IT IS THE HAPPY PRIVILEGE of the 1941 DOMESDAY BOOKE Staff, in dedicating this volume to Father John E. Wise, S.J., to single out a member of the Jesuit Faculty, who is a native Washingtonian, an Alumnus of Georgetown, Dean of the Freshman Class, and a priest, whose sterling character and affable disposition have won the hearts of everyone. A glimpse at the College records reveals the fact that, while a stu dent at Georgetown, Father Wise distinguished himself both in the classroom and in extra-curricula activities, thus typifying in his own life, the ideals of scholarship that he today seeks to instill into those under his charge. He was graduated in 19x6 with the degree of Bache lor of Arts, cum laude; and was a member of the Journal Staff, Presi dent of the Day Scholars Club, Captain of the Rifle Team, and a mem ber of the Gaston and Philodemic Debating Societies. The general esteem in which Father Wise is held today is reflected in the words of the past, for accompanying the picture of John E. Wise, A.B., in the 19x6 DOMESDAY BOOKE, are these words of the editor— "Inevitably and conspicuously present in the distribution of premiums. Equally unassuming in their reception. Less than shy, more than gen erous. Our strongest hope in the National Open. John's consistent driving, clever approaching and meticulous putting are symbolic of all his efforts. His drives are long and they're always on the fairway." REVEREND JOHN E. WISE, S.J. Jforctoord
THE SCHOLASTIC YEAR 1940-41 is deeply significant in the his tory of Georgetown, for it marks the Tercentenary of the College Library. Though time has levelled the unpretentious structures in Southern Maryland, which were the forerunners of the more numerous and more impressive halls now forming the Georgetown Campus, nevertheless, the books that the pioneer Jesuits assembled into their first library still survive. Nay more, like a sturdy race, this precious collection of 195 volumes has increased through each successive gen eration to its present numerous progeny of xoo,ooo volumes. With a just pride then, the 1941 DOMESDAY BOOKE welcomes the opportunity to take for its theme the Tercentenary of the Georgetown Library, and to record permanently an event which merits even greater recognition. In doing so, we wish to offer a meed of praise to Elisha Francis Riggs, for his many and generous benefactions to the George town Library, and after whom the modern library is named. In the development of a theme so broad in scope and so extended over the years, we can at best but flash before the eye some few repro ductions of items in the more important collections, and make brief mention of the more valuable manuscripts, incunabula and early Americana. This in the hope that the student and the connoisseur will drink yet deeper at the rich and inexhaustible well-springs, where, in the words of Chaucer—"On books for me to read I me delight.'' /i/ ./,

"Ciic Manuscripts in the Uiggs Memorial librarg THE UNIQUE IMPORTANCE of manuscripts in the world of scholarship is unquestioned. In the case of the printed book, the printer intervenes between the writer and the reader. This is not so with the manuscript, which affords the most direct communication possible between writer and reader. The Georgetown Uni versity Library is fortunate in possessing a small but valuable collection of manu scripts. These have been acquired over a long period, chiefly through the generosity of individuals, some of them anonymous and others, such as Mrs. Nicholas F. Brady i:trcnitenarg (the late Mrs. William J. B. Macaulay), well known for their benefactions to institu (5eorgttottin tions of learning. lanitiErsitg It is a strange historical paradox that the middle ages, during which were per Xibrarg fected two of the outstanding media of color in art (the stained glass window and the illuminated manuscript) could be confused in the minds of some historians with the "dark ages." One example of mediaeval color is a Horae, or book of hours, of the Paris use, dating from about 1460, a page from which is reproduced herein. Against a gold, blue and red diapered background is the "sapphire Mary" seated in a chair, her feet on a red carpet laid on green grass, with the Child on her lap reaching eagerly to a golden bowl of fruit offered by a kneeling angel whose pink wings show above his pure white garment. Of comparable beauty and color is another Horae in the Georgetown Collection, this one dating from the same period, and containing twenty-one miniatures, with an Adoration of the Magi, Flight into Egypt, and Crucifixion. Among the non-liturgical manuscripts is a volume of theological and homiletic works by the Venerable (now Saint) Bede (his Parables and Canticles), Hugo de Saint Victor, Saint Jerome, Gilbert de Auxerre, and others. It is a folio on paper, in the original binding, of 30X leaves, executed in fifteenth-century France. The manuscripts at Georgetown are not confined, however, to the mediaeval period. Prominent in the Brady Collection is the Crewe Manuscript of Sheridan's School for Scandal, which Nettleton and Case, in their British Dramatists from Dry den to Sheridan, accept as the most authentic of the several in existence. Finally, a treasure in the Brady Collection that deserves special mention is the autograph manuscript of Mark Twain's Tom Sawyer, a microfilm of which has been deposited with the Library of Congress. As we follow Tom Sawyer's adventures in the author's own handwriting, we are privileged also to observe the changes, cor rections and abandoned paths which marked the author's progress during the com position of his masterpiece. It is in the perusal of manuscripts alone that we are vouchsafed this intimate view behind the scenes, so to speak, of an artist's creation. BERNARD WAGNER C(X3p: .1. ^•

For an army was approaching; an army of students. The lonely autumnal cricket ceased momen tarily his incessant drone to regard curiously the brawny football players who speckled the campus, having returned early to prepare for what became the greatest grid season in Hoya history. Close in their van came the bewildered freshman eager for social and scholastic con quests, eager to make himself part of an heroic tradition. 35 trying to slumber in unfamiliar surroundings. But those same harsh noises of the antiquated timepiece were the sounds which denoted to the upperclassman that he had returned to the scene of happy days. Then suddenly, like a plague of locusts, there swarmed down on the campus from every ima ginable direction, by every conceivable means of transportation what was sometimes jocu- Accommodations for two. Not so eager, not so jubilant were other early arrivals—the upperclassmen who were con demned to take condition exams. No new story for them was the baying of the O Street hounds at the moon.

The meta morphosis was complete and the sullen stillness of the summer blossomed forth into the boister ous ebullience of the collegiate year. The sophomore evidenced a new and un- scratched varnish of sophistication; the junior manifested downright ennui; and the senior, almost indistinguishable from the freshman, anticipated the beginning of his finalyea r at college with the misguided notion that it would be a veritable 'breeze.' Contacts were re-established; stories were told and retold of the summer's beach-parties, cruises, office work, and R.O.T.C. camps; plans were laid for the ? rmi I greatest year and the biggest parties ever to occur in Hilltop history. The campus had become alive; Phoenix-like, it had resurrected itself from the lethal humid ity of the Washington summer and was once again a center of young and vital energy. For a new scholastic year had started and, to George town, the firstyea r of a new decade loomed large on the magnificent horizon of the future.

And did he have in mind the Class of '44 with its indomitable unanimity which it evinced so early in its firstyea r with that glorious insur rection against the tyranny of those sopho- moric bullies. At any rate, enthusiasm marked quite a few of its deeds. Out of the candidates at election time there rose four leaders, 'Bills' O'Connor andKosterman, 'Jacks' MoynehanandO'Hearn. Later, when unforeseen conditions forced friend ly Moynehan to abdicate, Don Person replaced him. The epidemic of appendicitis, the morgue like atmosphere at half-time when twenty tearful buddies departed, rented cars (pay till it Hertz), the frosh tea-dance, all were part of the saga of these pugnacious yearlings. 40 ^p " '9^ ^4 V ^f-, ^ 1^^^ V ^^jBRC! f- '# jSHL vv 5 iJp* -. ^1/ / .^.; j^Mpipk^MM ^Kr ~ -'^'^^^v^B^^^H 1 Hf^ SK^^^^BHH^^^BHnK'/T' 11 Sophomore Officers Ryan, Egon, Napier, Murphy. Omk^ide September of 1940 saw a class of mature, sophisticated sophomores, 150 strong, make their second appearance at G-Town on the Hilltop. They were no wiser than their pre decessors, but they certainly were no greater fools. They didn't crucify their frosh rivals in the "Battle of Caps," but they did the most humane thing this side of it. Their tea-dance wasn't the greatest possible success, but it did "just make expenses." They weren't respon sible for all the victories of the football squad, but they did manage to obtain berths for five lettermen.

Junior life. 44 y- i 'ill 1 ' t ii I Professors vs. Students. In the bustle of campus activities there is one item so intrinsic to college life that its very existence is often obliterated in the fond memo ries of the dim but pleasant past: viz., class periods. No sooner did the school year begin than the student was astonished by the pros pect of study and "work" meekly protruding its evil head around an obscure corner of White Gravenor Building. Together with this phenomenon, the fresh men were confounded by the appearance of a new Religion course on the Hilltop. Thus, instead of the previous general treatment of the four Gospels, the frosh were treated to an intensive study of the Old and New Testament in the hopes that they would not "wrest it to their own destruction." Meanwhile, as the result of a petition, the seniors were being aroused from slumber in the Senior Class Room through the medium of a P.A. system. More or less disturbing was the innovation to the lads who, for three years, had parked themselves in the rear seats, eased their Dr. Kress explains. conscience by convincing themselves that they 46 could not hear the prof nor see the blackboard, and then dropped off to dream of Cobina Casey back in Brooklyn. The situation became infinitely more complex. Senior ingenuity was severely taxed. On the aesthetic side of the fence, Dr. Donovan, capable maestro of the Glee Club, inaugurated a comprehensive Music Apprecia tion course and drew quite a throng—not all of whom wore ribbon ties or long hair. But by far the most important improvement which greeted the student body was to be found downstairs from the post office which was formerly the site of Koom zi. For there was located the Georgetown Radio Room, an idea of Father Edmund A. Walsh, S.J., which mate Mr. Hoch and prize pupils. rialized through an ample donation by an alumnus.

But to the returning student body, freshmen excepted, class bells still jangled incessantly, John Carroll didn't look a day older, and the climb up to Fifth Copley was still a tough one.

An experience, indeed, not to be for gotten; because it was for many of us our first encounter with the harsh and grim realities of life. October ix marked the debut of the Fresh man class to Washington society as the seniors gave a tea dance in their honor at the Wardman Park Hotel. Ray King's orchestra rendered the music. The seniors introduced the freshmen to young maidens from Trinity, Visitation, Dunbarton, and Immaculata Colleges. The freshmen. The freshmen moaned softly. And freshmen danced. The seniors cut. The seniors Ray King's orchestra packed its instruments took out the girls who had come to meet the and went home. Of course, since the freshmen were the guests of the seniors, no sophomores or juniors were supposed to be admitted to the polished floor of the famed Continental Room, and, though the senior committee functioned smoothly, it was reported that some interlopers did succeed in obtaining admittance. That beloved collegiate custom by which the freshmen were taught during the first few weeks to show the proper deference for the almighty sophomore was somewhat upset this year when the yearling worm turned and smote back at their superiors by means of the well- aimed stream of a fire hose. Human nature can stand only so much and hence, after a few days and nights of squirming 'neath the torments of that Simon Legree of the Vigilance Committee, Ray Moore, the fresh man class banded desperately together and made We wonder who they are. a determined and successful defense against the Finnegan eyes Mickey and? ruthless onslaught of their elders. 50 Slightly dampened sophs. Finnegan, Doran, and O'Neill dispute ownership of pants. Those ugly skull caps were bad enough, but when the sophomores made the frosh pile all their shoes in one indiscriminate heap, the lights of Ryan Gym went out, and some wily youth seized the fire hose. Pandemonium reigned and the sophs knew that they had met their equal. True, the initiation continued; the first-year men continued to wear their caps and the Kan garoo Court continued to function with its wonted justice as the aforementioned Mr. Moore and his aide, Charles Geiger, meted out sentences with prejudiced hands. But Bill Bovers bewildered. the orgies of organized hazing, which had made the quadrangle and Ryan Gym spots of terror for the freshmen, were mitigated in their severity. Gymnasiums may come and gymnasiums may go, but Ryan Gym will long be remem bered by the members of the Class of '44 as the scene of their glorious uprising against the cruelties of the soph Vigilance Committee. QuAiam The Mask and Bauble Club gave its first performance of the season on the evening of October 30 when it presented four one-act plays to a packed house. Three weeks of inten- sive rehearsing showed to good effect on the boards and it was soon evident to the spec tators that the '4o-'4i season would be no mean one in the history of Georgetown dramatics.

As the score reveals, it wasn't much of a contest, but in yards gained there was quite a battle and it didn't include the Gobblers. In scoring forty-six points the Hoyas piled up enough yardage to take top honors but not before the referees had made a fight of it. If they thought they could outgain the Hilltoppers by means of inflicting penalties, they were wrong but not by much. If they never inflict another penalty they will have meted out their share. It could not be said, however, that the Hoyas were exactly kept inactive. A combina tion of an aerial barrage by Koshlap, plus some excellent land maneuvers by Barrett, Doolan and Ghecas, gave the Hoyas a seven touchdown rampage. Highlight of the game was a sleeper the Hoyas executed, which everyone in the park, except V.P.I., saw coming off. Even when the play looked touchdown bound, it remained for a Hilltopper to break the play up, just to keep the Gobblers entirely out of it. JloHfCiA Picked Vkdetd^ The stampeding Hoyas were on the march! Behind them was a victory streak of twenty games, ahead of them lay their age-old rivals N.Y.U.

With the taste of blood in their mouths, the fighting Bulldog literally rived the hapless Turtle in one of the worst defeats yet recorded in their long and spirited association.

Ruppei had earlier been one of the apprentices of Johann Gutenberg in Mainz, the firstEuropea n to print by means of movable type. Another of Gutenberg's apprentices, Johann Mentelin, was established as a printer in Strassburg about 1460. He was often assisted by Adolf Rusch, who married his i:Erccntenarg daughter, and succeeded to his business when Mentelin died in 1479. One of the (BeorgctottJn finest books printed by Rusch was his two volume edition of Plutarch's Vitae, which "Eniocrsitg he printed in Strassburg in 1470 or 1471. A copy of this was presented to George Xibrarg town University in 1891 by Dr. W. Warrington Evans. One of the outstanding printers of Nuremberg was Anton Koberger. Among the books from his press in the Riggs Library is the Vita Christi of Ludolph of Saxony, printed in 1495. It was this work that proved to be the foundation stone in the spiritual development of St. Ignatius of Loyola, founder of the Society of Jesus. Among the Italian printers, Nicolaus Jenson was one of the foremost. There is a precious manuscript in the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris which tells us that on October 4, 1458, Charles VII of France, having heard of the invention of printing by Gutenberg, decided to send a workman to learn about it. He ordered the directors of the royal mint to select a competent craftsman for the mission. Nicolaus Jenson, most skillful die cutter of the mint, was selected. He did not return to France, but went to Italy. By 1470 he had set up a press of his own in Venice. A splendid example of the Roman characters which he used is to be seen in the Digestum novum of Jus tinian, which was printed in Venice in 1477. Another Venetian printer, second in rank to Jenson, was Erhard Ratdolt. In 148X he produced the firstprinte d edition of Euclid's Elementa geometriae, a copy of which is to be found in Riggs Library. Georgetown possesses first editions of two works by the heroic English saints, St. John Fisher and St. Thomas More, who were beheaded because they refused to recognize Henry VIII as supreme head of the Church. One of the books is the Treatise concernynge the fruytfull sayings of David the Kynge and Prophete in the seven penytencyal Psalmes, written by St. John Fisher. The volume was printed in London in 1508 by Wynkyn de Worde, who had earlier been the associate of William Caxton, firstEng lish printer. The other volume is the first edition of St. Thomas More's Utopia, printed in Louvain in 1516 by Thierry Martens. The latter work came to George town as a part of the John Gilmary Shea Collection, and is one of the most treasured possessions of the Riggs Library. WALTER W. J.

But the grand climax was yet to come; and come it did in the joint concert with Mary- mount College at the Biltmore Hotel on the following night. Wild and prolonged applause greeted them at the end of their demonstration of harmonic prowess. And so, in the height of their glory, the curtain fell on these yodel ling youngsters. purveyors of vocal music arrived scarred and feathered, tired but happy. Here they spent an enjoyable afternoon in the erudite company of the Jesuit scholastics and then wended their way homeward amid song and laughter. As in the years past the great and fitting climax to the travels of these gifted vocalists was their long awaited trip to the Gotham area. But before that palm was won they stood the scrutiny of the Hilltop at the Mi-Careme Concert in Gaston Hall and hung out the Mi-Careme concert. 97 ^R^^VH f ^ f f f ' \ [Jl i»,/ • 1 / .;£s^am»7iJMS«mmi>-— Our Orchestra.

Under the able direction of Dr. Edward Donovan, what was merely an idea became a reality. Consisting of sixteen members, the Orchestra accompanied the Glee Club on many of their local concerts. Playing music in the semi-classical vein, they established a com mendable reputation and received numerous compliments from various audiences. An orchestra, unlike a band, is handicapped by the fact that mistakes cannot be covered up by cymbal crashes or trumpet fanfares. Being small in number, each musician is open to close scrutiny and criticism from any listener. The preparation of classical music requires diligent, frequent practice, often difficult due to con flicting classes and activities. Considering its comparative youth, the Or chestra was indeed successful. Improvement Mr. McGinley and Joe Eckenrode talk was noticeable at each succeeding performance. things over.

What used to be a drab, gray-bound, semi- book went through the transitional stages and emerged a handsome periodical of the national weekly type. It met instantly with the approval of the majority of the faculty and students. And for the first time in years advertising graced a page of the Journal. In addition, the rejuvenated Journal showed marked improvement in policy, set-up and quality. The keynote was variety, with fiction and political, religious, alumni, sports, scho lastic and local campus news receiving equal coverage. Hence, what originally started as an experiment will most certainly continue, if campus opinion can be taken as a criterion. Executives Wall and Masterson. 99 Editor McVoy. Moderator Fr. Wise. QmdAew^ --in OHX^IOAJI Sometime in the Fall of 1940, Editor McVoy and his assistants of the Hoya staff got together, typewriters set, and wondered what they could do in the way of changing their weekly periodical. Out of the ensuing synod came a few progressive yet conservative alterations. For example, the masthead was shifted from the left side to the top center of the editorial page—uncommon in collegiate publications, but the Hoya asked to be considered as no common periodical Firmly grasping the significance of a modern trend, the editors emphasized illustrations with feature stories, or vice-versa as the case might require. Notable among such features was one on Georgetown's cuisine.

Due to the scarcity of available mounts it was necessary to limit the club to twenty members, chosen for their ability to ride and eagerness to cooperate in organizing a perma nent activity. The enlivening Maryland coun tryside furnished the scene for many hours of much needed relaxation from the occasionally dark shadow of the Healy Tower. Frequent hunts were held throughout the year, offering each member the opportunity to engage at one time or another.

But one night later the boys from Washington, after a 600-mile trip to Buffalo, beat a highly touted Canisius five 52.-35.

This was definitely a step in the right direction but the requirements were hard to fill as the team still had to win all or seven of the eight remaining games and six of them were on foreign courts. It was Syracuse that turned the trick on the Hoyas by defeating them 49-46 at Syracuse. There were no excuses offered, for the boys had played well but the boys from Syracuse stole the scenes at the right time. In the two nights following their second loss, the Hilltoppers took Colgate and Yale to get back on the victory train. The record now stood thirteen wins in fifteen 112 games. The two losses were suffered on strange floors; four victories were won at home; in other words, eleven out of the first fifteen games were away from home and this is undoubtedly a credit to the players and the coach. Qa/uien Jicpp^ ^aded With five games to go, the mythical pot of gold took on the aspects of reality. For the first time in over a decade a truly great team was representing the Hilltop. There was a lot of trouble ahead, however, for Penn State still had a game to take back from the Hoyas and the ever troublesome Fordham Rams decided to shatter any post-season aspirations of the Rizzi went after loose ball. fast tiring Georgetown contingent.

He showed a marvelous spirit throughout the season and connected for his share of the points in addition to his outstanding defensive play. A sports writers' poll named Irv captain of the All District Team for 1940-41, truly an accomplish ment for a Hoya. Captain-elect Francis "Buddy" O'Grady, the most improved player in the school, bewildered the stands with his ball handling which was a thing of beauty. He set up plays accurately and also connected for his share of the points. But much credit was due Elmer Ripley who coached the boys and welded them into a unit of perfection. True, they made the shots and carried out the plays, but it was the alert eye of "Rip" that picked out and smoothed out the flaws. It all goes back to the old adage— From the sidelines. without team play there is no team. 113 Frosh Basketball Squad.

"The Barons" of Fifth Copley found a great deal of competition in their league but managed to claim the right to play in the championship series. Their opponent for the title was First Copley which had little trouble in winning their own league. The championship was won by the boys from upstairs after they defeated the seniors from First Copley in a two out of the three game series.

The chief competition afforded Al this year came from Earl Audet, Freshman and Al's neighbor from Seton Hall Prep. Under the tutoring of the Champion, Earl replaced Ed Beetem of Pennsyl vania as runner-up in this year's games. It came to pass that in midseason the Frosh relay team, composed of Rogers, Malloy, Collado, James and Short, who were making such a name for Georgetown, caused Coach Hardell many moments of deliberation as to which quartet should represent the Hoyas, the Varsity or Frosh.

Captain Neumeyer in his first compe tition of the year took seconds in both the "300" and the 50-yard hurdles. Neumeyer had been inactive during most of the winter session but in this meet displayed the form that carried him to many victories outdoors. Practice for the spring season started before 118 Their knuckles sharpened and jaws squared away, the Hilltop boxing enthusiasts staged the Second Annual Intramural fistictourna ment in Ryan Gymnasium on April 4th. After three weeks of hard training, the small throng of aspirants to boxing fame made the rafters of Ryan gym resound with applause as the bouts got under way. For a few weeks Jim McNamara, former star athlete and boxing coach at Georgetown, had been showing the boys the way it should be done and they proved to the crowd that they were learning fast. The outstanding bout of the evening was the one between Jim O'Rourke, the Third Copley tenor from Ireland, and Frank Elliot, battler from Second New North. A fast pace was set in the first round as both fighterswen t at top speed. However, in the second round O'Rourke countered with a series of rights and lefts that had Elliot on the ropes. The referee stopped the fight and awarded it to O'Rourke on a technical knockout. In the 145-lb. class, Jim Murray, the thriving thrust from Third Copley, took a decision from Jack McCarren, frosh pugilist. This was a repeat performance for Jim as he won last year in the firstintramura l boxing show. In an all-freshman match, Denny Pierce, the Westchester Warrior won over Paul Murray.

George town defeated Temple University 6-i; and Penn State 3-1. The University of Pennsylvania handed the Hoyas their only defeat in a hard fought game at Riverside Stadium.

They were not printed over here; they merely found their way here. These books, numbering nearly zoo, are in a special case in the Shandelle Room, and are designated "Catholic Refugee Literature." They were the only books in English on Catholic dogma and practice possessed by the firstJesui t missionaries in Maryland after their coming here in 1634. The splendid collection of early imprints possessed by the Riggs Library, which i:crcentcnarg were assembled and collated by the present writer during researches which resulted 6Eorsetott)n in the publication of Early Catholic Americana, must have been known to the first flnitJtrsitg recorded Librarian of Georgetown, Father James Van de Velde, S.J., who later librarg became the second Bishop of Chicago. In 1847 Father James Finotti was Librarian. His valuable Bihliographia Catholica Americana (i87z) was published after he had severed his connection with the Society of Jesus. Among Georgetown's chief treasures are a splendid collection of Bibles; a set of Directories extending in almost unbroken sequence from 1817 onward; a similarly valuable series of catechisms; the greatest number of early bound Catholic news papers in the country; and some rare prayer books. Thanks to the historian John Gilmary Shea (whose great library was acquired by Georgetown) and to Father Finotti, our Library possesses the best collection in the United States of pamphlets relating to the notorious St. Mary's schism in Philadelphia (1811-18x4). Two other noteworthy treasures are the first edition of St. Thomas More's Utopia (1516) and St. Bernard's Hymn to the Holy Jesus, a translation (Boston, 1744) of the great Cister cian's Jesu, dulcis memoria. Many of these works were bought when published; others came through gift or later purchase.There is the Levins Collection, acquired from the heirs of that well- known priest; the Warrington Evans Collection of early printed works; the McNally Collection of French Revolution memoirs; and the Beauchamp Hughes Collection of Italian and French classics. In the fieldo f Americana, there is the Shea Collection, already mentioned; the James Ethelbert Morgan Collection of Colonial books, and the Trunnel Collection. I cannot close this account without a tribute to the family which did so much for Georgetown's books, and whose name the main Library now bears. It was Elisha Francis Riggs who built the present quarters of the Library in the south pavilion of the Healy Building in 1889, and fitted it out in its present form. To his sons, Father Lawrason Riggs and the late Francis Riggs, the Library also owes much. In 1897 the Library had 87,000 volumes, and from that day it has grown to its present size of over ioo.ooo volumes. WILFRID PARSONS, S.J.

One dank and gloomy day succeeds another until everyone wonders if there can be any cessation. It was not surprising, then, that in the Nation's Capital such outright joy was manifested with the coming of spring. Thus, the canopy of clouds which had covered the city since mid-December gave way to smiling sunshine. The sub-zero gale in "pneumonia alley" died to a delightful zephyr. The cherry blossoms began to bloom and Wash ington became the mecca of tourists from all over the nation. The sun rose like thunder at about 5 :30 (not that anyone at the Hilltop ever saw it rise) and coveys of birds chirped and twittered around the window.

One of the firstvisibl e blessings of the season was the intrusion of the Easter vacation on the scholastic year. That dread Lenten monotony, which so seriously threatened to deaden per manently all initiative, became invisible amid the talk of cruises and trips projected for the holidays. Key West, Havana, Nassau, Bermuda, and Miami lured those who were travel-minded and the rest of the student body left for home and an outing in the new Easter bonnet, or possibly automobile. Expectations ran high of picnics and week ends, of the Senior Ball and the Glee Club trip to New York, and, for the seniors, of theses and graduation. The impending threat of con scription and war held little place in the minds of those—and who wasn't—affected by spring fever.

This year proved no exception. Rapid dashes to the Library of Congress, hur ried materialization of footnotes, frantic re quests for extensions so that one could attend the Trinity or Visitation dance—all these went into what was allegedly the firstintensiv e bit of research that these young gentlemen had undertaken. Best among the radical suggestions for sub jects on which these papers might be written was that which advocated that someone might study the implications of the fact, that students seldom whistle in their rooms but invariably start to do so when they enter the corridors. The firstanswe r appearing seemed to be that it was an instinctive urge to annoy those studying that led some to do this. Further research revealed, however, that the shape of Copley's hallowed walls produced an admirable rever Mob "psychology."

Not a few were those who thought of limiting their topic to a certain narrow aspect of a certain restricted and recondite question.

In the very surroundings that mothered such all time Hoya greats as "Doc" White, Sam Hyman, Del Bissonnett, Bill Kenyon, Paul Florence, Don Brennan and Harry Bassin, the 1941 successors to these men, who went on to make a name in professional baseball, finally took advantage of a break in the uncooperative weather and hiked themselves to the Medical Field for their first outdoor practice. To this initial open-air expedition came as fine a veteran squad as Georgetown has seen since the 138 / hey-days of the 1920's. Having broken a total of nine window panes as a result of pepper games in the gym, the seventeen-man club made apparent to the experienced eye that this was definitely to be Georgetown's year on the diamond. True to tradition the season's scheduled opener against the Indians of Dartmouth saw the base paths a sea of mud as a strictly Wash ington dew quite thoroughly washed away the Hoyas' hopes for a first game victory. Con tinuing in the "Ivy League" competition, the Johnny Harvards fell before a fourteen-hit club bing, as the slugging Hilltoppers notched the name of victim on the already over-populated list of defeated opposition in this golden era of Hoya athletics.

"Jockey" Jim Kiernan rushed to the scene and put out the fire as the Georgetown outfit sent across three more runs to make the final tally seven to four. In the supporting cast were such notables as "Jarrin'Jim" Castiglia behind the plate, whose mighty bat was instrumental in furthering the Hoyas' cause. To first base skipped fancy field ing Russ Miller, while the middle works of stonewalled defense were assigned to footballer Jules Koshlap and Hank Mlynarski, as pretty a keystone combination as can be found in college ball. Last year this trio pulled a triple play, a feat almost unheard of in collegiate circles. At the "hot spot" glided cat-like George Pajak who was also ticked as one of the teams most consistent hitters. Into the outer gardens went brainy Joe McFadden in left, muscle armed Captain Louie Ghecas to center and a sophomore rookie ' 'Lefty" John Smith to right.

Bolstering the loss of the former intercollegiate champion, Johnny Burke, by introducing a good number of par-breaking sophomores, the Hilltop team appeared the equal of the 1940 title winning crew. Captain Dick Harris proved himself worthy of the position. Along with Harris, we found two experienced men and finegolfer s in the persons of Buddy Sharkey, a junior, and Frank VanHerpe of the senior class.

Francis Riggs established and endowed the Riggs Memorial Library in honor of his father, George W. Riggs. A later benefactor was Mr. Anthony A. Hirst of Philadelphia, whose generosity made possible a collection of books especially adapted to the needs of the under graduate students. In 1934 the Hirst Library was consolidated with the Riggs i:ercEnttnarjj Library, and the combined collections have been placed at the service of both grad 6Eorgetottin uate and undergraduate students. Bnioersitg The modern era of the Library dates from the administration as Librarian of the librarg Reverend Arthur A. O'Leary, S.J., whose term of office began in 192.3 and ended with his appointment as Rector of the University in 1935. The work so auspiciously inau gurated by Father O'Leary has been carried on by the present Librarian since 1937. Service has been extended to include not only the student body, but also the Alumni, and cordial relations have been established with other libraries through reference questions, interlibrary loans, and participation in the activities of library associa tions. Interlibrary loans, formerly numbering a scant dozen per year, have increased sixty-fold. A similar proportionate increase holds for accessions, cataloging, cir culation, binding, reference work, and the many other phases of library service. Particular emphasis has been placed upon reference service to students. The con siderable financialoutla y made during recent years to equip the Library with the basic reference sources, the best of the current library aids, and an adequate selec tion of periodicals, would represent a vain expenditure were this material not made constantly available to students through a Library staff trained in the requisite tech niques. Reference work in a modern library is a highly specialized function, and no pains have been spared to bring into fruitful communion the students of Georgetown and the library resources provided by the University authorities. The renaissance in the Library's development has borne fruit in many ways, of which the most pleasant is the increase in the number of visitors who come in each week to inspect the Library and its contents. Students bring their parents and friends to see our famous treasures, visiting Alumni drop in to see what changes have taken place since their student days, and groups of men from the nearby dormitories look in on us from time to time. We urge all those Georgetown men who have not yet seen the rare book rooms and our extensive reference collection to do so. After all, the Library exists primarily for the students, and not the least important and reward ing part of our task is to communicate to them some of our own enthusiasm for the books of old Georgetown.

Days to be long remembered not only for their im pact upon national affairs, but days also which will never be forgotten because of their importance in the history of Georgetown. Arriving as freshmen, little did they realize how short would be the time from then to graduation. In appearance, four long years of work; in reality, but a moment of respite before the cares of adult life closed in upon them. Over those four years, they collected memories and knowledge which were to make the rest of President Snyder. life more pleasant, more palatable. Not all of college was bound up in studies.

Theirs forever were pleasant thoughts of visits to the Congress, the Sesqui- centennial Celebration, all night cramming, prefect trouble, two undefeated football seasons and private swing concerts on their neighbors phonographs. Their senior year was somewhat dampened by the shadow of conscription and impending war. Unknown to them was what they would do with the remainder of their lives. The glum prospect of military life loomed harsh and cruel. They were not entirely alone, however; for they had their philosophy to strengthen them and their memories to mellow them.
