I90I Reveille.

©©©o

Clear upon the air of morning
Break the rh^'thmic l)ugle calls,

Pealing forth their notes of warning,
Up and down the college halls.

II.

Calling everj' man to duty

Back from Dreamland's borders, where
All around is rest and beauty —

Back to dailv toil and care.

III.

So we sound a note of warning
To our brothers, every one.

Who are idling through the morning
Of the century- just begun.

IV.
'You must now be up and doing,"

Thus our Reveille speaks to all,
'Still achieving, still pursuing.

Ere the clouds of evening fall."

You must not in idle pleasure
Waste the present — if you do

You will miss the priceless treasure
Life has now reserved for you.

VI.
Hark 1 our l)ugle note is falling.

Clear and sharp, upon the air;
Haste, your duty now is calling,-

Meet it noblv evervwhere.

Preface, j^ j^ j^

Another year has passed away and we in turn, greet
you, with pleasure, by presenting this book.

The Board of 1901 respectfully requests all readers
to receive this book in the same spirit which moved us in
our work. We wish it understood that this book goes forth
to our friends with good will towards all and malice towards
none.

We have endeavored to treat each and every-one alike —
to spare no one — if we have offended anyone, in any manner,
we are truly sorry, and can only humbly beg pardon for the
offense.

Within these covers will be found a record of all the prin-
cipal events which have happened at Maryland Agricultural
College during the college year of '00- '01 and in such form
as to be at once recognizable to people who are familiar
with college life.

We cannot hope to plea.se all; but we ask you, dear
reader, not to criticise us too .severely. Could you have
done better? Compliment us if you can. Encourage those,
who have done their best, by your patronage. We patiently
await your verdict.

Yours truly,

1901.

N dedicating this, the fifth volume of the Reveille
to the faculty of Maryland Agricultural College we
do so feeling that the old maxim which says
Jiu "Honor where honor is due" is the best and to

f \^ them we present this book as a token of remem-

brance from the smallest class which has ever yet
passed beyond the walls and jurisdiction of the
grand old place.

While it has been the custom heretofore to
honor some special member of the faculty in this
manner. We have departed from the old and bro-
ken paths in this as in a great many other features
of the book and we sincerely hope our departures will merit
the approval of all who may perchance peruse its pages, we also
hope our departure in respect to dedication may be continued by
those who may, in the future, be called upon to perform the
duties connected there- with.

At the present time our faculty is composed of twenty-two
men, whose pictures are presented on a preceding page. These
men represent five complete courses which are open to any young
man wishing to devote himself in that line. Our relations with
the entire body has been most pleasant and profitably spent and
to them we owe much. We are truly grateful for the interest
they took in us and we hope, if at any time we gave them trouble
or annoyance by our eccentricities, they bear no malice towards
us. We hope the time is near at hand when the State at large will
realize what a noble institution their State College is and give it
the support it so much deserves.

^ ^

FEW weeks before this article was commenced, the writer saw on
one of the pages of a technical journal the following :

"Wanted. — Several good mechanical draftsmen ; graduates
of technical schools preferred. Address Shinkle, Harrison &
Howard Iron Co., E. St. Louis, 111."

"Wanted. — A man between the ages of 25 and 35 to super-
vise the inspection of raw and finished parts ; must have good
education ; college or technical school training preferred ; also some
practical mechanical experience ; salary $800.00 to $1,200.00 per
year. Apply or address Employment Bureau, National Cash Reg-
ister Co., Dayton, Ohio."
The first was inserted by the largest water pipe foundry in the West, and the
second by a company having capital stock of $5,000,000.

These advertisements show that the engineering world is beginning to ap-
preciate the products of the colleges.

I desire to state at the outset, that this article is intended to be a personal
plea to those young men having a fondness for engineering — either civil, electri-
cal, mechanical or mining. If these branches have a fascination for you, don't
permit the ideas of difficult studies, long periods of work, soiled hands, or the
easy life of a mercantile or bank clerk, or book-keeper, deter you from pursuing
the necessary routine of work for such professions as these.

As the writer is interested in mechanical engineering, and as this college has
a growing department, it was deemed proper to touch on this subject for an arti-
cle in "Tiiic Reveille."

What is this .sort of an engineer, anyway ? Who should learn it and what
salary does it pay ? How is it to be learned ? What is the best wa\- of learning
it? Wliat are its advantages? The.se are legitimate questions, and are likely to
be asked by any thoughtful young man who is to make his way.

An engineer in the true .sen.se of the word means " One wlio uses tlie laws,
forces, and materials of nature in the design and execution of works, including
structures and machines." A mechanical engineer is the man who brings the

theories of physics that are taught us, in practical and daily uses by building en-
gines or labor-saving appliances, or producing anything in metal that can be cast,
rolled, pressed, machined or tooled into shape.

A very good example of mechanical engineering, and a very familiar one, is
the locomotive. Another, and one on a larger scale, may be seen in the planning
and development of the great steel works of the Maryland Steel Company, at
Sparrow's Point, Md.

If a young man, seventeen or eighteen years of age, thinks he would like to
go in for this sort of business and has during his boyhood, taken particular inter-
est in the construction of anything he came across from a wind mill to a leaden
steam engine, or dynamo, and has supplemented this thirst by going out of his
way to see all kinds of things at work, and has spent his Saturdays hanging
around some machine shop and foundry, or has been the principal actor in pick-
ing up an innocent looking bit of black iron in some country blacksmith shop
after school hours, it is safe to say he has that investigating spirit which is of
primary importance in engineering.

How is it to be learned? Well, one way is to put in an apprenticeship of four
years, at the machine business, with some engineering firm to secure the practical
details of the business, and spending the evenings and other leisure time, in se-
curing the necessary theoretical knowledge.

Another way, and quite an excellent one, is to enter a school of engineering
and pursue the regular four year course; supplementing the theoretical and prac-
tical instruction by working on Saturdays and during the sununer vacations with
engineering establishments, as is now often being done.

But as to the best method of learning, and of what it .should con.sist, has led
to endless discus.sion among educators and engineers. That is, should the educa-
tion be purely a theoretical one ; without any practical training — except a few
laboratory experiments, or .should it be one in which the practical has been con-
sidered on a par with the theoretical. It is well to divide this into three stages
and to consider each.

First — the purely theoretical stage, in which practice, or application of prin-
ciples, has no part. vSecond — the semi-theoretical, in which the application is
taught of theoretical truth to practice, and lastly — there is the actual instinct in
the art it.self, the theoretical ])eing judiciously mixed with the practical.

As an example, take the consulting engineering, or mechanical superintend-
ent of any large establishment. If he is of the first mentioned stage, his work
is likely to look most beautiful on i)aper, but when being constructed, it is often
found that some of the work is to be of such .shape that it is impossible to con-
struct, and in this way often wrecking a bu.sine.ss.

He may l^e of the cla.ss in the second stage, where his principles are correctly
applied and the work successfully executed; but at such cost as to leave no mar-
gin for the company. As stockholders do not i)ut their money into a business for

EDITOR-IN-CHIEF AS PEOPLE SEE HIM.

love of the business, but for profit, there is likely to be trouble and some one may
perhaps be without a position.

If he is of the class composing the third stage — that is educated in the prin-
ciples and the carrying out of the same in the actual construction of such as illus-
trate these, or by the solution of practical problems and applying them so far as
possil)le ; instead of spending the time in the solution of problems which can
never have any practical value, he will obtain the sort of knowledge which will
be of use to him in the planning of work, to estimate its cost — which includes
the time, labor and material. To tell if a machine is doing what it should, and,
if not, to be able to locate the fault and correct.

The engineering schools of today are doing a noble work along the lines of
combining the practical with the theoretical. The same mathematics are taught
as formerly, but taught in manner so that the student sees the real value of it.
Industrial drawing is taught as before, but along the lines and on such problems
as the student is likely to encounter after leaving college. Applied mechanics is
taught so that the problems have a real meaning to him. He now knows that if
the driving wheel of a locomotive, or stationary engine, goes beyond a certain
number of revolutions, the centrifugal force will be so great as to destroy the
wheel, and that no wheel can be constructed of sufficient strength to withstand
this force ; unless the force is limited.

This is a cold sort of world, so learn thoroughly what you attempt. You
will .soon learn that 3'ou are to be paid for what you can do and not for what you
know.

Engineering does not mean simply the ability to put lines on paper, to repre-
.sent .something, to survey a piece of land, to execute a piece of machine work
within one one-thousandth of an inch, or to calculate how much water will flow
through a pij^e in a certain time. The.se aie merely elementary.

If you will take a catalogue containing an engineering course and turn to the
outline of the course, you will notice subjects which appear to ha\-e no bearing
upon it. The investigator says "I don't .see why I should learn french, german,
civics, economics or history." "How will the>- assist me in earning a living ? "

The.se subjects are for the purpo.se of giving what is known as a liberal edu-
cation. It is true the engineer of todaj- must be a si)ecialist — that is to concen-
trate his efforts along certain lines — but he should have that sort of knowledge
which will enable him to take a broad view of any sul)ject.

But why .should the would be engineer know all of these, including analytics
and calculus ? Why not ])ut him in the shop and let him learn to chip, file and
to operate the various machines? That is the projier thing to do if the object is
to make a machinist, or producer, out of him. But a new light is beaming now,
which casts the shadows spelling the lines

"The cultured mind,
The .skillful hand."

Manufacturers are beginning" to realize that something else besides manual
dexterity is needed in the leaders of their establishments. Ability to read human
nature, tact; realizing what is due from one human being to another, and deter-
mination are some of the qualities demanded of those filling executive positions.
A broad, or liberal, education aids one greatly in learning these.

As to some of the advantages of the profession. It is independent. The
salaries range from $i,ooo to $10,000. An engineer's attainments are so varied,
that if the avenues in one line of business are filled, there are others to which he
may turn. He is not hampered like a clerk or book-keeper. Drafting, machine
work, teaching, mechanical expert, salesman, and even marine engineering are
some of the lines along which employment may be secured. Engineering plants
are thickly studded from Maine to California and from the Great lyakes to the
Gulf, so the field of operation is large and the opportunities great.

