JOHN ' S COLLEGE In 1694 the Governor of Maryland, Sir Francis Nicholson, suggested to the Legislature "that a way may be found for the building of a free school for the province." His plan was approved and, through appropriations made by the General Assembly, King William's School was founded in 1696 in the City of Annapolis. Of this first public free school in America, little is known until the last quarter of the eighteenth century when its status was changed to that of a college. During the administration of Dr. H ector Humphreys an increase in funds made possible the construction of Humphreys Hall in 1835 and Pinkney Hall in 1855. Dr. C. K. Nelson was appointed to th e presidency in 1857 and occupied the position until 1861 when the College was taken over for use as a military hospital. In a letter to a friend in England, dated October 4, 1773, William Eddis, surveyor of customs in Annapolis, wrote "The L egislature has determined to found a college for the education of youth in every liberal and useful branch of science, which will preclude the necessity of crossing the Atlantic for the completion of a classical and polite ed ucation." Accordingly, in 1785, the funds and property of King William's School were transferred to St. John 's College which was housed in a mansion built for Governor Bladen and now known as McDowell Hall. The dedication of the College on November rr, 1789, was a colorful one. A procession composed of the members of the G eneral Assembly, the Chancellor, Judges of the General Court, the city officials, and preceded by the students and faculty of St. John's College, gathered at the State House and proceeded to the College Hall. On the rostrum that day were seated many of the most prominent men in governmental and religious circles. The principal speaker of the Day was the Reverend Ralph Higginbotham who dealt with the "Advantages of a Classical Education." After a visit to the College, in 1791, President Washington wrote the following letter in response to an address made by the authorities of St. John 's College: To the Faculty of St. John 's Col lege: Ge ntl eme n:-The satisfact ion which l ha ve derived from my visit to yoyr infant seminary is exp ressed with much pleasure, and my wishes for its progress to perfection are proffered with since re rega rd. The very promising appea ra nce of its in fa ncy must flatte r all its friends (w ith whom I entreat you to class me) w ith th e hope of. a n ea rly and at the same time a mature ma nhood . You will do justice to the se ntime nts which your kind rega rd toward myself inspires, by believing that l reciprocate the good wishes conta ined in your add ress, and I sincerely hope the excel le nce of your seminary will be manifested in the morals and science of the youth who a re favored with your care. GEORGE WASHINGTON. At the close of the Civil War the College buildings were completely renovated and reopened _and the school began its activities under its new president, Dr. Henry Barnard, in 1866. Five years later the first class since 186o was graduated and the Board of Governors established a number of State scholarships. In spite of the available scholarships, the number of students dwindled and through lack of appropriations the buildings became greatly in need of repair. The condition of the College became increasingly alarming until the appointment of Dr. Thomas Fell to the presidency in 1886. During Dr. Fell's term of office, which lasted until 1923, important steps were taken in the development of St. John's College. Following a thorough renovation of the older buildings, new ones were built. The school became military. The registration increased almost two-fold . Soon after the World War, however, the school once again began to lose students and it remained for Major Enoch B. Garey, who became president in 1923, to restore the College's lost prestige. President Garey abolished the military aspect of the College and appointed a more enthusiastic faculty. It was during his administration that St. John's ncquired the Hammond-Harwood House, the Brice House, and the Pinkney House. Through an endowment from th e Carnegie Foundation, the library was improved and a more complete art library was established. The period from President Garey's resignation in 1929 until the appointment of Douglas Huntly Gordon in 1931 was one during which Dean Robert E. Bacon acted as president. At this time Humphreys Hall was converted into a science laboratory and student social rooms were created. The Great Hall was restored and new buildings were purchased to be used as fraternity houses and an infirmary. During the two hundred and forty years which have elapsed since the founding of King William's School, St. John 's College has developed into a liberal arts college where students for the most part are given control over the College activities. Today the College, under the administration of Colonel Amos W . W. Woodcock, continues its work more vigorously and progressively than ever before.

And so sha ll these creations of human ingenuity pass into the future, ca rrying with them a continuous seek ing toward a ri cher li fe, a broader li fe, a more perfect existence. The interpretation of these bottomless well s of kn ow ledge is the task of thi s department. The professors in this field are more than mere automatons, instructing only in accordance with a given curriculum and a fixed series of narrow regulations. They are more than unbending pedagogues, filled with the prejudiced utterings of one school of knowledge . They are gentlemen of the first water, scholars, humanitarians, interested in the student as a student and not as a mechanical being into which accumulated knowledge is to be poured in verbal torrents. The department has developed splendid students, and so long as men of this calibre remain as instructors, it will continue to do so. Ford K. Brown, A .B., D .Phil.

Purely intellectual activities such as Literary clubs and societies, you have shunned . Debating has suffered in your hands. Some of you have consumed intellectual energy in private reading or from dramatic organizations. But there has been no common, concerted intellectual interest. We have gone our way alone, writing for the Collegian, playing football or basketball, or gliding across the floor during a dance. But this is not altogether a tale of woe; if we have not taken advantage of what the College has offered we cannot blame the College. The fault is ours. In the College Catalogue we read: "Our effort will be to awaken our students to the questions common to al l intelligent men"-to have made men aware of the obligations and beauties of life; men trained to be criticall y alert and intellectually fearless; men who have been initiated into an understanding of the truth that makes them free.-Happy picture!

Also, Rairigh has won a reputation as a conversationalist ot note. During his college course he has kept his grades above average. To be born in August, 1916 and to graduate from high school (St. Paul's, Baltimore) in June, 1932 is itself a thin g to be noted. But that is not all : Schley also won his football letter and a choir medal at the same time. :Schley h as played in the band here since 1932. In his freshman and junior yea rs he took part in the productions of the King William Players. In r933-34 he was SecretaryTreasurer of the class and this year he is a member of: the Student Council.

Y.-his old home-town; at least it was pretty old by October 15, 191 3· But that's all shoved behind him ; today it's good old Lima, Ohio, garden spot of America. For Taylor graduated from the Lima Central High School in 1931, where he had played football and basketball and been active on the Student Council. A little over a year later, in September, 1932 Taylor came to St. John's. During his freshman year he continued his high school activities; that is to say, he played football and basketball and was a member of the Student Council. In his sophomore year he was also a member of the Student Council, but dropped his athletic work .

For the past two years he has been on the second group of the Dean's List. Not many college days have gone by in which he has missed his cue . As yet he has no definite plans for after graduation.

The council is composed of two representatives from each of the fi ve recognized fraternities, and together they meet regularly to iron out any difficulties that nuy ha ve arisen among the Greek Letter societies. The specific duties of the council are to detern'line the rushing season, assign rushing nights, and to see that fair play and the constitutional prov isions of the fraternity bodies are carried out to the letter. Their efficiency in this matter allows each group equal opportunities in securing members. Thus much needless disputation has been avoided. This year the Council has been presided over by Preside nt Woodcock who acts in an adv isory capacity , preferring to let the students work out solutions to their problems in their own way, thus making the Pan-Helleni c Council strictly a student organization. This attitude has made the members realize that their judgments must be entirely unbiased and impartial, above all favoritism to their own particular group. They thus realize that they a re not merely fraternity de legates meeting to further the interests of their own particular group, but judges called upon to see that all matters between the Greek L~ tter Fraternities are settled impartially and justly. This fa irness has been attained in most cases that have carne before the Council in the past few years as can be easily seen by the effectiveness and efficiency with which it handles all matters requiring its attention. As arbiter the council has had a hard and bitter task, but as the years roll by it becornes more and more the final wo rd of fraternal jurisprudence. ninetr·eight I 0 N s �Ill Ill THE COLLEGIAN THE 1936 RAT TAT .

Upo n the resignation of Irving K. Meginnis, who considers his greatest mechanical contribution to the paper to be the innova tion of illu stra ted feature titles, the ColLegian was confronted fo r the first time since the elate of its founding, r888, w ith the problem of electing a Sophomore, Jack D. Englar, to the position of Editor-in-Chief. U nder E nglar's editorshi p the Collegian adopted a policy of constructive criticism and atternpted to cooperate more fully w ith the student body of the College. Realizing the need for more expressive college publication, the Collegian nuintained an active Ope n Forum column an d endeavored to encourage student opini on_ Englar considers his g reatest contribution to the paper lies in its reduced size, a nd the rev ision in the make-up of its pages. Expressing dissatisfaction with the ex isting procedure fo r the election of the Editor-in-Chief of the Collegian, the Student Cou ncil fo rbade the ed itorial staff of the paper to elect one of its members to succeed Englar, and fo r a period of three weeks the Collegian was placed in the hands of an ed itorial board of four men selected f:rom the staff. The resulting. elections were throw n open to the vote of the entire Student Body, a nd Coulson, the present Editor-i n-Chief, was elected. The Collegian has endeavored to continue the policies of co nstru cti ve criticism and the ex pressio n of student opinion, and under Coulson's editorship has retained, a nd w henever possible, improved the existing journalistic style and appea rance. one hnndred one �Ill Ill THE COTILLION BOARD In the 1930 Rat Tat there is recorded the struggle between the Social Committee and the Cotillion Club for the right to be the official organization in the Col lege supervising social functions. The Social Committee won out, but it was pred icted at that time that we would see the reappearance of th e Cotillion Club in I935· Last fa ll , the Social Comm ittee under the guidance of its cha irman, Garnett Y. Clark '36, realized that the future held little in store for it in the way of forward progress unless it could build up a fund from w hich it could draw freely in advance of the dances for such monies as it needed to purchase those things which go to make up better dances. The answer to this was found to be the fonnation of a club which gave its membe rs a definite program of dances at a reduced rate in return for paying in advance for th e same . So the Cotillion Club was formed, wit h the old Social Committee as its Boa rd of Directors. The C lub rnembers were given no voice in the administration of the Club monies except indirectly , since in the future the Board will be selected only from Club members. The response of the Student Body was poor, many being wary of putting money in an untried organization. However, forty students subscribed giv ing th e Board the lead it needed, and we find those who had joined the C lub were more than satisfied in their good faith while those who were not members were disappointed in not being so. Among the accomplishments of the Club have been five outstanding dances one of which featured the music of Tommy Dorsey and his Orchestra, greatly improved personel and equipment, and making it possible to have a nationally known orchestra at the June Ball for the First time . THE STUDENT COUNCIL "The Student Executive CounciL is the governing body of the body politic of St. John's College" Formerly a powerless, unrecognized group on the Campus, the Student Counci l has consistently made advances of importance dur ing th e past few years to ar ri ve on the highest plane of judicial and legislative recognition it has ever occupied at St. John's College. From a group of men whose previous duties consisted mainly in th e penalization of students for infractions of the dining hall regulations the Council has assumed its rightful ppsition as the chief tribunal for the trial of students guilty of any collegiate misdemeanor. If the offender is found guilty the Coun ci l has the power of probation, suspension, or expulsion. The student may then appeal to the Dean who presents the case before the meeting of th e Faculty for fu,rther consideration. The Counci l has been given its power on the presumption that rules for student conduct should be enforced by th e students and not by the administration . Through judicious and fair ruling the Council has secured the whole hearted support of the adm ini stration, as well as that of the students, in its e fforts to curb unwelcom.e disturbances that occur on the Campus. Coun cil policy and procedure were aired and thoroughly thrashed out in a heated election fo r the presidency of that body this spring. Ernest Cory defeated his three opponents, John Somerville, George Kopp, and Parish Hebb by the respective count of seventy-five to sixty-four to thirty-seven to thirty-six votes. one hundred two one hnndred thr ee �Ill Ill THE SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA Since the time of the ancients, m usic has ap peased man 's appe tite fo r soul fu l relaxation and complete enjoyment.

H ere at St. John's we are extremely for tunate in having a Symphony O rchestra, a m usical group well versed in the funda mentals of modern orchestration as well as the wo rks of the old m as ters, which has developed under the able direction of Professor Adolf C. T orovsky into an accomplished organization, an attribute to the untiring ability of its director, and a cred it to the College. The fi rst concert of the year, g iven in December, brou g ht fo rth enthusiastic com me nt from a large aud ience of fac ulty me mbe rs, townspeople and members of the Student Body. The p rogram was extremely well chosen, consisting of arra ngements from both eig hteenth century and mode rn composers, and was rende red with excellent precision and sk ill. T he g uest arti st of the even ing was Ray Ba ine, well kn own tenor of Washington D . C., and the director was eq uall y fo rtunate in securing the assistance of several musicians from Baltimore.

TH E KIN G WILLIAM PLAY E RS The K ing Wi lliam Playe rs present each yea r a seri es of plays fo r their own am usement and the edification of the general A nnapoli s "public. A dramatic organization with a goodly number of successful alum ni a nd a long, va ried history, they we re fo rtunate this year in obtai ning the services of Dr. Ford K. Brown as director. Dr. Brow n early developed into the k ind of director who, as so few spectators seem to reali ze, is so necessary for a creditable perfor mance. O ther organ izations on the ca m pus have bloomed and fa llen but the Symphony O rchestra has become m ore permanent, more lasti ng each yea r. Professor Torovsky deserves t he highest praise fo r t he interest and success w hich has accompanied each concert, and to the m embers of the orchestra must be give n the cong ratulations of the entire Cillege. This year the Players we re a closely-k nit g roup with the same people appea ring in each play. T he membe rs included Lewin W ickes, Geo rge T homas, Tyler Coulson, Ashley Ogden, James T inda ll , and Jack Ne ustad t. For the fem inine roles the Playe rs were able to get M iss D uer McNair, M iss A ugusta Melvin , Miss Shirley Lindall and M iss Ge rtrude Krafft. For the fi rst play of the seaso n, the club chose "The Bishop M isbehaves", a mystery fa rce that gave W ill ia m Q uim by, P resident of the P layers, am ple opportunity to display his comic talents. Despite an occasional misfo rtune the play we nt along vigorously if not smoothly a nd was well received . Following this play, John Blak istone beca me p:-esident and the next show was Somerset Ma ng ham's "The Circle." T his was give n a professional prod uction and was co nsidered the most enjoyable pe rfor ma nce the Playe rs have eve r given . For their hard work in solving the ma ny tech nica l problems that presented themselves in the staging of th e shows, the P laye rs are especiall y grateful to the stage crew, headed by C harles Westcott, and includ ing Joseph Gray, William G ideo n, Russe ll Henderson, C harles Mosby. T he Pl aye rs plan to produ ce a play d uring June Week but at present the play is not defi nite. It is possible, however, that it w ill be an origi nal ma nuscri pt a nd, as such, w ill prov ide a fitt ing cl imax to a ve ry successful season . one hu ndred fo ur one hundred five �Ill Ill T H E BAND T he Ba nd , above all, certainl y dese rves its share of credit, along wi th the other campus activities, fo r its accom plis hments d urin g thi s academi c yea r. Starting the season under the double disadvantage of a deplorable lac k of ma terial and an all too obvious lack of student interest, the Band , un der the leade rship of Mr. Adolf C . Torovsky, forme r D irector of the U nited States Navy Ba nd, has acquitted itself ad mirably in its support of the College. D uring the foo tball season the Ba nd pla yed at all the ho me ga mes and reached the annu al hig h spot of its acti vities durin g the nig ht precedin g the game with Johns H opkins, w hen it led the fres hmen pajam a parade thru the streets of Annapo lis, the Naval Academy, and then back to the St. John 's ca m pus fo r the customary bonfire. Followin g the foo tball season activity the organi za ti on beca me prac:;tica ll y functionl ess beca use of the interve nin g holi days and examinations. W ith m uch d ifficulty the Band was reorgani zed to play fo r the basketball ga mes . Again it was broken up, thi s time by m id-year examin ations; and it was not until the m id dle of February, almost the end of the baske tba ll schedule, was it poss ible to again unite the m embers into a cred itable organi za tion . Since t he close of bas ketball season the THE GLEE CLUB Band has been in a state of lukewarm acti vity that mig ht almost be called lethargy. May the idea ls of th is grou p be per petuated in an even fin er organi za tion next yea r. The G lee Club was orga ni zed in November, 1934 and started wo rk under the d irection of Mrs. M . Talbot R iggs and P rofessor Geo rge Bingley, accom panist. T his club offers a m ean s of enj oyable and helpful acti vity to th ose stu den ts who have a liking for m usic and w ho do not play instru ments . T he fi rst yea r's wo rk showed success. The club gave two ve ry good concerts and there was a decided enthusiasm fo r continuing the club a second yea r. A t the beginning of this school yea r some fo rty students reported for rehea rsals but unfo rtunately this nu mbe r dw in d led fo llowin g the C hristmas Carol sing ing . Ea rl y in the yea r the fo llowing oflicers we re elected: Pres ident, L. Cra ne, '36; V icePresident, S. C hristhil f, '38; Secretary, E. H eise, '36; Libra ri an, T. Stankiew icz, '38. If we, w ho have lea rn ed by experience, m ay pass our lesson on to t hose w ho shall ma ke up the G lee Clu b next year, we wo uld say: "waste no time in settin g up a fo rmal organ izati on with officers and a co nstitu tion. Make the me mbership a little harde r to attain, therefore a li ttle mo re des irable. Each membe r shoul d be able at least to fo ll ow unfamiliar m usic wi th the aid of a piano. T hen, above all , let a n executi ve commi ttee plan a prog ram for the yea r to be ri g id ly ad hered to". We believe t hat the efforts of these two yea rs w ill not have bee n in vai n if the G lee Club of 1936-37 should reach higher t ha n that of 1935-36. one hnndred six one lwndred seven �Ill Ill KEY SOCIETY In spite of the loss through graduation of most of the charter members of the Key Society, the organization of Jewish members of St. John 's College has carried on the tradition established by its fo unders to " make possible a perfectly united and effective social group dedicated to the happiness and well-being of its members. The Society was organized in the winter of 1933 and has attained from that time to the present a great deal of success in its activities. Lectures, banquets, and dances have composed the chief part o£ the gro up 's outside interests, while this year intra-society tournaments such as billiards, ping-pong, and handball have been added to the list. These attainments have been fo llowed to promote the spirit of good-fellows hip and constructive acti vity among the members of the group and of the Coll ege. The high-light of the Society's functions fo r this year was a formal dance g iven at the Southern Hotel in Ba ltimore, at which most of the Alumni were present. The Key Society has not confined its acti vities to enterta inments, ho weve r, but has follow ed its origina l principle of exerting a constructi ve force in the College by granting each yea r a medal to the "o utstanding athlete of the Senior Class", a nd by selecting each year a suitable g ift to be g ive n to the College. Dr. Ford Keeler Brow n has been advisor of the group since its organization ; and last year Dr. Jacob Bernard Segall also accepted adv isorship in conjunction with Dr. Brown, a nd in the place of Professo r Myron Mclaren, who has since left St. John's . The office rs for the year were: William Gottschalk G ideon, president fo r the first hal£ of the year; Robert Levi n, secretary first hal f; Ernma nual P. Snyder, vice-president; Mortimer A. Seidman, sec retary second half ; and Nat han B. Cantor treasurer. THE ORANGE AND BLACK SOCIETY The Orange and Black Society is a tribute to the organizing ability of Valentine L ent z. Three years ago the managerial situation was a caxaphony of chaos and cross purposes. Then came the Society of the Orange and the Black, its chief purpose was to restore order, harmony and system , thus fos tering effici ency. Without thi s efticiency the athletic teams of St. John 's College had suffered for many yea rs, a nd naturally not functionin g at their best they neve r reali zed their potential strength. The Society of th e Orange and the Black is composed of all the managers of St. John 's College and is organ ized into fi ve departments; Football, Basketball, Lacrosse, Publicity, and Intra-Murals. At the head of each department is a senior manager who has jurisdiction and direction over one junior and two sophomores a nd from three to five ca ndidates . Supervising the w hole set up is an underg rad uate manager of athl eti cs assisted by a secretary. Then too, there is an executi ve commi ttee co nsistin g of the under-gra d uate manage r and the fiv e se nior managers. The w hole soc iety is under the direct supervision of Mr. Lentz, w ho, as fo under and Fath er of the orga ni za tion has g ive n invaluable aid. Wm. B . .Matt hews, '34, was the first un de rgrad uate manager and his fi ne and untiring efforts were carried on by James Hays, '35. Succeeding Hays was Wm . G ideon, '36. The seni or managers were as follows: Footba ll, Herbert Eccleston ; Basketball, James Brown; Lacrosse, Cy ril Murphy and Robert Lewis; Publicity , Richard Waters; lntramurals, Frank Gesse ner. Thus, adva ncing on a bas is of merit, effi ciency, and init iative there is always present a g roup of competent managers to further St. John 's at hl eti c teams on and off the field. cne hundred eight one hundred nine �Ill Ill THE ERLENMEYER CHEMISTRY CLUB The E rlenmeyer Club for the second consecuti ve yea r enjoyed a prosperous and enterpr ising existence . On ce again the C lub wa s affiliated with the Scie nce C lub of Annapolis High School and having leade rs with exper ience was co ndu cive to a bigger and better orga ni za tion . These yo ung scienti sts meet semi -monthl y durin g the school yea r and thi s season th ~ sessions were dev oted to lectures a nd expe riments by its own perso nnel. These ex peri ments were not only interesting and in structi ve but aid ed the Club in furthering its purpose, "To enjoy chemi stry as well as to study it". Such interesting subjects were discussed such as "The Kinetic Theory ", "Liquid Latex", "The Thermite Process of Producing Molten Manganese", "Fixation ot Bromine from Sea Water", and "Time Reaction s of Iodit1e and Starch". Discussion periods fo llowed each lecture at which time question s could be asked and subjects developed still further. Meetings were usually concluded with light refreshments and few empty stom.achs ever leh the lecture room. Besides the sem i-monthl y meetings in Humphreys H all the group took several trips to the numerous commercia l and industrial centers in the nearby vicinity. Several all da y trips were taken of which th e most successfu l was probably the visit to the Bureau of W eig hts a nd Measures in W as hin gton, D. C., at which time the f uture scientists had an opportun ity to marvel at the wonders of our day. THE VARSITY CLUB After fi ve years of nascent exi stence the Varsity . Club emerges this season with a splendid record of achie vement behind it and with definite possibilities of completed worthwhile undertakings of the near fu ture. Originally founded fi ve years ago on the St. John 's campus, the Varsity Club was reorgani zed las t spring by some of the coaches, together with the outstanding athletes of the college. This past year it has g raduall y demanded its rig htfully important position on the campus as representati ve of the clea n sportsmanship of which St. John's has been proud. The frequent meetings in the Quiet Room have always led to the betterment of the athletic situation at St. John's and through adheren ce to the purposes set forth in the pream.ble of its constitution adopted last year they ha ve molded a fine organization . The a im and purpose of the club is so we ll ex plained in the prea mble to its constitution that to do fu ll justi ce to its hig h ideals it must be quoted in its entirety: "The 'Object' shall be to maintain the hig hest ideal of amateur sport in the college; to help promote the development of physical ed ucation ; to encourage standardization of the rules of all at hletic games; to urge competition and participation of all students at St. John's in athletics . "To stand for a high se nse of honor, fair play and courtesy towa rd our opponents and act as hosts to guests, officials and spectato rs; to stoop to no petty techni calities to avoi d rules, or to take unfa ir advantage of oppon ents. "Furtherm ore, we purpose to help promote and aid .in directin g the athletic interests of our m embers, to develop a nd stren gthen a more substa ntial and practical relationship betwee n its members, the va rious oth er organi zations on the campus, and the Alumni; to foster Intercollegiate Ath letics in eve ry form in order that they m ay improve phys ical condition, strengthen the morale of the students and fo rm a constituent part of that education fo r whic h we we re establi shed a nd are m aintained.

To do just thi s and to stimulate and promote active interest in scientific subjects are the principal reaso ns for the existence of thi s splendid organi zat ion. With its objecti ves well in hand the Osler Club has fo rged ahead a nd done much this college year to create a n enthusiasti c g roup of scien tists. In the ea rl y fa ll the society had the pleasure of hearin g Mr. S. 0 . Burhoe, a graduate student at the U ni ve rsity of Maryland , who lectured on "B lood Groups ". Q uite fo rtunately other interesting speakers were avai lable, so the society quickly engaged Mr. Duval of Annapolis, who spoke on "My Hospi tal Expe ri ences in France", and Dr. James). Murphy , college phys ician, whose lengthy but welcom e talk dea lt w ith m edical ethics. Movies likewise did their bit to m ake the fo rtnig htl y meetings enj oyable. Each of the films ~ hown demonstrated perfectly some obscure point of surgery or biodyna mics . Each year seve ral of the facu lty members are in vited to address the organization. Wi sely Dr. Bernhard a nd Professor Bayliff were selected. The fo rmer spoke about the "C hem istry of Disin fecta nts" while the latter confined his lecture to the "Primate Families". Furthermore members of the Club, particularly Thompson Dow and Charles G ladde n, contributed to the success of the meetings. Socially the Club made several visits to Washington where scientific institutions were attended, while in Annapolis they were the g uests of Professor and Mrs . Bayliff, who entertained them at their home on G ree n Street. The officers fo r the 1935-36 term were: L ester A. Wall , Jr. '37, President ; Fred Alexander '38, Vice-President ; Harold Kenyon '38f Secretary-Treasurer. LIBRARIANS The Library located in Woodward Hall is the center of knowled ge for St. John 's College. This year there has been a general reorgani zation of the library under the direction of the head librarian, Miss Lulu V. Ebaugh and her assistant, Mrs. Norris Matthews. The new plan entails greater student participation in . the organization and general routine of the library . Miss Ebaugh and Mrs. Matthews head the staff with Mr. Albert Patrick, Mr. Edward Heise, and Mr. Edward Sommer, senior student assistants. The following men assist them in the work of the library: Mr. Calvin Horn, Mr. Charles Hyson, Mr. John Wagner, Mr. Charles Pea se, Mr. Tyler Coulson, Mr. John Somerville, and Mr. Hayes Bryan. The plan has received n1.uch favorable comment for it has enabled the men to receive help from students who are in the same classes. An important part in our college life, which some of us have neglected are the libra ry teas, arranged by Miss Ebaugh and her ass istants . This past year we ha ve been ve ry fortunate in having a g roup of speakers of exceptional worth, giving us pertinent information on everyday topics. The list includes: Dr. F . W. Appel, St. John 's-"The Ri se and Fall of Population "; Dr. Kent Roberts Greenfield, the Johns Hopkins University-"ltaly in Browning"; Dr. Joseph T. Singewald , John s Hopkins U niversity-" From Cape Town to Cairo"; Dr. Katharine J. Gallagher, Goucher College-"Some Recent Phases of International Politics "; and Dr. C. R. Th cm as, U. S.

Iglehart, and The Clarence Wilson Stryker Alumni Fund, as well as many gifts from the alumni, faculty and students . one hundred twelve one hundred thirteen �ATHLETICS II II �II I Ill RESUME OF THE 1935 FOOTBALL SEASON The 1935 football season ended the regime that Talbot M. Riggs built up at St. John 's .College for the past nine years. During his stay at the Annapolis institution "Tody " produced aggregations of high calibre, keeping the name of St. John 's on the top pedestal of the pigskin in the state . Included in this fin e record, the retiring mentor gained the edge in the famous ivy-clustered Hopkins series, widening the gap in the string of victories on the Johnnie side. Facing grade " A" competition in all of the games, the Johnnies were forced to take it on the chin in five of the eight affairs scheduled, one of the tilts being postponed due to the inappearance of Gallaudet of Washington, D . C. Maryland, Randolph-Macon, Elon and Virginia handed the Orange , and Black successive defeats to darken the hopes of the Riggsmen at the outset. The victory drought was ended when the American University clan bowed before the Johnnies. Hampden-Sidney paid the Annapolitans a visit on Homecoming Day to inflict another loss on the home books . The campaign was climaxed with a sterling decision over the old rival , Johns Hopkins University; this set-to dosing the career of Riggs at St. John's College. FOOTBALL THE University of Maryland .

