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.
