We  are  in  such  haste  to  be  doing,  to  be  writing,  to  be 
gathering  gear,  to  malje  our  voice  audible  a  moment  in 
the  derisive  silence  of  eternity,  that  VFe  forget  that  one 
thing,  of  which  these  are  but  the  parts — namely,  to  live. 
We  fall  in  love,  we  drink  hard,  we  run  to  and  fro  upon 
the  earth  like  frightened  sheep.  And  now  you  ask  your- 
self when  all  is  done,  if  you  would  not  have  been  better 
to  sit  by  the  fire  at  home,  and  be  happy  thinking.  To 
sit  still  and  contemplate,  —  to  remember  the  faces  of 
women  without  desire,  to  be  pleased  bv  the  great  de§d^c 
of  men  without  envy,  to  be  everything  and  everywl^rgvfn 
sympathy,  and  yet  content  to  remain  where  and  wparyou 
are — is  not  this  to  know  both  wisdom  and  virtue,',iand  to 
dwell  with  happiness?  After  all,  it  is  not  they  whoNcarry 
fliigs.  but  they  who  look  upon  it  from  a  private  chamSis^ 
who  have  the  fun  of  the  procession.  If  you  ask  yourself 
what  you  mean  by  fame,  riches,  or  learning,  the  answer 
is  far  to  seek ;  and  you  go  back  into  that  kingdom  of 
light  imaginations,  which  seem  so  vain  in  the  eyes  of 
Philistines  perspiring  after  wealth,  and  so  momentous  to 
those  who  are  stricken  with  the  disproportions  of  the 
world,  and,  in  the  face  of  the  gigantic  stars,  cannot  stop 
to  split  differences  between  two  degrees  of  the  infinitesi- 
mally  small,  such  as  a  tobacco  pipe  or  the  Roman  Empire, 
a  million  of  money  or  a  fiddlestick's  end.

WHAT  THE  LAITY  SHOULD  KNOW 
ABOUT  CANCER.* 


By  C.  W.  G.  RoHRER,  M.D.,  Class  of  1900,  P.  &  S. 


Having  had  the  temerity  to  accept  an  invita- 
tion to  write  a  brief  article  upon  so  important  a 
topic  as  "  What  the  Laity  Should  Know  about 
Cancer,"  I  shall  preface  my  remarks  by  begging 
the  indulgence  of  my  professional  brethren  who 
shall  chance  to  peruse  these  lines.  While  on  the 
one  hand  there  are  many  features  about  cancer 
of  which  the  public  should  be  apprised,  there  are, 
on  the  other  hand,  equally  as  many  distressing 
conditions  concerning  it  which  should  be  kept 
beyond  their  knowledge.  Hence,  to  discriminate 
between  what  I  should  say,  and  what  had  better 
remain  unsaid,  is  the  duty  which  seriously  con- 
fronts me. 

In  the  phraseology  of  the  laity,  every  excres- 
cence or  new  growth  is  either  a  "tumor"  or  a 
"cancer."  It  is  a  "tumor"  if  it  is  innocent  or 
non-malignant  in  type;  it  is  a  "cancer"  if  it  pos- 
sesses elements  of  malignancy.  According  to  Dr. 
Keirle's  definition,  copied  from  my  note-book  of 
nineteen  years  ago :  "A  tumor  is  an  atypical,  new- 
formation,  subserving  no  physiological  function, 
and  not  the  result  of  inflammation."  It  partakes 
of  the  general  nature  of  the  tissue  or  tissues  from 
which  it  arises,  and  from  this  property  it  derives 
its  name.  As  there  are  only  four  fundamental 
tissues — epithelial,  muscular,  connective  and  ner- 
vous— the  names  of  all  innocent  tumors  are  deriv- 
atives or  combinations  of  one  or  more  of  these 
terms.  To  illustrate :  A  tumor  originating  from 
the  papillary  layer  of  the  skin  is  termed  papil- 
loma, familiar  examples  being  the  well-nigh  om- 
nipresent toe-corns  and  warts.  A  tumor  spring- 
ing from  muscle  is  a  myoma ;  from  fibrous  or 
connective  tissue,  a  hard  or  soft  fibroma :  from

cal journals  in  the  United  States  are,  this  month. 
fpntiii-iii<;  articles  on  Cancer.  The  Gazette,  following 
their  example,  is  particularly  fortunate  in  being  able 
to  publish  this  article  by  so  able  a  writer  ami  authority 
as  Dr.  Rohrer.  Dr.  Robrer  is  head  of  The  Bureau  of 
Communicable  Diseases  of  the  State  Department  of 
Health.  He  is  a  graduate  of  the  College  of  Physicians 
niKl  Surgeons.  Class  of  1900. 


fatty  tissue,  a  lipoma;  from  nervous  tissue,  a 
neuroma.  Innocent  tumors  do  not  recur  after 
thorough  removal,  which  includes  their  capsule, 
covering  or  enveloping  membrane,  nor  do  they 
cause  the  death  of  the  patient.  They  may  largely 
be  viewed  in  the  light  of  mechanical  impediments, 
the  degree  of  annoyance  which  they  produce 
depending  largely  upon  their  size  and  location. 
Serious  symptoms,  however,  sometimes  result 
from  pressure,  especially  when  the  tumor  or 
growth  is  located  within  the  abdominal  cavity. 
It  should  also  be  borne  in  mind  that  a  certain  per- 
centage of  innocent  tumors,  when  subjected  to 
undue  irritation,  become  malignant. 

Cancerous  tumors  or  "cancers"  are  of  far 
greater  significance  to  the  laity  than  any  innocent 
or  non-malignant  growth  well  could  be.  Cancer, 
as  a  rule,  develops  rapidly;  a  non-cancerous  or 
innocent  tumor  usually  develops  but  slowly,  some- 
times requiring  years  to  attain  an  appreciable 
size.  Cancer,  unless  thoroughly  removed  in  its 
earliest  stages,  returns  after  removal,  both  at 
its  original  site  and  in  contiguous  tissues  and 
organs.  For  example  a  cancer  of  the  breast,  if 
neglected,  would  eventually  spread  ("metasta- 
cize")  to  the  overlying  skin,  the  adjacent  lym- 
phatic glands  (forming  the  ominous,  so-called 
"waxing  kernels"),  the  muscles  of  the  chest,  the 
ribs,  the  pleura,  and  the  opposite  breast.  In- 
vasion of  the  skin,  the  earliest  perceptible  sign  of 
local  malignity,  may  occur  as  early  as  the  second 
month,  or  it  may  be  delayed  for  seven  or  eight 
years.  The  average  date  of  its  appearance,  how- 
ever, is  fourteen  months  from  the  onset  of  the 
disease. 

It  was  the  late  Dr.  Rudolph  Virchow,  the  ereat 
German  pathologist,  who  first  demonstrated  that 
all  tissues  are  composed  of  cells  and  intercellular 
substance,  and  that  the  cell  is  the  active  constitu- 
ent. Based  upon  this  knowledge,  it  is  customary 
for  surgeons  and  pathologists  to  classify  cancers 
according  to  the  tissues  from  which  they  origi- 
nate. If  a  cancer  develops  from  connective  tis- 
sue, it  is  termed  a  "sarcoma" ;  if  from  the  epi- 
thelial covering  of  the  skin  or  mucous  membrane, 
it  is  designated  "epithelioma"  or  surface  cancer ; 
if  it  has  its  seat  in  a  glandular  organ  like  the 


THE  UNIVERSITY  GAZETTE 


breast  or  stomach,  it  is  a  carcinoma  or  glandular 
cancer.  Sarcomata  or  connective-tissue  cancers 
usually  occur  in  children  and  in  young  adults ; 
epithelial  and  glandular  cancers,  grouped  under 
the  heading  "carcinomata,"  are  the  rule  in  per- 
sons who  have  reached  middle  life  or  are  in  their 
declining  years. 

Sarcoma  is  met  with  most  frequently  in  the 
bones,  especially  in  the  extremities  of  the  long 
ones  as  the  thigh  and  arm ;  in  the  jaws,  the  breast 
or  mammary  gland,  the  salivary  glands,  tongue, 
tonsil,  intestinal  canal,  kidney  and  skin.  Carci- 
noma most  frequently  attacks  the  stomach,  the 
breast  or  mammary  gland,  and  the  womb  or 
uterus.  It  has  been  ascertained  that  one-third 
of  all  women  who  die  of  cancer  succumb  to  can- 
cer of  the  uterus ;  and  that  of  all  persons  who  die 
of  cancer,  in  one-fourth  of  them,  the  uterus  is  the 
seat  of  the  disease. 

The  etiology  of  cancer  is  still  the  subject  of 
much  dispute.  Numerous  theories  have  been 
advanced  and  multitudinous  causes  assigned,  a 
circumstance  in  itself  disproving  the  adequacy 
of  any  one  of  them.  Among  the  factors  men- 
tioned are  heredity,  injury,  age,  climate,  mental 
depression,  and  prolonged  irritation.  Several  re- 
liable observers  have  attributed  the  disease  to 
microbes,  some  claiming  to  have  found  bacteria 
or  vegetable  organisms,  others  protozoa  or  ani- 
mal parasites ;  but  the  correctness  of  their  views 
remains  to  be  proven.  Excessive  meat  eating, 
especially  of  pork,  and  infection  with  animal  or- 
ganisms clinging  to  vegetables  which  are  eaten 
raw,  have  been  promulgated  of  late  as  causes  of 
cancer,  but  such  statements  are  unwarranted. 

Cancer  is  on  the  increase.  In  England  and 
Wales,  during  ten  years  (1860-1870),  as  many 
as  2,379,622  persons  above  the  age  of  twenty 
died,  of  which  number  81,699  deaths  were  from 
carcinoma,  the  deaths  from  this  cause  constitut- 
ing to  all  others  a  ratio  of  about  1  to  29,  If  we 
but  turn  to  "Mortality  Statistics  for  1913,  Bureau 
of  the  Census,"  p.  28,  we  find  that  cancer  and 
other  malignant  tumors  caused  49,928  deaths  in 
the  registration  area  of  the  United  States,  corres- 
ponding to  a  death  rate  of  78.9  per  100,000  popu- 
lation, as  compared  with  -16,531  deaths  during 
the  preceding  year,  equivalent  to  a  rate  of  77. 
For  a  period  of  fourteen  years  (1900-1913  in- 
clusive), with  one  or  two  exceptions,  the  increase 
in  the  mortality  from  cancer  in  the  registration 
area  of  the  United  States  has  been  uninterrupted 
from  year  to  year. 

The  alleged  essential  or  predisposing  causes  of 


cancer,  such  as  the  theory  of  embryonic  remains, 
the  presence  of  cell  rests,  of  carcinoma-matrix, 
etc.,  need  not  be  discussed  in  a  paper  intended 
solely  for  the  eyes  of  the  laity.  The  various 
reputed  exciting  causes,  however,  deserve  more 
than  a  passing  notice.  Beginning  with  heredity, 
we  find  that  many  persons  believe  that  cancer, 
like  tuberculosis,  "runs  in  families."  In  deference 
to  this  widespread  opinion,  we  must  admit  that 
an  hereditary  predisposition  or  aptitude  for  can- 
cer is  generally  recognized.  It  affects  both  sexes 
equally.  Statistics  show  that  23.4  per  cent,  of 
cancerous  patients  have  had  one  or  more  relatives 
afflicted  with  the  same  disease.  In  certain  fami- 
lies the  heredity  of  cancer  has  been  shown  in  a 
marked  manner.  Sir  James  Paget  relates  a  case 
in  which  a  lady,  two  of  her  daughters,  and  eight 
of  her  grandchildren  died  of  cancer.  Sibley  re- 
lates an  instance  of  cancer  of  the  uterus  affecting 
a  mother  and  her  five  daughters.  Warren  ob- 
served a  cancer  of  the  lip  in  the  father;  in  one 
son  and  two  daughters,  cancer  of  the  breast ;  and 
in  two  grandchildren,  cancer  of  the  breast.  This 
writer  is  familiar  with  an  instance  in  which  the 
mother  died  of  .cancer,  and  three  of  her  six  chil- 
dren have  already  succumbed  to  the  same  disease. 
Injuries  of  various  kinds  have  been  regarded 
from  time  immemorial  as  a  fruitful  cause  of  can- 
cer. Paget,  Billroth  and  Cohnheim  all  assert  that 
about  one-fifth  of  those  who  have  cancer  ascribe 
it  to  injur}' ;  while  Boll's  statistics  show  injury  to 
be  the  principal  exciting  cause  in  14  per  cent.  Age 
has  already  been  alluded  to  as  an  important  de- 
termining cause,  cancer  being  most  prevalent  in 
persons  of  middle  and  past  middle  life.  Walshe 
has  clearly  shown  that  the  mortality  from  cancer 
— that  is,  the  number  of  deaths  in  proportion  to 
the  number  of  persons  living — "goes  on  steadily 
increasing  with  each  succeeding  decade  until  the 
eightieth  year."  His  result  is  obtained  from  rec- 
ords of  deaths,  but  it  is  almost  exactly  confirmed 
by  the  tables  collected  by  Paget  showing  the 
ages  at  which  the  cancers  were  first  observed  by 
the  patients  or  ascertained  by  their  attendants.

Climate  and  the  attending  habits  of  life  and 
state  of  civilization  appear  to  exert  an  influence 
in  the  causation  of  cancer.  It  is  said  that  the  in- 
habitants of  southern  countries  are  more  predis- 
posed to  cancer  than  are  the  inhabitants  of  the 
North.  Walshe  collected  evidence  that  the  maxi- 
mum number  of  cancer  patients  are  found  in 
Europe,  and  that  cancer  is  very  rare  among  the 
natives  of  the  tropical  parts  of  America.  In- 
quiries seem  to  show  that  the  Indians  of  North 
America  are  singularly  immune  to  this  affection. 
Mental  depression  has  often  been  quoted  as  one 
of  the  causes  in  the  production  of  cancer.  While 
mental  anxiety  and  worry  of  all  kinds  may  favor 
the  origin  and  growth  of  cancer  by  impairing 
nutrition,  we  have  no  evidence  that  nervous  in- 
fluences exert  a  more  direct  effect  in  the  causation 
of  cancer. 

Long-continued  local  irritation  is  frequently 
the  exciting  cause  of  cancer.  If  we  examine  the 
topography  of  cancer,  we  find  that  it  attacks  parts 
and  organs  that  are  most  frequently  the  seat  of 
prolonged  and  repeated  irritation.  Cancer  is  fre- 
quently found  about  the  orifices  of  the  body — the 
lips,  the  cervix  of  the  uterus,  the  rectum,  and  the 
nose — locab'ties  often  exposed  to  irritation,  and 
where  the  skin  and  mucous  membrane  meet.  The 
clay  pipe  in  smokers,  the  coal-dust  in  chimney- 
sweeps, the  jagged  edge  of  decayed  teeth,  and 
other  local  irritants  have  for  a  long  time  been 
regarded  as  important  causes  in  the  production  of 
cancer. 

The  dread  of  cancer  is  almost  universal.  The 
popular  fear,  however,  of  the  contagiousness  of 
cancer  lacks  foundation.  There  is  not  a  single 
well-authenticated  case  on  record  of  the  trans- 
mission of  this  disease  by  contagion. 

Statistics  show  that  the  male  sex  is  more  pre- 
disposed to  cancer  than  is  the  female.  This  dif- 
ference may  be  accounted  for  in  part  by  the  male 
sex  leading  a  more  active  life,  thus  being  ex- 
posed more  to  the  exciting  causes  of  cancer.  C. 
O.  Weber  gives  the  proportion  of  males  to  fe- 
males as  64  to  36.  The  proportion  varies,  how- 
ever, with  the  different  forms  of  cancer.  Cancer 
of  the  skin  is  much  more  frequent  in  the  male 
than  in  the  female,  while  in  glandular  cancer  the 
reverse  is  the  case.  Cancer  of  the  lip  is  common 
in  men,  but  extremely  rare  in  women.  Cancer  of 
the  stomach  and  the  rectum  is  more  frequently 
met  with  in  males  than  in  females.  In  the  female, 
cancer  of  the  breast  and  the  uterus  occurs  prob- 
ably more  frequently  than  do  malignant  tumors 
of  all  remaining  organs. 


Cancer  of  the  breast  usually  commences  as  a 
small,  circumscribed,  densely  hard,  uneven  or 
nodulated  growth,  which  is  movable  under  the 
skin,  but  fixed  in  or  to  the  breast  itself.  In  one 
case  out  of  48,  or  in  2.08  per  cent.,  several  dis- 
tinct nodules  are  met  with,  which  evince  a  marked 
tendency  to  coalesce  as  the  disease  progresses.  It 
is  more  frequent,  by  5.45  per  cent.,  in  the  right 
than  in  the  left  breast.  The  seats  of  election  of 
cancer  of  the  breast  are  the  upper  and  outer  quad- 
rant, and  the  immediate  vicinity  of  the  nipple. 
With  respect  to  pain,  in  4  per  cent,  of  all  cases 
there  is  absolutely  no  suffering  whatever ;  in  8 
per  cent,  there  is  merely  a  sensation  of  discom- 
fort or  weight ;  while  in  88  per  cent,  there  is  real 
pain,  which  varies,  however,  greatly  in  intensity 
and  character. 

But  the  central  thought  in  a  paper  on  cancer, 
written  for  the  laity,  is  the  urgent  advice  that  the 
only  hope  for  complete  recovery  lies  in  early 
diagnosis  and  operation.  In  no  class  of  diseases 
are  delays  more  dangerous,  or  fraught  with  more 
disastrous  consequences.  Local  applications  can- 
not be  recommended.  Connective  tissue  cancers 
spread  through  the  blood-vessels ;  epithelial  can- 
cers through  the  lymphatics;  consequently  the 
diseased  part  or  organ  should  be  handled  as  little 
as  possible,  to  prevent  detachment  of  the  cancer 
cells  and  their  passage  into  the  vessels. 

As  the  disease  gains  headway  there  is  a  very 
perceptible  loss  of  weight  and  strength  on  the 
part  of  the  patient.  The  cancer  increases  in  size 
while  the  patient  wastes  slowly  away.  When  the 
surface  of  the  cancer  becomes  covered  with  dead 
tissue,  absorption  takes  place  and  a  slow  form  of 
blood  poisoning  results.  An  outward  manifes- 
tation of  this  is  the  cachectic  condition,  the  com- 
plexion taking  on  a  sallow  hue. 

Many  notable  persons  have  died  of  cancer. 
Among  these  may  be  mentioned  the  Emperor 
Napoleon,  Gen.  U.  S.  Grant,  Dr.  William  Rainey 
Harper,  late  president  of  the  University  of  Chi- 
cago, and  Professor  Simon  Newcomb,  the  dis- 
tinguished mathematician  and  astronomer. 

In  conclusion,  I  desire  to  sum  up  the  keynote 
to  the  present  paper:  IF  YOU  HAVE  REASON 
TO  SUSPECT  CANCER,  CONSULT  AT 
ONCE  A  REPUTABLE  SURGEON  AND 
RELY  IMPLICITLY  UPON  HIS  JUDG- 
MENT IN  REGARD  TO  DIAGNOSIS  AND 
OPERATION.

MERGER  WITH  THE  COLLEGE  OF  PHY- 
SICIANS AND  SURGEONS. 


Faculty  and  students  of  The  College  of  Physi- 
cians and  Surgeons  of  Baltimore,  we  have  waited 
many  moons  for  you  to  join  our  host.  Trite  and 
old-fashioned,  though  it  may  be,  we  cannot  re- 
frain from  the  observing  that  "in  imion  there  is 
strength." 

Let  us  hope  that  our  co-operation  will  be  as

profitable  to  you  as  your  new  relation  will  un- 
doubtedly prove  for  us.  Though,  in  a  way,  we 
were  rivals  in  the  past,  we  have  always  entertained 
the  highest  regard  for  your  splendid  qualities. 
Honorably  we  courted  you,  coquettish  mistress 
you  were  indeed,  but  now  that  we  join  hands  we 
can  thankfully  say,  "we  have  met  the  enemy  and 
we  are  theirs." 

Lombard  and  Greene  streets  will  hereafter  be  a 
greater  center  of  culture,  our  new  organization 
will  prove  an  -  added  stimulus  for  scientific  re- 
search ;  the  State,  the  nation,  all  humanity  will 
profit. 

All  over  the  world  the  name  Johns  Hopkins  has 
always  brought  forth  admiration,  praise,  and  a 
sort  of  feeling  that  "here  is  an  institution  that 
justly  deserves  the  name  of  best."  Who  shall 
say,  with  our  new  possibilities,  that  we  may  not 
also  some  day  not  far  off  merit  the  same  inter- 
national respect  ?

THE   HONOR    SYSTEM. 


Inevitably,  the  Honor  System  for  Examina- 
tions will  be  in  force  throughout  the  L'niversity. 
Its  success  in  the  Medical  School  for  the  past 
few  years  has  proved  that  it  is  practical  here ; 
the  benefits  derived  from  it  by  the  Junior  Class 
in  the  Law  School  have  shown  its  value ;  the  pre- 
ponderance of  evidence  showing  satisfactory  re- 
Sight,  smell  and  taste  plajs  big  part  in  digestion.

suits  in  over  136  colleges  in  the  United  States 
leads  us  to  believe  in  its  advisability. 

Repugnant  as  the  idea  of  having  to  so  vigor- 
ously guard  against  cheating  may  be,  and  smack- 
ing of  mollycoddlism  as  it  does,  it  cannot  be  de- 
nied that  the  Honor  System  has  proved  fair,  just 
and  practical. 

We  have  already  remarked  on  the  success  of 
the  System  in  the  School  of  Medicine.  There, 
as  far  as  we  know,  it  works  with  the  unwrinkled 
smoothness  of  velvet.  It  has  passed  through  that 
critical  period  of  hispidity  in  which  existence  was 
"like  the  quills  upon  the  fretful  porcupine."  But 
the  section  of  the  Law  College  that  has  adopted 
the  Honor  System  is  realizing,  as  is  quite  natural, 
considering  its  tender  age,  that  the  first  year  of 
an  Honor  System's  life  is  a  precarious  one.  It 
suffers,  like  a  puny  infant,  from  every  change  of 
the  weather,  from  every  disturbance  of  the  atmos- 
phere. Mistakes  are  made,  and  though  honest 
blunders,  the  cruel  world  outside  mocks  with 
savage  glee. 

Considering  that  this  is  the  first  time  the  Sys- 
tem has  been  in  operation  in  the  Law  School,  we 
are  of  the  opinion  that  it  has  shown  its  worth. 
The  time  is  ripe  for  adoption  by  the  whole  Uni- 
versity; the  result  will  be  the  development  of  a 
plan  more  efficient  as  a  result  of  its  united  back- 
ing. 

There  is  one  fault,  however,  that  we  find  in 
the  System  in  the  Law  School.  It  does  not 
exist  in  the  Medical  School's  arrangement, — 
and  the  Law  men  might  profit  from  the  experi- 
ence of  their  medical  fellow-students.  In  the 
Medical  School,  the  student  accused  of  cheating 
is  tried  by  a  secret  committee,  and  if  found  guilty, 
is  told  to  leave.  The  faculty  hears  nothing  of  the 
whole  proceeding,  and  they  are  innocent  of  the 
cause  of  the  gentleman's  departure.  When  this 
outcast  seeks  entrance  to  another  Medical  School, 
the  inquiry  of  his  proposed  Alma  Mater  as  to  his 
reason  for  leaving  the  University  of  Maryland  is 
answered  by  a  polite  note  stating  that  "we  are 

not  cognizant  as  to  the  reasons  for  Mr.  's 

leaving  this  University." 

Thus  the  man  has  another  chance.  Certainly, 
we  are  not  to  judge  that  because  he  has  departed 
from  the  straight  and  narrow  path  here,  he  is  not 
entitled  to  a  chance  at  another  institution.  He 
has  suffered  sufficiently  for  his  wrong  at  the 
place  of  its  commission.  So,  we  believe,  that  the 
results  of  the  Committee  in  the  Law  School  should 
never  reach  the  Faculty.     Then,  a  man,  having 


learned  the  lesson  of  dishonesty,  may,  after  his 
dismal  experience,  start  again  "a  wiser  and  a 
better  man."  A.  B.  M. 


EDITORIALLY  EXPRESSED. 


"The  thought  is  father  to  the  act,"  so  here 
goes.  One  of  the  editors-in-chief  of  the  Gazette 
wishes  an  exhaust  for  some  of  his  present  sur- 
plus and  fast-accumulating  energy  through  ex- 
pressing himself  on  the  things  present  and  prom- 
ising. We  do  not  propose  to  lambast  any  person 
or  institution  for  fear  the  powers  might  place  us 
in  the  "Slam  and  Salute"  column  rather  than  our 
accustomed  editorial  position.  We  will  attempt 
to  be  generous,  charitable,  judicious,  conserva- 
tive, and  even  neutral  if  necessary.  We  have  re- 
frained from  discussing  politics,  religion,  and  the 
war,  but  now  our  policy  must  change.  This  is 
not  campaign  year,  which  is  enough  on  politics ; 
the  hot  weather  is  coming  on  and  Billy  Sunday 
will  follow  next  winter,  so  a  discussion  of  reli- 
gion is  out  of  season.  The  war  and  vacation 
times  are  with  us  and  will  receive  our  undivided 
attention.  There  is  no  malice  aforethought  in 
anything  we  have  said,  are  saying,  or  will  say. 
We  merely  want  to  do  a  mental  gyration  and 
impose  its  course  on  the  patient  readers  of  this 
magazine. 


Friend  and  brother,  when  we  left  the  good  city 
of  Baltimore  and  came  to  this  industrial  center  of 
West  Virginia,  namely,  Clarksburg,  we  were  sure 
that  we  had  passed  so  far  beyond  the  confines  of 
the  Monumental  City  that  visions  of  our  short 
life  there  would  never  be  experiencd.  But  the 
place  of  our  professional  birth  cannot  be  easily 
forgotten,  and  we  find  that  while  acting  as  mira- 
cle worker  in  professional  activities  with  the 
dentists  of  this  hamlet  we  still  have  time  to  peer 
into  the  past  and  recall  the  attendant  pleasant 
associations.  The  evening  after  our  arrival  here 
found  us  guiltily  approaching  a  news  stand  and 
buying  the  home  paper.  The  Sun.  Maybe  you 
have  read  how  the  Westerner  was  so  filled  with 
joy  at  seeing  a  cur  dog  from  back  home.  Well, 
that  Westerner's  joy  was  not  in  it  with  ours  at 
getting  The  Sun,  and  that  isn't  calling  Baltimore's 
leading  paper  a  cur  either.  Each  evening  finds 
us  buying  a  Sun  (two  cents  here),  and  that's  how 
we  know  the  UTniversity  is  still  there,  that  you 
had  a  commencement,  and  that  W.  J.  Bryan  re- 
ceived his  degree. 


THE  UNIVERSITY  GAZETTE 


One  of  the  most  interesting  things  in  reading 
The  Sun  paper,  is  the  syndicate  story  it  is  running 
entitled  "The  Great  European  War."  The  au- 
thor of  this  story  seems  to  be  a  prominent  Ger- 
man, namely,  "William  Kaiser,"  present  ruler,  or 
mis-ruler,  of  that  doomed  people  known  as  the 
Germans.  It  seems  that  in  18?5,  or  thereabouts, 
just  after  the  Franco-Prussian  war,  in  which 
Germany  succeeded  in  defeating  France,  the 
iniquitous  thought  was  conceived  in  the  then 
military  minds  of  Germany  that  with  a  perfect 
military  organization  Germany  could  control  the 
nations  of  the  globe.  Hence  the  growth  of  the 
greatest  military  power  known  to  the  history  of 
the  world.  This  same  "William  Kaiser"  when 
he  ascended  the  throne  dedicated  and  consecrated 
himself  to  the  theory  of  legalized  murder,  and  it 
is  claimed  by  some  he  declares  God  to  be  an 
accessory.  Under  the  direction  and  encourage- 
ment of  this  war  lord  this  military  spirit  has 
grown  until  all  other  institutions,  educational, 
industrial  and  commercial,  have  become  secon- 
dary to  it  and  made  a  part  of  it.  The  point  had 
been  reached  where  a  plea  of  military  necessity 
for  such  display  could  not  satisfy  an  overbur- 
dened and  overtaxed  common  people,  and  some 
proof  was  needed  to  show  the  demand  for  such 
an  organization  or  the  people  would  rebel  against 
the  "gold-braid-and-lace"  domination  of  the  war 
party.  Austria  aiTorded  the  prete.xt  through  a 
damnable  alliance  of  kings  into  which  pact  the 
people  of  neither  country  had  opportunity  to 
enter  on  their  own  initiative.  Xow  they  publish 
the  story  written  in  blood  of  the  common  people, 
illustrated  by  starving  old  men,  women  and  chil- 
dren, the  wanton  destruction  of  happy  homes,  and

loss  of  lives  in  ruthless  destruction  of  defense- 
less ships.  It  is  the  fault  of  kings  that  wars  are, 
and  both  kings  and  wars  should  be  made  to  go. 
Poor  Germany,  poor  Austria,  poor  France,  poor 
Russia,  poor  England  must  permit  their  vigorous 
manhood  to  flow  in  rivers  of  blood  because  a 
measly,  worthless  heir  to  a  European  throne  was 
shot  by  a  fanatical  partisan.  Commercial  and 
industrial  prestige  is  not  the  cause  for  it;  kings 
with  an  overstimulated  militia  as  a  protection  to 
personal  interest  is  at  the  bottom.  The  kings 
should  be  rooted  up  and  cast  out  that  the  com- 
mon man  might  come  into  his  own.  Alas,  too 
true — 

"Princes  and  lords  ma}-  flourish  or  may  fade; 
A  breath  can  make  them  as  a  breath  has  made ; 
But  a  bold  peasantry,  a  country's  pride. 
When  once  destroyed  can  never  be  supplied." 

As  in  our  last  editorial  we  stand  for  "the  boys," 
we  insist  now  we  stand  for  the  common  people. 
A  fat,  sleek  royalty  living  and  enjoying  privi- 
leges and  royalties  at  the  expense  of  the  common 
people  can  lay  no  more  just  claim  to  an  existence 
than  any  coftimon  individual  who  decides  be- 
cause he  wishes  he  may  spend  the  rest  of  his 
days  in  his  neighbor's  brightest  and  best  room 
and  after  death  pass  it  on  to  his  even  more  worth- 
less offsprings.  This  war  has  no  excuse,  and 
any  man  who  attempts  to  defend  it  on  the  part  of 
Austria  or  Germany,  the  arch  conspirators,  surely 
invites  the  contempt  of  our  intelligent  American 
public. 


By  the  way,  did  it  ever  occur  to  you  to  slip  off 
where  you  are  entirely  alone  and  meditate  the 
attitude  of  these  United  States  on  the  European 
struggle?  We  have,  but  we  were  fortunate  in 
not  finding  it  necessary  to  "slip  off."  Having 
just  started  in  business  here,  we  have  plenty  of 
time  "alone"  and  so  do  some  thinking  while  we 
wait.  This  country  is  most  fortunate  in  having 
the  good  schoolmaster,  W'oodrow  W^ilson,  as  her 
head.  Such  deliberation,  such  wise  counsel,  such 
sane  action  was  hardly  hoped  for,  but  happily  it 
is  part  of  his  virtuous  nature.  We  may  censure 
liim  for  his  JMexican  policy,  but  any  other  course 
might  have  been  infinitely  more  disastrous  and 
the  probabilities  are  in  proportion  to  the  possi- 
bilities. His  watchful  waiting  may  terminate  in 
war,  but  if  so  he  will  have  exhausted  all  re- 
sources to  maintain  peace  and  bring  about  calm.

The  aforesaid  Woodrow  Wilson  has  been  di- 
recting his  greatest  effort  toward  preventing 
international  complications  tending  to  draw  us 
into  the  great  European  war.  The  nations  at 
war,  and  especially  "William  Kaiser,"  has  broken 
practically  all  her  moral  bonds  and  violates  inter- 
national law  with  impunity.  The  latter  gentle- 
man has  influentially  declared  a  submarine  war 
on  everything  that  floats  from  a  cork  to  a  first- 
class  armed  cruiser.  However,  unarmed  and  de- 
fenseless merchantmen  carrying  supposed  contra- 
bands is  the  specialty.  To  date  there  have  been 
over  one  hundred  vessels  sunk,  one-fifth  being 
ships  from  neutral  countries  bound  to  neutral 
ports.  Her  object  is  to  isolate  the  British  people 
and  starve  them  into  submission.  Three  separate 
and  distinct  attacks  have  been  made  on  American 
rights.  The  "schoolmaster"  at  Washington  sent 
a  short  note  to  "Mr.  Kaiser"  stating  that  he  must 
respect  neutral  lives.  The  reply  was  a  ridiculous 
effort  to  exonerate  Germany  and  place  the  blame 
on  shipowners  for  permitting  passage  of  neutrals 
on  vessels  carrying  contraband.  It  was  not  a 
reply  to  the  reprimand,  but  an  excuse  offered  to 
cover  up  the  violation  by  the  miscreant.  Mr.  Wil- 
son didn't  like  the  excuse  so  went  back  at  Ger- 
many with  language  so  strong  that  Mr.  Bryan 
resigned  from  the  cabinet  and  took  the  first 
train  back  to  his  Nebraska  farm.  It's  "Bill 
Kaiser's"  next  move,  and  we  wager  the  state  of 
New  York  against  a  "Busy  Bertha"  that  "Bill" 
plays  fair.  If  he  doesn't,  the  "schoolmaster"  will 
keep  him  after  school  and  when  he  comes  out  he 
will  tell  the  boys  "he  didn't  do  nothin'." 


combining  fight  and  debate  in  the  ratio  of  five  to 
one  we  are  inclined  to  mix  it  up  a  little  before 
our  organs  of  speech  are  impaired  and  defense 
destroyed. 


We  were  pleased  to  know  that  Hon.  W.  J. 
Bryan  honored  the  graduating  class  of  1915  with 
an  address.  If  any  man  of  fair  Columbia's  sons 
can  turn  the  trick  the  great  Commoner  is  the  one. 
But  even  then  we  are  not  convinced  that  the  great 
Secretary  of  State  should  resign  his  commission 
at  a  critical  period  merely  because  he  differed  in 
plans  with  Mr.  Wilson.  It  is  a  fact  that  Mr. 
Bryan  is  an  idealist  and  has  views  highly  ad- 
mirable, but  we  fear  when  he  attempts  to  fight 
practical  piracy  with  theoretical  idealism  he  will 
fall  before  "Bill  Kaiser"  as  did  Archimedes  be- 
fore the  invading  soldiers  when  he  died  exclaim- 
ing "Don't  spoil  my  circle."  Persuasion  is  a 
great  asset  to  Bryan,  but  the  average  American 
can  fight  better  than  he  can  debate.  Personally 
we  prefer  the  debate,  but  when  our  opponent  is 


All  you  readers  of  the  Gazette  get  busy  and 
make  this  paper  worth  while.  It  matters  little  if 
you  are  in  Baltimore  or  Kalamazoo,  there  is 
something  you  can  do  to  help  the  good  work 
along.  No  matter  if  you  do  get  "Fisheritis,"  you 
must  "fish  it  off"  and  get  back  on  the  job.  Things 
will  not  just  do  themselves,  they  must  be  done, 
and  each  alumnus  should  make  of  himself  a  doer. 


Speaking  of  "fisheritis"  reminds  us  of  the  fol- 
lowing.    Does  it  remind  you? 

Fisheritis. 
"The  air  we  breathe,  the  food  we  eat. 

And  all  we  drink  is  'pizen,' 
And  how  we  live  from  day  to  day 

Is  really  quite  surprisin'. 
Malaria  rages  in  the  South, 

And  North  and  East  and  West, 
Pneumonia  mows  us  down  like  grass, 

And  Typhoid  does  the  rest. 
But  of  all  the  microbes,  great  or  small. 

That  Nature  sends  to  fight  us, 
The  worst  that  ever  struck  a  man 

Is  the  germ  of  Fisheritis. 
When  this  disease  gets  hold  on  you 

Your  name  is  "Dennis  Mud," 
For  it  never  quits  its  working 

When  it  once  gets  in  your  blood. 
So  when  the  thing  gets  chronic 

It  simply  can't  be  broke. 
You've  got  to  go  and  fish  it  out. 

Or  just  lie  down  and  croak. 
But  when  it's  cured  it  won't  stay  cured 

Like  any  other  sore. 
And  when  the  thing  breaks  out  again 

You've  got  to  fish  some  more." — Selected.

THE  MERGER  WITH  THE  COLLEGE  OF 
PHYSICIANS  AND  SURGEONS. 


Plans  to  merge  the  University  of  Maryland 
Medical  School  and  the  College  of  Physicians 
and  Surgeons  have  at  last  been  consummated. 
The  new  school  will  be  known  as  the  University 
of  Maryland  and  the  College  of  Physicians  and 
Surgeons.  In  consequence  of  the  merger,  the 
city  will  have  but  two  medical  schools  in  the 
future — the  new  combined  one  and  Johns  Hop- 
kins. 

Also,  in  consequence  of  the  merger,  the  com- 
bined school,  it  is  practically  certain,  will  receive 
from  the  regents  of  the  Maryland  State  Univer- 
sity $15,000  for  each  of  the  years  1915  and  1916. 
An  act  of  the  last  Legislature,  which  created  the 
Maryland  State  University,  gave  that  institution 
the  sum  named  to  be  used  for  medical  education 
in  the  State.  The  regents  of  the  State  University 
have  withheld  the  money,  pending  the  consumma- 
tion of  the  plans.  Neither  of  the  schools  now 
receives  State  aid. 

The  University  of  Maryland  regents  will  be 
increased  to  include  eight  men  as  representatives 
of  the  College  of  Physicians  and  Surgeons ;  and 
the  medical  faculty  of  the  University,  which  num- 
bers 11  men,  will  be  increased  by  10  from  the 
Physicians  and  Surgeons,  making  31  in  all.  There 
will  be  no  resignations. 

The  plan  of  merger  provides  that  the  first  and 
second  year  classmen  of  the  schools  will  be  taught 
by  the  combined  faculty,  probably  in  the  buildings 
at  the  University.  The  third  and  fourth  year 
classmen  will  be  taught  separately — that  is,  the 
University  men  at  the  University  and  the  Phy- 
sicians and  Surgeons  men  at  the  College — and  by 
their  present  respective  faculties. 

The  new  school  will  have  three  hospitals — the 
University,  Mercy  and  the  Maryland  General. 
Incidentally,  the  University  of  Maryland,  after 
the  merger,  will  have  1499  students,  not  counting 
those  at  St.  John's  College,  which  constitutes  the 
University's  department  of  arts  and  sciences.  If 
the  roster  of  the  latter  institution  be  included,  the 
student  body  of  the  L^niversity  will  number  169  I. 

The  plan  of  merger  has  been  accepted  by  all 
parties  concerned,  and  will  become  effective  im- 
mediately. For  a  number  of  years  there  has 
been  a  great  desire  to  close  up  the  disreputable 
medical  schools  of  this  city  and  to  merge  the  good 


schools  into  one  strong  institution.  One  by  one 
the  weak  schools  have  disappeared,  and  the  mer- 
ger with  the  Baltimore  Medical  College  in  1913 
lead  the  way  to  a  consummation  of  the  hope  that 
we  should  soon  be  able  to  merge  all  the  reputable 
schools  except  the  Johns  Hopkins,  into  one  strong 
school.  This  happily  is  now  effected.  The  fac- 
ulty of  the  College  of  Physicians  and  Surgeons 
do  not  come  to  us  as  suppliants,  but  agree  to  a 
merger  in  which  they  shall  have  full  and  ade- 
quate representation,  from  an  altruistic  belief  that 
such  a  combination  is  for  the  best  interests  of 
medical  education  in  this  city  and  State. 

Work  upon  the  merger  has  been  under  way 
for  months.  The  last  Legislature  created  the 
Maryland  State  University,  the  constituent  mem- 
bers of  which  are  all  the  colleges  receiving  State 
aid.  State  Senator  William  Milnes  Maloy  was 
the  author  of  the  measure  creating  the  univer- 
sity, and  has  served  as  its  provost.  The  pur- 
pose sought  in  the  creation  of  the  university 
was  the  prevention  of  unnecessary  duplication 
of  departments  in  State-aided  institutions.  And 
the  State  University  authorities,  having  $15,000 
a  year  for  two  years  to  apply  to  medical  educa- 
tion, have  sought  to  bring  the  two  schools  to- 
gether, so  that  the  money  might  be  given  them 
without  duplication  of  effort  and  energy. 

In  the  meantime,  the  faculties  of  the  schools 
were  seeking  a  basis  for  combination,  and  finally 
they  worked  out  one  for  themselves.  They  were 
assisted  in  the  negotiations  by  William  L.  Mar- 
bury  and  J.  Walter  ^Lord,  representing,  respect- 
ively, the  College  of  Physicians  and  Surgeons 
and  the  University  of  Maryland  Medical  School. 
Both  faculties  realized  that  medical  education  is 
so  expensive  in  this  day  that  tuition  fees  do  not 
yield  sufficient  and  that  there  must  be  either  a 
considerable  endowment — such  as  the  Hopkins 
has — or  State  aid. 

The  University  of  Maryland  Medical  School 
was  established  in  1807,  and  the  College  of  Phy- 
sicians and  Surgeons  in  1872.  Dr.  Arthur  M. 
Shipley  is  acting  dean  of  the  former  and  Dr. 
William  F.  Lockwood  is  dean  of  the  latter.  The 
combined  school  will  be  affiliated  with  the  Mary- 
land State  University  after  it  receives  State  aid. 

It  is  worth  noting,  incidentally,  that  the  Uni- 
versity of  Maryland  Law  School  recently  ab- 
sorbed the  Baltimore  Law  School,  so  that  there 
is  now  only  one  law  school  in  the  city.

WORK  OF  THE  LAW  HONOR  COM- 
MITTEE. 


Shortly  after  the  last  examination  given  the 
Junior  Law  Class,  the  Committee  on  Student 
Honor,  having  received  charges  against  five  stu- 
dents, met  to  consider  same.  In  the  course  of 
the  proceedings  one  of  the  accused  was  found  to 
be  a  member  of  a  higher  class,  and  being  outside 
the  jurisdiction  of  this  committee,  the  case  was 
dismissed.  The  remaining  four  men,  members 
of  the  Junior  Class,  were  tried  and  found  not 
guilty. 

The  conditions  under  which  the  examinations 
were  held  subjected  the  Honor  System  to  a  severe 
test,  inasmuch  as  the  class  had  no  separate  room, 
and  students  in  other  classes  taking  the  examina- 
tions together  with  them,  it  was  found  difficult  to 
determine  over  whom  the  Honor  Committee  had 
jurisdiction. 

There  was  no  ill-feeling  against  the  Committee 
for  imposing  upon  the  accused  appearing  before 
them  and  troubling  them  with  the  unpleasantness 
necessarily  the  result  of  its  action.  After  the 
trial  was  over  the  accused  all  stated  that  in  the 
beginning  they  had  entertained  grave  doubts  as  to 
the  ultimate  success  of  the  System,  but  after  hav- 
ing seen  the  practical  workings  of  the  Honor 
Committee,  they  expressed  the  belief  that  it  was 
practical  and  worthy  of  commendation.

Through  an  error  it  was  stated  in  the  June 
number  of  the  "Gazette"  that  the  Honor  Case 
was  won  by  Messrs.  Harper  and  Soboloff.  We 
wish  to  correct  this  mistake  by  saying  that  the

LAW— JUNIOR. 


(Editor  this  column,  this  issue — 
DAVt  LowENSTEiN,  Jr.) 

In  the  last  month's  issue  of  The  Gazette,  some 
very  inquisitive  gentleman  rather  significantly 
inquired  into  the  identity  of  a  certain  Elizabeth. 
''Who  is  this  Elisabeth?"  he  asks  in  characters 
at  once  impressive  and  startling.  Yes,  li'hof 
zvho?  by  all  means,  WHO? 

She  is 

A  girl  in  the  heart  of  Maryland, 

Who  makes  daddy's  home  a  fairyland. 

Rev.  Dave,  raves  o'er  and  prizes  her, 

His  only  child,  just  idolizes  her; 

This  little  dear  so  clever,  bright  and  cheery, 

Makes  life  pleasant,  gay,  and  merry. 

Sweet  as  a  tulip,  pretty  as  the  rose. 

She's  daddy's  jewel  where'er  he  goes! 

Now,  how  do  you  like  that,  you  big  stiff! 


Now  that  A.  C.  Joseph's  brother  Dan  is  a  mem- 
ber of  the  City  Council  may  we  not  soon  expect 
to  hear  of  A.  C.  himself  entering  the  political 
world  and  landing  a  job?  We  make  no  refer- 
ence here,  of  course,  to  the  position  left  vacant 
by  the  Hon.  Grape  Juice  Bryan  leaving  the  cabi- 
net so  suddenly.  Now,  mind  you,  we  are  not 
insinuating  that  Mr.  Joseph  is  a  less  able  states- 
man than  Air.  Brvan.

DENTAL— GRADUATE. 


Dr.  J.  Ben  Robinson,  class  of  1914,  has  severed 
his  connection  with  the  University,  and  has  lo- 
cated at  504  Prunty  Building,  Clarksburg,  W. 
Va.,  where  he  is  engaged  in  private  practice.  We 
are  glad  to  state,  however,  that  he  still  maintains 
his  interest  in  the  Gazette.  He  has  our  best 
wishes  for  success. 


PHARMACY— GRADUATE. 


The  thirty-third  annual  meeting  of  the  Mary- 
land Pharmaceutical  Association  was  held  at 
Braddock  Heights,  Md.,  June  32nd  to  26th,  in- 
clusive, with  Headquarters  at  Hotel  Braddock. 

This  location  is  convenient  and  accessible  to  all 
members.  There  is  no  more  beautiful  scenery 
in  Maryland.     The  business  and  social  program. 


in  addition  to  the  beauties,  of  nature,  made  it 
well  worth  while  for  all  who  attended. 

The  entertainment  programs  of  our  meetings 
have  always  been  enjoyable,  but  the  committee 
for  this  year  made  a  new  record  in  this  respect 
and  made  it  impossible  for  any  one  to  look  on 
any  dull  moments.  The  fact  that  a  meeting  of 
the  General  Assembly  of  Maryland  will  be  held 
during  the  coming  winter,  made  this  meeting  a 
very  important  one  from  a  legislative  standpoint, 
which  just  now  is  a  vital  one  to  the  pharmacists 
of  the  State.  The  attendance  was  large  and 
representative. 

Several  important  addresses  were  delivered  on 
legislative,  as  well  as  on  other  subjects  of  interest, 
and  the  reports  of  several  committees  were  up 
to  the  usual  standard. 

Our  Association  has  steadily  grown  in  mem- 
bership, influence  and  in  service  to  its  members. 
Each  member  owes  attendance  to  its  meetings, 
continued  interest  in  its  growth,  and  participa- 
tion in  the  work  it  hopes  to  do  in  the  future. 
Your  attendance  at  the  meetings,  prepared  to 
take  an  active  part  in  the  business  program  and 
in  the  entertainment  features,  will  enable  you, 
we  believe,  to  go  away  full  of  enthusiasm  for 
the  Association. 

Every  pharmacist  in  Maryland  is  welcome  at 
all  meetings  and  is  cordially  invited  to  enjoy 
the  social  features.  If  you  are  not  a  member, 
this  will  be  a  good  time  to  join,  to  meet  your 
fellow-pharmacists,  and  to  help  this  Association, 
which  is  working  in  the  interest  of  every  Mary- 
land pharmacist. 


Dr.  Henry  P.  Hynson,  who  holds  the  chair  of 
practical  pharmacy  and  dispensing,  in  the  de- 
partment of  Pharmacy  at  the  University,  left  re- 
cently on  an  extended  tour  West,  which  will 
take  him  to  San  Francisco  and  Alaska.

They  give 
New  views  to  life,  and  teach  us  how  to  Hve ; 
They  soothe  the  grieved,  the  stubborn  they  chastise. 
Fools  they  admonish,  and  confirm  the  wise : 
Their  aid  they  yield  to  all :   they  never  shun 
The  man  of  sorrow,  nor  the  wretch  undone : 
Unlike  the  hard,  the  selfish  and  the  proud. 
They  fly  not  sullen  from  the  suppliant  crowd ; 
Nor  tell  to  various  people  various  things, 
But  show  to  subjects  what  they  show  to  kings. 

Now  bid  thy  soul  man's  busy  scenes  exclude, 
And  view  composed  this  silent  multitude : — 
Silent  they  are,  but  though  deprived  of  sound. 
Here  all  the  living  languages  abound; 
Here  all  that  live  no  more ;  preserved  they  lie, 
In  tombs  that  open  to  the  curious  eye. 
Blessed  be  the  gracious  Power,  who  taught  mankind 
To  stamp  a  lasting  image  of  the  mind !

MR.    BRYAN   DELIVERS    COMMENCE- 
MENT ADDRESS. 


Former  Secretary  of  State,  William  Jennings 
Bryan,  delivered  the  commencement  address  at 
the  graduation  exercises  of.  the  University  of 
Maryland  held  at  the  Lyric,  Jime  1,  1915. 

Speaking  on  the  relationship  of  man  to  govern- 
ment, Mr.  Bryan  said : 

"The  first  thing  I  want  to  say  to  you  is  that  our 
theory  of  government  is  the  best  the  world  has 
ever  known.  (Applause.)  I  do  not  say  that  it  is 
the  best  government ;  I  say  it  is  the  nearest  to 
perfection  which  the  world  has  known.  How  do 
I  know  that?  Because  the  world  is  marching 
toward  that  form  of  government.  You  may  go 
where  you  please  and  you  will  find  that  the  world 
is  coming  more  and  more  toward  acceptance  of 
the  theory  of  government  by  and  of  the  people. 

"Some  of  you  may  ask  if  that  is  true  in  this 
time  of  war.  I  answer  that  war  is  not  the  normal 
condition  of  the  world  and  that  peace  is,  and 
that  the  true  movements  of  the  human  race  are 
not  seen  in  war,  but  in  peace.  Times  of  war  and 
peace  may  be  compared  with  times  of  anger  and 
calmness  in  a  man.  Calmness  is  a  man's  normal 
state.  If  he  were  angry  all  the  time  he  would  not 
live  a  year.    He  would  burn  himself  out. 

"And,  here,  let  me  say  that  the  eras  of  war  are 
growing  fewer  and  the  eras  of  peace  are  growing 
longer.  I  believe  the  influences  of  peace  are  be- 
coming stronger  and  that  the  terrible  war  now 
raging  across  the  waters  will  hasten  the  day  when 
the  nations  of  the  earth  will  no  longer  know  war. 

"Now,  the  last  25  years  show  the  growth  of  the 
popular  form  of  government.  It  is  the  govern- 
ment of  the  future.  So  I  would  have  you  under- 
stand the  controlling  principle  of  this  form  of 
government.  It  is  that  the  people  have  a  right 
to  what  they  want.  A  strong  statement,  you  say. 
Yes,  and  it  has  been  challenged.  But  I  have  tried 
to  make  it  strong,  and  if  you  know  a  stronger  one, 
I  will  use  it.     A  strong  statement,  you  know, 


draws  out  the  opposition  and  then  you  are  able  to 
find  and  overcome  error. 

"In  government,  you  must  have  the  rule  of  the 
majority  or  the  rule  of  the  minority;  you  must 
give  the  presumption  to  one  or  the  other.  If  you 
would  give  the  presumption  to  the  majority,  you 
need  not  believe  that  the  majority  will  not  make 
mistakes. 

"You  cannot  escape  mistakes.  In  a  monarchy, 
the  king  makes  the  mistakes  for  the  people ;  in  an 
aristocracy,  the  few  make  mistakes  for  the  people, 
and  history  shows  that  sometimes  they  find  it  so 
profitable  to  make  mistakes  that  they  are  unwill- 
ing not  to  do  so.  You  will  have  mistakes  in  any 
form  of  government.  I  hold  that  the  people  have 
a  right  to  make  their  own  mistakes ;  that  the  ma- 
jcjrity  should  rule. 

"You  will  find  that  the  people  make  mistakes, 
but  that  they  never  make  them  intentionally. 
And  you  will  find,  too,  that  when  they  discover 
their  mistakes  they  are  prompt  to  remedy  them. 
It  never  pays  the  people  to  make  mistakes ;  it 
always  pays  them  to  correct  them;  when  made 
unintentionally. 

"And  now  let  me  say  this  word  to  you  about 
your  part  in  a  government  in  which  the  people 
rule.  Majority  rule  depends  upon  the  acquies- 
cence of  all  in  the  action  of  the  majority;  it  is, 
therefore,  your  duty  to  support  the  expressed 
will  of  the  majority.  That  is  the  only  way  in 
which  you  can  maintain  free  institutions.  The 
man  who  would  substitute  minority  rule  for  that 
of  the  majority  is  a  traitor  to  free  institutions."

GENERAL    READING    FOR    A    PROFES- 
SIONAL LAW  STUDENT. 


Hon.  James  P.  GorTer,  Judge  Supreme  Bench 
of  Baltimore  City.     Class  of  1881. 


One-half  an  hour  a  day  at  least  should  be  given 
to  general  reading  by  one  studying  law  as  a  pro- 
fession. A  lawyer  must  not  only  master  the 
science  of  his  profession,  but  to  accomplish  the 


20 


THE  UNIVERSITY  GAZETTE 


best  and  highest  results,  he  should  be  a  man  of 
education  and  familiar  with  all  matters  of  gen- 
eral interest.  To  become  a  man  of  education 
one  must  not  only  read  but  read  thoughtfully  the 
best  books ;  read  them  in  such  a  way  that  he 
grasps  and  comprehends  the  meaning  of  the 
writer.  This  requires  really  more  than  the  mere 
reading  of  books;  it  requires  a  careful  study  of 
them.  It  would  be  a  wise  thing  for  a  young  man 
starting  out  in  his  professional  studies  to  get  the 
advice  of  someone  qualified  to  advise  him  as  to 
what  books  he  should  read ;  to  purchase  such 
books,  well  printed  and  bound,  then  to  read  them 
carefully  and  repeatedly,  so  as  to  make  them  his 
own. 

He  should  endeavor  not  only  to  become  familiar 
with  all  the  thoughts  and  ideas  contained  in  these 
books,  but  to  learn  and  appreciate  the  manner  and 
style  in  which  those  thoughts  and  ideas  are  ex- 
pressed. It  is  essential  to  a  lawyer  to  write  and 
speak  well.  A  great  aid  to  learning  to  write  and 
speak  is  to  become  a  man  of  education ;  and 
there  is  no  better  way  of  educating  one's  self  than 
by  taking  some  of  the  classics,  say  the  works  of 
Milton,  and  studying  them  diligently  and  thought- 
fully. Endeavor  to  get  at  the  author's  meaning, 
know  all  his  illusions,  whether  biblical,  classical 
or  political ;  learn  the  history  of  the  times  when 
he  wrote;  the  influences,  religious  and  political, 
that  affected  those  times ;  the  author's  relation- 
ship to  the  times  and  their  effect  upon  him  and 
his  influence  upon  them.  Read  much  not  many 
things,  is  a  good  maxim  to  follow. 

A  professional  man  should  not  only  thus  edu- 
cate himself,  but  he  should  keep  well  posted  on 
all  the  questions  of  the  day.  To  do  this  he  should 
subscribe  to  two  or  three  of  the  best  periodicals 
and    read   them    carefully    and    understandingly. 

The  law,  after  all,  is  only  the  technique  of  the 
profession.  A  man  to  reach  the  highest  walks 
of  his  calling  must  be  equipped  with  a  general 
knowledge  of  all  subjects.  This  he  can  only  ac- 
quire by  general  reading.  One  can  read  with 
more  care  and  interest  his  own  books.  He  should 
make  them  his  intimate  friends.  They  will  be 
friends  upon  whom  he  may  always  rely. 


A  POST-GRADUATE  COURSE  IN  LAW. 


J.  Wm.  Schimmel, 
Member  of  the  Class  of  1916. 


At  a  banquet  of  the  Class  of  1916  of  the  Law 
School  of  the  L^niversity  of  Maryland  held  some- 
time ago  at  the  Rennert,  some  of  the  members  of 
the  faculty  of  law  addressed  the  class.  Mr. 
Ward  B.  Coe,  one  of  the  faculty,  promulgated 
the  propaganda  of  a  (voluntary)  post-graduate 
course,  which  would  treat  some  of  the  most  im- 
portant branches  of  law  and  politics,  and  which 
were  not  in  the  regular  course  of  instruction  now 
prevailing  at  the  Law  School.  By  voluntary,  I 
mean,  the  fourth  year's  study  would  not  be  neces- 
sary for  a  degree. 

Mr.  Coe  said  that  he  had  tried  on  numerous 
occasions  to  get  the  faculty  interested  in  his  idea, 
but  had  received  no  encouargement  from  that 
body,  the  thought  of  the  faculty  being  that  the 
student  wanted  to  get  his  degree  and  then  prac- 
tice law  with  the  least  number  of  years  of  study 
possible  and  practicable.  This,  I  think,  is  an 
erroneous  idea,  as  there  are  quite  a  few  men  now 
studying  law  at  the  school  who  are  real  students 
and  who  would  welcome  an  opportunity  of  learn- 
ing something  about  politics,  political  economy, 
the  public  service  commission  and  law  in  Mary- 
land, the  Workmen's  Compensation  Law,  and  a 
few  other  subjects  very  necessary  to  one  who 
intends  to  practice  law,  but  which  are  not  taught 
at  the  University  of  Maryland. 

In  the  Register  distributed  annually  by  the  Sec- 
retary of  the  Law  School  we  find  the  following: 
"All  the  courses  upon  History  and  Politics  at  the 
Johns  Hopkins  University  are  open  to  law  stu- 
dents upon  the  payment  of  very  moderate  fees, 
and  are  given  at  hours  which  do  not  interfere 
with  the  attendance  upon  the  lectures  at  the  Law 
School." 

Now  with  the  post-graduate  course  on  the 
course  of  study  it  would  be  unnecessary  for  stu- 
dents at  the  University  of  Mar}dand  to  attend  the 
lectures  at  the  Johns  Hopkins  University  for 
these  branches.  Besides,  these  lectures  at  the 
Johns  Hopkins  University  are  given  in  the  day- 
time. How  about  tfie  night  scholars  at  the  Law 
School,  who  are  willing  to  learn  while  working? 
This  cuts  them  out  of  "History  and  Politics',' 
entirely.     They  can't  attend  the  lectures  at  the 


THE  UNIVERSITY  GAZETTE 


21 


Johns  Hopkins  University  because  they  must 
work.  Can't  the  faculty  help  them?  The  solu- 
tion of  this  is  the  starting  of  a  post-graduate 
course. 

The  question  that  the  faculty  wants  answered 
is,  will  a  post-graduate  course  pay?  Can  they 
get  enough  of  the  students  to  enroll  for  a  fourth 
year? 

I  am  of  the  opinion  it  would  pay.  I  think  at 
least  thirty  to  fifty  students  would  come  back  for 
a  post-graduate  course,  to  take  up  the  very  essen- 
tial branches  of  law  and  politics  not  now  included 
in  our  course  of  instruction  at  the  Law  School. 

Won't  the  students  interested  in  this  "post- 
graduate propaganda"  let  the  secretary  hear  from 
them,  so  the  faculty  can  take  up  the  suggestion  of 
Mr.  Coe?  Let  the  secretary  or  the  dean  know 
how  many  are  willing  and  will  come  back  for  a 
post-graduate  course,  and  if  enough  respond  to 
make  it  practical,  we  can  have  the  next  year's 
Register  omit  one  paragraph  which  has  been  in 
it  so  long  that  the  printer  has  his  type  already  set 
for  the  next  year's  work.

WAR  AND  THE  PHYSICIAN. 


An  unequaled  opportunity  awaits  the  Christian 
Scientist,  the  Chiropractor,  Osteopath  and  other 
followers  of  strange  gods,  to  prove  the  worth 
of  their  theories  and  doctrines.  Never  before  in 
history  has  there  been  such  a  scourge  of  death, 
suffering  and  disease,  as  follows  in  wake  of  the 
European  war.  Servia  is  plague-stricken  with 
typhus,  typhoid  and  dysenteries  are  following 
every  army,  and  sepsis,  gangrene  and  tetany  are 
adding  to  the  mortality  among  the  wounded. 
There  has  been  a  shortage  of  medical  supplies, 
vaccines,  serums,  and  dressings.  Ordinary  rules 
of  warfare  have  been  so  disregarded  that  the 
wounded  can  only  be  reached  after  nightfall,  and 
the  deaths  among  doctors  and  nurses  of  the  Red 
Cross  Service  have  been  unduly  large.  In  no 
other  war  has  the  percentage  of  deaths  among 
physicians  been  so  large. 

Up  to  now  we  have  heard  of  no  body  of  Scient- 
ists rushing  to  the  front — no  Chiropractor  Corps 
have  been  formed, — no  one  but  the  regular  phy- 
sician is  at  the  front,  risking  his  life  in  the  per- 
formance of  his  sacred  calling. 

There  has  been  no  Chiropractor  to  manipulate 
the  spines  of  the  sick  and  dying,  no  Science  prac- 


titioner placing  in  the  hands  of  the  suffering  a 
copy  of  Mother  Eddy's  "Key  to  The  Scriptures," 
and  with  eyes  turned  heavenward  telling  them 
that  their  suffering  and  pain  is  not  real  but  only 
"mental  error." 

In  fact,  wherever  and  whenever  humanity  calls 
for  help,  wherever  the  sick  and  dying,  the  maimed 
and  wounded,  the  diseased  and  afflicted  cry  for 
help  and  succor,  it  is  the  regular  physician  who 
responds.  It  is  his  methods  and  treatments  that 
are  needed — it  is  the  drugs  and  serums,  the  anti- 
septics and  anaesthetics  that  modern  medicine  has 
discovered  and  evolved — it  is  the  principles  of 
prophylaxis  and  hygiene  that  medical  science  has 
formulated  that  is  conserving  the  health  of  the 
vast  armies,  combating  infection  and  disease,  and 
that  in  spite  of  the  most  unfavorable  surroundings 
and  conditions,  limited  supplies  and  facilities  have 
raised  the  percentage  of  recoveries  among  the 
wounded  higher  than  any  previous  war.

BIOGRAPHY  OF  "1915"  LAW  DEPARTMENT, 
DAY  CLASS. 


IN  1912  we  entered  here, 

The  law  to  learn  and  master; 
Through  toil  and  strife  we  tried  to  near. 

The  source  of  knowledge  faster. 

At  first  we  thought  it  was  a  snap, 

When  the  lectures  we  came  to  hear. 
We'd  sit  and  doze,  then  take  a  nap 

While  the  law  was  being  made  clear. 

We  warmed  our  way  into  the  heart 

Of  Poe,  Judge  Bond  and  Bonaparte, 
Who  through  the  course,  with  all  their  might 

Made  Sales,  Pleading  and  Contracts  a  real  delight. 

Then  came  the  sorrow  and  the  tears; 

Few  knew  the  Rule  in  Spencer's  Case. 
It  was  Real  Property  that  raised  our  fears 

With  Conditional  Fees  and  Base. 

At  last  we  pulled  through  one  long  year; 

And  then  we  made  it  two. 
Our  Christmas  Banquet  was  the  Peer; 

'Twas  also  something  new. 

Once  with  the  Seniors  we  did  clash ; 

One  Friday,  Practice  night. 
It  was  a  big  and  daring  dash ; 

'Twas  termed  a  playful  fight. 

Here,  ready,  we  stand, 

The  Senior  band, 
To  win  the  world's  esteem. 

As  through  life  we  roam, 
We'll  remember  our  home,

EDITORIALLY  EXPRESSED. 


In  the  July  Gazette,  we  departed  somewhat 
from  our  usual  form  of  writing  and  made  ref- 
erence to  the  present  European  struggle.  We 
attempted  to  attack  Kings  and  wars  and  the  mili- 
tary spirit.  Since  the  appearance  in  print  of  what 
we  had  to  say,  we  have  received  two  caustic 
reprimands  from  readers  of  the  Gazette.  The 
argument  of  the  one,  declaring  that  we  have  done 
Germany  an  injustice,  the  other,  condemning  us 


The  College  Man    Sets

for  violating  the  neutrality  of  the  American  spirit. 
In  the  first  case  a  knowledge  of  circumstances 
will  justify  our  position;  in  the  second  case  a 
knowledge  of  the  meaning  of  neutrality  will  suf- 
fice to  satisfy.  However,  for  fear  of  any  injured 
feeling  on  the  part  of  our  pro-German  readers, 
we  insist  that  no  offense  was  meant  to  the  great 
German  people.  It  is  their  misfortune  that  they 
are  in  this  day  of  enlightenment  ruled  by  one 
who  as  thoroughly  believes  in  the  "divine  right 
of  kings"  as  Louis  XIV. 


There  is  much  satisfaction  to  be  had  from  the 
thought  that  the  efforts  of  the  University  of  Mary- 
land and  the  College  of  Physicians  and  Surgeons 
are  unified.  It  means  a  greater  efficiency  and  bet- 
ter results.  It  means  that  in  calling  the  attention 
of  the  public  to  the  service  of  schools  of  this  grade 
that  the  sacrifice  each  one  has  made  to  blend  these 
two  long  established  institutions  must  call  for 
greater  admiration  and  greater  patronage.  Johns 
Hopkins  has  its  place  as  distinctly  as  does  the 
University  of  Maryland,  but  the  latter  enjoys  the 
more  enviable  distinction  of  rendering  first  aid 
to  society  in  that  it  gets  closer  to  humble  human 
needs.  Long  live  this  new  formed  unit,  and  may 
she  continue  to  prosper  till  all  the  world  shall 
rise  and  call  her  blessed.

EDITORIALLY  REPLIED. 


It  is  always  bad  weather  when  editors  take 
to  fighting  each  other,  for  the  consequences  are 
woeful  to  behold.  There  results  such  a  flinging 
of  ink-wells,  paste-pots,  shears,  and  other  news- 
paper paraphanalia  in  so  unchildish  and  hap- 
hazard a  manner,  that  the  conflict  is  not  long  over 
before  the  paper  becomes  defendant  in  law-suits 
for  personal  injuries  to  employees.  Yet  man  will 
fight,  for  fundamentally  he  is  a  warring  animal, 
a  lustful  beast  that  glories  in  the  brutal  game,  and 
who  charges  at  the  first  blast  of  the  trumpet.  So 
we  take  our  editorial  sword  and  shield  and  enter 
the  arena  to  meet  our  co-editor-in-chief  on  the 
question  of  Germany's  position  in  this  war. 

Our  readers  will  recall  that  in  this  place  of  our 
last  issue  one  of  the  editors-in-chief  of  the 
University  Gazette  took  occasion  to  label  His 
Imperial  Majesty  the  German  Emperor,  as  a  cer- 
tain "William  Kaiser,  tiie  author  of  a  serial  en- 
titled 'The  Great  European  War.'  "  His  further 
references  to  his  Majesty  were  by  no  means  more 
respectful,  for  he  later  described  him  as  "the 
present  ruler,  or  mis-ruler,  of  that  doomed  peo- 
ple known  as  the  Germans."  (Doomed,  indeed, 
when  they  own  almost  all  of  Belgium,  an  eighth 
of  France,  part  of  Russia,  and  not  a  foot  of  their 
beloved  Fatherland  in  the  hands  of  the  enemy!) 
He  then  informs  us  that  when  "this  same  Wil- 
liam Kaiser  ascended  the  throne,  he  dedicated 
and  consecrated  himself  to  the  theory  of  legalized 
murder,  and  it  is  claimed  by  some  that  he  declares 
God  to  be  his  accessory."  (Horrible,  gruesomely 
horrible,  for  God  is  only  with  the  moral  Eng- 
lish!) It  would  be  superfluous  to  reprint  the 
various  other  epithets  and  slurs  cast  at  Kaiser 
Wilhelm  for  they  are  all  of  the  same  type,  to-wit : 
the  regular,  willy-nilly  rumble-bumble  about 
starting  the  war,  murdering  the  innocent,  and^re- 
tarding  the  progress  of  civilization.  Heinous 
and  bloody  are  the  deeds  attributed  to  Germany's 
ruler.. 

But  throwing  mud  at  the  Kaiser  is  the  favorite 
diversion  of  the  hysterical  observers  of  this  war. 
The  fighting  men  are  too  busy  with  their  tasks 
to  bother  themselves  with  blaspheming  the  Ger- 
man name,  and  it  is  left  for  neutral  America,  the 
press  backed  by  the  manufacturers  of  munitions 


of  war,  old  maids,  yodlers,  burlesque  troupes,  and 
a  stay-at-home  coroner's  jury  of  Cork,  to  spit 
at  the  German  flag.  We  are  indeed  surprised 
that  our  colleague  should  fall  in  line  with  such 
a  motley  crowd  and  burst  out  with  imprecations 
and  invectives  against  the  Kaiser. 

For  our  own  part  we  do  not  believe  that  Ger- 
many is  right  in  this  war.  Nevertheless,  it  is 
equally  hard  for  us  to  understand  that  the  Allies 
are  any  more  justified  than  their  enemies.  In 
fact,  it  is  our  hope  that  Germany  will  be  humili- 
ated because  we  believe  that  her  militarism  is  a 
menace  to  world  peace.  By  humiliated  we  do  not 
mean  destroyed — for  there  could  be  no  greater 
blow  to  civilization  than  the  destruction  of  a 
nation  that  can  teach  us  efificiency,  the  greatest 
present  need  of  civilized  countries.  Efficiency 
means  everything:  Art,  Science,  Philosophy, 
Manufacture,  Prosperity.  As  Mr.  E.  W.  Howe 
says,  "What  efficiency  will  do  in  war,  it  will 
also  accomplish  in  peace.  Liberally  translated, 
the  much-discussed  German  term,  Kiiltur,  prob- 
ably means  efficiency." 

There  is  one  thing  that  we  in  America  should 
strive  to  attain  during  this  conflict — and  that  is 
a  judicial  temperament  that  is  not  inflamed  by  re- 
ports from  the  English  Press  Bureau,  and  which 
results  in  such  hysterical  yelping  from  coast  to 
coast.  The  place  for  every  man  and  newspaper 
in  this  country  is  in  the  section  marked  "Strict 
Neutrality,"  for  if  we  continue  to  roam  about 
casting  slurs  and  gibes  at  Germany,  we  will  soon 
intimately  know  what  a  42-centimeter  shell 
means.  There  are  no  Zeppelins  over  this  coun- 
try dropping  bombs,  and  there  is  no  official  cen- 
sor here  to  announce  to  the  rest  of  civilization 
that  they  are  falling  on  women,  children,  invalids, 
incurables,  hospitals  and  orphan  asylums.  There 
are  no  efficient  German  spies  here  who  are  shop- 
keepers by  day,  and  at  night  builders  of  concrete 
bases  for  "Busy  Berthas"  to  be  placed  there  at 
the  proper  moment  to  blow  our  unfortified  cities 
to  smithereens. 