The Orange and Black team succumbed to the strong T erp eleven, 39---6 on the turf at the Byrd Stadium, before a crowd of 4000 rooters . With the injury of Lambros and Lathrop, the Johnnie cl an was g reatly weakened a nd was fo rced to face the Old Liners with a green and very lig ht club. A surprisingly strong defense held the home team scoreless fo r, six minutes, when the first score arrived through the efforts of Sach, Terp fullback, w ho tallied on a spectacular run . From thi s juncture the Terps were in control of the issue, as they registered a marker every period wit h Guckeyson, Ellinger, Wheeler and Stonebraker combining their efforts to cross the final line for Thirteen points in the first two sessions, seven in the third and six in the las t. The Riggsmen were on the defense throughout the major portion of the ~:o ntes t, but unleas hed an attack in the closing period to ring up their only score. After a direct drive, during which the Johnnies amassed four first downs Koogle, Annapolitan end, accounted for the only goal on a pass thrown by Burns, quarterback, on a well executed play. tim e. the money play, Burns to Koogle, saw acti on and converted. The St. John 's sta lwarts continued to fo rce the 1ssue, but all was in va in as the Yellow Jacke ts showed polished defensive tactics to ward off the threats. Elan College vs. St . fohn's C~llege in Norfolk, Virginia: . A trek to Norfolk, Virgin ia to encounter the foo tball cohorts of Elon College proved d1sastrous as the home eleven defea ted the St. John 's club 26-o before 2000 onlookers Again the Riggsmen met a powerh ouse aggregati on th at was on the go for sixty minute~ with J. Stallings~ as "A" calibre back, the main cog in the lineup. The Chns t~ a n s held the upper hand throug hout the tilt scori ng in all qua rters but the t~lr.d. Stall.m gs a nd Shelton d1d most of the runmng chores. Tn the first period, the Carolm~ans reg1 red aft er they fo rced the Johnnies to ki : k and followed with a nice ste run back to the latte r's fifteen-yard line. From this junctio n the goal line was crossed and the pomt kicked. Anot her tall y was added in the second canto when Stallings we nt over fo r the touchd own with the point again added. After the rest at th; half, the teams battled on even terms with the outcome resulting . 111 . a scoreless frame . fh e O ran ge and Black m ade violent thrusts at the home goal, ch1efly VIa atr,. with Lambrose on the throwmg end and D eLisio receivi ng. The oppo nents bolstered the l111e works a nd held off the )ohnme attempts. T he Elon gridders pushed over two more touchdowns 111 the fi nal frame a nd tai led to add the extra points to close th<" tallying fo r the afternoon. - Randolph -Macon College vs . St. John's College in Annapolis, Maryland: A nine yea r record, dur ing w hich the Johnnies were undefeated on An napoli s soil, fe ll by the wayside when the powerful Randolph-Macon combine clowned a fighting St. John's eleven 14-7 on the local g ridiron before some Soo spectators. The visitors were packed with plenty of punch , exceptionally well in the line, and, wi th Jimmy Bair, backfield ace, leading the attack, they proved to be the superior team. After a scoreless first quarter, in which the Yellow Jackets hammered at the Orange and Black goal only to be repulsed by the defensive work of the home line and the kicking of Burns, quarterback, the visitors finally tallied in the second period . Two passes put the pigskin in scoring position on the six-yard line and on the next play Bair crossed the line. The extra point was added as the first half ended. The second half su pplied more thrills as both aggregations scored the Virginians getting the jump. Halting a Johnnie threat, the visitors took the ball, and with sustained drive crossed the opponents goal with Bair again on the scoring end; the point was again good. The trick play that registered against Maryland functioned again as the Johnnies made their points in the final session . After DeLisio recovered a fumble and then caug ht a pass fro m Lambros, the pellet was brought to the visitors eighteen-yard line . At this University of Virginia vs. St. f ohn's College at Chadotte.<ville, Virginia: The road aga tn brought a reve~sal to the St. John 's gri d machine as they met defea t at the hands , of the Un1vers1ty of V1 rg1111a foot ballers, r8-o, in a hard fo ug ht contest in the Vavaher s stadiUm before seven thousand onlookers. T he Johnnies played on even terms w1th the home team, displaying splendid work on the defense and offense, but were U;n~ble to benefit by the performance as they were the victims of costly fumb les and erratrc plays. Virginia drew her first blood in the battle by scoring on the play following the opemng kick off, through excellent runmng of McGrath and Martin. The former carried the p1gs~m to the e•ghty-five-ya rd line, the latter scoring a few plays later from the fouryard stnp ; the try for the pm nt was miSSed. .Ma~tin a~ain fo und the Johnnie goal line w hen he scored 111 the closmg m1nutes of the rntt1al penocl, afte r a stead y drive into the one hundred eighteen one hundred nineteen �Ill Ill Orange and Black territory . The second period again found the Cavaliers on th~ defensive while the Riggsmen reeled off first downs in quick order. Fumbles and mtercepted passes ruined the visitors' chances of capitalizing by their brilliant play thus resulting in a scoreless session for the Annapolitans. This engagement featured the grand performance of our line but fumbles by the backfield men kept us from scoring. St. fohn 's College v.<. Hampden Sidney at A nnapolis: Before a large Homeccming Day crowd, the St. John's College football team bowed to a powerful Hampden-Sidney eleven, 27 to 14, on the Annapolis field. The Virginians displayed a high powered attack centered equally on the ground and in the air. The Johnnie machine worked brilliantly in spots but was unable to cope with the Tiger combine. The visitors scored early when they intercepted a home pass and following with a stretch of line plays put the ball on the Johnnie one-yard line. They scored on the line smash and the point was added. The Riggsmen were unable to tally in this quarter although at times they reeled off good gains through the visitors' line. Both teams scored in the second quarter. The Tigers scored first when a long pass to the ten-yard line and as end run by a Hampden Sidney substitute ended in a touchdown. The point was wide and the Southerners were now leading I 3 to o. The Orange and Black retaliated with a counter when Wickes, a substitute back, gathered in a pass from Burns and raced thirtysix yards for the marker. The try for point failed. In the third quarter both teams were playing defensively with frequent kicking and small gains in mid-field. Near the end of the canto Stallings, Johnnie linesman, broke through the defense to block a punt near the goal line . A Johnnie fell on the ball behind the goal line and the home team scored ·a safety. The visitors were held scoreless in this phase but they returned in the final period to register fourteen points. Depending on their running plays, the Tigers scored on a few long ground gains and then resorted to their aerial attack for the final points . The extra-points were all good and brought the total to 27. The last St. John's mark·er was accounted for by DeLisio when he grabbed a pass from Buck, substitute back. The point was wild. American University vs. St. fohn's College at An napolis, Maryland: The St. John's gridmen tasted the first fruit of victory when they defeated the American University eleven of Washington 19-7, in a tussle played on the Home field before a crowd of some 3000 people. The Johnnies displayed an array of "A" calibre football in downing the Eagles, with forward pass attacks throug hout. The opening period found the two teams battling on even terms, consisting of kicking and small rushing gains . The Riggsmen broke the ice in the second period when Snibbe blocked the opponents' kick, DeLi sio recovering on the visitors' twenty-five-yard line. A one hundred twenty series of manoeuvers placed the pigskin on the Eagle's six-yard marker : From this spot Burns passed to DeLisio who tallied the score. The extra point was good as the Capital city lads were off-side. The Annapolitans added another score when Burns registered after a successive drive into the visitors' territory, through the sterling performance of Roberts and Hammann . Lambros missed the point and the Johnnies led at the half, 13-o. Opening the third period the Washington combine was out to chalk up a score but the home defensive wall was too strong, batting down many of the former's aerial thrusts . The Crabtown gridders were on the defensive and throughout the time ending the period the Capital boys went without a marker. In the final period the Eagles garnered their .first score when Dick went over the line following several trick plays; the extra point was converted. The Johnnies added their last touchdown through the efforts of Burns and DeLisio, the latter on an end play. Burns gathered in an American University pass and carried the pigskin to the fifteen-yard strip. On the first signal a pass was thrown to DeLisio, who together with a few of the rival backs scrambled for the loose heave . The Johnnie flank managed to retrieve it and crossed the line for the concluding talley of the contest. The try for the point was lost, the game ended 1g---7 in favor of the Orange and Black. Johns Hopkins University t'S. St. fohn '.r College at Homewood : A victory over the Johns Hopkins University football machine closed the 1935 season for St. John's College pigskin adversaries when St. John's won a 6-o victory over the Black and Blue Jays on Homewood field in Baltimore. The clash was contested in a 11eavy drizzle. A crowd of 2000 braved the damp weather to witness the Johnnies register the twenty-fourth victory of the series . The first period found the two teams battling up and down the field looking for an opening to score. The Jays kicked off to the Johnnies but the latter could not gain; they retaliated with a punt to the home team . An Annapolitan march was stopped when a Jay back intercepted a Johnnie pass. The session ended with the ball in possession of the Jays on the thirty-yard line. There was no score. The second period found the Orange and Black repeating the performances of the initial period . They marched all over the gridiron but were repulsed when they reached the goal line with Hammann, Lambros and Wagner doing most of the running. Hopkins again m anaged to spear some of the Johnnie passes but all of their progress was in vain as they seldom neared scoring territory . This quarter ended with both teams scoreless. The advent of the second half put new spirit in the Riggsmen as they took to the field with scoring ambitions. This was displayed early in the period when the Johnnies opened an attack that resulted in a tally. After an ae rial attack was stopped, Hammann carried the ball for a sixteen-yard gain . A series of telling line plunges put the pigskin on the Hopkins one-yard line from whi ch point Lambros carried it over for the only score ; the kick for the extra point went wild. The Homewood lads were held scoreless in thts period giving the Johnni es the lead , 6-o, at the conclusion of the third sess ion. In the final quarter the Jays filled the air with passes endeavoring to clinch the game. They reached the ten-yard line but we re held for downs by the inspired Johnny line.

Season: BASKETBALL Hurt by the absence of a tall and eHective centerman, the "Little Won G Lost IO Giants" took to the floor to give every opponent a h eated forty minutes of play. W on Lost was displayed when the Annapolitans tallied a victory over Washington College when Post-season: I - - - - -· Won 7 Lost This the latter was riding on a crest of a successive winning streak, the w in ca using the loop Il race to be ti g htened, ending a playoff which th e Shoremen eventually won . one hundred twenty-two one hundred twenty-three The con- �Ill Ill test at Philadelphia also brought out some fine basketball from the Johnnies as they battled with the Pitt Panthers to he end, losing out as a result of a Pitt rally . The engagement gained lots of prestige for the Annapolis five, all of which brightens the hopes for 1936-37. Coaches Lentz and Donohue did a splendid job in handling the cagers, developing them in time. Starting with a group of youngsters, they moulded a fine combination and have great things in store for the aspirants, most of whom are sophomores and will return next winter. The year was inaugurated with the visiting Hampden-Sidney club supplying the opposition, the Johnnies coming out on the short end of the score, 36-30, the victim of a "hot shooting team" that tallied heavily in the first half. This was the only game before to plug and in their next meeting upset the highly favored, undefeated Washington the Christmas vacation . College clan which was on the top rung of the league ladder. The Johnnies smashed their way to a sterling 30-27 win over the hosts before several thousand people gathered in Returning from the Christmas festivities the Johnnies journeyed to Swarthmore Col- the Sharemen's lair. lege and defeated the heme five, 30--24, in a brilliant game. The Lentzmen returned the same night to encounter the traveling Elon contingent the following evening; the Annapolitans were downed 24-21, in a tough battle which was undecided until the final whistle . 'Tihe local lads showed signs of fatigue because of the trip of the night before. In the next fracas the Orange and Black met its first league . rival , Johns Hopkins, in Baltimore, losing to the Jays in the final minutes of play after a heated brawl, 31-29. The Lentzmen met defeat at the hands of Mt. St. Mary 's in the Mountaineer's "bandbox"gymnasium, bowing 32-21, in a listless affair. Back again on the home court, St. John's easily trounced American University, 37-15. On the road once more, this time at Evergreen in Baltimore, the Crabtowners defeated Loyola College in an extra session, 29-27. After two consecutive losses at the hands of an Annapolis five, Maryland was awaiting the Johnnies at College Park, taking a 1o--28 beating on the visitors. On the final _ ~ Resuming action after the mid-years, the Johnnies treked to Westminister to meet the Western Maryland five . This was the most exciting game of the course, the Terrors getting the decision, 43- 38, after two overtime periods. The Annapolitans continued pf the season, the "Soph" aggregation went over to Washington and soundly trounced American University again, this time 35-27. With the end of the season in view the Annapolitans perched in their home den to greet all opponents. Their first comer was V,Testern Maryland who drubbed the Orange and Black, 44-25, through uncanny shots at the basket. To follow suit Washington College avenged their previous loss, when they trounced the Lentzmen, 39-21. These games were lost through the inability of the locals to make their "snowbirds' ' count. They showed the opposing clubs plenty of fight but were unable to function smoothly . However, they turned around in the next two games and displayed splendid form, albeit they dropped the contests, when they forced Loyola and Mt. St. Mary 's to the extreme to register the wins, losing 27-25 and 37-32, respectively. Both games were thrillers and those present were impressed with the exhibition . In the closing set-to of the campaign the Johnnies avenged an early season defeat when they turned back Johns Hopkins, 32-22. In the Olympic fund game, the Collegians proved too strong for the All-Star assemblage of the local city league, vanquishing them 35-25. one hundred twenty-five on e hundred twenty-/ our �Ill Ill JUNIOR L c A THE R 0 s s SCHEDULE March 25- St. John 's vs .

Among the All Americans were Angus Lamond, defense and present assistant mentor at Navy and Booby Poole, former Harvard coach, and one of the best attack men ever to play at St. John's. The locals held the ball about three-quarters of the time. The attack rode hard, and the defense cleared well, with plenty of speed. "Ham" Wingate got the first score for St. John 's during the middle of the first period, when he picked up a lacrosse ball and shot it close in . Charley Koogle followed suit when he made a shot after a brilliant dodge . The Orange and Black showed up remarkably well and have great possibilities. A notable of the lacrosse alumni was Paul Kesmodel last year's goalie. Kesnwdel played a wonderful game at goal, and was responsible to a great extent in keeping the score down . St. John's vs. Dartmouth College: In the second encounter of the season St. fohn's met and defeated Dartmouth College on the home field r 8 to r. The game itself was rather uninteresting because of the fact that St. John 's scored at will and indeed was on the offensive the greater part of the afternoon. Everett Smith started the scoring for the Johnnies and was followed shortly by Charley Koogle. This continued throughout the afternoon and ended with Freddy Buck being high scorer with four goals to his credit, followed closely by Everett Smith with three marktrs. A great deal of credit goes to \Vestheimcr, Dartmouth goalie, who repeatedly made hard stops within the net. Dartmouth got its lone goal near the end of the first half when Marshall, Dartmouth attack man, dodged the St. John's defense and scored on a beautiful side angle shot. The game was loosely played on the part of Dartmouth, although they showed good one hundred twenty-s even �Ill Ill every man tha~ made the trip. . Practically all the attackmen tallied at least once, Smith and Buck lead1ng with hve powts apiece . . The opening period found the Johnnies. re!?istering six goals through the efforts of Smith, Buck Hammann and Koogle who tallied m rapid order. The Metropolis lads were w.oefully weak on th~ defense and allowed the Annapolitans to score at will. The Johnnies st1ckmen play.ed strmght l.acrosse, neg lecting to employ set plays as the home defense was such t? permit the )ohnme attack to do so. The second quarter was a repetition of th first, SIX goals be~ng scored again with Smith, Buck and Kibler firing away at the net~ The half ended w1th the score 12-o 1n the visitors favor. Second half brou~ht the same results, the third quarter producing eight points scored through the shots ot ~wens, Eaton, D eDisse, Medford, Macmillan, Hamman n, and Sm?be. In the final penod the Orange and Black added two more goals, Medford and Sm1th sconng to bnng the final sum to 22. In this quarter the home club managed to squeeze m a tally to save them from a shutout. fighting spirit and used their body checks to advantage. St. Joh~ ' s w~s only able to show the potential strength of its attack, as the defense hardly e~ewsed . Itself. that afte~noon. However, upon the few occasions that it was called upon 1t acquitted Itself admirably. St . John's t 'S. Mt. Washington : Playing the feature game of a double header game at Homewood Field in Baltimore, the St. John's College Lacrosse team met defeat at the hands of the powerful Mt. Washington Club, 14-4, before a scattered crowd of 2000 stick enthusiasts. This was the first loss on the Collegians record, who previously downed the Alumni and Dartmouth College. The Orange and Black held the Club Clan in check for the initial five minutes of play, but. after Sutton scored on an easy try they cracked and allowed the Baltimoreans to tally at frequent intervals, with Guilde, Steiber and Turnbull leading the attack. The clubmen registered three goals in the first period and five in the seco.nd, to take t~e lea.d at the half 8-4. The Johnnies scored by rallies in the second penod. It was m th1s period that they displayed their real merits . Led by Smith who tallied twice, _Hamman and Wingate, the Annapolitans fought the home group to the end of the half bemg four goals behind when the whistle blew. St. John 's vs. The University of Mmyland: . In ~he most important game of the Lacrosse season, St. John 's was defeated by the Umvers1ty of Maryland at College Park before several thousand people by the score of 9 too. !he game was m~de even more notable by the fact that it was the first time since St. Johns has been playing Lacrosse as a varsity sport that one of her teams was held scoreless. . Maryland lived up to. its reputati~n of having one of the finest teams in the country this particular year and displayed. their splendi~ ~bility in all departments of the game. ~nil started the sconng for Maryland after receiving a pass from Ellinger and thereafter It was a successwn of attempts at the goal for the rest of the afternoon. The Johnnie defense men worked hard all afternoon clearing the ball for the attack but the Maryland defense was too much for the Annapolitans. In all periods with the exception of the third Maryland scored one or more goals. Maryland .had one of th~ fastest midfield attacks m the country, clearing the ball well on all occasi?ns. St. John s attack men, Smith, Buck, and Hammann were constantly stopped Had It not been for the brilliant work of McCully, St. John 's goalie, the score would. probably. ha ve been greater as he stopped twenty-six shots in the first half and an equal number 1n the second. The second session of the game found the clubmen in complete dominance of the situation as they held the Johnnies scoreless while adding nine goals to their total. The same stickmen that figured in their early assault on the Johnnie goal repeated their performances while the defense repulsed all of the Johnnie threats. The Mt. Washington contingent worked with near perfection and made all of the efforts redeemable. The tilt wound up with the Clubmen on the winning end 14-4. Although the score indicates a one-sided affair, the actual competition was much closer. The St. John 's representatives were a bit jittery and feared the opponents because of their big guns and splendid record . As the action progressed the visitors settled down and played spirited lacrosse to the end. St. John 's vs. City College, New York at New York: The St. John 's College Lacrossemen journeyed to New York and handed the City College of New York a 22-1 beating in a listless affair that attracted some 200 ~dd 9pectators.

The combination developed last year by Lieutenant-Commander Leonard C.

Entirely on their own they set out playmg a very ddficult schedule and naturally experiencing many disheartening incidents. Since this ori ginal in_terest was shown the boys were rewarded the following year by havmg the team officially recogni zed by the athletic council as a minor sport, the team playmg a college sched ule and being coached by Tody Riggs. This year ( 1936) the team became a charter member of the newly formed Maryland Intercollegiate Baseball L~ague and has made an excellent showing in spite of lack o£ experience. The status of the baseball team at present is difficult to determine . It is a member of the Maryland Intercollegiate League playing a difficult schedule. For the first time the team s hov~s r eal promise, with the spirit and ability to give any college team a real fi g ht.

At Home With one of the largest and most difficult sched ules in the history of St. John's tennis, the 1936 team with fo ur ve terans and a large squad of new-comers faced a strenuous campaign. This year the tennis squad was extremely fortunate in having John McCleary, a member of the St. John's Faculty, as their coach . Under Coach McCleary's untiring leadership and instruction, the veterans and first-year men were woven into a finely balanced team from the first position to the last. Belden Burns, Willard Ash, Tommy Smith and Lee Moore, all members of fo rmer St. John 's teams, formed the nucleus of the 1936 Varsity while George Ennis and Ed. Volkart, freshmen , succeeded in also making the first team. From the remaining freshmen many fine players are sure to develop for future St. John's teams. Because of an unusual display of interest on the part of the stude nt body the past tennis season was considered very successful. Organized as a minor sport this year the prospects of it becoming recognized as Varsity competition next yea r are very brig ht, for the fact the team this year realized its goal of establishing a name for St. John's in the field of Collegiate Tennis . Much credit is due those boys who daily practised and played without the prospect of a Varsity letter in sight.

JOHN'S COLLEGE King William's School, established in accordance with this Act, flourished until the Revolution, when, according to tradition, its building became a gunshop. In I 784 the Legislature granted the charter for St. John's College; in the following year an act was passed which transferred the masters, students, and funds of King William's School to St. John's. The College has, therefore, a tradition reaching back to early colonial times. The General Assembly wrote into the charter of the College the principles of freedom which have earned for Maryland the name of the Land of Sanctuary. . · A SHORT HISTORY OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE The story of St. John's College begins in 1696 with the establishment at Annapolis of King William's School. In that year an act was passed of which the following is an extract: CHAP. XVII A Petitionary act for free-schools. Lib. LL. No. 2. fol. n5. Dread Sovereign . . • . Being excited by his present Excellency Francis Nicholson, Esq.; your Majesty's Governor of this your Province, his Zeal for your Majesty's Service, pious Endeavors aµd gener.ous Offers for the Propagation of Christianity and good Learnmg, 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 most excellent majesty, by and with the advice, prayer and consent of this present General Assembly, and the authority of the ~ame, 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 freeschool, may be made, erected, founded, propagated and established under your royal patronage. And that the most reverend father in God, Thomas, by Divine Providence lord-archbishop 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 m~y be called King William's School, and managed by certain trustees, nominate~, and appointed by your sacred majesty. Laws of Maryland, Session of July z-9, z696. 19 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 : f 1 l i ~ I 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 honors 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 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. The " fundamental and inviolable principles " have been at all times maintained. An early map of Annapolis, preserved in the Offices of Administration, designates St. John's as the" Collegeall denominations." The College is, as it has at all times been, wholly non-denominational. �20 CATALOGUE OF ~T. JOHN'S COLLEGE CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE educated at this seminary are numerous and evident; with respect to health, as far as a high and dry soil, with pure air, will contribute to its preservation, or restore it when impaired, few places can be put in competition with it, and none can excel it. The sessions of the general assembly and the meetings of the courts of appeals, chancery,_ and county, are so obviously beneficial to those young men who may be called to the public service, or enter into the profession of the law, that no parent, especially a citizen of our State, should hesitate a moment to send his son, whom he desires to become eminent in any of the professions, to a place where he is the most likely to acquire those qualifications which will render him useful _and distinguished as a statesman, or afford him the greatest chance of professional improvement." During the Civil War, St. John's was used as a Union Army hospital. At the close of the war Dr. Henry Barnard, later United States Commissioner of Education, accepted the presidency. During his brief administration he reorganized the College to meet changed conditions. The years since his presidency are chiefly marked by the long and su~cessful administration of Dr. Thomas Fell, inaugurated in 1886. Dr. Fell, now President Emeritus, retired in 1923, after thirty-seven years of service to the College. His successor, Dr. Enoch Barton Garey, also President Emeritus, a St. John's man of the class of 1903, served until June, 1929. In 1931, Douglas Huntly Gordon succeeded to the presidency. Upon Dr. Gordon's retiring in 1934, Colonel Woodcock, a graduate of St. John's in the class of 1903, became President. The names of the former Presidents of the College, with the dates of their services, follow: John McDowell, 1789-1807; Bethel Judd, 18o7-1820; Henry Lyon Davis, 1820-1824; William Rafferty, 1824-1831; Hector Humphreys, 1831-1857; Cleland Kinloch Nelson, 1857-1861. (The college was closed for five years during the Civil War.) Henry Barnard, 1866-1867; James Clark Welling, 1867-1870 1; James Mercer Garnett, 1870-188o; John McDowell Leavitt, 1880-1884; William Hersey Hopkins, 1884-1886; Thomas Fell, 1886-1923; Enoch Barton Garey, 1923-1.929; and Douglas Huntly Gordon, 1931-1934. President Washington visited the College in 1791. After his visit he addressed this letter to the Faculty of the College: To the Faculty of St. John's College: GENTLEMEN :-The satisfaction which I have derived from my visit 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 mature 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 youth who are favored with your care. GEORGE VlfASHlNGTON. April 17, 1791. He gave furtheri evidence of his interest by sending to the College in 1798, his adopted son, George Washington Parke Custis, whose name may be found in the College records as a memoer of the class of 1799. In 1794 President Washington's nephews, Fairfax and Lawrence, attended the " school for grammar and the English language " and are inscribed as "Washington, sen., Virginia" and "Washington, jun., Do." in the roster of that school, which was printed in 1794 under the title, " An Address of the Visitors and Governors of St. John's College to the Senate of Maryland." Three signers of the Declaration of Independence, Charles Carroll of Carrollton, Samuel Chase, and Thomas Stone, served on the Board of Visitors and Governors in the early days of St. John's, as did also John Eager Howard. A fourth signer, William Paca, was among t_he petitioners for the College charter. Francis Scott Key was graduated from St. John's in 17g6, and Reverdy Johnson, Ambassador to Great Britian, in 1811. Founded at a time when problems of self-government were uppermost in men's minds, the College was, until the Civil War, a training school for many who were prominent in state and national affairs. The advantageous location of St. John's College became increasingly apparent. As early as 1841, David Ridgely, in his "Annals of Annapolis," writes, " The peculiar advantages to youth in being 21 i �.22 CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE CATA.LOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE perpetuate the memory of the French soldiers and sailors who were buried on the campus. THE COLLEGE TODAY Location. St. John's College is situated on a campus of thirty-five acres in the city of Annapolis. This beautiful town, so rich in tradition and in stately pre-Revolutionary buildings, is unique as the visible expression of eighteenth-century American civilization. Annapolis lies at the mouth of the Severn River, a tributary of Chesapeake Bay, and is not only the capital of Maryland but also the site of the United States Naval Academy, whose grounds and buildings have much to interest students of American Naval history. Within an hour one can reach either Baltimore or Washington. Students at the College have an opportunity to observe at first hand the houses of Congress, the Supreme Court, and the executive departments of the National Government; likewise they can become familiar with the great collections in the Library of Congress, the Folger Shakespeare Memorial Library, and the various museums in the city. Baltimore also, with the Library of the Peabody Institute, the Walters' Gallery, the Baltimore Museum of Art, and- the numerous concerts to be heard during the musical season, offers many resources to the student at. St. John's. Annapolis is in close touch with the Eastern Shore of Maryland. Ferry and bus connect the city with points across the Bay and with Southern Maryland on the mainland. The College Green. On the St. John's College Green stand many. reminders of the early history of Maryland. It is said that under the most ancient of its old trees, now known as the Liberty Poplar*, th.e colonists in 1652 concluded a treaty of peace with the Susquehannock Indians. During the troubled days before the Revolution, the patriots gathered there to discuss their wrongs. The Annapolitans assembled there to greet General Lafayette in 1824. In 1781 French forces under Rochambeau camped i~ Annapolis on their way to Yorktown. A memorial was erected in 191 l to * This tree, which is marked by an appropriate tablet, has been preserved through the generosity of the late James T. Woodward, Esquire. 23 College Buildings. ·./. McDowell Hall, the central building on the College Green was begun in 1744 by Thomas Bladen as the Governor's Palace. Taken over by the College in 1784, it now houses the offices of administration, the class rooms, and the Student Union. The :enter portion of the first floor is occupied by tl::ie Great Hall, where, m 1824, two banquets and a grand ball were held in honor of General Lafayette. F1anking the Great Hall on either side are the offices of the President, the Dean, and the Registrar, and the offices of the Auditor. The upper floors include class rooms and the Carnegie Art Room. The latter contains a fine collection of books, pri~ts, photog:ap~s, and textiles, given to the college by the Carnegie Foundation m 1926. The ground floor is given over entirely to the Student Union. Here are to be found rooms for the recreation of students-pool and game room ; card room · l~unge, in whi.ch the daily papers and selected magazines are pro~ v1ded; the qmet room, in which quiet must be maintained at all times; and rest rooms. Here, also, in the Student Union are situated the College post office and the College book store. . Humphreys Hall, built in 1835, was used as a hall of residence until June, 1929, when it was completely renovated. It now houses the Departments of Chemistry and Physics. On the ground floor are the Physics lecture room and. laboratory ; on the second and third floors are the Chemistry laboratories ; and on the fourth floor a large lecture room equipped with chemistry lecture table and at the same time a stage, which is fully provided with the ne~essities for dramatic presentations. Each of the instructors in the Chemistry and Physics Departments has his individual private laboratory and office in this building. The Biology Building, on the corner of College A venue and King George Street, houses the laboratories and lecture rooms of the Biology Department. This building, which was acquired by the College in 1929, is provided with new equipment. Here also are the offices of the Biology Staff. Wo~dward H~Il, the College Library, erected in 1899, houses appr~x1mately :hirty thousand volumes, the nucleus of a rapidly growing collection that alr·eady contains many valuable books. Of ': 'I '' i ! �24 CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE great historical interest are four hundred books surviving from the library selected by Bishop Bray and given in 1696 to the Maryland clergy. Among the subscribers who paid for the books was Princess Anne, later Queen Anne, for whom Annapolis was named. The books were early placed in the care of King William's School and were a part of the school's property transferred to St. John's in 1785. The growth of the library in recent years has been largely due to the addition of the Ashhurst Classical Library and to the Marcus H. Bienjamin, the Samuel Garner, Jr., the James D. Iglehart, and other gifts. The Library was helped materially in previous years by gifts from the Carnegie Corporation. The Matthias Hammond House (also known as the Harwood House) was built during the years 1770 to 1774 and was bought by the College in 1926. As an unsurpassed example of southern Georgian architecture, this house is open to students of American history and the fine arts. The Brice House ( 1740), and the Pinkney House ( 17 SO), are also recent additions to the college property. The Infirmary, in which there are three hospital wards, fwct private rooms, and an isolation ward, is housed in a separate building just across from the College Green on College A venue. Here the College Physician holds daily office hours. The Infirmary attendants, at least one of whom is always on duty, live in the building. The Gymnasium, built in 1910, is equipped with a maximumsize basketball floor, handball court, running track, boxing and wrestling rooms, and apparatus. For intramural and varsity sports the College has football, soccer, and lacrosse fields and tennis courts. There are two halls of residence on fhe College Green, Pinkney Hall (1855) and Randall Hall (1903), in addition to the five fraternity houses of the College. Randall Hall contains the College dining hall. On the southern side of the College Green is the State Memorial Hall of Records, which houses the office of the State Land Commissioner and the State archives. The· Bachelor of Arts Course. St. John's is a non-sectarian college for men. The purpose of the College is expressed in the charter granted originally to :King CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE 25 William's School as "the education of youth in good letters and manners." To this end the College offers courses in the liberal arts and sciences leading to the degree of Bachelor of Arts. This degree covers the work formerly covered by the degree of Bachelor of. Science, and is accepted by institutions of advanced learning wherever that degree used to be required. Professional Preparation. Primarily a college of liberal arts, St. John's prepares its graduates to enter professional schools. The degree from St John's is recognized everywhere by graduate schools, and in many cases work taken at St. John's is accepted for advanced standing at these institutions. The specific courses which . a student should take to prepare himself for graduate study in any department are indicated to some extent by the requirements for majors, described hereafter. The Faculty will be glad to entertain further inquiries, and to furnish information concerning preparation for any profession. For those who are interested, the following information may be offered here : Medicine. At St. John's, a specially planned program has been arranged for students who wish to go into medicine. This program, the essentials of which may be completed in two years, includes the work designated by the Council on Medical Education of the American Medical Association as the basic requirement for entrance into class A medical schools. Admission may be gained to some schools of medicine on the basis of the two-year course. The leading medical schools of the country, however, require more than the accepted minimum : they expect not only a grounding in the biological and physico-chemical sciences but also a broad and liberal general foundation. They recommend especially a thorough training in the use of the English language for the clear and accurate expression of ideas. The best medical schools require the bachelor's degree for admission. St. John's students are strongly urged to spend at least three and preferably four years in preparation since, in four years, they can secure a thorough training which will fit them for entrance into any medical school in the United States. Each student is urged to choose as early as possible the medical school which he desires to enter so that he can fulfill its special �CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE CATALOGUE OF ST.

