining to poetry and criticism.. DEPART:tlfENT' OF' L.A.W. \ Constitutional Law.-Text book, .Andrews'' Manual of the tfonstitution. For reference Cooley's Constitutional Law is used. Reference will be made to important ·decisions as rendered when they may afford additional illustrations of the principles of Constitutional Law. 'fhe subject will be taken up in the first tei:m 6f the Senior year. International Law.-Text book, Davis' International Law. For refer.ence, Woolsey's International Law is used. Events of recent occurrence, which afford an illustration of the principles of International Law, will be discussed. The subject is taken up in the second term of the Senior year. DEPARTMENT O.F MECHANICAL ENGINEERING. The course in this Department will cover four years and consist of both theoretical and practical inskµction. A work-shop has been opened, in which each engineering student is required to spend several hours per week. This shop will be enlarged as circumstances. demand. Ol:RCUt.A.R OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE. 42 . Each student also has several hours practice per week in the drawing room, rece1ving instruction in mechanical, linear-per· spective, isometrical and free-hand drawing. In connection with this branch, during the Sophomore and Junior years, each student has one problem per week m Descriptive Geometry. These problems are made as practicable as possible. The Junior and Senior students .have practice in designing, and each one is required to make complete working drawings of at least one machine of his own desig~. 'l'he lectures in Design and Fabrication of Machinery, and in Contrac~s and Estimates, cover the Junior and Semor years, and are cons1dered a very important part of the course. For outline of the course, arranged by years and terms, see . pages 32, 33 and 34. COURSE IN SHOPS, ACCOMPANYING THE COURSE IN MECHANICAL ENGINEERING. Wood-Room.-Bench-Work; Wood-Turning. Iron-Room.-Bench-Work; Lathe-Work; Drilling; SorewOutting; Tool-Making; Management of Steam Machinery. Boiler-Shop.-Riveting; Patching; Bending; Manufacturing of Boilers. · Blacksmith-Shop.-Bending; Welding; Tempering; Forging. The degree of Bachelor of Science, together with a diploma certifying to this effect, will be confe1 red at the Annual Commencement upon all gradui+t.es of this department. FIELD SURVEYING. Instruction in this deparl;!llent is both practical and theoretical. The student is requireQ. fo the recitation room to solve problems, relating to the loca.ti.~Ji of simple and compound railroad curves, and is taught the application of the primoidal formula to the calculation of earthworks. He is also taught the practical use of the transit and level in the field, and studies land surveying, the laying off and dividing up of land, calculating the contents. The text book used is Davis' surveying (V a.nAmringe). ELOCUTION AND ORATORY. This course is required work for the Senior and-Junior Classes one hour each week. �OIROULA.R OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE. The work of the Junior year will consist in a careful study of the principle of elocution, as a guide. The first term will be given chiefly to voice culture and vocal expression, the second. term, chiefly to Gesture, Action and Facial Expr~ssion. Our models for the expression of thought and feelmg, ~e find in cultivated natnre, as opposed to individual babi_t. Our aim is to make graceful, forcible and effective speakers. Hence nothing meaningless or uncouth in deli very, nothing finical and far-fetched, is tolerated. During the Senior year a course in oratory proper will be given. Original orations will be required of each student as the instructor may direct. Each oration will be criticised from an oratorical standpoint, and personal instruction then given as to its proper delivery. The students will be required to speak before their classes, also in the presence of the Faculty and the stu_dent body assembled.· ·Lectures on oratory, with illustrcttions from English and American 01·ators will be delivered from time to time. 44 military.

Military Academy, Wt:1st Point, N. Y. The military exercises therein conducted are confidently recommended to parent3 and guardians as a meam cf giving to the student an erect and soldierly bearing, of teaching him habits of prompt and ready obedience, and of affording a systematic and healthy exercise each day. All stuuents, except those physically disqualified, are required to attend the drills, and for 'those who apply to be excused because of physical disability a physician's certificate will be required. The names of the three of the students most distinguished for their proficiency in this department are reported each yea,r to the , Adjutant-General of the Army at Washington, and to the Adjntant~General of the State. It is probable that, in fnture, appoint-' ments to the Army from civil.life will be made from thos{' who have thus been recommended tG the Adjutant-General of the Army. The following cadets were reported in 1903 to the AdjutantGeneral, U. S. Army, as having the highest standing in the Military Department of St. John's College: Cadet Maior, L. T. Rohrer; Captain, W. W. Galb!'eath and Captain, D. H. Beatty. For purpose of tactical instruction. the students will be organized into a battalion of four or more companies, designated Comp.anies "A," "B," "0," "D," &c., Corps of Cadets of St. John's College. Those cadets who have successfully completed the theoretical course in Military Science and Tactics given to the Junior and Senior Classes, may, upon the discretion of the Commandant of Cadets, be transferred to an honorable and distinguished class, to be known as "The Reserve Class of the Military Department of St. John's College." The Staff will consist of an Adjutant, a Quarter-Master, a Sergeant-Major and a Quarter-Master Sergeant, &c. Each Company will have the following Officers and Non-Commi~sioned Officers: ·One Captaii:i, two Lieutenants1 one First Ser- . geant, four Sergeants, £011r Oorporals. The Officers and Non-Commissioned Officers will be selected by the Commandant of Cadets, with the approval of the President of t.he College, for their soldierly bearing and attention to and knowledge of military duty. As a rule these appointments will be made according to classes. II. PRACTICAL INSTRUCTION. The practical instruction in this school will consist in daily drills of not moN than one hour's duration. The Cadets will be exercised and instructed during the year in the Infantry Drill Regulations of the U. S. Army, comprising the .School of the Soldier, the School of the Company, and School of the Battalion. Breech-loading rifles wi·~h accoutrements, and the necessary ammunition are supplied by the Ordnance Department, U. S. Army. III. THEORETICAL INSTRUCTION. This will comprise recitations in Infantry Drill Regulations and portions of U. S. Army Regulations during th{' second term of the Junior year, to which will be added in the first term of the Senior ylmr a course on other Military subjects, inclucling Organzation of Armies, Preparations for War, Mip.01 Tactics. j CONCERNING UNIFORM AND REGULATIONS,' The uniform is required to be worn at all times, and all OoL lege students are required to provide themselves with it. To insure uniformity in material and pattern, it is advisable that all uniforms be made under a contract which has been entered in to. The uniform of the Corps of Cadets is a modification of that worn at the U. S. Military Academy, West Point, N. Y., and is as follows: For the Battalion proper (consisting of all College students, and those pupils of the Preparatory Department of sufficient size), blouse and trousers of grey cloth. (The cost of the blouse is $10.00; trousers, $5. 75.) For all students, regulation cap of dark blue cloth, with ornaments, consisting of gold embroidered wreath on dark blue ground encircling the letters "S. J. C.," in old English characters. Price $2.00 ~ �49 OIROULA.R OF ST. JORN,S COLLEGE. The purchase of the above is compulso~y, and must be paid for when ordered. In addition thereto, it is strongly advised and urged that all students provide themselves with a dress coat costing $10.00 altd with the military vvercoat, of dark blue cloth, double breasted, ornamented with frogs, costing $16.00. It is suggested to parents that the overcoat may properly be worn with civilian dress and with the uniform, thus obviating the necessity of the purchase of two overcoats. All these parts of the uniform have been found to be very substantial, becoming, serviceable and of moderate price. No student will be permitted to wear parts of the uniform with parts of civilian dress. No uniform will be accepted until it has been inspected and approverl by the Preiiident of the Oollege or by the Oommandant of Oadets. Ohevrons for Officers and Non-Oommissioned Officer will be of .black tubular braid on grey ground. Oompetitive drills and target practice are held at the close of the session. The best dril.led Oompany is designated as the "0olor" Oompany, and the colors are borne by that Oompany in Battalion formations during the ensuing year. The honors of the Battalion were carried off in June, 1903, by Company "A," to which the custody of the cofors was assigned. 50 CIRCULAR OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE. ' I· COLLEGE EXPENSES.

TO HIS EXCELLENCY, EDWIN WARFIELD, GOVERNOR OF MARYLAND, . THIS VOLUME IS RESPECTFULLY DEDICATED BY THE CLASS OF 1905. The Old Poplar. �Introduction "A book's a book, although there's nothing in it," says Byron. Encouraged in a measure by these words, we offer to our friend s and patrons this volume, as the first fruit of our literary genius. Without any attempt at apology, we would say that we are not wholly to blame for this act. Away back in 1896 a class of Juniors became so wise that they decided to embalm their thoughts in ink for the enlightenment of coming generations. As a consequence, each year finds the Junior Class confronted by the Rat-Tat problem. Such was the case when we returned to College last September, and, unwilling to acknowledge defeat without battle, we plunged into the task. You see the result. us, we should never have attempted such work had we not felt it to be our duty. Believe How- ever, since this book had to be published, we have striven to make it as interesting as possible to all our readers, and especially to the sons of Old St. John's. We have tried to bring back to them the remembrance of the happy days they spent here, and to show them' their Alma Mater as she is today. In our Miscellaneous Department we have been guided by the old proverb, "Laugh, and the world laughs with you; weep, and you weep alone;" so if it appears to you rather light and frivolous, bear in mind that the purpose of this book is to entertain,-not to reform. will. The "grinds" and "roasts" have been dealt out with a free hand, but with good They do not, in every case, represent the true character of the individual, we are pleased to say ; so do not make the mistake of interpreting them too literally. 1 / ~ In passing your criticism upon this book we would ask you to remember three things: First, that it is our primary work in the field of literatu re; second, that books can not always please, / /,! however good; and third, that we claim no special merit for this one. With these few words of explanation we present to you this, th e seventh edition of the Rat- Tat, wit h the compliments of THE EDITORIAL BOARD. ~­ ~· · h I 7 • ~~""7:~ .·" ~ ."·' 5 �Editorial Board Editor- in-Chief, W.

