The valour that struggles is better than the weakness that endures. Dick, or Hosey, as he is some- times called, first made known his ad- vent into this world by a prolonged series of yells and articulations which no one understood at the time. T ater it was discovered that he was deliver- ing a toast on his favorite topic The Radios. He was born August 23, 1886, in the town of Cambridge, Dorchester County. His early education was received at the Cambridge High School, from which he was graduate l with honurs in the Class of 03. He joined our class in its Sopho- more year and has been a very jjopular member throughout his course. Dick is somewhat of an athelete. having been a member of the I ' aseball Team each season since he has been at College. His hobliy, however, is oratory, and it has been rumored among his fellow cadets thai he would leave his dinner any (lay to make a speech. lie delights in driving, esiiecially when aceumjianied liy one of the fair sex, and his propensity in this direction has led him cm several occasions to purloin the team of the chief executive. Dick ' s ambition is to become a great lawyer, and that he may attain the hinhesl point of his ambitinn is the wish of the Class of ltj()6. 16

HAROLD JOHN CAUL, ist Lieut, and Adj Buffalo, N. Y. Mechanical Engineering. Treasurer of Class ' 03, ' 04, ' 05, ' 06, Manager Baseball Team ' 06, Treas- urer June Ball Organization, Chair- man Floor Committee Rossbourg Club, Stage Manager Minstrel Show, Art and Design Editor of Rkvf.ii.ee ' 06. The mintage of wisdom is to show that rest is rust ; and that real life lies in love, laughter and work. ' A man is always better than his creed, unless perchance he makes a new one every day. Caul — alias Pete, Liz — was born on a balmy Summer day, June 22, 1886, in the city of Buffalo. After several attempts at city high school life, his mother saw a bright future before him and decided to send him to college. Well, he landed in our midst in the Fall of 1901, and the next Fall found him a member of the class of naughty six. Pete always would study. — when he did not go to Washington — so by his industrious efforts he has kept pace with the class to be graduated just fifty years after the foundation of the Maryland Agricultural College. It has been said that Liz would walk three blocks to see if he knew that girl ; anyhow, it is well known by all of us that in his large heart there is always room for just one more girl. Caul was one of the fastest and headiest quarter-backs even seen in College. His ability elected him Captain of the team for Fall, 1905. His ability in the basket-ball line is also well known. Pete will leave many friends in the Southland when he goes back North (that is if one of the gentle sex in Washington will let him), all of whom wish that all the pleasures and happiness of the future may be his.

Love at t vo-and-i venty is a ter- ribly into.xicating draft. — Riiffiiii. Science is a first-rate piece of fur- niture for a man ' s upper chamber if he has common sense on the ground floor. — Holmes. Born January 28, 1884. Ingleside, Md., is not a very large place, nor had it renown other than that it was upon the Eastern Sho ' of Maryland. But it reached its zenith when it gave birth to James Jesse Thomas Graham. Judging from his career at M. A. C, this young gentleman must have cut his teeth upon German grammar, and mi.xed mud pies accordingly to chemical formulas. Jesse, after completing the course at Ingleside Academy, spent a year in the hardware business with a brother, but at the end of that time he resigned his business for a college life, and M. A. C. was the gainer thereby. Graham ' s entrance into College was a marked success. Marching into the main entrance, he met Johnnie Green on the first floor. Dropjiing his suit case and advancing with a dilTerential bow and extended hand, exclaimed, President Silvester, I believe! Now Jesse really knew better, for he had been to M. -V. C. before with an older brother, but this piece of diplomacy has brought him many an extra ; and even now on Sunday ' s, when he makes a second huge piece of mince pie disappear, if one notices carefully he might see an innocent smile playing around the diplomat ' s mouth. Graham doesn ' t like being called a ladies ' man, but two of his classmates have made a wager that he will lie tlie first to experience love in a cottage for two. 17
