Washington's Birthday Oration FRANK LOUGHRAN CUNNINGHAM The truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth- except a few teeney weeney white lies. Ladies and Gentlemen and so forth down to Senior-P-radeless Seniors, good morning! I beg to call your attention to the fact that this is not an oration, it is an invective. It is an educational invective. I observe that Family is present-the object of this invective is to put Family wise. The good we do here at college lives after us, goes home with us, and Mother and Father and all the dear Brothers and Sisters hear about us, but our little fads and foibles are in- terred in the books of the Discipline Committee and our risque posters and art nouveau bric-a-brac are dedicated to Sport Moore. And so when students have come to me and said, See here, please donit tell this and that story on me 5 I am going to have a girl down, I have simply replied, I am glad. It is better she should know at once. And this brings us to Laurie Dowd, who as we all ought to know by now is I-Iugh Chaplin's roommate. You'd never believe it of Laurie with that cherubic countenance of his, but it's true! On the way down from New York the other evening Laurie gave an excellent object lesson on How to Enlarge One's Acquaintance without Introduction. There was a very nice looking girl traveling alone. Laurie walked straight down the aisle, put a freshman out of the seat next her and sat down himself. Then he went through the regular formula, I-Iaven't I met you before somewhere? Your face seems so familiar, etc. When the train reached Princeton Junction Laurie was shedding a few real tears and hoping that if she ever came to Princeton she would let him know, so that he could meet her 5

The N assau H erald at the station, show her the campus, tell her which was really Whig and which was really Clio, and give her a ticket for the 'Gym. Meet. Now what do you think of that? Bill Leeper Went to Trenton one evening-he really did- and in that town ran across Doc Boice, Kid Fox, Doc Huddleson, Dutch,' Knauer, and several others holding an '09 reunion. 'fDoc invited everyone to step up and have a little something. Some of the students took beer, some Scotch. At last it came to Bill. Well, Bill, What's it to be PM Ale Ale PM Yes, ale. But what kind PU Ginger Ralph Gamble had heard the old saying, Love me, love my dog. On October 19th he decided that it was about time he had begun to love the dog. So he Wrote to her and said, Dear Miss So-and-so, will you loan me your dog. I Want to learn to love it dearly. Miss So-and-so wrote back, Dear Mr. Gamble, I am sending you Brindle Beauty on the 6.15 train. Take good care of him and don? let him get his feet Wet. So Brindle Beauty arrived. Ralph tried to pretend to the student world that it was his dog. But of course no one believed him. It was a good dog and must have cost at least 3 5 cents. He took it to his room and the smoke almost killed it. He took it to Senior lectures and bored it to death, and then When he took it to his club he was forced to feed it in the cellar and the only food he could think of suitable for a dog Was Shredded Wheat Biscuit. Ralph was burnt IO cents for these. He soon decided that love was entirely too expensive a passion, so one morning bright and early back goes Brindle Beauty to Miss So-and-so. But Ralph was clever. He had taught that dog tricks! So that now when Miss So-and-so looks out the Window at the stars over the clustering roofs of Port Deposit and wonders if Tommy What's-his-name is going to take her to the next prom., 6