St. John's College St. John 's College, at Annapolis, the Alma Mater of so many of Maryland's most noted and honored son s, is charmingly situated on th e b anks of the Severn River, a few miles from the Chesapeake Bay . Nothing in the country surpasses th e picturesque beauty of its situation. Facing Coll ege Avenue are McDowell Hall, the central building , with Pinkney Hall named after William Pinkn ey , a distinguished alumnu s, and the residence of the President on the left. At right angles to these stands Woodward Hall, built in 1899, and named in honor of Mr. James T. Woodward , through whose aid th e building was made possible. To the left of McDowell are Humphreys Hall and th e homes of the different professors. Just b ack of the open square between McDowell and Pinkney Hall s is situated the new dining-hall, built in 1903, with the money appropriated by the Legislature of 1902. The campus,which slopes towards the Avenue, embraces about twenty acres. The front lawn is shaded by large, handsome maples, lindens, poplars, and oth er trees. Nearly in front of Pinkney Hall is a gigantic poplar tree, looking fresh and green, with ivy climbing up around its old bough s, which is supposed to be older than even the ancient city of Annapolis. The first treaty with the Indians is said to have been signed under its shade. Nearly every side of Pinkney Hall is covered with ivy, and the E ame vin e is making its way over the other builidngs, giving them a venerable and dignified appearance. McDowell Hall, th e central building, is four st ories high, and in it are recitation rooms and offices. On the first fl oor is a large Chapel and graduation on hall, with a gallery above, upon which are hung shields with Latin and oth er inscriptions giving th e names of each graduating class since 1871. A curi ous old bel fr y surmounts th e str ucture. Everythin g about the old house carries one back to days long past . E ven after this lapse of time can be seen places in th e old hall fill ed in with bricks wh ere pill ars were to be put out and from which porches wh ere to proj ect. On th e south si de, the pl aces left for th e pillars were never fill ed in. Near the eaves are blo cks of woo d inserted in th e bricks, wh ere cornices were t o be placed. In 1824 this old hall was th e scene of extraordinary festivit ies. Ou r governm ent had sent a national ship to bring over General Lafayette to our country as the guest of t he nation . Lafayette, escorted by t wo companies of cavalry , as he approached Ann apolis was met by a deputation from the city,-Judge J. Townley Chase, Chancell or Bland , and other gentlemen. Judge Chase greeted him with welcome-the friend of our country, th e friend of Washington, the defender of th e rights of man-and invoked for him the choicest blessings of H eaven , here and hereafter. Lafayette said: " The welcome I receive from you , gentl emen, in the name of th e citizens of Annapolis; the pl easure to meet ym~ again, my dear and venerated sir; and th e remembrance of one of my earliest friends and co-patriots in the cause of America, your excell ent brother, are sentiments which I am h appy t o express. I thank you for th e t estimonies of your est eem I and friendship . _ rej.oice with you in the admirabl e resu\ ts of our glorious revolution, and feel an affectiOnate eagerness to re-enter the metropolis where I am so kindly invited and wher.e so many old obligations have been conferred upon me. " 14 15 2 �At his entrance into the ci ty, Lafayette was received by a large array of military and citizens, and by them was escorted to the St ate House. Littl e maide ns with banners wavin g, bearing the inscription , " Lafa yette, the friend of our fathers, will always be dear t o the hearts of their children," strewed flowers in his path. As he entered the Senate Chamber, Mayor Boyle made him an address of welcome, refe rring in tones of deep feeling to his service to our country in the revolutionary struggle, and expressive of the admiration and sympath y of our countrymen for him in the events of his gloriou s career. Lafayette responded with an expression of his joy in the blessed results of the great struggle, and his gratification in the manifestations of the respect and kindness of our people fo r him. While here he was entertained by our citizens a nd public officers, among them Governor Stevens and Judge Jeremiah Townl ey Chase. By invitation of Governor Stevens, he made the Governor's mansion his home during his stay among us. At night the city was illuminated, and General Lafayette was escorted to th e ballroom, t he Hall of St. John' s College, where the grace and beauty and sterling manhood of t he region around were assembled, all eager to show their respect for our illustrious guest. A gay company, dazzling lights, brilliant flowers, music and song and rej oicing hearts made it" lively time "in old St. John's. Next day on th e college green there was a review of the military of th e U nited Sta tes and the Maryland Volunteers, and a contest in rifle-shooting. The prize won was presented by General Lafa yette to a member of the company of Captain Lewis Neth. General Lafayet te was then conducted to the Citizenf'' Banquet in the Hall of St. John's College. On Sunday General Lafayette attended divine service in the Methodist Church . . On Monday he was entertained with a banquet in th e Hall of St. John's College, by the Maryland Legislature, after which he left for the city of Washin gton, escorted by a company of cavalry. Humphreys Hall is used for the accommodation of the Prepara tory boys and Pinkney Hall is occ upied by the three lo wer classes of co ll ege stude nts. The Seniors have roo ms in the new building. Woodward Hall contain s the coll ege library. In th e library t here are about eight thou sand volumes, among them many valuable reference books relating to our earl y Colonial history . Th is building contain s, also, the Chemical, Physical, and Biological labo ratories. The view from t he halls is attractive. T he Severn River is on the left and in the rear of the grounds, t he Naval Academy further along on t he left, and t he t own, with t he old St ate House and Governor's man sio n in front and on th e right . Such is St. John 's College, whose histo ry form s one of t he most in terest ing chapters in t he annals of Maryland. 16 17 �History of St. John ,s College St. John's College, the fourth oldest collegiate institution in the United States, traces its origin back to the year 1696, when an act was passed by the General Assembly, establishing King William's School. The purpose of this school was declared to be the propagation of the Gospel and the education of the yo uth of the Province in good letters and manners. Rev. Andrew Gaddes was sent out by the Bishop of London to take charge of the school ; but as the school building was still incomplete, he was appointed a lay-reader in All Saints' Parish, Calvert County, Maryland. The earliest mention of an officiating master of the school is found in the reco rds of St. Anne's Parish Church. They record, " Died, November 9, 1713, Rev. E dward Butler, rector of St . Anne's, and master of the free school, Annapolis." Few of the names of the rectors of the school have come down to us, but about 1756, and for nine years after that date, Mr. Isaac Daken is mentioned as master of the school. On the 17th of August, 1784, the Rev. Ralph Higginbotham was a ppointed master of King William's School, and when at a la tter date the school became inco rporated with th e co llege, we find him occupying the position of Professor of Langu ages in the newly-orga nized institution. This school is noted in the annals of the State as the nursery of some of her grea test men, among ot hers the distinguished lawyer and statesman, Willia m Pinkney. Informatio n, however, regarding this semina ry is but meager, a lthough the Act of 1750 indicated that the school was not without influential friends and supporters. In the meantime, in 1732, as appears by a pa per now lying in the exe cutive depa rtment at Annapolis, "proposals for founding a college at Annapolis" were read in the Upper House of Assembly and recommended to the co nsideration of the Lower House, but no legislative effect was given to these proposals. The project was again revived in 1763. A committee of t he General Assembly recommended that "the house in the city of Annapolis which was intended for the Governor of the Province, be complet ely finished and used for the college proposed to be established," the money fo r the work to come out of the public treasury. The annual cost of t he facult y, co nsisting of seven masters, wit h the five servants, was provided for. The measure, however, failed to pass the Upper House. Ten years later the intention of establishing a college in Annapolis was again manifested, as we learn from a letter written October 4, 1773, by William Eddis, surveyor of customs, at Annapolis, to a friend in England. In this letter he states t hat "the Legislature has determined to found a college for the education of youth in every liberal and useful branch of science, which will preclu de the necessity of crossing the Atlantic for the co mpletion of a classical and polite educatio n." A building on t he banks of the Severn, 18 19 �originally intended for the Governor's man sion, but described in the letter as "a melancholy and moul dering monument," was des'gnated as the proposed coll egiate edifice. This building is now McDowell Hall, the central one of five buildings constituting St. J ohn's College. The Revolution interferred with t he carrying out of the plan, but in 1784 the charter of St. John's College was granted, two years after a like charter had been given fo r t he establishment of Washington College at Chestertown, on the Eastern shore. It was intended by t he term s of the charter t hat t he two colleges thus found ed should constitute one university under the name of University of Maryland . By an act of 1785, the property and funds and students of King Wil liam's School were conveyed to St. John's College. Among the chattels passed to the college were a number of "quaint and curious volumes" brought over by t he Rev . Dr. Bray from England, and which still remain in the library of St. John's. On November 11, 1789, t he coll ege was formall y opened, and the dedication perfo rm ed with much solemnity, all the public bodies being in attendance, and forming a long procession from the State House to the college hall. Among those who were active in promoting the welfare of the college in its infancy are to be found, John Carroll, the first Roman Catholic Archbishop of America; the Right Rev. Thomas John Claggett, Protestant Episcopal Bishop of Maryland, and other eminent divines of the Roman Catholic, Episcopal and Presbyterian churches. Tradition says that the name King William's School was changed to St. John's College to suit the ideas of the patrons of that period. Among tho stud ents of that early period are to be found t he names of George Washington Park Custis, a stepgranclson, and Fairfax and Lawrence Washington, nephews of George Washington; also, of Francis Scott Key, who entered St. John's, November 11, 1789, and graduated in 1796. On Friday morning March 25, 1791 , President Washington, attended by the Governor of Maryland and a number of citizens, visited St. John's Coll ege, an d expressed much satisfaction at the appearance of t hi s rising institution. Almo st al l the noted families of Maryland, and of other States, have in some way, and at some time, been connected with t he coll ege. In order to establish t he college un der the terms provided for in the charter, private subscriptions amo un t ing to $10,000 were collected, and to provide a permanent fund for the further encouragement and establishment of the col lege, the Legislature enacted that the sum of .£1750 ($8, 750) current money be annually and forever hereafter given and granted as a donation by th e public to t he use of the coll ege . . With this aid the college went forward under Dr. John McDowell , the first president, in its work of educating men, till January, 1806, when the Legislature, by a majority of only six, withdrew the annuity, and the visitors and governors of the college were compelled to anno unce that the college must close. Within the brief period of thirteen years, from 1793, when the first class was graduated, to 1806, t he names of four Governors of Maryland, six United States Senators, five members of the House of Representatives, four judges of the courts, one Attorney-General, 21 20 �one United States District Attorney, one Auditor of the United States Treasury, six State Senators, fifteen members of the House of Delegates, besides foreign consuls, officers of the army and navy, physicians and surgeons, distinguished lawyers (including one Chancellor of South Carolina), college professors, etc., are to be found among the names in the register of the Alumni. In 1807, Rev. Dr. Bethel Judd was chosen principal, and the work, though grievously hampered by the action of the Legislature, was partially continued, and in January, 1812, $1,000 of the annuity was restored. Rev. Dr. Henry Lyon Davis served as principal from 1820 to 1824, and the Rev. Dr. William Rafferty from 1824 to 1831. In 1831, Rev. Dr. Hector Humphreys was appointed principal, and by his persevering efforts and personal influence with the members of the Legislature, a sum of $2,000 was added to the annuity, provided the Board of Visitors and Governors should .agree to accept it "in full satisfaction of all legal or equitable claims they might have or built. Two years afterward Dr. Humphreys was succeeded by Rev. Dr. C. K. Nelson . He guided the college successfully until1861, when the college buildings were utilized as a military hospital by the United States army until the close of the war. In 1866 the college was reopened with Dr. Henry Barnard, of Connecticut, as principal. On his resignation, the following summer, Dr. James C. Welling was chosen principal. He resigned at the close of the session, 1869-70, and Dr. James M. Garnett was appointed in his stead. Under his administration in 1871, the first class since 1860 was graduated, and continuously thereafter classes have been duly graduated each year. After the resignation of Dr. Garnett in 1880, Rev. Dr. J. M. Leavitt was invited to undertake the administrative duties of the college. He served until1884 when he went abroad for his health. Prof. William H. Hopkins was next installed as acting principal. He maintained control during the sessions of 1884-85 and 1885-86. During his administration he worked strenuously to raise the college from the conditions to which she had fallen through lack of financial aid. His efforts, however, were not very successful. It was under his direction and personal efforts that the detail of an officer from the United States army, and also of an engineer from the United States navy, was obtained in accordance with the provisions of certain acts of Congress, with the conditions of which St. John's was able to comply. He resigned in the summer of 1886, to accept the position offered to him by the trustees of the Woman's College, Baltimore, and Dr. Thomas Fell was called to occupy the presidential chair. At the opening of the session, 1886'-87, when he entered upon his duties there were but sixty students in attendance, and the general condition of the grounds had become greatly deteriorated. He at once set to work to renovate the study rooms and to promote the comfort of the students during their residence at college. The old wood stoves were removed, and in their place steam-heating apparatus was introduced. Bathrooms, 'ivith hot and cold water, and other conveniences, were placed in both Humphreys and Pinkney halls. New life and vigor were also infused into the whole course of instruction, and, as a consequence, the number of students during the next year amounted to one hundred and thirty-eight, or more than double the number in attendance at the time of his appointment. On the 26th of June, 1889, the college celebrated the one hundredth anniversary of its existence under the title of St. John's College. Many of the old students returned for the occasion, and friends who had not met for years exchanged the heartiest greeting. Owing to the large assemblage of visitors a tent was erected on the campus, in the shade of the old poplar tree, where the literary features of the programme were carried out. be supposed to have against the State." The Board consented, and the deed of release was executed and entered upon the records of the Court of Appeals. At the same time, the Governor of the State, President of the Senate, Speaker of the House of Delegates, and the Judges of the Court of Appeals were made ex-officio members of the Board, indelibly affixing to the college the character of a State institution. In 1833, the principal was authorized by the Visitors and Governors to collect a fund of $30,000. About $11,000 was raised, and in June, 1835, the corner-stone of Humphreys Hall was laid with impressive ceremonies. Chancellor John Johnson, a distinguished Alumnus, was the orator. From this time on there are lists of graduates for each year except 1843, '45, '48, '51 and '54, until 1855 when the college was reorganized, and in the same year Pinkney Hall was Toward the close of 1891 the Board of Visitors and Governors authorized President Fell to initiate a movement for the formation of an endowment fund. In furtherance of this project open letters were sent to the alumni, inviting them to subscribe the sum of $.10.000; these letters have been responded to by them in a gratifying manner. ContributiOns have also been received from others interested in the welfare of this venerable institution, so that a fair beginning has been made toward placing it upon a sounder financial 22 23 �basis than it has hitherto enjoyed. Two new buildings have been erected,-Woodward Hall, named for Mr. James T. Woodward, through whose aiel the building was made possible, and the new dining-hall which was built in 1903 with the money appropriated by the Legislature of 1902. A more prosperous era seems to have dawned upon St. John's, and she bids fair to assume that high position among colleges of the United States which she so well deserves. 24 25 �The New Dining Hall Situated a little to the rear and between the halls of Pinkney and McDowell is the handsome new Dining-Hall, and Senior dormitory combined. In its completeness and beauty it is the pride of the College . The Legislature of 1902, recognizing the long-felt need of new quarters for the College Club, appropriated $15,000 for the erection of the building shown in the accompanying cut . The plans were drawn by T. Henry Randall of New York City, whose acq uaintance with the ven erable age of St. John's and the Colonial City in which it is situated, well fitted him for the important responsibility of maintaining its Colonial style of architecture. Including the basement, or kitchen floor, the building is four stories in height. It is built of specially made brick, and roofed with slate. F rom all sides its exterior presents a pleasing appearance . Its gracefull y curved windows and tapering roof make it an imposing structure. The main entrance faces due West, and is on a level with the new terrace which was built last summer, directly in the rear of McDoweiJ Hall. Entering t he vestibu le of the dining-room, one sees to the left a broad stai rway adorned with graceful banisters, leading to the dormitories above. These rooms are newly furnished; each is provided with two clothes lockers, and light brown shades are at all the windows. At the head of the stairs is a suite of rooms intended for t he in structor in·charge. Only Seniors live in the building. The dining-room is sixty feet in lengt h and fifteen feet in height . It is ornamented with twelve Corint hian columns, a handsome fireplace and hand-carved mantle. There are twelve heavy oak tables with Oxford benches. All the woodwork, including the floor, is stained a dark brown "bog-oak." The wall s are richly papered in green and the ceiling is calcimined in the same color. Large swinging doors open into a servi ng room which is to be provided with steam tables and other co nveniences for t he better preparation of food . F rom t hese doors t he dining-room with its snow-white tables present a beautiful picture, perhaps unequalled by any college dining-room in t he count ry. F rom t he serving room descent is made to t he kitchen. Here is a modern twelve-foot range with broiler and hot water tank attached. On each side of t he basement passage to t he kitchen there are three rooms; on the right is a waiter's room, store-room, and cold storage; on t he left a cook's room, baker's room, and linen room. In t he rear of the kitc hen is t he bakery, well equipped with utensils and a portable bake-oven. This oven is built of bric k, in a solid steel case; it weighs twelve thousand pounds and can do t he baking for t hree hundred persons daily . By the side of the bakery is the coal bin with a capacity of forty tons. The entire cost of t his building and furnishings was about $30,000. 26 37 �Those who have read prevtou editions of the Rat- Tat are familiar with the lives of the men St. John's has sent forth from the time-honored walls of Pinkney and McDowell.

In a short t ime he received his commission and entered the Artillery branch of the service. H e was soon promoted to Fin t Lieutenant, and in 1902 was furth er promoted to Captain and assigned to duty at Fort McKinl ey, Honolulu, where he is at present. h h f' 41 40 �Lieut. James E. Abbott Another St. John's man who has chosen for his life work the protection of Old Glory is James E. Abbott. Mr. Abbott was born in Annapolis, Maryland, August 16, 187 1. After attending the public schools of that city, he entered St. John's College. Here he remained three years, withdrawing at the end of that time to engage in the newspaper business. He was a member of Maryland National Guard until the Spanish-American War, when he enlisted in the Fifth Company U. S. V. Signal Corps. Throughout the war he held the rank of sergeant. On November 30, 1898, he was honorably discharged from the service, and received from his commander a special commendation to the Secretary of War, for meritorious conduct. On August 17, 1899, be was commissioned as Second Lieutenant in the Volunteer Army and assigned to the Forty Second Infantry U.S. V., which was then stationed at Niagara, New York. Later he was detailed on recruiting duty in Maryland and Delaware. In October, he accompanied his regiment to San Francisco, where they embarked for the Philippines. Arriving at Manila, December 25, be was sent to Southern Luzon and went into active campaigning. Under the Army reorganization, be was appointed Lieutenant at large in the regular army, by President McKinley. On May 20, his regiment was ordered home and he arrived at San Francisco, June 21. Here he was mustered out of the volunteer service with his regiment. On July 22, he took the examination for the regular army and after passing successfully he left for his home in Annapolis. After sixty days' leave, he was assigned to the Twelfth Cavalry stationed at Fort San Houston, Texas. Later he was recommended for the Field and Staff College at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, from which he graduated in 1903. After a leave of sixty days, he was ordered to join his regiment, then in the Philippines and he sailed from San Francisco, November 1, 1903. On January 16, 1904, he was promoted to the rank of First Lieutenant, and is now stationed on the Island of Batangas. Lieutenant Abbott has many friends in his native city. He has the distinction of being the only Annapolitan who was in active service during the Spanish-American War. Lieut. William G. Fay Was born in Annapolis, Maryland. At the age of ten, he entered the Preparatory School for St. John 's. Graduating from there in 1893, he entered the College from which he received his diploma June 16, 1897. After his graduation, Mr. Fay spent t wo years in New York with the firm of Bell & Co., bankers. Later he took an examination with fifteen others for Second Lieutenant in the United States Marine Corps, and stood first. On April 4, 1900, he entered the service, and was assigned to duty at Camp Wainwright, Annapolis, Maryland. From there he was ordered to the U.S. S. Alabama, attached to the North Atlantic Squadron. After several months of this duty he was placed in command of the Marine Guard of the United States Receiving Ship Franklin, stationed at Norfolk, Virginia. There he remained until ordered to the Philippines, April1 , 1902. Arriving there, he was stationed at the San Fillipe Barracks, and later placed in command of the Marine Guard of the U.S. S. New Orleans. He is now at Cheefoo , China, the nearest native port to the Russo-Japanese War. 3/n .fflrmorta1n LIEUT. DEWITT C. LYLES. De Witt C.

