NEW FROM THE GROUND UP

Television, while adopting much from radio, stage and
motion picture techniques, nevertheless finds itself con-
fronted with basic problems that are entirely new. In effect,
television has created a new industry built upon science from
the ground up.

Lacking much in precedent, television must stall from
scratch. Its markets, its production facilities, its economics,
require careful analysis and coordination to assure success.

Older industries, after carefully appraising existing plant
facilities, are wholeheartedly revamping and stream-lining,
or establishing entirely new plants at new locations.

To you, who may be thinking about the practical ideal in
plant facilities, Austin can bring an intensive and extensive
experience in design and construction, to help you produce
a better product, in less time and at less cost.

Park, to be paid for partly out of this fund.
And in anticipation of an increase in students
next year, six new dormitories are projected.
In Baltimore a psychiatric hospital is to
be erected behind the University Hospital.
A new recreation hall, to make life pleasanter
for students in the professional schools about
Lombard and Greene, is being planned.

These are the high spots in the new build-
ing program which foreshadows a new era
But there are obstacles to be overcome before
in its entirety. It is expected that the recent
Federal restriction of building will affect only some items. It
may eliminate the proposed swimming pool, the stadium and other
structures not absolutely necessary in carrying on instruction at
the university. Dr. Byrd believes that erection of laboratories,
class-rooms and other needed buildings will not be affected, so
long as he is able to find building material for them.

But a formidable obstacle does stand in the way of completion
of all the proposed buildings. Dr. Byrd and those who have
consulted with him doubt that they can all be erected with the
money at hand. The deterrent factor is the high postwar price
of tabor and material.

However, Dr. Byrd, with experience in real estate development
before he became president of the university in 1936, belives that
he has an idea that might permit carrying out the program with
perhaps the addition of another $1,000,000. It is an idea by

THE University of Maryland is now in
the first phase of a building program
which when carried to completion, will
nearly double its housing facilities. More
than 40 new buildings are planned, ranging in
size from the major engineering units in the
proposed Glenn L. Martin aeronautical re-
search center to cottages for the faculty of
the Negro branch of the university at Princess
Anne in Somerset county.

Thirty-two new buildings arc intended foi College Park, two
for the professional schools grouped about Lombard and Greene
streets in Baltimore, and fifteen for Princess Anne. Currently the
university has available for this expansion about $6,250,000.
Two and a half millions, the gift of Mr. Martin, are earmarked
for the engineering and aeronautical center, which is to comprise
fifteen structures. The State has added $750,000 to Mr. Martin's
fund, thus raising it to $3,250,000; and for that amount Dr.
H. C. Byrd. president of the university, hopes to build one of
the most completely equipped engineering schools in the country.

The. remaining $3,000,000 will be devoted to expanding the
university's facilities in other directions. Included are a new set
of buildings for the school of agriculture at College Park. Completed
and dedicated on September ,.28, 1946 is the new fire extension
headquarters, where Maryland firemen will be taught how to fight
fire scientifically. A new auditorium also is proposed for College

for the university
it can be realized

which the university, in effect, becomes its
own builder, thus eliminating profits or-
dinarily made by contractors.

This idea already has been put into
operation in erecting the new fire exten-
sion building, across the Washington boule-
vard from the main entrance to the uni-
versity, dedicated in September, 1946. A
building superintendent has been hired for
a flat fee and through him the university
buys materials and meets the pay roll. By
this method Dr. Byrd hopes to complete
the building for about $159,3 00, whereas
the contractor's bid was considerably higher.

Dr. Byrd has confidence in what has been
called his "budget plan," which he employed
with satisfactory results during the war.
In 1944 the university was sorely in need
of three dormitories. Contractors' bids
for them amounted to $500,000, a sum
not available. Dr. Byrd built them on the
"budget plan" for considerably less.

One of the dilemmas confronting the
university in its present building project
is the proposed psychiatric hospital. The
State has allocated $400,000 for it but
the architects estimate that it will cost more
than twice that sum. It is to be four stories
high and some have suggested that the first
two floors be built and used until the other
two can be added. But this is impractical
because these floors are to contain only
offices and clinics and provide no rooms
for patients.

Architects Busy

Whether Dr. Byrd's budget plan can
help to build this hospital within the appro-
priated $400,000 is open to question. But,
on the whole, the university president is
confident that the bulk of the building can
be done within the next two to three years.
It will mean cutting corners for economy;
"but in the meantime 22 architects in Mary-
land, Pittsburgh and Chicago are preparing
plans for the buildings.

The largest- — -and most spectacular —
single group of the scheduled projects is
the Martin engineering center, to be erected
just north of the campus at College Park.
Plans for these buildings still are in the
preliminary stage, but Dr. Byrd hopes that
the unit will be ready for students by the
Fall of 1947.

One of the group is to be an administra-
tion building. The fourteen other buildings

NEW AUDITORIUM

The University's projected new auditorium, if constructed as sketched here, somewhat
resembling Parthenon, will be largest building on campus.

will be devoted to various departments of
engineering — chemical, mechanical, civil,
electrical, aeronautical and aerodynamics.
It is probable that their architecture will
conform to the colonial motif that now
predominates at College Park. A tentative
sketch submitted recently by an architect
suggested a mass grouping of all the build-
ings in an ultramodernistic design; but it
is unlikely that such a design will be finally
approved because, as one university official
commented: "This is Maryland, where the
colonial feeling still is sttong."

Reason for inclusion of all the other
engineering departments of the university in
this group is that they are all component
parts of aeronautical engineering. As Dr.
Byrd says, chemists will be needed to devise
fuel for rocket planes, mechanical engineers
will design engines, and electrical engineers
will have to do with ignition, radio and
radar. However, students in the new engi-
neering college are to have their choice of
the branch of engineering they wish to
follow.

The first facility of the Martin group to
get under way is the wind tunnel. It is
to cost around $800,000 and will be 160
feet long by 40 wide. Ground was broken

several months ago, building material de-
livered, and the structure is fast moving
to completion. Maximum wind velocity
in the tunnel will be 350 miles an hour.
That will give it a fairly long term of
usefulness for many routine tests. But the
coming of planes capable of speeds up to
1,500 miles an hour is expected to make
it partially absolete in about six years.
Much higher wind velocities will be neces-
sary to test models of such planes.

The speed factor, indeed, will be one
of the first study projects to be undertaken
in the laboratories of the new center. Study
will be made of the swiftness of man's
mental reactions to determine just how cap-
able he is of flying planes going 1,500 miles
an hour. As a companion project to this,
scientists will look into the feasibility of
automatic navigation instruments in super-
speed planes. Present methods of calculating
position are too slow. By the time thte
navigator solves his problem the plane
traveling much faster than sound, would
render his work futile.

Subzero Temperature

Another, laboratory program will concen-
trate on the effect of cold and heat on aerial
navigation instruments — subzero tempera-
tures at great altitudes and the sudden
change that comes with quick descent to
earth. Special hot and cold chambers will
be installed for these studios. The work is
important because variations in temperature
influence the accuracy of the instruments.

Another research project with a high
priority is to be the study of the human
body's reaction to rarefied atmosphere at
high altitudes. A chamber especially de-
signed for this work, costing $150,000,
has been presented to the university by the
Navy.

When the Martin engineering schools
schools begin to function, two of the older
buildings at College Park will be vacated —
chemistry and engineering. They are to be
taken over by the school of agriculture,
which has expanded greatly in the last eight
years. For example, in 193 8 the annual
budget for the department was $800,000.
New it is $1,700,000. In addition to
these older buildings the department is to

Baltimore architect, and to cost about
$360,000. This building will house the
school's headquarters as well as the extension
and reasearch service. It also will bring
together under one roof the various Federal
agencies which have worked at College Park
for a number of years.

New livestock barns and meat laboratory,
costing about $40,000, are to be erected
on the university's farm at College Park.
They will go far toward consolidating the
work of the school of agriculture, because
at present much of the livestock and the
meat laboratory are on a farm in Howard
county. Students of horticulture and agron-
omy are to have thre2 new greenhouses (to
cost about $30,000) for their work. And
the former National Youth Administration
building on the campus is to be remodeled
and converted into a workshop for study-
ing agricultural machinery.

For Girl Students

One of the proposed buildings at College
Park is to be devoted to the extracurricular
activities of girl students. Its estimated cost
is $180,000. It is intended as headquarters
for all women's organizations: the dean of
women will have her office here. This
building is expected to be of special service
to day students, for it will provide a place
where they may rest between classes and eat
the lunches they bring with them.

Because it is expected that the number of
undergraduates at College Park will increase
from this year's 3.600 to 5.000. the uni-
versity has planned six new dormitories —
three for men and three for women. The
estimated cost for them is about $620,000.
At present dormitories are urgently needed
for girls. Dr. Byrd says. An official state-
ment of the university says that their hous-
ing is "deplorable" because of overcrowding,
which is the result of the greatly increased
attendance during the following war. Part
of the overflow is now being housed in four
men's fraternity houses. Dormitories for
men are needed because the Government has

indicated its intentions of sending more than
1.000 veterans to the university next year.

An auditorium at College Park to accom-
modate 10,000 to 12,000 is on the list of
buildings to be erected. It is intended for
commencements and "other notable func-
tions." The estimated cost is $520,000
and, according to the present plan, the
State would pay half, the remainder to be
raised from the alumni and from the pro-
ceeds of athletic events.

