If it is the purpose to conduct a Keeley Cure for Alcoholics, ample [provision should he made fcir them. It is harrassing to the st udent to have to sit up at all hours of the night, when he could well devote that time to study, or even to great advantage in worshiping Mor])heus, and even of much greater eniharrassnient niusl it he to the Hospital authorities, and to the detriment of the institu- tion, to have other patients leave, hecause of the annoyance of an alcoholic maniac. A few of the Medical Ward Classes would he far more instructing if those in charge would spend a little time in preparation of the subject, rather than offer the excuse that they know nothing of the case whatever, and then for one hour sing the praises of the chlorides, whether they be of Na, or NH.. The indifference of some of the Dispensary .Staff is not a matter of conjecture, and a prompt remedy would be a means of advan- tageiius harmony between student and director, which is of considerable impurt U the patient. Harmony, and a general feeling of good will has seemed to exist between nurse and student, and forsoutli, we have reason to believe that in a few instances these have been complicated by an itis, and we see no barrier to greater freedom on the part of the parties of the aforesaid first and second jjart, thus contributing to the ])leasure of both par- ties and ol)viating the necessity of corner meetings and subdued tones. Lest the honor system and what it means be forgotten, or neglected, let us con- sider for one brief moment some of the facts relative to its conception, progress and suc- cess. The svstem as now existing was conceived by the Medical Class over whose name this book is published, in the early fall of the session of TO-Tl. it was adopted and then rajjidly spread to the other classes of the Medical Department. The faculty immediately concurred, and in its two and a half years of existence it has proven to be an integral part of the University. A few there were, who fell from honor, and so strong is the system, that the barriers to their reinstatement, though desired by many, were insurmountable. It is only by the conjoint harmony of the faculty and students in an unwavering su])port of this great svstem, that, can its aims be perfected and its existence perpetuated. Hold to its honor, men, for bv vour allegiance to it will you be measured in your University life. The character of vour future life must revert either honor or shame to our old University, beloved and revered In ' all — a L ' niversity whose name we are proud to bear ui)on our diplomas — which must give us the right of way into the vast future wherein doth lie suc- cess or failure for us all. . ' nd now that our gradualicm is here and the vast future is opening its doors that we ma - enter, let everv one of us full - realize that the battle of life is for each of us to fight. We must profit bv what we have learned, we must live up to the ideals that have been jilaced in our minds, and we must remember our former associations. Some of us may think that our task is ended, but remember that it has just begun. So Let all the world behold and wait To see if you can conquer now, If you do not, they know it not. But, if perchance you do, then how? T!o. Kn oi ' Editors. 21

Dr. Thomas Fell, President of St. John ' s College, Department of Arts and Sciences, was chosen for the position. Undoubtedly the selection will meet with the approval of every ahr.rnus, as Provost Fell is an educator of wide experience and in touch with modern educational methods. The University is to be congratulated upon its choice, and is indeed fortunate to have such a man at its head. For the first time in the more than one hundred years of its existence, the University of Maryland has a real head; as a con.sequence of which we can confulentlv look forward to the institution taking on new life and expanding into new fields of usefulness. This appointment marks an epoch in our history, a jiassing of the old order of events and the celebration of a new birth. ( )ur dreams for a better and greater University of Alary- land, we feel assured, will now come true. During the past decade there has been a grad- ual change of view by those in charge of the destinies of our Alma Mater. Some were too discouraged to j erceive it, but others had stout hearts, and sincerely believed that the P.oard of Regents were alive to the necessities for change in the method of conduct of the affairs of the institution. Their faith has been justified, and undoubtedly will be fur- ther rewarded liy still greater changes in the organic reorganization of the instituti in in the near future. Remember, in the meantime, however, that a transition is on, and that the authorities need your help, sympathy and encouragement. Do not expect of Provost Fell too much in the beginning. Give him time to become thorcniglily ac(|uainted with the affairs of the institution, and The lUilletin predicts that he will evolve a new institution u]5on the framework of the old. For the present it is planned that Dr. Fell will open an office at the University antl give Saturdays and at least two afternoons a week to the institution as an entirety It is also proposed to have an office force to assist him. Dr. Fell is regarded as one of the leading educators of this part of the country. His ability as an administrator has been tried as the president of St. John ' s College. In the ojiinion of all who have watched the growth of that institution under his leadership, he has been remarkaljly successful. When he assumed charge of the old institution, which was founded in 16% and thus ranks as one of the oldest colleges in America, a great deal of its prestige had been lo.st, and there was danger that it would suffer the same fate as a nmnbcr of other small col- leges had. 23