Senior History Our Senior year has been by no means dry and uninteresting. When we have we sh ~ll look back upon our college career with pleasure, if not with pride. Many .thmgs we w1ll remember, and some things we shall probably tell our grand-children. Beauttft~l thought! Per~aps we will remember longest those things which happened in our Semor ~ear. We wtll not soon forget that morning in November when Dr. Fell announced m Chapel that the new Hall was at last ready for occupation. A whoop w~nt up from .the. Seniors, follo wed by cheers from the other classes. The whole class sktpped all reCltatwns that morning to move from the old quarters into the new. graduat~d, It is 1904,- a year since a history has been written. In our opinion, the greatest mistake in that time was made when we elected the same Historian to succeed himself. "The class has many strong features"-to quote Burroughs-but it lacks entirely a~ idea of the importance of being well published, for the Historian is reported to be the btggest "bum" and the laziest man in the Senior Hall. He won't lace his shoes before breakfast one morning in three months ; he won't take part in athletics; he won't do " nothin'," but sit on his fencing-girl cushion and smoke dopes. . What a change! New rooms, new f~trn~ture, al~ modern conveniences, everything and clean. But when snugly housed m our different apartments that night, our feelmgs were not altogether pleasant. Was this the old St. John's we had learned to love? Our surroundings said, "No." bn~ht Another great mistake was t o make Strange treasurer. With the propensities common to all Jews, he duns the fellows before their bills are due, and when fortunate enough to get a dollar, lives on cough-drops for the next week. As a c?nse,quence of ~w· error, we shall have to detail "Rube," "Somer," and "Mooney" to swtpe possum skms and rob potato holes in the cotmtry to get a class shield. vye did not realize before w~at an attachment we had formed for the dark halls of old Pmkney. When we were Freshmen, they had witnessed our home-sickness· when Sophomores, our ghostly midnight prowlings; and when Juniors, they were our studies. We had left those hall s now for good. Never more would we engage in a Fourth Floor rampage or a water battle. It seemed, too, that we were separating from the underclassmen w~om we had l earn~d to love. With t hose thoughts in our minds we went to sleep tha.t mght. Next mormng when we were awakened by the bright sunlight on the snow-whtte walls and glistening furn iture, we ~elt glad of the change. In a few days we had become. accustomed .to our new surroundmgs, yet there still lingers in our hearts a warm affectiOn for old Pmkney Hall and her clin &_ing memories. But we compliment ourselves upon our choice for president. You should see Wirt Wilmer since he is both president and Major. He has all his hats made to order now; but, to be confidential, he is still the same boy of old, with. a few crazy. notions added. He imagines that he is responsible for all that goes on around htm, and c~ntmually harps on what he calls "devotion to duty." Every night at 11.15 sharp, desptt e the anathemas, howls and mumbled Stmday School words, he turns out every light in the hall. We don't like t his, though we can not blame one vested with so mu'ch authority. "Old Lady" Wilson was again made vice-president, not at all because she deserved it, but, being a very sensitive dame, s~e :vould f~el slighted if n~t. giv~n ~orne consideration. But then it doesn't matter who IS vJCe-presldent. The positwn IS stmply honorary. And now the "show" begins. Being no longer under the watchful eyes of those for whom we s~ould set ~~ exa~pl e, we turned ourselve~ loose. "Mooney" again began to do stunts, Old L~d~ . to gtve vent to unearthly shneks practiced and perfected in the h ear~ of a West Vtrgtma forest, and even Wilmer began to sing disconnected snatches of rag-ttme accompanied by jigs. We were boys again, with all a boy's love for fun . We still retain Somerville as secretary, because he never writes minutes and we are not troubled with hearing them read. His duty seems to be to call the roll. He is still in the "fluttering state" mentioned last year. Perhaps this accoun~s for his n~t b.ein~ able to keep still long enough to journalize our momentous proceedm~s. But m JUSt~ce to him, I will say that he has carefully considered, and finall~ determ.med upon one thmgmarriage soon after graduation. We wish him well, but p1ty t he gtrl. Our achievements in athletics during the past year have been gratifying. Mudd made an excellent baseball captain, and was re-elect ed unanimously to the same position this year. This action on the part of the team is a high tribute to his ability. To express general opinion,. ~alb~rt wa.s the best fo?t~all captain i~ the ystory ?f St. John's.

Our schedule this year was a hard one; but through the combined efforts of boys with men' s fearlessness and men's aggressiveness, directed by a head The first part of each evening was usually spent in preparing lessons but about 10 o'c:ock some one would rush out into the hall and cast his vote for United Stat es Senator. Thts would start the ball rolling. . . The .exercises were different each night. Sometimes they would take the form of a dehberattve assembly with everybo~y chairman a~d all speaking at once. The subj ect was generally Theology, about whtch not a Semor knew his own mind . "Benny" "Mallory" and "Som~r': were the loudest speakers. Above the noise which filled every no~k and ~orne r of the bUildmg could be heard the soft, musical (?) tones of "Scabby's" voice swel:1~g out on " The Village by the Sea." The discussion would continue until the parhctpants became disgusted; and they would all rush out to join "Scabby," walking 55 54 �slowly to and fro, lost in his song: Then "Scabby" would display his fine chest and broad shoulders, Masey would set up the cigars, Wirt would turn out the lights (11 .13 p.m.) and all would go to bed. At other times the exercises would take the form of a comic opera, in which "Mooney" was always star comedian. Music was furnished by those who got hold of the instruments first, and everybody joined in a march up and down the hall to the tune of "You Don't Belong to the Regulars," or some other popular song. "Mooney" would break out from the crowd and give us an imitation "o' dem goo-goo eyes." Instruments would be thrown aside and attention given to that veritable mimic. He, being instructor, would hear a recitation in Greek from Mr. Mudd. That gentleman having responded, and having received three "zips" and reported once or twice, "Mooney" would proceed to show how "Booby" Hall dances, how Mallory draws his sword, and several other "bows," after which he would rush to Ills room. Upon being implored to come out and prolong the exhibition, he would stick his head out of the door and say "ain' goin' tell ye," slam the door, and go to bed. Then a general entertainment would ensue. "Masey" and "Scabby'' would perform the "illustrated joke;" "Old Lady" would sing "If I Were Only Sam Montgomery;" Masey would refuse the cigars, and we would retire to our respective dens.

HALT! ee e · ray, h'ray, h'ray! Sam Montgomery! Thus has time passed, with never a day lacking its quota of fun. We were much surprised one day when Beachley contributed a mite and sprung a joke. It is his best, worst, and only joke and deserves repet.ition. "Once upon a time a man owned a big speckled hen which laid an egg every day. One day he put a large porcelain egg in the nest and to his surprise the hen laid one that he could not tell from it. 'By Jove,' he thought aloud, 'if she will only Jay one as large as the nest egg every day, I have a fortune.' So he put in a goose egg next time. The hen deposited one just as large. With the dream of 'get-rich-quick,' he whitewashed a football and put it in the nest. Next day he was rewarded with an egg as large as the pigskin, but was startled by a label on it saying, 'What do you take me for, an ostrich?' He broke the egg and-the hen was inside." Do you see the joke? No one did when he told it, but the sickly grin he produced was the cause of some merriment. This reminds me of "Scabby's" "frog tale" Eve used to tell Abel. We won't tell it, nor will we admit that "Scabby" is not original. If he can't construct a good joke, he can make a house from cellar to attic in a week (that is, on paper), and do it well. He is going to plan a club house for Morgan next summer. We have ponies, automobiles and almost every other kind of conveyance in the Hall, but the most peculiar and most dreaded is the water-wagon. It probably derives its name from the fact that nothing stronger than water may be used to lubricate its many and intricate parts. It rides hard, especially on Saturday nights; and a throw is dangerous, chiefly because the victim must nurse his injuries in silence. You remember that earthquake shock at Annapolis, reported some time ago? That shock was caused by "Hick" and "Old Lady" falling simultaneously from the awe-inspiring wagon. They escaped with their lives, but both suffered painful injuries. "Old Lady" had the jim-jams, and "Hick" an abnormal enlargement of the cranium. Since the fall, "Hick" has retired to his den, and opens up for neither saint nor sinner. Sometimes we see him go out to the letter box and back again. When he talks he says he is taking a "correspondence course." 56 f-7 �Th e Juni or . 58 �Class of 1905 MOTTO. Esto Quod Esse Videris. COLORS. Yal e Blue and Gold. YELL. ·. Rah!

Like Carter, he has a fondness for Chemistry. He spends half his time in the laboratory and the other half arguing with McBride on religious questions. Studies when he has nothing else to do, and goes to classes when he has .reached his limit of demerits. Has a pull with the MaJor and expects to be a First Lieutenant in his Senior year. "Where ignorance is bliss, etc." "In men this blunder still you find, All think their little set mankind." BERNARD M. CARTER always had the ambition to be a great Chemist. At the beginning of this year he spent fortyseven hours per week (more or less) in the laboratory, and went to no recitation but Chemistry. The faculty informed him that he must cease to devote all his time to this branch of study. He did, and now he devotes it to reading Tip Top Weeklies. Last year "Bull" was elected Secretary of the RA'r- TAT Board. He worked hard in his official capacity; wrote the minutes of one meeting and lost the book. He is a musician of some note, though his fame has not yet spread beyond the boundaries of his native state. It was our intention, dear reader, to show you B. DUVALL CHAMBERS with his mustache; but the hard-hearted wretch has shaved it off, so you must try to imagine how he looked. He entered our class last fall, and when at the first class-meeting he attended it was announced to him what -the dues were for the coming year, he fainted . A pitcher of water revived him and he managed to live through the meeting. He lives in the new Hall. Plays on the guitar, and sings love songs to General Grant. He is a faithful worker and a good class-mate and would be a handsome fellow-if he only had his mustache. 60 We believe that EDMUND PEYTON DUVALL was one of the founders of St. John's. When he came here no one but Tommy, Johnny Green, and himself can remember. Ned believes that :ariety is the spice of life, for as soon as a new class arnves he deserts all others for it. 'Tis said that he has learned five class yells. He was of a very lively disposition, but he fell in love with one of the chorus girls in The Prince of Pilsen and since that time he has never been quite himself. J. HOWARD Fox is from Baltimore County, as no doubt you have already guessed. He has the regulation Baltimore County expression on his face, and also the prescribed w~lk ?f that. community. He looks rather pleasant in this pJCture, It was taken just after he was elected President o~ the Y. M. C. A. "Foxy" is quite a military man; smce he was promoted to sergeant his head has gro":n considerably. He says that the increase is due to his great knowl edge of Math. Perhaps it is. He is one of the most promising members of the surveying corps. 61 �HARRISON RODGERS GORE, ladies and gentlemen, from Upper Marlboro. He was a pretty good fellow when he came here; went to Y. lVI. C. A. once a month and ehurch every other Sunday, but he roomed on the fourth floor for two years, and-well 'tis the same old story: he soon fell into fourth floor ways and began to send Freshmen to church on Sunday and make them answer prese nt for him on Monday. He reads dime novels durin g the day and goes to the theater at night. Delights in melodrama, his two favorites being The Fight for Millions, and The Fast Mail. This year he moved down to the third floor and under Draper's good influence has begun to reform. If he stays there another year, and puts "Prep" Gosnell out, we may yet reclaim him; otherwise there is little hope. JoHN M. GREEN is the oldest inhabitant of St. John's, having arrived two years before Ned Duvall. H e often tells us some very interesting stories of his early college clay s. "Johnny" is a happy-go-lucky fellow, who ne:er worries about what the morrow may have in store for lnm. H e is a rather handsome chap, and the girls all like him, but don't t ell bini so, it might make him vain. lie is also an excellent dancer in spite of his hundred and ninety avoirdupois, and glides over th e floor like a cluck over water. At present,he is engaged in writing a book entitled, "Nine Years at St. John's." Don't let this harmless expression on the face of ARTHUR W. HARRIS deceive you. He is like dynamite; safe if you know how to handle him, but extremely dangerous t o any one ignorant of his properties. He sometimes goes off with a bang upon the slightest provocation, and t he shock produced is something awful. Since his arrival at St. John's he has been stored in Magazine Number 16, in charge of Fox. Harris always has a rainy-day expression on his face and bow this picture was made to assume such a pleasant look is one of the mysteries of photography. Unlike mo st Juniors he has a very modest opinion of himself. 62 S. ~OLAND HoPKINS is a handsome boy from Harford' County . . If you can't reconcile these two facts, just look at the _PICture and the former will be proved; you must t ake his word for the other. " Hop " has a laugh like th~ purr of a Numidian lion. We do not hear it often this year fo.r he has ~een sorely pierced with Cupid's shaft, ~nd . sits around m obscure corners, whiling away hours m silent meditation. We fear that he will event ually becom.e a speculator, for he has already invested some money m Bond's. Of HARRY I. JACKSON there is not much to be said and perhaps the less said the better. His ambition 'is to become a preacher. We wish him success and extend our heartfelt syi?~athies to the congregation. He has an. excellent opmwn of himself ; thinks he can sing, thmks he can play football, thinks he is an orator ·- ' "0 wad some.power the giftie gie us To see ourselves as others see us." This gentleman with such a seraphic smile is J . VINCENT JAMISON, JR., a great athlete, and a would-be sport.

"Cork" is a man in years, a boy in size, and an infant in manner. His low stature is probably caused by the weight of that enormous title which he bears. His favorite occupation is making life miserable for the inhabitants of the third floor. Whenever you have a lot of work t o do in a: limited time, you may look out for a visit from "Cork." His coming is usually announced by a rattling on the door. If you don't open up right away, he will rattle until you do . After you have kicked over three chairs, upset the ink, and dropped your pen in the slop-bucket to open the door,. he enters, looks at the calendar, circumnavigates the table three times, and goes out again, never failing to leave th e door open after him . He is very ingenius, and his room abounds in all sorts of laborsaving devices. If Y?U have ever _seen JOSEPH R. PENNELL you can not fatl to know h1m. H e introduces himself and makes such a ! ~sting impression upon you that y~u can never f~rget lum. Where he came from, no one knows but h1m ~elf, ~nd he won't tell. We have succeeded in t racmg hun back to Ohio, but there we lost the trail. "_Hank" has three chief desires: the first is to marry the ?IT! he loves, t he second is to pass Math and the third 1 to go to Heaven when he dies. s He~e. we_ have the great and only MERRIT GALE RASIN. This man with the Latter Day Saint expression on his face is CLARENCE A. McBRIDE. He taught school for a short time before he came to St. John's, and now he labors under the impression that he is still a t eacher. He tries to teach the students, the Professors, and the world at large. Some one once told "Mac" that he could play a cornet and he has believed it ever since. Day by day he sits in his room and blows upon that instrument to his own satisfaction and onr disgust. Expects to be leader of the band next year, "By Gosh." M. KEITH NEVILLE is from the wild and woolly west. He was brought in from the plains of Nebraska by a tornado and as he came by Feldmeyer's Drug Store he bought two tickets to a burlesque show. Thus began his sporting life, and it bas continued up to the present time. "Punch" is a musician, he sings tenor in the "Sour Grapes Quartette," and composes beautiful sentimental songs. When be graduates he will either become a member of Congress or a Professor of Math. 64 1 his picture would look more like him if he had two or three secoi~d-hand uniforms on his arm. "Mac" is a speculator .m second-hand clothing . He has b een very . , successful m h1s profession, for he has that wonderful P?wer to ~ake the same suit of clothes fit persons of different sizes. "Mac" is President of the Junior Class , as you can tell by that important look on his face. "He's a roystering jolly good fellow, And always prepared for a fling, But yet has one failing accursedHe thinks he is able to sing." HENRY L. RULAND is "Mac's" room-mate. If it requires persons of opposite natures to agree, "Mac" and "Monk" ~hould get along finely. The only similarity between them 1 that they are both Math fiends. " Monk" came from s ~p_eonk. Have you ever heard of the place? He says 1t IS the Metropolis of Long Island, but we fail to find it the map. , His one delight i~ rea?ing magazines and . Black Cats. He does not beheve m hurrying t hrough hfe too fast; says he wants to enjoy it.as he goes. "Monk" ~vas elected treasurer of ·the RAT-TAT Board, because 1f he chose to skip with the funds he would not be bard to catch. ?,n 65 �If ARMINE W. SMITH does not enjoy life, few people do. H e is a society man, spends most of his time clown town , and a great part of it in the pantry of a certain Maryland Avenue residence. His nerve is proportional to his eating capacity- both are infinite. "Smitty" sings in the Glee Club. He has a beautiful tenor voice and desires that every one should know it. He is a member of that band of musicians which goes forth on moonlight nights to serenade the fair maids of Annapolis. Expects to be Major. We now pres~n t to you_ the last man, alphabetically and o~herw1 se, 111 the Jumor Class. His name is HARRY W . V\ ILLING. He has numerous pseudonyms and aliases but the one by :vhich he is best known is " Pop. " H~ had hard luck this year; just as he was busy at wo rk on t he RAT-~AT he caught the mumps. 0 that it had been lock-J aw. "Pop" is a second ed1tio~ of "Punch." Heyoses_ as a sport, goes to ~heater, and out among t he la_c hes qmte frequently. He ts also quite a punster, and ofte1: has a room fuJJ of fellows t rying to find the point to h1s . okes. "God bless t he man who first invented sleep," says JOHN A. TARBERT every Sunday afternoon, and · then he lies down to take his Sunday nap. It usually lasts through most of the following day, but he calls it his Sunday nap. The reasons for this so mnolence are easily seen when we know that he is from Baltimore County and is a brother to Harry. "Country," as he is sometimes call ed, is of a rather quiet disposition; perhaps it is due to his close association with "Monk" Ru land . He is an excell ent baseball player when he is awake . To tell the exploits of t his hero would req uire a mi ghtier pen than mine, yet, t hat you may know him if you should meet him again, I wi ll give you a few facts concerning his life. His name is DUNCAN CAMERON CARLTON WALTON. If yo u don't care to repeat that tongue twister, just call him "Bones" and he will come "Bones" is a Chemistry student, and has become so skilful in that bran ch· of science t hat Prof. Cissel sometimes allows him to sweep the snow off the walk in front of the Lab. About a year ago he had a seriou s attack of heart trouble, and for two months he was comp ell ed to visit the Doctor's house three times a day . He was finally cured by removal from State Circle and vigorou s t rack team work _ 66 (i7 �M.

