Araiirmir iaij N Noveniljer the eleventh, nineteen hunch ' ed and thirteen, the L ' ni -ersitv nf Maryhind held her Academic Day Exercises, celebrating the one hundred and twenty-finirth anniversary of the opening of the St. John ' s College. The day was an ideal one, well in keejjing with the siiirit of the Maryland men. I ' .y 9.30 A. M. the eleven hundred students nf the Scientific Depart- ments had gathered in front of the University buildings. I ' romptlv at ' ' .45 A. M. the two hundred and fifty Soldier-ISoy students of the .Vcademic Department ( St. John ' s) from Annapolis arrived in their special car. After hearty greetings had passed between the several departments the line of march was formed as follows : The militar - band from St. John ' s was at the head of the procession; then came the two hundred and fifty Academic boys, three hundred Law students, three hundred Dental students, one hundred and seventy-five Pharmacy students, four hundred Medical students, and last, but by no means least, the Faculty, Regents, Alumni and visiting speakers. This line of fi)urteen hundred young men, with their faces flushed l) - the high hopes of their future and their pride in Maryland ' s pros])ects. was an impressive sight. liile various colors headed each section, the Maroon and lUack was j)redominant throughout the pro- cession. The high spirits of the crowd was shown ' by continuous cheering all along the line. At 10.30 the march was started to that famous old church, Westminster, in whose grounds the bodv of Edgar Allan Poe lies buried. The under-graduates filed into the church and occupied the seats reserved for them; the Pn.)vost. Regents and distinguished guests proceeded, each to his allotted place on the rostrum. The church was filled with -isitors, Mr. W ' illard. President of the ISaltiniore (Jhii) Railroad, was among those present. The program was as follows: Rev. Dr. Henry llranch, after being introduced by Dr. Fell, offered a short praver. The one hundred and thirty-third Psalm was sung by a quar- tette composed of Edgar T. Paul, Mobert Smock, B. }klerrill Hopkinson and John H. Ricii- ardson, after which Dr. Fell extended a few words of greeting. Mr. Grasty, Editor of the Baltimore Sun. the orator of the day, delivered an address, his subject being THE XEW FORCE BEHIND THE NEW FREEDOM. which was well received by numerous out- bursts of applause. Dr. Randolph Winslow read a memorial address to the late Dr. Eugene F. Cordell. Geheimrat, Dr. Adolph Schmidt, Privy Counsellor to the Gern an 15

It} X the natural course of events the Class of 1914 is called upon 1(3 portray to the students, friends and Alumi of the University something of their lives for the past four years. The Tkkra Mariae is, we might term, the official organ of the stu- dents in the various departments of the school. Edited and managed by a Board of ' editors elected by the Senior Class, of late vears it has been raised to a very high standard of excellence and each one of the present editors • • • • ' • has done his utmost to make this, the tenth edition. e(|ual to or better, than those of the past; whether we have succeded or not we leave for you to decide. Each vear it is their privilege to make certain suggestions and recommendations which they think will add to the laurels of the old University and to the welfare of the under- graduates. The first suggestion, and we think one of the most important, is that the publi- cation of this book Ije j)ut in the hands of the Junior Class and that the Faculty he repre- sented bv one of their numljer, not as an active editor, but to serve in an advisory capacity to the Editorial Board. Each year new men are elected who know little or nothing as to the best methods to persue in getting out the amiual, securing advertisements, awarding contracts and many other things. Therefore, it is self-evident ' that the Faculty representative, who would serve from year to ear, would be in a position to render them ery valualile service. In many Colleges and Uni ersities throughout the country the ear book is gotten out by the Junior Class which is a very wise provision. The Seniors, especially the Medical men, with their outside and dispensary work, clinics, lectures and ward classes, are as busy as the proverbial bee and do not have the time to give to the book, if we expect it to reach its highest perfection. Also any outstanding debts and other details could be taken care of before the men were so scattered that it is practically impossible to get in touch with them. The consolidation of the I ' .altimore Medical Colle.ge and Baltimore Law School with the University has been effected and good results are bound to accrue therefrom. I ' .ut more lecture halls and laboratories are an imperative need if the best interests of the stu- dents are considered, and until this is more of a realization than a somewhat hazy dream of the future, would it not be better to limit the number of men in each class so that more 17