No,  our  place  is  behind  the  President,  to  act 
calmly,  to  check  the  impassioned  speech  that  rises 
to  our  lips,  to  sit  by  the  fire  and  watch — in  a  word, 
to  throw  ofif  this  rag  of  bogus  neutrality  and 
don  a  cleaner  garnet.  We  know  that  the  wliole 
fighting  crowd  is  but  a  swarm  of  rats  under  the 


24 


THE  UNIVERSITY  GAZETTE 


spell  of  that  Pied  Piper,  Mars.  And  it  is  time 
that  we  settle  down  and  understand  that  no  one 
of  the  belligerents  is  individually  responsible  for 
this  miserable  business,  for  they  have  been  wait- 
ing to  spring  at  each  other's  throats  ever  since 
the  map  of  Europe  was  re-arranged.  The  Eng- 
lish are  no  more  fighting  for  their  ideals  than  the 
Germans  are  for  theirs.  The  greatest  difference 
is  that  the  Germans  are  performing  their  duties 
more  like  men  than  the  English ;  they  cry  less, 
drink  less,  cringe  less  ;  they  have  no  internal  strife 
in  Germany;  recruiting  officers  don't  have  to 
get  down  on  their  knees  to  beg  men  to  join  the 
colors. 

Lastly,  when  you  examine  Kaiser  Wilhelm  un- 
der the  Microscope  of  Truth,  you  will  not  find 
him  the  mean  character  our  editor  would  have 
us  think  he  is,  or  the  blood-thirsty,  fierce-looking, 
Satanic  imp  that  American  cartoonists  draw  daily 
in  the  attitude  of  murdering  civilization.  The 
ruler  of  the  Germans  is  as  sane,  brilliant,  and 
great  a  man  as  any  of  the  rulers  of  the  vi'orld. 
The  German  people  love  him  as  fervently  as  his 
forbears  were  adored  by  the  populace  in  their 
palmiest  days,  reports  from  the  English  notwith- 
standing. 

Perhaps  Germany's  government  is  not  the  kind 
that  meets  with  the  approval  of  democratic 
America,  but  that,  we  respectfully  submit,  is  the 
government  of  the  German  people,  which  has 
placed  it  in  the  position  it  holds  today,  and  when 
they  are  tired  of  it  they  can  replace  it  with  the 
republicanism  of  this  country.

for  the  purpose  of  forming  a  Medical  Confer- 
ence to  be  held  once  a  week  during  the  summer 
months,  for  University  alumni  and  other  grad-

S.  Howard  White,  who  is  a  freshman  at  the  Uni- 
versity, had  attained  a  very  excellent  percentage 
in  his  first  year's  work.  While  in  the  city.  Dr.

LAW— SENIOR. 


"We  have  met  the  enemy  and  we  are  theirs." 
This  sentence  differs  from  that  of  historical  fame, 
and  is  made  in  reference  to  the  recent  State  Bar 
Examination. 


A  great  and  noble  institution  of  learning  has 
recently  sprung  up  in  our  midst.  It  bears  the 
name  of  Powell  University.  Its  purpose  is  to 
give  those  students  wishing  to  enter  the  Law 
School,  and  who  do  not  possess  a  high  school 
sheepskin,  a  sound  knowledge  of  the  arts  and 
sciences,  including  the  dead  languages. 

In  a  recent  interview  with  Benjamin  R.  Powell, 
founder  and  Provost  of  the  Powell  University, 
he  stated  that  he  expected  great  ed-ucational  and 
moral  results. 

Special  stress  will  be  laid  on  spelling,  and  the 
Provost,  having  the  needs  of  the  young  men  at 
heart,  will  occupy  the  George  Tyler  Smith  Chair 
of  Spelling. 

The  head  of  this  great  institution  has  scoured 
the  four  corners  of  the  earth,  and  has  spared  no 
expense  in  securing  one  of  the  ablest  faculties. 

With  a  sly  wink  of  his  eye,  Provost  Powell 
hinted  that  he  might  be  able  to  give  the  "GazETTE" 
reporter  a  more  startling  announcement  in  the 
Fall. 

We  predict  a  very  brilliant  future  for  the  Pow- 
ell University,  and  will  not  hesitate  to  recommend 
it  to  all  young  men  in  thirst  of  knowledge.

Our  old  friend,  A.  "Mencken"  Widoff,  is  so- 
journing in  New  York  City,  whence  he  reports 
great  increment  to  his  wallet.  We  are  not  in- 
formed of  the  nature  of  his  lucrative  employment, 
but  we  presume  that  he  is  either  writing  the  edi- 
torials for  the  New  York  Times  or  the  want  ads 
for  the  Herald.    He'll  be  with  us  in  the  fall. 


Mr.  A.  B.  Haupt,  we  understand,  is  still  at 
Jessups.  

We  are  advised  by  the  New  York  authorities 
that  OUR  Mr.  A.  B.  Makover  is  also  in  New 
York  city.  His  address  is  1471  Vyse  avenue, 
Bronx.    Who  cares  ? 


Help  Larkins — take  the  sting  out  of  the  Skeet- 
ers — see  you  next  month. 

We  respectfully  call  the  attention  of  our  read- 
ers to  the  fact  that  one  of  the  Editors-in-Chief  of 
this  paper,  Mr.  Asportatis  Bonis  Makover,  occa- 
sionally has  a  "poem"  in  the  Good  Evening  col- 
umn of  the  Evening  Sun  of  this  city.  Like  horrors 
by  the  same  author  fitfully  appear  in  many  of 
the  leading  journals  of  this  country,  to-wit, — 
such  papers  as  "The  Punktown  Punch,"  "The 
Glueberg  Globe,"  and  "The  University  Ga- 
zette." Such  is  fame.  We  pass  on  with  the 
casual  remark,  "Good  Night!" 


NURSING. 

Miss  Carrie  H.  Hudnall,  class  of  1914,  Superin- 
tendent of  Nurses  of  St.  Joseph's  Tubercular 
Hospital,  South  Bend,  Ind.,  was  a  recent  visitor 
to  the  Hospital. 


In  addition  to  his  U.  of  M.  work,  we  under- 
stand that  our  genial  and  modest  colleague 
"Judge"  Gordon  cleaned  up  some  big  exams  at 
the  J.  H.  U.  before  returning  to  his  home  in  Old 
Virginia. 

We  predict  the  "Judge"  will  soon  take  his 
place  on  the  bench  and  root  for  Jack  Dunn's 
hired  men. 


Miss  Marjorie  B.  Sprecher,  class  of  1914,  night 
superintendent  of  nurses  of  the  Jefferson  Hos- 
pital, Roanoke,  Va.,  is  spending  the  month  at 
her  home  at  Sykesville,  Md. 


Miss  Alfretta  Myers,  class  of  1915,  has  been 
appointed  night  superintendent  of  nurses  of  the 
St.  Joseph's  Tubercular  Hospital,  South  Bend, 
Ind. 


Miss  Virginia  R.  Clendennin,  class  of  1914,  has 
resigned  her  position  at  Bellevue  Hospital,  New 
York  City. 


Miss  Marie  John,  class  of  1916,  was  operated 
on  at  the  Hospital  several  days  ago  and  is  on 
the  convalescent  list.

THE  POET  AND  HIS  SONG. 

"A  song  is  but  a  little  thing. 
And  yet  what  joy  it  is  to  sing ! 
In  hours  of  toil  it  gives  me  zest, 
And  when  at  eve  I  long  for  rest ; 
When   cows  come  home  along  the   bars, 

And  in  the  fold  I  hear  the  bell. 
As   Night,    the   shepherd,    herds  his   stars, 

I  sing  my  song  and  all  is  well. 

"There  are  no  ears  to  hear  my  lays, 
No  lips  to  lift  a  word  of  praise ; 
But  still,   with  faith  unfaltering, 
I  live  and  laugh  and  love  and  sing. 
AYhat  matters  yon  unheeding  throng? 

They  cannot  feel  my  spirit's  spell, 
Since  life   is  sweet   and   love  is   long, 

I  sing  my  song,  and  all  is  well. 

"Sometimes  the  sun,  unkindly  hot. 
My  garden  makes  a  desert  spot; 
Sometimes  a  blight  upon  the  tree 
Takes  all  my  fruit  away  from  me ; 
And  then  with  throes  of  bitter  pain 

Rebellious   passions   rise  and   swell; 
But — life   is   more   than   fruit   or   grain, 

And  so  I  sing,  and  all  is  well."

THE  FORWARD  MARCH  OF  THE  LAW 
SCHOOL. 


Samuel  Want,  LL.B. 


It  is  unpleasant  to  contemplate  that  in  dis- 
cussions and  reviews  of  the  educational  institu- 
tions of  Baltimore  the  Law  School  of  the  Uni- 
versity of  Maryland  is  either  not  considered  at 
all  or  is  merely  the  subject  of  insignificant  men- 
tion. Indeed,  the  trend  of  discussion  is  frequently 
to  the  effect  that  the  great  gap  in  the  educational 
activities  of  our  State  is  the  absence  of  a  law 
school  of  rank  approaching  that  of  her  other 
high  grade  institutions. 

While  there  are  faults  of  omission  and  com- 
mission_in  the  forward  march  of  the  Law  School, 
it  is  undeniable  that  the  institution  has  attained 
results  and  maintained  standards  which,  con- 
sidered in  the  light  of  the  financial  and  other  dif- 
ficulties under  which  the  School  has  labored,  mark 
it  as  a  highly  progressive  institution  and  as  a 
large  influence  in  the  education  of  the  citizens 
of  the  State. 

There  are  few  exceptions  to  the  statement  that 
for  a  period  of  at  least  twenty-five  years  the 
largest  factors  in  the  government  of  the  State 
and  in  the  improvement  of  its  laws  were  and  are 
graduates  of  the  Law  School,  and  much  of  their 
work  must  be  attributed  to  the  training  ^nd  in- 
fluences of  the  institution. 

Nothing  would  tend  more  to  give  the  school 
the  standing  it  has  justly  earned  and  the  greater 
support  it  imperatively  needs  than  activity  upon 
the  part  of  its  alumni  commensurate  with  the 
obligations  owed  by  all  of  us  to  the  institutions 
to  which  we  must  trace  our  professional  aspira- 
tions and  the  sources  of  their  realization.  A  large 
part  of  the  progress  of  nearly  all  large  institu- 
tions is  directly  traceable  to  the  activities  and 
contributions  of  their  alumni,  fostered  and  re- 
warded by  the  co-operative  interest  of  the  in- 
stitution benefited. 


Class  organizations  should  be  carried  on  with 
a  special  view  to  making  them  alumni  groups 
after  graduation.  They  should  have  the  active 
interest  and  support  of  the  Faculty.  Their  man- 
agement should  be  guided  and  their  conversion 
into  alumni  groups  fostered  by  the  authorities 
of  the  School.  The  principle  of  mutual  interests 
and  obligations  between  the  School  and  the  grad- 
uates should  be  a  rule  of  action  instilled  both 
before  and  after  graduation,  and  the  connection 
between  it  and  civic  duty  should  be  persistently 
advanced. 


THE  LOGIC  OF  WAR. 


Albin  Widoff,  '17. 


What  a  satire  everything  is,  and  the  world,  as 
Heine  somewhere  says,  nothing  but  an  infinite 
satire.  In  evidence  of  this  assertion  the  present 
war  is  exhibit  "A."  What  irony  it  is  to  see  jus- 
tification eat  justification  and  Red  Book  devour 
Yaller  Book;  to  hear  what's  right  and  what's 
wrong;  what  is  and  ain't.  Alas!  but  saddest  of 
all  to  read  the  retorts,  courteous  and  discourteous, 
of  our  Gazette  editors  trying  to  explain  the  war, 
its  causes,  results,  harm,  benefit,  etc. 

In  all  war-talk  the  philosophy  of  war  is,  it 
seems,  either  forgotten  or  unknown.  War,  how- 
ever, like  truth,  is  its  own  justification.  Like 
truth,  it  needs  no  interpretation  nor  explaining 
because  it  mirrors  and  explains  itself.  Neverthe- 
less, with  utmost  dogmatism,  I  shall  endeavor  to 
explain  the  logic  of  war. 

War  is  its  own  dialectics — the  dialectics  of 
might.  How  simple  war-logic  goes !  Might  is 
right.  With  such  a  formula,  'tis  folly  to  read 
Aristotle,  John  Stuart  Mill.  What  Omar  said 
of  wine  is  true  of  war: 


36 


THE  UNIVERSITY  GAZETTE 


"The  grape  that  can  with  logic  absolute 
The  two-and-seventy  jarring  sects  confute, 
The  subtle  alchemist  that  in  a  trice 
Life's  leaden  metal  into  gold  transmute." 

And  so  slavery  is  wrong  because  the  South 
lost  the  war.  I  know  a  gentleman  who  convinced 
another  that  his  face  looked  like  a  pup's,  and  that 
he  suffered  from  falling  hair.  The  argument  this 
gentleman  used  was  a  blow  to  the  jaw.  The 
argument  England,  Gennany,  et  al,  are  using  is 
just  the  same,  differing  only  in  degree. 

As  it  was  written  above,  war  justifies,  explains, 
hallows.  And  all  this  so  simply.  Might  is  right. 
It,  therefore,  is  folly  to  justify  the  destruction  of 
Belgium,  Lorain,  Rheims,  Lusitania.  If  Germany 
wins,  these  will  be  justified,  explained  and  hal- 
lowed. It  also  is  unwise  to  justify  the  starving 
of  non-combatants,  the  betrayal  of  the  Belgians. 
If  the  Allies  win,  all  will  be  well. 

Let  the  editors  of  the  Gazette  beware — in  war- 
talk  there  is  no  right  and  wrong.  It  is  only  might 
that  is  right,  and  weakness  that  is  wrong.  Vae 
victus !  War  is  the  setting  aside  of  moral  values 
and  the  instituting  of  immoral  ones ;  that  is,  nat- 
ural ones.    Peace,  then,  is  moral  and  unnatural. 

To  conclude :  What  is  a  good  war,  which  a  bad  ? 
Zarathustra  spoke  thus:  "Ye  say  a  good  cause 
will  hallow  even  war?  I  say  unto  you,  a  good 
war  halloweth  every  cause." 


STIRRING  TIMES  AT  ALMA  MATER. 


Adapted  from  "A  Historical  Sketch  of  the  Uni- 
versity of  Maryland"  by  the  late 
Dr.  E.  F.  Cordell. 


In  December,  1838,  a  professor  in  the  Univer- 
sity of  Maryland  (Professor  Potter)  made  the 
observation  that  some  of  the  students,  instead  of 
proceeding  after  one  lecture  to  the  room  of  the 
next  lecturer,  were  in  the  habit  of  going  to  the 
apartments  of  the  janitor.  His  suspicions  were 
aroused  and  he  determined  to  investigate.  Ac- 
cordingly, one  day  he  unexpectedly  entered  the 


janitor's  room  and  found  several  students  en- 
gaged in  gambling  and  drinking,  or  to  use  his 
own  language,  "regaling  themselves  with  spirit 
and  cards."  .... 

The  Committee  of  Trustees  passed  a  regulation 
forbidding  the  janitor  in  future  "to  sell  liquors  of 
any  kind,  fruits,  nuts,  cigars  or  tobacco,  or  to 
permit  the  students  to  play  at  cards  or  any  other 
game  in  his  house  for  money  or  any  other  thing." 

War  was  then  formally  declared  by  the  janitor 
against  Prof.  Potter,  the  former  threatening  per- 
sonal violence.  In  a  contest  of  Potter  vs.  Janitor 
there  could  not  be  any  doubt  as  to  the  result. 
The  Professor's  friends  among  the  students  could 
hardly  be  restrained  from  "sacrificing"  the  liquor- 
dealing  janitor.  Though  Professor  Potter  had  to 
go  armed  for  the  remainder  of  the  session  he  was 
not  subjected  to  the  violence  he  had  prepared  to 
resist.

"Editorially  Replied''  does  not  touch  the  car- 
dinal thought  that  war  is  at  all  times  a  curse  nor 
does  he  offer  substantial  rebuttal  to  the  argu- 
ment that  the  Teutonic  allies  are  responsible  for 
the  present  great  conflict. 

We  append  the  thought  of  the  present  day 
civilization  concerning  war  as  expressed  by  great 
men  in  describing  it : 

War  is  cruelty ;  you  cannot  define  it. — General 
Sherman. 

A  good  man  never  makes  a  good  soldier.  The 
worst  man  always  makes  the  best  soldier.  The 
soldier  is  nothing  but  a  hired,  legalized  mur- 
derer.— Napoleon. 


The  College  Man   Sets 
the  Styles! 

Uphold  your  reputation  by  wearing  suits 
made  the  "Matched  Pattern"  way,  themoit 
important  clothing  Invention  of  the  decade ! 

Thete  suits  are  sold  exclusively  by 

THE  QUALITY  SHOP 

Balto.  and  Liberty  Sts. 


The  military  profession  is  a  damnable  pro- 
fession.— Washington. 

O,  war,  thou  son  of  hell ! — Shakespeare. 

War  is  a  brain  spattering,  windpipe  slitting 
art. — Bacon. 

War  is  the  devil's  gambling  box. — Fox. 

There  never  was  a  good  war  nor  a  bad  peace. — 
Franklin. 

War  never  decided  any  question  of  right  or 
wrong. — Jefferson. 

War  loves  to  seek  its  victims  in  the  young. — 
Sophocles. 

Napoleon  was  a  great  gambler,  whose  game 
was  empires,  whose  stakes  were  thrones,  whose 
table  the  earth,  whose  dice  were  human  bones. — 
Byron. 

War  is  the  statesman's  game,  the  lawyer's  jest, 
the  hired  assassin's  trade. — Shelley. 

My  greatest  regret  is  that  I  have  been  the 
author  of  three  wars  in  which  thousands  of  lives 
were  lost. — Bismarck. 

Peace  is  the  virtue,  war  the  crime  of  civiliza- 
tion.— Hugo. 

A  great  war  leaves  the  country  with  three 
armies — an  army  of  cripples,  an  army  of  mourn- 
ers and  an  army  of  thieves. — German  Proverb. 

Take  not  up  the  sword.  They  that  take  up 
the  sword  shall  perish  by  the  sword. — Jesus. 

They  shall  beat  their  swords  into  plowshares 
and  their  spears  into  pruning  hooks.  Nation  shall 
not  rise  against  nation,  nor  shall  men  learn  war 
any  more. — Isaiah.

THE  UNIVERSITY  GAZETTE 


WHY  HAVE  WE  NO  STUDENT  POST- 
OFFICE? 


At  nearly  every  university  of  importance  hav- 
ing a  student  registration  of  five  hundred  or 
more,  there  is  provided  a  University  Postoffice 
for  the  use  and  convenience  of  students.  The 
maintenance  of  such  a  system  costs  but  little  and 
the  benefits  derived  therefrom  are  great  and 
many.  The  Postoffice  has  been  established  by 
university  authorities  chiefly  upon  the  theories 
(1)  that  as  a  matter  of  convenience  it  is  a  prac- 
tical aid  to  the  student,  while  resident,  in  the 
management  of  his  affairs;  and  (2)  that  it  serves 
as  a  means  of  fostering  a  spirit  of  unity  and 
central  organization,  a  means  of  keeping  intact 
the  esprit  de  corps. 

The  university,  to  be  a  valuable  institution, 
must  in  a  peculiar  sense  be  a  home  to  its  mem- 
bers both  in  faculty  and  undergraduate  circles. 
"Alma  Mater"  should  be  the  guiding  spirit  that 
tends  the  entire  organization.  The  student  body, 
particularly,  is  at  home  in  college  precincts,  for  it 
it  a  homogeneous  gathering. 

As  a  practical  matter  the  solution  to  the  post- 
office  problem  at  the  University  of  Maryland  is  a 
cheerfully  easy  one.  The  installation  of  a  stu- 
dent postoffice  box  system  would  add  but  little  to 
the  cost  of  maintaining  the  institution.  The 
duties  of  the  librarians  are  not  so  exacting  and 
their  tasks  so  burdensome  that  the  added  trust  of 
placing  several  hundred  letters  a  day  into  num- 
bered boxes  would  amount  to  an  imposition.  No 
extra  employees  are  needed  for  this  purpose. 
One  hundred  dollars  would  be  more  than  suffi- 
cient to  build  enough  boxes  in  the  library,  where 
there  is  plenty  of  room,  to  accommodate  us.  Stu- 
dents desiring  boxes  would  be  willing  to  pay  an 
annual  fee  of  twenty-five  cents   for  the  privilege. 

The  manner  in  which  mail  addressed  to  stu- 
dents at  the  University  is  handled  at  present  is 
poor.  The  letters  are  thrown  into  a  wooden 
box  in  Davidge  Hall  without  being  sorted  al- 
phabetically. Think  of  it!  Besides  the  indignity 
of  a  proper  resting  place  it  lacks  also  the  index 
expnrgatorius!  One  must  search  through  a  mess 
of  jumbled  paper  to   discover  his  mail.     Many 


students  are  unaware  that  there  is  even  such  a 
place  where  mail  is  received,  and  we  have  seen 
the  same  letters  in  the  box  for  six  or  seven 
months. 

We  believe  that  our  Faculty  is  not  aware  of 
the  crying  need  of  a  practical  system  for  receiv- 
ing student  mail.  We  feel  confident  that  it  will 
remedy  the  present  condition  when  properly 
brought  to  its  notice.  The  Faculty  has  always 
been  anxious  to  improve  when  the  need  of  im- 
provements has  been  brought  to  its  attention;  it 
is  up-to-the-minute  in  this  respect. 

We  respectfully  suggest  that  the  most  oppor- 
tune time  to  establish  a  postoffice  is  during  the 
weeks  that  intervene  before  the  opening  of  our 
regular  session.

A  POST-GRADUATE  COURSE  IN  LAW. 


The  question  of  the  advisability  of  establishing 
a  post-graduate  course  in  law  again  brings  to  the 
surface  a  most  important  problem.  Few  will 
deny  that  our  law  course  is  too  limited  to  the 
practical  side  of  the  subject.  A  glance  at  the 
curriculum  impresses  one  with  the  idea  that  the 
purpose  is  to  prepare  students  more  for  the 
business  of  law  rather  than  to  develop  lawyers 
conscious  of  the  history  and  ideals  of  their  pro- 
fession. 

It  is  true,  to  the  lasting  credit  of  our  instruc- 
tors, let  it  be  said,  that  they  continue  to  do  all 
in  their  power  to  mold  our  minds  for  an  ideal 
professional  life.  But  we  believe  that  their  ob- 
ject, however  laudable  and  valiantly  striven  for, 
is  impossible  of  perfect  accomplishment  without 
specific  courses  in  the  History  of  the  Law,  Legal 
Biography  and  Politics  (including  the  Theory  of 
Taxation).  There  is  also  great  demand  for  treat- 
ment of  Public  Service  Commission  Law  and 
Anti-Trust  Law.  Among  those  who  favor  a 
post-graduate  course  there  is  a  strong  belief  that 
the  common  law  should  receive  more  attention ; 
perhaps  by  readings  in  Blackstone  and  Kent. 
Our  opinion  is  that  our  schedule  of  lectures  could 
be  so  systematized  that  such  courses  could  be 
given  in  the  regular  undergraduate  sessions.     If, 


THE  UNIVERSITY  GAZETTE 


39 


however,  the  Faculty  maintains  that  this  is  im- 
possible then  we  believe  that  a  post-graduate 
course  is  sorely  needed. 

It  is  further  true  that  we  may  go  to  the  Johns 
Hopkins  University  for  certain  courses  at  small 
expense.  This  privilege,  valuable  as  it  is,  cannot 
be  taken  advantage  of  by  most  students  because 
they  must  work  during  the  hours  these  courses 
are  given. 

We  are  informed  (not  authoritatively,  how- 
ever) that  the  main  objection  on  the  part  of  the 
Faculty  is  that  there  is  not  strong  enough  de- 
mand for  post-graduate  work  to  warrant  the 
establishment  of  new  courses.  Perhaps  this  is 
true,  but  there  is  an  easy  way  to  ascertain  whether 
it  is  or  not.  We  must  not  forget,  besides,  that 
many  lawyers  in  their  first  years  of  practice 
would  warmly  welcome  further  opportunity  for 
systematic  study. 

The  GazUTTE  is  anxious  to  hear  from  students, 
alumni  and  members  of  the  Faculty  interested 
in  this  question.  In  the  meantime  we  need  have 
no  fear  that  the  proposal  will  not  receive  the 
proper  attention  and  consideration  of  our  Faculty.

We  were  fortunate  enough,  some  weeks  ago, 
to  pass  Ilgenfritz's  Studio  on  N.  Charles  street, 
where  the  magnetic  influence  of  one  of  the  pic- 
tures drew  our  attention  to  the  display  cabinet. 
We  were  not  one  bit  startled  to  recognize  the 
Honorable  M.  T.  Donoho's  likeness  completely 
surrounded  by  a  bevy  of  girls  in  the  costumes  of 
nurses,  and  very  pretty  we  recognized  them  to

Mr.  F.  A.  Michaels  read  three  books  which  in- 
duced him  to  change  his  residence.  The  first 
was  Milton's  "Paradise  Lost;"  the  second,  "Para- 
dise Regained"  by  the  same  author;  the  third,

One  of  our  Editors-in-Chief,  A.B.M.,  in  boost- 
ing the  paper  to  a  prospective  subscriber  and  pos- 
sible advertiser  gravely  said :  "Now,  a  further 
indication  that  the  Gazette  is  a  high-class  paper 
is  that  we  have  never  published  a  joke  about  the 
Ford  automobile." 


But,  depend  upon  it,  the  Ford  is  a  rattling,

ALTRUISM. 

A  triune  faith  is  this,  including  faith 

In  God,  as  "ransom,  bliss  and  panoply," 

A  faith  in  self,  not  egotistical 

Belief  that  overestimates,  nor  yet 

A  sham  humility  that  culminates 

In  proud  disparagement  of  self,  but  faith 

Profound  that  being  factor  in  Life's  strange 

Equation  I  must  count,  the  minus  sign 

Or  plus  determined  less  by  where  I  stand 

Than  how  I  fill  the  place.     Essential  too 

Is  faith  in  every  man's  capacity 

For  God ;  a  faith  which  sees  the  heads  of  gold 

Above  the  feet  of  clay,  discerns  beneath 

Dissimulated  satisfaction  with 

The  husks,  consuming  hunger  of  the  soul ; 

This  trinity  of  faith  stands  straight  and  strong. 

Unmoved  by  seeming  victories  of  wrong 

Expectant  always  that  humanity 

Shall  reach  the  final  Good,  and  to  that  end 

Pursues  its  work  of  uplift  which  includes 

The  masses  and  the  individual.

GREETINGS. 


I  gladly  avail  myself  of  the  opportunity  offered 
by  the  Editor  of  The  University  Gazette  to 
extend  the  greetings  of  the  Faculty  of  Law  to  the 
students  of  the  Law  Department  of  the  University 
of  Maryland  at  the  opening  of  this,  the  Forty- 
sixth  annual  session,  and  especially  to  those  who 
are  entering  the  halls  of  this  old  University  for  the 
first  time.  The  Faculty  wishes  that  every  young 
man  of  good  character  and  serious  purpose  who 
earnestly  desires  to  qualify  himself  for  the  prac- 
tice of  the  law  shall  feel  that  his  presence  here  is 
welcome  and  that  it  will  be  the  aim  of  each  and 
every  one  of  the  members  of  the  Faculty  to  aid 
towards  the  fullest  accomplishment  of  this  pur- 
pose so  that  he  may,  not  only  be  fitted  to  render 
useful  service  to  his  clients  when  called  to  the  bar, 
but  may  gain  an  honorable  place  in  the  ranks  of 
a  profession  which  demands  the  best  that  any 
man  can  give  and  which  has  always  included 
among  its  members  leaders  in  the  life  and  growth 
of  every  community. 

To  this  end  our  time  and  such  knowledge  and 
experience  as  we  have  gained  are  at  the  com- 
mand of  our  students. 

The  greatest  pleasure  that  can  come  to  a  teacher 
is  derived  from  the  satisfaction  which  comes  from 
helping  those  who  come  to  him  for  help  and  from 
the  friendships  which  he  forms  with  successive 
generations  of  fresh  and  vigorous  minds  and 
generous  and  noble  spirits.  And  so  we  wish  that 
our  new  students  shall  make  us  their  friends, 
shall  allow  us  to  know  them,  shall  come  to  us 
with  their  difficulties,  shall  avail  themselves  of 
whatever  we  can  give  and  shall  establish  with  us 
relations  of  trust  and  confidence  that  shall  be 
based  upon  mutual  respect  and  regard.  It  is  in 
this  spirit  that  we  bid  you  welcome  and  in  which 
we  express  the  hope  that  your  stay  here  may  bring 
you  a  large  measure  of  pleasure  and  benefit. 

The  Faculty  oe  Law. 


It  would  be  a  happier  and  perhaps  better  ap- 
preciated thing  to  write  the  usual  note  of  wel- 
come and  felicitation,  but  I  feel  impelled  to  write 
in  a  very  different  spirit  to  the  men  in  the  Medical 
Department  who  are  about  to  begin  the  work  of 
another  session. 

It  is  true  that  it  would  be  no  difficult  matter  to 
write  in  a  spirit  of  congratulation  and  hope. 
Much  has  happened  that  augurs  well  for  the  medi- 
cal school  and  the  University. 

A  successful  merger  with  the  College  of  Phy- 
sicians and  Surgeons  has  been  Accomplished^ 
This  gives  the  merged  school  the  clinical  facili- 
ties in  three  large  general  hospitals,  and  many 
special  hospitals  are  affiliated  with  the  medical 
department. 

The  merger  has  doubled  the  laboratory  facili- 
ties of  the  combined  schools  so  that  there  is  ample 
room,  abundant  equipment,  and  many  trained  and 
able  teachers  devoting  either  full  time  or  part 
time  to  the  laboratory  branches. 

The  University  has  become  a  part  of  the  State 
University  and  no  advance  in  recent  times  is  more 
full  of  promise  for  the  school  than  this. 

A  most  excellent  record  has  been  made  before 
the  State  Boards  this  year,  and  this  is  a  matter 
for  congratulation. 

The  hospitals  and  dispensaries  have  been  put 
into  excellent  physical  condition. 

The  merger  has  added  many  able  and  dis- 
tinguished men  to  the  teaching  staff,  and  alto- 
gether we  are  justified  in  looking  forward  with 
courage  and  hope. 

But  there  is  a  matter  about  which  I  feel  con- 
strained to  write  very  seriously. 

At  the  end  of  the  last  session  twenty-seven  men 
failed  to  graduate.  When  the  records  of  the  men 
in  the  school  were  gone  over  carefully  it  was  seen 
that  a  very  large  percentage  of  the  men  in  each 
class  are  conditioned  in  one  or  more  subjects,  and 
many  men  are  so  seriously  handicapped  thereby 
that  they  will  be  compelled  either  to  repeat  a  year 


52 


THE  UNIVERSITY  GAZETTE 


or  leave  the  school.  Already  a  number  of  men 
have  been  notified  that  they  will  not  be  allowed 
to  again  enter  the  school. 

The  Medical  School  is  determined  to  maintain 
a  high  standard,  both  as  to  entrance  requirements 
and  as  to  the  kind  of  work  done  by  the  student 
body. 

The  study  of  medicine  is  a  serious  undertaking 
and  there  is  no  place  in  a  good  medical  school  for 
lazy  men  or  triflers.  A  medical  student's  life  is 
so  full  of  work  that  he  has  neither  the  time  nor 
strength  to  worship  at  the  shrine  of  either  Bacchus 
or  Venus.  The  time  is  past  when  a  man  can 
dawdle  through  half  the  session  and  then  by 
buckling  down  to  work  get  a  clear  record  for  the 
year.     It  can't  be  done. 

I  have  seen  so  much  of  bitter  disappointment, 
and  vain  regret  within  the  last  four  months,  and 
it  has  been  my  most  unpleasant  duty  to  talk  to  so 
many  men  who  have  wasted  their  chance  that  I 
feel  very  strongly  in  this  matter,  and  I  wish  I 
could  say  something  that  could  influence  every 
man  in  the  school  to  look  upon  his  work  as  a 
high  and  mighty  task  toward  the  accomplish- 
ment of  which  he  must  resolutely  set  his  face 
forward. 

The  Faculty  of  Physic. 


In  the  broader  spirit  of  helpfulness,  the  true 
University  spirit,  now  pervading  The  University 
Gazette,  the  Faculty  of  Pharmacy  extends  its 
cordial  greetings  to  the  entire  student  body,  espec- 
ially to  the  Freshmen  of  all  departments. 

To  the  students  of  pharmacy,  both  old  and  new, 
is  offered  a  hearty  welcome  and  the  assurance 
that  every  possible  opportunity  will  be  given  them 
to  secure  as  much  of  the  special  information  re- 
quired to  fit  them  for  their  life  work,  as  they  will 
be  able  to  absorb.  More  and  more  it  is  realized 
that  the  relationship  of  student  and  instructor 
should  be  of  a  particularly  close  and  confidential 
nature.  It  is  therefore  earnestly  hoped  that  the 
students  of  this  department  will  always  feel  at  lib- 
erty to  come  to  any  member  of  the  Faculty  of 
Pharmacy  for  help  or  advice  regarding  special 
or  general  subjects. 

The  growing  closer  relationship  of  the  various 
professions,  based  upon  the  standardization  of 
scientific  attainment,  rather  than  upon  ancient 
prestige  makes  it  possible  for  the  students  of  the 


University  to  more  generally  consult  the  facul- 
ties of  other  departments,  than  those  with  which 
they  may  be  directly  connected.  If  this  should 
be  desirable  the  Faculty  of  Pharmacy  freely  offers 
sympathetic  and  earnest  co-operation. 

Visits  by  all  students  of  the  University  to  the 
Dean's  office  and  Pharmaceutical  Laboratory  are 
cordially  invited. 

The  Faculty  of  Pharmacy. 


PYORRHEA  ALVEOLARIS,  OR  RIGGS' 
DISEASE. 


D.  B.  Lancaster,  A.  B.,  Dental  '16 


The  attention  of  dentists,  physicians  and  the 
public  has  of  late  been  sharply  drawn  to  the  here- 
tofore unsuspected  prevalence,  curability,  and 
preventability  of  Pyorrhea,  or  Riggs'  Disease. 
It  has  been  found  present  in  about  95  per  cent  of 
all  cases  examined.  More  than  half  of  all  adult 
teeth  are  lost  through  this  disease.  To  the  great 
many  who  are  unacquainted  with  the  disease  this 
may  seem  surprising,  yet  the  too  little  respect  paid 
to  oral  hygiene  and  the  procrastinated  visits  to  the 
family  dentist  make  this  perfectly  credible.  Too 
many  sufferers  today  have  neglected  their 
mouths,  or,  perhaps,  have  been  ignorant  of  the 
importance  of  the  motto  "clean  teeth  never  decay 
and  good  teeth  mean  good  health."  Only  a  very 
few  besides  those  in  the  dental  profession  are 
aware  of  the  systemic  derangements  resulting 
from  bad  teeth  and  oral  diseases.  It  is  pitiable 
that  so  few  are  familiar  with  this  disease  and  able 
to  realize  their  own  possession  of  it  before  long 
development  has  made  the  case  a  distressing 
condition. 

But  the  cause  of  the  disease  is  not  neglect  on 
the  part  of  the  patient  alone,  for  the  disease  occurs 
and  often  persists  in  mouths  of  patients  who  are 
scrupulously  clean  concerning  the  toilet  of  the 
mouth.  The  cause  in  many  cases  can  be  traced 
to  neglect  on  the  part  of  the  family  dentist,  who 
either  failed  to  recognize  and  correct  the  disease 
in  its  incipiency,  or,  recognizing  it,  informed  the 
patient  that  nothing  could  be  done  and  advised 
letting  it  go.  It  is  pitiable  that  so  many  teeth 
have  been  lost  in  the  past  because  of  the  seeming 
indifference  of  dentists ;  but  the  wave  of  prophy- 


THE  UNIVERSITY  GAZETTE 


53 


laxis  which  is  floating  over  the  profession  today 
is  an  encouraging  sign  that  individual  dentists 
are  either  equipping  themselves  to  combat  the 
disease  or  are  referring  the  patients  thus  afflicted 
to  dentists  who  are  so  equipped. 

Pyorrhea  Alveolaris  is  a  purulent  inflammation 
of  the  dental  periosteum,  with  progressive 
necrosis  of  the  alveoli  and  loosening  of  the  teeth. 
Investigators  have  recently  found  that  the  disease 
is  due  to  the  Germ  Family,  the  luxurists  on  our 
twenty  to  thirty  inches  of  tooth  surface;  also 
between  and  under  the  teeth,  or  in  crypts  and 
pockets  about  their  roots.  The  name  of  the  princi- 
pal miscreant  is  entamoeba  buccalis,  a  microscopi- 
cal jelly-like  animal  which  can  be  demonstrated  in 
almost  every  mouth  and  gets  his  living  by  thrust- 
ing out  fingers  (pseudopods)  from  various  parts 
of  his  anatomy,  in  search  of  food,  or  to  assist  him 
in  migration.  These  protozoa  have  been  known 
for  more  than  fifty  years  to  inhabit  the  mouth, 
but  were  first  recognized  as  a  cause  of  pyorrhea 
by  Doctors  M.  F.  Barrett  and  A.  J.  Smith  during 
1914. 

The  entamoeba  gains  an  entrance  beneath  the 
red  ramparts  of  the  gums  through  abrasions  or 
wounds,  the  healing  of  which  is  prevented  by 
particles  of  food  forced  between  the  teeth.  Again, 
the  disease  may  enter  through  inflammation 
around  the  roots  of  the  teeth,  excited  by  ill  fitting 
crowns,  overhanging  margins  of  improperly  con- 
structed fillings,  or  through  malocclusion  of  the 
teeth,  or  through  hard  and  rough  substances  called 
calculi  deposited  from  the  saliva  or  blood  serum, 
these  being  almost  invariably  present  in  pyorrhea 
and  receding  gums.  Once  within  the  ramparts, 
the  amoebas  begin  the  attack  upon  the  membrane 
lining  the  tooth  socket  by  digging  microscopic 
trenches  and  spreading  infection,  furnishing  soon 
a  favorable  ground  for  reinforcements  in  the  form 
of  pus-producing  germs.  At  the  tooth  sockets 
little  sacs  of  pus  form  and  slowly  discharge  from 
between  the  gums  and  necks  of  the  teeth.  The 
teeth  become  tender  and  the  gums  bleed  easily. 
The  former  begin  to  decay  and  for  years  the 
patient  goes  on  swallowing  the  pus  and  amoebas, 
which  is  responsible  for  many  forms  of  rheuma- 
tism, neuralgia,  anaemia,  etc.  It  has  been  clearly 
demonstrated  that  at  least  certain  kinds  of  pyor- 
rhea are  closely  associated  with,  if  not  caused  by, 
such  general  diseases  and  conditions  as  syphilis. 


tuberculosis,  actinomycosis,  diabetes,  gout,  rheu- 
matism, osteomelitis,  salivation,  phosphor  poison- 
ing, and  faulty  metabolism  in  general.  Ulti- 
mately the  suppurative  process  entirely  destroys 
the  attachments  of  the  teeth.  They  fall  out,  or 
else  become  so  loosened  that  they  can  be  plucked 
out  with  the  fingers. 

A  cure  has  been  somewhat  recently  discovered. 
It  consists  of  the  use  of  Ipecac  or  some  of  its  con- 
stituents, as  emetine  hydrochlorid,  either  locally 
in  the  mouth  or  by  hypodermic  injections,  together 
with  a  proper  surgical  and  mechanical  treatment. 
A  few  weeks  ago  Wright  and  White  of  the  navy 
reported  complete  and  remarkably  quick  cures  in 
twenty-eight  cases  of  pyorrhea  by  the  intramus- 
cular injection  of  mercuric  succinimid.  There 
is  quite  a  great  deal  of  difference  of  opinion  to- 
day as  to  the  method  of  treatment  that  should  be 
employed  and  as  to  whether  pyorrhea  is  due  to 
endamoebic  or  bacterial  infection.  Dr.  Barton 
K.  Wright  states  that  the  disease  is  not  due  to 
one  organism  but  to  a  multiplicity  of  organisms. 
He  is  in  favor  of  the  mercury  treatment,  an  agent 
which  is  parasitotropic  to  all  vegetable  parasites. 
Mercury,  as  he  states,  also  has  the  power  of  in- 
citing in  the  presence  of  vegetable  antigen  the 
rapid  production  of  a  specific  antibody.  The 
treatment  is  simple  and  the  dose  differs  with  the 
sex.  In  males  deep  muscular  injections  of  mer- 
curic succinimid  gr.  1  should  be  given  every  seven 
days,  until  the  pus  disappears  and  the  gums  be- 
come normal.  In  females,  the  dose  should  be 
from  gr.  1/5  to  gr.  2/.5  less  than  that  of  males. 

As  a  final  word,  in  the  prevention  and  cure  of 
pyorrhea,  bad  teeth,  and  other  diseases,  oral 
and  systemic,  one  should  faithfully  devote  him- 
self morning  and  night,  with  a  good  wash  and 
paste,  to  the  duty  of  oral  hygiene.  Take  care 
lest  you  have  pyorrhea;  perhaps  you  now  have 
it.  Remember  thsX"clean  teeth  never  decay  and 
good  teeth  mean  good  liealth."

EDITORIALLY  EXPRESSED. 


The  beginning  of  another  school  year  offers 
opportunities  for  improvements  along  all  branches 
of  work.  To  live  is  to  change — to  break  down 
and  repair.  Progress  is  merely  improvement  in 
the  new  over  the  old  and  as  our  school  lives  and 
moves  on  its  object  should  be  to  perpetuate  its 
better  elements  by  more  thorough  enforcements, 
to  prune  out  the  objectionable  features  that  the 
operations  for  efficiency  may  not  be  hampered. 
Any  thing  that  is  worth  doing  is  worth  doing  well 
and  we  will  be  patronized  and  favored  in  propor- 
tion to  the  value  of  our  product.  The  task  is  be- 
fore us  and  we  are  all  laborers.  To  the  work 
with  spirit. 


The  College  Man    Sets 
the  Styles! 

Uphold  your  reputation  by  wearing  suits

Young  man,  your  beginning  is  more  vital  than 
your  commencement,  hence  it  should  give  you 
more  concern.  You  who  work  from  day  to  day 
to  meet  requirements,  to  discharge  your  duty,  to 
qualify  yourself  for  life's  work,  need  have  little 
fear  of  final  examinations,  graduation,  and  state 
boards.  Nothing  short  of  natural  inability  can 
cause  failure.  Your  future  is  in  your  own  keep- 
ing ;  you  can  or  you  will  not  as  you  elect.  If  you 
fail  do  not  blame  fate  or  your  instructor  but  pay 
the  price  for  neglect  and  be  a  man  in  suffering 
the  penalty.  As  for  your  instructor,  the  one  you 
will  respect  most  is  the  one  who  is  kindly  exact- 
ing to  the  least  detail  and  who  after  severely  driv- 
ing you  for  the  school  year  rejoices  with  you  at 
your  successes. 


Again  we  have  been  favored  with  an  article 
from  the  pen  of  a  student.  We  are  looking  for 
such  articles  written  expressly  for  The  Gazette. 
We  wish  more  young  men  would  avail  themselves 
of  such  an  opportunity  to  bring  themselves  before 
the  public,  to  develop  their  powers  and  incident- 
ally to  give  us  the  benefit  of  their  impressions  and 
experiences.  We  want  articles  written  expressly 
for  The  Gazette  that  the  paper's  individuality 
may  be  emphasized.  We  might  suggest  that 
articles  pertaining  to  questions  in  our  profession 
are  preferred  but  as  specialists  we  must  face 
questions  of  general  interest  and  should  any  one 
desire  to  contribute  aside  from  professional  sub- 
jects we  would  be  glad  to  give  space.

school  of  any  importance  in  the  country  carries 
the  same  feature.  The  main  object  is  to  create 
and  perpetuate  a  stronger  bond  of  union  among 
the  classmen  and  to  advertise  the  institution. 
From  all  reports  the  Terra  Mariae  has  not  been 
fulfilling  these  objects.  Last  year  there  was  no 
end  of  embarrassment  caused  by  the  manner  in 
which  the  annual  was  managed,  and  many  of  the 
personals  were  of  such  a  character  that  a  self- 
respecting  man  would  feel  resentment  at  the 
allusions  contained.  In  the  first  case  our  adver- 
tisement was  negative  and  in  the  second  the  spirit 
of  good  will  was  jeopardized  by  references  of 
personal  nature  reflecting  on  individual  peculiar- 
ities or  deficiencies.  Let's  have  a  Terra  Mariae, 
but  let's  have  the  right  kind.  If  it  comes  to  the 
point  where  the  step  is  deemed  advisable  a  faculty 
supervising  committee  should  be  appointed  to 
direct  the  work  and  see  that  the  work  is  carried  on 
to  the  credit  of  the  institution. 


A  DR.  DAVID  STREETT  SCHOLARSHIP. 


When  one  dies  who  has  accomplished  much,  it 
is  right  and  proper  that  his  memory  be  ever  kept 
alive  by  a  suitable  memorial,  so  that  those  who 
come  after  him  may  profit  by  being  imbued  with 
the  aspirations  of  the  deceased.  Doctor  David 
Streett  was  a  man  who  accomplished  much  not 
only  for  the  medical  profession,  but  by  his  con- 
stant efforts,  the  elevation  of  medical  educational 
standards.  He  took  hold  of  the  helm  of  the  Balti- 
more Medical  College  when  it  was  in  its  infancy 
and  by  his  energy,  indefatigable  industry  and  self 
sacrifice  builded  a  school  of  which  its  alumni  can 
feel  justly  proud.  During  the  twenty-five  years 
which  Dr.  Streett  occupied  the  deanship  of  the 
Baltimore  Medical  College  it  was  his  privilege  to 
be  thrown  into  contact  with  many  students  from 
the  New  England  States.  In  no  section  of  the 
country  will  Dr.  Streett 's  untimely  death  be  more 
deplored  than  in  New  England.  The  alumni  of 
this  section  through  intimate  contact  with  their 
dean  came  to  love  him  dearly.  In  every  way  pos- 
sible he  showed  them  that  he  was  always  person- 
ally concerned  with  their  comfort  and  welfare. 
His  many  little  gracious  acts  will  be  forever 
treasured  as  priceless  keepsakes  of  their  college 
days. 


The  University  feeling  that  these  men  would 
like  in  some  concrete  and  permanent  manner  to 
outwardly  exhibit  their  appreciation  of  the  kind- 
nesses extended  them  during  their  college  days  by 
Dr.  Streett  offers  the  suggestion  that  our  New 
England  alumni  establish  a  David  Streett  Scholar- 
ship for  New  Englanders.  In  no  better  manner 
could  permancy  be  given  to  a  gift.  Three  thous- 
and dollars  would  be  sufficient  for  the  purpose  and 
as  there  are  more  than  five  hundred  graduates  in 
New  England,  no  great  burden  would  fall  upon 
the  shoulders  of  any  one  man.  Already  Dr. 
Streett  has  been  surfeited  with  eulogies  and  words 
of  commendation  ;  unfortunately  fulsome  praise  is 
good  for  the  ears,  but  soon  forgotten  The  scholar- 
ship would  give  a  concrete  method  for  you  mani- 
festing your  love  and  affection.  You  were  strang- 
ers and  he  took  you  in.  In  your  hours  of  trial 
and  tribulation  he  comforted  you.  He  guided 
you  through  the  maze  of  medical  reefs  and 
brought  you  safely  into  port.  Though  first 
teacher  and  dean,  withal  he  was  no  less  your 
friend.  Therefore  let  us  not  sing  Dr.  Streett's 
praises  in  words  alone,  but  also  in  a  concrete 
form,  namely  a  scholarship. 


EDITORIALETS. 


Caleb  Winslow,  A.M.  has  been  appointed  Reg- 
istrar of  the  Medical  Department  of  the  Univer- 
sity of  Maryland.  He  is  a  son  of  Prof.  Randolph 
Winslow,  and  is  an  A.  B.  and  A.  M.  of  Haver- 
ford  College,  Pa.  He  has  been  engaged  in  teach- 
ing at  the  Jefferson  School  for  Boys  for  the  past 
three  years.  We  believe  he  is  exceedingly  well 
equipped  for  the  position  to  which  he  has  been 
appointed. 


There  is  a  very  laudable  movement  on  foot  to 
endow  a  chair  or  scholarship  to  be  named  the 
David  Streett  Scholarship,  in  honor  of  David 
Streett,  formerly  dean  of  the  Baltimore  Medical 
College  and  since  the  merger  of  the  two  schools 
and  until  his  demise  Professor  of  the  Principles 
and  Practice  of  Medicine.  It  is  our  hope  that  all 
the  friends  of  the  above  named  will  come  forward 
and  do  him  honor  by  contributing.

THE  UNIVERSITY  GAZETTE 


During  the  last  five  years  there  have  been  num- 
erous improvements  to  such  an  extent  that  the 
former  graduates  who  have  not  visited  the  Hos- 
pital in  that  time  will  be  agreeably  surprised. 
Still  lately  there  have  been  many  changes  and 
renovations,  the  former  site  of  the  University 
Hospital  laundry  being  replaced  with  space  for 
clinical  teaching  in  addition  to  present  dispen- 
sary. For  launday  purposes  there  has  been 
errected  a  new  building.  The  Maternity  Ward 
and  Wards  "K  and  E"  have  come  in  for  extensive 
renovations. 


SLAMS  AND  SALUTES. 


ANNOUNCEMENTS. 


The  Gazette  desires  to  publicly  thank  the  Fac- 
ulty of  Physic  for  its  kindness  in  permitting  the 
use  of  space  in  Davidge  Hall  for  the  Editors' 
Office  of  The  University  G.\zette.  We  wish 
also  to  express  our  thanks  to  Acting  Dean  Shipley 
for  the  personal  interest  taken  in  directing  the 
attention  of  the  Faculty  to  our  request  for  quart- 
ers in  the  University. 

The  G.-\zette  will  continue  to  maintain  its 
Business  Office  at  60S  Professional  Building.  All 
matters,  other  than  business,  pertaining  to  the 
undergraduate  department  will  be  attended  to 
at  the  Editors'  Office,  Davidge  Hall,  University  of 
Maryland,  Lombard  and  Greene  Streets.  In  the 
future  all  undergraduate  material  for  publication 
should  be  sent  to  the  latter  address. 


ELECTION  OF  EDITORS  FOR  ENTERING 
CLASSES. 


There  are  four  vacancies  on  The  Gazette  un- 
dergratuate  editorial  board  that  will  be  filled  by 
October  15th.  The  presidents  of  the  first-year 
classes  in  ^ledicine,  Law,  Dentistry  and  Phar- 
macy are  requested  to  see  ^Ir.  A.  B.  iMakover  at 
the  Gazette  Office  in  Davidge  Hall  before  Octo- 
ber 10  to  arrange  for  elections  in  their  respective 
classes.  We  request  that  the  class  officers  men- 
tioned call  as  soon  as  possible  as  there  will  be  an 
Essay  Contest,  as  usual,  before  the  candidates  are 
eligible  for  election. 


Conduct  in  The  Libr.ary. 


The  manners  of  some  of  our  students  when  in 
the  University  Library  are  quite  shocking.  They 
seem  to  forget  that  Davidge  Hall  is  where  men  of 
serious  minds  go  to  consult  works  of  reference 
and  to  study.  They  act  as  if  it  were  a  poolroom 
or  some  such  place  where  men  stand  about  and 
smoke,  talk  loudly  and  make  unseemly  noises. 

It  is  impossible  to  work  properly  when  sur- 
rounded by  a  crowd  of  strong  voiced  young  men 
excitedly  engaged  in  conversations  at  times  edify- 
ing, although  quite  as  frequently  not  so.  In  most 
of  our  sister  universities  the  Library  is  a  mecca 
where  the  most  valuable  students  assemble  to 
work,  and  where  they  may  be  certain  that  annoy- 
ances and  interruptions  will  not  disconcert  them. 
The  regulations  for  the  conduct  of  persons  enter- 
ing the  librar\-  are  strictly  enforced  and  silence  is 
always  insisted  upon.  It  might  be  said  in  passing, 
that  the  disorder  in  our  Library  is  not  due  to  any 
neglect  of  duty  b)'  the  Librarian  or  her  assistants 
but  is  rather  caused  by  an  ungentlemanly  lack  of 
cooperation  on  the  part  of  inconsiderate  students. 

The  present  state  of  affairs  is  unfortunate,  but 
we  believe  that  it  is  due  to  the  fact  that  the  men 
do  not  realize  the  inconvenience  that  results  from 
their  unreasonable  actions.  We  urge  all  students 
to  give  this  matter  their  earnest  consideration.

Advice  to  Freshmen. 


It  is  far  easier  to  give  advice  than  to  take  it, 
but  we  have  been  through  just  what  you  are  only 
starting,  so  it  will  be  well  to  give  ear  to  our  short 
speech.     Oracular  is  our  discourse  and  we  speak 
in  the  manner  of  Polonius  to  his  son : 
My  son,  fresh  art  thou  to  the  ways  of  culture. 
Forget  thou  the  foppery  of  thy  high-school  days 
And  unwrinkle  thy  silly  grin.     A  freshman 
Is  twice  a  child  ;  hold  thy  tongue  in  check 
To  become  the  man.     Costly  thy  habit  as  thy 
Purse  can  buy,  but  taboo  thou  loudness  in 
Neckties ;  rich,  not  gaudy,  for  neckwear 
Oft  proclaimeth  one  the  "freshie."     Hock 
Not  thy  watch  lest  thou  be  in  direst  need. 
And  only  then  till  funds  arrive.     To  thine  own 
Class  stick  true,  for  unity  preserveth 
Our  college  life.     Subscribe  thou  now  to 
The  Gazette,  for,  like  the  Virtues,  it 
Maketh  soul  and  body  whole.     Come  thou 
Across  with  thy  dollar  like  George  o'er 
The  icy  Delaware,  courageously  and  like 
A  man.     Plug  thou  hard  at  thy  studies  now, 
Lest  when  cramming  time  is  nigh  thou 
Regret  the  wasted  hours.     Boost,  and  knock  not. 
This  above  all :     Remember  thou  that  thou 
Enterest  not  merely  to  end  a  Doctor, 
Dentist,  Pharmicist  or  Lawyer,  for  the 
University  aimeth  to  make  of  thee  withal  a  MAN. 
Adieu :  our  blessing  season  this  in  thee.

Resolutions  on  The  Death  op  Prof. 
David  Streett. 

It  becomes  the  painful  duty  of  the  Faculty  of 
Physics  and  Board  of  Regents  of  the  Univer- 
sity OF  Maryland  to  place  on  record  the  death 
of  Prof.  David  Streett. 

Professor  Streett  graduated  from  the  College 
of  Physicians  and  Surgeons  in  the  class  of  1878. 
He  was  elected  professor  of  principles  and  prac- 
tice of  medicine  in  the  Baltimore  Medical  College 
in  1885,  and  for  many  years  was  dean  of  that 
institution.  By  his  zeal,  industry  and  administra- 
tive ability  he  was  largely  instrumental  in  the 
upbuilding  of  that  college.     When  the  merger  of

the  Baltimore  Medical  College  with  the  University 
of  Maryland  was  made  effective  in  1913  Pro- 
fessor Streett  became  professor  of  practice  of 
medicine  and  a  regent  in  the  University  of  Mary- 
land. 

Since  his  connection  with  the  University  of 
Maryland  he  has  been  most  loyal  and  active  in 
the  work  of  the  University  and  has  won  the  es- 
teem and  respect  of  all  his  associates. 

Professor  Streett  was  a  man  of  great  energy 
and  enthusiasm  in  all  professional  activities.  By 
close  application  and  industry  he  acquired  a  large 
fund  of  knowledge  on  all  literary  and  scientific 
subjects,  and  was  a  highly  cultivated  Christian 
gentleman. 

By  his  genial,  affable  manners  and  sweetness  of 
nature  he  became  greatly  beloved  by  a  large  circle 
of  friends  and  professional  admirers. 

He  was  widely  known  and  loved  by  the  gradu- 
ates of  the  Baltimore  Medical  College  and  an- 
nually attended  the  alumni  reunions  of  that  col- 
lege. 

Be  it  Resolved,  That  a  copy  of  these  resolu- 
tions be  recorded  on  the  minutes  of  the  Faculty 
of  Physics  and  of  the  Board  of  Regents. 

That  a  copy  be  sent  to  the  family  of  Prof.  Da- 
vid Streett,  with  the  sympathy  of  the  Faculty  and 
Regents,  and  that  a  copy  be  sent  to  the  University 
publications.  T.  A.  Ashby.

Well,  boys,  this  is  official  notice  that  beginning 
this  day  and  continuing  therefrom  unto  the  last

We  note  with  great  pleasure  that  our  fellow

Vive  le  politician! 

We  have  long  wondered  whether  that  great 
Authority  on  Real  Property,  Mr.  Herman  P. 
Kassan,  is  addicted  to  any  particular  vice.  At 
last  we  have  found  him  out.  The  writer,  desiring 
to  be  a  good  sport,  took  occasion  to  invite  Kasey 
to  have  a  drink.  Our  gentle  readers  will  under- 
stand the  feeling  of  the  invitor  when  the  invitee 
demanded  from  the  dispenor,  "I'll  have  a  glass  of 
Lozak." 

We  would  not  be  greatly  surprised  to  meet  him 
some  bright  day  staggering  out  of  Huylers. 

Not  long  since  we  had  the  pleasure  of  meeting 
our  classmate,  Mr.  M.  H.  Laucheimer,  who 
sported  on  that  occasion  what  we  will  call  for  the 
sake  of  the  argument  a  "mustache."  "Long  may 
it  wave." 


We  glimpsed  Donald  R.  Hohnberger  as  he 
passed  along  Baltimore  Street  resplendent,  in  a 
I'urd  automobile,  during  the  recent  Municipal 
?■  iraae.  We  are  glad  to  say  that  the  machine 
(or  should  we  repeat  Automobile?)  bore  the 
banner  of  The  Department  of  Liens.  We  hope 
to  be  invited  to  a  joy  ride  in  the  near  future.

Well  here  we  are  again  ready  to  line  up  for 
the  last  lap  of  the  race.  Some  of  us  are  handi- 
capped by  Progress  Marks  but  by  burning  the

Freshmen  are  extended  a  hearty  welcome  and 
they  will  find  each  and  every  member  of  the 
Senior  Class  their  friends,  willing  and  ready  to 
assist  them  in  every  way  possible. 

To  my  classmates  and  fellow  collegians  I  also 
extend  welcome. 

There  have  been  several  changes  to  be  noted 
around  the  school.  Namely  the  Technic  Room 
and  the  Laboratories.  "Charlie"  and  his  assistants 
surely  must  have  gotten  ambitious  and  wanted  to 
surprise  the  boys.  Let  us  try  to  keep  the  place 
as  we  intend  to  keep  our  own  offices. 


The  Barber  Dentist  upon  whom  we  harped 
much  last  year  has  been  given  a  new  name  "Char-

but  on  account  of  a  superfluous  growth  of  hair 
on  the  "Superioris  Labii  and  his  cunning  smile. 
When  Dr.  G  calls  "Al"  there  is  no  response  but 
when  he  shouts  "Charlie"  Al  comes  on  a  run.

Freshmen,  the  class  of  1917  bids  you  a  hearty 
welcome  and  wishes  you  the  blessings  of  health, 
happiness,  and  prosperity  during  your  entire 
course.  We  hope  that  we  shall  soon  become  ac-

ciate the  fact  that  we  are  interested  in  those  fol- 
lowing close  in  our  footprints. 


No  one  has  seen  or  heard  of  Waynick.  We 
suppose  he  decided  that  his  early  experience  in  the 
infirmary  qualified  him  to  hang  out  a  shingle  in 
some  desolate  "tar  heel"  spot. 


Claiborne,  Clark,  Smith,  and  Santoni  have  paid 
the  infirmary  occasional  visits.  Santoni  spent  the

Clarke  went  to  his  home  in  Virginia  for  a  short 
visit.

ACADEMIC— GRADUATE. 


St.  John's  College  reopened  September  1.5th 
with  prospects  for  a  successful  term.  A  number 
of  new  students  were  enrolled.  There  is  only  one 
change  in  the  faculty,  that  of  Prof.  S.  S.  Handy, 
former  principal  of  the  Easton  (Md.)  High 
School,  who  takes  the  chair  of  English  and  his- 
tory, in  place  of  Prof.  Stanwood  Cobb,  resigned. 

With  practically  every  member  of  last  year's 
squad  back  at  college,  and  good  material  to  pick 
from,  the  Cadets  e.xpect  to  turn  out  the  usually 
strong  football  team.  The  chief  loss  is  that  of 
Bowen,  a  halfback,  who,  it  is  understood,  has 
decided  to  enter  Georgetown  University. 

The  formal  opening  of  St.  John's  College  took 
place  Wednesday  Sept.  '20th,  when  Dr.  Thomas 
Fell  and  the  faculty  in  cap  and  gown  appeared  on 
the  platform  for  Chapel  exercises.  At  the  con- 
clusion Dr.  Fell  made  an  address  to  the  students. 
He  said  in  part,  as  follows : 

"You  have,  I  hope,  assembled  within  these  walls 
refreshed  by  the  vacation  just  ended,  and  with  a 
well  defined  intention  to  do  good  work  during  the 
period  of  your  residence  here. 

"Unfortunately  the  good  intentions  with  which 
we  commence  our  college  course  are  not  always 
realized  for  the  reason  that  earnestness  of  purpose 
is  not  always  maintained, 

an  active  interest  in  their  studies  so  as  to  ac- 
complish the  great  end  they  had  in  view  when 
matriculating  as  students." 


"It  has  often  been  said  that  the  success  of  a 
college  does  not  depend  upon  mere  numbers, 
whether  of  buildings,  books,  students  or  football 
trophies,  but  upon  the  men  who  form  the  faculty. 
From  these  emanate  the  influence  which  tends  to 
produce  useful  citizens,  and  it  is  they,  themselves, 
who  make  or  mar  the  college. 

"An  instructor,  to  be  successful  must  not  re- 
gard the  pupil  as  a  receptacle,  merely  to  be  filled 
up  with  a  certain  amount  of  information;  a 
greater  responsibility  rests  upon  him — and  he 
must  conceive  the  youth  as  a  living  spirit,  a  being 
whose  manhood  must  be  built  up. 

"There  is,  however,  much  that  a  student  should 
do,  on  his  part  to  promote  this  process  or  building 
up  character.  He  must  not  be  passive  merely, 
but  must  be  plastic  and  receptive.  He  must  en- 
deavor to  respond  to  the  utmost  of  his  ability,  to 
the  efforts  put  forth  in  his  behalf." 

Reference  was  then  made  to  a  feeling  of  grati- 
fication with  the  appearance  and  qualifications  of 
the  new  students.  The  Freshman  Class  will 
probably  enroll  nearly  70  members,  to  whom  the 
Doctor  especially  spoke,  admonishing  them  to 
avail  themselves  of  their  opportunities. 

Dr.  Fell  said  there  is  no  training  like  the  true 
college  life,  of  campus,  dormitory  and  restraining 
discipline  for  the  development  of  a  robust,  healthy, 
manly  character.  He  urged  them  to  pay  attention 
to  the  rules  and  regulations  of  the  college,  to 
carefully  observe  the  principles  of  the  honor 
system  to  which  they  were  pledged,  and  to  take 
an  active  interest  in  their  studies  so  as  to  ac- 
complish the  great  end  they  had  in  view  when 
matriculating  as  students."

No  Experiments  on  Him. 
A  Good  Joke  on  Johns  Hopkins  Hospital 

A  few  evenings  ago  we  were  around  at  Dr. 
Hyatt's  office  and  while  discussing  the  reason  why 
people  went  away  from  home  for  professional 
work  that  could  often  be  done  better  at  home,  the 
doctor  remarked  that  it  sometimes  worked  the 
other  way. 

He  said,  "One  evening  about  7  years  ago  I  was 
sitting  in  my  office,  when  in  came  a  grizzly  old 
countr)'  man,  carpet  bag  in  hand  and  a  red  band- 
age tied  over  one  eye,  saying :  '  I  am  a  looking  for 
Dr.  Hyatt,  he  is  the  man  I  want  to  see.  I  have 
been  hearing  of  him  for  the  last  20  years.  Some 
of  my  neighbors  wanted  me  to  go  to  Baltimore 
to  see  old  Dr.  Jno.  Hopkins,  I  axed  my  son  about 
Dr.  Hopkins  and  he  told  me  that  he  thought  old 
Dr.  Hopkins  had  quit  practicing  and  had  hired  a 
lot  of  young  fellows  to  run  his  hospital  for  him. 
I  tell  you  that  aint  gwine  to  do  for  me.  I  want 
a  settled  man,  one  with  some  experience,  to  look 
after  my  eyes.  I  aint  going  to  allow  no  young 
fellow  to  experiment  on  me.  This  is  Dr.  Hyatt 
aint  it?  Since  looking  at  you,  doctor,  I  am  glad 
that  I  come.  You  looks  like  you  knows  what  you 
are  about.'  "

OPPORTUNITY  FOR  SERVICE.* 


By  B.  Merrill  Hopkinson,  D.C.D.,  A.M.,  M.D. 


Opportunities  to  address  the  combined  classes 
of  our  department  present  themselves  very  in- 
frequently to  the  greater  number  of  the  teach- 
ing staff,  particularly,  opportunities  when  one 
can  speak  upon  general  educational  topics,  or, 
at  all  events,  upon  a  theme  not  assigned  by 
those  who  have  given  him  the  authority  to  de- 
liver specific  lectures  for  regularly  allotted 
periods  of  time. 

Given  such  a  golden  occasion,  one  who  fails 
to  grasp  it  is  either  not  an  enthusiastic  teacher, 
as  all  teachers  should  be,  or  else  he  fails  to 
measure  up  to  the  simple  requirements  which 
might  reasonably  be  expected  in  a  person  hold- 
ing so  responsible  an  office.    I  am  reminded  of 
the  striking  poem  written  by  the  late  Senator 
John  J.  Ingalls,  entitled  "Opportunity."    It  is 
as  follows,  and  you  will  all  do  well  to  remember 
it  as  you  step  upon  the  threshold  of  your  pro- 
fessional careers. 
' '  Master  of  human  destinies  am  I : 
Fame,  love  and  fortune  on  my  footsteps  wait. 
Cities  and  fields  I  walk :    I  penetrate 
Deserts  and  seas  remote,  and  passing  by 
Hovel  and  mart  and  palace,  soon  or  late 
I  knock  unbidden  once  at  every  gate. 
If  sleeping,  wake ;  if  feasting,  rise  before 
I  turn  away ;  it  is  the  hour  of  fate 
And  those  who  foUow  me  reach  every  state 
Mortals  desire,  and  conquer  every  foe 
Save  death :  while  those  who  doubt  or  hesitate 
Seek  me  in  vain,  and  uselessly  implore ; 
I  answer  not,  and  I  return  no  more. 

As  I  look  backward  I  realize  that  I  have 


♦Address  delivered  to  the  students  of  the  oral 
department,  at  the  opening  of  the  session  1915-16, 
October  4,  1915. 


allowed  many  opportunities  to  knock  at  my 
door  unnoticed,  or  at  least  without  being  in- 
vited to  enter  and  become  my  servants,  or 
coadjutors  in  the  warfare  of  life. 

It  will  ever  be  a  satisfaction  to  me  to  look 
back  in  those  years  which  may  come,  and  re- 
member that  I  was  not  unmindful  of  the  splen- 
did opportunity  which  I  have  seized  this  day. 

May  it  be  your  joy  in  your  coming  years  to 
heed  the  knock  of  the  unbidden  guest. 

When  the  learned  Doctor  of  Divinity  enters 
his  pulpit  to  address  his  congregation,  the  cus- 
tom has  been,  from  time  immemorial,  to  an- 
nounce a  text,  upon  which  he  proceeds  to  pre- 
sent and  elaborate  an  exegetical  argument  to 
prove  the  premise  laid  down  in  the  particular 
portion  of  scripture  he  has  chosen  for  the  day. 
The  same  scheme  is  followed  by  lecturers  in 
other  fields,  and  he  is  the  most  successful 
teacher  who  can  select  a  striking,  forceful 
theme,  and  follow  it  to  its  logical  conclusion 
without  wandering  into  byways  and  lanes  of 
thought  which  are  not  particularly  associated 
or  correlated.  In  gladly  seizing  the  opportu- 
nity to  make  an  introductory  address  to  you,  I 
began  to  cast  about  in  my  mind  for  a  theme 
that  might  prove  interesting,  and  at  the  same 
time  contain  some  few  thoughts  which  would 
remain  with  you  and  be  something  more  than  a 
mere  stimulus  in  the  course  of  your  future 
study. 

A  number  of  ideas  presented  with  a  good 
deal  of  insistence,  and,  incidentally,  it  was  diffi- 
cult for  me  to  divorce  myself  entirely  from  cer- 
tain phases  of  the  particular  branches  it  is  my 
duty  and  privilege  to  teach  in  the  University. 
It  is  said  that  out  of  the  fulness  of  the  heart 
the  mouth  speaketh,  and  you  will  hear  me  give 
voice  to  a  few  thoughts  upon  one  of  the 
topics  which  is  uppermost  in  my  mind,  before  I 
conclude. 


68 


THE  UNIVERSITY  GAZETTE 


After  mature  deliberation,  and  after  having 
placed  my  several  ideas  in  their  proper  rela- 
tion to  you  and  your  special  life  work,  I  de- 
cided that  I  could  but  best  occupy  the  brief 
portion  of  time  afforded  me  by  selecting  as  my 
text  the  highest  of  all  human  thoughts,  the 
noblest  of  the  many  impulses  which  may  govern 
your  lives,  by  talking  to  you  upon  the  theme, 
"Opportunity  for  service." 

Had  the  call  to  a  life  of  service  come  to  a 
class  of  students  in  such  an  University  depart- 
ment as  ours  a  few  years  ago,  I  can  imagine 
the  amazement  and  surprise  with  which  such  a 
call  would  have  been  received,  as  the  class 
would  sit  aghast  at  the  mere  mention  of  so 
revolutionary  an  idea.  Today,  I  am  happy  to 
say,  thanks  to  the  benign  influence  of  our  ne\^ 
school  of  thought,  which  includes  the  doctrine 
of  oral  health  for  the  masses,  via  the  humane 
path  of  your  professional  assistance,  plus  the 
practice  of  universal  prophylaxis,  one  feels 
that  a  discourse  upon  such  a  theme,  as  service, 
is  not  only  timely  and  helpful,  but  such  an  one 
as  thoughtful  students  might  reasonably  ex- 
pect from  a  thoughtful  teacher. 