It took some time to get these fellows used to the ways of 1905 for "Rat " "Cork" and "Mac" would not skip classes for some time after their arrival a~d someti~es in the warm days of Spring, it is essential to our well-being that we take a day off. Junior History Time has flown so quickly since the class of 1905 first assembled within the walls of old Pinkney, it hardly seems possible that we should have a history. Bu~ as I sit .back, with my pipe in my mouth, thinking over the events that have occurred m that .time, I realize that there is a history, and that many things have happened which have smce almost passed from our memory . Former historians of this class have pictured the midnight raids of our Freshman and Sophomore years, in one case with us as the raiders, in the other as the raidees; of ~he scrap with the Juniors in our Freshman year, and that with the Preps. last year, for which eleven of our number were suspended; so it remains for me to portray the events of our Junior year. We have always been an original class. Although it is not an understood thing among us, we seem to do everything in just the opposite way from that in which all other classes have done it. With most classes it seems to be the custom to study hard during the Freshman year, perhaps to "let up" a' little in the Sophomore and to take life easier through the Junior and Senior years. But we have this just reversed. In our Freshman year there were o~ly four in the class, "Foxy Quiller" "Pop" Willing, "Sis" Hopkins, and "Valk" who st~d~ed at all, and they did not suffer from brain fever. In June, of that year, Fox and W!lhng got star second grade certificates, and Valk and Hopkins got second grades. There was not a man in the class without demerits. Last year the class took a decided brace and in June, eight certificates including three first grades and one star second were captured by 1905 men. That, however, was due mostly to a crowd of new fellows who entered the class in the Sophomore year. This year we are all overloaded with work. In addition to our Junior stud~es, which are about the hardest in college, we have to follow in the footsteps of all other Jumor classes and publish, or try to publish, a Rat-Tat. "Pop" Willing, our Editor-in-Chief, seems to have given up studying for this yea~, to do. Rat- Tat :vorl~. I~ February he flunked th:ee exams, including English. Just thmk of 1t, the Ed1tor-m-Chwf of the Rat- Tat flunkmg English. Many members of the class have fallen by the wayside; some left at the end of our Freshman year, and more at the end of last year. In our Freshman year we had twenty six members; a jolly crowd of romping, fun-loving boys, who had assembled from all parts of Maryland, and even from from Nebraska and New York. At the end of that year, Brogden, Graham, Lilly, and G. F. Smith, for various reasons, left college. The next.f~ll upon returning to college, we found an.other crowd of ~~yseed~ here. w?,o ~xpecte?, t~ JOl~ our class, and who did finally make 1t. They were Sportmg Ltfe Ferrell, Plillp 70 Webster Wells was among the number that were shipped for hazing preps., and he was the only one that did not come back. He is now studying law at the University of ~aryland. (He should have studied it before, so he would have been better able to plead h1s cause before the faculty). Thi~ fall we received bad news when we arrived, for nearly half the class bad deserted us. "Bill" Askey, "Jay" Bird, "Parson" Bowen, "Dal" Cronin "Sporting Life" Ferrell, "Pimp" Gladden, "Uncle Phil" Merryman "Rat" Trail 'Eugene Valk and "Dutchey" Vey failed to come back, and great we~e the lament;tions of the Junior cla~s over our los~. The fo~rt~ floor misses ".Dal," who used to sit in the hall every night unt1l one or two o clock, tellmg JOkes. The thu·d floor has the greatest loss in "Uncle Phil " "D u t chey, " "Ra t , " an d "p· ' Imp. " "U ncle Phil" was the champion water thrower of the college, and he and "Smitty" used to have water battles every night. Our disappointment was somewhat abated by the addition of "Parson" Jackson and b.ut eve~ as the historian writes this, "Parson" is on his way to Chicago. 'Tis smd that he Is marned, and that is why he left college. C~ambers, In athletics we have always done well. In our Freshman year, although buttwo of our men played football, we had four men on the baseball team. Last year we had four men on the regular football team and three subs, while this year, 1905 men filled five places on the regular team and one was a substitute. In baseball last year we had three men and two subs. on the regular team, and out of six men who won track team monograms three ' were '05 men. In our Freshman year, in the class baseball games, we won from the Juniors, 24 to 5, but lost t? the Sopho~ores 9 to 1_. Last spring, after winning from the Seniors 17 to 11, w_e went mto the Jumor game With the determination to do or die. Never did "Ned" p1tch so well, never did the teal~ bat .so well, an d the result was that we won the game, 14 to ~' and thus took the champiOnship of the college from 1904, who had held it ever since their Freshman year. V'!e have not a.very musi~al class, although to hear Smith sing, or to listen for hours at a .ti.me to ~~1e de~~ghtf:il strams ~f McBride's cornet, one would imagine that we are all musiCians. " Ma.c R~sm must thmk he can sing, for he goes through the hall at all hours of t~e day, wearmg h1s heart away" for some one, we know not whom, and wearing our patience away at the same time. "Cut it out," Mac, or you will be assassinated. Wonderfu.l to say, we have two men who are regular attendants of theY. M. C. A., Fox and Mc~nde. yYe always supposed Fox would be president, but we could not imagine where the VI~e~prestdent would come from, until McBride arrived. This class bas never been very rehgJOus, and I do not believe the whole class has ever been to church together but once. On Sunday, November 13, of our Freshman year, the movement was agitated fo: ~very one to go to church, simply because it was the 13th of the month . No doubt the llllmster thought thirteen was quite a lucky number when he saw the class of 1905 fil e in one by one on that auspicious occasion, but I don't know what he thought when be saw 71 �them fil e out, one by one, before he commenced his sermon . We have had, at various · times, three preachers in our class. "Parson" Bowen was the first one and this year there are two, Jackson and Chambers. They help to keep up the reputation of the class in religious matters, although they never go toY. M. C. A. It was a sight to see the whole class go to the reception given by t heY. M. C. A., t he first part of t he year. There are strong indications that they went to get the ice cream and cake given away at that time, for very few have been seen at a meeting since. Although the individual members of the class have been more fully described in another part of this book, a few words on their peculiar characteristics would not be amiss. To the Sons of Old 1905 Who Have Gone From Our Midst John M. Green was elected vice-president, probably because he is so handsome t hat he had to have some position, and that of vice-president is purely ornamental; so we decided it was the best place for him . "Cork" Kemp is a good specimen of Eastern Shore humanity-or inhumanity. is a great pest and-well, that is about all that can be said of him. We Gratefully Dedicate th is Spa ce He Clarence A. McBride has but one prominent peculiarity, and this has already been t reated so full y in another part of this book, that no more need be said about it. Of course, you all know what this is. You would if you lived within five miles of him; for he blows on his cornet from morning till night, under the delusion t hat he is making music. This history would not be complete without Armine Smith's name in it. He expects to be major next year, but we are not so sure of this. WILLIAM ASKEY, w. BIRD, The Editor-in-Chief of the Rat-Tat should, in the natural course of events, come in for 2 good sound berating, but, poor fellow, he has enough trouble, so we will let him go this time . .JACOB If the mumps do not prevent it, next year at least half of us will be Seniors. Ah! Can this be possible? Yes. Every day, every week, carries us nearer to the much -soughtfor and long-awaited goal, that of "High Muckety Mucks" and "Chief Cooks and Bottle Washers" of St. John's. Imagine the delight of having no haughty and superciliou s upper-classman ready to yell at you in ranks; in fact, no one but yourself to order you about. Such joy, such exhilaration as we will experience next September, when we come back with the feeling that we can do almost as we please. And now, with many thanks for your kind attention, and apologies for t his everlasting bore of a history, I will close, with best wishes for the future welfare of St. John 's and the Class of 1905.

This narration is intended not for the eyes of grammarians, nor for the blue pencil of critics, but for the sons of this old college; they alone can appreciate our struggles and adventures. This is a Sophomore Class History and let us hope that the members of 1906 will treasure it not as a piece of literature, but as a memento of the happiest days of a lifetime. This may well be called the first year of our college life. We are no longer poor, timid and much-abused Freshmen; those days of terror have passed. We are college men, and we have a small finger in all that goes on. Sometimes it is a very small finger, when we think it should be the whole fist. Confidentially, we would like to be the entire show and lord over all, but we can't. The upper-classmen won't let us, so we must stand back and look on for another year and let those wise Seniors and Juniors run the machine. There is one thing, however, that this class can do, and that is to offer lots of good advice concerning matters of great importance, under consideration. We have several members who are noted for their wise counsel, and the upper-classmen frequently consult them on matters of state. Three things are noticeable in the Senior and Junior classes; they are: First, the air with which those dignitaries strut about; second, the endless "red tape" that they must always go through; and third, the deluges of "hot air" which they pour out upon us and which we must bear, simply because 'ive are under-classmen. There is so much of this "warm atmosphere" about us that I fear by the time we are Seniors the same will have been imbued in us, and we will be just like the present leading spirits at St. John's. that time. They have been a rather quiet and well-behaved class of "Freshies," just as all "Freshies" should be. Occasionally some of them need a calling down, and they get it with a right good will. The Sophomore Class is also the G. 0. H. For the benefit of those who never ran afoul of this bunch of heavyweight door smashers I will write it out. G. 0. H. means Grand Order of Hazers. It is this aggregation that does all the deviltry, breaks all the furniture, throws water, cuts the Freshmen's hair when it is too long and worries the life out of Tommy. It does all of this and much more, and is called the worst nuisance in college, but it makes the "Freshies" stay where they belong, so it is some good after all. Were it not for the G. 0 . H. the Freshmen would soon take the place, and then we would have to call out the "Heroes Prepis Belli" to restore order. In the evening, after supper-not every evening, for we do not rough-house the Freshmen every night-four or five Sophs will be gathered in "Buck" Devries' room taking a quiet smoke, when in walks "Prep" Gosnell, hot on the trail of the man with a bag of Maryland Club. The first thing "Prep" does after he has gotten his . "coffin tack" and planted his feet on the table is to inquire if there is a quorum present. A quorum must be present before the G. 0 . H. can go on a rampage. If the required number is not there, "Prep" goes out on a hunt and soon corrals a bunch of Sophs, thirsty for Freshman blood and eager for a rough-house . "Upstairs," yells "Biddy" Clark and they are off. In goes the door, out goes the light, and the fun begins. When it is over, and the Freshman crawls out from under a pile of beds, trunks, bureaus and washstands, he thinks his room has been swept by a tornado. This performance lasts just long enough for Bob White, or the 0 . D., to arrive and the following morning it is announced in Chapel that Mr. - - is rapidly approaching the limit. The reaction always sets in the next morning, you know, just like the morning after you have been enjoying yourself with an old friend. You would imagine, from the sour expression on some of their faces, that the culprits had actually been on a red-paint sortie, and that there was going on somewhere in the iRterior an eruption of Mumms Extra· Bubbles. They are a gloomy crowd for the next few days, and the poor Freshmen have to swallow many a bitter pill. Some one has to "pay the fiddler" you know, and it usually falls upon these poor innocent "Rats." You can imagine how the poor lambs feel. Show me the person who would be tickled into hysterics at finding his wordly effects scattered to all points of the compass. Why, it is enough to make a man take a dose of surveying. I know how they enjoy it, and my heart bleeds for them (sometimes). I was a Freshman once myself. On the 18th day of last September the echoes of a class yell were heard floating over the front campus. As the last line of the yell died away, a crowd of light-hearted, noisy fellows came into sight, and every one knew that the class of 1906 had returned. Some one yelled "Sophs," and what happened then is beyond my power to describe. There was a great scampering of green-hued objects, but really they went so fast and disappeared so suddenly one could not tell what they were. We have learned since that they were Freshmen; some of them are running yet. Poor, dear children! How they must have longed for home and mother when they heard that awful word, "Sophs." It doubtless struck terror to their fluttering hearts, for we have heard very little from them since "I'm wearing my heart away for you-" "Kill him!" "Drown him!" "Choke him!" This is the greeting McCardell receives when, in a sentimental frame of mind, he strolls around disturbing the peaceful solitude of Pinkney Hall by yelling that beautiful ballad in his silvery tenor voice. Poor "Mac," he never gets to finish his song for the fellows soon have him on a run for the back campus. There he "wears his heart away" as much 80 81 �as he likes, and carols his feelings over the tar-pit to the dusky daughters of "Buzzard's Roost." "Mac" also recites with much feeling and pathos, "The Picture on the Barroom Floor," drawn with chalk from the pool table. It is a beautiful little classic, and "Mac" renders it so well that I have seen crowds moved to tears by it. We are not all athletes and do not desire to be, but we mean to uphold the reputation of '06 on the athletic field and everywhere. Our motto is, "Many heads, but one mind." Our class is large, but we stand shoulder to shoulder in our struggle for fame and fortune. Long wave the Blue and Gray! I call on you, her sons, to love, honor, and defend it. Fight for it, die for it, but never debase nor disgrace it. "Viii you oben der door up or viii you haf me pring id in on rna pack? Vy vud you make me remain oud here in der damp vedder? I know you fellows vas in dere. Did you egspect me to nonblief dese ears uf mine vat I haf had all der dime?"' It is "Aleck" Rub!, our class treasurer, after dues, and if you are in, you might as well open up and hand over the coin, for if be knows you are at home and are trying to hold him off by keeping out of sight, be will come through and there will be only a hole in the wall where your door used to be. "Aleck" usually gets what be comes after, for he always brings along his hard-luck story, and mixed in with the Dutch there is a little Hebrew, and the conglomeration gives him an air of persuasiveness that is irresistible." "Handsome Harry," as he is sometimes called, is a number one man and a worthy member of the Sophomore Class. In our last history we had the first chapter of a very interesting serial story entitled, "Ripping, Roaring Bull Harrison, the Loudest Man in the Institution." This story is in seven parts (one for each year at college). Part II. shows our hero deeply engrossed in the Social Problem. He is trying to discover if all the fellows in college are descended from the nobility of their respective Fatherlands, and if the blood that flows through their veins is too blue to trickle. His aim is to make all the red blood in the world blue, and so make us all aristocrats. It is a glorious work, and we wish him every success. When we were Freshmen, we were so bashful that ·I honestly believe had a girl smiled at one of our class, that man would have fallen over in a dead faint. A year can work wonderful changes, however, and now our class is full of lovers,-Lord Chesterfields and Hacketts all. Show me the maid who could resist the charms of "Booboo" Hall, or "Ma" Hearn. These two handsome young lovers have more broken hearts to their credit than the rest of the class taken together. Oh, the degeneracy of an unrestrained puppy-love. I can not but weep when I follow along in the wake of my lady fair and behold the lifeless forms of my chums and class-mates who have fallen in their first encounter with the little god. These youthful sons of '06 died game, for there still lingers upon their faces that same beautiful smile which they wore when first they began to revel in love's sweet dreams. Beware, all ye who soar away among the realms of Cupid, lest ye fall from his good graces. 'Tis a sad tumble, and when you hit the earth something is going to be found smashed. I have read histories in which the writer boasted of athletes. I am not going to boast of ours, nor tell who they are, nor what their calibre is, but simply say that we have in our class ten or twelve monograms, and that is as much as any class in college can say. 82 R3 �·.:r--- •I ;' . f ~-- .