Young Reader, if you have the fondness for this sort of thing, and will be
satisfied with a moderate income, by all means learn engineering. I know of no
other business, or profession, which will afford 3"ou so much satisfaction and profit
for the amount invested.

■ytr W. COBEY, Jr.,
Major of the Mary-
land Agricultural
College, Cadet Battalion,
and Commandant of the
Laurel High School Cadets
was born near Grayton.
Charles County, Maryland,
December lo, 187S.

While still quite young
he showed remarkable tal-
ent, especially along the
lines of agricultural pur-
suits and investigations.
He received his earlier edu-
cation at Friendship Acad-
emy, where his abilities
were first recognized.

In September, 1897, he
entered the Freshman class
of The Maryland Agricul-
tural College, and has since
devoted himself to the agri-
cultural course.

He has taken great inter-
est in all college affairs, par-
ticularly in a social line,
and is now recognized as
the "ladies' man," of the vSenior class, and it is a stormy da>' when he is not, at
some time or other, seen busily engaged explaining, to some fair maiden, the ele-
mentary forms of plant life.

On accotmt of his rank and i)opularit\- with his fellow students he was made
cla.ss president, and on accoinit of class standing he is to be valedictorian of the
class of 1 90 1.

He has also proven a successful manager for the P>ase-l)all team, and, in a
great measure, to him ])elongs the credit for the Team's Southern tri]).

He is Business Manager of The ReveillE and President of the Maryland
Agricultural College Athletic A.ssociation, Chairman of the Progrannne and In-
vitation Connnittees for the June Ball.

He has taken some interest in literary wcjrk, and is President of the Morrill
Literar>' vSociety. At the present time he is a candidate for the Inter-Collegiate
Oratorical contest of the Jstate of Mar^•land.

1 OHN T. HARDISTY,
•^ Captain of Company B,
first saw the light at
M itchellsville, Prince
George's Co., Md., March
23, 1883.

He received his prepara-
tory education at Frogpond
Academy where he gradu-
ated, with high honors and
distinction, on June 10,
1 896.

In the Fall of '97 he en-
tered the Freshman Class
and gained distinction by
leading his class that year.
He is a member of the
Classical Course and has al-
ways been noted for his stu-
dious ways, but like many
Classical Course men, never
tires of telling about the dif-
ficulties of his course. He
has not studied as much as
usual this year and therefore
not so high up in marks as
formerly. No reason can
be given for this unless,
it is perhaps, he is in love. He has always taken great interest in athletics and
played full back on the foot ball team of 'oo-'oi. He is, at the present time,
playing centre field on the base ball team.

He is President of the Ro.s.sbourg Club and Secretary and Treasurer of the
Athletic Association. His literarj^ ability has never been questioned and he is
President of New Mercer Literary Societ}^ and has been elected as Senior Orator
by his class.

He is President of the June Ball organization and A.ssistant Business Mana-
ger for the Reveille.

John promises to be a con,spicuous figure in the Senior Track Team of 1901
and is sure to win his lap in the Relay Race.

p V. McDonnell.

Captain Company C.
The subject of this sketch
was born and raised on a
large stock farm in Flor-
ence, Washing-ton County,
Pa. Born on the luck)^
number seven in the month
of May, and in the year
seventy-eight.

He was a student at
Frankfort Springs Acade-
my, where he fully decided
to pursue his present line of
work.

He entered the Sophomore
class of Maryland Agricul-
tural College in September,
1898, and took up Mechan-
ical Engineering.

He is distinguished as
being the only musical
member of the present
Senior class. He is a -vio-
linist and a soloist.

He is noted for his good
disposition and read>- wit.
His Irish ne\'er failing to j^-esent itself on every occasion.

On account of his literary abilities, he was made Editor-in-Chief of the
Reveille, and his capability of filling this position is fully exemplified in this
book. Also he is vSalutatorian for the class of 1901.

Mr. McDonnell has ne\'er boarded inside the college l)uil(liug, and to this fact
is due that he has never taken any acti\'e part in athletics. Although an ardent
supporter of .sports of all kinds he has never been connected with any of the ball
or track teams.

He howe\-er has a record as a wheelman.

He is Secretary and Treasurer of the June Ball organization, and Chairman
of the Arrangement Conunittee.

«ENRY CAMPBELL
WHITEFORD, Cap-
tain of Company A.

And it came to pass that
on December 23, 1880 near
Cambria, Harford Co., Md.
there was born into this
world a new being and he
was christened Henry
Campbell, alias "Dick" and
the child grew and showed
much understanding. He
had raven black hair and
was fair to look upon.

Now when he \\'as at first
young he attended the pub-
lic .school in his own neigh-
borhood a n d w h en hi s
father's prize cherry tree
was cut down by some v\\-
lain and he was accu.sed, he
replied "Father, I cannot
tell a lie, I didn't have any-
thing to do with it."

He now entered the

Delta High School, where

he won great favor in the

eyes of the fair sex.

In the Fall of 1898 he entered the vSophomore Class of Maryland Agricultural

College and has since .shown a great interest in his work which is agricultural

pursuits.

At the present time he is devoting much time on a work he is going to have
published on "How To Make Farming Pa}- Without Work."

Mr Whiteford has shown much ability in athletics, both as a manager and
as an athelete. He was Manager of the famous Foot Ball Team of the Fall of 1900
and is Captain of the present Ba.se Ball Team and also a worthy third ba.seman.

He is Secretary and Treasurer of the Ro.ssljourg Club and a very popular and
accomplished society man.

He is Prophet and Historian for the Class of 1901. He is also Chairman of
both the Floor and Refreshment Committees for the June Ball. "Dick" is one
of the mo.st popular young men at Maryland Agricultural College and has the
.student body as well as the entire faculty for his friends.

History of the Class of 19OL

©©©©

HE work of the Class of 1901, as a Class, is nearly completed.

For the last time it is my duty to present to }'ou a record of her
deeds for praise or censure.

We have nearly reached the goal toward which we ha\'e been

striving for four long years, and soon we will begin the sterner work
of life, conscious that we leave behind a record which will be
an example to future classes and one of which w^e are justly proud.
When twenty-two of us entered this institution as Freshmen in
1897, we could perhaps imagine what it was to be a sophomore
or perhaps a Junior, but we had only a very vague idea of what it
was to be a Senior, or of the responsibilities resting on him who had
been fortunate and studious enough to attain such distinction. On the 19th of
September '99 seventeen of us reported to duty but before the close of the >-ear
this numl)er had dwindled to seven, all of whom returned to take up their Junior
work. During this year our class suffered the loss of one more member, and our
surprise was still greater when we returned here as Seniors and found but four
members of our original twenty-two to enter into the final year.

On account of the small number of our present Senior Class, the responsi-
bilities which have fallen to our lot are greater perhaps, than on an>- previous
class. Principall>- along military lines has this deficiency in numbers been felt;
but with few exceptions everything has passed along as smoothly as in past years.
One mark of di.stinction which the Class of 1901 leaves behind it, is the
adoption of the United States Army Cap for Commissioned Officers. K^•en in our
Junior year we felt the need of more of a distinction between the officers and
privates; so with approval of our President and Conunandant the new Caps were
adopted, and that this was the proper thing to do, the unanimit>- of opinions has
a.ssured us. To the Class of 1901, belongs the honor of originating the College
Pin. This is a flag pin on which are the Maryland Colors.

Our Cla.ss has done her .share in athletics and what was lacking in cpiantity
was made U]i in ([uality, we have furnished men for l)<)th the base l)all and foot
ball teams.

We look Ijack to the commencement of 1900 with both joy and regret; joy in
so much that we knew we were soon to be Seniors, the omega of our college
course, sad for the reason tliat we knew we were soon to part with our school-
mates and instructors, perhaps never to see many of them again.

And now the year of 1901 has gone and with it many a glorious throng of
happy dreams, and there comes over us the sad feeling that we have passed our
last year as students at the Maryland Agricultural College. We keenly feel the
sorrow occasioned by the fact that we are about to part with our classmates, and
our schoolmates, man\- of whom we have learned to lo\-e as brothers, but remors-
less Time, fierce .spirit of the gla.ss and scythe, what power can stay him in his
silent course! But in parting there comes to us the stronger feeling that we must
"be up and doing, with a heart for any fate," and with a long deep sigh we .step
down from our place here as Seniors to take up our battle in the world, for we
know she is waiting for us to come and claim our portion of her dominion, and
so we bid you a sad and last adieu.

May our career be crowned with succe.ss, dcsen^ei, continuous, everlasting;
and may our beloved Alma Mater soar aloft to honors ever new, to fame more
la.sting than a monument of bronze.

EDITOR-IN-CHIEF AS HE REALLY IS.

The Cl&ss of 1901.

©©©©

Dear cluiins of inine, do you recall,

When college had l)cgim
The gladness of that glorious fall,

And how we spent the " nion ?"
The days of cheer the days of lieer.

The davs of zero one.

Sweetheart of mine do you recall,
When first my heart ^^ou won,

There were no lights in Chapel Hall,
But, oh, such loads of fun ?

Those da3'S of spark, those days of dark,
Those davs of zero one.

And Captain "Dick" do you recall.

The night at set of sun
We met, when each had made his haul.

Where vineyard* pathways run ?
Those days of scrapes, those dav-s of grapes,

Those davs of zero one.

Now class mates all, do you recall

How "Judge" would froth and foam,

The joy we found in teasing him,
When he was far from home ?

The days so dear, when naught we feared
The daj's of zero one.

Good friends of mine do you recall,
How "Dick" was w^on't to glide

Into the 'Ville on a balmy eve,
With his loved one by his side ?

Those days of moons, those days of spoons
Those days of zero one.

And learned Profs, do you recall
How "Limber" used to ride,

Around the hall vvnth many a fall
A pon}' called his pride ?

Those da^'s are past, the}- cannot last
Those davs of zero one.

But Students all do 3'()u recall

How " Mc" his tale did tell,
How "Judge" would try to hide his mirth

And always have a spell ?
Sometimes when free, just think of me

Of the class of zero one.

