TO HIS MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY, &c.

JOHN'S COLLEGE. CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE. tending your royal benediction to our neighbouring colony, your majesty's subjects and territory of Virginia, in your gracious grant and charter for the propagation of the college, or place of universal study, in that your majesty's said colony. In humble contemplation whereof, and being excited by his present excellency, Francis Nicholson:, Esquire, your majesty's governor of this your province, his zeal for your majesty's service, pious endeavours and generous offers for the propagation of christianity and good learning, herein we become humble suitors to your most sacred majesty, to extend your royal grace and favour to us your majesty's subjects of this province, represented in this your majesty's general assembly thereof, That it may be enacted, It was as a continuation of King William's School that St. John's College received a charter from the General Assembly of Maryland, in the year 1784. The college, therefore, has had . a continuous existence since the earliest colonial times. Its campus eloquently testifies to its great age. Great trees cast a deep shade over it; one of them (the " Liberty Tree ") is estimated to be 600 years old - to have been nearly 200 years old, that is, when Columbus discovered America! This tree has l been perfectly preserved and properly marked by the efforts of the Peggy Stewart Tea Party (Annapolis) Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution. The buildings suggest historic things; they are of red brick, colonial design, . several of them covered with ivy two or three feet thick. II . .AND MAY IT BE ENACTED, by the King's most excellent majesty, by 1and with the advice, prayer and consent of this present General Assembly, and the auth01'ity of the same, That for the propagation of the gospel, and the education of the youth of this province in good letters and manners, that a certain place or places, for a free-school, or place of study of Latin, Greek, writing, and the like, consisting of one master, one usher, and. one writing-master, or scribe, to a school, and one hundred scholars, more or less, according to the ability of the said free-school, may be made, erected, founded, propagated and established under your royal patronage. And that the most reverend father in: God Thomas, by Divine Providence lordarchbishop of Canterbury, primate and metropolitan of all England, may be chancellor of the said school; and that, to perpetuate the memory of your majesty, it may be called King William's School, and managed by certain trustees, nominated and appointed by your sacred majesty.'' True to the traditions of Maryland, the General Assembly ,. wrote into the charter of the college the following principles of freedom: '' Whereas, institutions for the liberal education of youth in the principles of virtue, knowledge and useful literature are of the highest benefit to society, in order to train up and perpetuate a succession of able and honest men for discharging the various offices and duties of life, both civil and religious, with usefulness and reputation:, and such institutions of learning have accordingly been promoted and encouraged by the wisest and best regulated States, IL Be it enacted, by the General Assembly of Maryland, that a college or general seminary of learning, by the name of Saint John's, be established on the Western Shore, upon the following fundamental and inviolable principles, namely: first, the said college shall be founded and maintained forever upon a most liberal plan, for the benefit of youth of every religious denomination, who shall be freely admitted to equal privileges and advantages of education, and to all the literary hon- �20 CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE. ours of the college, according to their merit, without requiring or enforcing any religious or civil test, or urging their attendance upon any particular religious worship or service, other than what they have .been educated in, or have the consent and approbation of their parents or guardians to attend; nor shall any preference be given in the choice of a principal, vice-principal, or other professor, master or tutor, in the said college, on account of his particular religioUB profession, having regard solely to his moral character and literary abilities, and other necessary qualifications to fill the place for which he shall be chosen. '' From the first, the college appears to have had high prestige. President Washington paid it a visit in 1791, two years after the opening, and was shown about the campus in company with the Governor of Maryland and a number of prominent citizens. Following his visit he addressed this letter to the faculty of the college: To the Faculty of St. John's College: GE~TLEMEN =-:-''Th~ satisfaction which I have derived from my visit your mfant seminary 18 expressed with much pleasure, and my wishes for its progress to perfection are proffered with sincere regard. . " The. very promising appearance of its infancy must :flatter all it11fnends (with whom I entreat you to class me) with the hope of an early and at the same time a mature manhood. " ~ou :wD-1 do just~ce. to the sentiments which your kind regard toward. ~yself mspues, by beh~vmg that I reciprocate the good wishes contained m your address, and I smcerely hope the excellence of your seminary will be manifested in the morals and science of the youths who are favored with your care. ' ' ~o April 17th, 1791. GEORGE WASHINGTON. He thought highly enough of the college to send four of his nephews to it to receive their education. They were: George, Fairfax, and Lawrence Washington, and Parke Custis. Another student of that period, who was graduated in , 1796, was Francis Scott Key, author of the Star Spangled CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE. 21 Banner. In 1824 General Lafayette made a visit to the college, and is said to have been entertained under the giant poplar tree . Until 1886 the college carried on under various presidents and with varying fortunes. The three decades before the Civil War and the two decades following it seem to have been a trying half century for more than one American college. During the Civil War itself the college was closed, its buildings 1 being used as a Union army hospital. An old engraving made , at that time shows the front campus covered W,ith tents, with sentries patrolling the entrance where the World War memorial now stands, and horses dragging cannon about. The old poplar figures prominently in the picture; several of the buildings appear practically as at present. After the war the college re-opened and presidents sucaeded each other rapidly until in 1886 Dr. Thomas Fell was placed in charge. He was a young Englishman, who applied energy and good sense toward putting new life into the college. He added good men to his faculty, secured money for needed buildings and improvements, and set about attracting more students. , The prestige of the college rapidly increased under him and its attendance grew. He retired in 1923 after 37 years of service, being made President Emeritus. He was succeeded by Dr. Enoch Barton Garey, an alumnus of the college, and until his accession to the presidency an officer in the United States Army. Realizing that the last few years had brought about a profound change in American colleges, Dr. Garey devoted himself to bringing about three major things: the installation of a · faculty that would compare with the faculty of any institution in the country; narrowing the scope of the college vvork, so that all energy could be concentrated on the Bachelor degree, and raising an endowment that would make the college in part · self-supporting. With his coming, in order to accomplish the first object, the faculty was re-organized. To accomplish the second object, the preparatory department was discontinued, �22 CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE. CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE. as was compulsory military training and all graduate work To accomplish the third object, he conducted a campaig~ among the alumni and friends of the college for $500,000. LOCATION The presidents of the college, with the services, follow: The Rev. J. McDowell, LL.D., 1789-1807. Dr. Bethel Judd, 1807-1820. The Rev. Henry Lyon Davis, 1820-1824. The Rev. Dr. William Raferty, 1824-1831. The Rev. Dr. Hector Humphreys, 1831-1857. The Rev. C. K. Nelson, 1857-1861. (The college was closed for five years during the Civil War.) Dr. James C. Welling, 1866-1870. Dr. James M. Garnett, 1870-1880. The Rev. Dr. J. M. Leavitt, 1880-1884. William H. Hopkins, 1884-1886. Dr. Thomas Fell, 1886-1923. Dr. Enoch Barton Garey, 1923-- THE PURPOSE OF THE COLLEGE St. John's aims to be a small college, limited to 400 ' students, concentrating on the course of study in liberal arts "" and sciences. President Garey stated the purpose of the college in his Inaugural Address: " Our effort will be to awaken our students to the questions common to all intelligent men_· the problems of science, of history, of philosophy, of literature; . then t_o develop an orderly habit of mind, an open-minded, analytical, appreciative power; to have both teacher and stud- .· ent feel comradeship in the enterprise of understandino- human experience, and, _in the ligh~ of that understanding, se;ve their day and generation. To tlus old college will come boys, who must be graduated from it as men; men made aware of the obligations and beauties of life; men trained to be critically alert and intellectually fearless; men who have learned to live honorably, courteously and serviceably with their fellowmen; men who have been initiated into an understanding of the truth that makes men free." 23 St. John's College has a campus of twenty-six acres in the city of Annapolis, which is located at the mouth of the Severn River, about a mile from Chesapeake Bay. One of the most healthful and picturesque towns in America, with shaded streets, beautiful colonial homes, and old Southern families and traditions, it is the State Capital of Maryland and is near the cities of Washington and Baltimore. It can be reached by ' an hour's ride from Baltimore and an hour and a half ride fro:m Washington. In addition, Annapolis has ferry service ·. to Claiborne, on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, and there is ' bus service from Annapolis to Solomon's Island through a large section of Southern Maryland. BUILDINGS AND EQUIPMENT In addition to professors' houses, the college has the fol:. lowing buildings: McDowell Hall (administration offices, .; classrooms, and chapel); Randall Hall (dining room and . Junior and Senior dormitory); Pinkney Hall (Freshman dormitory); Woodward Hall (library and laboratories); Humphreys Hall (Sophomore dormitory), and a gymnasium. ', They are all heated from a central heating plant. The college · library contains 12,000 volumes, including several hundred rare old books which were part of the original library when the college opened in 1789. Additional space has recently ·, been given to the library, and the books are being re-arranged . and re-catalogued, while new books are being constantly · added to the collection. A number of prominent and import' ant magazines are regularly received. Provision is being 'made for building up a thoroughly modern, representative, \working library for the use of all of the departments of the ·' college. Well-equipped chemical, physical and biological · laboratories are available. The college has football, baseball, soccer, and lacrosse :; fields, and tennis, basketball and handball courts. The gym: nasium is completely equipped, the floor accommodating the maximum size basketball court. �l i: 24 CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE. Students are lodged in Pinkney, Humphreys and Randall·· Halls. All rooms are attractively papered and painted. Two students are usually assigned to a room. Janitors are em-· ployed, who care for the students' rooms. Furniture and mat-~: t~esses are supplie~ by the c~l~ege. The student should bring'. his own bed clothmg. A dmmg room for students is mai~ ·' tained, in which student waiters are employed. CHURCH ATTENDANCE The college encourages, but does not compel, attendance at church. There are six churches in Annapolis, all of which ! invite attendance by students. They are, with their respective ·, clergymen: St. Anne's Protestant Episcopal, the Rev. Dr. ) Edward D. Johnson; Calvary Methodist Episcopal, the Rev. · Dr. R. W. H. Weech; College Avenue Baptist, the Rev. M. W. Royall; First Presbyterian, the Rev. Dr. Silas E. Persons; St. Martin's Evangelical Luthern, the Rev. Frederick H. Graeper; St. Mary's Roman Catholic (Redemptorist · Fathers), the Rev. James J. Lynch. ALUMNI ASSOCIATION Alumni of the college maintain an association which has . become increasingly active in raising funds, advising in mat- ; ters of college policy, assisting students, etc. Officers of the o association are: Dr. James A. Nydegger, President; T. West Claggett, Secretary-Treasurer. Headquarters of the association are at 405-7 Calvert Building, Baltimore, Md. Local associations are organized throughout the country. NAVAL RESERVE OFFICERS' TRAINING UNIT A unit for Naval Reserve Officers' training was started in 1924. This is the only college at which such a unit is main- . tained. In the future there will be many other colleges hav- ·' ing such a course, but St. John's has the honor of beinCT the,.• b first. · CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE. 25 Enrollment consists in taking the oath of office and in accepting the appointment as Midshipman. The enrollment is for a period of four years, during which time the individual binds himself to serve in case of national emergency when called by the President. Membership in the unit is voluntary, and the beginning class is limited to freshmen so that a four years' course may be completed. For a detailed statement of the curriculum credits allowed, see" Courses of Instruction." The qualifications are: (1) be an American citizen; (2) be eighteen years of age; (3) be of desirable officer material; ( 4) be a student in good standing belonging to the Freshmen class, who intends to take the full four years' course at the college; (5) take, in addition to the course in naval subjects, a course in mathematics sufficient to cover logarithms, plane and spherical trigonometry; (6) pass the usual prescribed physical examination. Those who are enrolled will be given an appointment as Midshipmen in the Naval Reserve. All who complete the four years' course will be commissioned as Ensigns in the Na val Reserve. Text books will be loaned to students. The Annual Practice Cruise for the Midshipmen at Annapolis usually commences about June 8 and continues until about August 28. It is desired that as many Reserve Midshipmen as possible embark on this cruise. Those who find it impracticable to do so will be required to take a shorter cruise on vessels of the Scouting Fleet. The regular cruise is, however, far preferable and the benefits to be derived are immeasurably superior. During the four years' course Reserve Midshipmen receive no pay. Those taking the Practice Cruise receive the pay of a midshipman for the duration of the cruise, approximately $89 a month. Those taking a cruise on vessels other than the Practice Cruise receive the same pay for the c;luration of the cruise. �26 CATALOGUE OF .ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE. CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE. STUDENT ACTIVITIES Fraternities: There are two fraternities, Phi Sigma Kappa and Kappa Alpha (Southern), both being chapters of national " organizations. They maintain houses in Annapolis, where there are lounging, smoking, reading, and music rooms. For the year 1925-26 the President of Phi Sigma Kappa is A. M. Cunningham, '27; the chief officer of Kappa Alpha is S. C. Brown, '27. The college encourages students to take part in activities outside the curriculum. The pi-incipal organizations through which these activities are carried on follow: Student Council: In matters not related to the curriculum the college grants the students a large measure of self-government. All questions arising under this arrangement are referred to the Student Council. Particularly, this council has supervision over questions of student conduct and acts in a supervisory capacity to keep morale at a high level. It meets weekly. Its membership consists of three Seniors, two Juniors, one Sophomore, and one Freshman. The Freshman member has no vote. Officers for the year 1925-26 are: Donald C. Davis, '27, President; M. S. McComas, Jr., '26, Secretary. Literary Societies: Two literary societies are maintained, the Philomathean and the Philokalian.