EUGENE MAGRUDER, WALTER Freshman History STROHM, CHAUNCEY J. SUIT, Although our class has been in existence but a short time, we are proud of our record. We feel our importance and are ambitious to make 1907 the banner class at St. John's. When we came to College in September, we found, upon taking a census, that the main body of the class was to be formed by those who came over from the P rep. School. However, we were joined by a number of new men who have proved themselves valu able additions to our class. . These new members are of various descriptions: There are tall , lanky fellows, and low sq uatty fellows; some with a careless, merry laugh and others with a more serious mien, upon whom th e public care seems to rest rather heavily.

WILLIAMS, 88 8\J �Our class enjoys the distinction of having the longest and the shortest man inCollege. We are cosmopolitan in the strict sense of the word; but, taken altogether we have in our midst a set of lads as promising as ever entered St. John's. The worthy Sophomores recognized this fact, for when we had been here only a few days, t hey kindly invited us to attend a night school under the assumed name of the Glee Club. This latter name was probably derived from the fact that the Freshies make merry when it is over. In this club we were put under the command of most exalted President, and the direction of a very enlightened faculty whose duty it was to draw out the strong points of our character in order that they might tend carefully the growing buds of genius. Their method was the Deductive, which, for bringing out the best in a pupil, is without doubt unsurpassed. Besides these dignitaries there were present a large number of Honorary Members andretired educators. When everything had been arranged, each of us was compelled to step to the front and give an exhibition of his skill. I shall not attempt to describe in this limited space all the wonderful deeds done on that night. However, the picture of a nursery wherein the baby who slumbered so peacefully was somewhat longer than his cradle is still fresh in my mind . This baby was little Con tee "Longfellow," our infant poet. Since that time he has grow11 so rapidly that we think perhaps he will be able to hit a ball and toddle around the bases for a home run this spring. a After the nursery scene, the master of ceremonies called for candidates for the crew, and a number promptly responded. They were arranged after the manner of the "Three Wise men of Gotham." Among these volunteers was "Miss Dick Brydon," who was afterward call ed to the helm to pilot the class of 1907 through its Freshman year. Having proven the mettle of the candidates, the Honorable Faculty, tiring of worldly things, turned their attention to the spiritual and rejoice ~ in the soul-refreshing sight of a strong man wrestling with temptation. When at last he conq uered the foe, long and loud were the shouts which greeted his victory.

At the close of these entrance examinations, the Faculty came to us, and, taking our hands, congratulated us on our good showing; at the same time secretly declaring that we should have every opportunity for the cultivation of our talents. In athletics we have worked with a will and have accomplished much. In the football squad we had two regulars, two subs and five promising second team men . We have, also, a number of candidates for the baseball team who are showing up well. "Possum" Parsons and "Shorty" Tower are developing into fair pitchers, so that we will be able to furni sh men for almost every position on the team when they are needed. We have, too, "Jake" Harrison, the champion tennis player of the College. Consequently, we pride ourselves on being well represented in athletics, for so young a class. Throughout the year we were very good, and consequently we did not receive many visits from the Sophs. But someti mes when t he lights would go out, the cry of" All Sophomores out!" would ring through the halls, striking terror to the heart of some poor little 90 01 �Special Class Members BURTIS COOPER, Charlestown, 1\II d.

Heretofore they were held either in the Chapel or around the organ in the gallery. In the first case, the fellows were too fa r from the organ, and in the second, it was too inconvenient. Through the kindness of Dr. Fell, the old faculty room was placed at our disposal. This room has been nicely fitted up and is an ideal place for the members to assemble ancl indulge in those heart-to-heart talks which are so much enjoyed by those present. RUHL, HODGSON , AsHBAUGH, ND still the same old cry of "All out for Y. M. C. A. " is heard on. Sunday evenings. The attendance this year has been much better than that of last, yet there are still many who might respond to the call, but whose faces are never seen in our midst . To th e interrogatory why, we would say that we scarcely know the reason fo r their absence. Certainly it is not that any one among our numbers places a low estimate upon the value of our work, for "·e are sure every ~ tudent recognizes the worth of the Association and the lofty purpose of its work. Its object has been stated time and time again, and the usual invitation to become a member has been extended to all. Added to this was the personal work of the members, yet there still exists on the part of some students that spirit of indifference which is found in almost every college. The officers, however, are endeavoring to overcome this indifference, and we are proud to say that they are waging a successful fight . May the victories of today be stepping stones to greater victories for tomorrow. !:::.,•Yll TARBERT, J . WILLING, WRIGHTSON. ll3 112 �The Northfield Trip The fi rst Summer Conference for students was held at Mount Hermon, Massach usetts, in 1886. At that titre few South ern colleges \\ere represented, but as the influence of the m ovement spread, the number of delegates increased, and now almost every college and universi ty in t he Eastern part of the United Stat es sends representatives to t his great convention. College so~~s were sun~ as never before and college yells rang out just as on the football field. I he ceremomes lasted about two hours, and then all retired to their t ents t' d but happy after celebrating the freedom of their coun try At the end of tl f ' Ire t dt · 1e con erence ~~ ret ~rne o our h~mes grea.tJy b~nefittecl by our trip and strengthened in our relip:iou~ n en wn~.. Long will there linger m our minds the memory of those pleasant clays and the beaut1fuJ_ scenes which surrounded the hills of Northfield. ' St. John's, for a number of years, has sent two delegates to Northfield, but last year, by an extra effort on the part of the members, the faculty and our friends, we were enabled to send three. The delegat es ]eft Baltimore F riday morning, Jun e 26, at eight o'clock and arrived at Northfield about 11.00 A.M. the following clay. We were cordially welcomed by the other delegates and t he officers who assigned us to our tent. After we had put things to rights we started out on a sight-seeing expedition . Camp Northfield is situated in a beautiful woods of pine, fir, and birch trees, half way up the side of one of the foothills of the White Mountains. The site is an ideal one. In front, the Connect icut River flo ws majestically by, to th e right are t he buildings of the Seminary, surrounded by lovely greens; to the left are magnificent forests of fir and birch, and in the rear a path canopied with branches of evergreen trees winds its way to the top of t he mountain. An interesting program bad been arranged for each day. Competent teachers conducted classes in Bible Study, Mission Study, and Persona] Work. At 11.00 A.M . and 8.40 P . M., th e auditorium meetings were held. At these meetings we heard the views of some of the most noted speakers of the country on those subjects and questions so perplexing to a student . The most inspirin g of all the meetings were t hose conducted on Little Round Top, at sunset. Little Round Top, the burial place of Dwight L . Moody, with its few lisping pines, its green grass, and its one humble tomb means more to the Christian students of our colleges than any other place on earth . Around it centers the life work of hundreds of student volunteers, and its influence is felt by everyo ne who has r ead of its past history and its past achievements. Among the noted speakers whom it was our pleasure t o hear were Rev. G. Campbell Morgan, the successor of Mr. Moody, Mr. Robert E . Speer, Rev. R. J. Campbell, pastor of the City Temple, London, Judge Seldon P . Spencer of St. Louis, Professor Boswell and Mr. John R. Mott who presided at the meetings. One of the most attractive features of the conference was the Fourth of July celebration held on t he 3d, so that it might not disturb the quiet of the Sabbath. A bonfire fifty feet high was the cent er of a war dance which followed the Auditorium meeting. 114 115 �The Band Instructor. PROF. SIMMS (Naval Academy Band) . Leader CADET CAPTAIN J. w. C. STICK.

In many minds there was serious doubt as to whether St. John's would be able to produce a team equal to those of former years. Our two halfbacks, Garey and Beatty, had graduated, leaving two very important positions to be filled. Professors Cain and Chew, who had rendered valuable assistance to our teams by their coaching, had left St. John's, and Captain Wilmer, our star quarter, could not play. Altogether the prospects were not very bright. Undaunted, however, by these difficulties, the fellows went to work to make not merely a football team, but a good team. Halbert was unanimously chosen captain, and under his leadership the men began to prepare themselves for the coming contests. For two weeks, the candidates were put through the regular co use of preliminary practice; then came the first line-up. From that day until the close of the season every man on the team worked hard, and on the 21st of November they brought back to Old St. John's, laurels of a victory which made her the undisputed champion of Maryland colleges. To our worthy captain, E. 0. Halbert, is due much of the success of the past season. Professor Cissel, in his address to the students, at the close of the season, said, "I consider Captain Halbert fully qualified to take his place beside St. John's most famous captain, Charles Schoff." In Professor Cissel the team found a much-needed coach, and his faithful services proved to be of great value throughout the entire season. And last, but not least, to every player on the team is the credit due. While we have as plucky a set of men as composed last year's team, filled with the true St. John's spirit, and led by a captain like theirs, the Orange and Black will ever maintain its high position among th colleges of Maryland and of America. 126 127 �Football Team J.

Our opponents had already played two games, one of which was against the strong University of Pennsylvania team, and this practice, in addition to their superi or weight, gave tl:em a decided advantage. Throughout the forty minutes of play both teams played fast ball, and every in ch of gro:und was strongly contested. F. and M. kicked off and St. John's and by continued line plunging, carried the ball nearl y to their opponents' goal, but lost it on downs. F. and M. kicked to the center of the field. The ball seesawed up and down the fi eld until near the end of the half, when F . and M. took a brace and began to force our men back to ward their goal. Time was called with the ball on St. John's fi ve yard line. The beginning of the second half was a repetition of the first, neither side being able to score, but toward the last the superior weight of the home t eam began to t ell, and with only two minutes to play, they crossed our goal lin e for the only touchdown of the game. Score, St. John's, 0 ; F. & M., 6. The following Saturday we lined up against Swarthmore. The day was rain y, and our men were much handicapped in having to play on a muddy field against a decidedly heavier team ; yet we were much pleased with the showing they made, especially on defensive work. Swarthmore kicked off to St. John's, but after a few rushes regained the ball and by straight rushes carried it over for a touchdown. Soon after the next. kick-off the ball was carried into Swarthmore's territory, where it remain ed during the rest of the half. Just before time was call ed a touchdown seemed in evitable, but we lost the ball on a fumble, and the half ended with the score, St. John's, 0; Swarthmore, 6. In the second half the playing was nearl y always in Swarthmore's territory, and several times their goal was seriou sly threatened. Twice St. John' s carried the ball to their opponent's five-yard line, but each time were held for downs. The final score was, St. John 's, 0; Swarthmore, 6. Next cam e the game 'vith Maryland Agricultural College. Early in the morning· th eir team arrived, accompanied by a large band of rooters to cheer them on to th e victory th ey hop ed to win. At 10 o'clock, amid a downpour of rain, the two teams trotted upon. the field. The men were about equally matched in weight, and every one looked for an exeiting contest. The ground was covered by about two inches of mud and water, which made fast playing impossible. The feature of th e first half was a long run of seventy-five· yards for a touchdo wn, by our left halfback, Smith. In the second half, Marye was. 130 CAPTAIN EDWAHD 0.

During the forty-five minutes of ' play, St. John's was penalized sixty yards for holding, but even then M.A. C. was unable to score. The game ended with the score 18- 0, in favor of St. John's. On the next Saturday our team went to Wilmington to play Delaware College. The day was clear and cold, and our men went into the game with a snap that carried the Delawarians off their feet. But for the unfortunate decisions of the umpire, the score would have been much larger. Captain Halbert was the star of the game. Final score St. John 's, 6; Delaware College, 0. The tide of victory had not yet tmn ed. On the following Saturday we won a decisive victory over Gallaudet College at Washington. This was one of the cleanest and most exciting games of the seaso n. The playing was fast and uninterrupted by any disputes. Although the score, 22-0, would indicate that the game was one-sided, nevertheless, we found our opponents well worthy of our skill, and were compelled to work hard for every foot of ground th at we gained. Nowhere, during the entire season, were ,,;e more hospitably treated than at Gallaudet. On November ·7, our team went to Charlottesville to play the strong University of Virginia team. The game had not progressed very far before we realized that we were outclassed, and the result was that St. John's experienced th e worst defeat in her football history. Our only consolatio n was the plucky fight our tea m made against odds, and the fact that we scored against Virginia on her home grounds. This score was made in the first half when Captain Halbert swooped up the ball which had been fumbled by one of Virginia's backs, and carried it across the line for a touchdown . In the latter part of the game, by a series of end runs, we carried the ball to our opponent's twenty-five yard lin e, where Duvall tried a drop kick, but without success. Final score, St. John's, 6; Univer• sity of Virginia, 48. ball on a fumble, but was unable to advance it, so Duvall kicked to Western Maryland's fifteen-yard line. Our opponents took the ball, and by steady gains carri ed it to our forty-yard line . At that point they were penalized for holding, but still retained pos~es­ sion of the ball, and a few more rushes carried it to our twenty-five yard line, where th ey lost it on downs. Duvall kicked to the center of the fi eld, an d there it remained during the rest of the half, neither side being able to gain regularly. In the second half it was plain that Western Maryland had weakened. Roberts, who had carried th e ball almost every time in th e first half, could no longer tear open our line for steady gains. St. John's now began to hammer Western Maryland's line and soon had the ball within ten yards of their goal. Duvall tried a drop kick, but it was blocked, and the ball went to our opponents. After a few rushes they were forced to kick and the play went on with varying success until but two minutes of the half remained. Duvall punted to Western Maryland's ten-yard lin e. The ball struck the fullback squarely in the chest and bounded out, and like a flash Captain Halbert caught it and carried it over the line for a touchdown. The game ended with the ball near the center of the field and the score 6- 0 in favor of St. John 's. Our last game of the season was played with Pennsylvania Military College at Chester, Pa. In th e first half of this game our men played well and when time was called, the score was 11- 6 in favor of St. John's. In the second half, P. M. C. took ac 'vantage of our fumbles and scored three touchdowns. The final score was St. John's, 11 , P.M. C., 23. Unfortunately, our games with Virginia Military Institute and Washington and Lee, for the next week, had to be cancelled owing to the prevalence of typhoid fever at those institutions, but a game with Washington College was substituted. Our team was somewhat crippl ed from the game of the previous Saturday, but we succeeded in running up the large score of 40-0 on the visitors. Our opponents, however, played a clean, plucky game and were especially strong on offensive work. Next came the contest of the season, the game with Western Maryland, which was to decide the Inter-Collegiate Championship of Maryland. After a week of hard practice on Friday, November 20, our team left for Westminster, in order that they might have a good night's rest before the game. The following day dawned bright and clear, and everything seemed favorable to an exciting contest. At 2o'clock, amid cheers from their f~Jlowers, the Western Maryland team arrived on the field , and a few moments later a shout went up from the Orange and Black as our own gallant eleven came into view. After a short practice, th e teams lined up and the fray began. Green opened the game by kicking off to Western Maryland's thirty-yard lin e. Here St. Joan's regained the 132 133 �Second Team T. B.