It  has  been  said,  that  the  departed  grandeur 
and  glory  of  Egypt  suggests  the  antidote  to 
the  subtle  poison  generated  by  materialism  in 
individual  or  nation. 

The  antidote  is,  "that  life  itself  is  of  no  value, 
either  to  the  individual  or  to  the  world,  except 
in  so  far  as  it  is  made  of  service  to  the  cause 
of  humanity." 

What  is  meant  by  service?  What  kind  of 
service?  It  is  not  difficult  to  understand  ser- 
vice to  one's  family  or  country,  but  what  of 
service  to  humanity? 

The  author  of  a  remarkable  book,  entitled, 
the  Magnum  Opus  was  once  heard  to  say, 
' '  the  most  eloquent  sermon  that  can  be  preached 
is  the  example  of  a  consistent  life." 

In  the  pursuit  of  your  study  of  the  ennobling 
theme  of  service,  I  would  charge  you  so  to  live, 
that  each  day  you  may  become  preachers  of  so 
worthy  a  sermon  to  your  clientele  and  the 
community  at  large. 

I  ask  you,  then,  to  approach  this  subject  with 
me,  not  in  the  spirit  of  the  embryo  dental  me- 


chanic, of  less  than  a  decade  ago,  but  as  men  who 
propose  to  enroll  themselves  as  full  specialists 
in  the  noble  healing  art,  whose  spirits  are  aflame 
with  a  desire  to  render  enduring  service  to  all 
human  beings  who  are  not  so  well  equipped  for 
the  battle  of  life. 

I  do  not  know  of  a  greater  privilege  accorded 
to  man  or  woman,  than  that  of  being  permitted 
to  try  and  teach  the  youths  of  our  nation, 
whether  it  be  in  the  elements  of  education,  in 
the  advanced  stages  of  knowledge,  or  in  the 
highest  realm  of  science  found  in  the  curricula 
of  our  professional  schools. 

In  the  opinion  of  your  speaker,  an  instructor 
in  this  honored  University  occupies  as  noble  a 
post  as  the  man  who  preaches  the  gospel  of 
salvation ;  for  added  to  his  opportunities  to 
impart  technical  and  scientific  knowledge,  there 
lies  the  God-given  privilege  of  indicating,  both 
by  precept  and  example,  the  way  of  morality 
and  nobility  of  life,  the  many  paths  of  hygiene 
and  cleanliness  of  soul  and  body,  as  well  as  the 
prerogative  of  pointing  out  the  shining  path 
over  which  is  blazoned  in  imperishable  letters 
the  exalted  truth  contained  in  the  Golden  Rule. 

Holding  such  tenets  you  can  readily  appre- 
ciate the  feeling  of  responsibility  which  weighs 
upon  my  heart  and  mind,  as  I  again  take  up  my 
duties  at  the  beginning  of  another  academic 
year. 

Privilege  always  brings  responsibility,  and 
noblesse  oblige  will  follow  the  humble  as  well 
as  the  exalted,  for  there  are  few  persons  in  the 
world  of  whom  it  can  be  said  there  is  no  one' 
more  lowly,  no  one  who  cannot  rightly  ex- 
pect an  example  of  some  good  sort  from  some 
one  of  higher  rank.  It  is  in  this  spirit  of  ac- 
countability that  I  approach  the  labors  of  the 
coming  session,  and  am  here  today  by  invita- 
tion of  your  dean. 

I  hope  I  may  touch  some  chord  in  your  hearts 
which  will  vibrate  in  unison  with  my  ideas  of 
your  responsible  station,  give  expression  to 
some  thought  which  will  haunt  you  and  be- 
come an  obsession  to  urge  you  on  to  a  higher 
plane  of  life,  where  you  will  be  forced  to  ac- 
knoledge  the  reasonableness  ot noblesse  oblige 

As  I  look  into  the  faces  of  such  an  eager, 


THE  UNIVERSITY  GAZETTE 


69 


alert  and  intelligent  body  of  students  about  to 
travel  the  path  of  life  which  has  been  more  or 
less  laboriously  trodden  by  myself,  I  cannot 
help  but  fall  into  a  train  of  thought  which 
leads  me  to  wonder  what  may  possibly  be  the 
leading  heart's  desire  of  each  individual  unit 
composing  my  audience. 

There  are  many  worthy  goals  toward  which 
you  may  tend  and  seek  to  attain. 

You  may  desire  to  perfect  yourself  in  some 
particular  branch  of  your  specialty,  intending 
to  make  that  your  life  work.  You  may  be  look- 
ing forward  to  the  time  when  you  can  repay 
parent  or  friend  for  an  outlay  of  money  which 
has  enabled  you  to  prosecute  your  studies. 

You  may  simply  be  engaged  in  the  study  of 
the  oral  branch  of  medicine  in  order  to  broaden 
your  general  knowledge,  and  make  it  supple- 
mentary to  some  other  active  vocation  in  the 
field  of  medicine.  Many  such  instances  are  on 
record. 

You  may  have  your  mental  vision  focused 
upon  a  future  day,  a  revelation  of  which  con- 
tains home,  wife  and  children,  a  laudable  ambi- 
tion for  any  man  and  the  snmrmim  bomnn  of 
this  world's  prizes. 

I  could  mention  a  score  or  more  of  worthy 
aims,  but  the  above  will  suffice  to  indicate,  in 
a  general  way,  I  am  sure,  the  longings  of  the 
average  student. 

As  one  who  knows  the  beaten  track,  who  has 
had  all  the  desires  and  ambitions  of  the  pro- 
fessional fledgling,  pray  permit  me  to  say,  while 
all  those  I  have  noted  are  good  in  themselves, 
they  do  not  represent  the  highest  aim  of  any 
human  life,  and  will  not  satisfy  the  longings 
of  him  who  has  the  correct  viewpoint  of  his 
duty  to  his  fellow  man  as  a  member  of  a  liberal 
profession.  I  have  known  men  who  have  en- 
tered upon  the  practice  of  medicine,  or  one  of 
her  specialties,  whose  aim,  openly  avowed,  was 
to  make  money. 

In  some  instances  they  have  succeeded,  but, 
for  the  most  part,  their  success  was  like  dead 
sea  fruit,  bitter  to  the  taste,  and  without  com- 
fort to  mind  or  body. 

Let  me  counsel  you,  if  you  should  cherish 
any  or  all  of  the  above  mentioned  aims,  or 


others  correlated,  as  your  goal  of  ambition,  to 
subordinate  them  to  a  passionate  desire  to  ren- 
der service  to  your  fellow  man,  by  reason  of 
your  knowledge  and  technical  skill,  for  be  as- 
sured, that  in  this  way  only  will  you  find  a 
satisfied  mind,  a  contented  spirit,  and  a  well 
rounded  career. 

It  is  quite  proper  to  bear  in  mind  the  suitable 
rewards  you  should  receive  for  services  faith- 
fully performed.  I  sometimes  wish  I  had  been 
more  thoughtful  in  this  regard;  but,  while 
exercising  due  care  in  such  matters,  let  your 
first  and  preponderating  wish  be  your  ideal; 
viz.,  to  serve  your  fellow  man  with  the  best 
skill  and  devotion  of  your  mind  and  body.  The 
motto  of  the  Prince  of  Wales  is,  "Ich  dien," 
and  a  greater  cannot  be  engraved  upon  the 
hei'aldic  arms  of  any  man.  The  confessed 
Saviour  of  the  sublime  Christian  religion,  took 
upon  Himself  the  form  of  a  servant,  and  lived 
His  life  in  altruistic  endeavor. 

Your  branch  of  medicine  is,  scientifically  con- 
sidered, about  seventy-five  years  old;  and  yet, 
the  spirit  of  altruism  did  not  begin  to  manifest 
itself  in  this  country  at  least  until  1895,  when 
the  first  clinic  was  established  in  Rochester,  N. 
Y.,  for  rendering  much  needed  aid  to  the  poor 
children  of  that  city. 

Even  in  the  present  day,  at  all  gatherings  of 
oral  practitioners,  one  will  surely  find  the  prin- 
cipal emphasis  laid  upon  the  mechanical  side  of 
practice,  and  always  at  the  expense  of  the  pure- 
ly scientific  aspect  of  your  specialty,  by  a  very 
large  majority  of  those  in  attendance,  the  sub- 
ject of  service  to  humanity  in  the  mass,  having 
been  shamefully  neglected  until  about  the  year 
1911. 

It  will,  of  course,  be  absolutely  necessary  for 
you  to  keep  in  close  touch  with  all  the  wonder- 
ful advances  in  the  marvellous  artistic  branch 
of  your  practice,  and  the  ingenuity  of  the  many

skilfull  men  engaged  in  the  practice  of  oral 
surgery  in  this  astonishing  age,  keeps  one  in  an 
amazed  frame  of  mind,  and  causes  one  to  mar- 
vel at  the  quality  of  the  human  brain  that  is  so 
prolific  in  useful  invention. 

To  be  a  good  surgeon,  general  or  oral,  one 
must  be  a  good  mechanic;  but  must  not  forget 
the  duty  one  owes  to  the  masses,  in  the  striving 
after  perfection  in  mechanical  de'vices  and  new 
ways  of  performing  operations,  to  the  end  that 
he  may  simply  and  solely  increase  his  worldly 
goods,  thus  forgetting  that  the  science  of  oral 
medicine  needs  to  be  developed  and  advanced, 
pari  passu,  by  the  enlarging  of  our  mental  hori- 
zon, and  increasing  our  scientific  knowledge,  by 
the  broadening  of  our  view-point,  and  by  keep- 
ing ever  in  mind  the  fact  that  the  foundation 
stone  of  our  profession  must  be  an  ever  increas- 
ing altruism,  if  we  expect  to  take  and  hold  our 
place  as  true  doctors  of  a  noble  vocation. 

This  thought  of  altruism  is  finely  expressed 
in  a  strong  bit  of  blank  verse  which  appeared 
upon  the  front  page  of  the  October  number  of 
the  University  Gazette,  the  author  being  Eva- 
line  "Wright  Xelson.  It  is  worth  reproducing 
here. 

"A  triune  faith  is  this,  including  faith 
In  God,  as  'ransom,  bliss  and  panoply,' 
A  faith  in  self,  not  egotistical 
BeUef  that  overestimates,  nor  yet 
A  sham  humility  that  culminates 
In  proud  disparagement  of  self,  but  faith 
Profound  that  being  factor  in  Life's  strange- 
Equation  I  must  count,  the  minus  sign 
Or  plus  determined  less  by  where  I  stand 
Than  how  I  fill  the  place.    Essential  too 
Is  faith  in  every  man's  capacity 
For  God;  a  faith  which  sees  the  heads  of  gold 
Above  the  feet  of  clay,  discerns  beneath 
Dissimulated  satisfaction  with 
The  husks,  consuming  hunger  of  the  soul ; 
This  trinity  of  faith  stands  straight  and  strong. 
Unmoved  by  seeming  victories  of  wrong 
Expectant  always  that  humanity 
Shall  reach  the  final  Good,  and  to  that  end 
Pursues  its  work  of  uplift  which  includes 
The  masses  and  the  individual.'  " 

Your  calling  will  simply  be  a  trade  if  you 


practice   for   money   only,   for  the   carpenter, 
plumber  and  shoemaker  do  the  same. 

One  reason  why  the  dentist,  a  name  I  do  not 
like,  as  you  will  discover  more  fully  later  on,  is 
not  more  highly  regarded,  and  has  failed  to 
take  the  place,  which  is  his  by  right,  with  other 
medical  specialists,  is  because  he  has  proclaimed 
himself  in  the  past  by  his  methods  of  practice, 
as  one  who  is  concerned  only  with  the  repair 
and  replacement  of  broken-down  and  lost  teeth, 
and  is  in  no  way  related  to  a  profession  which 
has  prophylaxis  as  one  of  its  vital  and  absoi'b- 
ing  tenets. 

Imagine,  if  you  can,  the  hygienic  condi- 
tion of  the  civilized  world,  if  the  members  of 
other  medical  branches  had  failed  to  interest 
themselves  in  the  masses  of  mankind,  in  a  pro- 
plylaetic  endeavor  to  check  the  ravages  of 
smallpox,  bubonic  plague,  typhoid  and  typhus 
fevers,  and  the  many  other  maladies  which  their 
noble  efforts  have  brought  under  control? 

Picture  to  yourselves  the  mental  and  physical 
states  of  man,  if  all  the  human  repair  shops  in 
this  city  alone  should  suddenly  close  their  doors, 
and  all  the  magnanimous  men  and  women  who 
have  gladly  given  their  time  and  talents  to  help 
the  poor  and  needy  should  suddenly  decide  that 
they  would  abandon  their  sociologic  endeavors, 
and  devote  their  entire  time,  as  has  the  dentist, 
to  a  selfish,  individualistic  scheme  of  working 
only  when  there  was  a  quid  pro  quo  in  sight? 
Thank  God,  one  cannot  paint  such  forbidding 
and  horrible  mental  pictures,  for,  so  long  as 
sickness  and  sorrow  continue,  just  so  long  will 
there  be  found  many  hearts,  yearning  to  relieve 
and  assuage  the  miseries  of  those  upon  whom 
the  blight  of  original  sin  has  fallen  so  hea^dly. 

What  has  the  oral  branch  of  medicine  done 
to  relieve  the  sorely  aftticted  and  ignorant 
masses  of  the  human  famUy?  What  are  its 
achievements  in  the  direction  of  holding  in 
check  the  most  prolific  disease  known  to  man; 
and  to  speak  well  within  reasonable  bounds,  the 
eontrib^^ting  cause  of  many  other  diseases? 

To  the  shame  of  its  members,  it  must  be  truth- 
fully, if  regretfully  said,  that  throaghout  the 
length  and  breadth  of  our  land,  one  can  only 
find    an    occasional    evidence    of    the    worthv

spirit  of  altruism  which  should  be  rooted  and 
grounded  in  every  human  heart. 

"When  one  thinks  of  the  Porsythe  Free  In- 
firmary in  Boston,  one  cannot  help  but  rejoice 
to  have  lived  to  see  the  day  which  has  pro- 
duced so  noble  an  institution.  To  my  mind  it 
is  the  greatest  single  centre  for  doing  good  to 
be  found  in  the  world,  and  is  a  most  conspic- 
uous monument  to  the  memory  of  three  noble 
men,  who,  having  had  a  vision,  proceeded  to 
reduce  it  to  terms  of  a  material  and  magnifi- 
cent structure,  where  countless  thousands  of 
dear  little  children  will  be  relieved  of  the  woes 
which  they  have  inherited,  either  because  of 
pre-natal  defects,  or,  of  warped  or  neglected 
sociologic  laws.  I  wish  I  had  time  to  give  you 
a  detailed  description  of  this  greatest  of  gifts  of 
man  to  man;  but  you  can  read  of  it  elsewhere, 
and  I  must  pass  on  to  other  thoughts. 

There  comes  to  mind,  just  here,  the  latest 
addition  to  the  opportunities  for  service  in  your 
line  of  practice;  viz.,  the  erection  and  dedica- 
tion of  the  Evans  Memorial  Clinic  for  oral 
troubles,  in  connection  with  the  University  of 
Pennsylvania.  Here  is  another  mighty  fac- 
tor in  the  extension  of  oral  hygiene  propa- 
ganda, differing  principally  from  the  Porsythe 
Infirmary,  in  the  fact,  that  those  treated  in  the 
former,  are  treated  by  students  in  pursuit  of 
ante-graduation  oral  knowledge.  These  insti- 
tutions will  give  an  uplift  to  the  care  of  the  oral 
cavity  which  will  be  felt  throughout  the  world. 

The  Porsythe,  founded  and  endowed  as  a 
purely  sociologic  scheme  where  children  will 
receive  the  best  services  at  the  hands  of  ex- 
perts, for  the  alleviation  and  cure  of  oral  mala- 
dies, and  those  intimately  related  in  nose, 
throat,  etc.  The  Evans,  an  institution  for  the 
treatment  of  oral  defects  only;  conceived, 
planned  and  endowed  by  a  distinguished  prac- 
titioner, and  made  an  integral  part  of  one  of 
the  great  American  Universities,  where  students 
will  be  aided  in  the  procurement  of  scientific 
and  mechanical  knowledge,  thereby  the  better 
enabling  them  to  become  accomplished  stoma- 
tologists. 

The  above  are  by  no  means  the  only  places 
upon   the    American    Continent,    as    you   well 


know,  where  extensive  schemes  are  carried  on 
for  oral  hygiene  propaganda ;  but  they  are  the 
greatest  and  most  recent,  and  they  should,  and 
I  am  sure,  will  give  an  impetus  to  this  most  im- 
portant avenue  of  service  to  the  masses,  that 
will  know  no  dimunition,  until  all  peoples  will 
acknowledge  the  necessity  for  clean  and  healthy 
mouths.  I  have  placed  these  great  and  splen- 
did benefices  in  contrast  before  you  in  order 
to  magnify  the  quality  of  the  first,  without  mini- 
mizing or  detracting  from  the  value  of  the 
second. 

The  first  seems  to  typify,  to  me,  the  sort  of 
an  altruistic  doctor  I  am  hoping  each  of  you 
will  be ;  the  second,  the  more  or  less  selfish 
dentist,  whose  policy  is  to  get  something  for 
each  service  performed. 

I  fancy  any  body  of  listeners,  interested  in 
the  advance  of  oral  science,  would  naturally 
expect  me  to  touch  upon  a  topic  in  which  I  am 
vitally  interested;  nay,  which  has  become  an 
obsession  with  me ;  and  surely,  a  body  of  under- 
graduate students  who  will  come  under  my 
teaching  infiuence,  would  anticipate  more  than 
a  mere  mention  of  oral  hygiene  propaganda  in 
an  address  bearing  the  title  "Opportunity  for 
service."  Oral  hygiene  as  taught  here,  means, 
primarily,  service.  Service  to  humanity  in  the 
mass ;  for,  while  the  means  to  secure  and  main- 
tain individual  mouth  health,  are  gone  into  in 
intimate  detail,  the  underlying  thought  of  your 
teacher  is  his  longing  to  instil  into  your 
minds  and  hearts  the  idea  that  you  must  take 
your  places  with  all  the  great  scientific  forces 
in  medical  and  other  ranks,  co-operating  today 
to  bring  about  an  amelioration  of  the  ills  from 
which  all  communities  suffer,  and  suffer  so  un- 
necessarily. 

I  would  have  you,  each  one,  become  a  posi- 
tive influence  for  good  in  the  great  world  of 
science  in  which  you  live,  so  that  those  with 
whom  you  come  into  contact,  will  not  be  at  a 
loss  as  to  how  to  classify  you. 

One  meets  so  many  negative  men,  particu- 
larly in  your  special  branch  of  medicine;  men 
who  have  never  done  anything  to  advance  a 
new  thought,  and,  so  far  as  they  seemed  to  be 
aware,  anything  to  retard  its  advance.     They 


72 


THE  UNIVERSITY  GAZETTE 


have  failed  to  realize,  that,  as  they  had  not 
ranged  themselves  as  positive  forces  for  the 
advance  of  any  given  propaganda,  that  they 
had  actually  become  hindrances  to  its  progress. 
You  have  heard  much  during  the  past  year 
of  the  necessity  for  neutrality  among  the  citi- 
zens of  this  country.  When  great  issues  are  at 
stake,  I  do  not  believe  the  man  lives,  who  has 
real  red  blood  in  his  arteries,  who  can  remain 
neutral.  He  may  refrain,  for  some  good  reason, 
from  openly  espousing  one,  or  another  cause; 
but,  deep  down  in  his  heart,  his  sympathy  must 
ally  itself  upon  the  side  which  he  feels  is  right. 
There  can  be  no  neutrality  in  the  scientific 
world,  and  I  trust  that  you  will  ever  be  found 
earnest  advocates  of  every  form  of  progression. 
Some  of  you  may  have  read  the  poem,  by  a  dis- 
tinguished author,  relating  to  the  soul  of  a 
neutral  man  who  died.  This  soul  presented 
itself  at  the  gate  of  Heaven,  and  was  much  sur- 
prised and  chagrined  to  be  denied  admittance; 
because,  during  its  earthly  period  of  association 
with  the  body,  it  had  not  performed  any  spe- 
cific acts  of  goodness  which  would  justify  its 
enjoyment  of  perpetual  heavenly  bliss.  It 
then  sought  the  gate  of  hell,  and  was  told  that 
there  was  no  record  upon  the  books  of  that 
place  which  made  it  a  suitable  abiding  place 
for  so  neutral  a  soul.  This  nondescript  spirit 
has,  ever  since,  been  wandering  in  space,  and 
can  never  find  a  habitation  where  it  may  dwell 
in  peace. 

Remember  this  striking  bit  of  fiction,  and  in 
your  future  lives,  study  well  each  proposition 
placed  before  you,  and  become  positive  forces 
in  your  several  communities,  striving  ever  for 
the  advancement  of  all  your  fellow  creatures, 
whom  you  should  serve. 

Let  it  be  known  that  you  are,  in  the  first 
place,  studying  to  become  twentieth  century 
stomatologists,  and  that  your  aim  in  life  is  to 
range  yourselves  upon  the  side  of  all  those 
helpful  agencies  which  I  am  pleased  to  call  col- 
lectively, altruistic  sociology. 

The  banner  of  this  illustrious  band  of  men 
and  women  bears  the  image  of  the  goddess 
Hygiea,  collecting  the  poison  of  a  serpent  in  a 
cup,  thus  preventing  its  universal  distribution ; 


the  serpent  typifying  disease  in  all  its  distress- 
ing and  loathsome  guises,  and  upon  the  banner 
is  inscribed  the  noble  motto,  prophylaxis  for 
all  mankind.  In  following  this  banner,  and  its 
distinguished  apostles,  you  will  be  lead  out  of 
the  shadows  wherein  your  predecessors  have 
lingered  for  so  many  years  bearing  the  obloquy 
of  the  title  of  mechanic,  into  fairer  and  richer 
fields  of  usefulness  and  service. 

This  course  of  service  will  enable  you,  nay, 
it  will  compel  you  to  cultivate  a  spirit  of  gen- 
erosity and  broad-minded  usefulness  to  your 
less  fortunate  brethren,  and  make  you  reach 
out  your  hand  to  him  who  has  lost  his  way  in 
the  slough  of  adversity,  to  start  him  upon  the 
road  toward  health  and  peace. 

This  course  is  the  one  upon  which  all  mag- 
nanimous men  and  women  have  won  the  laurel 
wreath  of  nobility  in  their  service  for  the  un- 
fortunate ;  and  I  would  have  you  equip  your- 
selves to  enter  the  lists  and  win  the  great  loving 
cup  of  service,  forcing  the  public  to  place  you 
in  the  same  category  with  your  fellows  in  other 
branches  of  the  healing  art;  all  of  whom  will 
then  acknowledge  you  their  equal  in  every 
sense,  as  they  realize  that  it  is  your  highest 
aim  to  prevent  the  devastation  due  to  the  most 
prolific  disease  known  to  science,  by  making 
your  life  one  of  service  to  mankind. 

I  shall  hope  and  yearn,  day  by  day,  that  you 
will  reach  this  coveted  goal  of  a  noble  am- 
bition; and,  if  you  have  not  already  hitched

your  wagon  to  the  changeless  star  of  service,  I 
charge  you  so  to  do,  and  do  it  now,  here  in  your 
preparatory  work,  your  period,  as  it  were  of 
professional  probation. 

As  you  are  assigned  a  patient  hy  your  demon- 
strator, do  not  allow  the  selfish  aim  of  simply 
acquiring  knowledge,  or  future  gain  from  such 
knowledge  and  added  skill,  to  be  your  one  ab- 
sorbing thought,  even  though  such  an  aim  be 
not  a  dishonorable  one.  Never  forget  that  you 
are  operating  upon  your  fellows,  and  one  su- 
preme thought  should  ever  predominate,  viz. : 
what  can  I  do  in  pursuit  of  the  clear  perception 
of  truth  and  fact  for  which  I  am  diligently 
seeking,  that  will  be  of  the  highest  and  best 
service  for  this  person  placed  under  my  pro- 
fessional care.  With  this  exalting  thought  ever 
in  the  forefront  of  your  mind,  you  will  not  only 
render  better  service  from  a  technical  point  of 
view,  but  you  will  do  it  in  such  a  manner  as  to 
eliminate  the  baser  side  of  your  practice,  which 
has  been  the  mightiest  hindrance  to  the  attain- 
ment to  that  high  station  which  is  the  rightful 
heritage  of  the  oral  specialist,  because  of  the 
value  of  the  service  which  he  renders  to  the 
peoples  of  the  earth. 

Habits  formed  here  will  follow  you  to  your 
graves.  If  you  permit  the  material  side  of 
practice  to  be  that  which  is  ever  your  mental 
picture,  most  agreeable,  and  most  desirable  to 
be  attained,  you  will  not  only  lose  the  greatest 
personal  satisfaction  and  happiness  of  your 
career,  you  will  be  another  factor  in  keep- 
ing the  oral  branch  of  medicine  in  the  inferior 
place  it  has  occupied  in  the  minds  of  a  vast 
majority  of  people,  for  the  last  three-quarters 
of  a  century,  and,  in  my  opinion,  rightly  so. 

Let  your  first  thought,  then,  in  the  infirmary, 
be  helpful  service  for  each  patient,  and  in  the 
performance  of  any  given  operation,  seek  your 
knowledge  and  technical  skill  with  this  idea  as 
the  underlying  principle. 

People  do  not,  as  a  rule,  seek  the  horrors  of  a 
dental  infirmary  unless  they  are  sorely  afflicted, 
and  this,  of  course,  applies  with  almost  equal 
force  to  any  human  repair  shop. 

Let  your  service  take  a  higher  form,  and 
when  you  look  into  a  human  mouth,  do  not  let

your  vision  stop  at  a  carious  tooth  or  teeth, 
gingival  disease,  or  vacancies  in  the  dental 
arches,  but  look  back  of  these  defects  and  try 
and  discover  the  principal  reasons  for  them; 
whether  they  be  heredity,  environment,  ignor- 
ance, vice,  ill  health,  carelessness,  neglect,  or  a 
combination  of  one  or  more  of  these  conditions. 
Do  not  be  content  to  patch  up  existing  troubles. 
Make  each  person  a  starting  point  in  your 
scheme  for  universal  prophylaxis,  and  teach 
him  how  he  can  live  and  act,  so  as  in  great 
measure,  at  least,  to  avoid  a  repetition  of  the 
ills  which  have  brought  him  under  your  care. 

I  firmly  believe  that  the  average  student  re- 
gards the  infirmary  patient  as  a  necessary  evil 
in  his  path,  and  even  though  he  be  keen  for 
knowledge,  he  does  not  appraise  his  fellow  man, 
in  such  case,  at  his  full  humanity  value.  I  do 
not  make  this  statement  as  a  theorist,  but  as  a 
quondam  oral  novitiate.  Remember,  that  the 
dental  infirmary  patient  has  a  great  sufficiency 
of  sorrow  in  mind  and  body,  and  usually 
enough  of  poverty  of  soul  as  well  as  pocket- 
book,  without  any  unnecessary  addition  upon 
your  part,  of  any  action  which  might  be  re- 
garded as  unkind  in  even  the  remotest  way. 
Surround  your  service  with  kindness,  gentle- 
ness and  courtesy  attended  at  all  times  with 
firmness  aiid  fixedness  of  purpose,  so  that,  in 
after  years,  you  may  rejoice  that  you  made 
these  virtues  a  fixed  habit  in  your  behavior  as  a 
student. 

I  have  said  that  habits  formed  here  will  fol- 
low you  throughout  your  lives.  I  therefore 
charge  you  to  add  to  the  above  good,  qualities 
a  scrupulous  neatness  and  care  of  your  per- 
sonal appearance,  never  permitting  yourselves 
to  go  into  the  infirmary  in  a  less  presentable 
condition  than  you  would  presume  to  go  into 
your  private  ofiices,  remembering  that  a  life  of 
service  demands  an  attention  to  the  little  re-

finements  of  detail,  in  the  presence  of  the  poor 
and  needy,  as  well  as  in  that  of  the  rich  and 
influential. 

I  have  many  times  been  shocked  by  the  slov- 
enly appearance  of  students  at  the  operating 
chair,  and  have  found  it  difficult  to  refrain  from 
administering  a  well  deserved  rebuke,  knowing 
full  well  that  in  any  given  case  it  was  the  unde- 
served scorn  of  the  operator  for  the  charity 
patient,  which  prompted  him  to  be  careless  re- 
garding proper  attention  to  the  necessary  de- 
tails of  his  toilet. 

Though  you  go  from  the  vulcanizer  to  the 
chair,  always  remember  that  you  have  no  right 
to  begin  your  operation  until  you  have  re- 
moved all  traces  of  the  laboratory  from  your 
hands  and  clothing.  Thoughtlessness  in  this 
regard  must  needs  be  overlooked,  if  indeed 
noticed,  by  those  whom  you  serve  here,  but, 
slovenly  habits  formed  in  student  days  will 
surely  work  you  grievous  harm  in  after  life. 
Warnings  of  such  a  nature  would  be  needless, 
and  really  apply  to  a  small  proportion  of  stu- 
dents; if  all  approached  the  tasks  before  them 
with  high  ideals,  and  with  the  thought  deeply 
rooted  in  their  hearts,  that  they  must  never 
give  anything  less  than  the  best  in  their  ser- 
vice as  professional  men. 

Finally,  take  this  thought  away  with  you. 
The  men  whose  duty  it  is  to  present  and  teach 
the  various  subjects  during  your  several  courses 
are  fully  imbued  with  this  exalted  idea  of  ser- 
vice in  your  behalf.  I  therefore  ask  you  to 
meet  them  in  the  same  self-sacrificing  spirit, 
ever  bearing  in  mind  that  you  are  engaged  in 
a  serious  search  for  more  light,  and  refrain 
from  any  act  which  may  hamper  them  in  the 
noble  work  of  their  life's  mission. 

I  trust  that  your  course  in  life  will  be  such 
that  each  of  you  may  receive  the  highest  com- 
mendation at  its  close ;  that  which  was  given 
by  the  Great  Physician  to  the  one  who  had 
properly  used  the  talents  entrusted  to  his  care, 
"Well  done  good  and  faithful  servant." 


Customer:  "Waiter,  this  is  the  first  tender 
steak  I've  ever  had  in  your  shop." 

Waiter :  "My  goodness !  You  must  have  got 
the  guv'nor's." — Tit-Bits. 


Even  the  "bugs"  see  the  beginning  of  the  end 
and  are  resigned  to  fate. 

POST  MORTEM  ODE 

Ameba  Buccalis 

Met  old  Staphlococcus, 

And  remarked  as  he  heaved  a  deep  sigh, 

"Don't  try  to  digest  a 

Blamed  tablet  Alcresta 

Ipecac,  if  you  don't  want  to  die. 

The  jig's  up  I'm  afraid, 

For  our  game's  had  a  raid. 

That  we've  played  so  securely  and  long; 

For  they  know  our  number 

And  just  where  we  slumber, 

And  now  everthing's  going  dead  wrong. 

I've  tried  to  be  cheerful. 

But  I'm  very  fearful. 

We'll  be  wiped  off  the  face  of  the  earth; 

Folks  have  now  gotten  wise, 

How  to  kill  us  poor  guys, 

And  that's  just  why  I've  lost  all  my  mirth. 

Our  hosts  have,  confound  'em, 

A  new  gun  around  'em. 

They  call  it  Alcresta  begorry ; 

And  it  shoots  Ipecac, 

Just  in  front  of  their  back, 

No  longer  I  say  'I  should  worry.' 

I'm  afraid  of  that  stuff, 

And  it  sure  aint  no  bluff, 

'Cause  it  killed  all  the  family  but  me, 

It  has  'bout  got  my  goat. 

And  my  heart's  in  my  throat. 

For  the  death  of  me  I  plainly  see. 

So  old  comrade  good-by, 

I'm  at  last  doomed  to  die, 

Thus  inscribed  shall  my  epitaph  be : — 

'Ameba  molested, 

Ipecac  Alcrested 

Was  the  darned  thing  that  killed  him  you  see."

VENUS  DEVOID  OF  CHARM 


The  mutilation  or  the  destruction  of  the  beauti- 
ful calls  forth  the  just  indignation  of  an  enlight- 
ened age.  Genseric  and  his  wild  hordes  swooped 
down  upon  Rome,  and  the  Imperial  City  for 
fifteen  days  was  given  over  to  the  excesses  of  bar- 
barians. By  day  the  city  resounded  with  the  stroke 
of  the  ax,  and  by  night  was  illumined  with  the 
glare  of  burning  temples.  At  length  Genseric  sailed 
away  with  his  plunder,  leaving  the  smouldering 
ruins  of  once  beautiful  temples  as  a  monument  to 
his  infamy.  His  wanton  act  has  become  proverb- 
ial, and  the  word  VANDALISM  stands  as  an 
everlasting  protest  against  all  acts  of  destructive 
wantoness.  So  powerful  has  this  protest  become 
during  the  centuries  that  even  the  plea  of  military

necessity  hardly  justifies  the  destruction  of  objects 
of  historic  or  aestlietic  interest. 

There  is  little  likelihood  that  any  of  us  will  have 
the  opportunity,  even  if  we  should  have  the  inclina- 
tion, to  practice  VANDALISM  on  so  colossal  a 
scale ;  but  each  of  us  is  guilty  in  some  petty  dgree 
almost  every  day.  It  is  against  a  specific  act  of 
VANDALISM  of  this  type  that  this  article  is 
directed;  namely  the  defacing  of  the  beautiful 
Doric  columns  of  the  old  University  building. 
Architecturally  this  structure  is  a  classic  and 
should  excite  our  admiration;  historically  it  is 
venerable  and  should  inspire  us  with  respect. 

A  certain  sage  of  antiquity  states  that  hair  is 
woman's  greatest  glory,  adding  that  even  Venus, 
devoid  of  hair,  would  cease  to  please.  In  no  less 
sense  are  these  beautiful  columns  the  crowning 
beauty  of  our  classic  edifice. 

Let  us  remember,  then,  that  when  disfigured  by 
the  marks  of  dirty  hands  and  still  dirtier  feet, 
they  too,  like  Venus  robbed  of  her  crowning  glory, 
cease  to  please. 


And  so  it  is  in  greater  or  less  degree  with  many 
things  in  and  about  the  University  buildings. 
Many  of  the  young  men  are  thoughtless  and  fail 
to  respect  the  rights  of  the  institution  by  safe- 
guarding its  property.  We  see  laboratory  equip- 
ment carelessly  destroyed,  hallways  defaced, 
lockers  broken,  floors  besmeared  and  bespattered 
v/ith  the  by-product  of  the  pleasure  to  many  of 
tobacco  chewing.  The  authorities  have  tried  and 
are  trj-ing  to  better  equip,  to  make  attractive  this 
educational  home  of  yours  and  you  should  not  only 
respect  the  eflfort  but  aid  in  the  accomplishment 
of  the  object.

In  Equity. 


To  the  Honorable,  The  Judges  of  Said  Univer- 
sity : 
The  petition  of  your  orator  respectfully  shows : 

1.  Your  orator  is,  and  has  been  for  two  years, 
a  student  of  law  at  the  University  of  Maryland, 
and  as  such  student  has  come  into  contact  with 
the  law,  thereby  absorbing  some  of  the  principles 
taught  by  Your  Honors  at  said  University. 

2.  Your  orator  has  asked  the  students  of  the 
University  of  Maryland  their  opinion  as  to  the 
merits  and  desirability  of  having  incorporated  in 
the  Law  School  of  said  University  a  post  gradu- 
ate course ;  but  having  mistaken  his  forum,  your 
orator  now  addresses  his  petition  unto  this  Honor- 
able Court. 

3.  Said  request  was  published  in  the  August 
issue  of  the  University  Gazette,  in  which  your 
orator  stated  that  in  his  opinion  there  were  cer- 
tain very  important  branches  of  the  law  which 
were  not  taught  by  Your  Honors  at  said  Univer- 
sity ;  that  a  knowledge  of  these  branches  was 
absolutely  necessary  to  a  student  who  intended  to 
take  up  the  profession ;  and  that  in  his  opinion  a 
sufficient  number  of  students  would  take  up  the 
post  graduate  course  to  warrant  its  adoption. 

4.  Your  orator  believes  and  therefore  avers  that 
lectures  on  the  History  and  Sources  of  the  Law, 
Politics,  Workmens  Compensation  Law  and  the 
Public  Service  Commission  are  very  essential, 
and  that  one  or  two  other  subjects  might  be  prof- 
itably included. 

5.  Your  orator  has  frequently  heard  from 
many  of  Your  Honors  the  statement  that  the

number  of  lectures  they  had  on  the  subject  were 
barely  sufficient  to  cover  the  course ;  said  remarks 
being  along  the  following  lines : — "In  the  few 
number  of  lectures  I  have  been  allotted,  I  can't  go 
into  detail  on  this  subject"  and  "I  have  little  time 
to  go  through  the  course,  so  I  can't  take  up  that 
phase  of  the  subject." 

6.  When  looking  over  and  discussing  the  bar 
examination  question  of  the  previous  years,  in 
preparation  for  the  bar  examination  of  the  State 
Board  of  Law  Examiners  of  the  State  of  Mary- 
land, your  orator  has  heard  from  many  students 
remarks  to  the  effect  that  "They  did  not  teach  us 
anything  about  that  in  School," ;  and  the  Inter- 
mediate Class  oftimes  hears  of  many  new  things 
in  the  Practice  Court  when  the  learned  Judge 
Sappington  hears  and  discusses  questions  raised 
by  the  preliminary  calls. 

For  These  Reasons  Your  Orator  Prays: 

1.  That  Your  Honors  in  the  next  term  of 
Court  take  up  the  question  of  a  post  graduate 
course ;   and 

2.  That  your  orator  may  have  such  other  and 
further  relief  as  the  nature  of  his  petition  may 
require  and  which  unto  Your  Honors  may  seem 
meet.

RESOLUTIONS  ADOPTED  BY  THE  FAC- 
ULTY OF  PHYSIC  OF  THE  UNIVER- 
SITY OF  MARYLAND  ON  THE  DEATH 
OF  DR.  ST.  CLAIR  SPRUILL. 


The  Faculty  of  Physic  of  the  University  of 
Maryland  wishes  to  give  expression  to  the  loss  it 
has  sustained  in  the  death  of  Prof.  St.  Clair 
Spruill,  who  for  over  twenty-five  years  was  as- 
sociated with  the  work  of  the  University  and  who 
by  his  industry  and  loyalty  contributed  to  the 
advancement  of  her  best  interests. 

Prof.  Spruill  graduated  in  the  class  of  1890 
and  the  following  year  became  a  resident  physi- 
cian in  the  University  Hospital.  He  later  became 
medical  superintendent  of  the  Hospital  and  for 
a  number  of  years  gave  a  most  valuable  service 
to  the  institution.  He  was  largely  instrumental 
in  the  building  of  the  new  University  Hospital, 
and  until  his  death  was  attending  surgeon  to  the 
institution.  He  was  elected  to  the  chair  of  clinical 
surgery  in  the  Faculty  of  Physic,  which  position 
he  filled  with  abihty  and  distinction. 

As  a  surgeon.  Prof.  Spruill  was  careful  and 
painstaking  in  his  work  and  by  his  industry  he 
achieved  wide  distinction  in  his  profession. 

Prof.  Spruill  was  respected  and  beloved  by  all 
who  know  him  and  his  memory  will  ever  be  held 
in  high  esteem  by  his  friends,  patients,  and  asso- 
ciates in  the  Faculty. 

Be  It  Resolved;  That  a  copy  of  these  resolu- 
tions be  placed  on  the  minutes  of  the  Faculty  and 
that  a  copy  be  sent  to  the  family  of  Prof.  Charles 
W.  Mitchell,  his  most  intimate  friend,  in  whose 
house  Prof.  Spruill  had  lived  most  happily  for 
many  years,  where  he  enjoyed  the  congenial  ties  of 
sincere  affection  and  of  lasting  friendship. 


Bruce  C.  Lightner,  LL.  B.,class  of  1915,  who  on 
September  10th,  left  for  Hagerstown,  Md.,  has 
located  at  the  Maryland  Apartments. 


R.  Enoll  Kanode,  LL.  B.  '15,  of  the  firm  of 
Kanode  and  Lightner,  Hagerstown,  Md.,  paid  a 
visit  to  the  institution  on  Thursday,  October  14. 
He  states  that  business  is  very  fair  in  Hagerstown 
and  that  he  and  Mr.  Lightner  are  boosting  the 
State  of  prosperity  by  depositing  large  and  num- 
erous retainers  from  satisfied  clients. 


LAW— SENIOR. 


At  the  first  meeting  of  the  Senior  Class  of  the 
Law  Department  of  the  University,  held  on  Fri- 
day evening,  October  1st  1915,  the  following 
officers  were  elected :  President,  W.  Lester  Bald- 
win; Vice-President,  Wendell  D.  Allen;  Secre- 
tary, Dudley  G.  Cooper;  Treasurer,  Edward  L- 
G.  Wright;  Historian,  Andrew  W.  Pardew. 

A  spirit  of  unanimity  pervaded  the  entire  meet- 
ing and  under  the  leadership  of  the  officers 
elected  the  outlook  for  the  present  senior  law  class 
is  most  encouraging.

LAW— INTERMEDIATE. 


At  a  meeting  held  recently  for  election  of  officers 
in  this  class  for  the  year  1915-16,  Hans  Froelicher, 
Jr.  was  re-elected  president  by  unanimous  vote. 
The  other  officers  elected  were  Vice-President, 
Hooper  S.  Miles ;  Secretary,  E.  W.  Beatty ;  Treas- 
urer, Wm.  H.  Maynard.

It  would  be  far  more  to  the  advantage  of  the 
class  if,  when  members  are  questioning  the  lectur- 
ers, the  rest  of  the  audience  would  be  decent 
enough  to  refrain  from  vociferous  demonstra- 
tions of  disapproval,  discontent,  and  impatience. 
It  is  equally  unfair  to  the  student  asking  the 
question  and  to  the  members  of  the  class  who 
desire  the  benefit  of  the  answer.  Many  a  hazy 
conception  is  clarified,  many  a  Gordian  knot 
severed,  many  enlightening  remarks  are  elicited 
from  the  lecturers  because  of  queries  from  con- 
scientious students.  You  will  recall  that  only 
recently,  Mr.  Ullman  expressed  the  same  senti- 
ment when  a  question  put  by  a  member  of  the  class 
resulted  in  scraping  of  feet  and  cat-calls  intended 
to  intimidate  the  questioner.  Let's  be  fair,  fel- 
lows! 


After  reading  Mr.  Makover's  "Slam"  in  last 
month's  issue  of  this  paper,  which  was  a  plea  for 
silence  in  the  library,  we  note  that  as  a  result 
pandemonium  still  reigns.  In  this  abode  of 
demons  we  found  Mak  on  a  very  recent  occasion 
the  most  lawless  and  disorderly  of  the  species. 
Verbum  sat. 


Mr.  W.  N.  Arnold  of  our  class,  and  of  the  firm 
of  O'Mara  and  Angelmier,  has  been  busy  as  a 
bee  lately.  Our  spies  report  that  the  said  W.  H. 
Arnold,  of  the  said  class,  recently  tried  a  case  be- 
fore Justice  Hull,  said  case  being  lost  by  the  afore- 
said Arnold,  because  the  Justice  held  that  the  arg- 
ument of  counsel  was  a  direct  violation  of  the 
Rule  Against  Perpetuities. 


Cohen  and  Spector,  heavyweight  champions  of 
class  1917  Barristers,  won  a  great  legal  victory  in 
Part  III  of  the  Practice  Court  of  the  Law  School 
of  the  University  of  Maryland,  at  the  opening 
session  of  that  Court.  The  battle  went  for  ten 
rounds,  the  decision  going  to  the  heavyweights. 
The  legal  giants  had  the  punch  and  rushed  their 
opponents,  till  when  the  bell  sounded  after  the 
seventh  round  the  other  side  was  groggy  and  ex- 
hausted. Thereupon  arose  Mr.  Spector  and  res- 
pectfully submitted  that  their  opponents  failed  to 
prove  the  property  to  be  of  an  unlawful  nature, 
to-wit :  a  gambling  device.  Those  at  the  ringside 
expected  a  knock-out,  but  the  end  of  the  encoun-

A  Student  Dental  Society. 

Such  an  institution  as  a  society  for  the  dental 
students  is  not  only  possible,  but  such  oppor- 
tunities for  benefits  is  most  advisable.  The  Law 
Department  has  its  debating  society  to  school  its 
young  men  in  the  art  of  public  speaking;  the 
Medical  Department  has  its  Randolph  Winslow 
Surgical  Society  to  offer  opportunity  for  develop- 
ment of  the  young  man  as  a  force  in  advancing 
the  science  of  medicine.  The  field  of  dentistry 
is  as  broad  as  either  law  or  medicine,  then  why

not  have  such  an  organization  for  the  benefit  of 
our  dental  students. 

There  are  many  questions  of  close  interest  to 
llie  dental  students  that  discussion  would  clarify 
for  him ;  there  are  problems  wholly  dark  and  ap- 
parently almost  unsurmountable  which  explana- 
tion would  make  him  master  of.  With  the  present 
senior  and  junior  classes  ever  ready  to  adopt  the 
thing  which  will  best  serve  their  interest  it  would 
be  no  hard  task  to  organize  such  a  society. 

Any  of  the  necessary  details  might  be  worked 
out  at  a  meeting  called  for  the  purpose.  And  the 
papers  should  be  prepared,  read,  and  discussed  at 
meetings  held  at  stated  times,  and  to  which  mem- 
bers of  the  faculty  might  be  present  to  render  as- 
sistance and  service.  Let's  hear  from  others  on 
the  subject  and  get  the  movement  on  foot.  If 
all  will  help  we  can  benefit  greatly  and  so  initiate 
a  feature  of  permanent  good  to  both  the  students 
and  university.

Dr.  Guerra's  Resignation. 

All  who  have  been  associated  with  the  dental 
school  for  the  past  few  years,  will  regret  to  learn 
of  the  resignation  of  Dr.  M.  G.  Guerra,  chief 
demonstrator  of  practical  prosthesis.  His  resig- 
nation was  recently  handed  to  the  faculty  to  take

effect  the  first  of  November,  when  he  will  leave 
for  Boston,  Mass.,  to  engage  in  the  practice  of 
dentistry. 

Dr.  Guerra  is  of  Portugese  birth  and  after 
having  completed  his  education  and  travel  in  Eu- 
rope and  South  Africa  came  to  America  to  take 
up  the  study  of  dentistry.  He  chose  the  Univer- 
sity of  Maryland  as  the  school  best  suited  to  his 
needs  and  entered  the  institution  in  the  fall  of 
1911.  He  graduated  in  the  spring  of  1914  with 
second  honors  in  a  class  of  eighty-five  men. 
Throughout  his  school  career  he  was  recognized 
as  an  unusualy  talented  and  capable  man  and  upon 
graduation  was  appointed  chief  demonstrator  of 
prosthetic  denistry  in  which  capacity  he  has  con- 
tinued to  the  present  time,  discharging  the  duties 
of  his  office  efficently  and  faithfully. 

Dr.  Guerra's  worth  will  be  missed  by  the  en- 
tire student  body  and  his  place  will  be  hard  to 
fill.  He  has  ever  been  popular  as  a  good  fellow 
and  his  ever  readiness  to  assist  his  friends,  and 
the  student  body  generally  has  caused  a  deep 
feeling  of  regret  on  the  part  of  all  at  his  de- 
parture. May  success  and  good  fortune  ever  be 
his  as  a  diligent  worker  and  earnest  soul  richly

IvYMPHATlCS   IN   PuLP  TiSSUE. 

Not  long  since  we  heard  a  demonstrator  of 
operative  dentistry  remark  that  no  lymphatics  have 
ever  been  demonstrated  in  pulp  tissue.  We  offer 
the  following  experiment  which  proves  lymphatic 
existence. 

Experiment  to  prove  the  existence  of  definite 
Lymph  channels  in  the  Pulp  of  a  tooth. 

The  gum  tissue  of  a  cat  is  injected  with  a  solu- 
tion of  Prussian  Blue.  After  fifteen  minutes  the 
cat  is  killed  and  bled.  After  the  blood  vessels 
are  washed  with  a  warm  normal  saline  solution 
they  are  injected  with  Camiine  Gelatin  with  pres- 
sure sufficient  to  force  the  Gelatin  through  all 
the  capillaries. 

A  section  is  then  made  of  the  pulp  of  one  of  the 
teeth  near  which  the  Prussian  Blue  was  injected. 
By  means  of  a  microscope  it  is  possible  to  distin- 
guish the  blood  vessels  in  this  section  by  the 
Carmine  that  they  contain.  The  Prussian  Blue 
can  be  seen  to  have  penetrated  into  the  pulp  and 


to  have  stained  certain  vessels  blue.  As  all  the 
blood  vessels  have  been  stained  red  these  must  be 
lymphatic  vessels.  B,  Dental,  '17.

DENTAL— SENIOR. 


The  senior  class  has  been  increased  by  the  fol- 
lowing men :  Jones,  from  Medical  College  of 
Virginia;  Winner,  from  University  of  Buffalo; 
Wolfe,  Woods  and  Via  from  Ohio  College  of 
Dental  Surgery.  All  are  good  men  and  we  wel- 
come them  into  our  fellowship. 


"Casey"  Bell,  who  was  forced  through  illness 
to  discontinue  his  studies  last  spring  has  returned 
to  resume  his  study. 


C.  R.  Martin  and  R.  F.  Darwin  have  not  as 
yet  returned.  We  trust  they  will  soon  appear 
and  hold  our  class  to  its  original  membership. 


The  latest  innovations  in  crown  and  bridge 
work  has  been  contributed  by  an  over  zealous 
senior  in  the  form  of  a  "Porcelain  Pin"  for 
Davis  crowns.     Oh,  you  Jim ! 


Funderburk  carries  on  encyclopedia  to  take 
his  notes  in.  If  "Fundy"  can  memorize  all  the 
notes  he  can  place  in  that  volume  he  will  go  some. 
The  book  weighs  18  pounds. 


The  following  officers  have  been  elected  for 
the  senior  year: 

J.  Reese  Funderburk,  President ;  Walter  E. 
Lena,  Vice-President;  Albert  Z.  Aldridge,  Sec- 
retary ;  John  D.  McLeod,  Treasurer ;  T.  Oliver 
Broadwater,  Editor,  Terra  Mariae;  Alfred  G. 
Bryant,  Critic ;  Thomas  J.  Harper,  Historian ; 
William  F.  Martin,  Poet;  Edwin  B.  Denton, 
Prophet;  Roy  P.  May,  Orator;  Elmer  E.  Hobbs, 
Sergeant-at-Arms ;  Gerald  I.  Brandon,  Artist; 
Robert  F.  Darwin,  Business  Manager,  Terra 
Mariae. 


Bryant  and  Funderburk  were  both  successful  in 
passing  off  a  number  of  branches  on  the  Massa- 
chusetts and  South  Carolina  boards  respectively. 


Blevins  tried  the  matrimonial  board  and  suc-

DENTAL— JUNIOR. 


Wasn't  Genuine. 

A  few  days  ago  Vina  was  rapturously  praising 
the  beauty  and  perfection  of  one  of  the  lower 
extremities  belonging  to  a  lady  across  the  way. 
The  only  fault  he  had  to  find  lay  in  the  fact  that 
she  limped  a  little.  "Oh,  Dr.  Guerra",  he  ex- 
claimed, "wasn't  that  a  peach!"  Dr.  Guerra, 
however,  happened  to  know  that  the  woman  pos- 
sessed a  cork  leg. 


Corrigan  has  been  chasing  chickens  during  the 
summer  at  the  Hotel  Manor,  Stamford,  Conn., 
and  as  he  stated,  "feeling  like  a  brick." 


Demarco  spent  a  few  weeks  in  the  infirmary. 
To  show  us  how  much  he  liked  the  infirmary  he 
has  been  bestowing  fruit  upon  us  all  the  summer. 


After  having  spent  part  of  the  summer  in  the 
infirmary,  Cramer  decided  to  end  his  vacation  at 
Wildwood,  N.  J.  He  stated  that  he  was  almost 
an  official  censor  on  bathing  suits  and  that  he 
found  it  much  more  interesting  than  cleaning 
teeth. 


"Sammy"  initiated  the  Freshies  to  the  innova- 
tion honorarily  established  among  the  Juniors  of 
giving  prosthetic  demonstrations.  Each  Junior 
is  to  have  his  turn,  and  we  hope  that  the  Fresh- 
men will  find  us  handy. 


"Feyther,"  said  Corrigan,  "Wasn't  it  Patrick 
Henry  that  said,  'Let  us  have  peace?"'  "Niver," 
said  Feyther.  "Nobody  by  the  name  of  Patrick 
iver  said  thot." 


( Coon  to  Sammy)  "Boss,  dis  yuh  toof  am  mity 
nigh  killin  me !  How  much  will  it  cost  to  hab  de 
blame  thing  yanked  out?" 

(Sammy)  "Twenty-five  cents,  to  keep  it  from 
hurting." 

(Coon)  "But,  loogy  yuh,  sah — I  hasn't  got  but 
fifteen  cents  to  me  name ;  kain't  yo  all  pull  it  out 
half  way  for  dat?" 

(Sammy)  "Well,  gimme  the  fifteen." 


The  Junior  class  is  now  doing  hard  work  under 
a  heavy  schedule,  with  30  members.  The  new 
men  are:  Acorn,  Betts,  Cline,  Coyne,  Emerson, 
Gareau,  Glandille,  Marsh,  Sabater  and  Witten. 


Look  for  the  puzzle  joke  in  this:  Glandille 
betts  cline  acorn  coyne  emerson  marsh  gareau ; 
sabater  witten. 

The  Junior  class  had  its  election  on  Thursday, 
October  21.  The  class  officers  are  as  follows : 
President,  Manley;  Vice-President,  Corrigan; 
Secretary,  Demarco;  Treasurer,  Lancaster;  Ser- 
geant-at-Arms,  Cramer;  Executive  Committee, 
Santoni ;  Chairman,  Culler  and  Coble ;  Class  His- 
torian, Betz ;  class  artist.  Palmer. 


Miller  "blew  in"  from  Maine  on  the  twentieth, 
and  he  says  it  seems  like  old  times  to  be  among 
the  fellows. 


"Rough"  Lena,  who  conductored  on  the  Bay 
State  Railways  this  past  summer  was  presented 
with  a  handsome  gold  watch  for  being  the  most 
popular  employe  of  the  company  at  Lawrence,

University,  New  York  City,  doing  graduate  work 
in  modern  languages.  Messrs.  Brown,  Gleason 
and  Shepherd,  of  last  year's  Pre-Medical  course, 
spent  a  week-end  at  the  college.  Mr.  C.  F.  Horine, 
also  of  the  Pre-Medical  department,  is  studying 
medicine  in  the  University  of  Maryland  and  spent 
a  day  at  the  college.

engage  in  private  nursing.  She  is  located  at  1403 
Madison  Avenue. 


Miss  Stella  W.  Ricketts,  class  of  1911,  who  has

napolis, Md.,  has  tendered  her  resignation.  Miss 
Bell  has  gone  to  New  York  to  take  a  special 
course  at  Columbia  University,  in  the  department 
of  which  Miss  Nutting,  a  famous  nurse  and 
noted  woman,  one  time  head  of  the  nurses  at 
Johns  Hopkins  Hospital,  Baltimore,  is  chief. 

During  her  several  years'  stay  in  Annapolis 
Miss  Bell  made  many  friends,  who  were  very 
loath  to  part  with  her.  The  splendid  work  she 
has  accomplished  at  the  Emergency  Hospital  is 
a  lasting  monument  to  her  executive  ability, 
strength  of  character,  efficiency  and  capability 
as  a  hospital  superintendent.  She  carries  with 
her  in  her  new  work  our  best  wishes. 

Miss  Bell  succeeded  Miss  Rosamond  Minnis, 
also  of  the  class  of  1907,  as  superintendent  of 
the  Emergency  Hospital.

BACKBONE    AND    WISHBONE. 


Don't  you  ever  wear  your  wishbone,  where  your  backbone  ought  to  be, 

Is  a  maxim  full  of  wisdom,  and  applies  to  you  and  me. 

For  the  fellow  who  is  wishing  for  the  things  to  come  his  way. 

Is  the  one  who  puts  off  doing  today's  work,  another  day. 

This  life  is  but  a  mirror,  laugh  and  smiles  come  back  to  greet  us. 
Scowl  at  fate  and  just  as  surely  frowning  features  ever  meet  us, 
If  it  hurts,  just  grin  and  bear  it,  what's  the  use  to  cry  and  curse, 
Make  the  best  of  circumstances,  take  what  comes,  it  might  be  worse. 

If  you  don't  get  what  you're  wanting,  want  the  things  that  you  can  get. 
You  can't  tell  in  the  beginning  just  how  high  your  mark  to  set. 
If  your  job  don't  suit  your  notion,  and  you  think  the  other  would, 
Just  remember  that  the  other  fellow  would  swap,  maybe,  if  he  could. 

This  old  world  is  full  of  people  and  a  year  is  made  of  days, 
Takes  a  lot  of  folks  to  fill  up  all  the  time  in  many  ways. 
But  if  you  just  keep  on  doing  all  you  can,  your  very  best. 
Some  day  opportunity  '11  open  and  you'll  find  you  lead  the  rest  . 

Life  don't  look  alike  to  people  looking  at  it  different  ways, 
Better  strike  an  average  somehow  on  the  rain  and  shiny  days. 
Wishes  won't  get  there  like  liustle,  grit  and  push  win  out,  you'll  see. 
Don't  you  ever  wear  your  wishbone,  where  your  backbone  ought  to  be.

ADDRESS  ON  THE  DEVELOPMENT  OF 

MEDICAL  EDUCATION  IN 

MARYLAND. 


Randolph    Winslow,   M.D.,   LL.D. 


The  early  settlers  of  Maryland,  like  those  of 
the  other  American  colonies,  were  too  much  oc- 
cupied in  overcoming  their  physical  surround- 
ings and  in  establishing  homes  in  the  wilder- 
ness to  give  much  thought  to  educational  mat- 
ters;  nevertheless,  we  find  that  in  1696  the  Gen- 
eral Assembly,  shortly  after  the  removal  of  the 
seat  of  government  from  St.  Mary's  City  to  An- 
napolis, founded  the  first  free  school  in  this 
country,  under  the  name  of  King  \Vi'lliam's 
School,  which  in  1784  became  St.  John's  Col- 
lege. 

In  the  charter  of  St.  John's  College  is  is  ex- 
pressly ordered  that  it  shall  unite  with  Wash- 
ington College,  at  Chestertown,  founded  in  1782, 
to  form  "one  university,  by  the  name  of  the 
University  of  Maryland." 

Owing  to  difficulties  of  communication,  and 
[lerhaps  to  other  causes,  this  union  was  never 
made  effective;  but  the  provision  remains  in  the 
charter  of  St.  John's  College  to  this  day. 

In  1907,  by  a  contract  of  affiliation  with  the 
present  University  of  Maryland,  St.  John's  Col- 
lege became  again  a  member  of  a  university 
bearing  the  name  of  the  State. 

Previous  to  the  Revolutionary  War  there  was 
but  one  medical  college  in  the  Colonies — the  Col- 
lege of  Medicine  of  Philadelphia — chartered  in 
1765,  now  known  as  the  University  of  Pennsyl- 
vania. The  first  graduate  of  this  school  was 
Dr.  John  Archer,  of  Harford  county,  Maryland, 
who  received  the  degree  of  Bachelor  of  Medi- 
cine in  1768.  His  medical  diploma  was,  there- 
fore, the  first  one  issued  in  America,  and  is  now 
a  priceless  possession  of  the  Medical  and  Chi- 
rurgical  Faculty  of  Maryland. 

Doubtless  there  were  physicians   in   the  colo- 


nial times  who  were  versed  in  all  the  medical 
lore  of  those  days,  who  had  studied  in  the  best 
schools  in  Europe ;  but  as  population  increased 
and  became  more  scattered  it  was  impossible  to 
secure  physicians  of  this  type,  and  the  young 
men  who  wished  to  become  physicians  appren- 
ticed themselves  to  older  practitioners  and  re- 
ceived such  training  as  could  be  obtained  in  this 
way.  Even  as  late  as  1807  only  about  fifteen 
per  cent,  of  the  physicians  in  the  State  were 
graduates  of  medical   schools. 

In  1755  Charles  Frederick  Wiesenthal,  a  native 
of  Prussia,  settled  in  Baltimore.  He  is  said  to 
have  been  physician  to  Frederick  the  Great,  and 
he  was  certainly  a  man  of  exceptional  attain- 
ments. He  exercised  a  great  influence  in  the 
city  and  State  until  his  death,  in  1789.  His  son, 
Andrew,  who  also  received  his  training  abroad, 
was  the  first  to  give  regular  courses  of  instruc- 
tion to  medical  students  in  Maryland.  He  lec- 
tured on  anatomy,  physiology,  pathology  and 
surgery  in  1789-90,  and — associated  with  Dr 
George  Buchannan,  who  lectured  on  diseases  of 
women  and  children — essayed  to  found  a  medical 
school,  which  project,  however,  was  never  ac- 
complished. 

The  physicians  of  the  State,  however,  becom- 
ing more  and  more  convinced  that  some  steps 
were  necessary  to  combat  the  ignorance  and  the 
quackery  that  prevailed,  founded  the  Medical 
and  Chirurgical  Faculty  of  Maryland  in  1799. 
This  Faculty,  which  is  the  State  Medical  Society, 
of  which  most  of  us  here  present  are  proud  to 
be  members,  was  chartered  by  the  Legislature 
in  January  1799.  By  the  provisions  of  its  char- 
ter the  right  of  licensure  to  practice  in  the  State 
was  vested  in  its  Board  of  Examiners,  which 
right  was  exercised  for  forty  years,  when  it  fell 
into  desuetude,  owing  to  an  act  of  Legislature 
(hat  materially  impaired  its  usefulness. 

.A.fter  many  years  the  right  to  license  physicians 
is  again  entrusted  to  the  Medical  and  Chirurgical

Faculty  through  a  special  Board  of  iledical  Ex- 
aminers. Some  of  us  worked  hard  to  secure 
this  tardy  justice,  which  was  finally  accorded 
in  1892. 

Upton  Scott,  of  Annapolis,  was  the  first  presi- 
dent of  the  Medical  and  Chirurgical  Faculty.  He 
was  born  in  Ireland,  and  received  his  medical 
training  in  Glasgow  and  Elinbi:rgh.  Migrating 
to  America  in  1753,  he  soon  became  one  of  the 
most  successful  and  most  esteemed  physicians  in 
Maryland  and,  though  seventy-seven  years  of 
age,  was  unanimously  chosen  to  guide  the  des- 
tinies of  the  new  enterprise  into  paths  of  useful- 
ness. 

In  1802  Dr.  John  B.  Davidge  began  to  give 
courses  on  anatomy  and  other  branches  of  medi- 
cal science  to  students  in  Baltimore  and,  in  asso- 
ciation with  Dr.  James  Cocke,  continued  these 
classes  until  1807.  He  built  an  anatomical  the- 
atre for  the  use  of  his  students,  but  this  was  de- 
stroyed by  a  mob,  as  was  that  of  Wiesenthal  a 
decade  earlier. 

In  1807  the  charter  for  the  College  of  Medi- 
cine of  Maryland  was  secured  from  the  Legis- 
lature through  the  efforts  of  Davidge  and  Cocke : 
and  the  school  at  once  began  its  courses  of  in- 
struction, which  have  continued  without  inter- 
mission to  the  present  time.  Chronologically 
this  college  was  the  fifth  to  be  founded  in  the 
United  States :  The  College  of  Medicine  of  Phil- 
adelphia was  established  in  1765,  Harvard  Med- 
ical College  in  1783,  Dartmouth  in  1798,  and  The 
College  of  Physicians  and  Surgeons  of  New  York 
in  1807,  a  few  months  prior  to  the  founding  of 
the  College  of  IMedicine  of  Maryland.  All  these 
schools  are  still  in  active  operation. 

In  1812  The  College  of  Medicine  of  Maryland 
was  ordered  to  annex  other  faculties  and  to  form 
a  university  to  be  known  as  the  University  of 
Maryland. 

The  building  in  which  we  are  now  assembled 
was  erected  in  ISll  and  is  a  reproduction  of  the 
Pantheon  at  Rome.  It  was  at  the  time  of  its 
erection  the  handsomest  medical  school  building 
in  the  United  States,  and  is  now  the  oldest  col- 
lege building  used  for  medical  instruction  in  this 
country.  In  the  Anatomical  Hall,  just  above  us. 
the  Marquis  de  la  Fayette  received  the  honorary 
degree  of  Doctor  of  Laws  in  1824,  and  in  1825 


the  honorary  degree  of  Doctor  of  Medicine  was 
conferred  on  Ephraim  McDowell,  the  father  of 
ovariotomy — the  only  medical  degree  that  he 
ever  possessed. 

In  1813  a  young  man  named  Horatio  Gates 
Jameson  was  graduated  at  this  institution,  who 
was  destined  to  become  a  famous  man.  He 
was  a  bold  and  original  surgeon  and  a  pains- 
taking investigator:  and  his  opinions  and  con- 
clusions, though  at  variance  with  those  of  his 
contemporaries,    are   now    accepted    as    correct. 

Dr.  Henry  O.  Marcy,  of  Boston,  read  before 
the  Southern  Surgical  and  Gynecological  Asso- 
ciation, at  the  meeting  held  in  Baltimore  in  1906 
a  paper  entitled  "A  brief  sketch  of  one  of  Balti- 
more's greatest  men,  Horatio  Gates  Jameson 
M.D. :  His  most  valuable  contribution  to  surgery 
—the  occlusion  of  arteries  by  the  buried  animal 
ligature.'' 

Doctor  Jameson  aspired  to  a  seat  in  the  fac- 
ulty of  the  University  of  Maryland,  but  when  he 
failed  to  realize  his  ambition  he  looked  about 
him  for  other  avenues  of  professional  advance- 
ment. In  1827  he  secured  authorization  from 
Washington  College,  Pennsylvania,  to  establish 
the  Washington  Medical  College  in  Baltimore : 
and  later  this  medical  school  was  authorized  by 
the  Maryland  Legislature  to  annex  faculties  and 
form  an  institution  to  be  known  as  Washington 
University.  The  W'ashington  University  Medi- 
cal School  had  a  somewhat  checkered  career  un- 
til 1851,  when  it  closed  its  doors. 

At  the  beginning  of  the  Civil  War,  in  1861 
there  were  two  men  in  the  faculty  of  the  Uni- 
versity of  Maryland  who  subsequently  became 
famous — Dr.  W^illiam  A.  Hammond,  professor 
of  anatomy,  who  resigned  his  chair  and  became 
Surgeon-General  of  the  United  States  Army,  and 
Dr.  Edward  Warren,  professor  of  materia  medica 
and  therapeutics,  who  cast  his  lot  with  the  Con- 
federacy and  became  Surgeon-General  of  North 
Carolina.  At  the  close  of  the  war  he  returned 
to  Baltimore  and,  finding  his  chair  occupied,  he 
resuscitated  the  charter  of  the  Washington  Uni- 
versity and  re-established  the  medical  school. 
This  had  considerable  success  for  a  time,  but 
gradually  dwindled  in  numbers  and  went  out  of 
existence  in  1877.  In  1872  Warren  and  Byrd  re- 
signed from  the  Washington  University  and  or-

ganized  a  new  school  under  the  name  of  the  Col- 
lege of  Physicians  and  Surgeons  of  Baltimore. 

I  think  our  Prof.  William  Simon  was  a  mem- 
ber of  the  first  faculty  of  this  college.  I  at- 
tended its  first  commencement,  held  at  the  Ma- 
sonic Temple  in  February  1873,  at  which  eighteen 
men  were  graduated  and  were  addressed  by  Doc- 
tor Warren.  At  the  close  of  this  session  War- 
ren resigned  and  went  to  Egypt,  where  he  be- 
came Surgeon-General  of  the  Khedive's  army  and 
was  known  as  Warren  Bey.  Subsequently  he 
went  to  Paris,  where  he  practised  for  a  number 
of  years,  and  there  died. 

The  College  of  Physicians  and  Surgeons  pros- 
pered, but  was  hampered  by  lack  of  hospital 
facilities  until  1877,  when  it  took  over  the  Wash- 
ington University  and  fell  heir  to  its  buildings 
and  equipment.  Greatly  increased  classes  now 
attended  the  school  and  an  era  of  prosperity 
supervened. 

In  1881  Dr.  Harvey  L.  Byrd,  having  resigned 
from  the  College  of  Physicians  and  Surgeons, 
formed  the  Baltimore  Medical  College.  The  first 
classes  were  held  in  the  basement  of  a  Methodist 
church  on  Eutaw  street  near  Mulberry  street, 
but  a  house  was  soon  secured  on  Paca  street 
After  a  few  years  the  college  bought  property 
on  Linden  avenue  and  Madison  street  and,  under 
the  able  administration  of  the  late  Prof.  David 
Streett,  who  was  its  dean  for  twenty-five  years 
it  rapidly  developed  into  one  of  the  largest  schools 
in  this  country,  with  fine  buildings  and  a  large 
hospital  for  clinical  instruction.  In  1913  the  Bal- 
timore Medical  College  was  merged  with  the 
University  of  Maryland ;  and  by  the  recent  merger 
with  the  College  of  Physicians  and  Surgeons  the 
present  medical  school  combines  the  forces  and 
facilities  of  the  three  formerly  independent 
schools. 

The  University  of  Maryland  has  always  drawn 
its  students  largely  from  the  South,  but  the  Bal- 
timore Medical  College  taught  us  that  they  could 
just  as  easily  be  drawn  from  the  North,  while 
the  College  of  Physicians  and  Surgeons  has  suc- 
ceeded in  attracting  students  from  the  Middle 
and  Far  West,  as  well  as  from  the  contiguous 
Middle  States.  We  should  be,  therefore,  in  a 
position  to  attract  students  from  all  parts  of  the 
country,  as  well  as  from  foreign  lands, 


When  I  became  a  medical  student,  in  1871 
there  were  no  premedical  requirements  for  ad- 
mission to  a  medical  school,  and  the  course  of, 
study  extended  over  two  sessions  of  five  months 
each.  There  were  no  laboratories  except  that  of 
practical  anatomy,  which  was  a  very  malodorous 
one.  The  course  of  instruction  was  by  no  means 
perfunctory,  however,  and  we  got  a  good  train- 
ing for  those  days.  Even  in  those  days  some 
students  voluntarily  took  three  years,  and  gradu- 
ally the  number  increased  and  a  voluntary  three- 
year  course  was  established. 

