Y , Introduction J CCORDING to the custom established here in 1897, the class of 1903 has, 4 in this, its junior year, undertaken the stupendous task of publishing a Rat Tat, . As a result of our labor, we offer this book to our kind patrons and to the liberal public as the 1i1'szf fmizfs of them that slept Qvvhen they should have been vvritingj. You might say this is a Rough lf-lousei' book, raised by a nursery-full of infants. So We are, as far as publishing a college annual goes. Wheii you pass judgment upon the results of our inexperience and infantile struggles, please bear in mind that we go at your rating-infants. Of course, if you think this is the production of men We heartily agree with you. A book is a book. Made mostly of paper and form upon which are hung Whatever things it suits the fancy of those to Whom the hanging and decorating is entrusted. This book is meant to be a thing of beauty and a joy forever. The joy will be to those who-se task it has been to help to dress this form. Donlt imagine their joy will come from the fact of their having to vvork. Qh, no! lt will be the relax after a most painful struggle. A relax the joy of which will be proportional to the amount of labor expended by each willing vvorker. The beauty of it will be in the faces of those whose pictures are Within its covers. We let them speak for themselves. A There are many persons who clon't know a good thing when they see it. NfVe do not claim any especial merit for our Rat Tat, but sincerely hope that none of these individuals will happen upon itg for should anyone ever fail to appreciate the 190311655 with vvhich vve have tried to clothe it, vve would remind them that A perfect judge will read each piece of wit With the same spirit that its author writ. A short time ago at a baby meeting a vote was taken as to which was the best and prettiest baby. Only mothers who had babies at the meeting were allowed to vote. There were twenty-live babies present. Twenty-five mothers were there. , 9 9 1- .5-.xf lv.:-f n.-1:1 xv.-nn: 11-LL-r,-.,: a- -+1w,'11v.m1.f.m-,.r11L. -- 4 . -- Ku-vu 4, 4 .W . ,, V. f-1. 1- K R, E.

E5 E5 - , Z T : I I McDowell Hall J HE first attempt to establish a college in Maryland was made by the A A General Assembly, convened in the city of St. Mary's, in the year 1671. In 1694, thethen governor, Sir Francis Nicholson, again revived the question and offered to give money for the maintenance of a college. No action was, taken at this time, but in 1696 an act was passed which resulted in the establishment of King William's School. This act recites that the school .vvas established for the propagation of the Gospel and education of youth in good letters and manners. T Kir1g'William's School was thus established. Governor Nicholson gave to the school a lot in the town of Annapolis, with the house thereon, and the Legislature appropriated money to it, but the schoolhouse was not finished until I7OI. It Was of brick, and stood on the south side of the State House. Q In 1730 proposals for founding a college at Annapolis were made, but no legislative effect was giventhem. The -project was again revived in 1763. A committee of the General Assembly recommended that the building in the city of Annapolis which was intended for the Governor-of the province be completely finished and used for the college proposed to be established, the money for the work to come out of the public treasury. I ' This building referred to by the committee of the General Assembly is now McDowell Hall. V In 1784 the charter of St. Iohn's College was granted. By act, in 1785, the property and funds andstudents of King William'.s School were conveyed to St. Iohn's College. I Cn November II, 1789, the. College was formally opened, and the dedication was performed with much solemnity, all the public bodies being in attendance and forming a long procession from the State House to McDowell Hall. C ' , McDowell Hall is situated at about the center of our college buildings, facing College avenue and looking directly down Prince George street. In the center, on the first floor, is the chapel. This chapel extends to theientire height of the building, and Roman-like, doors open into it from the surrounding rooms. The Faculty room andthe President's office are on its right, and the reading room directly above the President's office. The Philokalian Society. has its room in the Western corner on the third floor, and the Philomathean has its room in the eastern corner of the same floor. The other rooms of the building are used as recitation rooms., 2 IQ' Finknev Hall , Q25 lLLl RM PTNKNEY so the story goes, was a great orator, lawyer and statesman He 1S one of the men whose names occupv the Maryland Hall ' of Fame at Charleston Exhibition. a He is an Alumnus of St. john's Col- lege. - The hall to the left of McDowell Hall facing College Avenue is named after this ilustrious man. It is called Pinkney Hall. Volumes can be written about this great man and great hall. No doubt, you are quite well acquainted with the history of both from seeing so often the stereotyped phrases concerning them. We will not weary you with a painful repetition. There is great prob- ability that what you are about to read will not be as polished as some pleasant things that you have read concerning this famous hall, but bear in mind that this is our first attempt at writing history, and that we have not been able to obtain any previous formula that is satisafctory to us by which we may compound the facts. Pinkney Hall is a four-storied building. It was erected in 1855. Since its erection many anecdotes have been told about it and the persons who have lived in it. We are going to try to tell you a few things about the individuals who are now passing the time within its walls. Formerly it had been the custom fo-r the Fresh- men to room on the fourth floor, the Sophomores on the third. The Seniors always took their pick of the rooms on first and second and left the others for the juniors. Now it-is entirely different. There are Seniors, juniors, Sophomores and a few Freshmen on the fourth floor. The third floor is mostly occupied by Fresh- men, but a few Upper Classmen have the best rooms on it. The second floor is strictly a place of abode for.Seniors and Juniors, while the first floor has a few from each class. To one who knows all that goes on within, the windows seem to nod and beck as if trying to remind him of some plot or trick that he and olthers have planned or are planning. Sometimes' they even take such an appearance that he unconsciously associates with them the names of the students who live in the rooms of which they are a part. ' ' A better way to become acquainted with the inmates of the hall is not by relating what the windows seem to say, but by taking a little tour from floor to floor and back again. You will not see all on your first trip and there will be many things that you don't want to see. On turning to the left you stand at the end of the hall on the Hrst Hoor. Of the many things which deserve our notice is the first room on the left. In it, live an 2I I . I I I I i I I I I I I I I K . I I f , I I I . I I I I I I I I I I , .

HTLE enumerating our halls we must not leave out Humphrey Prepara- tory Incubator and Cuban colony This stately looking edifice was built in 183 5, the College finding it necessary to have some place to store the many high-minded youths who had come to St. john's to bore, gouge, Hunk andito do many other noble things. For some years college students had the choice of rooms in :either Humphrey or Pinkney Hall, but now it is reserved especially for the Preps.-lucky for the Preps. Here they study, fight, break pitchers, and once in at while raise rough-house in general. Not being permitted to leave their rooms after dark, the latter is a very uncommon occurrence. The hall is in charge of Miss Bob Wliite, a very kind and charitable old maid, who says she will never marry. She lives on the top floor, and being of a kindly dispo- sition, never takes a switch to any of the boys under her charge, who at times annoy her greatly. p Until the erection of Woodward Hall, Humphrey contained the library and armory, but upon the erection of the new building they were moved into more spacious and inviting quarters. The rooms they formerly occupied uponthe first Hoor are now occupied by Professor Pusey. It is a great delight to him to sit and listen to the falling plaster when the Prepshave a clog dance and informal recep- tion on the Hoor above. ' But the old hall has more functions to perform than those already stated. In the basement are two dining halls, one for the college students and one for the Preps. There is also a kitchen. Here beef and dishwater-soup are served six days in the week and hash onthe seventh. Wlien some student thinks he has not had enough exercise during the day, he proceeds to take more by throwing bread at the Freshmen. As the exercise is very dangerous, serious wounds often being inflicted, it is very seldom indulged in. p The board is about sixteen dollars a month, but if you consume enough for ten you could never get your money's worth. V H Well, I guess we had better stop, as this is about enough to say of such a well- known building, and one so prominent in the minds of some of our readers who, perhaps, have put it on the bum many times and who have been in many a rough house there. a 25. V.. f-- X Woodward Hall -nn 1 ' l Aff! J- a, Henry William Woodward Hall J I-IIS is the newest building on the campus it being completed in 1900 Com- pai ed to the other venerable buildings it 1S the smallest infant In order Z L D . . ll , In I l that the structure might be in harmony with the others, it was built in the classic colonial style. It is constructed of brick, with marble trimmings. In the front 'and rear rise beautiful and majestic Corinthian columns. Passing under their graceful capitals, one finds himself in the reading room. I-Iere the colonial style is more marked. The woodwork is all of dark walnut. At one end is a large open fireplace, with an imposing mantle. The windows are deep set, and under eachis a cozy seat. The panes are of the small style so much used' in the past. V - Butait is of the contents that we wish toispeak rather than the container. On the stacks are some of the mostvaluable reference books in existence respecting the early history of our colony. These, with a great many others, which were brought from England and presented to the College, form a most interesting and valuable collection. The majority of these ancient volumes are bound in pig- skin, and, strange as it may seem, they are still in good condition. U But these old treasures areby no means all that claim our attention. The library is Well equipped with the newest and best works of reference and the best literature of the whole world. All the leading periodicals are taken, and afterwards preserved and bound. These, with the aid of Poole's index, form a most valuable and useful possession. y i ' V ' On this floor is also the biological laboratory, which is separated from the library by a hall. This laboratory is well equipped with microscopes and the other instruments necessary for scientihc research. Separate lockers and desks are provided for each student, so that he can vvork without interruption. Frequent excursions are made into the neighboring country to collect and study the various species that abound. The woodwork of this room is oak. - Ascending the graceful stairway in the rear of the hall one reaches the chemical and physical laboratories and lecture room. The laboratories are to the right. Here in a large and well-lighted room the student has the privilege of unraveling the mysteries of nature by the surest and best way-experiments. I-Ioods are arranged in the walls. Under these are conducted the experiments which produce disagreeable odors, and in this way the main laboratory is kept healthy and well ventilated. The interior woodwork is oak here also. This, with 27 the White Walls, makes a harmonious and at the same time durable decoration. The room is filled with the most improved individual desks ,and lockers. Each desk is fully supplied with gas jets and water faucets in addition to the requisite chemicals and apparatus. The walls are lined with glass-door cupboards, in which are stored the laboratory supplies and the more delicate apparatus. The St. john's laboratory is the repository of the standard Weights and measures of Maryland. These are a most interesting and almost priceless possession. ' Passing through a small ante-room one enters the lecture and recitation room. In this room is stored a most valuable collection of scientific apparatus of all kinds. The vvriter Will not go into a description of them, for, vvell, he has neither space to fill nor knowledge With which to fill it. The main body of the room is occupied by seats for the students. At one end is a long counter fitted with gas and Water, upon which illustrative experiments are conducted before the various classes. Behind this are the necessary blackboards. h We have novv taken you briefly through the baby of our venerable buildings. Any building to a stranger seems cold and lifeless 3 but for one who has toiled and conquered thereit acquires a personality. Therefore, We cannot even hope to introduce you to terms of intimacy with this hall, and our only expectation was to give you a brief outline of it.

V A r Id Chapel Our Old Chapel T JOHNS CHAPEL is unique in its construction, antique in its appear- ance, and famous in its history Eew halls now standing have the dis- tinction of being the scene of such a brilliant event as was the banquet I . I ' ' . held in this old chapel in honor of Marquis LaFayette. Few also have heard the grand tones of polished eloquence which fell from the lips of the' immortal Wasliington. But these are only a few of thecherished memories of our chapel. For two centuries the maiden speeches of many of Maryland's most famous orators have been delivered within its sacred walls. Every class since 1871 has left as a token of remembrance a class shield bearing the class mottoes and the names of the graduates. The mottoes which we think as fine a collection as can be found, are as follows : - 7 '72-Gerzabo et Vincam. '73-Quod homo fecit, homo liciat. '74-Esse quam videre. '75-Em aocpaav oz,uog opthog.