In humble ccmtemplation whereof, and being excited by his present excellency, Francis Nicholson:, Esquire, your majesty's governor of this your province, his zeal for your majesty's service, pious endea;ours and generous offers for the propagation of christianity and good learning, herein we become humble suitors to your most sacred majesty, to extend your royal grace and favour to us your.majesty's subjects of this province, represented in this your majesty's general assembly thereof, That it may be enacted, II. AND MAY IT BE ENACTED, by the King's rnost excellent majesty, by iand with the advice, prayer and consent of this present General Assembly, and the authority of the same, That for the propagation of the gospel, and the education of the youth of this province in good letters and manners, that a certain place or places, for a free-school, or place of study of Latin, Greek, writing, and the like, consisting of one master, one usher, and one writing-master, or scribe, to a school, and one hundred scholars, more or less, according to the ability of the said free-school, may be made, erected, founded, propagated and established under your royal patronage. And that the most reverend father in· God Thomas, by Divine Providence lordarchbishop of Canterbury, primate and metropolitan 0£ all England, may be chancellor of the said school; and that, to perpetuate the memory of your majesty, it may be called King William's School, and managed by certain trustees, nominated and appointed by your sacred majesty.'' CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE. 19 It was as a continuation of King William's School that St. John's College received a charter from the General Assembly of Maryland, in the year 1784. The college, therefore, has had a continuous existence since the earliest colonial times; Its campus eloquently testifies to its great age. Great trees cast a deep shade over it; one of them (the " Liberty Tree ") is estimated to be 600 years old - to have been nearly 200 years old, that is, when Columbus discovered America!. This tree has been perfectly preserved and properly marked by the efforts of the Peggy Stewart Tea Party (Annapolis) Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution. The buildings suggest historic things; they are of red brick, colonial design, several of them covered with ivy two or three feet thick. True to the traditions of Maryland, the General Assembly wrote into the charter of the college the following principles of freedom: '' Whereas institutions for the liberal educa' tion of youth in the principles of virtue, knowledge and useful literature are of the highest benefit to society, in order to train up and perpetuate a succession of able and honest men for discharging the various offices and duties of life, both civil and reliofous with usefulness and reputation:, and such 0 ' institutioDB of learning have accordingly been promoted and encouraged by the wisest and best regulated States, II. Be it enacted, by the General Assembly of Maryland, that a college or general seminary of learning, by the name of Saint John's, be established on the Western Shore, upon the following fundamental and inviolable principles, namely: first, the said college shall be founded and maintained forever upon a most liberal plan, for the benefit of youth of every religious denomination, who shall be freely admitted to equal privileges and advantages of education, and to all the literary hon- �20 CATALOGUE OF ST.

JOHN'S COLLEGE. ours of the college, according to their merit, without requiring or enforcing any religious or civil test, or urging their attendance upon any particular religious worship or service, other than what they have been educated in, or have the consent and approbation of ·their parents or guardians to attend ; nor shall any preference be given in the choice of a principal, vice-principal, or other professor, master or tutor, in the said college, on account of his particular religious profesmon, having regard solely to his moral character and literary abilities, and other n,ecessary qualifications to fill the place for which he shall be chosen." Banner. In 1824 General Lafayette made a visit· to the col·. lege, and is said to have been entertained under the giant pop. lar tree. Until 1886 the college carried on under various presidents and with varying fortunes. The three decades before the Civil War and the two decades following it seem to have been a : trying half century for more than one American college. Dur'. ing the Civil War itself the college was closed, its buildings · being used as a Union army hospital. An old engraving made at that time shows the front campus covered w,ith tents, with .. sentries patrolling the entrance where the World War ;. memorial now stands, and horses dra,gging cannon about. The ;· old poplar figures prominently in the picture; several of the buildings appear practically as at present. From the first, the college appears to have had high prestige. President Washington paid it a visit in 1791, two years after the opening, and was shown about the campus in company with the Governor of Maryland and a number of prominent citizens. Following his visit he addressed this letter to the faculty of the college : After the war the college re-opened and presidents succeeded each other rapidly until in 1886 Dr. Thomas Fell was placed in charge. He was a young Englishman, who applied energy and good sense toward putting new life into the college. He added good men to his faculty, secured money for needed buildings and :improvements, and set about attracting more students. The prestige of the college rapidly increased under him and its attendance grew. He retired in 1923 after 37 years of service, being made President Emeritus. He was succeeded by Dr. Enoch Barton Garey, an alumnus of the college in the Class of 1903. i To the Faculty of St. John's College: GENTLEMEN:-"The satisfaction which I have derived from my vi1it to your infant seminary is expressed with much pleasure, and my wishes for its progress to perfection are proffered with sincere regard. '' The very promising appearance of its infancy must flatter all its friends (with whom I entreat you to class me) with the hope of an early and at the same time a matnre manhood. " You will do justice to the sentiments which your kind regard toward· ' myself inspires, by believing that I reciprocate the good wishes contained · in your address, and I sincerely hope the excellence of your seminary will be manifested in the morals and science of the youths who are favored with your care. ' ' April 17th, 1791. GEORGE WASIDNGTON. He thought highly enough of the college to send four of his nephews to it to receive their education. They were: George, Fairfax, and Lawrence Washington, and Parke Custis. Another student of that period, who was graduated in 1796, was Francis Scott Key, author of the Star Spangled 21 l ~, ! Building upon the sound traditions of the past, President Garey devoted himself to bringing about three major things: the installation of a faculty with training and experience in 'the leading colleges and universities of this country and abroad; the working out of a curriculum, of liberal studies leading to the Bachelor of Arts degree, with individual instruction largely supplanting the lecture method; and the raising of an endowment for jmproved equipment and desirable physical expansion. �22 CATALOGUE OF ST.

Dr. Enoeh Barton Garey, 1923-- THE PURPOSE OF THE COLLEGE St. John's is a small non-sectarian, non-coeducational college, limited to 400 students, concentrating on the course of study in liberal arts and sciences. With this limited enrollment and an unusually adequate and able faculty an earnest endeavor is made to develop the student as an individual and to help him create for himself a cultural background which will fit him to assume leadership in whatever professional path of life he chooses later to follow. President Garey stated the purpose of the college in his Inaugural Address: "Our effort will be to awaken our students to the questions common to all intelligent menthe problems of science, of history, of philosophy, of literature; then to develop an orderly habit of mind, an open-minded, analytical, appreciative power; to have both teacher and student feel comradeship in the enterprise of understanding human experience, and, in the light of that understanding, serve their day and generation. To this old college will come boys, who must be graduated from it as men; men made aware of the obligations and beauties of life; men trained to be critically alert and intellectually fearless; men who have learned to live honorably, courteously and serviceably with their fellowmen; men who have been initiated into an understanding of the truth that makes men free." CA'l'ALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE. LOCATION St. John's College is situated on a campus of twenty-six , acres in the city of Annapolis, which is located at the mouth {of the Severn River about a mile from Chesapeake Bay. The ''.grounds of the United States Naval Academy are adjacent ·to the College campus. One of the most healthful and , picturesque towns of America, with beautiful Georgian ,fColonial homes and old Southern traditions, it is the Capital : of Maryland and is within an hour's ride of the cities of Bal,timore and ·washington, D. C. The departments of the National Government, the museums, libraries, art galleries, i zoological gardens, buildings of historic interest and learned Unstitutions of Washington are thus available to students, as )are many similar educational resources of Baltimore. Annap'olis has ferry service to Claiborne, on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, and there is a bus service from Annapolis to Solo: mon's Island, through a large section of Southern Maryland. BUILDINGS AND EQUIPMENT McDowell Hall, the central building of the college, wa5 , originally designed as the Governor's Mansion. Many historic events, including a farewell banquet to Lafayette, have been 'celebrated within its walls.

