CADH.MIC Day which was celebrated November 12th, I ' Ui, marked the one hundred and twenty-third anniversary of the founding of St. John ' s College at Annapolis, Md. The depart- ment of Arts and Sciences of the University of Maryland, and the one hundred and sixth anniversary of the Department of Medicine of the University of Maryland at Baltimore. The formal exercises were conducted in Westminster I ' l ' esljyterian Church, southeast corner of Fayette and Greene streets, beginning a 10.30 A. M. The procession formed in front of the antique and time- honored University buildings on Lombard and Greene streets, where the student bodies of the ditTerent departments exchanged their college yells.

' e were glad to have present with us a number of voung ladies from the Departments of Dentistry and I ' lianiiacy.

Father Time, b v one mighty stroke with his rusty scythe, has taken from the future and given to tile past, and with the recording of tlie events of another ear we cannot fail to take cognizance of the fact that thousands of newly-prepared men and women are introduced to the world of affairs and events. These thousands shall find it their duty to fall into line with the thousands of erstwhile students who have gone before to tread the well-beaten paths to success or failure. Some there are w ho will attain great heights, who will achieve great things, who, when dying, will leave behind them footprints to be reminders to all. Some will fail and prob- al)ly fall into other than their chosen vocations, and, still others, the great majority, will fall into that happy medium of society, association and accomplishments, which, though not ensconced by their attainments, make up that vast, surging throng of humanity, that great army of sturdy, unalterable human beings, collectively known as the common people. It is not mete that all should attain the greatest heights, or that all should reign supreme, or that all should pose as master minds, for then none could be lead, none could benefit by an ideal. Neither is it designed that all should fail, else this world would soon be a bedlum, and if all should fall into the middle class, the class of the well-satisfied, life would lose its lure, competition its adventure and wisdom its justice. Those who are now to becmne acc|uainted with the world ai ' c not unlike their predeces- sors, their aims, their ambitions, their instincts, their hopes, their desires. In no manner are they different from their Ijrothers and sisters who have Ijecn introduced to the world for these many years. With the graduation of a class from an ' institution it is customary to pulilish a book similar to the one you now read, ami it is onl - right that each class as it leaves its Alma Mater, shall sing her praises and glory in her achievements. No class, no man has ever been graduated from any institution of learning without having had instilled into him the principles and precepts of that institution. No class, no man has ever recei ' ed a diploma from a universitv without having imbibed to a very great extent the nectar of her teaching. U|)on scanning the pages of history we see that the principles which have been taught to us are Init the principles of the ancients, and in reviewing the history of the L ' niversity of Maryland we learn and a])preciate with a keen sense of gratitude the direct lineage to the ancients. For, though centuries have come and gone, though men have succeeded and men have failed, though universities ha -e arisen and universities have fallen, it is the history of these centuries, it is the lives of these men and it is the teachings of those uni- versities that have proft ' ered the ideas, have afforded the foundation about w-hich and upon which a modern university has been constructed. And once constructed even though it be upon the firmest foundation, a university with her history and attain- 17