L ihiwavf AV - HE following are extracts from the speech of Mr. Philip Randall Voorhees, I l ,55,.de1ivered at the one hundredth anniversary of St. Iohn's College, in which he mentions a few of the alumni of the college: Ladies cmd Ge1ztle111e11,, B1'0the1's Alzmmi and Students of St. f01m's: Wlien the com- mittee, appointed to arrange a programme of commemorative ceremonies appropriate to the centenary of St. Iohn's College, requested me, through'President Fell, to prepare and deliver before you, as part of said programme for Alumni Day, a historical sketch of the College, I felt at first no ordinary embarrassment. Nevertheless, impelled by a sense of duty, I promptly accepted the honor conferred. But, though painfully conscious then of my lack of literary qualifications, as my mind dwelt more upon the subject and the occa- sion, and as I refreshed my recollections of St. J'ohn's antecedents by the perusal of the authorities at my command, my first embarrassment was increased tenfold. I can, there- fore only pray you to bear patiently the detention which I shall impose upon you by covering with the mantle of your charity myytemerity in appearing before you in any other capacity than that of a hearer and learner. VVere it not that the task assigned to me is to do but little more than chronicle in one paper, in as orderly sequence as I may, events which have been more or less reparatively or segregatively reviewed before you at different times. I could not have assentedlto stand here in the footsteps of those Alumni, and others distinguished in letters, who have in such numbers heretofore addressed audiences such as this, nor to break silence by any words of mine, while mindful of the stirring eloquence of those who have so often urged upon the people of the State, and their representatives in General Assem- bly, the merits ofthis venerable-institution of learning and its claims to their fostering care. 33 But it is eminently proper that a review of St. Iohn's history should be read before its sons and others in celebration of the One Hund- i i I more correctly speaking perhaps, its baptismal day, albeit such history is so well known by its alumni presento My onlv regret is, therefore, that someone more competent to do the full measure of iustice to the subject should not have been selected for the historic work of the day. b , . Bolingbroke says in his letters on the Study and Uses of History-attributing the remarks to Dionysius of Halicarnassus-that history is philosophy teaching by examples. If this be so, then, indeed, Brother Alumni, the history of our Alma Mater, from her earliest past, is part and parcel of a grand philosophy teaching all the virtues that.go to make the patriot, the statesman, and the man, and we may not too warmly nor too Jealously cherish the deeds and memories ofher distinguished sons, as well as the times quorum magna pars fueruntf' It is needless to remind this audience that the names of many of St.john's sons are enrolled not alone in the annals of the State, but in those of the nation as well. They have given their Alma Mater a historic place in the temple of fame as enduring as the temple itself. As an alumnus bearing the reverend name of Pinkney so felicitously said on commencement day in 1855, when coupling the name of Key with the College-- She has given the 'Star-Spangled Banner' to the nation, and made other offerings of which it is not necessary for me to speak. A college necrology has also, fortunately, been preserved which perpetuates, in the archives of the Alumni, the memory of the virtues of deceased brethren. This necrology, first suggested and its preparation personally begun by a .former principal, Dr. Humphreys, has been extended and continued-you need not be reminded how faith- fully-by the facile pen of Mr. John G. Proud, of the Class of '34, whose name, alas! now adorns that roll of the dead upon which his labors of love and painstaking research had stamped the seal of truth. May the Alumni ever cherish the memory of this brother, who by tongue and pen, both in forcible ,prose and graceful verse, has expressed so much devotion to St. John's and her sons. , It passed successfully through the perturbations of the Revolutionary War, and educated for the State and nation sons distinguished in the early history of the country. Among its pupils Williaiii Pinkney, whose fame, too broad to be appropriated by any one State, is an heritage unto the nation. In 1793, at its first commencement, St. John's conferred the degree of B. A. upon three graduates, Charles Alexander, John Addison Carr and ,VVil1iam Long, but the Alumni credited to this class number in all sixteen, of which number one became Governor of the State, one a Judge of the Court of Appeals, two Associate Judges of a judicial district, one the clerk of the Executive Council, one a Register of Wills, and one a Visitor and Governor of the College. The Historical Society of Anne Arundel County is authority for the following, to say the least, remarkable summary of the earlier work of St. Iohn's: From its hrst commencement, held in I7Q3, to that of 1806, a brief period of thirteen years, we ind among the names ofits graduates those ofno less than four Governors of Maryland, one Governor of Liberia, seven members of the Executive Council, three United States Senators, five members of the United States House of Representatives, four Judges o-f the Court of Appeals CGeneral Courtb, eight Judges of other courts, one Attorney- General of the United States, one United States District Attorney, one Auditor of the United States Treasury, six State Senators and fifteen members of the House of Delegates, besides foreign consuls, officers of the Navy and Army, physicians and surgeons, distin- guished lawyers Qincludng a Chancellor of South Carolinaj, college professors and others. redth Anniversary of its natal collegiate day, or, 34 Among this array of learning and worth it will not be invidious to mention the name of one of the Class of 1802, David Hoffman, LL. D., author, historian and jurist, a citizen of Maryland, eminent in his own and a neighboring State, as well as broad, and upon whom degrees were conferred by the Universities at Oxford and Gottingen. Dr. Hoffman was both a patron and a Visitor and Governor of St. John's. Of the pupils of St. John's in its early days, the 'fMaryland Collegian -of March, 1878, states: We find from an examination of the old matriculating register that between the years 1789 and ISOS it shows not only representatives of every county of Maryland and the city of Baltimo-re, but also from the States of Pennsylvania, Delaware, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Louisiana. -VVe' find there representatives from no less than nine counties of the State of Virginia, and the followng well-known Virginia names: Washington, Custis, Dulany, Alexander, Thompson, Clark, Herbert, Comax, Taylor, Benson, Gibbon, Lore, Blackburn, Burwell, Mercer, and others. Theisame authority finds the names of two students from England, one from France, three from the West Indies, one from Portugal, and, omitting as many quite as distinguished, the 'following Maryland names of Jennings, Dulany, Carroll, Stone, Pinkney, Lloyd, Chase, Ogle, Harrison, Thomas, Murray, Ridgley, Key, Dorsey, Snowden, Harwood, Sewart, Lee and Howard. The Custis above named among the Virginians refers to George Washington Parke Custis. the step- son and ward of Washington, who, it is said, took a great interest in St. John's, which he manifested by sending there his own ward as a pupil. The genial old gentleman, Mr. Custis, was at one time a member of the Class of 1799, and survived long enough to be personally known to several of my brother Alumni present. Memorable among the distinguished names of graduates during the peri-o-d above named, stands the names of Francis Scott Key, B. A., and John Shaw, B. A., M. D. It is said that Mr. Higginbottom took great pride' in exhibiting before visitors the accomplish- ments of these students and others, who with them formed the graduating class of 1796. From the next year, 1811, to 1830, inclusive, among the graduates and Alumni of St. John's appear names of men distinguished in the State and nation, and of these, in the order'of class years, the names of Reverdy Johnson, United States Senator, Attorney- General of the United States and Minister to England, Thomas Stockett Alexander, LL. D., John Johnson, Chancellor of the State, Hon. Alexander Randall, M. A., member of Congress and Attorney-General of Maryland, John Henry Alexander, LL. D., Right Rev. William Pinkney, LL. D., Episcopal Bishop of the Diocese of Maryland and the District of Columbia, the Hon. William H. Tuck, M. A., Judge of the Court of Appeals of Maryand, and Surgeon Vivian Pinkney, LL. D., medical director, United States Navy. The versatile genius of John Henry Alexander, distinguished in the church, in letters, science and the muses, who was graduated in 1827, when less than fifteen years of age, has illumined both Europe and America. The mere mention of these names shows that St. John's can boast of more jewels than did Cornelia. The Gracchi were but a single pair, but their Alma Mater, in the persons of the two brothers Johnson, the brothers Alexander and the brothers Pinkney, has given the State a diadem of brilliants as a crown forever. The name of another alumnus must be added to this period and linked with that of one of the Class of 1799. I allude to Judges Nicholas Brewer and Thomas Beale Dorsey, citizens respectively of Annapolis and of the county. Judges Dorsey and Brewer were so long associated on the bench, their faces, for years, were so familiar to the citizens of this judicial circuit, that their names are indissol- ubly associated together by its bar and citizens. These gentlemen belong among the brightest 35 of the array of jurists of the country. They adorned the bench of their own State, compeers of Marshall, Taney, B. R. Curtis and Storey. Judge Dorsey died in 1855, and Judge Brewer, like him, was gathered to the sleep of the valiantand just in 1864. The triumvirate of M1aryland's judiciary among the older alumni of St. Iohn's would be incomplete without here adding the name of that learned, wise and good man, Judge Alexander Contee Magruder, an alumnus of 1794, a member of the Executiev Council, State Senator and Judge, and official reporter of the Court of Appeals. ' Since the closing of the hiatus in the work of the College, 1866, the sons which St. Iohn's has given to the world have well fulhlled their missions. The Church, the Law and Medicine, and various other departments of human effort and industry have been enriched by their presence and energies. The survivors are yet young enough to reach the summit of their several vocations or ambitions. One of the Class of '72 already adorns the Supreme Bench of Baltimore City, Henry David Harlan, and another of the Class of ,73 is an eloquent divine, who, as the orator of the day by request of the Alumni, will address you, and upon whose time I fear I have already too long intruded. Another son, Commander Dennis Mullan, of th Navy, bearing at the time St. John's honorary degree M. A., was on duty with his brother heroes in the recent Samoan hurricane, and, of her dead, Lieut. James Lockwood, of the Army, died after extending the boundary of know land twenty-eight miles nearer the pole, reaching the most northerly point on land that ever has been attained by man. Jaap Dr. Winfield Scott Schley, B. A., M. A., M. D., ' 93 Dr. Winfield Scott Schley, Ir., son of the Maryland hero of the battle off Santiago, was born at the United States Naval Academy, Annapolis, Md., on August 1, 1873. The early part of his life was a transitory one, having made Boston, Vlfashington, and then Philadelphia hisihome. At each of these cities he attended public and private schools, and in Philadelphia he attended a military boarding school. In Qctober, 1889, he entered St. Iohn's Co-llege where his illustrious father was destined to have attended, but was prevented by his insatiable desire for a career in the navy. While at college Dr, Schlev was actively connected with all the athletic, social and literary functions of the school and in his senior year was president of the Philokalian Society. He graduated 11? gi11e,.I.893, with the degree of B. A. In October, 1893, he entered the College p iysliciaqns and Surgeons, New York, QColumbia University, Medical Dept.j, Sion?-JLTLQE 155288 he graduated In June: 1396- Nearly a year later he entered - pltal, where he served two and a half years on the house staff 'l l - - . , , 1 HHH lu Y: 1399- Then, f0H0W111g UP hls profession as a physician, he became con- nected with Sloane Hospital, being on the staff. But in November, ISQQ, he 36 entered the practice of medicine, at which he prospered for one year. In january, 1900, he yvas appointed assistant surgeon at St. Luke's Hospital, outdoor depart- ment. Rising higher and higher in his noble calling, he Was, in Qctober, 1900, appointed assistant attending surgeon of Trinity Hospital, New York City. JJ The Rt. Rev. Cleland K. Nelson, B. A., D. D., '72 Bishop Nelson, the great-grandson of General Thomas Nelson, ex-Governor of Virginia, was born near Cobham, Albemarle County, Virginia, May 23, 1852. Having graduated at St. John's College in 1872, he received theological instruc- tion partly from his uncle, the Rev. C. K. Nelson, D. D., and partly from the Berkeley Divinity School, at Middletown, Conn. He was ordained to the deaconate in 1875, by Bishop Pinkney, of Maryland, and to the priesthood in 1876 by Bishop Stevens, of Pennsylvania. From this time until 1891 he was rector in several of the churches in Pennsylvania. On November 12, 1891, he Was elected Bishop of Georgia, and on February 27, 1892, he was consecrated in St. Luke's Cathedral, Atlanta. Bishop Nelson's entry upon the episcopate has been marked by great spiritual blessings upon the diocese of Georgia. 9 J Q29 William Ritchie, B. A., ' 73. ' I William Ritchie, born at Frederick, Maryland. His late home place is almost next door to that of old Barbara Fritchie, and near by-resided Admiral Winfield Scott Schley. Mr. Ritchie's father, Dr. Albert Ritchie, was exec- utor of Mr. Fritchie's estate. Mr. Ritchie graduated from St. John's in the class of 1873, studied law in the office of his elder brother, the late Hon. John Ritchie, Judge of the Court of Appeals. Later on he removed to Chicago, succeed- ing the Hon. John IS. Wirt, now oi Elkton, Maryland, as a member oi the law iirm of Judd 81 VVhitehouse, of-Chicago. On the death of the senior member of the firm, Mr. Ritchie succeededto that position, his firm being now Ritchie, Esher 81 Knobel. Mr. Ritchie took a very prominent part at the bar in Chicago, A 37 having tried a number of important cases in the Supreme Court of the United States, During the agitation of the present few years at Chicago over the subject of municipal taxation and the granting of street railway franchises, Mr. Ritchie took a very active part and was a prominent member of the Anti-Yerkes forces, which in the State Legislature defeated Mr. Yerkes' corrupt measures. A high compliment was paid to Mr. Ritchieis standing as an authority upon these questions by the Legislature, which after hearing a discussion by him before its special committee, requested his attendance later before a joint session of the House and Senate, which was called for the sole purpose of hearing Mr. Ritchie discuss these various issues again. At a subsequent session of the Legislature, when similar measures were brought before that body by the corporate interests. the committee summoned Mr. Ritchie again by special invitation to hear his criticisms of the pending measures. In deference to his judgment upon that occasion, the Legislature rejected the propositions of the interested parties and the interests of the public were thereby safeguarded. In consequence of his course in these matters Mr. Ritchie was urged to enter political life, and Was, in fact, nominated for the Legislature at the succeeding session as a candidate on the reform ticket, but his disinclination for political life and pressure of his private business prompted him to decline the honor. Mr. Ritchie when at St. Iohn's was a member of the Philokalian Society, and his interest in his Alma,lVIater is as lively novv as the day he received his diploma. J Q55 De Witt C. Lyles, B. S., '98. Graduated from St.ljohn's in 1898 with a first-grade distinction, with the degree of S. Immediately after his graduation he enlisted in the Fifth Regi- ment of Maryland Volunteers, where he savvl six monhs of Spanish-American War service.

The Editors of the Rat Tat, and the Class of IQO3, beg to offer their congratu- lations to the Endowment Committee, and to express their great pleasure in the re- sult thus far obtained, and their interest and hope for the future. . To those not conversant with the work of this Committee, they would explain that within the past year an amount sufficient to extinguish the mortgage debt, so long resting upon the College, has been collected, and also the beginning of a per- manent Endowment Fund with which to provide for the maintenance of the College. The Alumni have shown their love for their Alma Mater, both in working for the object and in the subscriptions they have made. It is hoped that by this season, of another year we may be able to record at least an equal sum as has already been given-a further step toward the one hundred thousand with which it is hoped to develop the present good work of the College.

But no! they were only trying to dance, and success seems to have crowned their efforts, for to see Peth and HLinticum in the strains of Auf XIVICCICTSQIIQH would moisten the eyes of any crocodile. Mind you, most of these facts came to light in under class days, and it is only with bated breath that I introduce you to our final struggle to carry the sheepskin through the goal. . If I marked Senior year, girls, I would save much ink and valuable time, and be truthful also, but out of justice and likewise a deep admiration, I must tell you of one or two who have not .Hmonkeyed with the band-wagon. Scrubby Lamotte, Colonel Despard and Lou Seth are the immortal three, and in our degeneration they have been standing firm around the Senior banner and trying to rally the class. May we soon retract our wayward course, and instead of creeping in after IO.3O, may be tucked safely in our little beds when the 0. D. takes up inspection. P t When we returned last September the fellows said it took several days to shake off some kind of a feeling concerning moonlight nights. Iasked Lamo-tte about it and he said it must be sleepiness, and I wondered what a fool I was not to have thought of that before. Ahalt joined our class about this time, and, much to our surprise, put up with Billy Ward and Scrubby. This formed rather an unholy combination, which has brought Scrubby', into much prominence these last few months. Christmas holidays went by all too soon, and again I sought our sage Lamotte as to what manner of devil affected our classmates. VV e consumed much tobacco, electricity and valuable time on the subject, and at last, in an unguarded moment, my colleague said he guessed they must be in love. Thus went the year with its mixture of joys and sorrows and hopes and misgivings. And now we are thinking of june dances, and exams., and girls from down home, and where will all our money come from. But in the midst of all these confusing thoughts there remains one that has ever been clear to our minds, one in which doubt has no resting place, and that one will be fulfilled when on the night of the Alumni banquet we will all rise and drain our cups in one last, long, lingering drink to the class of Nineteen-two.

