Like an image on the waters, which is ever the GEORGETOWN COLLEGE JOURNAL same, though the waters ever flow, it r eflects the life and activities of Alma Maler by the facile pens of its changing writers.

Sarcasm, with its well-groomed but less dangerous companion Irony, has caused more destruction than war, more pain than wounds, more sorrow than deaths. In the wake of this fiery monster is strewn the wrecks of homes where the flame of love once brightly burned, the smouldering embers of the cottage in which true friendship ha d passed many happy hours. Sometimes, indeed, sarcasm is a m eans of defense. \¥ould that it were used for this purpose alone! But in the hands of man, it is made to serve the purpose of a bee's sting, a cat's claw, a snake's fang. As a man who tak es pride in the gun he loves to shoot, w ill be temptecl to display his prowess, so the sarcastic tongue, not satisfied with being used only when n ecessary, wounds and pains the object of its wrath. "A sharp tongue never mellows with age." More bitter it becomes until it finds a parallel in the story of the cruel Moor, who, not content with stabbing his victim, must needs increase the p ain by turning the weapon in the wound. (494 ) GEORGETOWN COLLEGE JO URN AL

In the prologue to many a domestic tragedy, sarcasm has been the main actor. Trivial matters concerning the household or p etty pecu­ liarities spurred on by a sharp tongue have estranged man and wife, furnished gossip for the community, business for lawyers. Life long friendships have been broken through the medium of sarcasm. The faults and weaknesses of one, exaggerated and divided by the irony of the other, have rent the bonds asunder. Perhaps sarcasm was intended as a means of conversion. But, to expect conversion through such a medium plainly signifies conceit in the user. He places his sharp tongue above sound reasoning. But when his race is run he will find that he has as many converts as there are St. Patrick's days in one year. Finally, the hereafter of the addict of sarcasm does not look particularly bright ifwe accept Herod as an example, for this wielder of the sarcastic sword has not to date been canonized. ROBERT M. O 'LONE, '18.

liE Black Moor was a dark, desolate, treacherous, thickly­ " ooded place. For years few human beings had dared to enter its forbidding gloom. The folk of the adjoining coun­ ~ try side said that it was haunted, and no amount of per­ suasion, no offer of a reward could induce them lo brave its ill-omened hills and valleys. Now it was precisely for this reason that I had decided to make it my home for an indefinite time. The doctor said I needed a change of scene and quiet if I wanted to enjoy a few more years of life. I had been spending most of my time studying law, and in my spare moments did some little writing. I had almost :finished a book that I was com­ posing when my physician advised me to give up the law for a wlulc. So here I was, a weak man of thirty, prematurely gray, in search of health and strength, with my few belongings and Flint, my guide. He was an old hunter, as true and hale and hearty a man as I ever wish to happen upon. But with all the loneliness and quiet of the Moor, time did not hang heavily on our hands. Flint liked nothing better than roaming aimlessly about the valley or shooting birds and squirrels or fishing in the creek that flowed near our cabin. I was busy with my book, and in my spare moments accompanied Flint on his ramblings. It was on one of these exploring expeditions that we met Dr. Condon, a rather peculiar, gray-haired old man of about fifty. He informed us that he was a scientist who had lived in the moor for some twenty years. He confessed to be much given to chemistry and studies of insects and animal life, and for this reason had made the woods his home and intended to spend the rest of his days there in writing a treatise on animal life and in Chemical Experiments. V·le put him down as a queer and rather week-minded old fellow who wished nothing more than to be left alone, and after inviting him to give us a visit, bade him good day. We had now spent a week or so in the forest and were beginning to think it a trifle lonesome and monotonous. We still took our daily walks about the valley and turned in early at nights, I was progressing rapidly with my book and was beginning to feel that I had received some benefit from our sojourn to the Black Moor.

(496) GEORGETOWN COLLEGE JOURNAL

One night- I should judge that it was about 2 o'clock- we were awakened by a startling shriek that echoed through the valley. It was one of those cries that one might imagine as issuing from the depths of hell-a shrill, piercing wail that reverberated over the hills. We were both wide awake in a moment, lit the light and listened. And as we sat there in our beds, straining our ears to- there it was again, the shriek of a wild, terror-stricken creature, half like the cry of an animal, yet with the note of a human voice in its unnerving wail. We both rushed to the door and opened it just as a black figure dashed past about twenty yards away. By the feeble light that shone from with­ in our cabin we were not certain whether it was a man or an animal. Then, as it flew down the valley, it uttered another of those piercing cries and disappear ed from view. We heard nothing more of the thing for the rest of that night, nor did sleep r efresh our agitated minds. Flint and I vainly spent the next morning in trying to come to some solution as to what sort of a monster it could have been that had dis­ turbed us. We could only make vague guesses. That it was a man we felt practically certain was out of the question. If it was an animal, what kind was it? We could think of no creature tha t gave forth such queer, blood-curdling yells, so we decided to watch for it the next night and sat down to lunch. At eleven o'clock that night I went on duty to watch for the nocturnal apparition. I was to keep a strict guard until 1.30, when I should awaken Flint and exchange places with him. The sky was clear, though the limbs of the tall trees somewhat ob­ scured the starlight. It was quite chilly and lonesome out there by the door with nothing but my old rifle for a companion. No t a sound disturbed the stillness. The hills a little to the west raised their huge bulk toward the sky like some gigantic cat preparing to leap upon its unwary prey. The rough ground ahead sloped unevenly down­ ward, growing vaguer in the feeble starlight as it rolled away, till it was swallowed in the black darkness of the valley below. It must have been about one o'clock- I was too excited to note the time-that I began to consider the loneliness and forbidding aspect of the Black Moor. I was r ecalling the words of the nearby country folk that the place was h aunted when I heard a crashing through the thicket over toward the foot of the mountains, followed by one of those w ild, unearthly shrieks of the previous night. I was up a twinkling, rifle in hand, peering sh arply toward the hills. Flint was soon beside me cluth­ ing his gun. There it was again- that awful scream that froze the

(497) GEORGETOWN COLLEGE JO URNAL blood in our veins and made us grip our rifles with a .firmer hand. , Ve heard the thing forcing its way through the darkness, over fallen trees and the rough ground of the moor, now and U1en uttering tha t wild yell. We heard it climbing swiftly up the hill toward us and wailed for it in silence. Then we saw it! It was a bulky, black, heavy figure, with a body somewhat like a gorilla, but with a most ghastly, half-human face. In the dim light its hair appeared long and grizzly above a wild, flaring pair of eyes that glared evilly ahead. Its whole face was black and terrifying. Its mouth was wide open, showing a double row of sharp_, white fangs, and even as it passed us the beast uttered a cry that awoke the echoes of the forest for miles around and made us shiver uneasily in our places. It apparently did not see us, nor did it lake any noticr of us whatever, but passed quickly down the valley, screaming horribly, and disappeared in the opaque blackness below. With uneasy minds we made our way into the cabin. "\Ve couldn't sleep- it was physically impossible- so we lighted our pipes and con­ tented ourselves with trying to puzzle out what the mysterious beast was. W e talked till morning, racking our brains for a solution to thr enigma. But when daylight appeared through the trees, listless and vexed, we gave it up and went out for some fresh air. It was a beautiful morning. The golden sunlight tinted the leaves of the tall oaks and pines that waved their tops toward the glo\\ring sky. The rough soil was still wet with dew that sparkled in the sunlight. It was one of those mornings that fill a man with pure joy of living, but our minds were too occupied with the happenings of a few hours befor e to take notice of these things. W e rambled slowly along, speaking scarcely a word and thinking only of the midnight prowler of the woods. W e had r eached the creek and were to turn back when Flint uttered a sudden cry and leaped forward. I watched him run a few paces ahead, then stop and closely examine the ground with a critical eye. When I r eached his side I was amazed to find a peculiar footprint in the soft mud of the shore. It was large and long with the mark of five toes boldly outlined, doubtless the work of some large animal. Flint pointed out to me the r esemblance of the foot mark to that of a large bear. W e were pretty sure that there were no bears in this part of the country, but we resolved to see where the tracks led and thought we might find some clue to the mysterious beast of the glen. W e followed the prints along the spongy mud for some forty-five or fifty yards, and then they disappeared in th e water. W e were about to give up the search when we noticed a black obj~ct b ehind th e reeds along the bank and hastened ah ead to examine it.

( 498) GEORGETOWN COLLEGE JOURNAL

We were astonished by what we saw. There on the ground lay the dead body of Dr. Condon, disguised in the large, heavy, hairy skin of a bear, his face smeared with black paint and twisted into a terrible ex­ pression. His eyes were wide open and fixed in a wild stare. His limbs were tense and rigid; his hands clenched in a tight grip within their shaggy covering. He appeared to have deliberately drowned himself and been washed ashore by the current. We carried the body back to the wood and, in a secluded spot gave it a decent burial. Now, we thought, we need have no more fear of this queer beast of Black Moor. Now we saw why folks said that the place was haunted. Now we fancied we understood those weird yells that alarmed us in the dead of night, and a great fear was lifted from our minds as we saw the soil cover this stiff corpse.