A series of lectures and concerts, arranged to come at intervals throughout the year, is given, usually, in McDowell Hall. Although they are intended primarily for students, these occasional affairs are open to the friends of the College. The program of lectures for 1934-35 included Dr. R. T. H. Halsey on "Mount Vernon As Washington Knew It"; General John Philip Hill, "The Constitution: Protecto.r of Life, Liberty, and Property"; Dr. N. Bryllion Fagin, "Modern Tendencies in American Drama"; and Dr. Leonard B. White, "Civil Service As A Career for College Men." Piano recitals were presented by ·Austin Conradi and Amos Allen. Dr. Richard Kuehnemund, of the St. John's faculty, and Joseph M. Florestano, a recent St. John's graduate, gave an evening of piano and vocal music. Guest artists appeared also with the St. John's Symphony Orchestra, which presented three concerts during the year. Lectures on topics of current interest, by prominent authorities, are given throughout the year, on Friday evenings, at the United States Naval Academy. Library Lectures. Important in the life of the College are the informal meetings in the King William Room of the Library, arranged by the Librarian and her assistants. Tea is served and lectures on subjects of interest are given. Students, faculty, faculty wives and friends of the College find 'a common meeting ground in the College Library. During 1934-35, eleven lectures were given-five by members of the St. John's faculty and six by guest speakers. The program of lectures was as follows: Professor C. W. Stryker, " Old Maps and Ships "; Dr. .Ford K. Brown, "Victorianism before Victoria"; Dr. Richard Kuehnemund, "The Development of the Faust Legend"; Dr. Frederic Nelson, of the editorial staff of the Baltimore Sun, "Survival of Liberty"; Dr. Knight Dunlap, Professor of, Psychology at the Johns Hopkins University, " Some Phases of Psychology"; Professor John S.

Howard, "The Influence of Japan in the Far East"; Mrs. Elizabeth Forman Lewis, "The Influence of Literature on Chinese Life"; and Mr. Melvin Hall, the Chief of the Eastern Section of the Bureau of Foreign Trade, "Adventures in the Near East." There are at St. John's four national fraternities, Phi Sigma Kappa, Kappa Alpha (Southern), Alpha Kappa Pi, and Sigma Alpha Epsilon, and two local fraternities, Delta Psi Omega and the Key Society. From one-third to one-half of the students are fraternity men. Student Activities. Honorary Societies. The College encourages students to take part in activities outside the curriculum. New student organizations must receive the approval of the Dean. 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. This Council, which meets weekly, has supervision particularly over questions of student conduct. A representative from each dormitory and from each fraternity comprise its membership. Officers for the year 1935-36 are: Thomas Warren Chandlee, '36, ~resi­ dent; Ralph Murray Schley, '36, Secretary. Fraternities. Delta Kappa Phi, an honorary scholastic society, recognizes high scholarship by electing to membership those Juniors who have been in the first group of the Rank List at the end of their Freshman and Sophomore years, and at mid-year of their Junior year; and those Seniors who have been in the first or second groups of the Rank List at the end of their Freshman, Sophomore, and Junior years, and at mid-year of their Senior year, and who have been in the first group in at least two of these periods. Delta Omicron, another honorary organization, recognizes the . student's participation in extra-curricular activities. A point systerri devised by this fraternity evaluates the worth of each position or membership held by the student. Clubs. Athletics. Varsity schedules are played in football, basketball, and lacrosse; informal games, in baseball and tennis. The students also engage in cross-country running, track, boxing, fencing, and wrestling, although intercollegiate schedu.les are not maintained in all of these sports. Two athletic fields provide facilities for outdoor athletics. Indoor sports are held in a new and well-equipped gymnasium. All College students in good standing are permitted to. engage in varsity sports. Publications. The members of the Junior Class publish a year-book,_ The RatTat. The Collegian is a newspaper published by the undergraduates. At St. John's the student publications are free from faculty control.

Purnell, '23, Vice-President; Mr. Max Glickman, '35, Secretary; and Mr. Robert F. Duer, Jr., ex-'22, Treasurer. The headquarters of the Association are at St. John's College. Local associations are organized throughout the country. i Routine of Admission. Application for admission should be filed by every candidate as early as possible in the yeM in which he hopes to enter. On the application form, supplied by the Registrar upon request, the candidate should furnish the names of the schools he has attended, and the names of perso1;1s who can submit testimonials concerning his character. It is customary for the Registrar to write directly to the principal of each school for a recommendation of the student and a transcript of the student's record. The Registrar writes also to the other persons who can certify to the applicant's character and personality. As soon as all credentials have been secured the candidate's record is considered and appraised; and as promptly as possible thereafter the applicant is notified of the action taken concerning his admission. Since considerable time may be spent in securing the proper credentials, it is desirable that application blanks, fully filled in, should be filed early, preferably before June first. Requirements for Admission. The general requirement for admission is the standard four-year high-school course, or its equivalent. More specifically, the requirement calls for ( 1) the recommendation of the school principal or head master, and (2) fifteen units of acceptable work of secondaryschool level. A unit of entrance credit in any subject except English represents four or five school periods of work a week for approximately thirty-six weeks; in other words, a full year's work in a seco1;1dary school. In English a unit is more than a full year's work, four years of work being valued as three entrance units. For a list of the subjects and units specifically required, see the " Summary of Subjects Which May Be Offered for Admission." Admission by Certificate. , Graduates of accredited high schools, private schools, academies, and preparatory schools are admitted without examination if the transcripts of their records cover fully the fifteen units required for admission. 2 �33 CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE Admission by Examination. When there is doubt about the adequacy of an applicant's preparation, he may be required to take entrance examinations. Candi-. dates who present less than fifteen units of entrance credit will be required to complete the conditions for regular admission in good standing by taking appropriate examinations. Candidates whose previous schoolillg has been interrupted or irregular, candidates who desire credit for private study or for vocational subjects, and candidates who graduated from high school a number of years before seeking admission, may be required to take examinations, or may be admitted as special students, or may be admitted on trial, depending on the circumstances. Entrance examinations may be taken in June, under the College Entrance Examination Board, at any one of the many places where the Board examinations are given in the United States and abroad ; or examinations may be taken at the College in September, on the days indicated in the College Calendar. Students who expect to take the College examinations should communicate with the Registrar, who will furnish information about them. Students who expect to take the examinations of the College Entrance Examination Board should make application by mail to the Secretary of that Board at 431 West rr7th Street, New York City. The Registrar of the College will be glad to help any student to arrange for either kind of examination. general average of C at the en.d of the second year,* and have completed the requirements for promotion to the Junior Class, they will be given full Junior rating and will be allowed to continue in college. Students who have graduated from an approved college may also be admitted as special students, but not as candidates for graduate degrees. 32 Admission on Trial. Occasionally St. John's College admits "on trial" a limited number of applicants whose school work has been of a standard below that required by their principals for unqualified recommendation, but who give evidence of sufficient ability and determination to do satisfactory college work. Students who are admitted on trial are told, at the time of admission, exactly what prescriptions they must fulfill in order to make up their deficiencies. As soon as these prescriptions are fulfilled and the student has presented a satisfactory record in his college work, he is relieved from the" on trial" restriction and is placed in good standing. Admission as Special Students. Exceptional students who lack the requisite entrance units may be admitted as special students. If such students have attained a Summary of Subjects Which May: Be Offered for Admission. For admission in good standing t a candidate must present fifteen units of college entrance credit in the subjects listed below: English: Four years of work are required. This work counts as three units of credit. Foreign Languages: Greek, Latin, French, Spanish, German. Not fewer than two years of work (two units) and not more than four can be accepted in any one language, but up to a maximum of eight units may be accepted in foreign languages. Mathematics: In algebra one and one-half years of work (one and , one-half units) are required. An additional half-unit of advanced algebra may be accepted. In plane geometry one year of work (one unit) is required. An additional half-unit in solid geometry may be accepted. · In trigonometry no work is required but one-half unit in plane trigonometry may be accepted, and one-half unit in spherical trigonometry. Social Science: In history one year of work (one unit) is required, and as many as six units may be accepted. In civics one year of work (one-half unit) may be accepted. In " Problems of American Democracy " one year of work (one unit) may be accepted. · In economics one year of work (one unit) may be accepted. In sociology one year of work (one unit) may be accepted. *For purposes of averaging the mid-point of each grade-range in the following scale is used : A 100-90, B 89-80, C 79-70, D 69-60. t In certain cases entrance insufficiencies may be made up after the student has entered college. Such make-up work is an entrance prescription, is stated as such at the time of admission, and i.s entered as such on the student's record. If the work done in college in fulfillment of entrance requirements may not be counted toward graduation from college, the student is so informed at the time of admission. = = = = �34 CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S·COLLEGE CATALOGUE OFST. JOHN'S COLLEGE Science: Unless the student has passed in his school work at least one full year of science (one unit) in which he has himself performed the laboratory work, he will be required to elect one full science course in college. One year of work (one unit) may be accepted in biology, botany, zoology, physics, chemistry, general science, physical geography, and (in special cases) in some other science. PROCEDURE FOR NEW STUDENTS Routine of Admission. See "Admission." Drawing: One year of work (one-half unit) in free-hand drawing and one year of work (one-half unit) in mechanical drawing may be accepted. Admission of Students from Other Colleges. Students who traqsfer to St. John's from other colleges and universities should file applications for admission similar to those filed by other new students. The routine of admission is the same as that followed in admitting high school graduates, but the student's college record, not his high school record, furnishes the basis for admission. Official statements must be submitted from the institutions which he has attended, showing his status at the time of transfer and a list of the courses he has pursued, with the grades attained. Advanced Standing. Students who transfer from approved collegiate institutions may petition for advanced standing on the basis of the college courses they have taken and passed. In controversial cases examinations may be required before advanced standing can be granted. 35 • 1' ~- ·.~ Residence Assignments at the College. All students not living at home. are required to live in College buildings (all fraternities are housed in College buildings) and to take their meals in the College dining hall. The associations brought about by residence at the College are an essential part of college life. Most of the rooms in the residence halls are arranged so that two students may live together. A few rooms are arranged for three students. Freshmen are assigned to rooms in the dormitories in. the order of their acceptance by the Committee on Admission. They are urged to indicate on their applications for admission the names of other students with whom they would like to live. Students who have no acquaintances at the College are given tentative assignments which are subject to change after the student arrives at the College. It should be noted that no room assignment can be made and no reservation held until the candidate for admission has paid to the College his matriculation fee of fifteen dollars. Room Furnishings. Each dormitory room is provided with the necessary furniture, including a single bed with mattress and pillow, a chiffonier, a study table, and chairs. Towels, bed linen, and blankets are to be supplied by the student, as are also such decorations as window draperies, dresser scarfs, and rugs. The student should consult his incoming room mate before decorating his room. The College maintains the care of the room. Arrival at the College. The residence halls and the dining room are ordinarily closed to students until noon of the Saturday preceding the opening of College. Students usually arrive on Monday of opening week. All students. both new and old, are required to register for their �36 CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE courses on Tuesday (registration day), and to attend thereafter such academic exercises as they may have. The regular academic engagements are listed in the College Calendar, which thus gives to old as well as to new students a notice of when to come to College. Special academic functions are announced by occasional notices. 37 FEES Matriculation Fee. For each new student there is a matriculation fee of $r5. This fee is ·due and payable to the College at the time of application for admission. Since this fee covers the expense of admitting and enrolling the student, admission cannot be considered complete, and no dormitory room can be assigned or reserved, until it is paid. College Routine. The section of the Catalogue dealing with "General Regulations " furnishes much additional information for the entering student. Annual Fees.

SENIOR FELLOWSHIPS The Senior Fellowships were created by the Board of Visitors and Governors in November, 192R The resolution of the Board as amended. at the meeting in May, 1930, follows: For the purpose of improving the scholarship and elevating the intellectual outlook of the student body of St. John's College, and for the further purpose of making clear the difference between academic freedom as a reality and academic freedom as a mere form of words, it is Re.solved: 1. That there are hereby established the Senior Fellowships of St. John's College. 2. That annually there shall be elected at the last quarterly meeting of the Board, before Commencement of each year, not more than three members 'of the Junior Class of that year, to be Senior Fellows of St. John's College during the following year. 3. That election to the Senior Fellowship shall be made by the Board of Visitors and Governors of the College, upon the nomination and recommendation of the President and Faculty. In making nominations and recommendations for the Senior Fellowships the President and Faculty shall take into consideration, and be guided by, not merely the academic grades attained by the students during the first three years of their course, though due weight shall be given to these grades; but also, and chiefly, by the interest in, devotion to, and promise of notable achievement in the intellectual life, as evidenced by the work and attitudes of the students during the first three years of their course. 4- That the sole requirement which shall be made of a Senior Fellow after his election shall be that he must be in residence at St. John's College during the academic year following his election. During the year of tenure of his Fellowship, the Fellow shall not be required to attend classes, or to take examinations, or to pay any fees whatever to the college. At the end of the year of the' Fellowship, the Fellow shall be given his degree in course. During the tenure of his Fellowship, the Fellow shall . be given complete and absolute freedom to pursue the intellectual life in residence at . St. John's College in whatever manner and direction he himself chooses, as the guest of the college. 5. That a Senior Fellowship can be terminated during the year of its tenure only because of the commission of a crime, as defined by the laws �i I 40 CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE of the State of Maryland, by the Fellow; or because the Fellow becomes insane, as defined by the laws of the State of Maryland. 6. That this resolution shall become operative and go into effect immediately upon its passage, and that announcement of the existence of the Senior Fellowships of St. John's College, and the conditions of their award and tenure shall be made in all future catalogues of the college.

Each new student is assigned to a member of the Faculty who acts as his Adviser. The Adviser helps the student at registration times, and confers with him occasionally throughout the year. The student should call upon his Adviser freely for assistance at any time. In assigning Advisers to new students, the Registrar considers the information which is furnished on the application for admission. Each student should give as much information about himself as possible, so that he may have sympathetic guidance. Before May first in his first year each Freshman chooses one subject in which he will do his major work. He is then assigned to an Adviser who teaches in the department of the major. The major Adviser takes the place of the Freshman Adviser: with his help the student plans his studies for the remaining years, and . selects the courses he will take during the ensuing year. The Dean. In addition to the Advisers, there is the Dean who acts as counselor to all students and who enforces the general regulations of the College. \t• Counselor to the Freshman Class. The Assistant to the President acts as Special Counselor to the Freshman Class. Registration. All students, both new and old, are required to register at fixed times. The registration day for the first half-year is indicated �50 CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE CATALOGUE OF SJ'. JOHN'S COLLEGE in the College Calendar. At mid-years there is a registration for the second half-year, and in the spring there is an early registration for the year following. The times for these registrations are announced by special notices. Each time, when a student is ready to make a choice of studies, he should go to his assigned Faculty Adviser. A study card, approved and signed by the Adviser, must be returned to the Office and filed before 4 p. m. on the day of registration. Amount of Work Required. No regtllar student in any year may take fewer than four courses. If the number of courses needed for promotion to the next higher class exceeds four, the student will be required to carry 1·he requisite number for promotion, except by special dispensation from the Dean. Change of Program. During the first two weeks in either half-year students may drop or add courses with the permission of the Dean and with the approval of the Adviser. Except for extraordinary circumstances, after November I no course may be dropped until mid-year; and, in the second halfyear, -no course may be dropped after March I. · A special form must be filed at the Registrar's Office for any change of program. Courses Required of Freshmen. The course in prescribed English composition is required of every Freshman unless he satisfies the Department of English by examination that the prescription is not necessary in his case. In addition, every Freshman should register for hygiene and fot physical training. The student's other courses may be elected from any of the courses regularly open to Freshmen. An examination for exemption from the prescribed course in English composition is required of all new students on the day of the formal opening of College. Students who originally register for only four courses, and who gain exemption from English I, will be required to register for an additional course, since no student may take fewer than four courses. At the end of the year credit for one full course in English will be entered on the records of exempted Freshmen. Physical Training and Hygiene Requirements. Two years of -physical training are required for the degree. These should be completed during the first two years of college work. A ten-week course in hygiene is also required, ordinarily during the first year. 51 Requirements for Promotion. For all students entering St. John's for the first time in September, 1935, or thereafter, the requirements for promotion are as follows: I ' To the Sophomore Class : A student must have passed in at least four courses, in two of which his grades must be C or higher. To the Junior Class: A student must have passed in at least nine courses, in five of which his grades must be C or higher. To the Senior Class: A student must have passed in at least thirteen courses, in eight of which his grades must be C or higher. Requirements for promotion of all students entering before September, 1935, are as follows: To the Sophomore Class: A student must have passed in at least four courses, in two of which his grades must be C or higher. To the Junior Oass: A student must have passed in at least nine courses, in five of which his grades must be C or higher. To the Senior Class: A student must have passed in at least thirteen courses, in seven of which his grades must be C or higher. The consequences of failing to satisfy the promotion requirements are described under " probation." Amount of Work Permitted. No student will be permitted to take more than five courses in any one year except by special permission of the Dean. In no case may more than six courses be taken. The Dean may at any time require that a student's program be lightened, even if special permission to take additional courses has previously been granted. Attendance at College Exercises. Attendance at all classes and at all other academic exercises is required. The Dean will exercise his discretion in summoning men who ignore this rule, in warning them against further absences, and in placing on probation men who fail to cooperate. �CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE Unexcused absence from classes either immediately before or immediately after holidays or recesses will at all times be subject to discipline. promotion to the next higher class or, in the case of a Senior, to the degree. 52 Excused Absences. . Absence from classes because of illness or because of some unavoidable occurrence may be excused by the Dean. Absence because of illness is excused by the Dean only on the recommendation of the College Physician. See the section on " Infirmary Service," under "Residence Regulations." Examinations. Informal hour examinations, covering the work of approximately the first seven weeks of each half-year, are held in all courses in November and in March. Mid-year examinations are held at the end of the first halfyear. For courses which end at mid-years, these are final examinations. Final examinations for full courses, and for half-courses which begin at mid-years, are held at the end of the year. · Grades. Students are graded by letter grades as follows : A, Excellent; , B, Very good; C, Satisfactory; D, Passing, but unsatisfactory; F, Failure; I, Incomplete. An incomplete grade is automatically changed to F in case the work ·is not completed within the following prescribed periods : at mid-year, within four weeks; at the end of the year, within the first six weeks of the following academic year .. Reports. Reports are sent to each student; to his parents, and to his Adviser after each grade period ; that is, after the November hourexaminations, after the mid-year examinations, after the March hour-examinations, and at the end of the year. Reports of grades are not given out at the end of the school year, however, until the student's College bills are paid. Good Standing. In order to remain in good standing, a student must maintain at all times a record which, if it were final, would entitle him to 53 The Rank List. After the mid-yea1 examinations and after the fina:l examinations each student whose record is not unsatisfactory is assigned to one of the four groups of a Ran.k List on the basis of the work he has accomplished in the preceding half-year. Each student is ranked according to the grades attained in his best four courses except those men whose requirement for the Sophomore year is five courses. Grades required for standing in each of the groups follow : Group I. Excellence. A minimum of three grades of A and one of B (with no failures in entire record). Group II. Distinction. A minimum of three grades of B and one of C (with no grades of D in best four courses) . Group III. Satisfactory. A minimum of three grades of C and one of D. Group IV. Passing. A minimum which will satisfy promotion requirements but not high enough to fulfill the requirements of a higher group. The Dean's List. The Dean's List consists of the names of a:ll students who have attained places in Groups I or II of the Rank List. Men on the Dean's List are trusted by the Dean with greater responsibility and discretion in the ordering of their college work; they are allowed to observe as they may wish the rules regarding attendance, and are not subject to discipline because of absences. Abuse of these privileges over an extended time may bring about the removal of any man's name from the Dean's List. Any man on the List who for any reason is placed on probation automatically loses the aforesaid privileges. Probation because of Unsatisfactory Scholarship. A student who fails to make at the mid-year grade period a record which, if it were fina:l, would entitle him to promotion, may be placed on probation and warned by the Dean that unless his record improves, his probation may be closed. �54 CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE -A student whose record is unsatisfactory as a result of the November or March hour-examinations ordinarily is warned by the Dean. However, if his record is exceedingly low, he may be placed on probation in November, or in March. A student who at the end of the year fails to make a record which entitles him to promotion is dropped to the next lower class and placed on probation. Continued Failure to Satisfy Promotion Requirements. Any student who has been dropped to the next lower class because of his failure to satisfy his promotion requirements, and who during his second year in the same class again fails to satisfy requirements for promotion to .the next higher class, will have his connection with the College finally severed. Men on Probation. Men who are placed on probation are expected to exert every effort to regain good standing at the earliest possible moment. A student on probation for any cause will be required to maintain a perfect record in attendance. He may not participate in any athletic contest as a member of a team; and, at the discretion of the Dean, he may be required to withdraw from non-athletic activities. If the student is reported for any matter of discipline while on probation, his probation will, in most cases, be closed without further warning. Probation as Discipline. A student may be placed on probation for ·failure to maintain a satisfactory attendance record. Unsatisfactory conduct or neglect of any summons from a College officer may also bring the penalty of probation. Relief from Probation. A student who has been placed on probation for disciplinary reasons is relieved from probation promptly when he has demonstrated that he no longer should be on probation. A student who has been placed on probation because of unsatisfactory scholarship yvill, in most cases, be relieved from probation at the next grade period if a satisfactory record is then achieved. SS Repeating Courses. A course which has been passed may not be taken again in order to raise a grade. If a student has received the grade of F in any course, he may repeat the course, or he may substitute another course. If the course failed is one required for the degree or for the fulfillment of the major requirements, it must be repeated. ,., 'I Continuation of Work in Prescribed English Composition. A student who has passed English I but who still needs training in writing English may, at any time during his Sophomore or Junior year, be required by any instructor, with the consent of the Dean, to return to the English Department for supplementary work, and may be required to continue this work without credit until excused by the English Department or by the Dean. Transfer of Course Credits from Other Colleges. Stiidents who take work at summer schools may petition for transfer of credits on the basis of the work taken at those institutions. Credit is not automatically transferred, but is subject to the approval of the Faculty member at St. John's who teaches the most nearly similar subject. In order to be certain that a given credit will be transferable, the student should confer with the proper Faculty members and with the Dean before going to summer school. Upon his return the student must submit a transcript of his summer school record. Inasmuch as the formal approval of credit may take some time, the student is urged to submit his· transcript and his petition for credit immediately after the conclusion of his summer course. In controversial cases examinations may be required before credit can be granted. IV. REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE A student entering St. John's for the first time in September, 1935, or thereafter, must pass seventeen (17) full courses, or their equivalent in full and half courses, in order to be recommended for the degree. He must, in addition, attain grades of C or higher in at least eleven ( 11) of these seventeen courses. Further, he must satisfy the foreign language requirement and the requirements of· his major department. He must also secure credit for satisfactory work in the course in hygiene and in the courses in physical training (two years of work). �,,, I I 56 CATALOGUE OF ST.

He must, in addition, attain grades of C or higher in at least nine (9) of these seventeen courses. Further, he must satisfy the requirements of his major department and secure credit for satisfactory work in the course in hygiene and in the courses in physical training (two years of work). Courses Required for the Degree. During the four years of the work for the Bachelor of Arts degree, the student must include in his program the following courses: 1. English 1 (unless anticipated). 2. Required courses for fulfilling the prescription: of his major department (approximately six courses). 3. Any language courses prescribed by his major department. 4. Three courses for distribution. (See Courses for Distribution.) 5. Foreign language work required for his degree. 6. In addition to the above, elective courses sufficient to make a total of seventeen courses,* exclusive of hygiene and physical training. 7. The course in hygiene, and two full courses or the equivalent in physical training. Major Courses. At the end of his Freshman year each student is required to designate his major subject. An instructor in that subject is assigned as his Adviser for the rest of his College course. Each student is required to plan, with his Adviser, a tentative program for the Sophomore, Junior, and Senior years, including all of the courses required for the chosen major. It is advisable for the student to take in the Sophomore year any elementary courses which are required. Language Requirements. Candidates for the degree are required to have a reading knowledge of one foreign language. This requirement must be satisfied, preferably by the end of the sophomore year, either by passing *Except in those cases described on page 63 under the heading General Regulations in Respect to Comprehensive Examinations. CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE 57 a :vritten examinat.ion to be given each semester by a special committee, or by passmg with a grade of C or better any advanced language course.* In addition to the language requirement prescribed for the degree, some major departments have language requirements. Since the s~udent does not announce the choice of his major until the end of his first year, Freshmen are advised to consider the matter of languages very carefully before finally submitting their study cards for the first year. Courses for Distribution. .1\ll. courses offered are grouped in three Divisions: ( 1) The D1v1s10n of Languages, Literature, and Art, ( 2) the Division of the Social Sciences and Philosophy, and (3) the Division of the Sciences and Mathematics. The student's major subject falls in one of these three divisions. The student must pass three courses divided between the other two divisions, in not less than two departments which are not represented by courses taken or to be taken in fulfillment of the requirements of the major. Unless the student has passed in his preparatory school a course in laboratory science approved by the College, he must pass at least one college course in a laboratory science. Major Courses Counting for Distribution. No course taken to satisfy the requirements of the major may . be used for distribution unless the major includes more than six full courses. V.

Spanish. ·I. : See Romance Languages. *General Regulations in Respect to Comprehensive E;xaminations. In all cases where a student selects a major field in which a comprehensive examination is required for graduation, the Head of such Department will outline for him, at the beginning of the Sophomore year, a general course of study preparatory for such examination, and will at regular intervals confer with such student as to his progress. If, at any time, the Head of the Department is .convinced that such student is neglecting his preparation for the comprehensive examination, he will bring the matter to the attention of the Dean and, with the latter's approval, will remove such student from that major field, or will require other changes in his program for graduation. Notwithstanding the requirements specified above for compre~ hensi.ve examinations in the major fields of the Oassics, Economics, English, ~oman~e Languages, German, Government, History, Mathematics, Philosophy, and Social Sciences, and in lieu thereof beginning in 1936-37, a student may offer for graduation the com~ 3 �64 CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE pletion of twenty courses with grades of C or higher in thirteen of them, the majors beirig in the above fields, and the distribution being as described for the seventeen-course plan. The three additional courses must be selected with the approval of the Head of the Department wherein lies the major field. Under this plan the student would normally take five courses in each of the four years. VI. DEGREES WITH HONOR AND DISTINCTION In order to encourage high scholarship and serious interest in learning, the college in 1927 established degrees "with honor" and " with distinction." Degrees with Honor. Highest honor will be awarded to those students who have pursued during their last two years a course of study in some measure independent of regular courses and leading to a comprehensive examination in one field of knowledge. Opportunity will be given to acquire a more complete mastery of one subject than has ordinarily been done under the course system. In some departments there will be opportunity for original research and the writing of a thesis. The examination may be conducted not only by the major department and other members of the Faculty, but also by competent persons outside the College. The requirements for the degree "with honor" or '' cum honore " are as follows : a. The candidate shall, at some time before the end of the Junior year, make application to the Dean for acceptance as a candidate for honors, and must have therefor the approval of his Adviser and of the department of his major. b. He shall obtain a general average of at least 80 for the four years, and an average in his major subject of at least 85.* c. He shall, either during his Junior and Senior years, or during one of them, accomplish special work in his major subject, the type and amount of which shall be decided in conference between him and the instructors in his major department. * For determining comparable averages, the mid-point of each grade-range in the following scale is used : A 100-90, B = 89-80, C 79-70, and D=69-60. = = 65 d. He shall, towards the end of his Senior year, pass a comprehensive oral and written examination in his major subject before a board composed of the instructors of the major group, other members of the Faculty, and at least one visiting examiner. Degrees with Distinction. A degree "with distinction" or "cum laude" will be granted to any student who has done especially good work in all the courses which he has taken. A student to win this degree must, during a regularly required residence in the College, obtain an average of 85 or above.* Degrees "with great distinction," or "magna cum laude," will be granted by vote of the Faculty in rare cases to altogether exceptional students. A student may win a degree both " with distinction " in general studies and" with honor" in his major subject. �66 [Art 31. The History of Painting in Western Europe.] COURSES OF INSTRUCTION Freshman courses are numbered from 1to19, Sophomore courses from 20 to 29, Junior courses from 30 to 39, and Senior courses from 40 up. The numbers of full courses are unqualified, halfcourses running throughout the year are indicated by hf following the number, and half-courses given only in the first or the second half-year are designated by 1 hf or 2 hf. Courses not given in the current year are bracketed. The Roman numeral in parentheses after the name of each course indicates the examination group to which the course is assigned. Separate sections have their examination groups listed successively. Courses are open ordinarily to members of a higher class; and occasionally members of a lower class may obtain the permission of an instructor to register for a higher class. The previous consent of the instructor is required for registration in courses indicated by an asterisk ( *). The reading courses are numbered in the fifties; the following regulations govern registration in such courses : 1. Juniors and Seniors in good standing who are in Group I or II of the Rank List may register for reading courses. 2. A Junior or Senior in Group III of the Rank List may be admitted to a reading course with the consent of the Department giving the course provided he has previously done B work or better in that Department. 3. With the consent of the instructor concerned, any Senior is eligible to take reading courses in his field of concentration. 4. No student may take more than two full reading courses or the equivalent in any year. The thesis courses, numbered in the sixties and marked by a dagger ( t), are open only to Seniors who are candidates for departmental honors. I.