History of ,Junior Class I I .af I LASSES are said to have histories, and when a fellowreflects upon his class history so many memories of past accomplishments flood in upon his confused thoughts that he feels inclined to trust to memory for the enjoyment of his' class history and its merits. I-Ie selfishly says : I know we have a history, and a glorious history at that, a history that is fraught with happy incidents, a history that is filled with pleasing accomplishments, a history formed by the labors and the follies ,of some of the men whom I have found to be my dearest friends. But why should I writethis history? Is it not engraved upon the heart of every man in my class? Wliat change of life, what vicissitude of the future can ever efface the memory of my college days ? But this sentiment is a mistaken one. When a body of men gather in a college like this for the purpose of training their young lives and minds for the slings and ,arrows of outrageous fortune, they form a sort of fraternity, and during a four years' course they do many things worthy of publication for reference in the years to come. i I I I f All parts of Maryland have contributed men for the formation of the present junior class. From the rocky passes of Washington county down through the fertile and beauteous valleys of Central Maryland, on to the indescribable et invis- ible beauties of the crab districts of the Eastern Shore, have these high-minded youths assembled together in harmony under the guardian swayyof this College of the Patriots. At our first meeting we were all most assuredly green, but as time wore on, the rough edge wore off, and at the close of the first year we began to realize how little we knew. I p - ' U ' I ' How well I remember this band of hayseeds smuggled from the high seas about Salisbury, Boonsboro, Rosaryville, Easton, North East, Darlington, Alpha, and other points not on the map. Some smelled of clover, some of tar, some of oyster shells, some of mountain laurel 3 and one smelled of cheap cologne, profusely applied. At the close of the freshman year we all smelled of the mid- night oil. But now we have become used to college, and are averse to studying atall. ' A ' ' g ' I Lest we stray, permit mentor revert to the, days ,when we-were young in the ways of college life. As I had the honorofrelating in last year's Rats Tat 'we were unusually noisy. Une night we 'carried -things our own way on the fourth H . , , 7 ' ' OOT, and before morning the upper classmen carried things their way-and we couldn't sit down for two weeksj I was afraid 'to 'say anything about this last year, 62 ' knowing that there was much' danger of lowering our dignity as the leaders of the G. Q. H. Besides, Sophomores like to keep such things a secret. We never had a classmeeting that didn't end in a fight. At that time everything we did as ia body turned out to be a f1zzle. COur class colors, for instancej But, now we always say that this was on account of the poor example set by the class above us. - It is ,amusing to think over the first impressions of our classmates. I well remember little Amos Woodcock in his knee breeches when for the first time he crawled up to Tommy's desk. . If ever therewas a sad picture of homesicknessand insignificance he impersonated it. Little did we think that in him lay the qualities of mind and character that have made him such an honorto our class. His Fresh- man roommate, Bip Tilghman, 'was also a child in years, a baby in size and an infant in manners. Many a night have I been compelled to put to sleep these two children with the soft, sweet strains of my trained voice. Next Slew-foot Beatty came, dragging his big feet up the College walk. Wlieii he had safely housed his ponderous and momentous steppers he immediately began to bone lessons, hidling captiously behind his matchless groundworks, so that we saw him only at the table. By the way, he was punctual at meals. I can still see how the plastered locks of hair, so' inappropriately concealed from view that recognized mark of intelligence, which Si Cummins has possessed from birth-his high forehead. He was the only Freshman who spent his time, his money and his artistictaste upon- the walls of his room, and then wrote long letters about it to every female he knew. He has nourished these traits of character, and in this particular he is still the whole thing in a nutshellf' Then there was theonce awkward and clumsy John Blecker, who surely struck our fancy as being a very handsome youth. But time works many changes. This odd person has lived throughout his whole course upon theluxury of his imagined ambition, but through his bad taste for study he has come to misfortune in more than one exam. ' Despite susbequent failures and mistakes, how pleasant it is to talk of these days of our irst meeting! How fanciful and incomplete these records are! But how much more forcible than the treacherous chronicles of the memory! Doesn't it pay to write a history? Are not these boyish foibles, which in after years will have a charm for us? Then let us continue further in our dream of the past. I None of us are any longer certain as to whether '2Neewy Reed was regarded asa Brownie or a Pigmy, but time has developed that he is the Missing Link. There was Pat Wood, born and raised on Market street, Annapolis, and though he had been in the Prep. school for seventeen years, he was a new acquaintance to the majority of our class. He impressed us' as -Annapolitans only can. And there was another little tot from this ancient city. Tom ,Handy was his name. 63 Tom being a very polite little man, always used to conduct. his cousin, another Annapolis boy, called Dug Howard, up to the Halls of Learning. Dug and Tom never felt so happy as when they could bring up a large box of home-made cara- mels for their friends. They usually had more friends than caramels. Dug and Tom were general traders of good sense,' and both had a pull with the fair ones of the City of Anne. It seems to be a painful duty to interrupt these awakened memories by recording that very recently our good friend Dug has left us to prepare for the entrance examinations to the Naval Academy. .We have lost a bright scholar., a fine athlete and at general good fellow. VV'e voice the sentiment of the whole school in wishing for him a happy and useful career in Uncle Sam's Navy. Leaflets of 'Freshman history again unroll themselves and the finger of merit is pointing to a name which has come to be honored amongst tis-Wilson Gal- breath. I remember how one day we wasted two hours and ten cents worthj of firecrackers in trying to awaken him from one of his regular naps. He is always napping. And although he never has allowed the Profs. to catch him, he did get caught once by the police of Annapolis. Garey, the man who has been sweet sixteen? for ten years, was looked upon as the one Freshman who was sure of social success. Upon his handsome face were evident marks of future greatness, and a convenient age. We'were all becoming well acquainted and fairly well satisfied with ourselves, when in- the second term we were startled by the sudden appearance of Patrick Dougherty, a native of Paris, who sprung up in our midst like a meadow mushroom on a spring night. Dots was immediately applied to his name, but at his request we changed it to the uncommon Irish title, Pat He was soon followed by another specimen of Baltimoreis greasers, Mr. Fritzy Seward, who came sliding through space on one of Heinz's pickles. This finished our Pandora Box for the first year, Gott- siedanktf' ' -In the course of nature and luck, in spite of mathematics, we became Sophomores. Knobs of importance fast developed upon our heads, for proud were the first few weeks of our novel position as leaders of that Awful', Organization, known to Freshmen as the G. G. H. They say pride goeth before a fall, and in seeming realization of this fact the Freshmen behaved themselves so well that we had to suspend hostilities indefinitely. VVe soon hadffo Substitute Civiliiitv for enmityg gradually this civility grew into a strong liking, and today the classes of '04 and '03 are closely joined in the ties of lasting friendship. But like all other Sophomore classes, we did not have all our Freshmen classmates with us to share our new responsibilities and experiences. Weiliave missed them greatly, At the opening of our Sophomore year, however, several sons of Maryland resolved to 64 cast their lots with the class of 1903. These were two high-heeled Harford county lads, 4'Cholly Hollingsworth and Tom Hall 5 two Carroll county aristocrats, Rily Elgen and Miss Cranky Cronkg one general nuisance from Rohrersville by the name of jim Rohrer, and still anoflfrea' escaped Howard Countain, who call- ed himself Paleface Clark. A ' With such reinforcements we began to feel strong as well as proud. Then, ah then, it was that we started upon our course of record-breaking, brain-bursting, and heart-smashing 3 then it was that we began to enjoy our studies, and to long for our meals, and our drill period. Then it was that we began to dream of our Rat Tat. We started right in for all athletics and developed. 'men who have distinguished themselves upon the field. . There comes a swelling of pride when we relate that in the inter-class contests last May we won second place, the juniors being Hrst. Hall brought us a peculiar distinction by breaking the College record in the half-mile run. A. Garey covered himself with glory as a swift and graceful runner. ' Beatty and Rohrer added several points to our credit by gaining second place in two events. . Coming now to the Military Department, we would sayvthat we had always taken a particular pride in this business, and, next to studying, it was our favorite duty. But owing to the large numbers and large ambitions of the Junior class, we could not secure many promotions in' rank. However, the Ice-Wagonf' Blecker was made a corporal. , I i After nine weeks of heated discussion we adopted a class-pin, but it is not satisfactory to one member of the class. QOne more of our class iizzles. j In June, when the standing of the classes was announced, nine certificates -of honor and distinction were awarded to the men of 1903, showing that we were making good use of our time. - But our history must not be all sunshine, there are shadows on the brightest days. During our Sophomore year we lost several good men not before men- tioned in this history. Some left college, some 'gfell by the wayside and are now wading through the quagmire of lost hope. We are sorry to lose these, our fellow- strugglers. ' , , With the glorious advent of our Junior year, we came to find that all juniors inherit the right to three privileges : CID An overdrawn ambition, Czj a penetrating opinion of the Seniors, and Qgj a swelled head. , We have made good use of the second, but were not much surprised when Miss Fortune refused us our share of the first and third privileges. For we had expectedthat last year's Juniors had already abused them 'beyond further avail. We warn future juniors against too much ambition, and too much swelled head. However, we have a good supply 65 N of that penetrating opinion about the Seniors, and. we keep it as recompense for the complete loss of the other two advantages. . To return to our history, we are unable to say that we have contributed as many men for the football team as the Seniors. But there was the quality 1n our men that made up for the quantity in other classes. The giant Beatty played very fine ball at left half back. Garey has made a splendid record at right half back, and has been chosen to lead St. John's promising team to unheard-of victories next fall. For three seasons Blecker has been a faithful center, while Dug How- ard at right end, carried men and things his way.. Jim Rohrer was one of the best subs. Cholly Hollingsworth also did good work on the second team. V History is dry reading if there isnlt something funny to relate occasionally, so here goes. This class elected a Rat Tat Board. This Rat Tat Board had weekly meetings--twice a month. All the valuable time of this wooden board was occupied in holding meetings. Our minute book is twice the size of our Rat Tat, and is twice as funny. We are going to have copies made to give every man in the class. They will prolong life, and save future circus expenses. Our history is brightened very much by the brilliant success with which our men have met in the social functions of the college. From a class of twenty, fifteen go to the hops, the greatest per cent. of any class here. Consequently, the memories of college days will not be confined to the life we have spent in each other's company, but will often flock to the happy hours spent in the company of some sweet Annapolis girl. We are proud of our record, and we believe that it is the benign inliuence of culture which St. john's exerts upon her students that has worn off the rough edges of our manners, and polished the beautiful traits of character that were covered only by a thin coat of inexperience. Our history is nearly finished, and lengthy as it is, we cannot forbear the temptation to record some personal pecu- liarities which, for the possessors, perhaps, cast slight shadows of their future meaning upon the screen of our imagination. Whether sportive or natural with them, we must comment that the tedious sarcasmof the VVoodchuck, Bip, Blecker and Pat, which from time to time has borne us all down to pitiless nothingness, can be. measured only by the barrel. As for order, in the barracks, we feel sure that Jim Rough-house, Rily Elgen, Tom Reed and Tom Hall would rather get fired than keep quiet. Just as with Rustic Beatty, jim Clark and Garey, who delight in lathering the faces of unfortunate friends Whom they happen to find sleeping. We hope these tonsorial traits do not bespeak for them a future career. Far better would it be for them to follow the example of Fritzy and his ponies, and make arrangements with the circus manager for a lifejob. , pace prevents further indulgence in such tr1v1al1t1es. 66 We believe it fittingato congratulate our 'og Philomathean members upon the excellent showing that they made at the public debate held here in March, and feel that to the class is due laudatory mention of the active part they have always taken in the literary, musical, social, athletic and intellectual interests of St. Iohn's. Our experience as Juniors has disposed us to believe the philosopher who said that all the pleasures of life consist in either anticipation or recollection. The studies required here in the junior year make it the terrible presentf, and there is no pleasure except in the memories of the past and in the hoped-for honors of the future. It is with many forebodings of possible ill-success that this class will assume the dignity of Seniors. But let us hope that our bud of kindly feeling towards those under us may be nurtured, and finally developed into a beautiful Hower whose fragrance will be the love and justice to all who may come under our authority. Coming to the close of this editorial-history something seems to tell us that we cannotpass without thanking the whole student body for their support in the publication of this Rat Tat, the greatest of our class undertakings. Let us all look forward to the coming glories of our lives, and go on our way rejoicing, resolving to leave to the fates the silent work of fixing our destinies, and ever ,-remembering, ever loving our old Alma Mater. May we all 'flive long and prosper. WALTON HOOD GRANT. To the memory of the Lumnibuses who have strayed like lost I sheep from the pathof '03, we dedicate this space. .95 .29 .99 .99 Lawrence W..

Crisfield, Md 75 History of Sophomore Class aw T HE 18th of September, 1900, is one of the most memorable dates in the - annals of St. John's College. On that day there came here a band of youths such as had never been here before. Qur historian of last year has told the history of the beginning of this noble class, and it has been given to me to continue the great work begun by my most worthy predecessor. Of course, the first thing to do was to organize ourselves into a body. A meeting was called and we elected the following class oflicers: John F. Mudd, president 5 J. Wirt'Wilmer, vice-president, and P. C. jones, secretary and treasurer. The part we took in football, and how we studied during the winter and boned for our exams., has already been told. I Before the close of college we had attained such a degree of superiority both in the classroom and on the athletic field that President Fell pronounced us to be the best all-round Freshmen class that had been here during his presidency. We certainly have proved this to be true. In our field meet with the upper classes we came out in the fourth place, yet in our other games, as in' baseball, we came out with flying colors. In our field meet, notwithstanding that fourth place is the lowest place, we 'scored 25M out of the I46 points possible, against 2 points made by the Freshman class of the year before. Cooper did good work putting the shot, and would, undoubtedly, have taken flrst place had it not been for his sprained wrist. All three places in pole vaulting were taken by Halbert, Mudd and Revell. Tarbert won the quarter-mile run and Halbert, Cronin, Burwell and Scarborough easily won the mile relay. The relay team that was sent to Philadelphia included two of our members-Halbert and Cronin. The inter-class baseball games now engaged our attention, and we practiced very hard every day before the games. There was slightsdoubt as to the out- come of these games, but, of course, we expected to win them. The junior class f'o2j', called the Banner Class, only by themselves, however, supposing themselves to be superior in every respect to all the other classes, thought, or at least said, that they would have a cinch with us. But, alas! Poor Juniors! Beaten by a team of measly, contemptible, insignificant Freshmen. We defeated them by the score of I4 to 2. In our other games we were equally successful. The Seniors forfeited to the Sophomores, and we defeated Sophomores by a score of 6 to I, only one man reaching third base. We also defeated the Preps. by a score of IO to 4. Much credit is due to our pitcher, and also to the men who backed him, for these brilliant victories. The teamwas made up as follows: 76 ' --r-an-ir?--73 . Mudd, catcher 3 Stick, pitcher g Wilmer, Ist base, Halbert, 2nd base 3 Cooper, 3rd basezg jones, short stop, Cf. Wilson, right field, Scarborough, center field, and Murphy, left held. Tarbert and Burwell wer substitutes. Powell and Burwell represented the college in the tennis meet in Baltimore with johns Hopkins Univer- sity and Western Maryland College. , The time for our June exams. was now fastf approaching, and we saw the necessity of doing some hard work. Consequently we set to work, and after using much midnight electricity and impressing on our minds many of those irregular French verbs and the theories of mathematics, we passed through our exams. verysuccessfully. Therefore, everyone will now admit that the class of 1904 should rightfully be called The Banner Class of St. Iohn's. At one of our class meetings it was decided to have ai banquet in commemoration of our athletic victories. Accordingly, the money was appropriated out of the class treasury, and we had the banquet. Addresses were made by many members on the different things in which our class was interested. The speech by our Presi- dent, Mudd, on. The Class of IQO4,H was very interesting to us, and when he talked of the Hrst accomplishments and the future prospects of the class, the greatest enthusiasm manifested itself among the members of the class. Thus ended our first year, during which we established such a reputation as very few other Freshmen classes has ever yet had. After enjoying our long summer vacation, we returned to St. johns, resolved to begin hard, earnest work again. In a few days after the opening of the college a class meeting was called for the election of new class officers. The following men were elected: I. Wirt Wilmer, president, G. WV1lson, viee-presi- dent, H. Padgett, secretary, and P. C. Jones, treasurer. Three new men, Beachley, Collins and E. Padgett, joined our class at the opening of the session, and have proved themselves to be good men. As athletics form one of the most interesting parts of college life, we were not long in answering to the call for football players. Halbert and Cooper, two regulars, played a fine game during the whole season. Cooper is to be praised for his great work at left tackle. Mudd, Burwell and Scarborough were sub- stitutes. As soon as the football season was over, we settled down to hard studying. According to the exam. marks of all the classes, our class passed the most creditably of any class in college. I do not mean to say that no one in our class Hunked, for that would hardly be true. I cannot do justice to the class by simply stating a few facts concerning it as a whole. Therefore, I will attempt to give the characteristics of some of our worthy classmen. One of the most prominent members is Ben. Hoogan. He 77 is prominent on account of his height, which is about 8 ft. 6 in. When.he puts on his little No. 62 straw hat you can recognize him wherever you see him, but you must not laugh, although he does look very comical. Then there is H. Padgett, who is, without a doubt, the best musician in the class. He spends the most of his time dreaming and talking of springtime and of playing his guitar and singing in the evenings on the campus. If you hear anyone in the hall say, Won't it be line when spring comes, so that we can sit out on the campus, You must learn all the popular songs and we will sing them when we can sit out on the campus, and similar expressions, you may be sure that it is Padgett. lf you want to learn anything about the fair sex of Annapolis go to Rat Jones. He spends the most of his time with them and knows much about them. Then another thing he is noted for is the art of pretending sickness when he has a difficult recitation. Collins has been voted upon as being the greatest eater in the class. He well deserves the honor. He is an excellent writer and an authority on eating. His most famous books are, Wliat to Fat, Physical Trainingu and a pamphlet on N ever Be Afraid of Eating Too Much. He is better known as Toothpick or VVilkie. Providence has been kind to us in giving us one of the wonders of the world. This is a Human jumping-Jacki' by the name of Magruder. His manner of walking is likely to impress one that he has springs in his heels. We often quake with fear that sometimes those springs will raise him beyond the limits of gravitation. Then our number would be one less. The baseball season has now opened, and we expect to be well represented on the team. Some of our men for whom there is a good opening are Wilmer, Halbert, and Stick, Collins, Mudd, and Jones. They are all good players and will make the other candidates hustle. Qur class team expects to administer another bitter defeat to the Seniors. In field and track sports we will hold up our end, as we will undoudtedly have three men on the relay team-Cronin, Hal- bert and Tarbert. t Now, with a few words regarding our relation with the Freshmen, this history will be closed. Since hazing was abolished here several years ago, it was not the desire of our class to revive it. Yet, we all believe that when a young fellow first leaves the restraint of parental influence, he is apt to regard himself as being the only one. Hence, in order to banish all such ideas from the brilliant C?j minds of the Freshmen we deemed it necessary to resort to something that would furnish us a littleiamusement, and at the same time teacli them the lesson intended. I think everyone, with possibly the exception of the Freshmen, enjoyed the concerts given by them. As it is the custom, we had to electla new vice- president for the Pinkney Hall Glee Club, and to do this we had to test the voices of the Freshmen. The singing was very much like that heard at a grand opera C Pj. 78 Mr. Bird was finally elected to the office of Vice-president. As he did not feel competent to expresshis thanks in a speech, he was asked to give us another song, and he readily complied. There was no end to the fun in watching some of the poor fellows rooting pennies out of bowls of water. Cf course the usual reading of rules and posting up of bills on which the rules were printed was soon done by us. After these few proceedings the Freshmen were allowed to rest in peace. I sincerely hope that I have exactly portrayed the virtues of this grand old class, and that it may yet rise higher in its power and bring more -glory and honor both to itself and to old Stg Iohn's.

History of the Class of 1905 sw Q HAVE often wondered how Sir Walter Raleigh felt when he undertook to write a history of the world. I am quite sure he could not have been so burdened with the weight of his responsibility as I am. Woe to me if perchance I should fail to do justice to these august worthiesg and yet how hard it is to soar so high! These brilliant stars of 1905, developing their talents, will be the men of their day. Some of us came from high schools, some from private schools and some, perhaps, from the tender hands of a governess, finally to unite here in one interest and one effort. We have not always been banded together, all striving for the same goal-4our degree, but we are of various ages and diverse natures, with different equipments and separate aims, but by the powerful force of attraction, we have all been drawn to the magnetic center, St. Iohn's College. We are twenty-six in number. Some of us were Preps. last year, but the majority of us came for the first time to old St. Iohn's in September, 1901. Those of us who came from the Prep. school were: J. M. Green, E. P. DuVal, Joseph R. Pennell, Bernard Carter, A. B. Cecil, G. F. Smith, 'Merrit G. Rasin, Armine W. Smith, Edgar A. Vey, M. Keith Neville, john A. Tarbert, I. Vincent Jamison, Harry P. Graham, Duncan C. Walton, Ralph C. Bowen. Those who came in September are: Gore, Brogden, Merryman, Fox, Lilly, Ruland, Hopkins, Valk, Bird, Willing. These have all proved to be of great importance in the make-up of our great class. Some are noted for great business abilities, such as can be found in very few boys of theirage 3 some for their great wit and humor, and quite a number are noted for qualities which, perhaps, had better not be men- tioned. On the Thursday following our arrival at Qld St. Iohn's, our attention was drawn to the following notice, adorned with skull and cross bones, and posted in conspicuous places about the hall: All Freshmen must report in room 35 tonight at 8 o'clock sharpf' by order of the G. O. H. None of us knew what was meant by G..O. OH., but from the emblem above the notice, we thought it must be some organization worthy of great respect. Eight o'clock found us in the room specified, and there for the first time we became acquainted with oiiicers of the NG. O. H., and for two hours or morewe had the pleasure of displaying our musical talents while standing on a three-legged table. Nor was music the only kind of amuse- ment on thistgreat occasion, for there was dancing, and speechmaking, made more emPh3t1C by p Sir after each word, and a great deal of making love to one's self in 86 ,x I, l 1 f 5. li: E 1. f .

