Becoming Mary Frick Garrett Jacobs Bernadette Flynn Low, PhD The Frick Family and Victorian Era Values Mary Sloan Frick was born in 1851 and grew up in a privileged position as one of the prominent Frick family of Baltimore. Mary’s father, William Frederick Frick, descended from John Frick, an immigrant from Holland who helped establish Germantown, Pennsylvania. John’s son, Peter Frick, settled in Baltimore, where his own son, William Frick, became an esteemed judge and community leader. William had several children, including William Frederick, Mary’s father. Like his father, William Frederick studied law and graduated from Harvard Law School. Returning to Baltimore, he became one of the first four members of the Baltimore Bar. Mary, appreciative of her heritage, also traced the ancestry of her mother, Ann Elizabeth Swan, to Sir George Yeardley, the first governor of Virginia, and General John Swan, a Scottish immigrant who served in the Revolutionary War and was promoted by General George Washington. After the war, Swan was honored with a Mary Frick Garrett Jacobs. parcel of land by a grateful nation. There he built an estate near Catonsville, Maryland, that would later be named Uplands.

    1924 Cambridge - June 13-14 As in 1920, all finals were held on the second day except the walk, with heats on the first day, while all semi-finals took place on June 14, except for the 400m hurdles. A number of athletes did not make the top-4 in the trials, but were nevertheless selected because of their consistency in previous competition, showing a far greater flexibility of approach than was to be seen after World War II. The principal athletes who benefited were: Loren Murchison, Leroy Brown, John Watters, Alan Helffrich, George Lermond, Alfred LeConey, William Comins, Ernest Oberst and Pat McDonald. The New York Times noted that there were 419 entries, compared with 259 in 1920. Timing was with 1/10th and 1/5th of a second watches. Times are shown in tenths of a second for uniformity of presentation.

Accepted 22 April 2009 SUMMARY Musgrave Park Hospital in 1942 was the site of an Anglo- American Vitamin A caper. A threatened court-martial was pre-empted. Subsequently the Queen’s lecturer in Anatomy, JW Millen, who was the other lecturer to the first editor of this journal, RH Hunter, did much distinguished work. The neurological effects of Vitamin A were elucidated. Further work on cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), placenta, thalidomide and poliomyelitis led to the pre-eminence in applied anatomy and teratology of now Reader James Wilson Millen and Professors JD Boyd and WJ Hamilton, all Queen’s Medical School graduates. Training of RH Hunter, JH Biggart and JD Boyd at Johns Hopkins University profoundly influenced these seminal discoveries.

    ABSTRACT JEFFWSOM, James B. Chgnnirin styles the dtscu~ throw between 1896 and the present, M.S, in Physical Educatfon, 1980. 64 p. (~r.N.K, Butts). This study was a review of l%tperature and fPh observation concernbg the discus. It consists of fmbasic parts: (I) a section on early times which provides background information on how the ancients threw the dfscus; (2) an area concerned with the creation of the modern Olympic Games; (3) information concerning the discus itself; and (4) the changing throwing styles. Through this review the authop found much controversy concernfng almost every aspect of the dfscus. mat was a discus? What was the construction of a diacus, its weight and mesisurements? How was it thrown and where was it thrown from? -vIlno was the motivating force behind the Olympics and who decided the discus throw would be an event? The study concentrabd on the Olppfc years and their resulting discus winners. Them was progression from standing throws to throws u%iPizing turn techniques. The turns, for the most part, followed in order beginrmfng with 1 turn to 1 1/4, 1 1/2, 1 3/4 and then 2 complete %ma. This scan of literature also found that for every throwing style these were many personal varfaPIions from it.

    ^y Number 7 6c 8 March & April 1969 Volume 7 MATCHBOX LABELS - Jim Hughes - Recently a set of 120 Hungarian 'matchbox labels' came into my possession which portray many of the Modern Olympic Medalists. These labels are printed in blue and are numbered from 1-120, inscribed with the initials "M S Z" which I am told stands for "Magyar SrovetBeg" (Hungarian Federation) with each label printed with a /+0f value, on white paper measuring 3/+ x 50mm. I believe these labels were issued in I960, but I have as yet been unable to learn the complete atory behind them, however it is doubtful that they were issued for fund raising purposes. Perhaps some of our members can shed more light on this set as well as other Hungarian matchbox labels which I have just learned do exist. I am told these labels are printed in various colors, and on various colored paper featuring athletes and views of the Rome Olympics. If any of our members have them I would like to borrow or purchase them, so that the data on them can be recorded here. This set of matchbox labels from Hungary features a vivid history of the Modern Olympic Games from the First International Olympic Committee session of 189<+ in Paris (on No. t\) down to the clos­ ing ceremonies in Rone (No. 120) where the scoreboard is lit up with the word TOKYO. Following is a list of the Olympic Medalists pictured on this set of Hungarian matchbox labels, in alphabetical order. Names preceded by an («) were previously listed and their records can be found in the first section of this series.
