ORGANIZATIONS 19 A TRIBUTE TO EDWARD DAVIS By Gilbert Steed Nothing- gives nie greater satisfaction than to write this review of our ])resident s characteristics. As I do so I find myself realizing that his everyday acts of thoughtfulness were as natural as his cheerful personality. In looking over the past I see again during athletic events on Wilson Field a figure in white that radiated a magnetism that was as- tonishing ; one so powerful, that the very movement of his hands created a unity and harmony into a yell that will be remembered for a long time. Perhaps Davis ' experience as yell king explains the remarkable school spirit of this term — the inevitable student feeling under his lead- ership; something that just had to be. His success in making the BlO ' s feel at home so early in their new life, is just one of his original efforts that worked. When one attempts to analyze his pep and creative abilities, one discovers that it is because of his amazing versatility. He has leader- ship, artistic talent in both art and writing, scholarship, clear thinking, and above all, ])]unt honesty. No wonder everything he did was a smashing victory ! There are many achievements that are his, 1)ut I like one little in- significant incident that few know of. It was the day of the Washing- ton game, and an hour before, Eddie realized that there was no sign to welcome the rival school. Leaving more necessary work, he painted a sign to hang on the larn which read, Hello W ashington. Several asked him why he bothered to do it when someone else could ha e. His answer was one that I will alwavs remember. Manual ' s by-word is hospitality and as long as I am president I intend to do my share of expressing it. Simplicity of thought reflecting sincerity of character. This is Edward Davis, a true Midshipman !
