Not only in dates and facts do we find the his-
tory of the University of Maryhmd, but in the
lasting- traditions which have been built uj) by
those before us. Old grads never think of Mary-
land without remembering- WUloxc Walk — in the
spring- and in the fall . , . Testudo the Teri> faith-
fully symbolizing- Maryland . . . the tuiiueJ on tiie
Library Green — ask your date its tradtion ! . . ,
the Roaitborouyh Inn — a reminder of a proud his-
tory and the Rossboroiigh Dances — now a pleasant
memory and a future hope , . . Wednesdai/ Night
After-Dinner Dances — informal fun , . . The All
University Night and the }^arsitif Shoiv — written
and ]iroduced by the students . . . Homecoming
with its floats, cheers, and football excitement . .
"Hello" Habit — friendly way of getting acquainted
. . . The Paint Branch Tug of War — Sophomores
against the freshmen . . . Ann Arvndel- — named
for the lovely wife of Cecil Calvert, Second Lord
Baltimore . . . Margaret Brent — bearing the name
of the high spirited, vivacious crusader for
women's rights . . . Mag Dag with its Queen, sing-
ing, maypole dancing and Mortar Board tapping
... a trilmte from the Junior to the Senior
Women.
As the campus buildings are a i)art of the
University of Maryland, so are these traditions.
Ivnow them and be proud of them.
Jtuton4f.
"Hail, Alma Mater
Hail to thee Marjilaud
Steadf((ftt in loifaltij
For thee tee stand."
Ill these words are echoed the sentiments of
every student of the University of Maryhmd, past,
])resent and future. The students of the past who
have graduated clierish many tender memories of
tiieir heloved Ahna Mater; those of the present
are striving to make in the University more im-
l)rovements that will he 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. Rajiidly expanding, the Univer-
sity added a School of Law in 1823, a School of
Dentistry in 1882, a School of Nursing in 1889,
and, in 1901-, observed 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 West-
ern Hemisphere. In 1862, the College became in
part a State institution with the passage of the
Land Grant Act b\' the Congress of the United
States.
By an act of the State Legislature in 1920, the
I'niversity of Maryland was merged with the
Maryland State College, and the resulting insti-
tution was given the name, the University of
Maryland.

IROSH GREETING FROM
PRESIDENT BYRD
Dr. Harry C. Bvrd
To All Stidknts:
The University vvecomes you to the campus.
For the first time since 1941 the University be-
gins this fall to operate on its normal scholastic
schedule, returning to the two-semester system.
The accelerated program, under which tiie Univer-
10
sity has operated on a year-round basis, has
served its purpose in helping- the nation's war
effort, but the time has come to prepare for re-
turn to civilian objectives.
The University is beginning; a new era in its
services to the i>eoi>le of the State and nation. A
new building ])rogram, involving over .$6,()0(),000,
is under way, to provide more and better physical
facilities. New objectives are being established
and new departments are beginning to function.
Perha])s the two most salient developments of
which the war period has been productive are
the Institue of World Economics and Politics, for
the education and training of men and women
for Foreign Service; and the American Civilization
program, which will give students a better and
more positive knowledge of their own country's
backgrounds and the values inherent and potential
therein.
The University is o]>erated entirely for the bene-
fit of the people, both in resident education for
young men and women, and in extension educa-
tion for adults. The administrative departments
of the University, and the faculty of the Uni-
versity, want to help you with your problems;
and, when you have difficulty of any kind, remem-
ber that you are expected to ask for help to over-
come tiiat difficulty.
Do not ever let yourself l)e discouraged, but at
the same time remember that no man or woman
ever has achieved anytliing anywhere without hard
work. Xo administrative officer, nor member of
the faculty, can do your job for you. They can
advise and be helpful, but, in the last analysis,
11
you will succeed by doing your own work. You
will not succeed in any other way. This is not a
sermon but simj^ly a statement of hard fact.
If ever you have any doubt in j'our mind
about any matter in connection with your Uni-
versity life, please ask someone in authority who
has the facts to give you. Remember, at any and
all times, the door of the President's office is open
to you. Look upon members of the faculty, who
wish to be helpful, as your friends. I^et all of us
help you because that is our job.
Looking forward to greeting you personally,
I am
Sincerely,
H. C. Bykd,
President.