JOHN'S COLLEGE King William's School, established in accordance with this Act, flourished until the Revolution, when, according to tradition, its building became a gunshop. In I 784 the Legislature granted the charter for St. John's College; in the following year an act was passed which transferred the masters, students, and funds of King William's School to St. John's. The College has, therefore, a tradition reaching back to early colonial times. The General Assembly wrote into the charter of the College the principles of freedom which have earned for Maryland the name of the Land of Sanctuary. . · A SHORT HISTORY OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE The story of St. John's College begins in 1696 with the establishment at Annapolis of King William's School. In that year an act was passed of which the following is an extract: CHAP. XVII A Petitionary act for free-schools. Lib. LL. No. 2. fol. n5. Dread Sovereign . . • . Being excited by his present Excellency Francis Nicholson, Esq.; your Majesty's Governor of this your Province, his Zeal for your Majesty's Service, pious Endeavors aµd gener.ous Offers for the Propagation of Christianity and good Learnmg, 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 most excellent majesty, by and with the advice, prayer and consent of this present General Assembly, and the authority of the ~ame, 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 freeschool, may be made, erected, founded, propagated and established under your royal patronage. And that the most reverend father in God, Thomas, by Divine Providence lord-archbishop 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 m~y be called King William's School, and managed by certain trustees, nominate~, and appointed by your sacred majesty. Laws of Maryland, Session of July z-9, z696. 19 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 : f 1 l i ~ I 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 honors 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 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. The " fundamental and inviolable principles " have been at all times maintained. An early map of Annapolis, preserved in the Offices of Administration, designates St. John's as the" Collegeall denominations." The College is, as it has at all times been, wholly non-denominational. �20 CATALOGUE OF ~T. JOHN'S COLLEGE CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE educated at this seminary are numerous and evident; with respect to health, as far as a high and dry soil, with pure air, will contribute to its preservation, or restore it when impaired, few places can be put in competition with it, and none can excel it. The sessions of the general assembly and the meetings of the courts of appeals, chancery,_ and county, are so obviously beneficial to those young men who may be called to the public service, or enter into the profession of the law, that no parent, especially a citizen of our State, should hesitate a moment to send his son, whom he desires to become eminent in any of the professions, to a place where he is the most likely to acquire those qualifications which will render him useful _and distinguished as a statesman, or afford him the greatest chance of professional improvement." During the Civil War, St. John's was used as a Union Army hospital. At the close of the war Dr. Henry Barnard, later United States Commissioner of Education, accepted the presidency. During his brief administration he reorganized the College to meet changed conditions. The years since his presidency are chiefly marked by the long and su~cessful administration of Dr. Thomas Fell, inaugurated in 1886. Dr. Fell, now President Emeritus, retired in 1923, after thirty-seven years of service to the College. His successor, Dr. Enoch Barton Garey, also President Emeritus, a St. John's man of the class of 1903, served until June, 1929. In 1931, Douglas Huntly Gordon succeeded to the presidency. Upon Dr. Gordon's retiring in 1934, Colonel Woodcock, a graduate of St. John's in the class of 1903, became President. The names of the former Presidents of the College, with the dates of their services, follow: John McDowell, 1789-1807; Bethel Judd, 18o7-1820; Henry Lyon Davis, 1820-1824; William Rafferty, 1824-1831; Hector Humphreys, 1831-1857; Cleland Kinloch Nelson, 1857-1861. (The college was closed for five years during the Civil War.) Henry Barnard, 1866-1867; James Clark Welling, 1867-1870 1; James Mercer Garnett, 1870-188o; John McDowell Leavitt, 1880-1884; William Hersey Hopkins, 1884-1886; Thomas Fell, 1886-1923; Enoch Barton Garey, 1923-1.929; and Douglas Huntly Gordon, 1931-1934. President Washington visited the College in 1791. After his visit he addressed this letter to the Faculty of the College: To the Faculty of St. John's College: GENTLEMEN :-The satisfaction which I have derived from my visit 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 mature 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 youth who are favored with your care. GEORGE VlfASHlNGTON. April 17, 1791. He gave furtheri evidence of his interest by sending to the College in 1798, his adopted son, George Washington Parke Custis, whose name may be found in the College records as a memoer of the class of 1799. In 1794 President Washington's nephews, Fairfax and Lawrence, attended the " school for grammar and the English language " and are inscribed as "Washington, sen., Virginia" and "Washington, jun., Do." in the roster of that school, which was printed in 1794 under the title, " An Address of the Visitors and Governors of St. John's College to the Senate of Maryland." Three signers of the Declaration of Independence, Charles Carroll of Carrollton, Samuel Chase, and Thomas Stone, served on the Board of Visitors and Governors in the early days of St. John's, as did also John Eager Howard. A fourth signer, William Paca, was among t_he petitioners for the College charter. Francis Scott Key was graduated from St. John's in 17g6, and Reverdy Johnson, Ambassador to Great Britian, in 1811. Founded at a time when problems of self-government were uppermost in men's minds, the College was, until the Civil War, a training school for many who were prominent in state and national affairs. The advantageous location of St. John's College became increasingly apparent. As early as 1841, David Ridgely, in his "Annals of Annapolis," writes, " The peculiar advantages to youth in being 21 i �.22 CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE CATA.LOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE perpetuate the memory of the French soldiers and sailors who were buried on the campus. THE COLLEGE TODAY Location. St. John's College is situated on a campus of thirty-five acres in the city of Annapolis. This beautiful town, so rich in tradition and in stately pre-Revolutionary buildings, is unique as the visible expression of eighteenth-century American civilization. Annapolis lies at the mouth of the Severn River, a tributary of Chesapeake Bay, and is not only the capital of Maryland but also the site of the United States Naval Academy, whose grounds and buildings have much to interest students of American Naval history. Within an hour one can reach either Baltimore or Washington. Students at the College have an opportunity to observe at first hand the houses of Congress, the Supreme Court, and the executive departments of the National Government; likewise they can become familiar with the great collections in the Library of Congress, the Folger Shakespeare Memorial Library, and the various museums in the city. Baltimore also, with the Library of the Peabody Institute, the Walters' Gallery, the Baltimore Museum of Art, and- the numerous concerts to be heard during the musical season, offers many resources to the student at. St. John's. Annapolis is in close touch with the Eastern Shore of Maryland. Ferry and bus connect the city with points across the Bay and with Southern Maryland on the mainland. The College Green. On the St. John's College Green stand many. reminders of the early history of Maryland. It is said that under the most ancient of its old trees, now known as the Liberty Poplar*, th.e colonists in 1652 concluded a treaty of peace with the Susquehannock Indians. During the troubled days before the Revolution, the patriots gathered there to discuss their wrongs. The Annapolitans assembled there to greet General Lafayette in 1824. In 1781 French forces under Rochambeau camped i~ Annapolis on their way to Yorktown. A memorial was erected in 191 l to * This tree, which is marked by an appropriate tablet, has been preserved through the generosity of the late James T. Woodward, Esquire. 23 College Buildings. ·./. McDowell Hall, the central building on the College Green was begun in 1744 by Thomas Bladen as the Governor's Palace. Taken over by the College in 1784, it now houses the offices of administration, the class rooms, and the Student Union. The :enter portion of the first floor is occupied by tl::ie Great Hall, where, m 1824, two banquets and a grand ball were held in honor of General Lafayette. F1anking the Great Hall on either side are the offices of the President, the Dean, and the Registrar, and the offices of the Auditor. The upper floors include class rooms and the Carnegie Art Room. The latter contains a fine collection of books, pri~ts, photog:ap~s, and textiles, given to the college by the Carnegie Foundation m 1926. The ground floor is given over entirely to the Student Union. Here are to be found rooms for the recreation of students-pool and game room ; card room · l~unge, in whi.ch the daily papers and selected magazines are pro~ v1ded; the qmet room, in which quiet must be maintained at all times; and rest rooms. Here, also, in the Student Union are situated the College post office and the College book store. . Humphreys Hall, built in 1835, was used as a hall of residence until June, 1929, when it was completely renovated. It now houses the Departments of Chemistry and Physics. On the ground floor are the Physics lecture room and. laboratory ; on the second and third floors are the Chemistry laboratories ; and on the fourth floor a large lecture room equipped with chemistry lecture table and at the same time a stage, which is fully provided with the ne~essities for dramatic presentations. Each of the instructors in the Chemistry and Physics Departments has his individual private laboratory and office in this building. The Biology Building, on the corner of College A venue and King George Street, houses the laboratories and lecture rooms of the Biology Department. This building, which was acquired by the College in 1929, is provided with new equipment. Here also are the offices of the Biology Staff. Wo~dward H~Il, the College Library, erected in 1899, houses appr~x1mately :hirty thousand volumes, the nucleus of a rapidly growing collection that alr·eady contains many valuable books. Of ': 'I '' i ! �24 CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE great historical interest are four hundred books surviving from the library selected by Bishop Bray and given in 1696 to the Maryland clergy. Among the subscribers who paid for the books was Princess Anne, later Queen Anne, for whom Annapolis was named. The books were early placed in the care of King William's School and were a part of the school's property transferred to St. John's in 1785. The growth of the library in recent years has been largely due to the addition of the Ashhurst Classical Library and to the Marcus H. Bienjamin, the Samuel Garner, Jr., the James D. Iglehart, and other gifts. The Library was helped materially in previous years by gifts from the Carnegie Corporation. The Matthias Hammond House (also known as the Harwood House) was built during the years 1770 to 1774 and was bought by the College in 1926. As an unsurpassed example of southern Georgian architecture, this house is open to students of American history and the fine arts. The Brice House ( 1740), and the Pinkney House ( 17 SO), are also recent additions to the college property. The Infirmary, in which there are three hospital wards, fwct private rooms, and an isolation ward, is housed in a separate building just across from the College Green on College A venue. Here the College Physician holds daily office hours. The Infirmary attendants, at least one of whom is always on duty, live in the building. The Gymnasium, built in 1910, is equipped with a maximumsize basketball floor, handball court, running track, boxing and wrestling rooms, and apparatus. For intramural and varsity sports the College has football, soccer, and lacrosse fields and tennis courts. There are two halls of residence on fhe College Green, Pinkney Hall (1855) and Randall Hall (1903), in addition to the five fraternity houses of the College. Randall Hall contains the College dining hall. On the southern side of the College Green is the State Memorial Hall of Records, which houses the office of the State Land Commissioner and the State archives. The· Bachelor of Arts Course. St. John's is a non-sectarian college for men. The purpose of the College is expressed in the charter granted originally to :King CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE 25 William's School as "the education of youth in good letters and manners." To this end the College offers courses in the liberal arts and sciences leading to the degree of Bachelor of Arts. This degree covers the work formerly covered by the degree of Bachelor of. Science, and is accepted by institutions of advanced learning wherever that degree used to be required. Professional Preparation. Primarily a college of liberal arts, St. John's prepares its graduates to enter professional schools. The degree from St John's is recognized everywhere by graduate schools, and in many cases work taken at St. John's is accepted for advanced standing at these institutions. The specific courses which . a student should take to prepare himself for graduate study in any department are indicated to some extent by the requirements for majors, described hereafter. The Faculty will be glad to entertain further inquiries, and to furnish information concerning preparation for any profession. For those who are interested, the following information may be offered here : Medicine. At St. John's, a specially planned program has been arranged for students who wish to go into medicine. This program, the essentials of which may be completed in two years, includes the work designated by the Council on Medical Education of the American Medical Association as the basic requirement for entrance into class A medical schools. Admission may be gained to some schools of medicine on the basis of the two-year course. The leading medical schools of the country, however, require more than the accepted minimum : they expect not only a grounding in the biological and physico-chemical sciences but also a broad and liberal general foundation. They recommend especially a thorough training in the use of the English language for the clear and accurate expression of ideas. The best medical schools require the bachelor's degree for admission. St. John's students are strongly urged to spend at least three and preferably four years in preparation since, in four years, they can secure a thorough training which will fit them for entrance into any medical school in the United States. Each student is urged to choose as early as possible the medical school which he desires to enter so that he can fulfill its special �CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE CATALOGUE OF ST.

New student organizations must receive the approval of the Dean. 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. This Council, which meets weekly, has supervision particularly over questions of student conduct. A representative from each dormitory and from each fraternity comprise its membership. Officers for the year 1935-36 are: Thomas Warren Chandlee, '36, ~resi­ dent; Ralph Murray Schley, '36, Secretary. Fraternities. Delta Kappa Phi, an honorary scholastic society, recognizes high scholarship by electing to membership those Juniors who have been in the first group of the Rank List at the end of their Freshman and Sophomore years, and at mid-year of their Junior year; and those Seniors who have been in the first or second groups of the Rank List at the end of their Freshman, Sophomore, and Junior years, and at mid-year of their Senior year, and who have been in the first group in at least two of these periods. Delta Omicron, another honorary organization, recognizes the . student's participation in extra-curricular activities. A point systerri devised by this fraternity evaluates the worth of each position or membership held by the student. Clubs. Athletics. Varsity schedules are played in football, basketball, and lacrosse; informal games, in baseball and tennis. The students also engage in cross-country running, track, boxing, fencing, and wrestling, although intercollegiate schedu.les are not maintained in all of these sports. Two athletic fields provide facilities for outdoor athletics. Indoor sports are held in a new and well-equipped gymnasium. All College students in good standing are permitted to. engage in varsity sports. Publications. The members of the Junior Class publish a year-book,_ The RatTat. The Collegian is a newspaper published by the undergraduates. At St. John's the student publications are free from faculty control. The Osler Club, the Erlenmeyer Chemical Club, the Liberal Club, the German Club, and the French Club provide interesting programs for their members. Dramatics. A dramatic club, managed by students, offers opportunity for acquiring experience in dramatics. The King William Players presented the following plays in 1934-35: Biography, by S. N. Behrman; Children of the Moon, by Martin Flavin; and Androcles and the Lion and The Dark Lady of the Sonnets, by George Bernard Shaw. Musical Organizations. Under the direction of Mr. Adolph Torovsky, formerly a leader of the Naval Academy band, the students maintain a concert �30 CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE CATALOGUE OF ST.

Purnell, '23, Vice-President; Mr. Max Glickman, '35, Secretary; and Mr. Robert F. Duer, Jr., ex-'22, Treasurer. The headquarters of the Association are at St. John's College. Local associations are organized throughout the country. i Routine of Admission. Application for admission should be filed by every candidate as early as possible in the yeM in which he hopes to enter. On the application form, supplied by the Registrar upon request, the candidate should furnish the names of the schools he has attended, and the names of perso1;1s who can submit testimonials concerning his character. It is customary for the Registrar to write directly to the principal of each school for a recommendation of the student and a transcript of the student's record. The Registrar writes also to the other persons who can certify to the applicant's character and personality. As soon as all credentials have been secured the candidate's record is considered and appraised; and as promptly as possible thereafter the applicant is notified of the action taken concerning his admission. Since considerable time may be spent in securing the proper credentials, it is desirable that application blanks, fully filled in, should be filed early, preferably before June first. Requirements for Admission. The general requirement for admission is the standard four-year high-school course, or its equivalent. More specifically, the requirement calls for ( 1) the recommendation of the school principal or head master, and (2) fifteen units of acceptable work of secondaryschool level. A unit of entrance credit in any subject except English represents four or five school periods of work a week for approximately thirty-six weeks; in other words, a full year's work in a seco1;1dary school. In English a unit is more than a full year's work, four years of work being valued as three entrance units. For a list of the subjects and units specifically required, see the " Summary of Subjects Which May Be Offered for Admission." Admission by Certificate. , Graduates of accredited high schools, private schools, academies, and preparatory schools are admitted without examination if the transcripts of their records cover fully the fifteen units required for admission. 2 �33 CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE Admission by Examination. When there is doubt about the adequacy of an applicant's preparation, he may be required to take entrance examinations. Candi-. dates who present less than fifteen units of entrance credit will be required to complete the conditions for regular admission in good standing by taking appropriate examinations. Candidates whose previous schoolillg has been interrupted or irregular, candidates who desire credit for private study or for vocational subjects, and candidates who graduated from high school a number of years before seeking admission, may be required to take examinations, or may be admitted as special students, or may be admitted on trial, depending on the circumstances. Entrance examinations may be taken in June, under the College Entrance Examination Board, at any one of the many places where the Board examinations are given in the United States and abroad ; or examinations may be taken at the College in September, on the days indicated in the College Calendar. Students who expect to take the College examinations should communicate with the Registrar, who will furnish information about them. Students who expect to take the examinations of the College Entrance Examination Board should make application by mail to the Secretary of that Board at 431 West rr7th Street, New York City. The Registrar of the College will be glad to help any student to arrange for either kind of examination. general average of C at the en.d of the second year,* and have completed the requirements for promotion to the Junior Class, they will be given full Junior rating and will be allowed to continue in college. Students who have graduated from an approved college may also be admitted as special students, but not as candidates for graduate degrees. 32 Admission on Trial. Occasionally St. John's College admits "on trial" a limited number of applicants whose school work has been of a standard below that required by their principals for unqualified recommendation, but who give evidence of sufficient ability and determination to do satisfactory college work. Students who are admitted on trial are told, at the time of admission, exactly what prescriptions they must fulfill in order to make up their deficiencies. As soon as these prescriptions are fulfilled and the student has presented a satisfactory record in his college work, he is relieved from the" on trial" restriction and is placed in good standing. Admission as Special Students. Exceptional students who lack the requisite entrance units may be admitted as special students. If such students have attained a Summary of Subjects Which May: Be Offered for Admission. For admission in good standing t a candidate must present fifteen units of college entrance credit in the subjects listed below: English: Four years of work are required. This work counts as three units of credit. Foreign Languages: Greek, Latin, French, Spanish, German. Not fewer than two years of work (two units) and not more than four can be accepted in any one language, but up to a maximum of eight units may be accepted in foreign languages. Mathematics: In algebra one and one-half years of work (one and , one-half units) are required. An additional half-unit of advanced algebra may be accepted. In plane geometry one year of work (one unit) is required. An additional half-unit in solid geometry may be accepted. · In trigonometry no work is required but one-half unit in plane trigonometry may be accepted, and one-half unit in spherical trigonometry. Social Science: In history one year of work (one unit) is required, and as many as six units may be accepted. In civics one year of work (one-half unit) may be accepted. In " Problems of American Democracy " one year of work (one unit) may be accepted. · In economics one year of work (one unit) may be accepted. In sociology one year of work (one unit) may be accepted. *For purposes of averaging the mid-point of each grade-range in the following scale is used : A 100-90, B 89-80, C 79-70, D 69-60. t In certain cases entrance insufficiencies may be made up after the student has entered college. Such make-up work is an entrance prescription, is stated as such at the time of admission, and i.s entered as such on the student's record. If the work done in college in fulfillment of entrance requirements may not be counted toward graduation from college, the student is so informed at the time of admission. = = = = �34 CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S·COLLEGE CATALOGUE OFST. JOHN'S COLLEGE Science: Unless the student has passed in his school work at least one full year of science (one unit) in which he has himself performed the laboratory work, he will be required to elect one full science course in college. One year of work (one unit) may be accepted in biology, botany, zoology, physics, chemistry, general science, physical geography, and (in special cases) in some other science. PROCEDURE FOR NEW STUDENTS Routine of Admission. See "Admission." Drawing: One year of work (one-half unit) in free-hand drawing and one year of work (one-half unit) in mechanical drawing may be accepted. Admission of Students from Other Colleges. Students who traqsfer to St. John's from other colleges and universities should file applications for admission similar to those filed by other new students. The routine of admission is the same as that followed in admitting high school graduates, but the student's college record, not his high school record, furnishes the basis for admission. Official statements must be submitted from the institutions which he has attended, showing his status at the time of transfer and a list of the courses he has pursued, with the grades attained. Advanced Standing. Students who transfer from approved collegiate institutions may petition for advanced standing on the basis of the college courses they have taken and passed. In controversial cases examinations may be required before advanced standing can be granted. 35 • 1' ~- ·.~ Residence Assignments at the College. All students not living at home. are required to live in College buildings (all fraternities are housed in College buildings) and to take their meals in the College dining hall. The associations brought about by residence at the College are an essential part of college life. Most of the rooms in the residence halls are arranged so that two students may live together. A few rooms are arranged for three students. Freshmen are assigned to rooms in the dormitories in. the order of their acceptance by the Committee on Admission. They are urged to indicate on their applications for admission the names of other students with whom they would like to live. Students who have no acquaintances at the College are given tentative assignments which are subject to change after the student arrives at the College. It should be noted that no room assignment can be made and no reservation held until the candidate for admission has paid to the College his matriculation fee of fifteen dollars. Room Furnishings. Each dormitory room is provided with the necessary furniture, including a single bed with mattress and pillow, a chiffonier, a study table, and chairs. Towels, bed linen, and blankets are to be supplied by the student, as are also such decorations as window draperies, dresser scarfs, and rugs. The student should consult his incoming room mate before decorating his room. The College maintains the care of the room. Arrival at the College. The residence halls and the dining room are ordinarily closed to students until noon of the Saturday preceding the opening of College. Students usually arrive on Monday of opening week. All students. both new and old, are required to register for their �36 CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE courses on Tuesday (registration day), and to attend thereafter such academic exercises as they may have. The regular academic engagements are listed in the College Calendar, which thus gives to old as well as to new students a notice of when to come to College. Special academic functions are announced by occasional notices. 37 FEES Matriculation Fee. For each new student there is a matriculation fee of $r5. This fee is ·due and payable to the College at the time of application for admission. Since this fee covers the expense of admitting and enrolling the student, admission cannot be considered complete, and no dormitory room can be assigned or reserved, until it is paid. College Routine. The section of the Catalogue dealing with "General Regulations " furnishes much additional information for the entering student. Annual Fees. The fixed charges are those shown in the following table.

In making nominations and recommendations for the Senior Fellowships the President and Faculty shall take into consideration, and be guided by, not merely the academic grades attained by the students during the first three years of their course, though due weight shall be given to these grades; but also, and chiefly, by the interest in, devotion to, and promise of notable achievement in the intellectual life, as evidenced by the work and attitudes of the students during the first three years of their course. 4- That the sole requirement which shall be made of a Senior Fellow after his election shall be that he must be in residence at St. John's College during the academic year following his election. During the year of tenure of his Fellowship, the Fellow shall not be required to attend classes, or to take examinations, or to pay any fees whatever to the college. At the end of the year of the' Fellowship, the Fellow shall be given his degree in course. During the tenure of his Fellowship, the Fellow shall . be given complete and absolute freedom to pursue the intellectual life in residence at . St. John's College in whatever manner and direction he himself chooses, as the guest of the college. 5. That a Senior Fellowship can be terminated during the year of its tenure only because of the commission of a crime, as defined by the laws �i I 40 CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE of the State of Maryland, by the Fellow; or because the Fellow becomes insane, as defined by the laws of the State of Maryland. 6.

JOHN'S STUDENTS Scholarships in Engineering. Three scholarships in engineering are offered at the Johns Hopkins University to graduates of St. John's College. Students who are interested should confer with the major Advisers in the Departments of Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, and Economics. Scholarship in Marine Biology. A tuition scholarship applicable to an approved course either at the Biological Laboratory at Cold Spring Harbor, New York, or at the Marine Biological Laboratory, Woods Hole, Massachusetts, is offered annually to a biology or pre-medical major who is properly prepared and who is recommended by the Biology Department. Students who are interested should consult members of the Department. * These cups remain at the College, the name of the honored student being engraved thereon each year. t This award carries with it a pair of gold cuff buttons. St. John's C.ollege aims to develop in its students a sense of responsibility to the community as well as a ·high standard of scholarship. To this end student self-government is encouraged. Each student is expected to conduct himself as a gentleman. Any student who is guilty of any dishonesty will be required to withdraw from th~ College. The Student Council cooperates with the Dean of the College in enforcing the honor regulations. The Student Council has power, accordingly, to take disciplinary ii.ction in any case of misconduct by any student. Any student who is unable to cooperate with the Student Council may be required to withdraw from the College. II. RESIDENCE REGULATIONS All students not living with parents or guardians are required to live in College buildings and to take their meals in the College dining hall. Occupancy of Rooms. Rooms in the halls of residence may not be occupied before noon of the Saturday preceding the ·opening of College except in the case of men who are returning to College early with the permission of the President. Rooms in the halls of residence may not be occupied during the Christmas or the Easter recess. Assignment of Rooms. Before May first of each year the student may, if he wishes, indicate his desire concerning his rooming arrangement for the next year.

Each new student is assigned to a member of the Faculty who acts as his Adviser. The Adviser helps the student at registration times, and confers with him occasionally throughout the year. The student should call upon his Adviser freely for assistance at any time. In assigning Advisers to new students, the Registrar considers the information which is furnished on the application for admission. Each student should give as much information about himself as possible, so that he may have sympathetic guidance. Before May first in his first year each Freshman chooses one subject in which he will do his major work. He is then assigned to an Adviser who teaches in the department of the major. The major Adviser takes the place of the Freshman Adviser: with his help the student plans his studies for the remaining years, and . selects the courses he will take during the ensuing year. The Dean. In addition to the Advisers, there is the Dean who acts as counselor to all students and who enforces the general regulations of the College. \t• Counselor to the Freshman Class. The Assistant to the President acts as Special Counselor to the Freshman Class. Registration. All students, both new and old, are required to register at fixed times. The registration day for the first half-year is indicated �50 CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE CATALOGUE OF SJ'. JOHN'S COLLEGE in the College Calendar. At mid-years there is a registration for the second half-year, and in the spring there is an early registration for the year following. The times for these registrations are announced by special notices. Each time, when a student is ready to make a choice of studies, he should go to his assigned Faculty Adviser. A study card, approved and signed by the Adviser, must be returned to the Office and filed before 4 p. m. on the day of registration. Amount of Work Required. No regtllar student in any year may take fewer than four courses. If the number of courses needed for promotion to the next higher class exceeds four, the student will be required to carry 1·he requisite number for promotion, except by special dispensation from the Dean. Change of Program. During the first two weeks in either half-year students may drop or add courses with the permission of the Dean and with the approval of the Adviser. Except for extraordinary circumstances, after November I no course may be dropped until mid-year; and, in the second halfyear, -no course may be dropped after March I. · A special form must be filed at the Registrar's Office for any change of program. Courses Required of Freshmen. The course in prescribed English composition is required of every Freshman unless he satisfies the Department of English by examination that the prescription is not necessary in his case. In addition, every Freshman should register for hygiene and fot physical training. The student's other courses may be elected from any of the courses regularly open to Freshmen. An examination for exemption from the prescribed course in English composition is required of all new students on the day of the formal opening of College. Students who originally register for only four courses, and who gain exemption from English I, will be required to register for an additional course, since no student may take fewer than four courses. At the end of the year credit for one full course in English will be entered on the records of exempted Freshmen. Physical Training and Hygiene Requirements. Two years of -physical training are required for the degree. These should be completed during the first two years of college work. A ten-week course in hygiene is also required, ordinarily during the first year. 51 Requirements for Promotion. For all students entering St. John's for the first time in September, 1935, or thereafter, the requirements for promotion are as follows: I ' To the Sophomore Class : A student must have passed in at least four courses, in two of which his grades must be C or higher. To the Junior Class: A student must have passed in at least nine courses, in five of which his grades must be C or higher. To the Senior Class: A student must have passed in at least thirteen courses, in eight of which his grades must be C or higher. Requirements for promotion of all students entering before September, 1935, are as follows: To the Sophomore Class: A student must have passed in at least four courses, in two of which his grades must be C or higher. To the Junior Oass: A student must have passed in at least nine courses, in five of which his grades must be C or higher. To the Senior Class: A student must have passed in at least thirteen courses, in seven of which his grades must be C or higher. The consequences of failing to satisfy the promotion requirements are described under " probation." Amount of Work Permitted. No student will be permitted to take more than five courses in any one year except by special permission of the Dean. In no case may more than six courses be taken. The Dean may at any time require that a student's program be lightened, even if special permission to take additional courses has previously been granted. Attendance at College Exercises. Attendance at all classes and at all other academic exercises is required. The Dean will exercise his discretion in summoning men who ignore this rule, in warning them against further absences, and in placing on probation men who fail to cooperate. �CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE Unexcused absence from classes either immediately before or immediately after holidays or recesses will at all times be subject to discipline. promotion to the next higher class or, in the case of a Senior, to the degree. 52 Excused Absences. . Absence from classes because of illness or because of some unavoidable occurrence may be excused by the Dean. Absence because of illness is excused by the Dean only on the recommendation of the College Physician. See the section on " Infirmary Service," under "Residence Regulations." Examinations. Informal hour examinations, covering the work of approximately the first seven weeks of each half-year, are held in all courses in November and in March. Mid-year examinations are held at the end of the first halfyear. For courses which end at mid-years, these are final examinations. Final examinations for full courses, and for half-courses which begin at mid-years, are held at the end of the year. · Grades. Students are graded by letter grades as follows : A, Excellent; , B, Very good; C, Satisfactory; D, Passing, but unsatisfactory; F, Failure; I, Incomplete. An incomplete grade is automatically changed to F in case the work ·is not completed within the following prescribed periods : at mid-year, within four weeks; at the end of the year, within the first six weeks of the following academic year .. Reports. Reports are sent to each student; to his parents, and to his Adviser after each grade period ; that is, after the November hourexaminations, after the mid-year examinations, after the March hour-examinations, and at the end of the year. Reports of grades are not given out at the end of the school year, however, until the student's College bills are paid. Good Standing. In order to remain in good standing, a student must maintain at all times a record which, if it were final, would entitle him to 53 The Rank List. After the mid-yea1 examinations and after the fina:l examinations each student whose record is not unsatisfactory is assigned to one of the four groups of a Ran.k List on the basis of the work he has accomplished in the preceding half-year. Each student is ranked according to the grades attained in his best four courses except those men whose requirement for the Sophomore year is five courses. Grades required for standing in each of the groups follow : Group I. Excellence. A minimum of three grades of A and one of B (with no failures in entire record). Group II. Distinction. A minimum of three grades of B and one of C (with no grades of D in best four courses) . Group III. Satisfactory. A minimum of three grades of C and one of D. Group IV. Passing. A minimum which will satisfy promotion requirements but not high enough to fulfill the requirements of a higher group. The Dean's List. The Dean's List consists of the names of a:ll students who have attained places in Groups I or II of the Rank List. Men on the Dean's List are trusted by the Dean with greater responsibility and discretion in the ordering of their college work; they are allowed to observe as they may wish the rules regarding attendance, and are not subject to discipline because of absences. Abuse of these privileges over an extended time may bring about the removal of any man's name from the Dean's List. Any man on the List who for any reason is placed on probation automatically loses the aforesaid privileges. Probation because of Unsatisfactory Scholarship. A student who fails to make at the mid-year grade period a record which, if it were fina:l, would entitle him to promotion, may be placed on probation and warned by the Dean that unless his record improves, his probation may be closed. �54 CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE -A student whose record is unsatisfactory as a result of the November or March hour-examinations ordinarily is warned by the Dean. However, if his record is exceedingly low, he may be placed on probation in November, or in March. A student who at the end of the year fails to make a record which entitles him to promotion is dropped to the next lower class and placed on probation. Continued Failure to Satisfy Promotion Requirements. Any student who has been dropped to the next lower class because of his failure to satisfy his promotion requirements, and who during his second year in the same class again fails to satisfy requirements for promotion to .the next higher class, will have his connection with the College finally severed. Men on Probation. Men who are placed on probation are expected to exert every effort to regain good standing at the earliest possible moment. A student on probation for any cause will be required to maintain a perfect record in attendance. He may not participate in any athletic contest as a member of a team; and, at the discretion of the Dean, he may be required to withdraw from non-athletic activities. If the student is reported for any matter of discipline while on probation, his probation will, in most cases, be closed without further warning. Probation as Discipline. A student may be placed on probation for ·failure to maintain a satisfactory attendance record. Unsatisfactory conduct or neglect of any summons from a College officer may also bring the penalty of probation. Relief from Probation. A student who has been placed on probation for disciplinary reasons is relieved from probation promptly when he has demonstrated that he no longer should be on probation. A student who has been placed on probation because of unsatisfactory scholarship yvill, in most cases, be relieved from probation at the next grade period if a satisfactory record is then achieved. SS Repeating Courses. A course which has been passed may not be taken again in order to raise a grade. If a student has received the grade of F in any course, he may repeat the course, or he may substitute another course. If the course failed is one required for the degree or for the fulfillment of the major requirements, it must be repeated. ,., 'I Continuation of Work in Prescribed English Composition. A student who has passed English I but who still needs training in writing English may, at any time during his Sophomore or Junior year, be required by any instructor, with the consent of the Dean, to return to the English Department for supplementary work, and may be required to continue this work without credit until excused by the English Department or by the Dean. Transfer of Course Credits from Other Colleges. Stiidents who take work at summer schools may petition for transfer of credits on the basis of the work taken at those institutions. Credit is not automatically transferred, but is subject to the approval of the Faculty member at St. John's who teaches the most nearly similar subject. In order to be certain that a given credit will be transferable, the student should confer with the proper Faculty members and with the Dean before going to summer school. Upon his return the student must submit a transcript of his summer school record. Inasmuch as the formal approval of credit may take some time, the student is urged to submit his· transcript and his petition for credit immediately after the conclusion of his summer course. In controversial cases examinations may be required before credit can be granted. IV. REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE A student entering St. John's for the first time in September, 1935, or thereafter, must pass seventeen (17) full courses, or their equivalent in full and half courses, in order to be recommended for the degree. He must, in addition, attain grades of C or higher in at least eleven ( 11) of these seventeen courses. Further, he must satisfy the foreign language requirement and the requirements of· his major department. He must also secure credit for satisfactory work in the course in hygiene and in the courses in physical training (two years of work). �,,, I I 56 CATALOGUE OF ST.

He must, in addition, attain grades of C or higher in at least nine (9) of these seventeen courses. Further, he must satisfy the requirements of his major department and secure credit for satisfactory work in the course in hygiene and in the courses in physical training (two years of work). Courses Required for the Degree. During the four years of the work for the Bachelor of Arts degree, the student must include in his program the following courses: 1. English 1 (unless anticipated). 2. Required courses for fulfilling the prescription: of his major department (approximately six courses). 3. Any language courses prescribed by his major department. 4. Three courses for distribution. (See Courses for Distribution.) 5. Foreign language work required for his degree. 6. In addition to the above, elective courses sufficient to make a total of seventeen courses,* exclusive of hygiene and physical training. 7. The course in hygiene, and two full courses or the equivalent in physical training. Major Courses. At the end of his Freshman year each student is required to designate his major subject. An instructor in that subject is assigned as his Adviser for the rest of his College course. Each student is required to plan, with his Adviser, a tentative program for the Sophomore, Junior, and Senior years, including all of the courses required for the chosen major. It is advisable for the student to take in the Sophomore year any elementary courses which are required. Language Requirements. Candidates for the degree are required to have a reading knowledge of one foreign language. This requirement must be satisfied, preferably by the end of the sophomore year, either by passing *Except in those cases described on page 63 under the heading General Regulations in Respect to Comprehensive Examinations. CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE 57 a :vritten examinat.ion to be given each semester by a special committee, or by passmg with a grade of C or better any advanced language course.* In addition to the language requirement prescribed for the degree, some major departments have language requirements. Since the s~udent does not announce the choice of his major until the end of his first year, Freshmen are advised to consider the matter of languages very carefully before finally submitting their study cards for the first year. Courses for Distribution. .1\ll. courses offered are grouped in three Divisions: ( 1) The D1v1s10n of Languages, Literature, and Art, ( 2) the Division of the Social Sciences and Philosophy, and (3) the Division of the Sciences and Mathematics. The student's major subject falls in one of these three divisions. The student must pass three courses divided between the other two divisions, in not less than two departments which are not represented by courses taken or to be taken in fulfillment of the requirements of the major. Unless the student has passed in his preparatory school a course in laboratory science approved by the College, he must pass at least one college course in a laboratory science. Major Courses Counting for Distribution. No course taken to satisfy the requirements of the major may . be used for distribution unless the major includes more than six full courses. V.

Spanish. ·I. : See Romance Languages. *General Regulations in Respect to Comprehensive E;xaminations. In all cases where a student selects a major field in which a comprehensive examination is required for graduation, the Head of such Department will outline for him, at the beginning of the Sophomore year, a general course of study preparatory for such examination, and will at regular intervals confer with such student as to his progress. If, at any time, the Head of the Department is .convinced that such student is neglecting his preparation for the comprehensive examination, he will bring the matter to the attention of the Dean and, with the latter's approval, will remove such student from that major field, or will require other changes in his program for graduation. Notwithstanding the requirements specified above for compre~ hensi.ve examinations in the major fields of the Oassics, Economics, English, ~oman~e Languages, German, Government, History, Mathematics, Philosophy, and Social Sciences, and in lieu thereof beginning in 1936-37, a student may offer for graduation the com~ 3 �64 CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE pletion of twenty courses with grades of C or higher in thirteen of them, the majors beirig in the above fields, and the distribution being as described for the seventeen-course plan. The three additional courses must be selected with the approval of the Head of the Department wherein lies the major field. Under this plan the student would normally take five courses in each of the four years. VI. DEGREES WITH HONOR AND DISTINCTION In order to encourage high scholarship and serious interest in learning, the college in 1927 established degrees "with honor" and " with distinction." Degrees with Honor. Highest honor will be awarded to those students who have pursued during their last two years a course of study in some measure independent of regular courses and leading to a comprehensive examination in one field of knowledge. Opportunity will be given to acquire a more complete mastery of one subject than has ordinarily been done under the course system. In some departments there will be opportunity for original research and the writing of a thesis. The examination may be conducted not only by the major department and other members of the Faculty, but also by competent persons outside the College. The requirements for the degree "with honor" or '' cum honore " are as follows : a. The candidate shall, at some time before the end of the Junior year, make application to the Dean for acceptance as a candidate for honors, and must have therefor the approval of his Adviser and of the department of his major. b.

To every St. J ohn's student, midshipmen, workman, shipmate, sailor, white man or negro, Captain Howard was always a gentle-man. I 3 3 5 I 9 3 7 We do not expect that words can convey to those who did not know him what a great soul he was; nor can we tell or make you understand how much we miss him. His interest was in us- his helpful and frank advice when we were in need of it, his vitriolic criticism when duty was left undone, make us know now what a friend he was to us then. What he gave us is very rarely offered to young men. He had rich possessions of character that men rarely own. These qualities made you know he was your friend, interested in you. His heart was a well of human kindness for all mankind, housed in the body of a great athlete. To us who are only ordinary he was an extraordinary man and more real to us than some of the characters we have only read about. We believe him to be the finest gentleman we have been permitted to call our friend . He was the f1rst and finest citizen of Annapolis. Others may have neglected duty and our interests. He attended to " things left undone." To us he was the very essence and soul of St. John's College. During his entire service to us he took neither rest nor holiday from his duties. We know that in his glad giving he dressed our life with beauty. Do you wonder that to us he was leader and priest, Dean and friend, whose place cannot be filled. We are frank to tell you we loved him and we feel he loved us also. Had you stood at his grave in the driving rain that day, you who only read these words would have known for yourself. Some of us may have been ashamed of our tears then, but we are proud of them now. Doug Howard in his strength of will, mind and body was a giant of a man, he had lived a full rich life; he disliked false impression, cheap sentiment; yet we know he under tood orrow. We have lost our leader and we hope he knows of our tears. "What he had he spent, What he spent he gave, What he gave he keeps." CAPTAIN DouGL.<\ U. S. LEGATE HowARD . N .

Imagine that I have followed diligent! y the careers of my classmates. Then you might expect to read under a title "The History of the Class of '37" something really w01th whilean authentic, documentated Historyprovided, of course, that I could write. But you cannot expect anything now except maybe a paragraph or two entitled, and rightly so, "A Summary of the Class of '37, With a Few Humorous Anecdotes, Lists of Class Officers, and Little of Real Interest." Nevertheless, one must at least write something. Shall I begin by telling you what a bunch of young whipper-snappers we were, when we first came to St. John's College, or shall I omit any criticisms and boastfully tell you that our bonfire was the biggest in years? Shall I tactfully skip over the Hopkins Painting Expedition and the equally disgraceful Fishing Party and tell you of our successful contributions to athletics or extracurricular activities? Shall I mention our interfraternity squabbles, our poli- GfaH tics and the elections, or shall I treat those subjects with true Metternichian delicacy and tell instead of the dances my classmates so skillfully turned into respectful cotillions? I might perhaps remind you of the wonderful work done by our class in other fields , such as in the Student Coun cil and the King William Players and the Glee Club, and without a doubt I should mention our scholastic attainments, because, after all, that is what we were here for. But most of what I have mentioned here is trivial and insignificant-for what really matters is not how many clubs we were in, or who was elected in 1936 or why, but it is what we have derived from our contacts and associations that will benefit us in later life. If all of us feel as I do, than I know that there will be many regrets when the time comes for us to up-root ourselves, and in later years, after we have set fire to the world, we will pause and think about old times and maybe hum a bar or two of "St. John's Forever."

Les 40 41 �Junior From the beginning it was apparent that distinction in every p hase of college life was to be the keyword of the Class of 1938. The first officers -Foster, Ely, Shannahan and Rowe--presented a highl y successful Freshman dan ce on February 9, 1935. Sch olastic r ecords revealed students of unusual calibre; four men maintaining \ an "A" average, with for ty others securing recognition on the Dean's List. Parti cipation in athletics has been an outstanding accomplish- ment, and even durin g their Freshm an year , men consistently repre· sented the College on the football , basketball and lacr osse teams. The class officers for its second collegiate year were Stankiewitz, Cover, Lambros and Shannahan . The "Collegian " found itself edited for the first tim e in the history of its existence by a Soph omore, Englar, aided by a gr oup of fi ve Sophomores who managed its respective departments. A second Sophomore, Coulson, issued the "Collegian" for the latter half of th e year , while ably managing and starrin g in the productions of the King William Players as well. The class again led the College in scholastic achievement, with a group of 12 men receiving honors on the Dean's List. A year had developed exceptional athletes, and varsity teams were composed almost ntirely of Sophomores, th e basketball team becoming the prop· erty of the Class. The second annual class dance, an unu sual affair of hil ario us costumes, was held on June l. U nder the able leader ship of its present officers- DeLisio, Lam· bros, Rowe and Galloway- th e Class is adhering to the difficult task of bettering a remarkable record of two previous years. In every department it expects to surpass all former accomplishments, and the brief record established thu s far is conclusive proof of the success of thi s determinati o n.

In their desire to come to college, the new men had not counted on the strangeness-·of the people, the rooms, the life. Bi-weekly meetings conducted by the ever-helpful Sophomore Class soon reduced their wonder but had an opposite effect on their fears. In not too long a time they adjusted themselves to their once so quaint surroundings and perceived gradually what was meant by studying. They still attended the " rat" meetings but not with quite so much trepidation. Class officers were elected with William N. Hall, president; M. Worthington Bordley, Jr., vice-president; Kenneth G. Bennett, secretary-treasurer; Thomas J. Wright, historian, and John Young, Jr., sergeant-at-arms. Frederick R. Bu ck, William D. MacMillan, Jr., Nelson E. Shawn, E. Leslie Medford, George S. Ennis, Jr., Kenneth G. Bennett, Sanford R. Goodman, Richard W. Snibbe, William V. Stallings, Edward H. V olkart and William H . Spurgin were members of the various varsity teams in this year. ' When their time came, they ran the cannon gauntlet, and retaliated by dunking a too prominently obnoxious upper classman in College Creek. That much off their hands, they proceeded to weightier business. Due mainly to the efforts of Worthington Bordley, a class dan ce was held in February with the music supp lied by the Bluebird orchestra from Washington, D. C. This year the activity of the class has been confined chiefly to the election of officers. The following men were selected: Frederick R. Bu ck, president; Frank A. White, Jr., vice-president; Rudolph Alber a, secretary-treasurer; Thomas J. Wright, historian, and John Young, Jr., sergeant-at-arms. A student council ruling, pr ovidin g for a member from each class, being r evived, John 0 . Neustadt was elected to the post. This year saw the curtailment of Freshmen hazing after a h ectic evening following an ill-advised fishing party at a horse trough. Rudolph Albera . . . .

Lyon Sigma Chapter of Phi Sigma Kappa fraternity was founded in 1903, thirty years after the creation of the first chapter at Massachusetts Agricultural College, Amherst, Massachusetts. This was the first fraternity at St. John's College, and the only national organization until 1916. The promotion of brotherhood, the advancement of scholarship, and the development of character- that creed of the founders of the Phi Sigma Kappa has come to be established as a cardinal principle. "Phi Sigs" feel that no better ideals could guide the path of the collegian, and of the alumnus, to success and happiness . Sigma Chapter each year gives an award, at Commencement, to the St. John's student who has contributed most to the College to attain that ideal. The group takes part m the intramural Fraters in Facultae George A. Bingley Evelyn A. Harrison General A. W. W.

In the fall of the year General Robert E. Lee came to Lexington to take over the duties as President of the College. Although he did not become a member of Kappa Alpha, he became something far greater- the ideal that all K. A.'s have tried to emulate. He became the Spiritual Founder.

Programs have also consisted of a number of outside speakers who favored the group with experiences and information that are not available h er e at the college. Among the se men this year were Mr. Norris W . Matthews, of the Nurroughs Chemical Company, and Mr . O'Neill, of the Naval Experiment Station. Besides the students of St. John's College, the membership of the club is open to the srudents of Annapolis High School who have an interest in Chemistry.

YOUNG, JR., '39 Advertising Manager The Collegian, fast approaching the fiftieth anniversary of its founding, has durin g the last year undergone signifi cant revisions in the matters of editorial, make-up policy, and in the inauguration of a iileri t system for promotion to the executive positions on the staff. Jacques Bushong, '38, was elected to the position of editor-in-chief at the final meeting of the editorial staff last year, and edited the first issue of the paper in October , then resigned in favor of John Otto Neustadt, '39. Bushong now holds the position of executive editor. Neustadt, the present editor-in-chief, during his incumbency, has been r esponsible for most of the changes in the Collegian. His aim, expressed in an editorial early in the year, has been to present all the news of the college in a vital, compelling and unbiased fashion, and to maintain the Collegian as the organ of student opinion. New type-face for the headlines and a new layout has brightened and clarified the appearance of the paper, and the addition of a number of new features has been made in an attempt to give the student more to read than a mere recital of weekly news. Among these features are Inside Looking Out, college sports as seen from the point of view of the participant rather than of the onlooker ; Down the Years, selected news items from past issues of the Collegian; and From the Faculty, a series of interviews with the professor s in which they express their opinions on matters of interest to the studen t. Another innovation is that of Thursday night stories. This has made possible the inclusion of stories on games taking place on Thursday, and other items of news not breaking until just before the p,aper goes to press. There has been a continuation of last year's humorous feature story policy, in which the editors have attempted from time to time to point a mild criticism on many of the idiosyncracies of college life. Thi s yea r , for the first tim e in many years, th e St. J ohn 's College Cotillion Board succeed ed in staging its series of dan ces without financial assistan ce from the College Administration . In this series, aside from the customary Townsmen, mu sic was furnished by the Criterions, and two national kn own "name" bands- Frank Dailey and HudsonDelange. Particularl y because extremely bad weath r r was ·en count-~red for the Hudson-Delange dance and attendance was consequenJ y poor, the Board deserves hearty congratulation s for having successfull y weathered the fin ancial storm attendant on its annual activities. In the latter part of the year , the Board held elections for the year of 1937-1938. Five out of the Freshman Class were ch osen ; these are the new men who have worked on the Cotillion Club during the year, and whom the Board recognized as the b est material for the Board itself. In the upp er classes, m en were eliminated or all owed to continu e serving for another year. Members of the 1936-37 Bo ard wer e : E . Paul Mason, Jr. , '3 7 Chairman Howard P.

Torovsky, former director of the Naval Academy Band, has proved to be a creditable organization durin g the academic year. At the beginning of the season the usual lack of interest and material was a most seno us handicap, but after several weeks of intensi ve work a gr oup of thirty enthusiastic musicians was assembled. At the beginning of the foot· ball season th e organization had made itself into a promising unit , to proceed to play at all home games. The members were disapp ointed to learn that the J ohn s Hopkin s football game was scheduled durin g the Thanksgiving holida ys, which meant that the Band would be unable to play for the " Pajama Parade," bonfire and the game. This did not cli scourage the organization and it continued on with no decline of interest. The same spirit was carried on during the basketball and lacrosse seasons and r esulted in the firm establishment of a strong, growing group. German Club Under the directi on of Dr. Richard Ku ehn emund th e German Club has been a decided success. The club's purpose is to further the knowledge of German life, culture and achievements that ca n not be go t in the class room. All are invited to join this club, and no knowledge of German is needed . Monthly meetings are held at th e home of Dr. Ku ehn emund on King George Street. At these gatherings motion pi ctu r es of life and co nditions in Germany are shown . The program s also include short talks b y mem bers or by Professor Kuehnemund , and group discussion . Old German student songs are sung and German refreshments are served. Dr. Kuehnemund provides the musical accompaniment and at variou times gives short piano r ecitals of German songs. This organizati on is one of the most enjoyable of the extra-curricular clubs on the campus. The offi cers for 1936. 37 were Gustav E . H erzer, '38, President; Jam es S. B. Middleton , '38, Vice · President; Sandford M. Hecht, '38, Secretary; and John R. Birmin g· ham, '39, Treasurer. Delta Omicron Delta Omicr on is an honorary fraternity founded t o r e· ward disting uish ed participa· tion in extra-curricular activities other than athletics. El ec· tion is based on point awards judged upon the number of ac tivities in which any student takes part. Ther e are three societies leading up to Delta Omicron : The Prince William Society, the King William Silver Society, and the Kin g W illiam Gold Society. Each is a step towards Delta Omicron. In r ecent year s the point requirements were raised in order to counteract the increased stud en t activities. Fifteen merits are now required to make one eligible for Delta Omicron Fraternity. The 1936-37 men1bers are: Edward C. Sommer, Charles D. H yso n, E. Paul Mason , Lester A. Wall, Jr. , and Norval F. Kemp of th e Class of 1937. The followin g man has been elected to Prince William Society: Walter A . Bar a, 1940. The followin g men have been admitted to King William Society: F. Elwood Barkman, 1938; Howard P. Hill, 1938 ; J. 0. Neustadt, 1939; Juliu s Rosenberg, 1938; Jack D. Englar, 1938; John N. Boeris, 1938 ; Arthur K. Meyers, 1938; Fred Alexander, 1937. Delta l(appa Phi Delta Kappa Phi at St. John's represents the highest honor for schol astic achievement obtainable in the course of four years. It has as members only those students who have kept the highest standing in their college career at St. John 's. To attain it seni or s must h ave been in the first or second gr oup of the Dean's List at the end of their freshman , sophomore and junior years and at the middle of their senior year. They mu st have been on the first group at least twice. Juniors must have been on the first group at the end of their freshman and sophomore years and at mid-year during their juni or year. These selecti ons are made by Professors Elliott and McFarlin, present members of the faculty. The present members of this fraternity are: Lester A. Wall, E manu el P. Snyder and Rob· ert Levin , of the Class of 1937, and Gustav E. Herzer, of the Class of 1938. �King ·w illiam Group The College Dramatic Club, although not the most active, is certainly the most important organiza tion on the campus, sin ce it not only satisfies the hi strionic interests of the student body, but because it also has a large following in the general Annapolis public. The King William Players have a laudable reputation which they have achieved through the unflagging efforts of their members to provide intellectual recreation for their friend s, and through the expert assistance ' of Dr. Ford K. Brown, who is the director of their plays. For reasons more or less indeftnite, the club this y ~ar pr·oduced but a sin gle play. H owever, if present plan s materialize, it will co ntribute to June Week by the presentation of a Shakespearian play presented on the main campus in the shade of the Liberty Tree. The vehicle given this year by the Players was " The Admirab le Crichton," a comedy by Sir James Barrie dealing with English servant life. The cast consisted entirely of new members except for John 0. Neustadt, '39, and Augusta Melvin . Neustadt, President of the Club , gave a good interpretation of the Engli sh butler; Stanley Fisher, '38, gave an outstanding performance of " Lord Loam," and other parts were well taken by William N. Hall, '39, Richard Barton, '39, and orman Slater, '39, and by Vida Wimbrow, Virginia Daly, and Crystal Tardy. Great credit is due to Philip A. Myers, '38, who was business manager of the play; Robert Snibbe, '37, and Richard W. Snibbe, '39, designers and builders of the stage scenery; to George C. Beneze, '39, and Henr y M. Robert, III , '40, for their supervision of proper ties and li ghting, and to Mrs. John McCleary, assistant director. Librarian s The Library of St. John 's College is the hub of the college mental life. It is there, in the mu sty smell of books, some of which are unique in the United States as a remnant of our first public library, that al l students have spent many long hours at some time or another of their college career. Surely one mu st go a l ong way to find a library with the homely and familiar air which pervades in the tall book-lined archives and in the cozy comfortable reading-room of Woodward Hall. As in previous years, Miss Lulu V. Ebaugh with the aid of Mrs. Norris Matthews arranged a series of teas durin g the year that were attended by student s, faculty and local people. The first tea, h eld on the opening week of the college, was in h onor of the class of 1940. The young ladies of Annapolis were especially invited to make the acquaintance of the new students. On this occasion, the president of the college spoke on "Liberal Education from three books : a novel, a history, and a play." In October, Mr. Henry F. Sturd y, St. John's College, '08, talked on " The Pre-historic and Historic Indians of Maryland." In December Dr. L. Wardlaw Miles, Collegiate Professor of English at the J ohns Hopkin s University, talked on "Shakespeare.'' In January Mr. Marshall Finnan, Superintendent of the National Capital Parks, gave a very interestin g talk on " the pr• -historic Indians of the Mesa Verdi National e Park and the surroundin g area. The lecture was supple mented by movie-slides. In March Dr. Louis C. Hunter, of the History Department of St. John 's, spoke on " American Subliterary Fiction." Among the students who h ave assist·ed at the library are: E dward C. Sommer, '37; J ohn R. Birmingham, '39; Jack C. Wagn er, '38; J ohn B. Boeris, '38; Ri chard B. Warburton , '38 ; James F.

FOOT The 1936 football eason ended with a record eldom urpassed by a t. J ohn 's College football team . It turned in six wins, one loss, and one tie against one of the most difficult chedule in years. From the Maryland game, when the Johnnies were given no hope for a succes ful season, to the end of the Hopkins game, the team gave their best, and succeeded in turning back all opp onents. With the schedule consisting of the Univer _ ity of Maryland , Drexel Institute, Rand olph-Macon, American University University of Delaware, Ha~pden­ Sydney, Swarthmore and Johns Hopkins, the Black and Oranae continuall y turned in brillia~t performances, whether playing at home or on foreign soil. They stopped Randolph-Macon's seventeen game winning streak, turned ?ack ~he best small college team ll1 Philadelphia in Drexel, defeated the strongest Delaware team in years, and scored an overwhelming victory over their arch-rivals Hopkins. They started their win: ning streak with Drexel and were n ever stopped for the rest of the eason, excepting for a tie with Hampden-S ydney, in which «arne their triple-threat quarte~back was out on injuries. One of the high spots of the seaon lies in the fact that it inaugurated the duties of Valentine " Dutch" Lentz as Head Football Coach and Athletic Director. He had a good number of letter ·men from the previous year's squad, but even with this asset, his charges were given no hope of s~ ccessful encounters against their hi ghly rated rivals. The team took the field as the under-dog in all except two gam es, but thty would not let this be a cause of fa ilure, and continually brought h ome the bacon. University of Maryland vs. St. John's College at College Par]~, Maryland- ep t. 26, 1936. The 1936 gridiron season began as usual with the Univer sity of Maryland, with the game considered a " warm-up " for the . of M. Terrapins. The Black and Orange met defeat a was expected, by a 20-0 score, but not till after holding the Terp' first team BALL for three periods, much to the urpri e of the 4,000 fans at Byrd tadium . Th e opening whistle put th·~ Johnnies on the defensive, a p o· sition they held throughout the rest of the game. The strong Maryland attack, minus their AllAmerican back, Bill Gucke)'Son , who was out on injuries, kep t th e ball deep in Black and Orange territory for the better part of the game, but worked hard for their three touchdowns. After the fir t period, during which the J ohnnies held the Terps on almost even terms, the St. J ohn 's defense tired, especially in th e hist quarter when the Terps drove over their final score. Bi g Jim Meade, Maryland halfback, was the spark-plug of the attack, and it was his long gains that paved the way for the Mm·yland touchdowns. Out weighed and out classed in experience, the Johnnies were n ot out fought, and they put up a great defensive battle throughout the game. Their few offen ive drives were all repulsed. Ellinger, Bryant and Weidinger put the ball over the line for the Terps on short gain s after lon g drives. Drexel Institute vs .