Dear College old, \ve now are told

Our four 3'ears course is done.
And yet the follies I recall

I would not have undone.
Those days when youth, came seeking truth

The davs of zero one.

*It was, in truth, a strawberry path, vineyard is used merely forsake of euphony.

Prophecy of 1901.

OR years we have retained in our family a most peculiar little
stone, which tradition claimed was possessed of supernatural
powers, but try as we might it was impossible to discover the true
history of the stone, or to ascertain what peculiar potency be-
longed to it. On one side of the stone, which is round and flat
like a die, are several Egyptian characters, l)ut the significance of
these had not been brought to light by the careful research of six
generations of my ancestors.

Some time ago while reading a l)ook written in the remote
past by some Eg3'ptian philosopher, I chanced to see a reference
to some magical stone which had belonged to one of the Pharoahs, and which was
supposed to give to him who used it aright the power to forsee the future.

From the description of the stone, I was .struck at once with the .similarity it
bore to the .stone in my po.s.se.s.sion, but the old writer did not explain how it was
to be used in order to produce its peculiar power, and to place man in po.s.session
of future knowledge.

For days and months I experimented with the .stone, using it in every way
imaginable, but obtained no satisfactory result.

It occurred to me that po.s.sibly some .specific knowledge must be desired,
some particular revelation in order to have the magic stone operate successfully,
so I determined to wish for the future of my cla.ssmates, and concentrated my
mind upon the one hope that the future lives of my classmates might be unfolded
to me; but try as I might I produced no unusual manifestation. I could not find
out the conditions under which the .stone would exhibit its latent power. I knew
that I po.sse.s.sed the means of acquiring a most marvelous gift — that of prophecy —
but what to do to the stone to make its peculiar influence effective, I could not
l)y any means determine. One night, after repeated experiments with the magic
stone, I lay in bed holding it in my hand trying to solve the mystery, when I
became drowsy and placing the .stone for safe keeping under my pillow, fell asleep.
Thus, by accident the necessary conditions were secured.

My dreams proved to me that it was only nece.ssary to sleep with the .stone
beneath my head.

I had solved the mystery which for months had baffled me. Of course, I
did not reahze this until I had waked in the morning, but then it was all clear,
I had wished for a knowledge of the future lives of my classmates, and in my
dreams of the night the whole future, as it related them, was revealed to me.

I dreamed I stood upon the shore of a boundless sea, with nothing around or
about me save the water and the sand; and as I stood there alone, a figure sud-
denly appeared before me as if having arisen from the waves, the figure stood by
my side and pointing over the mighty waves said: "This is the Sea of Eternity,
and in the bosom of the waters are mirrored all the past and all the future acts of
those who live, who have lived and who are to live on the earth, look, and you
may behold the life-picture which 3'ou desire to see."

Looking out on the sea I beheld the gray- walled college building of Maryland
Agricultural College and saw therein my classmates and myself. Here in this
room, just as we are to-night, and all our past lives and all our future lives were
there reflected on the bosom of the waters in a succession of pictures, marking our
whole existence, from cradle to the grave.

As best I can remember, the pictures I will show you, taking up the lives of
each. The last picture showed me a death-bed scene and grief stricken faces of
friends. These I will omit, speaking only of those which were bright and
pleasant to dwell upon.

The first picture that presented itself to me was the familiar figure of Cobey,
hard at work in what I recognized to be one of the Departments of Agriculture
in Washington and as I gazed upon this picture I knew that our Major's hopes
of entering the Department had been fully realized. How happy he looked. As
busily engaged in his investigations he did not appear to notice anything around
him. On a closer investigation of the place I glanced over his book shelf where
my eye was at once arrested by three mammoth volumes, all by W. W. Cobey, Jr.,
B. S., M. S., F. R. S., of U. S. A., Scientific Investigations. The picture began
to disappear, farther and farther it became until finally it faded from view. A
new picture appeared to ni}' sight and I saw him in a foreign country, which I
knew to be Argentine Republic, and by his surroundings I saw that he was at the
head of the National Department of Agriculture. He had a small armj^ of assist-
ants and he directed the affairs of his department with a firm and steady hand.
He looked older, somewhat gray, but still happy, and as I looked a woman
appeared at the doorway. She was tall and slender and had coal black eyes,
I recognized at once in her a typical South American beauty. My old school-
mate looked up from his desk, and I saw at once by the pleased expression and
affectionate meeting that she was his wife. Soon appeared a fine looking, dark-
complexioned little man about six 3^ears of age and I heard the words "come to
papa, Whiteford' " and I saw that my old friend still remembered me and although
I had not heard of him for twelve years he had given his first boy my surname,
and at this point the picture vanished.

I called out to know something of Hardisty and there, at once, arose before
me the scene of a student surrounded with law books and papers, in fact the
typical picture of a student buried midst the intracacies of Blackstone, of Pepper
and Louis, and of Parsons. The picture changed, I saw him standing before a
jury, I saw the prisoner in the box, the tears of distress and the agony of dispair
depicted on his sad and broken countenance as he thought of the everlasting
shame and disgrace that was upon him for a crime -of which he knew nothing.

I saw the passionate bursts of eloquence from him who defended the accused.
I saw the jury wa\-er, I saw the foreman rise and heard him address the judge;
' 'Jiid.^'e, your honor, we have unanimously agreed, not guilty. ' ' I saw a flash of jov
in the prisoner's eye as he came forward and clasped the hand of my old friend and
all the people of the courtroom marveled among themselves and said "Who is
this man."

A third picture appears and I see him again, lecturing on languages in the
Montana University and I thought how changed a scene this is from some I have
.seen in which he was chief participant at Maryland Agricultural College. The
lecture finished, I .see him drive away in a fine carriage driven by his own coach-
man and having outriders in livery.

Again the .scene changes and I viewed him on his magnificent stock farm
Avhere he appeared to take the greatest delight in his ponies, and there appeared
to be a mutual trust between them for they ran to him as soon as he appeared and
followed him wherever he went. But here the .scene changed and a great picture
was spread open before me I saw McDonnell working as chief draughtsman for a
might}' manufacturing company and before him were the drawings of a quadruple
expansion marine engine of his own design. He handled them in a manner that
at once .showed him to he a master of his subject. Nothing escaped his eye. I
saw the monster ship waiting for her machinery; I saw him superintend the plac-
ing of that machinery and noted with what great care every part was put to its
place.

vSuddenly it grew dark and then the lights again came and I saw a new .scene
I beheld a man bu.sy in his office in a i)art of the large building bearing the
mode.st sign "The McDonnell Locomotive Works." I recognized at once in him
the same who years ago told all the latest stories, and how we u.sed to gather
around him at Maryland Agricultural College, eager with expectation and never
disap])()inted in hearing him tell, in his witty manner, the latest joke. P>en now
as I saw him bus>- directing the giant works bearing his name he showed the
twinkle in his black eyes and I thought to myself, "Gone but not forgotten."

Again the scence changed and there appeared the last member of that famous
class of 1 90 1 and this was Whiteford, he was in Geniva at one of the large uni-
versities, .studying Pathology. As I looked I saw him climbing over the Aljxs,
off on a tour of inspection of the forest trees. The pea.sants stop to look at him
as they ])ass for the>- have heard of his wonderful learning and if ])erchance he

speaks to them they are deUghted. He speaks their language perfectly and
learns much of their simple life.

In the last picture I see him in his own private office acting in the capacity
of State Pathologist of New Mexico, like the rest of his classmates he has been
successful, and has become an absolute necessity in New Mexico. I see a class
of college students at a German University studying Pathology and in their hands
they carry text books by H. C. Whiteford, State Pathologist of New Mexico,
author of Fruits and Fruit Trees of Switzerland. A Treatise on the Fungi of
Live Stock, How to make Hens Lay, etc., etc., and the picture vanished.

The moon shown brightly and the waves splashed up over my feet and I was

alone.

Uij'tory of the Clz^^j^j^ of I902.

6©0©

HOW short a time it seems since we began our career as students of
the Maryland Agricultural College! Yet in realty it has been
nearly three years.

At that time we were Freshmen and need I recite to you again
the troubles which naturally came to us from the Sophomores? No.
I shall simply say that we received our dues as Freshmen and I
think took them in good part for we realized that our Sophomore
year must come.

We began with a very promising class of thirty-two members,
four of which, by hard training succeeded in getting on the
foot-ball team and in that sport did honor not only to the class of
1902, but to our alma mater.

In short time (although it seemed an age to us) Thanksgiving rolled around.
Most of us partook of the privilege thus offered and visited our respective homes
and as a matter of course, spent a very pleasant, but seemingly a very brief holi-
day. This pleasure was soon followed by Christmas and again all of us spent a
pleasant fortnight.

A very short time after we returned we found that our first examinations at
College were upon us, but these we conquered without nuich difficulty.

From this time to the beginning of baseball season, time hung heavily on our
hands, there being no outdoor sport to attract our attention. However when the
long-looked-for season did arrive, we were ready with our full quota of men for
the team. This season the team was a ver}- good one and doubtless would have
won the championship of the State and District of Columbia, had it not been that
just before the decisive game was to be played, three of our best men were com-
pelled to leave College. Despite this fact however, we were beaten by only one
run.

vSpring soon developed into vSiuiuner and we found that our second and final

examinations for the year were at hand. We were not so successful in these as

we had been in the previous ones, but most of us succeeded in passing the ordeal.

Now the ])leasures of Conunencement were at hand — pleasures indeed they

were — examinations all over and nothing to worry us, in fact, nothing to do but

3«

enjo}' ourselves. These few days at sport were soon over and we went to our
homes, each one to enjoy himself in his own way.

These three months passed by only too quickly and we were soon called upon
to resume our duties at the Maryland Agricultural College, this time as Sopho-
mores indeed, but our number was sadly decreased. Four new men joined us
this year, Messrs. Coudon, Lansdale, Wisner and Woolf, making a class of
twenty.

Although our number was few this year, we showed up fairly well on the
athletic field. One of our men was awarded the medal for being the best tennis
player in College. We also carried off .several medals at the track meet, besides
having several men on both the football and baseball teams.

