Juiiyr Jam^H f. CSortrr, A.S., KEl., MiM,
ri)(j-E C.ORTER was born in tlie City of llaltiniore, Maryland, on Angust 27tli, in 1858. He is the son of (losse Onno Gorter. wIto was born in Amsterdam, Holland, in 1818. His mother vas an affable and cultured lady from the Eastern Shore of Maryland, in vSomerset County. Her name was Mary Ann I'old, born in 1826.
'i'hroufjjhout tlie strife of the Civil War, whicli was then wag-ing, and amid all the hardships and disa])])ointments incumbent thereto, the subject of this sketch then lived near the old Relay House, in Haltimore Countv. Has'ing been made a child of destiny by the force of circumstances then im|)end- ing, the then young and alert Gorter was made to feel the ])owerfu] hand which was surrounding lum and concomitant sets of forces which were against him. Ha])])ily, however, near the close of the Civil War, his ])arents removed to llalti- more City, where he resided until 1870. During this time judge (^lorter attended the Maguire v^chool on Cathedral street.
bVom this time on, Gorter's career was by no means fixed. Things of the world were heavy, and the burden which it carried with it was great and heavv. In 1872, he therefore entered the i)re])aratory school of St. John's College at Annapolis, and was graduated from the College in June. 1878, with the degree of liaciielor of Arts. After this, from 1878-1879, he studied law in Annapolis, in the office oi Alexander H. Hagner. Subsequently he taught in the Public Schools of Anna]iolis. In June, 1881, the noble Gorter was admitted to the Bar and practiced his profession in llaltiniore City until August, 1907, at which time he was appointed judge on the Su])reme llench of llaltiniore City bv Governor W'arlield. During November of 1''07 he was overwhelmingly elected to the Supreme I'>ench by jjopular vote.
Having served his State in the State vSenate, he made a record which doe^ n(jl have an equal anywhere — for the sake of the Right he fought; for the com- mon good of the connnon people he ga\e his blood, and all Maryland renders thanks to him for his in\aluablc service.
To this great man our own L'ni\crsil\- conferred the degree of I.b.l'i. in 1881; IJ,.D. in 188,?. St. lohn's College also conferred upon him llic degree of Master of .\rls in 18S7 lionorarv.

'I'liroughout the lent^lli of this niaiTs career, no e\i(lenoe of cahimm or injustice has yet been accredited to liim. h'rom I'JOl \\y imtil the ])resenl. judge (iorter has been a constant and lirilhant lecturer in our School of Law. The various chairs which he has held from time to time are, namely : E(|uity, Evidence, Commercial Law and Pleading.
l!eing about to end the biograi)hy and tribute to the man whom we adulate m this article, let this one statement suffice for what it is worth in intrinsic value, namely: that no great and good man needs ])raise or lowers thrust U])on him either while living or dead. Judge Gorter has lixed liis life and has served both State and his fellow-man nobly and well. Justice bows at her own altar for the insi)iration which his ]iersonality affords. ( )ur State Government renders to him a meed of thanks for the service which he has rendered. Everv student, whether he be Law, Medicine or Pharmacy or Dentistry, feels that his life has been insjjired by the grand manner of the man's conduct, and the devoting and unsel- fish interest which he showed in them.
lie is a man, taken all in a'

IN MEMORIAM
J^rlimauJi J. B. (gorgaB, KM,, MM,, B33,
Who Departed This Life Wednesday, April 8th, 1914, City of Baltimore.
Requiescat in Pace.
ERDINAND JAMES SAMUEL GORGAS was born in Win- che£;ter, Va., July 27, 1834. His parents were John De Lancy and Mary Ann Gorgas.
When a child he removed to Carlisle, Penn., where he was educated, and later graduated at Dickerson College in 1858 with the degree of A.B. After attending the Baltimore College of Dental Surgery he received the degree of D.D.S. in 1854 and the degree of M.D. from the University of Maryland in 1863.
After serving some time as a volunteer surgeon in the United States Army he became the Dean of the Baltimore College of Dental Surgery. This posi- tion he held for over twenty-five years. After a time he withdrew and organ- ized the Dental Department of the University of Maryland and was Dean of this department from 1882 to 1911, when he retired, following a stroke of paralysis.
Dr. Gorgas was one of the leading authorities on dental surgery in this country, and was a contributor and editor of scientific articles to many maga- zines and journals. He was for many years editor of the American Journal of Dental Surgery, also editor of Harris' Dental Dictionary and Principles of Practical Dentistry, also the author of a book entitled Dental Medicine. He was very active in all branches of Masonry up to about twenty years ago, since which time he has been consent to let others do the work in which he used to take such a delight. Entering St. John's Lodge in Carlisle, Pa., in 1857, he rose in rank until he becam.e Grand Master in 1878. He was buried with Masonic rites in Loudon Park Cemetery, April 11, 1914. A widow and two sons by his first wife survive him.
We can't but be impressed with a life so full of energy — well spent for the sake of his profession — the spirit and the will to do. For while Dr. Gorgas was not an idealist — never having attempted a creation — yet his indefatigable energy to perfect and complete excellent beginnings renders him equal to none in his profession, both as a pioneer and constructive genius.
His many admirers, friends and former pupils have also paid in glowing terms their tribute to a great man, and the name of Gorgas shall be honored wherever dental science shall have a following.

l^oiuari NaBOu iFiTrman, H. i.
5g;-|| UT of the frightful turmoil of strife and struggle, there comes a
time when the starry hosts above bring their powers to bear
upon the consciences of men, that these men may be proclaimed
to the w^orld and whomsoever it concerns for what they are and
for what they have done. As an adequate expression of our
admiration and our respect, we shall not sing to him a funeral
dirge, nor garland his grave with roses when dead, for we
belie\'e in jjraising while alive, but we shall s])eak only as we know him to be
while li\ing. Therefore, the fittest subject wliom this space may claim, is none
other than Howard N. Freeman, AI.D.
vSomewhere in the green vales of Maine, not far from Presque Isle, the subject of this sketch was born thirty-two years ago. L'nlike the fortunate children of many, born within the midst of countless millions of wealth and all the glittering glamour of gold, he was nothing less than the child of destiny, whose beaten i)ath was yet to be worked out by himself. Throughout his younger years he was struggling against the vicissitudes of an unkindly disposed world, only to fmd that he had not yet risen above the jilane to which he asi)ired.
Having done his best struggling against the forces and misfortune to which he was sulqected, he liecame i)artly reconciled to his seemingly inevitable ])light, and hence entered into the avocation of shoemaking. Not long, however, did he pursue this policy before that unsatisfied brain craved for higher things. Here he realized that his psychical and .-esthetic side must be developed more, or else his fondest ho])e should be crushed. Therefore, right within the midst of all things which held out discouragement towards him, he again took u]) his litcrarv work, and was graduated from the Haverhill High School in I'-'Ol.
Dr. I'T'eeman was now disjxjscd to take uj) the studv of medicine. He felt that within him lay something which could at least hel|) allay the bitter ])angs brought to humanitv through disease. Jn order to do this, it was necessary that he ha\e funds which he did not have at that time. Diligently and by the sweat of his brow, he worked toward this end until the fall of 1''04, whereupon he entered the I'.altimore Medical College. He successfully linished his lirsl year in medicine but again came the monster of misfortune with which he had to grapjile. I ience, instead of being graduated in n.edicine in l''OS, he attended school awhile
10
Nl^Oh/ If'i^
and worked. In l')12 he was ^radnated from the I'.altimcjre Medical College with the degree of Doctor of Medicine.
During his work at the ISaltimore Medical College, Dr. Freeman became most proficient in Obstetrics under that illustrious man, Dr. J. M. H. Rowland. He received the medal offered for best work in the field of Obstetrics and, having been graduated, it was no surprise that he should become Chief Resident Obstet- rician at the [Maryland General Hospital. He held this position from 1912-1913 and did work there wonderfully well.
In 1913 Dr. Freeman became Chief Obstetrician to the Maternitv Depart- ment of University Hos])ital, where he worked under that i)rofound man. Dr. L. E. Neale. While here he has worked uj) the maternity work, both inside and outside, to a standard which it has never before enjoyed. With all this, he has seen that the outside work has been done properly, and no labor has yet been too tiring for him to slight it.
Being a young man and |)ossessing such a skill and lo\e for his work as he does, we ])redict for him that he shall yet become a shining light in his particular branch of his ]^rofession.
In conclusion, let us say that no man was ever more worthv of the title which he wears. For his love of truth and honor we esteem him ; for his knowl- edge and his painstaking care with students we cherish him, and for his love of the right we honor him ; and, moved by the same motives, inspired by the same instincts, his being vibrates the same thought as did the noble Celsus:
"PoY ivhether it he on the scaffold Iiig/i, Or in the battle's van, The fittest place ivhere man can die, Is Inhere he dies for man."

IE ohject of this editorial is neither to teach, nor to find fault, nor to apologize. This Book has been written. The material has been placed together. It shall have to stand for what it is worth. However, there are certain things within this Book which some people will never appreciate or realize. The statements made herein have been spoken with a most kindly feeling toward him to whom they might be applicable. The things which have been left unsaid are, in our judgment, sufficient to atone for all the sins which we may have committed. Each character herein described has been made a psychological subject for study — when we struck hard there was a motive for it. 'J'herefore, let many whom we cannot please pass this liook on to someone else and let the other party be the judge.
( )n. the other hand, we ask a little indulgence that we may speak concerning the management and financial support of the Year I'>ook in our .School. The University of Maryland is the only large university in the whole country which does not support financially, to some extent at least, the publication which is its best asset, and at the same time its most ])otent avenue for an advertising medium. It is also the only large university whose various faculties do not in some wav or the other have a governing hand on the lioard which ])Uts the Book out. Thirdlv. it is the only university of any size whatsoever which does not send one of the l)ublications to the various libraries of the schools from which it draws through- out the country. \\'e do not mean to assume the role of, nor to be dictator to, the Einancial Committee or Board of our School, but \vc do think that they could and should take some interest in the ])roduction of the thing which means more to the school than it does to the student.
']"() those who are about to become our successors in this line of work, let our congratulations be extended. We do not envv you of your position, but rather we pity you and condole for vou. Vou shall have manv battles to light, and many words to pass before your task is ended with your F>ook.
b'or the sake of all men who it may or ma\- not concern, let the whole I'ni- \ersit\- bod\- know that after this edition of Ti:rk,\ .MariaI':. the dedication of the ISook is forthcoming to, and legallv belongs to the .Medical l)e])artment in B'U), and that the Editor-in-Chief has the ])riviledge to choose the man as he thinks most lilted for the place.