JOHN'S SPIRIT-encompassing all who pass through this college -is an attestation of those ideals which our Alma l\ifater has instilled within us. May it always be a part of us, and, as time passes, burst into fuller fruition with the realil7lation of the contribution that our college has made to us through that medium intangible, but real-St. John 's Spirit. PROFESSOR CLARENCE w. We present thi,s effort <as a record .of lasting friendships and hours of joy and toil and as a servi,ce to St. John's, an institution of learning whose future shall bear out the promise of its past. If all this has been embodied in the pages of this book, then our purpose has been accomplished. STRYKER T0 who~, because his dreams of the future St. John 's have inspired the theme of this book, and his lofty idealism, liberal teaching and splendid devotion to St. John's have endeared him to the hearts of many, we dedicate this book. N s p I R Page Six A T I 0 N p R 0 G R Page Seven E s s �T. JOHN 'S of the past was a college for many sons of Maryland 's vigorous and enterprising P'a.rent s. George Wash ington, having n o sons of his own, sent to us his grand st ep"sons. I t is pleasant to look back even upon our early t imes when our student body was composed of representatives of families that stood for high mindedness, for courtesy, for what ladies and gentlemen h•ave always stood for. St. John 's, that h as always been small, will always remain small. In a busy world, a world too busy, perhaps, it is a good thing t o h ave a small college of liber al arts for boys, without r eligious or political bias, small enough to be personal , keen enough to appreciate the good of the p r esent, and old enough to understand the wisd om of the past. St. J ohn's want s her students t o do their own t hinking and expects them t o be responsible fo r their conduct . For h er students to be human and t o err in the smaller things, is exp ected, is u nderstood and is forgiven in advance. Th ose big t hings for which the college will always stand for are: first, character ; second, old-fashioned hustling ; and third, straight thinking. E NOCH BAR'l'ON' GAREY. 'DR. ENOCH B AWfO N G AitEY President of St. John's v I s I "We shall escape the uphill by never tnrning back. " -ROSETTI Pag e Ifi ght P age N ine 0 N �HAT of the future St. John ' s~ As dean, I hope to see our present faculty staying here, with salaries . ~ and opportunities for advanced work sufficiently attractive to keep them; and our students getting to know them and work with them more and more eagerly and creatively. Th1a.t is the one essential relationship which will make St. John's a distinguished college. As a teacher of classics and arts, I hope to see a few more boys coming here prepared in Greek, and many more starting it in college. One great mission of colleges in this very Roman civilization of ours, is to be Greek center& of enlightenment, cultivating the Greek virtues of intellectual curiosity, aesthetic appreciation and moral balance. In fine arts especially I expect St. John's to make a significant contribution among American colleges. No small cJllege in this country is so well situated with regard to museums, libraries and private collections, the recent acquisition of the Harwood House, and the d onation of a Carnegie Art teaching collection, have given us an excellent start in equipment. Within five years we should be offering a maj or in art, and sending graduates regularly int:i the professions of architecture and the allied arts.

A diver-sity 0£ interests in activities on and off the campu.s is present in our worthy pedagogues. Tennis, basketball, swimming, chess, trans-Atlantic trips on mt.tie-boats, bridge, Europe (in genera~), and the Rising Sun Inn are among the many excitements enjoyed by them. As to the cattle-bo,at trips, we would suggest tha.t Pr-ofes,sor Brockway is a master of ''hassies coiffeur. '' Dean Agard is so entlmsiastic about his trip to Europe this su=er that he forg:ot ·o nce during the year to give a concer,t after Art class. Professor Stryker who hws held the All-Maryland championship for ante-sp ring swimming for years surrendered his tiitl.e to five thoughtles·s freshmen last year. The defeat was str.ongly felt by his colleagues. In basket1ball, Crowley and Brockway excel; Crowley because he pla ys an interpretative game and Br,o ckway through hi•s ability to hide behind the gymnasium girders. Major Garey's dauntiess enthUJsiasm for briclge proves fatal to any who w.ould 0ha]lenge !tim. The campu's silo.gan is, ''Not Hoyle, but Garey! '' 'l'he faculty bus, be.tter known a,s George Bingley 's motm cm-, is 1the means o'.f mu0h exciting and pleasant parties at Rising Sun Inn. At t,lrn Inn the faculty has its tea and pink wafers. 'l'he Inn's distance from the co]l]ege i•s its ,i nterest. Although a number of the faculty are interested in chess, we pre-suppose that Pmfessor McGill, wi·th his philosophica[ attitude, is a past master of the ancien.t and royal game; therefore a deadly opponent. ~,.._,,_.>!!

Hence, perfect your own seH, and you will help to improve our future ! DR. KuEHNEMUND JN PARtfZ,VDUJ CRO\./lf.Y my opinion St. John's should never enroll more than 250 students. We should strive for quality rather than quantity, and a small student body and large faculty are necessary to attain this end. Our campus, too, is admira.hly fitted for such a size. The two big needs in equipment are a new Science building and a new library, both/ of which can be readily vlaced on our campus without over-crowding. With administration offices housed in Wood ward hall, classes in McDowell and Science halls, all other buildrings except the Gymnasium could be used for dormitories, and would furnish adequate housing facilities. Fvom an academic standpoint, St. John's should aim to give students a liberal education and stimulate in them an interest in future intellectual work such as Graduate study in variouSJ lines and the pursuit of such professions as medicine and law which require a certain amount of college training as a preliminary study. PROF. M. T. TOWNSEND Political Science: ME-THODICAL MYRON ANNAPOLIS, MARYLAND \../If Tf-UL \,./Ill · LOG I CAL JE-f/ It- Page Thirty-eight THE location of St. John's in Annapolis gives the students at this college the rather unusual opportunity to study government at first hand. Besides having possible a daily contact with the· branches of the Maryland state government, Washington, D. C. is also near, forty miles by rail. Of equal value with thris chance to observe directly the functioning of the national government and a state is the e·a sy access to official records. Research in the field of politics is thus made possible and of great value by the personal use of original sources. These influences have encouraged the desire to make Political Science one of the strong departments of this college. · Page Thirty-nine �Faculty Opinions of the Future St. ]ohn's,~,Continued Economics: A LTHO the study of Economics is often directed, and with intention, to- ward vocational training in business and finance such is not the major purpose of this department at St. John's. The aim is rather to encourage the study of the fundamentals of this science and to deve~op a sense of eareful valuation in the subject matter. Emphasis on method is, of course an essential. Such a plan, it is felt,. provides a sound basis for living in ~ society. PROF. v. J. WYCKOFF J T is th~ policy of the Department of Physical Education to develop a beneficial system of games and gymnastics. One of the principal reasons why play and games are the best preparation for later life is in its characteristically purposeful attitude, its intent not on how a thing is done, as upon getting the thing done. Watch a child as he attempts to make his first block house, notice how production takes complete possession of him. Watch him as he plays in some hunting game and notice the utter eoncentration on the purpose to catch or to escape. These games develop t he entire body, as well as the mind. GymnaSJtics when based upon satisfactory fundamental principles, may be an aid in correcting bodily defects which have been the result of one 's own carelessness. It develops ability to judge and manage one's own momentum to best advantage. The Department of Physical Education will endeavor to improve its system so as to get the highest degree of efficiency. R. w. ROGERS The Library of the Future: "A DEEP need is in every sense prophetic." No prophet of old could have recognized a need more keenly than St. John's College recognizes its need of more adequate service to those who name it Alma Mater. As a coordinating unit of the college the library plans cooperate with all other units to the attainment of t he desired go·al. The future may be anticipated and planned for; the library unit does ,this no·w. As fast as possible the books are being recatalogued and new accessions eatalogued using the Library of Congress classification ( with some adaptations in language and literature ) and Library of Congress cards. Before many more years the library should have a uniform catalog, the greatest necessity for a modern college librry. Already there are on the shelves 14,480 books which include old books such as the William and Mary group in1d a good modern collection. With the Carnegie appropriation of $5000 a year for new books t he shelves will rapidly fill; soon there will be the problem of housin~ the books that must come. The day is anticipated when the Department of Chemistry will give up its lien upon the upper and lower floors of Woodward Hall or the library find a new home in more spacious quarters. The _L~bmry of the future affords opportunity for all to facilitate study, occupy leisure and generally enrich t heir lives. By recognizing the prophecy the library plans to meet the evergrowing need. to L U LU Page Forty v.

SPROWLS f OR the future of the History Department at St. John's, I hope for addi- tional physical equipment, more books, especially "original sources", more maps, more and better pictures, models of both beauty and significance. Moreover, I hope for a development of interest, an appreciation of the value and the charm of the study of the drama of hu man evolution in its social aspects. With the advantages of location and the available sources we should produ ce some wor t h-while contribut ions to the early hist ory of Maryland. We should produce t eacher s whose influence would tend t o eliminate much historical '' bunk ' ', too common in our schools. I trust that increasing numbers of student s and faculty will create a demand for additional courses in our curriculum. Finally, I hope for great er correlation between the work of the History Departmen t and other intellectual activities, especially in the Social Sciences and Languages. c. w. STRYKER THE old proverb, '' Ad astra per aspera' '-:--""'' through the rough places to the stars"- describes the mind of most of us toward the St. John 's of today and of tomorrow. We are only too constantly reminded of the mater ial handicaps of today, but we see-or try to see- t he t winkling stars that beckon cheeringly to a better t omorrow. There is a certain joy in knowing that when the morrow comes the stars will be as f ar off as ever , but that we in the meantime shall have learned much on the way and have gone far on that road the world calls "progress". The ' ' rough places ' ' of the Science Department is a lack of a Science Building. We hope that a not too distant morrow wiH see that "rough place' ' behind us and that we shall be installed in an up-to-date building (the detaiiled plans for which have already been drawn up ) with equipment for advanced courses in Physics and Geology as well as Chemistry and Biology. The Science Building is t o contain a badly n eeded audit orium for the general use of t he student body, the present assembly room in McDowell with its excellent colonial lines having been converted into the central reading room, or memorial hall of the Library. With the Library housed in McDowell, the Art Museum in t he Hammond H ouse, Woodward Hall would naturally become the Administration Building. Such is my dream of our passing these ' ' rough places' ' which loom up very menacingly to the science dep ar tments just now. In ·a decade or so, when these visions have become r eality, there will appear new rough places, perhaps more difficult than the present ones, to be overcome. It will be a good fight all the way, and youth, eternal youth, will always be with us. GEORGE EBAUGH Pag e F orty -on e A.