For the past ten years, although enthusiasm in football had been up to the highest pitch, but little interest had been manifested in baseball, and as a result, partly through this indifference and partly through the lack of good material, St. John's had been poorly represented in this branch of sport. Last year, however, with the election of Captain Mudd, interest in baseball began to revive. The players realized that they had a competent leader, and inspired by this confidence they went to work with a will. Early in March, when it was still too cold to go out on the field, they practiced in the armory and in the gymnasium, pitching and catching and getting their muscles in condition for playing when the weather grew warmer. When at last they were able to get out on the diamond, it needed no expert to see that St. John's was to have a better team than she had known for a long time. Then, too, the students began to be seen on the side lines every afternoon, cheering the players on and giving them the encouragement which every team must have to be successful. These circumstances combined had good effect, for when the season was over, although she had lost many games, St. John's had also won several well-earned victories. This year bids fair to be more successful. The men are working hard, and though handicapped by the illness of our veteran pitcher, Stick, will doubtless give a good account of themselves when the time comes. 139 138 �Season of 1903 I ' After the usual preliminary practice which always marks the beginning of a baseball season, we met the strong Gettysburg team on our home grounds for the first game. A heavy rain had fallen the night before, and the condition of the field was such that good playing was impossible. Our men went into the game with excellent spirit, but we lost on account of the costly errors made by the infielders. The final score was 13- 7 in favor of Gettysburg. Although defeated in our first game, we were not discouraged. We still believed that St. John's had a winning team, and everyone waited eagerly for the coming Saturday, when we were to cross bats with Maryland Agricultural College. This game, like the one with Gettysburg, was played on a wet field . Our men showed great improvement, especially in batting. In the third inning, Tarbert and Halbert each knocked a home run, and Wilmer got a three-bagger. Score, St. John's, 9; M. A. C., 8. Instead of disbanding and going home for the Easter holidays, our team took a trip in the South for a week. They left Annapolis, Monday, April 6, spent the night in Roanoke, and took the early train Tuesday morning for Radford. A game with St. Albans was played that afternoon, in a drizzling rain. The grounds were muddy and slippery, and the playing was ve ry loose on the part of both teams. Errors were the chief features of the game. Score, 12- 8, favor of St. Albans. Immediately after the game with St. Albans, our team took the train for Christiansburg, where they passed the night. The journey of ten miles from Christiansburg to Blacksburg next day was of a very exciting character. Since th ere was no railroad between these places, the trip over the mountains had to be made in tall yhos. It was raining hard, and the roads were in such a condition that several times the boys were compelled to lift the wagons out of deep mud-holes, or they would probably have been sticking there yet. A game with Virginia Poly technic Institute was played in th e afternoon, and, as usual, on a very muddy field . Unfortunately Captain Mudd got hurt early in the game and was forced to retire. This, together with a long string of errors, enabled V. P. I. to win by a score of 13- 6. About dusk we left Blacksburg, travelled over ·the same muddy road (walking most of the way), and arrived at Christiansburg in time to catch the midnight train. Arrived at Salem abo ut 1.30, a. m., and spent the remainder of the night there. In the morning we had a short practice, and in the afternoon played a game with Roanoke College. Here again we lost on account of errors, th e score being 12- 7 in favor of Roanoke. Our team left Salem the same evening and arrived at Buena Vista about midnight. Took the train for Lexington next morning, where we played Washington and Lee University. The field was in good condition and everything seemed favorable for a good game. This was the first game of the series, in which our boys did themselves justice. Everyone played well. Stick was at his best, and not until the last inning did our opponents score. The final score was 5-3, favor of St. John's. During our stay at Lexington we were entertained by Virginia Military Institute, and were most hospitably treated. On Saturday afternoon we played a very interesting game with them . Stick was unable to pitch, but Wrightson fill ed the position well. Our boys played a good game, but could do nothing with the fine curves of Carneal, the V. M. I. pitcher, and we lost by a score 5- 0. This ended the series of southem games, and, although we lost most of them, our team was greatly benefitted and played very creditable ball during the remainder of the season. I Hl 140 �On the foll owing Saturday St. John 's met another defeat at th e band s of Columbian University ·at Washington. TJ1e first part of th e game was plainly ours, the last part theirs, and the final score was 8- 6 in their favo r. Halbert's home run was the chief feature. In our second game with Gettysburg, Stick was far below his standard and was batted freely. The absence of Duvall at short necessitated a change whi ch did not work well and the resul t was a score of 12- 3, in Gettysburg's favor. Next came th e game with th e Navy. This was without doubt th e best gam e that our team played last season. Stick pitched excellent ball and kept th e hits well scattered. The chief feature was a throw by Devries from deep center, catching a man at third base. Score, 3- 2, in favor of St. J ohn 's. Anoth er exciting and well-played game was th e on e with Mt. St. Mary's Coll ege at Emmitsburg, on th e following Saturday. Th e game was a tie up to the ninth inning, but our opponents fin ally won out by a score of 3- 2. Our next game was with Western Maryland . This contest was especially interesting, because of the great rivalry between th e two institutions. Stick pitched a fin e game, and was well supported by th e rest of the team. Captain Mudd 's work at the bat was excellent. Out of five times up he mad e one three-bagger, two two-baggers and two singles. The gam e ended 7-2, in favor of St. John 's. The last game of the season was played with Gallaudet College on our home grounds. This game was an exhibition of errors. In the beginning Stick pitched steady ball, but after a few innings he began to weaken and our opponents, by bunching their hits, scored several runs. Wrightson went in th e box at the beginning of the seventh inning and did not allow the visi tors a single bit during the rest of th e game.

Until last year the track was fn a very bad condition; hardly fit to run on . Then, too, for some unknown reason, the fellows took but little interest in this branch of athletics. last spring the athletic field "'·as graded, a new track was made, and interest began to revive. Quite a number of candidates came out, and under the leadership of Captain Tarbert, worked hard. The result was that St. John's had a very creditable track team. At the University of Pennsylvania races last April our relay team composed of Cronin, Hodges, Gore and Tarbert ran against Gallaudet, New York Law School, and ·t University of Western Pennsylvania, and won third place. Winning time, 3.38. On May 23 we sent our team to the Western Maryland meet at Westminster. In the relay race, Gore ran first, Sinclair second, Ruhl third, and Hodges fou rth. Hodges finished first, winning the banner for St. John's. Each of the runners was presented with a gold medal. Walton ran in the 440-yard dash, but was fouled on the first lap and finished fifth . In the mile run, Cronin won third place. · This year there are a number of new men out, and if the proper encouragement and support is given them tl:ere is no reason why St. John's should not have a··good Track · Team. Tennis • Tennis ?a_d been on_ declin~ at St. John's since the dissolution of Inter-collegiate the Leag~e, until It was revtved from Its l~thargic condition last year by the formation of a Tenm~ ~lub.

In fact the pnzes awarded to the winners of both singles and doubles for the past_ two years have been S. J. C. Monograms.

Wending our way clown to the first floor we enter the Latin room where Tommy stands ready to receive our wonderful rendition of Lucretius. In one hand he holds the little red book which we love (?) so well, and in the other, an automatic pencil for making Zips. Three quarters of an hour affords ample time for us to impart to him our store of knowledge and then follows a discussion as to whether man will eventually freeze or starve to death. This question does not concern us very deeply for our names will no doubt adorn some cemetery before either event takes place, and besides there is little choice between these two modes of der:arture. So when we have received our allotment of seventy-five lines for next time, together with the reminder that it is a very short Jesson, and the advice to beware of all quadrupeds in connection with Latin, we pass out of the room . Next we go to English, and spend an exciting hour in tracing the language from its cradle up to the present stage. To make it more exciting we read choice bits of Anglo-Saxon verse with e's thrown in where they do the most harm, and then give vent to our feelings by declining oxa. Finally when our nerves are about to give way under the terrible strain, with climbe, clombe, clumben ringing in our ears we seek the Math. room. 11ISC£hbt\NEOUS ./1 Day of College Life Within those wars we wrestle with cosines, tangents and other mysteries that Wentworth and his contemporaries have devised for the torture of succeeding generations. By and by the bell sounds again and we go to dinner. I can't get 'em up, I can't get 'em up, I can't get 'em up in the morning-the first notes of reveille break in upon my peaceful slumbers. I wake with a start. It can't be seven o'clock yet; why it seems as though I had just gone to sleep. Seizing my watch, which is lying on the table near me, I look at the hands; they point to seven. Phew, how cold it is! I will not report for roll-call this morning; that will mean five demerits. But I am within ten of the limit. I must report. With one long sigh, I leave my warm bed, plunge into my uniform, take a hasty splash in the wash-bowl, and in thre~ leaps reach the first floor. Assembly sounds, we fall in and another day of college hfe has begun. · Breakfast being first in order, we march over to the dining hall to satisfy our keen appetites which, by the way, would do credit to a Canadian wolf. Twenty minutes are spent in a vain effort to masticate fragments of an ancient ox, after which we perambulate down to Woodward Hall where Turkey explains to us the reasons why an apple falls to the ground instead of rising to the sky, or why a truck horse is of more value than a pony though he never quite convinces us of the latter fact. Presently the hour is up and the reverberating tones of the old bell call us to Chapel. A solo by Mallory Burroughs, accompanied by Draper, puts to flight whatever reverential spirit we may have been possessed and as a consequence Tommy "soaks" us twentyfive demerits for unbecoming levity in Chapel. This is followed by deep groans, whereupon he reports the Sophomore Class for disorder and bestows upon each member ten additional demerits. Finally quiet is restored and the service proceeds. Then, after hearing the adjutant read the doom of some misguided youth who has wandered from the straight and narrow path, we are permitted to depart in peace. ~I After dinner those who have tobacco usually go to their rooms for a quiet smoke, while those who have not, start out to "bum" it. Pleasant moments pass quickly and before we realize it, two o'clock has come and the bugle calls us to drill. Then for an hour we march around the back campus to the tune of While Old Glory Waves; bearing with meekness all reproaches from the officers who never make mistakes, and listening with eager ears for re-call. With drill, ends our work for the day and we are at liberty until six o'clock. Some don their football clothes and go out on the gridiron to prepare for a contest with an old rival. A few of the more studious ones begin to bone lessons for the morrow while others lose themselves in the latest popular novel. At six o'clock we assemble once more to sniff the odors of some new dish that the skillful hand of Braxton, the cook, has prepared. A walk down town or a game of marbles occupies the time from supper untill1a1f past seven, and then begins our struggle to Master the Math., Greek, and Chemistry that the Profs in their wisdom have heaped upon us for the coming day. How we wish we could be Profs, for a week and assign lessons to those who pile them on us. But there is no time for reflection. Just as we are in the midst of the Iliad, taps sound, the lights go out, and another day of college life is ended. Ascending to the third floor of McDowell we find ourselves in the J:Ustory ~oom. Here we discuss Cromwell's character, Luther's religion, and Henry's wives until the merry tinkle of a little bell on the wall reminds us that we must tear ourselves away from these delightful topics. I 158 11 15!1 �The Tolchester Encampment After a few hours, we came in sight of Tolcbester, and all crowded to the bow to get a glimpse of the place whi ch for two weeks was to be our home. As we approached the wharf, we got our first view of the p1ace. Situated on a high bluff was a typical summer resort, and to th e left of it, in a large fi eld, were long rows of brown t ents which had been set up by the advance guard. Upon reaching the wharf, the battalion was formed and marched up to the camp. All the excursionists had returned to Baltimore, the Beach was deserted, and in the growing darkness the camp appeared extremely unin viting. After we bad been assigned to our respective tents, the Quartermaster gave each man a long sack, and instructed him to fill it with straw from a nearb y shed. These sacks, with about enough hay to whet the appetite of a healthy mule, were to constitute our beds for the coming fortnight. It was a strange sight, to see a long line of fellows coming from the hay rick, each dragging his bed behind him . The appearance was similar to that of a "cullud gentleman" returning after a particularly lucrative session with the hen coops. The lazy members of the battalion were very much in evidence, for many a weary youth returning to his tent found an empty sack instead of the well filled one which he had left there. At half past ten, the efforts of the boys to adapt themselves to their beds began. The oldest campaigner would find it somewhat difficult to keep his head and feet on a sack five feet long, so picture the dismay of one hundred and fifty youths when this problem confronted them. But as "needs must when the devil drives," th e problem was at last solved by applying the principle of a jack knife. On the first of June, in the year 1903, the college battalion, one hundred and fifty strong, swung down Prince George Street to the inspiring tu~e.of "Blaze Away," rendered b y Limburger's band in their own inimitable st yle. Amvmg at the w~~rf, the ~om­ panies were dismissed, and the fellows, assuming the most comfortable pos~twns poss1ble, sat down to wait for the boat which was to take us over to Tolchester. Wh1le we sat there and inhaled the delicious breeze that blew in from the Chesapeake, we realized for the first time that examin ations were really over and we were starting on our annual encampment. As the proud steamer Louise came in, shivers of apprehension shoo~ those who nev~r before had dared the "raging main." They might have been spared the1r fear, for the tnp across the bay was a delightful one. The pleasure of the trip was much. enhanced by the presence of several ladies on board, and soon after leaving the dock an mformal hop was started on the lower deck. At this hop Bonney, Valk and Cutler distinguished themselves It seemed that our tired heads had hardly touched the bed before the blare of the bugle was heard calling us out. It was not necessary to dress for roll call, so some of the costumes were extremely primitive. After roll-call, every one went over to the nearby pump for a morning splash, except the lucky chap who could bribe his comrade to bring back a basin of water when he returned from his bath. Then breakfast, and the cleaning, rolling up, and inspection of tents; hospital call, and shortly afterward guard mount, when the old guards were relieved and th e new ones posted. At half past ten, company drill took place and then followed an intermission till dinner. After dinner, battalion drill was indulged in until everybody was heartily sick of camp life, but it is remarkable bow quickly our spirits rose when we were dismissed and the gentle toot of the toy railroad announced that amusement was to be had- for the price. Dress Parade at 6.30, and supper immediately afterward ended the day, and, when taps so unded at half past ten, it was a pretty tired lot that tumbled into bed to spend the night in peaceful snoring. So much for the work in camp. There was pleasure too-ab! such pleasure. How often we strolled through the grounds of Tolchester, attracted hither and thither by the harmonious screeching of various steam pianos, calliopes, or brass bands. Some, yielding to the charms of Terpsichore, entered the dancing hall, and, accosting some fair maiden, by their gallantry. 160 161 �were soon waltzing around the room, struggling heroically to master the Boston Dip. 0, that dance hall' In it was spent almost a!l the time at our disposal, and few were the girls who were able to resist the blandishments of the St. John's Cadets. Then there was the merry-go-round, where we spent hours in a fruitless effort to capture the brass ring which entitled the happy possessor to a free ride. Nor should we forget Pike's Peak, where it is the custom for the girls to scream as they go through the tunnel, emerging from it flushed , with a painfully unconcerned youth beside them. ···-........." . . ' ·. \_ . ' ; ./ /. Many amusing incidents occurred while we were in camp. One night the corporal of the guard was called forth by a sentry. Arriving on the scene, he found this valiant soldier peering around a tent, and inquired what the trouble was. "I thought I heard a flap flop," replied the sentry, whereupon he received a gentle reminder not to call out the corporal again unless there was sufficient reason for it, and that ruffled officer retired to the guard tent. The unfortunate sentry had little peace from that time on, for the fellows were continually asking him if he had heard any more flap flops. While the battalion was in camp, a great rivalry sp rang up between Companies A and B. Every day the members of the two companies would stand in their respective streets and "kid" each other about their various faults and short-comings. This rivalry had a good effect, for each company strived to outdo the other in keeping their street clean and their tents in order, and, whenever one of A's men was reprimanded for not keeping his tent neat, Company B would go into spasms of joy. One morning we were all aroused by the cry, "Look at Sherwood," and hastening from our tents, we beheld that illustrious youth clad in a most amazing sweater and resembling nothing so much as a big brown bear. Perceiving nothing extraordinary about this, we inquired what the row was and the originator of the excitement gasped, amid shrieks of laughter, "Doesn't he look like a booby owl?" The name clung to him and since then Sherwood has rejoiced in the pseudonym of "Booby." One night a sentry challenged three men who were approaching the lines, and demanded to know who went there. To his amazement and vexation the replies came back one by one, "Pike's Peak man," "Three balls for five cent man," "Hula Zula man." Thinking he was the victim of a practical joke, he called the corporal of the guard, who found that the men were the proprietors of the amusement places which they had named. Tolchester, June 1, 1903. What with swimming, drilling, and sleeping the days passed by until the last Saturday, when we were to have a sham battle. "I want to be a military man." 0 for the pleasure of carrying a ten-pound gun around a field on a hot June day, running, charging, and blazing away at the elusive enemy. Nay, nay, I would prefer to sit in the shade and watch it. On Sunday we had a joyous loaf, with no drills to interrupt. All the "Pucks," "Judges," "Black Cats," and "Tip Top Weeklies" were brought out and the fellows settled themselves to spend a pleasant afternoon. After a while they began to grow drowsy, and, one by one, fell into the arms of Morpheus. During this period of somnolence, 1() 2 163 �some mischievous fellow with a bountiful supply of burnt cork, made a tour of the camp, decorating the face of every unfortunate that he found asleep. So great were the changes he wrought, that many a cadet, waking from his peaceful slumbers, failed to recognize himself until much soap and water had been used. On Monday morning, we broke camp, and that night we were back again within the walls of old Pinkn ey. The whole encampment was very pleasant and instructive. There \vas not a single case of sickness to mar the pl easure, and th e cadets obtained much useful knowledge of camp life. Th e faculty has accepted the invitation of the Tolchester Company to return this year. 16:) Hi I. �Reminiscences Next we come to a number of gridiron heroes: "Schoff, " end and captain in .