( )f ah books it should be taken the least serious, in most instances
it is taken the most serious, and why? l^eoause most of the
jokes are facts and most of the facts are jokes. Those of you
who think too much has been said in reference to your life as
it has made coUej^e history, be thankful that we did not tell the
whole truth on you. Those of _\()U who feci certain you should have had more
said about you ; in fact, that y(ju have been slighted, be content, ^'ou have no
idea what we nii<,dTt have said if we had had the time and space at our (lis])osal.
No attempt will be made to n.ame this article. It will just be a few words in or out of seasons, take them as you may and name them as you choose. The writer has no apologies to offer to the literary geniuses of the foot or no ijromise of a style which future aspirants in making literary history nuist follow, to make.
Having an indi\idual. if not characteristic way of putting this up to you, wc proceed to write that which we intend.
h'irst it would seem htting in this connection, and es])ecially as this is conceded to be a college book and in many instances, I am afraid, more or less a chronological catalogue of college events, that I shovdd discuss briefly some of the histor\' made by the Class of 1913 during the four years of its existence at the University of [Maryland. Having disposed of this as I promised, in a brief manner, since the actual history we did not make has been passed by, we proceed to more interesting fields of thought.
1 am sure you would enjoy this article more if I would become i)ersonal and use names in what is to follow, but belie\ing the theor\- that true literary geniuses can write in such a way that everybody knows what they are writing about, but nobody can e.xi)lain it, 1 am not going to grant you this wish which your idle curiosity desires. W'c have been noted as a class by sticking to what we, in class assembled, have voted to do. Just to point out a few instances: We decide definitel\- to have a h(jlida}' and go away rejoicing. Next day, with all the men of the class absent, and only the mugwumps and a few others present, we decide it would get us in wrong and, while we wanted to act like men, we are afraid. ( )h hell, what's the use; we all go to class as usual. Again we decide not to take an examination which is not even required, again the whiiuperers come around with the old cry, "you are gonna get you-rself in wrong" — result: the examina- tion. It would seem that this were enough, but ()! ye gods, the worst is yet to come. Desiring to get out a college book that was worthy of the name and one that was original and had some individuality about it and so as to make this issue of the Ti'.KKA Al.\Ki.\i'; stand out for all time as a model for College Annuals the world over, we decided that in the general cont(ntr of the book we should de])art as much as ])ossible from the old dried and clear-cut methods used in the [last in ])ublications of this kind.
As usual, it was easy to show the men what we wished and soon, in the regular course of events, we decided that it was fitting at this time that our pictures appear in the Tkrr.v ]\I.vri.\1v dressed as men and not as if prei)ared by

the undertaker to pass on by eternal route to spend the future, God knows where. l)Ut the next day you ask what happened? It's easy to answer — you already know — we appear in the book in the same okl way and in the future, as you turn over the pages of tlie 1915 Tkkra Mariak those of you who are to blame for the appearance of so many corpses which stand out on each page and which you can't recognize unless the name be written beneath, tell your children to take to heart the lesson so well taught. When you decide to be a man, be one, believing yourself to be right; stick, no matter what the odds may be. Don't be a molly- coddle like your old dad. Be a man.
But for all that, we love the Class of V)\?, and in manv ways we are proud that we are members of it. Perhaps of all the classes ever attending the Univer- sity of Maryland it has more average men in it than any other. So here's to the average man ! The man who meets a crisis withcnit fear. The man who will always come back. The man who's your friend when you need hiiii. The man who meets life face to face and makes good.
This being a many sided article, and touching on every phase of college life, it is natural for the Faculty to furnish a few lines of di\ersion ai this point; but they, having been so thoroughly done up in another part of this book by a much more competent writer to handle such a stupendous task, I will refer you to that article and let them rest in ashes here.
The European war being the foremost topic of discussion among the Uni- versity students, it must come in for its share here. The battles in the Eastern countries are .small com]:)ared to the one ( in words ) between those of the students who favor the Germans and those on the Allied side. The \arious exjjlanations offered for the course of the war, the result of the several battles would no doubt be of great benefit to the participants in the war, and I am certain of amusing interest to posterity had it (posterity) an opportunity to view these pages in an unlimited way. I would almost be tempted to chronicle them here, but such not being the case I i)ray vour indulgence and pass on to other things.
The Mexican situation is so overshadowed by the colossal conflict in Europe that most of us o\erlocjk it entirely, and scarcely remember that the benelits of a lasting peace which is at present enjoyed by us are due to a cautious and great President who has the Wisdom to follow the lead of his fearless and far-seeing Secretary of State, W. J. liryan. In the whole history of the United States we have never before had such a brilliant and versatile .Secretary of State, and ne\er before have we had need of such a great mind to direct our Affairs of State. We are indeed a fortunate ])eople.
Class of P'l.^ and others who have sufhcicnt interest to read this article. 1 bid vou farewell. Pe not critical. Pc fair. If you like it say so, otherwise keej) (|uiet. There is no excuse to make for a line in this book. Everyone is free to judge it as he may. Those who like it, we thank vou. Those of you who do not, we don't give a darn what you think. We haxe written what we ha\e written.

Behold this ruin. 'Twas a skull
Once of cthcral spirit full,
This narrow cell was Life's retreat.
This space was Thought's Mysterious seat.
What beauteous visions filled this spot.
What dreams of pleasure long forgot.
Nor hope, nor joy, nor love, nor fear
Has left one trace of record here.
Beneath this mouldering canopy
Once shined the bright and busy eye,
But start not at the dismal void.
If social love that eye employed
If with no lawless lire it gleamed
But through the dews of kindness beamed
That eye shall be forever bright
When stars and suns are sunk in night.
Within this hollow cavern hung
The ready, swift and tuneful tongue;
If falsehood's honey it disdained
.\nd when it could not praise was chained
If Ijehold in virtue's cause it spoke,
Yet gentle concord never broke,
This silent tongue shall plead for thee.
Where time unveils Eternity.
Say, did these fingers delve the mine? Or with the envied rubies shine? To hew the rock or wear a gem Can little now avail to them. But if the page of truth they sought Or comfort to the mourners brought. These hands a richer mead shall claim, Th.m all that wait on wealth or fame.
Avails it whether bare or shod
The feet the paths of duty trod;
If from the bowers of ease they fled
To seek affliction's humble shed:
If grandeur's guilty bride they spurned
And home to virtue's cot returned.
These feet with angel's wings shall vie,
And tread the palace of the sky.

To him we take otf our hats and clasp his hands over the fact that he is the "best look- ing man" in the whole big crowd. He has always been pojuilar among all men, but some of his associates partly ruined him. \\'e are grieved over the fact that he changed his course into one of five years. He did well as a student and as a man. He is going to make a profound scientist. He is a jolly good fel- low and, we believe, a real living man. The worst thing we have against him is the fact that he associated with Deiner, and Deiner is a good fellow, but a different sort of good fellow as compared to Anderson.

One of the noblest characters in our school. He has attended to his own business, has done the right thing toward all men, has made a good record as a medical student, has achieved much in medical fame, and shall yet do won- derful things in the world. For a wonder he roomed with 15111 Sloan for one whole year and always outwitted \V\\] in his argu- ments. Keei)s excellent company and has made good in every respect. Hence, to say the least, is going to make an excellent ])hysi- cian — one of our princely fellows.

After having been graduated from the P'harmacy School of the C^eorgia University, tliis nice young man ventured into the un- known reahiis of Mexico, where he rolled pills for a livelihood, and "shot the hull" as a side issue. For five years he starred on the baseball and football teams. When he came to Baltimore first he became famous by the magnificent curly locks and rosy comple.xion which he wore, ibnvever, we do not believe that he uses paint. r)Ut the sad feature of his career came about when John Blackmer took the shovel from Binion and left Binion to use the cart.

To know this character suPhces for a lengthy discussion about him. The one thing about him which is hard to understand is his jjccu- liarly suscejitible vaso-n:otor nervous system. There are times when one side of his face becomes flashed up with a red color while the other side remains normal. He is earnest and nice both in his conduct and in his man- ner. \\y hard work and constant "])lugging"' he accomplished much in his course. He will make good when others fail.

Amial)le, afifable, and cute, was lie in all things. The most htting honor which we may pav to him is the fact that he fought for the honcjr system in our school, while others tried to defeat it.

Here stands a character oi whom little is known. His general acquaintances were as distant on earth, from the average man, as are the stars above fn^m the planets on the opposite side of the globe. While a student here he had unusual desires to become a great man, but the expression of his innermost de- sire was always hidden to himself. He lives alone, it is said, and has a few good friends, notably among whom is John lUackmer. The distinguishing feature about him is his feigned dignity.

To Clinkscales we shall have to bow for the brilliant radiancy which his bright red hair affords us. He only came to us in our junior year, therefore his history is by far incom- plete. But he became a clinical assistant in 1915 and did exceedingly well. His best friend is Dr. E. L.

A ])erplcxing ])sychological problem, pin- ioned poignantly posed, and versatile in the handicraft of chicanery and adroitery which saw an untimely end. He was beautiful in manners, affable in affectation, and feigned in his ])hilosophy. During his student days, he is to be remembered for not having become engaged in "bum arguments," but, on the other hand, he is to be condemned for the j)art he played, and the element toward which he sym])athized in iiolitics. However, we consider him honest and true in his belief. Diener did splendid work while a student and answered 75 per cent, of ambulance calls.

You may use persuasion as far as the psychical intellect may go with the man ; ycju may resort to every means which skillful adroitry has at command, but there is one thing you cannot do — you can't drive him into anything.

Frankly it would be a difficult task to finally decide who has the bigger head of the two, Shipley or Grossman.

We even fear that he has about an eighth of a mile on Professor Gag- non. The great Japanese scientist, who is ever alert to pecuniary deals.

Of soul sincere, in action faithful, and in honor clear — a man to all the country dear.
When seen or thought of, we cannot hut recall great men when we think of our Kelly. Having come to us in his junior year, he made more friends and founded for himself a repu- tation which is mostly to be envied. The story is said to be written concerning him and a certain pipe which he bought and kept for six years. It is impossible to ascertain his reasons for such an act. Throughout his junior year he rendered valuable first aid to Dr. Whitney when the occasion demanded it, and we go not amiss when we say that Kelly is a good chemist. For his worthiness he was elected Secretary to Class in 1913-1914, and Chairman of Honor Committee in 1914-1915.
Today he is a luember of the Phi Chi Fraternity and Randoljjh Winslow Surgical Society.

He is quiet in character and ])ossesscs a brain filled with wisdom. Unfortunately, he ruined an $8.00 pair of shoes in the laboratory.

Deitsch is as genteel as he is companionable. One of his chief am- bitions in life is to revolutionize the science of medicine and make fame for himself. All the body of guards of Celsus are keeping watch over him that he mav accomplish his ambition and make a big physician.

It i3 said of our friend, who hails from that decidedly rural district of North Caro- lina, and who carries with him some of the rural etchings in his individual characteristics, which have not been entirely rounded off by his four years' medical career, that since he has turned out the brush on the superior labia of his oral cavity that he need only the W'est- erner's sombrero to change his identity from that of a ploughman to that of a Mexican ranchman. But with all these markings of his peculiar characteristics, Lackey will be there when the roll is called and to make his personality felt in the future as he has done in the past, since he is a graduate of Oak Ridge Institute, N.

This is the greatest error of all the rest; the man should he put into the lantern, and yet courtesy knozi^'s no boundary.
Even his face, alone, shows something with in it which satisfies a long lost desire for hu- mane courtesy.

Good-naturedness seems to stand out as one of his most redeem- ing features, for he has taken credit unto him- self for having done two years of outside work in Professor Neale's department sjilen- didly according to his own dictum, but in re- ality got one-half year's credit for same. We pity, () yes, pity him, for he is the victim of that loathsome disease, Somnas, whose par- oxysms manifest themselves T. I. D. and spare him not wherever he be, on, or off, of class.

But his ideas are intolerant in many resi)ects. He lived a life which most medical students do not live.

Ross is a good student and of a brilliant mind, but he lacks one thing to make him po|)ular with men, and most l)articularly students in a university, namelv: tact. Having a tendency to be subservient and cons|)icuous in the eyes of his i)rofessors, he tor the first few years of his course made himself a joke. At last he has realized the "error of his ways" and should he continue the good work should make good, v'^uccess to him.

His name is Louis, but we call him Deutsch — not for political reasons. He is an athlete and a mustache grower; in the former a suc- cess— in the latter a failure. However, he is a i)hilosoi)her, even for that, since he passed five months of his senior year in "1)um" ar- guments with Hendri.N, trying to persuade Hendrix to l)clieve that in 1916 Germany would control all Euroi)e and be mistress of the high seas. "He was a man, take him all in all,'' for the fact that he was a good stu- dent, that he attended to his own business, and for his many coveted \irtues. He is a gradu- ate of HallinKirc Citv College, attended Deich- mann's College and the Johns Ho])kins Univer- sity. For his aptness and abilitv was made I'resident pro tempore in our first year. Later he served on Class liamier Committee for two years, and held a chair on Ivxecutive Commit- tee in his senior year. Throughout his senior year was clinical e.xterne to Lniversitv llos- l)ital.

Herein is heralded forth the mighty Lord and noble \'iscount, Professor Chas. Mitchell vStndebaker. There have been times at which he started in genito-urinary diseases when Dr. Timberlake was shrewd enough to catch him. Studebaker is peculiarly prone to be of a re- search mind, and, upon being asked a ques- tion, thinks laboriously long before he an- swers your question. His par excellence can not be equalled by any known Pennsylvania Dutchman. His specialty is discussing the intricacies of undiscovered medicine.

England's little morning took care of this child, which was born to bedeckon its future glorv. England's dynasty is yet grateful for his having been born on her shores and within her kingdom. lUit Connecticut is none the less proud of his being, because he hails from this grand old State to us.
Having been graduated from the ])ublic schools of London and of Con- necticut, he entered upon the study of medicine at the University of Maryland in l'J04, and was graduated fnjm this school in l''OS v>ith the Degree of Doctor of -Medicine. After this time he was Resident Surgeon in the University 1 los- ]ntal from 1*J0S-1')11, consecuM\-ely. Since 1*^1 he has been Superintendent of the University Hospital throughout these successive years.
As a i)hysician, no nobler man ever came in contact with a suffering hu- manity. His life has been noble in its aspect, sacrificing in its work and beautiful in its accomplishments. As a man and as a professional man, it is not out of order that this book at least be a meed of thanks to him. No student can but sav that his methods and works have forecasted by im])artial and honest policy.
While our superintendent, he has completely systematized our hosiiital's working basis, has wrought order out of chaos and today conducts the most hnely ecjuipped and best run hospital in l>altimore City. Finally, it is neither preposterous nor untenable to hold that this W. J. Coleman, is one of our noblest assets. His life is its own indispensable j)hantom. His work is known. Here is a health to "IJill Coleman." He is a member of the Maryland National Guard and many fraternal organizations.
Your life is as gentle as the elements;
Your personality has its bearing ;
Hut your heart is still a grander jewel than all of these.

Thev don't ne\er say nothin,' thereby showin' their good judgment ; 'cause when y'u clon't know nothin' its best t' keep your mouth shut. How in th" name o" Sam llill (jucveedo ever got this far is more'n I kin make out. l!ut "It's a long lane what ain't got no worm in it," an' he'd better make hay while th" hayin"s good, 'cause some o' these ])eople on th' Faculty might wake u\) some time, y'u kin never tell.

Do y'u recolleck th" time Schrieber woulda covered that baby with anti])hlogistine (or whalchacollit ) , an' how Ralph Jenkins got aU balled ui) (;n that shoulder reduction after sittin' on th" front row watchin' Prof. W inslow reduce it for a hour? Now d(jntcha know that it's goin' t' take longer an' four years t" make their heads good for anything besides a anchor t' keej) their collars from shdin" u|) oilen their necks? W'ouldja give more'n two-bits for th' chances that h'ritz has got wlien he asks a fool (|uestion like "How did th' lirst dog get Rabies?" Neither would anybody else. The more y'u think about this bunch the more sadder it makes y'u feel concernin' th" fate o' some o' them. When it's a acknowl- edged fack that Cohen could make a fine run for chami)een Toreador of th' U. S. it makes y'u wonder what bizness he's got tryin' t" be a doctor. An' anybody knows that guy Studebaker could make more money as a model in a hair-dressin' establishment than he will ever make in medicin'. Didja ever sto]) an' listen at McReynolds when he is gittin' otT some gab? Natchelly y'u can't blame him for what he's doin" cause he don't know no better.

( )R one hundred and seven years the University of Maryland lias sent out into the world, graduates, the majority of whom have risen to honor and distinction as general practitioners or as specialists in the various branches into which the medical jjrofession is divided.
Many have received from their Alma Mater appointments as demon- strators or instructors, accepted the honors offered to them, lived on with the institution which had given so much to them, continually broadening and dee])ening their knowledge of the psysiological functions of the body, the ])athologi- cal changes which arise, the prevention and cure of diseased conditions, until this knowl- edge of the changes — both normal and abnormal — which take ])lace in the human bo(l\' has become i)art of themselves.
Some, by their earnestness of ])uriiose, conscientious application to the work before them, powers of concentration and intelligent gras]) of that division of the medical sci- ence which they have chosen as their own, become so deeply learned that the highest honor accorded to a medical man has been offered to them — a professorship in their own Uni- versity.
Many graduates of the old University of Maryland have entered other institutions. Some at tirst serving as internes in liosjiitals and later as visiting i)liysicians or sur- geons— gradually working their way up until they have become a power in the medical world.
Others have entered, as instructors or lecturers, other colleges or universities. Not being satisfied to say of certain diseases — Aetiology unknown, there is no specilic treat- ment— Prognoses — incurable, they have expended time and money in an attem])t to get at the very root of an obscure disease and to bring light into the darkness which has as yet never been jienetrated.
Still others have given the best that is in them in service to their country, entering the Health Department, the Army or the Navy, ever ready at a moment's notice to do their best in the alleviation of suff'ering or distress; to study into the conditions from which disease springs and to study those diseases seen in foreign countries — not at home.
Gentlemen, of all the world, the Graduating Class of 1915 is about to come among you, and once more it becomes the duty of the historian to prejiare for ])rint a history the class has made during the past four years. This is not easy, because as a whole the class has been extremely active and energetic.
In the latter ])art of September and early October, 1011, there might have been seen making their way from the various railroad stations of the city, towards the University of Alaryland, young men of various nationalities and social conditions.
91
^'M'^k'^ i^^<*
All these young men came here for the same puri)ose, namely: to begin the ascent of that liigh mountain, the top of which cannot be reached, because it means all knowl- edge absolute and perfect, of conditions which affect the human body, both in health and disease.
( )ctober the second, the University opened its doors and the upward climb of the mountain of knowledge began.
The smiling faces of the v^ophomores seemed everywhere. In little grou]is they stood ever ready to touch the stranger on the shoulder and say: "Are you a I*>eshman? We want you,"" "Come with me" and forthwith conducted the stranger to a long line of those similarly treated. They roped us together, ordered us to turn our coats inside out, rolled uj) our trousers to the knee, painted our faces and legs and, after arranging us so that all might be seen, took our picture for the Annual. We were ordered bv the Sopho- mores t<j cleanse our faces, co;nb our hair and brush our teeth each morning l)efore appearing at the L'niversity. lUit this, it has been said, some refused to do on general principles, and the blue cap with the white button was seen on no Freshman's head.
As time went on we gathered force and strength, became accustomed to the changed conditions of our lives, better accjuainted with one another until one day in the early part of ( )ctober we met in the Histological Laboratory, where olficers for the ensuing year were chosen.
In the clav time, ascent of the mountain of knowledge took up the hours of the am- bitious I'Veshman, anxious to become a Sophomore, for then could he not get back at those who had hazed him by striking at the incoming hrst-year men?
At night, the lights, the movies and the girls lilled the hours, the dearest of the day — with \isions tair and brave deeds done — "^'es! — Father is not going to be disa])pointed in me — Medicine isn't so hard, after all. All you need to do is get a good fair gri]) on the subject and ap])ly the principles — I like Anatomy — that's one thing I can learn. Tomor- row night I'm going to start in, and study every night — but confound those words."
Stumbling uj) the mountain, more frequently at hrst, this Freshman Class kept going steadily ui)ward, becoming more and more accustomed to the rough, uneven road witli its numerous intersecting by-paths; tripping and falling become less frequent.
r.ul this great iiig mountain of medical knowledge reaches far up into the cloud> and then' is a torturous, rough and broken road, \'ar\'ing in widlli. leading from its foot to the summit.
.X'umerous by-paths lead off from the main road at different le\els of the ascent, twist- ing and turning to the right or to the left, at times hidden from \ iew b\' the undi'rbrusli

or oNcrshadowcd I))' tail trees, these narrow little paths at first (hverge from the road of ^■eneral knowledge and then turn about — lea 1 towards it, uniting' at a higher road.
Since the world began, nian"s ambition has been to hnd out what is in him, how it acts and what makes it act. They have studied and thought what the\' learned or thought has been passed down to the next generation by tradition (jr recorded in books as theory or fact.
This knowledge of the whole medical science, gathered from all parts of the world and by all nations, is the ruler, the guider, the controlling force and the power wdiich leads the struggling student over the main road from the foot towards the top of the mountain.
Medical men themselves have thought it wise t(j make by-paths, and for each school of medicine to choose leaders, one for each ])ath.
The University of Maryland chose its leaders and over the b_\'-paths called .\natomy, Smith was appointed to show the way.
His time being occupied with those who had tra\'ersed the path for |iart of the dis- tance, Holland was i)laced in charge and liy his guidance the h'reshmen crei>t steadily forward and ui)ward.
Three times a week, in the morning, he would meet this clas> in the old Anatomical Hall and, starting from there, would lead llie way o\er a delinite portion cd' the by-i)ath, each time extending the journey a little farther and farther from the starting point.
The things he told about, the ologies met along the way, the faci;e, the tissues, the bones, the joints, the blood-vessels and nerxes, it did seem as if every structure in the bodv had a name bigger than itself.
In the afternoon he would again lead tlie way along the ]iath, this time starting from that rcjom. the odor of which can be recognized long before the door is reached.
Here, entering for the first time, the student turns pale and has a ])eculiar feeling in his epigastrium, liecoming hardened as time goes on, it was not an uncommon sight to- ward the end to see a student dissecting with one hand while holding a cheese sandwich in the other.
Smith had another assistant and his name was Reeder. Tt was his duty to see that the student traveling the by-path of Anatomy turned aside now and then to pay partic- ular attention to little hillocks, holes, depressions and valleys seen on calcified tissue called bone.
Over the by-path called Physiology, Hemmeter ruled the way, but his time being taken \x\i by those wdio had gone before, Conser was chosen to point out the route.

Here we started from the old Chemical Hall — being instructed to read \.\\) — Oh, so many pages of what we were expected to meet on the way. Conser conducted our tour, pointed out the dangerous places and bridged o\'er the gai)s by giving direct statements which we could write in our note books and know what they meant afterwards.
( )ver the by-path called Chemistry, Dean Coale had full charge. In the hall named in honor of his branch of the medical science, he met us and guided us along the path of Inorganic Chemistry. From the eighty known elements, he would explain to us how the wonderful things in nature are composed by union, under the proper conditions, of exact weights of certain of these elen:ents.
ISut, Coale was a busy man, his time being taken \.\\i with many duties, therefore it was his plan to start us well on the road and then turn us over to an assistant named Base.
At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, we couragecnisly faced our leader, Uase, in his own particular oft'-shoot of the Chemical by-path.
Marching two by two, in his i)ath, iiase would show us how, by union of an acid with an alkali, a salt is formed, he let us, following his formula on the board experiment
Hcl & Na oh = Nacl & ILo. E\ aporation.
W'c tasted common salt.
The by-path of Materia Medica was govei'ned by v^liipley. It was his |)leasure to meet us in th.e old hall of anatomy and to carry us along this path leading through all ])arts of the world. The man\-, many kinds of plants seen growing in the valleys and on the hills were a source of wonder to us at tirst, but under the leadershi]) of our instructor we be- came familiar with the flowering world and learned that many beautiful plants contained deadly substances within.
Sinsky, Shi])ley's chosen assistant, frec;uently met us and conducted us on little side trips from the by-paths of Materia Medica.
These ])aths were somewhat rough and often neat calculations were rec[uired to avoid a bad fall. ( )n the toj) floor of a newer building another leader, Maldeis, would call us to- gether and ex])lain the marvels to be seen extending to the right and to the left from the beginning to the end of the by-])alh of Histology. To see these wonderful things, death of many animals was re(|uired: i)owerful glasses of high magnification were necessary to bring into focus the delicate lines not of man's formation and often, especially in the beginning, a most active imagination.

(Jiic day when well along the In'-path of Histology, Alaldcis called us aside and said: "Today we are going to take another path, running i)arallel with the one we have been fol- lowing." We started and we stared. Our eyes grew wide with wonder. Such twisting and folding; such multiplication and specialization, such turning and returning, so that that which was without was within. It was beytjnd the most \ivid imagination.
This l)y-i)ath of Enibryolog\- was not long, but wonderful. Leader Cordell led the way ()\er the hjngest by-path of any.
It seemed t<.) begin where the first — ted had the stomach-ache and following as tortu- ous nnite to continue on — to where?
( )ur hearts and our heads were full. Alany he down to rest.
At the end of the allotted time for following these various by-i)aths, we were invited by each and every leader to step up and show on pai)er to what e.xtent our trip uj) the mountain (jf knowledge had deve!oi)ed our cerebral corte.x. When all these papers were handed in we bade each other farewell and started to that place from which we came, there to await the call to continuance of ascent, one-third of a year hence.
Reader: We can^e back to the University — nearly every one of us, in early Octo- ber, 1912.
True, there were a few faces missing, but the number was made up Ity those who had been climbing with us although in other universities.
Hazing we had outgrcwvn, and the fun anticipated a year ago was forgotten. The incoming first-year class passed by us unmcdested.
It seemed good to be back, to shake hands once more with the friends we had made, to know that our ])rofessors considered us worthy — for had they not ])assed us on? Then there were the old familiar seats in the mo\ies, and last, but by no means least, the i)rettv Baltimore girls to call on once again.
With a rush, we set out over the \yell-kn()wn ])aths. Anatomy, fhysiologv. Chemistry and Materia Medica, but this time the climb was steei)er and when Smith called us out to follow him along the by-path of Anatomy, we loosened our belts and cut out our smokes, to keep up with his strenuous stride.
He started us where Holland cast us off, and we followed him in this path to its end. Holland called us once more to his wonderful den and there we dug deep into the vitals of man.
Continuing our journey over the by-])ath of Physiology, we were guided this year by Hemmeter himself.

lie told US SI) clearly how the organs within us acted and while he was speaking it seemed as if we could look into the body and see each organ functioning.
Henimetcr turned us over to his assistant, T'atterson, who led u--^ over a side i)ath to a den oi his own, wdiere he rigidly instructed us in the use of electrical stimuli to nerve or muscle. Chief Coale, of the by-path oi chemistry, again called on us to toe the line and to march after him over that ])ortion of the path as yet unknown to us. The signboards bore the letter C. These we followed to complexity. "Take this," said Coale:
"H
H — C — H, and keep it nigh, because by it you li\e or die.'' H
We boys stuck close until we reached the formula C\,H-, ( >H then came a breach. "Come on," said one, "let's take one more," and then there rose a mighty uproar.
C, li, OH = HC, H,, O, z Vinegar & H.O.
Retreat, to the path come one and all and said, "Dear Coale, don't let us fall. To one side of this chemical by-path there was a building which bore the sign, "Physiologi- cal Chemistry," and the key of this building was in the possession of Todd.
Todd called the roll every time. Starches, sugars, ])roteicls and fats. How often we wondered what we were doing. ( )ne day in a (|uiz — we're glacf it was his (Todd's) — we learned that life's method is attending to biz (business). The wide gate to the by- path of Materia .Mcdica swun.g open and there stood Shipley to greet us. k'or this leader we had worked before, but never as we did now. "Come on," said he, "and let me see what \ou'\'e learned of .\natomy." "Take this drug of a certain tree —
Note its action on Physiology.
Conii)ound this dose i)harmaceuticall\- and see the results of Chemistry."'
Sliipkw had, tucked away behind the brush, to one side of the by-path of .Materia Medica a little house called "I^aboratory of Pharmacology," and in this house .\sper was the man who go\erncd. It was Asper's pleasure to call us tliere once a week and to re- cord in a little book a figure from zipj) to 10 behind each man's name.
vSometimes he would not ask us (|uestions or to come to the board Imt would bring into the room dogs, chickens, rabbits or cats, and these we would feed white powders or green tal)lets. ( )ften instead of feeding by mouth, a long needle and a piston was used, the bitter dose being injected directly into a vein.
Close to the jdace where tlie by-])atli of llislology united with the main road, another by-path was seen leading ui)ward and a signboard at one side informed us, stranger, that the jtath for the first part of the distance i>:issed through the region of llacteriology and for
96
d. NNO*'^ ff*¥
the remainder of the distance, which was long and very steep, the path would about so l)eculiarly that strangers had difficulty in maintaining a foothold or from becoming lost in the surrounding wilderness.
This portion of the path was known as Pathology, and the end of it could not be reached until the stranger had rested, to come back fresh. ( )ne man had full charge of this path and his name was Hirsch.
Hirsch had many assistants who, under his guidance, showed us, as we walked along, many strange plants, some of which were dangerous to the health of man.
'i'here were curious little red crooked stick^ surrounded by a blue background. These they told us had caused many men to sjjit blood.
These were little bundles of bluish sj^herical objects, resembling bunches of grapes, — "Sto])hylococci," said the assistants, and we stared in wonder.
Then there were long chains of (organisms having a white glistening center "an- thrax" whisi)ered some one who had seen them before, lie proved to be right.
Hut the most cuiious thing of all was a small biscuit-shai)ed vegetable bug-adiplo- coccus found in the pus cell. These we saw plainly and turned away with a shudder.
This i)orti(jn of tiie ])ath of Hirsch we were glad to have traversed before Christmas. When the Christmas holidays had passed, we came back to the University and rushed over the bacteriological jiart of the bacteriological pathological by-i)ath to the beginning of the ])athological ])()rtion of it.
The path for some distance led through congested areas, steeped in blood and later on opened into an expanded country where destruction and degeneration greeted our eyes on all sides.
As we jjassed along we noticed that the lioulders were bec(jming logger and bigger and the ])ath more crooked to avoid going over them.
"What are these big roundish objects," we asked the assistants. They turned and said, "new formations, tell us what makes them grow, and your name will be known to fame."
( )n a gate which oi)ened into a little by-jiatii these words stood out in bold relief: "]')y-])ath of Medical Jurisprudence and Hygiene. Enter all and ye shall be taught by J. L. Smith, its ruler."
We pushed the gate o])en and walked in. For a while, we trudged along the Aledical Jurisprudence portion of the path and learned the difiference between death by drowning and hanging.
97
S.M.SL.
Finally, we canic to the Hygiene portion of the path and before going far, we saw clear! \ that life is a struggle to ward off death. Some germs pass through a porcelain liUer.
The l)y-])ath of Minor Surgery next came into view, and the ruler of this great path was T(jni])kins. ( )ur legs and our arms were bandaged tight. Often our heads and our trunks disaiijieared from sight. Physical diagnosis next loomed into view, and the rulers of this by-])ath numbered two.
Lockard and Zuljelin, often in vain, ])ounded our craniums words to retain.
liaving climbed the mountain i)athways for another year, we met at the appointed time in Davage Hall and ])ounded our craniums for the proper answers to certain specific questions printed on papers placed before us.
When the last question was answered, how happy we were to start fcjr the jilanes of nrdinarv folks.
We — .^0 ])er cent, doctors — i)erhai)s. As we walked uj) the well-beaten path leading til the entrance of our University, on the first day of October, 1913, we saw many faces unfamiliar to us. All were not Freshmen, as we soon found out. A great number coming to us fmm the llaltimore Medical College, which had consolidated with the I'nixersity of Maryland during the i)ast summer.
We. students nf the two medical schools, became friends without a jar. In un- s))(iken language, agreeing to stand by each other throughout the remainder of our ci lUcgc course.
There was not much time for handshaking because the rulers o\er the various b}-])aths stood ready to l)egin the upward march.
.Yearly all the by-])aths to be followed this year were unknown to us and those in charge of the paths we liad heard about and not seen.
Won! from llirsch was receixed by us to continue our climb up the by-path of ])atlio](igy. "This year," he said, '"we will specialize, as we progress. There is the path of the cordio-vascular system to l)e exjjlored, the pulmonary path, most interest- ing and instructive, lies just beyond, and the path of the gastro-intestinal system is niagnilicent. 'i'here are few men who cannot ai)])reciate its delightful cur\es. The \ alley ol the genito-urinary system lies on our way. We wdl stop there and inspect its vvondrou> beauties before passing on to the highly sensitized ])ath ni the nervous system.'" We followe 1 tliis leader to the end of liis route and he was good to us.
Notice was received from McCarty to hustle up and acconqjanv him o\ er the by-path ol I'liysical Diagnosis. lieing slight!}- familiar witli tliis ])ath. we lo^t no time in preliminaries.

liy close inspection, we learned something- as we jjasscd along and through our sense of touch we became conscious of \-i])ratious sensations of varying" intensity, liy l)ounding- first in this spot and then in that, the different densities of matter was man- ifested to us and hearing, we soon learned, can become a fine art.
Hark! Shipley calls, was our greeting one morning after we had bidden fare- well to her in our dreams. W'e lost no time getting started for the by-i)ath tn l)e fol- lowed on this occasion, because we knew that the trip wnnld be long, the climb steep and very rough.
Thus the l)y-path nf Pathological Surgery began ol)li(|uely across the street from the University and extended far out into the wilderness of i5ay \'iew. There were two smaller paths leading off from the main one, b.ith running westward, one led to the land of Eutaw and the other to the region of St. Paul.
I']), up, the main path, we climbed in the wilds, ( )ur reward, now and then, an occasional smile From the man wlm had mastered the route to the pile, L'nder which there lay hidden good deeds of worth while. Rejoicing, we come to the by-path of Practice. It was our intentinn to know this path as man had never known it before, but it did not take us long, under the guid- ance of \\'ilson, our leader, that life is shi.rt and that one man's head can hold just so much.
vSaid he. There is two kinds of kn.ow ledge. ( )ne kind which man carries in ids heatl, the other kind is knowing how to get at it, the knowledge when needed for use.
This was our cue and (iod knows, e\en so, we had all we could go.
Typhoid fever, a young man had. Pneumonia had his mother. A dizzy spell was troubling dad. And, the goni — caught his brother.
Once each week, Mitchell and Friedman, on diiferent days, would go with us over the by-path of Practice and pound into our brain cells the truth ]iointed out by Wilson.
The by-path of Obstetrics was before us and Neale, the leader over this path, showed us the beauties to be seen on all sides, as we followed him along its curva- tures. Hidden mysteries were brought into view and explained in detail.
We learned that all the beautiful things in nature are not exposed to the rays of the sun, many growing in shadows, bei ng rarely subjected to the brightness of day.
99
Now, the l)y-])ath of Thcra])c'Utics, started from the main road, ran for some dis- tance npward and then separated into two smaller paths, one leading ofif to the right, the other to the left, both winding their way npward, coming together again, shortly, before nniting with the main road at the higher level.
Over this path of pre\ention and cnre two men rnled.
When we had fulhjwcd them lo the i)lace of di\-ision, one leader wonld gnitle ns o\'er his path for a wdiile and then the other wonld show ns the delights of his.
Jyockard took the path of Apjjlied 'rherai)enlics, and while he led ns, food was i)len- tiful l)nt never in excess.
The i)ath of I'liysical 'i'herai)eutics belonged to (iichner, and to onr great joy he let ns swim in the waters of his many ponds and drink from his bubbling springs.
In the midtlle of a by-i)ath from which we had, up to the j)resent time, been ex- cluded, stood Ashby, ruler of all the land which lie within its gates.
The name of this ])ath was Gynecology, and it had been known to the world since the days of Eve.
Ever keeping uj) with our leader as he walked along this path, we listened atten- tively to his description of our Creator's luost beautiful gift to man.
Having tra\'ersed the i)ath ior consi(leral)le distance, our knowledge of the beau- tiful became more extensixe and before the end of the path was in sight we had learned a beautitul exterior luay conceal from view conditions of wretchedness and sorrow.
There was a by-iiath called Pathological Chemistry, whicli was to us unknown '.mtil the smiling face of Whitney bade us come with him. lie told us manv inter- ■;sting things, as he led the way along the path t.i a building which we entered.
in the building the knowledge gained, as we walked, became strengthened by ac- tual i)ractice. W'e analyzed various products of cell metabolism and counted the bk)od cells in a cubic milimeter of diluted serum.
■'Tin' by-])ath nl ( )])erati\-e Surgery, come in and .Martin will show xdu how to go IrdUi the beginning to the end,'" said the announcer one morning, as we aw-ike to the fact that another route u\> the mountain lav o])en to us.
W'e followed .Martin fmni the head to the foot of this great path ;ind learned irnni liini swiftness in treating disease conditions, where siu'gical operations .-ire necessarv.
The by-path of neurology was ])ointed out l)y S]iear, who said. "This path is mine, as you ])ass alimg it you will learn to think."
Ascending or descending the tracks of the ]>ath, one did think and we thought. The more we thought, the more we found t.i think about.

Another by-path, the last to he followed this year, opened before us. It was the by-path of the eye, and Larun was the leader over this path.
For awhile we studied the beauties of the Lake Lachrynalis and then turned our attention to a spherical body found near the lake. The strat of this body was pene- trated and we found within a dark ca\-ern filled with fluid.
The end of tliis, our third year of climbing- the mighty mountain of knowledge, came in sight.
We were glad to assemble in a hall and tell on i)a])er what we had learned as we climbed.
The time to do this covered two full weeks and when the last (juestion had been answered, a call to the planes made sweet music in our ears.
Reader: The historian has just lieard some one say "E.xaminations are right on top of us. Eye conies oft' on the 17th." Therefore it seems to him wiser to record the facts more briefly of this, we all hope the final year of our climl) up the mountain of knowdedge as undergraduates and devote more time to study.
The by-path of Surgery, to be followed this year, was ruled over by men who had studied it for many years — Winslow and Warfield. We traxelled with them and not only strengthened our knowledge of surgical facts learned before, but stored in our brain cells memories of conditions seen for the first time this year.
We learned how to set broken bones, reduce dislocations of joints and all other surgical operations important to know.
Street, Wilson and Zubelin, the three learned men in medicine, controlled our progress in the second year of our climb U]) the by-path of Practice.
We were introduced to all the conditions which might confront us as practition- ers and instructed in methods of relief to the suffering world.
The cries of many babies attracted our attention to the by-path of Children. Three men who know the conditions along this path from the cradle to the age of the first vote showed us how to go and from them we learned gentleness, patience, and the proper methods to use in treating the symptoms of diseases affecting those in early life. The names of these three men were Mitchell, O'Donovan and Eockard.
To go from one end to the other of the liy-path of Neurology requires two years of hard climbing.
At the word from Spear, master of the path, we started to pass along that portion of the path over which we did not go last year. The cerebro-spinal and sympa- thetic nervous systems are subject to many diseases and we soon learned that alcohol is not the only thing wdiich will make a man stagger.
The by-paths of Diseases of the vStomach was shown to us by Ilemmeter, who knows this path from end to end.

Gaining- much knowledge as we passed along, it seemed wise to lis to impart some of our newly acquired information to certain lady boarding-mistresses but of poor digestions, they cared not to hear. Oh! what a big pocket-book, you dear boy, come here.
In the fourth year of climbing, Xeale and Rowland accompanied us over the ( )b- stetrical by-path for the second time.
W'e added much to the information, gathered last year and deepened the dents in our l)rain cells carrying obstetrical knowledg-e gathered, here, there and all over.
\Vood and Larun, leaders of the by-i)ath of Diseases of the Eye, conducted us o\er this path in the last eight months of our climb as undergraduates of medical knowledge.
In the old University building", as well as along the by-path, we studied the eye diseases likely to be seen by the practitioner, and in the University Hospital manv of these diseases were shown to us, ht)ping that they would be photographed in our memories.
Merrick had charge of the by-path of diseases of the Nose and Throat. He led the way over this path and explained to us, in detail, how important it is to keep the U])i)er air jjassages free from contaminating organisms.
.\s we passed along the by-path of Gynecology, for a second time, Ashby, Hund- ley and I'erry pointed out to us UKJst emphatically the importance of taking the best of care of the gentle sex.
'iMicy said, "'What the world is seeking is strong, healthy men and women."
The by-path of ( )tology has been di\ided by nature into outer, a middle and an inner division.
W'e started with Crouch, master of the path, at the outer end and made our way to- wards the inner. He explained to us, rei)eatedly, the conditions affecting the useful- ness of this path and told us many times how a doctor, by neglect, carelessness of im- l)roper treatment, can do more harm than good to the delicate structure met along- the way.
The by-|)ath of ( )rtho])edic Surgery ruled o\er by Taylor has many cur\es and takes the shape of the bony structure of the human body.
These curves ])roduced by changes in the structure of the discs supjiorting the body of the ])ath abo\e the pcKis were described to us as kvphotic, lordotic oschotic, depending u|)oii the direction of the cimcxitis and the concaxitv.
It has been said that curved lines are the lines of beautv but in some instances the contrary seems true. This pmbably de])ends upon one's point of \iew.
The l)y-path of the skin is plainly \isible to e\ery eye, but the little red hillocks in the distance often proved to be planes not elevations. How nfien we thought we saw papulev imtil G.ildirist, rider nf the ));ith, said we saw macules.

N a certain November evening: in the year of our Lord 1943, having brought my earthly career to an untimely end by an indiscreet experiment with a well-known fat reducing agent, I approached the dark shores of the River Styx. As I followed the well-worn trail dcnvn to the bank, 1 saw in the deep gloom a shadow making its way toward me, and as it drew near I was greatly surprised and delighted to recognize my old classmate MotYett. We exchanged joyous greetings, for indeed, it was no small com- fort to meet a friend on such a journey.
In answer to my inquiries concerning his ])resence there, he told me that having lost so much slee]) during the years of his lucrative practice of the healing art, he had hnally succumbed to exhaustion, and was now on making his way to the great Unknown. He had reached the river some hours ahead of me. but on attemi)ting to cross had been told .\^ by Charon that lUiie, the renowned surgeon, was on his way thither, and had ordered the boat held until his arrival. There being nothing to do but to wait, as not even the boat- man cared to risk the displeasure of such an eminent shade by going contrary to his commands, Moffett availed himself of the intervening time to indulge in his favorite oc- cupation of sleeping, only to awakan some hours later and find the ferry with its dis- tinguished passenger gone, and a notice that there would not be another trip for six hours. Resigning himself to the long wait, he was about to have another na]) when the noi.se of my ai)])roach disturlied him, and our meeting resulted from his investigation.
While explaining thus to each other, we inadvertently turned into a little bv-path whicli brought us to the river bank a short distance below the regular landing i)lace, and as we were about to retrace our steps the unmistakable chugging of a gasolene engine broke the dismal silence, and marvelling that modern progress had penetrated even to this lost region, we awaited its api)roach with some curiosity.
The sound drew nearer, and we made out a roomy looking cabin cruiser which ])ulled u]) to a small pier nearby, and a sjirightly looking shade leaped ashore. With a glad hail we recognized Hendrix, while from several other forms on deck came greetings in various well-known voices. \\ e hesitated not an instant in accepting an invitation to come aboard, and were soon renewing acquaintances with men we had not seen since tliat memorable (lav in June, 191. t, when some hundred of us were turned loose on long suft'erin<r human- ity. Xaturally there was much to be told, and llendrix, by \irtue of his being cai)tain, told his storv first.

He, it seemed, upon getting his sheepskin safely tuclced away, had descended uiion New York City, where, not finding sufficient outlet in the practice of medicine for his tre- mendous energy, he entered the i)olitical held, and as a result of his strenuous activities, completely extinguished the fame of certain hitherto well-known gentlemen of the genus politician. In these exploits he was ably seconded by Lewis, who also emigrated to that hysterical metropolis, and who, owing to his thorough training in party organization during his senior year at college, was admirably fitted for the job. Consequently, between them, quite a number of exciting pages were added to the lurid history of that city.
Some two years previous to this narrative, he got his start for the great river tliru an injudicious mixture of chronic hepatitis and after-dinner speeches, and took his depar- ture leaving Lewis alone on the job. Reaching the ferry, he immediately began to pick Haws in its management, and by his comments mussed up the none too amiable disposi- tion of its i)roprietor very badly, the result being that he was hnally invited by that worthy gentleman to swim if the accommodations didn't suit him. To this, with his characteristic emphasis, Hendrix replied that he'd "be damned if he would," and further stated that he'd show him how to run a decent ferry. He then sent a "hellogram" to Lewis to dispatch him a good motor-boat immediately, and made himself comfortable on the bank until its arrival.
In due time the boat arrived, accompanied by Linhardt and Charlie Myers, they hav- ing gracefully made their exit from the earthly stage by the joy-ride route while split- ting holes in the atmosphere with the latter's Ford, a graduation present to which he had stuck faithfully through the many vicissitudes of his career.
The three of them proceeded to launch their bark, and explore the unknown waters, returning at intervals to the ferry landing where they picked up several old classmates who hap])ened to be waiting there. Thus we found they had collected cpite a merry partv, and were leading a convivial existence on the border of shadow land, and it was our good fortune to become members of this crew.
At the close of Hendrix's story, I happened to mention the name of John Robinson, when in a squeaky voice, a dried-up little shade back in a corner said "present," and there he was not a bit changed since I had last seen him years ago, and still ready to discuss the respective merits of A\'illiam Jennings Bryan as opposed to the eminent Ikill Moose pro- moter. I found upon inc[uiring that soon after graduating he had inherited from his pa- ternal ancestor the political burdens of Ivanhoe, N. C, and during his stay on earth had succeeded in putting that hitherto unknown village on the map. He had finally received his conge in the shape of an attack of pneumonia while lecturing to his admiring constitu- ents on the evils of intemperance.

We were now ])ursuing an erratic course u]) the river, and before I had a chance to meet anv more of my shipmates, our attention was diverted by tlie ap|)earance of the an- cient ferry laboriously making its way to the other shore. As it drew near, what was our astonishment at seeing Kerkovv seated in the stern blithely digging eels with a boat-hook, those members of the finny tribe being unable to resist the glow emanating from his fiery dome of thought. We hailed him, and while our pilot playfully circled around the slow- moving craft to the evident disgust of ])()or old Charon, Roy deftly caught and clambered U|) a rope tossed him, and our ])artv received another addition. His arrival, it seemed, was due to a chronic inability to refrain from making a hit with the fair sex, displaying a fine disregard for conjugal ties, the result being a bullet through his tender heart de- s])atched by a too solicitous better half.
I '.ill Jenkins told us that Snaky Jenerette, having settled in North Carolina, had won great fame by jjcrfecting a pro])hylactic vaccine against the hook-worm which practically eliminated that si)rightlv nematode from his State.
He also said that Carl Sanders, during the time he could si)are from his ])ractice, was pursuing an exhaustive investigation relative to the micro-organism responsible for acute infective five-hundreditis. but so far had not succeeded in isolating it.
Turning from this conversation, I met lUackmer, who still retained as a shade his gen- erous ])r()portions, and was jovial as ever. During his sojourn on earth he had accom- plished much in the field of Neurology, and had ]iassed out three years before from over- work.
I now jfroceeded to inquire concerning various members of our uld class, and each member of the crew contributed some item of information.
Sima, in connection with his practice, had o])ened a studio of ])hysical culture which proved so successful $.f$$ from a ])ecuniary standpoint that he eventually devoted all his time to it, and when last heard from had given up medicine altogether.
Dorsey, several years after graduation, became head of an institution for the train- ing of young women as nurses, and after becoming engaged to sixteen sei)arate females at dififerent periods, was finally caught and forced b\- one of them to commit niatrimonv. lie was still on earth enjoying life at the head of a large familv.
Kelly settled in Connecticut and grew famous as an obstetrician, his long suit being the ])erformance of a c;esarean section for a retained jjlacenta. Fritz attained great suc- cess in research work, gaining world-wide i)r()minence by demonstrating the elTicacv of carbon dioxide as a resuscitating agent through his extensive experiments on the feline gender. Ziegler went back to .Manchester, Aid., and b\- his logical oratorv. got himself elected to Congress, where he |)ro\e(l a valuable adjunct as the increased size of the rec-

ords of that deliberative body attested. Diener emigrated to the capital of the Ottoman Empire, where he made such a hit with the ladies that he was immediately appointed phy- sician-in-chief to the Sultan's harem. Diener's long suit was playing on public sympathy.
Lowry became afliliated with Dr. Howard A. Kelly in his eternal war against vice, and when that stout foe of evil went to his ultimate reward, became his successor. Since that time he had spent his life doing missionary work among medical students. Moses, after receiving a license to hand out dojie to his fellow man, set sail for Tipperary, his birthplace, and had labored long and success full\- to ui)lift the morals of the sons of Erin, es])ecially warning them against the lure of bright lights, particularly if they ha])pened to be of a crimson hue. Pat Durkin, having much leisure during his tirst year out of college, died of oedema of the brain, while attempting to memorize the Encyclopedia Brittanica.
Grossman, Studebaker and "Voung" Miller founded a medical college in the wilds of Pennsylvania, and ground out dii)lomas for several years, until finally the A. M. A. got wise, and their prosperous factory was shut down. Grossman then went out to the Mayo's clinic, where he immediately took charge, and had since been conducting it, while the other two retired to enjoy the fruits of their labors.
At this point the conversation was interrupted by a scramble and a splash astern, and upon investigation it was found that poor old Moffett had fallen asleep again, and had been plunged overboard by a lurch of the boat. In the darkness he could not be located, and he is probably enjoying undisturbed repose on the river bottom, and Heaven's blessings left him alone. I now observed that we were approaching what appeared to be the opposite shore of the river of darkness, and soon a flickering light seemed to overspread the whole horizon, while the atmosphere grew sensibly warmer. We drew near, and as the boat nosed its way to the bank Charlie Myers made fast a rope, while Hendrix appeared at the cabin door carrying several cloaks of asbestos which at his discretion we donned, and followed as he led the way towards the distant glow. He was evidently quite familiar with the way, and soon brought us to a scene which beggars description. In the lurid glare which seemed to come from nowhere in particular, and which was yet everywhere, I could see numerous black shapes flitting about, while others stood or sat in groups com- fortably talking. Our conductor did not stop here, however, but led us to a large edifice apparently cut from the solid rock, from inside of which came a sound as of a large con- course of people. A\'e entered the portal, and I saw a tremendous hall well lighted by red flames which shed their dusky glare from niches in the wall.
At the lower end of this room, seated on a sort of throne, was a figure in whom I had no difticulty in recognizing the ruler of the nether regions of Hell, and I must confess it was with no little misgiving that I approached nearer. He looked up as we entered, and on
107
<l.ls/NQf-^ 'f'^
seeing us greeted Hendrix heartily, seeming to be on the best of terms with him. and in the introduction and conversation which followed I speedily forgot my fears.
The monarch, it seemed, had been in ill health, and learning that Buie had lately ar- rived had ordered that famous surgeon to examine and treat him. This he had done with such success that the title of surgeon-in-chief of the Infernal Kingdom, and private phy- sician to His Satanic Majesty was immediately conferred on him. All this had occurred just pre\'ious to our arrival, and we now saw that gentleman vested with his authority, and having as his assistants and health warden, Ross, Hay and 15111 Sloan, the latter had just received his appointment, and as we entered was saying "thank you, doctor," an ex- pression 1 had heard him use so frequently while at college. lUit I'uie's lUill did not stand in Hell.
During a pause in the general conversation, T heard from a far corner of the room, from which since our entrance had issued a peculiar rattling sound at intervals, a voice saying in low accents "shoot the two-bits," and another replied with "come on you seven." I inquired the meaning of this cryi)tic conversation, and was told by an imj) standing near that I had overheard ])art of a demonstration in (Osteology which was constantly conducted by several eminent siiecialists in that line, lieing desirous of further enlightenment, I went over to observe closer, and was somewhat surprised to see Lackey, Goldman and I'urleson all crouched in characteristic attitude earnestlv expounding the intricacies of that absorbing subject to a select bunch of eager young devils.
The clinic ceased at my a])proach, and after greeting these worthy exponents of sci- ence, I inc[uired how fate had treated them since I saw them last. Lackey, it seemed, had settled in the South, where he became a specialist in raising i)eanuts. His fondness for that humble tuber being so notorious. I was not surjirised that he should desire an unlim- ited sujjjily. Goldman had ])racticed for a few years, but later went into the undertaking- business, thinking it a shame to waste the large ([uantity of coffin nails he had accumu- lated in his career at college. lUirleson held the chair of Osteology for a number of years in a ])rominent university, until he finallv succumbed to a chronic prostatitis.
I learned from these gentlemen that Krantz and Alerkel had gone over to the Father- land immediately after graduation, and rendered valiant service to the Kaiser in liis light for "Deutschland ueber alles." After the war they settled down over there, each marry- ing a fraulcin, and were still living comfortably. Thev also told me that Tonolla obtained an appointment in the University Hos])ital. but did not stay long, as he created such a flood of the succulent juice of l'ii)er lleidsick that the building was almost washed from its foundation. Leaving there, he started out for himself, and became a busv and succes-^fnl doctor, his one hobby bciirg to use u]) three pings of his favorite brand dailv. Lipnick had become an ( )steo|)ath, and wlien last heard from was stuch ing Christian Science with a

view to taking up tliat art also, bridges, having acquired a strangle liold on the sum of luunan kncnvledge, naturally became famous, and was still busily engaged in the duties of his profession. Armstrong and Street l)ecame joint i)roprietors of a hospital for the cure of various psychic disorders, and were very successful. Their visiting staff was composed of Sharkey, Cohen and "Judge" English, the latter of whom have uj) a professorship in Grossman's medical college to fill this capacity.
Having learned this much, and seeing th.at m\- informants were desirous of resuming their task, 1 now took my leave. As 1 crossed the room, a voice halted me, saying "Want to buy a stethoscope? I have one that is just what, you need," and turning, saw (iagnon still following his old habits. I shook hands with him and, after assuring him that J hardly needed anything in that line at present, f)nce more approached the group sur- r(junding His Majesty. Here I noted several old friends, and made haste to renew ac- cjuaintances with Shannon, Waft', Riordan and Patrick.
Shannon, so I learned, owing to his ability to depict objects with such life-like real- ism, soon f(jund that the good honest dollars rolled in faster from that branch of science than from his previously chosen career. Conseciucntly, for twenty-rtve years he had been retained Ijy a well-known tobacco firm to scatter the likeness of the male of the genus Bos over the landscape, until comi)elled to give up his ;esthetic occupation by drowning in one of his paint buckets.
Riordan became the surgeon in charge of a large amusement park \\\) North in which he was a principal stockholder. His duty was to ride around the scenic railway in a i)ri- vate car and repair all unfortunate injured while enjoying that inncnmous i)astime. .\ll went well with him until he thcnightlessly stood in the path of an approaching car, and thu- went to fulfill his destiny.
Patrick became a medical missionary, and s])ent his life toiling among the savages of the dark continent until his labors were brought to an abrupt end by his playing the leading role at a cannibal bancjuet, after which those benighted gentlemen solemnly ab- jured the use of missionaries in any style as a variation of their menu.
Waft" at first had little to say, and was non-committal when asked concerning his past. Howe\er, 1 finally gathered that early in his career the little blind god had successfully bom- barded his heart, but when the fragments of that organ were offered to the object of his devotions, that lady further siiattered them by announcing that she had already pieced to- gether one such wreck, and didn't feel ecjual to the job. Whereupon jioor Joe became a misogynist, and until the time of his demise some years later refused to treat the female of the species in his practice. W) such an extent did he carry this antipathy that even the sign which graced his office window read: "DISEASE OF MEN ONLY."

In the conversation which ensued I learned that Shafer, Williams and Etzler each settled in his home town and became staid ])hysicians of the rural type. Naunian landed a soft berth in Springfield, Mass., by reason of his pull with lire engine authorities. Mike Egan became an opthalmologist, and made history in that line. Rice and deOue- vedo became affiliated with a large Eastern Hospital, the former being driver of the ambu- lance, while the latter was employed to look after the morals of the nurses. Scjuire Jus- tice went back to the mountains of West \'irginia, where he devoted his time to raising little sc^uires at home, and the devil in general among his neighbors. Stringer, having con- siderable influence in naval circles, became a surgeon in that branch of the service. So successful was he that at present his mail bore the imposing address, "Rear Admiral John Stringer, M. D." Woodland was drawn by some magnetic influence to Sparrows Point, Md., and established himself there. Schreiber and Rali)h Jenkins entered the Hopkins Ho.spital, where they rapidly usurped the i)laces of such men as Fiimey and Bloodgood.
Lloyd Meyers added to his bankroll by writing a guidebook to the various free- lunch counters of l')altimore, with copious marginal notes and advice as to their merits by 'J'ommy Calladine. They being thoroughlv equip])ed for the task by their painstaking in- vestigation of the subject. Kerkow entered the gastro-enterological field, and established his reputation by photographing with the X-ray the peristaltic wave taking place in the stomach of the Cimex Lectularius each time that inhabitant of student boarding house satisfied his hunger.
'Phe Johnson twins settled in Philadelphia, where they practiced together, and devo- ted their s])are time to the advancement of Y. M. C. A. work. Massanet became a sculptor, at which I was not surprised, as his creative genius in that line was well known even at college. Rush settled in the country, and after several years took up agriculture as a means of sui)plying enough to keep the cook tnisv. McReynolds went back to his home in the W est, where he became famous for his regular attendance at church, and the varie- gated cuss-words w^ith which he enlivened his conversation.
At this ])()int Hendrix requested permission from His Majesty to retire, which being granted, our ])arty withdrew, and quickl\- ])assing through the scenes described above, made our way to the boat. Here we were accosted by a long-legged shade who, on closer inspection, iiroved to be Prickett. He told us he had been s])ecialist in dietetics until fate, in the shai)e of chronic indigestion ac(|uirc(l \>\ a strict adherence to his own rules of diet, removed him.
We now re-embarked, taking I'rickell along, and as we swung out into the ri\er and
settled down comfortably, he told us of se\eral his departure.

Shipley married the lady of his choice immediately after graduation, and settled in the jvingles of Anne Arundel Count}-. Here he led a jirecarious existence owing to his ina- bility to collect from ])atients as the undertaker always heat him to it. Lane went over to London, and gave his famous uncle some valuable jiointers in surgery. .\L W. Myers, the i)hilosopher, settled down comfortably in Western Maryland, where he grew fat and wealthy owing to his skill as a diagnostician. Itennett occui)ied a large slice of the lime- light through his ability in the gentle art of pugilism. Lob Hill married an heiress and was kept so busy spending the income thus ac(|uired that he had no time left for the medi- cal world. Lanich went to Pittsburgh, and joined the Salvation .-\rm\-, while 1 lundley stayed in Baltimore and became superintendent of the University Hosjjital. (ones went back to Snowhill, Aid., and entered heartily into the fight to exclude John liarleycorn from that dis- trict, and at present was still a firm antagonist of the "Demon Rum."' (ireenberg, by means of a specially [latented stationarv thermometer, c(jnclusively demonstrated the fal- lacy of i)ureperal sepsis. Wilson and Ray ojjcned uj) a sanatorium, where they cured every known disease by means of hydrotherapy and suggestion.
( )ur attention was now attracted bv the increased sjieed of the craft, fctr which there seemed to be no explanation. Faster, and still faster, it sped heedless of helm or engine, and suddenly rounding a bend in the river we saw ahead a mighty preci])ice, while a thun- derous roar filled the air. On we rushed, now almost on the brink of the fearful cataract,
now poised at its edge, and the next instant a sickening ])lunge, a crash, and
amid the general confusion which followed my falling off a bench in the am])hitheatrc, I heard Professor Winslow calling the roll.

LASS histories are generally given over to the various idiosyncrasies of the fellow students — those who fmd time to get up in the early morning to at- tend the hrst lecture, and perhajis a few words to the chap who finds the "hav" a mighty fine place to rest his weary bones after a night well spent in lookmg over the various entertaining parlors that nuist surely he found in an enterprising city.
Everywhere, one will come in contact with both kinds. Not only in college life will we get a little of each, but no matter what business you undertake, you are going to find the happy-go-lucky fellow and the personage who struggles every mo- ment, and dwarfs his vision by following but one idea and failing to reason out why such things should come to pass.
This is a mighty fine world to live in — we realize all the more as each day we see the sun shine — something altogether dififerent from what they have in other countries, liut the pessimist can even find fault with the sun — he abhors it for it oftimes melts his collar and causes waste of energy in putting a new one on.
Both the pessimists and the optimists up to this year have had a great deal of friends in the present Junior Class. However, a change has been wrought, for the gathering now holding down the list are the finest set of live- wire optimists one could wish to see. I'.ut 'twas not always thus. The preceding year when the present batch were Sophs, how they did pour out efi:'usions of ]iessimistic calibre all during the year.
However, there were some who found some little rays of optimism floating round and they eagerly grasped them, evidently taking into consideration the fact that they could be gathered in for nothing and, there was a plentiful supply for all concerned.
A large number of the present class, styling themselves as Juniors, have put in three years with their books at the University, while others have found their way fmm
various other institutes of learning. And the conglomeration has had the tendency to work wonders, for more co-operation has been noted during the present session than the other two.
In writing a class history many are i)rone to follow the same trend as the pre- vious wielder of the pen. It is apparent to me that one. if they would jiroduce the best expressions must perforce do so with a mind devoid of the stereotyped utter- ances made in the past.
The present Junior Class has seemingly started on the way to make good. From mere boys they have started to act the part of grown-up men. And their departure from habits of previous years is taken as a good sign.
Before closing I must extend my congratulations to the officers who took care of the welfare of the third-year students during the year : President, Bernard J. Ferry ; Vice-President, Samuel O. Pruitt : Secretary, E. P. Thomas: Treasurer, N. \\'. A'oss; Sergeant-at-Arms, Frank E. Mason; Class Historian, Henry L. Bolen ; Artist, J!. ^V. Grout : Honor Committee, Chairman, Cecil Rigby, George Bowden, J. E. Cudd, John Evans and Harrison W'ellman.
And now fellow students in wishing y(TU good luck in the future let me cjuote you the lines of Scott :
"And better had they ne'er been born. Who read to doul)t, or read to scorn."

TIK class lias once again chosen mc t>) clironicle tlicir history for the sec- ond year at the University of Alaryhmd. While 1 highly appreciate the honor bestowed upon me, yet 1 could wish that they had made more history l)y some method, even though it had taken the form of hazing the Freshman, and by this 1 do not mean that 1 am in favor of hazing: far be it, when I am called upon to write this historx- anything would seem l)crmissible if it only furnished matei ial.
We arrived in llaltimore about the fir.^t of ( )ctobcr. Some came earlier and some later, b'veryone looked as though he had been much benefited by the summer vacation and had been completely restored from the state in which he had been placed by the \'ery "strenuous" work of the Freshman year. ( )nr first interest was to find out who had returned and who had "fallen by the wayside" in the interval between the first and second laj) in the race for the title of .M. D. Our curiosity in this directitm was not al- layed for several days, owing to the fact that it took many of our i)romising medicos to be, the greater part of a week to tear theiuselves away from the girl at home. Finally thev drifted in, and on tallying u]) we found that \ery few of our hist year bunch had failed to return or luake the v^oph. Class, and that the diminution in the size of the class occasioned by tlicir absence was more than offset by the number of new men that came to us from other schools.
We had resolved during our first year that we would abstain from hazing the l^'resh- men, for the reason that the jjrevious Soph. Class had not molested us when we entered. And let me add that this resoKe was strictly adhered to. Had we not i)reviously re- solved to let the Freshies alone, we could have done nothing else but let them go for an- other reason, for when we came to look for the Freshmen to see how the class "sized up," we had difficulty in fmding them at all due to their scarcity, which was due to the raised reciuirements. Certainly, as Dr. llolland remarked, we could not liave jumi)ed on a class less than one-third our size.
We soon settled down to work and things were running smoothlv in a very short time. After the laj)se of a few weeks we decided to elect officers for the year. There was quite a lively election, and the following oflicers were elected: President, Robert S. C,. Welch; A'ice-President, F. H. Merrick; Secretary, J. j. Gilsen ; Treasurer, j. G. Skilling; Sergeant-at-Arms, L Sorin. The Honor Committee — Chairman, J. Holmes, A. Mulcahey, F. E. Yost, E. D. Fay, O. ?,. r.onner.
Every one of the officers elected are royal good fellows who have loyally attended to their duties and we were lucky to have made such a good selection f)f officers.
After things started running smoothly the order of the day has been lots of work, and of course some fun occasionally, for you know that "all work and no i)lav will make Jack a dull boy." Although our class has shown that it is com])osed of live ones and for this reason may not be the i)et of all the Prof's., yet take this tij): vou can just bet your last dol- lar that the Class of '17 will be right there when the roll is called for promotion into the junior Class.

ll£X all is wrong, and the mirror of life reflects e\erytliing with a shadow; when the camera of time takes only blanks instead of beautiful pictures; when you are tempted to say, Oh! what's the use, it's all a gamble anyway — then comes the thought which has saved every man at some time. You ask me what, and I answer every woman.
Here's to e\ery woman. She is beautiful to some one. Every woman has a mission of good. E\'ery woman fulfills that mission, however meagre it may seem. Every woman is the greatest of all creations. Every woman is the most perfect thing which e.xists. Everv woman is what makes life worth while. Every woman is that which elevates the human race above the rest of creation. Every woman gives the desire for truth to all.
Here's to every woman, the good, the beautiful, and the sublime to everv man.
There is born in every indi\idual an innate desire for truth and he follows this desire just so long as it leads along the line of least resistance. But when the ])athway becomes difficult and the way of life hard, he begins to deviate. The e.xi)ression, "AH men are born liars" is incorrect but that all become liars is
125

sad reality. It makes no difference what vocation you may follow, the time will come when you will let what you call circumstances override your better self and you, for fear of consequences, fail to do that which you know to be right. To be a liar a man does not necessarily tell a lie. To conceal a truth which he knows should be made known, to fail to denounce a wrong which he knows to exist, and which, in his heart he knows he should denounce, is more of a lie than the actual telling of one. In telling a lie an individual harms only himself. In concealing a truth or failure to denounce a wrong, when in a position to do so, one harms society. He adds one more cog in the wheels of ignorance and wrong which civilization must overcome. Insignificant in itself, perhaps, yet added to all the others, it keei)s back the dawn of enlightenment for countless ages.
This excuses no man, nor was it written with that intention, it makes no apology for any one. But hopes to show you that things are not what they seem. Many pages of this book would be as radically changed as Poe changed his immortal " Hells'" or O'Hara mended his famous mortal elegy. The "Bivouac of the Dead," were it not so. The truth will out, give it time. It was not to be in our time and in this connection. We can only hope.
\\ hat a word is hope. Take every attribute from man and leave him hope and yet he may become a factor in the world's progress. Give him everything else and he will be nothing without ho])e. It is the one word that defines itself. So we leave you with the hope that in the future the writers for the L'ni\ersity of Maryland Year ISook will "be sure they are right and then go ahead.'"

Here's to the best ]ial I e\er had.

AUlES-and gentlemen, liaxe a look! Tlicy arc here! Xo charges are asked for what yuu see. It is free an.d open to aU. ^'oii nnist walk up closely and inspect the paintini^s thoroughly. W'e offer for your inspection the most stupendous aggregation of mod- ern monstrosities wliich the world has today. Neither time, ex- pen ^e, talent, (jr ])r(jfanit\- h.a\e been spared in making this ])ro- duction the most ennobling, in>truclive, classical and comical
admixture of the curious beings of earth ever displayed before the eyes of a
gazing American re|)ublic.
( )bser\e John, the tapewoim charmer — notice closely the contour of his skull as com])ared to his legs, llave you noticed the glamour and brilliancy of the little black ca]) which sits at the ape.x of his "nut?" .A. wonderful specimen we i)resent. lie is about to tish fcjr hidden theories in tlie stomach and gut. Ne.xt week we shall do our best to have our friend. Sir Lane, of London, here and let the two argue the justihcation in remoN'ing the colon, lie has succeeded in cal- culating the definite number of bacteria which enter the bcxly each day, and can now compute for you the definite number of days in which vou have to live. Uabers and all its colossal gatherings was never in his class.
Pardon the abrupt change. The tajteworm charmer has gone because the boys failed to cla]) their hands and kick their feet. Dorsev, the fat bo\-, is now before ytm. Hoys, do not hesitate to ha\e the glass — we are sure it is genuine G. I). S., and his sui>i»ly is unlimited. In a few minutes the fat bov shall trv to entertain _\ou along the lines of cheristry, wh.ich shall have to do with the con- xersion (jf the muscle in a rigor mortis state into one which shall expel all the bacteria from the stomach thereby conserving the functicjn of the stomach. It will only last for an hour, gentlemen, from whence our distinguished friend shall thence proceed to ^\'hite Sulphur S]n-ings that he may bathe his hard arteries once niore back to infant life.
However, we shall have to ])ass from the glorious to the sublime. To show you that our production is not a fake, kindly glance at the ])ersonality. Look at the large, fat, strong arm which bedecks those gold-christened shoulder blades I Have you ever in your life seen the equal of that which we are giving vou for only ten cents? Ladies and gentlemen, he is by far the most adroit and .skilful opera- tor that we have in our whole school. Even Aesculapius and Galen have trav- elled thousands of miles that they might see the wonderful work of art whi<-h he produces in the Arena, with a knife and a couple of pair of scissors. And

Celsus, thou piloter of all our Gods, please come to our rescue and stand between the battle van and Uncle "Tim." lUit Celsus, thou who art the angel of minis- tering good, remember that Uncle Tim is in a class by himself. A\'hy ! All ye Gods, this same knife and scal])el has accomplished more here than all other men who follow his line of work, and the beauty about it is that he never bawls the student out with an acrid exclamation : don't drag Doctor — so, so ,
Fourthly, we shall have to come to him who blows the horn and collect.^ the tickets. He is the man who keeps the wdiole show on financial as well as moral footing. ( )ur beloved fVofessor, Randolph W'inslow, is the most pious one among the whole bunch, and one of the most h(jnorable men we have ever known. His personality is ])erfect. His manner in presenting his work is grand, and, last but not least, to know him is nothing less than to love him. And, by the way, Charlie Mayo will tell you todav that he, Prof. W'inslow, is a .skilful operator in his own class. The student's friend is he.
Undauntedly, we come to the Magician — "Peggy" has always been a star in his own class, but one thing we shall always have to thank him for, is the fact that he did not play favorite among men under him. Though the heavens fall, he is capable of ])roving to you that a left accipito posterior position is easily converted into a right occepito anterior position, whereby the child's life