Student Government
WORDS OF ADVICE FROM
STUDENT PRESIDENT
I>KSLIE DaIA'
May I also join in extending hearty congratula-
tions to you on a job well done. Yes, all of you
proved yourselves successful when you completed
the primary task required in an American life,
namely, that of completing tlie work assigned to
you in your elementary and high school educa-
tion.
19
This triumi)liant achit'N'cnit'nt is readily recog-
nized by your earned diplomas which have gained
you admittance to the secondary stage in life,
which is college.
I'hroughout your college days you will be lay-
ing the roadbed whidi >'ou will follow in tlie long
grinding drive through life. Success lies at the
end of this road. So the firmer its course and the
straighter its i)ath, the quicker will you achieve
success.
Every task assigned to you in your college days
is an intricate i)art of the roadbed you are con-
structing. Failure to fulfill these tasks will tend
to weaken the roadbed or curve its course. Thus,
the destination "Success" will retjuire more years
of your later life to obtain. Don't ])e like some
who make so many curves in their roadbed that
they never reach the end. Use foresight and lay
your roadbed firm and straight!
It will be the rightful duty of this Student Gov-
ernment to endeavor within the limits of its power
to see that the quality of educational material pre-
sented to you here at the University of Mary-
land is the very best. This will not only help
and make it easier for you who do honestly
try and lay a firm foundation, but will also
serve to gain just a little more knowledge for
those of you who, due to unforeseen circumstances,
might be unable to com]ilete your college course.
To reach and maintain this quality at its highest
])(ak will re(iuire the zeal of each individual stu-
dent in supporting the student body.
Indeed it is unfortunate that human nature lim-
its us so that these ideas which I have mentioned
20
can be of such little interest to you as freshmen,
but as seniors will surge forth and become of the
utmost concern to you. The inability to foresee
the future seems to be the greatest obstacle man
has in everyday life; but yet, we must accept and
co])e with things as they are.
"^'our Student Government will also ])rovide
many things that may be of social interest to you,
such as dances, rallies and plays. It will do all
in its ]iower to make your social hours g;ems of
ha]>py memories to accompany you on your road
to success.
Above all, remember tlie importance of conduct-
ing: yourselves in such manner that it may always
be said, to have known you, is to have loved you.
May it ever be so !
Sincerely,
Leslie Daly,
Student President
After the outbreak of the war, the Student
Government Association decided to change its sys-
tem and under the Provisional Government Con-
stitution established in February, 1943, the Stu-
dent Board came into existence.

ion will be one of the main ]irojects of the gov-

in the Officers' Reserve Corps. This advanced
course has been discontinued for the duration of
the war. Also inactive are the two military fra-
ternities: The Pershing Rifles, national honorary
fraternity for basic ROTC students; and Scab-
bard and Blade, honorary military fraternity for
advanced ROTC students.
Prior to 1916, the University was a military
school, and since then the War Department has
maintained a senior infantry unit here. Every
year since its beginning, this unit has won the
coveted War Department rating of "generally
excellent." This award is worn by all cadets at
Maryland in the form of a blue star worn on the
sleeve of the uniform blouse. With all the equip-
ment it has at hand such as rifles, pistols, carbines,
machine guns, and a bazooka, to say nothing of
one of the finest indoor rifle ranges on the east
coast, the incoming class should work towards
retaining this Maryland military tradition of "gen-
erally excellent."
ROTC BAND
The ROTC Band is under the direction of
Band Master Otto Siebeneichen, known fondly to
all his boys as "Pop" or "Sarge." With the de-
crease in size of the whole unit, the band has also
decreased. Every term, however, enough men
have turned out to give the battalion martial
6u
rhythm. All new men who play a musical in-
strument are encouraged to turn out for the band
No extra time is needed, but an extra scholastic
credit is given.
The Military Department staff is composed of
three officers, three enlisted men, and the military
property custodian. These men's names should be
learned by all ROTC cadets.
Colonel Harland C. Griswold — Commandant
Captain George W. Dunlap — Officer-in-Charge.

INTERFRATERNITY COUNCIL
President . Hexry Howdex
Vice-President Michael Zetts
Secretary Harold Thompsox
Treasurer John MacVeigii
The interfraternity Council Avas founded at the
University in 1926 for tlie purpose of maintaining
harmonious relations between the fraternities and
the University and between the fraternities them-
selves. Sui)ervision of rushing and improvement
of the fraternity system at Maryland are the
Council's specific duties.
Membership of the Council consists of the jiresi-
dent and an elected delegate from each of the
fraternities now functioning who are members of
the organization.
Certain social functions in which these fra-
ternities participate are planned and supervised
by the Council. The Interfraternity Ball is one of
the year's social highlights. In addition, the group
sponsors inter-fraternity sports, throughout the
year. Tournaments are held in track, basket-
ball, Softball, and touch football, and the winning
fraternities receive awards.
CONCERNING FRATERNITIES
The aim and dream of many a freshman is to
attain membership in a great collegiate fraternity
To many, this dream means luxury of living, a
sense of superiority, a good time among "broth-
ers," and a shining pin to show the home folks.
A fraternity or sorority should mean much more.
It should mean closer companionship with other
69
men or women with similar ideals who are pledged
to raise the moral, educational, and social stand-
ards 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
effect 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 ]K)tentiaIly fine men have
been completely buried in their fraternities
That men in other fraternities may be worth
cultivating or keeping as intimate friends.
Some of your best friends in the Freshman
Class will not be in your fraternity. Do not
lose them.
That you are entitled to know the financial
setup 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 initiative and perseverance you show
in either situation. Some men are actually
made by fraternal affiliation; others sub-
merged or ruined. Choose your course care-
fully, remembering that after pledge day
70
your battle to prove your real worth is only
starting.

Vice-President Louisa White
Secretary Helexe Aaroxson
'Treasurer Rose Marie Bridges
Deputy Officer Axx Levixe
The Panhellenic Council is composed of two rep-
resentatives from each sorority and each sorority
president. Its purpose is to foster a better spirit
among the sororities on campus. The Panhell
delegates of the twelve national sororities on cam-
pus work together to promote a feeling of co-
operation and unity. Officers rotate among the
sororities in alphabetical order. Meetings are held
regularly each month at the sorority houses in
alphabetical order though special sessions may be
called.
The formal rushing date for this semester is
September 16, and parties will be held during the
week before classes commence. Rush rules and
dates are presented in the Panhellenic booklet.
The initial cost of going out for rushing is $1.00.
Last Spring, the representatives on the Council
worked on plans for the revision of their consti-
tution and rules. Among the changes are the
new deputy officer, created in order to give the
woman-to-be-president for the folloAving term u
period of training; a week of rushing ]ireceding
classes; a limitation of sorority membership to
fifty-five, wliich must be effected by each sorority
in three years' time; and an honor system for sum-
75
mer silence between soroi-ity women and prospec-
tive Marj'land students.

2. Representatives may be chosen from the
Junior or Senior Classes for the House
Presidents, and a record of the election shall
be kept so that if the woman student does
not return to school, the next highest stu-
dent can take her place. A girl who has had
experience living in the dorm under the
I^eague Rules should be chosen president.
Any woman student elected to the League must
retain a two-point average.
League members are expected to take all
changes in rules to their housemother imme-
diately.

The Women's League Retains for Itself the
Right to Make Exceptions in the Rules if the Con-
ditions Warrant It.

FOOTBALL
Dr. Clarence W. Spears began his second year
as head football coach with a squad composed of
seventeen year olds, t F's, and a few discharged
veterans.
The Old Liners fought their way through a
tough schedule, meeting such foes as Wake Forest,
West Virginit, Michigan State, Florida, Virginia,
Penn State, and V. M. I. The end of the season
saw one win and one draw on a nine game card.
No formal spring practice was held last year
but football was included in the physical educa-
tion program. Formal fall ]:>ractice started sev-
eral weeks ago.
In addition to football, varsity C(mipetition this
year will be carried on in boxing, basketball, base-
ball, and rifle. There is a possibility that there
will be track and lacrosse squads if a sufficient
immber of men are interested in iiarticipating in
tliese two sports. Maryland's Old Liners will
compete against Conference o])ponents as well as
other outstanding teams.

BOXING
Ably coached by Coach Paddy Kane, the Old
liiners defeated North Carolina Pre-Flight School
and drew with the Penn Staters on a seven iight
card. Virtually every team met was either a ser-
vice team or Navy fortified.
Coach Kane initiated an intramural boxing tour-
nament last December in order to obtain talent
for the '46 squad.
BASKETBALL
Despite the fact that the Terps won very few
games last season, they were extended an invita-
tion to participate in the Southern Conference
playoffs by virtue of a win over William and
Mary. However, they were eliminated in the
first round after bowing to a stronger Duke quin-
tet.
The floormen, under the excellent tutorship of
Coach Burton Shipley, were considerably weak-
ened by the loss of players to the armed forces
throughout the season.
95
RIFLE
The Terp riflemen under Col. Harland C. Gris-
wold registered fifteen wins in seventeen shoul-
der matches, and eight wins in ten postal matches.
While the shoulder matches were against local
civilian teams for the most part, the postal
matches brought competition from Lehigh M.I.T.,
Michigan State, Western Maryland, Syracuse,
Alabama, Pitt, Arizona, and North Carolina State.
Maryland copped the William Randolph Hearst
Trophy match for tlie 3rd Service Command, won
second place in the 3rd Service Command Inter-
collegiate matches and placed fourth in the
National Intercollegiate matches.
In addition to these trophies, the Meeks Trophy
is awarded each year to the outstanding member
of the team. This award is in honor of I.t. George
Meeks, former Terp rifleman, wlio died in Iceland.
BASEBALL
Maryland had a poor season last spring, re-
cording only two wins against nine defeats. How-
ever, as in other sports, the Shipleymen played
service powered nine. They defeated Fort Myer
and Johns Hopkins, losing to such teams as
Quantico Marine Barracks, Fort Meade, and the
Indianhead Marines.
Coached by Burton Shipley, who developed
Charlie Keller among other stars, the Old Liners
showed up remarkably well considering the caliber
of their opponents.
Although baseball was on informal basis last
year a normal collegiate schedule is expected for
next spring.
96
INTRAMURALS
A varied and extensive program of intramural
sports was conducted by the men's Physical Edu-
cation Department under the direction of Coach
Stanley Baker.
Besides touch football, basketball, and Softball
leagues, there were boxing and tennis tourna-
ments. There was also an Interfraternity track
meet held last spring.
Announcements concerning intramurals are pub-
lished in the Diamondback.

medium for uniting male students who have simi-
lar interests and a desire to see the University
outstanding in athletics.

"A WORD TO THE WISE"
One of the oldest traditions at the University
of Maryland, which time and war have failed to
efface, is the "ratting" of incoming freshmen by
the Sophomore Class.
As "rats," you will be called upon in the weeks
that follow to perform many tasks which at times
may seem silly or unreasonable. However, we hope
that you will accejit these demands in the proper
spirit — the spirit in which they are made. Re-
member that, although you have been admitted
to the University, you must still prove your worth
to us.
You have doubtless been impressed by the
l»rominence of posters telling you to "Read, Fear.
Obej' the Ten Commandments." Again, a word
of advice. These placards have not been dis-
tributed in an effort to beautify our campus
They have a constructive purpose. Read them!
Practice what they preach !
Above all, get off on the right foot by practicing
tlie "hello" habit whenever possible. This is one of
our most cherished traditions, and it can be a big
hel}) to you in meeting future fraternity brothers
and sorority sisters. Help to keep Maryland a
friendly University.
That you obey the Ten Commandments and
their associated bylaws is of concern to everyone
who was once a freshman at Maryland. It is up
to you to identify yourselves as loyal Maryland
101
men b\' livinjr up to these establislied customs. If
you do not, the Sopliomore Class stands ready to
enforce them, and a special "Ratting Court" has
been established to handle individual cases.
It is hoi)ed, hov,ever, that any "enforcement''
will be unnecessary and that you will continue the
tradition of previous freshmen classes. Start off
the year right ! Grasp the Maryland s])irt and pay
strict obedience to these rules:
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
1. Memorize the Ten Commandments and all
.bylaws.
2. Wear rat hat, nameplate, and M-tie at all
times.
3. Get the "hello" habit. (Maryland is a
frieudhf University).
4. Show proper respect for upperclassmen
and obey all reasonable requests.
5. Attend all campus activities, social as well
as athletic.
6. I^earn Maryland cheers and songs. (Get
the Maryland spirit!)
7. Remain in your room every week night
from 8:30 to 11:30 unless otherwise in-
structed.
8. Do not smoke on cam]ius, except in your
room or in the Student Lounge.
9. Do not "cut" campus. (You kill 999 blades
of grass with each step.)
10. Don't wear large prep or high school in-
signia. (You can't live on your past here.)
102
BYLAWS
1. Freshmen must carry the M-Book at all
times.
2. Freshmen may not walk for any reason
whatsoever on the Upperclassmen's Walk
which connects Arts and Sciences with the
Administration Building, nor upon the ad-
joining grass.
3. Freshmen in the Dining Hall may not sit at
the ends of rectangular tables.
4. Freshmen using the Arts and Sciences
Building must enter and leave by the front
(north) entrances, first floor and basement
5. Freshmen entering and leaving the Engi-
neering Building must use the large East
Entrance.
6. Freshmen must not loiter more than two
minutes on the Library steps.
7. All Freshmen Girls will wear their hair in
pigtails.
— The Sophomore Class.
FRESHMEN, YOU SHOULD KNOW
THESE MARYLAND TRADITIONS
Freshmen boys are known as "rats" and their
coed classmates as "rabbits."
The "hello" habit, one of our most important
traditions, has built up Maryland's reputation as
a friendly University. Help keep it going, and
remember — it is a sure way to meet future fra-
ternity and sorority companions.
103
The Upperclassmen's Walk, running between
the Arts and Sciences and Administration build-
ings, is for upperclassmen only. Walk on it at
your own risk.
This M-Book is your official "Bible." Carry it
with you at all times, just in case some Sophomore
should ask you for it.
All "rabbits'' must wear their hair in pigtails
Freshmen entering and leaving the Engineering
Building are restricted to the East Entrance.
Those using the Arts and Sciences Building
must go around to the North side, where two en-
trances, first floor and basement, are available.
The Library is a place to study, not to make
dates. Furthermore, noisy congregation on the
front steps disturbs those inside. For this reason,
you must not loiter more than two minutes on
these steps,
"Cutting" campus is dangerous (if you get
caught) and destructive. Use the walks and save
those 999 blades of grass.
Freshmen must not smoke on campus, except in
their rooms or in the Student Lounge.
You will make many friends at the Freshman
Mixer dance, usually held after the first week of
school.
In addition to the nightly ratting, the Sopho-
more Class will pick one night out of the semester
to hold a "Prayer for Rain." If you don't know
what this is, just ask one of last semester's fresh-
men.
104
Your chance for revenfjc will come at the big
Tug-of-War with the So])lu)mores over Paint
Branch. If you win, ratting will be discontinued
immediately. If you lose, don't say we didn't
warn you.

Drink to the Terrapin,
All stout-hearted men.

We'll win again, dear Maryland,
We'll fight with all our might.

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