Our lessons were very much more difficult this year than they had been the
previous one and we felt the effects of it very materially for at the end of the year
we found ourselves with only twelve men.

We .spent our second summer very pleasantly and returned this year feeling
fully competent to take up the work of Juniors.

We had but two men on the foot ball team this fall, one at which Peters was
the captain and recognized star player.

The third year of our College life is nearly now at an end and we see staring
us in the face the duties and responsibilities of Seniors. May we all take them
up and go through with them in such a manner as shall be a credit not only to

our cla.ss but to our Alma Mater.

History of the Cld^ss of 1903,

*«^

\»/ \f/ \t/

H well do I remember, it was in the mild vSeptember, and each
sad uncertain Freshman glided through the College door.

We were thirty-seven in number. Thirty-seven bo}-s who
had come to the conclusion that it was time for us to prepare for
our future welfare. Let me pass lightly over the time between
September and Christmas which was taken up mostly in hard
studying and the laying of a firm foundation for four years work.
Chri-stmas came near bringing wdth it the anticipation of its
joys and pleasures, crowding out all other thoughts of work, for
a week beforehand. Of course all of us went to our respective
homes, and were then w^ell repaid for the hard studying we had
done. Then we came back and after pining a short while for
home got down to hard work, remaining so for five months, our
efforts were well rewarded by an entrance into the Sophomore class. The most
of the .spring w'as taken up in ba.seball and I can truthfully .say that we were well
represented in that line of Athletics. Then came the thirteenth of June when all
of the students were released from their work and allowed to go home for a long
vacation. As " Time and tide wait for no man," the three months .soon flew by
and we found ourselves once again inside the walls of Maryland Agricultural Col-
lege, not with the fear and trembling of a Freshman but with the bravery and
fortitude of a Sophomore. Our class had decreased from thirty-seven to twenty-
seven and we once again .started our work w^hicli was harder than that of the pre-
ceding 5^ear. Foot ball first broke the monotony of study and it was with all the
voice that our class could collect that we cheered our repre.sentatives. I^eft guard,
quarter back, right guard, left tackle, left and right half back, who always came
off with the honors of any game in which they were engaged. Soon the Thanks-
giving holidays came and we went home to enjoy the fe.stivities of that day after
which we returned and began to prepare for our first examinations as Sophomores.
The.se came off one week before Christmas and I can proudly say that all but one
or two .succeeded in pa.ssing, then we went home and regained our .strength which
had been lost in the preparation for the examinations. But that holiday did not last
long and soon we found ourseh-es again at the same old thing— study. Neverthe-

less after a short spell of homesickness we got down to hard work, but the work-
ing order of the class was broken now not by a holida}- but b^^ something that
caused not tears of joy but tears of sorrow — our President left us. For three
3'ears he has been President of his class First — Preparatory- — Freshman — Sopho-
more and he was loved and respected by all of his class mates and all who knew
him. He was our best representative in Football and Baseball and as an officer
he was unsurpassed. When he left us he was first Sergeant of C company, which
was a rare thing for a Sophomore. It was a long time before the class could get
over the loss of him, but as "Time cures all things," we started our work again
and kept it up until the close of the course which was hailed b}^ everyone with
great joy. Soon after this the Base Ball season started and out of our band there
were four who did credit to their class. Again the school work was brought to a
close by the appearance of the Easter holiday's and we all went home to enjoy
that long looked for festival of the Spring. But of course we soon came back and
took up the last reminant of Sophomere burden. We pushed on toward Junior
honors which were received by twenty boys eager to follow the steps of the class
of 1902, not as a class but as obedient ser\^ants. Now classmates let all rally
around the banner of the white and the blue and sally on with the intellect of
Webster, the arm of Alexander, the heart of Napoleon to the height of our am-
bition — the Senior class with this motto —

Class of 1904.

Hi^rtory of the Cla*/*^ of 1904-

©©©©

T was a bright day during the fall — that season of the year in
which " mother nature," seems to prepare herself for the sever-
it\- of the winter, — when about thirty-five boys arrived at Col-
lege Station, on their wa>- to the Maryland Agricultural College.
£ \r- Feelings of mingled fear and hope filled the heart of every

^CM| one as they viewed the veneral^le-looking structure. At la.st,

V* after a half mile tramp, they arrived at the college and after a

kind reception b\- the President, they were showed to their re-
spective quarters by the Cadet Major. Once that the examina-
tions had been taken, they began to put their rooms in a better
.shape and to prepare for the hard ta.sk which lay before them. Their first night
was a night of varied emotions, but it pa.ssed as everything passes on this terres-
tial ball, and the bright morning with her perfumes and l^rilliancy came to en-
lighten the hearts of those, who for the first time had spent a night at Maryland
Agricultural College.

A week passed and after that, another and they found themselves surrounded
by books and work. Meanwhile the Foot Ball .season had come and oh how
proud is " 1904 " to say that four of her members were representing her on the
team and that, ever>- one did his duty !

With Foot Ball and fall sports, the time .sped away and soon here was
Thank.sgiving — as an oa.sis in the mid.st of a desert. Many of our members went
home to spend the.se few days of recreation. But like all pleasures, they soon
were gone and the boys soon found them.selves back at Maryland Agricultural
College refreshed and happy. The time pa.s.sed pleasanth-, but alas! an ob.stacle
came in our way; that ob.stacle which is feared b\- all the students, the exam-
inations. They pa.ssed by heroic effort and I am glad to say that very few of our
members were left behind.

The next day came on Christmas was here, yes, Christmas, that .sea.son of
the year dedicated to home and the Lares; that season in which everybody seems
to be happy, had come. Our members went home to enjo^- the .short .season.
Christmas passed and the twentieth century came to find us again at the old jilace.
Ihit what a change had been wrought in my cla.ssmates. In the face of each of
them there was ])ainted a resolution — tho.se who were back had resolved to be
good, and tho.se who were good had resoh'cd to be better.

The monotony of the winter was broken by the Fourth of March — the day
of the Inauguration of the President of the United vStates. The Maryland Agri-
cultural College Cadet Batallion march into Washington and covered itself with
glory b>- their excellent drill and discijiline.

Soon the beautiful Spring was here and with the vSpring its Athletics.
Nineteen hundred and four was specially distinguished in Base Ball. Five of our
members joined the team and there work was magnificent. But, while we were
directing our attention to the Base Ball, the examinations came to disturb us
again. These did not seem so terryf^-ing to us as did the former ones, and the
majority of us made excellent records. Easter with its flowers came, and home
we went to enjo}' the happy season.

We were now in the midst of the Base Ball season and I must say that some
of our members made a most enviable record. Our attention was also given to
the Track Team, and there also man}- of our members were distinguished.

The final examinations were here — this is the final struggle — the decisive
battle. The goal at last was reached and most of our members were converted
from timid Freshmen into dreaded Sophomores. The happiest season came —
the Commencement exerci.ses, which were enjoyed very nuich by all of us.

Love~A Contradiction,

Love is the smile on a woman's bright face —
Love is the tear in that woman's sad eye;

Love is the sunshine that brightens the earth-
Love is the cloud that darkens the sky.

Love breathes a prayer "I thank Thee, O God,
For such peace and sixch J03'," — and the prayer is said:

Love kneels long in the midst of her anguish,
Crying, "Have merc}^ — I would I were dead."

Love is the star that guides onward to glory-
Love is the grave wherein Ijuried hopes lie:

Love is a spirit of light and of darkness —
Lives but a moment, yet never can die.

Science a^nd The Arts.

e©©©

\'I{X at this late day in the progress of civilazation, it ina_\- not be out of
place to call attention to some phrases of the mutual relation existing
between Science and Arts in the devolpment of each; for it is to be

regretted that it has not yet come to pass that there is entire
sympathy between the pure scientist and the practical man. In the
laboratories of our universities men are devoting their best energies
to research and investigation along lines which to the every-day
world seem to be utterl}^ useless; while on the other hand, the efforts
of those who are engaged in the endeavor to render more efficient
the processes of manufacture, to improve the facilities for communi-
cation and transportation, and to make "two blades of grass grow
where but one grew before," receive but too seldom the appreciation
due them from those interested in pure science. Although we must
recognize the distinction between the aims of these two classes of
workers — the scientists and the engineers, the helpfulness of each

to the other forms an interesting example of the interdependence
of human activities.

The incentive which actuates the scientist to devote his life to the solution of
problems which promise to serve no utilitarian end, is the love of truth for the
sake of truth — the desire to add to the world's stock of knowledge — the ambition
to wrest from Nature some portion of those secrets to which she clings so tena-
ciously vSurely this is a sufficient justification for his labor; for it is a high and
ideal motive, which cannot receive too great commendation, and is moreover the
only one the scientist can afford to keep before him with the ho])e of olitaining
the full measure of success in his chosen field. But although the motive of the
pure scientist is not a utilitarian one, nc\-erthele.ss the results of his efforts have
been of inestimable value in the promotion of the arts. Many examjiles may be
quoted to illustrate the unexpected applications of researches in pure science to
])ractical ])roblems.

In the early part of the last century Joseph Henry in America, and Michael
Faraday in Ivngland were working inde])endently on the j^roblem of the connection
between magnetism and electricity. The former in iM,V) and the latter in the

following year discovered that an electric current is produced in a closed conduct-
ing circuit whenever the field of magnetic force through the circuit is changed.
Upon this discovery electrical engineering may be said to have its foundation; for
it is by the application of this principle of induced currents that the modern elec-
trical generator or dynamo has been made possible.

Clerk Maxwell, an English physicist and mathematician, was lead by a
study of Faraday's researches and the application of mathematical reasoning to
them to state in 1865 his electro-magnetic theory of light. In this theory he
assumed that the vibrations which effect the sense of sight are periodic electro-
magnetic disturbances in the ether. If this be true, any electrical oscillation
should produce ether waves. Whether these are what we know as light-waves
or not depends simply upon their length or period of vibration. At that time no
such electric waves had been experimentally produced; but before the close of
1888 Heinrich Hertz, a German phj^sicist, had devised methods of producing these
waves in the laboratory, and had shown that they obey the same laws as ordinary
light-waves. From this chain of careful obserA-ation by Faraday, suggestive
hypothesis by Maxwell and experimental verification by Hertz has developed a
remarkable application to practical life; for it is by the work of these men that the
young Italian scientist, Marconi, has been able to make practicable a wonderful
system of telegraphing through space without intermediate conducting wires.

