RANDOLPH WINSLOW, A.B.,A.M.,M.D.
PROFESSOR OF SURGERY
AT THE
University of Maryland, Department of Medicine,
IS THIS
THE TERRA MARIAE OF 1906
Respectfully Dedicated.
/^ j^ j^
As a slight token of the esteem we feel for one whose patient, earnest and kindly efforts have been so successful in teaching each generation of medical students of the U. of M. to go forth into the world inspired with afFectionate regard for him, a greater love for the grand profession of which he is so noble an examplar, and a sincere desire for upholding the fair fame of the loved Alma Mater to whose development he has devoted the best years of an honored career.

There is no more alisolute gaii^e of a man's real wDrtli and noliility of (.-haraeter than that afforded by the esteem in whieli he is judd hy those witli whom he is in daily contact in the performance of the duties of life. Especially is this true in the life of a physician, as a result of flaily association with the varying pliases of humanity both as a custodian of fauiily secrets and the healer of all the forms of linman snfl'ering. It is this ever-present res])onsibility that tests to the utmost the qualities of manhood and demands the most unselfish abnegation of self for the benefit of others. Of him whose name is at the head of this ])age all who know him speak of him as tiie model physician, the conscientious and able teacher, the gentlenum above reproacli whose well-spent life has been in honorable service to humanitv. of whom it i-,\n iru\\ be said:
" JC.xamplt' is a living biw whost' sway
'SUw iiKirc tha.i all tln' written law obey."
liANDOLPII WlXSi.ow was bni'n in llcitroi'il. Xortli Cai'idina, October •2:!. IS.")?, and like every other Xortli Carolinian, if he could not have been b<irn in that State he would have ]ireferred to have been l>orn in Maryland. It is eminently fitting and justly equitable that Xorth Carolina, after tli'e old riiivei-sity has furnished her with so many able medical men, slioulil re])ay the debt by gi\ing to the I'niversity one of its best teaehei's. 1'hokkssoj! Winslow attended the acadeiuy in his native town, but the \var-(d(nul that hovered over the country during bis childhooil interfered consider- ably with liis early schooling. In October. lS(i."i. just after the i-lose of the great struggle, he was placed in school at Baltimore. His family nuived to the Monumen- tal City in the following year, and he became definitely a Baltinuirean. Tn 18(i7 he entered Haverford College, and took his bacludorV degree in l.STl. While at college he was prominent in athletics and field sports and has nuiintained an interest in these -diversions ever since, being at one time om,' of Baltimore's crack cricket players. Upon leaving Haverford, he entered the University of Maryland, and since that time he has always maintained an affectionate, active, and enthusiastic interest in that institution, laboring earni'stly for its welfare with an aliiding faith in its future greatness, and witb the cei'tainty of the realization of his hopes and the suc- cess 01 his efforts. It is equally certain that the name of Eandolph Winslow will be inseparably connected with the history of the development of this great home of medical learning.

Profoi-sor Winslow had the iulvaiitaifo of l)eiii(r reared in an atmosphere of medi- cine. Ilis fatlier. Dr. Calel) Win.'^low. wastlie most proiiuncnt ])liysieian in tlie eastern portion of Xorth Carolina, and afterward attained a siniihir ominenee in Tialtiinore, being especially imti'd fur the inunlier (d' successful litliotomies he performed; iiis brother. Dr. John Winslow, is a well-known specialist of Baltimore, and tiie signal ability that distinguishes tlie family in medicine, in no wise lessened, has descended to the third generation. Professor W inflow's son being a young physician of great l)roniise. liandoljih Winslow therefore entered the T^niversity well ei|ui))pi'd, and stood high in the class of 18T.'5, containing such mendiers as Professor Ashhy and Professor Michael of the Tniversity. Since that tiinr he has Iktu coniimiously connected with the teaching force of the University, was Assistant Demonstrator of Anatomy, from 1ST4 to 1S8(); Demonstrator of Atiatomy. from ISSO to l.SS(i; Lecturer on t'liiiical Surgery, from 1SS(; to ISiM: and since that tiiiic has been Professor of Surgery. He is also Chief Surgeon to the I'niversity Hospital, and Surgeon to tlu' ITebrew Ilosjn'tal. Jle was I'rofessor of Surgery at the Woman's Medical College from 1SS2 to 181)3. In addition to his work at the ITnivcrsity, Professor Winslow did special work at the University of Pennsylvania in ISTo, and at the great clinic of the world-renowned Billroth, in 188:i.
Despite his busy professional life and his arduous University and Hospital duties. Professor Winslow has found time to contribute nmny vahuible additions to current medical literature, jiarticularly in the domain cd' clinical surgery. He takes an active part in the work of the local societies, and never fails to be present at the annual meeting of the .\merican Medical .\.ssociation. He is President of the Xortli Caro- lina Society of Baltimore, and Chairman of the Section of Clinical ifedicine and Surgery of the Ballinu)re Mediial Siuicly. The degree of A. M. was conferred u)»on him in 1874. by Ilaverford College, for post-graduate work in New Testament Greek. In 1877 he marrii'il Miss I'ebecca F. I.eiper. of Chester, Pa., and takes no little pride in being llir falhcr nf ;i linr I'auiily ul' nine boys and three girls.
Professor Winslow's cliicr desire is In -mIi] grcalrr fame to the already glorious name borne by the Cniversity id' Maryhiiul. 1 1 i< t\\u' to liis constant elfort and the noble assistance of the other nii'nil»'rs (if llic lac idly thai Ibe I'liiversity of Maryland is held in such good repute Imlb in ibis i-nunlry and abroad.
While all those connected in ibe past and (hose at present cminected with the old University take pride in I'miessni- Winsinw's reputalinn as a man and his signal ability as a surgeon and |iby>icinii. he himscdf .seems to have no realzation of the high ]dace he is accorded in the minds and lu'arts of those who have come under the spell of his magnetic |n'esence. His simple, unalfected modesty, coupled with bis great skill and palieni enurtesy as a teacher, bis unfailing geniality of temperami'nt condiine to ins|iire for him among the students that alfection which has made one of the most po|)ular professors in a leailing college of medicine.

Foreword
Gentle reader, we are certain of criticism in our ett'orts to please you. Of criticism, Goetlio, the great (iernian, sa^ys: " One can neither protect nor arm himself against criticism. We must meet it defiantly, and thus disarm it."
However, the editors feel not the need of such advice, but cheerfully and hopefully submit to your kindly judgment and pleasurable perusal the Terrae Maria for 190G. We have done our best, and feel that our best should meet your approval. We liave striven earnestly to produce a storehouse of pleasant recollections that will, lil<e old wine, but improve with age.
Each picture, eacli poem, each page has been created by someone who has en- deavored to show his love and fealty to our venerated Alma Mater, and incidentally furnish what might well be designated push-buttons of memory that will let loose the floodgates of reminiscence in the years to come.
Many capable efforts have been entrusted to the editors, and we have often been at a loss to make choice with so much merit placed at our disposal. It is our sincere wish that none will feel aggrieved at the absence of their kindly contributions to tlie Terrae Maria, but ho])c it will be idealized that limited space made it necessary to hiy aside many worthy efforts.
If, in the years to come, tjiis book should reawaken memories of joyous student days, when the song of youth rang sweetest and life was full of delightful antici|)a- tion, if it l)ut recall, gentle reader, the friends who shared with yon high hope and noble ambition inspired l)y those who taught you and us to honor the jirofession they have so earnestly toiled to fit us for, and by their good cxamjile made us love the old I'niversity which has been so kind to you and us, then our reward is all we could desire.

Our Alma Mater
By Judge Hexry Stockbkidge.
On till? tlii't'.sliold 1)1' a jiniFi'ssidnal i-aii'ei' the I'aci' nf each iiiir is iiatui'ally liii-neil forward. Tlw idea predi)iiiinaiit in the mind is akin to tlie attitude of the runner in a race, crouchinu' and with nerve and muscle strainel to cateh the starter's word and he off. There is no time to think of that which is heliind. Tlie shot rin^s out. There is a foi-wai'd sprini;-. The struuyle has heoun. hut tin' linal yoal is far away. Keen of eye must he the one wlio can see it. For most it is invisihU". 'i'h(> way to be passed over is long, and lieset witli ohstacles untliought of or unheeded wlien m joyous confidence over the course hegan. A litth' way fmm tlie start and one lags behind his fellows, and then drops out. Then another and another aliandons the contest. Those in front are nu'antime changing their relative positions. The ones now leading were slow in getting away when the' start was made, hut the struggle is none the less earnest. The iletermination actuating those who still remain is more real tlian ever before. And so the race i^oi's on. Who that has ever watched the runners as their swift feet ily along th<' path will fail to recognize the picture thus crudely suggested? ^\'hat is it which eiiahlcs oiii' to hold his ]iace when others fall behind or abandon the course!-' The coach u'ill ti'll you staying power, or wind.
Has this a cori'elative in the life of the ]ii-ofcssional man? II' so. in what does it consist? The enthusiasm (if ymith has passed into an adage. \A'c look upon its dis- play with jileasure.
Let but a few brief years pass by in the life nl' the indix iiliial. and an exhihition of the same sentiment will be pityingly alludeil to as "provini-ial "" or " bad IVirm."" Eather should these deprecatory ti'rms he applicl to such a critic-.
But for the professional man, in the exercise of his vocation, a repression of this natural sentiment, becomes not a matter of choice, but a necessity.
Whither has this long e.xordium ti'iulcd? To hut a single thought.
Thr enthusiasm of youth means this: that he wlm can preserve this sentiment, preserves his youth. The passing years may bear their trace in whitening locks, but he econies not old who kee])s the ardoi- oF his college or university days. Com- plete repression of expression of a sentiment like the I'epression of a physical function soon destroys. If, as .seems to be the case, the ]irofessional man of the ]iresent needs must stifle in large degree the ])lay of the youth-giving emotion of his earlier years, let it find an opportunity for expression in other ways.

To our Alma Mater, tlu' I'liivcrsity of .Marvlarid, we arc and ever shall be her boys. In her sheltering jjortals we have no neeil to check the flood tide of ardor that pulses through our veins. Towards lier restraint may be freely cast aside, and in so doing we draw for ourselves ever refreshing daughts from the fountain of perennial youth. Our affection frankly voiced and ])lainly shown will encourage her as she seeks to guide and mold aright our younger brothers who must sooner or later take our places. Xor is this nil. Our active loyalty to her will be a bond ol union with each other, through which we, who.se paths of professional life lie along dilferent ways, will come to know better and appreciate more what each is doing in his appointed place, and we shall find in the zeal and intere.st of a common brother- hood, a broader sympathy with mankind, a keener appreciation of our fellowmen, and for ourselves a new life which will keep us ever young, and bring us to the finish line as fresh in spirit and in zeal as when our course began.

Senior Class History
It is not the province of the historian tn write a detailed aeeount of each meniher of the Class. 1)ut to treat the Class as an entirety; to narrate the events that are of interest and importance; to all of our joys, our sorrows, our victories, and our defeats. Four years have hecn spent by us at the " Old University." Durin.<>- that time the Alps have been crossed. Xow tlie aoal of our la))or is at hand, namely, uradualiim. Jn the past years how often have we wisheil thai tlie time were here. Xow \\r feel with a sense of sorrow that it is time to de])art.
Our members c<ime from the Sunny South, the Xortli. and West, our Xorthern Xeighbor, the Isles to tlie South of us and the Orient. All have been actuated l)y one desire, to learn and profit by instruction and obser\ation. Even in our first year we showed a trait tliat has been characteristic of our class, independence. Bouna down by no set of laws that are inflexible, we have ever stood for those principles tluit mark progress. Xot by sudden upheavals and wonderful iierformanees, l)ut by the sound and safe way of performing the task that each day lirings forth.
It was during the first of October. 100-?, that we assemlded upon the campus for the first time. An observer would have noticed that here and there were two or three in groups, or that the majority were liy themselves. Some a])]iearcd ill at ease, others were nmking an attempt to a])i)ear perfectly accustomed to their surroundings. Xotwithstanding this, all of us were picked out with unerring accuracy by the Ujiper Classmen and designated as Freshmen.
TERRA SMARIAE 1906
Then our initiation began. A long rope, a pot of black paint, and a number of laughing and cheering men; these were the instruments for our initiation. Quickly a small number were collected and roped together. Then our faces were painted and our coats turned wrong side out. Just imagine what an imposing sight we must have made. At last this was over. With courage we climbed to Anatomical Hall; boldly we entered, and some of us forgot to take off our hats. Of this we were reminded by a mighty howl, " Freshman with his hat on.'" Following this we would be seized, rushed down into the arena, and put on the revolving table. Round and round went the table amid the cheers and laughter. Oh. how tightly we held to that table. Some were unfortimate enough to fall off; willing hands eauglit them and placed them on the table again. During tliis time some of our classmates were caught sitting on one of the first four rows, and liow they took an aerial flight upward and backward.
At times we made bold attempts to defend our rights and principles; but as we were nearly always worsted, it made our cause no stronger. All of us remember the concerted effort of about twenty on one memorable day. The contest began at the head of the steps. Bravely we fought, but what could we do against so much strength. Those of us who were in tliat struggle well remember it. Tlie day was going against us when aid came in the shape of our Dean.
The question that puzzled us for sometime was how to elect our Class officers. The Sophomores always seemed on the alert to nip any such movement in the head. After several attempts that ended in failure we finally succeeded, with the help of Perry, and the following officers were elected: President, Mr. Rowe; Yice- Pre^iilcnt, ^li!. Cr.AHKE; Secretar}-, JIr. Sowers; Treasurer. ^Ir. White : Historian, Mr. Roberts; Scrgeant-at-Arms, Mr. Stonestreet, and Mascot. Mr. SitiTij. After this we began study, and it was not long before we were dissecting. With a mi.xture of study and fun tlie yeai- soon passed, and almost before we knew it examinations were upon us.
After having enjoyed a very pleasant vacatiim we returned to take up the work of our second year. We met each other with many hearty handshakes and greet- ings. All seemed glad to be back again. The first work of the year was to wel- come the Freshmen. Remembering that only one year before we had been in the same position, we were inclined to treat them with consideration and clemency. Those who received the initiation in the spirit that it was given, had no trouble; those who did not were made to feel their position more keenly.
At a meeting called by Mr. Rowe the following oflicers were elected for the year: President, Mu. Clarke; Vice-President, Mr. Caxtwell; Secretary, Mr. Blck : Treasurer, Mr. Borden; Editor, Mr. Olive; Historian, Mr. Roberts.
At different times during the year we asembled together for amusement. Tlie principal event of this nature was a smoker given at Germania ^faMinercbor Hall, on December II, which was largely attended and enjoyed. The programme con-
56
TERRA SMARIAE 1906
sisted of toasts, music, vocal and instrumental, some selections rendered in dialect, and something to eat and drink. Thus with our work and some amusement the year passed. Soon examinations were over, and we were home again enjoying an- other pleasant vacation.
At our next meeting we were Juniors. Slowly but surely we were climbing. It was with much regret that we missed the faces of two of our members, whom death had robbed us of. N"ever more would we see them, but their memory still remains.
Our Class was materially increased by a number of new men from other institu- tions. To them we extended our best wishes and endeavored to make them feel at home. The following officers were elected to serve for the year: President, Mr. Carltox ; Vice-President, Mr. Crawford ; Secretary, Mr. Bordex ; Treasurer, Mr. James; Editor, Mr. Clarke; Historian, Me. Egberts; Sergeant-at-Arms, Mr. Hart; Artist, Me. Hill.
The work of this year was harder than that of either of the preceding ones, but far more interesting.
In the line of social functions, we held a theatre party on January 2.3, at the Academy of Music, following this with a banquet at the Eutaw House, and it is needless to say that this occasion was greatly enjoyed.
On the first of October, 1905, we had all returned to the University, after spend- ing another very enjoyable vacation. Again many new men came into our ranks. Next to the announcement of graduates stands the elec- tion of officers, that is, in regard to the excitement it causes. Everyone takes an interest in this far exceeding that of previous elections. It was not a question of Democrat or Republican, but are you a fraternity or non-fraternity man? Several attempts were made to compromise, Ijut no agreement satisfactor}' to both factions could be reached. Then it became a question of who could muster the majority of votes, and electioneering began in earnest. How some of the men worked, tliev hardly took time to eat or sleep. Every man was besieged and the whole situation narrated to him. The methods of past elections, the intrigues, and the results, then in glowing words the remedy was shown. If you agreed you were taken into the fold, given some tickets and instructions, and sent out to work on some member whose allegiance was unknown. Finally we assembled in Anatomical Hall to cast our ballots. With one or two exceptions every member of the Class was present, includ- ing Brooks^ also many graduates and under classmen. Each candidate was loudly cheered as he entered. The meeting was called to order, and after a few prelimi- naries the real work of the evening began. Tlie name of each candidate was followed by cheering when it was put in nomination. Then began the voting amid silence. When the ballots were counted, and the results announced, a rush would be made for the successful candid-'te, who would be lifted to the shoulders of his followers and carried around the room, amid the cheering and shouting of those present.

On June 1, lOOo, tlicre as.scmhled ahont the historic edifice on Lond)ard street, west of (ireene. in common i)arlance of siielents known as the "House,"' thirty-two of tlu' ino>t promising and intellectual uu inhers of Class of "06, prominent among who were K.vi'ilEL, Co.STi;i! ami others of like calihre (higher praise can he bestowed on no one). We were a ]irccoeiiuis looking set of end)ryo ]\[.

I never would have |iaiil my .Sl.")(i.(iii in hi' oiven the work of air orderly, who is paid to do it."
'J'he cliuVax was reached, howexer. when one sweltering- afternoon. Olive, liot and out of temj)er. came from the ward exclaiming", "Well, I never heai'd of such a thing before, he nnwt thinly that this is a ])i'imary school, the idea of such a thing as, ■Olivjc, dot that i," " ]iut a connna there. Olivi-;,' 'don't forget to cross that t." and ■ now a period and hegin a new sentence with a capital." '" It ajiiieared. in response to inquiries, that for two houi-s he liad hei'u taking a pliysical examination at the dieta- tion of Dr. Holjiks SMiTit. Jif.. and was much incenseil that lie, who had served his term as an associated ])ress corres))oiident, should he taking lessons in ciniiposition ami pnctuation fmm one so much his juninr in years and experience in composition.
After two or thret' days had jiassed by in this manner wo were suiumonded before Dr. Shipley at !• o'clock one morning, to be instructed as to our conduct while in the Hospital. The bulk of these instructions related to the attitude to Ijc assumed iiy us toward the nurses. H seems that we were not to be allowed to converse with the nurses on any subject other than matters strictly professional, unless holding a chart at the time, and the conversatii)n with a nurse abmit one patient (?) should not be of more than fifteen minutes" duration. Strictest impartiality was enjoined, as it is one of the inviolable rules of the hospital that all nurses shall receive the same consideration, and woe be to that unfiu'tunate stndent who should he caught out with the same nurse more than three evenings in one week: for we were warned that npon him should be visited the tlire consequences of " His JHghness" " dis- pleasure.
It seems that tln-se instructions (particularly the ini])artiality clause) were un- intentionally, or purposeh' misunderstood 1)y some of our number, es|)ecially " T. A."' Hershxer and "' Iln; "' Cii.v.vev. who. it was rumored, were seen at a certain round table in the dining room of the St. .Tames Hotel, with two of the nurses, one of whom (alas for poor "Xewt."") has since married into military circles, leaving Xewtox for a time unconsolalile : but. thanks to the skilful ministration of another of the nurses, who.sc departure from the IIos]iital to a certain villagi' in Western Maryland cast a temporary gloom over the entire Hospital, this wmmd in his affections is entirely healed, leaving apparently no cicatrix. \\\\x to return to the thread of the narrative. It a|>|)ears that tin's was the fourth m- tiftli evening, in which Her.siixi-:i{ had enjoyed the ]ileasure of the company of the same nurse, in that week, and some of the other nurses must have called the attention of our respected and hoiKiivd Superintendent to this excessive partiality, while suffering from the assaults of the ■" green-eyed monster."" So we were again summoned to- gether at 9 o"clock another bright morning, and the instructions renewed and empha-

After this the instructions as to tlie nurses were observed, apparently, more punctiliously; I say apparently, for it may have been that others like "Billie" Campbell succeeded in finding " too good places to go " to get caught. But i-liortly after the Christmas holidays, when Dit. Shipley's vigilant suspicions had apparently lost their vigilance, it was noticed that " Little Chaney's " name failed to appear on the list of those posted on iluty in the wards and at clinics. Inquiry lirought out the sad fact, that poor T. M. ('. having yielded to the attractions of one of the PROBATioxERS, had forgotten tlie impartiality requirement and on account of liaviug overstayed his time limit in the accident ward mw day, liad been •' Dropped from the list for a montli."
But this is anticipating. As we became better ai(juainted with the residents, the tension between us gradually lessened, the lessons in punctuation, etc., were discon- tinued, and a feeling of good follow.ship supervened. Tilings were going thus smoothly, when it was noticed that " Bailey's flies,"' in compliance with the impar- tiality act, were, witli equal assiduity, dividing their attention between the " Surgical Ward and the viands on the " Palmer House " table. The recognition of this fact caused such a blow to the hj'peresthetic sensibilities of our friend BowLrs. that he no more jiut in his appearance at the festive board of this, or any other house on the " Bowery," after several futile attempts had been made, until at last, in desperation, he was forced to ])repare his food in his own room.
Having gotten accustomed to conform to the Ilos])ital regulations, or to conceal our own non-con foi'nuince, without it being too much of an etfort ; we now had time to turn our attention to the " House Warming," an institution as ancient as the " House" itself. Preparations were made, and the back court decorated witli ban- ners, streamers, Jajianese lanterns, frat colors, etc. Tables were improvised, the residents invited and everything in readiness for an alfair, which would far outshine any of its predecessors; when, fate and the weatherman being unpropitious, there descended a storm of such fury aiul intiMisity, that of tiie elaborate decorations there were left only a few faded pennants, and the framework of the lanterns. Sore was iiur disappointment at the demolition of nur anticipations, and it was not until after iiaving retired to the apartments, tlien vacant, but now occupied by our Editor-in- Ciiief and his fellow •'Skiddoo" Thomas, and (grace having been previously said by our ('ba])lain ibe Hr. li'i:\'. M. ('. Fueilixger) proceeded to cheer our sunken .spirits, with spirits of a lighter nature, wliich with sandwiches, matermelons, and other refreshments escaped destruction by the tempest. The apartments were small and crowded, the atmosphere thick with smoke, the illumination dim, the accommo- dations inadecpiate, Init, inspired by the entrancing music of the Bone Dust Glee <'luli, and the evbilarating elfoct of the beverages freely circulating, we soon forgot
TERRA SMARIAE 1906
our narrow confines, the inclemency of the weather and all uousiderations, save that of enjoying ourselves to the ntmost. Songs were sung, melodious and otherwise; BuRRUS and Boedex, with others, having become projjerly ( ?) stimulated, estab- lished reputations for " tripping it on the light fantastic toe " equal to the best of vaudeville artists. In the midst of the hubbub and confusion, the residents began 10 drop in by two's and three's ; all were hilariously welcomed, and were called upon for speeches, toasts, songs, etc. An eager rivalry was evidenced by all to see that they were properly and promptly served, as was witnessed to by the sight of our Assistant Superintendent, Dk. Wright, standing on a chair to propose a toast with head bowed to avoid hitting the ceiling, a cigar in one corner of his mouth, cigarette in the other, a stein of beer in one hand, glass of punch in the other, endeavoring to make himself heard amidst the cheers which his appearance had elicited, and, having failed at this, attempting to drink his punch without losing his cigar or cigarette (a more ludicrous spectacle I never anticipate beholding).
All our guests, including Kosminsky's friends, the officers of the French cruiser JuKcn de la Gmviere, were recipients of an equally hearty welcome. When the watermelons were cut, everyone got busy to such purpose that the outer man, includ- ing hair, face, white coats, etc., received a more generous portion than did the inner man. One by one we sought the quiet (?) of our various chambers until toward the "wee sma' hours" quiet eventually settled over the "House," and we all enjoyed a short repose in the arms of Morpheus before assuming the arduous duties of the succeeding day.
After this the summer days dragged along in weary monotony and drudgery of the routine Hospital duties and daily visits to private patients on Welcome Alley, Elbow Lane, Pig Alley, Vine Street, and other respectable and equally aristocratic neighborhoods. Clarke by his suave and engaging manner had secured a monopoly of he patronage of the exclusive residents on Vine Street, and it was only by accident or in case of emergency that any of us less fortunate individuals received to call to its much desired precincts. This monotony was interrupted by occasional evening sorties to Lake Eoland, Eiverview, and suburban resorts of like character; or by BuRRUs' 3 o'clock a. m. lectures to the Lithuanian occupants of the sweat shop next door, on the subjects "Intemperance" and "Desecration of the Sabbatli." On more than one occasion were our slumbers interrupted that we might become unwilling and involuntary participants with the rest of his audience of the advan- tages and benefits of his eloquent, heartfelt discourses and dissertations. It was about this time that Hershner was seen at Thompson's accompanied by one of the occu- pants of the nurses quarters and whose occupancy dated less than sLx months. He was asked next morning how much it would cost to take a nurse out to supper: his
reply was, " I don't know what it would cost to take a nurse, but it costs like h
to take a probationer." In spite of the expense we think that " Newt." will admit that he spent a much more pleasant evening- than he did later in the session, when

Oiii- dignified ]iositioii as Cliiiiial .\ssi>taiit- and Seniors prevented us from seeing tliat till' Fre.-hmen were properly welcomed, and this was left entirely to the able and willing hands of the underclassmen. I'roiii now on. no more complaints at the monotony of our existence were heard, and it was certain that none of us bad time to sufi'er with liiiiui. for what with operations, lectures, clinie>. ward classes, dis- pensary instruction, quizzes, laboratoiy. etc., etc.. our time was fully occu])ied from early in the morning until dusk, and w hen in the evening we sat down to study, we were so fatigued with our days' labor that it was dilliciilt and at times almost impo.ssihle to resist the attractions of ^rnnniKts. Early in the ses.sion we attempted a repetition of the " TTouse Warming." and >o far as the weather was concerned, with iiiiich greater success than the ]u-eceding one. Eatables and ilrinkables were in abundance, music was furnished by the lUack Diamond Pleasure Club and the '"House" quartette. The number whicii was received with most favor and most heartily encored was one which was, as the author informed us, '' C'ompo.sed by me own .se'f." BoROKX, Pi^aki.y, and "Joiinxii: .Toxes " favored us with several specialties. " Jouxxii; " and .Teax did a very amusing bout with the gloves as a j'reliminary to the more scientific match between Hi!i;nt and Wixsi.ow.

obnoxious (_-k'iiirnt. So the S. P. C. (society for the prevention of eussinji) was organized with J. D. Chaxey, President, and Hope. Tri'asnrcr. Aeeonling to the rnles of the organization any }nember guilty of using profane or obscene language should drop a penny into the Treasurer's box for each offense; the jiroceeds accruing thus to be spent, when sufficiently accumulated, for a glorious and bilaricuis drunk and feed. From the rapidity with which the amount increa.sed it would appear that some of tlie members, notably the Chaxey.s, were either very dry or wxs thirsty, and were exprtin,g themselves to the best of their, not meagre, abilities toward obtain- ing relief from the said thirst and himger. Great was the regret of the President and Treasurer upon their return from their Christmas vacation to find that the re- maining members had Inisted the liank, blown its contents and di-sbanded the Society : also that little Ciiaxey was reveling in nnliniited cussing as a relief from his temj)o- rarv restraint. The expressions of regret made use of by the officers would also in- dicate great relief .at being able to express thir sentiments withoiit cost. Thus passed ont of existence the S. P. C.
On the night of Jannary 2 of the Xew Year .several of the boys having received genorotis boxes front their respective homes, assem])led with a number of congenial friends in Rooms 7 and 1"2, and while the good cheer, consisting of good old Xortli Carolina cake and wine from Haye.s" box, and oysters from Tomjiie WEL.sir's, etc.. was being disposed of, organized the Eaw, Raw. Raw CIuli. Festivities were kept up nntil a late hour and before separating for the night tlie nu'inliers jiroceeded to salute all their fellow "Hou.se" mates with tlie olliidal yell of the Club. Special attention was given to the apartments of (Dks.) Rowe and " ^Iary " BowLrs, Geatty. and '" Friday "' Billups. A special salutation was given at the room of James and Ly^xcii. the two most studious men in the " House,"' and who.se door was found to be lilocked the next morning with empty ginger ale ( ?) bottles. So studious arc these two, that the only night during the session spent by them in recreation at the theatre was the one on. which the foxy Olive, having his ])upils dilatcil with atropine and beina' himself unalde to study, persuaded theut to accom])any him, that they might not outstrip liim in liis studies. Great was the laughtei- at this ru.se of Olive'.s, when attention was called to it by Freilixcier. the next morning at lecture.
Upon many occasions were the slumbers of the "House" men disturbed at un- timely hours by the now familiar veil of the Raw. Raw. Raw's as they returned from some evening of festivity and mirth. Xor was this the only source of disturbance of the slumbers of the "House" as Chief Skiddoo Fullixgs. A.ssistaxt Chief Skiddoo Crawford, and others of the Skiddoos would as a retaliatory procedure frequently awaken all the men Ijy yells such as co\dd originate only in the vocal apparatus of a Skiddoo: there was also the " House " ifusical Association which, not being permitted to practice without interruption at any other time, would meet in P. B. Sjiith's room abont 2 a. in. and repeat their repertoire time and again, to the great discomfort of the sleejiy sufferers, especially poor 'Lige White whose room

was just opposite. Cakltox, llioiigli in a remote portion of the house, complained bitterly at these interruptions to his necessary repose.
Wo regret that our duty as liistorian fompols us to record tliat Infante, after a strenuous argument with BiiicNT over some outside matters, resigned from the "House" and left our number, liis place being taken by our classmate, "Little Smith " (.T. 0. F.), the Clas? :Ma>LOt for the pa.=t three years.
Tliis history, fault}' as it may be, would be still more incomplete were reference not made to the popularity (?) of one our number, Oliver Howaim). in all the wards of the Hospital. He having, imnipdiatcly upon the a.ssumption of his duties ingratiated himself into the estwin of the nurses and residents to such an extent that it was not unusual for an obstreperous student to be called down by the nurse in charge of a ward with such a remark as this, '"' \\'q\], I declare, you are almost as bad as Mii. Howakd, I've a great mind to report you to Dr. Shipley."
Kind reader, to chronicle the events and happenings of a year in an institution where events and happenings occur witli so much fre([uency and rapidity, witliout necessarily overlooking and omitting some, is beyond the ability of the one selected to be historian. Nor is it our purpose to present here in the brief space allotted us more than an outline of the incidents that have occurred since June 1, 1905, in such a manner as to recall them to your memory, at a time, maybe in the distant future and with them personages of those friends associated, from whom on grad- uation you may Jiavu parted forever.

Xot long ago, as L wa* resting in a rei-luiing ciiair on the dcek oi' a deep sea- going vessel plying l)et\vi-en Baltimore ami Curtis. J>ay. T began meditating npon my future and that nt' mv olass-mates.
It was an ideal afternoon : the sun was jii.~t siiikint;- Iieyond the western horizv-^n, and the white clouds, whieh a few minutes l)eiuiC lav as soft, va))orv streaks along the water's edge, were lighted with a golden splendor. Another moment and the sun hail totally disapiieared. and tlu' sky grew more varied and lieautiful. as the golden lines were mixed with red and ])uri)k'. The moon had just thrown its silvery heams across the water, wh.'n a "' dopy "" feeling i>oine over me, and what happened I will now- narrate.

Tliev \\&<\ tired of the STL'DY of nu'iliciiic. and after takiiifi several of Dr. Moody's pills, " Pastor-ia," " A Sure Cure fur That Stiulious Feel i iij,'," decided to join Xat Wills on tlie road and make tlieir iiiaik in nilier lines. They informed ri-cmitcii that at TawTikville, several miles haek. they had " humped "" into Ki:i:i.i:if. WiaciiT and Zaki. who were "heatiny;"" their way to STONic.sTiiKirr.

The h()\s seemed well pleased with their prospects, and were in high " spirits."
By tiiis time we had consmned .several hottles of l!rci:"s Famous (Jinger .\le"(?), and Urciiiiit 11 having invited me to spend the night with him, we retired, and on the following morning, after a refreshing sleep, we decided to take a short trip into tliir rural districts, and visit <iur old friend " Charlie" Jexnixg.s. whom we had learned in thi' meantime was a country physician of some repute.
We .started on imr little tri]), hut hefore reaching our destination UpcucrCII remembering that he liad an engagement with M avuh Jahhki.l. left ine to continue my journey alone.
The DocTou not lieiiig at hnnie mi my arrival. 1 made myself kmiun to Mr.s. jENXiXfiS. wild invited me in Id await Iut hnshand's return. 1 immediately pro- ceeded to make niys(df at lidine, and afti-r "■ruhhering" around for a few minutes mv attention was attractiMJ hv a Monthly .Idumal of Scientifie Eescarch. edited by no other than Wii.i,i\m F. Fullixgs, A.B., .\.M., M.D., LL.B., etc. Lighting one of the J)ocroi!',s cigars and settling myself in an easy chair, I prepared for a rare treat. The magazine contained many articles of great interest, some of which had heen written liy iiiemhers of tin- did (lass df "lUl.
On the first jiage 1 found a very interesting article relating to the discovery of a drug called " Bugia,"' one dro]i o[ which would produce the effect of having others see you as you .see yourself. It was cleverly written by I. D. Ch.\ney, :\r. D., B. 11.. witli the assistance of B. L. Ciiii-lev, M. C. (mi-crobe).
This stimulated me to further investigation, and as I turned to another page I saw in large type, " The Etiology, Prognosis, and Treatment of That Tired Feeling." by FiTZ \\. Wi.NsLOW. if. D. It containeil a full description of the " Spirillum Col- leidiergus," which was cdaimed to he the exciting cause. Tn the treatment was men- tioneil a long list of experiments, with an anti-hacterial serum. u]ion ]lL:.Mf:. lIiLL, and J5rook.s; they being much interested in this impcu'tant addition to science, had sacrificed their practice in the intert'st of scientific investigation. In conclusion Dh. Wixslow stated that he had 8])ent the last two years in an unavailing attempt to rid himself of the very germs he had discovered.
On further perusal of the Journal I noticed an account of one William B. Ca.si;y,

wlio in an endeavdi- to impress upon the natives of Africa tlie necessity of feeding their infants modified milk, had been captured, and was aliout to be modified liimsolf, when he was rescued by White and Tutti.e, in cliarae of a company of English soldiers stationed in the Soudan.
There also ap])eared a few verses of poetry, written by del Toui). whoso many contributions (? ? ? ?) to our 19()G Annual did much to make that publication famous.
Glancing over a few advertisements I noticed this one with interest: Dii. Hayes' Hair Restorer, which was accompanied by a picture of " Big " Dees, an excellent testimonial of the etticiency of the " dope."
Another one that interested me very much was " How to Tjcarn Hypnotism in Five Lessons," by Frederick Hawkins, " The Wonder of the Age." Those wishing to take advantage of a special offer were directed to fill out Blank coupon and send it with ten cents for illustrated booklet and one free lesson. Grasping the oppor- tunity, I filled out tlie coupon, liorrowed an en\elopc and fifteen cents from tlie Doctor's office boy. and telling iliis. Jennings that I would return in a few min- utes, hastened to the post-otfice. After mailing my letter, and as I was about to return, imagine my surprise on meeting our old book agent Karlinsky, who told me that he had lieen on the road ten years selling BrRROUGiis" latest work. " How to Look Pleasant Even Though It Hurts." He explained that he had had hard luck, and I could see by that familiar old twinkle in his eye that he was about to negotiate a loan. Clutching my last three cents in my left hand, and looking around for some means of escape, I was relieved to see Dr. Jennings driving toward us. With a cry of joy I made one leap, landed square in the Doctor's lap,
and told him to drive like h . Our bumping together was so sudden that the
Doctor was speechless for a few moments. Eemembering Professor Mitchell's advice I pounded him thrice upon the back with uiy diamond ( ?) ring, which brought him around, and upon explaining the cause of my shot-out-of-the-cannon arrival, he sympathized greatly with me, and said that Leo had honored him with a visit recently, and incidentally been the cause of his having to buy a watch-dog.
The Doctor (suddenly throwing his chest out) informed me that he had been very busy of late, and his practice had grown so large that he was obliged to have an assistant. Eealizing the advantage of a partnership with a practical man, he had written to J. G. F. SiriTH, Superintendent of the University Hospital, and made him an excellent offer, which he thought would be accepted. Arriving at the Doctor's home, and after having met his family, I was ushered into the library, where the Doctor, producing a box of his choice Pittsburg cigars, manufactured by Mitchell Griffith & Co., said we might chat quietly without being disturbed by the kids.
After listening for a half hour to the Doctor's tale of his life, our conversation turned to the boys of our old class. I learned from him that Borden, after graduat-

Carltox had answered an advertisement in The Journal of Scientific Hes.earch rclatiiiff to the sale of a larjje practice in Orc'jon, and had sent the money in advance, li\it was never able to find the practice nor tiie town. Not having enough money with wliich to return homo, lie became a prospector for gold (bricks), and at tli(> present time owned a few sjiares in a mine in the far West.
^FcEliiattan, Cantwelt-, and " Xarbjow " Dees liad secured positions as sur- geons with a coal company in the mountains of West Virginia. Sxtfeer had also been employed by tlie same com|iany to extinguish the ligiils in the mine at the close of the day.
Tie f'AiiROi.i., after leaving college, instead of ]iracticiiig medicine, had decided to enter into politics, and liad gradually worked himself up. with the help of Kict.i.EY. to the position of Secretary to M avoi; Fi!i;n.iX(;i:i!. of Cambridge, ild.
I was indeed glad to hear such pleasant news about the boys, and after dining with jEXXix(is and bis family, decided to visit Cuius. Brexxeh. who the Doi'Tor informed me was living nearby.
.\fter a few minutes walk I found old Chris in a field by the roadside ])ulling a bell-cord over a shuck and fodder burner, which he claimed had the jiractice of medicine beat a yard both ways. Tie showed uie a lettei' <>f tbaiiks be bad just re- ceived from DfXCAX, who through his inllueuce had secured a position as resident physician in the Oro-ss Ixsaxe Asylu.m, Pittsburg. Dixcax stated that he was doing nicely, and bad recently received a visit from " I do " ScaNXELL and " I don't" Coster, who were traveling (with signs on tber backs) for ^(ki.i.in's Food, and meeting with great success.
Chris also informed me that Oi.ivk bad secured a ])osition wiili an adveriisiug firm, tacking uji signs, distributing saiui)les. etc., which duties he performed with his usual care.
Tearing mvself awav from Chris T returned to town, grabbed the lir-t calwosc for Baltimore, and was settling myself for a sjiell of <|uiet tbinkiiig when I heard a familiar voice ring out, '"Tickets, please," and looking up I was somewhat .«tartl<>d to see "Little" Ciiaxey, wearing the regulation uniform of a conductor, and waiting for me to ]n'oduce my pass. Kwognizing me he gave a " Cliee-Ha." and sprinted for the door. But in a few minutes returned with Roberts and Hart, who were employed as brakemen on the road. While we sat smoking and chatting about old times, someone could be heard singing." Now don't think that 1 am Santa Claus," and glancing in the direction from whence the discord came, I saw old "WnisTi.iXG Ifrrrs" BniRrs approacliiiig with a ba.sket of sandwiches on his arm. It re<|uind but a .second to "get ne.xt " to the kid wonder and his grub, and we soon bad our bands. ])Ockets and faces full of lu-ead and limburger

cheese. The kid took it all ,i;oo(l-natui-eilly, and after a handshake all aroinid, he proposed a game of poker, for olil time's sake. Again clutching those same three cents, I hesitated, turned blue in the face, and told'the bunch that I did not wish to "come in," as I never did care for cards, and — at that moment Haut with Sherlock Holmes' ability to read a vacant mind, slipped nu' a plugge(l nickel, and prospects of skinning the " Rubes '" loomed up bright before me. Of course I would play, just to be sociable. IJoBEirrs proiluced a ])ack of cards from a pocket next his H(e)akt, and the game started. On the first [day Bi lans was cleaned out, losing two cents, a meal ticket, and three cigarettes. Picking Tip his basket, and at the same time exclaiming, "' I'll catch hell from wifey to-night for this," he ambled off toward the baggage car The game then continued, and after fifteen minutes of play I had cleaned out the crowd, and looking over my spoils (twelve cents, a meal ticket, three cigarettes, a collar button, and a mouse ttap) was satis- lied that I had spent a most profitable few minutes
Not finding any more of Bi'RRfs' sandwiches, and feeling somewhat hungry, I was about to graft a lump of sugar from a youngster sitting near when " Wiiist- LixG RuFus •'■" returned with ice water ( ?) and [iretzels for the mob. Again a mad rush was made for the kid, and after the excitement blew over Buimrs informed lis that it being his birthday, he would " loosen up " and blow to eats and drinks (whicli he had swiped from the engineer) for a party, and wished us to drink hearty and make merry, but to keep perfectly sober. It is needless to say that we had a royal good old time, and I thoroughly enjoyed my trip with the boys, bidding them good-bye at Union Station, Baltimore, shortly before six o'clock.
Making my way to the street I hailed a cab, and told the man on the box to drive me to the University Hospital. Arriving at my destination, and as I was feeling in my pocket for the eighteen cents I had had in my possession when the poker game ended, the cabby slapped me on the back of my cheap collar button and exclaimed, " Why. hello. Doc, old boy, don't you know me? "' Olancing up I recog- nized my old chum DiCK Campbell, who had grown a luxui-iant croji of whiskers.
He said he had been in the business a number of years catering mostly to student trade, and was rapidly accumulating a fortune. .Tiji:my Hope, he informed me, was 33 in the same business, and could be found almost any night stationed in front of G. Wills' ]Music Hall, which was owned by " Maky " Bowlus. under whose gentle management it was rapidly moving to the front.
Bidding Dick good-bye I entered the Hospital, and was greeted by SuPEr.iXTEX- dentFawble Smith, who was making ready to depart for Dr. Jennings' home. He said he had accepted the Doctor's offer to enter into partnership, and expected to " beat " it out of town that evening, leaving the Hospital in charge of Brext, who at the time was out strolling with tlio telephone girl.
In a casual way SiiiTii mentioneil tliat Billlps. who had succeeded Huff E. Muff as Dispensary Physician, had gradually been "dropped from the list," from

Feeling sonieuliat in need of an e]iicnriaM feast, ami di'eaniinLr "1 a large tender- loin steak with a ])(>und of melted butter smeared ov^-r same, and stirrounded by a clustering colonv of the tcnderest mushrooms. I hastened toward Crawford's famous dining ball.
Stepping inside I found old Boi! in a heated conversation with Sowers, who had recently e.scajied from the Zoo. So\vi:;iis was endeavoring to .sell him a now brand of animal crackers, explaining that after a customer bad eaten one of bis monkev crackers be could be fed on jieanuts for any leiigtb of time and imagine that be was eating the finest food on the market.
Calling to one of bis waiters. Imiiiik Luimi; Siorr. to chain Sowhks to the dog bouse until the jwlice arrived, be came to nu'ct me in liis usual bap|iy manner. He said be bad two tickets to the ^laryland for that evening, and after a most enjoy- able su]i]ier (glass of milk and egg sandwich) we started for the .show. As we turned the corner of ]?altimore and Greene Streets we mot ritii. Siii:iiii).vx, who ushered us into his new " Palace."" which lu' had just bought from HEltsiiNEii who had been elected to the Chair of I'atbologv at the University, the former professor, after his discovery of the " Jose-coccus "' bad been so .severely criticized by Fiiirz- ritETZiCL KoEKLicu and other noted ])atbologists, that ho had become a non est in medical circles, and consequently fired fioni the University. I'bil inb>rnied us that he bad been in the theatrical business in Washington until recently, and that while there be bad frc(piently met A. B. Cl.vi!KE, formerly President of the Wire Pullers Union. Ci.AiiKic had been remarkably successful in his business for three years, but during his fourth he had boon bumped so hard that he was obliged to throw up the sponge and leave town, and has never been heard from since.
lioaving Phil we proceeded to the theatre, where we were greeted at the box office by the old smiling face of Joe IJkvi.ix. who was .so delighted on .seeing us that instead of coming out by way of the door, he made one of his famous line plunges through the window, and landeil in the arms of a young lady, whoso screams for
711
TERRA MARIAE 1906
her Inisband broiiglit to lier assistance a tall, hanclpome, muscular gentleman, who picked Joe up by the collar and was about to chastise him wlien we interfered, and recognizing the stranger as our old classmate TnoiiAS we" had quite a reunion and spent a happy few minutes.
Joe still trembling from fright favored us all with box seats, where in a few moments we were all very comfortably seated. Glancing toward the "peanut" I spotted the rusty faces of Peaklstixe, Lakrabee, Coxway, and Lake seated ou the front row. their faces smeared with grease. Thinking that I might be seen and fearing cat calls from them I drew back of the portiers, but too late, for cries of '■ Hey, old ' sea-legs ' meet us in the Rathskeller after the first act," " Have you got a chew of tobacco ? " and " Where did you graft a ticket? " could be heard through the theatre. At this point an usher touched me on the shoulder, at the same time saying, ' Sir, Manager Whitaker wishes me to say that you will have to either take a seat in the ' roost ' with the other gallery gods or leave the theatre." Seeing that I w-as about to seize the impudent rascal by the eustachian tube and cram his face in, Crawford rushed up and stepped between us, at the same time introducing my intended victim as Jean Eaphel. What a change had taken place in Jean. His hair had turned to green, his eyebrows were parted in the center and curled back over his ears, rings of smoke came from his eyes, and hot air and fire from his moutli. After recovering from our meeting and such a strange sight, I persuaded Jean to take an air-ship for the peanut and silence the mob. In a few moments all was quiet again, but I could not quite forget the fright Jean had given me.
Just then I heard a familiar voice from the roost singing out, " Something en- tirely new, a half dime, only a nickel. A song book given away with every pack- age of this daffy candy." Craavford smilingly informed me that it was the voice of Hume, who through the influence of Eowe, the doorkeeper, had secured the position, and was making good.
At this point the performance began with a solo by " Congestion " Plummer, entitled " Ain't I Hell." He was out three seconds and if he had remained three seconds longer another grave would have been dug in Actors' Row.
Next there appeared Lynch, James, and Harrell, acrobats. Lynch and James were the first on the scene dressed in green tights, thus showing to advantage their great development. Harrell then put in liis appearance wearing the garb of a tramp. They performed some thrilling, hair-raising feats, and were loudly ap- plauded for their great showing.
They had hardly made their exit when a rumbling clattering noise was heard and there appeared Leon J. Kosminsky' and Oliver A. Howard, presenting the Greatest Laughing Sketch in Vaudeville, entitled " What odr looking glass SEEMS TO tell US." They were greeted with their usual great applause — hisses, and just as they were about to begin their little sketch such a storm of bricks, eggs, and other missives as was showered at them from the audience I never hope to witness

Too imu-li space cannot be given to tlie liistory of those first months s|ient in medicine, the most notable event of whicli was the banqnet ten(h'i'c>,l to us on ]\Iarch 17tli, at tlie Xorthampton Hotel, by our honored President, Ar.BEiiT H. Cauhol. Unfortunately owing to sickness, I was not able to attend, but fi'om the descriptions of my classmates I feel justified in saying that it was the most notable event of our first year.
On the whole, our Freshman days were liajipy ones, and to most of us prolitable. While the work was new, and therefore hard at first to compreliend, yet the Faculty was considerate and patieiil. and the pleasure of making new friendsliips moiv than offset the pains of hard labor. It was with regret that we saw our Freshman year draw to a close, but though forced to say good-bye still we could look forward to m'eet- ing in a few months, this time as Sophomores.
It seems impossible that one short year should liave wrought in a man, or a body of men, such a change as was wrought in us. Yet to any one wlio had been on the campus in llHKi and again on Octolier .'!, I'.HI-I. the great change must have been apparent. 'J'he timid, self-abasing Freshman of the year before had returned as Sophomores, and by the way they carried themselves it was easily seen that they wished to remind every one of the fact. [Many a warm hand clasp, many a hearty, " tilad to see you, old man," testified that tln' bonds of friendship of the year before were not broken, but rather had been strengthened by absence. As for those un- foitunales who had matriculated at the Fniversity for the fii'sl time, how we felt for them, and even while we were greeting old friemls we wcve ]ilanning a little surprise party for the Freshmen.
Some few of the stiulents. whom wi' had known aud esteemed, had left us. notably our President. He had matriculated at the University of Edinlmrgh, and our heartiest wishes were extended for his welfare and success there. However we had the great pleasure of welcoming him liack in 1905. Those who left us we will miss, bnt in their place a greater number of new students had come to us from other medical colleges, and we were happy to extend to them the hospitalities of the Class.
Were we so kind to those students wlio luul come to "'Old Marylaiul" from prepara- tory schools and those with academic degrees? Well you may be sure we did not ignore them, they perhaps would have rather we had. for as soon as we gathered forty or more of them together, we forced them to undergo the same ti'eatment, with improvements, tliat we had undergone a year before, it did not take us bnig to impress them with our importance (?) ami they ])roved this by tlieir Imid cheers. But hazing like all things must end, ami before long we discovered that the first year men were " ]iot so woi-se " after all, and they were satisfied that we were not cruel or brutal, but only a body of men following a long-established custom.
Owing to our President's departure the A'ice-I'resident took the chair at the first Class meeting of the Sophomore year, on October Tth. While there assembled we elected for the year the following;' officei's: President. IfAitiiY Iiiiiirrox: A'ice-Presi-

After the serious ( ?) busi- ness of the meetiiif^ was concluded it uiis moved that we hold a theatre party, and this motion was unaniniousl\' sui)porti'il. " Red Keather " was the comedy we decided lo honor with oui- ])i('scn:e. and at Kord's ()|)era House, on October lOth, the Class spent one of tlie most enjoyable eveninjrs of the year.
But the serious side of University life was already elaiminjr our strict attention, so after this little departure from work we settled down with our books until the holidays. We had as yel only an iiisii^ht into the wnnderfid seii-nee we had chosen to study, but our interest was ;;rowinJ,^ and each day .somethinf,' was ijeinj: made more and more clear. This of course made the wf)rk .seem less irksome and stim- ulated us to ^rreater elforts. Our Si)|i!i(iinore year ])assed (piickly. and almost before we wer(> aware of the fael (lie lii-st nf ^lay had arrived and we separateil for the summer.
After a summer spent liappily with relatives and friends, wc returned to Balti- more, and October 2, IDt)."). found us on the camims renewing: the friendships of the past two years. This time, however, the timid Freshman, and the riotous Sopho- more had disappeared to (live ])lace to th(^ dicrnified Junior. A;:ain we had the jileasure of welcomini,^ some students who had decided to mati-iculate at the Uni- versity for their Junior and Senior years.
Minutes of meetings are uninterestiiij,'. b\it to write a faithful history one must chronicle the dry facts as well as tiie ideasant incidents and the hajipy little jrather- ings of student life. Two weeks after we had matriculated, we assembled ajid elected Paul 0. Argarbrite, President; R. C. Franklix. Vice-President; F. E. jAXtisox. Secretary, and BEX.iAitix Bi:xsox. Treasurer. At a meeting held a few weeks later Albei!T H. t'AUiioi. was elected Class Editor and Alexaxder IIitciiem,. Historian.
The work this year has been more ditticult than that of the previous two years, yet it has also been more interestiuj:-. We are ra]iiilly Itecoming acquainted with the more practical side of medicine, and of cour.se what (rue can see is easier for one to understand. But without the foundation of our first studies we would be in woe- ful plight now. We iclegated wmk (o thi' liaekground on I>i'e(>inber 18, 1!)05, which date was "Maryland Xight " at Ford">. the altr.idioii lieiiii: Kaymoxd ITitciicock in " The Galloper."
It is haril to Iniug this histoiy to a clo,se as there is much more that 1 would like to mini ion. but tiuic and space ])crmit me only to cite the ])rincipal happenings. The many good jokes on the boys, the pleasant little gatherings, the bright sayings, T tnust leave to the memories of my classnuites, tr\isting that these poor lines ma} helj) them to recall the liappier events of student life. Junior year is rapidly draw- ing to a close and even now we are looking forward to the liuie when we shall [rraduate ns the Centenninl Class. M i icii ii.i.. Ifislnrlnn.

Hardly had they taken their seats wiien there were wild yells of " Pass 'em up." " Freshman on the fourth row.'' etc. Several refused to move, ami were seized by the lusty "Sophs" and draj,';rcl to a liack seat.
Two days later we met at tlic I'hilaw liou.sc and or;:anized the Class.

Freshman Class History
As a rule very little is expected from a Class which has existe'l only a few months.
The limitation of time is not the only drawback to the first year men, but as we all know, the life of the Freshman is a life of probation, and on this account they are more or less prevented from doing what they would under ordinary circum- stances.
The Freshman Class of "09 is without a doubt one of the best crowd of Freshmen that ever assembled at the University of Maryland. They are all, with icw ex- ceptions, graduates of the most reputable colleges, and are all determined to be a credit to their former preceptors.
It has been customary for the up})er classmen to look down upon Freshmen as children and com growers, who dread to look forward to tlie opening of school.
There was not a Freshman who did not come prepared to take the hazing in the best possible manner, as they liad all been through the mill before, and considered it a right due the Sophs.
The opening day, October 3d, was a scene of gladness to all but the Freslimen ; they too were edified by the mark of gooil fellowship sliown by tlie upper classmen. At ten o'clock the hall bell rang and evcryl.iody proceeded to the chemical hall. The Freshman found at the door two young men who advised them that the Dean would have to sign on the back of their matriculating card so they all sojourned to tlie Dean's office, there to learn that they had been caught napping. They wei-e in- formed to return to the lecture hall. The first five or six that entered were escorted

Tlie Sophs (lid not appear to be satisfied with the different addresses, and at the eries for "song" tlie men were forced to "sing." The Freshmen were a little de- ficient in the art so the Sophs said they would call it square for tlie present if two of the Freshmen would kiss. The Freshmen proceeded to do as they were instructcil. but just at this moment Dr. Co.vle entered the hall, and judging from his broad smile, the Freshmen niu-^t have nia<le a favorahlc iinprossion. The Doctor told them ' TJiat was all."
Immediately artvr llie chemistry lecture ilic Suphs were the first tol(a\e the hall; said action was a great surprise to tlie Freshmen, as they thought that Dit. Coale'.s orders had been definite ( " That was all " ), but they were not allowed to remain under this impression long, for just as soon as they reached the lower hall they were escorted to a small room whore they were made up and properly costumed for the occasion. Kvcrylio iy then atlvanced to the front steps where the Freshmen were advised to pose for a picture. They certainly were a handsome looking crowd. Some wanted milk, some wanted manuna, some were <;reen. and i^onie were black. 'J'he decorating imposed on the Freshman's face, hands and body were magnificent, and certainly reflected great credit n])on the artist. The Freshmen were then tied together and marched through the dilTerent streets of the city, stop|)ing here and ihere, whenever the Sojihs were dry. and of course, the Freshmen always had to pay the liill. The Sophs sure liail enough high balls, sherryflips and milk punches on the opening day to last them the remainder of the year.
After paying a visit to tlie Baltimore iledical and several other medical institutions the Freshmen were marched back to the University, where they were untied and al- lowed to make themselves at home.
October stli a mass meeting of the Class was held in the .\natomical Hall, at which time Mi;. .1. Didi.i.v W'oodakd was appointed temporary President. About ten days later Mk. Woodakd called a meeting of the Class, same to assemlde in .Vnatomical Hall at i o'clock Thursday evening, for the purpose of electing Class otficers. There were thirtyeight mend)ers of the Class present, and the election resulted as follows: J'resident, IF it. J. D. WooiiAiiD: Vice-I^residcnt, ^lu. J. Xei.sox Osrokne; Secretary, I\Ik. C. F. Sthashindku; Treasurer, Mr. J .W. Uohkistson : Editor, Mit. Hoopkr: Historian, Mit. W. J. Bi.ake, and Sergeant-at-Arms, !Mr. A. Thurstox. The meet- ing then adjourned on account of interruption by the Sophomores. After the meet- ing the Sophs attempted to put Brown's head under the pump, but at this mo- ment the Freshmen interfered and would not allow their classmate to be put under the water. The Sojdis were determined tn cli. as they wished, and this resulted in a free-for-all fight.
JIr. TiiiR.sTON picked out the largest, strongest and the most popular man in the Sophomore Cla.ss, who was none other than Bio Harry ifKssMORE, and the pair hail a very lively fray, as they were evenly matched and made a good fight which resulteil

Xumerous meetings were hehl duriiii;' tlic year, and on the evening of Xoveniber .'liith the Freshmen banqueted at the Eutaw House, where the boys ate and drank to Iheir hearts content.

A Keruke Skidooed
In tiviuljling tones and spectral groans,
A ghost spoke over a bed-stead, The very shadow of Kenike, it seemed, Had come to liarass Bill Full, as he dreamed. "Now, Bill, — see here; admit it is a shame To get vip a Skidoo to outdo my fame. I was born amidst the celestial crows. Suffered privation and alcoholic throes. And when I died in nineteen-five. I thought my name woukl stay alive." " A sad mistake,' ' Bill Full thus spake, " I've found a thing of much better make, Now Skidoo right out, you old Kerake, You're no Ijetter than a Liver Fluke;" Thus Bill did roast that .sad old ghost.
Then swift away the spectre fled To the roost of that ghastly flock
And all the " good things' ' that now are dead. Full many a shriek in the stilly night
Shrieks the soul of that bum Keruke, While the Skidoos wax greater in their might
And still do deeds that bring rebuke; Full many a Spangle Tail Party they Celebrate under Bill FuUings' sway. And many a hamiless Hoodie, too. For the lianeful honor of Skidoo.
Hala.

A History, Being the Book of Chronicles of the Senior
Class
CHAPTER I.
" If \vc would hp romomliored after wi' arc dead, we must do somctliing worth writing or write sometliiiifr wortli rcadiuiz;."'
In the beginning was tlio Class of inod. aiid wisdom was its object, and its wisdom was great.
1. Once upon a time the Faculty of the University of Maryland Law was in sore need of ready coin.
2. And the month was .Tune of tlie year of Our Lord lOO.T, when the season at Curtis Bay, Bar Harbor and Coney Island was nigh at hand: and the situation was sore distressing.
3. Xow there was a man. and his name was .Toiin : and the same being Dean of the School and possessing keen foresight and ardent desire for increased gold, called a meeting of the Wise Men of the Faculty.
4. There forthwith came Hahlax, a nuin exceeding jiojuilar and of much wis- dom; and after ]\\\n caine Stoikltridge, a man well vi'rsed in all the realms of legal lore.
."). Then came one Ciikstnl rr. he of Gans and llA.\tAX. the latter of whom was not the IIajiax that servrd as vice-roy to An vsikijis, as found in the liook of Esther.
(). .\n there was one I'lii.i.i's. tlie Mlder. who was to become known to posterity as tiie author of a Student's llandiiook on .(uridicial Kcpiity.
7. And there was also Phelps, the Yo\inger. who was to inherit the Chair in Efiuity at the Law School, from his I'atbrr. l'iii:i,ps, the Klder. who was an able judge and scholar.
8. And there was Mucm; Am. an I'di:. iiol llic author of the "' Hells" (only an admirer of the Belles), but the son of Kaiiii:i! I'm:, named above, and fanuuis for the .ToiixXY I'ee Poe .\niendment.
US
TERRA MARIAE 1906
9. Tliere came also "Little Joe" Franx'E. an exceetliug brilliant man, who is not to be confounded with Little Joe that holds forth at the northwest corner of Baltimore and Howard Streets.
10. And with the others came Baer and Tenable, the latter of whom has re- cently given up lecturing to us in order to have more time for chasing round the Parks in the City Automobile; and Brantly and McLane, the Mayor of the City.
11. And when all the Chief Men were thus assembled. Father Poe opened his mouth and taught them saying:
1"^. Where'as, the treasury of the U. of Aid. Law tSchool is sadly in need of re])air;
i;]. And whereas, the summer season is nigh at hand, entailing increased demands upon our incomes ;
14. And whereas, by gi-aduation a large number of the students of the Law School have been lost to our grasp ;
l.T. Therefore, be it is resolved by tlie Faculty here assembled, that we place an Ad. in the BnUimore Sun. extolling the many advantages of this Grand and Historic Old School wliose alumni have long and ol't made the welkin ring with the Ijrilliance of their oratory.
16. And be it further resolved, that nuirked copies of these papers he sent broadcast througliout the land inflaming the mimls of innocent and unsuspecting youth to begin a pilgrimage to the Mecca on the southeast corner of Greene and Lombard Streets.
17. And it was so.
18. And tlie number was very great that heeded the call. Some came with nerve, some witli money.
And some came without a l)lameil thing at all.
19. And it was well they came, Ijoth for tliemselvcs, and for the Faculty.
20. For they waxed strong at Blackstone's shrine, and daily grew in favor with Faculty, and with themselves.
31. The star of the JJ. of Md. rose higher and higher, and became brigliter and brighter; until in Fel)ruary it was simply wonderful.
23. So much so that the Wise ilen of the East (several of us were, and still are, fiom the Eastern Slio" of ilil.) f|uitteil tencliing and preacliing and pursued the Star.
33. Now it so happened that the Star we liad seen was not after all tlie effulgent rays of legal lightning flashing from Faculty to students at the Law School, but was caused by an explosion on Hopkins Place, resulting in the Baltimore Fire.
34. We were glad to learn of the Fire; and, being disappointed not to find the Star we sought, we grimly determined to remain and be Stars ourselves.
2.5. And we enrolled as members of two classes and got busy.
CHAPTER II.

3. Ami one |)i:i:n. an exile from Caroline County, kept the class amuscil with his extraordinary rpiestions in Criminal Law. ami also staked his lesral reputation on the contention that it was legal in ild. for a man to marry his widow's sister; which contention might raise the ])oint as to where the wedding would be celebrated.
I. And Hakr. one of our really brilliant men, told us all about Cherry drove, which he had willed to his son .Toiix : and also about Livery of Seisin, and the liule in Shelly's case, which arc very interesting: that is, if we understand them.
5. Then there was Lrni.i: .loic Fuanci:. who told us all about what the cor])oration laws in this State should be, and we had sense enough to believe him; but when lie was given the opjmrtunity to tell the same to the Md. Legislature they seemed duller in comprclicndiiig tliaii nursclvcs. which is \\>< great ciniipliiiii'iit In nurschc-. nevertheless.

S. And the usual nuinlicr became attached to Criminal Law, and Testamentary Law, and voted unanimously to attend lectures for the second time.
9. .\notber illustration was given of the fad that a man can't stand too iiiiuli prospcril\ ; \nv one llicvw. a ne])bew nf Isinoi; TiAYNKi;, who bad recently brfii elected I'nited States Senator, was. on that account elected our Cla.«s President: hut the two crowns bore too heavily upon his handsome brow, and he spent the re- mainder of the year congratulating himself.

Jt was a warm day in .Mjirch and alllmiiirli caily for sprinjr I cniild Rvl its lan- (juoroiis infliU'iicc sti'aling over nic as 1 listcuod to tlio soothing toni's of tlu- lioiiorablc Krtnicf. 1 vaguely wondeivd wliat lii' was talking alxiut ; but it did not si'cni to be iif \ilai iinportance, so I gradually sank into tliat soniiioU'nt state wliicii such drowsy surroundings invariably prodiii'c.
Then suddrnly I awoke. 1 was by myself, lying in a strange, bare, dusty room, into whicli a dim light filtered through two long narrow windows. Tlie oidy familiar tiling was the roof, witii great brown raftiTs meeting in the centre. Then I rememlx'reil. 'i'liey suggesteil thr Irctiii'e room where 1 went to sleej). Without pausing to sjieeulale. 1 jumpeil up and. thoroughly awake, rushed to the window. Outside 1 saw what looked like the ruins of a (ireek tempU'. but still there was something familiar about it. ll lookeil like what bad been the Medical School of the I'niversilv of Maryland, and 1 seemed to see it fnnn the wiinlows of a smal\ room over the library — so called — of the Law Department, which 1 bad often looked at and speculated iipo.i finin a si'al in fnint of the Medical School. Hut the supposition was foolish I How could the ohl school have gone to the barl so siiddeiilv Well. 1 would get outside ami liml out what the mystery was anyhow.
I found a hap door and. leading ilnun fnnii il. an old broken-down ladder, by which I descended into the darkness below. Keeling around cautiously. 1 discovered a door aiul upon opening it fouiul myself just outsiile the old lecture room. 'I'hen

llie riuiiljling of a tk'i'ji. |ioa(l(.'r(iiis voifo rrarlied my cars, ami 1 knew that sDuicnne was holding forth. Entering tlu' moni. J was sur])ri_seil to see no one whom J i<new, and what seemed (iiicerer. the few men who noticed my entranci', turned and looked again and laughed, nudging their companions. Then I looked at the lecturer, and, in spite of the heavy mustache which so unexpectedly had crowned his previously futile efl'orts. 1 recognized old J. I'kestox McXeil, indulging his fond- ness for long, uninterrupted speech. It gave me a cpieer, dazed sort of a feeling to .see the mustache and all the rest of it and, before I realized that I wasn't feeling well, I had hiiil my head upon one of the same good olil tahles, so Familiar to me, and had passed away in a deep snooze.
When I came to, I was in J. P.'s bachelor apartments and he aroused me from a doze by asking " ^\'ilere in the deuce liave you been I'm- the past thirty-five years?" Naturally I was somewhat surprised and the feeling did not leave me when I found that it was, as he said, the year 1941. and that whib:' he and my former classmates bad lieen carving their fortunes, 1 luid been sleeping my time away. The numerous claims upon his time soon took John from iny side but, with a shave, new clothing, and some Ijorrowed money, all of wliich had a perfectly strange ap]iearance to me (excejit the shave), feeling much better, 1 started out to see what tlie world looked like.
Musing uj)on the mutability of human hopes, I cnnsumed a thoughtful breakfast ai Schmeissers's Hotel "just around the corner." and, lighting a cigar proceeded to peruse a letter with ■which a special delivery messenger had cleverly succeeded in reaching me. It was a dainty little note from Ringgold, stating that he and Beck had just come up fi'om Easton on partnershi]) business, and, having read of my strange arrival in C'lahke's Morning Gazette, desired me to join them and a crowd of old schoolmates at dinner that night. After mailing a hearty acceptance I repaired to the hotel steps and was about to summon an automobile when, noticing a large moving shadow on the pavement, I glanced up and beheld an airship, gently descending into the supports provided for that sort of conveyance at the front of the hotel. These articles were of course a novelty to me. so I watched its approach with a great deal of interest. Gently it descended, closer ami ciosei', until I vmihl hear voices, and I observed that its passengers were engageil in a heated argument. Finally I recognized the voices. It was JIoKiirs trying to convince Cu.vxe that fourteen hours' sleep per day is essential to good health, and Coblentz contending for ten. As the good ship settled down they all filed out and started for the hotel cafe, and I saw that they were headed by Lee and Qitogle. arm in arm. with large, black, fat cigars between thi'ir teetli. I heard someone say. " There goes the ring," so I presumed that they and their companions, amongst whom I saw Exglaxd. Grasox, and Campbell, were all making a hit in political life.
As their Inud, vulgar slmuting died away in the distance I I'ecognized another old boy coming down the street who was none othi'r than DEiir,. I hailed him

So we parted at Charles and lA>.\iiigton streets, and there J stood in sileni wonder, for the eleetrie wires were ail heing put underground and ]ireparations were being made to lay a pavenu'iit. Here 1 saw Smith, in an open sewer, gay and dehonnaire as ever, and handling a pick with the sami' hiilliamy and iioiiclialaii' e with whieh 111' had studi<'d law.
Continuing on my way I readied the court house, and ll.M.i.. doing police duty in the eorridiir. directed \\w to tln' pro|iei- coiiri.

Ik- replied, and tiie tone of his voice made me look at him more clo.-Jely. Then I saw that he was not unknown to me. Jt was l!i;i:vi:s. shockingly elianged, and stiekinir out of his ])oeket was a bottle, at which I looked with ill-concealed suspicion until he took the troulile to a.ssure me that it was hair restorer, he having graduatecl from the hair iamc stngv.
Meanwhile the ea.se advaneeci and I observed that witness after witness was called to prove that the defendant was of a fierce and uncom])roinising character and a dangerous uuin, the only evidence olfered in rebuttal heing that of Young, whose rough and lioisterous conduct on the stand showed him to be of a similar tyj)e, and discounted his e\ idenee.
Finally cauu' the recess for luncheon and amongst the crowd, pouring out of the court room, I met Thau,, who insiste<l upon /»///(;/// for my lunch, so we repaireil to a nearliy restaurant and ordered a suni]ituous repast.

Al sonic points of the ascent so far, the jiraile has iieen stee]i. and the road i-ouirh. hut all in all. Ihe vii'ws and scenes from the vanlajie points and liij.diei uronnd jraiiied. have well repaid for the dimhing. And now, as we raise our eyes ever upwards to the fToal. we realiz(> how great and iin]>ortant is the dimh still hefore us, and we know that to mount cmt u]iwanls will require cai-efiil, constant, and conscientious I'ffort. 'Tis true that there have heen many shadowy hy-roads to lead us olf the narrow way, and the way itself sometimes has seemed dark and gloomy, but with perseverance and ai)|ilication as our leaders, we trust to reach the summit in \\w lime; there to receive, as those before us luive received, sonic jiortion of the glad- some light of jurisprudence.
So much for- the luluie; let US stop for a moment and take an inve.itory. .\ story comes to mind, which |)erha])s corresponds with the thoughts of the reader. Ii is the story of a man taken in his last sickness — not even time for a non eupitave will. He sends for his pastor, and wl-.en the good man arrives, he says. " 1 am very sick, 1 have sinned much. 1 haven't long to live, and I want you to pray for \\\Q. Be brief, hut fervent."" So with us. if we cannot he fervent, we can at least he brief, and in order to he so, let us take up for inspection, sonu' true bills returned against ditfereiil mcmlicrs (d' the ("lass, as instances of the <liHicnlties, and trials that have beset us in our legal journey.
It has recently iieen learneil that our dear friend. M vi;k Siiiii\i;i!. wrestled forty- eight hours with the SO per cent clause in the Statute of l-'mi/.i. ami tinally decided, with several " Hy gums," to enter a plea in aiiatement.
liefore llu- recent mid-year examinations, ihcri" were a nnndier of peculiar ideas advanced in regard to tln' dilVere.it suhjeets. Mi;. Cokihiay asserting \ery strongly
130

that LoHU Maxsfield was tlic Imsband of good Queen Anne, and was bound by tlie tics of natural justice and lionest dealing. Mr. John P. about the same time tlirowing out the bon mot, that ]icrlin])s tlic lady in question was not quite as good as she was cracked up to be.
It was about this time too, that Brown, Haus. and Dryden. in a discussion as to persons capable of becoming administrators, advanced the idea that judges were not capable, because they were "71011 compos mentis," as decided by the Rules of Hillery Term.
One evening before lecture, Dunn stated that he had discovered a terrible bi'each of justice in regard to the equity court in Baltimore City. He said he had attended court that day, and had asked the clerk where the washroom was located. Thereupon the clerk called the bailiff, who was Edward Ejector, in regard to Dunn. Dunn thinks that not only was he greatly wronged, since his tuition is paid all to $17.00, but also that the wheels of justice are out of gear ; for he says, how can a man go into equity — without clean hands.
Several weeks since our friend Forrester was greatly shocked during one of JIr. Poe's delightful lectures. He says the honored gentleman seems to take delight in using the word Man-daum — us, and the following evening. When William T. C, the grand old man, after having asked his usual witty and learned question, and having received his customary vociferous applause, was heard to remark in a hissing manner, " Animalia ferae naturre."
Little Walter Hammond, our shining light on Peal Property, was recently asked by a Junior, "What is an executory devise?" He rendered the following interesting definition : " An executory devise, I shoiild say is a devise of such a nature, in other words, one which has not lieen fully executed ; that is to say, a devise which in some degree is executory.
In one of the recent quizzes on Corporation Law ^Ir. France asked Sullivan (a relation in the fifth degree to "John L.'' by aflinity, not consanguinity), a question, which "'Sully" missed on the first guess, and which 'Sin. France answered : "Sully" volunteering "Yes, sir; tliafs right. The answer you give is the one wliich was in my mind when I gave the other answer."
Before the examination on Testamentary Law, ^\■lnTI•;. Prince, and Wilcox were discussing the subject, when one of them (it is immaterial which one) threw out the following: " Yes, sir; I've got Testamentary cinched ; I'm ready for any question his Honor can hand out. By the way, there's one little thing I haven't got just yet, find that is the difference between an Executor and an Administrator." That same evening there was a report circulating in the library, to the effect that Hay'don and Lilly had been attending a number of Plenary Proceedings.
The class as a whole feels highly indebted to Messrs. Mudd, Wilson, and Clark. To the question: " When is.a marriage strictly void in ^Maryland? " they have evolved the following: "A marriage is strictly void in "Maryland, when a married man
131
TERRA MARIAE 1906
whose wife is still alivo, inarrlL's a sinjrle negro girl, wliit-li girl at tiie time of said marriage, is insane, and uniler the influenee of strong drink."
Our friend Maiuxk, one evening after a lecture in Pleading, put the following to 5[i{. Poe: "Ml!. PoE. I don't ask many (|uostions, but here's sonietiiing that has been worrying me: Suppose a young fellow, say a minor, is caught telling a shady story, is he liable in an action on the case for criminal conversation?"
It is said that Gaitiiek Jr., attireil in his spotless riding boots (generally known among liis classmates as the man with tlio fictitious horse), gave the following in his examination book in Criminal liaw: " According to the lectures from the desk, every question in this examination, is one, either of law, or of fact. If it is one of law, the courts liave decided it. If it is one faei. I prefer to leave it to the discussion of twelve sane men in tiie jury box.""
We now come to a scene, wliicli occurred in our exceedinglj* well ventilated lecture room, a few weeks since. Tragic it is: verging perhaps, towards the melo-dramatic. Alit. Poe was asking questions on Pleading, and Mauci's AiiiEi.ors IkiWE was called, 'J'he task of framing a jilea in abatement, and also one in ejectment was given him. ITe, the greatest lioman of thcni all, witli the full force and elo<iuence of his being, hurled the siiaft of defiance straight at the master's head, in those ever memorable words, muttering and liissing as they came, like volcanic gases struggling to be free. " ^li;. I'oE, I ain't never seen them pleas as I can lecollcet."
The following gentlemen have asked to be omitted from the .\cademy of Immortals. Here are their reasons:
Hawkins — " I'm afraid the fellows will call me Bill Xye."
EosE — " You s(r, old mnii. I just bad an operation ])erformod. and I'm afraid of a shock."
YouNo — '■ Weil, you arc ri^ilit : I have bicn iiiigiity lucky in selecting seats for quizzes, but what the quizzors and quizzes don't know — well, won't hurt them."
King — '' It's like this with nu', you sim- tin' (^nxcriior prints the examination ques- tions."
irAMii.TOX — " Jfy friend, I'm like the president of an insurance company, I'm not afraid of exposure, but I'm just as well olf witiiout it."
There are still some gomls not yet administered, but gentle reader, you are tired, and too much sometimes is plenty.
That the historian has acromplishcd the result intended is indeed douldful. iiy sketching the above little anecdotes and incidents concerning his various classmates, he hopes to have given a general view of the Class as a whole. If this then shall prove to be the case, even in a small degree, he will consider the ink well spilt.

Intermediate Class Prophecy
Last night I had a vision. Xot being sufficiently versed in the sciences, I am unable to give a nietaphvsical or pschycological explanation of it; and not having had the advantage of a course in our respected sister-department of medicine, I am not prepared to diagnose the case from a medical standpoint. I cannot say, therefore, whether this phenomenon was superinduced by an excess of spiritualistic tendencies, or simply by an over-dose of niince pie. I can only say that in this most interesting and realistic vision, I i-eceived a clear and lucid insight into the future careers of my co-sufferers in the law. The dark, impenetrable veil, which separates our mortal eyes from that Great Unknown, the Future, with all its mysteries, was sudenly rent asunder by some supernatural force, and I gazed with enraptured eyes, far into the dim vista of approaching years.
I will proceed to narrate my experience Just as it occurred. Upon alighting at Union Station, from a train bound in from somewhere, I know not where, I immediately proceeded post-haste to the lawyers" centre of gravity — the Court House.
I took a seat in the criminal courtroom, and instantly recognized in the dis- tinguished looking gentleman on the bench, no less a personage than our old friend Fowler. I arrived just in time to hear Iiini deliver a, charge to a newly impaneled grand jury, and the gist and Jjurden of that charge was a heated dissertation on the evils of the liquor traffic. My recollection of this episode is rather blui-red,
133
TERRA MARIAE 1906
but I remeinlMT iliat 1 laughed Iniidly. uml wiit; lliiMcii|><)ii iiiuia-iliatfly t'ji-c-teii Iroui the courtroom.
I made my exit from the courtroom in a latlu r ]\\\<\y manner, impelled bv tiio violent request of an athletic l)ailiff, and landed square in the arms of JIahk Shuiver, somewhat aged, but still wearing upon his classic features that calm repose, which so distinguished him in his earlier days. He told me that he was a purveyor of news to the general public through the medium of the paper which he owned, and which, I regret to say, contained a wide streak of yellow.
^Iakk luvd much of interest to tell nie aliout my fellow classmates. Judge of my surprise when he told me that Tom i)i;Mii;\ and scvoii Baltimore girls had gone to Salt Lake City and embraced the .Moinioii faith. Poor Tom!
I also learned from the same source that W.vlteh Ha.mmond had gone to Atlantic City for the summer, where he had broken so many hearts, that he was serving a term in a Xew Jersey jail, for the malicious destruction of jiroperty.
Eppler, I learned, had tried the practice of his profession, but. finding it an insufficient producer of assets, had opened a saloon, that being a business in which he had a wide experience. His beaming face and sunny disposition were valuable possessions in this business, ajid he would undoubti'dly have succeeded, but for one deplorable fact — he " took stock " too often.
Wilcox had a manicnring establishment with a large fenuile trade. You know what a cute little dear Wilcox used to be. " Oh. how we loved the angel-face that blessed our humble home." In fact, Wilcox is such an inspiration, that only a deep- rooted respect for my readers prevents me from bursting into a glorious (?) deluge of poetry on the subject.
It was with great grief that T heard that Si llivax and Troeger had gone out as missionaries to the South Sea Islands, had fallen into the liands of some unai)))rccia- tive cannibals, and had been lioiled, masticated, digested and forgotten within three days after their arrival. Poor cannibals! How liungry they must have been, or they never would have eaten Troecjer.
Rose and Lilly had opened a florist's establishment, and Woods and Forrester were doing a big real estate business. And still Shakespeare asks " What's in a name ? "
After having gleaned these various points out of .Mark Shrivkr. I took leave of him, and proceeded to visit some of the officers of such able and ilistingui.<hed law firms as Rowe and Haydox, Kealmear and Williams, and Willis. IIamiltox and JuDOE. I found them prosperous, and nearly all of these otfices were crowded to overflowing with Peters Plaintiff and Daniels Defendant, all clamoring for justice and exploiting their respective grievances in pure old .\nglo-Saxon verbiage.
I made it a special ])oint to look up my f>ld friend Cordray. the irrepressible, and found, much to my satisfaction, that he was grazing in the fertile fields of jwlitics. Here, he was in his element, with bis nnnsnal (uaioiiial abilities and bis witticisms, worthy of C. Depow himself.

CoitDiiAY toll] iiie tliat the only thing thai inanvil the serenity of his protitaMe life was the fact that Di'xx, his old chum, liail gone insane over the 80 {xt cent chui.'-o. After liaving interviewed every man, woman and child within a radius of ton miles, in a vain endeavor to he enlightened on the subject.
YorxG. the able young State's attorney, came into Politiciax Corduay's otlice, while I was there, to claim his share of the last twenty-four hours" graft. His share of the spoils was such a generous one, that in his exuberance of spirits he took me to the matinee. Before going, however, we went to White's lunch room, v'.here we enjoyed an excellent meal, with one exception — the eggs, which, like some of White's declarations, were " fatally bad." Youxg insisted that they were some of the very eggs which were thrown at him when he graduated, but I was ratlier inclined to think that he had acquired title to them by twenty years' adverse jiossession.
When we arrived at the theatre, Yoi'XG asked me to scrutinize the features of the leading man, and upon doing so, I found that he was none other than Leith. he of the commanding physiqiie and handsome visage. The show was called the " Fatal Wedding," and he seemed to be making a howling success of it. So ex- tremely popular was he, that he was wafted by the zephyrs of admiration over veritable seas of matinee girls, and, as he told me when I called at his dressing-room between the acts, it was a common occurrence for him to receive a bushel-basket full of scented notes in one day.
Rome, he whose oratory had power to soothe the savage breast and rend the heart of adamant, had at last, I was told, found a position suitable to his ability and taste. He was megaphone artist on a sight-seeing Baltimore automobile. As soon as I heard this, I resolved to take a trip in that machine; so I purchased a ticket, and took a seat next to him. I could see that he did not recognize me, and I determined not to reveal my identity until we were well on our way. He never did find out who I was, for five minutes after we had started I was too drunk to leli him. To those who know me, and are therefore familiar with the reputation I've alwavs had for soliriety and general good character (?), this statement will be sui'prising. It is, however, easily explained. I didn't tf)uch a drop — I simply sat too near the business end of that megaphone while IJoiiE was explaining the various points of interest, and — well, the megaphone is a great instrument, because it strengthens the breath, as well as the voice.
We were speeding along in that automobile when suddenly there was a blinding flash, and a roar; the gasoline tank had exploded! I felt myself being hurled high in the air, and then falling, falling, into abysinal depths. I shall never forget the horror of that experience. Suddenly I struck something with a crash, and upon sitting up and rubbing my eyes, I found myself in my favorite library chair, with Me. France's book on Corporations in my lap, and his examination staring me in the face. My vision was over!

Kind reader, may 1 ask you to stretili \oiir generous indulgence just a bit further? In my vision 1 saw tlie futures of my classmates, one and all, but lack of space forbids me to enter any farther into details.
Some of my old school-fellows I found to be great luminaiiis in the firmament of the law, revolving in their respective orbits witli daily acceleraling velocity, and always approaching, in their aerial flights, the great twin goals of fame and fortune.
A few I found who had hung out bright signs, and had sat down and watched the letters burn from a brilliant gold to a dark green. They had witnessed the slow and gradual ravages of worm and rust; in fact, they had witnessed almost everything except the face of a client. As they could not sufficiently lower their dignity to hasten after the fleeting ambulance their finances were in such a state, that they took their annual summer outings at the expense of the Fresh Air Fund. So you see, they could only say that, like the immortal Barkis, they were " willin'."
But whether rich or poor, successful or unsiieeessful. they were all good fellows —worthy members of the Class of 1007.
Prophet.

Junior Class History
That men are fl-itle awake to the a(lvanta>;es and possibilities of a legal education is evidenced by the size of this class of one hundred and twenty, the majority, sous of Old Marylaud. In these times, when industrial strife is at its highest, a man cannot be better armed for his struggle in life than with a thorougli knowledge of the law; and further, it seems it is one's duty to know the law.
The Class first assembled for work on the afternoon of September 23d, nearly filling the lecture hall of this famous old Law School. Mn. France, on behalf of the faculty, and in appreciable words, welcomed us to the University, and, introductory to the course, spoke on the study of the law and its values; for the six weeks following, he lectured before us daily, on the history and elements of law, placing for us the foundation upon which our future, at least our future in law, was to be built. " Debile fundamentuni fallit upits." All were interested and eager for the work, and advanced at a good raite; and coming to find how absolutelv essential organization is to society, felt it was time for class organization. At a meeting then held, class officers were elected, a committee was aj^pointed to arrange details for a " smoker," and several quizz clubs, and a debating society were formed, from which we hoped \CTy much benefit would be derived.
The smoker answered its purpose well, everybody having entered into it with that shipmate sort of spirit that makes university life worth while, and without which any class would be badly off'.
Meanwhile Mr. France had finished his course of lectures, and we had taken up Criminal Law and Domestic Relations. Having heard some stories from upper classmates about the criminal course, we had some fears, which, fortunately, were not well founded ; and it seems homicide, burglary, larceny and forgery were the only stumbling blocks of the course. The course in Domestic Relations was pursued with diligence and interest; especially interesting was the first sidj-division : Bni-on

.Vltogether we feel pleased with the year's work, and are happy at having chosen tliestudv nf the law. at the same time realizing that we still have very much work before us; but look more perhaps to v.-u-ation than to anything else. Some of us will have a good loaf, while it would lie hard to imagine some others even slowing up on the work.

One evening, shortly after the conclusion of the fnmous case of ex-parte Harlan, 1 east off the conventional mask worn Ity all those who have weathered the on- slaughts of a " bowery hash house," and witli a demeanor and grace that savored of the Parisian Latin quarter, wandered into tlie ]irecincts of the Athenaeum Booze and Quizz Club.
There did Jolly Bacchus reign king over all I As th.e " flowing bowl " made the rounds of the little circle, mirth, melody and wit waxed loud and high. The past was a blot, the future a blank — we lived only for the present, and the sparkling, ruddy wine. But on with my weird tale !
It was long past the midnight hour when I returned to my quarters, and crept up a half dozen flights of squeaky, rattling stairs to my kingdom, a ten by twelver, By the night's revelry, and the si.x flight clind), I was worn out, and methought I would rest a moment or two ere I retired for the night — that is, what was left of it.
Before the open fireplace stood an oldfashioned reclining chair, and as I wearily fell into its embrace, a sensation of exquisite l)liss passed over me. I yawned, stretched myself, and my head sank back upon the cushions, and consciouness left me. Suddenly I was aroused from the stupor, into which I had fallen, by the creaking of my chamber door, as if it had been swung ajar, and ere I had time
143

to turn my lioml niul ascertain who this nocturnal visitor could be, I was startled beyond power of expression to be thus addressed, by a deep, hollow voice: " Prophet of tlie Junior I-aw Chiss, know ye not the time is at hand wlien the stars should be consultfil and a (rue lioroscope cast? Therefore 1 have come to reveal unto you that whicli tiie future has in store, so that, despite the laxity of its clioscn propliet, tlic Class of '08 may not bo unn']ircscntcd in that bright galaxy of tlie craft."
As he uttered this salutation, the speaker slowly crossed to the opposite side of the room, and I perceived a tall figure with long, flowing beard and hair, clad in a robe of white, cinljroidered in gold and silver, and upon his head rested a tall tapering cap. Truly, a prolipet of forgotten days, I thought.
Watching him intcnth% I observed he was engaged in making mystic signs with Ills hands, while his eyes were cast downward. an<l then lie would occasionally raise his head and gaze steadily at the starry linnaniciit, which was visible through the parted curtains. Presently the ]>iingent odor of burning incen.se pervaded the room, and before me, a luminous mist arose, which grew srongcr in density and more lirilliant. until a white, da/./ling mass obliterated all else.
"Observe," instructed the magi, f(M' this is wliat I took tlie intruder to be. Even as this solitary enunciation escape(l his lips, did I behold a mirage of great splendor — a Grecian temple of majestic ])roportions, above the massive columns of whicli was inscribed "University of Maryland, School of Law." .\ group of students were assemliled before its ])ortals. posing for a class photograph, an<l upon a banner, ])laying freely in the liree/.c. 1 read tlie inscription: "Junior Law Class "SS." Scrutinizing the inii)osiiig aggregation of luichling legal lights, lo, I beheld that ancient wonder of wonders. \\i;iNi!i:ii<;. seated squarely in he center of the group, making good liis a.ssertinn "way lia(k in 190G, " Eef I can't git drew in dree years, vhy. Fll do it in dwentv-dree." .\nd another old phiz loomed up, Coffey, still liarlioring tlie idea that be was cut out for a lawyer.
My attentiiin was then attracted liy a tall figure that approached the "seat of learning" with the agility and grace of a giralfe. and by liis long, bushy locks. I nailed him as Kovcitoi-T. .Appointed to the faculty, he was lecturing on " Criminal Law, as I L^ndersand It," interspersed \nth lucid dramatic reviews, from obser- vations at the Bridge and the Cayety. By his side trudged Bartlktt. who had long since forsaken pedagogy, and had entered the service of the "professor" as a valet.
The vision grew dim, and fiiuilly faded away, but no sooner had it tlisappcarcd, when another took form, from an indistinct haze and became a clear and bright landscaj)0.
" Horrors! " I involuntarily exclaimed. Taldott. Busumax, and Pielert, com- manding generals of an ,\merican Army of invasion, had l)een captured by a tribe of dusky cannibals, in th.c lieart of .\frica, where these valiant and patriotic
144
TERRA MARIAE 1906
Americans were endeavoring, witli flowery language, to make them believe the United States was the only fit place for them to live. They were brought before the high and mighty muck-a-muek, and upon licing sized np were immediately consigned to the royal chef for roasting and broiling.
I heaved a sigh at the untimely end which had befallen these old, familiar faces, but quickly regained my composure whilst gazing at the ludricrous sight which now presented itself. The Circuit Court of Harford County was in full blast at Belair, that revered spot of Maryland soil, and a noted ease was on trial. Nelson had been indicted as a " rogue and vagabond," and his saw-dust brained counsel, Qdinn & Coyne, were addressing the court, the Hon. jMichael E. Pce, on a plea to the Jurisdiction of the court, on the ground that Nelson was an escaped inhabitant of Baltimore County. When they had finished their harangue, Spencer, now State's Attorney, produced Anthony Forsythe, and AVebster, who swore Nelson had no permanent place of abode, and upon this formidable array of testimony, the court fired Quinn & Coyne out of the room, convicted Nelson, and sent him up for six months. Jleanwhile, H.arwood, the Court Clerk, was snoring so loud that Jddge Pce dispatched Herbert to locate the saw-mill that had l.)cen erected during the course of the morning. Just then Coblentz came tearing into the courtroom, but the scene was disappearing, and I could not ascertain what he was up to.
"' Ah ! '"' I muttered joyfully, for the scene now before me was in old Baltimore. An open-air mass meeting was in progress at the City Ilall Plaza, and HAUfiir, the '' orator of the evening," was eloquently discoursing upon the many virtues of Democracy, but the assembled listeners couldn't stand for his brand of oratory, and long before he concluded his ranting, the crowd had slunk away in disgust.
The scene shifted to Lexington and St. Paul streets. On the corner hung a shingle labeled '" F. W. ^Ialders. Peal Estate Broker.'' The boss was standing in the doorway with his hands thrust into his pockets, sporting numerous diamonds about his person, and vigorously puffing a twenty-five-center. JIalders, at least, was making good as a land shark.
Further up Lexington street the scene travelled, and soon I was aware that the atmosplrere was heavily charged with harsh and jangling noises — Dawkins was vending the latest patented can-opener, at a " nickel — a half a dime — five cents."
The scenes then began to change very rapidly. I beheld a bum looking rum shop, designated as " Bedding's Music Hall,"' and the star attraction billed was " the silver-voiced Markell."' " Old man Jlike " was doing a slashing business on the inside — he couldn't help it — Sciiindler. Eckhardt, and Gaffin were lined up at the bar.
A Masonic lodge room then passed before me. George Hartman, blindfolded, was astride a greased pig. plunging wildly around for the prized gateway to the

Suddenly the procession stoppeil. and jx^erinj; into the fadinj; mist, I behchl the cause of the siuldi n halt of the pi-ocession. The lirni name " \Va.\m.\n I'v K.\tti;n." painted on a si>;n heneath he jiroverliial three jrolden halls, associated with a big tiarinjr poster laheled " Liher.-il advances to Maryland University Alumni," proved too murli foi' ihe niai'cheis. and from the way in whieli the ]iroprit»tors were nihhing their palms, il was nut <lillirult to infer they were doin<r a " land olliee ' business sheariuir the lamlis.
