Athletics Up-to-date now has the skimming reader reached the page that none but the athletic enthusiast ever reads, but this year such a bad precedent must be departed from ; therefore, reader, pause and listen while I record the deeds of the mighty men of brawn at the University ' of Maryland. When it becomes necessary, in the course of human events, for a university to enter athletics, it should forthwith hump itself, wake up, get a wiggle on and start the ball (base or foot) a-roUing. It was even so with the University of Maryland, and the result thereof has been such as has not happened since the time whereof the memory of man runneth not to the contrary. x few short years ago, brethren, we were an unknown quantity in the land, consisting of a motlej ' assembly of aspirants in the departments of human misery, to wit: Bones, Molars and Briefs. Yale, Harvard, Cornell and Princeton were wont to make diligent inquiry into the proof of our existence as a university when perchance an individual announced himself as a graduate or a student of the University of Maryland. In those youthful days the police arrested us early in the eve ning, we stood not even ace high in the dawning appreciation of the gentler sex, and the press, with the freedom that is its privilege, freely omitted to mention us, because if not a college corporation without a soul, yet students whose brawn was undisciplined. All of these, my read- ing friend, have now turned from the error of their ways and would fain admit that they now .see better daj s and better ways for which they accord higher praise. It is difficult to realize, as we now stand upon the Olympian heights of muscular achievement, and gaze far below into the vales and hillsides, up whose steeps the Inter-collegiate As.sociation is now laboriously climbing, that we were once as they, unknown, unhonored and unsung, but not unwept, for tears dim my eyes and my hand trembles with emotion and my voice fails me, when I regard the troubles we have left behind for others. 26
