EDWARD JANNEY BRANNAN HIS picture, ladies and gentlemen, represents His Honor, the one, only, and original Mayor of South Baltimore; the individual who most of all, is responsible for the prosperity and beauty of that exclusive suburb of the great metropolis. Among his followers and subjects, he is known by the appellations “Multy”, “Oswy” or “Reds”, but these names serve only to emphasize the esteem in which he is held, it being the inalienable prerogative of the populace to nickname their great. Let not, ladies and gentlemen, his eminence as an executive over- shadow and obscure in your mind his prominence as the working member of the firm of O’Conor and Brannan, those leaders and authori- ties in the field of Organic Chem- istry. His position in the firm as working member has been the cause of the discovery of many new and unnamed gases, which it has been his unenvied delight to inhale and enjoy. His Honor has lately shown a tendency to spend his recreation hours motoring, and no one has been as yet able to ascertain if he has company on these nightly excursions, the speed which he at- tains rendering it impossible to distinguish forms as he passes, heading north. It has been rumored that he, with his partner in the chemical concern will sojourn in the North for the summer, there taking in the cooling breezes and being “taken in” himself, no doubt. If he does not succumb we may expect that in the fall, he will again, be a member of our community, ' pursuing his legal studies at the U. of M. preparatory to dimming, by comparison, the legal lights of this city. 25

PETER CORNELIUS COUGHLIN ATHER, do you think that proof is very clear, Father?” Thus does our doughty representative from Locust Point claim for the less brilliant philosophers in our midst a better understanding of a thesis, since we know from Peter’s bi-weekly marks that the difficulty is not his own. Next to philosophy the scene of Pete’s best endeavors is the chemistry laboratory where his unique tests for cobalt and nickel will always remain the awe of less expert manipulators. In biology too, the professor owns his skill, for even though his attempt to Burbankize into oysters a means of defense in the form of stingers has not met with complete success, he is able to report progress due to an intimate study of that unhappy shellfish’s natural enemy, asterias rubens. Though Pete is not forced to wrestle with the dictums of Aristotle, Aquinas and Augustine, we have heard that his title of Boy Wrestler is not an empty one. As guard on the basketball team, Pete made himself valuable at a time when he was sorely needed. At putting the shot he is no novice having won several medals and being the college’s only representative in this sport for a time. Pete un- doubtedly is one of the best tennis players the college has produced in the last two years, never losing a singles set and at one time turning in the only victory for his team. Pete is a very deter- mined person, as the fact that he is the only mem- ber of his section of second high to graduate will testify. We can safely predict in consideration of this determination of Peter’s that he will make a successful member in whatever walk of life he will enter. 27