After this meeting everything went alongiquietlyp for several days, but the Sophs. thought that they should train us up in the way weushould go, so about a week after .the Glee Club entertainment each Freshmen was aroused f1'O1T1'h1S peaceful slumber by a gentle shake, and opening his eyes, saw a large crowd of white-robed figures in the room Before he was well awake, he was ordered to get out of bed and stand atattention with his face to the wall Cf course, he obeyed Then the rules by which he was to be governed during the year were read to him These rules were signed by the same honorable society that had afforded us the pleasure of the Glee Club entertainment After the rules had been carefully read, the crowd marched slowly o-ut, and we were permltted to resume our peaceful slumber for the remainder of the night But we were so sleepy when the rules were be1ng read that it 1S doubtful 1f we would have remembered them had the Sophs not k1ndly refreshed our memo- r1es by posting a copy of these rules on each Freshman's door. The Freshmen read and tr1ed to abide by these rules, and consequently we had no more visits from the G O H ' At the beginning of the second term we gained a new member, William Askey He 1S a man of great ability, especially in athletics He was in the special course during the first term-, but finally decrded to take some other course, and came into our class-the best one that he could have selected f- a In athletics we have not had a very good chance to display our ab1l1t1es for most of our members are very l1ght and lt was an 1mposs1b1l1ty for us to make a very great showing in football but nevertheless we had two men on the first team and several regular players on the second or scrub team Wlien we come to baseball we hope to make a better show1ng Although we may not have many men on the first team we expect to make 1t quite interesting for the other classes when we meet them on the diamond to play the class games Last year when we were Preps we beat the juniors and 1n the game with the Sophs when they got one run ahead of us they refused to play any longer In the game w1th the Freshmen our p1tcher was struck by the ball and was greatly handicapped 1n h1s playing but we were not beaten by a very large score This year we have prospects for a better team even than the one of last year Most of the members of our class being very studious applied themselves well during the first term but when the February examinations were drawing near there were very few who d1d not burn their midnight oil But 1n spite of all efforts there were quite a number of us who failed Un hearing the retnrns of the examlnations many made resolut1ons to study harder dur1ng the second term than they had done the first but no one knows how long these resolut1ons will last wwf,-Q v These are true accounts of some of the many events which have happened in the short career of this noble class. In time of trouble each member has proved to be true to his class, and by so doing, the class has attained its present high standard. And when we return next year, We will have gained the title of Sophomores. We hope that next year We may all return with the determination to raise the standard of Nineteen Hundred and Five still higher and achieve more honor and glory for old St. Iohn's. ' RALPH C.

Ninian Pinkney, a near relative V of Williain Pinkney, delivered, before a joint celebration of the Philo- kalian and Philomathean Literary. Societies, an address which is so highly expressive of the feeling which all good St. Johnis men have, and which is so strangely appropriate at this particular time that we feel we could do the students, the alumni, and the people of Maryland no better service than to publish it in our Rat Tat. YOUNG GENTLEMEN: Societies like those you have formed in the heart of a great Col- lege, which you ought to make immortal in the ages ahead, are very closely allied to that love of harmony which constitutes the charms of the names you bear. It is no exaggera- tion to say that too high an estimate cannot be formed of the value of such literary associa- tions when they occupy their proper orbit, and are properly worked in that orbit. They stimulate inquiry, arouse the faculties, call forth an energy of effort that would otherwise never be put in action, and awaken an intense anxiety to extend the area of knowledge and secure exactitude in the investigations made. , , There is stimulus in the classroom. ' In it there is a natural and irrepressible desire to excel. Every true young man who is lit to walk in academic groves and inhale the per- fume which for centuries has lingered around those quiet retreats, feels his pulses quicken as he looks out on the goal where the first honor of his Alma Mater awaits the successful competitor, and he labors to secure it. Not to share the stimulus of the classroom, to be unmoved by the thrilling associations that cluster around it, and pass through the curriculum of study without the kindlings of enthusiasm, is to demonstrate the fact that privileges are often wasted on the worthless which others less fortunate would most gladly enjoy and zeal- ously improve. But another sort of stimulus is needed- It is 'outside of the curriculum of study. It is voluntary, and on that account it is the more forceful. Literary societies sup- ply this stimulus. Books of instruction are needful. Live teachers, who are thoroughly imbued with the subject matter that is to pass under their review, are not less needful- The aptness to receive the instruction imparted, the docility of mind and the attentive ear are not less vitally important. But beyond this CI will not say above itl, there is the neces- sity for self-culture, which is not a provision. of the schools, but a voluntary organization which has its origin in the will of the students, and is dependent for its efficient outworkng on the unprompted energy they bring to the enterprise. Two such organizations you have. There is wisdom in the two-fold embodiment of the idea, for they act upon and are reacted on by each other. They stimulate effort, they exert a happy and healthful spirit of emulation, they exert a mutual restraint, and exercise a most wholesome discipline. An .9 I esprit du corps pervades them. They familiarize the mind to the forum and tend to develop the habit of thorough investigation and logical precision. They superinduce the spirit of caution which is wise to select its facts and careful to subject them when selected to the' touchstone of history. They cultivate independence of thought, and, taking the mind out of the rut, throw it more or less on innate resources. If proper care be taken in the prepa- ration that ought always to precede discussion, and proper time be given for a full survey of the whole field, the result will be the highest practical, personal improvement. I will not pause longer in the review of the pre-eminent importance of just such socie- ties as those which you have formed, nor need I say more than this, that the names unfurled on your banners are most appropriate and most eloquently expressive of the thoughts that underlie them. Love of learning and love of the beautiful--two things that are not always joined together and yet ought never to be divorced in a world where everything is full of instruction, at once suggestive and exhaustive, and thus full of beauty-beauty that is mirrored on earth and sea and sky-beauty of form as endless as the things of which those forms- are the clothing-beauty of hues, that are as diversified as the hues of 'the rainbow or the autumn foliage. I think I find a topic not wholly foreign to the societies you represent in some thoughts which I would suggest touching our Alma Mater, wherein you have the blending of the useful and the beautiful as they are nowhere else so exquisitely blended- She is a star in the blazing firmament as yet scarcely known by name to multitudes of our citizens. The con- sciousness, that a State, which is so justly renowned in the sisterhood of States, as this great commonwealth of Maryland, is dead to the pre-eminent importance of an institution ofilearning of the highest grade, born of the State, and fostered and sustained by the State, may well stir within you feelings of an indignant patriotism, and prompt you to see if you cannot acquire the tuneful tongue to rebuke and impeach the moral treason of the age- You feel the wrong which this supineness has inflicted, and with access to the gushing fountains of knowledge, and under the moulding hand of the most able and competent instructors, you find yourselves but a handful, whereas these halls should be crowded to overflowing. There is an appeal to the stern logic of facts to which no State should be dead- To suffer her y0u11g men tO go Out from her in quest of an education she cruelly withholds from them, is the basest treason. Treasure it in your hearts, and when you go forth, as yearly some of you do, be bold to rebuke the shamelessness of the deed. As long-as that noblest feature of our present form of government, the creation of the sages of '76 is preserved-the sovereignty of the State within the soverignty of the Union-stars beautifully blended in a milky way of freedom-we repeat, as long as State lines are not blotted out, and State identity is recognized, so long does it behoove the State to see to it, that her sons are trained on her own soil and in strict familiarity with her physical organ- ism. Young men are, in more than a hgure, the pillars of the State- The State is and ought to be the mother of her sons. When the William and Mary school was merged in the Col- lege of St. J'ohn's, and the State stepped forward and aided by her annuity, the efforts of private citizens who raised a fund that was truly wonderful at that early day, she gave an example of the intense interest she felt in the cause of education. As long as the faith of the State was kept, the College continued to send forth sons, of whom any State might be proud. The College failed-not because ofcmy defect in her organization or administra-- tion, but solely because she was left without the funds that were pledged to her on the faith and honor of the State- The fact that she was the foster child of the State, at a time when we were rocked in the cradle of independencef, consecrates the claim she has to the fos- Q2 -:-fi l Q - Q 1 'ii v L ,MN tering care of the State now. Antiquity throws a charm over everything. It hallows even a ruin. .Nobility of birth is not less powerful to charm. This institution was born amid the thunders of the guns of '76, and the men who breathed into her the breath of life were the companions of the heroes of that golden era. It remains for their descendants to demonstrate whether the wisdom of the fathers shall be ignored by the sons. The list of the Alumni is before us. Key, the poet, orator, lawyer, philanthropist and scholar. John Hanson Thomas, whose voice awoke echoes in the mountain region that will live as long as the Alleghenies lift their proud summits to the skies, Hughes, the model diplo- matist. Herbert, the soul of honor, a man of great mental gifts and the highest culture. Robert H. Goldsborough, the truest type of the gentleman, and one of the most eloquent debaters in the ablest Legislature of the world- More recently still-Grason, the first Governor elected by the people, a man of granite mind and glowing wit. John Henry Alexander, the most learned man of the age. Thomas S. Alexander, among the foremost in the foremost rank of lawyers. Among the living I recognize one, who deserves to be mentioned for the love he has borne his Alma Mater, the strong sympathy he has shown her, and that, too, when the moss that grew upon her walls seemed to mark her for a ruin, and no footsteps echoed in her halls-the Hon. Alexander Randall- There is a moral heroism in his devotion to St. John's that touches the sublime-a tenderness in hispatient labor to secure for her a future worthy of her birth, that touches the beautiful. No one of us so blends the Philomathean and the Philokalian in himself, so far as the dear old College is concerned, as the Nestor of the brotherhood. It would be a gross wrong to my own feeling, and yours, if I were to pass on without some allusion to the most distinguished of our brothers, Reverdy Johnson, who today stands at the head of the bar of the Union, and who, in the green old age, is illustrating the grandeur of intellect, and the triumphs of genius, without any perceptible loss of the vigor of younger days. You can conceive my pride and pleasure, when, in the proud capital of England, I heard Sir Henry Holland, Sir William Ferguson, the two great surgeons of Europe, declare, that, in the estimation of the first of her living statesmen, Mr. Johnson was regarded as the prince of lawyers and statesmen, Key inscribed St. John's on the national banner 3 and Reverdy Johnson gave to Oxford and Cambridge, a living example of what the Severn of the New World could do to shed lustre on the Severn of the Old World. These are the jewels set in the diadem of the State by St- John's. Well did the ablest of her sons, my honored uncle, say, that it was the darkest day of the Commonwealth, when this bright light our fathers kin- dled on the shores of the Chesapeake, was extinguished in the blindness of patirsan rage, and in gross violation of the plighted faith of the State. You perceive, young gentlemen, that the question is not whether there should be a great State College, but whether, hav- ing one, we should give her the generous support she needs. That is a suicidal policy, which so many of our citizens pursue. Princeton, Yale, Harvard are chosen as the training spots of our sons, while our means are lavishly poured into their treasury. And yet, St. John's is the equal of either. Show me in the annals of the past a brighter list of alumni than she exhibits. Welling, the late most accomplished head of St. John's, and now at the head of an institution he so elevates by the power of his great mind, said at an alumni meeting that no college could be more admirably fitted for its Work. , There is a surprising popular delusion existing on this subject. It is high time it was dispelled. St. John's is crippled by the weakness of her resources, which is the result in part of this strange want of confidence, which, has, to justify it, not even the shadow of the I 93 semblance of a reason. Our College possesses a vast advantage in its location, the power of association, and in its being born of the State. It is in the Capital of the Commonwealth, on the shores of the most beautiful of rivers, and within view of the grandest of bays- It is withinxreach of the great forum, where, now, as of old, there is a constant exhibition of the highest displays of legal eloquence and logic-the Appellate Court of Maryland. It touches the Naval Academy where the General Government is discharging the duty it owes to those who are to be the future guardians of our commerce, and the defenders of our national honor on the seas. It is near the Capital of the Union. It is full of historic memories. It was here that Washington returned to the shades of private life, after having carved out a nation's independence. It was here that the memorable burning of the tea in the Chesapeake took place, which ante-dated the world-renowned heroism that was displayed in the harbor of Boston. Such is the spot our fathers chose for the site of St. Iohn's. We will not discuss the uses which the State might and ought to make of such a legacy bequeathed to her by such sires. The academies, fied from our public schools, might become in turn the feeders of the College, while the higher culture of the College might be made to How back, from the fountain head to the remoter members. We stand in need just now of a broader and profounder statesmanship-which, know- ing the value of the diamonds that are still deep hidden in the mines, is resolved to dig them out, and polish them for future use-a statesmanship, which regards young men, when properly trained and educated, as the bulwarks of freedom. Imbue your minds, and fire your hearts with thoughts like these. Here the Philomathean and Philokalian meet and mingle. This is emphatically the cause of the people. It is their interest to have education made cheaper, and brought within easy reach of all- You must soon mingle with them, and it becomes you to prepare yourselves to be the custodians of that, which underlies their power, and can alone fit them to meet the destiny that awaits them. To make St. Iohn's a power in this land, two things are requisite-gifts b ythe people, if only one dollar a year, and the patronage of the people-private gifts and private patronage-funds for build- ing, and the endowment of professorships. Weneed the poor man's sympathy and aid, as well as the more abundant largesses of the rich. Drops make up the ocean- Dollars make up the mint. The grand idea, which our fathers inaugurated, can only be made a reality by concert of action, and individual effort. The people must endow while the State is lavish of her wealth. What have the people done? Nothing, no, absolutely nothing. Princeton, Yale, Harvard have received their thousands. St. J'ohn's, nothing. This is marvellously strange. Who doubts that a grand hall should be erected at once? What name so appropriate, to use the language of Judge Tuck, as the People's Hall- We plead for our Alma Mater, not because she is our Alma Mater, but because she is native to the soil, beautiful for situation, and worthy of the patronage of the people. It has become very fashionable in our time to measure the value ofa thing by distance. Educated abroad sounds grandly on human ears. The parchment of Princeton, Yale or Harvard is thought to possess a peculiar charm- Is this philosophically true? Does dis- tance lend enchantment to this view? Will the glitter of a foreign college outweigh the less unostentatious attraction of home associations, provided the mental and moral training is equal. It is a marvel to me that, with all her disadvantages, St. John's has kept her place gy the side.-of the foremost colleges .of the land. But the fact is so. Home influence and ome associations against foreign habits, tastes and customs. 'This is the question. I say to the people of Maryland, attend the commencement exercises, and see for yourselves. It requires a good deal of 'philosophy to witness, without indignation, the' complacency with 94 A 'fs -s Mfrs-Qw. ' -- f.-.nb .If I L , , M- .A ,X ..