The  Woman's  Medical  College  of  Baltimore 
was  founded  in  1883  and  was  the  first  school  in 
the  city  to  establish  a  compulsory  three-year 
graded  course,  as  well  as  an  entrance  examina- 
tion to  determine  the  fitness  of  the  candidate  to 
study  medicine.  From  this  small  and  insignifi- 
cant school  for  women  originated  the  movement 
that  resulted  in  the  formation  of  the  Association 
of  American  Medical  Colleges. 

Through  the  late  Prof.  Eugene  Fauntleroy 
Cordell  a  meeting  of  the  medical  schools  of  the 
city  was  brought  about,  and  from  this  meeting 
a  call  was  sent  to  the  various  schools  of  the 
country,  inviting  them  to  meet  and  confer  on 
the  status  of  medical  education  in  the  United 
States  and  to  devise  plans  to  improve  it.  If  my 
memory  is  not  at  fault,  this  call  was  signed  by 
Prof.  Aaron  Friedenwald,  of  the  College  of 
Physicians  and  Surgeons,  the  father  of  our  col- 
leagues— Profs.  Harry  and  Julius  Friedenwald. 

One  of  the  first  acts  of  this  Association  of 
Medical  Colleges  was  to  lengthen  the  medical 
curriculum  to  three  years.  This  became  effective 
in  1892,  and  in  1895  another  year  was  added 
making  it  compulsory  that  all  graduates  in  1899 
and  thereafter  should  have  had  four  years  in  a 
medical  school.  Some  slight  premedical  educa- 
tional tests  were  required,  but  as  they  were  left 
in  the  hands  of  the  deans  the  examinations  were 
usually  favorable  to  the  students.

THE  UNIVERSITY  GAZETTE 


It  soon  became  evident  that  it  was  necessary 
to  demand  higher  educational  standards  of  those 
who  were  entering  upon  the  study  of  medicine 
and  in  1903  graduation  from  a  four-years  high 
school  was  required.  I  personally  cast  the  vote 
of  the  University  of  Maryland  for  this  advance 
at  New  Orleans  in  1903.  For  some  time  it  was 
very  difficult  to  administer  this  requirement, 
owing  to  the  paucity  of  four-year  high  schools 
in  the  area  from  which  we  drew  our  students ; 
eventually,  however,  the  high  schools  advanced 
their  requirements  to  meet  the  situation. 

Another  factor  in  the  advancement  of  medical 
education  in  this  country  was  the  establishment 
of  the  Council  on  Medical  Education  by  the 
American  Medical  Association  in  1904.  At  that 
time  there  were  one  hundred  and  sixty-six  medi- 
cal schools  in  the  United  States,  more  than  there 
were  in  all  the  rest  of  the  world;  in  1915  the 
number  has  been  reduced  by  extinctiion  and 
merger  to  less  than  100.  There  are  fewer  schools 
but  better  ones. 

The  Baltimore  schools  have  been  accused  of 
being  non-progressive,  but,  as  I  have  already 
stated,  the  first  efforts  to  advance  the  cause  of 
medical  education  emanated  from  our  schools 
We  have  never  been  backward  in  meeting  the 
new  conditions  as  they  arose,  though  they  have 
imposed  burdens  on  us  that  have  been  hard  for 
us  to  bear. 

In  response  to  the  demands  of  the  times  the 
three  larger  schools  have  consolidated  into  one 
body.  This  has  entailed  great  sacrifices  on  the 
part  of  the  members  of  the  several  faculties,  that 
have  been  made  from  the  conviction  that  the  cause 
of  medical  education  would  be  advanced  thereby 

Last  year  a  year  of  college  work  in  chemistry 
physics,  biology  and  either  French  or  German 
way  required,  in  addition  to  a  four-year  high- 
school  course.  This  has  resulted  in  cutting  down 
our  freshman  and  sophomore  classes.  In  1917 
it  is  almost  certain  that  two  years  of  col- 
lege work  will  be  required,  so  that  it  is  prob- 
able that  our  classes  will  be  small  for  some  years 
to  come.  This  being  so,  it  will  be  impossible 
for  us  to  conduct  the  school  on  the  fees  of  stu- 
dents; indeed,  the  time  in  which  this  could  be 
done  has  already  passed.     We  must  have  aid 


from  private  benefactors  or  from  the  State.  We 
have  an  endowment  fund  that  is  reaching  a  use- 
ful size,  and  various  legacies  will  be  available 
sometime  in  the  future;  but  we  must  have  gen 
erous  aid  from  some  source,  to  enable  us  to  stem, 
the   current    until    we   can    reach    solid    ground 

In  1914  the  Legislature  chartered  the  Mary- 
land State  University,  of  which  we  are  a  part 
and  $15,000  a  year  for  1915  and  1916,  for  medi- 
cal education  was  appropriated.  The  future  of 
the  State  University  is  still  uncertain,  for,  while 
the  State  created  the  university  it  did  not  appro- 
priate sufficient  funds  to  put  it  in  operation.  We 
must  wait,  therefore,  until  the  next  Legislature 
to  see  what  will  be  the  future  of  the  State 
University.  In  the  meanwhile  we  have  cleaned 
up  the  medical  situation  in  this  city ;  we  have 
consolidated  the  reputable  schools  into  one  strong 
institution,  while  the  less  deserving  ones  have  be- 
come extinct. 

We  have  magnificent  clinical  facilities,  with 
three  large  general  hospitals  under  our  control 
and  many  other  general  and  special  ones  from 
which  to  derive  clinical  material.  We  have  ample 
and  splendid  laboratories,  in  which  to  instruct  stu- 
dents in  the  fundamental  branches ;  and  we  have 
a  large  corps  of  able  and  enthusiastic  teachers 
We  believe,  therefore,  that  we  are  on  the 
threshold   of   an   era   of  success  and  prosperity 


THE    MEDICAL    SOCIETY    OF    DENTAL 
STUDENTS. 


By  H.  K.  Baklor,  Dental,  '16. 


The  diversons  offered  us  during  the  past  month 
in  the  way  of  extra  lectures  and  assemblages  were 
more  numerous  than  usual,  and  the  meeting  of 
the  Medical  Society  on  the  night  of  November 
16th,  stands  out  in  my  mind  as  having  been  a 
most  splendid  treat.  The  papers  of  Doctors  Gor- 
don Wilson  and  Chandlee  were  of  peculiar  in- 
terest to  those  of  the  Dental  Department.  The 
question  of  the  derangement  of  the  system  by  the 
absorbtion  of  toxins  and  bacteria  from  the  mouth 
may  not  be  entirely  new  to  us.  But  the  signifi- 
cance of  Dr.  Wilson's  and  Dr.  Friedenwald's  re- 
marks on  the  concomittance  of  gastric  ulcers  and 


THE  UNIVERSITY  GAZETTE

portal  and  tonsillar  infections  is  undoubtedly  as 
important  as  it  is  recent. 

I  think  we  owe  Dr.  Carroll  and  his  colleagues 
a  debt  of  gratitude  for  bringing  up  this  subject 
before  such  an  assemblage  of  specialists  as  was 
gathered  there  that  evening.  I  refer  to  the  ques- 
tion of  gastric  ulcers  following  portal  infections 
merely  as  an  example  of  the  references  made  that 
evening  to  the  importance  of  maintainance  of  oral 
sepsis.  And  we  prospective  practitioners  as  oral 
specialists  should  be  doubly  thankful  to  this 
Society  for  the  work  it  is  doing  in  helping  to 
raze  the  last  barriers  of  misunderstanding  and 
prejudice  between  physician  and  dentist.  We,  in 
turn,  are  being  shown  added  opportunities  for 
service.  And  in  addition  we  are  being  forewarned 
as  to  the  direction  from  which  we  may  expect 
blame  as  "Accessories  after  the  fact"  in  abetting 
or  causing  systemic  derangements  by  oral  neglect. 

"Cogito  ergo  sum"  might  well  be  taken  as  our 
watch-word  in  this  day  when  the  laity  are  being 
educated  up  to  the  point  of  remunerating  us  for 
our  knowledge  as  well  as  for  the  mere  mechanical 
service  of  inserting*  a  filling  and  making  artificial 
appliances.  It  is  obviously  our  unquestionable 
duty  to  keep  ourselves  well  informed  so  as  to  in- 
crease our  field  of  usefulness.  It  is  otherwise 
manifestly  impossible  for  us  to  be  worthy  of  our 
hire.  Such  a  meeting  as  the  one  in  question  is  of 
inestimable  value  to  us  in  our  eiTorts  to  keep 
abreast  of  the  acomplishments  and  findings  of  the 
great  research  men  of  the  day. 

It  is  not  my  object  to  review  the  field  covered 
by  the  papers  that  evening,  for  such  a  survey 
would  scarcely  be  complete  without  rendering  due 
homage  to  the  miraculous  surgical  feat  of  our  be- 
loved friend  and  surgeon  Dr.  Winslow.  Nor 
would  it  be  proper  to  overlook  the  lesson  brought 
home  to  us  in  the  paper  of  Dr.  Gardner  on  the 
question  of  the  prevention  of  the  spread  of 
malignant  growths  and  their  early  recognition. 
His  paper  is  a  splendid  supplement  to  the  insist- 
ence and  energy  which  Dr.  Bay  instills  in  his 
lectures  to  the  Senior  class. 

My  object  in  speaking  of  the  meeting  is  to  bring 
it  to  the  attention  of  those  of  the  dental  men  who 
were  absent  that  evening.  Let  me  urge  them  to 
avail  themselves  of  such  opportunities  whenever 


they  present  themselves  so  as  to  profit  by  the  un- 
questionable good  which  they  will  derive  there- 
from. Possibly  there  may  be  times  when  the 
papers  will  be  on  medical  topics  which  do  not  ap- 
ply to  our  work  directly,  but  such  information 
may  sporulate  for  the  time  being  and  may  vege- 
tate under  more  favorable  conditions  so  as  to  aid 
us  in  our  life's  work. 


GOVERNOR-ELECT   EMERSON    C.    HAR- 
RINGTON, ST.  JOHN'S  COLLEGE, 
CLASS  OF  1884. 


It  gives  us  much  pleasure  to  announce  to  our 
readers  the  election  on  November  2d  of  former 
Comptroller  Emerson  C.  Harrington,  class  of 
1884,  of  Cambridge,  Md.,  as  Governor  of  the 
State  of  Maryland.  Mr.  Harrington  was  born  in 
Dorchester  County,  Md.,  and  spent  his  boyhood 
on  a  farm.  In  1880  he  went  to  Cambridge  and 
took  a  competitive  examination,  winning  a  schol- 
arship at  St.  John's  College,  from  which  he  grad- 
uated four  years  later.  He  was  the  honor  man 
of  his  class.  After  tutoring  at  the  College  for  a 
year  hei  was  ofifered  charge  of  one  of  the  depart- 
ments. This  he  declined  and  returned  to  Cam- 
bridge as  principal  of  the  High  School  there. 
Later  he  began  the  study  of  law  and  was  after- 
wards admitted  to  the  bar.  Two  years  later  he 
was  elected  State's  Attorney  of  Cambridge.  From 
that  time  on  he  has  grown  steadily  in  Dorchester 
County,  until  his  election  to  the  Governorship  of 
Maryland,  the  highest  honor  that  the  State  can 
bestow  upon  any  of  its  citizens.  We  desire  to 
congratulate  Mr.  Harrington  upon  the  high  honor 
thrust  upon  him  by  his  fellow  men  and  predict 
for  him  a  successful  administration. 


"Anyhow,  there's  one  advantage  in  having  a 
wooden  leg,"  said  the  veteran. 

"What's  that?"  asked  his  friend. 

"You  can  hold  your  socks  up  with  thumb- 
tacks."— Columbia  Jester.

Many  of  the  subscribers  to  The  Gazette  have 
changed  addresses  and  because  of  that  it  is  doubt- 
ful if  the  friends  of  the  paper  receive  their  copies 
regularly.  Let  those  who  have  changed  addresses 
or  anticipate  a  change  send  notice  to  the  business 
office  that  the  paper  may  reach  the  subscriber 
without  delay.  Students  whose  names  are  on  the

any  change  of  address,  otherwise  a  disappoint-

What  makes  my  eyes  so  large  and  sparkling 
When  half  dimmed  with  Despair's  black  veil.' 

What  makes  them  deep  and  wide  and  open 
When  half  closed  by  Time's  hoary  gale? 

What  flutters  heart  and  boosts  its  treasures 
When  wearied,  chilled  by  zephyr's  blow?

ACADEMIC  DAY. 


Academic  Day  commemorating  the  one  hun- 
dred and  twenty-sixth  anniversary'  of  the  found- 
ing of  St.  John's  College  at  Annapolis,  the  De- 
partment of  Arts  and  Sciences  of  the  University 
of  Maryland,  was  observed  with  exercises  at 
Westminster  Presbyterian  Church,  November  11, 
1915.  The  entire  Faculty  and  student  body  of  the 
University  participated  in  the  exercises. 

The  orator  of  the  day  was  Mr.  Albert  C. 
Ritchie,  Law,  class  of  1898,  his  subject  being 
"Lest  We  Forget."  He  paid  full  tribute  to  each 
of  the  departments,  as  well  as  naming  a  few 
leaders  of  the  past  and  present  in  many  fields,  who 
either  lived  in  Baltimore  or  were  trained  there. 
He  told  of  the  founding  of  the  Maryland  Col- 
lege of  Pharmacy  in  1841,  of  its  absorption  by 
the  University  in  190-i,  and  referred  to  the  times 
of  Dr.  Horace  H.  Hayden  and  the  growth, 
through  his  efforts,  of  the  department  of  den- 
tistry. In  speaking  of  the  law  department,  he 
suggested  that  the  department's  efficiency  would 
be  greatly  increased  by  the  addition  of  several 
full-time  professors  to  the  faculty. 

"It  is  a  far  call  back  to  the  time  when  the 
anatomical  laboratory  of  Dr.  John  B.  Davidge 
was  destroyed  by  indignant  Baltimore  citizens 
who  objected  to  the  dissection  of  bodies,"  he 
continued.  "Strange  also  is  it  to  recall  that  when 
the  Legislature  of  1807  was  passing  the  charter 
of  the  College  of  Medicine  of  Maryland,  it  was 
discovered  that  three  of  the  six  faculty  members 
were  not  graduates. 

"Since  that  time  such  men  as  John  Beale  Da- 
vidge  and   Nathan    Smith   have  been   succeeded

by  such  men  as  Christopher  Johnson,  Francis 
Donaldson,  Julian  J.  Chisholm,  Richard  McSherry, 
George  Warner  Miltonberger,  William  T.  How- 
ard, Isaac  E.  Atkinson,  Francis  T.  Miles  and 
Samuel  C.  Chew.  Those  men  and  others  like 
them  have  linked  the  name  of  the  medical  school 
of  the  University  of  Maryland  inseparably  with 
all  that  is  efficient  and  brilliant  in  the  medical 
world.  It  is  this  University's  proud  heritage  that 
her  medical  school  has  contributed  among  the 
very  best  to  a  profession  in  which  honor  and  self- 
sacrifice  and  nobility  has  ever  stood  pre-eminent." 

The  invocation  opening  the  exercises  was  de- 
livered by  the  Rev.  D.  Everett  Lyon,  pastor  of 
the  church.  Dr.  Thomas  Fell,  provost  of  the 
University,  made  a  short  introductory  address, 
and  Prof.  S.  S.  Handy,  of  St.  John's,  spoke  after 
Mr.  Ritchie,  his  subject  being  "The  College  Man 
as  a  Leader." 

In  the  procession  the  St.  John's  boys,  in  full 
uniform,  marched  first  and  then,  in  order  named, 
came  the  students  of  the  departments  of  medi- 
cine, law,  dentistry  and  pharmacy.  Then  fol- 
lowed the  faculties  of  the  departments  in  cap  and 
gown,  and  the  regents  of  the  University,  Provost 
Fell  being  last. 

The  music  was  in  charge  of  Dr.  B.  Merrill  Hop- 
kinson,  assisted  by  Robert  L.  Haslup,  as  organist, 
and  Hobart  Smock,  Edgar  T.  Paul  and  John  H. 
Richardson. 

Following  the  exercises  at  the  church,  the  usual 
annual  luncheon  was  held  at  the  Emerson  Hotel 
for  the  faculties  of  the  College  and  University, 
the  Board  of  Regents  and  invited  guests. 


MEDICAL. 

An  old   and   rare   collection   of  books    in   the 
Dutch  language   (Nederduitsch)    is  deposited  in 


the  Library.  A  number  of  them  are  bound  in 
vellum  and  are  curious  specimens  of  the  book- 
binder's craft. 

The  Librarian  gratefully  acknowledges  the  as- 
sistance of  Mr.  C.  P.  Andrews  ('17)  in  trans- 
lating the  title  pages.  Mr.  Andrews  is  a  native 
of  the  Transvaal,  South  Africa,  and  as  that  is 
now  a  bilingual  country  he  has  had  the  advantage 
of  an  education  in  Dutch  and  English. 

To  give  some  idea  of  the  time  and  literary 
scope  of  these  works  a  few  titles  are  appended :

new  chemical  process,  which  has  been  experi- 
mentally elucidated;  and  the  use  of  same  in  ani-

THE  UNIVERSITY  GAZETTE 


Mr.  J.  Bruce  Arnold,  Jr.,  a  former  student  at 
the  University  of  Maryland  Medical  School,  who 
went  to  Serbia  last  summer  to  work  in  the  Ser- 
bian Red  Cross,  has  sent  the  following  letter 
home: 

"Losnitza,  Sept.  16,  1915. 

"Dear :     At  last  I  have  arrived  at  my 

destination,  this  wonderful  city.  We  had  a  two- 
day  stay  in  Nish.  We  spent  a  week  getting  a 
supply  of  drugs  and  finding  interpreters.  We 
finally  secured  both,  and  on  the  day  we  started 
from  Nish  the  War  Department  discovered  that 
our  interpreters  were  born  in  Austria,  so  we 
could  not  take  them  in  the  war  zone.  We  left  Nish 
without  interpreters,  using  what  German.  French 
and  Serbian  we  knew. 

"\Mien  we  got  to  the  first  station  to  change  cars 
we  discovered  that  our  baggage  was  lost  and  de- 
cided to  go  no  further  without  it.  We  met  a 
Serbian  in  the  station  who  spoke  English.  He 
was  interpreter,  he  said,  for  the  English  'mission,' 
and  invited  us  to  spend  the  night  there.  We  went 
and  discovered  the  English  mission  to  be  a  Scot- 
tish women's  hospital  unit,  with  not  a  man  in 
camp  except  the  patients,  cook  and  interpreter. 
They  all  seconded  the  invitation  to  stop  with 
them,  so  we  stayed. 

WOMEN    .\RE  THE   DOCTORS. 

"The  whole  outfit  consists  of  10  tents  for  hos- 
pital wards,  20  men  in  each,  and  about  six  tents 
to  live  in.  There  were  three  women  doctors  and 
10  nurses.  They  are  doing  excellent  work,  wards 
are  well  equipped,  bacteriological  laboratory,  etc. 

"In  the  afternoon  six  nurses,  Dr.  S.  and  my- 
self went  for  a  horseback  ride  to  the  famous  bat- 
tlefield where  the  Austrians  were  repulsed  and 
30,000  prisoners  were  taken.  It  was  wonderful — 
shells,  caps,  bones  and  such  things  all  around  and 
in  the  trenches.  The  same  night  we  had  a  card 
party.  There  were  Serbian  officers,  French  offi- 
cers and  the  Scottish  nurses  and  the  members  of 
the  British  ambulance  corps  there.  We  played 
progressive  whist.  Once  I  was  at  a  table  with  a 
Serbian  officer,  a  French  nurse  and  a  Russian 
nurse,  and  no  one  of  these  understood  the  lan- 
guage of  the  other.     It  was  great  fun. 

"Much  to  our  surprise,  our  baggage  turned  up 

the  next  morning,  so  we  proceeded  to  

on  a  cute  little  pocket  edition  railroad,  and  some 


time  that  day  got  to  \'alievoe.  Nothing  exciting 
occurred  there,  and  the  next  morning  we  took  a 
train  for  Obrenovatz,  a  small  town  on  the  Save. 
We  spent  the  night  there,  and  the  next  day  drove 
to  Schabatz.  The  road  winds  along  the  river 
Save,  the  northern  boundarj'  of  Serbia,  and  we 
were  compelled  to  make  a  two-hour  detour  be- 
cause of  the  artillery  fire  in  one  place,  somewhat 
exciting,  to  say  the  least. 

HAV'OC  AT  SCHABATZ. 

"Finally,  after  a  10-hour  drive,  we  got  to  Scha- 
batz. The  destruction  here  is  terrible.  It  is  truly 
the  'deserted  village,'  fomierly  a  town  of  30,000, 
now  about  TOO.  I  don't  believe  there  are  50 
houses,  unharmed  by  shells.  The  whole  city  is  in 
ruins,  resembling  Baltimore's  burnt  district  after 
the  fire  of  1904.  It  was  the  first  place  invaded  by 
the  Austrians.  We  spent  the  night  there  and  at 
7  A.  M.  left  by  rail  for  Losnitza  and  got  there  at 
11  o'clock.  Here  it  is  the  same  story;  over  half 
the  town  in  ruins  and  TOO  people  left  of  30,000 
normal  population.  The  town  is  well  protected, 
though,  with  heavy  artillery  and  efficient  infantry. 
However,  my  clothes  are  put  in  order  at  night  so 
that  I  can  jump  right  into  them  at  any  moment. 
I  also  have  handy  a  little  kit,  where  I  keep  my 
razor,  etc.,  with  a  small  alcohol  stove,  alcohol, 
matches,  tea  and  bouillon  cubes  and  a  heavy 
blanket.  There  is  no  telling  just  when  it  will 
come  handy.  Dr.  S.  and  myself  went  to  Krupany. 
We  stayed  there  three  days,  living  in  the  officers' 
quarters.  We  started  off  at  6  A.  M.  one  day  on 
horseback  and  went  up  into  the  mountains  along 
the  border,  where  the  artillery  and  infantry  are 
established. 

SOLDIERS  AS  SANITARY  WORKERS. 

"I  am  going  to  have  lots  of  work  here.  The 
Prefect  of  my  district  says  it  has  a  population  of 
20,000.  I  have  to  vaccinate  all  against  typhoid, 
typhus  and  cholera,  and  each  disease  requires 
three  inoculations.  This  morning  24  patients 
called.  Imagine  my  job  with  no  interpreter!  I 
told  the  commanding  officers  of  the  sanitarj-  con- 
ditions here,  and  today  have  300  soldiers  cleaning 
up  the  town.  There  is  enough  work  here  to  last 
a  couple  of  years.  I  wrote  to  the  Minister  of  the 
Interior  requesting  to  be  supplied  with  equipment 
for  a  hospital,  and  if  he  supplies  it  I  think  I  shall 
stay.     The  ^Minister  of  War  spoke  to  me  about

but  I  hardly  think  I  will,  as  the  civil  work  is 
broader  and  I  am  not  hampered  by  any  military 
rank.  The  Serbians  certainly  do  treat  us  all 
right.  When  traveling  they  all  do  what  they  can 
to  help  you. 

"I  bought  a  camera  in  Nish  from  a  Columbia 
man  who  was  ready  to  go  back.  The  Serbians 
will  allow  us  to  take  pictures,  but  we  cannot  send 
them  out  of  the  country  yet.  I  am  waiting  now 
for  some  films  which  I  ordered  in  Athens.  They 
will  not  allow  us  to  take  pictures  of  the  trenches 
or  the  soldiers  in  them.  In  one  place  we  wanted 
to  photograph  an  artillery  intrenchment,  but  were 
not  allowed ;  also  the  place  is  not  mentionable."

a  flying  visit  to  Baltimore  during  the  month. 


It  was  erroneously  stated  in  the  last  number 
of  the  Gazette  that  Kanode  &  Lightner,  '15,  had 
located  at  the  Maryland  Apartments,  Hagers-

At  the  last  meeting  of  the  1916  class,  Walter

hotel  managers  regarding  a  class  banquet,  and  he 
submitted  sample  menus  to  the  class.  The  date 
of  thei  banquet  will  be  definitely  settled  later,  but 
it  will  be  some  time  the  first  week  in  December.

proud  of  the  splendid  victory  of  our  own  Mr. 
Ritchie  in  the  recent  election  than  the  1917  Law 
Class.  Running  far  ahead  of  his  ticket  is  evi- 
dence enough  that  "he  is  first  in  the  hearts  of 
his  fellow  men."     It  needed  no  political  victory.

Murder  will  out ! 

In  the  sun  parlor  of  her  father's  home,  pretty 
Miss  Virginia  Randolph,  famous  throughout  the 
country  for  her  beauty  and  wit,  daughter  of 
Thomas  Randolph,  Esq.,  the  multi-millionaire 
manufacturer  of  war  munitions,  was  found  un- 
conscious from  loss  of  blood  caused  by  a  wound 
inflicted  above  her  heart.  The  entire  Green 
Spring  Valley  was  deeply  shocked  several  hours 
later  by  the  news  of  her  death.  Loud  cries  of 
woe  followed  their  first  sorrowful  mourning  and 
this  was  succeeded  by  hysterical  weeping,  wailing, 
gnashing  of  teeth,  rending  of  garments,  heart- 
breaking lamentations  and  further  signs  of  pas- 
sionate grief.  The  very  trees  and  shrubbery 
shriveled  and  drooped  from  despair  and  morti- 
fication. 

John  Doe  was  indicted  by  the  Grand  Jury  of 
the  1917  Law  Class  and  will  be  tried  on  Decem- 
ber 29,  1915,  in  the  Assembly  Hall  of  the  Law 
Building.  Eminent  counsel  will  represent  both 
sides.  The  State  will  prosecute  through  their 
most  brilliant  attorneys,  Messrs.  Silberstein  and 
Murphy.  Mr.  Doe  will  be  ably  defended  by  the 
prominent  criminal  lawyers.  Messrs.  Page  and 
Penn. 

This  mock  trial  promises  to  be  a  particularly 
interesting  and  well  conducted  case  and  will 
be  worth  while  attending.    We  respectfully  urge 


the  members  of  the  class  to  attend  and  the  in- 
vitation extends  to  their  lady  friends  as  well  as 
gentlemen.  

If  the  gentleman  who  recently  met  Miss  Millie 
at  the  corner  of  Baltimore  and  Sharp  streets  does 
not  fork  over  his  subscription  to  this  periodical 
we  shall  publish  his  name  in  green  and  his  full

next  issue.  

We  have  turned  over  to  the  "Honor  Commit-

After  Mr.  Randall's  brilliant  showing  in  his

knows  too  much  about  personal  rights. 


We  would  certainly  appreciate  the  installation

in  number,  and  though  we  have  been  shadowing 
them  for  some  time  and  have  sufficient  evidence 
to  convict  them,  we  are  satisfied  to  first  give  this 
warning.     Beware !

of  the  1917  Law  Class,  our  old  pal  Maynard,  has 
chameleon-like  (excuse  the  hyphen)  taken  on  a 
new  color.  We  have  known  him  as  business 
man,  expert  on  international  law,  exponent  and 
chairman  of  the  Honor  System,  but  we  had  to 
wait  until  October  19th  of  this  memorable  year 
before  we  found  him  in  the  uniform  of  the  draw- 
ing room  (drunk  and  disorderly)  in  the  role  of 
best  mani  to  one  of  our  sex  "going  like  the  ox  to

will  come  to  meddling  with  the  question  a  matri-

dropped  to  the  floor  as  his  tilted  chair  slipped 
from  under  him  and  both  crashed  to  earth  with 
a  tremendous  racket !  Even  the  lecturer  could  not 
refrain  from  remarking  that  "the  big  ones  fall  as 
well  as  the  little  ones,"  to  which  we  add,  "the 
bigger  they  come  the  harder  they  flop."

PHARMACY— GRADUATE. 


For  the  third  time  in  its  history,  the  American 
Pharmaceutical    Association    met    in    CaHfornia. 

In  1889  a  Httle  band  of  Easteners  traveled  west- 
ward and  received  a  glorious  greeting  at  the 
Golden  Gate. 

In  1909  the  Association  met  at  Los  Angeles, 
and  six  years  later  the  city  of  San  Francisco 
served  as  host  to  those  who  crossed  the  Rockies. 

There  are  arguments  both  for  and  against  meet- 
ings at  points  so  remote  from  the  center  of  popu- 
lation. Those  advocating  such  gatherings  argue 
that  the  bringing  of  the  Association  into  such 
sections  increases  and  stimulates  membership  in 
the  neighborhood  of  the  meeting.  On  the  other 
hand,  it  can  be  said  with  equal  force  that  the  long 
journey  prevented  the  presence  of  some  of  the 
Association's  oldest  and  most  valuable  members, 
men  whose  frequent  attendance  at  the  meetings 
mjike  them  particularly  fitted  to  handle  the  topics 
discussed  at  the  session. 

The  Baltimore  pharmacists  who  attended  the 
convention  were  Dr.  H.  P.  Hynson,  Dr.  J.  F. 
Frances  and  Miss  Olive  B.  Cole. 


Dr.  James  W.  Watkins,  class  of  1913,  was  in 
Baltimore  for  a  few  days. 


PHARMACY— SENIOR. 


Although  the  last  year's  Junior  Class  was  a 
fairly  large  one,  only  a  small  percentage  of  its 
members  are  now  having  the  pleasure  of  being 
Seniors.  Our  class  has  29  members,  several  of 
which  are  Seniors  for  the  second  time,  while  two 
of  our  number  are  new  men  who  have  come  here 
from  other  colleges.  They  are  Messrs.  A.  J. 
Alacan,  of  Havana,  Cuba,  and  J.  A.  Barone,  of 
Le  Roy,  N.  Y.  We  heartily  welcome  these  gen- 
tlemen to  our  class  and  hope  they  will  enjoy  their 
stay  with  us. 


Upon  our  return  to  the  college  in  September 
we  found  new  headquarters  for  our  chemical 
laboratory  work.  Although  the  change  caused 
us  a  little  inconvenience  at  first  we  are  already 


more  than  repaid,,  for  the  dental  laboratory 
which  we  now  occupy  is  in  many  respects  far 
better  than  the  one  we  used  last  year.  It's  being 
located  on  the  street  side  of  the  building,  also 
enables  us  to  see  die  "traffic"  pass  by — a  seem- 
ingly additional  feature  of  interest. 


On  the  first  Monday  in  October  we  held  our 
initial  class  meeting,  at  which  remarkable  co- 
operation was  displayed  in  the  election  of  our 
officers,  all  of  which  were  elected  unanimously 
without  opposing  candidates.     The  officers  are: 

T.  J.  Robinson,  president;  W.  C.  Briggs,  vice- 
president  ;  S.  F.  Marshall,  treasurer ;  W.  H. 
Lloyd,  secretary ;  R.  E.  Lee,  sergeant-at-arms ; 
A.  H.  Eise,  historian ;  H.  P.  Jones,  prophet ;  G. 
Karmann,  editor. 

Dr.  Daniel  Base  was  chosen  honorary  presi- 
dent. 

Under  the  leadership  of  the  elected  officers 
we  feel  confident  that  a  spirit  of  harmony  will 
pervade  the  class  during  the  entire  year. 


Apparently  chewing  tobacco  must  be  a  valu- 
able synergist  in  the  performance  of  laboratory 
work,  judging  from  the  number  of  our  mem- 
bers who  indulge  in  that  deplorable  habit  while 
in  the  laboratory.  We  only  hope  that  the  mal- 
ady will  not  spread  over  the  entire  class ;  for, 
in  that  event,  just  imagine  our  lady  member 
packing  about  two-thirds  of  a  sack  of  the  weed 
into  her  mouth,  walking  about  with  one  jaw 
three  times  the  size  of  the  other,  and  hurling 
columns  of  the  dark  juice  into  a  cuspidor  ten 
feet  distant — a  most  esthetical  sight  to  behold! 

We  respectfully  request  that  these  degenerated 
individuals  keep  their  pouches  off  the  tables, 
lest  the  unpolluted  members  of  the  class  might 
be  tempted  to  taste  of  thai  "delicious  filth." 

It  has  been  suggested  that,  instead  of  con- 
tributing dues  to  the  class  treasury,  a  fine  of 
twenty-five  cents  for  each  offense  be  imposed 
upon  those  members  who  invariably  take  the 
liberty  of  sleeping  during  the  lectures.  Such 
fines  would  ultimately  amount  to  much  more 
than  class  dues. 

Gentlemen,  the  question  is  now  open  for  dis- 
cussion !

THE  UNIVERSITY  GAZETTE 


PHARMACY— JUNIOR. 


ACADEMIC— GRADUATE. 


Owing  to  the  delay  in  class  organization  this 
department  was  not  represented  in  last  month's 
issue  of  The  Gazette.  In  the  future  we  shall 
contribute  our  portion  of  the  university  news. 
The  policy  of  the  editor  is  to  make  this  depart- 
ment truly  representative  of  the  class,  and  any 
items  or  suggestions  from  any  member  will  be 
gratefully  received  and  due  credit  given  in  these 
columns  to  the  person  rendering  the  service. 


The  following  officers  were  elected  for  the 
ensuing  scholastic  year : 

President,  Dr.  E.  H.  Hand,  Maryland :  vice- 
president,  C.  C.  Smith,  North  Carolina ;  secre- 
tary, Miss  D.  Trachtenberg,  Nortli  Dakbta ;  treas- 
urer, S.  R.  Warlield,  Maryland ;  sergeant-at- 
arms,  I.  Kushner,  New,  York. 

At  a  later  meeting  Orange  and  Black  were 
chosen  as  class  colors. 


All  men  who  entered  the  Department  of  Phar- 
macy last  year  and  will  graduate  with  this  class 
are  cordially  invited  to  join  us,  and  also  all  three 
year  men  who  entered  this  year. 


Just  here  we  extend  to  Mr.  Lemler,  of  our 
class,  our  congratulations  on  having  passed  the 
State  Board  as  an  Assistant  Pharmacist. 


The  class  was  fortunate  in  electing  for  its 
president  Dr.  E.  H.  Hand,  a  man  of  rare  execu- 
tive ability  and  of  wide  experience.  At  this 
early  stage  of  the  game  he  has  already  demon- 
strated his  merit  and  with  him  at  the  helm  the 
class  bids  fair  to  become  one  of  the  best  in  the 
history  of  the  Department. 


Enthusiasm  and  class  spirit  prevail  among 
the  entire  membership,  each  one  giving  his  or 
her  hearty  support  to  plans  under  way  for  put- 
ting this  class  down  in  the  history  of  the  Univer- 
sity as  the  class  that  had  accomplished  things  un- 
equalled by  its  predecessors.     A  la  bon  z'oyage! 


Alas  !  Despite  the  coaching  of  Johnny  Wilson, 
Dutch  Mellon,  Jack  Gates,  Yellow  Clark  and 
Robbie  Welch,  who  prior  to  the  game  on  Satur- 
day, November  20,  had  injected  into  the  St. 
John's  men  a  bulldog  determination  to  fight  and 
win  the  big  football  game  with  Hopkins,  their 
colors  were  doomed  to  trail  in  the  dust  with  a 
score  of  30  to  6  in  Hopkins'  favor.  The  St. 
John's  players  came  on  the  field  with  just  the 
fight  and  pep  that  everyone  knew  they  would 
possess,  and  it  lasted  during  the  entire  first  half, 
but  the  constant  pounding  of  the  heavier  Hop- 
kins line  was  too  much  for  them  in  the  second 
half,  and  they  succeeded  in  rolling  up  a  score  of 
30  against  St.  John's  6.  St.  John's  took  her  de- 
feat well,  proving  that  she  is  a  good  loser.  We 
wish  her  better  luck  next  year. 

After  the  game  the  St.  John's  Alumni  held  a 
smoker  at  the  Hotel  Rennert  from  5  to  8  o'clock. 
Eater  they  attended  the  performance  of  "The 
Song  of  Songs"  at  Ford's  Theatre.  The:  details 
of  the  smoker  and  theatre  party  were  managed  by 
Philander  B.  Briscoe,  secretary  of  the  Alumni 
Association,  and  R.  H.  Williams,  chairman  of  the 
entertainment  committee.

•LEST  WE  FORGET."^ 


By  Albert  C.  Ritchie,  LL.B.,  Class  of  1898. 


Mr.  Provost,  Honorable  Board  of  Regents  and 
Gentlemen : 

I  deeply  appreciate  the  honor  which  has  been 
conferred  upon  me  by  this  opportunity  to  speak  to 
those  who  have  assembled  here,  according  to  an- 
nual custom,  for  the  commemoration  of  the  ideals 
and  purposes  of  this  great  University.  Yet  so 
rapid  has  been  the  world's  recent  progress  in 
every  field,  and  so  great  the  catastrophe  of  war 
which  now  overwhelms  our  friends  and  brothers 
beyond  the  sea,  that  the  choice  of  a  subject  is 
not  an  easy  task. 

Perhaps  I  can  do  no  better  than  ask  you  to 
pause  for  a  moment  in  the  world's  onward 
march,  to  step  from  the  ranks  of  men  toiling  to 
reach  varied  goals  and  to  attain  honorable  ambi- 
tions, and  briefly  survey  a  few  of  our  recent 
achievements  in  different  lines  of  activity.  It  is 
right  to  take  stock,  so  to  speak,  of  worldly  ad- 
vance now  and  then,  lest  we  forget  what  our 
fellowmen  have  done,  and  so  not  only  fail  to  ap- 
praise adequately  our  country's  progress,  but  also 
fail  to  draw  an  inspiration  from  it  for  ourselves. 

Take,  to  begin  with,  literature  and  the  fine  arts. 
It  is  true  that  in  American  literature  there  are  no 
living  writers  entitled  to  a  place  beside  many  who 
in  the  past  contributed  so  richly  to  the  beauty, 
the  strength  and  the  eloquence  of  the  world's 
jjrose  and  poetry — none,  for  instance,  who  can 
Ije  compared  to  the  great  authors  of  the  \'icto- 
rian  era.  Yet  during  the  last  few  years  we  h£^'e 
presented  to  the  world  many  notable  figures. 

W'inston  Churchill's  "The  Inside  of  the  Cup'' 
is  an  absorbing  discussion  of  the  power  of  the 
Church  to  deal  with  present  day  problems.  In  his 
"A  Far  Country"'  we  have  the  parable  of  the 
Trodigal  Son  applied  to  the  modern  man  of  busi- 

*Address  delivered  on  Academic  Day  at  the  Univer- 
sity of  Maryland,  November  11,  191p. 


iiess.  Henry  Sydnor  Harrison  portrays  the  fem- 
inist movement  in  ''Angela's  Business,"  and  jour- 
nalism and  politics  in  "Queed.''  Booth  Tarking- 
ton  in  "Monsieur  Beaucaire,"  "The  Gentleman 
from  Indiana"  and  "Penrod"  give  us  a  story  of 
the  imagination,  a  story  of  American  politics  and 
the  ever  fascinating  story  of  the  American  boy. 
Lily  Bart,  in  Edith  Wharton's  "House  of  Mirth," 
is  one  of  the  absorbing  characters  in  modern 
prose.  William  Thayer  ranks  high  as  an  histo- 
rian and  biographer.  William  D.  Howells,  the 
dean  of  American  literature,  has  practically  com- 
pleted his  work. 

Nothing  could  be  more  original  and  fascinating 
than  Edgar  Lee  Master's  "Spoon  River  Anthol- 
ogy," nothing  more  charming  than  the  poems  of 
Bliss  Carman,  or  than  William  Vaughan  Moody's 
poetry  of  the  west ;  nothing  more  forceful  as  a 
portrayal  of  the  dignity  of  labor  than  Edwin 
Markhanvs  "The  Man  With  The  Hoe.'' 

In  the  field  of  Art,  America  during  recent  years 
has  given  the  world  Sargeant's  Prophets  of  the 
Old  Testament,  Abbey's  Life  of  Sir  Galahad  and 
John  Alexander's  diversified  mural  paintings,  as 
well  as  a  wealth  of  portraits  by  all  three.  We 
have  contributed  the  works  of  women  like  Ce- 
celia Beaux  and  Mary  Cassatt.  Irving  Couse 
has  pictured  the  stirring  events  of  Indian  life, 
as  has  Remington  in  his  illustrations.  Baltimore 
City  alone  claims  Ephraim  Keyser,  Hans  Schuler 
and  Edward  Berge,  three  of  the  world's  famous 
sculptors. 

How  great  indeed  is  the  inspirational  power  of 
beauty  as  portrayed  by  artists  such  as  those ! 
Perhaps  the  purpose  of  most  of  us  is  to  be  prac- 
tical, but  the  dreams  and  the  visions  of  today 
are  often  the  realities  of  tomorrow,  and  art, 
which  is  the  concrete  expression  of  imagination 
and  emotion,  not  only  contributes  to  the  joy  of  life 
when  the  practical  has  been  mastered,  but  teaches 
VI-  a  healthy  unwillingness  to  accept  the  estab-

lished  order  of  things,  which  has  done  so  much 
for  the  upward  march  of  the  race. 

Our  own  University  was  formed  for  the  promo- 
tion of  the  Arts  as  well  as  for  its  other  objects. 
Columbia  University  this  year  oflfers  a  complete 
course  upon  the  history  of  the  fine  arts,  as  well 
Architecture, Ornament  and  the  Decora- 
live  Arts.  If  it  be  impracticable  for  us  to  aspire 
so  high,  at  least  it  may  be  our  hope  and  aim  to 
commemorate,  through  mural  paintings  and  de- 
signs, for  the  inspiration  of  our  students  and  of 
posterity,  some  of  the  great  events  in  law  and 
medicine  which  have  shed  lustre  upon  the  history 
of  our  State. 

Music,  like  art,  cultivates  the  graces  which 
sweeten  life.  The  countries  of  the  Old  World 
have  always  realized  this,  and  the  lack  of  musical 
culture  has  long  been  one  of  the  short  comings  of 
American  character.  Our  conservatories  and 
schools  of  music,  like  the  Peabody  in  Baltimore, 
are  now  doing  much  to  remedy  this.  So.  of 
course,  are  all  our  wonderful  Symphony  Orches- 
tras, endowed  by  great  benefactors  like  Higgin- 
son  and  Flagler. 

The  growing  custom  of  open  air  military  band 
concerts  in  public  parks  and  squares,  at  which 
the  attendance  frequently  reaches  10,000  or  more 
at  a  single  concert,  is  helping  to  make  the  poor 
man  a  better  citizen.  During  recent  years  Chairs 
of  Music  have  been  estabhshed,  with  both  elemen- 
tary and  advanced  courses,  at  our  leading  Uni- 
versities, such  as  Yale,  Harvard,  Columbia,  Cor- 
nell, Pennsylvania  and  Leland  Stanford 

We  have  our  great  composers,  too — Victor 
Herbert  and  his  American  Indian  legend  "Na- 
toma;"  Chadwick  and  McDowell  with  their  sym- 
phonies and  orchestral  music,  and  Reginald  de 
Koven's  "Robin  Hood"  and  "Erminie." 

All  this  is  as  it  should  be.  For  the  love  of 
rhythm  and  melody  is  innate  in  almost  every  hu- 
man breast.  As  Sidney  Lanier  said,  "the  two  es- 
sentials of  a  home,  given  the  raw  materials,  to- 
wit :  wife,  children,  a  house  and  a  friend  or  two, 
are  a  good  fire  and  good  music."  There  is  no 
reason  why  the  appreciation  of  music  should  be 
as  it  usually  is,  emotional  only.  Music  is  a 
science,  founded  on  definite  rules  and  standards, 
which  must  be  taught  to  be  known,  and  it  is  only 
when  they  are  known  that  man  attains  the  deep 


and  broad  appreciation  and  understanding  of  mu- 
sic which  so  often  in  the  past  has  swayed  human 
actions  and  emotions  and  guided  human  history. 
Recent  developments  in  the  field  of  science  are 
almost  too  well  known  to  require  comment.  The 
conquest  of  the  air  and  wireless  telegraphy  are, 
c  f  course,  examples.  It  is  a  noteworthy  fact  that 
many  of  the  most  remarkable  discoveries  have 
been  made  in  the  laboratories  and  research  de- 
partments which  the  commercial  corporations  of 
the  present  day  have  established  for  the  study  and 
investigation  of  scientific  problems  and  theories. 

On  the  morning  of  October  21,  1915,  not  many 
months  after  the  establishment  of  commercial  tel- 
ephone service  between  New  York  and  San  Fran- 
cisco, the  world  was  astonished  with  the  knowl- 
edge that  wireless  telephonic  communication  had 
been  made  between  Arlington,  Virginia,  and  the 
Eififel  Tower  in  Paris,  a  distance  of  3,800  miles, 
and  that  the  conversation  had  been  heard  in  Hon- 
olulu, 4,900  miles  from  Arhngton,  and  8,700  miles 
from  Paris.  This  was  rendered  possible  by  the 
practical  application  of  principles  long  recognized 
in  the  field  of  theoretical  physics,  and  perfected 
for  purely  scientific  purposes  in  the  laboratories 
of  the  General  Electric  Company  at  Schenectady. 

For  centuries  the  manufacture  of  objects  which, 
like  porcelain  and  steel,  require  extremely  high 
temperatures,  has  been  made  difficult  by  the  ina- 
bility to  repeat  the  exact  conditions  necessary  for 
successful  manufacture.  Recent  laboratory  inves- 
tigations into  the  laws  under  which  hot  bodies 
radiate  heat  have  resulted  in  the  discovery  of 
methods  for  the  measurement  of  temperatures, 
no  matter  how  high,  so  that  the  temperature  of 
a  blazing  furnace  can  now  be  measured  with 
practically  the  same  accuracy  as  the  temperature 
of  water  or  of  the  body.  By  the  same  methods 
we  can  now  learn  the  temperature  of  the  sun. 

Among  the  more  important  contributions  in  the 
field  of  Chemistry  may  be  mentioned  Thomson's 
demonstration  of  the  complex  nature  of  even  the 
simplest  atom;  the  wonders  of  radio-chemistry, 
and  the  conception  of  Madame  Curie  and  Sir 
Ernest  Rutherford  of  the  unstable  atom. 

The  greatest  practical  subject  in  chemistry  to- 
day is  that  of  the  fixation  of  atmospheric  nitro- 
gen, because  the  nitrogen  which  is  essential  to  all 
animal  and  plant  life,  and  which  must  come  from

the  soil,  must  find  its  way  back  to  the  soil,  else 
ib.e  fertility  of  the  ground  will  fail  and  ultimately 
we  would  face  starvation. 

Only  a  few  years  ago  Sir  William  Crookes 
spoke  of  this  problem  as  '"one  of  the  greatest  dis- 
coveries awaiting  the  ingenuity  of  chemists."  Dr. 
Remsen  has  recently  pointed  out  how  chemists 
have  solved  that  problem  by  causing  the  nitrogen 
in  the  air  to  combine  with  other  substances,  and 
thus  form  compounds  of  nitrogen  which  can 
be  used  for  fertilizing  the  soil,  and  in  the  manu- 
facture of  explosives. 

In  thunderstorms  the  electric  discharges  cause 
the  nitrogen  and  the  oxygen  of  the  air  to  unite 
to  a  slight  extent  and  form  compounds  which  dis- 
solve in  water,  and  which  are  deposited  by  the 
rain  upon  the  earth.  Man  now  imitates  in  the  fac- 
tory what  thus  takes  place  in  the  thunderstorm, 
and  as  a  result  ways  have  been  found  to  make 
compounds  of  nitrogen  in  any  desired  quantity. 

The  founders  of  the  Maryland  College  of  Phar- 
macy, Thompson  and  Sharp  and  Cochrane  and 
Stewart,  could  not  have  dreamed,  when  they  be- 
gan instruction  in  1841,  of  the  developments  de- 
stined to  take  place  in  the  field  of  pharmacy  since 
the  merger  of  the  College  thev  organized  with 
the  University  of  Maryland  in  1904. 

Pharmacy  has  made  equal  progress  with  that  of 
the  more  exact  sciences,  such  as  chemistry, 
physics,  microscopy,  botany  and  bacteriology,  the 
learning  of  all  of  which  it  applies  practically.  Re- 
cent years  have  witnessed  the  better  identification 
of  medicinal  plants  through  a  closer  botanical  ac- 
quaintance with  the  plant  cells,  and  also  the  stand- 
ardization of  drugs,  so  that  the  manufacturing 
pharmacist  may  now  present  to  the  medical  pro- 
fession drugs  of  ascertained  value  and  of  definite 
and  uniform  activity,  which  no  longer  are  subject 
to  the  considerable  variations  in  these  particu- 
l,-..rs  which  were  unavoidable  a  few  decades  ago. 

The  years  which  have  elapsed  since  Dr.  Horace 
II.  Hayden  delivered  his  lectures  upon  dentistry, 
first  in  his  offices  at  night  with  no  light  but  the  tal- 
low candle,  and  later  at  this  University  in  1837, 
have  been  marked  by  no  discoveries  of  greater 
benefit  to  the  human  race  than  those,  which  dur- 
iiig  recent  years,  show  how  many  of  the  ills  to 
which  the  human  body  is  subject,  the  causes  of 
which  were  either  unknown  or  obscure,  really  owe 


their  origin  to  the  condition  of  the  teeth,  so  that 
their  treatment  and  cure  lies  in  the  field  of  den- 
tistry. This  has  led  to  the  establishment  of  den- 
tal clinics  in  many  of  the  hospitals  of  the  country. 

Barrett's  recent  discovery  of  the  organism  re- 
sponsible for  Rigg's  disease,  and  the  treatment  of 
the  disease  bv  Emetine,  marks  the  most  far-reach- 
ing advance  in  the  science  of  dentistry  for  years. 

The  Forsyth  Dental  Infirmary  of  Boston,  dedi- 
cated last  November,  with  an  endowment  of  ap- 
proximately $3,000,000,  is  the  finest  institution  of 
its  kind  in  the  world,  and  that,  together  with  the 
Dental  Infirmary  in  Rochester,  endowed  to  the 
amount  of  approximately  $1,200,000  by  Mr. 
George  Eastman  and  Mr.  William  Rausch,  consti- 
tute two  of  the  most  recent  and  most  splendid  con- 
tributions to  the  study  and  treatment  of  dentistry. 

At  the  present  time  a  group  of  prominent  den- 
tists are  engaged  in  research  work,  for  which 
purpose  a  fund  of  $50,000  has  been  placed  at 
their  disposal,  and  the  benefit  of  their  labors  will 
shortly  be  given  to  the  world. 

Recent  economic,  industrial  and  political  devel- 
opments have  almost  revolutionized  the  practice 
of  law  from  what  it  was  in  the  days  of  our  fathers. 
The  American  government  has  always  been  a 
government  of  lawyers.  Twenty-two  of  the  twen- 
ty-seven Presidents  of  the  United  States  have 
been  lawyers.  Congress  and  the  State  Legisla- 
tures have  been  dominated  by  members  of  the 
legal  profession.  The  leaders  of  reform  and  of 
fights  for  popular  liberty  have  nearly  all  been 
drawn  from  the  ranks  of  the  Bar. 

The  reason  for  this  lies  largely  in  the  training 
and  in  the  public  opportunities  which  the  lawyer 
has,  but  no  matter  what  the  reason,  the  fact  is 
undeniable,  and  it  constitutes  the  tradition  which, 
above  all  others,  has  made  the  profession  of  the 
law  a  splendid  one,  and  has  enshrined  it  upon 
the  heights  to  which  Mansfield,  Erskine,  Holt, 
Ellesmere,  James  Otis,  Patrick  Henry,  Story  and 
John  Marshall  raised  it.  It  is  for  the  lawyer 
of  today  and  of  the  future  to  see  that  commer- 
cialism and  less  noble  ideals  do  naught  to  cloud 
that  heritage,  naught  to  dim  or  tarnish  the  bright- 
ness of  it. 

We  must  not  forget  that  the  lawyer  of  the  fu- 
ture, if  he  would  meet  the  responsibility  which 
the  past  has  handed  down  to  him,  must  not  be  out

of  sympathy  with  what  may  be  called  the  modern 
movement  in  democracy,  the  modern  theory  of  so- 
cial, justice  and  of  human  rights.  Trained  as  we 
are  in  adherence  to  precedent,  we  must  not  for- 
get that  ah  law  is  a  growth,  and  must  mould  itself 
in  a  proper  degree, to  the  spirit  and  policy  and  be- 
liefs of  the  times. 

Great  questions  like  the  restrictions  which  the 
economic  needs  of  the  man,  woman  and  child 
worker  places  upon  the  freedom  of  contract,  like 
strictly  representative  forms  of  government  com- 
pared with  the  direct  participation  in  government 
by  the  people,  like  the  rights  of  private  property, 
when,  as  in  the  case  of  conservation,  they  conflict 
with  the  interests  of  the  whole  people — great 
c|uestions  like  those  can  never  be  solved  rightlv, 
by  the  application  of  precedents  or  principles 
born  in  other  days  and  of  other  times  and  other 
conditions. 

The  Law  School  of  this  University,  honored  by 
the  traditions  of  nearly  a  century,  and  standing 
now  in  the  midst  of  the  radiance  which  falls 
upon  it  from  the  memories  of  men  such  as  Hplif- 
man,  Latrobe,  Marshall,  Wallis,  Phelps,  Carter 
and  iPoe,  will  always  have  its  high  place  in  the 
State  of  Maryland,  as  the  producer  of  practical 
lawyers,  taught  by  practising  lawyers  and  by 
judges.  The  Schoors  efficiencv  would  doubtless 
be  increased  bv  the  addition  to  the  Faculty  of  sev- 
eral full-time  Professors.  But  whether  that  be 
practicable  or  not,  may  her  aims  and  ideals  never 
fall  short  of  the  days 

"When  law  had  her  seat  in  the  bosom  of  justice 
And  her  voice  was  the  harmony  of  the  world." 

Time  will  not  permit  even  a  general  survey  of 
the  wonders  which  the  last  few  years  of  medical 
research  offer  for  the  future — such,  for  example, 
as  Crile's  anoci-association  and  as  Abel's  discov- 
ery for  the  removal  of  impurities  from  the  blood. 
But  perhaps  a  few  words  with  reference  to  the 
Medical  School  of  the  University  of  Maryland 
may  be  appropriate. 

It  is  a  far  call  back  to  the  time,  over  a  century 
ago,  when  a  small  building,  which  Dr.  John  B. 
Davidge  had  erected  on  Liberty  street  near  Sar- 
atoga, for  anatomical  purposes,  was  destroyed  by 
a  crowd  of  indignant  Baltimoreans  because  of  the 
then  general  prejudice  against  dissection.  Strange 


also  is  it  to  recall  today  that  when  the  Legislature 
of  1807  was  passing  the  Charter  of  The  College 
of  ]\Iedicine  of  Maryland,  one  of  the  Legislators 
discovered  that  the  Act  did  not  credit  three  of 
the  Six  Faculty  Members  named  with  the  degree 
of  Doctor  of  Medicine,  and  on  inquiring  as  to  the 
cause  of  this,  and  learning  that  it  was  due  to  the 
fact  that  none  of  these  three  had  ever  grad- 
uated, he  nevertheless  moved  that  the  degree  be 
given  them  anyhow  by  the  Legislature,  which 
was  unanimousl}'  done. 

Since  that  time  men  such  as  John  B.  Davidge 
and  Nathan  R.  Smith  have  been  succeeded  by 
men  such  as  Christopher  Johnston,  Francis  Don- 
aldson, Julian  J.  Chisholm,  Richard  McSherry, 
George  Warner  Miltenberger,  William  T.  How- 
ard, Isaac  E.  Atkinson,  Francis  T.  Miles  and 
Samuel  C.  Chew.  Those  men  and  others  like 
them  have  linked  the  name  of  the  Medical  School 
of  the  University  of  Maryland  inseparably  with 
all  that  is  efficient  and  brilliant  in  the  medical 
\\orld.  It  is  this  University's  proud  heritage  that 
her  Medical  School  has  contributed  among  the 
very  best  to  a  profession  in  which  honor  and  self- 
sacrifice  and  nobility  have  ever  stood  pre-eminent. 

There  must  be  no  retrogression  in  the  field  of 
our  medical  activities.  Indeed,  there  is  every 
need  today  for  their  enlargement.  Ten  )'ears  ago 
there  were  1G5  medical  schools  in  the  United 
States.  Now  there  are  93.  Ten  years  ago  there 
were  nine  medical  schools  in  Baltimore  City.  Now 
there  are  two.  In  Maryland  200  interneships  are 
required  each  year  to  take  care  of  the  sick  in  our 
hospitals,  and  in  June,  1915,  owing  to  the  ad- 
'  vanced  requirements  for  medical  education,  only 
154  men  graduated — not  even  enough  to  man  our 
own  hospitals. 

The  Medical  School  of  this  University  occu- 
pies a  most  important  and  unique  position  in  our 
body  politic,  through  the  facilities  it  offers  for  the 
thorough  training  of  general  practitioners.  Full 
opportunities  are  afforded  those  graduates  who 
wish  to  specialize  to  do  so,  but  primarily  the 
School  aims  to  contribute  to  the  world  the  well 
equipped  Family  Doctor  so  essential  to  every  ru- 
ral or  urban  community. 

The  School  is  able  to  do  this  not  only  because 
of  the  ability,  standing,  experience  and  industry 
of  a  splendid  board  of  instructors,  but  also  be-

cause  of  clinical  advantages  as  great  if  not  greater 
than  are  available  at  any  other  University  in 
America. 

Since  the  consolidation  of  the  University  of 
Maryland  Medical  School,  the  School  of  Physi- 
cians and  Surgeons  and  the  Baltimore  Medical 
College,  the  student  has  access  to  4,500  beds 
where  medical,  surgical  and  mental  cases  are 
cared  for  in  the  three  controlled  general  hospitals, 
one  affiliated  general  hospital  and  eight  special 
hospitals.  The  Johns  Hopkins  Hospital  has  a  to- 
tal of,  only  400  beds.  In  the  dispensaries  of  the 
three  controlled  hospitals  alone  there  were  last 
year  08,000  visits  made  by  patients. 

The  pre-eminent  advantage  which  all  this  gives 
for  clinical  work  is  apparent  and  cannot  be  over- 
estimated. It  affords  an  almost  unparalleled  op- 
portunity for  educating  and  training  the  student 
in  every  phase  of  medical  w^ork  and  practice 
which  is  necessary  to  make  him  an  experienced 
and  thoroughly  efficient  practitioner.  That  is  the 
kind  of  man  our  University  has  in  the  past  sent 
forth,  and  the  kind  of  man  she  will  continue  to 
send  forth,  to  minister  to  the  ills  of  humanity,  to 
brighten  and  sweeten  the  burdens  of  life,  and 
to  make  the  world  a  healthier,  purer  and  happier 
i;lace  for  us  all. 

The  University  of  Maryland  and  her  graduates 
have  happily  done  their  full  share  and  played  well 
an  honored  part  in  all  this  wonderful  progress  of 
the  world  during  the  last  few  years.  The  Uni- 
versity must  now  continue,  as  the  march  moves 
onward,  to  play  equally  as  full  a  share  and  to 
take  equally  as  honored  a  part.  Thus  may  the 
glories  of  her  past  be  linked  with  the  glories  of  her 
future,  and 

"So  shall  we  glide  down  to  the  sea 
Of  fathomless  eternity." 


A  BETTER  "TERR.4E  MARIAE." 


By  Bruce  C.  Lightner,  Law,  1915. 


In  view  of  the  disaster  attached  to  the  last  vol- 
ume of  "Terrae  Mariae,"  would  it  not  be  advis- 
able to  make  some  changes  before  the  1916  issue 
goes  to  press? 


It  has  always  been  the  custom  for  the  students 
to  have  complete  control  of  all  xnatters  pertaining 
to  this  publication.  The  faculty  has  had  no  su- 
pervision whatever.  This  was  due  to  two  reasons. 
First,  because  it  is  a  student  publication,  and  as 
such,  should  be  run  by  the  students."  Second, 
probably  because  the  faculty  failed  to  tajce  the 
proper  amount  of  interest  in  it. 

The  1915  "Terrae  Mariae"  will  long  remain  in 
the  minds  of  the  students.  The  former  price 
of  live  dollars  was  raised  to  nine  dollars.  Every- 
one expected  to  receive  a  much  better  annual, 
but  instead,  the  book  was  a  joke.  The  articles 
were  very  poor,  and  the  mis-spelled  words,  and 
grammatical  .blunders  showed  clearly  that  much 
of  it  had  never  been  proof-read. 

The  "Terrae  Mariae"  is  one  of  the  best.adver- 
tising  mediums  of  the  University  of  .A'laryland. 
The  old  students  take  the  book  with  them  when 
they  go  home  in  the  spring.  Many  prospective 
students  see  it,  and  their  opinion  of  the  Univer- 
sity and  its  student  life  is  governed  accordingly. 
A  good  edition  will  naturally  tend  to  interest  a 
young  man  in  the  University.  It  will  be  a  great 
factor  in  enrolling  him  as  a  student. 

Therefore,  the  faculty  should  take  more  .inter- 
est in  the  "Terrae  Mariae."  They  should'  ap- 
point a  professor  to  supervise  the  articles  which 
the  various  class  editors  submit.  One  of  the  pro- 
fessors should  also  supervise  the  receipts  and  ex- 
penses, and  thus  prevent  a  repetition  of  last  year's 
disgrace. 

The  students  do  not  object  to  paying  nine  d.pl- 
lars  for  the  book,  provided  they  get  their  money's 
worth.  They  want  a  representative  year  book ; 
one  that  will  be-a  credit  to  the  school.  ...    , 

Most  of  the  class  editors  have  been  'elected. 
Now  is  the  time  to  get  busy.  Don't  wait  until 
April  or  May  to  get  your  material,  as  was 'the 
case  last  year.  ■ 

We  have  by  far  the  largest  student  body  of 
any  college  in  the  state.  Let  us  have  a  year  Ijook 
that  will  compare  favorably  with  that  of  any 
college  in  the  country.  This  can  only  be  done  by 
the  hearty  co-operation  of  the  faculty  arid  ^tu- 
dents.  •-

EDITORIALLY  EXPRESSED. 


Like  a  thunderbolt  from  a  clear  sky  comes 
the  intelligence  that  one  of  the  University's  best 
friends  has  fallen  bv  the  wayside.  One  who  has 
labored  most  earnestly  and  unceasingly  for  the 
uplift  of  the  student  body  has  sunk  to  the  lowest 
plane  of  depravity  through  practices  so  loathsome 
that  self  respect  abhors  even  the  thought. 
Through  recent  years  he  has  been  laboring  for 
civic  righteousness  and  the  suppression  of  vice 
only  to  come  back  submerged  in  the  slough  of 
unrighteousness  by  the  weight  of  an  unspeakable 
vice. 

We  do  not  condone  the  act  nor  excuse  the  man, 
but  we  do  argue  that  in  the  light  of  the  good  that 
he  had  done,  of  the  acts  of  friendship  he  so  often

performed,  gratitude  should  have  tempered  the 
action  of  the  student  who  so  fiendishly  pro- 
claimed his  downfall  and  of  the  Y.  M.  C.  A. 
officials  who  so  quickly  gave  to  the  public  through 
the  papers  verification  of  student  accusation.  If 
it  were  the  one  individual,  the  man  alone,  who 
might  be  concerned,  then  the  scathing  condem- 
nation of  his  associates,  the  quick  denunciation  by 
his  church  peers,  the  jeering  of  his  student  friends 
would  pass  unquestioned.  But  the  fall  of  the 
house  has  carried  with  it  the  embellishments  of 
the  home,  has  ruined  other  lives,  and  forever 
blasted  hopes  of  innocent  ones.  A  most  accomp- 
lished and  lovable  wife  is  heart  broken  and 
prostrated  to  the  earth,  a  brilliant  daughter's 
future  has  been  blackened,  the  publicity  has 
embarrassed  a  most  conscientious  and  devoted 
congregation,  a  feeling  of  doubt  has  been  intro- 
duced into  the  student-mind,  and  the  enemies  of 
right  living  have  been  presented  with  argument 
lor  self  defense. 

That  it  was  imperative  that  the  offender  should 
go  is  not  denied ;  that  he  should  have  been  re- 
moved from  his  high  place  for  the  protection  of 
the  virtues  which  the  church  claims  to  possess  and 
protect  is  not  questioned,  but  that  the  student 
who  for  a  season  has  enjoyed  the  hospitality  of  the 
clnirch  and  its  organizations  should  so  promiscu- 
ously retail  scandal  and  that  the  Y.  AI.  C.  A. 
should  publicly  expose  the  case  to  their  own 
detriment  makes  one  feel  that  there  is  more  honor 
among  thieves.  Every  man  who  knew  the  of- 
fender has  been  damaged  in  proportion  to  the 
extent  of  his  former  faith  in  the  individual.  The 
revelation   that  one  so  apparently  pious  was  in

reality  a  base  character  tends  to  force  the  young 
man  to  doubt  mankind  generally,  and  such  a  state 
of  mind  is  unwholesome  and  reacts  against  the 
general  uplift.  Publicity  and  scandal  are  most 
damaging  exercises  and  we  should  be  very  careful 
how  we  respond  to  the  temptation  to  play  with 
our  fellows'  faults. 

Let  us  forget  the  debasing  act  and  remember 
the  man  for  what  he  did  as  an  exponent  of  good. 
Let  us  only  remember  that  he  was  a  friend  to  the 
student  and  that  his  motive  was  sincere  and  not 
sinister.  Let  us  remember  that  our  needs  were 
liis  first  thought  and  our  dilemmas  his  problems. 
Let  us  support  his  church,  support  the  stand  he 
and  his  co-workers  have  taken  for  right  living, 
support  his  proposed  ideals  for  student  life  and 
uplift,  and  only  remember  that  "He  saved  others 
but  himself  he  could  not  save."

SPECIAL  RATES  TO  STUDENTS 


AT 


When  we  assumed  the  editorship  of  the  G.v- 
ZETTE  we  called  the  attention  of  the  student  to  the 
opportunity  the  paper  affords  for  the  young  men 
to  assist  in  creating  higher  ideals  for  the  student 
and  for  the  University.  Last  March  we  pro- 
posed changes  and  introduced  features  of  interest 
to  the  student,  making  the  paper  beneficial  to 
him  and  yet  retaining  the  support  of  the  Alumni 
Association.  Our  editorials  have,  in  the  main, 
been  devoted  to  student  problems  and  have  aimed 
to  encourage  and  help.  We  have,  through  these 
columns,  solicited  student  support  and  at  the  same 
time  done  personal  work  to  secure  patronage. 
Again  we  make  the  appeal  for  the  young  men  to 
come  in  and  assist.  If  the  student  lacks  interest 
and  rejects  proffered  opportunities  we  must  lose 
spirit  and  ultimately  leave  the  task  to  a  more 
constructive  and  more  efficient  executive  head. 

Xo  man  has  ever  launched  a  noble  enterprise 
and  enjoyed  success  who  has  placed  himself  and 
gratification  of  personal  ambition  above  the  ser- 
vice his  action  may  render  his  fellov^'s.  Selfish- 
ness is  the  deadly  enemv  of  real  service  and  at 
the  same  time  it  robs  the  individual  of  the  true 
subjective  pleasure  he  may  feel  at  having  done 
liis  work  well.  If  a  work  is  undertaken  with  the 
first  thought  to  attract  the  public  for  popular 
applause,   the   individual   should   step   down   and

push  in  the  one  who,  though  capable  and 
interested,  remains  in  the  background  because 
honors  are  not  sought.  Envy  and  spitefulness 
are  not  elements  of  the  true  gentleman  nor  does 
the  satisfaction  of  ambition  mean  success.  "If 
thine  eye  offend  thee,  pluck  it  out." 

o 

The  beginning  of  a  new  year  carries  with  it  the 
atmosphere  and  indeed  the  reality  of  a  new  life. 
With  the  coming  of  1916  there  stretches  before 
us  a  span  of  time  that  will  be  spent  by  us  in 
performing  acts  which  will  reflect  our  ideals  and 
more  fully  establish  character.  In  this  lies  the 
value  of  the  New  Year's  resolution.  The  future 
has  much  in  store  for  us,  and  we  as  pilots  of  our 
own  lives  can  steer  our  course  to  the  desired 
point.  We  should  cultivate  high  thoughts,  high 
hopes,  high  aims,  and  a  resolution  to  attain  the 
pinnacle  of  a  laudable  ambition.  To  the  observer 
we  may  have  done  our  best,  we  may  have  grasped 
every  opportunity,  we  may  have  qualified  to  the 
letter  of  the  law,  but  each  one  of  us  can  review 
our  past  year  and  see  our  many  failures  which  a 
firmer  grip  would  have  turned  into  success.  Let 
us  resolve  that  as  the  opportunities  of  the  new  year 
come  to  us  we  will  more  diligently  and  zealously 
perform  our  tasks  looking  to  and  laboring  for  a 
fuller  compensation.

YIDDISH  OR  IRISH? 


The  first  Lord  Baltimore  took  his  title  from  a 
little  Irish  seaport  near  Cork.  What  was  the 
original  signification  of  the  word  was  long  a 
matter  of  dispute  :  but  modern  scholars  are  almost 
all  pretty  well  agreed  on  this  question.  As  is 
by  no  means  unusual,  Science  espoused  the  com- 
monplace, rejecting  a  theory  that  would  charm 
fancy-loving    Romance.     This    theory    was,    in

short,  that  "Baltimore"  meant  "Great  Baal's 
Temple." 

By  a  strange  coincidence  there  is  a  place  in 
Palestine  named  Baal-tamar.  Pronounced  rapid- 
ly, this  word  displays  a  striking  similarity  to 
Baltimore,  and  we  might  produce  a  strong  case 
for  the  Baal  theory  if  we  could  establish  an 
ancient  connection  between  these  remote  places. 
The  scholars  of  the  last  generation  thought  the}' 
had  done  this  when  they  found  in  the  tin  mines 
of  Cornwall  shafts  and  workings  of  known 
antiquity.  These  were  attributed  to  the  Jews  or 
the  Phoenicians  and  seemed  to  corroborate  the 
persistent  tradition  that  the  Phoenicians  made 
voyages  to  Britain  for  tin.  Substantial  evidence 
is,  however,  lacking,  so  we  must  attribute  these 
workings  to  the  native  Briton  or  to  his  energetic 
cousin,  the  Gaul.  Finally,  "Baal-tamar"  signifies 
"Sanctuary  of  the  Palm,''  and  has  no  connection 
with  the  god ;  so  our  romantic  theory  is  rendered 
untenable,  and  we  must  pass  on  to  something- 
more  probable. 