Our day is passing; we move on; leaving the collegiate stage to better actors. But as the ~ curtain falls and while we make our exit as gracefully as possible, let us pause and take stock of our four years of college. What have they meant to us ? What have we derived from 1 them ? What qualities of mind have we attained. • It is customary for the class Historian, glorying in the honor of his >rnrthy office, to take upon himself the task of compiling a prodigious list of social, athletic and scholastic achievements. P erhaps that is one fulfillment of the meaning of the word History. It would be the usual, conventional thing to do; the line of least resistance. But a thought enters; History is relative. It has to do with the present as seen in the light of the past and the hope of the future. History is something more than a business-like list of facts; it is the r ecounting of development of thought, and the circumstances that have brought about that development of thought. Could that not be true of the graduating class of St. J,ohn 's College of 1927? Our minds bordered on "big, buzzing confusions" when we stepped upon the campus in September, 1923. The College was striving to be a first-class liberal arts school, under the leadership of Dr. Enoch Barton Garey. We as Freshmen tried to understand what that meant, in spare moments taken from the fraternity, athletic field or class room. There was no UITity to which we could attach ourselves; everything was experimental, temporary, somewhat unstable; and so conditions have remained. Perhaps it is to our advantage; openmindedness is certainly a commendable quality for a college graduate to possess. Of course we engaged in the usual activities; the various sports, the Collegian and later the Rat-Tat saw us well represented. Purely intellectual acitivities, such as literary clubs and societies, we have shunne~1. Debating has suffered in our hands. Some of us have consumed intellec tual energy in private reading, or by participation in a dramatic activity. But there has been no common, concer ted intellectual interest. We have gone our way alone, writing for the Collegian, playing football or basketball, or gliding across the gym floor during a dance. But this is not a1together a tale of woe; if we have not taken advantage of what the Co.Jlege has offered we cannot blame the College. The fault is ours. In the College catalogue we r ead : ''Our effort will be to a waken our students to the questions common to all intelligent men "-tn have men made aware of the obligations and beauties of life; men trained to be critically alert and intellectually fearless; men who have initiated into an understanding of the truth that makes men free.'' Happy picture! We are awake; we are critical, but we have solved no problems of life. The world and the many fields of knowledge lie dark before us, scarcely challenged. Education is just. beginning. ~pnnsnr 101£ Jl:~t ~tninr @:hts£ MISS V,I RGINIA OWENS BALTIMORE, MARYLAN D Let the curtain fall; our day is over. THID HISTORIAN Pag e Forty-four Pag e Forty-fiv e �F.

Here love; thou seest how dilige1~t I am." -SHAKESPEARE ULTON has succe~ded in obtainin~ v~lua:ble preparation for his life's work at St. Johns. He came behevmg that one must strive for the worth while things, and he has held steadfastly to this tenet. He has led his class for three yoo.r s and undoubtedly will be honor man when he graduates. Fulton has not limited himself to his required work, hut he has constructed a broader basis of culture. In compliance with this resolution, he has read a great deal in the modern and ancient fiction, exerted his historic ability, and branched into social activities. He is pursuing honors work in English 1and will be among the select few whose diploma will display the coveted ''cum horiore. '' Fulton has, in addition to his intellectual accomplishments, other traits which render him a popular man. He has a good fund of humor upon which he draw:s on all appropriate occasions. He has often dispelled the depressment provoked by heavy assignments with a joke and 1a. hearty laugh. His roommate has: attested to his sociability and his generosity with his worldly goods. It is needless for us to make a conventional prediction of his future success. Good fortune will surely follow one who is as conscientious and versatile as Fulton. Re expects to do post-graduate work, and he will emerge a very creditable professor in his chosen field. fl HE picture that you see above this little pa_ra~rap~ is not hy far the one that should appear there. For once m ·its history the camera ~~ has lied. A photograph of "Rochie" if it were not touched up by the photographer would .show great tears of anguish rolling down his sunken cheeks, and a hangdog look would appear on his countenance. You ask why? "Rochie" is known as the "crying towel," the "mickey," the ''mope'' of the campus. He never gets the right break, and the professors never appreciate him. He hasn't a friend in the world, and he guesses that he might just as well go out and end it all ri~ht now. He is the one person in the universe that never had a ·chance and will never get one. Yet who in this great university has more for which to be thankful than ''old Montana Bull''? He will graduate with '27 after an expenditure of little or no work. He has attained a worldly knowledge hard to equal. His ability to control the frailer sex goes unquestioned among his fellow-students, and many of our fair swains go to him for fatherly advice. He has been blessed with the brains of Socrates arid the features of an Adonis. "Riigged strength and radiant beaidyThese were one in nature's plan; Hiimble toil and an heavenward diityThese have formed the perfect man:" "Rochie" personified. \ '-..;. ...

But he needs no ~p brothers to urge him; he's na,t urally a ladies' man. In fact, the rest of the family must step aside while he indulges in his affairs. He does not believe in an 0. A. 0., but takes them all lightly and as they come. F course Louis is going to be a success; all college men are . It is not l the purpose o.f annual write-ups to portray futuristic achievements ~ but to truthfully tell what a man has been. and has done. ' • Louis is one of the finest men in the Class of 1927. He has been neither star nor baseball lumin~ry, but he has devoted himself to obtaining from the college the best tha.t it has to offer and returnin<Y to it the best that he has to give. He has played in class contests, attend~d social events· unarmed, and has looked ever for the good of the college. Truly, "Hen" is the fun-loving Rover o·f the corporation, 1and many families in Annapolis and elsewhere can vouch for his entertainment. He is the life of the party, and when he isn't talking the third member of the club is. Being a true Army man (almost Second Lieutenant in the R. 0 . T. C. and First Class Private in the Maryland National Guard) he loves the Midshipmen, 1and delights in taking the ste1lar role from them at afternoon tea-parties. For the past three years, and especially the last two he has worked enthusiastically and unceasingly to obtain some of the int~llectual advantages that the college offers; the rewards of his work can be seen in his keen wit ready underst_anding of things literary and aesthetic, and his appearance o~ the ''Dean 's list.'' We would not have you think that r~ouis is merely a "povre scaler "-far from it. His quick witticisms when on social conquesits, his appreciatic~1 and understanding o.f the better values, will dispel any ideas that "he laboureth unceasingly from morn till night" in an endeavor to secure "little Latin and less Greek." f -' But in the ·classroom, another man appears. He usually takes his work seriously and has never appeared on the dreaded black list. All his reports are well above the average; in his special subjects he has mted highly. Being a true Clark, he enjoys all that life has to offer, reads a great deal, works diligently, drags pretty girls when he goes to dances, is full of the St. John's Spirit, and is a likable chap. We shall not say, in clo·sing, that Louis will be a good salesman, an excellent te1J1cher, or a superb lawyer. But we do know that he will be an understandin·g friend, a just man, an excellent citizen. St. John's will miss him, Annapolis will miss him, but to all appearance~ his devoted little brother will shed the most tears at his departure. In his 0areer here he has the distinction o.f being the, second tallest and best high jumper of the five Clarks, the champion hors·e shoe pitcher, the sheik of Room 1, Randall Hall, the youngest in his class, and the second at every meal (his brother ·b eing first).

Who would have dreamed these words were written for him~ And yet, ''every man that blushes is not quite a brute.'' known to his classmates as ''Duff,'' to intimates as ''Lin,'' and to ladies as "that handsome Mr. Duffey."

But he is wise, and so his eyes still h~ve a dash of devil, though we'll confess, for faithfulness, he's really on the level. But you must see him to appreci•ate him. Here is an Irishman who says that he isn't an Irishman. Feature that! Well, anyway, he is our curlyheaded classmate from Denton, the good old Eastern Sho'er, and undoubtedly, undisputably he has no equal in his class for looks. He d•ances well and has a different drag most of the time, though we are informed it is a pity Sweet Briar CoUeg·e of Virginia is not nearer. Since he has been with us, he has participated in a little of everything. Though he has been inclined to gripe at St. John's, the old spirit seems to be creeping in him as a resu1t of very close association with the gridir~n players whom he managed this yea.r . He was awarded the usual l ette~ m recognition of his work. On class teams "Dave" has been outstandmg. Baseball is his sport. As a freshman he held down the hot corner, and now it appears that he will make good on the varsity. "Lin" takes a great interest in student activities. He is manager of this year's lacrosse team .and has arranged a very attractive schedule. He proved a capable assistant to Mr. Rogers in the Athletic Department, but a heavy schedule for "pre-med." work forced him to resign his job. He has made a fairly good record, both here arid at the University of Maryland, where he spent half of his Sophomore year. ~ As a doctor we 're to1d he's rivalling the best. Studies pertaining to his vo0ation he enjoys, and judging by his "A's" he'11 some day rank high in the medical world. ADIES and Gentlemen! Allow me to introduce for your approval I or disapproval the one and only living combination of Apollo, Ver- ~~J, non Castle, Coles Phillips and Socrates-Mr. George Linden Duffey, "Duff" has shown his worth as a sale~an by making a splendid record with "Pictorial Review." If he should decide not to become a doctor, life still has something in store for him. And now we're done we've had our fun and our lampooning's over. May all his years be free 'from tears, and may he live in clover; for now the days bring parting ways, and so with outstretched hand we pledge you right, for any :fight, St. John's has found, a man.

For four years ''Foxy'' has been with us. During that time he has made for himself a name as a Biologist, and as a reward for his work was this year made an Assistant in that department. With such a good foundation from laboratory work and study, plus summer school experience at Hopkins, our Annapolitan should make a good doctor. But "Foxy" does not confine himself to the class-room. He is a jolly companion and shows himself to advantage among the weaker sex. (His stately form can: not be helped; nor his look, for that matter). He takes in all the athletic games (to which he usually drags) and is thoroughly imbued with the famous old St. John's 'Spirit. At the dances he is usually on hand, not as a stag, but with a drag. De Gmchy has quite a bit of Executive ability. During his Junior year he was Alumni Editor of the RATcT AT and conducted a very good section of the book. In the capacity of Secretary;Treasurer of the Bible Class he has shown himself worthy of the confidence of his classmates. The least that can be said of him is that he is a lad well worth knowing.