As one wanders through the Halls, passing from room to mom, he sees on every hand pencil-marked walls, scratched panes and carved desks that recall to his mind many of the famous classes and more or Jess prominent characters of St. John's in former days. The desks in th e Math and Greek rooms being the oldest are naturally the most highly decor~ted. On nearly every one of them may be seen the three initials of some hero, follo wed by two numerals representing the year in which h~ hoped to receive the coveted sheepskin from his honored College. Many of the carvers of these initials have left college long enough to achieve success in the different walks of life and their Alma Mater is proud to claim them as her sons. Some of the initials have been cut away, while others stand out in bold relief. They seem to say to the student of today "This spot is sacred," and he leaves it untouched. 0. I. Y. Osborne I.

His ancestors had come over in the wake of the Mayflower; he felt their aristocratic blood in his veins, and though a little fish, yet, being a Bostonian, he talked like a whale.

He looked with satisfaction upon that bay of which the Atlantic is but an adjacent puddle, and upon the cape, which, like an arm of the continent, reaches out to embrace the sea; for, thought he,"these bear the name of my distinguished family. Surely there is significance in my heredity and environment. Surely evolution gives me promise of a noble destiny." So saying, he turned his attention to a dainty breakfast that came before him as if by Parisian magic, for even sons of the blue-stockings sometimes condescend to the gross animal custom of taking nourishment. Suddenly, to his speechless amazement, he found himself dangling from the end of a string and rising to face a sunburnt fisherman in his boat. Once aboard, he was thrown with a goodly company of his old friends and relations who also had recently breakfasted. Although his pride was not insensible to the honor of being thus much sought after, yet that morning's breakfast was but the beginning of hardships, of cruel indignity at the hands of barbarians, of life in cramped quarters with miserable accommodations, of weary journeys into strange lands, far, far from home. WILSON. JUNIOR CLASS. SMITH. HOPKINS. OLD LADY· COUNTRY. RousE. MADAM BOND'S. Passing over, in pity, the shocking details of his treatment for many months, let it suffice to say that at length he found himself rolled together and tied up in a snug but rather uncomfortable package on the shelf of an Annapolis grocery store. There he sat, year after year, looking out from under his burden of dust, and regarding with melancholy interest the colonial life about him. In the course of his half-century of observation he saw at least a half-dozen new buildings erected in the picturesque city of Anne Arundel, saw one local spin ster get married, saw a St. John's student who never frenched, nor skipped, nor gouged, nor got a zip, saw Rasin make the rise in all his classes, saw Duvall survive his period of probation, and Smith get off the Black- List. It chanced one evening recently that Mr. Grant, our m-atron, stood upon the west porch of the Dining-Hall, solitary and absorbed in thought. Then raising his head and . fixing one eye on College Creek and the other on the moon, he thus soliloquized :-"My 171 170 �kingdom for a fresh and appetizing dish to set before the boys for their breakfast tomorrow." Then he added in an undertone,"Bye the bye, my fortunes here may depend much on the table I set. They say the road to the hearts of men is by way of their digestive organs. Having a college professorship in view, I must win the hearts of these men. That is good logic!" His mind was made up in a moment. Off he strode to the aforesaid grocery store, and down came the dusty little package from the shelf. Extract from a Speech of M. L. B. The next day,-well,-behold here the wonderful evolution of the codfish-ball! And behold the educational mission of a proud little fish, fresh from Boston waters. An Awful Tragecf,y 'Twas midnight's mystic hour. The clouds which all day had been d riven athwart the heavens by a fierce wind now hung like a pall over the earth, shutting out every ray of light from the moon or stars. Silence reigned in the halls; a great, profound silence, broken only by the drip, drip, drip of the water as it fell from the eaves. Spirits, ghosts, and other spectral shapes chased one another up and down the room. Their clammy hands seemed to grasp at the bedclothes. Was I dreaming? Suddenly out of the sombre stillness came a groan. The spirits fled and hid in th-e nooks and crannies of the room. Again all was silent. I stared into the darkness for a minute, and then out upon the midnight air broke that hideous noise, more horrible than before. Cold chills crept down my back. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN:- The multifariousness of the concatenation of illicitous procedendos, conglomerated, has conglutinated the differentiated synallagmatics. However, our primogenitureship forisfamiliates from the homogeneousness of our geneagenesis the contraremonstrant against ultramontanism. But the homologoumena genethlialogizes propunciamientos epigrammaticall y characteristic of acromonogrammaticism. Blandiloquious are the verbatizations consociated to the naturalizations of homoemerical be. ngs having a possessionary vernacularization in an extraneous rurality. A hierosoi lymitan must subhumerate rurality. A transubstantiationalistic imaginationalisms of his subtercolumniated circumstantiality. Tachydidaxy anaglyptographies in such a sesquipedalian methodologicalism that the extensometer of expansibleness discovered an inter-cavernousness which terminologically resilenced the undertakings of those experimentarian philosophizers. The obstreperousness accompanable to such anthropomorphologicisms intimidates the auditorial personages, and revivicates a reminiscentiality of Ald~boro~tiphoscophomio in the tragicomipastoral travesty of Chrononhotonthologos. (At th1s pomt, the stenographer fainted so we are unable to give the rest of this great speech.) I felt like one paralyzed. What was happening? Was another tragedy being added to t)le long list which blots so many pages of the world 's history? But hark! Again that awful groan broke out,and grew fainter and fainter until it died away in a last, low gurgle in the throat. Unable to endure the strain longer, I leaped from my bed and seized a chair with which to dash out the brains of this human monster. Madly I turned on the light and,with my chair upraised, I started across the room, just as my room-mate, his face drawn into a terrible grimace, sent forth another of those terrific snores which made the night a horror. 172 173 �A Tale of Hollow:e'en "The rest of you fellows come with me; I know a place where there used to be A pile of boxes; we will see What they can do to aiel us. They're filled with straw and not very light, But we don't care, we're men of might, And we're going to have a fire tonight, As sure as Heaven made us." A band of Sophs went forth one night, And thought by stealth to escape the sight Of a watchful prof, who, just for spite, Liked to catch a midnight rover. 'Twas Hallow-e'en, and their minds were bent On a big bonfire, so, with looks intent, One by one from the hall they went To a secret place of cover. Away they started with a will. They searched the shed from roof to sill Nor did they leave the pl ace until ' The last barrel they were taking. Grabbing th eir burdens, away they go, A long procession, all in a row· Each with some fuel to besto~v On the fire they would soon be making. The night was still, and overhead, A few faint rays of the moon were shed On the scene below, while snug in bed The prof was soundly sleeping. . His soul was free from worldly stnfe, His sleep befitted a scholar's life, . With Greek and Math his thoughts were nfe, Late hours he'd been keeping. The leader arrived with his load of trash Boxes and paper, an old window sash . ' He threw them down on th e ground with a crash While words of praise were spoken. ' "Pile up the barrels," he quickly said; "The boxes next, and th en the bed, And give me a match that' s got a head, For this darn thing is broken." The leader said with confident air: "We've fooled him, boys, this time for fair; He'll run his fingers through his hair When he finds that we have beat him . He thinks he's smart, but I guess he'll see That some other folks are smart as he, When he discovers this night's spr13e, And the boys with laughter greet him." A few vain trials and they got a light, And soon the fire was burning bright, The blaze shon e out upon the night, Such a bonfire never was seen. The leader then said, "Boys, draw near; Now altogether, we'll give one cheer For the grand old class we love so dear ' And one for Hallow-e'en." "Now Tom and Harry and Jack and Ned, You go round to the kitchen shed, There are lots of barrels and an old straw · bed, In the Northwest corner lying; Bring them out here right quick, and lookBe careful not to wake the cook; Better fasten the door with the big iron hook, In case he should come spying. 174 12 17;"\ �They gave their cheers and into the night They vanished with a rap:d flight; For they saw approaching, by the waning Ji~L t A prof. who was out to catch them. He moved along with a rapid stride, To bag them on the other side Of the football field, where he thought they'd hide When they knew he could not watch them. His search was fruitl ess; they ran around The other side of the college ground, And without making the slightest sound, They slowly approached the halls. Now to leave a building is easy enough, In spite of an ever watchful prof., But you'll always find it rather tough Getting back within those walls. Our Sophs, however, were men of brain, The profs. had chased them again and again, And they' d figured out with the greates.t pains, A plan for entering their room . A ladder reached to the second floor, They' d used it many a time before, And a window served as well as a door, When veiled by the midnight gloom. Th ey climbed the ladder with little noise, And entered the window like college boys; And then began to express th eir joys, At having escaped their pursuer. "'Twas great," they whispered, "this midnight prank; H e thought he could catch us, the silly old crank, Guess he's still prowling around that bank; Well, he wont find us, sure." 176 While thus they were talking the matter o'er There came a peremptory knock at the doo/ ;'hey knew who it was, for they'd heard it b~fore, T':as th e prof. they had been discussing. Qwckly they sought a place to hide To get in th e clothes-press most of 'them tried But there was only room for three inside ' So the others were left out fussing. ' "Open up," a voice from the hallway s.aid · "Who's out," called Tom from his crowded bed· "A pro fessor, don ' t move as though you were dead ' But open this door right quick." ' After endless trouble Tom found th e latch The door swung open and, with a scratch, ' The professor, entering, struck a match, And gave a shoe a kick. The shoe from under the bed stuck out There were numerous other shoes round about And that they contained feet was beyond a cloubt For they disappeared, though slowly. ' " Who's in this room besides you two ?"

Outside a fearful storm is raging. The rain drops patter incessantly on the roof, and th e North east wind howls dismally around tl:e con:er. Ever and anon a fitful puff rushes angril y again st my window, rattles th e sash violently, and finally dies away in a mournful wail. Within all is cheerful. Th e steam sings merrily through the radiator, and the genial warmth is made more pleasant by the raging storm outside. I draw my chair up near the table, fill my pipe with Maryland Club, and prepare to enjoy a quiet smoke. My pipe smokes exceptionally well tonight, and soon the blue wreaths begin to ascend to the ceiling, and I begin to dream . ' . ~ . ,· , ·~ ... . •..... ;,.~r.· -;•{-;:_ . '.' \)v · ··~Y \l I) / ' ,. •, 'X·} My thoughts go back to an old moss-covered mansion in Southern Maryland, wh ere I spent my boyhood days. I see its broad chimneys, its sloping roof, and its wide, open fireplace around which the family would gather on a cold winter night, while we childrm roasted potatoes in the ashes. And wh en our feast was over, wh en the last story had been told and the emb ers wer e slowly dying, I climbed the stairs to my bed under the eaves, and the moaning wind lull ed me to sleep. I see th e old plantation in summer; th e fi elds of grain waving in th e gentl e breeze, the green orchards sprinkled o' er with pink and white blosso ms, and I !:ear th e liquid notes of the mocking bird as he sang so sweetly in his leafy bower. Th e long lan e through which I drove the cows hom e in the t wilight of a summer evenir g stretcl: es before me, and I seem to inhale the delightful odors of the hon eysuckle th at gr ew on eitl: er sid e. I see the cabin of "Old Cap'n Joe," standin g alone near tl:e river, and nearby a pile of nets, wh ere I would sit for hours and listen to his tales of storms and shipwrecks. All these things come back to me and I live over those happy days again - days w[jch co me but once in our lives. Th en I find myself once more in th e country school house, wh ere in spired by tr.e desire to go to college, and th e master's rod, I began my fir st struggles with grammar and arithmetic. Gradually the scene changes, and my early college days come back . to me; clays when th e word Sophomore struck terror to my soul, and when, fir ed by tl: e ambition to shine among the constell ation of great athletes, I ventur ed forth to try my skill on th e football field. I recall th e cl ay of th e big game, when, after weeks of training and har\1 practice, I was given a place on th e team, and I hear the lusty cheers 180 18 1 '• , . .

I see that same face in the ball-room on the night of the Farewell Ball. I hear the sweet notes of "Auf Wiedersehen," and live through the raptures of that last waltz-but hark! the shriek of the Northeast wind breaks in upon my peaceful dreams. I awake to find my lamp growin g dim, my pipe out, and the room very cold. The storm still rages outside; the rattling of the window puts my dreams to flight, and my revery is ended.

I have been lost, borrowed, traded and swiped until I did not f no~ who was I~y nghtful owner. I have lain under the bureau amid spiders and dust or "_eeks at a time. I have been dropped on the floor scores of times often bare] ~scapmg the slop-bucket; and one night I was even thrown at a Tom-cat th;t wa d. t : mg my master's slumb ers. ' s Is ur - - During the clay I lie on _the shelf or table, or in a chair, but at night my work be ins an~ I am often kept out until twelve o'clock. My life is somewhat rugged but I lik; th' ~:~,Ist.ement and never have I wished myself back in the big store where I sp~nt my earlies~ I am only a plain, ordinary little twenty-five cent pony. When or how I came into this world of boys and books, I have not the faintest idea. The earliest recollection I have of my existence goes back to the days when I stood on a high shelf with many other of my quadruped friends, in a New York bookstore. It was a big place with many long shelves, and over the doors was spelled in broad letters, Hinds & Noble. I did not like my home; it was too crowded. I longed to get out into the world to see the sights, and to do the work which I felt sure awaited me. So I was very glad when, one day, a clerk took me down from the shelf, wrapped me up in paper, and tossed me in a bag with lots of other ponies who were going out to see this great world . The next time I saw daylight was when a fellow in a gray uniform to whom I had been given by the postman, tore off the paper, looked me over carefully and tossed me on the table. There were many other books on this table, but they were all strangers to me and I felt rather lonely. Some of them were very shabby and I shuddered at the thought that perhaps some day I would lose my beautiful color and be like them. th I hh~ve been at St. John's now three years and have lost much of my former beauty ti ou; h am by n_o means worn out. My master left college last spring and since tha~ me ave been m a low' dusty room that they call "Doc's Office " I t· f that I will end m d h b . · some Imes ear Y ays ere, ut chensh the hope that some young fellow will fi d n me and restore me to my former life. I am, Faithfully yours, A. PONYE. By and by another fellow came in the room and quickly espied me on the table. He picked me up, turned my pages over carefully and, after comparing me to another book, he said I was a fine pony. It pleased me very much to find that I was making such a good impression, and when I was returned to the table I felt almost as important as the big dictionary that towered up above me. I soon became very popular with the boys and found many warm friends among them, but the Profs seemed to dislike me from the first and I have never been able to gain their friendship. They say all manner of terrible things about me; one of them even told my master that he had better throw me away, for I was worse than useless. His advice, however, was not heeded or I had never lived to tell my story. They say I caused my master to flunk. I never knew what that meant, but it must have been something extremely bad, for he was very serious next day and did .not look at me for more than a month. After a time his heart softened and he began to use me again, but I never seemed to stand as high in his affections as before. 184 lk5 �On Dit Que Mooney is looking for a new French oil.

