EDWARD W BERRY DURING the hours of three to five in the afternoon, the Carroll Mansion is a museum. But at other times, the destinies of one of the world's greatest universities are directed there. President Bowman and Secretary Macauley have sanctums in the mansion, while Provost Berry, Registrar Miss Davis, and Treasurer Baker hold forth in Remsen Hall. Dr Bowman was able to announce good tidings at the Com- memoration exercises on February 22. Former History professor Vincent had bequeathed his department a million dollars, and Alfred J Shriver presented the funds for an auditorium and administration building. A requirement of the bequest: was the demand that portraits of ten beautiful Baltimore society matrons and busts of Dr Bowman and Mr Shriver be included among the building's appointments. The condition was accepted by the Trustees. Funds were also secured for the erection of a much-needed Biology depart- ment building. FIRST ESTATE l wtit . 'kuqn' :' --. ,'E5f'yf,Q . , 3,,..,- .
