EDW. WARNER MERRYMAN, 2nd Lieut. Co. A Baltimore. Mechanical, Secretary Morrill Society; As- sociate Editor of the Reveille. My mind to me an Empire is While grace affordeth health. — Southwell. A Deluge of words and a drop of sense. Alias — Grandpa, Mary, and Cotton. Merryman first appeared upon this mundane sphere in Balti- more, Maryland, November 26, 1885- While yet of a tender age, it was first perceived that the lad had an exceedingly strong mind. In 1895, he entered the Public Schools, and continued in them until he had finished one year at the Baltimore City Col- lege. In the fall of 1901, Mary entered the M. A. C. He had not been with us long before he startled the natives by his exceptional ability in mathematics. He has shown that he is a natural born Mathematician in spite of all the ZIPS donated by the Prof, of Physics to prove the contrary. Though Mathematics is predominant in Cotton ' s mind, the ladies can certainly claim second place, for he and Rube overstay their leave nearly every Saturday night in quest of fair damsels. 27

EDMUND C. MAYO, 2nd Lieut. Co. A Hyattsville. Mechanical Engineering. Humorous Editor of Reveille. Of manners gentle, of affection mild ; In wit a man ; simplicity a child. Edmund C. Mayo, alias, Pug, was born at Old Point Comfort, Va., January 8, 1885. He received his early education at a private school. He has a medal to show for his stand- ing in the higher branches of Mathe- matics. At the age of ten, he moved to Hyattsville, where he attended the High School. After graduating here, he entered M. A. C. in the fall of 1 90 1. Edmund is one of those who have helped to make our class famous, in athletics as well as scholastic work ; having played on our foot ball team, and at the same time, stood among the leaders of the class. Abounding with life and spirits, he is always ready to help those not so fortu- nate as himself. He is therefore very popular with the cadet corps. Ed. as is natural, is quite IT, around the ladies, having, we understand, to go to Washington, as Hyattsville is too small for such a conqueror. His spec- ialty is Drafting, having had considerable experience, during the summer months at the Navy Yard at Newport News. Determined and with an ambition to rise to the highest rung in the ladder of success, we feel sure that we shall soon hear of him, as one of the best in the line of work he intends to pursue. And we feel sure our Alma Mater will have great cause to feel proud of him. 26

WALTER R. MITCHELL, Capt. Co. A La Plata. Mechanical. Vice-President ' o3- ' o4 ; Secretary ' 02 ; President Athletic As- sociation; President June Ball Organization ; Vice-President, Rossburg Club ; Secretary New Mercer Literary Society. Beautiful in form and figure — Lovely as the day — Can there be so fair a creature Formed of common clay? Alias — General . Born at La Plata, Charles Co., Md., March 30, 1884. He attended the Public Schools at that place during his youthful days and then spent two years at the Southern Maryland Preparatory School where he prepared himself to enter the Freshman Class of the Maryland Agricultural College, in the fall of 1900. General is a hard student and he deUghts in studying all the branches per- taining to his course. Mitchell has distinguished himself as a foot ball man, and he has played on the team all four years of his college life, helping to win the honors of the victor- ious team of ' 04. Mitch is naturally a military man and he is captain of one of the best com- panies the College has ever known. There is only one thing he dislikes about military life, and that is the study of tactics. He is also an admirer of the female sex, and he has been known to have stopped studying his favorite study calculus, to write to his Lalage. General ' s chief adviser and confidant is Tessy, and you will always find them together. They often journey to Georgetown of a Sunday evening, for rea- sons well known, girls. Mitchell is a great favorite of all the boys, and we wish him success in every thing he undertakes. 28