"It must be fine to room with a fellow who is agreeable to you." Jarvis was beginning to notice Miss Ferguson's eyes. They were deep blue, and they had a most fascinating sparkle. However, he set out to do his duty. "It isn't my fault that Jack and I get along well together. You see, he is a very popular chap and I'd be afraid to fall out with him." "I imagine." "Yes. But he furnishes most of the congeniality at our house." "Ah, mod(;lsty !" "What's the matter, Jack? Disappointed in love? That letter must have come from an indigo factory." . . " , h b Jack Abernathy said nothing, so Jarvis contmued: If I d k~ow ?who as een making trouble for my room-mate I'd raise a disturbance. What can It be . The old boy is up in his class, has good health, and is doing well generally, so far as I ca~ s~,e. It must belove. By jove, it's love, I'll bet a dollar! Come, Jack, tell us about It. "Go to the devil," politely remarked Jack; and he started to read the_letter a sec~nd time. Jarvis, apparently much hurt, puffed stolidly on his bull-dog pipe, remarkmg between puffs what an utter idiot he had for a room-mate. How soft he was. How oh, rats! And Jarvis hastily prepared for bed. After reading the letter over a half-dozen times, Jack swore extrava?antly and lighted a cigarette to think th_e m~tter over. Finally he thre·w a shoe at Jarvis, who was snoozing placidly, and bade him listen. . . . . k "Jarvis I've got a hard-luck story to tPll you. There IS a little girl up m Hosac who has padsed the competitive examination for the name of Mrs. Abernathy. We grew up together and I always thought seriously of her as my own, but I learn tha~ a yo~ng genius by the name of Rampart is making himself busy around he_r home, and th~s evenmg I got a cold-storage letter from her. Now, what I want yo~ to do IS to go home with ~e f~r Easter and tell her some continued stories with Jack as hero . Understan~? I t~mk It will be 0. K. when I get there, but I need a good liar to add color to the thmg. Will you do it?" · . "Ugh," responded Jarvis, with his head_ b~,ried in the pillow. "Wake up, old chap. Won't you do It? "Go to bed, Jack. ·' Don't bother me." . , . ?" "But "OU beastly smug-faced deacon, can't you tell me If you II do It· 'J "What- is it? I'll-do it. Go to bed" . And Jarvis began snoring most reprehensibly. . When Easter came, ~ ack held Jarvis to his promise, although t?at most estunable , a young gentleman denied all recollection of having made such_ a promise. The first night in Hosack, our two collegians callEd on Miss Ferguson. It "as no~ hard matter for Jarvis to engage the young lady's attention, and, very naturally, ~ e conversation turned on Jack, who was then telling Mrs. F_erguson sundry Y_arns concernmg his college life and the positions that had been offered hun upon g:aduatron. , "I suppose you know my room-mate pretty well, don't you, Miss Ferguson? "Oh, yes. We grew up together." "Pretty nice sort of a chap." "Indeed?" 188 "No. It is a common saying that anyone who can't get along with Jack Abernathy needs liver medicine." Miss Ferguson began to notice Jarvis' persistency, and to suspect that a game was being played at her expense. "I suppose Jack is very religious?" She knew full well that he was not. "Oh, yes. Served one term as president of the Y. M. C. A." "Does he take part in athletics?" "Does he! Why, he's our all around-athl ete;" and he went on to tell how Jack had won the big game of footb all the year before. "Why, Mr. Jarvis! The papers said you did that." "Of course they did. His parents objected to his playing, so he used my name." "I don't understand." "They often do that. name." The captain of the team one year played under an assumed "I mean I don't understand why he should do it," and there was a twinkle in her eyes as she said: "Mr. Abernathy always wished that Jack would take part in athletics." Jarvis was trapped, but he would not desert his guns. No, indeed! "Then he had his wish. I never asked Jack why he wanted to use my name, but I supposed that was the reason." Jarvis was being led gently along, but he suspected nothing. There was a very demure expression on Miss Ferguson's face when she asked: "Is Jack very popular in social circles?" "Now," thought Jarvis, "I become artistic. Now comes the peroration of this argument." He said, "Jack's popular- ! might say confidentially that he's too popular to suit me; but he doesn't seem to care very much. I'll tell you what I think. I believe he is too fond of some girl that doesn't Jive near the college. I don't know who she is and he never told me anything, but a fellow is entitled to an opinion." She seemed to ponder on this bit of information, and soon it was time for our knights to leave. "Well, how did you succeed?" "Oh, about right." "Did she believe all you told her?" "Such were the indications." The fact of the matter was that the lady in question had woven the beginning of a very strong web around Jarvis, and he was not inclined to gossip. He wanted to think it over. "Tell us about it." 189 �"Well, you're an athlete who has been playing under th e name of J arvis. You'll have to manufacture a reason for assuming a name, for I told her I didn't know. You have been president of the Y. M. C. A., you are very popul ar at college, and there are a dozen or so girls crazy over you." Jack executed a war-dance, and from his ejacul ations it was gathered that he was satisfied with the course Jarvis had pursued. "I might say in passing that you are in love with a mighty attractive little girl." "You bet! But I don't allow poaching. Remember that trespass is strictly prohibited ." "Oh, yes, yes. I haven't put on the finishing touches yet, but after next time I think my work will be over." The next time they called, Miss Ferguson's friend, Miss Dunbar, was visiting her . They had a very pleasant evening, but somehow Jarvis and Miss Ferguson happened to talk with each other quite a littl e. J ack, however, was not uneasy, for he had faith in his room-mate's intentions. He understood that Jarvis had been polishing his lies and adding grace and effect to th e whole story. But when Jarvis bounced into bed that night it was with a mindless clear and free from care. He thought hard, and his thoughts ran something like this: "Jarvis, my poor boy, you are getting in trouble. You're getting entirely too friendly with that littl e girl, and the first thing you kno w your pegs will fall from under you. Confound it! If she wouldn't be Jack's girl you could love her with a clear conscience. But, oh, you howling idiot! What did you get in this mess for? Co uldn't yo u find trouble enough at college,' but you must come up here after it? Now see where you are. You may as well admit to yourself that you love that young goddess. But you unutterable wretch, you can't treat Jack that way. If the girl would have any sense, she'd give you an adult's dose of discouragement, but a girl is not supposed to have sense and you don 't want to be discouraged. If yo u were a boy of mine, I'd tie you up somewhere. Now you keep out of J ack's affairs!" Thus he scolded himself and thu s he determined 'to do the honorable thing. The matter was pretty serious, but after much self-abasement, he began to see it in a different light. He laughed aloud . "You indescribable dolt! That girl is making a small boy of you. What a nice thing it is to be conceited! Ha, ha !'' His laugh was the half-hearted one we use when we see th e joke is on us. " Imagined the girl was fairl y carried away by your manly charms! Oh, my ! How she would laugh at th e thought!" · After some more of this he thought of Rampart, and his merriment became more like real. Where did Rampart come in? The joke was on him, after all. Considering th e subject thoroughly threshed out, Jarvis yawned and turned over to sleep . When th ey next saw Miss Ferguson, her manner to Jarvis was so gracious that the strongwilled young man's resolutions disappeared in a whirlwind of tender passions. He forgot Jack and all his claims for justice, and applied himself to tl: e very seriou s occupation of exploring the depths of those eyes. Jack was fi dgety and seemed to find Miss Dunbar's attractiveness unattractive. He had eyes only for the very contented lad and lassie a short distance from him. If looks had had sufficient potency, Jarvis would have vanished from the face of the earth . When the time came- and it came all too soon for Jarvisthey walked home, but they walked in silence. J arvis again thought harshly of himself and Jack agreed with him in every particular. Next morning Jarvis got a letter and actin . he must go home. As a matter of fa t th l1ton Impulse, hastened to inform Jack that having a pleasant time, but a little mi~u~de:st:n~fn expressed only the wish that he was t g_ of the words was easy.

Of course this brilliant idea of direct communication originated with the "General," who is always striving to invent some new labor-saving device.

HARRIS, HANK PENNELL, POP WILLING, PIGGY KEMP, This company was organized for the purpose of making inspections of the different strawberry patches of Anne Arundel County, and, incidentally, to sample the fruit in each one. The inspections take place every week, usually on Saturday afternoons. During th;; week a delegation usually goes the rounds to see that everything is in order. A few words about the individual members of this company. The captain, Burtis Cooper, was elected to his position because he can eat,more strawberries than any other member, and also because of his appearance, which always commands respect. The lieutenant, Prep. Gosnell, although he is little, is a very able officer, noted for escaping the snares laid by indignant owners of outraged strawberry patches. The whole company is more or less efficient in the mastication of the fruit, and also in tlie location of patches. It is with one of these weekly rounds of inspection that this story is concerned. One Saturday afternoon in early spring the company was mustered. Roll-call found the captain, lieutenant and four privates present. The rest had leave of absence to visit their sweethearts, so of course were excused. The company marched along inspecting each patch as it was passed, until finally they came to the place owned by old man Jones. No one was near, and so fine and luscious were the berries, that they decided to go no further, but to fill their contribution box (a bushel basket), and also themselves, at this place. So everyone jumped over the fence and began picking strawberries as if for a wager. Several carriages passed, and the captain questioned the occupants of each as to whether or not they owned the patch, but all answered no. So the company got careless, and the sentinel who had been left to watch for teams left his post and joined his companions. Thus it happened that no one saw the conveyance containing old man Jones and his family coming along the road , until it arrived at the patch. The first intimation of danger was received when a voice was heard shouting, "Who gave you permission to git them strawberries." 194 Then the captain decided that discretion was th b Mr. Jones had a long, wicked-looking blacksnake w~· e~ter part of valor, especially as retreat.

JOHN'S CoLLEGE, January 1, 1904. I, Buck, wishing to know how many times I shall get sick and what maladies shall attack me, intend to keep a rigid account of my various ailments until Feb. 1, 1904, if none of them compel me to pass in my checks before that time. So here goes: JANUARY 2.-Today I had a severe attack of megalocardia and could secure relief only by taking a pint of Wilson's Best. JANUARY 3.-About 11 o'clock, p. m., I bad a severe pain between the first and second ribs. Not knowing what to make of it, I resolved to experiment with a dose of magnesia, and, in the dark, picked up the bottle and swallowed a good-sized mouthful. The pain left immediately. The next morning I found a black spot on my cheek and investigating its cause di scovered that I had · swallowed one-third of a bottle of shoepolish instead of magnesia. JANUARY 6.- While seated at the breakfast table, I was seized with such awful cramps that I could not rise until I had taken six glasses of mill<. JANUARY 10.-Was affected by general debility, which was likely to end my earthly career, but Tommy's pills brought me through all right, all right, all right.

There's a time in each year, That we always hold dear 'Tis the good old footbali time· On the gridiron we're playing, ' Our talents displaying, In the good old football time. All rivals we meet we'll surely defeat, Wbe~ o_ur backs go right through the line, No lucking, no grumbling, no fighting, no fumbling, In the good old football time. CHORUS: JANUARY ll.-Hadn't money enough to get anything to get sick on. JANUARY 12.-Had tonsilitis in a malignant form uutil the doctor stuck a butcher's knife down my throat, which put an end to the sore throat, and almost to me. JANUARY 15.-About 2 o'clock in the morning I dreamed a funny dream and could not mrderstand it, until I tried to get up, when I discovered that cerebro-spinal-meningitis had entered my system. Consequently I had to skip all classes that day . The attack was temporary, and bad disappeared by baseball time. JANUARY 16, 18, 20.-Couldn't find a fa shionable disease for each of these days so I decided not to be sick. Oh, the dear old football time In the good old football time ' Old St. John's is rushing bard, Through her rivals line. She gets the ball, her rivals fall And that's a very good sign, ' That St. John's is the only thing In the good old football time.

Most of my time was employ ed in reading and fi shing and it was whil e out on an expedition for some of the finn y tribe, that the in cident which I am about to relate occurred. The fish had not been biting very well and I determined to move farther up stream. I clambered across the nearby fence and proceeded along the bank Imagine my surprise to find another fisherman, sitting on a rock, smoking an old corn cob, and waiting patiently for the welcome tug on his line. "Hello!" said I. "Fishin g, are you? What luck?" "Hello!" he answered. "Yes, to your first question, and to the second I must say only fairl y." After this we engaged in a general conversation, when I learned that his name was Mr. Father and that he owned the farm of which the field extending down to the stream formed a part. As I enjoyed his conversation I asked him to give me a description of his farm and its workings. This he promised with becoming modesty and I think it best to give the account in his own words:" I have lived here for a number of years, and feel quite attached to the old place. Under my direction the farm has been divid ed into five fields, four of which lie on one. side of that hill" - pointing over toward the East-" while the other is down beyond. Those on this side are rectangular in shap e and of equal size, each one containin g about one hundred acres. The fifth is somewhat larger thaR the others. "I shall begin with this one and give a description of each . Do you see tbat small house do wn there in the left-hand corner ? Well, that is where tb e Parson lives. He can be heard shouting, singing, and delivering sermons at all hours of the night. A rather peculiar circumstance is th at Fox Hall, the greatest sport of our commtmity r dwells with him. We cannot imagine how th ey agree with each other; th e on e with his beads and prayerbook, the other with his canes, high hats and patent leather shoes. The right end of the fi eld is a retreat for quails. The Bob Whites are there in great numbers and offer a great temptation to visitors in this neighborhood. All attempts at gunning, however, are ptinished to the full extent of the law, for I am proud of my little friends and their rights shall be respected ." "What is that object on top of the hill," I asked. "That is an old Binder. It has long been out of use. " Up in that tall tree over on th e right lives a large old Owl, who often makes tt e nights hideous with his hootings. "In th e second field we find a greater variety of objects. Th e first is the Cow Punch, who hails from Nebraska and presents an ideal of that class of mortals. He is quite popular among the gentry, but thinks just a little too much of Pun ch. You need not be alarmed when I say that a Jew dwells in the neighborhood;- Yes, that Creeper is very pretty, bu~ it !s not Virg~nia Creeper. This came from New York, and I have never see n any other hke 1t. Downm the corner above the quail s' nest lives a Smith. His is a useful trade, . and t~ meet the demands made on him he has purchased an automatic bellow by :vbwh he 1 e~abled to keep bi!:s fire bot continually. All that is necessary is a windin~ s up 111 the mormng. "I live il) the. third field . To the right of my house the Poke(y) weeds have full s~ray and useless 1s any atten:pt to devote the land to a more profitable use.

' 213 212 �Conclusion Our task is drawing to a close. For long weeks we have toiled to produce a book that would stand as a picture of St. John's, and a memorial to the class of 1905. We have worked when we should have been sleeping, and slept when we should have been working ; the editor has worried his assistants and the assistants have worried him until, together, they have succeeded in publishing a RAT- TAT. Within its covers are many things interesting only to the students, and doubtless some things that are of no interest to any one. Even now as we glance back over these pages we see many improvements that might be made, and we long for one more trial. But the time has passed, and there dawns upon us the truth of Whittier's immortal lines,"Of all sad words of tongue or pen, The saddest are these: It might have been." In the short space that yet remains we wish to thank most heartily those persons who have contributed to whatever of success this book may have attained. To the following artists we are indebted for the illustrations found herein : Miss Sicely M. Wilson, Gertrude Meyer, Beulah M. Spring, Leslie Woods, Mary Tower, Miss Johnson, Messrs. Walter R. Gale, Charles H. McNabb, J. F . Linthicum, H . A. Taylor, Dick Clarke and Guy Neff. And now it is late-very late. The town is wrapped in slumber, and no sound save the monotonous tick- t ack, tick-tack of the old clock on the wall disturbs the sombre silence of Pinkney. One by one the writers have fallen into the arms of Morpheus, until the editor is left alone. The Muse has deserted him. His paper becomes blurred as the light grows dimmer and dimmer, and the pen drops from his weary fingers-he has fallen asleep. 215 214 �Contents 158 188 29 39- 42 172, 68 180 174 125 184 139 145 141 145 59 75 85. 153 121 123 A Day of Coll ege Life, .