EFORE entering the fold of the "Ancient Order of Knockers" it is only right tha t I should say a few words in- er- intro­ B duction- I almost said "apology." In the gentle art of "knocking,'' I must admit, I am bul a novice, a tyro, for I am ~ but a Freshman. During the past year I have encountered many different types of youth. I have gazed upon them as a crilic who stands off and views a picture, a nalyzing ils faults, admiring its merits; I have been the innocent victim of their wiles and lheir strategems. And so, after almost nine months of experience, I have gained a very fair opinion of these types and their characteristics. If my refl ection do not coincide with yours it is not my fault, nor is it yours- we have been impressed differently. First, because he seems to be the most prominent a nd the most dis­ liked, even if he is not the most numer ous, we will consider the "Spon­ ger." W e all know him. At one time or another we have all been seduced by his winning smiles or his cunning guiles. The "Sponger" is self-possessed and generally self-conceited. He has patience- plenty of patience. for it is very necessary. He is possessed of what we term a "good line;" h e will "borrow" anything and everything: shoes, shoe­ strings, dress studs, dress suits- anything. His course of procedure for "borrowing" money varies. Sometimes he will approach his victim and, after discoursing at length on many topics for, as I have said, he has " a good line," he will finally com e to the point: "Can you let me have a couple of dollars until Sunday?" Maybe he will say he is expect­ ing a check or that he has loaned out all his money. Oh! h e has many pretenses. The money obtained, h e soon vanishes. Sometimes he will proceed immediately upon the opera tion- his knife is k een and his ha nd steady. Sometim es he is humble and whining, seemingly embarrassed, at others domineering, whichever will go the furthest towards securing his end. His grand show of magnanimity is but one of his many tricks. a veneer which covers his inner character. Of coure, it is not a crime to borrow. Only he ·who is a habitual bor­ rower and who is extremely leisurely about r eturning or repaying is worthy, or more rightly, unworthy enough to be called a "Sponger.'' I cannot say whether this type is becom ing extinct or increasing. I do not k now. Let us hope it is the former. ,.,.. (500) GEORGETOWN COLLEGE JOURNAL

It does not follow that the "Sponger" is a "tightwad," but, as a rule, we do not see him esp ecially forward at jumping on the trolley first or at passing his cigarettes around. Next we will consider the type without whom the "Sponger" would indeed be lost. He is the easy mark. Pardon m e for seeming cru de or slangy. I know of no other appellation. He is that wherefrom the parasite gains his sustenance; he is the oasis in the desert of "want." Oh! you know him. Maybe you ar e one yourself. He asks no questions but gives wha t is r equested or dem anded. Most of this genius are what we generally term "a good fellow." To fall back upon the ever­ ready slang- h e will give you "the shirt off his back." But do not be led to believe that "easy marks and "good fellow" are synonymous. The latter draws a line over which only the worthy can step. (To tell the truth, I think I am contradicting myself, but- I am only a Freshman.) He is liberal, yes; but not to the degree of foolishness. The next creature to be dissected is the "bore''- that harmless animal which tries to b e agreeable and sociable but only succeeds in gaining the dislike of his companions. The "bore" considers himself to be the essence of wit and endeavors to h ave other s agree with him. Being unsuccessful, he becomes tiresome and annoying. He insists on talking more than is n ecessary and on remaining lon ger than he is wanted. In this category we must include the "pest" who, wh en you are about to delve into the joys of 0. Henry after a somewhat tedious evening with Euripedes and Homer, removes the b ook and demands with persistence that you talk with him 'till bed time. You gaze with longing eyes at the closed book and silently r esign yourself to your fate (for it is useless to protest) . He is like a mosquito tha t you cannot strike. The "crab" is the next subject to b e treated. P ersonally I do n ot think there is such a type as a "cr ab" since we ar e dealing with (those that are) the habitual. "Crab edness" comes and goes, like money. When at his best he is the king of "knock ers." He likes to disagree with others and dislikes to have others disagree with him. But we will leave the "crab'' until the time when we can gaze upon him in a better light. We see the "grind," whose light burns long after the strike of ten. He is indeed one to be envied- (we tak e off our h ats to him)- for study is an art. Whether it is inherited or acquired I do not know. In direct opposition is the "loafer" who idles away his time, accom­ plishing nothing, profiting n othing. When June arrives he wanders about relating his troubles to whoever will listen. What work he h as to

(501 ) GEORGETOWN COLLEGE JOURNAL do! But here I must correct myself: the real "loafer" does not care. He says: "O, I'll get through it somehow." I do not think there are many of the latter-the real "loafer." Before closing let me say that, though I dwell more on the bad, it is far outshone by the good. Yet, like the proverbial bad apple in the barrel the evil might easily spread. Fellow Freshmen, take heed and beware! Search well into the barrel and pluck that which is tainted!

My soul was thrilled, when last I heard the wintry blast, Roaring, it swirled and whistled through the wood, And drove the quiv'ring leaves in flight- so fast­ A tossing, tumbling flood.

At length from out my sight The wild wind took its flight O'er barren brae it shriek ed, o'er ocean blue, To vanish then f ram daylight into night Through twilight's purple hue.

Sounding a trumpet blare It sped, I know not where, Perhaps to moan its lot of misery With mingled cries and wails of wild despair Through all eternity. - H. D. Keresey, '18. -~

~ ~ H_E doctor's den was a curious room. It was a study, a private IC.? -r~ office and a museum combined. Books, medicine bottles and old china were its principal contents. Dust was thick on everything and great clouds of tobacco smoke hung from the ceiling. "Notice anything n ew in here since your last visit?'' asked my friend, the doctor. "New brass spittoon," I answered, looking about, "and a funny looking clock." "Very good," said my friend. "I got this brass affair because my old one leaked." "And smelt bad," I added. "True. But why did I buy that rummy looking clock now?" "To tell the time, I suppose." "Nonsense. It won't go. You know I collect old junk. W ell, when I was down at Darnell's the other day buying this cuspidor I noticed this ancient time-piece. I happened to open the door at the bottom- you see what I mean- and what do you suppose I found in it?" "Dead mouse," I suggested. "No, sir. A slip of p aper." I sat looking at my friend, the doctor, and he stood grinning at me. Suddenly he broke out in a loud roar. When he had wiped his tears from his eyes he walked over to a little table and opened a drawer. "You think I'm a nut, don't you?" he asked. "Anyhow, just because of that piece of paper I bought the clock." He took out of the drawer a dirty slip of paper and came over to me kissing it. "What's so attractive about that paper?'' I inquired. "My dear fellow," he whispered, "it tells of hidden riches." Of course I had a good laugh and called my friend all sorts of pleasant names. "That's right, laugh, you confounded big rube. You n ever could see through things." "Why. that's only an old piece of letter or something like that," said I~ still laughing.

(503) GE O RGETOWN COLLEGE JOURNAL

"Is that so," exclaimed Dick- tha t was my friend's name (Doctor Richard Ziller was his full title as I should have told you before)-"is that so,'' he yelled, shaking the paper at me. "Look here. Does that look like a letter? Does it?" "No, it does not," I answered, taking the little slip in my hand anrl turning it over and over. "What the deuce is it, anyhow?" "That tells the location of hidden treasure," said Dick. "See what it says." \Ve went to the window and made out the following: 3000 NTER. M T. CELAR. B 4 WIN- DO. 11111 LEG. ,v RIGHT. -+oo INN F UN-BON.

"Dick, you nut," I exclaimed, "this is a receipt or memorandum of a rather crude nature." "Think so?'' replied my friend. "\Vell, how do you figure it out?" "I have not had time to figure it out. It is sort of a short-hand. How­ ever, it is only what I say- I'll bet a cigar. "Dead wrong," chuckled the doctor sitting down at his desk and taking p encil and paper, said: "Watch this." I looked over his shoulder and saw him write the following: $3000. Enter empty cellar. Before window, advance five legs (steps). Turn to right two steps. Dig in to elbow.

"There you are," he cried, "that's the answer." "Sounds too much like Captain Kidd or the Gold Bug," I told him. "Nonsense, old fellow," laughed Dick. "W e'll go 'round to Darnell·s in the morning and see where he got that clock. Old Banjo Clock," he cried pointing to it, "you have seen strange times. Have a cigar, Buck?" he asked. "You owe me one but I don't care." Sure enough next morning Dick got out an old broken-down, battered­ up Ford of his and together we went chugging down to Darnell's, the antique dealer. "How'do, Mr. Darnell," said Dick. "Remember the banjo clock I bought day before yesterday?"

(504) GEORGETOWN COLLEGE JOURNAL

Oh, yes! Mr. Darnell remembered. "Where did you p eople get it?'' Well, let Mr. Darnell see. Yes he traded a table and four chairs for that clock. He got it out at E. Basker's Place. That was a tavern- yes, kind of roadhouse. "Ro adhouse, eh?" murmured Dick. "How far from town?" Well, let Mr. Darnell think. He should say twelve miles. Yes, twelve or thereabouts. "Much obliged. Good morning." Mr. Darnell wished him the same and put his finger on his chin and wa tched us depart. "Where now?" I asked. "Home." So we pattled and chugged back to the study which was a private office and a museum combined. "Now, I tell you what let's do," said my friend. "You never have anything to tie you down, Buck, and I h ave no practise, so suppose we run out to E. Basker's Place and look around.'' "Well," I responded, "I'll go for the sport of it but-" "But what?" "-if you start ripping up floors and nosing in cellars I'll beat it." "Never fear," said Dick. "The banjo clock and I will do the trick." Late io the afternoon my friend, the doctor, wound up his car and shortly we were bouncing and shaking along the road to E. Basker's Place. "No doubt," said I, "this fellow will tell you he got the clock from someone else." "Very likely," returned Dick. "Have you got any change? Here's a tollgate." An old man, bent with age, his hair snow white, stood at the tollgate house shading his eyes with his shaky hand. "Up the road to E . Basker's Place?" I said. "How much?" "E. Basker's Place? Twelve cents, gentlemen, one way. Thank you. Morning, gentlemen, morning." "Funny old cuss," r emark ed Dick. The doctor did not have much to say after this but paid great attention to the road which was full of lumps and ruts and to his car which was giving some back-breaking lugs and jerks. "Here we are," said Dick. "E. Basker's Place. Looks snug. Red cur­ tains in two windows. That's the bar. Two stories high. Made of stone." "Some shack," I r emarked.