The  prefix  "Bal"  or  "Bally,''  so  frequently  met 
in  Irish  topography,  has  been  proved  by  recent 
philology  to  be  cognate  with  the  Sanscrit  "palli" 
(Greek  "  ttoXk  "  ;  Norse  "bol"),  which  means 
town  or  place.  The  second  syllable  "ti"  is  said 
to  be  merely  intensive ;  and,  as  the  last  syllable 
almost  certainly  has  a  meaning  nearly  akin  to  the 
English,  the  signification  of  the  whole  word  would 
be  "the  great  town." 

Had  our  forefathers  been  aware  of  this,  thev

would  doubtless  have  paused  before  giving  such 
an  epithet  to  their  rude  settlement  in  the  wilder- 
ness ;  yet  they  could  have  searched  far  for  a  name 
more  truly  auspicious. 


Glee  Club  Notes. 


We  wish  to  correct  a  typographical  error  in 
Ic'.st  month's  issue,  under  General  Items.  W. 
Lester  Baldwin,  of  the  Law  Department,  was 
elected  President  of  the  Glee  Club  instead  of 
\'ice-President.  Everett  L.  Bishop,  of  the  Medi- 
cal Department,  was  elected  Vice-President. 


Fifteen  'l(i  Law  men  were  present  at  the  last 
rehearsal  of  the  University  Glee  Club.  Two 
quartets  have  already  been  formed  from  one 
department.  The  "Senior  Law  Quartet"  is  J.  D. 
Armstrong,  first  tenor;  E.  E.  Oldhauser,  second 
tenor;  J.  A.  Farley,  barytone  and  W.  L.  Baldwin, 
basso.  The  new  quartet,  which  has  not  yet  been 
given  a  name  by  its  members,  consists  of  W.  C. 
House,  first  tenor  ;  E.  L.  G.  Wright,  second  tenor  ; 
A.  W.  Pardew,  barytone  and  D.  E.  Smith,  basso. 
These  men  are  very  enthusiastic  over  the  Glee 
Club  work  and  have  done  a  great  deal  toward 
keeping  things  livelv  about  the  law  building. 


HEXRV    D.   HARLAN  LAW   SOCIETY 
NOTES. 


The  last  month  of  the  old  year  has  seen  better 
attendance  at  the  meetings  of  this  society  than 
ever  before.  The  discussions  have  been  livelier 
and   have   seemed  more  interesting. 

The  Impromptu  Speaking  Contest,  which  has 
been  so  ably  conducted  by  President  Holmes's 
committee  consisting  of  Messrs.  J.  D.  Armstrong 
(chairman),  Herbert  Lev\-  and  J.  W.  Edel,  came 
In  a  close  the  first  meeting  night  in  December, 
viz.  December  .3rd.  Messrs.  Allen,  Baldwin, 
Cooper  and  Pardew  were  chosen  by  the  committee 
as  the  four  best  impromptu  speakers.  The  final 
contest,  to  decide  upon  the  best  speaker,  will  be 
held  later.

Dance. 
On  Wednesday  evening,  December  1.5th,  1915, 
the  society  held  a  dance  at  the  Garrison  Country 
Ckib — which  turned  out  to  be  a  great  success. 
The  large  ball  room  of  the  famous  club  was 
handsomely  decorated  with  plants  and  ferns  while 
the  walls  were  bedecked  with  numerous  banners 
and  pennants.  Many  friends  of  the  society  were 
present  and  every  one  of  the  forty  or  more 
couples  (even  those  who  did  not  "trip  the  light 
fantastic  out")  had  the  time  of  his  life.  The 
committee,  and  President  John  McN.  Holmes,  are 
to  be  congratulated  upon  the  huge  success  of  the 
Society's  first  social  attempt.

In  the  Mock  Tri^l  Court 

of  the 

Henry  D.  Harlan  Lazv  Society. 

Twenty-three  cents  as  a  balm  for  wounded 
affections ! !  This  was  the  verdict  returned  in 
the  above  entitled  cause,  by  a  very  eminent  jury, 
after  being  confined  until  eleven  o'clock  Saturday 
night,  December  ISth,  1915,  with  neither  food  nor 
drink  by  order  of  Court.  The  trial  was  begun 
at  8  o'clock  in  the  large  law  lecture  room  of  the 
University,  with  former  Judge  Harlan  in  the 
chair.  A  large  audience  of  ladies  and  gentlemen 
filled  the  "Courtroom"  to  its  capacity.  Walter 
\''.  Harrison,  of  the  1916  Law  Class,  who  appeared 
in  the  role  and  feminine  costume  of  the  plaintiff, 
was  seeking  balm  for  her  blighted  affections. 
Wm.  F.  Russell,  Jr.,  otherwise  known  in  the 
trial  as  "Gunpowder"  (owing  to  the  alleged 
spontaniety  of  his  affections)  was  the  defendant. 

Attorneys  for  the  defense  were  Gerald  F.  Kopp 


and  Edward  E.  G.  Wright ;  for  the  plaintiff, 
1.  William  Schimmel  and  Dudley  G.  Cooper. 
Witnesses  for  both  sides  caused  much  merriment 
in  the  crowded  "Courtroom,"  especially  when  the 
"little  brother"  of  the  plaintiff,  crowned  by  a 
golden  wig,  told  how  he  was  under  the  sofa  when 
the  alleged  proposal  was  made.  The  bailiff  was 
kept  busy  shouting  for  "silence  in  the  Courtroom" 
throughout  the  entire  trial. 

Among  the  jurors  were  the  following  mem- 
bers of  the  law  faculty :  G.  Ridgely  Sappington 
(foreman),  James  U.  Dennis,  Charles  McH. 
Howard,  Arthur  L.  Jackson  and  Forrest  Bramble. 

Witnesses  were  J.  D.  Armstrong,  plaintiff's 
father  (  ?)  ;  H.  A.  Waldkoenig,  plaintiff's  little 
brother  (  ?)  ;  E.  E.  Oldhauser,  rejected  lover;  and 
W.  M.  Lythe,  dancing  fiend. 

The  court  officers  were  J.  W.  Edel,  clerk ;  Jacob 
Kartman,  bailiff,  and  Irwin  J.  Sullivan,  stenog- 
rapher. 

W.  Lester  Baldwin,  chairman  of  the  mock  trial 
committee,  was  very  ably  assisted  by  Mr.  Frank 
J.  Sayler,  who  was  chairman  of  this  committee 
last  vear.

The  annual  oyster  roast  of  the  adjunct  faculty 
of  the  University  of  jNIaryland  and  Physicians 
and  Surgeons  was  held  at  the  Schlipper's  Pickel 
Factory,  Ridgely  near  Cross  Streets,  on  the 
evening  of  December  9th,  1915. 

This  oyster  roast  has  been  an  annual  custom 
of  the  College  of  Physicians  and  Surgeons' 
portion  of  our  faculty  for  several  years  and  is  an 
occasion  always  looked  forward  to  with  pleasure, 
as  the  committee  not  only  serves  up  an  excellent 
menu,  but  it  brings  into  intimate  social  contact 
the  various  members  of  the  faculty,  and  generates 
a  spirit,  which  is  helpful  to  the  institution,  and 
at  the  same  time  affords  an  evening  of  relaxation 
and  enjoyment  to  many  of  our  busy  faculty. 


A  large  representation  from  the  Physicians  and 
Surgeons'  portion  of  our  faculty  was  present, 
but  it  was  a  universal  regret  that  more  of  the 
University  of  Maryland  contingent  did  not  grace 
tiie  occasion  bv  their  presence.  However,  the 
committee  feels  that  the  half  dozen  of  the  latter 
representatives  will  serve  as  active  emissaries  in 
causing  a  much  greater  attendance  at  the  next 
meeting,  by  reciting  the  fineness  of  the  repast 
and  the  excellent  opportunity  for  relaxation  and 
enjoyment. 

The  menu  consisted  of  oysters,  ordered  direct 
from  Tangier's  Sound,  served  in  most  every  fash- 
ion, pig  tails  and  sour  krout,  beer  direct  from  the 
keg,  and  for  the  more  temperate  and  fastidious 
soft  drinks  and  real  coffee. 

Entertainment  was  offered  by  the  singing  of 
the  Schnitzelbank,  in  which  all  heartily  joined. 
InU  special  mention  should  be  made  of  the  lusti- 
ness with  which  Dr.  Edgar  B.  Friedenwald  sang 
his  part.  The  Salaamander  was  also  sung  under 
the  able  direction  of  Dr.  C.  E.  Bracks  The 
feature  of  the  entertainment  was  the  excellent 
rendition  by  Dr.  C.  E.  Brack,  of  the  Chariot  Race, 
on  a  piano,  which  was  well  ripe  with  age.  The 
force  with  which  Dr.  Brack  hammered  his  theme 
was  much  commented  upon  by  all  those  present. 

The  committee  consisted  of  Drs.  W.  \\". 
Requardt,  C.  E.  Brack,  and  A.  C.  Rytina.

upon  that  fair  city.  "Jiggs"  O'Donohue,  ex-'lo, 
sometimes  called  "Dinny,"  arrived  with  much 
pomp  and  splendor,  after  making  life  miserable 
for  the  train  butcher  for  several  hours.  He  at 
once  proceeded  to  kid  the  cab  drivers  at  the  sta- 
tion, gave  the  girls  on  King  street  an  exhibition 
of  how  English  clothes  are  being  worn  in  best 
circles  this  year,  and  completely  demoralized  the 
town  with  his  stage  jokes,  which  he  used  to  re- 
hearse during  lectures. 

During  the  Thanksgiving  vacation  a  Gazetti; 
reporter  ran  into  Chas.  Zimmerman,  ex-'15,  wild- 
ly swinging  on  a  strap  in  the  Philadelphia  '"Ele- 
vated." He  was  hiding  behind  a  few  of  the  most 
beautiful  shreds  of  crimson  brush  on  his  lip  that 
have  been  seen  for  many  moons.  The  color 
scheme  was  a  riot.  He  has  taken  the  laurels 
away  from  Dan  McMullen  for  all  time.  "Zimmy" 
has  lately  taken  unto  himself  a  wife.  In  all  jus- 
tice to  him  we  must  say  that  he  is  a  very,  very 
much  better  judge  of  feminine  beauty  than  he  is 
cf  the  proper  colors  which  should  be  associated 
ir.  one  moustache.  Here's  luck  to  you  in  your 
married  life ! 

R.  E.  Kanode,  '15.  now  of  Hagerstown,  Md., 
recently  paid  a  flying  visit  to  Baltimore.  Pie  is 
looking  fat  and  prosperous.  During  the  last 
n:onths  he  has  issued  several  writs  of  "Efus 
defus  tecum"  and  "L^fus  defus  tuces."  His 
chief  ambition  in  life  is  to  be  able  to  wear 
a  frock  coat  and  displa}-  himself  in  this 
disguise  to  the  Honorable  Judges  of  the  Court 
of  Appeals.  James  Hepborn,  '13,  is  given  until 
January  5th  to  show  cause  why  the  "Boss"  is  not 
entitled  to  adorn  his  landscape  with  said  frock 
coat.

There  are  two  kinds  of  men  in  the  class  of  '16: 
The  men  who  lift  and  the  men  who  lean. 
And,  oddly  enough,  you  will  find,  too,  I  ween. 
There's  only  one  lifter  to  ten  who  lean. 
Ill  which  class  are  you  ?     Are  you  easing  the  load 
Of  overtaxed  lifters  who  toil  down  the  road? 
Or,  are  you  a  leaner,  who  lets  others  share 
Your  portion  of  labor  and  worry  and  care?

With  examinations  near  at  hand,  a  puzzling- 
thesis  subject  staring  us  in  the  face  and  a  diploma 
so  near  ( and  yet  so  far) ,  it  is  surprising,  but 
gratifying,  to  find  such  remarkable  manifestations 
of  Class  and  University  spirit  as  have  been  shown 
by  the  members  of  the  191(i  law  class  during  the 
past  month.  Glee  Club  rehearsals,  Terrae  Mariae 
board  meetings.  Henry  D.  Harlan  Law  Society 
meetings,  dance  and  mock  trial  have  all  been  well, 
and  enthusiastically,  attended.  In  fact  they  have 
kept  our  "lifter's"  so  busy  that  nothing  short  of 
an  increase  in  the  number  of  days  in  the  week 
could  satisfy  'their  longing  for  a  few  days  of 
rest.  Here's  hoping  that  we  shall  all  enjoy  the 
respite  which  the  holidays  will  afford  us,  and  that 
we  shall  come  back  on  January  3rd  ready  to 
continue  these  all  important  activities  with  even 
more  zeal,  and  make  ours  a  banner  class.

Senior  Law  Advisory  Board. 

An  advisory  board  of  editors  for  the  1916 
Terrae  Mariae  has  been  chosen  from  the  Law 
Department  and  it  is  endeavoring  to  have  all  the 
material  from  this  department  in  the  hands  of 
the  editor-in-chief  before  the  Christmas  holidays 
begin. 

The  members  of  this  board  are  as  follows : 
W.  L.  Baldwin  (chairman),  N.  T.  Nelson,  E.  L. 
G.  Wright,  F.  H.  Henninghausen,  W.  V.  Harri- 
son, Herbert  Levy,  J.  A.  Farley  and  D.  G.  Cooper. 

The  purpose  is  to  enable  every  man  in  the 
class  to  have  a  friend  prepare  his  ^vrite-up,  and 
to  distribute  the  work,  in  order  to  raise  the  ItiKi 
Terrae  Mariae  to  as  high  a  standard  as  possible. 


University  Night. 
The  board  of  Terrae  Mariae  editors  has  deter- 
mined to  inagurate  a  new  thing  in  the  social  life 
of  the  University.  Instead  of  the  annual  senior 
theatre  party,  which  is  usually  held  around  this 
tmie  of  the  year,  it  is  proposed  to  inaugurate  a 
"University  Night,"  when  students,  alumni  and 
faculty,  from  all  departments  of  the  University 
will  be  invited  to  attend  the  performance  at  some 
local  theatre,  in  a  body,  with  ladies.  This  can 
and  should  be  made  a  time  for  great  demonstra- 
tions of  Class  and  L^niversity  spirit.  191(3  "L'ni- 
versity  Night''  will  be  observed  on  Monday 
night,  January  17th,  at  the  New  Academy  of 
Music,  at  which  time  Granville  Barker's  original 
London  Company  will  present  George  Bernard 
Shaw's  satirical  comedy,  "Androcles  and  the 
Lion."  Manager  Tunis  F.  Dean  assures  us  that 
this  will  be  one  of  the  best  shows  of  the  winter. 
It   ran   for  several   months   in    New  York   Citv. 


Active  work  will  be  begun  by  Messrs.  W.  L. 
Baldwin  and  D.  G.  Cooper,  who  are  represent- 
ing the  Law  Department  on  the  committee,  im- 
mediately after  the   Christmas   holidays. 


LAW— INTERMEDIATE 


Saturday  evening,  December  11,  191.5,  the  1917 
Law  Class  gave  a  theatre  party  followed  by  a 
supper.  The  class  occupied  the  mezzanine  boxes 
at  the  2\Iaryland  Theatre.  The  "get-together" 
after  the  Thanksgiving  holiday  was  a  huge  suc- 
cess and  much  credit  must  be  given  to  the  gentle- 
men who  served  on  the  committee  of  arrange- 
ments. The  Committee  consisted  of  Alessrs. 
Johnson,  Griiifith,  Kassan,  Roache  and  Hoffman. 
President  Hans  Froelicher,  Jr.,  presided  at  the 
table  in  his  usual  brilliant  manner.  Informal 
after  dinner  talks  were  made  by  various  members 
of  the  class.

rendition  by  j\Ir.  Griffitli  was  infinitel}'  superior 
to  anything  we  have  ever  heard  and  the  soft 
modulation  of  his  voice  while  declaiming  the 
most  pathetic  lines  brought  tears  to  the  eyes  of 
many.  It  rang  true  to  life  and  echoed  the  senti- 
ments of  those  present.  To  the  members  of  the 
class  who  were  unable  to  attend  we  respectfully 
and  urgently  suggest  that  they  prevail  upon  Mr. 
Griffith  to  recite  this  poem  for  them.

took  it  by  mistake.  If  so  it  should  be  returned  to

A  society  for  dental  students  was  started  on 
December  Ki,  l!)lo,  by  several  enterprising- 
seniors.  Dr.  J.  Hen  Robinson,  junior  demon- 
strator, presided  at  the  meeting  and  appointed  a 
ctmmittee  to  draw  up  a  constitution.  The  com- 
mittee is  composed  of  A.  J.  Aldridge,  MO;  A.  C. 
Albert,  'Ki  and  E.  B.  Lancaster,  '17.  The  com- 
niittee  will  report  Wednesday  evening,  January 
.->,  191(i.  Much  enthusiasm  is  being  demonstrated 
and  we  look  for  lasting  good  from  such  an 
organization.

Dr.  W.  A.  Rea,  demonstrator,  and  Mrs.  Beulah

received  a  gold  pocket  knife  and  the  latter  ,..  gold 
mounted  fountain  pen.  J.  Reece  Funderburk 
made  the  presentation  sjieech. 

Let  our  New  Year  resolution  be  that  every 
man  who  started  in  the  freshman  class  and  who 
has  been  carried  up  this  far  be  graduated  in 
June  l!)l(i. 


The  officers  of  the  infirmary  are  very  much 
pleased  with  the  work  of  the  senior  class,  claiming 
that  for  both  quantity  and  quality,  their  accomp- 
lishment surpasses  that  of  any  previous  class.

.  DENTAL— FRESHMAN. 


An  article  appeared  in  one  of  the  local  news- 
papers a  few  weeks  ago  posing  the  ladies  of  our 
class  as  "the  underlying  cause  of  dissension  which 
terminated  in  a  constitution  to  govern  the  class." 

Now  we  admit  that  a  body  of  laws  have  been 
composed  and  passed  upon  by  a  majority  of  the 
members  of  the  class ;  they  are  deserving  of  the 
highest  esteem ;  but  the  ladies  had  no  voice  in  this 
v/hatever.  They  have  neither  offered  advice  in 
class  meetings  or  otherwise,  nor  have  they  nego- 
ti?ted  with  other  members  of  the  class. 

This  being  true,  is  it  possible  for  them  to  ap- 
pear as  the  paper  stated?  We  beg  of  you,  dear 
author,  to  either  cease  from  interpretations  or 
become  more  proficient  in  your  methods  of 
espionage. 


J.  E.  Egan  was  taken  suddenly  ill  with  an 
attack  of  appendicitis  at  a  clinic  about  three 
weeks  ago.  He  was  operated  upon  at  the  Uni-

improved.  He  has  the  very  best  wishes  of  the 
entire  class  for  a  speedv  recovery.

PHARMACY— SENIOR. 


We  were  greatly  puzzled  not  many  weeks  ago 


Now  that  the  holidays  are  over  and  the  coming 
examinations  are  staring  us  in  the  face,  our  time 
is  naturally  closely  occupied  by  "boning  up"  for 
the  exams,  yet,  notwithstanding  this  fact,  there 
are  certain  matters  which,  although  they  have  no 
bearing  on  our  school  work  proper,  should  receive 
at  least  some  little  thought  and  attention.  These 
are  our  class  afi'airs. 

Each  member  should  consider  it  his  duty  to 
attend  all  class  meetings  and  take  an  active  part  in 
them,  as  there  will  be  many  important  matters 
to  discuss  in  the  near  future,  which  will  be  of 
concern  to  everyone.  Futhermore,  many  seniors 
have  until  now  neglected  to  have  their  photographs 
taken  for  the  annual.  There  is  absolutely  no 
excuse  for  any  further  delay,  and  the  individuals 
in  question  should  attend  to  this  at  once. 

Finally  a  word  as  to  the  management  of  the 
annual,  the  "Terra  Mariae."  Unlike  some  of  the 
previous  editions,  the  present  one  is  being  con- 
ducted on  a  strictly  business  basis,  especially  the 
financial  end  of  it.  Each  department  is  duly 
represented  on  the  stafif ;  the  pharmacy  depart- 
mnet  by  Mr.  Lee,  assistant  business  manager.  A 
detailed  account  of  all  receipts  and  disbursements 
will  be  kept,  and  the  financial  standing  will  be 
furnished  any  members  of  the  board  of  editors 
upon  request. 

Thus  the  editor-in-chief  and  business  manager 
have  plainly  shown  that  it  is  not  their  object  to 
act  as  absolute  bosses  over  the  book,  as  has  been 
the  case  heretofore,  nor  that  they  are  looking- 
for  personal  gain ;  and  for  these  reasons  they 
should  receive  the  confidence  and  financial  sup- 
port of  every  student.

At  the  meeting  of  the  class  on  Thursday,  De- 
cember 2,  Mr.  Kushner  resigned  as  Sergeant-at- 
Arms  and  at  a  call  meeting  on  the  following 
Thursday  Mr.  Sneed  was  chosen  as  successor. 
The  lanky  Tra\'eler  from  the  Blue  Ridge  is  phys- 
ically capable  of  maintaining  order  and  we  have 
no  doubt  that  one  withering  look  from  the  "Sarg" 
will  be  enough  to  quiet  the  most  obstreperous. 

At  the  same  meeting  Mr.  Bowes  was  elected

Thank  goodness  we  are  not  like  the  Seniors. 
We  have  no  "mashers"  of  the  weed  in  our  class. 
Not  one  of  our  number  would  be  guilty  of  such  a 
sacrilege  as  polluting  the  sacred  floors  of  our 
laboratory  v\'ith  expectorations  of  the  amber  fluid.

UNDERGRADUATE. 
The  first  of  the  series  of  Cotillion  Club  hops 
was  held  in  the  College  Gymnasium,  Friday 
evening,  December  10th.  It  was  a  very  enjoy- 
able afi'air  and  the  new  hop  committee  is  to  be 
congratulated-  especially  for  the  excellent  music 
provided.  Professor  and  Mrs.  Rippere  received. 
There  were  a  number  present  from  out  of  town.

NURSING. 


The  Alunnise  Association  of  the  University  Hos- 
pital Training  School  held  a  dance  at  Lehmann"s 
Hall  on  the  evening;  of  December  lith.  The 
proceeds  are  to  be  used  as  a  sick  benefit  fund 
for  the  nurses  of  the  Association.  A  special  car 
conveyed  the  members  of  the  training  school  to 
the  hall.  About  three  hundred  persons  were 
present.  Miss  Laura  Chapline,  class  of  1909. 
was  chairman  of  the  committee  on  arrangements 
and  we  all  are  greatly  indebted  to  her  and  her 
assistants,  for  their  splendid  eft'orts  in  making 
the  aft'air  such  a  great  success.

Crisfield,  when  it  was  burned  on  the  Chesapeake 
Bay,  some  time  ago,  has  been  confined  to  her 
home  at  the  Hampton  Court  Apartments,  since 
the  accident. — Miss  Wilhams'  patient  died  from 
exhaustion  and  both  were  taken  from  the  water 
by  a  motor  boat  and  taken  on  board  the  City  of 
Baltimore.  She  says  if  she  had  been  unable  to 
swim,  she  would  have  been  drowned — and  the 
experience  she  encountered,  she  will  never  ferget. 


BIRTHS. 


A  meeting  of  the  Maryland  State  Association 
of  Graduate  Nurses  was  held  at  the  Medical  and 
Chirurgical  Library  on  the  afternoon  of  December 
18th,  Miss  Lauber,  president,  in  the  chair.  A 
report  of  a  special  committee  was  presented  and 
freely  discussed,  the  chief  topic  being  "Com- 
pulsory registration." 

Dr.  Smith,  Superintendent  of  Johns  Hopkins 
Hospital,  gave  a  very  interesting  talk,  giving  his 
ideas  of  registration- — stating  in  part  that  he  con- 
sidered that  the  registration  of  nurses  was  as 
necessary  as  that  of  physicians.  Judge  Harlan 
was  scheduled  to  give  a  brief  talk  but  was  unable 
to  be  present. 

The  Association  is  aiming  to  procure  a  State 
Inspector  of  Training  Schools  and  compulsory 
registration  for  nurses  in  Maryland. 


Miss  Lucy  Lilly,  class  of  1915.  superintendent 
of  nurses  of  the  Rocky  Mount  Hospital,  Rocky 
Mount,  N.  C,  is  visiting  friends  in  the  city. 


Miss  Jane  Pennewell,  of  the  intermediate  class, 
who  was  confined  to  the  hospital  for  several 
weeks,  has  gone  to  her  home  at  Snow  Hill,  Md., 
to  recuperate.  

Miss  Betty  Butts,  class  of  1913,  was  operated 
on   at  the  hospital   recently. 


Miss  Emily  Kenney,  of  the  intermediate  class, 
had  a  Paracentesis  performed  recently  and  is  doing 
well.  

i\liss  Lillian  Blake,  class  of  1912,  had  a  Tonsil- 
lectomy performed  at  the  hospital  on  the  18th  of 
December.  

Miss  Martha  B.  Michael,  class  of  1893,  was 
operated  on  at  the  hospital  some  days  ago. 


Recently  to  Dr.  Wilbur  M.  Scott,  class  of  1913, 
and  Mrs.  Scott,  of  Devereaux,  Ga.,  a  daughter. 
Mrs.  Wright  was  formerly  Miss  Vera  Wright, 
University  Hospital  Training  School  for  Nurses, 
class  of  1909. 


To  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Hyde  Hopkins,  of  Baltimore, 
Md.,  December  17,  1915,  a  daughter.  Mrs. 
Hopkins  was  formerly  Miss  Lillie  Booker  Carter, 
University  Hospital  Training  School  for  Nurses, 
class  of  1909.

THl  UM¥IKSIT¥  ^AlITTI 


There's  a  man  In  the  world  who  is  never  turned  down. 

Wherever  he  chances  to  stray, 
He  gets  the  glad  hand  in  the  populous  town, 

Or  out  where  the  farmers  make  hay; 
He's  greeted  with  pleasure  on  deserts  of  sand, 

And  deep  in  the  trail  of  the  woods. 
Wherever  he  goes  there's  the  welcoming  hand, 

He's  the  man  who  delivers  the  goods. 

The  failures  of  life  sit  around  and  complain 

The  gods  haven't  treated  them  right; 
They've  lost  their  umbrellas  whenever  there's  rain, 

And  haven't  their  lanterns  at  night. 
Men  tire  of  the  failures  who  fill  with  their  sighs 

The  air  of  their  own  neighborhoods. 
There's  one  who  is  greeted  with  love-lighted  eyes 

He's  the  man  who  delivers  the  goods. 

One  fellow  is  lazy  and  watches  the  clock. 

And  waits  for  the  whistle  to  blow. 
And  one  has  the  hammer  with  which  he  will  knock 

And  one  tells  a  story  of  woe; 
And  one  if  requested  to  travel  a  mile. 

Will  measure  the  perches  and  roods. 

But  one  does  his  stunt  with  a  whistle  or  smile 

He's  the  man  who  delivers  the  goods. 

One  man  is  afraid  he  will  labor  too  hard — 

The  world  isn't  yearning  for  such; 
And  one  man  is  always  alert  on  the  guard 

Lest  he  put  in  a  minute  too  much. 
And  one  has  a  grouch  or  a  temper  that's  bad, 

And  one  is  a  creature  of  moods; 
So  it's,  "Here's  to"  the  joyous  and  rollicking  lad 

To  the  one  who  delivers  the  goods. 

— Walt  Mason.

THE  COLIvEGE  MAN  AS  A  LEADER.* 


By  Sydney  S.  Handy,  M.  A.,  Professor  of  Eng- 
lish, St.  John's  College. 


Mr.  Provost,  Faculty  and  Students  of  the  Univer- 
sity of  Maryland,  Ladies  and  Gentlemen : 

As  I  listened  to  the  eloquent  words  of  the  dis- 
linguished  gentleman  who  preceded  me  I  felt 
anew  the  significance  of  this  gathering — this 
bringing  together  the  various  departments  of  the 
University  of  Maryland.  Nowhere  do  we  find 
more  enthusiasm,  more  energy,  more  hopeful- 
ness, more  courage  than  in  groups  of  college  men 
and  women.  And  never  before  in  the  history 
of  the  world  has  the  college  occupied  so  promi- 
nent a  place  in  the  affairs  of  men  and  in  the  coun- 
cils of  the  nations.  So,  as  I  look  into  your  faces 
today  there  comes  into  my  mind  this  question : 
What  is  the  dominant  purpose  of  the  college? 
What  is,  in  large  terms,  its  most  significant  func- 
tion? It  is  to  a  consideration  of  this  question 
that  I  briefly  invite  your  attention. 

Answers  would  doubtless  vary.  Some  would 
say  the  college  exists  for  the  purpose  of  the  ac- 
quisition of  knowledge.  True,  this  is,  in  a  large 
measure;  for  surely  no  institution  of  learning 
could  exist  for  a  moment  unless  this  were  an 
important  part  of  its  work.  Yet  we  believe  there 
is  something  more  far-reaching  than  this. 

For  the  training  of  the  mind,  is  another  ready 
response.  This,  too,  is  important — indeed  in  this 
age  of  early  and  intensive  specialization,  of  vo- 
cational emphasis,  and  of  utilitarian  notions,  we 
are  in  danger  of  leaving  the  inestimable  value  of 
mind  training  almost  entirely  out  of  the  ques- 
tion.   This  is,  in  our  opinion,  unwise. 

But  mind  may  be  strong  either  for  good  or 
for  evil.  We  are  reminded  of  Milton's  mighty 
line, 

•Address  delivered  on  Academic  Day,  November  11, 
1915. 


"The  mind  is  its  own  place,  and  in  itself  can 
make  a  heaven  of  hell,  a  hell  of  heaven." 

So  not  to  mind  training  would  we  give  the 
most  prominent  place  among  the  answers  to  our 
question. 

What  then  is  the  dominant  purpose  of  the  col- 
lege ?  Mindful  of  the  progress  of  ages  past,  con- 
scious of  the  turmoils  of  the  human  race  at 
present,  and  with  a  firm  belief  in  a  still  greater 
and  grander  future,  we  are  of  the  opinion  that 
the  great  purpose  is  to  advance  civilization,  to 
blaze  the  way  to  more  important  discoveries  in 
the  realm  of  thought  and  action,  to  show  to  the 
world  what  greater  things  God  has  yet  in  store 
for  humanity. 

Upon  a  thousand  hills  of  our  broad  land  the 
college  stands  with  her  turrets  and  her  towers 
pointing  the  way  ever  onward  and  upward. 

Upon  a  lofty  hill  in  the  city  of  Richmond  there 
is  a  large  equestrian  statue.  It  overlooks  the 
city,  the  waters  of  the  noble  James  and  the  fields 
and  hills  of  old  Virginia.  It  is  the  statue 
of  Washington.  He  sits  upon  his  steed 
erect,  and  while  with  one  hand  he  holds  the  reins, 
with  the  other  he  points  the  way  with  extended 
arm  ever  onward  and  upward.  So  the  college 
calls  in  no  uncertain  tones  to  the  men  and  women 
of  our  generation  to  greater  discoveries,  greater 
inventions  and  greater  activities  of  mind  and 
soul. 

As  some  great  heroic  figure  upon  the  summit 
of  a  mountain  beckoning  to  those  below  to  come 
up  higher  to  gain  the  distant  view  where  lies  the 
promised  land  of  peace  on  earth  and  good  will  to 
men,  so  the  college  in  trumpet  tones  sounds  the 
forward  note  to  higher  aims  and  ideals,  to  nobler 
lives  and  loftier  deeds  for  the  complete  develop- 
ment of  the  human  race. 

And  yet  again  the  college  may  be  likened  unto 
an  angel  robed  in  white  flying  through  the  serene 
air  of  heaven,  bearing  the  torch  of  knowledge  in 
her  grasp,  and  calling  the  children  of  men  in  the

melting  harmonies  of  the  music  of  the  spheres — 
caUing,   ever  calhng,   from   darkness   into   hght. 

So  all  hail  the  American  college,  the  hope  of 
our  democracy  of  the  glory  of  our  nation ! 

In  what  shall  the  college  lead?  It  shall  lead  in 
the  solving  of  the  great  problems  that  now  perplex 
society.  The  great  questions  of  labor  and  capi- 
tal, of  the  proper  distribution  of  wealth,  of  equal 
opportunity  for  all,  of  our  position  in  international 
questions,  of  the  best  methods  of  fighting  crime, 
poverty,  disease  and  ignorance — these  and  many 
more  of  like  nature  are  claiming  our  attention. 
They  can  be  solved  only  by  the  careful  study  of 
our  college-trained  men.  It  must  never  be  forgot- 
ten that  the  large  majority  of  the  leaders  of  our 
country  today  are  college  men. 

You,  then,  gentlemen  of  the  University  of 
Maryland,  will  become  leaders.  In  medicine  you 
will  lead  in  the  great  discoveries  for  the  allevia- 
tion of  human  suffering.  You  will  aid  in  rid- 
ding us  of  the  incubus  of  incurable  disease.  Oh, 
what  a  blessing  to  men  is  that  man,  who, 
by  patient  research  discovers  a  cure  for  some  dis- 
ease that  has  been  a  scourge  to  humanity !  We 
honor  the  man  who  saves  one  life,  but  here  is 
one  who  saves  millions,  not  only  of  this  genera- 
tion, but  also  of  the  generations  to  come.  Bless- 
ings be  upon  you,  then,  gentlemen  of  science,  in 
your  efforts  to  make  the  world  better  and 
stronger. 

To  the  gentlemen  of  the  law  this  appeal  also 
comes  with  force.  There  is  a  great  majesty  of 
the  law.  It  guarantees  to  men  life,  liberty  and 
property.  It  preserves  evenly  the  scales  of  justice. 
Richard  Hooker  in  his  "The  Laws  of  Ecclesiasti- 
cal Polity"  pays  this  tribute  to  law : 

"Of  law  there  can  be  no  less  acknowledged 
than  that  her  seat  is  the  bosom  of  God,  her  voice 
the  harmony  of  the  world ;  all  things  in  heaven 
and  earth  do  her  homage ;  the  very  least  as  feeling 
her  care,  and  the  greatest  as  not  exempted  from 
her  power;  both  angels  and  men,  and  creatures  of 
what  condition  soever,  though  each  in  different 
sort  and  manner,  yet  all  with  uniform  consent  ad- 
miring her  as  the  mother  of  their  peace  and  joy." 

There  is  great  opportunity  in  the  law  to  render 
help  and  succor  to  those  who  are  oppressed  and 
wronged  by  the  greed  of  the  evil-doer.  Widows 
and  orphans  often  need  the  right  arm  of  the  law. 
In  every  case  of  oppression  there  is  the  oppressed, 


in  every  injury,  there  is  the  injured.  So  let  us 
not  forget  the  great  consolation  and  the  protec- 
tion of  the  law.  Here  is  a  splendid  opportunity 
for  leadership. 

And  you,  my  friends,  young  gentlemen  of  St. 
John's,  you  will  also  be  leaders.  In  every  village 
ir  our  State  are  leading  men  today  who  once  at- 
tended our  institution.  In  a  large  measure  they 
owe  their  greatness  to  the  lessons  learned  in  the 
classic  halls  of  old  St.  John's.  Her  past  has  been 
glorious.  The  Governor-elect,  Emerson  C.  Har- 
rington, is  an  alumnus,  and  not  the  least  of  his 
honors  is  that  he  caught  for  four  years  on  the 
St.  John's  baseball  team.  Be  ever  mindful  then 
of  the  name  and  fame  of  your  alma  mater. 

In  the  second  book  of  Virgil  Aeneas,  when 
thinking  of  the  great  deeds  of  his  country,  says : 
"Quorum  magna  pars  fui."  (A  great  part  of  these 
I  have  been.) 

So  you,  young  gentlemen,  in  the  coming  years, 
wTien  the  deeds  of  our  country  shall  be  recorded 
as  the  greatest  ever  performed  by  the  nations  of 
the  earth,  then  you,  too,  can  truly  say : 

"Quorum  magna  pars  fui." 

Lead,  then  my  countrymen,  but  lead  right ! 
Leadership  brings  responsibility.  When  the 
leaders  err,  then  the  people  indeed  fall  upon  evil 
days.  So  lead,  for  truth,  for  honor  and  for  justice. 

Possibly  it  may  not  be  the  destiny  of  all  to 
tread  the  paths  of  greatness.  Some  are  called  to 
more  humble  stations.  But  even  here  there  is 
need  of  leadership.  No  matter  in  how  sequestered 
a  spot,  or  how  insignificant  the  community  in 
which  we  reside,  there  is  abundant  opportunity 
for  leading  men  and  women  to  brighten  and  bet- 
ter things.  Many  suffer  for  want  of  competent 
counsel  and  in  every  locality  there  are  men  and 
women  looked  up  to  as  leaders  by  those  possibly 
more  unfortunate  than  they.  So  wherever  we  are, 
the  college  has  stamped  upon  our  brow  in  imper- 
ishable letters,  "Be  ye  leaders  of  men." 

And  finally  if  our  country,  the  mother  of  us  all, 
should  need  her  sons  in  her  defense  •  if  the  heel  of 
foreign  foe,  which  may  God  forbid,  should  tread 
upon  our  shores,  then,  mindful  of  our  great  lead- 
ers of  the  past,  of  the  noble  Washington,  of  Lin- 
coln, the  friend  of  the  people,  of  the  gallant  Grant, 
of  the  immortal  Stonewall  Jackson,  and  the  peer- 
less Lee,  stand,  men  of  Maryland,  stand  a  wall 
of  living-  fire  around  our  beloved  land.

OUR  UNIVERSITY— ITS  VAEUE. 


By  Bruce  C.  Lightner,  LE.B.,  Class  of  1915. 


In  a  recent  issue  of  the  Baltimore  Siin  there 
appeared  a  very  elaborate  article  deploring  the 
big  waste  of  funds  for  higher  schools  in  the  State 
of  Maryland.  This  creation  of  a  very  inventive 
and  undoubtedly  very  biased  mind  waxed  eloq- 
uent and  flowery  over  the  fact  that  during  the 
present  and  the  next  fiscal  year  the  Legislature 
will  have  appropriated  to  State  institutions  the 
sum  of  $1,048,6-14.88,  and  that  the  State  gets  as 
little  in  return  as  can  be  imagined.  The  writer 
further  stated  that  of  all  the  schools  receiving 
aid  from  the  State,  our  old  rival,  Johns  Hopkins, 
is  the  only  one  giving  an  adequate  return  for  its 
appropriation.  Of  this  sum  nearly  one-third, 
namely,  $300,000,  is  given  to  Johns  Hopkins.  On 
the  other  hand,  the  Maryland  State  University, 
of  which  it  can  be  fairly  said  that  the  University 
of  Maryland  is  the  backbone,  receives,  $30,000. 

It  seemed  perfectly  natural  to  the  writer  of  that 
article  that  Johns  Hopkins  should  receive  almost 
one-third  of  the  total  appropriation,  and  the  other 
colleges  should  be  satisfied  with  the  few  crumbs 
which  are  bestowed  upon  them.  He  also  seemed 
to  think  that  the  other  institutions  should  be  able 
to  give  the  same  results  on  their  small  allowance 
which  Hopkins  does  on  the  lion's  share. 

We  do  not  deny  for  one  minute  that  Johns  Hop- 
kins University  is  a  great  school,  but  we  do  con- 
tend most  emphatically  that  Hopkins  is  not  head 
and  shoulders  above  the  other  colleges  of  the 
State.  We  do  not  envy  the  laurels  which  the 
medical  school  has  won  for  Hopkins,  but  we  do 
get  somewhat  tired  of  reading  the  continual  press- 
agent  material  in  some  of  the  Baltimore  papers 
of  the  wonderful  educational  achievements  of 
Hopkins. 

Compare  Hopkins  with  the  University  of  Mary- 
land. Our  school  was  founded  half  a  century 
ahead  of  them.  From  the  start  we  have  had  an 
uphill  fight.  Many  serious  obstacles  have  been 
met  and  overcome.  The  University  of  Maryland 
is  not  an  endowed  school ;  comparatively  few  do- 
nations of  money  have  been  given  to  us,  and  it 
has  been  a  case  of  work  for  every  thing  we  have 
received. 


Hopkins  is  an  endowed  university.  It  has  re- 
ceived numerous  bequests  with  which  to  carry  on 
its  work,  but  even  in  view  of  these  facts  it  is  con- 
tinually setting  up  a  plea  for  more  money.  What 
have  they  done  with  their  money,  and  why,  in 
the  name  of  sound  reason,  should  they  receive 
almost  one-third  of  the  total  amount  appropriated 
by  the  State  ? 

The  University  of  Maryland,  alone,  as  one  of 
the  units  of  the  Maryland  State  University,  has 
approximately  1,600  students,  as  against  850  at 
Hopkins,  yet  the  entire  State  University  receives 
only  $20,000  to  be  divided  among  the  various 
colleges  of  which  it  is  composed. 

We  have  the  only  schools  of  Law  and  Phar- 
macy in  the  State, — the  Baltimore  College  of  Den- 
tal Surgery  is  our  only  rival  in  the  dental  field, 
and  Hopkins  our  only  rival  in  medicine.  Can  the 
writer  of  that  article  say  that  the  University  of 
Maryland  is  not  making  just  returns  for  its  appro- 
priations? Who  are  our  lawyers,  dentists,  phar- 
macists; yes,  we  will  even  take  issue  with  Hop- 
kins in  regard  to  doctors?  I  dare  say  that  an 
unprejudiced  survey  would  disclose  the  fact  that 
the  majority  of  the  leaders  in  their  respective  pro- 
fessions in  Maryland  are  men  who  have  been 
graduated  from  the  University  of  Maryland. 

In  the  article  in  question  another  statement 
was  made  in  regard  to  the  academic  courses  at 
our  colleges.  The  ridiculous  assertion  was  made 
that  the  courses  at  Baltimore  City  College  and 
Polytechnic  Institute  were  equal  to  those  of  our 
colleges.  Both  of  these  schools  are  preparatory 
schools  and  cannot  be  ranked  with  our  colleges. 
If  such  a  condition  were  true  why  do  many  gradu- 
ates of  these  institutions  matriculate  each  year 
as  regular  students  at  St.  John's  College,  our  aca- 
demic department  ?  The  only  answer  I  can  give 
is  that  they  do  not  enter  the  senior  class  at  St. 
John's,  and  this  is  the  best  proof  that  the  courses 
are  not  on  the  same  level.  City  College  and  Poly, 
offer  nothing  more  than  a  high  school  course,  ex- 
cept that  Poly,  specializes  in  engineering. 

Therefore,  we  are  rude  enough  to  join  issue 
with  the  writer  of  the  article  in  The  Sun.  We  con- 
tend that  the  State  receives  as  much  in  return 
for  its  appropriation  from  the  University  of  Mar\'- 
land  and  the  State  University  as  it  does  from 
Johns  Hopkins.     We  even  go  further,  and  say 


130

that  the  State  receives  as  much  from  us  in  return 
as  it  does  from  Hopkins,  notwithstanding  the 
great  difference  in  the  amount  of  the  appropria- 
tions. If  the  writer  of  the  said  article  can  show  us 
different,  then  we  will  be  willing  to  have  Hopkins' 
praises  set  to  music  and  proclaimed  the  national 
anthem.  We  will  then  sing  it  with  all  the  spirit 
and  good  will  which  students  of  one  college  should 
bear  toward  another. 


AN  INTER-FRATERNITY  BOARD. 


By  Bruce  C.  Eightner,  LL.B.,  Class  of  1915. 


One  of  the  most  urgent  needs  of  the  student 
body  of  our  University  at  the  present  time  is  an 
Inter-Fraternity  Board. 

The  University  of  Maryland  is  the  largest  col- 
lege in  the  State.  It  is  one  of  the  oldest  institu- 
tions of  higher  learning  in  the  United  States. 
Many  of  its  graduates  are  leaders  in  their  respec- 
tive lines  of  work.  On  the  strength  of  these  facts 
the  University  has  been  very  fortunate  in  securing 
chapters  of  some  of  the  strongest  national  fra- 
ternities in  the  college  world.  In  addition  to  the 
national  fraternities  we  have  several  local  frater- 
nities. 

There  has,  however,  been  too  much  of  the 
"dog-eat-dog"  spirit  displayed  by  the  various  fra- 
ternities. Each  fraternity  for  itself,  and  victory 
doubly  sweet  if  it  can  "put  one  over"  on  another 
fraternity. 

It  is  needless  to  say  that  this  spirit  should  not 
prevail.  Fraternities  take  in  only  those  men 
whom  they  think  are  entitled  to  membership  on 
account  of  some  achievement  on  their  part,  such 
as  scholarship,  excellence  in  athletics,  general 
goodfellowship,  etc.  Their  sole  object  is  to  grow 
stronger  and  be  a  credit  to  the  University.  Each 
fraternity  should  view  the  others  in  that  light. 
The  men,  although  they  are  not  fraternity  broth- 
ers, should  feel  that  they  have  something  in  com- 
mon by  being  honored  by  membership  in  a  fra- 
ternity. There  should  be  a  spirit  of  harmony  in- 
stead of  antagonism.  For  years  the  members  of 
the  various  fraternities  at  our  school  have  been 
knocking  the  others,  causing  general  enmity  and 
hard  feeling  all  around.     Is  it  not  time  to  wash 


off  the  war  paint  and  throw  away  the  hammers 
that  have  been  beating  such  an  incessant  tattoo 
on  the  anvil?  Let  the  fraternities  join  hands  and 
do  their  part.  An  Inter-Fraternity  Board  will 
do  the  rest. 

An  Inter-Fraternity  Board  could  easily  be  or- 
ganized, composed  of  one  member  from  each 
chapter.  Meetings  should  be  held  regularly  at 
the  various  fraternity  houses.  All  questions  aris- 
ing between  the  fraternities  could  be  decided  by 
the  board  instead  of  each  fraternity  trying  to 
have  its  way  and  waiting  to  stab  the  other  in  the 
back  for  revenge. 

The  board  could  provide  rules  for  the  "rush- 
ing" of  freshmen,  election  of  class  officers,  wheth- 
er or  not  liquor  should  be  allowed  in  the  chapter 
houses,  etc. 

At  present  there  is  no  agreement  in  regard  to 
"rushing"  freshmen.  Immediately  after  the  E'ni- 
versity  is  opened  in  the  fall  the  fraternities  swoop 
down  upon  the  freshman  and  run  him  through 
smoker  after  smoker  until  he  can  hear  his  tongue 
rattle  in  his  head  and  he  feels  like  a  smoked 
herring.  Often  the  freshman  makes  a  disadvan- 
tageous plunge  into  the  wrong  fraternity,  and 
often  the  fraternity  makes  a  poor  grab,  due  to  the 
short  time  in  which  they  have  to  act  under  the 
present  system,  or  lack  of  system.  Why  not  set 
a  date,  such  as  Thanksgiving,  up  to  which  time 
an  order  of  "Hands  off!"  should  apply?  This 
would  give  both  the  fraternity  and  the  freshman 
time  to  investigate  more  thoroughly  and  thus 
avoid  many  mistakes.  ^ 

An  agreement  in  reference  to  the  election  of 
class  officers  should  also  be  entered  into  by  all 
the  fraternities.  Cast  aside  the  old  "Ward-Boss" 
tactics  of  trying  to  railroad  your  fraternity  broth- 
ers into  office  regardless  of  their  qualifications 
and  fitness  for  the  offices.  Let  the  best  man  win. 
Naturally  a  fraternity  takes  pride  in  having  its 
members  in  office,  but  would  it  not  take  more 
pride  in  knowing  that  they  were  elected  by  the 
popular  vote  of  the  students,  and  not  through 
petty  fraternity  politics  ? 

Some  of  the  chapters  prohibit  liquor  in  the 
house,  while  others  permit  it.  This  should  cer- 
tainly be  a  question  for  the  board  to  decide.  This 
would  eliminate  the  "knocks"  which  one  fraterni- 
ty gives  another  at  the  present  time.

Think  it  over,  Fraternities,  and  decide  whether 
organization  would  not  be  more  beneficial  to  all 
concerned  than  the  present  "cut  throat"  system. 
Anti-Fraternity  legislation  is  now  being  at- 
tempted in  several  States,  based  mainly  on  the 
points  set  out  in  this  article.  Who  can  tell  when 
it  will  strike  here?  Get  busy  and  work  together, 
and  you  will  thus  eliminate  this  possible  dilemma. 


TRIP  THROUGH  THE  HUMAN  BODY. 


By  B.  P.  Jones,  Dental,  16. 


It  was  a  fine  summer  day  when  Bili  Rubin  and 
Bill  Verdin  closed  up  the  Ol-factory  and  invited 
their  lady  friends,  Ethyl  Alcohol  and  Bella  Don- 
na, to  accompany  them  to  the  Islands  of  Langer- 
han's  to  hear  the  great  Trochanter  speak  on  the 
Navel  question.  Bili  Rubin  had  procured  before 
Hand  a  bundle  of  Eats,  neatly  tied  up  with 
Spinal  cord,  costing  three  Bones. 

Pso-as  to  get  there  quickly,  they  sailed  down 
the  Alimentary  Canal  to  McBurney's  Point  in 
a  Blood  Vessel.  On  the  way  down  Bili  Rubin 
tried  to  make  Bella  Donna  believe  she  was  as 
Cutis  Vera,  but  in  Vein.  She  told  him  he  had 
too  much  Nerve  and  Gall,  and  to  be  careful  or  the 
Recurrent  Tibial  would  swamp  them.  Tym-panic 
had  sailed  there  before  and  the  Recurrent  Tibial 
had  Rectum  on  the  shores  of  Gall.  Poor  Sole! 
They  went  from  the  Alimentary  Canal  into  Hun- 
ter's Canal. 

Ethyl  Alcohol  was  reading  a  very  Humerus 
book  entitled  "On  The  Trail  of  the  Lonesome 
Spine,"  by  Mic-Robe.  Bili  Verdin  remarked  that 
he  was  green  at  sailing  but  was  not  as  Red-y  as 
Bili  Rubin.  At  the  end  of  Hunter's  Canal  the 
bunch  left  the  Vessel  in  the  hands  of  Art-ery  to 
get  some  Col-on  board.  They  crossed  the  Islands 
of  Langerhan's  on  Foot  via  the  Pons  Varolii. 
Within  a  Radius  of  half  a  mile  they  could  see 
flocks  of  Ducts.  The  Ducts  of  Lieberkuhn,  float- 
ing on  Peristalic  Waves.  On  reaching  the  island 
lunch  was  served  beneath  a  Shed  of  Tears,  away 
from  Solar  Rays.  Here  was  served  cold  Shoulder 
and  hot  Tongue  on  Flatlets  of  Wharton's  jelly, 
the  white  substance  of  Swan,  with  Heart-Beat 
Salad. 


After  lunch  Bili  Rubin  strolled  off  to  get  some 
of  Adam's  apples,  while  the  rest  of  the  body 
picked  berries  in  Peyer's  Patches.  They  thought 
they  could  hear  Eye-ball  and  Verte-brae  and 
were  very  much  frightened  and  this  grated  on 
Jacobson's  Nerve.  However,  by  taking  a  Glisson's 
Capsule  they  became  quite  Serus.  The  noise  they 
heard,  however,  was  the  music  from  the  Dental 
Band  marching  along  the  Alveolar  Border  to 
Meat  the  great  Trochanter,  who  was  coming  to 
the  Island  in  a  Lymph  Vessel,  decorated  with 
Two-lips,  and  propelled  by  the  Oculo-motor.  The 
great  Trochanter,  having  pointed  out  the  Vas  De- 
ferns  between  the  two  Navel  policies,  told  about 
his  Tryps-in  the  Teres  Minor,  with  Sartorius ;  he 
also  told  about  the  Pacchionian  Bodies  buried  in 
the  Pyramids  of  Malpighi  and  the  Temple  built 
in  the  regiion  of  Gluteus  Maximus.  The  pro- 
ceedings were  very  much  interrupted  by  Ro- 
lando and  Sylvius,  Fissures  by  trade  who  had 
been  down  to  Glen-oid,  a  Tough  Joint,  and  got 
"stewed."  E-rips-in  and  smashes  Lymph's  nose. 
They  had  their  Cheek  all  right. 

The  Nerve  of  Bell  was  shown  when  he  leeped 
the  Loops  of  Henle — some  Feet  I  assure  you. 
Some  of  the  people  rode  Bronchi  up  and  down 
the  race  Tracts  of  Gall  and  Burdach;  others 
watched  the  Ce-cum  in  on  the  shore.  The  children 
enjoyed  the  Cytes  of  L'euko-  and  Lympho-  and 
made  their  Pa-tell-a  story  to  them.  After  con- 
sulting the  Auricles  of  the  Heart  they  all  went 
home  through  the  Ventricles.  At  present  Bili 
Verdin  is  in  the  Central  Acini  Cells  with  the 
Giants  breaking  Gall  Stones  for  insulting  the 
Great  Omentum.  This  made  Poly-morph  sore,  so 
she  caught  Oliva  by  the  Body  and  placed  him 
in  the  Cell-a  Tursica,  taking  a  Spleen  and  making 
Osteoblasts  across  his  Solar  Plexus,  then  Amy- 
lopsin  spoke  of  Indican  and  Skatol  being  in  at- 
tendance. Now,  concerning  poor  Bili  Rubin — 
alas ! !  he  Tryps-in  the  Ol-factory  and  loses  his 
Toes.    It  must  be  terrible  to  Lac-tose — amen.

Since  the  last  issue  of  the  Gazette  there  has 
been  a  complete  reorganization  of  the  Editorial 
staff.  The  object  is  to  have  all  departments 
equally  represented  and  to  secure  representatives 
who  will  show  an  active  interest  and  who  will 
feel  a  responsibility  in  the  success  of  the  paper 
and  so  support  its  columns.  At  one  of  the  meet- 
ings of  the  Editorial  staff  the  suggestion  of  creat- 
ing an  individuality  in  the  paper  was  strongly 
urged.  This  can  best  be  done  by  the  editors  and 
friends  interesting  themselves  by  writing  articles 
of  general  interest  for  the  Gazette.  All  are  re- 
quested to  assist  the  Editors  in  making  this  paper 
second  to  none  among  the  college  papers  of  the 
country. 


One  of  the  things  vitally  essential  to  the  suc- 
cess of  any  publication  is  its  circulation.  The 
circulation  of  the  Gazette  among  the  students,  we 
are  frank  to  admit,  has  not  been  what  it  should  be. 
We  have,  however,  received  splendid  support 
from  the  alumni  and  this  has  helped  in  a  way  to 
offset  the  apparent  lack  of  interest  among  the 
students. 

We  feel  confident  that  if  the  student  will  take 
the  trouble  to  acquaint  himself  with  the  Gazette 
and  what  it  is  doing  he  will  immediately  realize 
what  he  has  hitherto  missed.  The  Gazette  pro- 
poses to  give  the  students  a  real  "live,  up-to-the- 
minute"  college  paper,  and  to  do  this  we  must 
have  your  support  and  co-operation.

THE  FABLE  (IN  SLANG)  OF  AN  ALTRU- 
ISTIC DENTAL  STUDENT. 


Once  there  was  an  ass — beg  pardon,  a  dental 
student.  Like  Caesar  he  came,  he  saw,  but  did 
he  conquer?  It  was  just  about  the  time  of  his 
coming  that  his  cerebral  mechanism  had  received 
into  some  of  its  convolutions  a  certain  bug.  This 
particular  bug  was  the  exalting  bug  of  ALTRU- 
ISM, and  it  came  straight  to  that  poor  boob's  door 
knob,  strange  to  say,  direct  from  the  "nuts"  of 
several  of  the  most  ardent  believers  in  its  buzz 
and  sting.  It  had  tried  to  alight  before,  and  had 
almost  succeeded  inasmuch  as  the  kid  was  hot- 
headed and  gave  it  a  warm  reception.  Why, 
when  just  old  enough  to  wear  galluses  he  had 
thought  of  the  day  he  could  feel  in  his  bones  the 
right  to  push  out  his  jersey,  swell  up  and  feel  as 
gay  as  the  guy  who  wrote  "Home,  Sweet  Home." 
Time  came  when  he  felt  much  like  taking  a  real 
practical  swig  of  his  own  out  of  the  demijohn  of 
helpfulness  and  good.  Thereby  he  began  to  cast 
his  lachrymal  orbits  all  about  and  around  for  a  fit 
subject  for  experimentation  upon  and  research 
therewith. 

He  found  the  subject.  A  small  skirt,  model  18, 
stock  No.,  Potash  and  Perlmutter.  He  found  one 
chicken.  She  had  one  sweet  a  da  beake,  and  fina 
da  expression.    You  know  the  kind.    That  sweet

ilrooping  lily,  ready  to  be  undrooped,  and  every- 
thing was  all  set  and  ready  to  unjosh  the  droops. 
The  student  made  a  bunch  of  figures  around  his 
head  and  came  to  think  that  what  the  jane  needed 
wasateaspoonful  (large  size)  of  his  unadulterated 
and  untapped  brand  of  altruism.  So  he  began  the 
undrooping.  With  a  liquid  eye  he  looked  over  and 
down  her  masticatory  cavity  and  finds  the  chief 
masticatory  organs  scarce  as  hen's  teeth.  Once 
more  he  feels  the  thrills  of  exaltation.  The  hero 
must  aid  the  suffering  and  rescue  the  perishing. 
He  would  give  a  mint  for  a  watchword.  He  must 
have  a  watchword  to  succeed.  With  restora- 
tion he  links  that  awful  word  SACRIFICE.  He 
needs  this  word,  too,  for  the  poor  thing  can  only 
make  a  time  to  have  her  dental  work  done  after 
the  hour  of  six  in  the  evening.  The  reason :  She 
would  rather  loaf  on  the  boss  than  on  the  Kid. 
So  thusly,  the  Kid  joins  the  night  class,  for  he 
realizes  a  late  evening's  work  for  many  days  in 
the  old  infirmary.  Nevertheless  he  answers  the 
call  of  "Bring  on  the  Gladiator,"  and  prepares 
to  grasp  this  noble  piece  of  specimen  work  to  be. 

He  wur-ruks,  he  labors,  he  cusses.  He  fits  a 
band  for  a  crown  and  pays  for  the  Kid's  mate- 
rial. A  crown  which  he  makes  the  big  mistake  to 
think  is  a  crown  of  glory  and  joy  forever.  Gosh! 
This  inspissated  hunk  of  prune  thinks  he  is  an 
altruist,  perhaps  as  great  a  man  as  Henry  Ford 
or  the  late  deceased  Booker  T.  Washington. 

But  all  of  a  sudden  he  is  rudely  awakened. 
Another  actor  has  entered  upon  the  scene.  An- 
other ass — pardon,  another  dental  student.  The 
newcomer  speaks  to  the  young  thing.  There  is  a 
physiological  phenonenon  called  "reciprocal  in- 
nervation." I  have  it  a  reciprocal  attraction  and 
consequent  attachment.  The  chicken  flew  the 
first  kid's  coop.  She  left  him  with  blasted  hopes 
of  expected  thankfulness,  with  his  circulatory 
pump  reversed,  his  gears  grinding,  the  bug  Black

Flagged,  and  his  dough  sticky  and  lacking  yeast, 
while  his  thoughts  were  damnable. 

Some  say  a  chicken  will  come  home  to  roost, 
but  the  kid  has  locked  the  coop  and  thrown  the 
key  away.  This  kid  on  the  following  day  re- 
quested the  demonstrator  to  search  him  out  a 
handsome  cleaning.  Mor.'Vl:  Never  put  arsenic

THE  DICKERSOX  LAW  SOCIETY. 


With  Messrs.  William  L.  Murphy,  Jr.,  and  J. 
I.  McCourt,  as  president  and  secretary,  respec- 
tively, the  Dickerson  Law  Society,  of  the  interme- 
diate class,  has  been  very  active  since  its  reor- 
ganization last  October.  The  meetings  are  held 
every  Friday  night,  from  7  to  8  P.  M.  Several 
juniors  have  been  taken  in  as  members  and  they 
have  shown  as  much  interest  and  enthusiasm  as 
the  members  of  the  intermediate  class. 

The  object  of  the  society  is  to  train  its  mem- 
bers in  the  art  of  forensic  oratory  and  to  teach 
them  to  debate  upon  a  subject  without  having 
first  prepared  it. 

Several  spirited  debates  have  been  held  and 
the  subjects  proved  interesting  and  instructive 
to  the  members  present.  On  one  occasion  the 
society  formed  a  congress  and  then  argued  on 
the  bill  which  was  presented  for  their  considera- 
tion. A  debate  was  held  recently  with  the  debating 
team  of  the  Young  iMen's  Christian  Association, 
at  which  time  the  judges  decided  in  favor  of  the 
Dickerson  Law  Society. 

The  most  elaborate  affair,  however,  that  the 
society  has  held  was  a  mock  trial  which  took 
place  on  Wednesday,  December  28, 1915.  At  that 
time  the  friends  and  relatives  of  the  members 
were  invited  and  the  attendance  was  so  large  that 
many  were  turned  aawy.  The  accused,  Mr. 
Hiram  C.  Griffin,  was  on  the  stand  for  the  murder 
of  the  only  daughter  of  a  multi-millionaire.  He 
was  ably  defended  by  Messrs.  Page  and  Penn,

and  on  behalf  of  the  State  Messrs.  Murphy  and 
Silberstein  proved  a  good  match  for  their  oppo- 
nents. The  trial  was  presided  over  by  Judge 
Gorter  and  the  jury  found  a  verdict  in  favor  of 
the  accused. 

The  training  which  the  members  get  at  the 
meetings  of  the  society  was  clearly  brought  out 
at  the  trial.  H.  Wroth  Shenton,

ITEMS. 


MEDICAI^GRADUATE. 


At  the  last  meeting  of  the  Faculty  of  Physic 
Dr.  Albert  H.  Carroll,  class  of  1907,  was  promoted 
from  associate  to  associate  professor  of  Gastro- 
Enterology.  For  some  years  Doctor  Carroll  has 
been  devoting  his  entire  attention  to  diseases  of 
the  gastro-intestinal  tract  and  has  been  doing 
very  meritorious  work  along  these  lines. 

When  he  took  charge  of  the  dispensary  clinic 
it  had  dwindled  away  to  almost  nothing  and  now, 
by  his  energy,  enthusiasm  and  competency,  he  has 
made  it  one  of  the  largest  and  best  conducted  de- 
partments of  the  dispensary.  Always  on  the  alert 
to  increase  the  efficiency  of  the  gastro-enterologi- 
cal  clinic,  he  has  spared  no  effort  in  time  or  en- 
ergy. Hence  his  promotion  comes  with  especial 
gratification  to  his  friends  and  colleagues. 

Doctor  Carroll's  best  work  has  been  along  the 
lines  of  fractional  gastric  and  duodenal  analyses. 
By  this  method  it  has  been  demonstrated  that  the 
gastric  digestion  passes  through  a  cycle,  varying 
according  to  the  stage,  in  either  the  normal  or  ab- 
normal individual.  Thus  it  has  been  proven  that 
reliance  should  not  be  placed  upon  a  single  gastric 
analysis,  but  that  a  number  of  analyses  of  con- 
tents withdrawn  at  stated  intervals  should  be 
made  before  a  diagnosis  is  attempted.  He  has 
likewise  attained  a  considerable  degree  of  both  lo- 
cal and  general  prominence  by  his  writings  on  the 


subject  dearest  to  his  heart — diseases  of  the  ali- 
mentary tube. 

He  has  shown  a  marked  degree  of  executive 
ability  not  only  in  his  organization  and  manage- 
ment as  the  president  of  the  University  of  Mary- 
land Medical  Society,  but  also  as  president  of  the 
Medical  Alumni  Association,  as  secretary  of  the 
General  Alumni  Association  and  of  the  Medical 
and  Chirurgical  Faculty,  each  one  and  all  of 
which  positions  has  felt  the  impulsion  of  his  en- 
ergy. It  is,  therefore,  with  particular  gratifica- 
tion that  the  Gazette,  on  behalf  of  his  friends, 
congratulates  Doctor  Carroll  upon  his  well- 
merited  promotion. 


Dr.  Ralph  P.  Truitt  was  in  the  city  a  few  days 
ago.  For  the  past  two  years  he  has  been  making 
his  home  in  Louisiana.     He  was  on  his  way  to 

visit  his  parents  in  Snow  Hill,  Md.

Dr.  A.  Aldridge  Matthews,  class  of  1900,  super- 
intendent of  the  University  Hospital  from  1903  to 
1904,  and  now  practicing  in  Spokane,  Wash.,  was 
also  a  recent  visitor.  He  was  greeted  by  many  old 
friend  and  extensively  entertained.  Mrs.  Mat- 
thews accompanied  him. 


Dr.  Vincent  J.  Demarco,  class  of  1915,  who  is  an 
intern  at  the  Metropolitan  Hospital,  was  here  on  a 
visit  of  several  days. 


Dr.  A.  S.  Coleman,  class  of  1914,  has  resigned 
his  position  as  resident  gynecologist  to  the  Univer- 
sity Hospital  and  gone  to  Columbus,  Ga.  He  will 
act  as  resident  surgeon  in  a  sanitarium  there. 


We  are  glad  to  learn  that  Dr.  John  D.  Fiske, 
class  of  1875,  who  fell  down  the  ladder  of  a  steam- 
boat recently  and  fractured  the  surgical  neck  of  the 
humerus,  is  making  a  good  recovery,  and  has  been 
seen  around  the  Hospital  little  the  worse  for  the 
accident. 


The  Adjunct  Faculty  of  the  University  of  Mary- 
land Medical  School  and  the  College  of  Physicians 
and  Surgeons  organized  and  elected  the  following 
officers  :  President,  Dr.  Wilbur  P.  Stubbs ;  Secre- 
tary, Caleb  Winslow ;  Executive  Committee,  Drs. 
William  Tarun,  G.  Milton  Linthicum  and  Alexius 
McGlannan.  The  officers  were  instructed  to  pre- 
pare by-laws  to  govern  the  organization.  The 
Faculty  consists  of  over  100  physicians  who  are  on 
the  teaching  staff  of  the  Medical  School.  The  at- 
tendance was  good,  there  being  about  60  members 
present. 


LAW— GRADUATE. 


Mabbett  K.  Reckord,  class  of  1914,  who  is  now 
located  at  901  Keyser  Building,  has  recently  re- 
turned from  Atlantic  City,  where  he  spent  nearly 
three  months  for  his  health. 


Messrs.  Fisher  &  Fisher,  of  the  class  of  1909, 
have  removed  their  law  offices  from  18  E.  Lex- 
ington St.  to  the  Union  Trust  Building. 


Saul  Praeger,  of  Cumberland,  Md.,  was  in  the 
city  during  the  past  week  working  on  an  impor- 


tant law  case  which  is  to  be  tried  in  Allegany 
county  in  the  near  future.  Mr.  Praeger  repre- 
sents a  lady  who  is  suing  a  well-known  Cumber- 
land physician  for  damages  caused  by  the  fact 
that  she  has  turned  black.  This  fact  is  due,  she 
claims,  to  the  large  quantities  of  nitrate  of  silver 
she  has  taken  on  the  physician's  orders.  Mr. 
Praeger  graduated  from  the  Law  School  of  the 
L^niversity  of  Maryland  in  1911. 


John  L.  Cornell,  class  of  1913,  counsel  for  the 
Society  for  the  Suppression  of  Vice,  has  just  is- 
sued an  interesting  pamphlet  on  "The  Abolition 
of  the  Red-Light  District."  Copies  of  this  article 
may  be  secured  by  writing  Mr.  Cornell  at  628 
Equitable  Building. 


William  J.  Riordan,  class  of  1914,  spent  about 
a  week  at  his  old  home  at  Mt.  Vernon,  N.  Y.,  re- 
cently. No,  Mt.  V^emon  is  not  the  home  of  the 
famous  whisky  of  that  name. 


"Boss"  Kanode  and  Bruce  Lightner,  both  of 
the  class  of  1915,  composing  the  well-known  law 
firm  of  Kanode  &  Lightner,  of  Hagerstown  Flag 
Station,  were  aroused  from  their  usual  morning 
siesta  several  days  ago  by  a  caller.  No,  it  didn't 
happen  to  be  a  client,  and  was  none  other  than 
Paul  M.  Taylor,  the  much-talked  of  Baltimore 
lawyer  and  journalist.  This  is  the  third  caller 
this  renowned  firm  has  had  this  month — the  other 
two  were  book  agents.  It's  strange  the  way  busi- 
ness keeps  up ! 


"Prof."  Alexander  Geddes,  the  sweet  singer  of 
democracy,  who  was  officially  crowned  Poet  Lau- 
reate by  his  Honor  James  Harry  Preston,  was  the 
guest  recently  of  the  Henry  D.  Harlan  Law  So- 
ciety, and  entertained  the  members  with  what  he 
called  his  "comedy  scream  and  crying  act." 

The  "Professor"  recited  "Old  Ned's  Christ- 
mas," which  is  even  better  than  "The  Face  on  the 
Barroom  Floor"  (the  Professor  admits  it  him- 
self), and  sang  several  songs  in  his  rich  tenor  ( ?) 
voice,  being  accompanied  in  the  chorus  by  that 
well-known  University  soloist,  Mr.  "Jimes" 
Byrne.

Abe  Rosenthal,  class  of  1915,  recently  suc- 
ceeded in  defeating  such  legal  lights  as  Louis  Ash- 
man and  Bernard  Cline  in  a  case  in  the  Circuit 
Court  of  Baltimore  city.  Rosenthal  represented 
the  plaintiff  in  a  case  where  a  conveyance  of  real 
estate  was  attacked  on  the  grounds  that  it  was 
made  to  defraud  creditors. 


LAW— SENIOR. 


We  wish  to  extend  our  hearty  congratulations 
to  the  following  of  our  classmates  who  passed 
the  recent  State  Bar  examination :  Allen,  Arm- 
strong, Bailey,  Bloede,  Brickwedde,  Cooper,  D. 
G. ;  Cooper,  W.  H.;  Diggs,  Farley,  Gambrill, 
Gwynn,  Henninghausen,  Hughes,  Kieffner,  La- 
mar, O'Connor,  Pardew,  Rosenberg,  Russell, 
Schmied,  Sullivan  and  Thomas. 


Mr.  William  Frazier  Russell,  Jr.,  of  Chester- 
town,  Md.,  has  found  it  necessary  to  give  up  his 
work  at  the  University  because  of  illness.  The 
strain  of  the  Bar  Examination  and  preparations 
for  the  January  examinations,  together  with  his 
work  as  instructor  at  the  Maryland  School  for  the 
Blind,  proved  too  much  for  himi.  He  has  been 
compelled  to  give  up  his  work  at  the  Blind 
School  and  is  now  recuperating  at  Palm  Beach, 
Florida.  ( ?) 