The J ohnnies again took th e field as the under dog when they met the strong Drexel team. But their offense had been polished up since the Maryland game, and it was a new team that took the field to be the fourth J ohnni e acrgregation to face the Quaker City Lea rn . The large cr owd wa greatly surpri sed at the Johnnie earl y attack and their co ntinual goal line stands. The J ohnnies push ed over their lone tou chdown in th e first quarter and defended the lead all thro ugh the game, led by J ohnn y Lambros, wh o i ntercepted E hm· long's pas , threw a pas to Warren Hammann for a forty-yard gain, and one to Fred Buck wh o ra11 14 yards for the lone touchdown.

Displaying wonderful defensive power and timely offensive ability, th e St. John 's eleven pushed over a tou chdown for a 6 to 0 viclory over Rand olph-Macon College before 5,000 fan s at Ashland, Va . This game marked the first tim e that th e Yell ow Jackets had been defeated for seventeen straight gam es, and as before, the Johnni es entered the game rated to lose by a heavy margin. Bair, the Yellow Jackets' star back, was continually stopped in hi s tracks durin g the early part of the game, during which the Jackets were able to reach the Johnnie one-yard line, only to be turn ed back by a hard-fighting Black and Orange line. But then th e Johnnies took to the offensive, and thTou gh the passing of Lam· bros and the blocking of Sands, succeeded in getting the better part of the half. The on ly score came in the third period, when , after a long Johnnie drive, Johnny Lambros passed into the hands of Bill Stallings, who romped over the goal line standing up. The Jackets' comeback drive in the last quarter ended in an illegal touchdown from a forward lateral. This play was of course called back. The play of Lambros, Stallings and Sands stood out for St. John's, while Palisak and Uram played brilliant ball for the Virginians. American University vs. St. John's College at Annapolis, Md. - October 17, 1936. Stretching their winnin g streak to three victories, the St. John's football team defeated the Amer- i can University of Washington , r D. C., by the sco, e of 12 to 6. The game marked the poorest exhibition shown all season by th e Johnnies and it was only the fine punting of Lambros that kept the Eagles from capitalizin g on the breaks they got. The Johnni es opened their scoring in th e secon d period after an outside punt by Lambros on the visitors' one-yard lin e was returned by an Eagle punt for ten yards. The Eagles succeeded in holding here for three downs, but on the fourth, Big Ned Lathrop, Johnnie fu llback, plunged over the line for the score. Then came th e most spectacular play of the game. A p lay that was intended for a lateral pass to go from Hammann to Lambros, was intercepted by Bud Rodgers, A. U. end, and resulted in an 80 ya rd dash for the only Eagle tou ch down. From here the game appeared to be aiming for a tie, but late in the fourth quarter the Johnnies opened up a passing attack which ended in a scoring pass from Lambros to Skippy MacMillan, who ran five yards for the winning score. American University opened up a passing drive that was ended on the Johnnie tenyard line by the final whistle. The fine kicking and passing of Lambros was a great aid in the Johnnie victory, as was the fine defensive work o£ Ned Lathrop in backing up the line, and the general line play of Bob Snibbe, Frank Townsend and Ed Roache. Toner and Rodgers continually succeeded in keeping the Johnni e pass defense on the alert. Delaware University vs. St. John's College at Annapolis, Md. - Oct. 31 , 1936. Next on the schedule came the University of Delaware, which was also added to th e strin g of victories. This Delaware team came to Annapo lis with a fair record and was favored. Again St. John 's turned the table on highly favored rivals and pu lled in the victory by a 13 to 6 score. Th e great play of Ned Lathrop was a feature. The early part of the game was marked by fumbles by both teams, wi th the Blue Hens holdin g a slight upper hand during the first period on the fin e running of Roberts, Delaware back. St. John's got under way in the second quarter by a penalty of interference against Delaware whi ch gave the Black and Orange the ball in mid-fi ~ld. On the next play Warren Hammann broke through tackle, fumbled the ball, p icked it up and raced 45 yard s fo r the first touchdown, dodgi ng the Delaware secondar y. Lambros's placement was good. In the third quarter the Blue Hens returned to fighting form and after several Johnnie fumbles took the ball on the St. John's eighteen- yard line. Then Delaware pu lled the most deceptive p lay of the game as Ramsey handed the ball on a backward pass to Rober ts who skirted left end for the on ly Hen score. The fourth quarter found Ned Lathrop unstoppable on off-tackle thrusts and he put the ball in scorin g position several times only to have the Delaware line hold for downs. Burns tried a field goal but the ball was wide and the Larnbro . St. J ohn ' against Drexel In stitute.

Again Lathrop ran wild , and took the ball through the lin e fo r 16 yaTds and a tou chdown on three successive plays. The fin al score was 13 to 6 for St. John 's.

The strong St. John 's line, a in the Maryland game, was the o nl y as et that the Black and Orange team co uld boast, and it held several times for four downs with th e ball in precarious situ ati ons. However, th e J obnnies sco ring punch was mj ssing, and alth ough they had several opp ortunities th ey could not cash in. St. John ' kjcked off on the open ing whi stle and received the ball on a long punt dow n the fi eld. From then on the ball see-sawed back and forth in the mid-playin g fi eld , with neither team claiming a ny brilliant running. Several time the Ti gers neared the opposi ng goal line onl y to be th wa rted by the strong defensive J ohnnie line. The Black and Orange had but few scorin g chan ces, and lack of deceptive running plays defea ted th eir attempts. The game cl o ed without scorin g, and so marked the end of the Johnnie winnin g streak. Swarthmore College vs. t.

Howard, U. S. N ., was born in Annapolis on F ebruary l1 , 1885. His co nnection with St. John 's College began th e in stant he was born, f o r hi s birthplace was the h ome on the college campus of his grandfather , Dr. Abram Claude, a m ember of the fa culty of St. John 's and for sixteen year s ma yor of Annapoli s. The buildin g in whi ch h e was born is th e one now occupied by the Kappa Alpha Fraternity. H e entered the St. J ohn 's Preparatory Sch ool in 1898. U pon his graduatio n fr om that instituti on two years later h e entered th e college proper. He was then s ixteen years old . Among hi s lassmates wa ano ther yo un a man al so destined to play an imp ortant part in the futur e of the coll ege, Amos Woodcock. They were good fri e nds and both excellent stude nts, but th eir extra-curri cular interests lay in different directions. While Amos Woodcock was interested in the undergraduate publi cations and organizati ons of the Y . M. C. A. type, Dou g H oward's hobbies were athletic. H e went out for foo tball in hi s fr eshman year and gained the p osition of r egular right end on o.n e of th e biggest and best S t. J ohn 's tea ms of all time. Much more important than sports was th e fact that he was makin g a good record in hi s studies. Equa ll y important is the fa ct that he won the incer e friendship and r e pect of his fell ow stude nt . When he suddenl y left S t. J ohn 's in 1902, in th e middl e of hi s junior yea r, to pre pare for entrance exa minations to the Naval Academ y, they saw him go with genuine r egret. The Juni or Class Historian of that time, writing in th e 1903 RAT-TAT, had this to say of him: " It is a painful duty to interrupt th ese awakened memo ri es b y recording that very r ecentl y our good fri e nd ' Du g' has left us to prepare for the entran ce examination s at the Naval Academy. We have lost a bright scholar, a fin e athlete and a gen eral good fell ow. We voice th e sentim ents of the wh ole sch ool in wishing for him a h appy and useful career in U ncle Sam's Navy." Little information is available concerning hi s work at the Nava l Academy other than th e general fa ct that he gave a good acco unt of himself. We do know, however , that he wa a " three-striper" a11d that in ]905, when a first class-man , he was appointed Rankin g Cadet Captain and placed in charge of th e First Company. All of which wo uld certainl y suggest that the A ademy offi cial s th ought hi ghl y of hi s abilities. Ju t as at St. J o hn '~ he di stin g ui shed him elf in ath letics, immediately makio O' th e f oo tball tea m in hi s old positi on at end. In 1905 he wa elected captain of the tea m. U nder him it lost onl y one game a nd broke a lo ng lin e of defeats at th e hands of Arm y by tyin g that team 6-6. The . arne year h e won the h eav yweight boxing champio n hip of th e Academy . At the graduation exercises the foll owing Jun e he was presented with th e Th ompso n Tro ph y f o r ha ving do ne mo re fo r th e promoti on of ath leti cs than a ny other mem ber of hi s cia s. Beneath his pi cture in the 1906 103 �1937 RAT-TAT RAT-TAT 1937 edition of the Lz£cky Bag, the Academy ear-book, appears thi s description of him: " A slow-sp eakin g r epresentative of Crabtown-on-the-S pa . .. A handsome man ... Prehi stori call y president of the Red Mike Club ( a society composed of all egedl y ' women-hatin g' midshipmen), but like others possessed of stone hearts has almost succumbed . . . Can say mor-e in less words in a greater length of time than J ohn Henr y can less in more words at an y time when not asleep. Has never yet been bluffed by an ybody." Thi s excellent portrait of hi s personality is perfectl y rounded out by a qu otatiuu fr om Longfellow: " A man wh o's n ot afraid to a y his ay, " Though a wh ole tow11's again st him." Hi s great interest in athleti cs did not Hag after his graduation , but rath·er appears to have in creased, for he was almost at once appointed assistant coach of the Academy football team. He ser ved in tru s cap acity until 1912, when he was made head coach , w1 ich position he h eld until th e end of the 1914. season. In order that hi s football h experi ence and hi coaching ability could be utilized, he was granted " temporary detached duty" fr om his regular tours of dut y with the H eet. In 1910, while still assistant football coach, he married Miss Ruth Bowyer, a dau ghter of th e th en super intendent of the Academ y, the late Rear-Admiral J. M. Bowyer. The ceremony was performed in the superintndent's quarters. In th e fi eld of active naval dut y, Howard quickl y distinguished himself. During the W orld War he commanded in succession the destroyers Drayton, Rowan and Bell, which were a part of the desn·oyer force based at Queenstown. By reason of the high quality {)f hi s work in these co mmands, he rose fr om the rank of lieutenant to that of commander. Afler the war, he was awarded the Navy Cross- with a citation for " distinguished servi ce in th e line of hi professi on." 1 promoted to the rank of captain upon his retirement from acti ve duty in 1933. Hi s old cia smate at the Academy, Captain ]. G. Shafroth, has well expres ed th e sense of di smay felt by Captain Howard's fri end at hi s retirement: " Captain Howard was an outstanding naval oBicer: h onest, able, for ceful nd gifted with a great amount of co mmon sense. Hi s retirement in 1933 was deepl y regretted by hi s man y fri ends in the er vice.'' But the avy's loss was t. John 's College's gain , for soon after he left the Navy, Ca ptain Howard became associated with the colleae, at first in the apacity of assistant to the president and later, when in 1934 his old classmate at St. J ohn 's bec am ~ president, in the capacity of dean. Throm his kindn ess, intelli gence, genuine masculinity and hi s lon g experience gh in handlin g men he qui ckl y won the admiration and respect of the student bod y. He won it to a man - a remarkable feat in view of his ri aid in sistence on the students' obeying the college regulations to the letter. He came to kn ow personall y ever y student - also a feat of no small proportion s. When a matter of discipline or of controversy was brought bef ore him, the students i• volved accepted his decision without question; they knew that th eir problems were in the hands of a man wh o under tood them, of a man wh o was a "square-shooter .'' With all this went a sincere modesty. He would be the first and most vigorou s to deprecate an article of thi s ort were he here toda y. But none of this is praise ; it is simply fact, conservatively stated. Elm er M. Jackson , the editor of the Annapolis Evening Capital and himself a t. J ohn 's man , has perhaps best umm ed up Captain Howard's character and explained th e students' feelin gs thu s : "S tron g, slow of sp eech, co nsiderate, but with a streak of iron in hi s character Captain Howard had the ability to inspire hero-wor hip, and to co mmand the respect of all. He had the knack ·of getting into th e heart - particularl y of th e youth - as typifi ed by his career at St. J ohn 's College." Captain Howard remained as Dean of t. John 's Coll ege until December l , 1936, when he resigned to take over the presidency of th e Annap oli s Banking and Tru st Compan y. He explained his resignation on the ground ·of his wi sh to make way for " a hi gher-degreed man " as Dean of St. J ohn 's. He wa ordered back to the a val Academy in 1919 to take the post of Director of Athl etics, but after a few years was again tran ferred this time to the battleship Texas, ·of whi h he became navigatin g offi cer. S hortl y after thi s, he became executive officer of th e crui ser eattle, then fla gship of the Atlantic fleet. He returned to the a val Academy in 1935 as Executi ve Officer of the Department of Ordnance and Gunnery. In 1926 he received a double promoti on, becomin g both Head of the Ordnance De partment and a member of the Academi c Board of the Academy. He ser ved in these offi ces and al so as football representati ve of the Academy until 1928, at whi ch time he v a LTansferred to acti ve ea duty as commander of destro yer di vision 27 of the scoutin g H eel, and later of di v i~i o n 33 of th e same fl eet. Two years later h e entered the Naval War College at Newp ort, Rh ode Island. Up on his graduation the followin g year , he entered th e Arm y War College at Washington, where h e also spent a year. When he was graduated fr om th·e latter institution , he r eported for duty in th e office of na va l intelli gence in th e lav Department at Washington. He was " Th e shock of the death of th eir late dea n stunn ed th e college students, who placed him high in their affecti ons and looked to him for guidan ce and fri endl y interest. Onl y those close to the student body toda y could apprec iate th e deep grief a nd sense of loss felt. " 104 105 On December 13, onl y two week after leaving S t. John ', he was suddenl y stri cken with a heart attack. He di ed the next da y, at the age of fift y-one. Wh en th e new of his death reached the co ll ege, it spread like a pall over the campu s. The Evening Capital the next da y carri ed an editorial tribute to Captain Howa rd in whi ch th e feelin gs of the student were well described: �HISTORY OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE In 1694 th e Governor of Maryland, Sir Francis Nicholson , suggested to the Legislature " that a way may be found for the building of a fr·ee school for the province." Hi s plan was approved and , through appropriation s made by the General Assembl y, King William's School was founded in 1696 in the City of Annap olis. Of this fir st public free school in America, littl e is kn own until the last quarter of the eighteenth centur y, when its statu s was changed to that of a college. During the administration of Dr. Hector Humphreys an in crease in the funds made possible the constructi on of Humphreys Hall in 1835 and Pinkney Hall in 1855. Dr. C. K. Nelson was appointed to the presidency in 1857 and occupied the positi on until 1861 wh en the Co ll ege was taken over f or use as a military hospital. In a letter t o a fri end in En gland dated October 4, 1773 William Eddis, surveyor of customs in Annapolis, wrote " The Legislature has determined to found a college for the edu cation of the youth in ever y useful and liberal branch of science, which will preclude the necessity of cr ossing the Atlanti c for the completion of a classical and polite edu cation. " Accordin gl y, in 1785, the fund s and property of King William's Sch ool were tran sfered to St. John 's College, which was housed in a mansion built for Govern or Bladen and now known as McDowell Hall. At the close of the Civil War the College buildings were completely renovated and reopened and the c-o llege began its activities under its new president, Dr. Henr y Barnard, in 1886. Five years later the fir st class since 1860 was graduated and the Board of Govern or s established a number of State Scholarships. In spite of the available sch olarships, the number of students dwindled and through the lack of appropriations the buildings became greatly in need of r epair. The condition of the College became in creasingly alarming until the app ointment of Dr. Th omas Fell to the presidency in 1886. The dedication of the Coll ege on November ll , 1789, was a colorful one. A procession composed of the members of the General Assembly, the Chancell or , Judges of th e General Court, the city officials, and preceded by the students and fa culty of St. John's College, gathered at the State Hou se and proceeded to the College Hall. On the rostrum that day were seated man y promin ent men in go vernment and religio us circles. The principal speaker of the da y was the Reverend Ralph Higginbotham who dealt with the " Advantages of a Classical Educati on ." Durin g Dr. Fell 's term of offi ce, which lasted until 1923, imp ortant steps were taken in the development of St. John 's Coll ege. Following a th or ough renovation of the older buildin gs, new ones were built. Th e coll ege became a militar y sc hool. The registrati on increased almost two-fold . Soon after the World ·War, h owever , St. J ohn 's again began to lose students, and it remained for Maj or En och B. Garey, who became president in 1923, to restore it lo t pre tige. After a visit to the College, in 1791 , President Washington wrote the foll owing letter in response to an address made by the auth orities of · St. J ohn's College : To the F acult y of St. J ohn 's College : Gentlemen:- The Sati sfaction whi ch I ha ve derived fr om my visit to your infant seminary is expressed with mu ch pleasure, and my wishes for its progress to perfecti on are proffered with sincere r egard. The very promising appearance of its infancy mu st flatter all its friends (with whom I entreat yo u to class me) with the hop e of an earl y a nd at the same time a mature manhood. You will do justice to th e sentiments which yo ur kind regard toward myself i~ spir es, by beli eving that I reciprocrate the good wishes contained in yo ur address, and I sin cerely hope the excellence of yo ur se mi~ar y will be manifested in the moral s and science of th e youth who are fa vored with your care. G EOR GE April 17, 1791. W ASHI NGTO N . President Garey ab olished the military asp ect of th e College and greatl y enlarged the faculty. It was during hi s administrati on that St. J ohn 's acquired the Hammond-Harwood Hou se, the Brice House and the Pinkn ey House. Through an endowment from the Carnegie F oundati on, the library was greatl y improved and an art librar y established. The peri od fr om President Garey's resignation in 1929 until the appointment of Douglas Huntl y Gordon in 1931 was one during which the College had no president. At thi s time Humphreys Hall was converted into a science laboratory and stud ent social r ooms were created. The Great Hall was restored throu gh the work of R. T. H . Halsey and new buildings were purchased to be used as fraternity houses and an infir mary. During the two hundred and forty years that h ave elapsed since the fo unding of King Williams School, St. J ohn 's Coll ege has developed into a liberal arts college where students for th e most part are given co ntrol over the College activities. Toda y the College, under the administrati on of General Amos W. W. Woodcock, continu es its work more vigorously and progressively than ever before. �IN RETROSPECT FEATURES and AD S Ea1· ly warm fall weather and a bea utiful campu s, greets me on that first da y after a wobb ly ride on the train from Baltimore.

JOHN'S COLLEGE The story of St. John's College begins in 1696 with the establish~ ment at Annapolis of King William's School. In that year an act was passed of which the following is an extract : . CHAP. XVII A Petitionary act for free-schools. Lib. LL. No. :l. fol. 115. Dread Sovereign . . • . Being excited by his present Excellency Francis Nicholson, Esq.; your Majesty's Governor of this your Province, his Zeal for your Majesty's Service, pious Endeavors 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 most excellent majesty, by and 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 freeschool, may be made, erected, founded, propagated and established under your royal patronage. And that the most reverend · father in God, Thomas, by Divine Providence lord-archbishop 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. Laws of Maryland, Session of July I-9, I696: CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE 19 King William's School, established in accordance with this Act, flourished until the Revolution, when, according to tradition, its building became a gunshop. In 1784 the Legislature granted the charter for St. John's College; in the following year an act was passed which transferred the masters, students, and funds of King William's School to St. John's. The College has, therefore, a tradition reaching back to early colonial times. The General Assembly wrote into the charter of the College the principles of freedom which have earned for Maryland the name of the Land of Sanctuary. 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: 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 honors 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 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. The " fundamental and inviolable principles " have been at all times maintained. An early map of Annapolis, preserved in the Offices of Administration, designates St. John's as the " Collegeall denominations." The College is, as it has at all times been, wholly non-denominational. �20 CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE President Washington visited the College in 1791. After hi& visit he addressed this letter to the Faculty of the College: To the Faculty of St. John's College: GENTLEMEN :-The satisfaction which I have derived from my visit 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 mature 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 youth who are favored with your care. GEORGE VV'ASHINGTON. April 17, 1791. .I He gave further evidence of his interest by sending to the College in 1798, his adopted son, George Washington Parke Custis, whose name may be found in the College records as a member of the class of 1799· In 1794 President Washington's nephews, Fairfax and Lawrence, attended the " school for grammar and the English language " and are inscribed as "Washington, sen., Virginia" and "Washington, jun., Do." in the roster of that school, which was printed in 1794 under the title, " An Address of the Visitors and Governors of St. John's College to the Senate of Maryland." Three signers of the Declaration of Independence, Charles Carroll of Carrollton, Samuel Chase, and Thomas Stone, served on the Board of Visitors and Governors in the early days of St. John's, as did also John Eager Howard. A fourth signer, William Paca, was among the petitioners for the College charter. Francis Scott Key was graduated from St. John's in 17¢, and Reverdy Johnson, Ambassador to Great Britian, in l8II. Founded at a time when problems of self-government were uppermost in men's minds, the College was, until the Civil War, a training school for many who were prominent in state and national affairs. The advantageous location of St. John's College became increasingly apparent. As early as 1841, David Ridgely, in his "Annals of Annapolis,"· writes, " The peculiar advantages to youth in being CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE 21 educated at this seminary are numerous and evident; with respect to health, as far as a high and dry soil, with pure air, will contribute to its preservation, or restore it when impaired, few places can be put in competition with it, and none can excel it. The sessions of the general assembly and the meetings of the courts of appeals, chancery, and county, are so obviously beneficial to those young men who may be called to the public service, or enter into the profession of the law, that no parent, especially a citizen of our State, should hesitate a moment to send his son, whom he desires to become eminent in any of the professions, to a place where he is the most likely to acquire those qualifications which will :ender him useful and distinguished as a statesman, or afford him the ' greatest chance of professional improvement." . During the Civil War, St. John's was used as a Union Army hospital. At the close of the war Dr. Henry Barnard, later United States Commissioner of Education, accepted the presidency. During his brief administration he r~organi.zed th~ College to ~eet changed conditions. The years smce his presidency are chiefly marked by the long and su~cessful administrat~on of Dr. Thomas Fell, inaugurated in 1886. Dr. Fell, now Presi~ent Emeritus, retired in 1923, after thirty-seven years of service the Coll_ege. His successor, Dr. Enoch Barton Garey, also President Ementus, a St. John's man of the class of 1903, served until June, 1929. In 1931, Douglas Huntly Gordon succeeded to the presidency. Upon Dr. Gordon's retiring in 1934, Colonel Woodcock, a graduate of St. John's in the class of 1903, became President. The names of the former Presidents of the College, with the dates of their services, follow: John McDowell, 1789-1807; Bethel Judd, 18o7-1820; Henry Lyon Davis, 1820-1824; Willia~ Rafferty, 1824-1831 · Hector Humphreys, 1831-1857; Cleland Kinloch Nelson, 1857-~861.

JOHN'S COLLEGE THE COLLEGE TODAY Location. St. John's College is situated on a campus of thirty-five acres in the city of Annapolis. This beautiful town, so rich in tradition and in stately pre-Revolutionary buildings, is unique as the visible expression of eighteenth-century American civilization. Annapolis lies at the mouth of the Severn River, a tributary of Chesapeake Bay, and is not only the capital of Maryland but also the site of the United States Naval Academy, whose grounds and buildings have much to interest students of American Naval history. Within an hour one can reach either Baltimore or Washington. Students at the College have an opportunity to observe at first hand the houses of Congress, the Supreme Court, and the executive departments of the National Government; likewise they can become familiar with the great collections in the Library of Congress, the Folger Shakespeare Memorial Library, and the various museums in the city. Baltimore also, with the Library of the Peabody Institute, the Walters' Gallery, the Baltimore Museum of Art, and the numerous concerts to be heard during the musical season, offers many resources to the student at St. John's. Annapolis is in close touch with the Eastern Shore of Maryland. Ferry and bus connect the city with points across the Bay and with Southern Maryland on the mainland. The College Green. On the St. John's College Green stand many reminders of the early history of Maryland. It is said that under the most ancient of its old trees, now known as the Liberty Poplar*, the colonists in 1652 concluded a treaty of peace with the Susquehannock Indians. During the troubled days before the Revolution, the patriots gathered there to discuss their wrongs. The Annapolitans assembled there to greet General Lafayette in 1824. In 1781 French forces under Rochambeau camped in Annapolis on their way to Yorktown. A memorial was erected in l9II to * This tree, which is marked by an appropriate tablet, has been preserved through the generosity of the late James T. Woodward, Esquire. CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE 23 perpetuate the memory of the French soldiers and sailors who were buried on the campus. College Buildings. McDowell Hall, the central building on the College Green, was begun in 1744 by Thomas Bladen as the Governor's Palace. Taken over by the College in 1784, it now houses the offices of administration, the class rooms, and the Student Union. The center portion of the first floor is occupied by the Great Hall, where, in 1824, two banquets and a grand ball were held in honor of General Lafayette. Flanking the Great Hall on either side are the offices of the President, the Dean, and the Registrar, and the offices of the Auditor. The upper floors include class rooms and the Carnegie Art Room. The latter contains a fine collection of books, prints, photographs, and textiles, given to the college by the Carnegie Foundation in 1926. The ground floor is given over entirely to the Student Union. Here are to be found rooms for the recreation of students-pool and game room ; card room; lounge, in which the daily papers and selected magazines are provided; the quiet room, in which quiet must be maintained at all times; and rest rooms. Here, also, in the Student Union are situated the College post office and the College book store. Humphreys Hall, built in 1835, was used as a hall of residence until June, 1929, when it was completely renovated. It now houses the Departments of Chemistry and Physics. On the ground floor are the Physics lecture room and laboratory ; on the second and third floors are the Chemistry laboratories ; and on the fourth floor a large lecture room equipped with chemistry lecture table, and at the same time a stage, which is fully provided with the necessities for dramatic presentations. Each of the instructors in the Chemistry and Physics Departments has his individual private laboratory and office in this building. The Biology Building, on the corner of College Avenue and King George Street, houses the laboratories and lecture rooms of the Biology Department. This building, which was acquired by the College in 1929, is provided with new equipment. Here also are the offices of the Biology Staff. Woodward Hall, the College Library, erected in 1899, houses approximately thirty-two thousand volumes, the nucleus of a rapidly growing collection that already contains many valuable books. Of �CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE great historical interest are four hundred books surviving from the library selected by Bishop Bray and given in 1696 to the Maryland clergy. Among the subscribers who paid for the books was Princess Anne, later Queen Anne, for whom Annapolis was named. The books were early placed in the care of King William's School and were a part of the school's property transferred to St. John's in 1785. The growth of the library in recent years has been largely due to the addition of the Ashhurst Classical Library and to the Marcus H. Benjamin, the Samuel Garner, Jr., the James D. Iglehart, and other gifts. The Library was helped materially in previous years by gifts from the Carnegie Corporation. The Matthias Hammond House (also known as the Harwood House) was built during the years 1770 to 1774 and was bought by the College in 1926. As an unsurpassed example of southern Georgian architecture, this house is open to students of American history and the fine arts. The Brice House ( 1740), and the Pinkney House ( 17 SO), are also recent additions to the college property. The Infirmary, in which there are two hospital wards, an isolation ward and a dispensary, is housed in a separate building just across from the College Green on St. John's Street. Here the College Physician holds daily office hours. The Infirmary attendants, at least one of whom is always on duty, live in the building. The Gymnasium, built in 19rn, is equipped with a maximumsize basketball floor, handball court, running track, boxing and wrestling rooms, and apparatus. For intramural and varsity sports the College has football, soccer, and lacrosse fields and tennis courts. There are two halls of residence on the College Green, Pinkney Hall ( 1855) and Randall Hall ( 1903), in addition to the five fraternity houses of the College. Randall Hall contains the College dining hall. On the southern side of the College Green is the State Memorial Hall of Records, which houses the office of the State Land Commissioner and the State archives. William's School as "the education of youth in good letters and manners." To this end the College offers courses in the liberal arts and sciences leading to the degree of Bachelor of Arts. This degree covers the work formerly covered by the degree of Bachelor of Science, and is accepted by institutions of advanced learning wherever that degree used to be required. 24 The Bachelor of Arts Course. St. John's is a non-sectarian college for men. The purpose of the College is expressed in the charter granted originally to King 25 Professional Preparation. Primarily a college of liberal arts, St. John's prepares its graduates to enter professional schools. The degree from St John's is recognized everywhere by graduate schools, and in many cases work taken at St. John's is accepted for advanced standing at these institutions. The specific courses which a student should take to prepare himself for graduate study in any department are indicated to some extent by the requirements for majors, described hereafter. The Faculty will be glad to entertain further inquiries, and to furnish information concerning preparation for any profession. For those who are interested, the following information may be offered here : Medicine. At St. John's, a specially planned program, the essentials of which may be completed in two years, includes the work designated by the Council on Medical Education of the American Medical Association as the basic requirement for entrance into class A medical schools. The leading medical schools of the country, however, require the bachelor's degree for admission. They expect not only a grounding in the biological and physico-chemical sciences but also a broad and liberal general foundation. They recommend especially a thorough training in the use of the English language for the clear and accurate expression of ideas. Each student is urged to choose as early as possible the medical school which he desires to enter so that he can fulfill its special requirements. Engineering. The advisers of students intending to study engineering will plan programs of study covering the groundwork which leads to all branches of the profession. As many non-technical courses as possible will be recommended, for leading engineers consider that it is unwise to work entirely in subjects of a professional character until general study has so broadened a student's �26 CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE views that he has an outlook valuable in itself as well as in assisting him to make a thoughtful choice of his precise field of technical work. Law. Students who are planning to study law are advised to diversify their studies as much as possible. It has been said by a prominent educator, that no law student can afford to ignore economics, government, psychology, the methods of the natural sciences, or English and American history. Courses in history and government are recommended as especially helpful. A thorough training in the expression of ideas in the English language is considered to be indispensable. The connection between other courses in the Division of the Social Sciences and Philosophy, and particular branches of the law will be pointed out to students oy their Advisers. Business Administration. Students preparing to enter business, with or without training at graduate schools of business administration, should take work in the field of economics. Courses in economics will be of aid in the years of business apprenticeship, and should help to create that broad point of view expected of the business executive. Church Attendance. The College encourages, but does not compel, attendance at church. There are six churches and one synagogue in Annapolis, all of which invite attendance by students. The churches and their respective pastors are as follows: St. Anne's Protestant Episcopal, the Rev. Dr. Edward D. Johnson; Calvary Methodist Episcopal, the Rev. E. Cranston Riggin; College Avenue Baptist, the Rev. Roger I. Berghauser; Fii-st Presbyterian, the Rev. Dr. James J. Coale; St. Martin's Evangelical Lutheran, the Rev. Harry G. Yaggi; St. Mary's Roman Catholic (Redemptorist Fathers), the Rev. Francis Gallagher, C.SS.R. ; Kenesth Israel Synagogue, Rabbi Morris E. Gordon. Chapel services are conducted in the Great Hall of the College on Tuesday of each week. Lectures and Concerts. A series of lectures and concerts, arranged to come at intervals throughout the year, is given, usually in McDowell Hall. Although CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE 27 they are intended primarily for students, these occasional affairs are open to the friends of the College. The program of lectures for 1935-36 included Sir Herbert Ames on " The League of Nations and the Abyssinian Dispute " and Antonio Cuturi Italian Consul in Baltimore, on " Historical Aspects of the Italo-Ethiopian Question." Lectures given under the auspices of the various departmental and student clubs were also open to all members of the College. A piano recital was presented by Austin Conradi; George and Elizabeth Bolek gave a joint voice and piano recital. Dr. Richard Kuehnemund of the St. John's Faculty, inaugurating a series of Sunday evening musicales, presented a piano recital. Guest artists appeared also with the St. John's Symphony Orchestra, which presented three concerts during the year. Lectures on topics of current interest, by prominent authorities, are given throughout the year, on Friday evenings, at the United States Naval Academy. Library Lectures. Important in the life of the College are the informal meetings in the King William Room of the Library, arranged by the Librarian and her assistants. Tea is served and lectures on subjects of interest are given. Students, Faculty, Faculty wives and friends of the College find a common meeting ground in the College Library. During 1935-36, six lectures were giventwo by members of the St. John's College Faculty, and four by guest speakers. The program of lectures was as follows: Dr. F. W. Appel, Associate Professor of Biology, St. John's College, "The Rise and Fall of Population"; Dr. Kent Roberts Greenfield, Professor of Modern European History, Johns Hopkins University, "Italy in Browning"; Dr. Joseph T.

JOHN'S COLLEGE Student Activities. The College encourages students to take part in activities outside the curriculum. New student organizations must receive the approval of the Dean. 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. This Council, which meets weekly, has supervision particularly over questions of student conduct. A representative from each dormitory and from each fraternity comprise its membership. Officers for the year 1936-37 are: Ernest Neal Cory, Jr., '37, President; James Harrison Rowe, '38, Secretary. Athletics.

Application for ad·mission should be filed by every candidate as early as possible in the yeOIY in which he hopes to enter. On the application form, supplied by the Registrar upon request, the candidate should furnish the names of the schools he has attended, and the names of persons who can submit testimonials concerning his character. It is customary for the Registrar to write directly to the principaJ of each school for a recommendation of the student and a transcript of the student's record. The Registrar writes also to the other persons who can certify to the applicant's character and personality. As soon as all credentials have been secured the candidate's record is considered and appraised; and as promptly as possible thereafter the applicant is notified of the action taken concerning his admission. Since considerable time may be spent in !?ecuring the proper .credentials, it is desirable that application blanks, fully filled in, should be filed early, preferably before June first. Requirements for Admission. The general requirement for admission is the standard four-year high-school course, or its equivalent. More specifically, the requirement calls for (I) the recommendation of the school principal or head master, and (2) fifteen units of acceptable work of secondaryschool level. A unit of entrance credit in any subject except English represents four or five school periods of work a week for approximately thirty-six weeks; in other words, a full year's work in a secondary school. In English a unit is more than a full year's work, four years of work being valued as three entrance units. For a list of the subjects and units specifically required, see the "Summary of Subjects Which May be Offered for Admission". Admission by Certificate. Graduates of accredited high schools, private schools, academies, and preparatory schools are admitted without examination if the transcripts of their records. cover fully the fifteen units required for admission. 2 �32 CATALOGUE OF ST.

Occasionally St. John's College admits " on trial " a limited number of applicants whose school work has been of a standard below that required by their principals for unqualified recommendation, but who give evidence of sufficient ability and determination to do satisfactory college work. Students who are admitted on trial are told, at the time of admission, exactly what prescriptions they must fulfill in order to make up their deficiencies. As soon as these prescriptions are fulfilled and the student has presented a satisfactory record in his college work, he is relieved from the "on trial" restriction and is placed in good standing.

Students who transfer to St. John's from other colleges and universities should file applications for admission similar to those filed by other new students. The routine of admission is the same as that followed in admitting high school graduates, but the student's college record, not his high school record, furnishes the basis for admission. Official statements must be submitted from the institutions which he has attended, showing his status at the time of transfer and a list of the courses he has pursued, with the grades attained. Advanced Standing. Students who transfer from approved collegiate institutions may petition for advanced standing on the basis of the college courses they have taken and passed. In controversial cases examinations may be required before advanced standing can be granted. CATALOGUE OF ST, JOHN'S COLLEGE 35 PROCEDURE FOR NEW STUDENTS Routine of Admission. See " Admission ". Residence Assignments at the College. All students not living at home are required to live in College buildings (all fraternities are housed in College buildings) and to take their meals in the College dining hall. The associations brought about by residence at the College are an essential part of college life. Most of the rooms in the residence halls are arranged so that two students may live together. A few rooms are arranged for three students. Freshmen are assigned to rooms in the dormitories in the order of their acceptance by the Committee on Admission. They are urged to indicate on their applications for admission the names of other students with whom they would like to live. Students who have no acquaintances at the College are given tentative assignments which are subject to change after the student arrives at the College. It should be noted that no room assignment can be made and no reservation held until the candidate for admission has paid to the College his matriculation fee of fifteen dollars. Room Furnishings. Each dormitory room is provided with the necessary furniture, including a single bed with mattress and pillow, a chiffonier, a study table, and chairs. Towels, bed linen, and blankets are to be supplied by the student, as are also such decorations as window draperies, dresser scarfs, and rugs. The student should consult his incoming room mate before decorating his room. The College maintains the care of the room. Arrival at. the College. The residence halls and the dining room are ordinarily closed to students until noon of the Saturday preceding the opening of College. Students usually arrive on Monday of opening week. All students. both new and old, are required to register for their �36 CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE courses on Tuesday (registration day), and to attend thereafter such academic exercises as they may have. The regular academic engagements are listed in the College Calendar, which thus gives to old as well as to new students a notice of when to come to College. Special academic functions are announced by occasional notices. College Routine. The section of the Catalogue deii.ling with "General Regulations " furnishes much additional information for the entering student. CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE 37 FEES Matriculation Fee. For each new student there is a matriculation fee of $15. This fee is due and payable to the College at the time of application for admission. Since this fee covers the expense of admittirig and enrolling the student, admission cannot be considered complete, and no dormitory room can be assigned or reserved, until it is paid. Annual Fees.

SENIOR FELLOWSHIPS The Senior Fellowships were created by the Board of Visitors and Governors in November, 1928. The resolution of the Board as amended at the meeting in May, 1930, follows: For the purpose of improving the scholarship and elevating the intellectual outlook of the student body of St. John's College, and for the further purpose of making clear the difference between academic freedom as a reality and academic freedom as a mere form of words, it is Resolved: 1. That there are hereby established the Senior Fellowships of St. John's College. 2. That annually there shall ·be elected at the last quarterly meeting of the Board, before Commencement of each year, not more than three members of the Junior Class of that year, to be Senior Fellows of St. John's College during the following year. 3. That election to the Senior Fellowship shall be made by the Board of Visitors and Governors of the College, upon the nomination and recommendation of the President and Faculty. In making nominations and recommendations for the Senior Fellowships the President and Faculty shall take into consideration, and be guided by, not merely the academic grades attained by the students during the first three years of their cour~e, though due weight shall be given to these grades; but also, and chiefly, by the interest in, devotion to, and promise of notable achievement in the intellectual life, as evidenced by the work and attitudes of the students during the first three years of their course. 4. That the sole requirement which shall be made of a Senior Fellow after his election shall be that he must be in residence at St. John's College during the academic year following his election. During the year of tenure. of his Fellowship, the Fellow shall not be required to attend classes, or to take examinations, or to pay any fees whatever to the college. At the end of the year of the Fellowship, the Fellow shall be given his degree in course. During the tenure of his Fellowship, the Fellow shall be given complete and absolute freedom to pursue the intellectual life in residence at St. John's College in whatever manner and direction he himself chooses, as the guest of the college. 5. That a Senior Fellowship can be terminated during the year of its tenure only because of the commission of a crime, as defined by the laws �40 CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE of the State of Maryland, by the Fellow; or because the Fellow becomes insane, as defined by the laws of the State of Maryland. 6. That this resolution shall become operative and go into effect immediately upon its passage, and that announcement of the existence of the Senior Fellowships of St. John's College, and the conditions of their award and tenure shall be made in all future catalogues of the college.

The Adviser helps the student at registration times, and confers with him occasionally throughout the year. The student should call upon his Adviser freely for assistance at any time. In assigning Advisers to new students, the Registrar considers the information which is furnished on the application for admission. Each student should give as much information about himself as possible, so that he may have sympathetic guidance. Before May first in his first year each Freshman chooses one subject in which he will do his major work. He is then assigned to an Adviser who teaches in the department of the major. The major Adviser takes the place of the Freshman Adviser: with his help the student plans his studies for the remaining years, and selects the courses he will take during the ensuing year. The Dean. In addition to the Advisers, there is the Dean who acts as counselor to all students and .who enforces the general regulations of the College. Counselor to the Freshman Class. The Assistant to the President acts as Special Counselor to the Freshman Class. Registration. All students, both new and old, are required to register· at fixed times. The registration day for the first half-year is indicated �so CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE in the College Calendar. At mid-years there is a registration for the second half-year, and in the spring there is an early registration for the year following. The times for these registrations are announced by special notices. Each time, when a student is ready to make a choice of studies, he should go to his assigned Faculty Adviser. A study card, approved and signed by the Adviser, must be returned to the Office and filed before 4 p. m. on the day of registration. Amount of Work Required. No regular student in any year may take fewer than four courses. If the number of courses rieeded for promotion to the next higher class exceeds four, the student will be required to carry the requisite number for promotion, except by special dispensation from the Dean. Change of Program. During the first two weeks in either half-year students rnay drop or add courses with the permission of the Dean and with the approval of the Adviser. Except for extraordinary circumstances, after November I no course may be dropped until mid-year; and, in the second halfyear, no course may be dropped after March r. A special form must be filed at the Registrar's Office for any change of program. Courses Required of Freshmen. 51 Requirements for Promotion. For all students entering St. John's for the first time in September, 1935, or thereafter, the .requirements for promotion are as follows: To the Sophomore Class: A student must have passed in at least four courses, in two of which his grades must be C or higher. To the Junior Class: A student must have passed in at least nine courses, in five of which his grades must be C or higher. To the Senior Class : A student must have passed in at least thirteen courses, in eight of which his grades must be C or higher. Requirements for promotion of all students entering before September, 1935, are as follows: The course in prescribed English composition is required of every Freshman unless he satisfies the Department of English by examination that the prescription is not necessary in his case. In addition, every Freshman should register for hygiene and fot physical training. The student's other courses may be elected from any of the courses regularly open to Freshmen. An examination for exemption from the prescribed course in English composition is required of all new students on the day of the formal opening of College. Students who originally register for only four courses, and who gain exemption from English I, will be required to register for an additional course, since no student may take fewer than four courses. At the end of the year credit for one full course in English will be entered on the records of exempted Freshmen. To the Sophomore Class: A student must have passed in at least four courses, in two of which his grades must be C or higher. To the Junior Class: A student must have passed in at least nine courses, in five of which his grades must be C or higher. To the Senior Class : A student must have passed in at least thirteen courses, in seven of which his grades must be C or higher. Physical Training and Hygiene Requirements. Attendance at College Exercises. Attendance at all classes and at all other academic exercises 1s required. The Dean will exercise his discretion in summoning men who ignore this rule, in warning them against further absences, and in placing on probation men who fail to cooperate. Two years of physical training are required for the degree. These. should be completed during the first two years of college work. A ten-week course in hygiene is also required, ordinarily during the first year. The consequences of failing to satisfy the promotion requirements are described under " probation." Amount of Work Permitted. No student will be permitted to take more than five courses in any one year except by special permission of the Dean. In no case may more than six courses be taken. The Dean may at any time require that a student's program be lightened, even if special permission to take additional courses has previously been granted. �52 CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE Unexcused absence from classes either immediately before or immediately after holidays or recesses will at all times be subject to discipline. Excused Absences. Absence from classes because of illness or because of some unavoidable occurrence may be excused by the Dean. Absence because of illness is excused by the Dean only on the recommendation of the College Physician. See the section on " Infirmary Service," under " Residence Regulations." Examinations. Informal hour examinations, covering the work of approximately the first seven weeks of each half-year, are held in all courses in November and in March. Mid-year examinations are held at the end of the first halfyear. For courses which end at mid-years, these are final examinations. Final examinations for full cour~es, and for half-courses which begin at mid-years, are held at the end of the year. Grades. Students are graded by letter grades as follows : A, Excellent ; B, Very good; C, Satisfactory; D, Passing, but unsatisfactory;, F, Failure; I, Incomplete. An incomplete grade is automatically changed to F in case the work is not completed within the following prescribed periods : at mid-year, within four weeks; at the end of the year, within the · first six weeks of the folfowing academic year. Reports. Reports are sent to each student, to his parents, ·and to his Adviser after each grade period; that is, after the November hourexaminations, after the mid-year examinations, after the March hour-examinations, and at the end of the year. Reports of grades are not given out at the end of the school year, however, until the student's College bills are paid. Good Standing. In order to remain in good standing, a student must maintain at all times a record which, if it were final, would entitle him to CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE 53 promotion to the next higher class or, in the case of a Senior, to the degree. The Rank List. After the mid-year examinations and after the final examinations each student whose record is not unsatisfactory is assigned to one of the four groups of a Rank List on the basis of the work he has accomplished in the preceding half-year. Each student is ranked according to the grades attained in his best four courses except tho_se men whose requirement for the Sophomore year is five courses. Grades required for standing in each of the groups follow : Group I. Excellence. A minimum of three grades of A and one of B (with no failures in entire record). Group II. Distinction. A minimum of three grades of B and one of C (with no grades of D in best four courses). Group III. Satisfactory. A minimum of three grades of C and one of D. Group IV. Passing. A minimum which will satisfy promotion requirements but not high enough to fulfill the requirements of a higher group. The Dean's List. The Dean's List consists of the names of all students who have attained places in Groups I or II of the Rank List. Men on the Dean's List are trusted by the Dean with greater responsibility and discretion in the ordering of their college work; they are allowed to observe as they may wish the rules regarding attendance, and are not subject to discipline because of absences. Abuse of these privileges over an extended time may bring about the rem~val of any man's name from the Dean's List. Any man on the List who for any reason is placed on probation automatically loses the aforesaid privileges. Probation because of Unsatisfactory Scholarship. A student who fails to make at the mid-year grade period a record which, if it were final, would entitle him to promotion, may'be placed on probation and warned by the Dean that unless his record improves, his probation may be closed. �CATALOGUE 9F ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE A student whose record is unsatisfactory as a result of the November or March hour-examinations ordinarily is warned by the Dean. However, if his record is exceedingly low, he may be placed on probation in November, or in March. 1 A student who at the end of the year fails to make a record which entitles him to promotion is dropped to the next lower class and placed on probation. Repeating Courses. A course which has been passed may not be taken again in order to raise a grade. If a student has received the grade of F in any course, he may repeat the course, or he may substitute another course. If the course failed is one required for the degree or for the fulfillment of the major requirements, it must be repeated. 54 Continued Failure to Satisfy Promotion Requirements. Any student who has been dropped to the next lower class because of his failure to satisfy his promotion requirements, and who during his second year in the same class again fails to satisfy requirements for promotion to the next higher class, will have his connection with the College finally severed. Men on Probation. Men who are placed on probation are expected to exert every effort to regain good standing at the earliest possible moment. A student on probation for any cause will be required to maintain a perfect record in attendance. He may not participate in any athletic contest as a member of a team; and, at the discretion of the Dean, he may be required to withdraw from non-athletic activities. If the student is reported for any matter of discipline while on probation, his probation will, in most cases, be closed without further warning. Probation as Discipline. A student may be placed on probation for failure to maintain a satisfactory attendance record. Unsatisfactory conduct or neglect of any summons from a College officer may also bring the penalty of probation. Relief from Probation. A student who has been placed on probation for disciplinary reasons is relieved from probation promptly when he has demonstrated that he no longer should be on probation. A student who has been placed on probation because of unsatisfactory scholarship will, in most cases, be relieved from probation at the next grade period if a satisfactorv record is then achieved. 55 Continuation of Work in Prescribed English Composition. A student who has passed English I but who still needs training in writing English may, at any time during his Sophomore or Junior ye~r, be required by any instructor, with the consent of the Dean, to return to the English Department for supplementary work, and may be required to continue this work without credit until excused by the English Department or by the Dean. Transfer of Course Credits from Other Colleges. Students who take work at summer schools may petition for transfer of credits on the basis of the work taken at those institutions. Credit is not automatically transferred, but is subject to the approval of the Faculty member at St. John's who teaches the most nearly similar subject. In order to be certain that a given credit will be transferable, the student should confer with the proper Faculty members and with the Dean before going to summer school. Upon his return the student must submit a transcript of his summer school record. Inasmuch as the formal approval of credit may take some time, the student is urged to submit his transcript and his petition for credit immediately after the conclusion of his summer course. In controversial cases examinations may be required before credit can be granted. IV.

Since the student does not announce the choice of his major until the end of his first year, Freshmen are advised to consider the matter of languages very carefully before finally submitting their study cards for the first year. 56 Courses Required for the Degree. During the four years of the work for the Bachelor of Arts degree, the student must include in his program the following courses: 1. English 1 (unless anticipated). 2. Required courses for fulfilling the prescription of his major department (approximately six courses). 3· Any language courses prescribed by his major department. 4. Three courses for distribution.

All courses offered are grouped in three Divisions : (I) The Division of Languages, Literature, and Art, (2) the Division of the Social Sciences and Philosophy, and (3) the Division of the Sciences and Mathematics. The student's major subject falls in one of these three divisions. The student must pass three courses divided between the other two divisions, in not less than two departments which are not represented by courses taken or to be taken in fulfillment of the requirements of the major. Unless the student has passed in his preparatory school a course in laboratory science approved by the College, he must pass at least one coUege course in a laboratory science. Major Courses Counting for Distribution. No course taken to satisfy the requirements of the major may be used for distribution unless the major includes more than six full courses. Major Courses. At the end of his Freshman year each student is required to designate his major subject. An instructor in that subject is assigned as his Adviser for the rest of his College course. Each student is required to plan, with his Adviser, a tentative program for the Sophomore, Junior, and Senior years, including all of the · courses required for the chosen major. It is advisable for the student to take in the Sophomore year any elementary courses which are required. V. REQUIREMENTS FOR MAJORS Biology.

In all cases where a student selects a major field in which a comprehensive examination is required for graduation, the Head of such Department will outline for him, at the beginning of the Sophomore year, a general course of study preparatory for such examination, and will at regular intervals confer with such student as to his progress. If, at any time, the Head of the Department is convinced that such student is neglecting his preparation for the comprehensive examination, he will bring the matter to the attention of the Dean and, with the latter's approval, will remove such student from that major field, or will require other changes in his program for graduation. Notwithstanding the requirements specified above for comprehensive examinations in the major fields of the Classics, Economics, English, Romance Languages, German, Government, History, Mathematics, Philosophy, Political Science, and Social Sciences, and.in lieu thereof, beginning in 1936-37, a student may offer for graduation the completion of twenty courses with grades of C or 3 �64 CATALOGUE OF ST.

The three additional courses must be selected with the approval of the Head of the Department wherein lies the major field. Under this plan the student would normally take five courses in. each of the four years. d. He shall, towards the end of his Senior year, pass a comprehensive oral and written examination in his major subject before a board composed of the instructors of the major group, other members of the Faculty, and at least one visiting examiner. VI. DEGREES WITH HONOR AND DISTINCTION In order· to encourage high scholarship and serious interest in learning, the college in 1927 established degrees" with honor" and " with distinction ". Degrees with Honor. Highest honor will be awarded to those students who have pursued during their last two years a course of study in some measure independent of regular courses and leading to a comprehensive examination in one field of knowledge. Opportunity will be given to acquire a more complete mastery of one subject than has ordinarily been done under the course system. In some departments there will be opportunity for original research and the writing of a thesis. The examination may be conducted not only by the major department and other members of the Faculty, but also by competent persons outside the College. The requirements for the degree " with honor" or " cum honore " are as follows : a. The candidate shall, at some time before the end of the Junior year, make application to the Dean for acceptance as a candidate for honors, and must have therefor the approval of his Adviser and of the department of his major. b. He shall obtain a general average of at least 80 for the four years, and an average in his major subject of at least 85.* c. He shall, either during his Junior and Senior years, or during one of them, accomplish special work in his major subject, the type and amount of which shall be decided in conference between him and the instructors in his major department. * For determining comparable averages, the mid-point of each grade-range in the following scale is used : A = 100-90, B = Sg-80, C = 79-70, and D=69-6o. 65 Degrees with Distinction. A degree " with distinction " or " cum laude " will be granted to any student who has done especially good work in all the courses which he has taken. A student to win this degree must, ·during a regularly required residence in the College, obtain an average of 85 or above.* Degrees " with great distinction,'' or .. magna cum laude,'' will be granted by vote of the Faculty in rare cases to altogether exceptional students. A student may win a degree both " with disti~ction " in general studies and" with honor" in his major subject. �66 CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE * Art SO.

JOHN'S COLLEGE The story of St. John's College begins in 1696 with the establish~ ment at Annapolis of King William's School. In that year an act was passed of which the following is an extract : . CHAP. XVII A Petitionary act for free-schools. Lib. LL. No. :l. fol. 115. Dread Sovereign . . • . Being excited by his present Excellency Francis Nicholson, Esq.; your Majesty's Governor of this your Province, his Zeal for your Majesty's Service, pious Endeavors 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 most excellent majesty, by and 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 freeschool, may be made, erected, founded, propagated and established under your royal patronage. And that the most reverend · father in God, Thomas, by Divine Providence lord-archbishop 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. Laws of Maryland, Session of July I-9, I696: CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE 19 King William's School, established in accordance with this Act, flourished until the Revolution, when, according to tradition, its building became a gunshop. In 1784 the Legislature granted the charter for St. John's College; in the following year an act was passed which transferred the masters, students, and funds of King William's School to St. John's. The College has, therefore, a tradition reaching back to early colonial times. The General Assembly wrote into the charter of the College the principles of freedom which have earned for Maryland the name of the Land of Sanctuary. 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: 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 honors 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 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. The " fundamental and inviolable principles " have been at all times maintained. An early map of Annapolis, preserved in the Offices of Administration, designates St. John's as the " Collegeall denominations." The College is, as it has at all times been, wholly non-denominational. �20 CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE President Washington visited the College in 1791. After hi& visit he addressed this letter to the Faculty of the College: To the Faculty of St. John's College: GENTLEMEN :-The satisfaction which I have derived from my visit 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 mature 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 youth who are favored with your care. GEORGE VV'ASHINGTON. April 17, 1791. .I He gave further evidence of his interest by sending to the College in 1798, his adopted son, George Washington Parke Custis, whose name may be found in the College records as a member of the class of 1799· In 1794 President Washington's nephews, Fairfax and Lawrence, attended the " school for grammar and the English language " and are inscribed as "Washington, sen., Virginia" and "Washington, jun., Do." in the roster of that school, which was printed in 1794 under the title, " An Address of the Visitors and Governors of St. John's College to the Senate of Maryland." Three signers of the Declaration of Independence, Charles Carroll of Carrollton, Samuel Chase, and Thomas Stone, served on the Board of Visitors and Governors in the early days of St. John's, as did also John Eager Howard. A fourth signer, William Paca, was among the petitioners for the College charter. Francis Scott Key was graduated from St. John's in 17¢, and Reverdy Johnson, Ambassador to Great Britian, in l8II. Founded at a time when problems of self-government were uppermost in men's minds, the College was, until the Civil War, a training school for many who were prominent in state and national affairs. The advantageous location of St. John's College became increasingly apparent. As early as 1841, David Ridgely, in his "Annals of Annapolis,"· writes, " The peculiar advantages to youth in being CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE 21 educated at this seminary are numerous and evident; with respect to health, as far as a high and dry soil, with pure air, will contribute to its preservation, or restore it when impaired, few places can be put in competition with it, and none can excel it. The sessions of the general assembly and the meetings of the courts of appeals, chancery, and county, are so obviously beneficial to those young men who may be called to the public service, or enter into the profession of the law, that no parent, especially a citizen of our State, should hesitate a moment to send his son, whom he desires to become eminent in any of the professions, to a place where he is the most likely to acquire those qualifications which will :ender him useful and distinguished as a statesman, or afford him the ' greatest chance of professional improvement." . During the Civil War, St. John's was used as a Union Army hospital. At the close of the war Dr. Henry Barnard, later United States Commissioner of Education, accepted the presidency. During his brief administration he r~organi.zed th~ College to ~eet changed conditions. The years smce his presidency are chiefly marked by the long and su~cessful administrat~on of Dr. Thomas Fell, inaugurated in 1886. Dr. Fell, now Presi~ent Emeritus, retired in 1923, after thirty-seven years of service the Coll_ege. His successor, Dr. Enoch Barton Garey, also President Ementus, a St. John's man of the class of 1903, served until June, 1929. In 1931, Douglas Huntly Gordon succeeded to the presidency. Upon Dr. Gordon's retiring in 1934, Colonel Woodcock, a graduate of St. John's in the class of 1903, became President. The names of the former Presidents of the College, with the dates of their services, follow: John McDowell, 1789-1807; Bethel Judd, 18o7-1820; Henry Lyon Davis, 1820-1824; Willia~ Rafferty, 1824-1831 · Hector Humphreys, 1831-1857; Cleland Kinloch Nelson, 1857-~861.

