Se'l^ If .fe(K SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS istoti) of tl)r Class of 1917 <^wa)d HE history of the Class of 1917 dates back to the fall of 1D13. ]^ The last h^riclav' of Seiiteniber of that vear marked the opening" c^f anc:)ther schocil year at C. U. On that day the old men met r^^^^^^ again and renewed acc|naintances, while nnmerous new faces ap peared, scattered here and there on the campu.s. Of cmirse ours w ere the new faces, and we were scattered. With a few exceptions we came here as complete stranoers to the older students. What was more natural 27 then, than that wc should wander aimiessh' around till wc met others in a hk'C sitnatidii. Out of such meetings ac(|uaintanccships sprang u]), and soon wc had cim- own circle of companions. .\.- kreshmen we were Freshmen. We came here with a willing dis])o- sitiou. cagci" to he adjusted to the secmir.gly coni])lc\ system of college life. W c knew that there was much to learn fr m the older men, and wc were lire- parc-d lo learn it. -\t times the wa\' w a.^ rough and diHicnlt ; at other times it was soft and wet—for e.\])lanatiou see "lUitch" ricnneit. lUit w ith.al wc sur\i\ccl our k'rcsh.man ordeal. With the coming of I )cccmher wc were organized into a hoiia-fidr class. The men favored in this election were: j. I'., .Mak.ay, I'revident: W . I', I )i-i-coll. \icc-l'rcsident: I'. D. ihirke, .Secre tary: r. j. .Monyhan, Ticasurcr: j. favanaugh, Ucprescntatixc. .Shortlx' after the clcclions ('hristm.as vacation set in, and school cares were h.anished from onr niiiicK. onl\ to return to u'^ again with the ;i]ipro;ich o| mir lirst mick\cars. W ID I will lorget the ]ilu,L;giin^ that w ;is done then, the e\cs that were strained, llic niidiiight Mil that w;is hnrned ? Hut then we were onlv a'uliitious l'"rcsh- men viewing with fear those mnch-talked-of mid-years. W I ;il ;i ch.angc of .attitude hiur ye;ii-^ ellccts! The hardened ."senior now looks u]ion exams as a m.atter ol course, and jiasscs ( ? ) them with a smile ( "•'). It was during these winter months of mir first ve.ar that ;i large room in the h.ascmcnt < d' (iihlioiis M;ill vv.is rcniodcdccl into ;i social center for the students. The Moor vv;is rep.iiuted. ;i ]>i,iuo installed, a ]io(i| t.ahle fitted up. and an .ahuudanee of lileiature ]ilaced ;it the disp(is;il ,,f the students. With these attractions to oiler, no FODHI on the c-ampus was more popnkar th.an this l^ver\' evening, immediately .alter ni;.;ht prayers, tin's rooin was the scene of much ])leasantrv. ri:cie were (. lem I'entoii and Hill l\\an at the piano: lack (roll), I ,uk'c .'''t.aplcton, ;ind jiinmic ('onion, jirodnccrs of divine harmony; Wish_\- Lane, the court jester; while ,\rt .Sullivan and Ivl'i ('avanaugh had X'enion Castle tied to a post with their clever dancing. These were the nights when cam])us lilc was worth while. It was onlv natural that around such an array of talent those inehned to dramatics sliould liuild u]) a college pkyv. .So, under the able Icadershii) of Poj) Blewett and Tommie Sterne the Calumet Club ])re.sented a college farce, sui)i)]emented by a minstrel show. The success which attended this production was due in a great measure to the loyal su])])ort given it bv members of otu" class. Charlie ]\liller as the chief of ]Kjlice, and .Sullv' as the messenger boy, displayed their dramatic talents in a very pleasing manner. While Rosey Burke, as Mrs. Rush, had several ladies in the audience firmly convinced that he was the only "real" lady carried by the com]jany. The "mys tic" Marr was at all times luaster of the situaticjii with his clex'cr acts of ledger- 28 main, while Jeff Cavanaugh carried off the honors with his eccentric dancing. With the advent of spring came the inevitable dominating influence of .spring fever, before which even the most indus trious fell. When we found it impossible if,.^ to study, and such occasions were not iu- frecjuent, we wended our way thnmgh the cooling walks of the Soldiers' Home, there to listen to the sweet strains of the Marine Band. Those were the days when youths' thoughts turned not to the problems of the classroom. But we were soon drawn out of this earthh- para dise by the approach of the final exams. In order to get into conditions for these we decided to hold our firstclas s bancpiet on Alay 4th, at the Hotel Con tinental. The management served a meal that was enjoyed by all present, and every man left the banr|uet hall with a better conce]rt of class spirit than he had before entering. But this lighter and more enjoyable side of college life had to be reluctantly brushed aside for more serious jiursnits—the final exams. .Fortified as we were by our experience with the mi(l-\ears, these were met and passed—by many. Once more the trunks made their ap])earance, while "Yenny" did a land-office business. Soon we \.-ere off to our respectixe homes, each carrying with him much of \alue growing out of his first \ear at C. U. Sophomore Year The coming of the fall of 1914 brought us together again. In the early part of October we met and chose the following officers to guide the activities of our second }'ear; \\. P. Somers, President; W. P. DriscoU, Vice-President; John Callahan, Secretary; T. Connor, Treasurer; and P. Cartright, Repre- sentati\e. Now we were all important Sophomores, heavily weighed down with the responsibility of guiding and directing the incoming Freshmen. That we were faithful to our trust no one will denv. As a result of our friendh' intercourse with the Freshmen a cane-rush was arranged by the upper-clas.smeu. Decem ber eighth was set as the eventful da}'. The few da}'s preceding this date were rainy ones, conseciuently, the "Athletic" field was in a very muddy condition. But this did not detract one bit from the determined piu^pose of each class to emerge from the contest the victor. At the appointed time each class gathered its forces on the field. The Sophs occupied the west end, the Frosh the east "' end. When referee Bill Ryan gave the signal the classes made a wild dash •I 1^ til •'!' " for the cane, each strixing for the ad vantage of first iiosscssion. h'or live ^ , minutes the battle raged, and w hen the i* -it oliicial count was taken, the l-'iosh were declared to have 13 hands on the cane to onr 12. .\lthough wc had good rea- :ou to iirolest the count, it stood as an nounced—bestowing \ ictorv uion the Freshmen, it was a grimy lot cd" war riors that trod back to the halls, there to remove tlic thick layers of mud from their jierson. .Since this contest ])rovcd to be the first and last canc-rush to be held at C. V.. it is fitting that the u.auK's ot those men iil l'M7 VVIPI h;iil h.'inds on the cane should go down ill the ( l.ass historv. Tliev were: \\. Fields, \, White, J. (i.allaghei", .\.

I'ait the soci.al event which vv;is \i\ stamp onr clas, .as a leader among classes w.is the So])homore (l.ass d.ance. This was h.eld on the evening cd' May 12th, and was judged by •all present to be the most successful informal d.ancc of the season. This evcnl w.as snciu lollowed bv the ])cstersi iine tin.als. which ,'iiiiioiiiiced ll'C close I o' :inMilier s(|i,i, ,1 vc';ir ,al (". V.. Junior Year .\s Juniors, we entered n])on the third lap of our Cuivcrsitv C'arccr. The reorgani/.ati. n of the class resulted in the election of Jolm ('allahan, Presi dent; W , Roche. \'ue President ; j. k'.. .McCarty, Secretary; .\. .\herii, I'leasurcr; and Iv P. .So;ncrs, Reiireseiitativ e. Ill order to bring to su.'face all the potential sjiirit iu the class it was de cided to hold the annual class banciuet carh in the season. The class set Xcj- V ember Sth as the date, and the Hotel F.bbiit as the place. .\ sumjjtuous re- ^t past was enjciyed. after which class mat- ^"zl ters were thoroughly discussed. .\s Juniors the big e\"ent for us was the Junior Prom. Plans were laid earlv 30 in the year, and to this policy of prepared ness and thoroughness must we attribute the success which attended the efforts of those who were charged with managing the affair. The coming of March 17th saw the in auguration of a new custom at C. U. On the morning of that day the students of the various halls, attired in grotesque costumes, paraded around the camjius to the tune of tin pans, cornets, horns, and anything, in fact, that could make a noise. Public sentiment among the students made it impossible to hold classes on that day set aside in memory of St. Patrick. Thus, another holiday was added to the school calendar, another custom started at C. U. senior Year h'or the last time we enter upon a new school year at C. U. The election which permanently shaped the personnel of our class officers gave the honors to Thomas S. Connor, President; Neil Dohertv, \'iee-President; William Cofifey, Secretar}'; Fenton Reill_v, Treasurer; and .Martin I hint. Student Representative. The social season was ushered in with the Halknve'en dance, given for tlie benefit of the 1917 (.".\RI)I N^.M.. Tlie details of the dance were in harmony with the s]iirit of the evening. On the evening of October 9lh, the residents of .\lbert Hall gave a house-warming in honor of the new men in the hall. Under the direction of our winsome "Tommie" Coffey as chairman a very pleasant evening was passed, which undoubtedly went a great way in dispell ing the gloom which generally haunts the new man at college. Shortly following the Christmas vacation our class held the annual Senior Prom. CcMiiing as it did, close upon the mid-year exams, many availed themselves of this opportunity to have one good time before the deluge was upon them. To dilate upon the ])art played by the men of 1917 in college activities would be to write a history of those various branches of student life. This is a subject which has been reserved for other parts of this volume. .\s our Senior vear draws to a close, we are brought to the realization that the davs to be spent together are numbered. That we have passed through the best davs of our life no one will denv. The pleasant memories of 31 •ru- ••*«.•- ~i ^a the pa.st will live with us forever, while the few sorrcnvs that were ours .arc now shadows of the jia.st. .\s we leave our .\lma Mater we take with us the training ancl clisciiiline of four vears of college work: to those behind wc en trust the customs, traditions, and spirit of old C. I'., with the one hope that they will be cherished in the future as we guarded them in the past. While we regret that the time has come which bids us sciiaratc and go forth, vet wc have no reasun to regret of our life and accomiilishmcnts while at (". C. .\nd in the s.atisf.action of a life well spent do we. the Ckass ,if P'l 7, reap our reward. 32 tniox iLa\D Class p ITIl the opening of the Cathcjlic University Law School doors, for the beginning of the 1915 academic year, there entered therein and enrolled as prospecti\"e students of the profession of ^^^^^3) law some twenty-five young men. It is needless to say that everv }-oung man so enrolled felt that he was sufficienth' pos sessed of the necessary cjualifications and attainments to solve the many intri cate problems found in the volumes of legal lore. How far some of these 83 ii 1 0 t 7 voung men missed their guess is but a liortion i if this storv. Having formed a siieaking ac(|u;iiiit- aiice and realizing the neccssitv ni class ofiiccrs. wc immediatelv proceeded to distri bute the honors in the lolkiwiug niaiiiier; to J'lhn \'. .Muiphv was the ofticc of {'resident given, for the \'ice-President of the class Lrank' Fahcv was chosen, as our Secretary Alon/o P. r.riivvn was called upon to exe cute the duties of this office, with Charles .\.

II 'I'lic latter ])art of ninctccn-fiftcen the class reassembled U> continue the jonrnex" tlicv had already begun. With sev e^'al of the bivs missing from our ranks, the class, at the fust meeting of the vear, decicled to ])rosecute with greater \igor the task before them. Luring the first few weeks of our second year's journev. the class, as a wh.ole, realized that as the jcnirnc}' increased scj, too, did the work they had undertaken. I'v conferring the office of Class President for a seccjud time u])on John \ . Murphv, the class went on record as acknowledging the esteem in which thev held him. To fulfill the office c)f \'ice-President, Frank Rogers, a gridiron warrior, was chosen. The honor of Secretaryshi]j was awarded to ?\Ir. Frank J. Ford. Fc.ir the office of Treasurer a X'irginia _\-')Uth in the o4 ft person of Mr. Henry Streat was selected. To the lot of Edward Toole, a Montana boy, the office of Student Re])resentative fell. The class, by redoubling their efforts, again assutned the honored and much coveted place as leaders in sc3cial activities. At our annual smoker, held December 6, 1915, the class was given the real treat of the year. The success of this affair was due in a great measure to the eft'orts of the coiumittee in charge of the same. L. L. Guarnieri, as chairman, was ably assisted by Messrs. Barry, Hamiltcm, and Matlack in the prosecution of the work as signed them. In the field of athletic activities, we were again rcjiresented bv such stellar lights as Fahey, Rogers, Murphy, and Straub. .\s an appreciation of the work done on the football field, Murphv was elected Captain of the team. Onr crack half-back, L'rank Rogers, bv his wonderful speed, together with his aljility to ])ick the proper boles, lovallv contributed to the success of the football season, h^or our success in baseball, we take off our hats to Frank Fahey. So modestly and secretly did h'rank conceal from his opponents his wonderful reserve fund of speed, that once his whi]) was loose and going at top speed, the boys found matter for wonderment at the lightning-like flash with which the leather sphere was served up to them. Lefore the mighty arm of Fahey such noted l)asel)all aggregations as Harvard, llolv Cross, and Yale were forced after much stubborn resistance to lower their colors. The dis tinction of having more frecjuently invited the enemies' lire than others for pilfering bases must be handed to h'rank l\ogers. It is a fair inference that our s])eed king, T}' Cobb, could never show his heels to Rogers. Cherishing the hojie of ex])erieucing another successful year in football, C. V. students, after carefully looking over the fieldselecte d from their ranks Paul J. Kennedy ni On the 4th of October, 1916, by actual count (maimed, wcninded, and cripples included), the class num bered sixteen in all. Suft'ering slightly from the wounds already in flicted, a goodly number of the class was called before the professorial staff' about the middle of October to have the much-needed remedies ap plied. .-V week later glad tidings were receiv^ed from the lips of the arbiters of our fate, when the eligi- 35 1 t 0 t r t-'^^fSr bilitv role for the degree of LL. B. showed sixteen names. With mir wounds jiroperly attended to, this little band of gallant warriors soon showed signs of rapid recovery from the unexpected conflict they were called to wage in the exams of 1916. It was then that the class firmly resolved to wage more fiercely and with greater prudence the coming struggle. For the vear 1917 the following young men were elected as officers of the class; Frank J. Rogers, President; Albert R. ^lulvey, Vice-President; Patrick J. I'lannery, Secretary; Charles Bennett, Treasurer; John V. Urbany, Reiiresentative. Tn social activities for the year 1917 the "Social Lions" of the class un animously decided that to John F.

Under the leadershi]) of Walter McPaughlin, President: Jc)se]jh 'fcjole, \ ice-President: Michael Shortley, Secretary: Pdward Brennan, freasurer: and John Greer, Student Representative, we showed ourselves to be good and generous hosts. This rather mcjdest attemjjt at hospitalitx- was well met by the upper-classmen, and we secured our place at once as a representative law class. 80 ~^. I Having jiassed through a successful Preshman vear, the majoritv of our men returned again in the fall of 1916. The new vear brought three new men to our class, 'fhey were Martin Dunn, Lewis Guarnieri, and Ralph PTamilton. Infjuiry concerning the whereabouts of the old men who failed to return re vealed the fact that Cf)stakis had transferred to Boston Law School; John Drurv was attending Cieorgetfivvn; Kerr and Heft'ernan were enrolled at George Washington Lhiiversitv; Reilly wandered to Xew ^'ork University: "Duke" Molina was stationed at Vale: and Joe Toole found refuge at Leland Stanford. 'fhe annual class elections gave the hf:)nors to William 'fiernv. Presi dent; Joseph Kelly, Vice-President: Ed Donovan, Treasurer: [ohn Mc.Mahon, Secretary; and Leo Brockbank, Student Representative. 'fhe live wires of the class .soon had a class banquet arranged, w hich was held at the New babbitt on the evening of December 2d. As is the custom, we joined forces with Junior Class of the College in managing the Junior Prom. 'HTC success which attended our cfimbined eff'orts will be attested to by any one who was jiresent at the dance. In the election of oliicers to edit the 1918 CAI^DINAL, one of our men, Joe Kelly, was favored for business manager. With such a choice for this responsible ])osition, we can rest as sured that the financial end of the book will be well cared fifr. Let it be noted in conclusion that our class has been well represented in the various forms of athletic activities, 'fwo of our men, "Mike" .Sliorllev and John Driscoll, have been honored as ca])tains of fontball and track, respectively. «1 I y lAil s^t 3funior Class l^oll SCHOOL OF PHILOSOPHY I'l.ORAN J.

To have access to all the paths on the cam])us, to be free from the amused glances of passengers in the street-cars by reason of atti-active Freshman cajjs, to be able to indulge in the fragrant weed at any time, in short to be free and to enjoy life, were pleasures that can be appreciated only by those who have gone "through 85 the mill" and experienced the inconvenience of fol- liiwing fVeshmaii rules.

It can lint be said, however, that our numbers in their effort to better the class, have been lax in their duties toward the school. In anv branch oi .-ithlctics \nu will find re])resemalives from the Class of 1919, and in manv cases vou will find them wearing that coveted "C" won bv them in their first year. We still have one social function to anticipate, and that is the .SojibfjiTTore dance, whicli is to be held some tinie in May. AWiile we can not give an ac count of it, vet it is a safe prediction that it will Ije a jironounced success. Such is the brief history of the Class oi 1919. .\11 classes have heard of our worth, and in passing from our Sophomore to our Junior year, it is cer- tainlv ])enTiissible to boast of the record we have made. 86 FIRST-YEAR LAW OFFICERS Class of 1919, iLa\D ISi^^ IRf^n with an intense desire tn olitain knowledge of a legal ~'' " ' nature, the nieml)ers of the Law Class of 1919 firstcam e together ou the campus of C.

WELCH 89 u <: H u OS til L'KESHMAN CLASS OFFICERS Class of 1920 I T was on the 26th of September, 1916, that we made our debut at the Catholic Phiiversity, Duly accepted and installed in our V^=^ new surroundings, we soon realized that instead of being a force ^~'- and power in cfur new environntent we were considered an un known, untried quality, forced to li\-e down our one heritage— that of being mere Freshmen. 'Po impress upon us our proper place in University life, the Sophomores took us in hand, and for the firstfe w days put us through a reducing process 93 ft 0 1 y| which was destined to turn us out a refined product, short of the proverbial Freshmen greenness. 'fhe memorv of these and other hnmihations rankled in the heart ot everv Freshman, and we were determined to scpiare accounts at thefirst op portunity. Soon their active interest in our welfare died down, and we con cluded that iieace was ours at last. P>ut what a hasty and unfounded con clusion this ])rnved to be! We were graciously informed that the Sophomores were to engage us in a tug-of-war. 'fhe scene ol this action was to be the lake in the Soldiers' llnine. .\t last the njiportunitv for which we had longed had arrived. So on the event t'nl d:iv, .Xoveinber .^, P'P), a sturdy band of PresfniH'ii "huskies" started nif fnr the scene ni cniillict. Our oiiponents li;id reached tliere before us, and were dr;ivvii u]) in battle arrav. Soon we drew ourselves in readiness fnr the test. flic sign;il fnr ;ictioii was given, and the op])osing fnrces ni.ade ;i mad rush to the rojie. First one side wavered, then the nther. While the rope slmwed its iieulr;dity by breaking in the middle. ( )iice iiinre the rn]ie vv ;is stretched acrnss the watery surface, and again we iiie;isnred mir strength niilv tn find that the rnpe was again too weak' for ns.

()nce nmre we baflled our ])sendo-i)recei)tnrs by playing them tn a standstill. fhroughout these early days we were an unnrganized grou]) of indi- viduids striving foi' recngnitioii. It was not until the 2d of December, 1916, thiit the much-snuglit-for recognition was granted us. .\t thisfirst organiza tion the fnllnvv ing men were honnred bv the class: C .\.

West. .Student Rejiresentative. .\ glance o\er the rosters of the various athletic teams will convince any one that the Freshmen have not onlv class s])irit, but col lege sjiirit as well. On the football team there apjiear the nanies cjf (ilascott. Prod- bine, and Mclntyre among those who won the coveted "C." In basket-ball our class 94 was represented l^y Cosby, Glascott, and Nugent. While from present re]Torts it ap V pears that we will be well represented on the baseball team. Do not imagine, however, that athletics is the only field in which the Freshmen are .-r.j^-- ••. ^ .-. ., '...... ^...^:,^...s--.. winning honors. Review the names of those active in the Shahan Debating Society, inspect the roll of the orchestra, survey the lists of the Dramatic Club, and you will find Freshmen orators, musicians, and actors of no uTean ability. If the future success can be judged by past events the outlook for the Class of 1920 is very bright, indeed, and their hope of being- a .e'enuine and important factor in the fe of the Catholic University gives every promise of realization. 95 ^ m 0 1 yfr ''^, ^ J^rrsl)man Class Boll SCHOOL OF PHILOSOPHY JOHN J.

POWER 9(i 1 t) t y t^l OFFICERS OF .ATHLETIC COUNCIL LJL Cl)e ^tf)letic Council O the Athletic Council falls the greatest amount of work in shaping the destinj- of athletics at Catholic University. Looking after the athletics of a univer sity is c|uite an extensive proposition, especially under the elahorate system under which athletics are conducted. The financial difficulties attendant upon the continuation of collegiate schedules must he met and overcome. This alone calling for considerable time and labor. In addition, the eligibility rules must be established; and then comes the hardest point, that of enforcing the rules. Many times the various teams have felt the iron hand of faculty restriction as to the eligibility of players. These are only a few of the tasks with which the .\thlctic Council must deal. On the Council board there are three faculty members and two student representatives, the latter being elected by the Athletic Association. The faculty members are appointed by the Rector. One of the faculty members acts as president of the Council, and one of the student members is elected to lill the office of secretary. To Dr. Healy, the president, is due the thanks of every person interested in the athletic activities of the Catholic University. He has been presiclent since the Council was first organized, and his continuance in that position is proof of the recognition of his worth. Mr. Connor has been a faculty representative for live vears, and, although entrusted with one of the most delicate duties of the Council (direct supervision of eli.nibility ), he has always been right on the job to boost athletics, but imt ,-it the expense of studies. Mr. Kennedy, the third faculty member, has the interest of C'. I', at heart, and we know that he will act for the best that can be secured for the promotion of Catholic University athletics. The two student members, Mr. John Butler and Mr. John Murphy, are men of sterlin.g C. U. qualities, working for the students' interests with unflagging zeal. THE CARDINAL takes this opportunity of extending the best wishes of the student body to the Council, and also of expressing conlidence in the administration of athletics at Catholic University. 99 CIFFREKS OF .VTHLETIC .\SSOCIATION t 0 1 y Ci)e 9iti)letic Association HE student body of Catholic University is more closely brought in tnuch with |j7^"j, the athletic administration through the existence of the .Athletic .Association. . —/--,^^-.=^ This organization is composed of the entire lay student body, and has done KSSI^B®B^ much for furthering the activities of the various branches of sport by both moral and financialsupport . The various managers and their assistants are elected by the .'\ssociation to arrange schedules for the diff'erent sports, and, so far, the men elected have been very successful in their duties. The Athletic Association and the -Athletic Council go hand in hand, the resiiltin.g har mony being conducive to a better athletic life in the LTniversity. The government of the Athletic .Association is in the hands of the students themselves. Officers are elected at the end of each year ancl assume their duties upon the beginnin.g of the next academic year. .At the meetings of the .Association the various matters of interest are discussed, and are accompanied by a great amount of spirit and enthusiasm. In evidence of this, we have only to attend a meeting when elections are due, or when some other important matter is up for consideration. The .Athletic .Association has ;i very secure place in the history and development of Catholic University's rise in athletic faiue. The officers for the present year are : JOHN J.

It won games from such teams as Delaware College, Maryland State, \'illanova, and Muhlenburg, which teams were wont to trample on us in jirevious seasons. Onlv two games were Icjst during the entire season, tlio.se being to West X'irginia Wesleyan and Roanoke College. With the success of last year as an incentive. Coach Xielsen and Ca]TtaiiT Murjibv issued the call for candidates a week previous to the opening of school. It was particnlarlv pleasing to note that onlv four letter- men had been lost to the team—.McC'ue, Kerr, Costakis, ancl Bill Butler. Among the new material Coach Xielsen found stellar men in Munhall and Glascott working out for Bill Butler's position at right half-back, with Potter and White making them hustle for the position. Manning, a former Holy Cross star, and Roonev, were contending for McCue's right end i)osition, while O'Brien, O'PIearn, Straub, and Hart had longing desires for line positions. The first opportunity of testing the mettle of the team was on October 7th, when, by taking long chances whenever the opportunity presented them selves and showing fine teamwork for so early in the seascm, C. U. defeated Richmond College in its inaugural contest by a score of 34 to 6. 'fhe outstanding features of the game were two touchdowns bv Rogers and Butler.

U.'s delense was not jiut In a very good test, but their interference was all that could be desired, and gave evidence of being an important factor in the te.'im's success. ,\ week later, October 14tli, the success of the first game was repeated when t'. U. vv.dkecl away with a game from Randol])h-Macon, the score being 42 to 0. Ihe cnllegiaiis were forced to ])lav a defensive game throughout the cmitest, and were utterlv heljilcss befi re the line running attack of C. U.'s back field—Rogers, Shortley, Munhall, and John Butler. 'I'liev were adejit at steering jilays around the visitors' ends, or jilav ing havoc with their line. Shift plays and forward passes were used to very good advantage, and brought large gains, 'fowards the close of the gauTe, Coach Xeilscjn gave the second- string men a chance to demonstrate their ability, and Potter shcjwed to very good advantage. 106 Captain Cogbill, cjuarter, and full-back Randolph, were the individual stars for the visitors. The first real proof of the worth of the team, however, was shown the following week, when, on October 21st, C. U. jour neyed to Villanova, and, after a fierce struggle, defeated the Pennsylvanians 21 to 7. "Villanova having sustained a defeat the previous year, would have es])ecially liked to turn the trick this year, and that they were sincere is shown by the results of the struggle which ensued. C. U.'s scoring depended largely cjn long end runs from kick formaticins, mixed with line plunges. In the first ])eriod Rogers scored the firsttouchdow n for C. U. by a long end run in which his interference was ])erfect. Pater, shortly after the second period had started, Butler forced an opening into the Millanova line, and ran the remaining" thirty-five yards for the second touchdown. Villanova was now fighting desperately, but so was C. U., who was urged on liy a large delegation of rooters who had accomiianied the team. By taking advantage of every opening, C. U. again scored in the third period, .\fter Butler and Rogers had ])lunged through center for forty yards, Ihitler made a long pass to Rooney, who only had to step across the line, 'fhe three goals were kicked by Butler. Villanova's desire now changed from one of winning to one of at least scoring, and finally succeeded in doing the latter within the last few minutes of play. A\'ith the aid of line ])lays and a long run, they scored their first touchdown, and later kicked a goal. It was a freely-i)layed lii7 1 i^^^ game, and one which gave the tollow- » V^ 4^k 31^ ^''-"^ '^*^ ^'""^ ''^'•''' '^"^' l>lack team greal ^' J^^^^^lj^MS^ confidence. ^^^^JP 2Sth. when t\ U. was defeated by Pebigh at South P>etlilehein, Pa.

U. had some fresh men to send in during the second 1U8 half, as did Pehigh, results might have been different. Later on in the season this defect assumed larger pro portions. C. U. came back after the Lehigh defeat by tri umphing over Virginia Military Institute by a score of 16 to 14. Shortley made the first touchdown for C. U., and Munhall kicked the goal in the second period, 'fhis added to a safetv bv Greer in the second period made a total of 9 to 0 in C. P^.'s favor. \'. ^I. I. then took a Ijrace and two touchdowns were made in the third quarter, which, with the field goals, made the count fourteen tcj nine against us. .V strong finish,however , brought the score up 16 to 14 in favor of C U., when in the last ([uarter Munhall crossed the visitors' line, and afterwards kicked the goal. It was a noble finish to a game which was rather loosely played by C. U. 'fhe real wdiirlwind game of the season, however, was furnished bv Mary land State College the following Saturday. It was time alone which saved Maryland from defeat, since, when the whistle ended this exciting game, the ball was in C. U.'s possession six inches from .Maryland's goal line. It was one of the fiercestgridiro n battles ever fought on a local gridiron. For ward passes and drop kicks, couTingled with straight line attacks and dashing end runs, furnished a most diversified exhibition of football. For nearly two hours the battle was waged desperately with fortune intermittently grac ing the efforts of both teams, Init a savage onslaught by C. U. came too late, and the victory went to Maryland 13 to 9. The visitors w"ere anxious to avenge the defeat C. U. had administered last year. However, their cause looked doubtful when Rogers recovered a fumble and run fifty-four yards for a touchdown. This happened shortly after the game had started. Butler's failure to kick the goal, how ever, was balm to the Alarylanders. .\ little later 109 ^1 0 1 rif .--?»'• 11' k,_«^ i Brewer scnred for Marvland b\ making a drop kick Irom the thirt_v-fiv e-}'ard line.

(ireer, Rnmiev, and Ca])t. .\liii'])li_v held the C, U. team together, while Munh;ill and W hite m;iclc most of our gains. O'flearn's jiniiting w;is tbe feature, 'fhe game clearlv demonstrated the need of liaving a well-drilled aerial attack to bolster up the eftorts of a weak line. Rcnldy, whcj r:in the team in Shortlev's ])lace, did well, while r>rodbine and Hart, in the end positions, spoiled manv of the visitors' plavs. i* / The season of 1916. which had begun so auspiciously, ended with a rather disastrous de- teat by West A'irginia L'niversitv, by a score of 40 to 3. In a crippled condition, the team gamely withstood the attack of a better-balanced eleven. 110 »"" »'• I-' Shortley scored C. U.'s only points when he kicked a neat field goal from the twenty-eight-yard line earl}' in the firstquarter . After this we were unable to force our way into the hcjme team's territory, while they ran up a score of 40 points in the remaining periods. This game brought to an end a series of defeats, each of which brought home to every C. U. supporter the great need of developing second-string players, and then using them to good advantage. No eleven-man football team can remain intact throughout an entire season—the nature of the game making- such feat impossible. No atteiript should be uTade to depend upon eleven men, no matter how capable they may be. Much material was unavailable for use, because of the lack of arrangements whereby they might be released from late afternoon classes. Such provisicjns having been made, more men would be able to appear as candidates, and the team would thus be fortified against a repetition of the difficulties of the season of 1916. Shortley was rewarded for his su])erior work of the last two seasons when he was made captain for 1917. N^ext year will find the team with out the services of Butler, Murphy, and Rogers. Murphy proved hiniself to be a steady and consistent ])!aver whose every thought was bent upon the success of the team; he will be greatly missed when next season's call comes. During his three years at C. U., Rogers has worn the colors both in football and liase- ball. Always a brilliant player, Frank, by his presence upon the field,gav e a sense of confidence to his teammates; oftentimes he was not sent in until late in the game, and immediately the players took on new life, and the spectator, whose interest had been in the least passive, came to life. John Butler wound up two years' service upon the team, during which time he earned the reputation of being the best line plunger and steadiest player seen in these parts. The loss of these men will be quite a blow to the team, and their places will be hard to fill. Oct. 7: C.V 34 liichmoncJ College .... 6 Oct. 14: C. TT 42 Riindolph - Macon .... 0 Oct. 21: r.

We honestly believe that, as a whole, the team was as good as any college team in the country. "fhe firstcal l of the season of 1016 was sounded Februarv 22, when the battery candidates were ordered to report. From last year's team we still had Fahey, Croclcer, and Johnson, whose efforts nn the slab had often been demonstrated to onr satisfaction, 'fvvo new men. Penning and Kendrick, ap peared, and Charlev Moran soon ceased worrying about his ])itchiiTg stafl'. The catching cleiiartment had H. W. A\'hite, Rogers, and Barrv, all from last year's team. After being out for some time, the battery candidates had gotten a good start, and were jiretty well limbered up when the general call for candidates was issued March 7th. .Vmong the old faces to show up were .\1 \\'hite (Captain), Killion, Caff'rey, Rogers, and Harrington. With these men as a nucleus prospects for a good team were bright, especially with such men as Gallivan, ^PAIahon, Lynch, Cahill, and Rooney striving for infield positions: and Butler, Shortley, Greer, Delahunt, Heff'ernan, McCue, and Steve ]\Ioran all trving to demon strate their aliilities as outfielders. 113 ^ il t 0 1 jcij *- ^ t .MANAGER Sl'LLIVAN COACH .MORVN CAPTAIN EAHEY ( )iii' npcnin- cniUest with ( i.ilLiudet seemed tn instifv preliiiiinarv cnii- clusimis as tn the calibre nf ibc team.

Fahey and Jnhnsmi handled the ])itchiiig burden for ('. fj., and with the exception of two bad innings, during which all the scoring was done, the "X.'itimials" were liel])less. On ,\pril 1st. Ruck liill College was met, and for twelve innings the battle raged, l". U. linall\' emerging the victor. Both teams scored in the first innings, and from the third inning on the score remained 2 to 2, till the 1 Itli, when Rock Hill scored a run on a pass and a succession of infield bunts. In t . f . s half, with two out, Rogers was jiassed, stole second, and scored cm Crocker's hit. 'fhe game then ended in the 12th when .\1 White singled, stole second, took third on :\IcCue"s infield drive, and scored on Killicjn's single, making the score 4 to 3. AlcCue was the batting star, getting four hits out of six times up, while Butler and .\1 White fielded brilliantly. Schnn'diger pitched fine ball for Rock Hill, and w as ably assisted by Skrentny. 'fhe season, with two victories, had now been properly started, and the next jiroposition was to continue the good work already begun. As every 114 one was going in good style, we were not slow in making prophecies as to the rest of the season. On the 4th of April, Randolph-Macon was defeated .i to 0, while the next game, scheduled with Cornell, i had to be cancelled on account of snow. Saturday, April 15th, found C. U. engaged in a battle with Tufts' aggregation, and the word battle only vaguely suggests the nerve-racking finaleafte r a struggle which had lasted for eleven innings. Tufts' team, not having tasted defeat for two years, were fully intent upon keeping their string of victories intact, while the Red and Black players had decidedly opposite views, and came near ex pounding them successfully. It was a great day for a baseball game. Charley Moran's pitching se lection was Fahey. He worked brilliantly for ten straight innings, during which only two singles were allowed. In the eleventh he was touched up for two hits, which spelled defeat for C. U. It was one of the cleanest- and hardest-fought battles ever seen on the University field. Xeither team scored in the first two innings, but in the third Butler opened with a double and ad vanced to third, wdiile Al White was being thrown out at first, 'fhe firstru n was then scored when Whittaker, pitching for 'Pufts, made a low heave to the catcher, who let the ball get by him, and Butler crossed the i)late. In the sixth inning another run was shut oft' when Fahev was called "out" at the plate, being forced home. Tufts' first run came in the seventh, when, with two down, Armstrong was passed and scored when Moran let Carroll's fiv to right get past him, the ball going for a three-base hit. 'fhere was no more scoring" until the llth, when Volk singled to center and scored on Saunder's single, thus making the final count 2 to 1. It was a great pitchers' battle in which Fahey would have been successful had his team hit in any of the four chances that were offered. For 'Pufts, Whittaker was the shining light. Wi ' ," Another X'ew England team, Boston College, performed the next day, and was treated to a 4-to-O defeat, while Lehigh gave C. v. the same treatment the following dav to the tune of 6 to 5. C. U. had the game 5 to 2 up to the sixth inning, l)ut in that inning two hits, a pair of errors, and a pass gave Lehigh four runs and also the game. H. White batted well for C. U., while Yap was easily the star for Lehigh. 115 THI-: n.\R\',\RI) (P\MF, It was with this reccu'd behind them that the C.

Fnr several reasons this \ ictm'v w.as especiallv sweet, and .'ilthnugh tliere were no car sheds to illuiiiinate the sky imeiiiories of last season) still there was much reioic'iiig. On the next Saturdav, ,\pril 22d, Holy Cross took si)ecial ])leasure in administering a .s-to-() defeat to C. P'. Dminellan tor the "Cross," allowing only three hits, was aided bv .Xorton's fielding and Murphy's hitting. For C. V. both H. and .V. White iierformed well, while Kendrick worked hard on the firing line. 'fhe thcTughts of Holy Cross were soon forgotten on the following Mondav, however, when Yale fell before the masterful twirling of Fahey, who allowed them only three hits. Except for wavering support at critical times it would have been a shut out. The final score was 3 to 2 in favor of 116 C U. Fahey, besides ])itching brilliantly, contributed a single and a triple, both resulting in runs. For Yale, Walsh showed up well on the mound, while Snell's fielding at second was of the highest type. In an eleven-inning game, April 26th, C. U. defeated X'orth Carolina University by a score of 4 to 3, and this was followed by the defeat of Ursinus on April 29th to the tune of 4 to 0. Don Johnson performed creditably in the Ursinus game, while Kendrick worked in the Xfoi'th Carolina contest. The first ganie on tlie N'orthern trip resulted in a defeat of C. U. by Villanova by a score of 5 to 4. C. U. apparently had the game tucked away, but Kendrick weakened in the eighth, and with score 3 to 1 against them, Villanova scored three in the eighth and one in the ninth, giving them a margin on the final count. Shortley starred for C. U. with two doubles and a single. while Molynean.x showed up well for Villanova. After this poor start, Swarthmore proceeded to humble C. \J. by defeat ing them in a very loosely-played game by the score of 8 to 1. Onlv three hits were secured off Ogclen, the Pennsylvanians' twirier. For C. U. Shortley and Al White played finely,whil e Ogden and Captain Riffert starred for Swarthmore. Things took a different turn on the next day, however, when Pehigh's hopes of taking the .second game of the season from C. Lh was dashed to pieces. John.son and h^ahey helped each other in handing out a 5-to-4 defeat. Lehigh, always offering opposition in any line of sport, jilayed a good game, Fishburn and Winterheer doing especially well. Shortley's double and homer aided C. U. materially in bringing home victory. The next tlav found Boston College falling be fore Kendrick's brand of twirling. He allowed the Bostonians only two hits, the scoreboard showing the score to be 3 to 0 when the game was over. Then followed on May Sth as sweet a victory as had thus far been recorded, namely, the defeat of Holy Cross by a score of 3 to 1. Fresh after winning two straight games, and with the defeat bv Holy Cross early in the season looming" up like a mountain before them, the C. U. battlers had only one thought—victory. Fahey, pitching against his old team mates, was invincible, giving only five hits, and he was ably assisted by AlcCue's batting. 117 =Jf ^t 0 1 rir X'orton ])la_ved gnocl b;ill for the "Cross." fhere is an nlcl saying "lie wlm l;iughs last, etc."; am linvv, we laughed.

U,'s l.'iv or. 'fhis may easily lie construed as ;in .alibi, but such an interiiretation does not alter the t;icts in the case. C. U.'s run came in the seventh, when Harring ton singled and Km mev walked. When "Ixil" hit to the third baseman, the fitter tagged at I hirrmgtnn, but "Kil" reached first base safely. Shortley's single then scored Rooney. Boldgett's great work * ])rev ented scoring in the fourth,fifth, si.xth, and seventh innings, although C. P'. had men as far as second base in each instance. Besides l*"ahey's great pitching, Plarrington and Rooney's work was very good for C. P'., while Calhoun was of great assist ance to the X'avv. 118 On May 16th, C. U. travelled to College Park, Maryland, and defeated Maryland State College in a well-played game, the tally being 5 to 1. Kend rick was on the mound for C. U., and pitched splendid ball, keeping his hits well scattered. Har- ington and Al WHiite contributed fielding features for C. U., while Royer and Knode excelled for "State." The liaseball season was closed at Annapolis, Md., Saturday, May 20th, when C. U. was de feated by the Navy in a loosely-played game by the score of 7 to 4. Fahey was off' form for C. U., and soon gave way to Kendrick, who finished the game. The hitting on both sides was heavy, but C. U.'s errors were costly. White, Butler, and Rogers starred for C. U., while Fiske, for the Navy, took all the honors. All athletic contests between C. U. and the Middies invariably iirove to be contests in which keen comiietition and fine sportsmanship are greatly in evidence on both sides. Frank Fahey was chosen Captain for next year's team, and we feel safe in prediciting another successful season under his leadershi]). Baseball is one of C. U.'s greatest assets in the line of sports, and the seasons are few and far between wdien a inost capable team fails to represent it on the diamond. 119 CQ I ^\., ..^cg: || \yg,-|^ jj^ fjj,- gg ^],g Hiid-year exams with a loss of only one game, and that was a one-point defeat by the .Xavv'. .\mong the victories was one over Virginia on their own court, a feat not having been performed by another team in four years. The newspapers conceded the title to C. U. on the showing of the team u]) to that time, since the strongest teams in the South had been met and defeated, .-\fter the exams, however, the faculty greeted us with the announcement that three of the regulars could no longer represent the Universitv. This meant the loss of the championship, for with three substitutes playing, the handicap was too big, and, although thev fought gamel)^ we lost important contests to Washington and Lee and to Virginia. When Coach fvice issued the call for this year's team, the familiar face of Danny Keegan was missing, as Dan had graduated last June. Dan had been the mainstay of the team for four years, and his brilliant manner of playing has done much for the game of basket-ball in this section of the country. From last vear's team we had Cai)tain Cartwright, Caft'ev, AIc- Mahon, Gallivan, and Gi'eer, while O'Brien, Crotty, Glascott, Bligh, Cosby, and Brodbine showed up well among the new material. The prospects were somewhat dimmed, however, when Cartwright, Caffey, and Gallivan were prohibited frcrni playing by the faculty. Later, Alc^Mahon was forced to drop out so that Coach Rice was left with a squad of Freshmen to develop into a 121 .M.VNAGER NORRIS CilVCIl Kiel".

'fhefirst gam e after the holidavs was a defeat by the Navy to the tune of 35 to 13. fhe team showed clearlv the effects cjf lack of practice, 'fhe .Middies gave a splendid exhibition of teamwork, against which C. U. was IKuverless. Eighteen iouU were called against the C. U. team, and Calhoun 122 I made thirteen of them count, 'fhe number of fouls, mostly of a technical nature, showed the need of much hard practice. I Three days after the Navy defeat, C. U. lost a hard and aggressive game ! to George Washington, Both teams played a defensive game, and the out- i come was always in doubt. The score at the end of the first half was 11 to 10 against C. U., but soon after the second half commenced George Washing- | ton drew away, and the final whistle showed a total of 21 for C. P\ and 26 i for George Washington. Glascott and O'Brien put up the best game for ; C. U., while Almon played well for George Washington. ! C. U. again liroke into the winning column when the team went to Balti more, and for the second time defeated Loyola b}' the score of 30 to 24. C. V. took the lead at the very beginning of the game, and wei"e never headed. The ; work of Glascott and O'Brien stood out prominently, as usual. It is to be re- I gretted that a combination composed of these two men and the men of last year's team, vmable to play because of faculty ruling, could not represent C. U. Such a f|uint would be a worthy one, and would compare favorably | with the teams of former years. The apparentlv disastrous season thus far | strongly impresses u])on us the lack of iirojier athletic supervision. Gallaudet, in the second game, avenged their defeat by C. U. a month i previous. The game, as the score of 25 to 2i indicates, was close and bitterly |i contested, and although Gallaudet led 14 to 10 at the end of the first half, a | spurt by C. U. in the last few minutes of play nearly won the game. In this game, like mo.st others of the present year, our o])ponents got an earlv lead; ' and, although the C. U. athletes came up from behind, the spurt came too | late, and we were beaten. ' On February 12th, C. V. bowed to ^\'est A'irginia Wesleyan, the score being 41 to 23. But within the next ten days Ranclolph-^vlacon was beaten 42 to 13, and Xh)rth Carolina .\. & ]\1. was trimmed 25 to 21. Then followed two of the best ganies of the season, when Trinitv of North Carolina and George W^ashington both fell victims to the wonderful aggressiveness of C, U. Trinity, having trimmed Georgetown the night liefore, had lost onlv one game up to that time, but when the whistle blew another defeat kept com- pau)^ with the previous one. W^ashington and Lee, \'. ]\I. P, and Virginia had all been victims of Trinity. The two teams went at each other hard from the very beginning of the game, and they were going even harder when the game ended. The score of 26 to 24 shows how close the game was, but gives no idea how hard the playing was. O'Bi-ien, of C. U.. and ^Martin, of Trinity, were particularly in the limelight. The G. ^V. P^ game was played on Februarv 19th, and closed the season with a victory for C. U. The game was nip and tuck from the start, and was 123 Tl i I If witnessed by one of the largest crowds of the season. The first half ended with a score of 17 to 11 in favor of C. P'.

Rooney, (Glascott, Driscoll and Kean, in the respective order named, ran for C.

In the trianonlar meet with the X'aval .\cademy and Johns Hopkins, the Red and Black added to tlieir list another victory. Kean, .\llenhoff, Glas- 128 cott and Mulcahy proved too powerful a combination for their opponents. F. Mulcahy takes second place in the fifty,an d thereby contributes to the C. U. victory. One of the most sensational indoor meets held by the Eastern colleges for the year of 1917 was that staged by the Meadowbrook Club at Philadelphia on the evening of March 10, 1917. During the closing moments of a three- cornered relay in which Lafayette, Lehigh and C. U. participated the result was so much in doubt that the enthusiastic spectators by giving vent to their feelings caused the walls of the structure in which they were seated to tremble with perceptible vibrations. Kean, for C. U., suddenly flashed upon his con tenders such a phenomenon of speed that for a moment it looked as though the Red and Black would be proclaimed the winner, 'fhe team finished so close that the spectators were unable to ])ick the winners, but the judges awarded the decision of victory to the Pennsvlvania team, and by it lironght to a close one of the most successful vears in track athletics ex]icricnced by C.

While the game was a clean-cut victory for Johns Hopkins, we feel it our duty to say that the players of the home team are to be highly commended for the remarkable showing they made against such I trained and experienced tennis experts as their opponents. In the face of such odds, it is worthy of note that not a C.

Both Caff'ery and Joyce, of C.

Consisting of graduates of many different colleges and universities who strive to grasp the spirit ancl ideals of a new university, it brings here in exchange a realization of the meaning of the traditions of other schools. .Among the Eellows one may find students interested in every department, and this has introduced the society into general acquaintance at the University. Very pleasant relations with the rest of the University have been further perfected by the work of an el'ticient Entertainment Committee in obtaining lecturers who received attention and were enjoyed, being men of authority and reputation. The Fellows were further fortunate this year in being alile to give material expression to the interest which they have always felt in athletics at C. U. The varied pursuits of the L>llows, their limited numbers, and their close contact with one another form an ideal arrangement in connection with their studies. .A Fellow has as friends and associates men interested in other branches of knowledge, and this serves to counteract the tendency to narrowness which might accompany necessary specialization. But the education, aims, and common age of the forty residents of Graduate Hall make their life very agreeable. Their recollections then of C. U. must always be most pleasant, and a "P. G.'s" appreciation of the school is of the sincerest kind. The present officers of the society are : J. NELSON RICE, President Weymouth, N. S. JOSEPH P. BURKE, Vice-President Nashua, N. H. J.

This conimittee decided that in order tn understand present-da_v Irish problems a knowledge of tbe history of the country in the last centurv was indispensible. They therefore decided that fcir the year ]^)B)-17 the activities of the members .should be devoted to the studv oi Ireland's history from the time of the Act of Union (1800) to the present clay, and a ])rogram covering the chief historical incidents cjf this jieriod was prepared bv the committee. During the past year at the bi weekly meetings of the society several very interesting and instructive jjapers dealing with the events of the century have been read, and the discussions 140 which have invariably followed these papers have been of ecpial interest. Among the activities of the societv perhaps the most pi-ominent is the St. Patrick's celel)ration, at which in an intellectual and logical manner the true aims of Ireland's struggle for nationality and recognition were set forth. In conclusion, the society has to express its thanks to the officers and to all those from whom it received hel]) and encouragement. The success of last year is but a bright harbinger of manv vears' successful work in the .study of Irish affairs and problems. OFFICERS FIRST SEMESTER MARTIN A. HUNT PRESIDENT GEORGE A.

Beaux Arts Prrjblems are ever under way, and iictt infre(|uently the embryonic architects find themselves working in the early hours of the mornings. .\t stated times the members of the society, accompanied by the various professors and instructors, make tours of all the buildings in the city, in the ' course of construction, which in any wav might be of value to them in solving ' the problems given in the classroom. Likewise, trips to various cities and \ 142 i •1 " I Tl towns within a few miles of Washington are made, with a view of inspecting the planning of the cities and towns. During the past semesters these trips included visits to Baltimore, where the sewage plant was inspected, and also to the famous brickyard in Virginia. The crowning feature of the work of the society is the exhibit shown at the end of the school year. Competition is very keen throughout the semesters because of the prizes at stake, and as a result the work turned out is of a very high standard as any one who has witnessed the exhibits in past years can testify.

C. 150 1 0 1 yi^ On these inspection trips the students are brought face to face with the industrial processes of which they study in the classroom. These trips serve the purpose of keeping the students in close contact with the practical side of their jjrofession. Nor do these mark the limitation of the activities of the society. During the course of the year men of prominence in the chemical field appeared lie fore the society and imparted much valuable knowdedge to their hearers. Thus another milestone in the life of the scxdety has Ijeen passed, mark ing" a growth in numliers, spirit, and activities. MEMBERS FRANK D. BURKE WALTER D. LYNCH ALBERT G. SCHWARTZ JOHN R.

'fhe influence oi such ail inspiring demmistratinn can imt be overestimated.

And the measure of success which, he has attained is a fitting reward fcjr his efforts. 'fhe officers elected to guide the scjcietv through the year 1916-1917 are: FR.WK ROGERS PRESIDENT A. R, MUL\'EV VICE-PRESIDENT \\.\LTER ROCHE SECRETARY W. COFFEY TREASURER RE\-. J. FEATHERSTONE DIRECTOR That the work of the class room might be supplemented in a profitable manner by outside work was the aim of those students who organized the Dynairiics Society. That this aim has been successfully attained will be admitted by all who are familiar with the work accc^uTplished by the society. The meetings of the society are held bi-weekly, at which the members are brought into close contact with jiractical ]jroblems through the medium of papers prepared by the students, 'fhese papers opeiT uj) new lines of thought for the students, giving them a glimiise of the enormous field covered by their profession. It has well been said that knowledge is the outcouTe of an exchange of ideas. In the light of this statement, the Dynamics Society, serving as a medium for the exchange of ideas, is of inestimable value to the prospective mechanical engineers. The society has been benefited by the active cooperation of the faculty members of the department, who have done much to ])lace the society on a finn basis. Being men of practical experience, they are willing and ready at all times to unveil the mysteries which are knocking at the threshold of the students' mind for explanation. Their words are an encourageirient, and they act as guardians to correct the fallacies to which promising engineers are likely to fall victims. 'fhough voung in _\'ears, the work which the societv has accomplished well justifies its ])lace in the life of the mechanical engineer, and it is no idle boast to say that the information which has been diffused in the meetings will be an invaluable asset to the engineer of later days. What the future holds in store for the society is a matter of conjecture; but, judging the future by the past success, we can safely say that its present- day ])rominence will be increased many fold, 'fo worthy successors we leave the task of fuT-thering the aims of this society, that the Dynamics Society mav hold an enviable position in the activities of the Catholic University.