If the auditorium is built as presently
visualized it will be the largest structure at
College Park and one of the most note-
worthy in the State. It would be 294 feet
wide and 396 feet long. The front of it,
as drawn by the architects, resembles the
Parthenon at Athens. Greece. The arch-
itrave, covering the full width of the build
ing, it is believed will be the widest of its
kind in this country. It is to be supported
by fourteen massive columns. An exceed-
ingly wide architrave creates an optical
illusion. When viewed in the center at close
range the base seems to curve downward,
giving the impression that it is breaking
in the middle. To correct this the architects
will put a curve in the base, reaching a
maximum of nine to twelve inches in the
center. This curve is not detected in casual
observation.

Swimming Pool

Another facility planned for College Park
is a swimming pool, to cost about
$125,000. A note in the university's list-
ing of new buildings says: "The Uni-
versity of Maryland is probably the only
university of any size in the country with-
out a swimming pool."

It is proposed also to build a new infirm-
ary at College Park. The cost of this if
estimated at about $80,000.

One item on the list not included in the
current building budget is a new stadium.

An addition to the dental school to cost
about $70,000 also is proposed. Thii
would put the school in position to increase
its teaching and clinical work.

The new building program from Princev
Anne includes a $140,000 dormitory foe
men; a dining hall and kitchen, at $100.-
000; eight cottages for the faculty, to cost
$32,000; a library, $50,000: barns and
equipment for the agricultural school.
$20,000.

The university's postwar building pro-
gram, even if only partly realized, marks
its greatest single step forward, particularly
in engineering, agriculture and medicine.
That it is fianced largely by the gift of Mr.
Martin and by the State is in keeping with
the traditional method of financing the
university's construction. The actual cost
of all construction at College Park, in
Baltimore and at Princess Anne up to 1946
totals $10,399,064.68; of this the State
paid $6,795,361.70. The remainder came
from tuition fees, grants by the Federal
Government and donations by indivuals.

Oldest Building

The oldest building now in use by the
university is its first medical school build-
ing at Lombard and Greene streets. It was
erected in 1812, about the time the legisla-
ture authorized the use of the title, Uni-
versity of Maryland. The building cost
$50.000 — met by private subscriptions. It
is believed to be the oldest medical school
building now in use in this country.

Growth of the professionajl schools
around the old medical building was gradual.
Not until 1823 was the Baltimore Infirmary
(known as the Old Hospital) built, at a
cost of $256,000 — high for those days.
The State contributed $31,000. Then, at
intervals came the law building. Davidge
Hall, the Nurses Home. In 1904 the old
dental school was built for $100,000,
which was a gift. That opened the way
for absorption by the university in 1923
of the Baltimore College of Dental Sur-
gery, founded in 1840, the oldest school of
its kind in the world. The period from
1923 until now was one of vigorous ex-
pansion of the professional schools. Three
additions were necessary for the nurses'
home; the new dentistry and pharmacy
building was erected at a cost of more than
half a million, provided by the State; then
came the new law building, for which the
State paid $200,000: the new University
Hospital, costing $1,723,756.14 (nearly
all State funds) and the Bessler Laboratory,
costing more than half a million, of which
the State contributed less than $100,000.

Future Expansion

This backward glance at the building
of the professional schools gives perspective
to future expansions, which are to be con-
fined entirely to medicine and dentistry.
In the years to come it is expected that the
Baltimore group of buildings will be de-
voted entirely to these professions and their
essential component — pharmacy. It is ex-
pected that the law school in time will be
moved to College Park, where it will be
closer to its related studies, economics and
political economy.

The first of the university's schools at
College Park was founded in 1858. That
was the school of agriculture, the second of
its kind in the Western Hemisphere. Six
years later it received Federal support
through the now famous Land Grant Act
of 1862. That act provided that each state

jl .

and territory could take possession of un-
claimed land in the West, sell it or exploit
it in other ways, and use the proceeds for
its colleges and universities, particularly
those devoted to agriculture and the
"mechanic arts." Maryland took over 200,-
000 acres "somewhere in the West" — just
where no one seems to know. Dr. Byrd
is about to have a search made in the
Government archives in Washington to
determine its location. But that now is
purely an academic question. Some years
after the land grant, speculators in Cleve-
land offered the Maryland Legislature 50
cents an acre for the land ($100,000 in
all). The Legislature accepted, and "sold
th? university's birthright for a pittance."
Five Units Built in 193 2

That was the rather inauspicious begin-
ning of the university group at College Park.
But Dr. Byrd likes to think of what the
university could do if it still owned that
land, or had sold it prudently for the build-
ing of such cities as Reno, Kansas City or
Omaha.

The old agriculture building has long
since been destroyed by fire. The second
building at College Park was the old library,
built in 1892. From that time until 1932
building was sporadic but gradual. But in
193 2 five units were erected — the coliseum,
girls' field house, horticulture building, the
new library and Margaret Brent Hall —
and an addition was made to the engineering
building.

The great building era began in 193 6,
the year Dr. Byrd took office. Twenty-nine
building projects have been completed during

REAPPOINTED

Dean S. S. Steinberg of the University of
Maryland College of Engineering has just been
reappointed by Governor Herbert R. O'Conor of
Maryland a member of the State Board of
Registration for Professional Engineers and Land
Surveyors for another five-year term to represent
the Civil Engineers and Land Surveyors of the
State.

In making the appointment Governor O'Conor
said, "It is in recognition of the valuable services
you have heretofore rendered and of the great
assistance you have given to the work of the
Board. I take this occasion to commend you
highly for the unselfish and public-spirited at-
titude you have displayed in connection with
your work."

the ten years of his administration. If the
postwar building program is completed,
approximately 70 buildings will have been
erected under Dr. Byrd's direction. The
university had 45 buildings in 1936; now
it has about 74.

State Contributes One Third
The cost of operating the university is
about $5,000,000 a year. The State con-
tiibutes about one third. The remainer
comes from tuition and other fees. One
source of income is medical charges at the
University Hospital. Incidentally, the State
puts up only 1 7 cents on each dollar re-
quired for operation of the hospital.

From the hill of the wide campus at
College Park spread the fields, woods and
rolling countryside of the university grounds

DEAN OF FACULTY

In conformance with the growth and expan-
sion of the University of Maryland, Dr. Harold
F. Cotterman, (pictured above) former Assistant
Dean, College of Agriculture and Professor of
Agricultural Education, has been appointed Dean
of the Faculty.

Dean Cotterman has been at the University of
Maryland since 1917. The University knew him
as Professor of Agricultural Education, Associate
Dean, College of Education, seven times Director
of the Summer school. State Superintendent,
State Department of Education, Assistant Dean,
College of Agriculture and State Superintendent
of Agriculture.

Dean Cotterman graduated from Ohio State
University in 1916 and holds an MA degree from
Columbia University and Ph. D. from American
University.

on and about the hill. The larger ones
house the administration offices and the
departments of agriculture, arts and sciences,
music, education, chemistry, engineering
horticulture and home economics.

There are at present nine dormitories
for men students and two for women. A
point of interest at the college is the recently
restored Rossborough Inn, the oldest build-
ing on the campus: it was built in 1798.
Research On 800 .Acres

The school of agriculture still plays the
leading role, although the university has
gone far beyond the mechanical and agri-
cultural teachings of its early days. Approx-
imately 300 acres of the grounds at College
Park are used for teaching and research in

agriculture, horticulture, livestock, dairy-
ing and poultry. About five miles from
the campus the university maintains another
500-acre farm for plant research.

In one sense the University of Maryland
is one of the oldest state universities in the
country; and in another sense it is one of
the youngest. Its medical school, dating
fiom 1812, and its agricultural school,
founded in 1858, give it claim to age. But
the fact that the schools at College Park
and in Baltimore were not combined into
a university until 1920 also gives it claim,
officially, to youth.

HONORED BY MEXICO

Dean S. S. Steinberg of the University
of Maryland College of Engineering was
notified by President Alfonso Caztello of
the Association of Engineers and Architects
of Mexico of his unanimous election as an
honorary member of that Association, and
as its representative to the engineering or-
ganizations in the entire Western Hemi-
sphere in all matters dealing with closer
cultural and professional cooperation.

This is the fifth country that has so
honored Dean Steinberg, who last year
made a good will tour of Latin America
for the Department of State: the others
are Ecuador, Chile, Argentina, and Uru-
guay.

GOOD-WILL AWARD

A $300 scholarship is sponsored by the
B'nai B'rith Lodge through the Hillel
organization.

In the spring of 1947, this scholorship
will be presented to the person in the junior
class who has contributed the most toward
good will and religious life on the campus.
The recipient may be a man or woman and
must have at least a "C" average. Other
activities will be considered but of para-
mount importance is interfaith cooperation.
Presidents of the various religious organi-
zations will recommend candidates for the
scholarship.

"KILROY IS HERE!"

VETERAN/ ACTIVE CN CA/HPLX

VISiTiNG alumni at College Park,
who have not looked over the campus
recently, marvel at the growth, additional
buildings and general expansion.

However, the physical change is but one
difference. The student body itself differs
from that of pre-war years. This change
is brought about by the provisions of Public
Law 346, the so-called "G. I. Bill of
Rights" and Public Law 16, providing
benefits for disabled veterans.

At this writing the figures are not ab-
solutely accurate and show the present en-
rollement as 4,100 male students and 40
female students under Public Law 346.
Under Public Law 16 there are 400 male
students and one female.