A problem to which physicists have given much attention in recent years is
the phenomona connected with the electrical discharge through gases at low pres-
sure — apparently, a matter of purely theoretical interest. Yet while engaged in
such research \V. C. Roentgen came upon a new form of radiation, which has
received the name of the Roentgen or X-rays, and which in its application has
proven of great A-alue to the surgeon by affording him a photographic method of
locating foreign substances in the human body.

Today physicists are attacking a most difficult problem in pure science,
namely, the ultimate constitution of matter and its connection with the ether.
This is a problem which seems almost impossible of solution, and in which one
cannot forsee a utilitarian end. Yet who would dare predict that the results of
these investigations are to be of no value to those whose function it is to apply
natural laws to the material needs of mankind?

Passing to a consideration of the influence of the arts upon pure science, we
find that while the engineer is ever actuated by a utilitarian purpose, yet his work
has had great effect in the advancement of pure science. We may trace this
effect to two principal causes: first, the interest which is aroused in problems
whose solutions are demanded by the needs of the arts; and secondly, the facilities
for research which are afforded by processes which are carried out on the large
scale of our modern industrial plants. To these we may add the skill of the
artisan, to whose handiwork the scientist is indebted for those instruments of

precision which enable him to attain the degree of accuracy which his work
requires.

Chemistry as a science owes much to the labors of the alchemists, who were
engaged in what from their point of view was a useful endeavor. By all sorts of
combinations of substances they sought to find the "philosopher's stone" with
which to transnuite the base metals into gold. In this we have an example
where pure science grew out of utilitarianism.

When ocean cables began to be used for telegraphing, there was a demand
for accurate methods for the measurement of the various electrical quantities in-
volved. The investigation and solution of these problems by Lord Kelvin gave
a great impulse to electrical science from the theoretical side.

The large scale on which electrical machinery has been constructed to gene-
rate the powerful currents which are utilized in lighting our houses and streets,
and in propelling our cars and trains, has revealed to the scientist effects too
minute to be noticed in the ordinary laboratory experiments. Much has been
learned of the magnetic properties of metals by the use of the intense magnetic
fields of force thus provided.

No better example of the part played by the skill of the artisan can be found
than in the requirements of a new form of spectroscope recentl}' designed by
Prof. Michelson of the Universit)' of Chicago. The Echelon Spectroscope, as it
is called, consists of a pile of plain parallel plates of optical glass. The variation
in the thickness of one of these plates must nowhere exceed a few one-hundredths
of the length of a light-wave, that is, about one five-hundred-thousandth of an
inch. Without the patient skill of the optician, who grinds and polishes these
plates, a valuable aid to research would be lo.st to the scientific world.

Many more instances might be cited to illustrate this mutual relation between
science and the arts; but those which have l^een mentioned will serve at least to
.some extent to show the importance of each to the other.

May we hope that .scientist and engineer will each continue to go forward
with unabated enthusiasm and untiring industr>- in his chosen work, but that
each may have for the other a feeling of sincere gratitude and hearty good-
fellowship.

Though to both of you is precious.

You Freshman, poor imposed on boy,

(No wonder that he sighs)
To rise from dreams of perfect joy

When he be great and wise.

Our Milit&.ry Depd^rtment.

By Maj. J. C. Scantling, U. S. Army.
Com)}ianda)it of Cadets.

"War is the history of na.tions."

TO test the truthfulness of this statement we have but to read the
history of any nation, whether ancient or modern. The passion
for worldly power is far greater than any other passion, hence the
military record of mankind is of the greatest scope, and of un-
flagging interest. It pos.se.sses a fascination — a brilliancy not
found in any other branch of history, and the impres.sion it .stamps
upon the mind remains fresh and vivid long after memories of
other acliievments have pa.s.sed awa\-.

However skeptical we may be in regard to the early records of
mankind, we find that .similar events mark the growth of modern
nations that we find recorded in history respecting the growth of ancient nations.
What we call civilization, does not lessen the cau.ses of war as claimed. The
higher the civilization the more deliberate, but greater the power, and the ends
aimed at and accomplished are the same. The great progress attained by the art
of war during the past half century has rendered conflicts far more destructive to
life and property than ever before. Every scientific and technical improvement
is taken advantage of and utilized as much as possible by the civilized nations
with a view to aggrandizement in worldly power.

The mobilization of armies and their rapid concentration at any given point
in numerous ma.sses is effected with marvellous rapidity, owing to the perfected
organization and to the improved means of transportation by land and sea.

Naturally, the development of the art of war began on land, but if we may
judge by the .signs of the times and the march of events the sea shall be no less
renowned in the future than the land for its campaigns and its battles.

We are a young nation, ver}' young, compared with other nations, but great
as the greatest in wealth and genius, and it may be said in the interest of our
navy that the future can have no greater possibilities in store for us than what
may be the .sequel to the coming history of the great navies of the world.

The recent development in sea-coast artillery is but the .sequence in the
growth of nations. Its importance to the world will continue to increase as the
great nations of the earth .seek to excel in .sea powers.

The demands of the mihtary profession employ more men than any other call-
ing — exclusive of the standing army. Just in measure as commerce extends, so
does the demand for means of protection expand. Our army Avorking so nobly
in distant lands to-day was, but a few years ago fighting the Indians to a finish,
sur\-eying and mapping the great West, and making possible the advancement of
our internal improvements. Following in its wake over the great plains came,
first, the Pony Express. Then the stage coach, and then in 1S70, the great
Central Pacific Railway, from Omaha to San Francisco.

The Indians sudued, the plains mapped, and the great arteries for the trans-
fer of conunerce over the great West, no longer requiring its protection, the army
joining hands with the navy, crossed the seas, carrying the stars and .strips victor-
iously to other lands, not for the purpo.se of conquest, but in the interest of
humanity.

The })ublic sentiment of our country- had long been averse to the Spanish
rule in Cuba, and it onh' remained for some overt act on the part of vSpain to cause
our people to take up arms against that country in the interest of Cuba. This
came in the blowing up of the ill-fated Maine, in Havana harbor, February 15,
1898. Congress was in .session, and the people forced the Government to declare
war again.st Spain. This came on April 21, 1898 — with an army of only 27,000
men — we seemed ill-prepared for war with a country possessing an army of ten
times that number. But from the Vjlowing up of the Maine our regular troops
were rushed to fortified points and camps East and South, along the Atlantic
coast and the Gulf of Mexico, and in .six weeks from the declaration of war 250,-
000 volunteers had been rai.sed and equipped, tran.sported from all parts of our
country to re-enforce the regular troops.

Ten days after war was declared — -May i — Dewey commanding the Asiatic fleet
of six ve.s.sels, entered the fortified Ba^^ of Manilla, from Hongkong, and in eight
hours destroyed the Spanish fleet of ten war ve.s.sels and two auxiliary gunboats,
captured an armed tran.sport and a crui.ser, and some thirty steamers, tugs and
schooners and the naval station and all the forts at Cavite, thus having the bay
and the City of Manila, of 300,000 inhabitants, completely under his control.

This was a bold dash, when it is considered that our fleet was 10,000 miles
from home, with all foreign ])o.sts clo.sed against it, and mark too, how successful:
not a man killed and but nine wounded, and not a vessel materially injured, while
the vSpanish lo.st 381 killed and wounded, and 13,000 officers and men taken j^-is-
oners, nearly 5,000 more than the total number of our fleet.

On the 3d of July came our .second and last na^•al engagement in this war
with Spain. The North Atlantic fleet, consi.sting of the vessels New York,
Brooklyn, Oregon, Iowa and Texas and the gunboat Gloucester, completely
destroyed Admiral Cervera's fleet, consisting of the Maria Theresa, Oquenda,
\'i.scaya, Cri.stobal Colon and two torpedo destroyers, in three hours — off Santiago
de Cuba. The Spanish war ve.s.sels came out of Santiago Bay, one l)y one, at

full speed, and headed westward. The plan was to escape if possible. Our fleet
was ready for them, and a terrible running fight ensued. Five of the Spanish
vessels were on fire in thirty minutes from the time the engagement began.
The.se sank one after the other near the shore, where they had been run, riddled
with shot and .shell. The flagship Christobol Colon ran some fifty miles, when
she met with a fate like that of her companions.

Our lo.ss here was one man killed and but one wounded, and not a vessel
seriously injured, whilst the vSpanish lost 600 killed, wounded and drowned, and
the Admiral, with 1300 officers and men, taken prisoners. The.se two naval
victories stand unequaled in the history of the world as to brilliancy of results
and the disparity of the los.ses.

On land our forces w^ere equally successful. With her nav}- destroyed and
Manila, Porto Rico and the fortified city of Santiago captured, Spain suing for
peace, brought the war to an end, with the loss of all her West Indies possessions
and the Philippines.

Starting with an army of 27,000 we literally destroyed Spain, both on land and
sea, in less than three months, taking from her over 200,000 prisoners and untold
wealth in war ves.sels, fortifications and other munitions of war, without the loss
of a gun, flag or a ves.sel of any description, a record unequalled in the history of
nations.

This wonderful success astounded all of Europe, where the military critics
predicted our defeat, both on land and water, at the begiiuiing. But probably
none were more a.stonished than ourselves at the resourcefulness of our govern-
ment and the wealth of our country.

Our people ha\'e always been averse to a large standing army, but the de^•el-
opment of our resources would seem to have awakened a desire in them for
worldly power, which no political party seems sufficiently potent to check. This
.spirit of expansion compelled the last Congress to increase our standing army
from 27,000 to 100,000 officers and men, not only this but a bill was pa.ssed and
appro^•ed by the President, whereby any public school in the country ma>- secure
the .services of a retired army officer as in.structor in military .science and tactics.
Heretofore such details were made for universities and colleges only.

