More on the SMU Game Editor: Tell the fellows that they are no longer boys no matter what their age but rather men, Notre Dame men, and as sons of Notre Dame they are ex­ pected to act like NDmen at all times even in the heat of battle. The taste of defeat is always bitter, but win or lose, ND men have always held their heads high for they represent the finest school and the greatest traditions in the land. The ND men of today must remember that they represent the many great ND men of yesterdaj^ and act accordingly. Sincerely, Dr. R. J. Stierwalt, '50.

Known in Asia Minor An interview with Mr. Hope pro­ duced some interesting facts on the history and mechanics of the bagpipes. Ancient Israel, Persia, and Turkey knew the pipes; old Roman coins show citizens making melody. History relates that players in the old Roman days used to burst blood vessels trying- to make the pipes sound to the far cor­ ners of the Colosseum. The pipes were brought to Britain by the Romans, and spread all over Europe during the Crusades. Michael Conran in Tlie Natio7ial Music of Ireland tells of the pipes being used in Ireland in the year 800 to exhort warriors to greater feats of valor on the field of battle. Thus, the purpose of the -Fighting- Irish Pipers appropriately enough is to stimulate Notre Dame's football war­ riors on the gridiron.

An Outdoor Instrument The sound of the pipes bears a curi­ ous resemblance to excited human voices —the hearty, strident, martial inflec­ tions. Therefore, the instrument is staunchly advocated for outdoor ath­ COACH AND nPERS WITH HOPE letic contests, parades, picnics, festivals.

But what does matter is that Baltimore has a legacy of historical interest and background rich enough to make it one of the leading convention cities, has enough to make that big week-end there and in WasJiington possible. Since the student trip will arrive into the East early Thursday morn­ ing, you should have the greater part of two days for sight-seeing, as well as several evenings to pursue more uni­ versal pastimes. What you will find is a fascinating city of contradictions and paradoxes, of trim row houses and large private estates, of Revolutionary War forts and racetracks. And you will find a wealth of memorials, mu­ seums, and monuments more than able to keep you busy during your stay in the East. It is natural that a great majority of the most interesting sights are also the oldest.

A Towering Monument Baltimore's most famous memorial, for example, is the Washington Monu­ ment, the first erected to the memory of George Washington. Built of marble from nearby quarries, the monument towers to a height of approximately 200 feet. Begun in 1815, the edifice was completed in 1829 at a cost of $190,000. A museum in the base of the monument is open daily, and con­ tains relics of Washington, various weapons of the Revolutionary War, and exhibits of early Baltimore history. Also to be found in Mount Vernon Place, the monument's site, are statues of Lafayette on horseback and of Chief Justice Roger Taney. Baltimore contains many mementos of one of the first great men in Amer­ ican literature—Edgar Allan Poe. The tiny house which was the home of Poe at the time of his first success is still standing, there is a Poe monu­ ment in Wyman Park, and his grave Eastward Ho! can be found in Westminster Church­ yard, marked by a monument paid for by school children.