However, it must not be condud.ed from this that it is ·o nly in science that he plays a leading role. He is one of Crowley's star French students (one of the highest compliments we can pay him) ; in fact, he ·a ccomplishes in a masterly fashion everything that he undertakes. Last summer he had the honor of beinO' appointed to a position as Research Chemist in the United States Naval Experimental Station. But what ·a bout his ability as an athlete? In this he is deserving of more than mere mentiion. For the past few years he has held down the mean position of guard on the football team. Due to injuries this fall he was kep!_ out of most of the g1ames, and who will dispute that the team suffered is a result of his absence from the line-up? Ori the basketball court he is a prince. Time and again you can see an orange streak flash down the floor and in a few seconds the referee's whistle announces the success of his clash. ''Crabs, crabs, crabs.' '-CALVERT I T st.icks up. What?

There are few men since the1 old regime clever enough to keep off the "black list", play three sports and have dates Saturday nights. ''Dick'' does it. He takes his man out on plays, tackles like a lVIack truck hitting a hay wagon, holds his opponent down in basketball, lops ears off the best of them in: lacrosse, mystifies the art class with his alliterative adjectives, majors in mathematics and gets away with it, keeps the women guessing, and the Lord knows what else, but-he will eat onions. You've heard of "the answer to the maiden's prayer,'' haven't you? ·sure, lots of times. Well, he's not it. "No suh! Deed, suh, dat's jus' -vvhat he aint, suh. No suh" (Apologies to William Jones, Esq.). He's right there before the maidens have a chance to pray, and you 're likely to see him; at any of the hops with what he designates as ''new blood''.

De Santis! How ~ I@ many times did we hear that old cry this year, a.n d was it not ~---~ ' because of ''Funk's'' faithfulness on the gridiron? For four years, now, he has held down a backfield positi<on and fought among the best for the honor of his school. Never a spectacular player (he mrely carried the ball), nevertheless, his associates in the backfield were always sure of plenty of room wheri ''Funk" led the interference. There are many players in other schools who can tell of his thunderbolt-tackling, or his ability at hooking passes. 0 "f(p I\' "Funk" is one of our few "all-around" athletes. When "Tommy" finished with him in November, he joined the basketball squad where he was a member of good-standing. And now lacrosse claims him as her own. As an athlete, ''Funk'' enjoys the popula.r ity due him, and wherever he may be, on the campus, in the fraternity house, or at the dances, he is surrounded by his group of admirers. In between athletic contests, movies, hops, etc. "Funk" studies. (Why the horse laugh?) Anyhow, he keeps off the black-list, and that's more than some can do. "The soul of a true Irishman." . "But I love him best of all. "-HENLEY ll HO says that Lady Luck is fickle? We might have thought so ourselves if we hadn't met "Jimmie". Never have we known ~ anytime when Lady Luck has wandered even as far f:rom his side as his outstretched hand, and we don't blame/ her-a less unassuming ·and yet better appearing young man than our ''Jimmie'' c·a n not be found. But "Reds" is not only lucky; he deserves his luck. None have worked harder in their chosen pursuit than he has, and none have shown 1Yreater willingness to cooperate with the other fellow, the coaches of the ~ari-ous sports that he plays, and the administration. "Red,s" h.a~ in him a fighting spirit hard to conquer, some of that old St. J .ohn .s spirit found in many of the alumni. Real, conscirntious effort marks his every move. Twiice in the past year we thought that we had l·o st our "Jimmie". Once we heard that he was going on the diamond with the big-leaguers, but to our great joy he was at the K. A. house when college opened. Later J·ust before Christmas, we heard that he had bought. "the dia.mond", ' thought that surely now we must sh a.re 11·im wi'th "her " . B u t and we to our delight (his, too, we suppose) that rumor proved unfounded arid ''Jimmie'' stayed here. I hear it rumored that this one of our Annapolis boys (he can't help it) is standing high in the l\faryland National Guard located here. If that is true, he'll never sit on Main Street with a cup in his hands. "Reds" is of:ten characterized as the "idol of the campus". Never was a truer statement made, for, in the "Rat>.'.J'.at B·a llot" published elsewhere in this book he was adjudged, by a. large, majority, "the most popular student''. U~doubtedly he realizes his. popularity, bi_it his modesty and good nature permits of no aloofi:ess." I~ is ~a~~ ,to predi?t a future for this favored lad. One thing is cert.am.

Then, too, picture if you can the violet blue of the gulf stream in a pair of sparkling vivacious eyes which are always teasing, a marvelous skin without a blemish or a trace of whiskers. A veritable Adonis, yes, this is our dearest "Baby Face" Gilbert. It has been said that he refused to pose! for Palmolive Soap in order to "Keep that schoolgirl complexion". Therefore, they had to get a girl. Gilbert is majoring in Chemistry, and, if rumor be true, he is one of the best chemists that have graved the portals of Woodward Hall. As a mathematician: he has out-ranked the best. Gaze upon this sturdy mountaineer from Western Mary1and and you will see why Frostburg is proud to claim hiim as her own. For four years now he has stood supreme among thel happy~go-lucky men of his class. He never worries or troubles himself; his congenial disposition will not permit it. Tirelessly does he relate his wild experiences with the weaker sex, "You know I could have kissed her, but" And then he took Gilbert's gfrl. That was two years ago, but his: boldness brought him into the limelight and his mad adventure still provides much conversation and argument between the two Romeos. But what has this to do with the proudest man in Room 3. Oh yes! Speaking of accomplishments, that reminds me, yes, it must be told, girls, he plays the violin:. And oh, so, romantically! He is in the concert orchestra, and very few church affairs -a re complete without his fiddle. And he ·very rarely plays second fiddle, either. Poor man! He can't help it, you know, the girls do fall for him, and they fall rather hard, sometimes. In fact, it took the other genius that Frostburg has produced to outwit him in this line. I am told that he strings the girls just like he strings the fiddle; the masculine touch will out, of course. Sometimes late in the night we are disturbed by 1a breeze not too gentle, but when Gilbert comes in we know that we have suffered a disillusion, for the wind was merely the dreadful sighing of the belles of Eastport. Last but not least, he can dance. Lord ! how he can dance. 'Tis a sight to behold,, this knight so bold. How does he do it? Can a man with so many attainments fail to rise? He is yours, world, do what you wish with him.

Ever and anon can be heard his still, small voice offering condolence to the tune of his rival's violin. And now we must give him credit for his. work. Though never a brilliant leader, he is not an anchor man, but stands well above the aver.age. Not particularly bright, he works for w{lat he gets, for sad to relate, he is possessed with a certain shyness and nervousness is a handicap in the classroom here.

This picture is pretty indicative of his usual appearance, always neat and trim, clean and pressed. It is hard to give a man his dues; in fact, it is a monotonous task to attempt ''pretty sayings'' for all the seniors, but we can not skip too lightly over our hale Western Marylander. "Curly" has worked hard ever since September, 1923, the date of his appearance at 1S t. John's, and he will be working hard in September, 1953. Often have I heard it remarked, if only some of the men studied as conscientiously as Clington, it certainly would be a joy to the professors, and the folks ''back home.'' "Erbie" gives all he has, in the laboratory, classroom, cheering section or gymnasium. Because of physical disabilities, he has not/ participated in a major sport, but there are few here who have the interest of their team, their school, deeper at heart than he. In inter-class events, he has occupied an important place, and is ever ready for sport. We rejoice at "Gurley's" a$socia.tion with the Church. Largely through his efforts the St. John's Bible Class has been organized and kept a live organization during the past few years. Such contact, in our estimation, to say the least, will certainly prove productive. Pa{le Seventy m FPI CER ! Shoot the first man who tries to associate "Koony" with Eastport. No! he hasn't a date over there tonight, though I 'f1m ~ sure some of these other pretty lads will tramp the bridge with Gilbert. Why this sad attempt to kid our German friend? I don't know, I didn't start it. I think it is all a mistake. This guy is as distant from Eastport as there is space between the "a" and the "s" 0~1 Wyckoff's apples. Well, it's not his fault. He (Kuentzel) would take economics, and Lord knows he didn't know what I know. In the short time that Kuentzel has been with us, he has shown an eager desire to bec·ome acquainted with his new playmates. ' The ''Everybody Welcome ! Gome In!'' sign on his door has increased his popularity twofold. He is a firm believer in the "sound body, sound mind" theory and every other day we behold him playing with ''Our Will.'' But, it is as a. listener our European friend excels, for he doesn't "bother his head" to speak until he has something to say. He is a true product of the old German school, and has appreciations a.long many l!ines. Art and music, I think, are his favorites. . Kuentzel is a serious-minded youth; and judging from the manner in which he has ,a pplied himself to economics, hi~to ry, and politfoa.l science, his favoriite subjects, he is sure to surprise everyone when he returns home this year.

To be convinced of his ability and fame, turn to some of the exquisite ~ drawings which embellish this epoch-making book. As Frenchie's work adds a sprightly touch to the practiical photos of this book, ~o does he stand among the Bab bits of St. John's. That some of the boys <lo not understand and appreciate '' Frenchie '' is quite natural, but those who know him and his inmost thoughts find that France has really sent to us a gift ·of the priceless tradition of art for which she is famous. In his portraits of the students "Frenchie" h as found the "indefinable something" that is peculiar to St. J .ohn's men. He has found beauty in common things. Though apparently young, the Frenchman seems very matured. In training, education and experience he is much ahead of the average boys of this country. H e has a real appreciation for art, music, etc., and delights in amusing his classmates by displays of his skill. There will be little consolation to be found at college next fall when there is no '' Frenchie'' to trip lightly o'er the green or to go in raptures over a perfect feminine form. We feel that " Frenchie" has filled a long-fel1; n eed in the life about college. May the Gods be kind to this young artist! Page Seventy -t wo Pag e S everity -three �Junior Class History HE Class of '28 is just a typical St. John's class. It is a product of the St. John's environment, so that it is only' natural that it ~ should differ but little from its predecessors. As in the case with all c1asses, it: has succeeded in some things and failed in_ others, yet benefitting perhaps as much from its failure as from its success. 'rhe usual amount of interest in eollege affairs has been apparent. As in all groups, there are to be found some who have the interest of the college and of their class at heart, while others have seemed to be indifferent. It is truly an ordinary cl.ass. • 'l'he present Junior Class appeared at St. ,John'~ in the call of 1924, possessing all of those characteristics for which freshmen classes are noted, and one might add, which upper-classmen deem it their duty to modify. The well known methods of modification and taming were applied. The college was stJill in the period of transition, the Naval Reserve was then being introduced, and these things, with the necessary adjustments which all freshmen classes have to make, went toj make up a very busy year. Some few members survived the struggle, others did not. The summer vacation passed slowly for some, quickly for others; yet the class as a whole was glad to get back to St. John's. It is almost needless to narrate the events of the first few weeks. The usual exchange of experiences, or in other words, participation in the well-known St. John's game, was followed by the question of "rat" rules. The class was about equally divided into two factions, one for, the other against ''mt'' rules. 'l'he result was! a compromise, a step towards the 0omplete abolition of such restrictions, and one contributing to the general tendency of the collegiate world. As Sophomores, the class had added responsibility in college affairs, requiring more than mere. acquiescence to solutions supplied by others. We can safely say that the class responded su0cessfully to its new duties. The Sophomore year is generally the deciding year, determining to a large extent those who are to continue their college course and those who are to drop by the wayside. The class had, at least, benefitted from its experiences in one way ; it had developed ideas and opinions and a consciousness of its own. 1 The Junior year finds the class terribly dwindled. The more energetic and capable members are burdened w~th the producing of the "Rat-Tat of Vision". We have every reason to believe that it is going to be a success. The influence of this, the third year, upon the class remains to be seen. ,_ ~ponzo:r ~unimr @lw.sz M[SS MARJORIE SMITH ROUND BAY, MARYLAND THE HrnTORIAN I Page Sev e nty-four Page S e venty-five �,.,. r:-""' ..II -•• Degrees W ~ E keep the t rees arou nd us, minding yet ,, \~ """'=' if The days when we were satyrs, nymphs, and fauns And danced t o Pan's pipe in the woodland lawns Crowned all with ivy, oak and violet.