The military department of this college was established March nth, 1868,
and, we hope, is equal to the be.st of any of the State institutions in the country.

The antipath\- to a .standing arnn- in this country, very naturally extends
to any military training as a part of our school system. But the lieneficial re-
sults attained from the .services of those who have been educated at our military
.schools, would .seem to be gaining recognition, as .shown by the measure recently
passed by Congress, to which reference has been made, and to the destruction of
the Spanish rule in Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines, to say nothing of the
service in the opening up of the great West, the reconstruction of the Southern

States following the Civil War, the peaceful suppression of the great labor strikes
at various times in the history of the country.

It is not generally recognized, if understood, that all governments " of the
people, by the people and for the people," are formed by the military, and turned
over to the people, as is now being done in Cuba, Porto Rico, and Philippines.

The daily half-hour instructions in marching, in the manual of arms, and
in company and battalion drills, secures a healthful out-door exercise for students.
It is that, and more. They are trained in their exercises, intuitively, to a system
of organization that governs mankind.

It is not the intention of this article to give in detail the system of a military
school, but in conclusion, suffice it to say, ever}- morning at 6.30, the shrill notes
of a bugle, sounding reveille, echo and re-echo within the walls of our college
building. It is a pleasant awakening of the students to the duties of a new
born day. Some would linger here a little, but the consequences emphasize the
duty of punctuality.

The system is compulsory education. It holds each individual student well
in hand, and the manner of passing his time, day or night, is recorded. The
rules are fair and just to all, and go a long waj'S in making honest and just men
out of wayward and capricious boys.

A SOLDIER ON PARADE.

Bradford's Latest Fad (?)

C©9©

Who is this man with lantern Ijright,
Who steals along at dead of night

So stealthily and slow ?
Is it some one on vengeance bent,
Who creeps along with dire intent

Upon a sleeping foe ?

Oh no, 'tis nothing half so bad —
This chap is but a college lad,

And not on mischief bent.
'Tis Bradford, of the M. A. C—
Don't you recall the Captain's tea ?

Well this is how he went.

With musket bright and cartridge case,
And bayonet all fixed in place.

And lantern burning bright.
He struck a military gait
And hastened lest he be too late —

Ye gods, it was a sight !

Was Bradford scared ? or was he mad ?
Or was it just his latest fad ? —

At least you will agree
'Tis very odd to take a gun
And put one's war equipments on

When going out to tea.

HE New Mercer Literary vSociety, which is a factor of the College
Course, was first organized just forty years ago.

In 1 86 1 the need of a literary society being strongly felt, Dr.
— William N. Mercer put forth his best efforts, out of which grew

fsf* *sf* »9/*

fsf* #f/» *sf»

▼ T ▼

this important department of the Maryland Agricultural College,
of which he was afterwards justly proud. The Society flourished
for some years, but unfortunately with the death of its founder
it began to decline, and in 1889 ceased to exist.

This period of discontinuance in literary work la.sted for several
years; but in 1892 the great necessity of such an organization
with its many benefits being again strongly felt, and the literary
minds of the College yearning for place and opportunity to pour forth their
thoughts and to listen to those of others on various questions, cau.sed another
effort to spring uj), and through the energy of some enthusiastic workers it was
reorganized, with Mr. F. B. Bomberger as its president, thus the vSociety
flourished for two years with many laudable entertainments.

In 1895 the literary work of the College was carried on by an organization
modeled after the Knglish Hou.se of Commons. The following year the literary
body represented our own form of government ; with a Senate compo.sed of the
Senior and Junior Classes and a Hou.se of Repre.sentatises consisting of the Soph-
omore Class. This did not last long, however, and in the fall of 1896 the cla.ss of
'97 again organized the New Mercer Literary Societ>-, which .still exi.sts. Mr. \V.
S. Weedon, as president for that \ear, filled the office with credit.

Once again on a sound foundation the vSociety has been ever progressing with
a steady increa.se of members. In 1899 it furni.shed the princijial orator, Mr. H.
J. Kefauver and thu alternate, Mr. \V. H. Weigand, to the Orilorical Contest of
Maryland Colleges ; and carried off second honors.

In 1900 it again furnished the alternate orator, in the person of Mr. H. J.

90.

Kefauver its president, and bids fair to furnish the principal for the contest of
1 90 1.

As President of the Society during the past year, Mr. John T. Hardisty has
done able and efficient work in making it a success.

The 3'ear has been one of progress for the organization, and its members have
done themselves, as well as the Society, great credit in the able debates put forth
at the public meetings between our own and the Morrill Society.

Many thanks are due Professor Charles S. Richardson for the deep interest he
has taken in the Society, and for the helping hand he has always so willingly and
enthusiastically^ extended to its members, indeed we thoroughly appreciate the in-
terest the faculty has shown, by their presence at our meetings.

We feel a keen interest in the literary work of the College; which work is so
essential to the success of every man in this period of enlightment and progress ;
for we cannot but realize that in every vocation of life there may come a time
when a man must get upon his feet and make a speech or put forth an argument
which is of infinite value to him ; and we know that there is no better place to
learn to do this than in our literary societies during our college days. We there-
fore most earnestly implore those who follow in our foot-steps to lend time and
aid to carry on this work with renew^ed interest and determination that will not be
satisfied until it has carried the literary standard of the college to its very highest
point, and every benefit has been reaped therefrom. And with the belief that
this will be, and that in the years soon to come this Society will rank among the
first of the South ; there comes forth the cry^ long live the New Mercer Literary
Society of Maryland Agricultural Society.

"Is /earning your ambifon?
There is no royal road,
Alike tiie peer and peasant

Who feels that thirst for Anowlcdge,

If he hath but the Roman will

"i . . .

THE Morrill Literar>- vSociety had its inception in 1S94, through the
efforts of Professor R. H. Alvey. It was named in honor of
Senator Morrill, who did so much to aid the land-grant Agricul-
tural Colleges in the United States. After an existence of only
one year it was absorbed 1)\- the other literary organizations of
the College.

During the session of 1S99-1900, The Morrill vSociety was re-
organized through the efforts of Mr. H. J. Kefauver. President of
the New iSIercer, with Mr. W. H. Wiegand as its first president.

It was the idea of its fotmders that the competition between the
two societies would ])r()duce more perfect work in both.

That they were right in this view has been shown by the
i::creased interest in the work, manifested by the .students in the
two seasons of the Morrill .Society's existence.

The competition has been especially keen dttring the present }'ear, and the
monthl}- debates were excellently attended. In these debates the work done l)y
memb'crs of both societies deserves much commendation. A])ropos of this it may
be said that the Morrill usually gained the decision.

Much of the good work done by the Society is due to the untiring eft'orts of
the President and of the Progrannne Conunittee to n:ake the sessions as interesting
and instructive as possil)le.

Thanks are also due to Professor C. vS. Richardson, our efficient instructor in
b'locution, for his kindness in giving the Society many valual)le suggestions, and
whf) also rendered great aid to the Programme Conunittee in making out the
programmes.

Let us ho])e that the Morrill Societ\- will continue to exist and carry on its
present good work, and may the clas.ses of the future take e\'en a greater interest
in the work than tho.se of the ]iast.

In course of time we hojK'that this branch of the College work will be ])Iaced
in its true position as among the most inijiortant in the College curriculum.

Athletic*/*.

QOOQ

WE come again to take up one of the most essential parts of everj''
man's career while at college, and that is Athletics. The inter-
est that has l^een manifested in this sport has been shown b}^ the
fine teams that the College has turned out during the past few
years and the records which they have made speak for themselves.
But we will take up this branch of our college life during the
seasons of 'oo and 'oi. The baseball season of nineteen hundred
was one of the most successful that we have ever had along that
line of athletics.

Our season opened under the most auspicious circumstances
at Washington on the twenty-eighth of March; there we met the strong 'Varsity
team of Georgetown and after a hard fought game were defeated by the score of
6 to o. Although we lost this game anyone who knew^ the score that George-
town rolled up against the best University teams of this country, will acknowl-
edge that this was a remarkable showing for our team.

During Easter week we played a game at Annapolis with the United States
Naval Academy. It would have been an eas}' victory for our team had not there
been an error made at a critical .stage of the game.

We next played three games with the strong Y. M. C. A. team of Washing-
ton, but we were so unfortunate that we did not wdn a game. The last one was
an example of over-confidence. When the ninth inning began the score was 9 to
2 in favor of the Maryland boys. Every man was confident that we would carry
away the honors. But when the game ended our hearts were not as gay as they
were a few moments before. The .score stood 10 to 9 in favor of the Y. M. C. A.
There was one consolation, however, and that was to no one alone could we at-
tribute the lo.sing of the game. But every one was equally to blame for it. The
fifth game of importance ' was with Gallaudet College. It was one of the most
exciting that has been played on our grounds for years and not until the la.st man
was called " out " were we sure of victory.

Our team next took a trip to that "' most Beautiful Town," Alexandria, to
play a game with the Episcopal High vSchool which from start to fini.sh was

100

crowded with man}- brilliant plays b}- our team. We were again successful. I
think before going further, it is my duty to mention here that the baseball team
of the Mar}-land Agricultural College wishes to thank the student body of Episco-
pal High School for the treatment that they received.

At Emmittsburg we were defeated by Mt. St. Mary's College.

At Rockville we added another victory to our li.st.

At College Park, Western High School, Business High School, Gibraltar
Athletic Club and Central High School went down before our team.

Before leaving baseball I want to say a few words about our present team.
The schedule which has been arranged through the earnest efforts of our
manager is one that any college would be proud to have. During the Easter
holidays the team expect to take a trip through Virginia playing in the meantime
six of the best Colleges in the State and I am sure that that trip will prepare our
men to meet every team afterwards successfully.

The season of 1900 marked a new era in the history of tennis and track teams
in our College and everything points to a great improvement along those lines in
the coming spring.

The Tennis tournament which was held at College last June was very inter-
esting. A number of students contested. Fendall carried away the honors.

There were a number of medals given by the Athletic Association last June
to the students who were successful on field day. This of course aroused great in-
terest and A\ hen field-day came there were a great many students contesting for
each prize. The following were successful:

loo-yards dash Matthews.

220-5'ards Weigand.

j<{ mile Kefauver.

1/2 mile W^eigand.

I mile Dickey.

r 20-yard hurdle racj Mackall.

High Jump J. Hopkins.

Broad Jump Peters.

Shot Put Peters.

The Class Relay was one of the most attractive features of the day. The
Senior Relay team composed of Weigand, Kefauver, Choate and Church, won.

Our last football team under the captaincy of Peters deser\'es great credit and
it is due to him to great extent that we won more than half the games that we
played. Our material last ^-ear was fine, but the one great thing that we needed
w^as a coach to develop it With the old men back and the new men who come
ever}- year, is a bright prospect for a fine team next season. We must have a
coach and that we believe will be given.

lOI

We now have an athletic instructor who is doing everything in his power to
put the athletic teams that represent our college not only up to the standard with
the other colleges of the State, but to hold the first, which is the motto of our
honorable President.

N. B. — We are sorry to say that owing to an epidemic of scarlet fever at the
College our Southern trip for the baseball team had to be abandoned.

A Foot Ba^ll Story.

One day in the month of November,

A t3'pical da3^ of the Fall,
Our eleven went forth to the E. H. S.

To play them a game of ball.

The guarantee offered was meagre,
But Manager Whiteford agreed

To take the trip for a practice game
If thev'd give us an evening feed.

Ill

The trip to the High School's a long one;

You first have to hoof it a mile,
Then ride on a trolly, then change to a 'bus,

'Till YOU get there after a while.

The game was played to a finish.

Our boys fought it stubbornly through;

But against such sluggers and hired athletes,
What could a decent team do?

V
Old I)unl)ar was smashed in the kidneys.

And Walker laid out by a blow.
And Peters was scalped like an Indian Chief

Who falls in the hands of his foe.

'Twas night when the game w£is ended —

Our boys didn't mind the defeat,
For they thought of the supper, all smoking and hot.

Just waiting for them to eat.

VII

And the\' gambled a bit on the menu;

As visions of supper were seen:
Said Navlor to Page, "I will bet you a wheel

That they feed us better than CTreen."

VIII
So in fanc_v they fixed up the program —

Hot beefsteak, hot sausage, cold tongue —
And they hustled to change their togs Ijcfore

Tile sui)per-l)eil was rung.

1 08

IX
Then up came the H. S. Manager,

And words he spake a few:
'You fellows have made a sad mistake,

No supper's prepared for 3'ou."

And then from Manager Whiteford,

From Dickey and several more.
There came forth ^vo^ds that were not sweet,

And even Palmer swore.

' 'You blankety— blank— blanknations.
We are all of us almost dead;
You blankety— blankety-blankety-blanks,
Just give us a crust of bread."

XII
In vain their humble entreaties;

No kindness, no mercy was shown,
'Though dying of hanger and far from home

They got not a crust or bone.

XIII
'Twas a sad trip back to the College,

Poor Hardisty's stomach caved in;
And he looked like a night shirt hung up on a line.

So ghastly and wobbly and thin.

XIV

And Smith ate the back of a car seat.

And then chewed the rag for dessert:
And Mitch, held his hands on his stomach the while.

And claimed that his "inwards" did hurt.

But enough of this heart-rending stor3',
The rest you will just have to guess —

Next time the^' will carry their rations along
When they play with the E. H. S.

The Rossbourg' Club.

N the Collegiate training of youth, there are three phases of his
nature to be considered. The mental, the physical and the social.
These three go hand in hand, working harmoniously to the at-

Atainment of a finished student. Without facilities for this three-
fold developement no college is complete.

It is to further the developement of our social nature, — admit-
ted b}' everyone as being absolutely essential, — that we sustain
here an organization for the sole purpose of holding, at stated in-
terv-als, social gatherings, where dancing is the means of enter-
tainment. That this is one of the most pleasant, essential and re-
nowned, of our student organization, is often emphasized by the
great numbers of the 3'outh and flower of our state who assemble
on these occasions.
Through the elevating and refining influences of the Rossbourg Club of the
Maryland Agricultural College the rude nature of our youth is smoothed and
molded into that ease of manners so characteristic of our French cousins; and
which trait our parents have enceasingl^:>ek<tX!Ttted us to acquire.

We naturally inherit unpolished traits from our remote Teutonic forefather.?.
The Rossbourg Club goes far in transforming this inherent nature into modest
refinement and grace of manners.

When we assemble in the tastefully adorned hall, finding there an en\'iron-
ment sublime and enchanting, we may well exclaim "That in the midst of our
toils there is bliss. ' ' What could appeal more strongly to our better social nature
than the beautiful and harmonious combination of flowers, music and enchanting
girls? To glide over the waxed floor to the sweet and melodious strains of one of
Sousa's latest waltzes exquisitely rendered b}^ Samuels' Orchestra, with the
charming maiden of our hearts desire, whose every movement accords with the
rhj'thm of the music, so full of grace are they, is a pleasure of unsurpassed excel-
lence and the beginning and promotion of a delightful trait that will many times
blossom in all its magnificence during the course of our lives. This benign, or
perhaps I .should say sublime influence is the gentle touch which awakens in man

115

all that is chivalrous, morally elevating and which promotes love, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness.

This organization which we so highly esteem, was begun in eighteen hun-
dred and ninet)' one. Its importance was realized not only b}^ our American stu-
dents, but also b}' those of foreign lands, for its first president was Mr. Su
Penn, of Corea. It has grown steadily since, and if I am allowed to quote a well
known college authority "has neared perfection this year."

The officers are usually chosen from the Senior class, but this year on ac-
count of the unfortunately small number in our class, two were chosen from the
Junior. We made a wise selection in our president, for, because of his majestic
statue, towering as he does high above all the rest of us he can with a glance sur-
vey the entire hall and see that all things are well.

This year for the first time the Preparatory students were not admitted. For
the sake of those among them who dance we were sorry to take this action, but
in view of the fact that many of them are comparatively small, and only learning
to dance, it was thought best for them not to become members until they enter
the regular College Course. In the meantime we have taken pleasure in teaching,
all those who desired to learn, to the best of our abilitw

We have held a smaller number of dances this year than usual, but have
striven to improve them sufficiently to compensate for the loss in number.

The organization has been well supported by the President and Faculty, for
which we wish to return many thanks. Much credit is also due to the gentleman
in charge of our commissary department, who has conducted this essential phase
of our entertainments in a most gratifying manner.

May succeeding classes not allow this important factor in their social training
to decline, but continue to advance it toward perfection, and keep up this good
work which will greatly elevate, not only themselves but the college. May the
refulgent ra3's, beaming softh- from the Rossbourg Club of the Marj'land Agri-
caltural College be many times reflected in refining excellence throughout our
land. We will ever look back upon the hours spent in the enjoyment of these
dances as the most pleasant of our college life. Even though we be scattered far
apart, and some of us perhaps in foreign lands, our thoughts at least will meet at
certain .sea.sons in the old hall at our Alma Mata.

The Belle of the M. A. C. B&.11.

©©©©

Your form it is sinipl_v divine, dear,

No sculptor with chisel and stone
Could create in a life of endeavor

A figure to rival your own.

All the stars in the azure of heaven

All the pearls in the waters Ijeneath,
Are paled b}- the sight of thy eyes, dear.

And the sheen of thv lieautiful teeth.

Thy laugh is a strain of sweet music,

Thj' voice is a poem (jf hjve ;
There is nothing more pure than thy soul is.

Not even the angels above.

You dance with the grace of a fairy,

And 3-our foot it is shapely and small ;
Your head has the poise of a princess.
You're surely the Belle of the Ball.

Hurrali I Inirrali !

For tlic dandiest girl of all
Hurrah! hurrah I

For the Belle of the M. A. C. Ball.

HPZ Young Mens Christian Association was orj^anized shortly after the
opening of College last Fall, and now has over thirty members. Meet-
ings are held every Sunday evening, in which the members discuss some
subject, have Bible readings, hymns, prayers, etc. This Organization
has been productive of much good among the students and its imj)ortance as
an adjunct to the College work cannot be overestimated.

Mr. Bouic, the President of the Organization, der.serves great credit for his
earnest efforts in the Y. M. C. A. work.

Ode to Class of 1901.

©©©©

Four 3-ears have passed,

And we at last,

Are standing at the door.

That opens to our future life,

With victories before,

We've fought a fight,

With all our might,

But still there's more in store.

There's many a chance with prospects liright

That awaits beyond that door.

Chorus: — Come all ye bo^-s
Of 1901 and sing
Of days that will often remind us,
That, though we were few.
We would conquer we knew.
And leave a good record behind us

So classmates we

Are now to see

Our future destiny.

And with a vim we'll enter in

This land of libertv.

We've stood the test

Our very best.

But now our hearts are sore,

To think the time has come at last.

When we'll march these halls no more.

Chorus: — Come all ye bo^'S
Of 1901 and sing
Of days that will often remind us..
That, though we were few,
We would conquer we knew,
And leave a good record behind us.

1. If four black bull dogs, weighing twenty-eight pounds each, can eat four
pounds, seven ounces of College beef by working four and a half wet days of
seven and a half hours each, how long will it take the Prep, class to eat a barrel of
Johnny Green's oysters?

2. If a breeze of five miles per hour just fans the hair from off the face of
5'our lad}^ love, and one of twent3'-five miles per hour coming from the N. E. ,

were allowed to blow for five minutes ?

Note. — Logarithmetic tables will be furnished.

3. If on coming up the college steps you were to slip on the ice, which al-
ways stays there, and break your leg, and then sue the College for damages and
win the suit, would the damage be paid out of the vStudent Breakage Fund ?

4. The damage deposit is $5.00. If some fellow smashes the cellar window,
steals five pies and breaks two benches coming through Chapel; if a new O. D.
bell is put up in place of the one stolen, and a new post on the front step railing
is put up in place of the one rotted down, prove that the balance refunded is $.07

(Any one unable to solve this problem, is referred to J. R. O's late publica-
tion " How I Became a Millionaire.")

ler and superior to Remsen's, how long will it take him to convince Dr. McDon-
nell that Avagadro's law is not correct?