Mr.  Russell  has  had  many  requests  from  the 
citizens  of  his  home  town  and  county  to  open  up 
his  law  office  there,  and  expects  to  do  so  as  soon 
as  he  recovers  his  health.  He  made  a  very  envi- 
able record  in  debating  and  oratory  at  Washing- 
ton College,  from  which  he  graduated  in  1912, 
and  he  lead  the  class  at  the  University  in  Prac- 
tice Court  work,  being  the  only  man  to  receive  a 
perfect  mark  in  both  pleadings  and  argument  of 
every  case  he  tried. 

"Fraz's"  pleasant  smile  and  great  personal 
magnetism  have  won  for  him  many  friends  among 
his  classmates,  who,  because  of  his  recognized 
ability,  are  very  proud  to  send  him  back  to  his 
Eastern  Shore  as  a  representative  of  the  class  of 
*16.  We  deeply  regret,  however,  losing  four 
months'  of  his  delightful  companionship.

We  believe  one  of  Cumberland's  fair  damsels 
took  advantage  of  her  leap  year  rights  while 
"Huesie"  was  home  during  the  holidays  and  pre- 
vailed upon  him  to  "put  out  his  shingle"  at  once. 
We  congratulate  her  for  grasping  opportunity 
by  the  forelock  and  catching  such  a  splendid 
partner — but  we  miss  him  very  much  at  the 
University. 


Mr.  Wendell  D.  Allen  has  been  made  secre- 
tary to  one  of  the  Senate  committees,  of  which 
his  father  is  an  influential  member.  Wendell  as- 
sures us  that  he  will  do  all  he  can  to  secure  a 
large  appropriation  for  his  alma  mater — Wash- 
ington College — to  enable  it  to  replace  the  mag- 
nificent William  Smith  Hall,  which  was  destroyed 
by  fire  Sunday  morning,  January  15th. 


The  following  men  have  been  chosen  by  Prac- 
tice Court,  Judges  Sappington  and  Bramble,  to 
contest  in  the  preliminaries  for  the  Honor  Case : 
Baldwin,  Kieft'ner,  Levy  and  Bartlett;  Holmes, 
Pardew,  Allen  and  Kartman ;  Leitch,  Cooper,  D. 
G.,  Sullivan  and  Gambrill.  The  four  best  men 
will  be  chosen  for  the  Honor  Case  in  April. 


The  Henry  D.  Harlan  Law  Society  has  been 
unable  to  hold  but  one  meeting  during  the  month 
because  of  quizzes  and  examinations.

At  its  last  meeting  the  class  decided  upon  a 
class  pin,  a  matter  which  had  been  under  discus- 
sion ever  sinre  this  time  last  year.  The  pin  is  a 
plain  design  of  Roman  gold,  bearing  the  let- 
ters U  of  M,  '16,  in  black  enamel 


After  all  the  holidays  were  the  sweeter  on  ac- 
count of  their  being  short.  Thanks  to  Brother 
Schmidt,  who  deserves  all  the  credit  for  our 
presence  on  the  three  days  which  we  declared 
holiday.  

It  is  perhaps  now  in  order  for  the  class  to  de- 
cide upon  a  Washington's  Birthday  holiday  ex- 
tension.

Since  the  last  issue  a  radical  change  has  been 
made  in  the  editorial  plan  of  the  Gazette.,  which 
change  is  fully  explained  in  other  pages  of  this 
issue.  We  realize  our  shortcomings  and  have 
endeavored  to  make  this  journal  more  worthy  of 
your  esteem  and  support.  For  one  to  be  really 
interested  in  any  thing  the  editor  of  this  de- 
partment feels  that  it  is  necessary  to  have  the 
members  of  the  class  feel  that  they  are  a  part  of 
that  thing.  Eor  this  reason  we  have  asked  in  these 
columns  for  news  items  and  suggestions  from  the 
class,  but  in  vain. 

Again  we  sound  the  S.  O.  S.  May  wc  not  in 
the  future  count  on  your  assistance  in  making  a 
Greater  Gazette? 


On  Thursday,  January  14th,  the  class,  after 
much  discussion,  civil  and  otherwise,  adopted 
the  honor  system.  Up  to  the  time  of  going  press 
no  definite  plans  have  been  agreed  upon.  Let's 
get  together,  fellows,  and  not  number  ourselves 
among  the  failures  along  this  line. 


After  beginning  the  year  with  a  most  remark- 
able display  of  interest  and  enthusiasm  class  spirit 
seems  to  be  decidedly  on  the  wane.  Out  of  73 
members  only  25  were  present  at  the  last  class 
meeting.  A  still  smaller  number  have  paid  their 
dues.  If  we  have  that  banquet  we  must  get  busy 
at  once  as  the  time  approacheth.  Come  on,  gen- 
tlemen, start  something!

Mr.  Paulk  ("from  Georgia,  suh"),  emergency

brewery,  but  resembling  miostly  the  last  named. 
Get  any  connection  between  the  last  two  ? 


Mr.  Retaliatta  has  been  looking  very  pale  and 
melancholly  of  late.  Can  anyone  diagnose  his 
case?  We  have  already  formed  an  opinion  and 
have  decided  that  his  malady  is  beyond  the  aid 
of  any  drug  yet  discovered.  Seems  to  be  the 
wrong  season  of  the  year  though  and  quite  con- 
trary to  "In  the  spring  a  young  man's  fancy,"  et 
cetera.  

Judging  from  some  of  the  long-winded  discus-

Last  week  we  went  into  a  lunch  room  to  ob- 
tain something  to  satisfy  the  demand  of  the  in- 
ner man.  Seeing  an  apparently  appetizing  three- 
storied  hunk  of  cake  covered  on  top  with  choco- 


late icing  and  sprinkled  with  coaconut,  we  de- 
cided to  take  a  chance.  Steve  Brodie  fared  little 
worse.  The  aforementioned  cake  was  handed 
out  with  a  spoon  which  looked  rather  suspicious. 
On  being  touched  with  the  spoon  the  socalled 
cake  immediately  went  into  pieces,  bearing  a 
sticky  resemblance  to  corn  flakes.  Undismayed, 
we  tried  to  corrall  a  few  of  these  shavings  with  the 
spoon,  but  as  soon  as  they  were  touched  they  too 
broke  up  into  smaller  pieces.  After  about  10 
minutes,  when  the  particles  began  to  approach 
the  molecular  state,  we  gave  up  in  despair.  This 
goes  to  prove  the  truth  of  one  familiar  saying: 

"They  all  look  good  when  they're  far  away," 
and  the  fallacy  of  another, 

"A  thing  of  beauty  is  a  joy  forever." 

We  warn  you  against  three-storied,  chocolate- 
coated,  cocoanut-besprinkled,  lunch-room  cake 
served  with  a  spoon. 


THE  BOOKKEEPER. 

Under  a  glaring  electric  light 

The  Pharmacy  Student  sits. 
The  Student — a  mighty  man  is  he, 

With  quick  and  sharpened  wits : 
AH  the  rest  come  easily  to  him, 

But  Bookkeeping  gives  him  fits. 

His  face  shows  resolution  and  purpose  strong, 
Though  care  has  made  it  thin  and  worn; 

His  brow  is  wet  with  honest  sweat; 
To  conquer  he  has  sworn; 

But  as  he  looks  things  square  in  the  face 
Hope  seems  all  forlorn. 

Week  in,  week  out,  from  night  till  morn 

He  sees  the  hours  go  by; 
You  can  hear  the  scratching  of  his  pen 

As  another  way  he'll  try: 
And  to  himself  he  keeps  on  saying: 

"I'll  do  it  or  I'll  die." 

Does  he  go  on  Sunday  to  the  church 

And  sing  from  out  the  hymnal? 
Does  he  hear  the  parson  pray  and  preach 

And  tell  of  joys  eternal? 
Nay!     He  sits  aloue  in  his  back  room 

And  enters  in  his  Journal. 

Toiling,  rejoicing,  sorrowing, 

On  through  the  Ledger  he  goes: 
Each  evening  sees  some  task  begun, 

Each  morning  sees  it  close  (?) 
Something  attempted,  nothing  done; 

He's  lost  a  night's  repose.

At  last  in  direst  desperation 
To  a  classmate  now  he  cries, 

"Everything  to  this  old  Bookkeeping 
I  have  to  sacrifice." 

And  from  his  classmates'  books  he  copies 
And  to  the  teacher  lies. 

Maybe  it  is  a  sin  to  copy  and  to  steal 

To  pass  examination. 
But  when  I've  opened  up  a  pill  shop 

In  a  wayside  station 
I'll  give  to  some  poor  bookkeeper 

A  lifetime  situation ! "

ACADEMIC— UNDERGRADUATE. 


The  Junior  Class  met  recently  and  elected  their 
June  Ball  Committee.  The  members  of  this  com- 
mittee will  have  charge  of  the  farewell  ball  in 
Commencement  Week.  It  is  composed  of  the  fol- 
lowing men :  John  W.  Noble,  William  H.  Price, 
R.  H.  Maddox,  John  M.  Storm,  C.  C.  Jarman,  Ira

another  of  its  very  entertaining  dances,  which  was 
attended  by  a  large  number  of  the  battalion,  the 
Delaware  College  debaters  and  a  number  of  men 
from  Annapolis.  The  gymnasium  was  tastefully 
decorated  with  orange  and  black  and  the 
lights  were  shaded  in  red.  Doctor  and  Mrs.  Fell 
received.    There  were  a  number  present. 


NURSING. 


The  regular  meeting  of  the  Nurses'  Alumnae  As- 
sociation of  the  University  of  Maryland  was  held 
at  the  University  Hospital  on  the  evening  of  Janu- 
ary 3,  Mrs.  Edmunds  in  the  chair.  A  report  of  the 
nurses'  dance  was  given  by  Miss  Laura  Chaplain, 
which  proved  a  splendid  success — the  proceeds 
are  to  be  used  as  a  sick  benefit  fund  for  nurses. 
After  the  business  meeting,  nursing  topics  of  gen- 
eral interest  were  freely  discussed  —  the  nurses' 
question  box  being  a  recent  but  most  satisfactory 
feature  of  the  meetings — after  which  a  social  hour 
was  spent.

neer physician  of  Oakland,  Md.,  died  from'  in- 
firmities of  age  at  the  home  of  his  son,  Dr.  Henry 
Wheeler  McComas,  class  of  1888,  in  Oakland, 
Monday,  December  20,  1915,  aged  80  years. 

Dr.  McComas  was  the  son  of  Lee  and  Sarah 
(Millias)  McComas.  He  was  born  in  Balti-

Somebody  said  that  it  couldn't  be  done, 

But  he,  with  a  chuckle,  replied 
That  maybe  it  couldn't,  but  he  would  be  one 

Who  wouldn't  say  so  till  he'd  tried. 
So  he  buckled  right  in,  with  the  trace  of  a  grin 

On  his  face — if  he  worried  he  hid  it; 
He  started  to  sing  as  he  tackled  the  thing 

That  couldn't  be  done — and  he  did  it. 

Somebody  scoffed,  "Oh,  you'll  never  do  that — 

At  least,  no  one  has  ever  done  it." 
But  he  took  off  his  coat,  and  he  took  off  his  hat. 

And  the  first  thing  we  knew  he'd  begun  it. 
With  the  lift  of  his  chin  and  a  bit  of  a  grin. 

Without  any  doubting  or  quiddit, 
He  started  to  sing  as  he  tackled  the  thing 

That  couldn't  be  done — and  he  did  it. 

There  are  thousands  to  tell  you  it  cannot  be  done. 

There  are  thousands  to  prophesy  failure; 
There  are  thousands  to  point  out  to  you,  one  by 
one. 

The  dangers  that  wait  to  assail  you. 
But  just  buckle  in  with  a  bit  of  a  grin, 

Then  take  off  your  coat  and  go  to  it ; 
Just  start  in  to  sing  as  you  tackle  the  thing 

That  "cannot  be  done" — and  you'll  do  it.

A  STRANGE  CASE  OF  ANTRUM 
TROUBLE.* 


Howard  M.  Finch,  D.D.S.,  Class  of  1911. 
Rochester,  N.  Y. 


Sitting  in  the  lodge  one  evening,  I  became  in- 
terested in  the  report  of  one  of  the  committees  re- 
garding a  sick  member  of  the  Order.  The  man 
had  been  sick  and  unable  to  work  for  nearly 
two  years,  and,  in  spite  of  the  efforts  of  the  phy- 
sician employed,  he  was  constantly  growing 
worse.  His  pain  was  so  intense  that  he  could  not 
sleep;  and  death  itself  would  have  come  as  a  re- 
lief to  this  patient  sufferer. 

In  listening  to  the  details  of  the  report,  I 
noted  that  the  trouble  seemed  to  come  from  the 
side  of  the  man's  face  and  that  the  doctor  had 
told  him  it  was  the  result  of  a  diseased  fifth 
nerve.  The  general  details  led  me  to  suspect 
antrum  trouble,  and  I  suggested  to  the  committee 
that  they  have  the  man  call  at  my  office  so  that 
I  might  talk  with  him. 

A  few  days  later  the  patient  called  at  my  office 
and  I  made  a  thorough  examination.  I  asked  a 
number  of  questions  concerning  the  symptoms, 
and  in  practically  every  detail,  my  beliefs  were 
confirmed.  In  fact,  the  patient  seemed  delighted 
to  find  someone  who  could  ask  questions  that 
indicated  some  knowledge  of  his  trouble.  It  was 
all  so  different  from  the  physicians  he  had  con- 
sulted that  he  expressed  both  pleasure  and  sur- 
prise. 

I  found  that  his  physician  had  used  injections 
at  several  different  times,  a  very  painful  opera- 
tion, attempting  to  strike  the  nerve  by  going 
through  his  facial  muscle.  This  treatment  mere- 
ly increased  the  swelling  and  made  the  pain 
more  intense.  In  desperation,  the  physician  had 
finally  suggested  that  the  only  chance  of  relief 


*Written  for  the  Gazette. 


was  an  operation.  The  plan  was  to  operate  back 
in  the  ganglion  and  bisect  the  fifth  nerve — imagine 
the  consequences  and  the  chance  that  this  poor 
man  was  asked  to  take. 

By  means  of  an  antrum  light,  I  found  that  the 
cavity  on  the  diseased  side  of  the  face  appeared 
cloudy  and  opaque.  The  breath  was  very  bad 
and  the  patient's  general  condition  was  one  of 
depression.  His  face  showed  an  unnatural  color 
and  was  swollen  at  times.  The  pain  was  fre- 
quently so  severe  that  the  parotid  gland  was  so 
over  stimulated  as  to  cause  the  saliva  to  flow 
profusely  from  his  mouth.  The  roof  of  the 
mouth  was  also  extremely  sensitive.  The  pain 
seemed  to  travel  from  beneath  the  eyes  down- 
ward extending  towards  the  ear  and  back  again 
on  the  lower  jaw.  These  pains  were  nearly  al- 
ways present  and  at  periods  of  from  five  to  seven 
days  they  would  become  much  worse,  then  sub- 
side somewhat  for  a  day  or  two.  His  tempera- 
ture showed  no  real  fever.  It  ran  probably  no 
higher  than  98  3-5  and  as  low  as  96  2-5;  up  and 
down  but  no  high  temperature. 

An  X-ray  photograph  had  previously  been 
taken  of  the  whole  head;  but  I  had  the  X-ray 
expert  make  several  small  pictures  of  the  antrum 
region  on  each  side.  From  these  photographs,  I 
was  practically  certain  that  small  particles  of  roots 
had  been  left  in  the  process  some  ten  or  twelve 
years  before  this  when  all  teeth  were  extracted 
from  this  part  of  the  patient's  jaw ;  and  that  they 
had  pierced  the  antrum  in  such  a  way  as  to  cause 
an  irritation  that  resulted  in  the  formation  of 
more  or  less  puss  at  regular  intervals. 

The  X-ray  also  showed  a  distinct  difference 
in  the  appearance  of  the  antrum  on  the  diseased 
side  from  that  on  the  healthy  side. 

I  administered  local  treatment,  using  aconite 
and  iodine.  This  produced  a  temporary  decrease 
in  the  pain  as  I  had  expected,  but  gave  no  per- 
manent relief. 

Having  thus  confirmed  my  conclusions  in  sev-

UNIVERSITY  GAZETTE. 


eral  different  ways,  I  suggested  an  antrum  opera- 
tion as  treatment  for  the  case.  The  man,  being 
almost  desperate  with  pain,  gladly  gave  his  con- 
sent. His  ankles  had  already  begun  to  swell  and 
his  fingers  were  cracked  and  painfully  sore. 

After  consulting  again  with  some  of  my  medi- 
cal friends,  I  decided  to  undertake  the  operation. 

The  usual  tests  at  the  hospital  having  resulted 
satisfactorily,  we  took  the  patient  to  an  operating 
room.  I  made  an  incision  from  the  condyle  to  a 
point  near  the  location  of  the  second  bicuspid. 
After  probing,  I  found  several  tiny  pieces  of 
tooth  as  indicated  in  the  X-ray  photograph.  I 
then  took  a  large  vulcanite  burr  and  went  through 
into  the  antrum.  The  excessive  flow  of  blood 
prevented  me  from  getting  an  accurate  idea  of 
just  what  the  conditions  were  and  so  I  carefully 
packed  the  opening  and  waited  results. 

As  soon  as  the  patient  recovered  we  took  him 
home  and  the  next  morning  he  was  able  to 
come  to  my  office  with  the  report  that  he  had 
been  able  to  get  more  sleep  than  he  had  secured 
in  any  night  for  weeks  previous  to  the  opera- 
tion. 

On  removing  the  packing,  the  odor  and  dis- 
charge of  puss  left  no  doubt  as  to  existing  con- 
ditions. I  cleansed  the  cavity  b}'  forcing  a 
solution  clear  through  the  antrum,  then 
through  the  sinus  into  the  nose,  packed  the 
cavity  and  sent  the  man  home.  This  process 
was  repeated  every  24  hours,  using  thymol 
and  warm  water  as  the  douche.  The  pain  has 
gradually  ceased,  the  swelling  in  the  ankles  dis- 
appeared, and  the  sore  finger  tips  have  healed. 
The  color  of  the  face  is  now  quite  natural  and 
the  patient  eats  well  and  sleeps  all  night  for 
the  first  time  in  over  two  years. 

This  is  just  one  of  the  wa3"s  in  which  the 
public  (for  this  man  will  not  forget  to  tell  all 
his  friends  of  the  "miracle"  that  was  performed 
in  his  case),  is  gradually  coming  to  realize  that 
modern  dentistry  is  concerned  with  many 
things  far  more  important  than  the  extraction 
of  worthless  teeth.  Such  cases  should  also  sug- 
gest to  the  medical  practitioner  the  desirability 
of  consulting  his  fellow  worker  in  the  dental 
profession  when  there  is  any  doubt  as  to  the 
cause  of  trouble  in  this  part  of  man's  anatomy. 


COLI.EGE  SPIRIT. 


Bruce  C.  Lightner,  LL.B.,  Class  of  1915. 


"Gee !  This  is  a  rotten  dump !  No  school  spirit 
a-tall.  Might  just  as  well  be  attending  McGuire's 
Barber  College!"  So  spake  the  prophet.  Ah! 
He  longs  for  the  "Drink  Her  Down  for  Good  Old 
Maryland,"  and  other  songs  and  chatter  indica- 
tive of  college  spirit.  When  you  say  "longs," 
you  have  spoken.  He  not  only  longs,  but  he 
waits ;  waits  for  some  other  "colleger"  to  burst 
into  song  and  verse  for  the  good  old  school.  He 
wants  to  hear  the  other  fellows  uncork  the  spirit. 
Does  he  as  a  student  thirsting  for  college  spirit 
chirp  in  with  the  rest?    Nary  a  chirp! 

Have  you  ever  heard  a  wail  similar  to  the  one 
which  ushers  in  this  article  ?  I  dare  say  you  have 
heard  it  many  times.  But,  did  you  ever  stop  to 
look  over  the  landscape  of  the  "stude"  who  was 
bemoaning  his  fate?  Did  you  every  try  to  esti- 
mate the  amount  of  "knowledge  buzz"  or  "horse 
sense"  that  might  or  might  not  be  contained  in 
that  broad  expanse  of  ivory  under  the  wild  green 
hat  or  riotous   checkered  cap? 

As  a  rule  the  authors  of  "sob"  remarks  of  this 
calibre  can  be  found  on  nice,  warm  sunshiny  days 
draped  over  the  benches  in  front  of  the  IMedical 
Building.  Their  books  are  lying  under  the  bench, 
covered  with  cobwebs  and  many  half-smoked 
white  paper  dainties.  They  all  have  their  little 
hammers  with  them,  and  make  the  anvil  ring  with 
knocks  at  the  old  school.  ]\Ieanwhile,  the  pro- 
fessor is  at  his  station  in  the  lecture  room.  He 
is  trying  to  drill  home  some  of  the  fundamentals 
of  his  subject.  His  audience  is  composed  of  a 
small  handfull  of  the  "faithful"  who  manage  to 
successfully  run  the  gauntlet  past  the  nice  warm 
benches.  They  pay  their  tuition  for  and  insist 
on  getting  an  "earfull"  on  the  art  of  curing  the 
gout,  pulling  the  elusive  molar,  rolling  the  little 
pill,  or  practicing  before  the  justice  of  the  peace. 

The  fellow  who  generally  bewails  the  lack  of 
spirit  is  the  one  who  hasn't  time  to  attend  the 
College  Night  Reception  in  Davidge  Hall  each 
year.  He  does  not  lend  a  hand  at  the  "get  to- 
gether" meetings  during  the  year.  Nor  does  he 
help  the  Glee  Club  make  night  hideous.  The 
same  man  who  was  not  present  at  the  class  elec-

tion,  and  comes  around  the  next  day  and  "beefs" 
because  they  elected  a  rank  set  of  officers.  His 
vote  might  have  changed  the  result,  but  he  was 
too  busy;  had  to  go  to  the  movies,  etc. 

The  University  of  Maryland  does  not  manu- 
facture college  spirit  and  distribute  it  among  the 
students.  Neither  does  any  other  college.  It  is 
up  to  the  students  to  produce  the  spirit.  The  Uni- 
versity can  boast  of  a  very  successful  career, 
dating  from  1807.  Its  course  of  instruction  has 
fitted  many  of  our  leading  men  to  practice  their 
profession.  It  now  enjoys  a  national  reputation 
as  one  of  our  leading  educational  institutions. 
The  start  was  made  with  a  very  meagre  supply 
of  money,  but  a  wealth  of  spirit !  The  founders 
were  men  of  such  sterling  spirit  that  every  stu- 
dent of  the  University  may  well  be  proud  of  them ; 
proud  of  the  wonderful  advancement  which  our 
school  has  made,  and  proud  of  the  many  ways 
in  which  it  has  benefitted  the  public.  The  Uni- 
versity of  Maryland  has  done  its  part. 

College  spirit  does  not  consist  of  singing 
"Drink  a  Highball  at  Nightfall"  and  giving  the 
school  yell.  Of  course,  this  is  a  good  thing  to 
take  the  bad  taste  out  of  your  mouth  after  burn- 
ing the  midnight  oil  over  those  lessons  which 
you  are  trying  to  tuck  away  in  your  "think  tank." 
However.real  college  spirit  is  reckoned  by  your 
work  at  the  University;  by  striving  to  absorb 
an  average  amount  of  knowledge,  and  having 
time  to  help  a  less  fortunate  classmate.  It  is 
determined  by  the  amount  of  energy  which  you 
exert  toward  lifting  up  the  name  of  your  school ; 
by  doing  things  yourself,  and  not  waiting  for  the 
other  fellow  to  lead  the  way. 

Now,  you  fellows  who  bemoan  the  fact  that  our 
college  spirit  is  below  par,  get  together,  put  away 
you  knocking  utensils,  and  take  part  in  the  various 
college  activities.  You  will  do  your  school  more 
good,  and  will  derive  much  more  pleasure  out  of 
it  yourself.  Don't  wait  for  the  other  fellow  to  do 
the  work ;  do  your  part,  and  give  the  University 
the  kind  of  support  it  deserves. 

And  you,  who  have  some  college  spirit  in 
your  blood,  the  next  time  you  hear  a  poor  de- 
luded and  abused  student  cry  for  school  spirit, 
ask  this  fellow  what  he  does  toward  distributing 
his  share  of  the  spirit.  It  is  a  ten  to  one  shot 
that  he  is  an  active  member  of  the  Bench  Brigade. 


THE  MEDICAL  AND  DENTAL  ASPECTS 

OF  CHRONIC  AVEOLAR 

OSTEOMYELITIS. 


By  Bennie  R.  Jones,  Dental,  '16. 


Chronic  Aveolar  Osteomyelitis,  Pyorrhoea 
Aveolaris,  or,  popularly,  the  White  Plague  of 
the  Human  Mouth,  is  a  topic  of  vast  import- 
ance and  interest  both  to  the  physician  and  to 
the  dentist,  not  only  from  its  direct  oral  effect, 
but  also  from  its  indirect  systemic  influence. 
This  indirect  efifect  is  an  untold  and,  hence, 
underestimated  etiological  factor  in  the  diag- 
nosis of  a  great  many  diseases.  In  fact,  we 
are  not  sufficiently  awake  to  the  dangers  which 
threaten  every  one  who  carries  in  his  mouth  a 
diseased  root  or  tooth.    (Wiley.) 

At  the  time  of  birth  the  mucous  membrane 
of  the  mouth  affords  the  same  protection  and 
resistance  as  in  the  other  parts  of  the  body. 
However,  this  condition  is  only  temporary, 
for  as  each  tooth  is  erupted,  a  hole  is  punc- 
tured through  this  protective  covering,  and  at 
maturity  leaves  thirty-two  holes.  The  mucous 
membrane  is  not  tightly  attached  to  the  tooth 
and  hence  leaves  a  space  into  which  the  bac- 
terial flora  and  parasites  may  enter  the  deeper 
structures.  Although  the  tooth  fills  this  opening 
the  margins  are  open  as  long  as  the  tooth  is 
in  the  mouth.  This  condition  is  eliminated 
when  a  pyorrhoea  tooth  is  extracted,  thereby 
closing  the  opening  and  rendering  a  cure.  Look- 
ing at  a  definition  of  pyorrhoea,  we  see  that 
it  is  the  deeper  structures  that  are  mainly  af- 
fected. Pyorrhoea  Aveolaris  is  a  purulent  dis- 
charge, a  discharge  of  pus  from  a  condition  of 
suppurative  inflammation  of  the  periosteum 
lining  the  tooth  socket,  characterized  by  de- 
structive lesions,  shrinking  of  the  gums,  and 
loosening  of  the  teeth.  It  is  a  bacterial  disease 
due  to  various  forms  and  combinations  of  pyo- 
genic organisms,  and  its  destructive  lesions  are 
due  to  bacterial  activity.  Amoebae  are  not 
pyogenic  (Patterson:  Rosenberger),  and  even 
Bass  and  Johns  failed  to  find  amoebae  in  non- 
pustular  mouths,  hence  they  act  as  scavengers 
and  their  presence  is  inversely  proportional  to 
the  cleanliness  of  the  mouth.

The  teeth  bear  about  1,700  pounds  of  pres- 
sure a  day  (Black),  and  the  bacteria  are  thus 
forced  into  the  broken,  injured  and  wounded 
tissues  and  bone.  The  infected  surface  of  a 
pyorrhoea  case  is  three  to  seven  inches  and  the 
quantity  of  pus  and  toxic  matter  swallowed  is 
about  half  a  teaspoonful,  and  small,  but  con- 
siderable dosage  with  bacteria  and  their  pro- 
ducts from  a  local  fucus  tends  to  gradually 
break  down  immunity  (Good  by).  The  special 
ferments  of  the  blood  do  not  inhibit  the  bac- 
teria as  they  are  protected  by  a  poor  blood  sup- 
ply, calculi,  and  the  dense  tissues  and  mem- 
branes inhabited.  This  is  shown  by  the  rarity 
of  primary  blood  infection.  Positive  cure  can 
result,  then,  only  when  the  teeth  are  extracted 
or  the  culture  bed  of  bacteria  removed  by 
bacteria  surgical  methods.* 

The  peculiar  odor  of  pyorrhoea  is  produced 
by  the  Treponema  mucosum,  a  new  species  of 
Spirochaeta  reported  by  Noguchi.  This  organ- 
isms simulates  the  spirochaeta  of  syphilis,  but 
its  action  is  pyogenic  and  does  not  grow  in 
healthy  tissue. 

Post-operative  pneumonia  is  due  in  many 
cases  to  pyorrhoea  mouths  having  a  super 
quantity  of  Pneumococcus.  E.  C.  Rosenow 
discovered  the  transmutation  by  animal  pas- 
sage of  the  Streptococcus  viridans  into  the 
Pneumococcus.  The  organism  in  rheumatism 
locates  in  joints  and  endocardium  because  of 
the  low  degree  of  oxygen  pressure  due  to  the 
avascular  condition  found  at  the  end  of  the 
capillary  supply.  The  same  infection  by  a  pro- 
cess of  conversion  may  show  Streptococcus 
viridans  in  endacarditis  and  hemolytic  strepto- 
coccus in  the  joints.  The  focus  most  common- 
ly found  is  the  oral  cavity.  Among  many 
others  cases  of  arthritis  deformens,  ulcer  of 
the  stomach,  chronic  dyspepsia,  patient  having 
abumen,  all  have  been  returned  to  a  normal 
condition  by  dental  treatment  of  the  pyorrhoea 
mouth.  Upson  reports  that  pyorrhoea  causes 
many  cases  of  insanity  and  that  a  large  num- 
ber of  these  are  restored  by  curing  the  oral 


pyorrhoea.  Dyspepsia,  flatulence  and  gastric 
ulcer  are  caused  by  constantly  swallowing 
large  numbers  of  bacteria  and  their  products. 
The  tonsils,  bronchi,  even  lining  membrane  of 
arteries  and  heart  may  be  infected  from  di- 
seased gums.  Many  eye  and  ear  complications 
are  relieved  by  curing  the  pyorrhoea.  Zilz,  of 
Vienna,  reports  that  75  per  cent,  of  cases  of 
diabetic  patients  have  pyorrhoea  aveolaris  and 
half  gave  a  history  of  gum  trouble  before  the 
diabetes. 

Conversely,  however,  a  sluggish  liver,  inac- 
tive kidneys,  constipation,  germ  infected  fecal 
matter,  inadequate  elimination  with  auto-intoxi- 
cation all  throwing  into  the  blood  stream  bac- 
teria and  products,  may  break  out  in  some 
favorable  location,  for  instance,  the  gums 
around  the  teeth,  particularly  if  they  were  al- 
ready partly  diseased  and  non-resistant. 

Notwithstanding  that  general  pathology  is 
not  caused  by  pyorrhoea,  each  month  startling 
discoveries  certainly  tend  that  way,  all  of  which 
go  to  show  the  necessary  intimate  relationship 
which  should  exist  between  the  two  profes- 
sions, as  each,  being  branches,  both  tend  to 
the  relief  of  humanity.

EDITORIALLY   EXPRESSED. 


The  present  is  a  crucial  time  in  the  history  of 
the  University.  The  pubhc  is  searching  us  out 
and  asking  the  question,  "Does  it  deserve  our 
patronage,"  and  the  support  we  are  seeking  and 
the  assistance  we  need  will  come  only  when  pub- 
lic opinion  has  been  satisfied  that  we  are  a  de- 
serving institution. 

Dr.  Albert  H.  Carroll,  of  the  medical  teaching 
staff,  has  suggested  and  is  working  for  a  general 
banquet  to  bring  together  all  candidates  for  de- 
grees, the  faculties  and  teaching  forces  of  the 
four  schools  and  as  many  members  of  the  general 
alumni  as  possible.  This  suggestion  when  put 
to  the  heads  of  the  different  schools  received 
enthusiastic  support  in  three  of  the  schools.  The 
fourth  rejected  the  proposal. 

There  are  a  number  of  reasons  why  such  a  sug- 
gestion is  not  only  good  but  that  it  should  be 
adopted.  In  the  first  case  the  student  has  been 
engaged  in  study  for  three  or  four  years  and, 
having  come  to  the  close  of  his  school  days,  it  is 
fitting  that  he  should  be  tendered  some  token 
of  esteem  on  the  part  of  the  school  in  recognition 
of  his  devotion  to  the  excellent  work  we  are  try- 
ing to  do.    In  the  second  case  it  brings  together

the  schools,  the  classes  and  the  University  men; 
it  strengthens  the  ties  of  university  interests  and 
tends  to  a  unity  of  effort  for  a  general  university 
spirit.  It  introduces  the  student  to  the  real  great- 
ness of  our  institution  and  makes  him  see  the 
large  field  we  cover  as  he  has  never  seen  through 
his  entire  previous  days  here,  and  so  sends  him 
away  with  a  better  thought  for  the  University 
and  its  interests  than  previous  classes  could  have 
felt. 

Again,  such  a  scheme,  if  properly  conducted 
and  advertized,  would  awaken  Baltimore  and 
Maryland  to  the  real  necessity  of  perpetuating  the 
University  interests.  We  need  publicity.  We 
need  to  be  seen  and  heard,  to  throw  out  our 
strength  that  it  may  command  public  opinion 
and  compel  public  support.  Let  us  each  do  all 
in  our  power  to  secure  this  suggested  banquet 
and  may  the  one  school  holding  aloof  reconsider 
and  enter  heartily  into  the  plan.

It  was  with  much  regret  that  we  learned  of 
the  destruction  by  fire  of  William  Smith  Hall, 
the  new  building  at  Washington  College,  on  Jan- 
uary 17  last.  All  the  archives  of  the  college,  in- 
cluding many  historic  documents,  several  of 
which  were  in  the  handwriting  of  George  Wash- 
ington, and  the  college  library  and  laboratory  fix- 
tures were  burned.  The  portrait  of  Dr.  Wil- 
liam Smith,  the  first  president  of  the  college  and 
in  whose  honor  the  building  was  named,  was  the 
only  thing  saved  from  the  burning  building, 
Washington  College  was  founded  in  1783,  suc- 
ceeding the  old  Kent  County  School.  George 
Washington  was  a  member  of  its  first  board  of

visitors  and  the  college  conferred  the  degree  of 
doctor  of  laws  upon  him  in  1789.  The  college  has 
had  an  eventful  history,  many  of  its  graduates  be- 
coming prominent  in  Maryland  history.  In  1821  it 
was  burned  but  immediately  rebuilt.  May  it  soon 
rise  again  to  continue  the  great  educational  work 
it  has  been  doing  for  the  past  century  and  a 
quarter  for  the  State  of  Maryland.

In  the  October,  1915,  issue  of  "Oral  Hygiene," 
Dr.  John  Philip  Erwin,  of  Perkasie,  Pa.,  takes 
great  umbrage  at  Dr.  Woods  Hutchinson,  a  phy- 
sician, for  discussing  popular  denta^  subjects 
through  the  colums  of  the  "Philadelphia  Ledger." 
He  insists  that  these  articles  were  written  for  ad- 
vertising purposes  and  questions  the  right  of  the 
physician  to  unmolested  poaching  on  the  estate  of 
the  dental  surgeon  and  the  "purloining  of  dental 
honors."  In  the  February,  1916,  issue  Dr.  B. 
Merrill  Hopkinson,  professor  of  Oral  Hygiene 
and  Dental  History  in  the  Dental  Department  of 
the  University  of  Maryland,  took  occasion  to  de- 
fend Dr.  Hutchinson,  and  to  do  literary  violence 
to  the  aforementioned  puny  efforts  at  resenting 
encroachment.  We  agree  with  Dr.  Hopkin- 
son, not  because  he  is  our  co-worker,  but  be- 
cause as  servants  to  society  and  as  individuals 
operating  to  reduce  the  ills  humanity  is  heir  to  we 
should  welcome  co-operative  effort  of  the  physi- 
cian to  educate  the  the  masses  to  oral  attention. 
Dr.  Hopkinson,  as  instructor  in  oral  hygiene,  has 
labored  incessantly  to  educate  the  young  men 
of  the  University  to  enter  upon  a  warfare  against 
the  oral  conditions  which  produce  so  many  dele- 
terious effects  and  has  succeeded  in  convincing 
his  pupils  of  the  righteousness  of  such  work.  He 
is  doing  efficient  work  for  a  great  cause  and  we 
editorially  acknowledge  the  credit  due  him  for 
this  recent  defense  of  what  should  be  our  pro- 
fessional ideal. 


SLAMS  AND  SALUTES. 


A  Plea  for  .\  Conjoint  Banquet. 


For  a  number  of  years  it  has  been  the  desire 
of  a  number  of  the  most  loyal  supporters  of 
the  University  of  Maryland  to  have  a  joint 
graduation  banquet,  rather  than  the  picayun- 


nish  departmental  affairs.  They  advance  the 
argument  in  favor  of  the  proposition  that  the 
University  of  Maryland  has  long  since  passed 
the  day  of  the  isolated  department,  and  that 
now  we  are  a  university  in  name  as  well  as 
fact.  Therefore  everything  tending  to  propo- 
gate  the  idea  of  unity  should  be  cultivated 
assiduously.  A  banquet  of  the  proposed  char- 
acter tends  to  the  consummation  of  this  idea. 
With  this  end  in  view  Dr.  Albert  H.  Carroll, 
President  of  the  Medical  Alumni  Association, 
has  worked  long  and  faithfully  and  has  ob- 
tained the  consent  of  the  deans  of  all  of  the 
departments  with  the  exception  of  the  Law  to 
participate  in  the  affair.  As  there  is  this  diver- 
gence of  opinion  concerning  the  feasibility  of  a 
banquet  of  the  proposed  character,  it  is  pro- 
posed to  drop  the  plan  for  the  present.  This 
would  be  a  calamity.  As  much  as  we  desire 
the  presence  of  the  Law  Department,  their 
lack  of  participation  should  not  cause  fore- 
goance  of  the  idea.  Every  innovation  must 
have  a  beginning.  A  successful  issue  comes 
only  after  man}'  difficulties  have  been  over- 
come. Therefore,  boys,  take  heart.  Let's  make 
a  beginning  by  having  a  combined  medical, 
dental,  and  pharmaceutical  banquet,  and  let's 
inform  those  lawyers  who  desire  to  come  that 
they  will  be  welcome.  Certainly  one  large  af- 
fair will  do  much  more  toward  enlightening  the 
public  as  to  the  magnitude  of  the  University  of 
Maryland,  than  a  number  of  insignificant 
spreads.  N.  W.

sons,  and  yet  I  think  it  best  for  you  to  know  that 
there  are  some  things  in  regard  to  which  I  am 
not  quite  satisfied  with  you.  I  believe  you  to  be 
a  brave  and  skillful  soldier,  which,  of  course,  I 
like.  I  also  believe  you  do  not  mix  politics  with 
your  profession,  in  which  you  are  right.  You 
have  confidence  in  yourself,  which  is  a  valuable, 
if  not  an  indispensable,  quality.  You  are  ambi- 
tious, which,  within  reasonable  bounds,  does  good 
rather  than  harm ;  but  I  think  that  during  General 
Burnside's  command  of  the  army  you  have  taken 
counsel  of  your  ambition,  and  thwarted  him  as 
much  as  you  could,  in  which  you  did  a  great 
wrong  to  the  country  and  to  a  most  meritorious 
and  honorable  brother  officer.  I  have  heard,  in 
such  a  way  as  to  believe  it,  of  your  recently  say- 
ing that  both  the  army  and  the  Government 
needed  a  dictator.  Of  course  it  was  not  for  this, 
but  in  spite  of  it,  that  I  have  given  you  the  com- 
mand. Only  those  generals  who  gain  success 
can  set  up  dictators.  What  I  now  ask  of  you  is 
military  success,  and  I  will  risk  the  dictatorship. 
The  Government  will  support  you  to  the  utmost 
of  its  ability,  which  is  neither  more  nor  less  than 
i*'  has  done  and  will  do  for  all  commanders.  I 
much  fear  that  the  spirit  which  you  have  aided 
to  infuse  into  the  army,  of  criticising  their  com- 
mander and  withholding  confidence  from  him, 
will  now  turn  upon  you.  I  shall  assist  you  as  far 
as  I  can  to  put  it  down.  Neither  you  nor  Napo- 
leon, if  he  were  alive  again,  could  get  any  good 
out  of  an  army  while  such  a  spirit  prevails  in  it. 
And  now  beware  of  rashness,  but  with  energy  and 
sleepless  vigilance  go  forward  and  give  us  vic- 
tories. 

Yours,  very  truly, 

A.  Lincoln.

Victor  G.  Bloede,  Jr.,  Historian. 

By  an  almost  unanimous  vote,  after  a  long 
and  very  heated  discussion  of  several  proposed 
plans,  the  members  of  this  society  decided  to 
continue  the  present  organization  under  the 
name  of  "The  Alumni  Association  of  the  Henry 
D.  Harlan  Law  Society  of  the  University  of 
Maryland,"  but  decided  to  take  in  members  from 
the  present  Junior  Class  to  continue  the  Society 
at  the   University.

The  Gorgas  Odontological  Society. 


Although  yet  in  its  infancy  "The  Gorgas 
Odontological  Society  of  the  University  of 
Maryland"  is  rapidly  growing  in  strength  and 
enthusiasm.  The  picture  of  the  members  is  to 
be  put  in  the  1916  issue  of  "Terra  Mariae,"  to- 
gether with  the  history  and  roll. 

At  the  meeting  held  on  February  9,  1916, 
much  interest  was  taken  by  the  students  of 
the  Senior  and  Junior  classes  who  attended 
in  a  goodly  number.  Drs.  B.  Merrill  Hopkin- 
son  and  E.  Baskin,  of  the  University  Faculty, 
were  present  and  gave  interesting  talks  on  the 
finer  points  in  conducting  an  office  practice. 

There  was  a  discussion  among  the  members 
as  to  the  various  methods  of  devitalizing  and 
extirpating  pulps  of  teeth.  The  many  compli- 
cations which  follow  extirpation  were  thorough- 
ly discussed.  The  faculty  members  joined  in 
the  discussion  and  gave  the  boys  many  valua- 
ble practical  hints  concerning  this  work. 

At  the  next  meeting  on  February  33  we  ex- 
pect to  be  entertained  by  Dr.  S.  Whiteford 
Moore,  Demonstrator  of  Nitrous  Oxide  Anes- 
thesia and  Analgesia  at  the  University.

Psi  Omega. 


The  Psi  Omega  dental  fraternity  gave  an 
informal  dance  at  Keating's  Dancing  Academy 
on  February  18,  1916.  The  Dental  Department 
turned  out  in  full  force,  including  Drs.  Heat- 
wole,  Baskin,  Matthews,  Rea,  Haynes,  Robin- 
son, Philips  and  Wells.  Students  from  the 
other  departments  were  present.  The  hall  had 
been  tastefully  decorated  with  the  fraternity 
colors,  blue  and  white,  including  scores  of 
college  pennants  and  banners.  Eighteen 
dances  were  on  the  program  and,  from  the 
snappy  air  of  the  first  one-step  to  the  dreamy 
strains  of  the  last  waltz,  everyone  present 
thoroughly  enjoyed  himself.  During  the  intermis- 
sion delicious  refreshments  were  served.  Every- 
one voted  the  dance  a  huge  success  and  much 
credit  is  due  the  committee,  W.  E.  Lena,  J.  D. 
McLeod  and  T.  O.  Broadwater,  for  their  un- 
tiring efforts  in  arranging  and  carrying  out 
the  program.

Saturday,  February  19,  at  7.30  P.  M.,  at  the 
Hotel  Rennert.  About  seventy-five  members 
were  present,  representing  the  different  depart- 
ments of  the  University,  including  St.  John's 
College.  Dr.  Thomas  Fell,  president  of  St. 
John's  College,  was  one  of  the  principal  speakers. 
The  keynote  of  his  address  was  that  "a  man  must 
not  only  be  good,  but  good  for  something  and 
render  service  to  his  fellow-man."  Others  who 
spoke  were  Prof.  Arthur  M.  Shipley,  Mr.  J. 
Newell  Graham,  Drs.  J.  Ben  Robinson  and  J.  M. 
Holland,  and  Mr.  F.  Stone  Posey.  Bruce  C. 
Lightner,  LL.B.,  class  of  1915,  acted  as  toast- 
master  and  kept  the  ball  rolling.  The  success 
of  the  banquet  was  largely  due  to  the  efforts  of 
Mr.  Gilbert  J.  Morgan,  chairman  of  the  commit- 
tee on  arrangements.

ITEMS— GENERAL. 


The  Pennsylvania  branch  of  the  General 
Alumni  Association  will  hold  its  eleventh  an- 
nual banquet  Thursday,  March  9,  1916,  at  the 
Hotel  Walton,  Philadelphia,  Pa.,  at  7  o'clock 
P.  M. 

These  gatherings  have  served  to  keep  alive 
the  esprit-de-corps  of  our  alumni  in  Pennsyl- 
vania and,  now  with  the  re-enforcements  from 
the  Baltimore  Medical  College  and  the  College 
of  Physicians  and  Surgeons,  should  prove 
larger  and  more  successful  than  ever.  Here's 
hoping  that  every  alumnus  in  Pennsylvania  will 
make  every  effort  to  attend. 

Those  desiring  to  attend  should  communi- 
cate with  the  Secretary,  Dr.  John  C.  C.  Beale, 
41  South  Fifteenth  St.,  Philadelphia,  Pa.  The 
cost  of  the  dinner  will  be  two  dollars. 

Even  if  you  find  it  impossible  to  get  away  from 
home  on  this  date,  do  not  fail  to  notify  the  Sec- 
retary to  that  effect  and  request  him  to  place  your 
name  on  the  membership  list.  A  large  attend- 
ance is  hoped  for.  Think  it  over  and  come.  The 
University  needs  your  influence  and  the  Penn- 
sylvania branch  needs  your  help.

physiology  and  clinical  medicine,  has  written 
on  diseases  of  the  stomach,  he  has  been  honored 
by  election  as  a  Fellow  of  the  Royal  Society  of 
Arts  of  England,  of  which  the  King  of  England 
is  honorary  president  and  the  Duke  of  Con- 
naught  is  active  president. 

His  "History  of  Medicine"  also  brought  spe- 
cial recognition  from  the  society  and  his  work 
with  the  X-ray  for  the  recognition  of  diseased 
conditions  of  the  stomach  and  intestines  is 
highly  regarded.  He  is  also  a  Fellow  of  the 
American  Association  for  the  Advancement  of 
Science,  a  member  of  the  Physiological  Society 
of  Germany,  of  the  Imperial  German  Academy 
of  Natural  Sciences,  of  the  Imperial  Associa- 
tion of  Austrian  Physicians  and  of  the  Acade- 
mia  di  Scienza  of  Palermo. 

Dr.  Hemmeter  was  notified  of  his  election 
several  days  ago.  This  a  high  honor  for  him 
and  he  has  been  warmly  congratulated  by  his 
friends. 


It  is  interesting  to  learn  that  Senator  James, 
of  Kentucky,  has  introduced  in  the  Senate  the 
bill,  recently  offered  in  the  House,  directing  that 
Colonel  Louis  Marvin  Maus,  Medical  Corps,  U. 
S.  A.  (retired),  class  of  1874,  be  placed  on  the 
retired  list  with  the  rank  of  brigadier-general. 
Colonel  Maus,  who  has  the  distinction  of  having 
served  longer  than  any  other  ofificer  in  the  Medi- 
cal Corps  of  the  Army,  was  born  in  Baltimore, 
and  is  now  secretary  of  the  Kentucky  Tubercu- 
losis Commission,  with  headquarters  at  Frank- 
fort. He  entered  the  Medical  Corps  in  1874,  and 
was  given  a  medal  of  honor  by  Congress  for 
bravery  in  an  expedition  against  the  Indians  in 
the  latter  seventies.  He  was  one  of  the  men 
who  helped  clean  up  Havana  and  later  he  was 
detailed  to  the  Philippines  to  suppress  the  epi- 
demic of  bubonic  plague. 


We  are  sorry  to  learn  that  Dr.  Thomas  A. 
Ashby  is  still  so  sick  at  his  home.  He  has  our 
very  best  wishes  for  a  speedy  recovery.

MEDICAL— SENIOR. 


The  first  of  a  series  of  entertainments  for  the 
members  of  the  senior  class  of  the  University 
of  Maryland  and  the  College  of  Physicians  and 
Surgeons  was  held  Thursday  evening,  Feb- 
ruary 18,  at  the  home  of  Dr.  John  C.  Hemmeter, 
739  University  Parkway.  Twenty-five  students 
were  present. 

Rev.  Dr.  Julius  Hoffman  delivered  a  lecture 
to  the  young  men  on  "Advantage  of  the  Ger- 
man Language  in  Medicine."  He  spoke  of 
the  rapid  rise  of  the  student  of  medicine  fol- 
lowing the  learning  of  the  language  and  of  our 
large  German  population,  one-fifth  of  the  en- 
tire population  of  the  United  States.  Dr.  Hem- 
meter addressed  the  gathering  on  "Music  and 
Medicine,"  speaking  of  the  value  each  had 
to  the  other  in  making  the  life  of  a  man  a  suc- 
cess. The  eighth  symphony  of  Beethoven,  with 
interpretations,  was  rendered  by  Prof.  Arthur 
Oehm.  Refreshments  were  served  the  gather- 
ing. 

Dr.  Hemmeter  has  made  a  life  study  of  the 
anatomic  and  physiologic  foundations  of  piano 
and  vocal  technique  and  described  the  manner 
of  co-ordination  between  various  muscles  and 
nerves  in  the  production  of  tone,  the  conduc- 
tion paths  for  hearing  in  the  brain. 


The  following  appointments  of  our  fourth 
year  men  have  been  made :  J.  T.  Hennessy,  an 
intern  at  St.  Joseph's  Hospital,  Syracuse,  N.  Y. ; 
B.  C.  Carter,  an  intern  at  the  Boston  Marine 
Hospital,  Boston,  Mass.,  and  H.  M.  Wellman, 
an  intern  at  the  Western  Pennsylvania  Hos- 
pital, Pittsburgh,  Pa.

It  is  particularly  gratifying  to  us  to  learn 
that  Mr.  Robert  F.  Stanton,  LL.B.,  1891,  has 
been  appointed  to  the  Supreme  Bench  to  take 
the  place  made  vacant  by  the  death  of  Judge 
Thomas  Ireland  Elliott,  also  an  alumnus  of 
the  Law  School,  class  of  1878.  The  Gazette 
on  behalf  of  its  readers,  desires  to  congratulate 
Judge  Stanton  on  his  promotion  to  the  Bench. 


Mr.  Bruce  C.  Lightner,  class  of  1915,  came 
all  the  way  from  Hagerstown  to  see  us.  He 
was  a  guest  at  the  Phi  Sigma  Kappa  House, 
1036  N.  Eutaw  street,  while  in  the  city,  and 
attended  the  fraternity  banquet  at  the  Rennert 
Hotel  on  the  evening  of  Saturday,  February 
19,  at  which  he  acted  as  toastmaster. 


The  Class  of  1915  held  a  meeting  recently  at 
the  offices  of  Messrs.  Stocksdale  and  Wortche, 
in  the  Equitable  Building,  and  arranged  to  have 
a  "get-together"  affair  on  the  Gunpowder  river. 
Messrs.  Smith,  Wortche,  Elly  and  Stocksdale 
were  appointed  a  committee  to  arrange  the  de- 
tails.   

Dan  Healey,  of  the  1915  Class,  stops  in  at  the 
University  about  twice  a  week  and  gives  short 
talks  on  how  to  pass  the  Bar  examination. 


Dan  McMullen,  senior  member  of  the  firm  of 
McMullen  &  McMullen,  of  Cumberland,  Md.," 
stopped  in  Baltimore  while  en  route  to  Annapo- 
lis. Dan  is  the  son  of  the  present  State  Comp- 
troller, Hon.  Hugh  A.  McMullen. 


W.  Melbourne  Hart  (1913)  reports  that  busi- 
ness is  good.  He  just  settled  quite  an  important 
case  with  Benjamin  Baker,  attorney  for  Messrs. 
Curran  and  Morgan.  The  real  facts  of  the  case 
have  never  been  made  public.  We  wonder  what 
it's  all  about.  

Prof.  Alexander  Geddes  has  promised  to  write 
a  poem  for  the  next  issue  of  the  G.^izette  and 
special  arrangements  have  already  been  made  to 
run  off  an  extra  ten  thousand  copies  of  the 
coming  number.  AVe  don't  know  what  the  poem 
will  be  about,  but  we  know  it  will  be  good. 


R.  E.  Kanode,  the  well-known  Hagerstown  at- 
torney and  politician,  made  a  flying  visit  to  Ca- 
tdnsville  about  the  middle  of  the  month  while  his 
partner,  B.  C.  Liglitner,  took  full  and  complete 
charge  of  affairs  during  his  absence.  Lightner 
was  so  rushed  during  Kanode's  absence  that  he 
was  compelled  to  put  on  three  extra  clerks.  The 
firm  is  always  rushed  around  the  first  of  the 
month.  At  the  first  of  last  month  they  received 
forty  letters  and  two  telephone  calls.  Thirty- 
nine  of  the  letters  contained  bills  and  the  other 
letter  was  from  Kanode's  girl. 


Ray  Jones  (1913),  State's  Attorney  of  Gar- 
rett County,  reports  that  business  is  not  what  it 
used  to  be  since  the  passage  of  the  local  option 
bill. 


Millard  E.  Tydings  (1914)  is  making  quite  a 
name  for  himself  as  a  member  of  the  House  of 
Delegates  at  Annapolis. 


H.  E.  Harshman  (1913)  gave  up  practicing 
law  at  Hagerstown,  Md.,  to  accept  a  position  in 
the  legal  department  of  the  Workmen's  Com- 
pensation Commission. 


Benjamin  Gold  (1915)  is  now  local  counsel 
for  the  Washburn-Crosby  Co.,  the  well-known 
flour  makers. 


John  W.  Reynolds,  Jr.  (1913),  after  an  ex- 
tended tour  through  Pennsylvania,  New  Jersey, 
New  York,  Massachusetts  and  points  in  the  mid- 
dle west,  has  returned  to  Baltimore  and  resumed 
practicing  law. 


Louis  Hofferbert  (1914)  is  now  connected 
with  the  sales  department  of  the  Mar-Del  Mobile 
Company. 


It  is  rumored  that  John  E.  Magers  (1915),  of 
the  firm  of  Hall  &  Magers,  is  slated  as  one  of 
the  judges  of  the  Peoples'  Court.

The  editor  wishes  to  acknowledge  receipt  of 
the  announcement  of  Mr.  Edward  L.  G. 
Wright,  class  of  '16,  that  he  has  opened  his  law 
ofhces  at  8  East  Lexington  street,  Baltimore, 
Md.  Mr.  Wright  will  represent  the  Equitable 
Adjustment  Company,  which  is  prepared  to 
make  collections  anywhere  in  the  United  States, 
through  bonded  attorneys.  We  fail  to  see  how 
an  attorney  with  Mr.  Wright's  ability  and 
practical  business  experience  can  fall  short  of  a 
brilliant  success.    He  has  our  best  wishes. 


"Jimes"  Byrne  failed  to  show  up  at  certain 
lectures  recently.  It  has  been  rumored  that  he 
was  too  busy  talking  politics  to  Morris  Frank- 
lin. 


From  all  reports  Geo.  Tyler  Smith  seems  to 
have  gotten  a  corner  on  the  legal  business.  Abe 
Rosenthal,  with  his  103  clients,  isn't  even  in  the 
running. 


We  have  just  recently  learned  that  our  pop- 
ular classmate,  Mr.  Gerald  F.  Kopp,  who 
passed  the  State  Bar  Examination  last  June,  is 
associated  in  the  practice  of  law  with  the  well 
known  law  firm  of  Mackenzie,  Marbury  and 
French.  Mr.  Kopp  appeared  on  the  brief,  rep- 
resenting Prince  George's  County,  in  a  case 
which  went  to  the  Court  of  Appeals  recently. 
We  feel  honored  by  this  distinction  of  our  fel- 


low classmate  and  we  trust  that  Gerald  is  not 
suffering  from  that  anxiety  which  is  usually 
present  while  one  awaits  a  decision  from  the 
highest  state  court  on  his  first  appeal. 


At  the  time  this  issue  goes  to  press  all  of  the 
material  for  "Terra  Mariae,"  from  the  Law 
Department,  will  have  been  in  the  hands  of  the 
Editor-in-Chief  to  be  turned  over  to  the  printer. 
The  contract  calls  for  the  completion  of  the 
ann^ual  by  May  10.

May  it  please  the  Court:  I  shall  first  take 
up  plaintiff's  third  prayer.  It  has  such  glaring 
defects  on  its  face  that  it  needs  immediate  at- 
tention. 


Copinger  (holding  out  a  5,000  page  volume  of 
Cyc) — "Now,  gentlemen,  I  shall  read  to  you 
from  my  Little  Book  ....  at  page  4297." 


Judge  Sappington — "Say,  friend,  what  is  that 
you're   quoting   from,   anyhow?" 

Mr.  Franklin  (in  his  most  dignified  man- 
ner)— "Why,  your  Honor,  this  is  the  digest  to 
L.  R.  A.  New  Serious  (Series)." 


Kieffner  (about  six  times  every  lecture) — 
"In  other  words,  Professor,  .  .  .  .  "  (repeating 
the  lecturer's  statements  in  other  words). 


Judge  Niles  to  "Johnnie"  Holmes — "Let  me 
see,  your  names  is  Rosenberg,  isn't  it?" 

"Johnnie"  (much  peeved) — "No,  Judge,  I'm 
Scotch." 


Judge  Rose  (calling  the  roll  at  tenth  lecture) 
— "Harrison  1" 

Mr.   Harrison— "Here !" 

Judge  Rose — "Where  is  he?  I'm  glad  to 
make  your  acquaintance,  Mr.  Harrison.  I 
hope  we  may  have  the  pleasure  of  your  com- 
pany again.    Ahem."

Albin  Widoff,  '17. 


The  annual  banquet  of  what  we  deem  the 
most  energetic,  illustrous  class  of  the  past  two 
years,  if  not  in  the  history  of  the  Law  Depart- 
ment of  the  University  of  Maryland,  will  be 
held  at  the  Rennert  Hotel,  March  11.  There 
will  be  dishes  that  are  sure  to  tickle  the  palate 
of  any  fastidious  epicure  and  enough  to  sate 
the  hungriest.  The  food  can  be  washed  down 
by  anything  your  money  can  buy;  water  will 
be  absolutely  free.  All  the  professors  of  the 
second  year  have  been  invited  to  attend.  They 
will  sign  their  autograph  on  the  menu  cards 
or  any  other  paper  but  negotiable  paper.  This, 
to  be  sure,  is  an  added  inducement  for  students 
to  attend.  And  then  there  will  be  many  novel- 
ties never  before  shown  or  heard  in  a  public 
or  private  exhibition.  President  Wilson,  Roose- 
velt, Bryan  and  Emma  Goldman  will  sing  the 
romantic  ballad  entitled  "Soldiers  should  be 
fed  with  garlic  so  they'll  keep  the  enemy  away." 
Other  persons  will  speak,  sing  and  dance,  thus 
insuring  a  good  run  for  the  money. 

Any  student  who  can  go,  but  does  not,  is  a 
PIKER;  I  said  it. 


H.  M.  Rodman  had  finished  telephoning  in 
Davidge  Hall.  He,  then,  rushed  into  the  library 
excited  and  flushed.  Stopping  before  a  number 
of  students  at  one  of  the  tables,  he  exclaimed: 


"Hey,  fellers,  congratulate  me !     Congratu- 
late me!" 
"What  did  you  do,"  said  one,  "get  married?" 
"No,  I  got  '78'  in  Title." 


Speaking  about  quips  in  Don  Quixote,  let  us 
pray  that  Mr.  France  has  forgotten  Rabelais, 
the  Decamaron  of  Boccaccio  or  Balzac's  Droll 
Stories. 


The  Hall  of  Fame. 
A.  B.  Makover — The  idealist  personified;  the 
poet  in  a  bar  room ;  the  witness  that  can  tes- 
tify whether  idealism  is  its  own  punishment, 
and  also  that  idealism  can — crucify! 


Ernest  W.  Beatty — Blackstone  reading  the 
"Outlook;"  the  leading  one  of  a  half  dozen  stu- 
dents who  possess,  that  elusive  thing  known 
as  "a  legal  mind;"  the  clergyman  among  law- 
yers. 


Herman  Kassan — Disraeli  in  minature ;  the 
synonym  of  suavity ;  one  with  a  weakness  for  a 
stiff  collar. 


M.  H.  Lauchheimer — An  "A.B."  in  nigger-

The  Knocker. 


"After  God  had  finished  making  the  rattle- 
snake, the  toad  and  the  vampire  he  had  some 
awful  substance  left  with  which  he  made  the 
knocker. 

A  knocker  is  a  two-legged  animal  with  a 
cork-screw  soul,  a  water-logged  brain  and 
backbone  made  partly  of  jelly  and  of  glue. 
Where  other  men  have  their  hearts  he  carries 
a  tumor  of  decayed  principles. 

When  the  knocker  comes  down  the  street 
honest  men  turn  their  backs,  the  angels  in 
heaven  shed  tears  and  the  devil  shuts  the  gates 
of  Hell  to  keep  him  out."

There  is  a  difference  between  a  plug  and  a

ones.  The  fellow  who  is  really  worth  while 
is  the  one  who  does  a  thing  and  shuts  up  about 
it.

DENTAL— FRESHMAN. 


Charles  F.  Smith,  '18. 


Histology  examination  is  almost  here.    Yes, 
we  advocate  preparedness,  too. 


Practical  anatomy  started  last  month.  This 
adds  another  and  quite  difficult  subject  for  the 
remainder  of  the  semester.  We  may  have  been 
deceived  in  the  past  but  now  we  can  tell  those 
fellows  who  used  to  follow  the  art  of  butcher- 
ing. 


H.  L.  Wood  recently  joined  our  ranks.     He 
enlisted  about  two  weeks  ago  and  has  since 


become  a  regular.     He'll  find  firing  from  the 
trenches  rather  disagreeable  at  first. 


Mr.  Chas.  F.  Smith,  who  has  been  ill  for  the 
past  two  weeks,  is  now  in  the  University  Hos- 
pital where  he  is  improving  very  rapidly.  He 
was  operated  on  recently,  having  his  tonsils 
removed.  It  is  the  wish  of  the  class  that  he 
make  a  speedy  recovery. 


Mr.  W.  A.   Gray,  who  had  a  tonsilectomy 
performed  recently,  is  out  and  with  us  again. 


Through  the  kindness  and  generosity  of  Dr. 
Wright  students  were  allowed  to  attend  the  Psi 
Omega  dance. 


Dissecting  in  Gray  Laboratory  is  progress- 
ing very  well  and  everyone  is  happy.  Even 
the  gentler  ones  enjoy  it.  Question :  Where 
are  all  the  previously  enthusiastic  Juniors  who 
neglected  duty  to  aid  the  maids?  Why  not 
don  dissecting  gown  and  wield  the  knife.  Of 
course,  all  things  are  not  altogether  pleasant 
but  it  is  a  long  way  from  Gray  Lab.  to  M.  B. 
Home. 


Histology  examination  is  expected  the  first 
part  of  March.  Fellows,  let's  not  have  a  fail- 
ure. Burn  your  landlady's  midnight  oil.  Dr. 
Matthews  will  appreciate  it. 


There  seems  to  be  a  great  deal  of  discussion 
as  to  who  is  the  biggest  bone  in  the  class.  Gen- 
tlemen, this  is  a  class  matter.

PHARMACY— GRADUATE. 


The  January  meeting  of  the  Baltimore 
branch  of  the  American  Pharmaceutical  As- 
sociation was  held  on  Wednesday,  the  19th,  in 
the  assembly  hall  of  the  pharmacy  of  Plynson, 
Wescott  &  Co. 

The  committee  appointed  to  arrange  for  a 
series  of  talks  by  Professor  Caspari  on  the 
changes  in  the  new  Pharmacopoeia  reported 
that  the  matter  had  better  be  postponed  to 
some  future  date,  owing  to  the  indisposition 
of  Professor  Caspari  as  the  result  of  an  attack

of  grip  and  also  because  the  Pharmacopoeia 
would  not  be  issued  for  several  months. 

The  following  officers  were  elected  to  serve 
for    the    ensuing    year:  President,    Ivouis 

Schulze;  Vice-President  and  Chairman  of  Ex- 
ecutive Committee,  Charles  L.  Meyer;  Secre- 
tary-Treasurer, William  J.  Lowry,  Jr. ;  Assist-

Membership  Committee,  Otto  Muelhouse;  of 
Professional  Relations,  Henry  P.  Hynson;  of 
Science  and  Practice  of  Pharmacy,  Charles  C. 
Neal;  of  Education  and  Legislation,  Henry 
E.  Wich;  of  Social  Committee,  Anna  M.  Pat- 
terson.

ACADEMIC— GRADUATE. 


On  Saturday  evening,  February  12,  the  St. 
John's  College  Alumni  Association  held  its  an- 
nual banquet  at  the  Rennert  Hotel.  Dr.  James 
A.  Nydegger,  president  of  the  Alumni  Associa- 
tion, acted  as  toastmaster.  The  principal  speakers 
were  Dr.  Thomas  Fell  and  Governor  Emerson 
C.  Harrington.  Dr.  Fell  spoke  of  the  jealous 
rivalry  that  existed  between  the  colleges 
of  Maryland,  the  State  debt  to  the  college 
and  the  encouraging  prospects  for  raising 
an  endowment  fund.  He  said  in  part :  "There 
is  now  in  bank  about  $10,000,  and  I  have  been 
informed  that  a  gentleman  living  in  New  York 
has  recently  made  his  will  in  which  he  be- 
queaths $100,000  to  the  college.  As  I  have  said 
on  previous  occasions,  we  can  get  a  donation 
of  $50,000  from  the  General  Education  Board 
if  we  could  raise  on  our  part  $100,000  to  meet 
it." 

Governor  Harrington  spoke  briefly  of  the 
part  St.  John's  College  played  in  his  life.  He 
stated  that  had  it  not  been  for  a  scholarship  to 
this  institution  his  learning  would  have  been 
seriously  neglected,  also  that  he  cherished  the 
memories  of  St.  John's  and  especially  the  period 
spent  as  teacher  there.  There  were  about 
seventy-five  members  present.

Owing  to  a  case  of  scarlet  fever  among  the 
student  body  the  College  was  closed  by  the 
authorities  for  about  ten  days.  After  being 
thoroughly  fumigated  it  was  reopened  on  the 
14th.  The  case  was  a  very  mild  one  and  no 
further  danger  is  anticipated. 


On  Friday  evening,  January  21st,  the  Cotil- 
lion Club  gave  another  of  its  delightful  dances. 
The  gymnasium  was  tastefully  decorated  with 
the  College  colors — orange  and  black.  The 
programs  were  very  attractively  gotten  up.  The 
guests  were  received  by  Governor  and  Mrs. 
Harrington.  The  dance  attracted  unusual  in- 
terest because  of  the  presence  of  the  new  Gov- 
ernor, who  is  a  graduate  of  the  College,  class 
of  1884.    There  were  a  large  number  present.

Jones.  The  morning  after  his  arrival,  promptly 
at  4  o'clock,  the  farmer  rapped  on  his  door  and 
told  him  to  get  up.    The  youth  protested. 

"What  for?"  he  asked,  rubbing  his  eyes. 

"Why,  we're  going  to  cut  oats,"  replied  the 
farmer. 

"Are  they  wild  oats,"  queried  the  youth,  "that

By  Caleb  Winslow,  M.A., 
Registrar  Medical  Department. 

This  is  an  age  of  organization.  As  I  glanced 
over  the  programme  of  the  Twelfth  Annual  Con- 
gress on  Medical  Education,  Public  Health  and 
Medical  Licensure,  and  saw  that  three  national 
societies,  The  American  Medical  Association, 
The  Federation  of  Sate  Medical  Boards  of  the 
United  States,  and  The  Association  of  American 
Medical  Colleges,  were  to  confer  jointly  on  medi- 
cal problems,  I  realized  that  this  aphorism  is 
eminently  true  of  the  medical  profession.  At- 
tendance at  the  convention,  which  was  held  in 
Chicago  on  February  7  and  8,  confirmed  this 
belief. 

Reasons  for  joint  action  by  these  various  or- 
ganizations were  brought  out  in  the  early  part  of 
the  conference.  Dr.  Arthur  Dean  Bevan,  Chair- 
man of  the  Council  on  Medical  Education,  opened 
the  proceedings  with  a  resume  of  the  progress  in 
medical  education,  remarking  that  we  now  have 
as  high  a  standard  as  any  country  in  the  world, 
and  that  in  the  evolution  of  medical  education  in 
this  country  the  medical  profession  had  done 
more  to  place  itself  on  an  efiicient  basis  than  any 
other  profession  or  field  eflfort.  Secretary  N. 
P.  Colwell,  in  his  report,  stated  that  this  pro- 
gress had  been  attended  with  a  great  decrease  in 
the  number  of  medical  schools  and  students — 
43%  and  50%  respectively.  To  this  house- 
cleaning  he  attributed  the  great  increase  in  medi- 
cal cults ;  a  problem  the  state  licensing  boards  are 
being  called  upon  to  solve.  These  state  boards 
are  exerting  a  rapidly  increasing  influence  toward 
the  betterment  of  medical  education.  This  is 
done  by  setting  a  high  standard  which  the  various 
colleges  must  meet  if  their  graduates  are  to  be 
permitted  to  stand  the  licensing  examinations.  It 
can  readily  be  seen  what  a  powerful  whip  a  state 
board  has,  particularly  over  the  schools  in  its 


state ;  likewise,  how  detrimental  it  would  be  to  a 
school  for  a  group  of  states  to  boycott  its  gradu- 
ates. 

One  of  the  most  interesting  movements  on 
foot  at  the  present  time  is  the  establishment  of  a 
National  Board  of  Medical  Examiners.  This 
board  has  met  many  obstacles,  and  is  not  yet  in 
active  operation ;  but  the  obvious  need  is  so  great 
that  it  is  sure  to  meet  with  success.  The  moving 
spirit  in  this  undertaking  is  Dr.  Wm.  L.  Rodman,* 
of  Philadelphia.  The  board  has  its  headquarters 
at  the  National  Capital,  and  its  standard  will  be 
so  high  that  its  results  will  be  accepted  by  every 
state  in  the  Union.  At  the  present  time  the 
jealousy  of  a  few  states  is  hampering  the  work; 
but  even  when  it  becomes  an  active  body,  there 
will  still  be  need  of  the  boards  of  the  various 
states ;  for  its  standards  will  be  so  high  that  com- 
paratively few  students  will  desire  to  stand  its 
rigorous  tests. 

To  me  the  meeting  of  the  College  Association 
was  the  most  interesting  occasion  of  the  confer- 
ence. I  had  been  present  at  a  meeting  of  the 
Executive  Council,  and  knew  that  the  Council 
was  to  recommend  the  addition  of  another  pre- 
medical  year,  to  go  into  effect  in  the  session  of 
1918-19.  Many  of  the  delegates  felt  that  the  time 
was  not  yet  ripe  for  change ;  but  the  measure  was 
passed  in  spite  of  this  opposition.  The  Univer- 
sity of  Maryland  was  among  those  who  advocated 
caution  in  this  matter,  the  chief  argument  ad- 
vanced being  that  a  dearth  of  physicians  in  rural 
Maryland  would  result  from  too-advanced  en- 
trance requirements. 

It  is  pertinent  to  ask  how  this  additional  pre- 
medical  year  will  affect  the  University.  A  large 
decrease  in  the  student  body  will  almost  inevitably 
result;  but,  as  the  requirements  become  known 
throughout  the  country,  the  students  will  accom- 


*Note. — Since  this  article  went  to  press  the  medical 
profession  has  sustained  a  great  loss  by  the  death  of 
Dr.  Rodman.  It  is  sincerely  to  be  hoped  that  some 
one  will  take  his  place  and  carry  the  work  of  the 
National  oard  to  a  successful  issue.

modate  themselves  to  the  change  and  the  enrol- 
ment will  gradually  swing  back  to  its  present 
mark.  Certainly  the  quality  should  improve ;  for 
three  laboratory  courses  cannot  be  adequately 
taught  in  one  pre-medical  year.  There  was  gen- 
eral complaint  at  the  conference  that  students 
come  to  the  medical  schools  without  a  thorough 
knowledge  of  anything. 

In  conclusion  I  would  say  that  the  present  ten- 
dency, as  I  interpreted  the  conference,  is  to  stand- 
ardize everything  medical. 

First,  to  freeze  out  all  schools  not  of  A  grade ; 

Second,  to  classify  hospitals  in  order  to  evalu- 
ate the  intern  year ; 

Third,  to  pass  medical  practice  laws  imposing 
uniform  requirements  upon  all  applicants  for 
licensure;  and 

Fourth,  to  establish  a  National  Board  of  Medi- 
cal Examiners  whose  certificates  shall  be  accept- 
able throughout  the  length  and  breadth  of  the 
land.

SOME  OF  THE  HINDRANCES  TO  THE 
EXTENSION  OF  ORAL  HYGIENE 
AMONG  THE  PEOPLE  AT  LARGE 
AND  HOW  I  CAN  AID  IN  THEIR  RE- 
MOVAL.   

By  M.  K.  Baklor,  Dental,  '16. 

Ignorance  plus  contributory  negligence  are 
probably  the  two  most  potent  factors  in  keeping 
the  propaganda  of  Oral  Hygiene  at  its  present 
comparatively  low  status.  With  the  criminal 
gross  negligence  such  as  is  being  prescribed  by 
Dr.  Feldman,  Dr.  Peck  and  those  others  who  are 
advocating  the  abolition  of  the  tooth  brush  we 
have  little  to  do — directly.  It  is  manifestly  im- 
possible to  legislate  people  virtuous  and  likewise 
it  is  an  impossibility  to  bring  such  people  within 
the  jurisdiction  of  the  law.  For  those  all  right- 
thinking,  level-headed  people  can  tolerate  only  a 
deep  feeling  of  commisseration,  for  they  are  more 
to  be  pitied  than  censored. 

But  when  we  enter  the  realms  of  ignorance 
the  vista  changes.  We  ourselves  become  in- 
volved as  grave  factors  for  good  or  evil.  It  is 
indeed  hard  to  realize  how  little  we  of  the  pro- 
fession have  thus  far  advanced  in  the  accumu- 
lation of  and  in  establishing  the  authenticity  of 
scientific  data  on  the  question  of  practical  Oral 
Hygiene.    So  long  as  we  keep  putting  in  crowns 


and  bridges  (such  as  they  are)  we  have  but  a 
poor  conception  of  Oral  Hygiene,  its  value  and  its 
manifold  possibilities.  I  realize  full  well  that  the 
cream  of  the  profession  is  today  building  a  repu- 
tation on  its  bridge  work,  and  yet  when  we  think 
of  the  awful  atrocities  which  are  being  perpe- 
trated against  Nature  by  these  men  we  shudder 
involuntarily.  I  do  not  wish  to  be  unnecessarily 
severe  with  these  men,  but  I  am  still  waiting  for 
someone  to  show  me  how  to  adapt  a  band  be- 
neath the  free  margin  of  the  gum  without  im- 
pinging on  the  soft  tissues,  without  setting  up  a 
chronic  irritation,  more  or  less  severe,  and  with- 
out leaving  an  ideal  lodging  place  for  food  debris 
and  bacteria. 

Truly  "charity  begins  at  home,"  and  our  first 
duty  to  mankind  demands  that  we  educate  our- 
selves and  that  we  improvise  more  hygienic 
methods  of  replacing  and  restoring  those  teeth 
which  must  inevitably  be  lost  in  the  mouths  of  the 
susceptible.  True  enough  we  may  assist  a  large 
number  to  avoid  the  extensive  inroads  by  the 
teaching  of  oral  prophylaxis,  but  is  there  anyone 
so  brazen  as  to  say  that  teeth  will  not  decay  in 
the  mouths  of  some  in  spite  of  all  our  best  efforts  ? 
Familiarity  breeds  contempt,  and  so  it  is  with 
our  bridge  work  of  today.  Dr.  Burgess,  of  New 
York,  showed  at  the  meeting  of  the  Maryland 
Dental  Association  last  June  in  what  direction  he 
was  expending  his  efforts  to  eliminate  crown 
work  by  the  use  of  large  inlays.  So  if  bridge  work 
is  unavoidable  it  behooves  us  to  awaken  to  a 
realization  of  the  fact  that  we  may  make  it  more 
endurable  to  the  patients'  general  economy  by 
seeking  more  scientific  methods  of  overcoming 
the   unhygienic   aspect   of   same. 

But  this  question  disposed  of  we  turn  to  the 
more  serious  problem  of  ignorance  on  the  part 
of  the  masses.  There  lies  a  tremendous  task 
and  vast  field  for  the  display  of  the  best  that  is 
within  us  in  the  way  of  organized  effort.  We 
may  speak  of  the  education  of  the  laity  and  of  our 
civilization  as  if  it  were  a  matter  of  fact,  but  in 
our  heart  of  hearts  we  know  that  there  is  a  great 
deal  yet  to  be  desired.  Some  of  our  most  intelli- 
gent friends  have  been  so  rocked  in  the  cradle  of 
oral  neglect  that  it  has  never  given  them  any 
grave  concern.  Our  natural  laws  of  immunity 
have  taken  such  wonderful  care  of  them  thus 
far  that  they  have  been  lulled  into  a  spirit  of  great

security.  And  now  it  becomes  our  duty  to  rouse 
them  out  of  their  lethargy.  With  reference  to 
the  adults  there  are  two  practical  methods  for 
instruction.  The  first  one  is  that  of  informing 
our  patients  while  in  the  chair  of  the  grave  sig- 
nificance to  their  general  economy  of  the  main- 
tenance of  oral  health.  We  should  convince  them 
that  the  mouth  is  the  portal  of  entry  for  a  host 
of  unmentionable  diseases.  Some  orists  plead 
that  there  is  not  enough  time  in  a  busy  man's 
schedule  for  such  talks !  Someone  should  wake 
them  up.  They,  too,  are  sleeping  at  their  posts 
of  dutyl 

The  second  method  is  that  of  essays  and  lec- 
tures. And  here  we  find  dissension  in  our  own 
ranks  because  of  the  havoc  which  is  being 
wrought  by  the  advertising  man.  In  the  attempt 
to  offset  that  the  conservative  men  oppose  all 
forms  of  publicity.  A  case  in  point  is  that  of  Dr. 
Grady  who  was  improperly  accused  by  the  Mary- 
land Dental  Association  because  he  was  supposed 
to  have  permitted  the  mention  of  his  name  in 
connection  with  some  instructive  and  enlightening 
information  published  in  one  of  our  foremost 
periodicals.  Such  conservatism  must  be  met  and 
overcome  for  the  sake  of  co-operation  and  har- 
mony. We  cannot  afford  to  have  our  honest 
efforts  discountenanced  by  those  doubters  who 
question  the  sincerity  of  our  motives.  The  dental 
associations  should  by  unanimous  decisions 
authorize  the  publication  of  essays  on  oral  hygiene 
from  time  to  time  in  our  recognized  magazines. 
Those  of  us  who  are  gifted  with  oratorical  ability 
can  do  splendid  service  in  the  spread  of  the 
Oral  Hygiene  propaganda  by  delivering  ad- 
dresses before  various  assemblies.  If  properly 
approached,  the  corporations  and  employers  will 
gladly  permit  us  to  deliver  a  talk  to  their  as- 
sembled employees  in  the  dissemination  of  such 
knowledge.  But  we  must  have  the  moral  backing 
and  sanction  of  the  authorities,  i.  e.,  the  dental 
associations.  In  this  connection  I  am  reminded  of 
the  words  of  the  immortal  Longfellow : 

"When'er  a  noble  deed  is  wrought, 
When'er  is  spoken  a  noble  thought. 
Our  hearts  in  glad  surprise 
To  higher  levels  rise. 

The  tidal  wave  of  deeper  souls 
Into  our  inmost  being  rolls, 


And  lifts  us  unawares 
Out  of  all  meaner  cares. 

Honor  to  those  whose  words  or  deeds 
Thus  help  us  in  our  daily  needs, 
And  by  their  overflow 
Raise  us  from  what  is  low." 

To  reach  the  minds  of  the  young  through  their 
schools  and  to  educate  them  now  is  an  easier  task 
than  to  instruct  their  elders  who  are  perhaps 
more  sensitive.  According  to  the  pioneers  in 
this  splendid  field  of  endeavor  we  should  put  forth 
our  best  efforts  in  that  direction  so  as  to  reach 
the  adults  through  their  younger  friends  and 
to  train  the  nation  in  its  infancy.  Ways  and 
means  are  constantly  being  devised  by  the  pro- 
fession in  their  society  meetings.  All  that  some 
of  us  lack  is  the  energy  and  will  power  to  put 
our  shoulders  to  the  wheel.  The  incentive  for 
action  has  long  since  been  supplied  by  those 
splendid  men  who  are  initiating  us  into  the 
mysteries  and  the  delights  of  altruism.  But  more 
of  that  anon.  In  passing  I  can  but  rest  a  moment 
to  render  homage  to  Dr.  Hopkinson  who  delivered 
such  a  splendid  address  on  opportunity  for  ser- 
vice at  the  opening  of  the  session.  May  the  in- 
spiration linger  with  me  and  my  classmates  for 
many  a  year  to  come. 

Then  comes  the  question  of  negligence  on  the 
part  of  the  laity,  of  parents  as  well  as  of  teachers. 
One  way  to  overcome  this  is  to  spread  our  doc- 
trine to  the  extent  that  it  may  become  common 
knowledge  and  that  all  those  who  fail  to  heed 
its  precepts,  its  warnings  and  dangers  may  be 
made  to  support  the  weight  of  a  troubled  con- 
science when  the  ravages  of  disease  overtake 
them.  That  other  extreme  of  neglect  such  as  is 
concommitant  with  financial  straits,  strains  and 
worries  is  for  us  an  impenetrable  quagmire. 
Those  cases  come  within  the  jurisdiction  of  benev- 
olent societies  and  philanthropists.  They  will  per- 
sist until  the  millenium  when  our  present  dwarfed 
social  and  economic  laws  have  undergone  a  great 
evolution.  Thanks  to  the  kindness  of  Fate  many 
of  us  are  spared  the  pain  which  comes  with  the 
knowledge  of  the  existence  of  certain  conditions  I 
have  in  mind  ;  conditions  redounding  with  squalor 
and  wretchedness.  Poverty  stands  out  in  my 
mind  as  one  of  the  grave  hindrances  to  the  spread 
of  oral  hygiene.    The  removal  of  such  an  obstacle 


170

from  our  path  would  tax  the  patience  of  Job  as 
well  as  the  strength  of  a  Samson. 

Just  a  few  more  words  on  the  subject  of  al- 
truistic efforts.  In  discussing  the  subject  of  Oral 
Hygiene  with  several  practitioners  I  was  im- 
pressed with  their  scepticism  and  suspicion  of 
those  disinterested  workers  who  are  so  nobly 
sacrificing  so  much  effort  in  this  field.  Some 
men  seem  to  consider  it  an  absolute  impossibility 
for  anyone  to  work  without  the  prospects  of  im- 
mediate remuneration  in  view.  They  seem  to 
agree  thoroughly  with  Henderson  who  writes 
under  the  heading  of  Social  Welfare:  "The  con- 
ception of  social  welfare  becomes  inverted  and 
tyrannous  just  as  soon  as  it  fails  to  square  most 
rigidly  with  the  ideas  of  personal  good  fortune 
and  individual  happiness."  This  same  psycholo- 
gist further  insists :  "Social  welfare,  unchastened 
by  the  idea  of  individual  good  fortune,  is  a 
hideous  thing,  and  opens  the  door  to  as  many 
mischiefs  as  the  most  unbridled  self-indulgence 
of  individuals."  And  because  I  consider  altruism, 
the  watchword  of  Oral  Hygiene,  such  an  in- 
fluential factor  in  this  propaganda  I  will  now  state 
my  own  views  on  the  subject. 

In  the  case  of  a  few  of  us  there  is  an  inherent 
lust  for  the  study  of  science  when  we  undertake 
the  pursuit  of  medicine  and  its  allied  courses. 
But  the  ambition  of  the  average  man,  be  he  of 
the  profession  or  one  of  the  laity,  is  ever  the 
same,  i.  e.,  to  win  the  respect  and  admiration  of 
his  fellow-men,  to  be  popular,  to  make  his  ex- 
istence known  and  felt ;  in  short,  he  wants  to 
feel  that  he  is  exerting  an  influence  and  that 
he  is  occupying  a  place  in  the  community.  This 
is  a  highly  laudable  and  commendable  ambition 
worthy  of  any  man  with  real  red  blood  throbbing 
through  his  heart.  After  the  departure  from 
our  midst  of  such  a  man  it  will  be  unnecessary  to 
add  in  the  words  of  Antony :  "He  was  ambitious, 
if  it  were  so,  it  was  a  grievous  fault  and  grievous- 
ly hath  he  answered  it." 

I  contend  that  there  is  one  sure  way  of  endear- 
ing oneself  to  the  community  and  that  is  to  show 
them  that  we  are  interested  in  their  well  being 
and  happiness  and  are  willing  to  teach  them  and 
to  show  them  how  to  lighten  their  burden.  In 
this  day  when  the  struggle  for  existence,  especial- 
ly in  the  larger  cities,  has  become  as  soul  crushing 
as  it  is  heart-racking,  the  average  individual  finds 


himself  absorbed  to  distraction  and  finds  little 
or  no  time  for  the  observance  of  those  rules  of 
hygiene  upon  which  his  very  fitness  and  hopes 
of  survival  depend.  We,  who  by  inclination  or 
good  fortune  have  been  enabled  to  spend  some 
time  in  the  study  of  science  and  in  the  accumula- 
tion of  knowledge,  owe  it  to  our  less  fortunate 
brethren  and  to  the  community  as  a  whole  to 
disseminate  this  knowledge  and  to  assist  them  in 
this  unequal  struggle  for  existence.  It  is  an 
example  of  "Noblesse  oblige."  We  well  know 
that  poor  health  prevents  many  an  industrious 
person  from  qualifying  for  a  position  which  will 
enable  him  to  earn  a  decent  living  wage.  The 
ravages  of  disease  aggravate  and  intensify  the 
struggle.  By  instructing  our  patients  and  all 
those  who  come  wnthin  the  sphere  of  our  in- 
fluence to  observe  cleanliness  of  the  mouth,  that 
great  avenue  for  the  entrance  of  innumerable 
pathogenic  micro-organisms,  we  enable  them  to 
assist  Nature  in  maintaining  a  more  perfect 
balance.  By  aiding  them  in  the  preservation  of 
their  health,  we  make  them  useful  members  of 
society,  we  enable  them  to  assume  that  optimistic 
view  of  life  which  is  a  sequence  of  good  health 
and  remove  a  possible  incubus  from  the  State. 

Thus  our  work  in  spreading  the  propaganda 
of  oral  hygiene  makes  of  us  philanthropists  and 
benefactors  of  humanity.  Without  depriving  us 
of  the  good  things  in  life  we  by  our  own  worthy 
efforts  augment  and  enhance  those  blessings 
which  a  kind  Deity  showers  upon  us.  The  work 
reaps  its  own  rewards.  Our  patients  realize  that 
we  have  their  welfare  at  heart  and  that  we  are 
helping  to  lift  the  yoke  of  oppression  and  suf- 
fering "which  the  human  flesh  is  heir  to. 

And  because  we  meet  with  success  and  our 
practice  assumes  generous  proportions  we  should 
not  desist  from  further  efforts  and  travail.  We 
should  ever  strive  to  increase  our  wealth  'of 
knowledge  and  fields  of  utility.  Only  when  that 
great  benefactor  of  humanity,  that  all  providing 
Deity,  issues  the  call  are  we  permitted  to  lay  our 
work  aside  for  others  (our  descendants)  to  take 
it  up.  Then  we  may  know  at  the  parting  moment 
that  we  have  led  a  useful  life,  that  we  have  served 
a  worthy  purpose  while  we  existed  and  that  we 
have  made  this  world  of  ours  a  little  better  by 
having  dwelt  therein.

THE  HENRY  FORD  PEACE  EXPEDITION. 


Edgar  T.  Fell,  Law,  '17. 

The  Henry  Ford  Peace  Expedition  has  never 
been  understood  by  the  people  of  America.  It 
has  everywhere  been  talked  of  as  a  huge  joke,  a 
joy  ride,  an  advertising  scheme  and  even  by  some 
as  a  disgraceful  affair  which  should  have  been 
suppressed.  The  public  has  never  had  the  facts 
presented  to  it  in  their  true  form  and  it  has 
formed  an  opinion  based  largely  on  the  erroneous 
reports  printed  in  the  various  newspapers  during 
the  course  of  the  expedition. 

The  trip  was,  upon  its  face  and  in  the  light 
of  the  statements  made  at  that  time,  a  ludicrous 
conception  of  an  idealist,  a  project  doomed  to 
failure  and  one  well  calculated  to  produce  dire 
results.  This  must  be  granted,  and  it  was  this 
unfortunate  state  of  affairs  that  handicapped  be- 
yond measure  any  attempt  of  Mr.  Ford  under- 
taken at  that  time. 

Mr.  Ford  did  not  go  to  Europe  to  try  to  stop. 
the  war;  he  had  no  thought  of  being  able  to  do 
such  a  thing  with  160  Americans.  True,  the 
phrase  "Out  of  the  Trenches  by  Christmas"  was 
made  the  slogan.  It  was  an  unfortunate  state- 
ment let  drop  in  the  fervor  of  the  moment  and 
one  which  could  never  be  shaken  off.  But  he 
did  have  a  very  definite  plan  and  purpose.  It 
may  be  summed  up  in  the  words  "the  establish- 
ment of  the  doctrine  of  continuous  mediation." 
Put  plainly,  this  means  the  establishment  of  a 
body  of  officials  of  the  neutral  nations  to  con- 
stitute a  central  clearing  house  to  sit  during  the 
war,  to  serve  as  a  means  of  communication  be- 
tween the  various  belligerents,  and  to  take  up 
the  work  of  constructive  negotiation  just  where 
the  diplomatic  officials  left  off  at  the  beginning  of 
the  war.  Thus  he  proposed  to  set  in  motion,  now, 
the  very  machinery  which  is  ultimately  going  to 
take  up  the  problem  when  peace  is  declared.  He 
does  not  understand  why  it  is  necessary  to  wait 
until  the  end  of  the  war  before  beginning  active 
work  leading  to  the  final  settlement.  His  origi- 
nal plan  was  to  set  up  an  official  conference,  that 
is,  one  composed  of  individuals  appointed  by  the 
neutral  governments,  and  for  the  furtherance 
of  this  idea  he  appealed  with  numbers  of  others 
to  President  Wilson  for  an  official  recognition  of 
American  delegates.     The  failure  to  obtain  this 


government's  support  resulted  naturally  in  a  sim- 
ilar failure  in  other  neutral  countries. 

But  unshaken  in  his  faith  as  to  the  success  of 
his  idea  when  once  adopted,  Mr.  Ford  determined 
to  go  ahead  and  set  up  an  unofficial  conference 
and  to  take  abroad  a  number  of  Americans  of 
all  classes,  to  travel  through  Norway,  SwedeL, 
Denmark  and  Holland  with  a  view  of  presenting 
in  public  meetings  this  plan  of  continuous  media- 
tion to  the  people  of  those  countries  and  to  solicit 
their  support.  This  was  done,  and  in  every  coun- 
try visited  the  popular  interest  was  intense,  and 
from  each  a  delegation  of  from  ten  to  fifteen 
joined  the  expedition  and  traveled  with  it  through 
Germany  to  the  Hague.  Here  each  delegation 
elected  permanently  individuals  to  serve  on  the 
neutral  council,  which  council  immediately  or- 
ganized and  set  to  work  while  the  rest  of  the 
delegation  returned  to  their  respective  countries. 

This  then  is  the  whole  sum  total  of  the  Ford 
Expedition.  The  reader  must  make  a  distinction 
between  the  expedition,  that  is,  between  its  actual 
incidents  and  work  done  abroad  on  the  trip,  and 
the  idea  of  continuous  mediation  as  a  constructive 
peace  measure,  before  asking  "Was  it  a  success?" 
The  expedition  was  decidedly  a  success.  It  did 
exactly  what  it  was  intended  to  do  so  far  as 
spreading  the  idea  or  plan  and  obtaining  the  sup- 
port of  the  foreign  neutrals  are  concerned.  It 
established  a  neutral  body  of  representatives  of 
the  non-belligerent  countries.  That  body  is  now 
in  session  in  Stockholm,  having  moved  there  from 
the  Hague  at  the  urgent  request  of  the  people 
of  Sweden. 

As  to  the  success  of  the  plan  of  continuous 
mediation  through  the  existing  conference,  the 
question  is  entirely  distinct  and  is  one  which  cannot 
be  answered  as  yet,  as  the  conference  has  only  just 
begun  its  work.     That  is  a  question  of  the  future. 

Should  this  body,  however,  obtain  official  recog- 
nition and  be  permitted  to  bring  about  even  thd 
slightest  concession  or  understanding  between  the 
belligerents  in  regard  to  a  minute  point,  while  the 
war  is  now  going  on,  thus  tending  to  hasten  the 
end  by  even  a  few  hours,  any  money  or  effort 
expended  in  this  cause  will  have  been  amply  re- 
paid and  will  have  constituted  an  act  that  is  at 
once  a  service  to  humanity  and  an  honor  to  the 
men  and  women  thus  delegated  whose  devotion 
and  efforts  has  been  expended  therein.

It  is  indeed  a  pleasant  surprise  to  find  the 
changes  which  have  been  brought  about  in  the 
University  Library  in  the  past  two  years.  From 
an  ill-kept,  dust-covered,  dark,  uninviting  den  to 
a  neat,  clean,  bright,  attractive  reading  room; 
from  a  few  arm  chairs  and  individual  tables  to 
an  ample  number  of  large  library  tables  and 
chairs;  from  a  great  mass  of  books  scattered 
promiscuously  about  in  wall  cases  to  a  greater 
number  of  books  departmentized  and  placed  in 
convenient  up-to-date  library  cases;  from  a  few 
old  faded  periodicals  to  most  of  the  best  maga- 
zines of  the  day — in  short,  a  transformation  from 
the  undesirable  and  useless  to  the  inviting  and 
necessary.  We  thought  that  perhaps  it  lacks 
student  support,  but  Mrs.  Briscoe,  the  very  capa- 
ble trained  librarian  in  charge,  says  no.  There 
are  from  seventy-five  to  one  hundred  students 
who  daily  take  advantage  of  the  opportunity  this 
reading  and  study  room  affords.  The  library 
in  Davidge  Hall  is  a  thing  the  University  might 
well  be  proud  of  and  we  recommend  it  to  the 
patronage  of  both  faculty  and  student.

Terra  Marine  is  now  in  press  and  will  soon 
be  ofl^ered  to  the  public.  Last  year  the  manner  in 
which  its  business  was  conducted  did  everything 
but  reflect  credit  on  the  University,  and  this  was 
in  no  small  degree  a  consequence  of  the  lack  of 
support  and  appreciation  on  the  part  of  the 
alumni  and  faculty.  This  year  the  personnel  of 
the  editorial  staff  indicates  a  clean  business  record 
and  a  most  creditable  literary  publication.  When 
the  young  men  who  have  given  freely  of  their 
time  and  energy  are  ready  to  place  the  annual 
on  sale  every  one  should  do  his  part  in  paying 
the  small  subscription  and  so  aid  a  cause  which 
deserves  patronage. 


Billy  Sunday  is  in  our  midst  and  has  hit  the 
right  track.  If  we  have  said  anything  dis- 
paragingly of  him  we  retract.  He  is  all  that  his 
friends  claim  and  even  more.  We  have  not  "hit 
the  trail,"  but  we  have  been  converted  to  a  belief 
in  Mr.  Sunday's  sincerity  and  devotion.  He  seeks 
out  evil  and  evil-doers  and  flays  them  without 
mercy,  and  by  so  doing  makes  enemies  where 
he  might  court  a  favor.  He  hits  us  all  alike, 
but  we  deserve  it,  and  his  scathing  invectives 
must  be  accepted  as  proper  rebuke  to  the  male- 
factor.   Long  live  Sunday ! 


On  the  night  of  March  18,  the  University  was 
allotted  reservation  of  one  thousand  seats  in  the 
Sunday  Tabernacle.  This,  to  the  average  mind, 
would  seem  sufficient  to  accommodate  the  stu- 
dents and  faculties  of  the  four  departments. 
However,   indiscretion   and   selfishness    seem  to

predominate  in  the  mind  of  some  pretended 
friends  of  the  Law  Department  and  a  second 
reservation  was  secured  to  accommodate  the  law 
men.  The  law  students  were  there  and  showed 
the  proper  college  spirit,  and  there  can  be  no 
criticism  offered  them  for  not  joining  the  other 
three  departments,  but  of  the  one  or  ones  who 
erred  in  creating  such  a  breach  of  college  spirit 
there  can  be  no  reasonable  excuse.  A  refusal  to 
join  in  a  general  university  banquet  and  a  prefer- 
ence for  segregation  at  the  Sunday  meeting  would 
indicate  a  desire  on  the  part  of  some  one  to  avoid 
any  association  with  the  other  departments.  "Lay

HARLAN  LAW  SOCIETY  NOTES. 


The  regular  and  special  meetings  of  the  Harlan 
Law  Society  during  the  past  month  have  been 
full  of  life  and  vigor.  The  average  attendance 
for  the  month  is  twenty-six,  and  everyone  has 
seemed  to  enjoy  every  minute  of  each  meeting. 
Open  discussion  of  some  subject  announced  by 
the  president  has  made  up  the  programs.  The 
subject  which  was  under  discussion  at  both  the 
first  and  second  meetings  after  the  Gazette  went 
to  press  last  month  was  "The  Good  and  Bad  of 
the  Present  System  of  Running  the  Law  School ;" 
at  the  third  meeting,  "Billy  Sunday  and  His 
Methods.  Edel  and  Byrne  were  the  leaders,  pro 
and  con.  At  the  meeting  of  March  17  we  were 
greatly  benefited  by  a  debate  on  the  subject  "Mis- 
representation is  a  ground  for  the  Rescission  of 
an  Executed  Contract."  Messrs.  Oldhauser  and 
Kartman  for  the  affirmative.  Levy  and  Cooper, 
D.  G.,  for  the  negative.  The  judges,  Messrs.  Say- 
ler,  Sullivan  and  Firley,  held  their  decision  sub 
curia.  Mr.  Sayler  will  read  the  written  decision 
of  the  judges  at  the  meeting  of  March  24.

March  9,  at  7  o'clock.  In  spite  of  the  fact  that 
there  were  only  thirteen  members  present,  the 
meeting  was  most  enthusiastic.  The  1917  meet- 
ing will  likely  be  held  in  Harrisburg.  The  officers 
elected  for  the  ensuing  year  are  Dr.  Z.  C.  Myers,

Dr.  Winslow  is  in  receipt  of  the  following  let- 
ter from  Dr.  Thomas  Fell,  President  of  St.  John's 
College : 

March  19,  1916. 
"My  Dear  Dr.  Winslow  : 

"I  notice  in  the  copy  of  the  University 
Gazette  a  paragraph  above  your  initials  regard- 
ing a  joint  graduation  banquet  of  the  University 
of  Maryland. 

"I  heartily  approve  your  suggestions  and  hope 
you  will  be  able  to  get  the  deans  of  the  Law 
School  to  participate  in  the  plan. 

"However,  I  notice  in  a  foregoing  editorial 
that  the  writer  refers  only  to  the  faculties  and 
teaching  forces  of  the  four  schools. 

"Why  should  the  fifth  school,  viz :  Department 
of  Arts  and  Science,  be  left  out  of  consideration? 

"With  kind  regards,  I  am, 

"Very  sincerely  yours, 
"Thomas  Fell." 


MEDICAL— GRADUATE. 


Dr.  William  P.  Caton,  class  of  1896,  of  Acco- 
tink,  Va.,  was  a  recent  visitor  to  the  University 
Hospital.  He  was  warmly  greeted  by  a  number 
of  old  friends. 


Recent  gifts  to  the  Medical  Library  include 
twenty-six  fine  books  on  various  subjects  from 
Messrs.  Lea  &  Febiger,  publishers,  and  Collec- 
tanea Jacobi,  edited  by  Dr.  William  J.  Robinson, 
in  eight  volumes,  and  one  through  the  courtesy  of 
Sir  William  Osier. 


Dr.  Bascom  L.  Wilson,  class  of  1915,  who  has 
been  visiting  the  hospital  for  a  few  days,  is  resi- 
dent at  the  Old  Soldiers'  Home  Hospital  in 
Washington,  D.  C.     His  work  is  very  varied. 


Dr.  Charles  C.  Habliston,  class  of  1914,  was  on 
a  visit  to  Baltimore  lately.  He  is  at  present  resi- 
dent at  the  Cleveland  Municipal  Tuberculosis 
Hospital  at  Warrenville,  Ohio,  where  he  is  doing 
good  work.  He  has  been  induced  to  stay  another 
year.

March  14,  for  the  graduating  nurses  and  resi- 
dent physicians  of  the  University  Hospital.  The 
guests  numbered  about  fifty.  A  buffet  supper 
was  served  late  in  the  evening.  Two  of  the  resi- 
dents sang. 

Dr.  Everett  Le  Compte  Cook,  class  of  1914, 
who  for  the  past  two  years  has  been  resident  at 
the  iVIunicipal  Tuberculosis  Hospital,  will  enter 
private  practice  soon. 


Dr.  Charles  W.  Mitchell,  who  has  been  serious- 
ly ill  with  broncho-pneumonia,  following  an  at- 
tack of  grippe,  has  been  slightly  improved  the 
last  few  days.     We  wish  him  a  speedy  recovery. 


Dr.  Thomas  A.  Ashby,  who  has  been  very  ill, 
is  now  a  regular  and  frequent  visitor  to  the 
hospital.  We  are  delighted  to  learn  that  he  is 
getting  better. 

Dr.  E.  Howard  Tonolla,  class  of  1915,  will 
leave  the  University  Hospital  April  1  to  accept  a 
position  at  Gouveneur  Hospital  in  New  York. 


At  a  recent  meeting  at  Westminster  of  the  Car- 
roll County  Medical  Society,  Dr.  Joseph  W.  Hol- 
land, class  of  1896,  read  a  paper  on  "Modern 
Treatment  of  Fractures  of  Long  Bones." 


Among  the  recent  visitors  to  the  hospital  were 
Drs.  John  T.  McKee,  class  of  1907,  of  Raleigh, 
N.  C. ;  Guy  P.  Asper,  class  of  1903,  of  Chambers- 
burg,  Pa. ;  D.  B.  Moffitt,  class  of  1915,  now  con- 
nected with  the  Episcopal  Hospital,  Washington, 
D.  C. ;  S.  Harry  Greenburg,  class  of  1915,  of 
Los  Angeles,  Cal. ;  W.  H.  Smithson,  class  of 
1905,  of  New  Park,  Pa.,  and  Nelson  Osborn,  class 
of  1909,  of  Martinsburg,  W.  Va. 


We  have  been  definitely  informed  that  some 
of  the  residents  have  hit  the  "sawdust  trail." 


We  are  pleased  to  announce  that  Dr.  Frank  W. 
Keating,  class  of  1896,  Superintendent  of  the 
Maryland  Training  School  for  Feeble  Minded 
Children,  Owings  Mills,  Md.,  who  was  operated 
on  recently  for  gall  stones  and  chronic  appendi-

Elsewhere  in  this  number  of  the  Gazette  will 
be  found  a  beautiful  poem  by  "Prof."  Alexan-

The  Gazette  is  indeed  fortunate  in  securing  the 
"Professor's"  latest  effusion  for  exclusive  pub- 
lication. In  the  near  future  "Professor"  Geddes 
will  have  a  poem  on  "Love"  in  the  Gazette. 


Several  dozen  requests  have  been  received  from 
our  feminine  subscribers  asking  us  to  publish  the 
picture  of  R.  E.  Kanode,  '15,  the  now  famous 
Hagerstown  politician  and  attorney.  To  comply 
with  this  request  will  be  out  of  the  question  for 
the  present  at  least,  as  the  only  photograph  we 
have  of  the  "Boss"  is  one  taken  last  summer  at 
Glen  Echo  Park  while  he  was  eating  a  hot 
doggie. 


David  C.  Levenson,  '15,  otherwise  known  as 
"Ignatz,"  seems  to  be  on  the  crest  of  a  wave  of 
prosperity,  for  he  is  sporting  a  7  carat  diamond 
ring,  worth  in  the  neighborhood  of  $2,000.00.  He 
must  have  bought  some  duPont  stock.

J.  Owen  Knotts,  '14,  of  Denton,  Md.,  was  in 
the  city  during  the  month.  Mr.  Knotts  was  re- 
cently made  counsel  to  the  Board  of  County  Com- 
missioners of  Caroline  County,  and  despite  his 
youth  is  even  now  a  factor  in  Caroline  politics. 


The  reunion  banquet  of  the  1915  class  which 
was  held  at  the  Hotel  Rennert,  on  March  25,  was 
quite  a  success.  The  1915  class  decided  to  hold  a 
similar  affair  at  least  once  a  year  in  the  future, 
so  that  the  class  may  be  perpetuated. 


Mabbett  K.  Reckord,  '15,  is  at  present  in  the 
Hebrew  Hospital  recovering  from  an  operation 
for  appendicitis.  He  expects  to  leave  the  hos-

Daniel  J.  Healy,  '15,  wishes  to  emphatically 
deny  that  he  has  starter  a  Bar  Quiz  Class.  Some- 
one, it  seems,  had  posted  a  notice  to  this  effect 
in  the  library,  but  it  was  without  Mr.  Healey's 
knowledge  or  consent. 


Chas.  C.  Dipaula,  '14,  is  now  the  proud  father 
of  a  baby  boy,  and  in  honor  of  the  occasion  he 
moved  his  law  offices  to  larger  and  more  luxurious 
quarters.  He  is  now  located  at  215  Courtland 
street. 


Webster  C.  Tall,  '13,  has  accepted  a  position  in 
the  legal  department  of  the  U.  S.  F.  &  G.  Co., 
and  is  at  present  located  in  Albany,  N.  Y. 


Mr.  George  Oscar  Blome,  LL.B.,  class  of  1915, 
one  of  the  assistant  librarians  and  student  ad- 
visors for  the  Law  Department,  has  been  recently 
appointed  clerk  to  the  Practice  Court. 


William  McKendre  Travers,  LL.B.,  class  of 
1915,  announces  that  he  has  entered  upon  the 
practice  of  law  with  offices  at  43  Central  Savings 
Bank  Building,  Charles  and  Lexington  streets, 
Baltimore.  Phone,  St.  Paul  1622.  The  Gazette 
wishes  him  a  great  deal  of  success. 


Of  the  eight  lawyers  who  were  admitted  to 
practice  in  the  courts  of  this  city  by  the  Supreme 
Bench  on  March  15,  on  motion,  having  been  ad- 
mitted by  the  Court  of  Appeals,  five  of  them  were 


University  men.  They  were  Messrs.  Charles 
Frederick  Kammerer  and  Elmer  M.  Harper,  both 
of  the  class  of  1915,  and  William  S.  Gwynn, 
James  Burgess  Diggs  and  Frederick  Herman 
Hennighausen,  class  of  1916.  The  Gazette  ex- 
tends its  congratulations. 


The  attractive  appearance  of  the  library  has 
been  greatly  enhanced  during  the  past  month 
by  a  gift  from  the  Law  Department  of  six  hand- 
some clothes  trees.  These  supply  a  long-felt  want, 
as  with  the  large  and  increasing  attendance  in  all 
departments,  the  comfortable  disposition  of  the 
coats  and  hats  was  a  problem.

delegation  in  university  yells  and  in  cheers  for 
St.  John's  College,  Dean  Harlan,  Mr.  Sunday  and 
Secretary  Dickerson,  respectively. 

When  Mr.  Rodeheaver  called  for  our  delega- 
tion to  stand  up  we  sang,  to  the  tune  of  "Brighten 
the  Corner  Where  You  Are,"  the  following 
words :  "Up  in  that  college  where  we  are !  Up 
in  that  college  where  we  are!  We'll  take  the 
examinations,  then  we'll  pass  the  bar,  Up  in  that 
college  where  we  are." 

At  the  call  for  trail  hitters  about  half  the  dele- 
gation, lead  by  Mr.  Dickerson  and  Walter  V. 
Harrison,  Esq.,  went  up  to  shake  hands  with  Mr. 
Sunday.

Mr.  Ellis  Rosenberg  begs  to  announce  the  open- 
ing of  his  law  office  at  1207  Calvert  Building.  Mr. 
Rosenberg  was  one  of  the  lucky  ones  who  took  the 
recent  State  Bar  Examination  and  passed.  We 
congratulate  him  and  wish  him  much  success. 


Morris  Franklin,  the  well-known  politician,  and 
Ellis  Rosenberg  have  opened  law  offices  at  1207 
Calvert  Building. 


"Jimes"  Byrne,  debonair  young  sportsman  of 
the  senior  class,  recently  lost  a  bet.  For  full  par- 
ticulars see  Levin  or  Hepbron. 


Graham,  Brown  and  Gambrill  have  taken  offices 
in  the  Title  Building  and  will  be  open  for  busi- 
ness in  the  near  future.  This  will,  no  doubt,  put 
an  end  to  a  persistent  rumor  that  Newell  Graham 
and  Morris  Franklin  had  formed  a  partnership.

Albin  Widoff,  '17. 


As  usual  the  banquet  with  Hans  Froelicher, 
Jr.,  as  toastmaster,  was  a  rattling  success,  success 
to  the  n-th  degree,  success  with  a  bun  on.  With 
our  Hans  behind  anything  success  is  a  concomit- 
tant. Hooper  S.  Miles,  as  chairman  of  the  ban- 
quet committee,  cooked  up  a  dinner  for  the  gods, 
but  lawyers  ate  it.  Judge  J.  P.  Gorter  is  to  be 
thanked  for  his  optimistic  speech,  and  all  who 
attended  hope  that  the  "swift"  boys  like  Meyer, 
Weyer,  Ragland,  Maynard,  etc.,  take  heed  to  his 
warnings  about  dissipation. 

S.  Rogers  Page  spoke  with  the  boldness  of  a 
pirate,  with  the  destructive  criticism  of  a  Socrates 
and,  alas,  too,  too  solemly.  Ah,  if  he  only  knew 
how  lightly  his  auditors  took  it,  what  a  tragedy 
there  would  be.  Dave  Lowenstein,  Jr.,  had  to 
slaughter  his  speech  because  of  the  lack  of  time. 
However,  the  little  that  was  heard  provided  pleas- 
ure. Edgar  T.  Fell  gave  an  interesting  descrip- 
tion of  the  baths  of  Stockholm,  told  about  Ford, 
the  Oscar  II  and  the  nuts  on  board.  Albin  Widoff 
gave  out  prizes  to  the  members  of  the  class  who 
were  voted  as  excelling  in  various  vices  and  vir- 
tues. The  prizes  caused  amusement.  W.  Lester 
Baldwin,  president  of  the  senior  class,  was  the 


orator  of  the  evening.  His  talk  on  "An  Ancient 
Lie"  caused  discussion  and  surprise.  Nobody 
had  indigestion  and  nearly  all  got  home  safely.

With  fifty-seven  members  of  the  class  present 
and  with  an  elaborate  menu  that  would  satisfy  the 
palate  of  the  most  fastidious,  the  banquet  of  the 
class  of  1918  was  held  Saturday  night,  March 
4,  at  the  Rennert  Hotel.  Considering  the  fact 
that  it  was  the  first  afifair  of  its  kind  given  by 
the  class,  the  committee  in  charge  had  every  rea- 
son to  feel  elated  over  the  splendid  turn-out. 

Ex-Judge  Henry  D.  Plarlan  was  the  principal 
speaker.  He  made  particular  mention  of  the 
bill  which  he  prepared  requiring  better  qualifica- 
tions in  the  ranks  of  those  who  aspire  to  legal

practice  in  the  State.  He  expressed  keen  regret 
because  of  the  fact  that  the  bill  had  been  tabled. 
The  other  speaker  was  Edwin  T.  Dickerson,  sec- 
retary and  treasurer  of  the  Law  Department.  He 
dwelt  on  the  subject  of  efficiency  and  the  recon- 
struction and  progress  of  the  country  since  the 
Civil  War,  calling  attention  to  the  part  of  the 
legal  profession  in  this  work.  Herbert  T.  Tif- 
fany and  James  B.  Dennis  also  spoke.  They 
advised  the  students  to  uphold  the  standards  of 
the  University  and  to  hold  strictly  to  the  ethics 
of  the  profession. 

Robert  H.  Landstreet,  president  of  the  class, 
acted  as  toastmaster.  Other  members  of  the 
class  who  spoke  included  J.  Calvin  Carney,  Stan- 
ley K.  Harmon,  Allan  W.  Rhynhart,  J.  C.  Carter, 
Moses  Paulson  and  C.  W.  Hill,  all  of  whom 
spoke  of  the  importance  of  school  spirit  and  urged 
a  closer  feeling  of  fellowship  among  the  mem- 
bers of  the  junior  class. 

The  committee  in  charge  of  the  banquet  was 
composed  of  J.  Calvin  Carney,  chairman;  H.  D. 
Bierau,  G.  F.  Robinson,  Charles  Ruzicka,  Joseph 
Bernstein,  Richard  Wilkins,  Paul  C.  Wolman, 
George  H.  McCready  and  E.  A.  Cole. 

After  all  expenses  were  paid  for  the  banquet, 
a  small  balance  was  left  which  has  been  turned 
over  to  the  treasurer  of  the  class.  The  price  of  a 
place  was  $2.50.

the  rest  will  prove  beneficial. 


Since  Ben  has  gone  to  his  home  "Boins"  sleeps 
alone.  He  rolls  around  in  bed  so  much  that  he 
recently  skinned  his  toes.  His  feet  are  not  to

a  green  hat,  green  tie  and  a  green  carnation 
adorned  his  button  hole.  We  suggest  that  he  be 
given  a  bouquet  of  green  bananas.  No,  Lena 
isn't  German.

PHARMACY— GRADUATE. 

The  Baltimore  branch  of  the  American  Phar- 
maceutical Association  at  its  February  meeting 
took  a  decided  stand  against  the  bill  introduced 
in  the  Maryland  Legislature  which  sought  to 
impose  onerous  restrictions  upon  physicians  who 
dispensed  their  own  medicines.  The  measure 
has  since  been  killed. 

The  prescription  presented  at  the  November 
meeting  by  Charles  L.  Meyer,  which  called  for 
4  drams  of  copaiba,  2  drams  of  balsam  of  Peru,  3 
drams  of  oil  of  turpentine  and  syrup  of  lemon 
sufficient  to  make  6  ounces,  in  which  the  balsam 
of  Peru  was  the  disturbing  factor,  was  shown  ta 
be  a  good  emulsion  when  made  by  the  addition 
of  2  drams  of  sweet  almond  oil,  the  mixture

UNIVERSITY  GAZETTE. 


being  emulsified  with  4  drams  of  acacia  and  6 
drams  of  water.  The  balsam  of  Peru  was  added 
to  the  primary  emulsion  and  thoroughly  incor- 
porated, the  syrup  of  lemon  being  added  last. 


The  creation  of  a  social  committee  was  ap- 
proved with  Miss  Annie  M.  Patterson  as  chair- 
man. 


A  number  of  articles  in  the  pharmaceutical 
journals  were  brought  up  and  discussed.  One  of 
them  stated  that  when  tincture  of  strophanthus  is 
mixed  with  water  hydrolysis  takes  place,  and  a 
toxic  compound  is  formed.  It  was  therefore 
thought  best  that  the  tincture  should  not  be  pre- 
scribed in  aqueous  mixtures,  but  should  be  diluted 
just   before    administering. 

Tincture  of  lavender  compound  was  stated  to 
be  an  excellent  disguise  for  valerian,  and  oil 
of  lavender  was  mentioned  as  very  good  for  re- 
moving the  odor  of  valerian  from  mortars,  es- 
pecially of  pills  of  the  three  valeriates. 

The  oil  was  also  recommended  for  masking 
the  odor  of  cook  cabbage. 


The  March  meeting  will  probably  be  a  joint 
session  with  the  Retail  Druggists'  Association, 
at  which  Dr.  Beavers  will  be  requested  to  give  a 
stereopticon  lecture  on  vaccines  and  sermus. 


The  social  committee  of  the  Maryland  Pharma- 
ceutical Association  gave  a  card  party  and  dance 
at  the  Hotel  Eemrson  on  Tuesday,  March  7,  at 
8  P.  M.  The  attendance  was  large  and  the  affair 
proved  a  great  success. 


ACADEMIC— GRADUATE. 


The  first  of  the  Course  of  University  Extension 
Lectures  was  delivered  on  Monday  evening, 
March  6,  in  McDowell  Hall,  by  Lieut.  George  D. 
Riley,  of  the  Coast  Artillery  Corps  United  States 
Army,  on  "Our  Regular  Army,  and  What 
America  Demands  of  Her  Young  men."  Lieu- 
tenant Riley  paid  a  glowing  tribute  to  the  sterling 
qualities  of  manhood  which  have  been  a  part  of 
the  American  soldier  from  the  very  earliest  pio- 
neer days  of  our  country.    He  then  took  up  our 


Army  as  it  is  today,  its  different  branches,  dis- 
cipline, personnel,  and  just  what  is  expected  of 
men  and  officers.  At  the  conclusion,  he  compli- 
mented Lieutenant  McNeil  and  the  battalion  upon 
the  good  work  which  the  latter  is  doing  during 
the  drill  hour  every  day. 


We  are  very  glad  to  see  Professor  Gray,  who 
has  been  confined  to  his  home  since  February  3 
on  account  of  scarlet  fever,  out  again.  He  has 
resumed  his  duties  in  the  chemical  laboratory. 


ACADEMIC— UNDERGRADUATE. 


The  1916  Rat-Tat,  comparatively  speaking,  is 
nearing  completion.  Most  of  the  material  has 
been  turned  over  to  the  printers  and,  unless  some 
unavoidable  delay  occurs,  the  annual  will  be  out 
promptly  on  the  1st  of  May.  The  book  has 
been  modeled  on  an  entirely  different  line  from 
that  of  last  year.  Ideas  and  suggestions  have 
been  gleaned  from  other  year-books,  re-arranged 
in  some  cases  and  embodied  in  it.  The  sponsor- 
ship effect,  the  pages  of  cartoons,  humorously 
depicting  different  phases  of  student  life  and 
various  other  little  fooleries,  should  be  of  interest 
to  the  students.  The  cover  will  be  black  morocco 
stamped  in  gold  block  letters  and  bids  fair  to  be 
most  attractive. 


The  last  regular  pre-Lenten  hop  was  given  in 
the  gymnasium  Friday  night,  March  3d,  by  the 
Cotillion  Club.  The  guests  were  received  by 
Prof,  and  Mrs.  S.  S.  Handy.  All  the  well-known 
"fussers"  were  present  and  a  lot  of  attractive 
girls,  both  from  town  and  out  of  town.  It  was  a 
most  enjoyable  affair  and,  coming  just  before 
Lent,  was  all  the  merrier.  The  next  hop  will  be 
the  Easter  one. 


As  we  go  to  press  we  learn  that  the  Faculty 
has  granted  permission  for  a  formal  dance  to  be 
held  in  the  gymnasium  on  Friday,  March  31st, 
under  the  auspices  of  the  Senior  Class.  A  formal 
hop  in  mid-Lent  is  somewhat  of  an  innovation 
at  St.  John's  and  this  affair  should  do  much  to 
add  life  to  this  season  when  there  are  so  few 
diversions.

NURSING. 


The  regular  meeting  of  the  Nurses'  Alumnae 
Association  of  the  University  of  Maryland  was 
held  at  the  University  Hospital  on  the  afternoon 
of  March  1,  Miss  M.  E.  Ralph,  president,  in  the 
chair. 

Nursing  topics  were  discussed  and  a  commit- 
tee was  appointed  whose  work  it  is  to  see  why 
the  graduates  of  the  Training  School  do  not  be- 
long  to   their  Alumnae   Association. 

Miss  Pauline  B.  Pleasants,  class  of  1910,  was 
elected  delegate  to  the  annual  convention  of  the 
American  Nurses'  Association  which  is  to  be  held 
in  New  Orleans  the  last  of  April. 

After  the  meeting  refreshments  were  served 
and  a  social  half  hour  spent. 


The  regular  monthly  meeting  of  the  Maryland 
State  Association  of  Graduate  Nurses  was  held 
at  St.  Joseph's  Hospital  on  the  evening  of  Feb- 
ruary 25,  Miss  E.  M.  Lawler,  president,  in  the 
chair. 

Dr.  Mary  Stone,  of  China,  gave  a  brilliant  talk 
of  her  medical  and  nursing  experiences  and  asked 
the  members  of  the  Association  to  interest  nurses 
in  that  field  of  work  as  the  opportunities  for 
women  to  help  humanity  in  China  were  unbound- 
ed, as  nursing  was  in  its  primitive  stage. 

This  was  strictly  a  social  meeting  and  refresh- 
ments were  served. 


Miss  Florence  Skinner,  class  of  1915,  is  con- 
fined to  her  home  with  scarlet  fever,  and  we 
all  wish  her  a  speedy  recovery. 


Miss  Sophie  Featherstone,  class  of  1900,  has 
opened  a  small  hospital  at  Sandy  Spring,  Md., 
with  Dr.  Jacob  Wheeler  Bird,  class  of  1907,  as 
head  physician.  The  Gazette  wishes  her  much 
success. 


Miss  Lillian  'McDaniel,  class  of  1915,  was 
operated  on  at  the  Kernan  Hospital,  Hillsdale, 
for  appendicitis  and  is  able  to  be  out  again.

successful.  The  Gazette  extends  its  congratu-

MARRIAGES. 


Dr.  Frank  Martin,  class  of  1886,  professor  of 
operative  and  clinical  surgery,  University  ot 
Marjdand,  of  Baltimore,  Md.,  was  married  to 
Miss  Elizabeth  Prescott  Bigelow,  of  Boston, 
Mass.,  March  1,  1916.  The  ceremony  was  per- 
formed at  3  o'clock  P.  M.,  at  Trinity  Protestant 
Episcopal  Church,  Copley  Square,  Boston,  by 
Rev.  Dr,  Mann  in  the  presence  of  the  mem- 
bers of  the  two  families  and  a  few  friends.  The 
wedding  was  very  quiet,  owing  to  the  recent 
death  of  the  bride's  brother.  A  small  reception 
followed  at  the  town  house  of  Mr.  and  Mrs. 
Bigelow  on  ]\Iarlboro  street. 

Through  all  the  years  since  his  graduation  Dr. 
Martin  has  been  an  integral  and  important  factor 
in  the  University  and  the  University  Hospital. 

His  history  has  been  one  of  singular  devotion 
to  his  work  in  surgery,  and  that  work  has  been 
of  an  excellence  that  has  given  him  distinguished 
success  and  a  prominence  in  his  community  and 
out  of  it  of  the  first  rank.  Grounded  in  his  art  in 
his  younger  years  by  a  fortunate  and  close  asso- 
ciation with  our  master  surgeon,  Dr.  Tiffany,  he 
has  continually  developed  and  expanded,  keeping 
abreast  with  modern  advance  and  offering  by  the 
way  from  time  to  time  to  the  progress  valuable 
contributions  of  his  own. 

He  is  a  skillful,  painstaking  operator,  abun- 
dantly bold,  yet  admirably  conservative.  As  a 
teacher,  he  is  original  and  forceful,  direct  and 
convincing.  His  medical  inheritance  is  of  a  cen- 
tury's growth.  His  father's  father  was  a  con- 
spicuous pioneer  in  Baltimore  practice,  and  his 
father,  too,  was  through  an  active  life  and  in  the 
best  sense  a  T^Iaryland  doctor  of  the  old  school. 


Through  his  mother,  also,  he  brings  medical  tra- 
dition, and  by  colonial  descent  is  related  widely  to 
representative  families  throughout  the  State. 

Dr.  and  Mrs.  Martin  will  reside  at  1000  Cathe- 
dral street  upon  their  return  from  Palm  Beach, 
Fla.

Pollen  Immunization  in  Hay  Fever. 


T  TAY  FEVER,  whether  of  the  early  or  late  type,  has  long  been  recognized  as  a  pollen  intoxication— the  spring 
■*■  •*■  variety  being  due  to  the  pollen  of  grasses,  especially  timothy;  the  autumnal  variety,  so  common  in  North  America, 
chiefly  to  the  pollens  of  ragweed. 

TIMOTHY  POLLEN  EXTRACT  is  an  efficient  immunizing  agent  against  the  early  variety  of  hay  fever. 

RAGWEED  POLLEN  EXTRACT  is  an  efficient  immunizing  agent  against   the   late  variety  of  hay  fever. 

While  susceptibility  to  both  types  of  pollen  is  not  common,  we  also  supply   POLLEN   EXTRACT   COMBINED 
(Timothy  emd  Ragweed). 

The  extracts  are  administered  hypodermatically.     They  are  accurately  standardized. 

Each  package  contains  three  5-miI  (5-Cc.)  vials,  of  10  units,  100  units 
and  1000  units  per  vial,  respectively:  one  vial  of  physiological  salt  solution 
for  use  as  a  diluent,  and  one  scaritier. 

We  also  supply  a  package  containing,  in  addition,  a  graduated  all- 
glass  syringe. 

Full  directions  as  to  application  and  dosage  accompany  each  package. 

Pollen  extracts  have  given  very  good  results  v^rhen  administered  after  the  onset  of  symptoms,  but   the  heat  effects 
ate  to  be  obtained  by  starting  the  immunizing  treatment  a  month  or  six  weeks  before  the  pollen  seasons. 

FOR  SPRING  POLLINOSIS-IMMUNIZE  NOW! 

Literature  on  any  or  all  of  our  pollen  extracts 
sent  to  physicians  on  request.

B.  Merrill  Hopkinson,  D.  C.  D.,  A.  M.,  M.  D., 
Professor  Oral  Hygiene  and  History. 


On  Thursday,  March  2,  the  ranks  of  the  mighty 
caravan  marching  silently  into  the  great  unknown 
was  augmented  by  the  presence  of  the  soul  of  a 
noble  man  who,  having  labored  faithfully  for 
three-quarters  of  a  century  during  his  probation- 
ary period  here  below,  passed  on  to  rest  and  his 
reward.  The  flood  of  happy  memories  which 
passes  in  review  as  I  think  of  my  good  friend 
and  co-worker,  Dr.  G.  Lane  Taneyhill,  Sr.,  is 
indeed  overwhelming  in  intensity  as  well  as  in 
the  number  and  character  of  the  various  inci- 
dents. His  life  furnished  me  many  an  inspiration 
for  better  service,  to  him  I  am  indebted  for  many 
honors  from  our  mutual  Alma  Mater,  and  his 
passing  has  stimulated  me  to  write  this  paper  for 
the  Gazette.  I  wish  we  had  more  men  of  his 
type.  There  are  many  men,  now  living,  who 
must  be  included  in  the  list  of  helpful  agencies  in 
the  good  work  for  the  University,  and  when  they 
shall  have  finished  their  course  their  names  also 
will  be  placed  upon  the  honor  role.  I  knew  Dr. 
Taneyhill  intimately  for  many  years,  first  of  all 
as  a  charming,  genial  gentleman,  endowed  with 
all  the  courtly  graces  of  a  generation,  which  has 
alas,  passed  away.  I  met  him  in  many  relations 
of  life,  but  more  especially  in  connection  with 
university  matters  relating  to  the  Alumni  Asso- 
ciations of  the  Medical  Department  and  the  Gen- 
eral Association.  While  he  was  specifically  de- 
voted to  the  former,  the  latter  always  had  his 
cordial  co-operation  ;  indeed  there  was  not  a  phase 
of  university  activity  in  which  he  was  not  keenly 
interested.  It  is  primarily  due  to  his  untiring  en- 
trgy,  zeal  and  good  management  that  the  first 
mentioned  association  has  been  kept  alive.    There 


has  been  an  annual  election  of  President  and  oth- 
er officers,  with  an  executive  committee,  whose 
duties  it  was  to  conduct  its  affairs.  These  duties 
consisted  in  meeting  upon  the  call  of  Dr.  Taney- 
hill and  simply  ratifying  each  separate  item 
which  he  had  carefully  arranged  in  advance,  the 
minutest  detail  having  been  thoughtfully  consid- 
ered by  him.  In  my  opinion  his  greatest  joy,  out- 
side of  his  ideal  family  life,  was  the  annual  meet- 
ing and  banquet  of  this  association,  when,  for  the 
most  part,  he  denied  himself  the  pleasures  of  the 
table  in  his  ceaseless  efforts  to  make  everyone 
present  enjoy  himself  to  the  fullest  possible  ex- 
tent upon  this  joyous  night. 

The  above  service  is  but  an  index  to  all  his 
labors  for  his  Alma  Mater,  which  he  made  real 
labors  of  love,  honoring  her  alike  by  his  life  of 
purity  and  high  ideals,  as  well  as  by  a  sincere  de- 
votion, manifested  by  material  acts,  whenever  it 
was  in  his  power  to  render  them.  I  do  not  think 
we  University  of  Maryland  men  fully  grasp  the 
immense  value  of  membership  in  the  Alumni  As- 
sociation. If  we  did,  instead  of  having  a  few 
hundred  names,  we  should  have  thousands  upon 
the  roll.  This  association  is  the  link  which  unites 
the  fledgling  to  his  Alma  Mater  and  helps  to 
keep  alive  the  spark  of  loyalty  when,  sheepskin 
in  hand,  he  goes  out  from  her  watchful  care  to 
enter  the  great  arena  of  life's  combat  and  fight  in 
his  own  strength.  Dr.  Taneyhill  felt  this  most 
keenly,  and,  like  the  writer,  loved  to  think  of  the 
charm  and  power  of  the  last  impression  given  the 
student  after  he  had  reached  his  university  goal. 
Who  can  measure  the  good  which  his  many  years 
of  service,  and  his  whole-souled  devotion  to  this 
one  cause,  achieved  for  our  beloved  institution? 
Let  us  honor  his  memory  and  enshrine  him  in  our 
heart  of  hearts,  as  "Miiis  sini  dignus  ista  digna 
parente." 

Why  is  it  that  so  many  of  our  graduates  fail 


188 


UNIVERSITY   GAZETTE. 


to  exhibit  tliat  degree  of  loyalty  to  the  Alma 
Mater,  which  is  the  distinguishing  mark  of  the 
alumni  of  almost  every,  other  institution  in  the 
world.  This  question  has  been  an  unanswered 
riddle  to  me  since  I  received  my  authority  to 
practice.  There  seems  to  be  a  strange  feeling  in 
the  minds  of  many  of  our  graduates,  viz. ;  that  in 
the  payment  of  tuition  fees  all  obligations  are 
cancelled  and,  with  diploma  in  hand,  all  indebted- 
ness ceases.  I  cannot  comprehend  such  an  un- 
natural attitude  of  mind.  When  I  think  of  the 
real  sacrifices  which  have  been  made  by  many  of 
the  teaching  staff  and  their  universal  loyalty  to 
the  highest  ideals  of  university  tradition,  I  mar- 
vel that  so  many  countless  hundreds  who  have 
been  nurtured  within  her  walls,  have  failed  to 
manifest  some  measure  of  loyalty  in  the  ordinary, 
everyday  avenues,  opened  to  all.  To  my  way  of 
thinking  one  can  never  repay  ones  Alma  Mater, 
certainly  not  in  money,  for  the  priceless  gift  of 
knowledge  gained  in  student  days.  Such  a 
thought  never  enters  the  mind  of  a  youth  when 
thinking  of  a  loving  parent  who  has  enabled  him 
to  pursue  his  studies,  or  of  a  school,  college  or 
university,  from  which  he  has  received  his  earlier 
degrees.  His  gratitude  and  love  for  these  agen- 
cies remain  when  thousands  of  other  cherished 
memories  have  passed  beneath  the  every  swelling- 
tide  of  Lethe.  Wherein  are  our  graduates 
lacking  in  loyalty,  and  what  can  be  done  to  keep 
alive  the  fires  of  devotion  upon  the  hearthstone 
of  our  Alma  Mater?  In  the  first  place,  all  those 
who  have  not  affiliated  with  the  Alumni  Associa- 
tion should  do  so  at  once.  By  using  the  definite 
article  I  mean  the  General  Association,  which 
includes  graduates  from  all  departments.  I  feel 
that  I  am  justified  in  taking  this  stand  as  a  loyal 
alumnus  of  the  Medical  Deparment,  having  main- 
tained my  membership  in  its  association  since  the 
year  of  my  graduation,  more  than  a  quarter  cen- 
tury ago ;  and  that,  in  so  doing,  I  am  not  disloyal 
to  the  department  which  gave  me  the  knowledge 
and  the  right  to  practice  medicine.  For  many 
years  I  have  felt  that  it  would  be  best  to  have  only 
one  association,  in  which  case,  we  might,  perhaps, 
approach  a  little  nearer,  in  one  way  at  least,  the 
university  idea,  so  lacking  in  the  general  scheme 
of  our  most  worthy  institution.  The  Medical  As- 
sociation has  honored  me  in   every  way  in  its 


power,  and  while  I  cannot  help  but  feel  that  it 
would  be  best  if  it  should  merge  with  the  Gen- 
eral Association,  which  would  then  become  the 
Alumni  Association,  I  shall  remain  a  loyal  mem- 
ber until  the  end.  By  becoming  a  member  of  an 
alumni  association  one  enters  into  a  bond  with 
his  Alma  Mater  and  is  much  more  likely  to  keep 
up  a  vital  interest  in  her  aft'airs  than  should  he 
sever  all  connection  after  graduation.  When  one 
enters  into  fellowship  with  our  General  Associa- 
tion one  of  the  rewards  is  that  he  is  immediately 
placed  upon  the  mailing  list  of  this  paper,  and 
is  thereby,  month  by  month,  kept  in  close  touch 
with  all  the  happenings  in  the  university,  and 
nothing  so  stimulates  a  loyal  spirit  as  to  read  of 
the  ambitions,  struggles,  hopes  and  successes  of 
one"s  Alma  Mater.  I  question  if  there  is  any 
event  in  our  lives  that  so  touches  the  heart  as  an 
Alumni  reunion,  which  brings  together,  year  by 
year,  the  men  who  sat  upon  the  same  benches 
during  student  days.  The  above  ideas,  and  many 
others,  have  been  beautifully  expressed  by  Dr.  J. 
Franklin  Jameson  in  his  poem,  "Alma  Mater," 
which  I  herewith  reproduce : 
To  thee  we  come  from  far  and  near.  Alma  Mater, 

bearing 
Each  his  gifts  to  lay  them  here,  each  thine  honors 

sharing. 
At  thy  feet  once  more  they  sit,  find  each  year 

returning. 
The  torch  at  which  our  Tamps  we  lit,  still  serenely 

burning. 
Afar  we  see  that  beacon  liglit.  hear  abroad  thy 

praises. 
Oh,  feed  that  holy  flame  aright,  till  none  more 

brightly  blazes. 
We  enkindling  here  anew,  light  of  thy  bestowing. 
Bear  us  as  thy  servants  true,  on  thine  errands 

going. 
Fill   us   with   the   highest   things,   oh,   benignant 

mother. 
All  that  lifts  man,  all  that  brings  brother  near  to 

brother. 
Spread  the  truth  that  maketh  free,  night  to  day- 
light turning. 
Let  the  world  receive  from  thee,  noblest  fruits  of 

learning. 
To  enroll  oneself  as  a  member  of  an  alumni 
association  is  good,  but  that  is  not  sufficient.   One

must  bring  his  gifts  and  lay  them  at  the  feet  of 
his  Ahna  Mater.  One  must,  year  by  year,  return 
in  the  body,  if  possible,  if  not,  then  in  spirit,  and 
relight  one's  lamp  at  her  torch,  ever  keeping 
within  the  rays  of  her  signal  light.  One  must 
spread  abroad,  as  well  as  hear,  her  praises,  and 
feed  the  holy  flame  so  that  all  will  know  which 
beacon  is  the  brightest  upon  the  sea  of  scientiiic 
life.  As  we  live  true  to  her  noble  traditions,  we 
will  willingly  share  her  burdens,  go  upon  he  er- 
rands, never  permitting  any  earthly  thing  to  dim 
the  light  of  our  benignant  mother  who  has  given 
us  our  chart  and  compass  whereby  we  may  sail 
safely  upon  the  ocean  of  life,  spreading  her  truths 
for  the  benefit  of  all  the  world. 

In  the  second  place,  we  live  in  an  age  which 
does  not  hold  a  place  for  people  or  institutions 
of  retiring  dispositions.  We  are  sons  and  daugh- 
ters of  one  of  the  oldest  and  noblest  institutions 
in  the  land.  Her  traditions  are  the  best,  her 
graduates  have  held,  and  are  holding,  positions 
of  conspicuous  prominence  wherever  science  is 
known.  It  should  be  our  duty  to  make  known 
her  traditions,  her  superlative  facilities  for  educa- 
tion, which  when  contrasted  with  other  seats  of 
learning,  place  her  facile  princeps  among  institu- 
tions of  highest  rank.  This  is  more  especially  true 
regarding  the  legal,  medical  and  oral  departments, 
the  former  standing  alone,  the  two  latter  hav- 
ing absorbed  all  other  schools  but  one  in  Bal- 
timore. When  one  considers  the  handicap  laid 
upon  an  unendowed  school  for  many  years  past 
and  the  painful  apathy  of  our  Alumni,  the  strug- 
gle to  keep  in  first-class  company  has  indeed  been 
an  almost  superhuman  one ;  but  the  exalting  fact 
that  those  whose  duty  it  has  been  to  manage  our 
affairs  have  succeeded  in  so  doing  has  been  mar- 
vellous and  inspiring.  The  University  has  had  a 
noble  heritage  and  all  who  hold  her  degree  may 
well  be  proud  of  her  standing,  and  that  of  many 
of  her  Alumni  in  the  practice  of  all  the  sciences 
in  which  they  were  instructed  while  within  her 
honored  precincts.  Lastly,  the  days  of  the  unen- 
dowed school  are  numbered.  Will  the  thousands 
of  our  living  alumni  who  proudly  display  their 
diplomas  only  awake  to  the  full  realization  of 
their  lack  of  loyalty  upon  being  shown  the  start- 
ling handwriting  upon  the  wall  which  convulsed 
the  great  King  Belshazzar  in  days  of  antiquity. 


and  which  may  apply  alike  to  Alma  Mater  and 
Alumni,  "mene,  viene,  tekel,  upharsin."  Thy 
educational  kingdom  is  numbered  and  finished ! 
Thou  are  weighed  in  the  balances  and  art  found 
wanting !  Thy  kingdom  is  divided  and  given  to 
another!  God  forbid  that  the  day  should  ever 
dawn  for  us  when  wei  might  witness  the  close  of 
our  noble  institution,  after  a  life  of  forceful  activ- 
ity of  our  hundred  and  nine  years.  The  future 
holds  such  a  possibility  if  our  Alumni  fail  in  the 
loyal  duty  of  providing  adequate  means  of  sus- 
tentation,  and  the  State  refuses  to  recognize  prop- 
erly, the  claims  of  the  oldest  and  best  school  with- 
in her  borders.  Other,  and  newer  institutions 
have  not  been  laggards,  as  we  have  been,  in  seek- 
ing, and  receiving  large  sums  of  money,  from  in- 
dividuals and  the  State,  and  in  sending  broadcast 
their  individual  and  corporate  claims  to  recogni- 
tion from  every  point  of  view.  Let  us  take  a 
much  needed  lesson  from  such  sources,  proceed 
to  advertise  our  Alma  Mater  by  establishing  a 
bureau  of  information  and  publicity.  Let  each 
Alumnus  make  himself,  and  herself,  a  committee 
of  one  to  tell  the  world  that  those  desiring  an 
education  in  the  arts  and  sciences,  in  medicine, 
law,  pharmacy  and  stomatology,  can  best  accomp- 
lish this  by  matriculating  and  pursuing  their 
course  of  studies  in  the  University  of  Maryland. 
Not  only  so.  Let  each  Alumnus  lay  the  subject 
of  securing  a  large  permanent  fund  for  endow- 
ment upon  his  conscience,  and  each  do  his  part 
in  securing  it.  If  each  one  of  the  thousands  of 
our  Alumni  gave  but  one  dollar  a  year,  think  how 
rapidly  our  fund  would  increase,  and  how  soon 
our  University  would  be  placed  upon  a  sound  and 
enduring  financial  basis.  This  is  the  most  help- 
ful avenue  of  service  open  to  our  graduates,  and 
as  one  of  the  trustees  of  our  endowment  fund 
I  cannot  too  strongly  urge  a  deeper  and  more 
fruitful  loyalty  upon  the  part  of  our  sons  and 
daughters  than  that  which  can  be  manifested  in 
giving  of  their  substance,  and  urging  others  to 
give,  to  the  kind  mother  who  gave  them  so  much, 
Who  wUl  join  with  me  in  an  annupl  contribution 
to  the  general  endozvment  fund?  Put  me  down, 
Mr.  Editor,  for  one  dollar  per  year,  which  I  agree 
to  pay  annually  before  the  first  day  of  June.  I 
say  one  dollar,  for  I  shall  hope  thousands  will 
follow  me  with  a  similar  amount,  but  I  am  per-

fectly  willing  to  say  five  dollars,  and  it  is  a  pleas-- 
ure  to  look  back  and  think  that  I  have  already 
given  many  times  five.  I  would  suggest  that  an 
endowment  column  be  opened  in  the  Gazette,  in 
which,  as  upon  a  roll  of  honor,  all  the  names  of 
subscribers  be  published;  may  it  grow  to  mighty 
proportions,  and  let  no  one  feel  that  he,  or  she,  is 
limited  as  to  the  amount  which  may  be  subscribed. 
I  have  merely  touched  upon  a  few  points  wherein 
I  feel  there  has  been  a  lack  of  Alumni  loyalty 
Others  will  occur,  I  am  sure,  to  those  who  may 
read  this  paper.  I  wish  it  were  possible  to  plac^ 
this,  or  a  similar  reminder  in  the  hands  of  each 
living  Alumnus,  and  not  have  such  an  appeal  stop 
after  being  read  by  the  few  hundreds  who  receive 
this  journal,  many  of  whom  do  not  need  it.  I 
firmly  believe,  however,  that  some  good  result 
comes  from  every  honest  effort  made  in  this 
world,  be  it  ever  so  humble  or  imperfect ;  and  it  is 
my  heartfelt  wish  that  this  earnest  plea  of  mine 
for  a  more  abiding  loyalty,  may  touch  the  hearts 
of  many  negligent  sons  and  daughters  of  our  be- 
loved institution  and  lead  them  into  increased 
paths  of  usefulness  in  the  days  which  are  to 
come.  In  conclusion,  I  ask  you  all  to  join  with 
me  in  saying  in  your  hearts  and  with  your  lips, 
the  following  lines  which  I  have  the  honor  to 
dedicate  to  my 

ALMA  MATER. 
University  of  Maryland,  1916. 

Dear  mother,  we  greet  thee  with  loyal  acclaim, 

And  with  trustful  hearts  faithful  and  leal : 
To  thy  hearthstone  with  each  passing  year,  we 
come 

Both  our  love  and  devotion  to  seal. 
We  render  thee  homage  Terra  Mariae, 

Ever  keeping  thy   blest   mem'ry   warm, 
True   guide   in    our   journeyings,    flow'r   of   our 
hearts, 

Always  glowing  thro'  calm  and  thro'  storm. 

When  thy  children  return  and  bow  at  thy  shrine 
To  acknowledge  allegiance  and  worth, 

How  rich  are  thy  mem'ries !     The  sun  brighter 
beams 
Than  when  shining  on  less  hallowed  earth. 

EacW  man  and  each  maiden  will  shed  fairer  light 
In  thy  sacred  halls,  where  they  began 


Their  journey  towards  science,  to  broaden  the 
streams 
That  make  worthy  their  labors  for  man. 

Heaven  bless  thee  and  grant  thee  a  destiny  great. 

May  thy  sons  e'er  ennoble  thy  name, 
"Filius  sim  dignus  ista  digna  parente" 

Be  emblazoned  in  letters  of  flame! 
Then  onward  we  press  in  the  combat  of  life. 

In  the  strength  of  thy  precepts  and  lore ; 
Still  striving  for  honor  and  battling  for  right. 

Till  we  rest  on  eternity's  shore.

REMARKS  OF  DR.  FRANCIS  TURQUAND 
MILES. 


The  following  remarks  were  made  by  Dr.  Miles 
at  the  Academy  of  Music,  October  12th,  1880, 
at  a  Commemorative  Dinner  of  the  Maryland  His- 
torical Society,  given  in  celebration  of  the  One 
Hundred  and  Fiftieth  Anniversary  of  the  Settle- 
ment of  Baltimore.  They  were  in  response  to  the 
fourth  toast  of  the  evening : 

"The  Arts  and  Sciences  in  Baltimore — ^Liberal 
Arts  Should  Thrive  where  the  Useful  Arts  Have 
Thriven." 

Mr.  President  and  Gentlemen : 

"The  regret  you  all  must  have  felt  at  the  ab- 
sence of  one  whose  graceful  manner  and  pointed 
matter  have  illustrated  so  many  festive  occasions, 
will  culminate  when  I  tell  you  that  he  was  to  have 
replied  to  the  toast  just  given,  and  that  I,  with 
ideas  and  digestion  disordered  by  the  sudden  call 
made  upon  me,  must  rise  in  his  place,  to  impress 
you  with  how  much  you  have  lost. 

"And  surely  Arts  and  Sciences  will  flourish  in 
Baltimore;  truly  she  has  proved  good  and  quick 
soil  in  the  past.  When  the  'Clipper'  (the  fastest 
craft  of  her  time,  I  am  told,'  was  launched,  her 
masts  were  the  first  feeble  shoots  of  the  forest 
which  noAV  raises  in  our  harbor.  Latrobe's 
pioneer  work  in  engineering  broke  ground  for  the 
foundations  of  many  noble  structures  not  only  in 
Baltimore  but  throughout  the  land.  When  the 
venerable  and  honored  guest  at  the  head  of  the 
board  (Mr.  Peter  Cooper)  ran  the  first  train  from 
Baltimore  to  Ellicott  City,  the  seed  was  sown  for

the  great  road  whose  roots  bind  together  many 
States  in  mutual  benefit.  And  for  the  future, 
what  a  generous  harvest  we  may  look  for  when 
the  abundant  seed  is  sown  from  the  garners  of 
the  Johns  Hopkins  University,  the  Peabody  Insti- 
tute, aye,  and  the  Decorative  Art  Society,  the 
latter  under  the  direction  of  those  who  do,  and  of 
right,  ought  to  direct  us  in  our  efforts  towards 
the  true  and  the  beautiful.  Yes,  let  the  fair  city 
press  on  in  her  career,  mingling  the  useful  and 
the  elevating  until  she  is,  like  her  own  women, 
strong  and  graceful,  beautiful  and  beneficent." 


Note. — Dr.  Miles  who  was  professor  of  Physi- 
ology in  the  University  of  Maryland,  was  a  fluent 
and  eloquent  lecturer,  and  greatly  beloved  by  his 
colleagues  and  students.  He  was  renowned  es- 
pecially for  his  lectures  on  anatomy  of  the  brain ; 
his  knowledge  of  the  nervous  system  surpassing 
that  of  any  of  his  contemporaries,  and  were 
delivered  in  such  a  masterful  manner  as  to  attract 
the  profession  in  general  to  his  lecture  hall. 


Dr.  Francis  Turquand  Miles  was  born  on  a 
plantation  near  Charleston,  S.  C,  on  February 
11,  1827.  He  received  his  academic  training  and 
the  degree  of  Batchelor  of  Arts  at  the  Charleston 
College.  His  professional  training  and  medical 
degree  were  obtained  at  the  Medical  College  of 
the  State  of  South  Carolina,  in  the  same  city. 
Shortly  after  his  graduation  in  1849,  he  went 
abroad  and  studied  in  Paris  under  Charcot  and 
Hirschfeld.  Returning  to  Charleston,  he  became 
connected  with  the  teaching  faculty  of  his  Alma 
Mater,  filling  successively  the  role  of  Prosecutor, 
Assistant  Demonstrator,  Demonstrator,  Assistant 
Professor,  and,  in  1860,  full  Professor  of 
Physiological  Anatomy,  as  successor  to  Professor 
Holbrook.  On  the  outbreak  of  the  Cival  War, 
he  entered  the  service  of  the  Confederate  States 
as  an  infantry  private.  He  soon  rose  to  be  lieu- 
tenant and  later  captain.  For  a  time  he  had 
charge  of  Fort  Sumter  during  the  attack  upon  it 
by  the  Federal  fleet,  and  he  was  very  proud  of  this 
experience.  At  the  battle  of  Chancellorsville,  S. 
C,  in  1863,  he  was  shot  through  the  thigh,  and  in 
the  following  year  he  was  wounded  at  Fort  Sum- 
ter.    This    latter   wound   led   to   his    retirement 


from  active  service.  During  the  last  year  of  the 
war,  he  held  rank  as  full  Surgeon  in  the  Medical 
Department.  The  war  closing,  he  resumed  his 
chair  in  the  College.  In  1868  he  removed  to 
Baltimore,  and  was  immediately  appointed  Pro- 
fessor of  Anatomy  in  Washington  University 
School  of  Medicine.  In  1869  he  was  called  to 
the  University  of  Maryland  to  fill  the  chair  of 
Anatomy  and  Clinical  Diseases  of  the  Nervous 
System.  In  1880  he  was  transferred  to  the 
chair  of  Physiology.  Dr.  Miles'  health  began  to 
f<iil  during  the  session  of  1902-03.  He  attempted 
to  continue  his  lectures,  sitting  during  their  de- 
livery. But  early  in  1903  he  had  to  give  up 
entirely,  and  his  resignation  quickly  followed. 
After  several  months  of  confinement  and  suffer- 
ing, he  died  July  30,  1903. 

Dr.  Miles  was  twice  Vice-President  of  the 
Medical  and  Chirurgical  Faculty,  and  was  an 
honorary  member  of  the  American  Association  of 
i'hysicians,  and  for  two  terms  (1880-82)  he  was 
President  of  the  American  Neurological  Associa- 
tion. In  1889  he  was  made  a  consulting  physician 
of  the  Johns  Hopkins  Hospital. 

Professor  Miles  was  one  of  the  most  prominent 
figures  in  University  circles.  Endowed  with 
d  handsome  face  and  figure,  with  the  ease  and 
grace  of  manners  and  dignity  which  distinguished 
the  true  Southern  gentleman,  he  would  have  been 
a  marked  figure  anywhere.  He  had  a  good  voice 
and  ready  command  of  language,  never  using 
notes.  He  was  devoid  of  vanity,  pretense  and 
prejudice,  a  hater  of  shams,  and  modest  as  to 
his  own  achievements.  He  was  an  enthusiastic 
student,  being  master  of  French  and  German,  a 
close  reader  and  deep  thinker  and  presented  his 
thoughts  with  so  much  eloquence,  force  and 
clearness  as  to  captivate  all  who  heard  him. 


There  was  an  old  druggist 
Who  lived  in  our  town : 
His  trade  got  so  rotten 
He'd  almost  shut  down. 
So  he  purchased  an  iceless — 
A  Beauty,  they  say — 
Now  every  day  it's  "Sundae" 
Up  that  fellow's  way.

EDITORIALLY  EXPRESSED. 


It  is  difficult  to  understand  how  young  men 
can  so  forget  themselves  and  take  chances  on  fail- 
ing their  course  at  the  end  of  their  school  life 
by  attempting  to  pass  examinations  by  unfair 
means.  Students  should  and  do  understand  the 
consequences  of  such  action  and  when  they  are 
detected  and  summarily  dismissed  from  school 
they  should  have  no  complaint  at  the  visitation 
of  sin  on  their  own  heads. 


We  trust  that  the  plans  for  the  banquet  to 
the  University  graduates  of  this  year  will  de- 
velop into  real  action.  Doctor  Fell  thinks  so 
well  of  the  plan  that  he  has  written  a  letter  of 
commendation  and  asks  "why  not  admit  the  fifth 
department  (St.  John's)'  of  the  University?" 
There  is  no  advertisement  so  beneficial  to  any  in- 
stitution as  an  appreciative  alumni  body.  A  ban- 
quet in  honor  of  the  graduates  would  be  a  fitting- 
close  to  the  school  course  and  would  tend  to  es- 
tablish a  lasting  feeling  of  good  will  toward  our 
Alma  Mater. 


The  College  Man    Sets

Uphold  your  reputation  by  wearing

This  month  sees  the  closing  examinations  for 
all  departments  and  for  some  the  State  boards 
will  be  met.  We  trust  our  students  have  so  ap- 
plied themselves  that  they  will  pass  all  tests  suc- 
cessfully. If  any  have  failed  to  apply  themselves 
the  inevitable  and  just  rewards  will  be  served. 
Let  the  undergraduate  men  observe  and  thought- 
fully consider  lest  they  also  may,  through  neg- 
lect, reap  a  harvest  of  barren  regrets. 


Again  our  country  is  face  to  face  with  the 
ghastly  possibility  of  war,  and  again  our  profec- 
sional  politicians  are  busily  engaged  in  an  at- 
tempt to  confuse  the  issue  and  create  a  condition 
of  unrest  in  the  public  mind  and  a  feeling  of  dis- 
trust for  the  present  administration.  The  man 
who  attributes  to  himself  the  virtue  of  patriotic 
citizenship  and  who  will  by  misrepresentation  and 
jingoist  methods  attempt  to  make  market  out 
of  human  emotions  and  happiness  for  political  ad- 
vantage, be  he  a  former  President,  former  cabi- 
net officer,  minority  leader  of  the  House  of  Rep- 
resentatives, minority  member  of  Foreign  Rela- 
tions Committee  or  what  not,  is  a  blight  on  our 
citizenship,  a  menace  to  his  party,  a  traitor  to  his 
country  and  deserves  to  be  remembered  with 
Judas  Iscariot  and  Benedict  Arnold.  Let  us 
stand  by  the  people,  by  the  high  principles  of 
liberty  and  justice  our  Government  was  intended 
to  serve  and  by  our  big,  strong,  great,  manly 
President  who  dares  to  do  right.

Was  there  ever  a  class  in  all  school  history  in 
which  there  has  been  no  discontent?  And  what 
did  it  amount  to  ?  Was  there  ever  a  student  who 
appreciated  all  his  professors  and  sanctioned  all 
their  teachings?  From  our  brief  experience  we 
think  not.  While  no  one  in  the  Senior  Class  has 
any  ill  feeling  against  any  professor  in  any  way, 
shape  or  form,  we  do  not  wholly  agree  with  them 
in  all  their  opinions.  However,  those  differences 
of  opinion  are  varied  and  of  minor  importance, 
and  the  close  friendship  and  companionship  exist- 
ing between  student  and  professor  is  no  where 
more  marked  than  in  the  University  of  Maryland. 

Go  into  any  laboratory  or  classroom  and  there 
you  will  find  student  and  professor  almost  as 
companionable  as  classmates.  This  does  not  sig- 
nify that  the  respect  for  the  professor  is  gone,  as 
it  is  far  from  that.  In  no  department  is  respect 
and  esteem  for  the  professor  observed  any  more 
than  in  the  Pharmacy  Department.  That  feeling 
which  cannot  be  expressed  in  words,  painted  on 
canvas  nor  set  to  music  exists.  More  like  the  rev- 
erence for  a  father  and  love  for  a  brother. 

Before  our  coming  here  we  thought  of  no  such 
existing  feeling.  All  we  could  imagine  were  cold 
cheerless  walls  and  a  professor  with  heart  of 
stone. 

Did  we  find  it  ?  No !  Just  the  reverse.  We 
found  our  professors  human,  kind  and  willing 
to  go  out  of  their  way  to  aid  us  in  whatever  we 
needed  their  assistance  and  counsel.  Instead  of 
a  prison  feeling  which  we  brought  we  are  carry- 
ing away  the  greatest  love  and  highest  esteem 
that  can  exist  between  man  and  man. 

If  those  who  are  contemplating  entering  the 
U.  of  M.  could  have  seen  before  they  came  what 
is  here  there  would  be  no  dread  of  facing  the  dean 
and  his  staff  of  professors. 

As  to  the  students,  we  are  a  big  family  of  boys ; 
when  time  and  place  affords,  we  are  ready  for  a 
romp  and  song,  filling  the  air  with  mirth  and 
pleasure.  We  will  admit  that  many  jokes  and 
remarks  would  sound  very  commonplace  to  those 
outside  the  big  family,  but  to  us  it  has  a  mean-

ing — taken  as  a  joke.  The  law  of  compensation 
operates  and  soon  it  will  be  repaid  with  big  in- 
terest. 

It  is  no  pleasant  thought  to  meditate  going 
out  into  our  profession  knowing  that  we  will  all 
never  be  together  again.  Some  no  doubt  will  go 
into  remote  fields  along  with  their  profession; 
others  will  surrender  their  ambition  to  engage  in 
a  different  business,  while  others  may  not  be  able 
to  withstand  the  temptations,  pit  falls  and  dark 
places  and  fall  to  a  position  of  unworthiness  and 
uselessness.  May  we  hope  and  trust  that  the 
latter  may  never  occur,  and  all  may  become  men 
of   great   service  to  community  and  profession. 

Because  of  this  when  we  think  of  our  com- 
mencement a  feeling  of  sadness  comes  into  our 
thoughts  and  creates  a  desire  to  remain.  May  we 
all  complete  our  course  with  credit  and  go  out 
into  the  world  determined  to  reach  the  highest 
plane  of  professional  achievement  and  at  some 
future  day  the  classes  of  '16  return  to  Balti- 
more to  renew  old  friends  and  acquaintances 
and  be  boys  again  just  for  a  night.

MARYLAND  PHARMACEUTICAL  EXAM. 


Perhaps  no  event  within  the  last  year  has 
created  so  much  discussion  and  preparation  as 
has  the  examination  on  the  6th  and  7fh  of 
April,  held  by  the  Maryland  State  Board  of 
Pharmacy.  The  Department  of  Pharmacy  of 
U.  of  M.  was  well  represented  by  both  classes; 
about  one-half  of  the  Senior  Class  participating 
in  the  exam,  for  pharmacists. 

For  several  weeks  prior  to  this  exam,  those 
contemplating  taking  it  could  be  found  studiously 
reviewing  all  the  work  from  the  beginning  of  the 
course  in  pharmacy  up  to  the  very  end.

One  thing  was  particularly  noticeable,  that  the 
men  taking  part  in  this  exam.,  those  of  college 
training  especially,  were  of  a  confident  nature 
while  those  not  enjoying  the  privilege  of  college 
..^i.i.ai^  _vU..d  not  help  but  exhibit  a  certain 
aiuouiii  of  nervousness. 

The  exam,  in  its  entirety  was  wholly  different 
from  anything  expected  by  the  participants;  it 
was  fairly  difficult,  not  in  the  questions  them- 
selves, but  in  the  uncertain  and  puzzling  manner 
in  which  they  were  asked  and  in  the  amount  of 
writing  necessary  to  answer  any  single  question. 
The  greater  majority  of  the  questions  were  fair, 
but  there  were  many  that  were  merely  a  case  of 
memory.  These  types  of  questions  are  without 
doubt  subject  to  much  criticism  and  certainly  just- 
ly so  because  they  do  not  tend  to  show  up  a 
man's  thinking  ability  or  power  of  deduction  by 
reasoning,  but  really  appear  to  want  to  know  if 
a  man  is  a  human  pharmacopoeia  or  some  text- 
book on  pharmacy. 

The  object  of  any  education  is  not  to  make 
simply  a  book  worm  or  a  walking  encyclopedia 
of  a  man,  but  rather  to  train  him  where  to  get 
and  how  to  utilize  his  knowledge  to  the  best  ad- 
vantage coupled  with  a  certain  amount  of  facts 
to  be  retained  for  that  particular  profession  in 
which  he  is  engaged.  Education  is  supposed  to 
comprehend  any  series  of  instruction  and  discip- 
line which  is  intended  to  enlighten  the  under- 
standing and  fit  us  for  our  usefulness  in  our  va- 
rious chosen  professions.    A  man  is  said  to  be  in-

telligent  when  he  has  the  power  of  understanding 
and  reasoning  for  himself. 

Memory  is,  no  doubt,  a  valuable  asset,  but 
memory  without  the  power  of  thought  or  reason- 
-    .\  uriii  :  ut  -ittie  to  us. 

We  cannot  help  but  say  that  many  of  the  ques- 
tions asked  could  not  be  even  answered  offhand 
by  the  examiners  themselves,  and  so  why  expect 
a  man  not  having  one-tenth  of  the  experience  to 
answer  them?  The  unfairness  of  it  is  certainly 
apparent. 

There  has  been  some  discussion  that  a  man 
should  be  a  graduate  of  pharmacy  in  order  to  be 
permitted  to  stand  the  exam.,  yet  the  examina- 
tions now  are  of  such  a  character  that  unless  such 
is  the  condition  he  has  small  chance  of  succeeding. 

We  do  not  doubt  that  all  our  men  have  suc- 
ceeded in  passing  and  certainly  await  anxiously 
the  returns  with  that  idea  in  view  and  fully  trust 
and  hope  that  none  will  be  disappointed.

tions published  by  Hepbron  and  Haydon. 


We  wonder  if  many  of  the  men  were  as  for- 
tunate as  Walter  V.  Harrison,  Esq.,  who  claims 
that  his  practical  personal  experience  of  banking 
made  it  unnecessary  for  him  to  attend  any  of  the

Albin  Widoff,  '17. 


To  a  cynical  observer  the  recent  class  meeting, 
wherein  A.  B.  Makover  was  elected  editor-in- 
chief  of  the  Terra  Mariae,  would  be  a  first  rate 
mirth  provoker  were  it  not  for  the  fact  that  there 
were  at  least  three  redeeming  features  in  it. 

The  first  one  is  self-evident.  It  is  the  wise 
selection  of  a  real  editor-in-chief,  A.  B.  Makover. 
Not  only  does  Makover  deserve  it  but  he  is 
doubly  vindicated.  Vindicated  for  the  shame- 
less treatment  that  he  received  last  year  by  the 
stupid  voting  of  the  class.  And  again  unwitting- 
ly recompensed  for  his  "squeeze-out"  on  the 
Gazette.  This  squeese-out  occurred  while  the 
class  looked  on  with  its  inherent  listlessness. 

The  second  redeeming  feature  is  the  peculiar 
fact,  voted  on  by  many,  that  there  are  no  cliques 
or  factions  in  the  class.  And  if  there  are,  they 
are  merely  fractured  factions  or  chickless  cliques. 
Alas !  there  are  no  factions  but  the  one  that  votes 
"yes,"  and  the  one  that  votes  "no." 

The  third  redemption  is,  as  yet,  an  inchoate 
redemption.  It  is  this  I  mean !  Now,  after  the 
class  have  selected  their  editor-in-chief  will 
there  be  a  supine  compromise  with  the  other 
colleges  represented  in  the  Terra  Mariae.  Here 
is  a  chance  to  reward  Makover  for  the  un- 
fraternal  treatment  meted  out  to  him  in  the  past. 
The  reward  must  be  the  firm  resolve  to  have 
him  editor-in-chief,  if  not  of  the  Terra  Mariae, 
then  of  our  own  publication. 

Makover  as  editor  or  bust,  that's  all! 


Mr.  Edgar"  T.  Fell,  whose  article  on  "The 
Henry  Ford  Peace  Expedition"  appeared  in  last 
month's  issue  of  the  Gazette,  was  one  of  forty 
students  representing  as  many  leading  American 
Colleges  and  Universities,  who  were  members 
of  the  Ford  Peace  Party. 


Suppposing  that  this  shall  be  my  last  contri- 
bution to  the  Gazette  as  Senior  Editor,  I  take 
my  pen  in  hand  to  wish  all  my  classmates  the 
best  of  success  in  the  coming  exams.  And  here's 
hoping  that  there  will  be  no  regrets  given  out 
on  Announcement  Day. 

The  time  is  growing  shorter  and  soon  we 
shall  bid  each  other  Good  Bye  never  to  meet 
again.

PHARMACY— GRADUATE. 


The  Baltimore  branch  of  the  American  Phar- 
maceutical Association  held  a  meeting  February 
16th. 

Mr.  James  A.  Black  informed  the  meeting  that 
a  sister  of  Dr.  Hynson  had  died  and  the  question 
arose  as  to  the  advisability  of  adjourning  the 
meeting  out  of  respect  to  Dr.  Hynson.  After 
some  discussion  it  was  thought  best,  in  view  of 
Dr.  Hynson's  broadmindedness,  to  continue  the 
meeting. 

A  resolution  offered  by  Mr.  Black  was  then 
passed  directing  the  secretary  to  write  Dr.  Hyn- 
son a  letter  of  sympathy. 

Two  resignations  from  chairmanship  of  com- 
mittee were  considered  and  were  held  over  until 
the  next  meeting,  one  member  consenting  to  hold 
his  until  then  and  the  other  waiting  on  a  report 
from  Dr.  Hynson,  who  was  endeavoring  to  get 
the  consent  of  another  member  to  fill  the  place. 

A  bill  presented  to  the  Legislature  prohibiting 
doctors  from  dispensing  excepting  in  cases  of 
great  emergency  and  hedging  them  about  with 
onerous  and  humiliating  restrictions,  was  dis- 
cussed, and  the  secretary  was  instructed  to  write 
the  committee  on  hygiene,  to  which  the  bill  had 
been  referred,  voicing  the  branch's  disapproval  of 
the  bill,  an  action  which  the  Retail  Druggists'  As- 
sociation had  already  taken  on  the  preceding  Mon- 
day. 


The  sixty-fourth  annual  meeting  of  the  Amer- 
ican Pharmaceutical  Association  will  be  held  at 
Atlantic  City,  N.  J.,  from  September  5  to  9,  1916. 

The  first  council  session  will  be  held  on  Mon- 
day, September  4  (Labor  Day),  at  7.30  P.  M., 
the  first  general  session  on  Tuesday,  September 
5,  at  11  A.  M.,  and  the  final  general  session  on

After  adjournment  the  members  of  these 
bodies  will  go  to  Atlantic  City  to  attend  the  ses- 
sions of  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Associa- 
tion the  following  week. 


The  Baltimore  Retail  Druggists'  Association 
held  its  annual  dinner  on  the  evening  of  March 
13  at  the  Emerson  Hotel,  when  about  100  mem- 
bers of  the  organization  occupied  seats  around  the 
festal  board. 

President  R.  E.  Lee  Williamson,  manager  of 
the  Calvert  Drug  Co.,  occupied  the  place  of  honor 
and  received  in  the  course  of  the  evening.  There 
were  no  set  speeches,  but  a  number  of  diners 
made  addresses,  which  dealt  with  pharmaceutical 
matters,  such  as  increasing  sales,  the  prescrip- 
tion business,  co-operation,  the  value  of  a  strong 
and  well-attended  organization  and  the  benefits  of 
meeting  for  interchange  of  ideas  were  empha- 
sized. Melville  Strasburger,  F.  A.  Hancock, 
Leroy  Oldham,  H.  P.  Hynson  and  Samuel  Y. 
Harris  spoke.

The  other  morning  when  Lloyd  awoke  his  eye- 
brow had  fallen  to  his  upper  lip.  We  are  anxious 
that  Lloyd  remove  it,  but  he  refused  and  said  "I 
always  wanted  a  mustache." 


Dr.  Base  is  wondering  why  Jones'  breakage 
bill  is  so  much.  If  he  will  go  up  and  look  in  his 
room  he  will  never  ask  that  question  again. 


In  the  latest  account  from  Dr.  Kelly's  lab. 
breakage  it  seems  as  though  Wolfe  tried  to  break 
up  housekeeping.  Possibly  he  tried  Jones'  plan. 
How  about  it,  Wolfe? 


Sullivan  says  he  is  anxious  for  school  to  close 
as  he  is  very  desirous  to  return  to  the  sunny 
south.  His  whole  thoughts  are  toward  Raleigh, 
N.  C.    We  wonder  why? 


Lee's  old  story  of  always  being  broke  has 
proven  a  fallacy.  The  other  morning  he  came  in 
class  with  a  big  plug  of  "Star  tobacco." 


We  all  are  much  concerned  why  Roy  Schlosser 
goes  home  every  Friday.  (There's  a  reason. 
Watch  the  June  papers.)  The  class  extends  con- 
gratulations. 


Sullivan,  sitting  in  a  dreamy  state  of  mind  was 
heard  to  murmur,   "I   love  you,   I  love  you." 
What's  the  cause,  "Plugger." 


Jones  says  he  would  rather  have  $15  worth  of 
beer  than  his  State  Board  papers.  Go  to  it,  Jones, 
you  will  get  full  some  day. 


Eise  says  he  never  takes  anything  that  is  fast 
or  too  heavy  to  carry. 


Hitz  says  he  likes  to  play  with  suppositories 
and  soluble  elastic  capsules.  From  the  way  he 
bombards  the  other  members  of  the  class  we 
think  it  quite  evident. 


Shad  Lowe  says  he  doesn't  mind  being  bald, 
but  he  hates  it  to  be  mistaken  so  often  for  a 
target.     Hetz,  beware. 


We  have  seen  and  heard  of  mean  things,  but  Rosenburg  says  he's  a  sticker.  We  don't  know 
the  meanest  act  possible  is  to  steal  a  fellow's  what  he  means.  However,  we  know  he  was 
burner,  hose  and  gas.     Skie  says  it's  hell.  chairman  of  the  pin  committee.

Josephine,  you  say,  an  enticing  name,  but  ap-

get  that  name,  anyhow.  But  it  won't  stick ;  we 
hear  that  you  are  called  "Coldie"  now. 


The  question  now  before  us  is  where  Briggs, 
Lee  and  Jones  got  their  loud  shirts  and  how  they 
have  nerve  enough  to  wear  them.  Boys,  are  you

During  the  closing  days  of  the  State  Legisla- 
ture two  bills  were  passed  which  will  have  a  vital 
bearing  upon  the  affairs  of  St.  John's  College. 
The  first  bill  provides  for  an  appropriation  of 
$35,000  for  each  of  the  next  two  years.  The 
second  bill  provides  for  commissioning  the  Fac- 
ulty as  officers  in  the  Maryland  National  Guard 
upon  the  request  of  the  Board  of  Visitors,  authoi- 
ized  by  the  Governor.  By  this  bill  the  President 
of  the  College  would  become  a  colonel,  those 
members  of  the  Faculty  who  have  held  their 
chairs  for  10  years  would  become  majors  aiv' 
less  than  10  years,  captains.  They  would  re- 
ceive the  pay  due  their  rank  when  on  duty.

Owing  to  the  fact  that  the  hop  of  the  Cotillion 
Club,  scheduled  to  take  place  on  Aprili  28th,  con- 
flicted with  the  Inter-Collegiate  Oratorical  Con- 
test, the  entire  schedule  for  the  May  hops  has  been 
changed,  and  is  now  as  follows :  May  5  and  19. 
There  will  also  be  a  hop  on  June  2. 


On  April  6  Professor  Washburn,  of  the  U.  S. 
Naval  Academy,  gave  a  most  interesting  lecture 
in  McDowell  Hall  on  the  United  States  Navy 
League.  He  was  introduced  by  Dr.  Fell,  who 
gave  a  brief  outline  of  the  work  of  the  league 
and  told  all  who  wished  to  join  to  see  him  after 
the  lecture.  Professor  Washburn  showed  slides 
of  many  famous  battle  flags  captured  by  the 
United  States  in  the  War  of  1813  and  the  Span- 
ish-American War. 


In  response  to  an  appeal  made  by  Cadet  J.  C. 
Fell  to  the  alumni  for  some  assistance  toward

$90.00  has  been  collected.  The  ground  for  the

Miss  Jane  Delano,  chairman  of  the  National

for  Service  in  War."  Motion  pictures,  portray- 
ing "The  Activities  of  the  Red  Cross  Town  and 
Country  Nursing  work,"  were  shown.  These  were 
very  interesting. 

Refreshments  were  served  and  a  social  hour 
spent. 


Miss  Elva  Dean,  class  of  1913,  who  has  been

QUIPS. 

Some  people,  like  teeth,  are  capable  of  giving 
one  an  excruciating  pain. 

Don't  get  excited.  If  you  must  knock,  or 
pound,  do  it  all  on  the  gold  filling. 

Keep  your  eyes  open.  No  sign  'cause  an  ounce 
of  prevention  is  worth  a  pound  of  cure  that  an 
ounce  of  alloy  is  worth  a  pound  of  gold. 


There  are  two  brands  of  pulling.  One  is  pull- 
ing teeth,  the  other  is  pulling  the  one  to  whom 
the  teeth  belong.  To  do  a  clean  job  an  anesthetic 
is  indicated  in  both  cases. 


A  patient  is  "hooman"  and  blood  is  blood — 
even  blue  blood  which  is  often  no  thicker  than 
water.

ADDRESS  DELIVERED  AT  THE  GRADU- 
ATION EXERCISES  OF  UXR'ERSITY 
HOSPITAL  TRAINING  SCHOOL  FOR 
NURSES,  MAY  18,  19in. 


Bv  Arthur  M.  Shipley,  M.  D. 


Young  Ladies  of  the  Graduating  Class  and  of  the 
Training  School,  Miss  Superintendent,  Mr. 
President,  Ladies  and  Gentlemen  : 

It  is  mv  duty  and  pleasure  to  congratulate  the 
members  of  the  Graduating  Class  at  this  time,  and 
I  do  so  with  great  heartiness  because  it  is  an  oc- 
casion toward  which  you  have  been  working  and 
yearning  for  three  years,  and  while  three  }ears 
is  not  a  long  time  judged  by  some  standards,  it 
is  both  long  and  most  valuable  time  when  com- 
pared with  the  span  of  human  life — three  years. 
What  things  may  happen  in  three  years?  How 
much  learned  and  forgotten,  how  many  ideas 
shattered,  what  new  visions  opened  to  view,  how 
many  of  life's  problems  may  be  solved,  how  many 
abandoned  as  hopeless  of  solution,  what  growth 
in  knowledge  and  in  character  and  in  deeds,  may 
not  be  attained  in  three  years :  what  friendships 
formed,  what  habits,  gootl  and  bad,  mended  or 
broken  :  how  many  hearts  lightened  by  the  vision 
of  a  sunny  smile  and  a  spirit  full  of  hope,  how 
many  hours  spent  in  fruitless  yearning  for  the 
unattainable,  what  visions  of  happiness  may  not  be 
seen,  what  dark  hours  of  bitter  disappointment 
suffered — three  years :  and  often  when  weariness 
and  disillusionment  hung  heavy  over  your  spirits, 
three  long  years — now  happily  drawing  to  their 
end. 

And  yet  I  venture  this  prophecy,  strange  as  it 
may  seem  to  you,  that  when  you  shall  have  come  to 
the  evening  time  of  life  and  shall  look  back  over 
the  years,  there  will  be  no  period  in  your  lives, 
however  happily  and  usefully  spent,  toward 
which  you  will  look  with  greater  satisfaction  and 
pleasure,  than  the  years  spent  in  training.  Why? 
you  ask.     For  a  number  of  reasons. 


You  have  had  youth  with  you  during  these 
three  years.  Youth  that  hopes  all  things,  be- 
lieves all  things,  and  is  not  afraid.  Youth,  of  all 
things  physical,  the  most  beautiful  and  the  most 
desired. 

Then  also  you  are  passing  through  that  period 
of  life  when  friendships  are  most  easily  formed. 
"There  is  a  'dumb  devil'  that  sits  upon  our  fancy 
and  our  thoughts."  We  feel  so  many  things  that 
we  cannot  say  and  hope  so  many  things  that  we 
cannot  do.  Much  of  this  belongs  in  that  beautiful 
childish  realm  of  the  "make  believe."  As  the 
years  go  by  we  relincjuish  one  thing  after  another, 
ideals  and  beliefs  and  ambitions,  and  a  kind  of 
dull  despair  enters  into  our  hearts  and  robs  us  of 
our  peace  of  mind.  Not  quite  —  there  is  a  God- 
given  balm  for  most  of  these  ills,  and  that  is 
Friendship.  Friends  atone  to  us  for  our  lost 
youth,  our  large  hopes,  our  broken  idols  and  add 
a  glow  to  the  autumn  of  our  lives  that  makes  us 
forget  in  part  the  freshness  and  the  beauty  and 
the  glory  of  the  spring. 

Then  again  during  these  creative  years,  when 
you  are  building  your  character  and  your  place 
in  the  world,  your  minds  are  still  resilient  enough 
to  give  a  lodging  to  sentiment. 

In  his  volume  entitled  "Great  Women,"  John 
Lord  has  this  to  sa\-  of  sentiment:  "When  Adam 
and  Eve  were  expelled  from  Paradise  they  found 
one  flower  wherever  they  wandered  blooming  in 
perpetual  beauty.  This  flower  represents  a  great 
certitude  without  which  few  would  be  happy, 
subtle,  mysterious,  ine.xplicable,  a  great  boon  rec- 
ognized alike  by  poets  and  moralists.  Pagan  and 
Christian :  >-ea.  identified  not  only  with  happiness 
but  with  human  existence  and  pertaining  to  the 
soul  in  its  highest  aspirations.  Allied  "with  the 
transient  and  the  mortal,  even  with  the  weak  and 
the  corrupt,  it  is  yet  inuiiortal  in  its  nature  and 
lofty  in  its  aims,  at  once  a  passion,  a  sentiment, 
and  an  inspiration." 

Near  the  end  of  his  strength  .\belard  came  in 
his  wanderings  to  Clunv,  was  given  shelter  there

by  the  Abbott,  and  after  a  short  period  of  rest 
and  meditation,  died  within  the  peaceful  walls 
of  the  monastery.  Under  the  instinct  of  a  senti- 
ment as  sacred  as  religion  itself,  Peter,  the  vener- 
able Abbot  at  Cluny,  felt  that  Abelard  above  and 
Heloise  on  earth  demanded  the  last  consolation 
of  a  reunion  in  the  grave,  so  quietly  in  the  dead 
of  night,  dreading  scandal,  yet  true  to  his  im- 
pulses, without  a  hand  to  assist  or  an  eye  to 
witness,  he  exhumed  the  coffin  which  had  been 
buried  in  the  Abbey  Cemetery  and  conveyed  it 
himself  to  the  Paraclete  and  intrusted  it  to  He- 
loise. She  survived  him  twenty  years,  was  buried 
in  the  same  leaden  coffin,  which  remained  for  500 
years  in  the  abbey.  The  coffin  was  then  con- 
veyed to  Paris  and  buried  in  the  cemetery  of  Pere 
la  Chaise  over  which  the  French  in  a  spirit  of  re- 
membrance and  understanding  have  erected  a 
monument,  and  here  almost  daily  flowers  are  still 
brought  as  silent  ofiferings.  So  great  and  lasting 
is  the  spirit  of  sentiment. 

And  you  have  found  your  life  work.  In  this 
way  you  have  solved  a  most  important  problem, 
and  have  entered  fairly  upon  your  task.  In  these 
years  just  ending,  one  of  the  best  things  about 
them  has  been  that  you  have  been  always  busy. 
Your  time  has  been  taken  up  with  tasks  that  have 
occupied  most  of  your  thought  and  effort,  and 
this  is  a  great  source  of  peace  of  mind.  In  these 
days  of  your  youth  there  still  cling  to  you  some  of 
the  beliefs  of  childhood.  As  we  grow  away  from 
plaits  and  pinafores  we  loose  one  after  another  the 
illusions  of  those  happy  days:  fairies,  goblins, 
giants,  buried  treasure,  and  all  the  rest.  Fortu- 
nately, one  of  the  last  of  these  to  go  are  the 
dreams  of  childhood.  Some  of  us  are  able  to 
project  into  our  later  years  this  most  happy  child- 
ish trait.  You  remember  the  dainty  verse  of  An- 
drew Lang  about  dreams : 

In  dreams  she  grows  not  older 
The  land  of  dreams  among, 

Though  all  the  world  wax  colder, 
Though  all  the  songs  be  sung, 

In  dreams  does  he  behold  her 
Still  fair  and  kind  and  young. 

And  then  there  is  that  beautiful  lullaby  of  baby 
days : 


At  eventide  when  the  sky  is  red 

And  the  sun  sinks  down  in  the  sea. 
And  the  bodies  of  children  are  in  their  beds 

And  their  little  souls  are  free, 
In  twos  and  threes  the}'  come  trooping  down 

Like  flocks  of  shepherdless  sheep 
Out  of  the  portals  of  wake-o'-day  town 

To  the  twilight  valley  of  sleep, 
And  once  past  the  gate  where  the  goblins  wait 

And  the  witch  fires  of  fancy  gleam 
The  Angel  of  Silence  opens  wide  the  gate 

To  the  Land  of  Beautiful  Dream. 

And  now  we  might  justly  ask :  "What  gifts  of 
heart  and  mind  ought  a  nurse  to  bring  to  the 
service  of  her  hospital  and  her  calling?" 

She  should  bring  a  spirit  of  reverence ;  rever- 
ence for  her  sex,  for  her  profession,  for  her  work, 
appreciation  of  the  opportunities  of  life,  that  may 
pass  her  way  but  once.  Reverence  for  her  elders 
and  for  those  who  are  her  teachers,  reverence  for 
little  children,  and  for  all  that  is  beautiful  and 
good  in  the  world. 

"She  should  be  resolute  to  say  the  right  thing, 
and  always  to  do  the  right  thing,"  remembering 
the  saying  of  the  wise  old  philosopher  of  the 
Golden  Age  of  Pericles.  "The  difficulty,  my 
friends,  is  not  in  avoiding  death,  but  in  avoiding 
unrighteousness,  for  that  runs  faster  than  death," 
and  the  same  voice  rings  clear  and  vibrant  down 
the  stretch  of  twenty-three  centuries.  "Where- 
fore I  say,  let  a  man  be  of  good  cheer  about  his 
soul,  who  has  adorned  t'..e  soul  in  her  own  proper 
jewels,  which  are  temperance  and  justice  and 
courage,  and  nobility  and  truth  ;  in  these  arrayed 
she  is  ready  to  go  on  her  journey  to  the  other 
world  when  her  time  comes.  These  things  have 
to  do  with  character,  and  let  us  consider  it  briefly. 
Not  that  the  subject  merits  briefness ;  it  is  big 
enough  to  fill  the  world.  Emerson,  in  his  essay  oi\ 
character  says  that  he  has  read  somewhere  that 
those  who  listened  to  Lord  Chatham,  felt  that 
there  was  something  finer  in  the  man  than  in  any- 
thing he  said,  that  it  had  been  complained  of  the 
'brilliant  Carlyle  that  when  he  had  told  all  the  facts 
about  Mirabeau,  they  did  not  justify  his  estimate 
of  his  genius. 

This  indefinable  thing  that  is  incapable  of  dem- 
onstration is  character,  and  it  is  the  foundation  on

which  all  effort  and  all  achievement  must  be  built, 
good  or  bad,  and  life's  work  will  stand  or  fall  in 
the  last  analysis,  because  of  tlie  character  that 
underlies  it.  "And  the  rain  descended  and  the 
floods  came,  and  the  winds  blew  and  beat  upon  that 
house,  and  it  fell ;  and  great  was  the  fall  of  it,  be- 
cause it  was  built  upon  the  sand.'" 

The  history  of  our  country  affords  a  very  strik- 
ing example  of  the  fundamental  power  of  char- 
acter. Washington  in  dash  was  no  match  for 
Arnold,  and  suffers  by  comparison  with  Greene  in 
military  tactics.  He  was  in  creative  genius,  far 
outshone  by  Hamilton.  As  a  diplomat  he  could 
not  match  the  elder  Adams  or  Franklin,  and  as  an 
organizer  and  leader  of  men,  was  unequal  to  Jef- 
ferson. A  careful  study  of  his  campaigns  fails  to 
justify  his  fame  as  a  soldier  of  the  first  rank,  and 
a  critical  perusal  of  his  state  papers  does  not  en- 
tirely establish  his  right  to  rank  with  the  world's 
greatest  statesmen.  Yet,  in  spite  of  all  this,  Wash- 
ington is  justly  called  the  father  of  his  country, 
and  all  things  considered,  still  stands  after  more 
than  a  century,  as  the  greatest  man  that  this  conti- 
nent has  produced.  In  matchless  purity  and 
strength  of  character  he  was  without  a  peer. 

Much  the  same  may  be  said  of  Jefferson.  As  a 
lawyer  he  was  surpassed  by  Burr  and  Marshall. 
He  was  not  an  orator  at  all.  His  greatest  ability 
was  as  a  writer,  and  yet  he  was  inferior  to  Hamil- 
ton. As  a  diplomat,  Franklin  and  Jay  were  his 
superiors,  and  yet  his  fame  is  greater  than  the 
combined  fame  of  all  of  these,  and  rightly  so. 
Jefferson  died  July  4,  1826,  just  fifty  years  after 
the  signing  of  that  famous  declaration  of  Inde- 
pendence of  which  he  was  the  author.  Among  his 
papers  was  found  the  inscription,  which  he  wished 
placed  on  his  tomb,  "Here  was  buried  Thomas 
Jefferson,  author  of  the  Declaration  of  American 
Independence,  of  the  statute  of  \'irginia  for  re- 
ligious freedom,  and  Father  of  the  University  of 
Virginia,"  not  a  word  about  his  honors  or  his 
offices ;  he  who  had  been  Governor  of  Virginia. 
Secretary  of  State,  maker  of  presidents,  and  twice 
President  of  the  United  States. 

Charles  Dickens,  in  his  will,  enjoined  his  friends 
to  erect  no  monument  to  his  memory,  and  to  in- 
scribe only  his  dates  upon  his  tomb,  adding  the 
proud  provision:  'T  trust  my  claim  to  the  re- 
membrance of  mv  country  on  mv  works,"  thus 


fulfilling  again  the  age-old  truth:  "By  their 
fruits,  ye  shall  know  them." 

There  are  other  traits  than  these  that  the  nurse 
should  bring  to  her  calling.  Courage,  steadfast- 
ness, and  simplicity,  honesty,  and  a  liking  for 
work.  You  should  make  everjf  effort  to  attune 
your  thought  and  conduct  to  the  times  and  cir- 
cumstances in  which  you  live.  The  ability  to  do 
this  is  one  of  the  chief  factors  in  success.  The 
processes  of  thought  are  no  better  than  they  were 
during  the  height  of  the  Grecian  civilization,  more 
than  two  thousand  }'ears  ago,  but  the  manner  of 
doing  things  has  been  completely  changed.  This 
is  an  age  of  efficiency,  and  efficiency  is  composed 
of  two  things — ability  and  training. 

There  is  no  better  way  of  illustrating  the  re- 
semblance and  difference  between  our  modern 
daj'  and  these  old  civilizations  than  to  compare 
Socrates  and  Aristotle.  Socrates  typifies  to  us 
the  best  type  of  the  thinking  man,  the  true  philoso- 
pher, and  the  ruling  maxim  of  his  life  was:  "As 
a  man  thinketh  in  his  heart,  so  he  is ;"  or  to  put  it 
dift'erently,  "there  is  no  good  or  evil  in  the  world, 
but  thinking  makes  it  so,"  but  Aristotle  with  a 
prophetic  vision  looked  far  down  the  centuries 
ahead  of  his  time,  and  laid  the  foundation  of 
science,  the  chief  stone  of  which  is  knowledge,  not 
thought,  and  the  ruling  maxim  of  his  life  was : 
"It  is  better  to  know  than  to  think." 

You  should  strive  to  bring  to  your  calling  a 
healthy  body.  There  is  but  one  temple  in  the 
universe  says  the  devout  Novalis  and  that  is  the 
body  of  Man.  It  is  the  highest  point  of  perfection 
reached  by  the  greatest  of  all  Artisans,  Nature, 
herself,  and  if  you  are  to  work  out  your  destiny 
to  its  ultimate  greatest  usefulness,  you  will  need 
a  good  workshop  in  which  to  perform  the  task. 
Good  work  has  been  done  and  will  be  done  by 
courageous  spirits  housed  in  frail  bodies,  but 
health  and  strength  are  cheerful  companions  on 
the  highway  of  life. 

Now  that  you  have  settled  the  momentous  ques- 
tion of  choice  of  vocation,  and  have  come  this  far 
along  your  chosen  path,  what  may  you  confidently 
expect  to  accomplish?  As  of  old,  we  still  hope 
for  the  good  faries,  who  will  bring  all  our  wishes 
true.  What  are  vour  Iiopes  and  expectations  to- 
night? Mankind  desires  many  things,  his  needs 
are  much  less  numerous,  but  of  all  the  legimitate

quests  of  the  human  heart,  success  and  happiness 
are  the  most  desired.  Alany  other  things  may  be 
added ;  length  of  Hfe,  wealth,  strength,  power, 
friendship. 

Let  us  look  at  success  a  little  more  closely.  It  is 
made  up  of  many  things.  It  is  strangely  willful  in 
its  moods.  It  often  eludes  the  most  earnest  search 
and  sometimes  appears  when  least  expected  and 
least  deserved.  It  is  above  all  things  fickle  and  in- 
constant, nor  is  it  bound  by  any  of  the  established 
rules  of  conduct.  Opportunity  and  ambition  are 
its  hand-maidens,  and  in  its  train  may  be  seen 
courage  and  patience  and  constancy. 

Success  comes  in  many  different  guises  and  is 
at  times  unrecognized.  It  is  said  that  Kipling  was 
so  dissatisfied  with  the  Recessional  that  he  threw 
it  in  his  waste-basket,  whence  it  was  rescued  by 
his  wife.  Mr.  Moody,  after  the  first  delivery  of 
one  of  his  most  powerful  sermons,  was  found  by 
one  of  his  friends  in  anguish  of  spirit  over  its 
apparent  failure.  Lincoln's  Gettysburg  speech 
occupies  an  unique  position  among  American 
papers.  It  is  one  of  the  shortest  speeches  on 
record,  is  famous  as  a  state  paper,  and  is  a  classic 
in  the  literature  of  the  English  language.  It  is  a 
gem  of  pure  Anglo-Saxon  diction  and  breathes  the 
unconquerable  spirit  of  democracy,  and  courage 
and  hope,  and  yet  it  is  a  matter  of  histor\'  that 
President  Lincoln  was  deeply  mortified  and  dis- 
appointed after  its  delivery  because  he  thought  it 
was  a  failure.  The  life  of  Henry  Clay  expounds 
in  a  striking  way  the  strange  vagaries  of  success. 
After  he  had  come  to  the  full  fruition  of  his 
powers,  it  was  his  greatest  ambition  to  be  presi- 
dent of  these  United  States.  He  was  three  times 
candidate  for  this  position  and  three  times  de- 
feated, and  it  was  an  apparent  irony  of  Fate  that  in 
only  two  elections  were  the  Whigs  successful,  but 
on  neither  of  these  occasions  was  Mr.  Clay  a 
candidate.  In  spite  of  this  apparent  three-fold 
failure,  his  fame  looms  larger  than  most  of  the 
presidents.  The  names  in  this  country  that  are 
entitled  to  stand  with  him  are  very  few  indeed,  and 
in  his  record  of  service,  probably  only  th.ree  are 
entitled  to  stand  above  him — Washington,  Jeffer- 
son and  Lincoln.  He  was  the  originator  of  the 
American  System,  and  the  author  of  tlie  famous 
tariff'  of  1833.  It  was  his  influence  more  than  any 
other  that  gave  us  the  courage  to  declare  war  in 


1812,  and  he  was  a  commissioner  of  peace  after- 
ward, and  for  five  weary  months  stood  firm,  and 
finally  won.  He  was  the  father  of  the  Missouri 
Compromise  and  saved  the  Union,  and  30  years 
later,  in  18.50,  brought  about  a  second  compromise 
that  put  off  the  Civil  War  for  eleven  years.  As 
Secretary  of  State  under  John  Quincy  Adams,  he 
negotiated  more  treaties  than  had  been  arranged 
in  the  preceding  thirty-five  years.  As  a  parli- 
amentary leader  he  was  the  greatest  in  our  history. 
He  was  six  times  elected  Speaker  of  the  House  of 
Representatives,  and  not  one  of  his  rulings  was 
reversed.  He  had  a  record  of  almost  continuous 
public  service  over  a  period  of  fifty-two  years,  and 
near  the  end  of  it  was  elected  unanimously  to  the 
Senate  from  a  state  bitterly  divided  by  party  strife 
in  a  time  when  the  very  existence  of  the  Union 
hung  in  the  balance. 

The  historian,  Rhodes,  said  of  him  that  no  man 
had  ever  been  loved  as  the  people  of  the  United 
States  loved  Henry  Clay.  Proctor  said  that  he 
had  the  faculty  of  making  friends  and  holding 
them  through  life  by  ties  which  no  circumstances 
or  condition  could  sever.  He  was  born  in  1777, 
the  year  of  the  Battle  of  Saratoga,  and  died  in 
1852,  and  after  nine  years  the  memory  of  his  great 
name  and  his  love  of  the  Union  prevented  Ken- 
tucky from  seceding.  Had  he  still  been  living  in 
1861,  it  is  highly  probable  that  he  could  have  pre- 
vented the  war. 

And  yet  this  man  measured  by  the  standard  of 
his  great  ambition,  was  a  failure.  What  a  pity  it 
is  that  in  these  days  when  the  very  foundations  of 
society  seem  to  be  tottering,  that  there  are  not  a 
few  more  such  failures  in  our  National  Congress. 

A  hospital  with  its  School  of  Medicine  and 
Training  School  for  Nurses  is  something  more 
than  a  group  of  buildings  where  patients  are 
treated,  and  nurses  and  students  taught.  If  one 
has  eyes  that  see,  and  ears  that  hear,  and  a  heart 
that  understands,  he  will  see  and  hear  and  under- 
stand many  things  that  are  not  written  in  books. 
He  will  begin  to  appreciate  somewhat  the  spirit 
and  traditions  of  the  place,  which  gives  to  it  a 
sort  of  local  Deity. 

Hospital  life  is  a  great  leveler.  The  hospital  is 
too  busy  to  be  interested  in  your  accomplishments, 
in  your  ambitions,  in  your  thoughts.  There  are 
too  many  patients  to  be  dressed,  too  nianv  medi-

cines  to  be  given,  too  many  questions  to  be 
answered.  Each  one  succeeds  or  fails  because  of 
herself  alone. 

There  are  those  who  say  that  the  hospital  is  only 
a  big  machine.     It  is  more  than  that. 

Sickness  and  death  teach  us  many  tl:ings.  They 
lay  bare  most  of  the  unrealities  of  life  and  rob  us 
of  all  sham.  Think  of  the  many  things  that  pass 
through  the  hospital  rooms  and  wards — accident, 
sudden  death,  infant  mortality,  infectious  diseases, 
the  social  problem,  undesirable  aliens,  starvation, 
insanity,  alcoholism,  heredity,  suicide,  assaults, 
murder,  poverty,  crime.  Here  are  seen  daily  the 
grim  tragedies  of  life,  and  much  that  is  comic. 
This  plunge  into  the  actual  flood  of  living  is  apt 
to  unsettle  you  in  the  beginning,  to  leave  >ou  lost 
in  a  maze  of  conflicting  emotions. 

The  hospital  is  a  miniature  world  dealing  in 
bare  realities,  following  its  vocation  with  little 
time  and  little  interest  in  matters  outside  of  itself. 
If  We  have  sufficient  imagination,  a  new  stage  is 
being  constantly  set  before  our  eyes,  and  the  actors 
thereon  are  many  and  varied.  "How  the  World 
Lives,"  is  played  to  us  daily  with  a  full  cast — hero 
and  heroine,  villian  and  victim,  with  a  crowd  of 
supers  at  the  back  of  the  stage  and  in  th.e  wings. 

Most  men  know  very  little  of  the  lives  of  others, 
but  hospital  workers  get  very  close  to  people.  They 
come  for  advice  and  help.  No  two  are  just  alike, 
and  their  records  laid  bare,  range  through  every 
shade  of  color  from  the  purest  white  to  nauseating 
black.  The  wise  nurse  soon  learns  that  she  must 
forget  many  old  things,  and  learn  many  new  ones, 
and  most  important  of  all,  she  must  learn  lives, 
and  the  tragedy  of  lives  ruined,  lives  sunk  will 
knock  at  her  heart ;  while  she  will  be  tremendously 
heartened  by  lives  that  are  brave  and  charitable 
and  good.  So  that  many  of  the  erstwhile  interest- 
ing things  of  the  world  loose  their  power  to  move 
her,  for  every  day  she  sees  a  little  bit  of  both 
Heaven  and  Hell.  So  she  sees  things  as  they  are, 
but  does  not  always  put  the  right  interpretation  0:1 
them.  At  first,  she  is  apt  to  look  too  much  on  ihc 
dark  side.  Everything  seems  sick  or  wrong,  sunk 
in  crime  or  drink,  and  unless  she  is  careful  of  the 
gifts  that  she  ought  to  have  brought  with  her. 
down  with  a  crash  come  Faith  and  Hope  and 
Charity,  and  she  will  be  at  great  eft'ort  and  difli- 
culty  to  set  them  up  again. 


After  a  little  while,  however,  the  bright  side  be- 
gins to  be  seen.  There  will  come  to  her  again  and 
again  the  great  joy  of  turning  away  the  hand  of 
death,  the  opportunity  of  lessening  pain,  of  bring- 
ing order  out  of  confusion,  of  preaching  the  beautv 
of  cleanliness,  she  will  see  people  face  the  great 
crises  of  life  with  splendid  courage,  she  will  see 
hope  and  faith  go  down  with  sufi^erers  to  the  very 
brink  of  the  river,  whose  name  is  death,  and  she 
will  be  rewarded  by  the  happy  tears  of  mothers 
carrying  home  again  the  children  whom  she  has 
nursed  back  to  life  and  health,  and  the  end  of  each 
day's  work,  however  hard,  however  fraught  with 
weal  01  woe,  will  bring  its  own  reward. 

A  poor  man  nursed  b}-  thee  shall  make  thee 

rich. 
A  sick  man  helped  by  thee  shall  make  ih.ee 

strong. 
Thou  shalt  be  served  thyself  by  every  sense  of 

service  thou  hast  rendered. 

"Fair,  indeed,  is  the  prize  and  the  hope  great." 
In  conclusion,  it  is  my  privilege  on  beha^lf  of 
the  hospital  management  and  for  your  man}- 
friends  to  wish  you  a  happy  fulfillment  of  all  vour 
hopes,  yiay  your  ships  come  sailing  into  port 
richly  laden  with  delectable  gifts  of  a  kind  Fate, 
and  may  the  words  of  Queen  Guinevere  to  Enid 
come  true  for  each  one  of  you :  "Be  prosperous 
in  this  journey  as  in  all,  and  may  you  light  on  all 
things  that  vou  love."

EDITORIALLY  EXPRESSED. 


In  his  article  on  Loyalty,  published  in  The 
Gazette  of  May,  Dr.  Hopkinson  urges  action 
in  the  creation  of  an  endowment  fund  for  the 
University. 

The  thought  should  not  cease  with  the  sug- 
gestion, but  should  take  such  form  as  to  de- 
velop into  a  foundation  upon  which  a  permanent 
fund  may  be  established  and  developed  to  pro- 
portions commensurate  'with  the  university  needs. 
The  sponsor  for  such  a  fund  should  be  the 
Alumni  of  the  Lhiiver^ity,  operating  through  tl'.e 
Alumni  Association.  Having  contributed  as  the 
members  themselves  feel  able  then  the  organiza- 
tion is  in  a  position  to  soHcit  patronage  from 
men  able  to  give  and  willing  to  assist.  The 
UNIVERSITY  SHOULD  BE  ENDOWED. 


Are  we  all  we  profess  to  be?  Are  we  class  "A" 
school  in  fact  as  in  reputation  ?  Are  we  organiza- 
ing  our  forces  along  lines  of  efficiency,  which 
will  make  us  a  permanent  institution  in  this 
age  of  great  progress?  Is  our  thought  single  \o 
the  best  service  we  may  render  society  in  prop- 
erly equipping  young  men  for  the  professions? 


The  College  Man    Sets

Are  our  courses  so  arranged  as  to  give  the  young 
men  advantage  of  the  best  professional  training 
his  future  requires ;  Have  we  "dead  wood"  in 
our  system  which  should  be  cut  out  or  have  we 
need  of  things  lacking?  We  should  engage  in  a 
bit  of  introspection  and  having  come  to  know 
ourselves  cultivate  the  better  parts  and  cast  out 
that  of  no  beneiicial  consequences  for  fear  of 
tiltimate  harm.  Let  our  standard  be  TLIE 
BEST. 


To  Dr  A.  H.  Carroll  all  credit  is  due  for  the 
successful  arrangement  of  the  University  ban- 
quet at  the  Emerson  ITotel,  May  31st.  Dr.  Car- 
roll gave  lavishly  of  time  and  energy  that  the 
hope  of  such  a  gathering  might  be  realized,  and 
all  members  of  the  Alumni  Association  as  well 
as  the  graduates  of  the  191G  class  owe  much  to 
him  for  the  success  of  the  occasion.  A  few 
more  workers  of  his  zeal  would  soon  make 
all  our  organizations  teem  with  activity.  May 
he  now  resolve  to  have  a  Second  Annual  Alumni 
Bancjuet  in  the  spring  of  1917.

LAW— SENIOR. 


Whatever  feeling  the  men  of  this  class  have 
expressed  toward  the  joint  banquet  idea  before 
the  law  faculty  decided  to  become  a  party 
to  it,  it  was  very  easy  to  see  that  everyone  was 
well  pleased  when  it  was  announced  that  the 
faculty  had  entered  into  the  plan.  You  can 
count  on  it  that  every  senior  law  man  who  will 
graduate  this  year  will  be  present  at  this  joint 
university  banquet,  and  if  they  don't  display 
plenty  of  "pep"  it  will  be  somebody  else's  fault. 


The  VMG  Terra  Mariae  was  ready  for  dcli\'ery

hand  to  pay  up  the  contract  price  by  Wednesday, 
May  21.  No  books  will  be  (leli\ered  until  the

"This  shall  be  the  last  time  we  meet,"  said 
Plans  Froelicher  at  the  last  examination.  Our 
president  uttered  the  truth  then,  for  he  is  wise 
as  to  college  affairs.  May  19  was  the  last  time 
we  met — the  last  time  as  students.  Hereafter 
we  shall  hold  many  meetings,  but  they  will  be 
attended  by  young  men  who  have  just  been  ad- 
mitted to  the  bar,  and  by  those  to  whom  admit- 
tance is  merely  a  matter  of  days.  Then  to  such 
young-  men  as  we  the  days  of  college  life  will 
have  lost  its  tang.  The  legal  principles  we  will 
hereafter  contend  with  will  not  be  altogether 
new ;  they  will  be  mereh'  elaborations  of  the 
principles  that  appeared  so  new  to  us  two  years 
ago.  We  will  be  like  matured  fruit  that  longs 
for  the  autumnal  wind  to  blow — to  blow  it  to 
an  independent  existence.  In  fact,  the  legal 
symphony  rounds  its  fourth  movement.  We 
now  play  a  calm  melody  awaiting  the  fortissimo 
finale. 

And  then — what? 

To  many  it  will  be  a  hollow  triumph.  The 
conclusion  of  the  struggle  will  corroborate  the 
fact  that  the  honors  we  seek  are  but  delusions. 
We  find  that  the  prize  lacks  lustre  and,  like 
Macbeth,  we  look  back  to  the  halcyon  days  and 
murmur : 
"Tomorrow  and  tomorrow  and  tomorrow, 

luich  flits  on  its  pretty  fact  from  day  to  day. 

Till  the  last  syllable  of  recorded  time." 

Then  will  we  know  the  unlocked  for  but  simple 
fact  that  existence  is  but  a  continual  assertion 
of  what  we  really  are.  So  near  are  we  to  God 
that  all  our  struggles  are  but  to  assert  that  fact. 
-And  so  all  our  attainments  disajipoint.  Each 
victory  is  but  a  breathing  spell,  a  preparation  for

anotlier  endeavor  to  realize  how  great  man  can 
be. 

Therefore  rest  and  contentment  are  stagna- 
tion. Those  who  take  the  bar  examination  must 
know  this  fact.  Receiving  a  hcense  to  practice 
is  but  a  means  to  an  end.  The  means  is  the 
practice  of  kiw,  the  end  is  the  self-development, 
the  assertion  of  the  individual.  Anyone  who 
begins  with  the  preconceived  notion  that  he  must 
better  the  world,  or  reform  it,  or  help  his  fellow- 
man,  is  making  a  vain  efTort  to  substitute  a  man- 
made,  for  a  natural,  law.  Man  thinks  that  an 
individual  can  help  to  develop  the  race.  Nature 
does  not  think  so.  To  her  only  an  individual 
here  and  there  is  capable  of  development  and 
sometimes,  to  develop  him,  nature  sacrifices  a 
whole  race,  maybe  two.  Let  any  altruistic  stu- 
dent ponder  upon  the  futility  of  philanthropy, 
altruism  par  excellence,  or  on  the  futility  of  all 
mass  movements,  i.  e.,  altruistic  movements. 
Every  Utopia  has  ended  upon  the  rocks.  Beware 
of  the  peddlers  of  Utopia,  said  Nietzsche.  Yes, 
beware  of  the  mob. 

On  the  other  hand,  let  the  individualistic  stu- 
dent ponder  upon  the  past — races  and  peoples 
have  gone,  only  the  individuals  remain,  the 
grandees  of  intellect,  Plato,  Spinoza,  Pascal, 
Nietzsche;  the  poets.  Homer,  Dante,  Shakes- 
peare, Goethe;  the  rulers,  Caesar,  Justinian, 
Napoleon,  Lincoln,  etc. 

But  the  people,  the  races  do  not  they  serve  ? 
Oh,  yes,  they  serve.  Plow?  As  the  fertilizer, 
of  course.

LAW— JUNIOR.       ■ 


Edwin  K.  Gontrum,  '18. 


Our  class  pins  have  been  distributed.  While 
there  are  a  few  disgruntled  ones  who  do  not  like 
the  design,  yet  the  majority  of  the  fellows  are 
very  much  pleased  with  it.  The  pin  is  not  of  the 
ordinary  kind.  Its  attractiveness  lies  in  the 
oddity  of  design.  At  the  top  are  the  letters  U.  of 
M..  1918,  in  the  centre  is  an  owl  head,  emblematic 
of  wisdom,  while  at  the  bottom  is  the  word 
"law"  in  raised  letters.  The  pin  committee  is  to 
be  congratulated  on  its  selection.

now  are  things  of  the  past ;  that  is,  until  the  bar 
exams,  are  encountered.  Until  then  and  to  them 
who  have  safely  "pulled  through,"  may  the 
courses  above  mentioned,  especially  the  first,  ap- 
pear as  nightmares  stripped  of  their  terrors,  as 
bugbears  which  Horace  no  longer  dreads  to  meet. 
Real  Property  was  the  highest  htu'dle  thus  far 
met.  Only  one  to  be  apprehended  remain.s — 
Title.  Rumors  are  insistent  concerning  the 
difficulties  of  this  subject.  The  prevailing  opin- 
ion, however,  seems  to  indicate  that  it  is  less 
difficult  than  Real  Property.     Let  us  hope  so. 


Whatever  be  the  difficulties  in  the  studv  of  law, 
there  is  at  least  one  great  advantage.  It  opens 
up  a  most  enticing  field  of  thought,  one  which 
to  the  lay  mind  is  totally  incomprehensible,  but 
to  the  student,  from  the  first  inkling  he  receives 
(and  we  Juniors  have  but  the  first)  to  the 
broader  view  that  opens  to  him  as  he  proceeds, 
becomes  more  and  more  fraught  with  interest, 
more  and  more  laden  with  all  the  qualities  that 
make  it  the  instrument  through  which  justice  is 
dispensed  and  by  which  society  is  constrained 
into  a  harmonious  whole.  Blackstone,  in  his 
"Farewell  to  His  Muse,"  expresses  well  the  aim 
and  workings  of  the  law  : 

"Observe  how  parts  with  parts  unite 
See  countless  wheels  distinctly  tend 
By  various  laws  to  one  great  end ; 
While  mighty  Alfred's  piercing  soul 
Pervades  and  regulates  the  whole." 


Real   Property,  Tolls  and  Testamentary  Law 


While  the  last  two  weeks  of  the  school  were 
of  course  busy  ones,  according  to  reports,  there 
were  some  very  interesting  discussions  among  the 
fellows  as  to  the  probable  class  officers  next  vear. 
And  if  we  can  judge  by  what  has  been  said  there 
will  be  some  real  rivalry  next  fall  in  the  contest 
for  officers.  For  class  president  the  trend  of  dis- 
cussion seems  to  point  to  \\'eech,  Williams  and 
Robinson  as  candidates  from  whom  the  selection 
will  Ije  made.

In  the  morning  there  was  a  special  service  for 
the  class  at  St.  Paul's  Episcopal  Church,  after 
which  breakfast  was  served  at  the  hospital. 

The  exercises  were  held  in  the  evening  at  Leh- 
mann's  Hall.  The  Rev.  Arthur  B.  Kinsolving  of- 
fered prayer.  The  address  was  rendered  by  Dr. 
Arthur  M.  Shipley  and  the  diplomas  were  con- 
ferred by  Dr.  Randolph  VVinslow  and  presented  by 
Dr.  Thomas  Fell,  Provost  of  the  University.

Lucy  DuLaney  Scaggs,  Lula  Kathryn  Eichncr 
and  Maud  Waring  Simmons. 

The  success  of  the  commencement  is  largely 
due  to  the  efforts  of  Dr.  Randolph  Winslow. 


The  Nurses'  Alumnae  Association  of  the  Uni- 
versity of  Maryland  entertained  the  graduating 
class  at  a  bancjuet  at  the  Emerson  Hotel  on  Tues- 
day evening,  MaylGth.  Miss  Laura  Chapline  was 
toastmistress.  Miss  Nancy  McNabb,  the  presi- 
dent, made  the  address  of  welcome.  Miss  Mary 
Gavin  gave  an  interesting  talk  on  the  histors-  of 


the  Alumnae  pin.  Miss  Elizabeth  Getzendanner 
talked  on  the  Florence  Nightingale  cap,  which 
is  worn  by  the  University  Hospital  graduates. 
Mrs.  Frank  Lynn  rendered  a  most  interesting  re- 
port on  the  progress  of  the  Alumnae  Association, 
telling  of  the  benefits  derived  from  it.  Miss  E. 
Blanche  Hoff master,  president  of  the  graduating 
class,  made  an  address  on  behalf  of  the  class.  The 
class  song  was  sung.  There  was  dancing  and  a 
most  enjoyable  evening  spent. 


The  class  of  li)17.  University  Hospital  Train- 
ing School  for  Nurses,  entertained  the  graduating 
class  in  the  Nurses'  Home  on  the  evening  of  the 
I'lth  of  May.  Supper  was  served  in  the  nurses' 
diningroom.  A  most  delightful  time  was  spent 
in  dancing.  Dr.  Coleman  allowed  the  Residents 
of  the  hospital  to  attend.

^  Buttermilk  is  not  the  same,  nor  just 
as  good  as  a  properly  prepared  food. 

^  Dispensers  of  drink  or  food  who  try  to 
substitute  for  LoZak,  do  so  because 
buttermilk  is  an  otherwise  worthless  by- 
product of  creameries  and  retails  at  a 
larger  profit. 

^  LoZak  is  a  scientific  preparation, 
thoroughly  sterilized  and  composed  of 
today's  whole  certified  milk,  albumen 
from  yester-laid  eggs,  lactic  acid  and 
Bulgarian  bacillus. 


^  Your  doctor  will  tell  you  of  the  food 
and  health  values  of  each  mgredient  of 
LoZak. 

^  LoZak  is  especially  indicated  to 
offset  inertia  and  exhaustion.  The  taste 
for  LoZak  does  not  require  cultivation. 
LoZak  is  a  delightful,  refreshing  drink.
