This many-sided youTh is The pride oT The Commerce class, iournalisTically speaking. Being a demon re- porTer wiTh one oT our larger New York dailies, he is To be regarded as an auThoriTy on anyThing connecTed wiTh The newspaper business. OT course, This employmenT was a mere sidelighT while he aTTended lvlanhaTTan buT iT goes To prove The capabiliTy he possesses. We could wriTe volumes on a characTer such as I-lank's. The haT he wore during his Tour-year sTay aT lv1anhaTTan was considered by many as The sTrangesT sighT They ever wiTnessed. There were also rumors consTanTly circulaTed To The eTTecT ThaT his eyes, like The owl's, opened only aT nighT. l-lank always Tried his besT To sTiTle These rumors buT we sTill had our doubTs. To be a good sTudenT and a good Tellow aT one and The same Time is con- sidered quiTe an accomplishment yeT l-Tank did all This and more. l-Tis cheery counTenance was an asseT To any gaThering and ThaT cerTain drollery he possessed gained him many Triends. We all expecT, some day, To see The name oT our Triend Trom Brooklyn adorning The ediTorial page oT some Tine newspaper. Henry J. Connors, EdiTor, would look very well ....

OW oTTen has iT been said ThaT greaT men had humble beginnings? IT There is TruTh in ThaT sTaTemenT, George is cerTainly Traveling The paThway To Tame. Coming Trom LeominsTer, Mass., one oT Those cracker-barrel Towns, Gawdge seTTled down amongsT The science men aT lvlanhaTTan. During his TirsT Two years he demonsTraTed how he could Take iT and aT The end oT each semesTer we Tound him carrying abouT a reporT card wiTh The word honor brazingly sTamped Thereon. Now ThaT we had lcnown him as The scholar we began To sTudy him as The man. ResulTs were indeed saTisTacTory. OT all his gualiTies we Tound Two which were ouTsTanding--Triendliness and good-hearTedness. Gawdge is an individual in whom all Traces oT conceiT are ToTally lacking and in Their sTead blossom TorTh sTrongly The seeds oT philanThropy. As he loolcs upon all his class- maTes wiTh The aTTiTude oT Triend so do we consider him, our Triend. And now comes our lasT monTh oT associaTion. As The day oT separaTion is iusT around The corner we hurry To say good luck, George, wiTh conTidence ThaT success in The medical world will soon be TorThcoming. 65

BOVE we have Joe Coughlin, The man who joined us in our Sophomore year aTTer having passed his iniTial sTudies aT SeTon Hall. The auThor oT This arTicle made The acquainTance oT a genTleman who was TorTunaTe enough To be presenT aT numerous social gaTherings wiTh Joseph J. Cough- lin. His revelaTions oT our good Triend Joe are asToundingl l can vouch Tor This genTlernan's veraciTy and The auThenTiciTy oT his inTormaTion. To relaTe all ThaT was Told me is impossible. I hope The high lighTs will suTTice. We learned +ha+ our good Triend Joe is The auThor oT ThaT Tamous DisserTaTion on SisTers, and is a sTaunch supporTer oT +ha+ popular indoor sporT called Bridge. While reading The TirsT paragraph The reader wenT Trom The ridiculous To The groTesque--now he goes Trom The groTesque To The sublime. We lcnow Joe expecTs To aTTend an ouT-oT-Town medical school. No maTTer where he goes he will noT only acquire a new hosT oT Triends, buT will remain TaiThTul To The old. A more well-liked and respecTed young man would be hard To Tind in The enTire college. l wish him all The luck +ha+ a pal could wish To anoTher. However, if his college record is indicaTive oT whaT he is going To do aT medical school, he scarcely needs our good wishes. I 67