E -ig �.• History of the Class of '29 fl class of '29 entered the new St. John's during a trying period of reconstruction. Out of the chaos of stringent reforms was emerg··. ~--·;.1 ing the greater St. John 's, and thus the group which enrolled in September, 1925, found themselves carried forward on a wave of somewhat irrational changes. HE The first few weeks were crowded full o·f the various details of entering college. The Nav·a l Reserve, which then had a romantic attraction for the freshmen, drew quite a few of the newcomers1into its fold. Then came the organization of the class and election of the officers ; ''rat'' meetings and pep meetings; and finally the revolt. 'l'he class which, for the first time in the history of St. John's, was made up of about two-thirds of the entire student body, felt that it had been unjust ly treated through the imposition and enforcement of "rat rules", or freshmen, as they are called in polite company so inspired by a few worthy upperclassmen, they all agreed to disregard such rules after a certain date. Of course this was a serious offence and the student council decreed that the class should be barred from particiP'ation in all activities on the campus-except classes. Then came the abduction of the freshmen members of the dramatic club on the eve of its first p erformance, the organthrowing, in which the freshmen were not involved except in the capacity of scavengers, the first ''Hop'' and finally Christmas vacation. The .first Hopkins game, which deserves ·a space .a ll to itself, was the occasion of the proverbial freshman baptism with fire. The day was packed full of thrills and ended with a- h eadache. After Christmas, we were1 hardly settled before the mid-year e:x;ams. were on and before anyone could do more than breath a few times, spring had come. Lacrosse, tennis and baseball were1 the featured activities of that season and the year ended wit h a smashing, crashing·, ,June Week, topped by the Colonial Club scriamble at Log Inn. The summer months were soon passed. The midshipmen returned from their cruise, the Collegians from Bet terton and the rest of the student body, from parts unknown. The first action the n ew sophomore class took was on the matter of new ' 'Rat Rules''. The men that thought rules for the freshmen to be unjust were now sophomores and with tJheir change of title came a change of hea.rt. The orgy whicrr had always accomp•a nied the Hopkins game was repeated, only this time we did not have the moral victory to· celebrate. On our r eturn from the Christmas holidays we found that there were but a few short weeks separating us from mid-year eXJams. However, the greater part of the crowd weathered the storm and sailed into the balmy spring with a n ew r esolve for a greater St. John's. VERNON P. Sophomore Class Officers President "W ALTER W .

The week that followed was a mighty busy week indeed. ·we registered; we started classes; and we gradually grew accustomed to ''rat-rules'' and Sophomores and Professors and studies (a few did.) As the days of September crept by, we found that our Sophomore friends were much different from, and much better than we had expected. But September soon grew into October. And on the twenty-second of this month, we, the Freshmen, organized and called ourselves a ''class.'' Samuel Phillips was elected president; Warren Stucky, vice-president; Ralph Guth, secretary-treasurer; and George Cuni:ff, member of the Student. Oouncil. These men have upheld their offices right well and they are expected to do big~ger and better things as the year goes by. On the twentyeighth of October, we all went to Washington. After being enlightened by some impromptu talks by Dr. Hrdlicka on Anthropology at the National Museum, some of us iwent to the Academy of Science; some, to the Freer and to the Corcoran Art Galleries; some, to the top of the Washington Monument via the stairs; and quite a number to the theatres. A great time was enjoyed by all. When October ended ( 'tis funny) November began. And November brought with her rain and rain and rain. During this month we plugged along steadily on our studies and at our ''rat-rules~'' And football became top~most in our m,inds. Many ' ' Frosh '' went out for daily practicce at this sport. There were even two who acted as assistants to the manager of the Varsity teaim. However, only one, Ed. Tur ner, of those "Frosh" who were interested in playing football, received the monogram. The others will be bound to win theirs within the next two or three years. When Thanksgiving came, many of us went home to enjoy eating turkey from our own tables. And did we eat~ Umh ! Don't mention it. And when we got baick from t h e holidays, we found thiat the calendar said "December. " But that was not all that we found, for an the " Dean's List" were the names of seven Freshmen. But the days soon slipt quickly by. Trh en along came the tenth and on it the Sophomore-Freshman '' Rush.'' Of course we did not win, but .w e had fun, thrills, and mud, so what did we care ! In the evening o.f the same day, the Sophs showed that they were good sports by removing the "r.at-rules" and making us once more, free men. In the inter-mural games the Freshmen took second place. And now, on the eighteenth ·o f December, we are all leaving to spend sixteen days at home, to eat some more turkey, and to see ''HER.'' JAMES WILBU R BARKER, II, Historian.

Naval Reserve Unit ~HE Naval Reserve Unit established at St. John's in 1924 as an ~ experiment by the government, has the - distinction of being the first of its kind in the country. The organization is very similar in purpose to the R. 0. T. C., which is no longer extant here, though the requirements set by the Navy Department ar-e much stricter than those of the Army. During the year three courses are' pursued together with drills that are . arranged with respect to the subject then taught. Such workouts as mwing, sailing, signalling and the handling o,f guns are accomplished through the use of the Naval Academy equipment. Many of the men qualified as marksmen on the rifle range, while a . few passed the sharpshooter test. The most attractive feature of the course is the three months' practice cruise which the Johnnies take with the midshipmen. In the summer of 1925, fourteen "preserves", under Lt. Comdr. P. V. H. ("Daddy") Weems, enjoyed a 12,000 mile trip to the west coast on board the U. S. S. Arka1:1sas. Several days were spent in Panama, San Pedro, San Francisco, Astoria, Seattle and San Diego so that western hospitaJity was seen at its best. The photographs give an idea of the cruise which thirty-three collegiate ''middies'' experienced last year with Lt. Comdr. Walker Cochran. The east coast provided fair entertainment at Newp.o rt, Marblehead, Po:dland, New York, Charleston, and Philadelphia. By far the most interesting event was the target practice held at Gonaives Bay, Haiti. The midshipmen fired the 5-inch and 14-inch guns, and the St. Johnnies feel proud to have helped the New York rank first over the Wyoming and Utah. ~ Page Ninety-four Naval Reserve Unit Second Class J A MF.S T.

Activities that sta,rted gained headway; others improved. The new spirit of aictivity is intensely pleasing to those who have watched St. John's fo.r the last few years. The Student Council ~ ii F(E Student Council received the spark of life from the hand of the new administration, in the fall of 1923. Of its predecessor, the ~-':!' Student Senate, nothing remains, be it physical or spiritual. Upon the opening of college in that autumn, there was a mutual agreement between Faculty and Student Body that the Council would have seven members, three from the Senior Class, two from the Junior Class, and one each from the Sophomore and Freshmen Classes. The Council drew up a Constitution. The next step was to secure ratification by the Student Body. Whether the Situdent Body or the Council was to blame has n·ever been decided. The Constitution, horwever, went on its own fo.r ia year. The inertia produced by an effective start was not to last forever. Some member of the .Student Body was quick to notice the slack in pace and consequently a Constitution ratified by the students was soon installed, with a ' few amendments. Since that time the Council has proceeded unruffled by the effervescent life around it. With a critical eye it surveys the college, attempting to deal justice and equality to whom it represents.

Heretofore there has been some controversy between ~-~ students and faculty 1n r egards to eligibility, let ters and similar problems in college athletics. Before this year all questiJns r elating to athletics were decided by a Faculty Committee on which the students were not represented. What was needed was a method which niight bring about a pro.per understanding on b oth sides. The S. A. C. has filled thi~ n:eed. It is composed of three members of the Faculty, three memben of the Student Body, elected at large, and the Coach of the sport that happens to be under discussion. The Council awards letters, approves sch edules of the varicus sports, decides eligibility questions and makes suggestions for improvement in the general athletic policy of the cJllege. Students J .

An unusually large number of musicians in the Freshman Class coupled with the intense interest taken by Louis Snyder in the symphonic undertaking, made it possible to bring ab.out this awakening. F'rom the very start, the St. John's " artists" met r egularly for Monday night pr,actice, which usually drew a number of students as well. At these rehearsals, the members and leader were very much helped and encouraged by Mr. Percy Cox, organist at St. Anne's, who interested himself in the musical endeavors of this small grnup. The orchestra appeared before Christmas at one of the Convocations in McDowell. It was enthusiastic;ally received by the Annapolis townspeople present as well as the students.

''Moxie'' Cunningham and ~ his St. ·John's Collegians have a dist inctive musical reputation throughout the St ate of Maryland and especially alon g the East ern Shore. This past summer season the band p layed a long season engagement at B etterton, Maryland 's famous summer resort-notor iously kn own as the "woiking goil 's retreat." Such p opularity must be deserved. On their return to Annapolis, they went. before the foot-lights for the entertainment and approval of the Annapolis p ublic. This act under the personal supervision of "Moxie" Cunningham, was a huge success before packed houses. Bookings have been made for th eatres in nearby cit ies. I 1 Y es, this band has a policy-or rather " Moxie's " policy- and that is "cold cash". Although the college benefits through the or chestra's reput ation both in Annapolis and outside, the band receives no support from the college. In spite of this, studies have the right of way, t herefore intellectual brilliance is the init ial essential for membership in ' ' Moxie's'' band.