President's Greeting

In greeting this year's freshman class,
mostly veterans, Dr. H. C. Byrd, Uni-
versity President, referred to the crowded
and abnormal conditions, the chow lines
and other lines. The President pointed out
that Maryland could have said, in effect,
"This is high watermark. This is all we
can take. This is as far as our facilities
will permit us to go. The rest of you
boys are just out of luck". That course
would have deprived worthy war veterans
of the chance to go to the university they
had chosen. Or, Byrd emphasized, we could
ask the ex-service men to bear with us just
a little while until the new facilities were
in operation and thus, through co-operation
and putting up with abnormal conditions,
allow Maryland to keep faith in accepting
for enrollment the maximum number of
veteran students who had chosen Maryland
as their college. Maryland elected to pursue
the latter course.

One of the most virile and active student
organizations on the campus is the Veteran's
Club. Its first president was William L.
Hoff, 29 year old junior who was a first
lieutenant and infantry company comman-
der. He's the father of a two year old girl.
His wife is a student at Ohio State Uni-
versity. This year's President of the Vet-
eran's Club is William Kyriakys.

Many of the University's athletes are ex-
Service fellows. The football team is liter-
ally salted with ex-Navy fellows, several
Marines and a large group of soldiers.

Purple Hearts

The tennis team is an all-veteran outfit,
including five Purple Heart vets and two
Silver Star men.

The boxing team show seven veterans.
Two of them wear the Purple Heart. The
team's experience in losing eight men during
the 1946 season to selective service would
indicate that it is smart ball to count on
the veterans to make up the teams.

Dr. Peter P. Lejins, Sociology, notes
that veteran interest extends beyond the
classroom. He made mention of the veteran
student's special interest in the classes study-
ing juvenile delinquency, as many veterans
are planning to enter field having to do

with curbing juvenile delinquency.

"They show their interest", said Pro-
fessor Lejins, "by coming to the office for
additional information. They obviously
h~ve a definite objective and do not work
merely for grades. On the whole I find
them uniformly excellent students".

Dr. Mary L. Andrews. English, was
equally laudatory. She said, "I enjoy teach-
ing them. They are workers. They do
twice the work required. For example,
they look up extra material in history in
order to prove some questioned point in
literature".

"I might add". Dr. Andrews said, "that
I find them gentlemen, not by Act of Con-
gress but because they are".

Last year Professor H. Gravely rjpinted
out that the avid interest shown by veterans
contributes toward superior work submitted
by them.

"This reflects maturity" said Professor
Gravely, "and the experiences of the services
in the war".

The senior women students, the only
girl students who have had the opportunity
of comparing the campus GI with his non-
service predecessor, have few veterans in their
classes. However, most of them speak
highly of the veteran.

One senior woman stated, "The boys
have matured and have profited greatly by
service experiences. They are still youthful
and a lot of fun but they are definitely
headed toward a chosen goal. They also
give the impression that they will reach

CAMPUS VETERANS

This picture illustrates better than words the presence of ex-service personnel on the
Maryland campus.

Carroll, ex-Army, Cumberland, Md. ; Jamie D. Lynch, ex-Marine, Plattsburg, N. Y. ; and Gene
Getz, ex-Navy, Cumberland, Md.

Helen Palovsky is a graduate of Bellevue School of Nursing, New York City. She was a
Lieutenant (jg) in the Navy Nurse Corps. Served as Operating Room Supervisor, Naval Base
Hospital, Netley, England. Commended by Admiral Stark. Later worked with amputation
casualties at the U. S. Naval Hospital, Mare Island, Car. She is married to a Naval officer.

Harold Moser, high school sports star, served with destroyer escorts in the Mediterranean
and later at Coast Guard station in Newfoundland.

Franklin Carroll, infantryman of the 29th, 99th and 85th Divisions, fought through the
stirring actions at Castelforte and Italy and other sectors as well as the Gustav Line break-
and the smashing of the Gothic Line north of Florence. He took part in the victorious march
into Rome. Spent the winter in the Appenine Mountains and took part in the Po River Valley
drive. He wears the Bronze Star and three campaign stars.

Gene Getz, ex-Navy flyer, served on the Ticonderoga, Langley and Franklin. Badly burned
and wounded when the Franklin was hit by a Jap kamikase plane. Wears the Purple Heart
and Distinguished Flying Cross with seven clusters.

His score against the Japs was two Zeros and a probable. Was in the first group to fly
over Okinawa and also participated in air raids on Leyte, Guam, Mindanao, Gilbert and Marshall
Islands. Shot down by enemy planes, Getz spent 17 days in the jungle until rescued by landing
troops. Later flew wounded men to base hospitals as a pilot in the Naval Transport Service.
A graduate of Northwestern Military Academy, Getz was Illinois All-Sate half back. He
established a sectional record of 9.6 for 100 yard at the Drake Relays in 1940.

"KILROY IS HERE!"

Washington Star Foto

"It Seems To Me I've Heard That Song Before" is the theme melody for ex-GI's, more
than 300 of whom are bunking in the new gymnasium armory at the University of Maryland.
Chow lines, lines for books, lines for this and lines for that. But the ex-GI's know it's tempo-
rary and that every effort is being expended to correct the situation and they're taking it service
style.

Says Carl J. Zarcone, ex-Army, "Sure, there's griping. But it's service griping. We know
the 'brass' is trying and will straighten things out."

Adds former Marine Sergeant W. L. Cooney, "We have no kick. We agreed to come in
until the dorms were finished and we know we're lucky to get a chance to go to a college like
Maryland.

Pete Sane, ex-Army, laconically remarked, "I'm glad we found a place to sleep."

"The school is doing the best it can under difficult circumstances," says Walter Claypoole,
ex-service man from Baltimore, "but I don't see why they have to forbid those freshman gir's
staying out after 1900."

that goal. I imagine the service, particularly
in combat, engrained in them determination
of purpose".

Tribute was also paid to age and ex-
perience, a girl senior in psychology and
English, who finds the veterans "easier to
converse with; they've seen the world and
can talk about anything."

While the veterans are more serious
students, and some of them at first found
it difficult to settle down to thte idyllic
atmosphere of college, they show no signs
-»f neglecting campus social life.

"I'd rather date a veteran anytime,"
declared Marion Benson, of Greenbelt. a
junior in physical education. "They're older
<n their ideas, and know what it's all about.
They take their studies seriously, but they're
a lot of fun too."

More Stable

Men who have had military service are
emotionally more stable and more purpose-
ful in their attitude toward life said a senior
in English and wife of a navy lieutenant.

Veterans were credited by Jasmine Arm-
strong, business junior, with having done
a good job of adapting themselves to college
life, while Mildred Burton, physical edu-
cation junior, is interested to hear them tell
of their experiences, and usually encourages
them to do so.

However, the veterans did not get away
with a perfect score. One Delta Gamma
senior, majoring in Education, wished to
remain unidentified but said, "The pre-war
students were more politte, had more 'school
spirit', were better class boys and spoke
better English". ("So there, Kilroy!")

The Veterans questioned were all intent
on finishing school, even though some of
them are starting as freshmen in their late
20's or early 30's.

Though they enjoy dating co-eds, they
at times comment ruefully on the youth of

the gi:ls. Most specific in hi.', criticism was
Robert Hughes, an old man of 22 who
seived nineteen months in the Army as an
aircraft mechanic and now is a junior in
mechanical engineering.

"The girls are all right if you can keep
up a conversation with them," he said,
not bitterly. "I haven't met any. But
maybe it's me. Most of all, the girls seem
to want to give the impression that they
know what it's all about. They don't."

Comments in this vein were made by
Carlyle Robinson, 22, a junior in business;
Ralph Holmes, 22, a senior in business, and
Franklin Carroll, 31, a sophomor in
mechanical engineering.

Bill Hoff, former President of the Vet-
eran's Club recalled a "hot debate" on one
occasion over a proposal to invite a group
of WAVES from Washington to a club
dance. The theory was that the WAVES
would likely be older and therefore more
suitable dates than thte coeds. The con-
sensus, however, was that the idea was not
quite cricket, and it was voted down.
Veterans Predominate

Classes are composed partly of the usual
pre-war ex-high school youngsters. How-
ever, the classes also include a great majority
of the older former G. I's. Some are former
enlisted men. However, thera are also
lieutenants, captains, majors and even
lieutenant colonels.

The ex-service students are naturally older
and more experienced. They have been
around. Flying the hump from Burma to
China or taking part in the Battle of the
Bulge would certainly seem to be something
that would add to the maturity and stability
of a student.

Today Maryland has freshmen who with-
stood the hell rained from the skies at
Pearl Harbor; freshmen who, in tiny PT
boats, sped to meet the oncoming Jap at
Midway; freshmen who piled ashore against
the battlements of the Normandy Coast

or held on by their toes at Salerno or
Tarawa.

Then too the ex-GI's include worthy
fellows who, by Service to their country,
earned the right to attend college which,
in some cases, would not have been the
student's lot had he not served in uniform.
They appreciate that.

The public prints have reflected the
opinions of coeds at various colleges regard-
ing veterans who now compose the major
part of new students.

At the University of Maryland, in a
recent unscientific poll, most of them said
that they would rather date veterans than
nonveterans, and frequently applied such
descriptives as "much more interesting" to
the ex-GI's.

Statements like this are not bad public
relations either. The veterans far out-
number the nonveteran and students.

There is a fly in the ointment, however,
in that some of the unmarried veterans, who
average 24 years of age, tend to be dis-
satisfied with the immaturity of the girls,
who are being graduated at 21 or 22 years
of age, not having had their educations
interrupted.