JOHN'S COLLEGE THE COLLEGE TODAY Location. St. John's College is situated on a campus of thirty-five acres in the city of Annapolis. This beautiful town, so rich in tradition and in stately pre-Revolutionary buildings, is unique as the visible expression of eighteenth-century American civilization. Annapolis lies at the mouth of the Severn River, a tributary of Chesapeake Bay, and is not only the capital of Maryland but also the site of the United States Naval Academy, whose grounds and buildings have much to interest students of American Naval history. Within an hour one can reach either Baltimore or Washington. Students at the College have an opportunity to observe at first hand the houses of Congress, the Supreme Court, and the executive departments of the National Government; likewise they can become familiar with the great collections in the Library of Congress, the Folger Shakespeare Memorial Library, and the various museums in the city. Baltimore also, with the Library of the Peabody Institute, the Walters' Gallery, the Baltimore Museum of Art, and the numerous concerts to be heard during the musical season, offers many resources to the student at St. John's. Annapolis is in close touch with the Eastern Shore of Maryland. Ferry and bus connect the city with points across the Bay and with Southern Maryland on the mainland. The College Green. On the St. John's College Green stand many reminders of the early history of Maryland. It is said that under the most ancient of its old trees, now known as the Liberty Poplar*, the colonists in 1652 concluded a treaty of peace with the Susquehannock Indians. During the troubled days before the Revolution, the patriots gathered there to discuss their wrongs. The Annapolitans assembled there to greet General Lafayette in 1824. In 1781 French forces under Rochambeau camped in Annapolis on their way to Yorktown. A memorial was erected in l9II to * This tree, which is marked by an appropriate tablet, has been preserved through the generosity of the late James T. Woodward, Esquire. CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE 23 perpetuate the memory of the French soldiers and sailors who were buried on the campus. College Buildings. McDowell Hall, the central building on the College Green, was begun in 1744 by Thomas Bladen as the Governor's Palace. Taken over by the College in 1784, it now houses the offices of administration, the class rooms, and the Student Union. The center portion of the first floor is occupied by the Great Hall, where, in 1824, two banquets and a grand ball were held in honor of General Lafayette. Flanking the Great Hall on either side are the offices of the President, the Dean, and the Registrar, and the offices of the Auditor. The upper floors include class rooms and the Carnegie Art Room. The latter contains a fine collection of books, prints, photographs, and textiles, given to the college by the Carnegie Foundation in 1926. The ground floor is given over entirely to the Student Union. Here are to be found rooms for the recreation of students-pool and game room ; card room; lounge, in which the daily papers and selected magazines are provided; the quiet room, in which quiet must be maintained at all times; and rest rooms. Here, also, in the Student Union are situated the College post office and the College book store. Humphreys Hall, built in 1835, was used as a hall of residence until June, 1929, when it was completely renovated. It now houses the Departments of Chemistry and Physics. On the ground floor are the Physics lecture room and laboratory ; on the second and third floors are the Chemistry laboratories ; and on the fourth floor a large lecture room equipped with chemistry lecture table, and at the same time a stage, which is fully provided with the necessities for dramatic presentations. Each of the instructors in the Chemistry and Physics Departments has his individual private laboratory and office in this building. The Biology Building, on the corner of College Avenue and King George Street, houses the laboratories and lecture rooms of the Biology Department. This building, which was acquired by the College in 1929, is provided with new equipment. Here also are the offices of the Biology Staff. Woodward Hall, the College Library, erected in 1899, houses approximately thirty-two thousand volumes, the nucleus of a rapidly growing collection that already contains many valuable books. Of �CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE great historical interest are four hundred books surviving from the library selected by Bishop Bray and given in 1696 to the Maryland clergy. Among the subscribers who paid for the books was Princess Anne, later Queen Anne, for whom Annapolis was named. The books were early placed in the care of King William's School and were a part of the school's property transferred to St. John's in 1785. The growth of the library in recent years has been largely due to the addition of the Ashhurst Classical Library and to the Marcus H. Benjamin, the Samuel Garner, Jr., the James D. Iglehart, and other gifts. The Library was helped materially in previous years by gifts from the Carnegie Corporation. The Matthias Hammond House (also known as the Harwood House) was built during the years 1770 to 1774 and was bought by the College in 1926. As an unsurpassed example of southern Georgian architecture, this house is open to students of American history and the fine arts. The Brice House ( 1740), and the Pinkney House ( 17 SO), are also recent additions to the college property. The Infirmary, in which there are two hospital wards, an isolation ward and a dispensary, is housed in a separate building just across from the College Green on St. John's Street. Here the College Physician holds daily office hours. The Infirmary attendants, at least one of whom is always on duty, live in the building. The Gymnasium, built in 19rn, is equipped with a maximumsize basketball floor, handball court, running track, boxing and wrestling rooms, and apparatus. For intramural and varsity sports the College has football, soccer, and lacrosse fields and tennis courts. There are two halls of residence on the College Green, Pinkney Hall ( 1855) and Randall Hall ( 1903), in addition to the five fraternity houses of the College. Randall Hall contains the College dining hall. On the southern side of the College Green is the State Memorial Hall of Records, which houses the office of the State Land Commissioner and the State archives. William's School as "the education of youth in good letters and manners." To this end the College offers courses in the liberal arts and sciences leading to the degree of Bachelor of Arts. This degree covers the work formerly covered by the degree of Bachelor of Science, and is accepted by institutions of advanced learning wherever that degree used to be required. 24 The Bachelor of Arts Course. St. John's is a non-sectarian college for men. The purpose of the College is expressed in the charter granted originally to King 25 Professional Preparation. Primarily a college of liberal arts, St. John's prepares its graduates to enter professional schools. The degree from St John's is recognized everywhere by graduate schools, and in many cases work taken at St. John's is accepted for advanced standing at these institutions. The specific courses which a student should take to prepare himself for graduate study in any department are indicated to some extent by the requirements for majors, described hereafter. The Faculty will be glad to entertain further inquiries, and to furnish information concerning preparation for any profession. For those who are interested, the following information may be offered here : Medicine. At St. John's, a specially planned program, the essentials of which may be completed in two years, includes the work designated by the Council on Medical Education of the American Medical Association as the basic requirement for entrance into class A medical schools. The leading medical schools of the country, however, require the bachelor's degree for admission. They expect not only a grounding in the biological and physico-chemical sciences but also a broad and liberal general foundation. They recommend especially a thorough training in the use of the English language for the clear and accurate expression of ideas. Each student is urged to choose as early as possible the medical school which he desires to enter so that he can fulfill its special requirements. Engineering. The advisers of students intending to study engineering will plan programs of study covering the groundwork which leads to all branches of the profession. As many non-technical courses as possible will be recommended, for leading engineers consider that it is unwise to work entirely in subjects of a professional character until general study has so broadened a student's �26 CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE views that he has an outlook valuable in itself as well as in assisting him to make a thoughtful choice of his precise field of technical work. Law. Students who are planning to study law are advised to diversify their studies as much as possible. It has been said by a prominent educator, that no law student can afford to ignore economics, government, psychology, the methods of the natural sciences, or English and American history. Courses in history and government are recommended as especially helpful. A thorough training in the expression of ideas in the English language is considered to be indispensable. The connection between other courses in the Division of the Social Sciences and Philosophy, and particular branches of the law will be pointed out to students oy their Advisers. Business Administration. Students preparing to enter business, with or without training at graduate schools of business administration, should take work in the field of economics. Courses in economics will be of aid in the years of business apprenticeship, and should help to create that broad point of view expected of the business executive. Church Attendance. The College encourages, but does not compel, attendance at church. There are six churches and one synagogue in Annapolis, all of which invite attendance by students. The churches and their respective pastors are as follows: St. Anne's Protestant Episcopal, the Rev. Dr. Edward D. Johnson; Calvary Methodist Episcopal, the Rev. E. Cranston Riggin; College Avenue Baptist, the Rev. Roger I. Berghauser; Fii-st Presbyterian, the Rev. Dr. James J. Coale; St. Martin's Evangelical Lutheran, the Rev. Harry G. Yaggi; St. Mary's Roman Catholic (Redemptorist Fathers), the Rev. Francis Gallagher, C.SS.R. ; Kenesth Israel Synagogue, Rabbi Morris E. Gordon. Chapel services are conducted in the Great Hall of the College on Tuesday of each week. Lectures and Concerts. A series of lectures and concerts, arranged to come at intervals throughout the year, is given, usually in McDowell Hall. Although CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE 27 they are intended primarily for students, these occasional affairs are open to the friends of the College. The program of lectures for 1935-36 included Sir Herbert Ames on " The League of Nations and the Abyssinian Dispute " and Antonio Cuturi Italian Consul in Baltimore, on " Historical Aspects of the Italo-Ethiopian Question." Lectures given under the auspices of the various departmental and student clubs were also open to all members of the College. A piano recital was presented by Austin Conradi; George and Elizabeth Bolek gave a joint voice and piano recital. Dr. Richard Kuehnemund of the St. John's Faculty, inaugurating a series of Sunday evening musicales, presented a piano recital. Guest artists appeared also with the St. John's Symphony Orchestra, which presented three concerts during the year. Lectures on topics of current interest, by prominent authorities, are given throughout the year, on Friday evenings, at the United States Naval Academy. Library Lectures. Important in the life of the College are the informal meetings in the King William Room of the Library, arranged by the Librarian and her assistants. Tea is served and lectures on subjects of interest are given. Students, Faculty, Faculty wives and friends of the College find a common meeting ground in the College Library. During 1935-36, six lectures were giventwo by members of the St. John's College Faculty, and four by guest speakers. The program of lectures was as follows: Dr. F. W. Appel, Associate Professor of Biology, St. John's College, "The Rise and Fall of Population"; Dr. Kent Roberts Greenfield, Professor of Modern European History, Johns Hopkins University, "Italy in Browning"; Dr. Joseph T. Singewald, Professor of Geology, Johns Hopkins University, "From Cape Town to Cairo" (illustrated) ; Dr. Katherine Jeanne Gallagher, Professor of History, Goucher College, " Some Recent Phases of International Politics " ; Mr. C. R. Walther Thomas, United States Naval Academy, " National Socialism in Germany"; Dr. Ford K. Brown, Professor of English, St. John's College, "Paradise Lost". �l 28 CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE Student Activities. The College encourages students to take part in activities outside the curriculum. New student organizations must receive the approval of the Dean. 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. This Council, which meets weekly, has supervision particularly over questions of student conduct. A representative from each dormitory and from each fraternity comprise its membership. Officers for the year 1936-37 are: Ernest Neal Cory, Jr., '37, President; James Harrison Rowe, '38, Secretary. Athletics. Varsity schedules are played in football, basketball, and lacrosse; informal games, in baseball and tennis. The students also engage in cross-country running, track, boxing, fencing, and wrestling, although intercollegiate schedules are not maintained in all of these sports. Two athletic fields provide facilities for outdoor athletics. Indoor sports are held in a new and well-equipped gymnasium. All College students in good standing are permitted to engage in varsity sports. Publications. The members of the Junior Class publish a year-book, The. RatTat. The Collegian is a newspaper published by the undergraduates. At St. John's the student publications are free from faculty control. Fraternities. There are at St. John's five national fraternities, Phi Sigma Kappa, Kappa Alpha (Southern), Alpha Kappa Pi, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, and Phi Alpha. From one-third to one-half of the students are fraternity men. CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE 29 Honorary Societies. Delta Kappa Phi, an honorary scholastic society, recognizes high scholarship by electing to membership those Juniors who have been in the first group of the Rank List at the end of their Freshman and Sophomore years, and at mid-year of their Junior year; and those Seniors who have been in the first or second groups of the Rank List at the end of their Freshman, Sophomore, and Junior years, and at mid-year of their Senior year, and who have been in the first group in at least two of these periods. Delta Omicron, another honorary organization, recognizes the student's participation in extra-curricular activities. A point system devised by this fraternity evaluates the worth of each position or membership held by the student. Clubs. The Osler Club, the Erlenmeyer Chemical Club, the Liberal Club, the German Club, and the French Club provide interesting programs for their members. Dramatics. The King William Players is a dramatic group which is managed by the students. For the last few years its productions have been directed by Professor Ford K. Brown, head of the Department of English. The Players welcome to their organization anyone who is interested in dramatics. During the year 1935-36 they presented the following plays: The Bishop Misbehaves by Frederick Jackson, and The Circle by Somerset Maugham. Musical Organizations. Under the direction of Mr. Adolph Torovsky, formerly a leader of the Naval Academy band, the students maintain a concert orchestra and a band. Three concerts are given each year by the orchestra. A Glee Club, organized in 1935-36, continues its activities under the direction of Mr. Joseph M. Florestano. In 1936-37, as in 1935-36, a group of Christmas carols was presented on the steps of McDowell Hall. Plans have been made for out-of-town concerts. I '· �30 CATALOGUE OF ST.

Application for ad·mission should be filed by every candidate as early as possible in the yeOIY in which he hopes to enter. On the application form, supplied by the Registrar upon request, the candidate should furnish the names of the schools he has attended, and the names of persons who can submit testimonials concerning his character. It is customary for the Registrar to write directly to the principaJ of each school for a recommendation of the student and a transcript of the student's record. The Registrar writes also to the other persons who can certify to the applicant's character and personality. As soon as all credentials have been secured the candidate's record is considered and appraised; and as promptly as possible thereafter the applicant is notified of the action taken concerning his admission. Since considerable time may be spent in !?ecuring the proper .credentials, it is desirable that application blanks, fully filled in, should be filed early, preferably before June first. Requirements for Admission. The general requirement for admission is the standard four-year high-school course, or its equivalent. More specifically, the requirement calls for (I) the recommendation of the school principal or head master, and (2) fifteen units of acceptable work of secondaryschool level. A unit of entrance credit in any subject except English represents four or five school periods of work a week for approximately thirty-six weeks; in other words, a full year's work in a secondary school. In English a unit is more than a full year's work, four years of work being valued as three entrance units. For a list of the subjects and units specifically required, see the "Summary of Subjects Which May be Offered for Admission". Admission by Certificate. Graduates of accredited high schools, private schools, academies, and preparatory schools are admitted without examination if the transcripts of their records. cover fully the fifteen units required for admission. 2 �32 CATALOGUE OF ST.

Students who have graduated from an approved college may also be admitted as special students, but not as candidates for graduate degrees. Admission on Trial. Occasionally St. John's College admits " on trial " a limited number of applicants whose school work has been of a standard below that required by their principals for unqualified recommendation, but who give evidence of sufficient ability and determination to do satisfactory college work. Students who are admitted on trial are told, at the time of admission, exactly what prescriptions they must fulfill in order to make up their deficiencies. As soon as these prescriptions are fulfilled and the student has presented a satisfactory record in his college work, he is relieved from the "on trial" restriction and is placed in good standing. Admission as Special Students. Exceptional students who lack the requisite entrance units may be admitted as special students.

Official statements must be submitted from the institutions which he has attended, showing his status at the time of transfer and a list of the courses he has pursued, with the grades attained. Advanced Standing. Students who transfer from approved collegiate institutions may petition for advanced standing on the basis of the college courses they have taken and passed. In controversial cases examinations may be required before advanced standing can be granted. CATALOGUE OF ST, JOHN'S COLLEGE 35 PROCEDURE FOR NEW STUDENTS Routine of Admission. See " Admission ". Residence Assignments at the College. All students not living at home are required to live in College buildings (all fraternities are housed in College buildings) and to take their meals in the College dining hall. The associations brought about by residence at the College are an essential part of college life. Most of the rooms in the residence halls are arranged so that two students may live together. A few rooms are arranged for three students. Freshmen are assigned to rooms in the dormitories in the order of their acceptance by the Committee on Admission. They are urged to indicate on their applications for admission the names of other students with whom they would like to live. Students who have no acquaintances at the College are given tentative assignments which are subject to change after the student arrives at the College. It should be noted that no room assignment can be made and no reservation held until the candidate for admission has paid to the College his matriculation fee of fifteen dollars. Room Furnishings. Each dormitory room is provided with the necessary furniture, including a single bed with mattress and pillow, a chiffonier, a study table, and chairs. Towels, bed linen, and blankets are to be supplied by the student, as are also such decorations as window draperies, dresser scarfs, and rugs. The student should consult his incoming room mate before decorating his room. The College maintains the care of the room. Arrival at. the College. The residence halls and the dining room are ordinarily closed to students until noon of the Saturday preceding the opening of College. Students usually arrive on Monday of opening week. All students. both new and old, are required to register for their �36 CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE courses on Tuesday (registration day), and to attend thereafter such academic exercises as they may have. The regular academic engagements are listed in the College Calendar, which thus gives to old as well as to new students a notice of when to come to College. Special academic functions are announced by occasional notices. College Routine. The section of the Catalogue deii.ling with "General Regulations " furnishes much additional information for the entering student. CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE 37 FEES Matriculation Fee. For each new student there is a matriculation fee of $15. This fee is due and payable to the College at the time of application for admission. Since this fee covers the expense of admittirig and enrolling the student, admission cannot be considered complete, and no dormitory room can be assigned or reserved, until it is paid. Annual Fees.

SENIOR FELLOWSHIPS The Senior Fellowships were created by the Board of Visitors and Governors in November, 1928. The resolution of the Board as amended at the meeting in May, 1930, follows: For the purpose of improving the scholarship and elevating the intellectual outlook of the student body of St. John's College, and for the further purpose of making clear the difference between academic freedom as a reality and academic freedom as a mere form of words, it is Resolved: 1. That there are hereby established the Senior Fellowships of St. John's College. 2. That annually there shall ·be elected at the last quarterly meeting of the Board, before Commencement of each year, not more than three members of the Junior Class of that year, to be Senior Fellows of St. John's College during the following year. 3. That election to the Senior Fellowship shall be made by the Board of Visitors and Governors of the College, upon the nomination and recommendation of the President and Faculty. In making nominations and recommendations for the Senior Fellowships the President and Faculty shall take into consideration, and be guided by, not merely the academic grades attained by the students during the first three years of their cour~e, though due weight shall be given to these grades; but also, and chiefly, by the interest in, devotion to, and promise of notable achievement in the intellectual life, as evidenced by the work and attitudes of the students during the first three years of their course. 4. That the sole requirement which shall be made of a Senior Fellow after his election shall be that he must be in residence at St. John's College during the academic year following his election. During the year of tenure. of his Fellowship, the Fellow shall not be required to attend classes, or to take examinations, or to pay any fees whatever to the college. At the end of the year of the Fellowship, the Fellow shall be given his degree in course. During the tenure of his Fellowship, the Fellow shall be given complete and absolute freedom to pursue the intellectual life in residence at St. John's College in whatever manner and direction he himself chooses, as the guest of the college. 5. That a Senior Fellowship can be terminated during the year of its tenure only because of the commission of a crime, as defined by the laws �40 CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE of the State of Maryland, by the Fellow; or because the Fellow becomes insane, as defined by the laws of the State of Maryland. 6. That this resolution shall become operative and go into effect immediately upon its passage, and that announcement of the existence of the Senior Fellowships of St. John's College, and the conditions of their award and tenure shall be made in all future catalogues of the college.

The Adviser helps the student at registration times, and confers with him occasionally throughout the year. The student should call upon his Adviser freely for assistance at any time. In assigning Advisers to new students, the Registrar considers the information which is furnished on the application for admission. Each student should give as much information about himself as possible, so that he may have sympathetic guidance. Before May first in his first year each Freshman chooses one subject in which he will do his major work. He is then assigned to an Adviser who teaches in the department of the major. The major Adviser takes the place of the Freshman Adviser: with his help the student plans his studies for the remaining years, and selects the courses he will take during the ensuing year. The Dean. In addition to the Advisers, there is the Dean who acts as counselor to all students and .who enforces the general regulations of the College. Counselor to the Freshman Class. The Assistant to the President acts as Special Counselor to the Freshman Class. Registration. All students, both new and old, are required to register· at fixed times. The registration day for the first half-year is indicated �so CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE in the College Calendar. At mid-years there is a registration for the second half-year, and in the spring there is an early registration for the year following. The times for these registrations are announced by special notices. Each time, when a student is ready to make a choice of studies, he should go to his assigned Faculty Adviser. A study card, approved and signed by the Adviser, must be returned to the Office and filed before 4 p. m. on the day of registration. Amount of Work Required. No regular student in any year may take fewer than four courses. If the number of courses rieeded for promotion to the next higher class exceeds four, the student will be required to carry the requisite number for promotion, except by special dispensation from the Dean. Change of Program. During the first two weeks in either half-year students rnay drop or add courses with the permission of the Dean and with the approval of the Adviser. Except for extraordinary circumstances, after November I no course may be dropped until mid-year; and, in the second halfyear, no course may be dropped after March r. A special form must be filed at the Registrar's Office for any change of program. Courses Required of Freshmen. 51 Requirements for Promotion. For all students entering St. John's for the first time in September, 1935, or thereafter, the .requirements for promotion are as follows: To the Sophomore Class: A student must have passed in at least four courses, in two of which his grades must be C or higher. To the Junior Class: A student must have passed in at least nine courses, in five of which his grades must be C or higher. To the Senior Class : A student must have passed in at least thirteen courses, in eight of which his grades must be C or higher. Requirements for promotion of all students entering before September, 1935, are as follows: The course in prescribed English composition is required of every Freshman unless he satisfies the Department of English by examination that the prescription is not necessary in his case. In addition, every Freshman should register for hygiene and fot physical training. The student's other courses may be elected from any of the courses regularly open to Freshmen. An examination for exemption from the prescribed course in English composition is required of all new students on the day of the formal opening of College. Students who originally register for only four courses, and who gain exemption from English I, will be required to register for an additional course, since no student may take fewer than four courses. At the end of the year credit for one full course in English will be entered on the records of exempted Freshmen. To the Sophomore Class: A student must have passed in at least four courses, in two of which his grades must be C or higher. To the Junior Class: A student must have passed in at least nine courses, in five of which his grades must be C or higher. To the Senior Class : A student must have passed in at least thirteen courses, in seven of which his grades must be C or higher. Physical Training and Hygiene Requirements. Attendance at College Exercises. Attendance at all classes and at all other academic exercises 1s required. The Dean will exercise his discretion in summoning men who ignore this rule, in warning them against further absences, and in placing on probation men who fail to cooperate. Two years of physical training are required for the degree. These. should be completed during the first two years of college work. A ten-week course in hygiene is also required, ordinarily during the first year. The consequences of failing to satisfy the promotion requirements are described under " probation." Amount of Work Permitted. No student will be permitted to take more than five courses in any one year except by special permission of the Dean. In no case may more than six courses be taken. The Dean may at any time require that a student's program be lightened, even if special permission to take additional courses has previously been granted. �52 CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE Unexcused absence from classes either immediately before or immediately after holidays or recesses will at all times be subject to discipline. Excused Absences. Absence from classes because of illness or because of some unavoidable occurrence may be excused by the Dean. Absence because of illness is excused by the Dean only on the recommendation of the College Physician. See the section on " Infirmary Service," under " Residence Regulations." Examinations. Informal hour examinations, covering the work of approximately the first seven weeks of each half-year, are held in all courses in November and in March. Mid-year examinations are held at the end of the first halfyear. For courses which end at mid-years, these are final examinations. Final examinations for full cour~es, and for half-courses which begin at mid-years, are held at the end of the year. Grades. Students are graded by letter grades as follows : A, Excellent ; B, Very good; C, Satisfactory; D, Passing, but unsatisfactory;, F, Failure; I, Incomplete. An incomplete grade is automatically changed to F in case the work is not completed within the following prescribed periods : at mid-year, within four weeks; at the end of the year, within the · first six weeks of the folfowing academic year. Reports. Reports are sent to each student, to his parents, ·and to his Adviser after each grade period; that is, after the November hourexaminations, after the mid-year examinations, after the March hour-examinations, and at the end of the year. Reports of grades are not given out at the end of the school year, however, until the student's College bills are paid. Good Standing. In order to remain in good standing, a student must maintain at all times a record which, if it were final, would entitle him to CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE 53 promotion to the next higher class or, in the case of a Senior, to the degree. The Rank List. After the mid-year examinations and after the final examinations each student whose record is not unsatisfactory is assigned to one of the four groups of a Rank List on the basis of the work he has accomplished in the preceding half-year. Each student is ranked according to the grades attained in his best four courses except tho_se men whose requirement for the Sophomore year is five courses. Grades required for standing in each of the groups follow : Group I. Excellence. A minimum of three grades of A and one of B (with no failures in entire record). Group II. Distinction. A minimum of three grades of B and one of C (with no grades of D in best four courses). Group III. Satisfactory. A minimum of three grades of C and one of D. Group IV. Passing. A minimum which will satisfy promotion requirements but not high enough to fulfill the requirements of a higher group. The Dean's List. The Dean's List consists of the names of all students who have attained places in Groups I or II of the Rank List. Men on the Dean's List are trusted by the Dean with greater responsibility and discretion in the ordering of their college work; they are allowed to observe as they may wish the rules regarding attendance, and are not subject to discipline because of absences. Abuse of these privileges over an extended time may bring about the rem~val of any man's name from the Dean's List. Any man on the List who for any reason is placed on probation automatically loses the aforesaid privileges. Probation because of Unsatisfactory Scholarship. A student who fails to make at the mid-year grade period a record which, if it were final, would entitle him to promotion, may'be placed on probation and warned by the Dean that unless his record improves, his probation may be closed. �CATALOGUE 9F ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE A student whose record is unsatisfactory as a result of the November or March hour-examinations ordinarily is warned by the Dean. However, if his record is exceedingly low, he may be placed on probation in November, or in March. 1 A student who at the end of the year fails to make a record which entitles him to promotion is dropped to the next lower class and placed on probation. Repeating Courses. A course which has been passed may not be taken again in order to raise a grade. If a student has received the grade of F in any course, he may repeat the course, or he may substitute another course. If the course failed is one required for the degree or for the fulfillment of the major requirements, it must be repeated. 54 Continued Failure to Satisfy Promotion Requirements. Any student who has been dropped to the next lower class because of his failure to satisfy his promotion requirements, and who during his second year in the same class again fails to satisfy requirements for promotion to the next higher class, will have his connection with the College finally severed. Men on Probation. Men who are placed on probation are expected to exert every effort to regain good standing at the earliest possible moment. A student on probation for any cause will be required to maintain a perfect record in attendance. He may not participate in any athletic contest as a member of a team; and, at the discretion of the Dean, he may be required to withdraw from non-athletic activities. If the student is reported for any matter of discipline while on probation, his probation will, in most cases, be closed without further warning. Probation as Discipline. A student may be placed on probation for failure to maintain a satisfactory attendance record. Unsatisfactory conduct or neglect of any summons from a College officer may also bring the penalty of probation. Relief from Probation. A student who has been placed on probation for disciplinary reasons is relieved from probation promptly when he has demonstrated that he no longer should be on probation. A student who has been placed on probation because of unsatisfactory scholarship will, in most cases, be relieved from probation at the next grade period if a satisfactorv record is then achieved. 55 Continuation of Work in Prescribed English Composition. A student who has passed English I but who still needs training in writing English may, at any time during his Sophomore or Junior ye~r, be required by any instructor, with the consent of the Dean, to return to the English Department for supplementary work, and may be required to continue this work without credit until excused by the English Department or by the Dean. Transfer of Course Credits from Other Colleges. Students who take work at summer schools may petition for transfer of credits on the basis of the work taken at those institutions. Credit is not automatically transferred, but is subject to the approval of the Faculty member at St. John's who teaches the most nearly similar subject. In order to be certain that a given credit will be transferable, the student should confer with the proper Faculty members and with the Dean before going to summer school. Upon his return the student must submit a transcript of his summer school record. Inasmuch as the formal approval of credit may take some time, the student is urged to submit his transcript and his petition for credit immediately after the conclusion of his summer course. In controversial cases examinations may be required before credit can be granted. IV.

See Romance Languages. General Regulations in Respect to Comprehensive Examinations. In all cases where a student selects a major field in which a comprehensive examination is required for graduation, the Head of such Department will outline for him, at the beginning of the Sophomore year, a general course of study preparatory for such examination, and will at regular intervals confer with such student as to his progress. If, at any time, the Head of the Department is convinced that such student is neglecting his preparation for the comprehensive examination, he will bring the matter to the attention of the Dean and, with the latter's approval, will remove such student from that major field, or will require other changes in his program for graduation. Notwithstanding the requirements specified above for comprehensive examinations in the major fields of the Classics, Economics, English, Romance Languages, German, Government, History, Mathematics, Philosophy, Political Science, and Social Sciences, and.in lieu thereof, beginning in 1936-37, a student may offer for graduation the completion of twenty courses with grades of C or 3 �64 CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE higher in thirteen of them, the majors being in the above fields, and the distribution being as described for the seventeen-course plan. The three additional courses must be selected with the approval of the Head of the Department wherein lies the major field. Under this plan the student would normally take five courses in. each of the four years. d. He shall, towards the end of his Senior year, pass a comprehensive oral and written examination in his major subject before a board composed of the instructors of the major group, other members of the Faculty, and at least one visiting examiner. VI. DEGREES WITH HONOR AND DISTINCTION In order· to encourage high scholarship and serious interest in learning, the college in 1927 established degrees" with honor" and " with distinction ". Degrees with Honor. Highest honor will be awarded to those students who have pursued during their last two years a course of study in some measure independent of regular courses and leading to a comprehensive examination in one field of knowledge. Opportunity will be given to acquire a more complete mastery of one subject than has ordinarily been done under the course system. In some departments there will be opportunity for original research and the writing of a thesis. The examination may be conducted not only by the major department and other members of the Faculty, but also by competent persons outside the College. The requirements for the degree " with honor" or " cum honore " are as follows : a. The candidate shall, at some time before the end of the Junior year, make application to the Dean for acceptance as a candidate for honors, and must have therefor the approval of his Adviser and of the department of his major. b. He shall obtain a general average of at least 80 for the four years, and an average in his major subject of at least 85.* c. He shall, either during his Junior and Senior years, or during one of them, accomplish special work in his major subject, the type and amount of which shall be decided in conference between him and the instructors in his major department. * For determining comparable averages, the mid-point of each grade-range in the following scale is used : A = 100-90, B = Sg-80, C = 79-70, and D=69-6o. 65 Degrees with Distinction. A degree " with distinction " or " cum laude " will be granted to any student who has done especially good work in all the courses which he has taken. A student to win this degree must, ·during a regularly required residence in the College, obtain an average of 85 or above.* Degrees " with great distinction,'' or .. magna cum laude,'' will be granted by vote of the Faculty in rare cases to altogether exceptional students. A student may win a degree both " with disti~ction " in general studies and" with honor" in his major subject. �66 CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE CATALOGUE OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE * Art SO.