The four upper-classmen, as stated, are related, but they have unquestionably accepted Irving by virt ue 6£ his good name. ~I) ~ The Club has the worthy purpose of fostering the social pleasures of the five Clarks in college ; it has been successful in maintaining peace among the diverse characters of its members. The entire c1an turned out for football and did r emarkably well as ''scrubs''. The Clarks are thorough advocates for bigger and betterj familirn, and they hope that, in the future, ihere will be more r eal "fraternities" at St. John's. As a matter of comment, the Club has •agreed that '' C ' ' is the lowest grade to which any one of them might stoop.

Alpha Order has in no w•a y been impeded by its youth. Rather has it profited by it. A need for another club was felt prior to the founding of Beta Mu Chapter, by all who were interested in the welfare of Saint John's. Consequently in 1913, when efforts were expended for the establishment of Phi Mu Theta Local, success was immediate. Within the space of three years the local had grown to be an important factor in the college life. Its command of respect was known to all. Thus in 1916 the germ of generation bore fruit. After carefully surveying the field of nahonal college fraternities, Phi Mu Theta selected the Kappa Alpha Southern Order. And since the day in February when the charter was granted both Chapter and Order have profited by the union. Beta Mu endeavors, as do chapters of college Greek societies, to follow as well as possible the direction of the Socratic "Golden Mean." We attempt nothing to excess and desire a bit of everything. Therefore, it is not strange to find in averaging the sum total of our souls that we are students, leaders of college activities, athletes, etc., ad infinitum in collegio. And in closing this college year, we would like to make a mathematical epitaph. We feel "en famille" that, we have gained with the Chapter that mutual sense of satisfaction and appreciation which the spirit of Phi Mu Theta has for the Kappa Alpha Ord'er.

Several attempt_s at starting one, which ~vere ~ made 111 the last few years, had each 111 turn become more serious, until finally the movement had grown to such proportions that the Commons Club was formed-the initiative coming from the Freshman Class of '30. The purpose of the Club was to promote social life and to forward the interests o·f the college. The forming of the Club filled a tremendous social need and attracted many of the serious-minded students. Feeling that the proper time had arrived for such a project, the members of the Club decided to form a local fraternity; and so Phi Delta Sigma was organized, with a wealth of experience and foresight going into its organization. Coming, as it did, at such a time, the fraternity met with marked approval on the part of the faculty. It has gone through that period of trial and tribu1ation which a new organization of its nature generally must go through, and has emerged triumphant, with its spirit and confidence fully developed. Now that it has become aware of its own worth, the fraternity is enjoying well-merited success in its activities, and its founders feel that their hopes have not been in vain. The past has proved trying, the present finds us growing in strength and development, and the future holds such inviting prnspects that we call" look into it only with cheerful countenance.

Resume of the 1926 Football Season ?. @J. KT. JOHN'S opened the season by a scoreless tie with Lynchburg Col~) ~c:c-~ lege .a t Lynchburg, Virginia. The Johnnies out-played, out-gamed, a:rid out-everything else, except out-scored them. Roseberry led the running attack, while Dugan hurled passes with great accuracy. Captain DeSantis pl1a.y ed a beautiful defensive game. St. John's, 6 Gallaudet, 7 St. John's lost the next game .to Galludet. The game looked like it would be a runaway for the Saints, when Roseberry broke away for a 44-yard run and touchdown in the first quarter. Dugan failed to kick goal. Gallaudet scored later in the same period, when Dyer made a 70-yard run for touchdown and kicked goal. A quotation from the Washington Herald explains the rest of the game, ''The St. John's eleven had the ball practically all to themselves from start to finish, but by repeated fumbling £ailed to score more than one touchdown.'' McCauley and Williams played a great game on the line, while Dugan and Roseberry were ground-gainers in the backfield. LIEUT. THOMAS SCAFJ<'E HARLIE LUTZ came back to St. John's in another capacity "== than a star athlete and threeletter men. He came back to assist Coach Scaffe with the football team. Charlev was one of the smallest and best "quarterbacks that has ever hit St. John's and he has done fine work this year with the backfield. Charley is well-liked and respected by everyone on the campus. St. John's, 0 Haverford, 26 The scoring jinx followed the team to H'.averford, where the Johnnies emerged on the short end of the score. St. John's inability to break up forward passes accounted for the large score made by Haverford. St. John's again outgained its rivals, making 11 first do wns to Haverford 's 8. Zouck and Zimmerman were the leading ball-toters for the Johnnies, and Fooks and Boucher played great ball in the line, causing the opposing team no end of trouble. 1 St. John's, 13 Delaware, 3 The following Saturday the team showed 1a complete reversal of form and trounced its old rival, Delaware University.

D eSantis started the scoring in the first p eriod, snatching a forwar d pass and racing 15 yards for a touchdorwn. Zimmerman scored the other touchdown on a pass from Zouck. Jones and Gessn er played a whale of a defensive game, throwing their opponents for r ep eat ed losses. Roseberry and Zouck gained most ground for the ,Johnnies. St. John's, 10 Richmond, 7 The next week the team took time out to ia ttend the Navy-Michigan game in Baltimore. On the following Satu r day, however, the team journeyed to Norfolk to play the University of Richmond. This game was a thriller. Richmond took the ball for the first few minutes, and with their backfield shift, made repeated gains tiftrough the St. John 's lin e. The Johnnies soon got the han g of the shift and stopped Richmond on the 20-yard line. An exchange of punts followed and St . J ohn's took possession of the ball. On the first play, Roseberry went around end for 35 yards. A little later, h e slipped off tackle and worked the ball to the 8-yard line. Dugan: took the ball over on the next play and kick ed goal. In the second half, Richmond came back strong and scored in th e third quarter . They kicked goal and the score was tied. It looked as if t he game was going t o be a tie unt il the 1ast f ew minutes of play when Zimmerman booted a 40-yard drop-kick, win ning the game for the Johnnies. St. John's, O Hopkins, 33 As usual, all our hopes for a successful season were based on the Hopkins game. St. John 's was touted with having mor e th an an even chance t o win the game.

The season was sh or t due to the inclement weather an d the early season, so the team did not get to play t he full quota of games. The team was well rounded with great hitt ers, gr eat field work and good batter y work. The p itching st aff consisted of Larry Bock, a righthan der and Roseberry, a southp aw. These two men held the opp osition to an average o·f four hits per game. Mike Br annan played his first season in the capacity of a catcher and held down the job well. Dugan, Davis, L utz and H oyle held down the infield , while Zouck, Wolfinger and Merrick cavorted ar ound the outfield in great style. After the second game, Coach McK ee was obliged to relinguish his position because of conflicting business int erests.

The relay team loses two of its members, but Coach Rogers seems to thmk that he has promising material to take the place of the men who do riot return to school. All things point to a successful season in 1927. T. JOHN'S put a lacrosse team on the field for the first time in four years. The team encountered setbacks, due to lack of funds and equipment. The team deserves much credit for doing what it did with so little experience. Equipment and expenses were paid by alumni subscription and by help from the players themselves. Coach Scaffe, living up to his old reputation, took those men not out for other spring sports and welded them into a creditable team. The team, though green, showed much improvement as time went on, and towards the end of the season, it began to take its place with more experienced co110ge teams. The team, in its last game, gave Mt. Washington, last year's natiJnal club champs, a seare, the Maurits finally finishing 9-5. An interesting Ridelight of the season was a game with the Onondaga Indians, who showed some of the most skillful stickwork ever seen here. The men who represented St. John 's in this sport were: Brown, Captain; McDorman, Jones, Garrison, DeSa.n tis, Miller, McCauley, Hammond, Keown, Clark, Drake, Merkle, Lowe, Helbig, Esley, Walls, Eisenbrandt, Gessner, Annarela, Scheidt and Manager Cupey Smith . 1927 Lacrosse Schedule April 9 Mt.