(505) GEORGETOWN COLLEGE JOURNAL

It was dark and a light rain had started. :My friend ran his car under a shed. "0. K," he called. "In we go." As we entered the tavern there s tepped oul from behind some red portieres a wild, mysterious man. \Vilh one hand he held the curtain , while with the other one-in which he held a knolled tick- he pointed at us and grinned until we could sec the only two black teeth in his head. Wild, blue eyes glared a t us as the man shook his long, malted, red hair. His back was hunched which threw forward a pair of power­ ful shoulders. Black, tattered rags clothed his body, but he had no shoes and his bare feet wer e black and hairy. Continuing to point, he backed away from us toward the door we had just entered. Then with a wild, startled cry h e hurled the slick a l us and ran out into the chilly darkness. " God bless my soul!" said Dick. "Where did it come from?" "That's Steve, gentlemen," explained E. Ba ker. "He's harmless, he is." "Seems so," I remarked looking a l the stick. "Real playful," said Dick. "I'm glad I did not meet him on the road. My Ford would certainly have shied. "He's only half-witted, poor man," continued E. Basker. "Just run about wild. All the folks hereabouts know of him. Funny thing but he says he's dead. Claims he is his own spirit." W e got a cold, gloomy old room and, having washed up, came down to be fed in E. Basker's little dining room. A very pretty girl waited upon us. She was a little dream, awfully hy and all blushes. he looked frightened to death every lime Dick stared at her as he often did. "Pretty," said Dick. "Beautiful eyes. Good form. Some girl." When dinner was over we found out E. Basker and he look us behind the r ed portieres into what proved to be a large room, dense with pipe 5moke, in which several regular customers were sealed about a table. "Wher e did you get that banjo clock you tra ded to Darnell, the antique dealer?" asked my friend. "It was in the house when I took charge, sir," answered E. Basker somewhat puzzled. "Who lived h ere before you moved in?" I inquired. "Old man Snagg. Him as k eeps the tollgate back yonder. He Ji"cd here, gentlemen." "He's the man who lost his money, I suppose." remarked Dick. "Yes," E. Basker informed us, "he was rich, but he lost his monev." "The banjo clock hung over the fireplace there. Am I not right?'; "It did." F . Basker looked more perplexed than ever.

(505) GEORGETOWN COLLEGE JOURNAL

"I thought so," said Dick. "I can see where the wallpaper faded around it." My friend walked over to the fireplace. ..What do you keep in this safe in the wall?" he asked. "Nothing." E. Basker's eyes were dancing. "Old Snagg kept his money in there, no doubt?" "How do I know," snapped E. Basker. "Old Snagg never found his money, did he?" asked the doctor. "No, he didn't." "Who's the little girl in the dining room?" ''Kate," said Basker.\ "Kate who? Your daughter?" "No. She works here, she do. Kate Snagg's her name. She's old Snagg's gal." "Well, good night," said Dick. We went to our room. "You ask too many questions," I said. "E. Basker will suspect us of some underhand work." My friend did not answer but continued to undress. Suddenly he said: "Kate's some girl, eh Buck?" Then ·he got in bed. I suppose it was two o'clock when we were awakened. The rain was driving hard and we could hear the trees shaking themselves of their last autumn leaves. Someone was pounding on our door and calling loudly. "What the devil's wrong?" mumbled Dick sleepily. "House on fire?" l opened the door and saw E. Basker, a candle in his trembling hand, standing in the hallway. "What's wrong?" I demanded. "You friend's a doctor, ain't he?" he panted. "Quick. Steve has gone and went off in a fit." We dressed hurriedly and followed the flickering candle downstairs; through the r ed portieres to the bar room. E. Basker opened a door and a puff of damp, musty air rushed out. "Cellar!" exclaimed Dick. "Patient in the cellar?" "Yes," said E. Basker," he sleeps down h ere, he do." He lead us down the creaky steps and through the blackness of the ceJlar. He stopped at last and put his candle down beside a coffin. In the coffin lay Steve, the wild man, with mouth open and his blue eyes staring into the darkness. Dick b ent over him and listened. Held his pulse and moved his eye lids. He took the candle and h eld it close to the pale face and then put it down again. "Dead," said Dick. "Stone dead." We went up into the bar and sat down at the table.

(507) GEORGETOWN COLLEGE JOURNAL

"Who was that m an ?" Dick asked. "Steve, gentlemen. He slept down there in his comn 'cause he said he was dead." He bit his lips and fumed uneasy in his chair. "~ ow he's gone sure, has poor Steve." "Did you ever see that before?" Dick held the yellow paper slip he had discovered in the clock. "No," said E. Basker. W e watched him closely. No, he was telling the truth. He ha d never seen the paper before. As we watched him he turned deadly pale. His eyes started out of his head and he started up and pointed behind us to the cellar door.

He staggered up and crouched into a corner . He took Dick's hand and patted it. Ther e were tears in his eyes. "E. Basker," sobbed Steve, "he b eat me. He m ade me steal.

I put it in the old man who hung on the wall over ther e. He used to say tick-tock , tick-tock, all day long." Steve laughed again. "But no one ever came except E. Basker . It was hidden under my coffin funny-bone deep. He's a thief," yelled Steve. "Keep him away. He's a devil. He'll kill me." The tollgate is gone. The white-haired old man is gone. But crazy Steve still lurks about whispering: "Hush! Listen! I'm dead." The banjo clock hangs above the fireplace once again. The medicine bottles, the books and the old china now lend their dingy presence to the cold, gloomy room I slept in on that first night. The doctor's wife is a charming little woman and I often go out and spend the evening with them before the fireplace safe with the funny old face on the wall, which has long since ceased to say "tick-tock , tick­ tock," looking down at me.

Jnpularity nub tqr Q!nllrgr •au.

MONTERVILLE Q. EWING, '18. ARLYLE said, "Ignorance is quiet; Knowledge is quiet; but the transition from ignorance to knowledge is stormy." The C Freshman is willing to admit his ignorance in September E]"-'<./) but, by June, he is firmly convinced that his transition is complete, and it takes the remaining three years of his col­ lege life to get that idea out of his head . It is only when he has his college course behind him that he begins to understand what Plato meant when he said, "A wise man is one who knows how little he knows." In general, there are three types of college men. The first type is the man who sets to work stolidly a t his studies, firm in the resolve to derive the full benefits of his college career, to learn something, and to retain it; to prepare himself for life in the world. He usually overlooks as petty and trivial, the social life and the winning of popularity among his classmates. The second, is the man who looks upon the social side of college life, the friends he makes, and the popularity he attains, as, after all, the really big things of college. The third is the man who tries in a half-hearted way to serve both masters. The first two may be wrong or they may be right. At least they are playing their chances high. But, in any case, the third man is not only wrong but a fool in the bargain. He neither gets the education of the one, or obtains the friends, acquaintances or popularity of the other. He has one iron too many upon the fire, and in his vacillation between the two, he burns them both. A man cannot be Commodus and a gladiator at the same time. But it is of the second man, the popular man, that I must write. If we weigh the arguments between the two courses, the decision depends upon the individual. Each m an has his own life to lead, and if he fails lo steer a true course, or stumbles around chasing phantom, butterfly delusions, he has the responsibility. It is for him to choose, and when he weighs the arguments, pro and con, he will choose according to his personality and his walk in life. The latter has a ruling effect. If a young man has an assured future, he will see things in a different light from the man w ho must make his own way. He will be more appealed to by the joyous hail of good-fellowship or the oft-reiterated statement that "Your college friends are your lifelong friends.'' He strives for the fickle favor of the crowd, and if he wins it, h e follows the (509) GEORGETOWN COLLEGE J OrRNAL nod and beck of the false image he sees mirrored in its shallow depths. It leads him to forget that he is at the age when associations make their deepest impressions, and that one reason why he is at college is for the influence and characters of his professors to mold his mind. Instead, he molds himself on radically different lines. This image leads him to consider it a condescension to more than nod to a less-popular man or lower classman, and gives him a false impression of his own value that is destined to lead him up to a cruel surprise if he should have to make his own way. If his popularity be great enough, his educa tion is pro­ portionately small, a hollow skeleton, which only the glamour of favor conceals, and the glamour fades with time. But wha t need he care, if his future is assured, for there are niches in life, where a butterfly fits quite well. But for his less fortunate classma te, it is another question. The less fortunate classmate is armed and forewarned, and the image in the brook has all its efforts for naught. He knows that when he leaves college to start anew in the world, his success will dep end upon what he knows and what he can do, rather than on how popular he was, or how many freinds he had. Thus secured by necessity from the charms of the phantom, he sees with clear eyes Uiat the "popular college man" is simply a trifle of the crowd ·which necessity and circumstance ordain, but which the crowd throws away as soon as its usefulness is over. "This man is selfish when he serves only himself," you say. He may be, but it is human, and he were a fool if he did not. Popularity, while outwardly a great thing, is hollow and unsound. Let him seek for popu­ larity after he has made a success in his work of life.

OW I lothed him! How I despised him! Why couldn't he have gone somewhere else instead of coming around and H bothering me Here I had lived in peace for four years, , and to have his ugly, unshaven face intruding on my pri­ ~ vacy, haunting me by night and troubling me by day, was unbearable. W here he came from was a mystery to me. His name was another. He called himself "Old Ike," but Ike who, I couldn't begin to conjecture. He was as secretive a man as I ever wish to meet. He lived alone, in a little, dirty-looking cabin about three hundred yards across the moor. Never h a d he allowed me beyond his threshold, but he dropped in upon me at the oddest hours and left when he pleased. He and I were the only human beings for twenty miles around. He had come into the woods about a month ago, and he immediately settled down to make my life unbearable. He was a tall, thin, bony fellow of, I should say, about forty-three, with red hair and whiskers, a sharp, pinched, yellow face, dull, sheepish eyes, and aquiline nose. His arms were long and bony, terminating in huge, gnarled hands. The only clothing he ever wore was a faded blue shirt, a red bandana handkership about his skinny neck, and ragged, khaki trousers, stuffed into heavy, dirty boots. A broad-brimmed som­ brero hat completed his attire and he carried an evil-looking hunting knifo in his belt wherever h e went. His voice rasped unspeakably. His sharp, cackling laugh grated upon my ears 'till I longed to kill him. He would sit by the hour on the rocks in the hot, summer sun, as patient as a heron, and fish in the deep waters of the river that flowed below him. He used to rob my traps now and then, and when I accused him of the deed, he would laugh- that sharp, cackling laugh- and say nothing. He seemed to think it a huge joke, and held his thin sides with merriment. How he infuriated me! How I hated him! One night I firmly decided to kill him. He was becoming more un­ bearable than ever. He had been robbing my traps all week. His laugh sounded louder than before. I could not drive: his yellow, wrinkle face from my mind all night, so I sat up, thinking how I could best take his life. I considered shooting him, but that was too common­ place, too sneaking. I wanted something that r equired more thought, more ingenuity and some work- something novel, yet not too open. At three in the morning I hit upon the sort of thing I wanted. I gathered together my tools and a lantern and set out for the river. (511) GEORGETOWN COLLEGE JOURNAL

It was dark over on the rocks and the silence was broken only by lhe harsh screeching of an owl, a sudden splash in the waler, or lhe snapping of a twig in the woods behind me. I peered ca refully around, picking my way slowly and ca utiously, till I found the rock- a Oa t one jutting out beyond the others-on which Old Ike sat when he did his fl hing. I laid my tools beside me, lit the lantern a nd took up a heavy sledge hammer and a good sized chizel. Then I began to cut away the rock on which the fla t one was resting. I worked hurriedly, bul carefully, until a slight weight could have borne the rock down. Then I returned to my cabin and waited for daylight. At fi ve in the morning I tarted for the river again lo ·wa tch lh e drvelopmenl of my plans. My heart was beating rapidly, o fearful was I tha t all my work was wasted. I thought of the ga p and crie of Old Ike as he would fa ll toward lh c waler ; of lhe curse , lhe entrea­ ties he would call out; of his rage, his fear, hi despair. And I smiled to myself as I hasten ed on. I hid behind a large, gray rock a short distance from Old Ike's fishing spot and waited pa tiently. He would soon arrive, I knew, for he was always there around six. At a quarter before the hour I saw him shambling along, his fi shing rod and bait in hand. My heart leaped as he drew nearer. ·wha t if the plan did not--No ! It must not, it could not fail. On he came, smil­ ing to himself. How I hated him ! ,vhen he rea ched the rock he paused and looked around, grining like the yellow hyena he was. I could have thru t my knife into hi skinny body right there. Still he look ed about him. It was awful! Why didn't he go on! Al last, satisfied that the coast was clear, he clambered toward his doom. Then h e stepped on the rock. It wavered a bit. He tried to jump back, but was too late. With a wild yell, both man and rock disappeared over the cliff! Then I jumped from my hiding place to the rocks and looked about the stream for him. At first I was unable to find him, but in a moment he appeared, gasping for breath and waving his arms wildly. He cried out for help. Rage and fear were stamped upon his sharp fea lures. He told me tha t he couldn't s,.vim, to save him, to throw him a rope, any­ thing. But I only stood there and smiled scornfully a l him. He ank once more. After a silence of several long seconds h e ro e again. Again he implored my aid, he begged m e to throw him a rope. And as I stood then :- still smiling down at him, he cursed me with hi gra ting, ra ping voice. Then he sank, and the waters closed over his head. And I laughed aloud to think that he would never live to trouble me again.

ES, she was sure of it now. Someone was trying to open the dining room window! She could hear the faint creaking of the sash and rattling of the pane, mingled with low-mut­ tered curses. But no one could get in. The windows were all locked, she remembered, with a sigh of relief. But sup- pose he should cut the glass! Oh! If John were only there! The noise was growing more evident, seemingly nearer! With a low moan she rushed to the window, and, screaming with all her strength, "Help! Help!" fell back in a faint. Officer O'Rourke's visions of Irish stew were quite suddenly inter­ rupted. With a muttered "Oi hope she kapes it warum," he sped down the street as fast as his 209 pounds of beef would permit, blowing several shrill blasts upon his whistle. Nearing the house he perceived a dark form hurriedly rounding the corner. Puffing and laboring like a tired "nag" he persued the fleet­ footed fugitive who was fast drawing away from him. When he was about to disappear into the black shadows of the side street he tripped upon the curb stone and fell sprawling at the feet of Officer McMahon who immediately collared him. Together they finally managed to clasp the "bracelets" on the struggling and protesting prisoner. "One of those house breakers that's been pesterin' this neighborhood for so long, I guess," puffed capacious O'Rouke. Here the now pacified prisoner endeavored to break in. "Listen! I-" "Shut up," interrupted McMahon, "tell it to the judge. He's been pickin' on us long enough to 'nab' one of your fellows." Then turning to his brother officer: "Marty, you go in and intervoo the lady while I bring this 'guy' around to the Captain. Seems to be one of them slick individuals-one of them gentlemen burglars." "Will you please-" "Kape your mouth shut!" "But I-" mutterly weekly, the prisoner stopped abruptly on per­ ceiving the officers huge fist slowly close. With a word of caution O'Rouke departed toward the house while the other marched the protesting criminal around to the police station.

Oi said she had to or we couldn't prosecoot the prisoner. Then she ups and says : 'Maybe the poor fellow couldn't help it; maybe he was only hungry.' Them wimmin !" exclaimed O'Rouke in disgust. "Anyway, she says she'll be around in the mornin' to have a look of 'im." "Very well, Martin. I'll tell the judge of your good work. Good night or rather good morning." "Thank you, sor. Good night, sor.'' And we leave Office O'Rouke to the realization and the materalization of the afore-mentioned visions of Irish stew. At half-past eight Mrs. John Kinsell, weary-eyed and nervous, entered the station house of the Twenty-fifth Precinct. "Well, madam," asked Captain Morgan. "I've come to see tha t burglar that was arrested last night," she explained. "Oh, I see," said Morgan. Then turning to one of the men, "bring out the prisoner in 16.'' "Heally," said Mrs. Kinsell, "I don't think I ought to prosecute the poor man. I'd hate to think that I was the cause of sending a man away to prison. "Well, madam, suppose h e'd gotten in?" Shivering, Mrs. Kinsell nodded. At this moment the prisoner entered. With a look of amazement and joy the young woman flew into the arms of the "terrible house breaker." "John!" "Violet!" Greatly astonished the Captain here broke in: "Say! What the dev-. What's all this?" "This is my wife," cried the young man." I was called back to the office last night and told not to go to Boston as they made some other arrangement. My wife has the only k ey to the house.'' "\Vell, why the devil didn't you ring the b ell?" demanded the enraged captain. "I didn't want to wake up my little "birdie," murmured Kinsell, fold­ ing his cooing "birdie" in a fond embrace.

Dahlgren Chapel was the scene of beautiful and impressive ceremonies Sunday, May 9, when His Excellency, Archbishop Bonzano, the Apos­ tolic Delegate, solemnly received one hundred and four postulants from the professional schools into the Sodality of the Immaculate Conception. Following the Invocation of the Holy Ghost, Rev. Walter Drum, S. J., Professor of Scripture at Woodstock College, delivered an inspiring and fitting sermon. Treating first of the purpose and aim of the Sodality, he illustrated by example from daily experience and the age old custom of men that by homage and fealty to the Mother of God honor was paid to her Divine Son. In turn he decried the regretablc tendency of modern thought in its efforts to separate Christ the divine from Christ the man. With the statement that the majority of these ideas might be labeled, "Made in Germany," and later echoed in England and re-echoed in America, he proceeded to outline briefly the various Teutonic schools and the opinions in vogue there on the subject. Beginning with the earliest breath of Protestantism, he traced the course from which the present ideas had arisen whereby even professed ministers of Christ had com e. to deny the divinity of the God-man and even the very existence of Him they claimed to represent. Quite tellingly he brough_t out the fact that for the Catholic layman to attempt a study of these beliefs was to expose himself to a most virulent anti-religious infection, and the (517) GEORGETOWN COLLEGE JOURNAL

only remedy able to combat il would be an antitoxin of three years' Catholic philosophy and four years theology. His peroration was a most appropriate climax lo a masterful discourse, and he concluded with the famous quotation of St. Paul in defense of the divinity of the Master. The stillness of the chapel and the brea thless interest which the members of the Sodality paid to the words of the speaker fully attc led the power of his eloquence and the appeal of hi logic. Solemn Benediction of the Most Blessed Sacrament followed, with Rev. Aloysious Donlon, S. J., President of the University, and Rev. Thomas A. Emmet, S. J ., assisting His Excellency. The inging of the Te Deum by the members of the Sodality at the conclu ion of the cere­ monies was particularly noteworthy, the like of which has seldom been heard in the historic lillle chapel. Too much praise cannot be given to the efforts of Rev. Thomas A. Emmel, S. J., and Rev. Franci A. Ton­ dorf, S. J., who have labored most earnestly in the organization of the Sodality among the professional departments of Georgetown, and the fact that over two hundred and fifty members are now enrolled after only two years of its existence is ample proof of the good work they have accomplished.

This debating society has carried on its regular weekly debates throughout the month of April and into the first few weeks of the pres­ ent month. There has been no diminution of interest despite the warm weather which prevailed generally last month, and the program adopted early in the year has been carried along to a successful completion. From the records of the Secretary the following notes have been taken, and they tell better than mere words the ideals in public speaking which the members of the Forum have set for their society during the year: On April 10, 1915, the following question was debated: "Resolved, The Philippine Islands Should be Granted Their Independence." The affir­ mative team was composed of A. J. Adams, G. T. Barker and J. Huff. The negative team was represented by G. R. Pa te, R. Hildebrand ano J. M. Wallis. Both teams evinced a thorough knowledge of this great problem which has occupied such a prominent place in American poli­ tics for over a decade. The decision was unanimous in favor of the negative. (518) GEORGETOWN COLLEGE JOURNAL

On April 17 the question was: "Resolved, That Capital Punishment Should be Abolished." This debate proved very interesting because of the legal phases of the problem presented by the necessity of extreme punishment as incentive to obedience to law. The arguments largely centered around the discussion as to whether severity or certainty of punishment was the most effective means of compelling obedience. The affirmative, represented by Messrs. Heller, Baylies and Hogan, contended that capital punishment, because of its severity, deterred many juries from convicting in numerous cases where, if a life sentence had been the penalty, they would not have hesitated. In other words, they said, this Jeniency of juries has tended to permit many criminals to go free who otherwise would have been justly punished. The negative on the other hand contended that the fear of severe punishment was for those criminally inclined the best incentive to refrain from unlawful acts, and furthermore that capital punishment through centuries has been the only effective means of insuring some security at least for human life and respect for property. The negative was represented by Messrs. Hogan, Lange and Gibson. The decision was awarded to this team by the judges. On April 24 the question, "Resolved, That Government by Commission is Preferable to Existing Forms of Government," was debated. And at the last meeting, on April 31, the question was: "Resolved, That the Federal Government Should Own and Operate the Railways." Both of these debates proved highly interesting and instructive. All the mem­ bers took an active part in the discussions that followed the regular debate and many divergent opinions were brought forth upon these two great questions which have been for many years past, and still are, engaging the attention of the most eminent publicists and econo­ mists in the country. At the last m eeting during the business session it was voted to hold a banquet in the Powhatan Hotel on Monday even­ ing, May 24. A committee is now working upon this event and it promi­ ses to be a fitting conclusion to the work of the Forum during 1914-15. The Society will lose by graduation some of its most active members and their places have been accordingly filled by the admission of new members, among whom are the following: Clarence P. Dwire and Paul R. Sampson. In addition to these it is expected that more applicants will be admitted before or at the banquet. Mr. Andrus, President of the Society, hopes to be able to obtain a prominent member of Congress as the Society's guest at the banquet and also a member of the Faculty at the Law School.

The debate was on the question, "Resolved, Tha t the 'nite cl States Should Own and Opera te a Merchant Marine.'' The Senior tea m, represented by John J. Honan, of Massachusetts, and Joseph W. Albi, of the District of Columbia, upheld the affirmative. James P. Rossiter, of Pennsylvania, and Robert E. J. Whalen, of Massachu ell , composing the Junior team, defended the nega tive. The judges were Mr. Joseph D. Sullivan, Mr. James and Mr. William Miller, all members of the Law Faculty. To say tha t this deba te was carefully prepared docs not properly convey the high character of the arguments advanced by botJ.i sides. The affirmative dwelt principally on the very evident fact Uiat a merchant marine was the real foundation of commercial greatness and, moreover, tha t it was an indisp ensable auxiliary to the Navy in time of war. The negative on the other hand strongly contended with much force that this was a new and untried field for the Government to enter. They pointed to various examples of inefficient Government enterprises which, they argued, tended strongly to prove their contention that government ownership, in principle and practice, is unwise and un­ profitable. At the conclusion of the deba te the judges retired and re­ mained out for some time. It was evident to all presen t that the judges were confronted with a most difficult task. Mr. Sullivan a nnounced the decision and mentioned the fact that they were far from unanimous. They finally decided, h owever, that the affirmative had won the debate and that Mr. John J. Honan, of the Senior team, had won the individual prize. Mr. Whalen, of the Junior team, was the choice of one of the judges and was accordingly given honor able mention in the decision.

IDqe 3Jfourtq 1Jnter-~oriety !Jebatr. The fourth and last of the Inter-Society Prize Debates was held in the Law School Auditorium on Saturday evening, April 24. Owing to the hot weather this debate was poorly a ttended and the speak ers for this reason labored under considerable difficulty in being compelled to speak to empty benches. The debaters, however, must have had in mind the historic example of Charles James Fox, for the empty benches no more deterred them than they did that illustrious young ora lor in his per­ sistent endeavors to break into the select circle of oratory in the English House of Commons. The question was: "Resolvd, Tha t Congress Adop t a Naval Building Program of Four Battleships a Year for the Next Ten (520) GEO RGETOWN COLLEGE JOURNAL

Years.'' John Raftis, of Washington, and Francis B. Condon, of Rhode Island, were the Junior team and argued the affirmative. vVilliam E. Lovely. of Nebrask a, and John M. Murphy, of the District of Columbia, upheld the negative for the Seniors. From the very outset of the debate it was apparent that both teams were supplied with unlimited ammuni­ tion. John Raftis opened for the Juniors with a fusillade of arguments. Mr. Murphy replied vigorously in his turn for the Senior and the con­ flict was fairly begun. Whether it was the nature of the question or the natural combativeness of the debaters which produced the rapid fire arguments that followed, no one can say. The fact remains, however, that this debate was the most warmly contested of the series. The affir­ mative, in advocating its side of the question, insisted that the condition of the American navy at the present time is deplorable from the stand­ point of a comparison of its fighting strength with that of the navies of the great European powers. They further argued that the battleship was lhe unit of strength which should be emphasized most strongly in remedying this weakness. Incidents of the present war were not neg­ lected. The affirmative contending that the effective work of the Allied battleship fleet in reducing the Dardanelles forts and the equally im­ pressive action of the Japanese battleship fleet in demolishing the harbor fortifications of Tsing-Tao proved conclusively that this type of fighting ship is the undoubted guarantee of sea power. To these arguments the negative emphatically denied assent. Throughout the whole debate they persistently maintained that if the recent naval actions proved any­ thing they proved that the battleship, if not already obsolete, is at least obsolescent. In support of this contention both Mr. Murphy and Mr. Lovely dwelt insistently upon the inaction of the great English battle­ ship fl eet in the North Sea and the corresponding activity of the German submarine flotillas in the same area. From this they contended that if the Navy was to be enlarged it should be done by building the most effective fi ghting craft, and that was undoubtedly the submarine. Never for a single moment did they permit the judges to lose sight of this fact. In every speech, both in direct argument and in rebuttal, it was kept constantly in the foreground. It was not until the last speech in rebuttal that the affirmative r ealized that h ere was the central point of the argu­ ment and the one upon which the debate would probably turn. As after events proved it was then too late to stem the tide. Mr. Paul Lesh, in delivering the decision of the judges, said that they were of the opinion that the narrow manner in which the question was framed ha d put a tremendous burden on the affirmative which they had not quite sustained and consequently the negative were entitled to the decision. The individual prize for the best speaker of the evening was awarded (521) GEORGETOWN COLLEGE JOURNAL to Mr. Murphy. There was no dissent jn the minds of those present in regard to this decision, as Mr. Murphy's direct argument wa a spkn­ did effort and his r ebuttal was also well done. The judges wcr<' :\1r.

Shea, Recorder of the Carroll Club,rcports that his organization has been very busy during the last few weeks clearing the legisla tive business of lhc Carroll Congress. The variou committees have been literally swamped with bills during the year and have bcrn forced to work overtime to report them before the house for action. In the closing days of the Congress many of these bills haYe finally got a place upon the calender only by means of the insistent prodding of Majority Leader Whalen and Minority Leader Rossiter. These two gentlemen have employed every weapon known to parliamentary pro­ cedure to get bills in which they were interested before the members of the Congress for action. Due to their efforts much legislation was enacted at the last two sessions, but it was impossible even by their united efforts to clear the files of the committees and consequently many bills yet r emain to be considered at the opening of the Congress next year. On April 13, 1915, Mr. Baylies, Chairman of the Committee on State and Territories, reported adversely on H. R. X o. 10 providing for a new state to be er ected from a certain designated ar ea in Xorthwestern Texas and to be called the Stale of Jefferson. Mr. Baylies, in reading the a dverse report of the committee, called attention to the fact that the people of Texas had never been consulted in r egard to such a plan, and furthermore that this r esolution, in the opinion of the committee, was plainly unconstitutional and clearly not within the power of Congres to legislate. This report was unanimously adopted by the Congress without debate and the resolution was indefinitely postponed. fr. Ros­ siter arose at this point and requested that the Congress suspend further legislative business in order that members so desiring might addre s the House on the life of Thomas Jefferson, April 13 being the na tal day of that great American. By unanimous consent this r equest was granted and the following members addressed the congress: Rossiter, Condo!) Dervin, Field and Baylies. All the speakers r eferred in terms of prai:sl! to the noble life of this great American, and the undying principles of democracy which be, almost unaided, planted so securely in the con­ science of the American p eople and the Constitution of their Govern­ ment. At the conclusion of the speeches the Congress adjourned out of respect to the memory of Jefferson. ( 522) GEORGE TOWN COLLEGE JOURNAL

On April 17, 1915, Mr. Rossiter, for the Committee on the District of Columbia, reported favorably on H. R. No. 11 providing for the abolition of the so-called half and half system of taxation in the District of Colum­ bia. In reading the report of the committee Mr. Rossiter said that the members were unanimous in the conclusion which they had reached that the system of taxation now in vogue in the District was not only wholly unscientific from the standpoint of political economy and the practical administration of public finance, but that it was also grossly inequitable in principle and productive of most vicious tendencies in actual practice. It h ad, he said, produced a deplorable condition of highly artificial land values in Washington which had resulted in a most pernicious example of absentee landlordism and undesirable r eal estate speculation. These things, the committee sincerely believed, were the direct offspring of the half and half system of taxation and that there­ fore it earnestly recommended its abolition. The bill was placed on the calendar for the next meeting. On April 24, 1915, the Congress did not convene as the Club was engaged in revising its constitution. This was accomplished on May 4 and the revised form will go into effect next year. wqe JJuntor iebnttttg j;nttrty. The Junior Debating Society discontinued regular meetings in April and therefore no debates have been held during this month. The Society, however, h as met occasionally to receive reports of the Banquet Committee. This committee has now completed final arrangements for the annual banquet. Practically every m ember has expressed his intention of being present on that evening, and the committee promises to have one or two prominent speakers present as honored guests of the Society to address the members. In the trial debate for the choice of a team to r epresent the Law School in the joint debate with the Philodemic Society of the College May 12 the Juniors scored a complete triumph by winning all places on the team. Messrs. Darr, Whalen , Hogan and Mahlum were the choice of the judges and all have been active in the Junior Society debates throughout the year. This, together with the fact that the Society h as also won two of the Inter-Society Debates, is the best evidence of the success which has attended the efforts of the Society during the entire year. Another encouraging feature of the Junior debates has been the active interest displayed by members of the First Year Class who, from the first meeting until the last, have aided immeasurably in keeping t~e Society in the forefront of Law School activities. These members will form the backbone of the Society next year and it is safe to say that they will leave nothing undone to surpass this year's record. (523) GEOR GETOWN COLLEGE JOURNAL

The annual inter-collegiate debate of the year was held with the team of the Fulton Society, r epresenting Boston College. It took place in Gaston Hall Sunday evening, May 9. The hall was well filled when Chairman William M. Leahy, LL.M., introduced the question, "Resolved, That the Federal Government Should Adopt a Policy of Building Up a Merchant Marine by Subscribing for Fifty-one Per Centum of the Capi­ tal Stock of a Corporation to b e Engaged in the Foreign Trade." The Fulton Society upheld the affirmative side and the Philodemic Society the negative. The speakers for the affirmative side were Messrs. Edward A. McLoughlin, Francis J. Mahoney and Edmund J. Brandon. The speakers for the negative side were Messrs. W. St. John Garwood, Rufus S. Lusk and William J. Cullinan. The question was debated very brilliantly and thoroughly and all of the speakers, especially in the rebuttal, were very lucid and entertain­ ing. The judges were: Chairman, Hon. Robert M. Montgomery; Hon. Charles H. Robb, Dr. Henry J. Harris, Mr. Allen C. Clark and Mr. James Mooney.

The decision of the judges was that Georgetown had won by a unani­ mous vote. The victory was well earned and was especially pleasing to Father Toohey, who, as Chancellor, had spent so much of his time during the year in the interests of the Philodemic. The Arrangement Committee consisted of John C. McNamara, Chair­ man; Francis J. Connoly, '15; Gardner Duffy, '15; Loughran Daly, '16, and George Hamilton, '17. Music was furnished by the Georgetown College String Orchestra. The Reception Committee was headed by Chester B. Von Kamp, '15, who was assisted by Edmund E. Barrett, '15; John J.

The question, "Re­ solved, That the Honor System Should Prevail in All College Examina­ tions," was one effecting college life and one of importance inasmuch as many colleges are adopting this system. The affirmative's argument was contended by Mr. \Vm. J. Hughe , '17, and Mr. D. Louis Riordan, '17. Those opposing them on the negati ve were Mr. Richard L. Barrett, '17, and John J. Darby, Jr., '17. After a few r emarks by the chairman, Mr. D. Greth Gardner, the con­ test was on. It proved to be a lively one, too, and the sho,ving made by

wl}e Cla.atnn llebate. The first annual prize debate of the Gaston Debating Society was held Sunday, May 16, in Gaston Hall. James W. Rea, '17, Vice-President of the Society, presided. The subject for debate was, "Resolved, That the death penalty should be abolished in the United States." The speakers for the affirmative were Messrs. Thomas C. Mee, '17, of Rhode Island, and Edward J. Callahan, '17, of Maine. The negative was upheld by Messrs. Daniel H. McCarthy, '17, of Illinois, and Henry D. Keresey, '18, of New York. The arguments of both sides were well stated, each side having its loyal supporters among the audience. The decision of the judges was rendered in favor of the n egative although such a decision was not unanimous. In selecting the best individual speaker, the judges once again failed to reach a unanimous decision. However, the choice of Thomas C. Mee was a popular one and its announcement brought forth much spirited applause. Mr. Mee has been President of the Gaston Society for the past year and his recent honor is only a most appropriate closing to a most triumphant year. &eninr Nnu.11. KENNEDY HUTTON.

These notes will be the last Senior notes of the year and it is to be regretted that the class has not furnished more material. The reason is that everyone has settled into the regular and featureless life of repetitions. No one is willing to go out of his way far enough to furnish any excitement. The class baseball team goes on its way with undis­ turbed equanimity. It is certainly a veteran team from the standpoi~t that nothing worries anyone of the players, not even our doughty Captam "Scoop." Manager Schlesinger has given up the team in despair, declar­ ing that his constant cry of money is not harkened to. Strange to say no one has tried to impeach him for non-performance. John Petritz has entirely recovered from his long sickness and was able to be in class for the first day of repetitions. "Pet" would look very (527) GEORGETOWN COLLEGE JOURNAL learned if U1e skull cap lha l adorne his brow were black inslead of white. However, as he does not need a skull cap lo display his wisdom we will let the matter drop. Fa ther Gipprich was unfortunate enough lo be forced to undergo a o operation during the past month and so was unable lo complete the course in Geology. Father Tondorf cheerfully shouldered lhi la k, a nd with such energy that several of hi favorite "Sloodenl '' thought that they were back in Freshman Trigonometry. The examination in Geology is now over and the class wishes lo thank Father Tondorf for his a si l­ ance and lo congralula le Father Gipprich on his happy recoYery. The edilor wishes lo thank those who broughl lhemselYes into the lime-light during the past year and so furni hed material for these note . H e hopes that no one was ofTendcd by a ny thing tha t might haYc been called a personality, and if so, please remember that il wa done in a joking vein for the Joufu,AL and not for any personal reasons. In looking over the past year we see thal 1915 was well represented in all branches of college activities. Edmund O'Boyle succeeded Edmund E. Barrett as manager of football and equaled his classmate's record for efficiency. "Plugger" ~Iurray, as captain of last year's football team, though handicapped by injurie , proved a real leader and his presence was always fell in a hard fought battle. Golden, '15, and Barrett, '15, were members of the track team and "Shifty" covered himself with honors at the indoor meet. Johnny Shugrue was a star on both the basketball and baseball teams. George Roe gave Georgetown one of the best baseball schedules that he ha ever had and is especially worthy of men lion. "\Villiam Cullinan capped a long, brilliant career in the Philodemic Society by ,vinning the Merrick Medal and by being a member of the team which defeated the team from the Fulton Debating Society in the inter-collegiate debate with Boston College. Von Kamp, Shlesinger and O'Day were members of the debating team which defeated the Law School team. J ohn Conroy instituted and put on a sound basis the Pressing Club which has proved one of the most successful enterprises of the year largely through his untiring efforts. J ohn P etritz has had charge of advertising throughout the year and was first choice for center on the All-American Football Team by many experts. J ohn McNamara has proved one of the m ost capable presidents of the Athletic A socialion that the school has ever had. So taking it all in all it h as been a busy and pleasant year nod it is with feeling of regret that we ar e forced to say, Vale a lque vale.

One of the most pleasant events of our college career was our first annual banquet, which was held on the evening of May 10 in the Grill Room of the Hotel Powhatan. Splendid service, appropriate speeches and excellent music all contributed greatly to make the night one long to be remembered. Toastmaster Harry Kelly was in his happiest vein and all those called upon for a few remarks responded in true Ciceronian fashion. The class took this occasion to make a slight display of their appreciation for Father Toohey's disinterested and unselfish work in their behalf by presenting him with a set of breviaries. Too much credit cannot be given to the committee, composed of James D. Hishen, Edward H. Roach and Fred Flanigan who worked so hard and faithfully towards the night's success. One result of the convivial gathering was the spirit of good fellowship that prevailed throughout the evening and augurs so well for. a united and efficient Senior Class. On the morning of April 20 the Public Disputation in Major Logic of the Junior Class was held in Gaston Hall. The Honor of 1916 was ably upheld by Edward Sweeney who not only withstood the skillful objections of Francis Sullivan and Greth Gardiner but even brought fresh renown to the class by his logical defense of the Faculty's on­ slaught. By no means the least feature of this memorable exhibition was a well-prepared and excellently delivered essay on Scepticism by Thomas F. Gurry. As we go to press the news h as just been received that the class ball team has halted the victorious march of the Sophomores towards the class league pennant by decisively beating them to the tune of 10 to 3. With the addition of a new twirler, in the person of "Schiffini," the False Philosopher, to h elp the already overworked staff of Jed Curry and Joe Leary, there is r eason to believe that Capt. Flanigan's men will be in the heat of the struggle from now until the end of the season. ~ npqnmnrt Nutt.a. w. ST. J. G., '17.

The glad ha nd should be likewi e extended to the m en competing in the Dixon elocution conlesl, especially Mr. Dillon, whose ch ances for the m edal cannot but be regarded as la rge.

There has never been a May issue published in which the Editor did not voice his plaint of regret because he had to relinquish his post and make room for the incoming seniors. The present Editor agrees word for word with the sentiments of those who have preceded him in the past. He further adds that this work was made congenial and highly interesting by the deep interest which the Alumni displayed in sending news of Georgetown men and Georgetown doings. '72. George E. Hamilton, Dean of the Law School and President of the Capital Traction Company, recently gave a noteworthy speech to the members of the Federation of Citizens' Association of the District of Columbia. He began by urging upon the people of Washington a greater interest in the civic affairs of the District. Mr. Hamilton paid a glowing tribute to the men who had organized the Federation of Citi­ zens' Association and had thus made possible a forum for a free dis­ cussion of the questions that are of vital importance to the people of the District. In th e rest of the speech he outlined in detail the growth of the Capital Traction Company to its present position. His conclusion was a declaration of the true relations that should be maintained between the people of the District, the Government, and the Capital Traction Com­ pany. Mr. Eugene F . Arnold, of Washington, D. C., mourns the loss of his sister, Sister Mary Pia, of the Sacred Heart, Poor Clare.

'90. Frederick Van Dyne, American consul a l Lyons, France, died at sea. He was a member of the Society of International Law, a delega te to the meeting of Rio J aneiro in 1912 of internationa l juri ls lo prepare a code of internation al law for the regula tion of rela tion of the various countries of America, and author of "Van Dyne on Naturaliza tion," "Our Foreign Service," "The A B C of American Diplomacy" and numerous pap ers on diplomacy and international law. Peter Martin, ex-'93, died r ecently a l anta Barbara, California. omc months ago he m oved from his home in San Francisco lo Santa Barbara in the vain hope that he might in this way recover his fa t-failing health. Mr. Marlin's death was directly due to an accident which he received in a polo game in March, 1910. Since then he ha d been confined lo his bed for the greater portion of lhe time. Mr. Marlin was well known in San Francisco, New York and P aris, and his many friend in those placeB are mourning over his death. '99. Francis H. McCauley was recenUy appointed by GoYernor Jame F. Fielder, of New Jersey, lo the judge hip of the First Judicial District of Hudson County. The appointment is a valuable one, embracing as it does seven municipalities in the northern part of Hudson county and lasting for five years. The position was actively sought by four promi­ nent lawyers while Mr. McCauley made no active campaign. Hi new position may be regarded as a reward for his meritorious work in com­ pelling the Pennsylvania Railroad to pay some ."110,000 in taxes. It wa a valiant struggle and it bears repetition. For four years while it was building its tunnel, the Pcnnsyh ania Rail­ road never paid a cent in taxes to th ose towns of "\Veehawken, \Vest Hoboken, North Bergen, Secaucus and Kearney through which it passe . Mr. McCauley, who was Township Attorney of North Bergen, conceived the idea that the railroad should pay laxes on the construction work. The idea was immedia tely and strenuously opposed by the railroad authorities. As none of the assessors had ma de assessments against the railroad during the lime the construction work was going on, it was necessary to have a bill passed in the Legisla ture permitting the levy of back assessments. Mr. McCauley defended that law in the Supreme Court, wher e it was upset, and again in lhe Court of Errors and Appeal . where the Supreme Court ruling was reversed and the law sustained. The Hudson Dispatch, commenting editorially on this fact, says: " It was a fortunate thing for the taxpayers that there was so good a lawyer, and so persistent a fighter, handling the case as Francis H. :McCauley, for that $110,000 will come in very handy in these days of high taxes.

William M. A. O'Neill was lately notified by the Secretary of State of New York, Francis H. Huge, of an appointment as enumerating super­ visor of the First Assembly District of Orange county for the State census which is to be taken this summer. Mr. O'Neill is a member of the law firm of Wallace, O'Neill & Greaney, of Highland Falls, New York. Rev. Thomas Lantry O'Neill is chaplain of Newman Hall, the Cati10Iic Chapel and Library at the University of California. The purpose of Newman Hall is to give Catholic young m en and women at the University of California the spiritua l education that is wanting in their regular courses a t the University. Besides affording spiritual assistance it has aided the students in divers other ways; it has aided them, for example. in fi nding suitable boarding houses and in securing profitable employ­ ment; it has provided them with opportunities for recreation amid healthy and attractive surroundings and has been of great assistance to them in arranging their courses of study and general reading. That New­ man Hall is a r ecognized power in the student life of the University is made manifest from a statement made by Dr. Benjamin Ide Wheeler, President of the University. "Such observation as I have made leaves me with the strong impression that Newman Hall has been most efficiently conducted as regards the purposes it has in mind and that it constitutes a distinct benefit to the students of the University and to its social and moral life." Great credit should, therefore, be given to Father O'Neill, who has been a mighty factor in the success of Newman Hall. '04. Vic. Wilson, ex-'04, who took a prominent part in athletics and in the Glee Club, called at the College during the month of April. Vic. is practising law in Baltimore. His brother, Ewing, is engaged in the rail­ road supply business in New York. Sid. is a lumber specialist operating on the Pacific Coast. His place of r esidence is North Bend, Oregon. '06. George Paschal recently sent us a letter informing us of a change in his address from Tahlequah, Oklahoma, to Muskegee, Oklahoma. He also adds the fact that his father, George Paschal, who was a member of the class of 1876, lives at 413 4th street, N. W., Washington, D . C. The writer and his father are, respectively, the grandson and son of George W. Paschal, Dean of the Law School in 1876 and now deceased. Mr. Paschal, the author of the letter, says that his son George F. will be of the class of 1930 or thereabouts. This same letter conveys the sad fact that Kenneth F . Murchison, of the class of 1892, died in Muskegee last winter. '08. G. Fernandez Garcia has been elected to the lower house of the Porto Rico Legislature. (533) GEORGETOWN COLLEGE JO URNAL

Those who were present at the Yale game were Charls McLaughlin and John :\-Iori­ arity, both of whom are studying law at Yale. But it was in Boston that the baseball team had the stay and time of its life. The players attribute their good time in Boston to the zealou interest of Dr. John William Lyman, who proYed himself an enter­ tainer beyond compare and a h ost of hosts. His hospitality was royal in finesse and unlimited in extent. He took the players over to see GoY­ ernor Walsh and did everylhing in his power to make the slay worth while. Dr. Lyman spent several years at Georgetown. Dr. Murphy, father of Bill Murphy of the Freshman class, also entertained the team in Boston. '17. Adolph Marsh, of the Dental School, was married to Miss Lillian L. Gale, of Washington.

FRANCIS A. I. CONNOLLY.

There is such a thing as an embryonic essay or "sketch," which it would be good for many of our exchanges to cultivate. The "sketch" is a brief thought or plan, such as might fit in in the development of an essay or story, jotted down in nice style. In itself it is often too trivial to furnish the matter for a whole article, and, on the other hand, the author does not feel competent or inclined to develop it. However, it should be encouraged for several reasons. In the first place, it interests its author and others in the fine art of letters. Again, it may set the imagination of its r eaders to work, and, best of all, it has its own intrin­ sic worth. For it is truly a form of composition. It has, or should have, a beginning, a middle and an end. Consequently, it affords room for artistic development, and where there is artistic development there is ap t to be art. Now, since the end of art is to present the truth pleas­ antly, certainly if th e truth can be so presented in a brief little sketch, the "sketch" should not be discouraged. Several of our exchanges devote some of their space to sketches, and they are always the more interesting for it. The Acorn, from Meredith College, includes "sketches" under an individual department. We have not sePn this book in several months, and we are glad to notice it again among our exchanges. It contains several good essays and at least one good story. "Manorial Village Life,'' by Lois Johnson (we take occa­ sion to mention the contributor's name, as the effor ts evidently expended on the subject justify the exception), is quite a substantial historical (535) GEORGETOWN COLLEGE JOURNAL essay treating a phase of the social life of Britain during lhr m iddl e ag<·s. The writer has gone ra ther thoroughly into the subject, as is evident from the text as well as from the reference cited. The essay give a quite full outline of the circumstances and customs under which the people of England lived m any centuries ago. It is clear and forms ao appreciable picture of conditions. The style is direct and straightfor­ ward, thus holding U1e r eader's interest by continually telling him some­ thing. The one fault is m a de apparent in several of the hort paragraph , where an anxiety to cite from sources has forced a sacrifice of structure. "The Toil of Children," another essay, presents a phase of our own social existence which those not coming constantly in Louch with arc apt to overlook. It deals with the problem of child labor from an angle which, though neither novel nor the best, i very appealing since it seems to bespeak personal contact with the difficu lty and presents it sympa thetically. The author bas evidently seen these poor little unfortunates plying ilieir daily tasks, for such an appreciation can scarcely be gleaned from mere reading knowledge of the question. May our social scheme soon let us see ilie proposition in the light in which it is so ably presented in this article. "When the Freshmen Organized" is a story of college life among girls that sounds quite plausible. It is merely the narration of a simple event, but well worked out. "All on Account of Doris" and "The Inconsistent Mr. Smith" could both haYe been improved if their plots had been developed at greater length. The latter is insipid because of this neglect. The Hampden-Sidney Magazine con tains several good articles, most prominent among them being the frontispiece poem, "The Voice." The metre is consistent and changes once for the song of Orpheus from the tetrameter to the trimeter. The diction is expressively suited to the thought. The theme is worth unravelling : The poet passes from the city with the "cankering car e and strife" out into the silent vale where the "splashing waters swirl'' and "Nature's purest crystal dew" lies on the sheen. Seating himself "beneath the willow on a seat of Yeh ·et mould," he hears the voices of Orpheus calling to him from out the things of Nature. "And the mossy-fingered Orpheus o'er his lyre slowly wept" to him the "secret of winning, the secret of life-Ideal." The picture of Nature is vivid and true and naturally calls out much beauty. The song of Orpheus is very good, connoting m any of the successes and failures of history, though alluding to them only as vague generalitic . In this the imagina tion has been given a free r ein and the result are artistic.

(536) GEORGETOWN COLLEGE JOURNAL

Another article that attracts our attention is a critical essay on "Keat's Philosophy as Revealed in the Ode on a Grecian Urn." It is begun with a splendid encomium of the great poet. Taking the lines: "Beauty is truth, truth beauty,- that is all Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know,'' the author develops them by way of application and comparison. He closes with a brief outline of Keat's Ode and a generous discussion of the poet's character. Throughout the whole article there is shown a genuine appreciation of real poetry and its ends. One characteristic of The Labarum, from Mt. St. Joseph's College, is that its contributors do not possess that fear of utilizing space which seems to obsess so many writers among our exchanges. All of its arti­ cles have a mature appearance, because they are of a good length. "Characteristics of Primitive Education" is an erudite sketch of the sources from which our present intellectual perfection has sprung. It might be classed as an expository essay did it contain more individual thought. It is too close to the textbook. In the introduction the author, speaking of the history of education, says that "from it we learn to know and appreciate those master minds" which have influenced the develop­ ment of human thought, but no more pertinent application of the his­ tory of education is suggested. And surely in this day, when educa­ tion seems "cut and dried" for the pupil, the idea of how the human mind arose to many of the planes in which it now exists is highly impor­ tant. This phase of the subject would have afforded an opportunity for greater personal observation. However, the field treated in this outline is a broad one, and we must concede that it has been handled comprehensively. There is a good study of human nature in "Up at Lake Osakis." Only enough attention has been paid to the setting to clarify the picture and the narrative of the story has been barely sketched. But the characters are typical and well worked out. "Jim," "Behring'' and "Van Erpen" are the most distinct, though "McDowell" and the heroines are definitely traced. The one patch is where "Jim" p asses the honors on to the hero. "Montana," a poem, echoes the char­ acteristic abandon and bold beauty of that State's yesterday, still pres­ ent in its today, but which, with the "Westward, ho!" of cosmopolitan­ ism, may possibly be absent from its tomorrow. In The Loyola there is an intelligent appreciation of "Robert Hugh Bepson." The author dwells particularly on the aims and style of Monsignor Benson, giving due credit to his imagination and calling par­ ticular attention to that author's historical veracity. As for "TI1e Noise Absorber," well, isn't it queer that with so many young Tom Edisons (537) G E ORG E TOW N C OL LEGE JO U R NA L around no one has ever seemed to r ealize how perfectly natural it is for absorbent cotton to absorb sound. Now any genius might have stumbled over the idea of fitting a box up with a tin horn, a wad of absorbing material and enough levers to m ak e a silence machine sound plausible, but that is just the way with great inventions. They hang in the air where anyone might get them, yet somehow no one does until some lucky chap comes along. Then they call him a genius. Of course, the fact that it absorbed all the noise didn't bother u , because we knew there must be some good reason for not putting it on the market. And now that we're in the humor, why not let it out on The Chisel? We really don't see the sense of making the fly-leaf of a magazine into a bulletin board to accommodate the vanity of the member of the liter­ ary societies, the class officers and other local celebrities. But we had b etter cease here, because, aside from some flagrant foolishness on "The Strength of Onions" and a remark in the editorial column predicting that "when the war closes there will be such a rush of trade and com­ merce as one has never seen before," there is not much more of the senseless in The Chisel. The editor carries a strong point in saying: "We violate our treaty which we made with ourselves in the First Con­ tinental Congress when we depart from the faith and f eally of our fathers and fall away from the sacred duty of preserving high ideals and let 'the cheating yardwand,' not the decalogue, measure our a ctions:' This is, of course, anent the war. Aside from an overdose of sentimen­ tality in one end and an overdone makeup in the other, "The Point of View" and "The Native Call," taken respectively, might have been worth reading. The appreciation of " Alfred Noyes" is strong and well written. The best article in the book is a poem, "To You,'' which reflects the greatest depth of poetry, simplicity.

EDMUND E . BARRETT, '15. iasrhall. With the close of college not far distant, the athletic year is likewise nearing its end. But two more games remain to be played by the bseball team and the season will be over. Speaking about our baseball team reminds us that we have had a rather remarkable season this year- not exactly remarkable on account of the number of victories which the Blue and Gray has achieved, but at least remarkable in that we have won, and have won rather handily, from the so-called "Big Four," Yale, Harvard, Princeton and Pennsyl­ vania. On the other hand, we have lost no less than seven games during the season by the narrow margin of one run. If nothing else might be said, it would be sufficient to say that the team has been consistent. wradt. On May 8, at Baltimore, Eddie Stebbins again demonstrated that he is the best quarter-miler in the South. Captain Stebbins led his field in this event all the way and crossed the tape at the finish an easy winner of the 440-yard South Atlantic championship. Congratulations are also due Marshall Low, who won the high jump, and to Johnnie Campbell, who took third place in the two-mile run. On May 22 the track season was brought to a close by a dual meet with the Navy at Annapolis. (539) GEORGETO\VN COLLEGE JO RNAL

FORDHAM, 1; GEORGETOW~, 3. Georgetown pa rtially r etrieved il cH for lhe healing received at the hands of Holy Cross by defeating Fordham "Cni,·cr ily in a peppery conlesl, 3 lo 1. Although the margin wa small, the Ifill lopper "ere never in serious clanger of lo ing the battle, as Pilcher George Finnegan was practically invincible mo l of the way. The lone tally scored again l him came in the eighth inning, "ht' n Kane tripled to centre and cros ed the plate on a n overthrow to slop him at third. The bad h eave wn made by hort lop Connolly in relay­ ing the ball from McCarthy. Connolly had another error marked against him when he m ade a bad peg to fir tin the eighth inning, allo"­ ing the r unner to reach second. Ile threw from an unbalanced po i­ tion, and lhe miscue was excusable. For lhe mo l parl the game was a pitching duel between Finnegan and Martin, with the former having slighlly the better of il. ~ either twirler wa hit very hard, although two triple and a double were made by lhe Blue and Gray. Each showed excellent control, a nd there were only three bases on ball during the entire game, one corning from Fin­ negan and two from his rival. The core :

Georgetown had several opportunities for victory, but the necessary hits were not forthcoming. Georgetown gained its two runs in the fifth inning through bad field­ ing by Wi11iams' inner works, not a single hit figuring in the scoring, while Heggarty's wildness in passing two batters, an error, and Swain's double gave Williams a pair in the same session. Williams got i ts other Lally in the initial frame, when Statler, first up, doubled and completed the circuit on a sacrifice hit and an infield out. Georgetown had an opportunity to win the game in the ninth inning, when a single and two passes filled the bags with two out. Coach O'Reilly sent in Norck as a pinch hitter, and he came near making good with a long fly to centre. The score : Georgetown. AB. H. 0. A. Williams. AB. H. 0. A.

A pitcher with a prolonged wind-up and a catcher of only fair ability allowed Georgetown a carnival on the bags in the final encounter with Williams. Mainly as a result of the path frolicking the home team evened up the series with a win by 5 to 1. Those five runs resulted out of as many hits. Smith, who occupied the mound for the visitors, was the victim of several wild spells, walk- (541) GE ORGETOWN COLLEGE JOURNAL

"Red" McCarthy "debutted" on the mound a nd showed cooclu ively that he is ready to tak e his turn in the future. He worked five innings, a llowing but two hits, had p erfect control, and was not scored on. In the sixth McCarthy gave way to King Kelley, and the visitor counted th eir only run, and strangely, as a result of a lip on the part of the former, who was sent to finish the game in centre. ta ller, of the visitors, drove a long fly to deep ceo lre lha t carried clo e to the stands.

Whittaker, with two men jamming the paths, poled a terrific hit into. the right field, scoring the two men ahead of him and pulling up at third base, from where he scored a moment later. This hit really won the game for Georgetown. The contest was one of the best games that has ever been witnessed on Fitton Field for many a day, and thoroughly delighted the seven thousand fans that turned out for the game.

Georgetown bunched its hits ofT Eddie :\1ahan, Harvard's s lar mounds­ man, on the Hilltop on April 23, and as a re ult lhe Crimson was forced to undergo defeat. The score was 8 to 1. The Hilltoppers gathered a total of twelve hits, and, although several were of the infield variety. only two failed to figure in the scoring. Gene Finnegan held the Harvard batters safe until the eighth inning. wh en a base on balls to Fripp and singles by Hart and Abbott put over a tally. Another probably would have scored in this frame but for a splendid running slop by Leflfielder Joyce, of Abbott's binglc. Joyce's sensational :fielding earlier in the game probably saved other runs. In the fifth he robbed Fripp of what looked like a sure three­ bagger when he raced back and grabbed the drive with one hand. He also made a wonderful catch of Hardwick·s liner in the eighth. McCarthy hit over Hardwick's head in left field in the third inning for a home run, the ball bounding against the fence a t the extreme end of the field. This seemed to upset Mahan, for Connolly and Tormey imme­ diately followed with singles, and after they had moved up a peg on an infield error, the pitcher cut loose a wild pitch, which all owed both to score. A little speed from the catcher, however, would have cut ofT one of them. Three infield singles and a pass netted Georgetown anoth er trio in the eighth. One of these constituted Connolly's fourth consecutive hit, giv­ ing him a perfect day at bat. He also scored three runs and played a fine game in the field. Score:
