I ' ll speak to thee in silence. — Cymbeline. He sat and bleared his ej ' es with books. ' ' — Longfellow. Alias ox mz. The subject of the sketch was born at Jarrettsville, July 29th, 1882; attended the Academy at this place until he had almost finished the eighth grade, after which he applied himself diligently on his father ' s farm. In the fall of 1898 he entered the Freshman class of the M. A. C. He is about five feet eight inches high, very slender, noted for his physical strength, a man of extraordinary determination, very hard to discourage, and seldom speaks, unless he has something to .say that is deserving of the hearer ' s attention. As a commissioned officer he is liked by the student body and is held in the best of esteem by his company. He has been an industrious student in the Mechanical Department and has stopped at nothing but success. He has been an active worker in the Y. M. C. A., holding offices for the last two years. He is a musician, and is noted for his deep baritone voice, which holds the same under all conditions. G. W. CAIRNES. 20

HORATIO KNIGHT BRADFORD, 2nd Lieutenant U. S. A. Vancouver. Upon his wit doth earthly honor wait And vitiue stoops and trembles at his frown. — Cymbeline- H. K. BRADFORD. It gives US great pleasure to introduce to the kind reader Lieut. H. K. Bradford, of the U. S. Army, wliose picture is seen on this page. Mr. Bradford was once a student of the M. A. C, but on receiving the appointment to the army he left in the beginning of liis Senior year, 1902-1903. The Battalion of Cadets feel proud that one should have been chosen from their little band to .serve as one of our nation ' s protectors. His classmates miss him very much for his help in class matters and also in our annual was very much needed, and, indeed, could our book show some of his wit and humor, we know that it would appear better in the eyes of its critics. Mr. Bradford, like the rest of his classmates, had a very soft spot for the ladies, and his Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights were very seldom spent at college, but crasy some cozy corner, or, (ozy in .some a-asy corner, (it was hard to tell ), — in various Washington parlors. The class of 1903 and the student body extend to him their best wishes, and hope that if it should fall his lot to fight for his country, that his cour- age and manliness will be of the same sort as that exhibited by him while in the midst of us. 19

MANUEL ALVEREZ CALDERON, A. B Lima. MECHANICAL ENGINEERING. A man he seems of cheerful yesterdays And confident tomorrows. — Wordsworth. U. A. CALDERON. Mr. Calderoii was born in Lima, Peru, October 5th, 1880. He attended the public .schools of Lima, and afterwards entered the Engineering College at that place, graduating with a degree of A. B. In the fall of 1900, wishing to pursue his studies further, and in research of a higher institution of learn- ing, he was directed to the Mar dand Agricultural College and entered the Sophomore Class of that institution where he remained for one year, at the expiration of which he took up his studies at Cornell University. But he found the climate, so far north, too cold for him, so he returned to us about the middle of the year and resumed his work with the Junior Class. He is a hard worker, giving but little time to anything else except his studies, often making six days in the week, and he will undoubtedly make his mark ill the world. Mr. Calderon is an advocate of peace and not of war, so he has never taken up military science. 21