Sprowls fl HE title of this article, ''Cramming versus Cribbing,'' implies some common bond of relationship between its concepts even though the ~ logical comparative, "versus," is negative and disjunctive. At first · glance one might be disposed to read in such a caption a meaning not unlike the announcement of a football game, par example: Saint John's vs. Hopkins. An old pedagogical saw runs: ''Cramming is an intellectual feeding neither preceded by an appetite nor followed by digestion.'' To this timehonored dictum, (as with about all of its kind) I must offer objection, not to say denunciation. Cramming is a good thing, even hallowed. It is the way the human kind has always learned. It is nothing but a superficial and metaphysical brand of psychology that would now say that learning is anything but a task, or that its processes are comparable with the behavior of a bee in the vicinity of a honey-ladened flower. Education is possible through learning, and learning is a matter of adjustment which presupposes some felt difficulty. In order to make adjustments, to become reconciled to difficulties one must work. To be sure the work may become a habit, and as a consequence, pleasureruble. But given a novel situatio.n in which original learning, unaffected by habit, is to be the method of adjustment, the process is fraught with diversities of every sort. The learner graps his subject with difficulty; he approaches it in a halting fashion, and makes himself at home with his task only after many trials and failures . In con» sideration of these well-established laws of learning it becomes apparent that anything and everything that may hasten the end of the task, or afford even a temporary grasp on one or more of its phases is a good thing. This is what "cramming" will do. It is a splendid aid to learning. Every student knows its value. In fact he seems to respect it so much that he fears that it might be worn out; hence he employs lt on all too rare occasions-just before examinations. As to ''cribbing,'' there is no such word in the lexicon of a serious '' Collegian. '' The concept is not worthy of discussion. THE HARWOOD HOUSE Page On e F{ii n dred Forty-six �_, The Harwood House ~~ ITUATED only a block from the college, ever stately and proud amid gardens shorn of their former glory, stands this newest acquirement of St. John's Cnllege. It was acquired on September the 21st, or the year 1926, and once again looks forward to a new future in which it may again shine forth in a glory similar to that which surrounded it in the days of its old Colonial history. Two years older than the United States, it was built in 1774 by an abscure Mr. Buckland for Mathias Hammond. It is the supreme remaining gem of Th e facade is, wiothout cloubt the charm the Georgian period of Southcenter of the exterior. Formerly it was wWwut a stoop, the steps leading directly ern architecture, and most unto the carved doorway. doubtedly a gem which represents essentially a triumph of simplicity and symmetry over garnishess and confusedness. Walls five feet thick, ceilings high, and an atmosphere of congeniality surrounding the whole place, the Harwood House is a home, the product of a period when home meant a place to live in. The Exterior of the Harwood House, which i.s in keeping wi.th the best tra.ditions of Colonial m·chitecture. It seems to interpret the very essence of ease and dignity. The exterior is rather simple, being rendered charming by its sweeping perspective and perfect symmetry and proportion. The gems o·f the exterior Page One H uncl r e cl Forty-sev en �are the doorway, the window directly above it, and the aureole window in the center of the pediment. The doorway has often been honored by architects, whose drawings have not been alble to do it honor. A white gem in a red. brick surrounding, its massive oak door topped by a cobweb window, delicately carved litels, and hand-carved garlands of roses form a perfect combination. The window above carries on the same general design, and the aureole window must be termed a veritable jewel, reminding one strongly of a coat of arms. hand-carved roses. Th e room is not large and nowhere does its lavishness of decoration violate its home-like atmosphere, an atmosphere .which contains decided elements of stateliness and proudness. One cannot help wondering, upon viewing this place, somewhat about its history, and what legend has left us about it . Unfortunately, its fame as an architectural gem has overshadowed its lore, and we must leave much to conjecture as to the gay times it has seen. I t has been connected at various times during its history with the families of Hammond, Lockerman, Pinkney, Chase and Harwood. The Chase house, which stands opposite, was owned by a Mr. Lloyd, who was on good terms with his friend and neighbor, Hammond. ·when he heard Hammond }ntended building opposite, he was alarmed lest .his highly prized view of t h e bay and the Severn be cut off, and would lYir. H ammond mind building elsewhere. A happy compromise was reach ed when Hammond agreed t o build low enough so that Lloyd 's view from his upst airs window should be unrestricted. This accounts for t he wings, which some say Llo·y d paid for. Another legend, with a less happy ending tells of Hammond 's engagement to a young lady from P hiladelphia. Anxious t o bring her t o a veritable love-nest, he spent so much t ime on his house that she jilted him, being of the opinion th at some of the time should have been devoted to her. In the opinion of many, she cast away a chance to become mistress of the fairest house in America. The ballroom is repuete with hand-car ved decorations. T he border of the ceiling, the pediment of the d.oor.s, a nd t he fireplaee and mantel e.arry carvings which are works of art in themselves. The bricks of the house are of good texture, and have a fine color havino· been laid in: the beautiful and substantial Flemish bond. The windows ar~ unornamented and set back in their frames. The bare box-like outline of the house is broken by exquisite pediments, and a perfectly slanted roof. The wings are plain, and have octaginal fronts and are connected with the central portion by unobstrusive passages, all combining to give the house a low-lying, symmetrical perspective. One enters the mansion through a great box of a hall, the ornamentation of which follows the simple design of the exterior. The rooms are of good size, with high ceilings, substantial moldings and are all very plain. The upstairs.portion of the house is reachr.d by a stairway having plain balusters, and lighted at the landing by a lovely fan-top window. The show-place of the interior is the hall room of the lower floor, where the carver and decorator were given a free hand. Here door panel. dindow shutters, mirrors and moldings all received the same tasteful decoration. Here we see Lesbian leaf designs, dragon's head scrolls, egg-and-dart aiid bead-and-reel borders vieing for snpremacy with superb garlands of Page On e H ·u ndr e d Forty- e ight The gardens, which at one t ime extended almost to the river, were laid out under the careful eye of lYirs. Frances Townley Chase Lockerman. They were noted for their predominant display of beautiful boxwood and roses. Generat ions following were forced to sell ·a good deal of the land to keep the wolf from the door, and the lot has dwindled. Stories con cerning the Pinkney and Chase dyn asties are woefully scarce, so we must pass on to the Harwoods. The Civil War saw t he Harwood H ouse under the occupancy of William Harwood. An unreconst r ucted rebel, he _walked the twenty -eight miles between Annapolis and Baltimore, where he taught school, three- times a week, r ather than pledge the formal allegiance to the Unit ed States required of railroad passengers of the day. The last occupants of the house wer e the Misses Lucy and H ester Ann Harwood. Stories of the two proud arid loyal old ladies, who struggled t o maintain the Harwood H ouse in all its glory, although wretchedly unable to do so, are affectionately remember ed in Annapolis. Although they h ad had their eccentricities, legend has been kind to these two last member s of the old guard, and the final survivor of the two, ''Miss Ressie'' went t o meet her forefathers in 1924. Even now the spirit of t he Harwood House r efuses to die and rumors of the key t o a secret room having been found gives opportunity for all so·r ts of romantic conjectures. lYiay we once again see the lfarwood House raise its head in stateliness, arid face the world, as in days of yore.

I T. JOHN 'S COLLEGE retains t he flavor chara.cterist ic of its history. Th e students and professors live in houses of t he colonial type, marked by evidences of colonial culture, all having spaciousness and view. The student r esidences house relatively small groups, from thirty to fifty, with living-rooms and bed-rooms, two student s living in t hree rooms, each having his own bed-r oom and t wo sharing' the living'-room. These rooms lend themselves to. cultivated ideals, con tain their private libraries, pictures, photographs, engraving and prints, and afford oppor tunity as well as suggestion for living' after the manner o.f educated and thinking men. The lecture rooms and laboratories are well equipped for literary and scien_ tific work, are of adequate size, yet afford oppor tunity for intimacy between student s and prafessor s. A ll rooms seem t o stimulate a desire for r esear ch, an·d clear thinking. The p rofessors' houses ar e commodious so t hat their families live liberally and are able to encourage the students t o mingle with them. T he athletic grounds and gymnasium are so adequat e and inviting as to encourage students and p r ofessors each to develop the typ e of sport and exercise suited to his t astes and his physical enjoyment and healt h. Out o.f a student body thus trained competent men emerge for all the customary inter-collegiate sports and sporting contests (especially since these at hletic activit ies are directed by a well informed, high-minded and enthusiastic director of physical matters ) , thus affording opp ortunity t o give expression to the college spirit of th e stu dent body and o.f the alumni. The professors are thought ful scholars, inspir ing teachers, in touch with affair s and r eal m en. The old tr ees, the fragrant boxwood, th e ivy covered buildings ten'd to peace and tran quillity. This is a place wher e on e may do not only leisurely thinking but clean th inking . "B~ill in this outline with joyous enthusiasm, freedom from envy, t olerant mir t h, the genial f ellowship that comes from solid Amer ican homes and goes with young gentlemen of taste, and good h ard work, and perhaps one can visualize St .•John's. • H ERBERT J.

Page One Hundred Fifty-two Page One Hundred Fifty-thre(l �Civilization II GE.S ago, man, just ascended from the p r imordial scum, lived in chilly caves, hi_s only protection_ from the relentless ele~ents th~t. surged about _him. In the mormng man came out from his cave m search of prey, for h e was a flesh eater, like many of his animal brothers. He viewed the splendor of the sun through the elemental beauty of luxuriant vines and the many colored leaves of t he tall t r ees. H e walked over the green grass and swam in the cool waters of swift fl.owing rivers. In another age man lived in crude houses made of poles an d leaves. Still a flesh eater, he came out of his hut in the morning in sear ch of prey ; this time he carried a 'bow and arrow at his side, and was clad iri the skin of an animal that he had killed. The green grass had been trampled in places and paths had been made through the primitive forest. When man went t o bathe in the cool waters of the river he first looked to see if the bridge that he had fashioned from fallen trees and vines was still intact. Another age, and man arose in the morning and placed lengi hs of cloth on his body. H e wore sandals on his feet. His house now was made of stone, and columns with decorations supported the r oof of the house. One section of the roof was open, and beneath this space a sparkling· pool r eflected the bright rays of the rising sun. When man stepped from this stone house he saw other stone buildings, some with tall, decorated columns in front of them. Only in the distance could h e see the green grass, or the primitive beauty of luxuriant vines growing along· the sides of tall trees. Other men similarly clad greeted this man and they walked together to the market place, where there were still other stone buildings and cloth ciad men. Another age, and man arose and clad himself in a great, steel suit. H;is house is now a mighty fortress surrounded by forbidding mountain crags. Man walked slowily and clumsily in this steel suit and mounted a powerful horse, also attired in a warlike manner. Man rode a short distance through green fields to where another man similarly clad met him. These men rushed at each other in the presence of excited sp ectators, while the bright sun shone on green grass and tall trees. • " We" By BARTON W.

Man could not see the sun, for tall buildings obscured the light and black smoke belched from tall chimneys and hovered in the atmosphere like a primeval fog. Man descended to t he street from this dark, narrow room in a box suspended in a tube. Man stepped from this box t o hard colorless concrete. On this street long, r ectangular boxes carried still other dra:b clothed men to tall boxes with narrow openings that admitted puffs of smoke laden air.

Brown II HILE at Oxford Professor Ford K. Brown made an exhaustive research into the life of William Godwin. Returning to the United States the fall of 1924 to accept the Professorship of English at ~- -' St. John's, he resolved to publish a biography of Godwin, and his "Life of William Godwin," published by J. M. Dent, of London, is now on the market. Godwin, reared in a dissenter's home, had every opportunity for original thinking. Yet he showed no great promise in his early days spent as a minister. But the makings of a philosopher were there, and soon he was writing tracts and pamphlets. His first signal success came at his writing of "Political Justice," a very philosophical work, dealing with the general injustice of any form o.f government and the inequality of social org·anization. The book was intensely popular for a time, then, when English opinion chm1ged as a result o.f the unexpected turn of the French Revolution, its prestige waned. Then a profound change came over the life of Godwin, occasioned by his wife's death and a financial crisis. He was forced to borrow indiscreetly. At this time Shelly was a very ardent devotee of his and Godwin took advantage of this admiration by ernbezzlin'g from him 4700 pounds. Not, however, before Shelly had eloped with his daughter, Mary. The remainder of the book gives an intimate picture of Godwin's last years, spent in quiet study and reflection. An Innovation In Publicity Cl NE of the most forward s.t eps taken by the administration of the college during the year was the establishment of a full time officer as ~f Assistant to the President. The office is the first decisive attempt to maintain a department ·for the securing o.f new students and the handling o.f publicity. The officer is likewise the liason officer between faculty and students. His incidental work covers alumni organization and promotion, endowment activity, and general assistance to President Garey. The incumbent, William H. Moore, ,Jr., was formerly Assistant to the Provost at Johns Hopkins University, which office he held for two years. While there he was also Assistant Director of the Alumni and Secretary of the Alumni Campaign for Funds. He was graduated from the same University in 1923 and before returning to its staff spent a year and a half in newspaper work. · · An extensive plan for securing students has been outlined and started in execution. By February first, the student freshman enrollment for 1927 was four months ahead o.f any previous record and all indications point to a freshman class that will be larger and yet composed of more select students thari ever in the history of the college. An effort has been made by the office to bring all student problems and criticism of even the most minute importance to a central point where they can be investigated and recommended to the President for adjustment.