The veterans are not soured on the
situation to the extent of abstaining from
social life, even if they do see room for
improvement. They heavily populate the
dances, now once again a regular feature
of college life, and are by no means too
blase or battle weary to indulge frequently
in "coke dates."

They're Nice

Their attitude was summed up by a
laconic veteran who interestedly listened to
his buddies examine, at great length, the
pros and cons of dating. Finally it was his
turn to speak. Asked what he thought of
the girls at the university, he turned the
question over in his mind a moment or two,
and then replied:

"They're nice."

"How do you like the ex-GI's on the
campus?" is a question often asked of Mary-
land co-eds.

The reply, "They're O. K., I married
one", is not uncommon.

Shirley Rouse, senior, sociology student
of Baltimore, stated that she would rather
date veterans and went on to explain,

"They are interesting. I like to talk
with them during intermissions. They have
had experiences a half a world away. Also
they are fun to be with."

"I have read countless articles," Miss
Rouse continued, about the problem of
'dealing with the returning veteran', as
though he were something apart from the
people who stayed at home. I had expected
to find fellows burdened by psychlogical
problems and difficulties of reconversion.

"After talking to them" Miss Rouse
concluded, "I found that they ridicule any
attempt to put them in a class apart and
I have yet to find the so-called 'frustrated
veteran'. If he exists he is not on Mary-
land's campus."

Classroom life, too, is enlivened by the

presence of veterans, notes Miss Rouse, for

they often contribute to discussions and keep

the professors on their toes by disagreeing

,; th them.

Professors as well as students find such
questions stimulating to the class discussion
and agree that the student vets keep the
teacher on the qui vive.

The appearance on the campus at the
University of Maryland is rapidly chang-
ing under the influence of the government-
aided building program which is due to the
doubling of normal student enrollment.

Temporary living quarters have been
brought from Portsmouth, Virginia to
house veterans and their families and will
be ready for occupancy by October 1 if all
materials arrive as expected. Men's barracks,
which have been transportated from Camp
Davis, North Carolina, arc being improved.
Those men who have been assigned quarters
in uncompleted barracks are being housed
in the new armory, where there are 615
beds.

Two one-story dormitories are nearing
completion in the area behind the Dining
Hall. Three new men's dorms are being
planned, one to complete the men's dorm-
itory quadrangle and two north of Calvert
Hall and west of dormitory 4.

Not only have new buildings been con-
structed, but also many old ones have been
remodeled.

Increased population has not brought
about housing problems alone. Classroom
facilities have been taxed by the record
enrollment. The NYA shops facing the
Horticulture Building and in back of
Agriculture will be replaced with classrooms.
A "U" shaped addition which will be used
by the College of Agriculture is planned
for the Poultry Building. The new struc-
tures will consist of a north and west wing.

The old Gym now has 15 classrooms;
the Department of Geography has taken
over the quarters of the engineering shop
in the west wing of the BPA building.
The third floor of Home Economics has
been provided with more classrooms and
with space for foods research, textile, cloth-
ing, and photography laboratories.

Veteran Students

The aptitude, ability, character and ser-
vice record of a veteran should be given
more than customary weight in admitting
him to a college or university, the Con-
ference on Emergency Problems in Higher
Education resolved in a meeting held in
Washington, D. C.

Examinations and academic records should
be taken into consideration, the resolution
said, but shortcomings on these should be
viewed in the light of the veteran's poten-
tialities as a student rather than his record.

This was one of several resolutions made
by the conference, holding its last session.
The conference is sponsored by the Ameri-
can Council of Education.

The conference called on the War Assets
Administration to adopt a policy of selling
surpluses to institutions of learning at a
normal price, rather than on a competitive
basis. Conference delegates appeared to be
unanimous in this matter.

Other resolutions made by the conference
were:

1. That colleges and universities should
"jealously safeguard" their authority to
select the courses individual veterans should
take:

2. That the Veterans' Administration
should streamline the methods by which
institutions make reports on veterans edu-
cation required by law.

3. That universities be permitted to col-
lect the same fees from the Government for
books, equipment, supplies, etc., used by
veterans attending college under public law
1 6 as are collected under public law 346.

4. That educational benefits accruing to
United States veterans entering colleges and
universities be extended to foreign students.

5. That for the time being the number
of students from this country studying
abroad, especially in Europe, be limited to
those who have completed one year of
graduate work in this country.

HISTORIC HERALDRY

MARYLAND /TATE EMELCMT

r[E Great Seal and Flag of Maryland,
pictured on the cover, are so intimately
connected the one with the other that their
history is inseparable. The flag of the State
bears the escutcheon of the Great Seal — the
Calvert and Crossland arms quartered. Mary-
land is unique in her Great Seal, and presents
a marked contrast with those of the other
States of the American Union, in that it
consists of Armorial bearings of a strictly

heraldic character, while the others bear "emblems indicative of
agriculture and commerce, plenty and prosperity, or kindred subjects
represented in a more or less pictorial or allegorical manner."
The first Great Seal brought over by Governor Leonard Calvert,
in 1643, was "Treacherously and violently taken away by Richard
Ingle, or his accomplices, in or about February A.D. 1644, and
hath ever since been so disposed of it cannot be recovered." In
1648, Baltimore sent to the province, through Governor William
Stone, a second Great Seal cut in silver. The escutcheon bore
the Calvert and Crossland arms, quartered. The first and fourth
quarters consisted of "six pales" or vertide bar, alternately gold
and black with a bend dexter counter charged — that is. a diagonal
stripe on which colors are reversed — being the Calvert arms; the
second and thrd quarters consisted of a quartered field of red
and silver charged with a Greek, or equal-limbed cross, classified
as "Botany" — its arms terminating trefoils — and also counter-
charged, that is, with the colorings reversed, red being on the
silver ground and silver on the red — the latter quartering} being
from the Crossland, Baltimore's maternal arms — Alicia Crossland
having been the mother of the first Baron of Baltimore, George
Calvert. These quarterings were surmounted by an earl's coronet
and full-faced helmet, which indicated his rank in America as
that of a Count Palatine — his rank in England being that of a
Baron only — a distinction which no other American Colonial
charter conferred. On the helmet rested the Calvert crest, a ducal
crown, with two half bannerets, one gold and one black. The
escutcheon was supported on one side by the figure of a farmer,
and the other by that of a fisherman — symbols of each of his two
estates, Maryland and Avalon.
Below them was a scroll bearing
the Calvert motto: "Fatti
maschii Parole Femine" — man-
ly deeds, womanly words, or
more strictly, deeds are males,
words, females. Behind the
escutcheons and coronets was
engraved an ermined-lined man-
tle, and surrounding all, on a
border encircling the seal, was
the legend: "Scuto Bonne Vo-
luntatis tuae Coronasti Nos" —
with favor wilt thou compass
us as with a shield. The heraldic
terms used in describing the
colors in the Calvert arms are
"Or" and "Sable," meaning
'•old and black.

The Obverse of the Great Seal
The obverse of the Great
Seal represents Baron Baltimore
a; a Knight in full armor, with
d awn sword and helmet de-
corated with feathers. He is
mounted on a richly caparisoned
charger, in full gallop, adorned
with his paternal coat of arms,
below which are engraved a
strip of seashore, grass and
flowers: around the whole is an
inscription containing his name
and title, "Cecilius Absolutus
Dorminus Terrae Mariac et
Avaloniae Baro de Baltimore."

The Great Seal of Mary-
Land, the State Flag,
Song and Flower

The Great Seal of the State, or Nation,
stands as her symbol of honor, and the
signet by which her offical acts are authen-
ticated and accredited. In colonial Maryland
to every deed granting lands by the Pro-
prietary, who held the fee therein, to the
colonist settlers, was suspended by a piece
of linen tape, a large wax seal, with the
impression of both the obverse and the reverse
of the Great Seal thereon. Upon the accession of William and
Mary to the throne of England, Maryland became a Royal Pro-
vince and the Church of England became the established church
of the Province. During the sway of the Royal Governors, from
1692 to 1715, other seals came into use, but upon the restoration
to Lord Baltimore in 1716 of the Province, "The Greater Seal
at Arms" was again used. The convention of 1776 adopted the
Great Seal of the Province as ihe Great Seal of the State, until
a new one could be devised. Later, notably in 1794, and in 1817,
many changes were made in it, but in 1876 a joint resolution of
the Maryland Legislature was passed restoring the seal to the
exact description given of it in Lord Baltimo.e's Commission to
Governor Stone on August 12, 1648.

The flag of the State bears the escutcheon of the great seal —
the Calvert and Crossland arms quarteied. The device seems to
have been adopted by common consent, as there was no formal
adoption of any design as the offical flag of the state until 1904.
To Mr. James W. Thomas, of Clumberland. Md., the author
of "Chronicles of Colonial Maryland," is due the credit of
passage of the Act of 1904, Chapter 48, "to formally adopt
and legalize the Maryland flag."

That the Colony had a distinct flag or standard we know.
The first recorded instance of the use of a Maryland flag occurs
in Leonard Calvert's report of the reduction of Kent Island
(February, 1638), in which he says that he and his force marched
with Baltimore banner displayed. At the Battle of the Severn,
in 1655. where the supporters of the proprietary government

party under Captain William Fuller, Stone's
forces marched under the flag of Maryland,
borne by William Nugent, "Standard bearer
of the Province," while Fuller's party dis-
played the Flag of the Commonwealth,
charged with the crosses of St. George and
St. Andrew. It is also said that a Maryland
flag was carried by the Marylanders who
accompanied Braddock's expedition against
Fort DuQuesne (Pittsburgh), in 1755.

Maryland's Flag

The Maryland Flag, like the great seal,
was evidently designed and adopted by
Cecilus, Lord Baltimore, and sent out by
him when the Coloney, as it was unfurled
and officially used a few days after taking
formal possession of the Province, when
Governor Calvert, to more forcibly impress
the natives, ordered the "Colors to be
brought on shore" and a military parade.
While there does not seem to be any distinct
record of the design of the colonial flag
of Maryland, it is believed to have been the
same as the one now in use. Maryland is
also as unique in her State flag as she is
in her Great Seal, in that it, too, is strictly
of heraldic design, and is an exact repro-
duction of the shield or escutcheon upon
the reverse of the Great Seal of the Province.
Apart from its historic interest, the Mary-
land Flag, as may be seen from the illustra-
tion on the cover possesses marked symmetry
and beauty. The parllel and diagonal lines
of the Calvert quartering being in singular
harmony with the crosses and transposed
colors of those of the Crossland arms. The
combination, too, of the colors of the
former — gold and black — while in brilliant
contrast with those of the latter quarterings
■ — silver and red — are both effective and
pleasing. Silver being a white metal the
white color is substituted for silver in Mary-
land flags made of bunting or silk, and is
so provided for in the Act of 1904, Chapter
48. When painted on panels or printed in
colors, however, the rich heraldic colors,
gold and black, silver and gules (blood
red), should be adhered to. — (From book-
let entitled Annapolis, History of Ye Ancient
City and Its Public Buildings, by Oswald
Tilghman.)

The Maryland State Flower

Chapter 458, Acts of 1918, designates
and adopts the Rudbeckia hirta, or Black-
eyed Susan, as the floral emblem of the
State of Maryland, and directs the Governor
to declare the same by Proclamation.

The winning horse in the Preakness
Maryland's time honored turf classic, is

DANFORTH AWARDS

Robert Kenneth Bechtold, Laurel, Mary-
land, junior at the University of Maryland,
won the 1946 Danforth Leadership Train-
ing Scholarship as the University's out-
standing junior agriculture scholar. He is
an ex-Army GI Bill of Rights student.

The award involved two weeks at the
Danforth Purina experimental farms in
Kansas City and a tour of the Kansas City
markets and stock yards, followed by two
weeks at the Danforth American Youth
Foundation Leadership Training Camp at
Shleby, Michigan.

The stay in Kansas City was for the
preceding two weeks.

The Danforth Leadership Training
Scholarship for freshmen went to Earl Al-
fred Crouse, of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.
He is a student under the GI Bill of Rights.
This award included two weeks of attend-
ence at the Danforth American Youth Lead-
ership Training Camp.

Both students first visited St. Louis,
Missouri.

These scholarhips are alloted once each
year to one freshman and one junior from
various Agricultural Colleges.

EDITORIA

FOR MARYLAND

THIS publication is predicated on the
conviction that there is a definite field
and real necessity for a publication of in-
terest to alumni, student body, faculty and
officials of the University of Maryland —
Baltimore as well — and for all others in-
ks colleges at College Park and those in
terested in the Sta^e of Maryland in general
and the University in Particular.

The alumni news features will continue
and will, in every way, be augmented.
Alumni news depends largely upon the in-
terest taken in these pages by the alumni.
Articles of interest from the alumni are
invited. Personal items are desired per-
taining to such events as marriages, births,
deaths, changes of address, naval-military
news, personal photographs, etc., etc. You
send them in. We'll print them.

While other institutions of learning have
continued to publish strictly alumni news
magazines, some of them most excellent
papers, the University of Maryland feels
that what happens at Maryland and among
Maryland alumni is of great interest and
imoortance to alumni, student body, and
faculty and to parents and other close rela-
tives of students as well.

Surely all with the interests of Maryland
sincerely at heart will wish to read feature
articles pertaining to Maryland, its academic
and scholastic affairs, its campus life, its
sports calendar and sports results.

The strength of any publication lies in
its circulation. The greater the circulation
the greater will be the appeal to the ad-
vertisers. Hence, greater advertising support
which, in turn, justifies a bigger, better
publication. It all comes back to the reader.

This magazine may well develop into
a publication of national scope and impor-
tance as a medium for telling the world
not only about the University of Maryland
but also about the great, colorful and his-
toric State of Maryland.

The publication of this magazine is quite
in keeping with the rapid expansion of the
Universtiy in all departments. Every effort
wil be expended to improve the paper in
every way. Toward this goal the co-
operation, support and criticism of its
readers is invited.

The day has come when Maryland
alumni, Maryland students and those close
to Maryland point with pride to the growth
and advancement of the Old Line State's
University and look with confidence to its
future. In this premise we ask the assistance
and co-operation of all who are interested
in Maryland so that we may make of this
publication one that will share the just
feeling of pride in accomplishments at and

Some months ago a small group of un-
thinking University of Maryland youngsters
— a very small percentage of the student
body — staged a demonstration in protest
against the departure of a good football
coach.

The coach left not because of any dis-
like for Maryland and Maryland people
but because he had received a better offer
from another school.

The demonstrators were unaware of the
facts. They blamed the incident on the
official who had hired the coach, i.e. the
President of the University. That official
told the small band of demonstrators that
the whole affair was a surprise to him. He
promised that he'd do his best to get another
coach, the best he could obtain.

As was to be expected from a man who
has done more for Maryland and its students
than anyone else, the promise was kept
and the few youngsters now doubtless
regret their hasty display of criticism.

Shakespeare wrote "Experience is all".
That takes in a lot of territory. The fact
remains, however, that one cannot gain
experience without also acquiring age. The
very young cannot very well be the greatly
experienced. Youngsters do things at the
age of twenty that they would not do at
the age of thirty.

Criticism is valuable. It keeps people
on their toes. Constructive criticism is
best because it comes from individuals who
know where they criticize.

In the history of our country probably
no other official was subjected to the vile
abuse and vituperative criticism heaped upon
the troubled head of Abraham Lincoln.

He was called just about everything in
and out of print. But he did his job as
he saw it. Reaching the highest office in
our country did not come easily to this
great man of great sorrows.

When Lincoln was a young man, he
ran for the Legislature in Illinois, and was
badly swamped. He next entered business,
failed, and spent 17 years of his life paying
the debts of a worthless partner. He fell
in love with a beautiful young woman to
whom he became engaged. She died. En-

tering politics, he ran for Congress and
was defeated. He tried for an appointment
to the United States Land Office, but failed.
He became a candidate for the United States
Senate and was defeated. He became a
candiate for the Vice Presidency and was
again defeated. He was defeated by Douglas.
But in the face of all this defeat and failure,
he eventually achieved the highest success
obtainable in life, and undying fame to
the end of time. What did Lincoln have to
say of critics? He had this to say:

"If I were to try to read, much less
answer, all the attacks made on me, this
shop might as well be closed for any other
business. I do the very best I know how —
the very best I can; and I mean to keep
doing so until the end. If the end brings
me out all right, what is said against rm
won't amount to anything. If the end
brings me out wrong, ten angels swearing
I was right would make no difference."

Years later we had another great Presi-
dent, sufficiently great to have his likeness
chiseled into the Rushmore Memorial along
with Washington, Jefferson. Lincoln. He
was Theodore Roosevelt. He had this to
say of critics:

"In the battle of life it is not the critic
who counts: not the man who points out
how the strong man stumbled, or where
the doer of a deed could have done better.
The credit belongs to the man who is
actually in the arena; whose face is marred
by dust and sweat and blood: who strives
valiantly; who errs and comes short again
and again because there is no effort without
error and shortcoming: who does actually
strive to do the deeds; who knows the great
enthusiasm, the great devotions, spends him-
self in a worthy cause; who at the best
knows in the end the triumph of high
achievement; and who at the worst, if he
fails, at least fails, while daring greatly, so
that his place shall never be with those
cold timid souls who knew neither victory
nor defeat."

LEADERSHIP

A college education is supposed to fit
students for leadership. However, a degree
alone cannot do it. Education can only
show the way.

One of the most essential, yet most
elusive qualities is that quality known as
leadership. It is difficult to define. Yet
il is so real that its lack makes the difference
between just a good worker and a capable
lender. It is something to consider. What
is it? Read over these nineteen character-
istics of a good leader which were listed
by Dr. James A. Bowie, and ask yourself
if you need to develop any of them.

1 . Plenty of common sense.

2. The ability to delegate authority.

3. The ability to estimate accurately
another's working capacity and special

THE TOOLS YOU HAVE

Until the late stages of the recent war,
when we had the stuff to "throw at 'em
everything but the kitchen sink," there
were occassions when combat units got by
as best they could on the tools they had.

Pitifully underequipped were the Marines
on Guadalcanal. Even underfed. They
lived on Jap rations. In order to do so
they had to first kill Japs.

However, you do the best you can with
what they give you. Most every service
man knows the Marines' motto. Semper
Fidelis, (Always Faithful) . Fewer are
familiar with the Marines' working motto,
"Do the best you know how with the tools
you've got."

The history of the world's accomplish-
ments is studded with events made possible
by men who did the best they could with
inadequate tools.

When most colleges and Universities, not
blessed with Navy help, abandoned their
athletic programs, the University of Mary-
land carried on, doing the best they could
with the tools they had.

The value of the determination to deliver
the goods even when under-equipped is
beautifully set forth in the poem, "Op-
portunity," by Edward Rowland Sill. Not

BACK HOME

Major Newton Cox is back at Maryland in
the College of Military Science and Tactics,
Physical Education, Health Education and Rec-
reation.

Alumni will recall the Major as the 1939
Southern Conference middleweight champion
with a left hand that had dynamite in it. He
coached a lot of boxing and other sports in the
Army and handled a big program in that line
in Europe. He also played a lot of first base
with Service team mates from the major leagues.

PLANT SUPERINTENDENT

Back at College Park as Superintendent of
Plant Maintenance and Operation is George O.
Weber, of Washington, D. C.

Mr. Weber, Engineering '33 (Sigma Chi) was
class president '33, played basketball and was
ROTC cadet commander.

After leaving the University the new Plant
Superintendent was with the U. S. Coast and
Geodetic Survey and later was Sales Engineer
with the C. A. Dunham Company of Chicago,
as their Baltimore represenative. D ing well
in his chosen profession Mr. Weber entered the
Army in February of 1940 and served with the
famed 29th Division. Later followed assignments
in Miltary Intelligence in the War Department,
Command and General Staff School at Fort.
Leavenworth, Kansas, and the 92nd Infantry
Division.

As an Infantry Battalion Commander he
served in Italy where he was twice wounded
and, for gallantry in action, received the Silver
Star and the Bronze Star with oak leaf cluster.

He also wears the Italian Military Order of
Merit, the Defense Medal for pre-Pearl Harbor
service, general service ribbon, Atlantic ribbon
and European Theatre ribbon with three battle
stars.

Leaving the active list with the rank of
Lieutenant Colonel this officer will continue his
interest and activities in military training as
Commanding Officer of the recenrly authorized
Military Police Battalion of the District of
Columbia National Guard.

a bad bit of verse to memorize. Here it is:
"This I beheld, or dreamed it in a dream:
There spread a cloud of dust along a plain;
And underneath the cloud, or on it, raged
A furious battle, and men yelled, and swords
Shocked upon swords and shields. A prince's

banner
Wavered, then staggered backward, hemmed

by foes.
A craven hung along the battle's edge.
And thought, "Had I a sword of keener

steel —
That blue blade that the king's son bears, —

but this
Blunt thing — !" he snapt and flung it

from his hand,
And lowering crept away and left the field.
Then came the king's son, wounded, sore

bestead,
And weaponless, and saw the broken sword,
Hilt-buried in the dry and trodden sand,
And he ran and snatched it, and with battle

shout,
Lifted afresh he hewed his enemy down,
And saved a great cause that heroic day."

The proper and complete presentation of alumni news depends almost entirely upon the interest shown in the pub-
lication by the alumni itself.

Alumni are urgently requested to supply the office of publication at College Park with changes of address known to any
alumni, news items of general or personal interest, occupational and professional items, social news, births, engagements,
marriages, deaths.

In these pages alumni news is top priority "MUST" news and the more news received the better the publication will be.

TWO SISTERS FROM MARYLAND
Charlotte Stubbs Mildred Stubbs

These two Mount Rainier sisters, both
honor graduates from the University of
Maryland and more recently, teachers to-
gether at the Bladensburg High School are
now in separate places — one in Vienna,
Austria, and the other in New York City —
to gain new laurels.

Misses Mildred and Charlotte Stubbs are
the daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Burns A.
Stubbs of 4221 Twenty-ninth street.
Mount Rainier. Their father is assistant to
the director of the Freer Art Gallery in
Washington.

A year's leave of absence was granted
by the Prince Georges County Board of
Education to Charlotte, who finished No.
1 in her class at the University of Maryland
in 1942, to go to Vienna to teach children
of American occupation force personnel,
under the sponsorship of the War Depart-
ment. She is 24 years old.

Mildred, who received her master's degree
at Middleburg (Vt.) College resigned
August 1 from the county school system
to work for the French Chamber of Com-
merce in New York City. Now 25, she

majored in French and English at Maryland
and won her master's degree in those
languages.

Both girls have followed almost parallel
careers. Both attended Mount Rainier High
School, and were members of Sigma Kappa
and received the Motor Board Award at the
University of Maryland. Charlotte majored
in mathematics and English and won her
master's degree after three summers at the
College Park campus and one at New York
University.

Mildred joined the Bladensburg High
faculty staff first and in her five years there
has taught French and been in charge of the
library. Charlotte began her duties there
two years ago teaching mathematics and
acting as guidance counselor when Principal
C. Paul Barnhart was transferred there.
She also served under Mr. Barnhart for two
years at Greenbelt High School.

Charlotte was recommended for the
Vienna assignment by Maryland State

ROBERT T. GRAY

Clinton (N. J.) Board of Education,
voted to accept the resignation of Robert
T. Gray a graduate of the University of
Maryland. (Agriculture 1 9 1 4) , as instructor
in vocational agriculture in Clinton High
School. Mr. Gray has been forced to re-
sign because of ill health, a position he had
held since 1926.

Twenty years ago the Clinton Board of
Education voted to establish a curriculum
in vocational agriculture that would serve
the interests and needs of farm people in
the Clinton High School area. It then re-
quested the State Supervisor of Agricultural
Education to help select a teacher of agricul-
ture to carry on the work. As a result of
interviews with several candidates. Mr.
Robert T. Gray who was a former teacher
of agriculture in Maryland and a former
county agricultural agent in West Virginia,
was unanimously elected by the Board to
fill the position.

In his early years at Clinton, Mr. Gray
not only taught vocational agriculture, but
also was active in coaching baseball and
football, and in teaching physical education.
He also organized an active chapter of the
Future Farmers of America, which his own
students designated as the "Farmer Gray"
chapter. As advisor of this chapter, he
has developed successful applicants for the
State public speaking contest and for the
State Farmer degree; and has interested his
students in high grade dairy animals, pull-
orum-tested chicks, hybrid corn, farm and
home safety, and soil conservation practices,
including the growing of soybeans and other
>oil-building crops. Thruout the years, too,

his students have demonstrated their ability
by winning trophies and other awards in
such state cooperative activities as judging
and project contests, pullet rearing, corn
glowing, apple pack.ng, and egg grading.
And it Farmer Gray's many students were
to speak, they would doubtless cite many
numerous edifying incidents that occurred
in the classroom and farm shop; and on
field trips, tours and project visitations,
not included here.

Ji ItlESSAQE OF IMPORTANCE!

ARYLAND after the publication of the alumni of the University of Mary-
land, herewith resumes publication under conditions which it hopes will enable
it to keep pace, in size and appearance, with the rapid growth of the Univer-
sity as a whole. It is the intention to make the magazine a medium of ex-
pression which should represent adequately the University and the State.

The University will finance the first three issues of the magazine.

Copies will be sent to every alumnus whose address is available. It is hoped

that after the first three issues, there will be sufficient alumni interest to
finance in large part, if not completely, the publication.

Also, plans are underway to develop, centralzie, and vitalize an or-
ganization of alumni of the University, so that alumni strength and influence
will be commensurate with the number of alumni. In this development the
new publication will play a vital part.

This issue of the magazine sets a standard that the University and
alumni should maintain.

The Editors herewith extend greetings to all, and ask your support-

COLLEGE ESSAY CONTEST

College winners of the $1 150 essay con-
test conducted by National Tax Equality
Association have been announced by the
faculty judges who supervised the contest.

This nation-wide contest had as its
theme: "The Tax Privilege of Public
Corporations and Cooperatives and its Im-
pact on Private Enterprise." National Tax
Equality Association is insisting that co-
operative corporations should be required
to pay Federal income taxes.

First prize in the contest — $750 cash —
was awarded to Miss Lila Fundaburk of
Luverne. Alabama. Miss Fundaburk is a
student at Northwestern University. Evan-
ston. Illinois. The second prize of $300
went to Kenneth Paul Sanow, a student at
the University of Chicago. John M. Doar
of New Richmond, Wisconsin, a student at
Princeton, won third prize of $100.

Miss Fundaburk, a graduate of the Ala-
bama College for Women. Montevallo,
Alabama, gave her winning check of $750
to that college as a gift.

The winning essays all agreed that public
corporations and cooperatives should forfeit
their tax privileges. Miss Fundaburk's win-
ning essay described this tax privilege as
follows:

"The tax privilege accorded cooperatives,
in particular producer cooperatives, though
not as uniform and as widespread as in the
case of publicly owned utilities is, neverthe-
less, substantial enough to reduce the effect-
iveness of competition, to diminish Federal
revenue by reducing the Federal tax base,
to increase the burden on productive tax-
paying enterprise and to create unfavorable
comparisons of operating efficiency with
privately owned taxpaying enterprises."

a new high with 3.200. There are 420
students in twelve fraternity houses, 829
in dormitories, 928 single veterans in tem-
porary barracks, 104 married veterans in
temporary apartments, 275 female students
in nine sorority houses and 641 girls in

away as Hancock, Md. For miles about
College Park homes in towns and farms are
accomodating students. Awaiting com-
pletion of barracks-dorms 350 former GI's
are housed in cots in the new armory. Meals
are in three shifts and chow lines are the
order of the day. with a cafeteria on the

other schools.

Big job to be done. Maryland can do it!

The Board of Public Works of Maryland, the governing body
for the State of Maryland, is composed of the Governor of the
State, the State Treasurer, and the State Comptroller. The Gover-
nor is Chairman. This Board now is composed of Governor
Herbert R. O'Conor, State Treasurer Hooper S. Miles, and State
Comptroller J. Millard Tawes.

It was the interest of this Board which provided the funds for
the construction of the Fire Service Extension Building. Already
conversant with the work of the Volunteer Firemen, the Board
readily recognized the potential values in the construction of a
Fire Service Extension Building, when the request for funds
was made by the State Firemen's Association and by the University.
The short course at the University, and the voluminous records
developed and maintained as a result of the extension course
given throughout the State for several years, caused the work
to outgrow its quarters in the Engineering Building, which made
iry a new structure devoted entirely to this purpose, was the
fust building for which funds were made avail-
ble by the Board of Public Works, and it is the
•st building completed under the University's
\v building program.

It should be mentioned that the Fire Service
xtension Building has been one of the primary
.lerests of the State Comptroller. J. Millard
"awes. As a former president of the State
emen's Association, the request for funds
n the erection of the State headquarters, to
ike more effective the work throughout the
tate. fell on willing ears. Said Mr. Tawes:

"I regard this building as an example of the

ar-reaching efforts on the part of the State

rnment to meet the needs of our people

for education and for more effective service, not

only in this field, but in other fields as well."

Governor Herbert R. O'Conor's brief but

pointed message:

"I have taken great pleasure and pride in the

this 1 Sen .ce Extension

Building project jusi an I have taken great pride

in the achievements

Tin' Fire Service E^ztension Building, Dedicated September 28th,

of the Volunteer
Firemen of the
State. I regard the
money the State has
put into this build-
ing, and the money
that it appropriates
for carrying on the
Fire Service Exten-
sion work, not an
expenditure, but as
an investment in the
s welfare I
am glad to have
b( n in a position
to eon'nbute to-'
waid this end. I
latulaie you
all on having this
new facility."

Mr. Miles, State

The Honorable
J. MILLARD TAWES,

State Com. trailer
Treasurer, in his characteristically modest
ways, says:

"It is a great job well done. This build-
ing, and the Fire Service Extension p»o-
gram, are significant of the University's
effort to render greater service to the people
of the State."

Dr. Byrd. President of the University,
has been an ardent supporter of the program,
and the dedication of the building was the
fulfillment of one of President Byrd's am-
bitions for this field of effort. He wel-
comed the Volunteer Firemen of the State
with these words:

"We welcome you on an occasion that
marks the fulfillment of the dream that
many of us have had for years, u e have
all worked, the State Firemen's Association,
the Governor, the State Treasurer, and the
State Comptroller, and the University, to
nake the Fire Service Extension more and
more successful, and we know that this
building will be the greatest single means
of accomplishing that objective. This build-
ing is evidence of a united eflort. and we
appreciate your presence as evidence of our
joint will to succeed.

Benefits Entire State

The Fire Service Extension work carried
on through the Engineering College under
Dean S. S. Steinberg and Chief J. W. Just
reaches into every corner of the State.
Lower insurance rates, conservation of pro-
perty, knowledge of how explosions occur
and how to prevent spontaneous com-
bustion, and all other matters incidental
to successful fire fighting and fire prevention,
are taught in the Fire Service Extension
work and. consequently, have saved millions
of dollars for the people of the State.

The University of Maryland is the Uni-
versity of tthe State and is the educational
organization through which the State
renders service to its people, ih.ough re-
search, teaching and extension. It will
continue to help build a Fire Service Ex-
tension program in Maryland so that,
ultimately, it will be eflective in saving
money for every citizen of Maryland

With the construction of new builJ-

ings for tht new Engineering College, the
Glen L. Martin College of Engineering
and Aeronautical Sciences, a new phase of
Fire Service Extension will begin, namely,
research. The University has on its
Engineering faculty, one of the best men in
the world in the field of explosives and
much will be done in this direction,
through the development of new methods cf
prevention and through determining more
of the factors that cause explosions. Also,
there is a wide field for research in fire-
proofing, particularly in relation to homes.
The Fire Service Extension will benefit
greatly through its close proximity and
through connection with the other depart-
ments of the University. Fire Service Ex-
tension has the support of people of the
State and actually is in its infancy. It is
not only the objective of thte University
and the State Firemen's Association to carry
the message to the fire companies of the
State, but ultimately through the public
schools to the children and the people of
the State.

The Honorable
HOOPER S. MILES,

State Treasurer

Seventeen years ago during a session of
the Legislature at Annapolis, Chief Jesse
A. Fisher, of the Annapolis Company, asked
Dr. Byrd. then assistant to the President
of the University if a "Fire College" could
he established at the University to teach
Volunteer Firemen of the State how to
fight fires, conservation of property, about
spontaneous explosions, etc. The then
assistant to the President said he would
rake up the matter and try to arrange it.
This was done, and shortly after that Chief
Fisher, on formal motion of the State
Firemen's Association, appointed a com-
mittee to wait upon the officals of the
University of Maryland and to arrange for
a Short Course for firemen on the Uni
versity campus.

As a result of these conferences the first
Short Course was held in September of
1930 with an attendance of approximately
50 men. These short courses became a

peimanent event and have been held each
year since with the exception of the four
war years.

The Short Course was resumed again
this year with an attendance of over 250,
which included repjesentation from Maine,
New York, Connect cut, Pennsylvania,
Delaware, Virginia, West Virginia, Tennes-
see and the District of Columbia.

The instructional staff of this year's
school was made up of top flight men
in their fields and came from Massachusetts,
Illinois, Indiana. North Carolina, New
York, West Virginia and the District of
Columbia.

The orginial Short Course was held for
three days but has been increased to four
full days.
Established in 1937

Tn 193 7, upon further representation
from the Maryland State Firemen's Associ-
ation, the University established a Fire
Service Extension Department to carry on
a full-time training program in Maryland.
Mr. R. B. Criswell, of Ohio, was the first
Director of this program until his untimely
death in January of 1939. Following Mr.
Criswell's death, Chief Just came to the
University in February, 193 9, from Wis-
consin, to carry on the program.

The Fire Service Extension Department
is organized under the College of Engineer-
ing in cooperation with the State Depart-
ment of Education, and operates with the
aid of both Federal and State funds. The
Department provides in-service training for
firemen through classes conducted through-
out the State by Local Instructors. Last
vear some 750 men were enrolled in 36
classes throughout the State.

A Basic Training Course (Section I)
of seventy-five clock hours is given in the
fundamentals of firemanship. as well as ?"
Advanced Course (Section II) ui sixty-
nine clock hours, covering the technical
field of fire prevention, control and ex-
tinguishment, and a third course (Section
III) of fifty -seven hours, covering still

CHIEF JAS. W. JUST,

D. rector, F.re Service Extension,
University of Maryland

more advanced subjects in firemanship, such
as "Air Crash Fire Fighting and Rescue";
"Elenentary Science in the Fire Service";
"Dust Explosions," etc. A training course
of forty-five clock hours for Industrial Plant
Fire Brigades has also been provided. This
makes available 246 clock hours of class
time in firemen's training courses. Firemen
who have completed the prescribed training
courses have been given preferential rating in
positions in the military and naval fire
fighting forces.

The Department serves in an advisory
capacity to the State Fire Marshal and
municipal authorities in matters of fire
prevention, fire protection engineering,
safety regulations and kindred subjects.
Frequent training courses are given for
State and Municipal Fire Marshals.

With the completion of the added fa-
cilities, short courses will be conducted
for Janitors and Building Custodians,
Watchmen, Nurses and Hospital Attendants,
Teachers and other like groups interested
in the preservation of life and property.

ACTIVITY EXTENDED

To meet the demands of the war emer-
gency, the Director, J. W. Just, was made
State Fire Defence Co-ordinator and the
Department expanded its activity to the
tiaining of auxiliary fire forces and rescue
units in defense duties. There was also pro-
vided a comprehensive training course of
twenty-four clock hours in connection with
Incendiaries, War Gases, Infernal Machines,
Sabotage, and Fire Fighting as Applied to
Military Explosives and Ammunition, that
was made available for all Civilian Defense
groups.

The rapid expansion of the Department's
activities since its inception in October
193 7, developed a need for larger quarters
and greatly increased facilities which re-
sulted in the building that is being officially
dedicated today.

The Fire Service Extension Department
is available to the citizens of Maryland for
any cooperation or advice in fire protection
matters.

Herewith is a brief summary of the
activities in firemen's training since its
beginning in Maryland:

HEARD AT ZAL'S

"Whatever became of Horace P. Quigmire?"

"Good old Horace P. He got his degree from
Pharmacy, went to work in a chain drug store
and had to come right back to school again".

"What was wrong?"

"He hadn't learned how to make a lettuce,
tomato and mayonnaise sandwich so he enrolled
in Home Ec to round out his education".

I strongly feel that the opportunity to
study agriculture should be extended to
all future farmers, as learning to farm from
experience can prove to be tremendously
costly both to the individual and the agri-
cultural resources of the nation".

SNAPPY

affairs. Dottie, who was a Tri-Delt, was
Mortar Board among her many activities,

and Gene, a Sigma Chi. took in about
everything including ODK. He also was
managing editor of the Diamondback and
manager of the baseball team.

She didn't supply many details on Gene's
war service, saying only that he had
served in England and France as a sergeant
in the 9th Air Force.

It truly can be said that the Eastern
Shore has gained. May the Sullivans con-
tinue to grow and prosper.

P. S. — Dottie was good enough to say:
"One of the best ways to keep up with our
traveling friends from Maryland is to read
the Alumni News. Keep up the good
work."

and Dr. Thomas G. Pullen, jr., Maryland
State Superintendent of Schools.

VETERAN PLANS

Several new projects at Maryland have
been established by the Veterans' Club.

Planned now is a commissary, somewhat
reminiscent of the "P Ex", at which vet-
erans will be able to purchase food at
wholesale prices. It is also hoped that a
sufficient supply of milk may be secured
from the dairy so that that item, too, may
be sold at cost.

The Vets' Club is the largest single
organization on campus because of the
number of service men registered. Total
veteran enrollment is 4400.

The club issued a call for men who are
interested in participating in the Varsity
Show, which the veterans will sponsor in
February.

An invitation has been sent other col-
legiate veterans' organizations to exchange
ideas of mutual interest.

Several veterans were delegated to attend
the Student Veteran Planning Conference
at the University of Pennsylvania. Problems
to be discussed include housing, higher sub-
s'stencc allotments, and the size of classes.

Plans are also being advanced to coordi-
nate the collective weight of veteran student
opinion to back legislation dealing with
the educational benefits of the G. I. Bill.

MUNRO LEAF

This 1936 Graduate of the University of Mary-
land is internationally famous for having created
Ferdinand, the Bull.

The world knows the story about the bit?
handsome bull who had weight, looks, class,
speed. He had everything BUT THE DESIRE
TO FIGHT.

Mr. Leaf comes up for mention each year
when the boxing season rolls around and the
ring coach has a tough time finding heavy-
weights. It is then that some unkind soub
offer the thought that, possibly, Mr. Leaf got
his inspiration for Ferdinand from campus 200

P. T. A. CONFERENCE

A three-day conference of the Maryland
Congress of Parents and Teachers was
held at the University of Maryland.

Mrs. Newton P. Leonord of Providence
R. I., representing the National Congress
of Parents and Teachers, was among the
speakers at the first morning session in
the university's new administration building.

Mrs. Robert G. Doty, Cumberland,
State president, also greeted the reprentatives
at the opening session and explained the
purpose of the meeting.

In the first afternoon session, Dr. H. C.
Byrd. president of the university addressed
the delegates.

Mrs. L. P. Ditman, chairman of by-laws
of the Maryland congress, was one of the
1 aders of an open forum the same afternoon.

The conference concluded with the

MAN FROM MARYLAND

Lieutenant Colonel John J. Gormley, highly
decorated Marine officer and a stand out in the
fiercest actions in the Pacific where he served
as a Battalion Commander.

B. S. 1937, Gormley was selected for the
regular Marine Corps from tthe Maryland
campus. The Marines made no mistake. Gormley
was a standout in baseball, football and boxing
— one of Maryland's best ; Silvester Medal for
Athletic Excellence ; Southern Conference's best
blocking backfield star; with a broken hand
winning tthe three points needed to give Mary-
land its first Southern Conference Boxing
Championship. He showed the same resource-
fulness and fortitude he had displayed in Uni-
versity athletics when the greater fight came
off in the Pacific. Gormley is now stationed in
Washington and is a frequent visitor to the
College Park campus.

'LET US BE BIG!'

THi/ 1/ a ytAc rcc greatne/j

(V* 11 HIS is a year for greatness — and men
\S) can be great by the grace of Christ.
There are perhaps three outstanding dreams
for which most men live. There are those
who live to be secure. There are those who
live to be loved. There are those who live
to be significant. I've thought a long time
about those three longings of the human
heart, and I have come to one conclusion.
A man will never be secure in this kind of
world until he fulfills the conditions of security. A man will
never be loved until he fulfills the conditions of being loved. A
man will never be significant, surely within the Christian frame-
work of personality, until he fulfills the conditions of significance.
All three of these add up to the same total. That total reads:
A man must be truly great if he is to be secure, if he is to be
loved, and if he is to be significant.

But what is a great man? Let's draw a sharp distinction
between a great man and a famous man. Many great men are
famous, but most great men are not. A moron, for example,
thanks to highpowered advertising, can have a national reputation
in thirty days. But that will not make him great. And. further,
notice that greatness does not mean a dif-
ference in kind, but in degree. Thus a man
may be great on a one-talent pattern or
a five-talent or a ten-talent. You see, all
true greatness is cut off the same cloth.

I am indebted to a friend for three words
by which to describe, it seems to me, a
truly great person.

The first of these three words is GOOD.
A man must be good if he is to be great.
Before a man can be professionally great
or intellectually great or politically great,
he must be a great person. In other words,
greatness is moral before it is social, intel-
lectual, or prefessional.

And now comes one of the hardest
questions in the world: What is a good
person? There is perhaps more unanimity
of opinion on the makeup of the stars than
on what constitutes a good life. How is
this for a practical, working answer? A
good man is one who deserves to be trusted.
He may not be trusted, but he des.rves to
be. That's the fundamental mark of a good
man. So that a much more essential word
than Love is confidence. It is the root from
which love grows, blossoms, and blooms.
Let's illustrate this idea.

A famous queen is said to have made
this prayer, "O God, keep me innocent,
make others great". The queen evidently
forgot that innocence is impossible, and that
greatness includes goodness as its first

constituent. What I think she really said was, "O God. keep
me good, make others great". But she overlooked the fact that
greatness includes goodness as its first ingredient.

One of my Washington parishioners said to me. "I would
have more confidence in my surgeon if I did not know so much
about his personal life". Precisely. It is often tragic that many
public characters are, in their private lives, not so well balanced
as they are in their public performances.

I am thinking of another Washington friend who is able to
do his work in about eight languages. A young lady said to me
recently, "My, he's a great man. He can read eight languages".
To which I replied, "Yes, he is a great fellow, but not because
he can speak eight languages, for you see he could be a liar in
all eight". In like manner, the test of a man is not whether he
can do higher mathematics, but whether he is honest in simple
arithmetic. Thus, professional skill must be preceded by personal
integrity and character, if a man is to be truly great.

Well, here is where Jesus comes in. You remember the line
in the old hymn, "He died to make us good". I believe it is
fair to say that no other person or influence in history has produced

A Timely and Inspiring
Message To All

By DR. O. F. BLACKWELDER

Church of the Reformation,
Washington, D. C.

DR. BLACKWELDER

To be good, to be useful, to bs courageous.

so many dependable people as has Jesus
From a social point of view alone He justifies
Himself by the production of dependable men
and women, people you can trust.

One day Simon Peter had a moment of
special penitence and unworthiness, and cried
out to Jesus. "Depart from me for I am a
sinful man. O Lord". And. of course, that
is exactly what Jesus would not do. He
stayed by Peter, started a private revolution
in Peter's life, and out of it came a character of rock. He can do
that for us, too.

The Psalmist prayed, "Create in me a clean heart, O God,
and renew a right spirit within me". That prayer was never
really answered until Jesus came. He pulls triggers in men's
consciences. He gives them sharpness of moral judgment. He
makes men good. Therefore, a man must be good in order to
be great, and he really can be good only by the help and grace
of Christ.

But a man may be good for nothing, so that as we try to
analyze a great man there is a second word to describe him. He
must be good for something, that means he must be USEFUL.

There are days of adversity, especially
for young people. They are the chief
sufferers of the world. And such days of
adversity for every one of us are times to
examine our motives, our ambitions, and
our desires. What are you and I living
for? In days when so many are giving their
lives and their health and their future for
others, the question must come home to
every one of us. What are we living for?
What is the meaning of life, anyhow? Let's
try to get at that question.

The first purpose of an education is to
enable a man honestly to earn a living.
For those of us with normal health and
strength, the first description of a useful
man is one who is able to carry his own
weight and pull his own load. Who. ex-
cept a weakling, wants to be guaranteed
security from cradle to grave? But the test
of usefulness is not simply to carry our
own load. We must carry it with a margin.
Tell me how much you can do and are
doing beyoid actually supporting yourself
ar.d your iamily, and I w 11 tell you how
useful you are. The world goej forward
only upon the shoulders of men and wcmen
who support themselves, plus. Isn't that
the principle of Jesus? "Except your right-
eousness shall exceed the righteousne s of
the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no
case enter into the kingdom of heaven. . .
What do. ye more than others?"

I want to enter here a word of reserve. There are many people
with physically frail bodies, known to society as shut-ins, whose
beds of affliction have become communitv and family alt.irs
We light our torches at their candles. We refresh our spirits
at their springs. They may seem a burden and a liability, but
I am personally acquainted with so many of the sick and of the
shut-ins that I know they often render a spiritual, an inspirational,
a courage-building contribution to all who meet them. Even
though they are physically frail, they share that intangible
something which moves men's hearts. Shut-ins are not exceptions
to the principle I am pleading for — they illustrate it.

There is a prominent inscription in Washington that reads.
"Justice is the foundation of sce'ety". I don't believe it. Men who
do justice only meet their fellow men half way, but they don't
build a better wo _ ld. Men who bless society — the discoverers,
the inventors, the pioneers, the creative spirits, the saints — don't
stop with doing justice. The clash of mutual self-interest doesn't
make the world better. The kinds of people by whom this
world progresses are those who do justice with a great big plus.

Suppose everybody in the world was able
to carry his load unaided, and did just
that, do you think the world would get
anywhere? I don't think so. I believe it
would simply mark time. Indeed, the world
idvances upon the shoulders of people who
do carry their load with a margin.

There are some outstanding illustrations,
of course — men with great margins who
illustrate the principle. Take Thomas A.
Edision. I suppose he could have supported
his family with an hour's work a day, but
the world is richer because he often worked,
as I understand, twenty hours a day. Dr.
George Washington Carver, the great Negro
scientist, could have met his simple wants
with a few moments work each day, but
the world is far richer because he toiled on
and on in his laboratory. