TO  TESTUDO,  THE  TERRAPIN 

.  .  .  in  whose  sturdy 
bronze  body  the  Maryland  spirit  is  incarnate.  The  editors 
feel  it  is  fitting  that  this  handbook,  issued  for  the  guidance  of 
the  freshmen,  the  newest  element  of  the  University,  shoidd  honor 
the  most  revered  object  on  the  campus. 

Because  he  represents  the  finest  in  the  University's  athletics, 
dramatics,  music,  and  other  activities  which  are  an  integral 
part  of  college  life  .  .  .  because  he  is  a  symbol  of  Maryland's 
past  glories  and  ftdure  greatness  .  .  .  the  editors  humbly  dedicate 
this  book  to  TESTUDO, 


^OAj&UM^ 


An  opportunity  to  get  a  college  education  is  a  great  re- 
sponsibility at  any  time,  but  today  in  this  war-torn  world 
when  the  United  States  is  enduring  the  stress  and  strain  of 
national  defense,  the  person  who  has  the  opportunity  faces 
even  greater  responsibility. 

Just  a  few  years  ago,  freshmen  entering  college  faced  four 
3'ears  of  secure  study,  and  then  the  ordeal  of  hunting  a  life's 
work.  But  you,  the  freshmen  of  1941-42,  are  entering  when 
nothing  is  secure.  So  3^ou  cannot  afford  to  waste  any  time 
in  vain  and  idle  pleasures.  You  must  make  every  hour 
count! 

Perhaps  the  transition  from  preparatorj^  school  to  college 
may  seem  difficult;  perhaps  yoiu"  instructors  are  more  ex- 
acting, and  your  studies  harder,  but  if  you  will  remember 
that  college  is  the  last  step  before  facing  the  world,  and 
that  it  must  prepare  you  for  the  world's  hard  knocks,  your 
studies  will  seem  simpler  and  more  sensible. 

Studies  and  books  are  the  reason  for  a  college,  but  thej' 
are  not  the  end  of  it.  To  be  successful,  a  college  must  emit 
a  graduate  who  is  well-rounded,  and  able  to  face  life;  studies 
alone  will  not  do  this.  For  this  reason,  the  University, 
through  the  Student  Government  Association,  aids  in  extra- 
curricular activities  which  bring  social  contacts,  and  ex- 
periences not  found  in  books. 

A  caution,  which  will  be  unheeded  in  many  cases,  is  not 
to  let  the  social  side  of  school  assume  too  much  importance. 
Studies  are  still  the  important  thing,  and  should  come  first. 

Remember  that  you  are  becoming  part  of  a  great,  and 
fast  growing  University.  Grow  with  it  and  learn  its  history 
and  traditions,  its  songs  and  yells,  and  its  students. 

Last  of  all,  but  most  important,  remember  that  you  are 
an  American.

PRESIDENT  BYRD  GREETS  THE  FROSH 


It  is  a  pleasure, 
through  the  pages 
of  the  "M"  Book, 
to  extend  greetings 
to  all  students  of 
the  ["niversity  at 
tlie  beginning  of 
this  new  year.  We 
are  glad,  as  always, 
to  see  back  on  the 
campus  old  stu- 
dents, and  all  of  u.s 
are  anxious  to  get 
acquainted  with 
now  students  so 
that  we  may  help 
them  feel  at  home, 
because  they  are 
now  part  of  the 
University. 

New  students,  as  well  as  old,  will  have  opportunities  for 
many  extra-curricular  activities  and  all  should  enter  into 
such  of  these  activities  as  appeal  to  them  and  which  do  not 
interfere  with  their  scholastic  work.  Contacts,  through  such 
activities,  help  to  build  the  student  into  a  well-rounded  man 
or  woman. 

Every  member  of  the  Faculty  is  anxious  to  help  you  make 
a  success  of  your  university  career.  Do  not  hesitate  to  call 
on  any  of  as  whenever  you  feel  we  can  be  of  assistance  in 
meeting  your  problems. 


Dr.  Harry  C.  Byrd 


10 


After  the  present  national  emergency  is  over,  trained 
leadership  will  be  needed  as  never  before  to  solve  the  difficult 
problems  that  always  present  themselves  in  the  transition 
from  an  over-stimulated  economy,  such  as  we  now  have,  to 
so-called  "normalcy".  It  is  to  the  students,  like  yourselves, 
now  in  college,  that  the  Nation  must  look  to  assume  a  large 
share  of  this  responsibility;  and  on  the  extent  to  which  you 
make  the  best  of  your  present  opportunities  will  depend 
your  fitness  to  meet  your  responsibilities  and  to  achieve 
success  in  life. 

To  each  student  in  tlie  Univeisity,  may  I  say: 
"My  office  door  is  always  open  to  you.     Walk  in  whenever 
you  wish." 

Sincerely, 


<M.  e.  liiyid

Acting  Dean  Reid  Welcomes  You 

A  sincere  wel- 
come to  both  in- 
coming students 
and  to  returning 
upper  classmen. 
We  are  delighted  to 
meet  the  old  stu- 
dents upon  the 
Campus  again  and 
look  forward  with 
genuine  pleasure  to 
an  association  with 
those  who  are  en- 
tering the  Univer- 
sity for  the  first 
time. 

We  want  you  to 
feel  that  Maryland 
is  your  l^niversity 
and  that  you  are  a 
part  of  it.  You  will 
be  expected  not 
onlj'  to  make  an 
acceptable  academ- 
ic record,  but  to 
engage  in  whole- 
.some  recreation  and  to  participate  actively  in  extra-curricular 
activities.  Loj^al,  capable,  enthusiastic  leadership  and  clear 
logical  thinking  are  needed  more  now  during  these  difficult 
and  confused  times  than  ever  in  the  past,  and  this  is  your 
opportunity  to  develop  that  type  of  leadership. 

It  is  my  wish  that  new  students  will  feel  free  to  call  upon 
faculty  members  or  upon  upper  classmen  for  advice,  and 
I  assure  both  old  and  new  students  that  you  are  cordially 
invited  to  call  at  my  office  at  any  time  to  discuss  any  prob- 
lems that  vou  mav  have.

DEAN  STAMP  ADDS  HER  MESSAGE 


Dear  Freshmen : 

You  who  come  to 
our  University 
campus  this  fall 
start  your  college 
career  facing  the 
greatest  crisis  the 
world  has  ever 
known.  Democracy 
is  being  threatened 
and  each  and  every 
one  of  you  is  called 
upon  to  help  defend 
America  and  help 
win  the  Battle  of 
Production.  In  mo- 
bilizing the  nation 
to  meet  this  crisis 
we  must  have  three 
lines  of  defense — 
first,  sound  homes; 
second,team  work  in 
industry; and  third, 
a  United  Nation. 
We  cannot  produce 
weapons  and  supplies  needed  for  total  defense  unless  we  have 
all  three.  We  must  have  the  will  and  the  belief  of  the  people 
in  order  to  win.  Maryland  can  and  will  do  its  share  in 
defending  America.  We  need  your  help  as  individuals  and 
the  University  will  point  the  wa}^  toward  the  services  you 
can  render  your  country.  I  know  no  matter  how  hard  the 
task  you  will  always  be  ready  and  will  gladly  make  sacrifices, 
display  courage  and  do  your  part  for  a  united  nation  and 
help  keep  "free  people  free." 

Sincerelv  vours, 


Dean  Adele  H.  Stamp

MAJOR  GEARY  F.  EPPLEY  AND 


Major  Geary  F.  Kppley 


Major  Geary  F.  Kppley  is  Dean  of  Men  and  Director  of 
Athletics,  but  right  now  during  the  crisis,  he  is  serving  his 
tour  of  duty  at  Fort  Meade.  Nevertheless  Major  Eppley's 
influence  may  still  be  felt  on  the  campus,  and  when  he  has 
leave,  "Swede"  can  be  seen  around  the  hill.

Lieutenant  Ralph  1.  Williams 


Lieutenant  Ralph  I.  Williams,  on  active  duty  as  an 
instructor  in  the  military  department  at  Maryland,  will 
continue  to  have  a  finger  in  nearly  everything  that  is  going 
on  around  the  University.  But  during  working  houis,  when 
Uncle  Sam  is  the  boss,  he  will  be  all  armv.

"Hail,  Alma  Mater 
Hail  to  thee  Maryland 
Steadfast  in  loyalty 
For  thee  we  stand. " 

In  tliese  words  are  echoed  the  sentiments  of  every  student 
of  the  University  of  Maryland,  past,  present,  and  futuie. 
The  Students  of  the  past  who  have  graduated  cherish  many 
tender  memories  of  their  loving  Alma  Mater;  those  of  the 
present  are  striving  to  make  in  the  University  more  improvo- 
iiients  that  will  be  enjoyed  by  those  of  the  future. 

When  the  College  of  Medicine  was  founded  in  Baltimore 
in  1807,  the  history  of  the  University  of  Maryland  began. 
Ikapidly  expanding,  the  University  added  a  School  of  Law 
in  1823,  a  School  of  Dentistry  in  1882,  a  School  of  Nursing 
in  1889,  and  in  1904,  absorbed  the  Maryland  College  of 
Pharmacy. 

The  Maryland  State  College  was  chartered  in  1856  under 
the  name  of  the  Maryland  Agriculture  College,  the  second 
agriculture  college  in  the  Western  Hemisphere.  In  1862, 
the  College  became  in  part  a  State  institution  with  the 
passage  of  the  Uand  Grant  Act  by  the  Congress  of  the  United 
States. 

By  an  act  of  the  State  Legislature  in  1920,  the  University 
of  Maryland  was  merged  with  the  Maryland  State  College, 
and  the  resulting  institution  was  given  the  name,  the  Uni- 
versity of  Maryland.

THINGS  FOR  FRESHMEN  TO  KNOW 

Maryland  University  is  one  of  the  fastest  growing  schools 
in  the  east,  and  offers  a  complete  and  well  rounded  program 
academically  and  socially. 

Well  educated  leaders  are  needed  in  these  trying  times, 
and  digging  in  books,  and  carrying  an  eager  brain  around 
does  as  much  good  for  your  country  as  digging  ditches  and 
carrying  a  rifle.  Many  of  the  draftees  would  trade  places 
with  you  gladly. 

Grades  may  not  mean  everj^thing,  but  the  person  with 
a  high  average  usually  learns  more  and  gets  more  out  of  his 
college  education. 

The  freshman  year  is  most  important. 

Everyone  was  a  "rat"  or  a  "rabbit"  once,  but  most  persons 
outgrow  this  stage.     Take  cheer,  frosh! 

Every  smooth  freshman  should  know  that: 

Cutting  classes  is  dangerous  .  .  .  expensive  just  before  or 
after  a  holiday. 

It  takes  at  least  ten  minutes  to  walk  from  ye  old  drug  store 
to  a  class,  and  at  least  twenty  to  drive. 

19 


The  librar}'  is  a  place  to  read,  study,  and  research,  not 
make  dates. 

Every  footstep  kills  976  blades  of  grass.  Stay  on  the 
walks  and  save  the  976. 

The  "Hello  Habit"  is  an  honor  and  a  privilege.  You'll 
find  this  out  when  you  want  to  meet  Susie  or  Johnny.

{  ^  ^H  f'ome    you    to    our 

'■  "%  campus   and    want 

..^-  L  .  ^  y<^u     to     lose     no 

'  t^-'"'/  time  in  sharing 

;  ^  '    •'  with  us  our  many 

'■',  activities. 

-  -     -  It  is  my  pleasure 

as  a  representative 
of  the  Student  Gov- 
crnmentAssociation 
to  tender  some  sug- 
gestions which  I 
hope  will  help  you 
launch  a  successful 
and  enjoyable  col- 
lege career. 

As   soon    as   you 
Kill  Hoi  brook  have  become  orient- 

ed to  your  academic 
routnic  (it's  only  fair  that  this  i^hould  bo  first),  enter  into  our 
extensive  program  of  extracurricular  activities  with  en- 
thusiasm. Make  yourself  a  real  part  of  Maryland,  and, 
especially  if  you  are  a  daydodger,  become  affiliated  with 
campus  organizations — academic,  social,  athletic,  or  other- 
wise— for  their  benefits  are  innumerable. 

Above  all,  begin  your  college  career  with  a  strong  and  ever 
increasing  pride  in  the  University  of  Maryland,  its  campus 
and  its  traditions.  As  3'^ou  perhaps  have  already  noticed, 
the  campus  is  in  a  state  of  transition.  Many  improvements 
have  already  been  made,  more  are  underway,  and  others 
are  being  planned,  all  of  which,  w^hen  completed,  will  make 

22 


Maryland  one  of  the  most-up-to-date  and  beautiful  schools 
in  the  nation.  During  these  next  few  years  we  want  you  to 
help  us  weave  Maryland  tradition  about  these  new  sections 
of  the  campus  so  that  they  too  will  be  as  much  a  part  of 
Maryland  University  as  the  original  charter  itself. 

Last  but  not  least,  enjoy  Maryland's  oldest  tradition,  the 
"Hello  Habit",  which  is  a  natural  outgrowth  of  the  friendly, 
southern  atmosphere  which  abounds  on  our  campus.  Let's 
keep  it  here!

FUNCTIONING  OF  THE  STUDENT 
GOVERNMENT  ASSOCIATION 

The  Student  Government  Association  of  the  I'niversity 
of  Maiyland  is  the  official  representative  body  of  the  undei- 
graduates.  Members  are  chosen  from  the  students,  elected 
by  the  students,  and  their  primary  and  sole  purpose  is  to 
serve  the  students.  A  President,  the  most  responsible  student 
office  on  the  campus,  is  elected  in  the  spring,  along  witii 
other  officers.  The  President  supervises  the  work  of  all 
organizations,  and  acts  as  an  ex-officio  member  of  each. 

Three  main  divisions  comprise  the  S.G.A.  The  Executive 
Council,  supreme  governing  body,  decides  student  questions 
and  formulates  policy;  the  Men's  and  Women's  Leagues 
decide  on  and  enforce  all  campus  regulations;  and  the  entire 
student  body  may  attend  meetings  and  enter  into  the  dis- 
cussions. Only  when  the  students  are  alert,  cooperative  and 
sincerely  interested,  can  the  S.G.A.  prove  a  success.  Meetings 
are  held  twice  a  month,  or  oftener,  and  are  open  to  the 
public. 

Student  activities  are  controlled  by  tlie  S.G.A.,  and  are 
financed  for  the  most  part  by  an  activities  fee  which  is  paid 
by  all  students  in  the  University.  From  this  fee,  the  mone}' 
is  prorated  to  the  various  activities,  and  the  payment  of  this 
fee  entitles  a  student  to  all  the  publications,  tickets  to  dra- 
matic, operatic,  and  debate  performances,  and  to  most 
student   dances.     Class   dues  are   also   included  in  this  fee. 

In  addition  to  these  duties,  the  S.G.A.  acts  as  a  co-or- 
dinating body  between  all  student  groups,  and  with  the 
administration. 

Records  of  each  organization,  which  are  always  open  for 
inspection,  are  kept  by  the  administration.  Furthermore, 
each  organization  treasurer  keeps  his  own  records  as  a  check. 
All  bills  are  vouchered  and  the  accounts  are  audited  by  the 
State  Auditor  at  the  end  of  each  year.  The  first  issue  of 
THE  DIAMOXDBACK  prints  a'  full  statement  of  the 
income  and  expenses  of  each  group.

COMMITTEE  ON  STUDENT  LIFE 

Back  of  all  the  Student  activities  on  the  Maryland  Campus 
is  the  Committee  on  Student  Life,  linking  the  student  groups 
with  the  University  administration.  This  committee,  headed 
by  Dr.  Charles  E.  White,  is  not  organized  to  criticise  and 
lay  down  rules  for  the  students,  but  rather  they  are  organized 
to  work  with  the  students  and  to  show  them  how  to  work 
out  problems  which  may  arise;  not  only  problems  of  the 
present  but  problems  which  will  arise  when  they  are  working 
in  their  community  and  state  in  later  years. 

This  group  is  composed  of  members  of  the  faculty  who  are 
greatly  interested  in  the  student  body  and  they  are  always 
willing  to  give  of  their  time  to  work  with  the  different  or- 
ganizations. 

The  student  life  committee  urges  the  students  to  take 
part  in  the  extra-curricula  activities  on  the  campus.  Thei^ 
are  numerous  clubs,  music  organizations,  such  as  the  Uni- 
versity Band  and  orchestra,  dramatics,  intramural  sports, 
dancing  clubs,  and  pubUcations  staffs,  such  as  The  Diamond- 
back  and  Old  Line  in  which  the  student  may  work  and  better 
fit  himself  for  later  years.  By  joining  some  of  the  Maryland 
organizations  a  student  has  a  change  from  the  monotony  of 
classes,  books,  studj^ing,  and  more  classes. 

Other  members  of  the  committee  which  urges  the  student 
to  participate  in  student  activities  are:  Major  Geary  F. 
Eppley,  Colonel  Robert  E.  Wysor,  Professor  Charles  L. 
Mackert,  Dr.  John  E.  Faber,  Professor  Charles  G.  Eichlin, 
Dr.  Susan  E.  Harman,  Miss  Adele  G.  Stamp,  Mr.  George 
F.  Pollock,  Lieutenant  Ralph  L  Williams,  Miss  Francis  Ide, 
Miss  Mary  Ann  Johnson,  Miss  Gwendolyn  A.  Drew,  Professor 
Russell  B.  Allen,  Dr.  Xorman  E.  Philhps,  Dr.  L.  H.  James, 
Dr.  Otis  E.  Lancaster,  Professor  Charles  F.  Kramer,  Miss 
Alma  H.  Preinkert,  Dr.  William  A.  Griffith,  and  Lieutenant 
CarUsle  H.  Humelsine.

Concerning  Fraternities 

The  aim  and  dream  of  many  a  freshman  is  to  attain  mem- 
bership in  a  great  collegiate  fraternity.  To  many,  this 
dream  means  luxury  of  living,  a  sense  of  superiority,  a  good 
time  among  "brothers,"  and  a  shining  pin  to  show  the  home 
folks. 

A  fraternity  or  sorority  should  mean  much  more.  It 
should  mean  closer  companionship  with  other  men  or  women 
with  similar  ideals  who  are  pledged  to  raise  the  moral,  edu- 
cational, and  social  standards  of  the  group. 

In  a  few  weeks  many  will  have  the  opportunity  to  join 
one  of  these  lodges.  The  opportunities  for  you  to  benefit 
from  these  affiliations  are  numerous,  but  please  keep  in  mind: 

That  your  decision  will  probably  have  more  eflfect  on 
your  future  life  than  any  you  have  ever  made  in  the 
past. 

That  you  are  not  an  outcast  if  you  do  not  receive  the 
bid  you  wish,  or  any  bid  —you  may  be  too  intelligent 
instead  of  too  backward  to  interest  that  particular 
organization. 

That  many  of  the  potentially  fine  men  have  been 
completely  buried  in  their  fraternities. 

That  men  in  other  fraternities  may  be  worth  culti- 
vating or  keeping  as  intimate  friends.  Some  of  your 
best  friends  in  the  Freshmen  Class  will  not  be  in  your 
fraternity.      Do  not  lose  them. 

That  you  are  entitled  to  know  the  financial  set  up 
of  any  fraternity  that  rushes  you. 

That  it  is  neither  any  credit  to  you  nor  to  a  fraternity 
to  obligate  yourself  before  the  official  pledge  day. 

And  that  your  success  or  failure  does  not  rely  on 
whether  you  make  a  fraternity  or  not,  but  on  the 
initiative  and  perseverance  you  show  in  either  situation. 
Some  men  are  actually  made  by  fraternal  affiliation; 
others  submerged  or  ruined.  Choose  your  course 
carefully,  remembering  that  after  pledge  day  your 
battle  to  prove  your  real  worth  is  only  starting.

THE  FRATERNITY  CRITERIA 

(This   article   is   printed   by   request   of   the   Interfraternitv 
Council.) 

The  National  Interfraternity  Conference  \A'as  founded  in 
1909  for  the  purpose  of  discussing  questions  of  mutual  interest 
and  to  make  such  recommendations  from  time  to  time  as 
it  deems  wise.  It  is  composed  of  sixty-four  national  fra- 
ternities which  meet  strict  qualifications  for  membership. 
Its  annual  conferences  are  attended  by  about  three  hundred 
and  fifty  officers  and  alumni  of  the  various  fraternities  and 
about  fifty  deans  of  men  and  college  presidents.  It  sponsors 
the  National  Undergraduate  Interfraternity  Conference 
composed  of  delegates  from  the  Interfraternity  Councils  on 
campuses  all  over  the  United  States  and  Canada,  which 
meets  m  conjunction  with  the  Conference  itself.  It  publishes 
a  Year  Book,  the  report  of  its  annual  meeting,  in  which  much 
valuable  information  about  college  fraternity  life  is  included. 
In  the  fall  of  1934,  the  Executive  Committee  of  the  Con- 
ference and  the  Educational  Advisory  Council  reduced  to 
wntmg  the  following  criteria  in  order  further  to  advance 
co-operation  between  fraternities  and  educational  institutions. 
The  statement  was  subsequently  approved  by  the  American 
Association  of  Deans  and  Advisers  of  Men  and  by  the  Con- 
ference itself.     It  reads  as  follows : 

We   consider  the   fraternity  responsible   for   a   positive 

contribution  to  the  primary  functions  of  the  colleges  and 

universities,  and  therefore  under  an  obligation  to  encourage 

the  most  complete  personal  development  of  its  members 

intellectual,  physical  and  social.     Therefore,  we  declare: 

^u    Ti^^*  *^^  objectives  and  activities  of  the  fraternity 

should  be  in  entire  accord  with  the  aims  and  purposes 

of  the  institutions  at  which  it  has  chapters. 

77 


2.  That  the  primary  loyalty  and  responsibility  of  a 
student  in  his  relations  with  his  institution  are  to  the 
institution,  and  that  the  association  of  any  group  of 
students  as  a  chapter  of  a  fraternity  involves  the  definite 
responsibility  of  the  group  for  the  conduct  of  the  in- 
dividual. 

3.  That  the  fraternity  should  promote  conduct  con- 
sistent with  good  morals  and  good  taste. 

4.  That  the  fraternity  should  create  an  atmosphere 
which  will  stimulate  substantial  intellectual  progress 
and  superior  intellectual  achievement. 

5.  That  the  fraternity  should  maintain  sanitary, 
safe  and  wholesome  physical  conditions  in  the  chapter 
hou.se. 

6.  That  the  fraternity  should  inculcate  principles 
of  sound  business  practice  both  in  chapter  finances  and 
in  the  business  relations  of  its  members. 

These  criteria  should  be  applied  in  close  co-operation  with 
the  administrative  authorities  of  the  institutions.  Detailed 
methods  of  application  will  nece.ssarily  vary  in  accordance 
with  local  conditions.  It  is  the  purpose  of  the  National 
Interfraternity  Conference  to  offer  detailed  suggestions, 
after  further  study  and  investigation,  regarding  practical 
steps  to  make  this  co-operation  effective.

INTERFRATERNITY  COUNCIL 

President Vincen  Hughes 

Vice-President Leib  McDonald 

Secretary James  Miller 

Treasurer Charles  Harry 

.  The  Interfraternity  Council  is  composed  of  two  repre- 
sentatives from  each  fraternity  on  the  campus.  Its  purpose 
is  to  endeavor  to  create  a  mutual  understanding  and  harmony 
among  the  various  fraternal  groups. 

Certain  social  functions  in  which  the  fraternities  participate 
are  supervised  by  the  organization.  The  Interfraternity 
Ball  held  each  year  is  one  of  the  social  highlights  of  the  year. 

The  Interfraternity  Council  sponsors  interfraternity  sports 
during  the  year.  Tournaments  are  held  in  track,  basket 
ball,  and  softball,  and  the  winning  fraternity  is  given  an 
award. 

This  last  year,  the  Council  offered  a  cup  to  the  fraternity 
which  excelled  in  extracurricular  activities,  which  was  won 
by  Sigma  Nu  Fraternity.

SOUTHERN  CONFERENCE  RULES 

Maryland  is  a  charter  member  of  the  Southern  Intercol- 
legiate Athletic  Conference  which  includes  Washington  and 
Lee,  William  and  Mary,  Virginia  Military  Institute,  Virginia 
Polytechnic  Institute,  North  Carolina,  North  Carolina  State, 
Duke,  South  Carolina,  Richmond,  Clemson,  The  Citadel, 
Davidson,  Furman  University,  Wake  Forest  College,  and 
George  Washington  University. 

Included  in  the  Southern  Conference  are  the  states  of 
Maryland,  Virginia,  North  Carolina,  South  Carolina,  and  the 
District  of  Columbia.  The  Conference  is  composed  of  not 
more  than  sixteen  members  and  the  members  are  entitled 
to  one  vote  each. 

Its  purpose  is  to  promote  intercollegiate  athletics  in  every 
form,  and  to  regulate  them  by  wise  and  prudent  measures 
in  order  that  they  may  improve  the  physical  condition, 
strengthen  the  moral  fiber  of  students,  and  form  a  constituent 
part  of  that  education  for  which  universities  and  colleges 
were  established  and  are  maintained. 

All  athletics  at  Maryland  operate  under  the  direction  of 
the  Athletic  Board  composed  of  Professor  Geary  Eppley, 
chairman;  Dr.  Ernest  Cory,  Dr.  Levin  Broughton,  Dr. 
William  B.  Kemp,  and  Dr.  William  Supplee. 

For  the  rules  of  eligibility  of  the  Southern  Conference, 
consult  your  copy  of  the  Academic  Regulations.

Cheer  Leaders 

Head  Cheer-leader— Ralph  Bridges 

Barbara  England  Dody  Schene 

Margaret  Meiser  Bob  Searls 

Jx)lly  Park  George  Simons 

Traditional  at  the  University  of  Maryland  is  the  rivalry 
between  the  sophomore  and  freshman  classes.  You,  the 
freshman  of  the  class  of  '45,  are  about  to  become  a  part  of  this 
great  tradition. 

The  first  necessary  step  is  to  learn  the  songs  and  cheers  of 
your  school.  Show  your  "school  spirit"  by  coming  to  the 
football  games  and  other  athletic  events  and  yelling  your 
lungs  out  for  the  old  alma  mater. 

Remember  that  those  boys  out  on  the  field  are  fighting  for 
you,  always  in  there  trying  to  win.  A  cheer  of  encouragement 
from  you  may  mean  the  difference  between  victory  and  defeat. 

Freshmen  should  also  remember  the  fact  that  they  are  new- 
comers to  an  institution  of  higher  learning.  As  such,  they 
will  be  asked  to  obey  a  few  simple  rules  drawn  up  by  Barnett 
Broughton,  president  of  the  sophomore  class. 

The  rules  which  follow  are  subject  to  addition  or  amendment 
at  any  time.  Any  violations  are  punishable  by  the  sophomore 
class. 

THE  EIGHT  COMMANDMENTS 

1.  Frosh  must  learn  all  school  yells  and  songs  and  turn  out 
for  all  pep  rallies. 

2.  Frosh  must  csury  Bibles  (M  Books)  at  all  times. 

3.  Frosh  must  attend  all  varsity  football  games  and  sit  in 
Frosh  cheering  section. 

Ill 


4.  Frosh  must  develop  the  "Hello  Habit''. 

5.  Frosh  must  not  cut  campus. 

.  6.  Frosh  must  show  respect  for  upperclassmen,  obeying  all 
reasonable  orders  and  granting  them  the  right  of  way. 

7.  Frosh  must  wear  rat  hats  and  name  plates  at  all  times. 

8.  Frosh  must  not  wear  insignia  won  at  any  school  other 
than  the  University  of  Maryland. 

The  following  are  the  recognized  songs  and  cheers  of  the 
University  of  Marjdand,  which  it  is  hoped  that  all  freshmen 
will  learn  carefully: 

ALMA  MATER 

(Maryland!  My  Maryland!) 

The  sons  and  daughters  throng  thy  door, 

Maryland!  My  Maryland! 
Their  hearts  and  hopes  they  bring  to  thee, 

Maryland!  Oh  Maryland! 
And  place  them  in  thy  custody, 
Proud  hearts  that  pledge  their  love  for  thee: — - 
They  come  from  mountain,  farm  and  shore 

Maryland  University ! 

Go  forth,  brave  youth,  throughout  the  state: 

Maryland!  My  Maryland! 
And  your  actions,  show  her  great : 

Maryland!  Our  Maryland! 
Thy  Alma  Mater's  name  and  fame 
Oh  keep  alive  her  holy  flame. 
Until  all  hearts  as  one  exclaim, 

Maryland!  My  Maryland! 

Cheer,  three  times  cheer,  and  one  cheer  more 

For  Maryland!  Dear  Maryland! 
Send  forth  that  cry  from  hill  to  shore: — 

Maryland  University! 
Fair  Mother  of  our  brighest  dreams. 
Blest  giver  of  life's  precious  things. 
To  thee  each  heart  its  service  brings: — 

Maryland!  My  Maryland! 

112 


MY  MARYLAND 

The  despot's  heel  is  on  thy  shore, 

Maryland!  My  Maryland! 
His  torch  is  at  thy  temple  door, 
Maryland!  My  Maryland! 
Avenge  the  patriotic  gore, 
That  flecked  the  streets  of  Baltimore, 
And  be  the  battle  queen  of  yore 
Maryland!  My  Maryland! 
Thou  wilt  not  cower  in  the  dust 
Maryland!  My  Maryland! 
Thy  gleaming  sword  shall  never  rust 

Maryland!  My  Maryland! 

Remember  Carroll's  sacred  trust, 

Remember  Howard's  war-like  thrust, 

And  all  the  slumb'rers  with  the  just, 

Maryland!  My  Maryland!