8. If chapel lasts 15 minutes, when Captain has charge of it, how long will
it take Prof. Richardion to luring the time down to 3 miiuites ? Work out the

Uncle Reuben Jones' Letter.

©©©©

The following is a letter from Uncle Reuben Jones, of St. Mary's County, to his wife Maria.
Uncle Reuben was visiting the College some time since, and stayed here over night.

CoLLEG Park, Md.
My Dear Maria:

I arrove hear to day on the lo o'clook train. This here is a
very nice place and from what I kin understand Henr}' is a doin well.

When I fust come up from the lectric cars (which did not stop here but car-
ried me on to some God-forsaken place called Burwin) I walked roun to the back
door, not a keerin to go in the front way with my muddy boots. I met some fine
lookin man a walkin down the hall and thinks I to myself this is President Silves-
ter, for I had heerd that the president was a mighty hansom man. I walked up
to the gentleman rale harty like and sa3's, says I, "I spose this is Capten Silves-
ter — my name is Jones, and I cum over to see my sun Henry." The gentleman
cleared his throte several times and says, says he, "My name is Green, I aint the
President," says he, "but I'm Stewart here." I couldn't understan wh}- he
called hisself Stewart if his name was Green, but on lookin at him closer I seen
that he had a bad look about the e5^e and I suppos he had run away from some
place & changed his name. All right says I Mr. Stewart you needn't be uneasy
bout me sayin nothin bout $eein 5'ou.

Mr. Stewart, or Green, or whatever his name was, give me an invite to go
up stairs, & sent the ugliest, biggest footed nigger I ever seen, to show me the
way.

I sot down in the best room and it being a leetle warm there I laid off my
coat & opened my wescot. Pretty soon a great big smoothfaced fellow almost as
good lookin as Green, opened the door and walked in, I knew right off that was
the President, and up I jumped to shake hands with him. He seein me rush
towards him with coat off and arm out-stretched thought I was a goin to fight, I
reckon, and he jumped back and slammed the door in my face. Holdinon to the
outside of the handle of the door he said he would call Mr. Harrison and have
me put out if I dident behave. I soon made him understan, so he cum in and
gaiv me the harty shake. We had a mighty nice talk together, the Capten noin
a little somethin bout farmin hisself. He said Henr}- was a gittin long well,

141

which I was mighty glad to hear. The Capin then took me into his offis and
give me a knock-down to Mr. Harrison, his clerk. He said Harrison is his
fighten man too, though I didn't seenothin so mighty fierce lookinbout the chap,
but think he is real hansom and mild like, just such a feller as I would pick out
for Matilda Jane to git fur a husbun and i want to bring Matilda long with me
the next time I come up and have her meet him. Some of the fellers said though
that Harrison was a great flirt and had already broken more'n a dozen girls
hearts. But i dont believe no sich thing. He is a nice gentel boy and good
lookin to and He & Matilda Jane would hitch up fust rate.

The President tuk me all over the college and showed me the farm and I
asked the Capten what he thought of St. Mary's County and he said, said he,
"Why man that is the only place in Maryland."

A lot of men were a workin in the field and I was told by a feller named
Sincell that each farm hand had a certain lot of ground to look after and took his
section home with him each night to keep it from gettin hurt by the w^eather.
This is very remarkable but I knew by Sincell' s face that he was tellin the truth,
jist think of it!

The U. S. Experiment Station is here too, this i was told is where McKinley
makes all his speriments, if all his speriments turn out as bad as his speriment
with the Filapian Hands he'd better smash the hul dang station and take down
his sign. They had a sign on the speriment station which read Rossbourg Club,
1776, I asked what that thar ment and Sincell said that that log up there was
the club that General Ross was killed with in 1776, I dident say nothin cause I'd
never herd of Gen. Ross.

While I was up to the Speriment Station I seen em test a calf to see if he
could drink more milk out of a pint bottle or a quart bottle both of them bein full
and they were also a tryin sawdust and bran mash to see which was the best feed.

Sincell said a cow would git fat on excelsior if they would put green specta-
cles on her to make her think she was eatin grass. Wonderful what discoveries
science has made.

One of the nicest fellows I met at the hul college was Mr. Prof: Robinson,
more, he is a farmer and no mistake, he knows everN'thing l)out flowers, and
grass too and aint Ijackward a bit about haudin out information never seen such a
talker before in my hul life now Maria I allers thought you could say a few words
when you take a notion but you are deaf, dumb and blind long side of Prof, but he
is a mighty smart man and jis as kind as he kin l)e. He promiced to
send me three car-loads of flowers and i)lants in the Spring and the Lord only
knows what we will do with them all, guess I'd better throw that front 4 acre lot
into the front yard, .so as we kin have a place to put the flowers and plants in that
Prof. Robinson is surely goin to send, I offered to take quite a tub of flowers long
home with me when I go, but the kind hearted old chap wouldnt let me, .said he

142

couldn't give me that trouble but would express em all at his own expense jist
as soon as they w^ere ripe.

I went over to the department of Entymology that thur word means bug-
house, never seen so many bugs in all my life before, all sizes from them to little
to see up to sum as big as turkey buzzards, but since I got to thinkin bout it I
dont know whether them that were to little to see w^ere there or not, but a real
pretty fat boy named Simons said as how he could see um in his telescope. I
asked him why he dident throw his telescope away if it was buggy and wrap his
clothes up in a red handkerchief like I done. Simons said he'd always lived with
em and wouldnt feel right without em. Say Maria that must be a funny feelin.

I was a goin to to tell you how I saw the boys all runnin over the field and
some feller with a lot of gold things on his clothes said they was drillen, but
want nothin like we do drillen down in St. Mary's.

Just now some feller right over my head seems to have gone crazy and has
been runnin round so he has knocked all the plasterin down on me so I cant
write, Henry sais dont mind that pap, its only Dickey he does that all the time,
but I think if I was roun here much I'd have that feller shet up for fear he might
git away. I'll try and finish this in the mornin.

Your lovin husban,

R. JONES.

The Disappointed Sophs.

Ms,

©©©©

^ ^

\!^ f^

AS a usual thing a sophmore is a pretty bright fellow — indeed, he is
generally spotted all over with wisdom, and an auriole of glory
surrounds his sapient head. Occasionally, however, this self-
same Soph. " slips upon himself," as it were. He has moments
of mental decrepitude, and there are periods when his mind is off
on a vacation.

A few days prior to the Winter Examinations, when the
wily Sophs, were making their accustomed reconnaissance in and
around the class-room of the Professors to see what they could
find, their eagle eyes lighted upon a paper covered with short-
hand notes. Something on the paper suggested to their brilliant
minds that this was the examination in geometry, dictated by the President to
his stenographer. Ha! ha! Ho! ho! What a find! The proverbiall}- tender
consciences of the Sophs, did not, strange to say, prevent their appropriating the
paper, and they proceeded to fall all over themselves in spasms of uncontrollable
joy.

An exact tracing of the paper was made, and a committee was appointed to
take the same to a stenographer in Washington, and have it translated into good
honest questions for examination. Swifter than the wings of the morning, the
chosen delegation hied themselves to the city. A dozen different stenographers
were interviewed without success. Finally a gifted knight of ' ' pot-hooks and
hangers" managed to figure out a translation. He wrote it down for the jubi-
lant committee. This is what he wrote:

"College; Park, Md., Dec. lo, 1900.
Jos. A. Ellis, Esq., Quanto, Md.,

Dear Sir: — The hogs 3'ou describe are evidently true Poland-China, * *

We have a very select lot of hogs here which we would be glad to have you
come over and see at any time. We can modestly say that the M. A. C. is noted
for its fine breed of swine, etc., etc. Very truly yours,

R. W. Silvester, Pres."
When the eager eyes of the Sophs, beheld the translation of their treasured
paper, and fully realized how beautifully they had been sold, there was among them
weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth ; and such a sudden and decided trans-
formation occurred as to make each individual member of the committee bear a
striking resemblance to thirty cents. Of course they got no light whatever upon
the coming examination, but they realized that the President's .letter referred to
f/iem after all. They consequently felt somewhat important, but not happy.

Retrospect.

ooo©

As we are about to lay down our pen, after having toiled long and
carefully on this book, we glance back into the year while we
were busily engaged compiling its contents. We wish to present
to 3'ou some of the difficulties which presented themselves to us
when we began this work. Our entire class consisted of only four
members, each burdened already- wdth duties known only to a Se-
nior, each feeling that if we did put forth a book it would not be
our fault if it did not, at least compare favorably with its older
brother publications. At last we started work in earnest and have
put our best efforts into the work.

It is with much pride, although we do not say it boastingly, that we have
now completed our task.

We claim that we present a work of unusual originality for a College Publi-
cation. We have established mau}^ innovations, departed far from the course
started by our predecessors, and while we are far from condemning that course
we do think that the time had come for the change. We introduce our book, at
the first of a new century, in an entirely new shape, under a novel cover.

We ha^'e endeavored to please all those whom it is possible to please; for
those who like facts we have provided; for those who like fiction we have not
been negligent; for those who like frivolity we have abundance, and for those
who can not read we have pictures which explain themselves.

We wish to extend our thanks to all those who have aided us in our work.
We are grateful to Profes.sors Gwinner and Lanahan, both of whom have
prepared for us valuable and instructive articles. To Major Scantling of the
U. S. A., we are indebted for the article which appears in the military depart-
ment. To Dr. Townsend we owe much for his serv'ices in procuring, for us, the
half-tones reproduced in this book. We are not ungrateful to Professor Bomber-
ger, who has helped us much in the form of expression and valued suggestions.

For our sketches, of which we do boast nuich, we are indebted to a number
of sources. To those who have been so kind as to give us the benefit of their
talent, we extend a hearty vote of thanks and assure them that the importance of
this department of the book has not been underestimated.

Hoping that this book may meet with general approval and be a work of
merit to our class in years to come, we retire.

Yours sincerely,

BOARD.
