M XMl The Seniors ' ' Advice First of all, O verdant Freshman, Skill thyself in drinking beer; Learn to toss the amber fluid Long before thou comest here. That thy mind may be acquainted With the sorrows and the joys Of the student who indulges In much beer while with the boys. Second, then, O weary seeker, Of the truth pent up in tomes. Learn the best and truest pleasures. Will be found where beauty roams. Heed thou now the third instruction. Pilgrim ' bout to take the road, Purchase for thyself a brierwood, And the wherewith this to load. That thy system may be strengthened ' Gainst the odors that distress. For the stomach may forsake thee And there ' ll be a meal the less. ITnderstand this preparation, Buy thyself books, two or three; Then in fear and trepidation Go unto the Faculty. Page Nine

©;•. J. Jr. H. T vla?id EAN ROWLAND is one of those steadfast characters about which it is almost impossible to say anything original. His ideals and prin- ciples are always the same. They never change. His high sense of honor and strict adherence to the principles of square dealing are among his more outstanding qualities. Thought by some to be perhaps rather stern, he is a man to whom any member of the medical school can carry his troubles and be sure of quick sym- pathy and just as ready advice. Anyone who has asked his advice, could not ha e helped being impressed with his keen judgment and sense of honesty and square dealing. Every student in the school of which he is Dean, associates impartiality with Dr. Rowland. The general sentiment of the class is expressed, I think, in the following — overheard between classes at the Medical School — two seniors talking — If in after years I forget everything else I have learned at the University of Maryland, I can only retain a mental picture of Dean Rowland as he has appeared to us as man and teacher. I shall have considered my time well spent at the L niversity. Speaking of Dr. Rowland as a teacher — his clinics on obstetrics given before the senior class are worth going through the grind of the first three years to hear. He eliminates in his talk all unnecessary and purely theoretical ideas and presents to us, in simple, to the point English, all the practical points relating to the subject in hand. We wish to express, in the name of the graduating class, our apprecia- tion of these excellent lectures. If all the admirable qualities of Dean Rowland be summed up, we see in him a model medical man, one of the highest intellectual calibre, one whom we shall strive to imitate in every way and be satisfied if we reach only half way the perfection Dr. Rowland has attained. In conclusion we wish to tell Dr. Rowland how much we enjoyed our associa- tions with him and for him to know how respected and admired he is by the students of the Medical School. K. B. Boyd, ' 24.
