These are as milestones in the progress of the class, and I feign would look upon them to see how far we 'have traveled. Take stock of our achievements, inventory our possibilities, and thus forecast the future. In the fall of 1909, as if answe1'ing to the call of destiny, there assembled in Baltimore a class of men strong in desire for knowledge in the Science of Medicine. But little did they know the lesson in store for them, the first lesson. You are Freshmen, a very difficult lesson, but with the able teaching of our Seniors, not only the Sophomores, but juniors and Seniors, aided by the House Staff and worthy Faculty, the lesson was soon learned, never to be forgotten, not for a moment. XVith our Josition clearl f defined we began to reconcile ourselves to our fate. 3 c But, alas, this was not all, we were greeted with, Freshmen out, throw them out,'l until the thing became obnoxious, then like a cornered rat, we prepared to ii gh t. A class meeting was called, and an organization effected, with the following officers: President, F. F. Floyd, Vice-President, john Doyle, Secretary, I. G. Q'Brien, Treasurer, J. Edward Day, Historian, XV. S. Brady, Sergeant-at-Arms, TV. L. Brown. 28

W'ith the organization effected, we measured brawn, and told of how we could iight, until as if coated with war paint, we planned an attack upon the mighty Sophs, XVe found them in Room 26, here we engaged them in battle, and so surprised were they at our lark, that they were utterly routed and humil- iated. They came back at us the following morning, found us in the same room listening to Dr. Fort on the mysteries of Materia Medica. Like a band of warriors they came, but we were looking for just such a thing and, spurred on by our success of the day previous, we gave them battle royal. and when the smoke of 'battle had cleared away the Freshmen still held the fort. Not satisfied with the result thus far, the Sophs planned another attack, this time not on fair grounds. They purchased ZOO pounds of Hour, and had it put up in paper-bags and attacked us the following morning in Chemistry. Here they showered the defenseless with flour, followed by a steady stream of water from a fire-hose. As long as things were easy, they held the post,sbut soon retreated to the Lord-knows-where, as none of them could be found, and lucky for them, too. The Freshmen had planned to come again, but the Hag of truce was raised, and peace established, provided the Sophs would apologize to Dr. Simon. This they did and all was lovely until we had to meet the Profs. in mid-year exami- nations. Here, too, we proved that we were equal to the occasion, as shown by our returns. Next came the task of entering the dissecting room, there to destroy-the Temple of Man-the human body. As before we accomplished the task on hand, and learned many things about the human body which will be of use in our future studies in medicine. T Spring unon us, and accordin to custom, we were ex Jected to meet the l S l Sonhs in a ball frame' a tea-m was whined into line and the Game Jlaved. But 6 ! 6 1 we lost, and why not? The exception to the rule proves it, f'Freshmen victorious throughout the year. Next came the finals. and' as usual, we met them, hence, discarded the coat of green to don the robe of Sophomore. Feeling very jubilant, we departed to spend OU1' first vacation since the mighty task of learning medicine began. The fall of 1910 is here, and with it most of our illustrious members. :Tis seen that a few faces are missing, ibut in their places new ones are seen. Our first aim was the election of class officers and a meeting was called and the following officers were elected: President, E. D. Silver, Vice-President, V. O. Humphreys, Secretary, F. Mumford, Treasurer, Thomas. Tobin, Historian, joseph D. Fallon, Sergeant-at-Arms, S. Dixon. The question of dealing with the Freshmen was then taken up, and a com- mittee was oppointed to draw up a set of rules for them to obey, the result being the HTen Commandments to the Freshmen. These they promised to obey 29