A . . , which so many of our citizens are wont to discuss the comparative merits of the different colleges of the land. What is of home manufacture is despised as worthless. What is foreign is necessarily good. And yet our Alumni are our passport to favor, and we feel that we need no other. Too much stress cannot be laid on this point. Without patron- age and a liberal outlay of means no college can Hourish. If the most infiuential and liberal of our citizens express their preference for an education acquired from without to that which may be acquired within the State, the College must languish. These gentlemen do more than refuse us their aid- They exert a most malign influence against us. For they dishonor St. Iohn's by withholding the confidence to which she is entitled, and by example, which is far more potent than words, they work against her. Let the State multiply her scholarships, and thus bring the highest grade of education to the poorest. Let this be done, and all is well. It is the misfortune of our race, that we are always prone to under- rate individual effort. ine power of the ocean is in the waves. The power of the waves is in the separate drops. It is the unceasing putting forth of small exertions that moves the world- The mountains are leveled, a spadeful at a time. Let each one fulfill his mission, and what would be left undone? A dollar a head would give us thousands. :All we want is a fair, open field of competition. I flatter myself that the time is not far distant when those who now send their sons to other States will feel the awakening of State pride and give to this venerable seat of learning the high sanction of their example, and the more substantial benefit of their patronage- But the Alumni must lead the way. They must assert her claim. They must make known to others what they know by experience, viz: that St. ,Iohn's is deserving of a place among the foremost colleges of the land. St. J'ohn's asks to be identified with People of the State. Your Governor is at the head of the Board of Trustees. Your Judges of the Court of Appeals, and thepresiding officers of the Senate and House of Delegates are members of it. Young gentlemen, your societies are giving demonstration that the tuneful tongue is not yet lost to Maryland, and in the subtlety of debate, with the power of word-painting to illustrate the ,line of the argument, and logic in beautiful combination. Learning bubbles time and again, won plaudits from an admiring audience. I would counsel you to bear in mind that your Alma Mater will need your persuasive tongue, and highest enthusiasm. Amid those other dreams of ambition, which are Hitting before you in the halls you so dignify and ennoble, be this the most cherished, the sweetest, the brightest, and the best, viz: that you are to consecrate your highest powers to the cause of education, and seek to keep this one particular star in the ascendant. I might have chosen a topic more popular, perhaps, and seemingly more appropriate if I had followed in the path that bore the giant footprints of Welling, or the orator of last year, the gifted and scholarly I-Iagner- But they were not as generous as Boaz to the glean- ers of his ripened fields. For they plucked every iiower that bloomed, and left only a barren waste behind them. My heart was full. I thought, and still think, that the theme was well chosen, the Philomathian and Philokalian in beautiful combination. Learning bubbles up at the fountain head, and the beautiful meets us in all surroundings. Young gentlemen, the idea has gone abroad that this is only an Annapolis school, and the result is that a tide of bitter prejudice has set in against her in some sections of the State. Citizens of Annapolis, I turn to you in this juncture. You must prove to your fellow-citizens that you desire not a petty local school, but a great State College. And surely 'Annapolis, the Athens of the New World, ever distinguished for the love of the beautiful, will spring to the work before her, and meet her just responsibility. One of the most dis- 95 tinguished of our Alumni, your son, honored wherever known for his wealth of mind and h rt Judge Tuck has pledged a thousand dollars. Another, not an Alumnus, your adopted ea 2: . . . son whose ripely cultivated intellect has, on So many occasions, fascinated you with the com- bined flowers of rhetoric and logic, has pledged another thousand. Annapolitans, can it be that you will not appreciate the wisdom of the choice, that made this venerable city the seat of the College? Iwill not believe it. I am one of those who think that the people's ' b tl C should lead in ork should be done by the people. Not the monied few, ut ie masses W . this Great work of educational reform. Let the streams of your beueficence, formed of single D d meet and mingle with the State's benefaction, and the Collegelis safe- Many a .dia- rops, Q, mond now concealed from human view will be brought forth and set in the country's crown to enhance her ancient glory. . a . ' The spirit of the olden times is not dead.. Philomathians and Philokahans, there is power enough in you to fan it to a brighter flame. V Forty' odd years ago I dreamed golden dreams as I wandered through those consecrated grounds, and listened to the echoes of the past as they whispered through the branches of the grand old poplar, and one of the brightest of those dreams was the rising of St. Iohnls from its ashes. That dream is but half ful- filled. The hour has been too long delayed, and I now turn to you, her gifted sons, to help us to make it a grand reality. The eloquence of years is concentrated in one brief hour. By the memories of the past I implore you too seize hold of, use and improve the present opportunity. Key, Thomas, Murray, Johnson are blending their tuneful tongue, with our feeble advocacy-the living and the dead- They all commend her to your care, your sym- pathy and pecuniary aid. 1 Yours is a grand destiny if you are wise to meet it. You may fix stars in the firmament of thought, and noble activity, that will burn on forever. You may add to the lustre of the past new names, to grace the scroll that shall bear no other motto than this-the College cradled in the revolution, whose destiny is onward and upward- Young gentlemen, you are living in a great age-an age of extraordinary mental activ- ity, full of the wealth of invention, and teeming with the fruits of knowledge, gathered on every field of thought. It is in age, however, whose very intellectuality constitutes a peril, against which it becomes you to watch. It is a glorious part. It is above the envy of the most envious. The present is before you. On its proper use and wise husbandry depends the future. It was my privilege to listen to a debate between your two societies. The subject was one of absorbing interest. It was characterized by great power on both sides. Facts, the result of close investigation, and careful research, were marshalled' with great skill by each of the contestants. I felt proud of the talent I witnessed and consider the discussion one of the strongest proofs of the value of such literary societies to the College and the State- Young gentlemen, the theme was well chosen. The question you debated stretches for- ward, and penetrates the vast and unexplored future. It is a question to be determined amid the accumulation of stars in the blazing constellation. The sovereignty of States Evithin the sovereignty of the Union, withlno conflict of powers and no just cause of con- ict-the M agna.Cha1'te1' with the broad shield of the Habeas Corpus, and a pure judiciary, with nerve of will to declare the law and nerve of will to execute it, or 'else the total fxlipiiliiitliose stars, and the fatal. jar in the complex machinery of the government, which liberty be 103 iillgiggggiiiiidEEJO'CgS11gwan tgelzlvlll of one man will become the law, and you discussed was C1 - .1151 W - ie e of your debate was broad-the question 631' 35 P0531 C- The echoes of your eloquence have died away on the 96 ear. But the question itself remains. Was it a providential prognostication or a mere accident ? It remains for you to demonstrate, that the people are capable of' self-govern- ment, and to this end you must devote all your powers. The people must be educated for the crisis-they must be raised above the atmosphere of a pitiful partizanship, and have their feet set on the rock of a broad conservative statesmanship. They must breathe once again the fresh, pure air of the mountains that echoed ot the tread of freemen, and take their stand by the compatriot fathers of the Republic with the broad aegis of the Consti- tution over them, as they march, to use the language of the incomparable Choate, to the music of the Union. You will have your part to act in the solution of the fearful problems we have to solve in the national life. The question will be removed from the halls of debate where mind met mind, and wit clashed with wit to the stirring arena of actual life. Be true to duty. Be true to your country- Be true to yourselves. Above all and in all be true to the destiny that is before you. Strong men alone can meet the exigen- cies of the times-men of purity, of honor and of truth. Ripe culture, exact scholarship, high-toned moral principle, steadiness of will, and fixedness of purpose constitute the ele- ments of the greatness which the country's future weal demands- Drifting from her ancient moorings, our noble ship must founder. You will soon be on the quarter deck. Keep ever before you the fact that a little more drifting will plunge us on a more fatal rock than Scylla or Charybdis. Keep by you the compass, never let go- your hold on the cableg and you will ride the sea in safety. The Union Hag at the masthead-the port of entry, the harbor of '76-the haven far away in the deep blue of the sea not yet explored-the crew disciplined and taught to love the flag that envelopes them, and you will be the honored instruments of preserving the past in all its glory, and making the future the faithful reflection of the past. Wlieri I reflect that I stand in the presence of the young men ofthe country, who are destined to transmit to coming generations this rich heritage of glory, or to witness the eclipse of the stars that have shone so brightly in the iirmament of liberty and of the Union, I feel the magnitude of the crisis, and cannot express the anxietyithat consumes me as I lift, up a warning voice and bid them be true to duty, true to the country, true to the destiny that awaits them.

Now, if this kinetic could be converted into potential energy and liberated in some systematic manner, the good people living about the college would have better nerves and Orpheus, perhaps, venture another smile. Finally, in 1887, a Glee Clubi' was organized, and Professor Cain, after becoming modesty, accepted the leadership. ' The great number of weddings that immediately followed the open-air con- cert, given during the june evenings, demonstrated its complete success, and since that time the men of St. Iohn's have not permitted this pleasing feature to be neglected. 1 O7 The Mandolin and Glee Club J' Officers AUGUSTUS W.

All others have foi their object either the promotion of the social or physical side but the Y. M. C. A. goes deeper and works for the grandest and ,most divine thing in the world-the human soul. Qthersideal with questions involving but abrief period of time g this organization has for its scope eternity. The Y. M. C. A. was first organized in 1886, and since that time its growth has been steady, if slow. It has had to face the opposition that anything religious meets in a college. It is a sad but nevertheless true fact that the majority of college men realize well the importance of developing their minds and bodies, and yet totally disregard the necessity of developing their souls. I It is this indifference that has been the organization's worst enemy. It is always a comparatively 'easy matter to meet and overcome open resistance, but indifference is something which requires more than the force of logic to overcome. The quarters of the association were formerly located in Pinkney Hall. Une of the large rooms in that building is still called the Y. M. C. A. in memory of its former tenant. But of late years the necessity for more room became apparent, and so the metings began to be held in the old historic chapel. There in the hall, revered by every St. Iohnis man, twice each week religious meetings are held. During the past year a reading room has been furnished by the efforts of the association. The daily papers are taken and placed on file for the accommodation of the student body. The association has long realized the necessity of keeping in touch with the work of other organizations, and in pursuance of this policy sends delegates of students to the T ri-State Convention at Northfield and to the annual Presidents' Conference. One delegate was also sent to the Toronto Students' Convention this year. ' In addition to the reading room and the religious meetings, the Y. M. C. A. plays an important part in the students' life. It has long been the custom to give a reception in the first days of the College year. Speeches are made by men rep- resenting the various interests of the College, refreshments served and the new students especially made to feel at home. A hand book is also edited and published by the association. The hand book is a fund of information for the new student about the College and Town. Blank pages are left for memoranda, and II4 X 1 I l v fr- ' fha EJ wi I I. f. .V fl E I 1 'si pi li H -I -f 1. Q! ' l , lift i'-I - fy .1 1. sn, ' ji if l.

Space forbids us from going into a discussion of the internal workings of the organization, of the various committees, and their object and purposes. Sufficient is it to say that to the best of their ability the officers and members labor for the promotion ofsChrist's kingdom in St. john's College. We will close this brief sketch concerning the noblest institution of the College life with an earnest appeal for more general and hearty support in the work which the Y. M. C. A. is attempting.

In past years football teams have been pro- duced which have nobly defended the athletic reputation of Old St. Iohn's, and this yearfs team has gallantly followed in the footsteps of such predeF cessors. Every man entered into the sport with that To-do-or-to-die spirit, and this fact in itself seemed to predict a successful season. I - 'Tis true, we lost the opening game to the United States Naval Academy Team, but I really do believe that it is to this defeat that we owe the success that attended us during the remainder of the season, for it banished all those preconceived notions that had arisen concerning the strength of our team. We realized that we had plenty of hard practice before usvbefore we could produce a winning team, so our boys set to work with redoubled energy. What was the result? Look at our scores against Gallaudet and Georgetown. VV e only tied them, I must acknowledge, but they were gamesters in playing with whom not to have lost is to have won a great deal. Georgetown had defeated the University of Virginia, who were the recog- nized champions of the South, so in tieing the former we had a just claim to an equal share to the honors of that position. During the entire season we lost but two games-one to the Navy and one to Swathmore. The defeat inflicted upon us by the latter team, I really attribute' to the over-confidence that seems to always take possession of our men soon after winning a few victories. I-Iowever, this defeat, like our first, proved to be a bless- ing in disguise, for we won all the remaining games except the one with I-Iopkins, and in that we appeared to be the victims of circumstances. I 1 - G11 'Elle Wl'1Ol6, 'Elle football SCELSO11 of IQOI-IQO2 Was One Of the m'r3St Successful in the history of our College, for, aside from our many victories, Mr. Casper VVhitney has publicly declared that we have the unique distinction fof keeping our athletics clean.

Encouraged by a band of rooters which considerably outnumbered those of our opponents, our men went into the game with a snap that simply carried Hopkins off her feet. In the first half, Hopkins kicked off and downed us on our 20-yard line. Rain- soaked and mud-bedaubed, we worked the ball from here to the Hopkins 20-yard line, where we lost it on a fumble. Fumble followed fumble in rapid succession, and the ball continued to pass first from our possession into Hopkins', and vice versa, until Time was called, when the ball was on Hopkins, 20-yard line and in our possession. Amid prolonged cheering and waving of liags, St. john's ran upon the rain- soaked lield again for the second half. Randall kicked off and regained the ball on a fumble on Hopkins' 30-yard line. We seemed, however, unable to take advantage o-f this excellent chance for a touchdown, for we lost the ball on downs. Hopkins, having the heavier team, now shoved us over the slippery ground, but they soon lost the ball near the center of the field on an off-side play. Again we worked the ball down the field, but it was apparent that we were weakening under the -'superior weight of the Hopkins men. We were soon compelled to give up the ball again and our opponents worked it to our 25-yard line. Although they lost it here on an off-play, we were forced to kick, downing Hopkins in the center of the field. Here we held them for downs, bue we were again forced to try a kick. ,Randall fumbled the toss and was downed. Again we tried a kick and downed Hopkins on tfieir 30-yard line. From this point Hopkins worked the ball to our 5-yard line, but again lost it on an off-side play. Again we kicked, but this time the ball was ' Jlocked and downed on our I2-y8.1'Cl line, a Hopkins' man capturing the ball. VVe now really held them for downs, but the referee called First downf, so we l iad to submit to another series of rushes. The critical moment had arrived-five minutes to play and the ball on our two yard line. Hopkins centre started to pass the ball, but the slippery ground seemed to hold g . -..YV .4 134 2 ' ,x .lg Q i S F '.'J'K'9'r-w- 1-,rv::-rfr '- .

At this point began the discussion which caused us to leave the field and forfeit Why we left the field I will not attempt to discuss, but will quote to you Prof. Cain's views concerning the affair, and the facts that led up to it. That St. John's should leave the field and refuse to finish a game in any branch of sport is an extraordinary occurrence, indeed, more than fifteen years of close relationship to her athletic teams does not enable me to recall another instance- Naturally and properly, some of the alumni have asked for a statement of the circumstances that infiuenced the captain of the football team when he refused to finish the Hopkins game and left the field under protest against the referee's decisions, and it is solely for the purpose of answering these rightful inquiries that this statement is made. While we are not indifferent to news- paper comments and criticism, we have in this matter pursued our long-established policy of refraining from controversies in the public press. We aim to be manly and sportsman- like with all our opponents, and having taken a stand for what we believe to be right, we abide by all the consequences of our action. In this case, however, so unusual as it is, an explanation is due the alumni and friends of the College. I Much might be said as to the difficulty of agreeing upon officials and the conduct of certain individuals during the game, but with these matters, as with the merits of the teams, this article has nothing to do. Our refusal to finish the game rested solely on the incor- rectness of the referee's rulings. The first display of incompetency occurred when we attempted to play what we call our close formation. This play is used by some of the best teams in the country, having been first used, I believe at Princeton. We have played it for three years against every team we have faced, and never before has it been questioned. VVe played it repeatedly in our game against the Navy team, with the chairman of the rules committee as umpire. He saw nothing about it that is contrary to the rules. In the I-Iopkins game, when the signal was given to close up, the referee informed the captain of our team that we could not use .that play. The rule book was produced, the umpire gave his judgment that the play was perfectly proper, Mr. Spates protested, but all in vain- After all this, the referee announced so as to be heard on the side lines, If you play that play I'l1 take the ball away from you. Now, the point to be particularly noted about this ruling is that the matter of formations, as, indeed, of the positions of the players in general, is one over which the referee has nojurisdiction whatever. The rules say that the 'LHI1-Pi7'6' is the judge of the players. Moreover, in the discussion the referee claimed that the formation was in violation of Rule 18. But, under Duties of Officialsf' Rule 29, II, the enforcement of Rule I8 is distinctly and specifically given as a duty and responsibility of the 1fL74fIfP1:7'6. For the referee to interfere in the matter was an arbitrary assumption of authority, in plain violation of the rules. It is taking a charitable view to say that his judgment was faulty. But that, no doubt, is the view Captain Spates took, for though the play was the most effective one we had at that stage of the game, he dropped it and con- tinued to play, rather than expose his college to the risk of unfavorable criticism. If we have any regret in connection with our action on that day, it is that we did not then and there refuse to go on- There could have been no more justifiable ground for a refusal to play. Later in the game I-Iopkins had worked the ball down inside our five-yard line. In their anxiety as to the outcome, many of the sympathizers of each team had gathered around the players. In response to an inquiry as to the number of the down, the referee was heard 135 - , ,,. I A H ..,, ,..----.--. -- - to announce, Second down, a touchdown to make. The latter expression struck me at the moment as an unfortunate one to use, but a glance at the position of the linesmen showed that in two more attempts the Hopkins team had to carry the ball across the goal line or surrender it to St. Iohn's. They took their two trials and failed to carry the ball over, in fact, failed to make any gain. None of the onlookers seemed to question the fact that four downs had been played, but when Captain Spates claimed the ball the ref- eree informed him that it was Hopkins' ball on the third down. Here again protest and argument were without avail, and again St. John's gave way. Another down played, and again Hopkins failed to gain. During the progress of the play the referee blew no whistle to indicate that anything was wrong, but after the play had been made and stopped by St. Iohnls, he approached the umpire and asked, Are you going to declare off-side play? The umpire said there was no off-side play. Then, sai-d the referee, I call interference with the .center,', and he proceeded to allow half the remain- ing distance to the goal line and give the ball to Hopkinsfor a first down- This ruling Captain Spates again protested, and asked the referee to get the judgment of the other officials. The umpire, the two linesmen and the two timekeepers were called upon for testimony, but none of them could say that he saw off-side play, interference with the center, or anything improper or irregular in the play. The referee, however, refused to change his decision, and after waiting a reasonable time for him to reconsider his action, Captain Spates called the team from the field. There was no opportunity for honest difference of judgment as to the first error. Had there been, it would have been the duty of those concerned to submit to the judgment of the referee- But every one who saw the plays, and who could count four, knew that the referee was wrong as to the number of downs. To decide the probable right or wrong in the conflicting contentions as to the second point in dispute-interference with the center-the position of the observers and the sur- rounding circumstances must be taken into consideration. Spates is a guard, and, of course, stood within half a yard of the ball. The writer stood directly behind the center, not more than seven yards off, and, therefore, had an unobstructed view of the ball and the men who could possibly interfere with the center. The referee stood to one side, not less than twelve yards from the ball, his view being obstructed by half the players on each team. It was after 5 olclock, or about 20 minutes after sunclfown, on a very rainy day. I From the position of the referee he could not see what was going on. At best his decision rested on guesswork. I say most emphatically there was no off-side play, no inter- ference with the center. Had there been the slightest doubt about the fairness' of the play, I would have advised Captain Spates to accept the judgment and continue to play. But know- ing that he had yielded twice, when the referee was clearly and absolutely wrong, I could not counsel him to do otherwise than he did. Had he finished the game he would have been in the position either of a man who did not know his rights, or knowing, had not the courage to stand for them. It was one thing to let the game go by default and under protest against decisions wrong both as to fact and rule, it was quite a different matter to lose the game by letting the referee continue to give the ball to Hopkins until they could carry it over under the pretence of regularity. Captain Spates chose the former course. It should be added that his action meets with the approbation of every one connected with the college- 'While we have such men to lead our athletic teams, St. Iohn's reputation for sportsman- ship is entirely safe. 1 3,6 1..- -- - ..su.ag-.,.............wa 1-r:':,.: gzdgr.

' Perhaps a thrilling history of athletics at Qld H9 5 3131- . 9 St. john might be written were one to wx eave together the ieports of the trials and triumphs which our several teams have experienced in past years. VV e are now concerned, however, with only one chapter--f'Athletics in the spring of I9oI . A sorry picture presents itself to me as I recall the facts and circum- stances surounding the inauguration of the sports at this time. 'Tis true, our baseball material looked promising, in fact, there was plenty of material, and good material, too, but there wasnlt that true St. Iohn's spirit which had so characterized our College in former years. Our track team was sadly handicapped by the loss of three of last year's team-I-Ierman, Hill and Rullman-but the opening afforded by the loss of these men should have been an incentive to the new men. Here was an opening- a splendid opening, too-of which our men were slow to avail themselves. This same lack of spirit afterward asserted itself in baseball, too. At first there was an abundance of good material, but as the season advanced there was a rapid decrease in the number of candidates, until at times there were scarcely enough men upon the field to make a second team. For want of a better name I have entitled the history of our games at home HA Comedy of Errorsf' On March 3oth we opened our season very encouragingly by defeating the Baltimore City College by a score of IO to 3. On the following Saturday we went to Alexandria to play our first game abroad. This trip and our only other trip abroad-one to Westniinster on May Iith-are so fraught with incidences that I have preserved them for a subsequent chapter- Cnr Games Abroad . A glance at the scores will demonstrate the fitness of my title: We either lost all the games or were prevented from doing so by sympathetic jupiter Pluvius, In track and tennis events, the results were practically the same, so I deem it wise to pass them on without a discussion. 146 A Chronicle of Cnr Games Abroad i OW behold there arose a great man in our school who was known as ' A Richard the Daft. VV herewith he was desirous of defeating a certain tribe called the Episcolopians and it came to pass that on a time Richard the Daft sent a challenge even into the camp of the Fpiscolopians even into their own camping grounds, which was called Alexandria the Dead. .And Richard let it be known that on a certain day he would meet the cohorts of the Episcolopians on their own grounds and would show them how to do it. So he called his cohorts unto him and went with them into the town that was called the Beautiful and thence into the town that was called the Dead and there he awaited the cohorts of the Episcolopians. D But behold the rain poured and all but a few who tarried that they might say Rubbers unto one another departed. Now Richard made speech unto the Episcolopians and called unto him the keeper of the guarantee and said: Hearken unto my speech' l would that thou payest up the costs as thou didst say. Pay up and give us even as thou didst promise. - - But he hearkened not neither did he pay. Now Richard the Daft was exceeding wroth and withdrew his remaining cohorts Now it came to pass on a certain day he went into another place which was called Westminster. Now the Carrollites had spoken unto themselves: Let us get the gang of Iohnnyites and lay them under the sod. And lo, it came to pass. And through the night they made merry, and when the dawn came, there was nothing left except some headaches and some broken hearts. Now, when Richard went unto the Chief of the Carrollites with his bill, he said unto them: Behold, thou art to the bad with me to the tune of many dollars, wherefore I ask. of thee, wilt thou pay even as was promised?

St. ohn s has a golf club-and a course too strange to relate. How did it all happen? A Well some time ago Annapolisboasted ofaGolfClub oflwhichseveral of our Profs were members-high muck-a-muclcs in fact and under their leadership the aforem mentioned club flourished. But like every other organization that aspires to a position greater than that which it is capable of 'retaining it collapsed, and itsdisorganization was the beginning of the St. johns Golf Club for those honored Profs. of whom I have spoken before having become such enthusiasts over the game immediately repaired to our' rear campus and at their own expense' had a course laid out. - School opened and several of our curious members like Bip for instance in their tour' of inspection espied these little hearts on posts and immediately appealed to the Profs. for information. Novi by Way of explanation our. Profs. are very good economists so in response to the query they very modestly hinted that it would be a good plan for the Athletic Association to introduce that branch of sport into the College adding with a sly wink that perhaps the Athletic Association could also refund to them Qthe Profs. the money that they had ex- btrange to say the plan met With the approval of the Executive Committee and the campus was soon ablaze with red jersevs to such an extent in fact that rules had to be passed forbidding baseball and tennis at all hours when the golfers chose to 'be upon the field. All this for the Golf Club! May she hve long and prosper!

To this remarkable individual belongs the distinction of bearing the name of the elder brother of the human race, his ancestors have carried this name for generations. The string of Cains is unbroken. The original Cain was not his great C?j grandfather, but the brother of Abel, as is well known. But there is another fact which had escaped the authorities, or some of the author- ities, until the present Rat Tat board was created. Through almost unheard of labor we have been able to establish the fact conclusively, that after Cain had killed Abel, the latter decided to name his eldest son in honor of his brother to show that he QAbelj could forgive, and so the great family of Cains was originated. The present representative was born somewhere in the great State of Connecticut. After going through Yale, where he distinguished himself by his moral and tem- perate qualities, he made his appearance as a member of our Faculty at the head of the English Department. Lately he has contributed largely to the field of liter- ature, his chief works being A defence of the use of slang incompositionf' IGI-TN L. CHEXN' was born in the verdant depths of old Ireland., In his early youth, his mathematical qualities distinguished him. At the age of three, he solved to his great delight, the cubical contents of a cylindrical ar of jam. Soon after, it was his privilege to have the opportunity to calculate the acceleration of a slipper in the hand of an irate mother towards a small boy-the original speed being given. In the shadowy past he becameudisgusted with Ireland, because a green surface resisted his efforts to calculate its thickness. He came to America with the inten- tion of making pins g but being unable to calculate the number of molecules on the point of a No. 4 pin, he accepted a professorship in this venerable college. His mathematics are his own delight, the pride of the faculty and the dread of us-the plebians. We close this sketch with an earnest wish that it may never enter into his head to solve the exast number of lives in this edition of the Rat Tat. We are sure he would fail, and then we might lose him. B. V. CTSSEL has the distinction of being not only the most energetic man in the faculty, but in the whole city of Annapolis, where the speed of the inhabi- tants is remarkable. It may seem improbable when we assert that on January 2, IQO2, at 8.16 A. M., in the physical laboratory, he thrust his hand into his pocket, on the left side of his coat, and drew forth a key in exactly six minutes, thirteen and three-fifths seconds.

In l1is ow11 words, l1is fatl1er was a German, and l1is mother a French lady. After receivi11g a liberal educatio11 i11 tl1e universities of Europe, he served with distinctio11 in tl1e Franco-Germa11 war. His life from tl1at period l1as been devoted to turning tl1e ends of l1is Kaiser'Willia1n moustache through an arc of ISO degrees. He l1as succeeded up to this time in getting tl1em just half way, or go degrees. We despair of l1is furtl1er success, for it is only the French elen1ent that has come downg we cannot expect the German to yield. He has been with us only a few mo11tl1s, but we HCl1T1l1'C tl1e tenacity of his purpose and hope that some day he may succeed. PROF. FUSEY-is in all probability of Dutch extractio11. At least, tl1is is tl1e only way in which the Freshman can account for l1is extraordinary command of the German language. But we, wl1en 111ade editors of tl1e Rat Tat, acquired also a11 intuitive knowledge, whicl1 is foreign to FI'6Sl1lT1C11,iH11Cl we ca11 accou11t for this in anotl1er and 111LlCl1 more plausible way. Mr. Pusey, after graduati11g from St. Iohn's with an excellent record, especially i11 football, went to Germany to per- fect himself in the language. But l1e was aln1ost despairing of becoming a true Dutchman when an idea occurred to him. He l1ad one of l1is vei11s ope11ed, a11d witl1 the aid of a bicycle pun1p l1e transferred tl1e blood of a German laborer, VVl'101T1 he l1ad bribed, to l1is own veins, a11d l1is ow11 gore to tl1ose of tl1e Dutcl1man. 167, 1 Am, , . . wo.: , ..,- vw .mr The result was even greater than he expected. The German immediately came to this country and became a millionaire. Professor Pusey became so Very German and acquired such a knowledge of the language that at one time he Was on the point of demanding a part of the blood back. But the other refused to part with it, so Professor Pusey became the head of the German department of this College, for there was no law in his rather unusual case. He served his country Well in the Spanish-American War, being a captain in one of the Maryland regiments. ff Wm I0 . f i, 7 7:1 .

Ce monarque modele avait un Ells unique de dix-huit ans, qui devait 2 lui succeder un jour. Il lui avait fait donner la meilleure education en vue de sa 'Q haute vocation future. Mais, sachant que rien n'est plus apte a elargir les vues , et a former le caractere que les voyages at l' etranger, il resolut de le faire Voyager pour quelques annees. A son grand regret, les circonstances n'avaient jamais f permis au roi de visiter les pays etrangers, et c'etait pour lui une raison de plus 5 de donner cet avantage a son successeur. l Un grand vaisseau fut immediatement equipe sur l'ordre du roi, et le commande- L ment en fut confie au meilleur capitaine at long cours. l Le depart du prince heritier fut une occasion solennelle. On avait construit sur 5 une hauteur pres de la plage une estrade, au centre de laquelle le roi etait assis sur l son trone, entoure des grand dignitaires du royaume et de ses gardes. Le prince vint s'agenouiller devant san pere, et apres avoir recu la benediction du vieillard, 'l il se rendit, accompagne d'acclamations enthousiastes, at bord du vaisseau, qui mit i immediatement a la Voile. 2 A peine le vaisseau se fut il eloigne du rivage de quelques centaines de pas, que le roi se leva subitement de son siege, et, laissant de cote les regles de l'etiquette l aussi bien que la dignite royale, se mit a courir Ei toutes jambes vers le rivage, avec Q une Vitesse etonnante pour son age. La, il s'arreta, et, se servant de ses deux 6 mains comme porte-voix: I-Elles sont toujours les memes, s,ecria-t-il, Une, l'oublie jamais, mon cher Els. L Ces paroles lancees d'une voix sonore et claire, furent entendues par le prince, I mais il n'en put saisir le sens. Il pria donc le capitaine de virer de bord et de se l rapprocher du rivage, afin de pouvoir demander des explications ri son pere. j Mais celui-la refusa net, alleguant l'ordre stricte du roi de ne pas pointer le cap sur la cote de la patrie avant deux annees de croisee dans les mers. Le prince I dut donc se resignerg mais il restait longtemps debout sur la poupe, le regard 1 fixe sur la cote, qui disparraissait de plus en plus at l'horizon, et ruminant les der- Ql nieres paroles de son pere, sanscependant parvenir at en comprendre le sens. I? Cette derniere exhortation etrange du roi preoccupait le prince beaucoup les 1 premiers, temps du voyage. Mais peu a peu, les impressions toujours nouvelles et 165 Ax 4 l l variees, ainsi que llinsouciance de la jeunesse, lleffacaient de plus en plus de sa memoire, jusqu' at la Hn il n'y pensait plus. Les deux annees de croisee allaient finir, et le vaisseau avait deja pris son cours vers la patrie, lorsqu, un jour il s'approcha dlune ile magnifique, toute couverte de la vegetation riche et admirable de la zone torride, En la voyant surgir de l'eau sous le soleil bleme du matin, on aurait dit une emerande incrustee dans de l'or. Le prince exprima aussitot au capitaine le desif d'y aborder. Mais celui-ci lui repondit que c'etait impossible, que cette ile etait habitee par des amazones, qui tuaient infailliblement tout homme qui oserait y mettre le piedg que de temps en temps un temeraire s'etait hazarde diy penetrer et avait disparu d'une maniere mysterieuse. Loin de detourner le prince de son projet, le conte du capitaine avait, au con- traire, stimule son desir de visiter cette ile redoubtable, Cletat le fruit defendu, partant exquis. ' L'occasion lui. etait favorableg a cause d'un calme, le vaisseau etait force de passer la nuit pres de llile et avait jete l'ancre. Quand tout le monde a bord sletait endormi, le prince quitta clandestinement sa cabine, monta sur le pont et, de la, se laissa glisser dans une nacelle qu'il avait preparee d'avance. Lille lui apparaissait gigantesque dans le clair de lune et plus mysterieuse que jamais. ll se mit aussitot at ramer, jugeant dans la lueur trompeuse la distance plus petite qulelle n'etait en verite. Apres un dur travail, il y abmfda enfm, et, at bout de forces, se jeta sur la plage pour s' endormir aussitot. L I Le soleil s'etait leve et baignait llile dans une limiere dlor, quand le prince ouvrit les yeux et se trouva, a sa grande surprise, en presence de trois belles ama- zones. Elles etaient en armures, coiffees de casques et armees de lances et de glaives. Un heureux- melange de grace feminine et de male prestance leur don- nait un charme tout at fait particulier. Elles le saluerent tres poliment et l'invi- Aterent at les accompagner au palais de la reine. Introduit dans la salle du trone, le prince vit lareine assise en grande ceremonie, entouree de sa cour et de ses gardes. Elle etait toute jeune et d'une beaute exquise. Elle repondit a son salut par un sourire gracieux et lui dit: ' A Sois le bien venu mon cher prince! Nous ferons de notre mieux pour rendre ton sejour heureux, et tous les plaisirs que la terre puisse offrir aux mortels,' tu les gozitevfas chez nous. Mais pour trois jours seulement. Car une vieille et sainte loi de mon pays que je n'ai point le pouvoir d'abolir, nous impose le triste devoir de te tuer le soir meme du troisieme jour.

Regardant la reine bien en face, il lui dit d'une voix haute et ferme : A O Reine ! mon dernier voeu est, que Ia plus ag6e de tes amazones me donne le premier coup de lance! A ces paroles, les amazones furent consternees. Mais la reine, qui avait de l'esprit, dit: Nous ne pouvons te tuer, puisque aucune des amazones ne veut porter le premier coup de lance, mais si tu veux bien consentir a etre mon epoux, ce sera, a mon avis, la meilleure solution de cette situation embarrassante !

In fact, he had all the making of a respectable citizen. He was supposed to room in 65, but he was seldom seen where he belonged. Rooms 59 and 71 used 65 for a reading and writing room. Une night Jarvis went calling. On his return he met on the third floor landing a bucketful of very self-possessed water. Indeed, it struck him as being rather cool. His uniform overcoat collar was turned up, making a first-class funnel through which the water could run down his back. Pleasant! But Jarvis did not express it that way. J It was absolutely necessary that he go to his room-however much he might hate to do it-to find dry clothing, so he wended his weary way to 65. The door was locked, and, of course, the .keys were inside, but that did not matter. It was as easy to break the lock as it was to go to sleep, and quite as much fun. He kicked and-here he got a tremendous joke on somebody. Now do not say that he did not enjoy it. Somefun-loving individual had gone to the trouble to place a bucket of water over the door of 65 in such a way that it would drench the one opening the door. It worked admirably, but Jarvis was already as wet as he could be. Ha! Ha! That gentleman went to all that trouble for nothing, the puddinhead. 'When he got in the room he noticed that his bed was gone, but that did not trouble him. There were dozens of other beds in the hall and it was a small matter to move one of them into his room. His trunk, too was gone, probably down town to the house to which the fellows supposed he had gone that night, but the people would take care of it till morning, and there were hundreds of expressmen in town. It was Jarvis' nature to take things philosophically. He undressed, put on a bath robe, lit his pipe, and started out to see what might be going on. Seeing nothing of interest to him on the fourth floor, he strolled down to the third-the hotbed of innocence and Freshmen. It happened that a new one had just arrived and Doctor Garver had very kindly fitted his room up with new furniture, and the bed was especially good. Surely Providence was concerned in that, somehow! I 168 i I 0+ r i l l fl ii ll F F l ,li l I I I i l '. i lj I if t Q, if Ei -if 1, Jarvis looked through the open door and saw not only what has been men- tioned, but also that the Freshie looked lonesome. With a view to cheering up the youngster, he walked in and introduced himself. After some common talk ' ' Jarvis realized suddenly that he was desperately hungry, and the Freshie, for the sake of being agreeable, owned up that he was, too. Come along, then,' said Jarvis, and we'll see what is in store for us. You'll never get along here till you learn how to make yourself at home. Come on and fill show you around. They strolled to Room 79, where Jarvis thought he could probably find some caramels. It happened that the occupants of 7Q were in and that a half dozen other fellows were in with them, all enjoying a little feast. Just the thing! 9 Gentlemen, Jarvis sang out when, after much persuasion and not a few threats, T have the honor to present to you Mr. Willie Verdant n H J , ewly arrived, kindly make him comfortable. ' The gang, seeing that Jarvis had some game on hand, very generously made themselves agreeable to the lately homesick Mr. Verdant. After a while Jarvis left the room, saying he would be back shortly. Of course it did not take long to carry innocent W'illie's bed up to his own room, so he was able to be as good as his word. . X After spending a very pleasant evening, during which he learned that the l upper c assmen were real nice fellows, Willie withdrew to his now pleasant room. Jarvis happened in a little later and very vehemently expressed his opinion of anyone who could stoop so low as to steal a bed. After a little skirmishing around he found another new bed in a freshman's room and, after giving its owners a good lecture and promising them a good, honest hazing, he removed it to the new man's room. Later he happened in and told the bed-stealing Q PJ freshman that the hazing might be averted if someone would go do-wn to 196 Dobbin Street and bring up a trunk that had been brought there that evening. The Freshies took the hint and the trunk was pushed into room 65, at 11.39 P. M. Two or three hours later enough good sense to get along well in the world. Jarvis went to bed, congratulating himself on having 45 vgoabqv itgyli 169 A Trip Through Southern Maryland l at I ALTIMGRE, 'Wilmington, Philadelphia and New York, Popels Creek and VVay Stations! All aboard! It is early upon a beautiful morning of Qctober that we board this north-bound express at the Pennsylvania depot in VVashington, anticipating' a delightful trip through Southern Maryland. To the left the dome of the Congressional Library, reflecting the glory of the rising sun, shines like a hemisphere of burnished gold. To the right, against the blue vault of heaven, VVashington Monument stands forth as a pillar of cloud. To the front stretches a broad expanse of water and marsh, spanned by a long trestle. Nightls candles have burnt out, and jocund day stands tip-toe on the misty mountain topf' Had Shakespeare interwoven a Prince George county scene into his tragedy he would have had to be content with a small hill covered with scrubby pine trees instead of a mountain. But Shakespeare seems to have not been impressed to any great degree by Prince George county scenery, probably because he never saw it. George Alfred Townsend once attempted a graphic description of Southern Maryland, and the remembrance still lingers green in the hearts of the natives. Wliile we have thus been meditating upon the vicissitudes of human existence in general and nothing in particular, the train has been flying through woodland and Held. As we glide on, the landscape becomes very interesting. From my Window I count seven hills, two creeks, four negro huts, five rabbits, one snipe, one farm house, six buzzards and three signboards. Upon the first signboard is the following legend inscribed: And he took him unto an high place and said unto him: 'iff thou canst do all things, I command thee to change these stones into bread. And he answered and said, No, thanks, but I will change them into VVilliams' Pink Pills for Pale People, if you wish. ' The second read thus: Wfhen I can read my title clear, To mansions in the sky, I'll bid farewell to every fear, And drink old Roxbury Rye. 17o f l 1 2 l ,i f X. ab ll rr i sf 'l l llo yr- L ll l Q .....,, - -...,aW-.. f-ff-f-f-fa--.

Bowie, next stop! Change cars for Pope's Creek Line! yells in a fog-horn voice, a little brakeman with a big cap and Roman nose. Aroused from our con- templation of the beauties of nature, we collect ourself and alight. The most conspicuous feature of Bowie, and the one that invariably attracts and holds the attention of travelers, is in the great number of shields or probably coats-of- arms suspended along the fronts of the houses. Let me read you a few: Tivola Qnever heard of itj g Rochester Qsaw the name once in a geographyj g Bartholomay Qsounds familiarj 3 Annheuser Busch Qpleasant recollectionsj ig Schlitz, the beer that made Milwaukee famous. Ah! here is the key to the riddle.- We feel an almost uncontrollable desire to perambulate across, but remembering the well- known and time-honored adage: There will be no baseball game today, we choke down our thirst and decide to forego the pleasure of a high ball. Although we feel that we cannot indulge, at least there is no harm in looking at the signs. If we do not see doubly and can count correctly, there are just 67 of these insignias. This is surely an era of prosperity in our history. Long may it continue, may the beer signs multiply an hundredfold and our money never run out. That star-spangled banner Qf freedom, so dear, O long may it wave, VVhile we empty down beer. But here is our train. All aboard! and we are off. WVe chanced to sit beside a gray-haired old gentleman of benevolent appearance, and were soon engaged in an animated conversation with him. He seemed to be well informed, and we discussed several of the questions of the day: i. e., Did Vlfasliington cross the Delaware in a rowboat or a mud scow? Should John Brown have been hanged or electrocuted? VVhich is the better to keep cider from getting too hard, peppermint or sassafras? Hello ,! Here we are at Upper Marlboro. On one side can be seen a frog pond 3 on the other a weather-boarded station and express office, behind which stands a mule hitched to a dogcart. We are told by the old gentleman that the town is just across the hill, and, of course, have no cause to doubt him. We are not ordinarily easy, but where it is none of our business, we are not in the habit of calling a man a liar on a supposition. E After leaving Upper Marlboro our companion, who seemed to be something of a philosopher, broke upon a new theme. My young friend, said he, do you ' I7I - I I realize to what an extent temperance controls the affairs of a people? Ever since the morning stars sang together throughout God's infinite universe, this great truth has been demonstrated to the mind of man. The celebrated Julius Caesar in his famous commentaries calls attention to the fact that temperance is always a virtue-not only in matters pertaining to the flowing bowl, but also in otherthings. Caesar practiced what he preached, and history notes that even in his massacres he was moderate. In Gaul, for instance, when his army defeated the forces of Ariovistorix IH, most Roman generals, had they been in his place, would have slaughtered every savage in the vanquished army. But Caesar, with more fore- thought, spared QQ out of the 307,000, and thus only 306,901 were killed. What was the result? The QQ took to the woods as soon as they were released and spread the tidings of the massacre to every part of the then known world, amply- fying the story as they ran. In consequence, Caesarls fame increased a thousand- fold, and in later years he was enabled to defeat armies triple the size of his own by the mere force of his reputation. Had hekilled every one, there would have been none left to tell the tale or to exaggerate it. The stories of his soldiers would have been set down as fakes, his own official report questioned and himself sum- moned to appear before a court of inquiry. As it was, by exercising a little temperance he made a big winf, We did not remember that passage in Caesar, probably because we had never read more than the first book, so giving the old gen- tleman the benefit of the doubt, we warmly endorsed his opinion. The conversation drifted upon other topics and incidentally he informed us that he once had aspired to the House of Delegates, but both parties had refused to support him merely because he had once served a three-year sentence in Iessup's for taking a mule not his own. Marylandknows not what she has lightly placed aside. i We do not doubt this gentleman could have written a speech upon negrodisfranchisement that would curl the hair, and have delivered it in a manner calculated to freeze the marrow, had he been given the opportunity. But Full many a gem of purest ray serene, The dark unfathomed caves of ocean bear, Full many a flower is born to blush unseen, And waste its sweetness on the desert airf' ' At Brandywine we bid our friend good-bye and leave him to pursue the even tenor of his way, while we change for the Baltimore and Potomacsor Southern Maryland Railroad. A ' Across the road still flourishes th l'ttl B . e 1 e owery, with an Appian way leading thereto. Thither we wend our weary way for a glass of buttermilk, the better to fortif our l ' ' ' ' y se ves against the coming trial. It will be well here to give I72 a short description of this Southern Maryland Hdinkeyi' which is soon to transport us at lightning speed across the face of the globe. The road extends from Brandywine south to Mechanicsville, a distance of twenty miles. Two trains, one down and one up, are run per day, except during the three summer months, when traffic becomes so heavy that an early train up and a late', train down are added. All trains are necessarily pulled by the same engine, as it is the only one owned by the company. The entire management of the corporation is vested in one man. He is conductor, baggage master, mail mes- senger, general passenger agent, general ticket agent, general freight agent and general manager. In the words of the immortal Daniel Vlfebster, HHe is the only pebble on the beach. In his duties as baggage master and mail messenger he is assisted by a red-headed brakeman, neatly uniformed in blue jean and a slouch hat. T After a half hour's delay, caused by the loading of one trunk, twenty-five cases of beer and three barrels of whiskey, the brakeman waves his hand and the train, consisting of one freight ,car and a combination smoker, passenger, baggage and mail car, starts out. Everything moves along smoothly for a while, when suddenly there is a halt. Upon looking out the window we see the engineer in front of his engine throwing stones at a red and white spotted cow which has a manifest disposition to graze upon the track. At length we get by the cow in safety and proceed upon our way. Gallant Green! hAh, here we are in old Charles county, God bless her! that land flowing with milk, honey and Muddy, Several other stops are made at intervals of half a mile, presumably at stations, but we fail to perceive them. At Hughesville, for the Hrst time since we left Brandywine, we see a white native. Here is the only and necessarily the largest department store in Southern Maryland. VVe have not written this little epic in a spirit of criticism, but cannot refrain here from stating that Rohrersville has four such establishments, and we do not call them department stores, much less boast that they are the largest in Vlfestern Maryland. But we have neglected to mention the scenery. Suffice to say, it is the same picturesque, undulating, suc- cession of pine woods and swamps that we observed in Prince George county, only on a less grand scale. About a mile beyond Hughesville there is another halt. What in the world is the matter? Upon investigation we find the Hreman chasing from the track the same red and white spotted cow we were compelled to stop for, three hours ago, ten miles back. Finally we are again moving. Charlotte Hall! Ah! Sweet Auburnf' loveliest village of the plain. How dear to my heart are these familiar scenes. Upon yon spacious campus rises our beloved Alma Mater, Qld Charlotte Hall Academy, within whose classic halls for two years our young idea was taught how to shoot-and that bright young idea is still shooting T73 a I , Qthe chutesj, as our Math. and German Professors will bear witness. VV e cannot forbear recalling a remfiniscence of our school days. This was the attempt of myself and a fellow student to inaugurate the shirt taill' parade at Charlotte Hall. It was upon a beautiful night in the month of May that we sauntered forth, clad in our robes-de-mzit. The full moon was sailing proudly through the heavens, the gentle zephyrs softly whispered in the treetops, and the frogs were kicking up an unearthly racket in the swamp below. We flunked -and great was the Hunk thereof. For upon trying to evade a group of young ladies, we ran into the waiting arms of two professors, taking a quiet evening siesta beside the Fountains of Healing VVater.', So the tale endeth, except that the faculty, in solemn conclave, saw ht to impose fifteen demerits and three thousand words upon us. Why couldn't they have followed the precept of their illustrious superior, St. Iohnis, and soaked us for seventyfive demerits do-wn, without any unnecessary encumbrance? The next station south of Charlotte Hall is New Market. During my sojourn at the Academy, ' ' How well do I remember V 'Twas in the bleak Decemberf' There was a period of live hours one morning when not a drop of whiskey was to be had in New Market. Everybody held his breath and awaited the Mil- lennium. About half-past twelve the train, with five barrels of the joyful, came in sight, the houses settled back on their foundations and business was resumed. V The night shall be filled with music, And the sounds that infest the day, Shall fold their tents like the Arabs, And as silently steal away. Dear reader, can you imagine the appalling possibility, had a snowstorm blown up the' previous night and delayed the train for a week. . Mechanicsville, the terminus of the line, is reached without any mishaps. From thence we take the stage to Leonardtown. The stage is a dilapidated two- seated conveyance, drawn by an excuse for a horse. One seat is occupied 'by baggage, merchandise, Sze., and you share the other with the driver. If there is more than one passenger, they have to take turns walking and riding. All Southern Maryland scenery looks alike to me, but the soil of St. Mary's county appears especially adapted to raising tobacco and niggers. Fifteen stops for re- freshments are made by the driver before we arrive at Leonardtown. At one of i 174 these stops I was asked to settle a dispute between two antediluvian relics, sitting on the fence. Une- asserted that Aristotle was a Roman gladiator, who could lick blazes out of anything on wheels. The other said he was a Dutchman who invented sauer kraut. We informed them that Aristotle was a Greek general who captured Troy, and then continued our journey. After a tiresome ride Leonard- town is reached. As we drive through the town the thought enters our mind, how Leonard Calvert' can possibly lie quiet in his grave. Supper is served at the so-called hotel, and a very good supper at that. While lounging around after supper we are approached bya melancholy native who suggests a little game of poker. Having a little surplus cash in our clothes, we readily agree. The game was not opened until there were thirty cents in the pot, and we won on three jacks. He won the next on two pairs and the third on a straight. The fourth came' his way on a dead bluff, he having only queen high. There were fifty cents in the next pot when he announced that he had openers, and drew three cards. Luck was with us, and we held a straight. There was betting until three dollars lay on the table. My money, said he. You see, I have two pairs. But a straight beats two pairs. Who says so. Hoyle does. My boy,' said he, this is a world of changes. When we sat down to the game a straight beat two pairs, but ,now it is the other way. Deal again, and I will decide whether a full house should beat a royal flush. VVe retired from the game a sadder but a wiser man. So endeth' our journey as well as our story. The next morning we left by the Wash- ington boat. Dear reader, unless you are tired of life, or wish to get away from your mother-in-law, let me prevail on you to stay away from Southern Mary- land. Probably you may wish to contribute some interesting facts to natural history, or to substantiate Darwin's Theory of Evolution. Qnly under such con- ditions wouldithe exploration of Southern Maryland be justified. There are, doubtless, some who are so stiff-necked that they will not give ear to my words or be governed by my counsel. For such there is no remedy but the experiment itself. Some persons have to sit down on the hornet before they can fully appreciate the true nature of the animal. . ' A-sk ,lit N0 lisa? 175 I n Advertisements J' FOUND-A promising bass-drummer. . .

Book Review Q, HELEMENTS OE LGGICY' One of the most interesting pieces of light literature or notion that has come into our hands for some time is Elements of Logic, published by Butler, Sheldon Sz Company. Throughout, this work abounds in the most sparkling wit. It is quite hard to contain oneself as the author proves his absurdities for us. We shall give two of these syllogisms, as the author calls them. We never heard the term before, but are sure that the street boys will adopt it and will begin to shout, Syllogism yourself. Nothing is better than wisdom. Bread is better than nothing. . Ergo. Bread isbetter than wisdomf, Or, No cat has two tails. Every cat has one more tail than no cat. Ergo. Every cat has three tails.

Its extreme simplicity Will, no doubt, appeal to all of the readers. And let us say here that no verses can be surer of posterity than those which are preserved in the nursery. ' The diction of this work should recommend itself to careful mothers and teachers for the child's first reading, for seldom do words of more than fifteen syllables occur. We predict a great success for this book in this line also. 179 Iebb's Selections from Attic Orations Published by Macmillan, deserves special notice on account of the peculiar character of its humor. This is the one feature which distinguishes it from the great mass of Htrashyn literature now published. It is generally accepted that humor should have some tendency to provoke readers to mirth. But old Lysias was a sly and greedy old duck, and his humor is of such a nature that it provokes the readers to a perfect frenzy, while affording them the best sort of fun imaginable. Methinks I can see old Lysias choking with laughter as he delivers his harangues to that gossiping crowd of Athenians, while he thinks of the difficulties he is making for the future students of St. john's. Those old Greeks were a .far-sighted and a vindicative sort of people, anyway. Apart from this feature there is nothing in the work to command respect.

Published by American Book Company. Price 31. 50. versity. Published by American Book Company. Price 31.50. This book is one of the greatest works ever written on the subject of Grecian Mythology. It begins with a description of the fall of Alpha, the God of Beauty, from the regions of Beta, the God of Highlands, and tells how Qmega, the Goddess of the Whirlwinds, caught Alpha in her currents and wafted him away to the land of Iota, the goddess of a very indefinite region called Momentum. Wliile in this region Alpha falls in lo-ve with Theta, the Goddess of Attraction, and nearly meets his fate at the hands of Delta, her lover, the God of War and Power. But the struggle is suddenly brought to an end by the appearance of Ro, the great God of Pressure and Hurricanes, who hurls the forces of Delta into the ethereal regions, where they are consumed by the fires of Sigma, the God of Light and Heat. Ro then destroys the region of whirlwinds, Qmega's kingdom, and releases Alpha, who, with his dear Theta by his side, at the head of the forces of Ro, returns to the kingdom of Beta, and by force of arms restores himself to power, and now reigns supreme with his beloved Theta. Lambda, an offspring of Theta, is next in succession. Thus the work gives us a fair idea of the ancient ways of the gods, and is highly interesting throughout. The plot is well worked out and should be read by every scholar.

A man may begin life by passing across the bar the worst concoctions ever produced, and yet, after having made a fortune in the wholesale liquor business, become one of the greatest exponents of tem- perance that ever graced a platform. But when he becomes so void of discretion as to purpose in his mind that he will undertake the study of Dutch, the Dar- winian Theory of Evolution, i. e., that man is descended from a monkey, or more probably from an ass, is certainly proven. He may already have plucked from the lower branches of the tree of knowledge a few plums such as Greek, Logic and Calculus, but he should have noticed that Dutch is of the fruits that grow only upon the topmost branches, and it takes more than a brickbat to bring it down. Blinded by the knowledge of what he has done, he asserts, Verily will I roll up my sleeves and jump upon 'Dutchi with both feet, and of a truth when I am through, it will look like the traditional dollar from which 70 cents has been extracted. For a time, my son, this benighted individual may stumble along the stony path, and may even knock 4.50 and 5.oo by the timely assistance of some careful 'fponying' in his book. But there comes a time of reckoning. He goeth into examination with a happy heart and a step as light as if he were rushing the growler, but when he cometh out, his countenance hath a careworn and vacant expression, and his general appearance is like unto that of a rotten pumpkin upon which a ton of brick has accidentally been dropped. It is not neces- sary to inquire if he has flunked. Leave him alone to the tender mercies of an accusing conscience. H A Truly the way of the HDutch student is hard and full of trouble. When you are reading that 'fsublimen creation Die VVacht am Rhein,', does it picture to you the beautiful blue Rhine, with its patriotic associations, dear to the heart of every true son of the Fatherland? Not much. It sounds very nice when played by the little 'German band, but for heaven's sake cut it outl' in classroom. When Mr. Wni. Tell shoots the apple from his son's head are you trembling for fear he will miss it? Decidedly no. You don't care whether he hits the apple or smashes the boy in the solar plexus. As you are perambulating slowly and p-ainfully over Luther's Ein, feste Burg ist unser Gottf' does it recall the time when you, an in- nocent little boy, attended Sunday-school and mingled your childish voice in the familiar hymns? Nit. You are swearing inwardly and committing Martin Luther and every other Dutchman to an extremely warm climate.

But if we wish to consider the work from an economical standpoint it would be appropriate to mention that the value in the book is 31.12. The diction is rotten, the subject-matter is Robin Hoodiiied. The meaning of C A every paragraph is supposed to be forthcoming in the next mail. Somebody told us that the author says in this book that the only thing necessary to become a law- ig. yer is persuasive power. But we can prove by logic that it is necessary to be a liar. x f This book is intended to drive students to suicide and to jail. In one place ik 13 A the author tries to fool people by saying, There are two main kinds or argumventa- tion, that which is written and that which is not spoken, or in other words, that Q which is not any good and that which is no good. The latter is now practiced in modern courts. The author skillfully avoids mention of the power of money in tg' courts, and in all convictions. . The book has no purpose. The object for writing the book is the eighth li wonder of creation. The book suits hard-worked students for three reasons : 1 First, it offers one hour of rest per week. Second, the instructor canlt require a pupil to answer his queries according 3 A . to the text book Qunless he is 14.011 compos mentiaj 5 Third, it elaborates upon the different kinds of confusion, contradiction, met- amorphism and general climatic conditions of balled-upi' briefs. About half way between the lids of the book theauthor tells why one man 1 doubts another man's word. We doubt his reason, for a syllogism which contains A as a premise the conclusion of another syllogism, is called an episyllogism. He also says the evidence of a bowlegged man who drinks common whiskey should not and cannot be relied upon. V The plan of the whole book is a fake, and we recommend it as an admirable bunch of nothingness. Generally speaking, and also thinking, the book is surely 'l it on the bumf' Q25 Q25 Whitney's French Grammar A model tongue-twister.

A For some years we have been carefully collecting from the most remote regions these specimens, and we at present have such a collection as would make the dullest zoologist open his eyes in wonder and envy. Owing to some negligence on the part of Sub-Director Soho, one of our most prized animals, the monkey Cfiontainej, escaped last year, but we have as a partial compensation a kind of baboon, which, in honor of our beloved escaped monkey, we call Monkey Facev Qfieysj. In the year ?96, while fishing on the Chester river, our efficient Director Fell caught an excellent specimen of Ranae. He brought the frog QTarbuttonj here, and we are now greatly indebted to the Director for this animal, which has grown to be quite a large specimen. VV e keep the frog on the third floor of Pinkney Hall, where his croaking is a great amusement to the boys. The Major often takes him to the armory for the pleasure of Company A. The rarest specimen we have is, perhaps, the dwarf Reed, discovered in South Africa by Stanley. This cute fellow is of a race known as Pigmies. The little fellow, we fear, is not satisfied in this distant clime. When persons are near he is very quiet, but when left to himself he participates in all manner of yelling and hideous noises, which causes the monkey-face baboon, whose cage is 'next to the dwarfis, to become very melancholy. We have had several local zoologists CPokey Daniels and Bob Wliitej to' examine these characteristics, and the opinion seems to be that the restless disposition of the fellow is due to the fact of his separation from his natives. . Three years ago the animals received another very precious addition to their ranks. This specimen was brought from Calvert County by Sub-Collector Hutch- ins, who says the natives of that barbarous county called the thing a ffwhife rat Uonesj. Sly Reynard always slips in where there are fowls to eat, and so we have had our zoo much enhanced by the appearance of a. fine specimen of fox. He is a full-grown red animal of a very sly nature, and is noted for beino' . H H g very quick to catch on. He was brought from Baltimore County last year. What has attracted the Fox to our clime seems to be the large variety of birds we have. I shall give a brief description of the most prized ones in the following paragraphs, which shall include the Jay Bird, Woodcoclc and the Crane: I 198 f 4 3 A. 4 i a l I l 1 l l . l 1 1 l l k ie if . 5 .6 I T he ay Bird we have so named from his resemblance to our American birds which are called by that title? This bird was discovered in the wilds of a very remote and uncivilized part of American territory Anne Arundel Countv. A party from St. john s camped in that section last year. In the course of one of our hunts we by misfortune came to know the only inhabitant of that land whom we named Wfhiskers from his shaggy beard. The old hunter had the bird as 1 The next bird of importance is the Woodcoclz. You mayi say you consider the VVoodcock as a very ordinary bird but the one we have is far superior in quality to any vet known to mankind. It may be owing to his qualities that we prize him most yet with every look at the bird my mind reverts to thrilling times not all pleasant, that I spent with the party who secured the fowl. It was in the year 1900 that a party, under the direction of several brave guides, among whom we are proud to include the wild man, VVhiskers, from Anne Arundel regions, set out to make some settlements, and, if possible colonize the land and subdue the barbarous and uncivilized race in a territory known as the Wicoinico wilds. WI h1le there we came upon a camp of natives, who called the place Salisbury, an Indian name for nowhere. These people showed a friendly spirit and we were soon attending one of their war dances, of the most weird and fantastic nature. After the dance the chief took me to his wigwam and showed me his pet bird, which as a friendly token he gave me. We were safely escorted from camp next day, and soon after succeeded in subduinff the people, and, after placing a colony, xx e left for Annapolis. This istthe history of our Wooclcock. ' The Crane is the last and oldest fowl we have. VV hen I say oldest, I mean not as to life, but old in our service. This bird we prize for its dramatic perform- ances and also for its beautiful plumage. 'Wl1611 we called it a Crane, we did not do so from the fact that it resembles that species of birds in the least, for, on the contrary, it possesses not a characteristic .of the Crane, its neck being very ll l I 2 C J ffl I 7 ' i A I ' C ,3 pet, but we induced him to sell it to us, which he very reluctantl f consented to do .Q 7 ' ri ' rf ' I 7 J 1 1 I J 0 f b 7 1 I I T I l 1 . lr gl JL short and legs not at all out of proportion with the rest of its body. But we called the bird a Crane because of the tradition which is told of his past-that he was taken under the wing of a Crane when young, and, like Romulus and Remus, was nursed until he was able to take care of himself-at least, he thought so. But, alas! sad fact, he was one day caught in the meshes of a net set by Director Fell, of the zoo, in the regions of St. lVIary's County. In addition to our collection of animals and birds, we have started to collect rare plants. At present we have only one-the Wliite Lily. T99 September October .

Eat breakfast at 5 A. M. Eat all you can hold, avoiding con- versation and newspaper editorials. Pick a scrap with some neighbor who can thrash you. Take a salt bath 3 rub down with sandpaper. Eat from 9 until IO o'clock, topping off with at least ten schooners of beer. Chase your neighbor's chickens from flower beds until II o'clock. Quarrel with your mother-in-law, sweat and cuss until' I2 o'clock. Fat any old thing, washed down with plenty of beer, until I o'clock. Read Ames' Theory of Physicsi' and the Police Gazettef' drink half a keg of beer, and go to sleep. Get up about 4 o'clock, fall do-wn stairs. Eat pork, Bologna sausage, Boston baked beans, and drink beer for two hours. VValk the twins up and down the floor for three hours. Eat plenty of griddle cakes and dried apples, with water. To secure best results retire immediately, continually nursing a siphon connection with your beer keg. I have found the above method very benencial. Conceit is the distinguished characteristic of poodle dogs and young preachers, so if you would avoid it stay out of their company. Fathers of twins and police officers are prone to become conceited, and even senior classes at colleges are oft- times victims of swelled heads. Be cautious not to flatter old maids and yellow negroes. The truly wise man is modest as a bandmaster, and the braggart and coxcomb are no better than chicken thieves. Potatoes. The best way to prepare potatoes for the table is a la Dustin. The potatoes should be partly peeled, great care being taken to leave three symmetrical patches of skin on each potato. Boil in muddy water, available in any quantity 215 and at all times from the Annapolis water system. The usual dark blue effect can be produced by the addition of a dilute solution of indelible ink or iodine. Iodine is the best, however, as it is very soothing to any internal complications arising from Hash a la jack, etc., for which the recipes will be given in the next issue. Allow the water to boil until the potatoes are cooked to the depth of I-I6 inch from the surface. Take them out by means of a fork used to turn roast beef, stir fire, etc. Serve in dishes in which a trace of former hash is still visible. It is only after partaking of this delicacy that the true qualities of the potato as an article of food are appreciated. ' Social Calls. There is no prescribed time for making social calls. Any time of day or night that you have nothing else to do is proper., The call is entirely for the benefit of your host or hostess, and you have a perfect right to suit your own convenience as to the time of calling. If the maid tells you her mistress is not at home, call her a liar and go in and find out for yourself. Never let anyone, especially servants, trifle with your dig- nity. If the people upon whom you call are onthe point of going out, offer to accompany them, and incidentally mention that a few liquid refreshments would be very agreeable before starting. The average length of a social call is live hours, so that you can make at least two per day. Remove your overshoes, putting them in your overcoat pocket, and take overcoat, hat and cane with you to the parlor. Somebody might swipe them ifleft in the hall. Use the good old Methodist hand- shake on everybody present. Sit down in the most comfortable chair in the room, but do not put your feet on the piano or organ. If there is nothing doing, you can profitably pass away time by taking a short nap, but be careful not to snore so loud as to wake the pug dog. Wlien you rise to go if your hostess says, So soon ? sit down for another hour. However, when you do go, if there is an umbrella in the hall always take it along! The entire theory of economics is based upon the principle of laying up for a rainy day. M il 216 l 1. 4 l Q l af ,lx ss, h V. , ., ... ,mfg--.--,V - 1--.1 -.3 . . .. . -- , -- ' .

Niggers in general shall be allowed to hold clog dances, cakewalks, etc., in the chapel without restriction, and the use of the College dining rooms for refreshments can easily be obtained upon demand. Passed this tenth dayof March, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and two. Unchangeable as the laws of the Medes and Persians these regulations shall stand. By the Most Honorable Faculty of St. john,s College, Formerly King 'vVilliam's School, ' Annapolis, Md. A I Another order, forbidding us the use of the gymnasium on Saturday nights for our fashionable stag dances, has been lampooned by a fourth-floor Hstaggeri' . ORDER. Owing to the fact that the fourth floor is the hotbed of revolution, and that on the aforesaid Hoor all plots for the extermination of all species known as the Faculty are formed, and as it is known that all these plots are made ,after Io.3o P. M, it is necessary that the floor be placed under martial law. Therefore, after March II, 1902, our faithful henchman, K'Pokey, and our faithful Officer of the Day, together with one Annapolis policeman, shall parade the corridor and see that no meetings are held there. A - - C C 1 - And owing to the aforesaid fact, that the 'stagsi have been accustomed to meet in the 'gym.' on Saturday nights, which 'gym.' is the property of the 'hensi on this night, be it 01'de1'ed that our aforementioned henchman, Pokey, be detached to drive the 'stags' out-if he is able. Or if he is unable to drive them out, to let them stay and drive out the 'hens' If unable to do this, he had better clear out himself. By order of that renowned body called ' A - up I D THE FACULTY. - Another provision of the order, concerning the restrictions placed upon the baseball team's hours for practice, was satirized by a baseball player as follows: ' ORDER. A Owing to the fact that the 'GOLF TEAM' will take a trip to Europe to play the Big Four teams and will try for the championshi of the United States the . ,v p , athletic field will be devoted solely to the practice of 'GOLF.' And whereas the Baseball team does not have any games with any other college teams, they will not practice hereafter, for it might interfere with 'GOLF' ' . 218 Q w ...Q ,,. ..-----.i1 Ta.-...L,.,,-.ai Anyone seeing the Short Line train on the track below the campus will kindly notify the Faculty or P. Daniels, the joker, for the train might draw the attention of the GoLFERs from their practice. No one but niggers and policemen will be allowed on the campus. Others might interfere with the GoLFERs. And whereas there will likely be a match game between our team and Yale in the near future, students will kindly go up in McDowell tower if they want to watch the practice. Anyone wishing to play Baseball will be allowed to play after dark-unless the KGOLFERSJ are out. The bathroom is hereby reserved for the KGOLFERSJ only.

In the center of the table are a number of round, curious-looking discs of three colors, and in front of each youth are more of the round things, but, strange to tell, there are more in front of some than of others. In fact, one of the ambitious young' men has scarcely any, and there is an' unhappy, desperate expression onhis countenanceas he calmly says a fewi moments later that he will have to shy this pot. Among the rest fortune has strayed unceremoniously from one to the other, and occasion- ally one thinksthat he has darned tough luck when he sees to his sorrow a king full is not as good as four Sevens.

NIEIN LIEBER 'VILLUMZ , I haf yust heard id some veeks ago dot you vas py der schoolhouse in, making knowledge chump ub und bite you unterneath your forehead. Such is a goot idea to be so.
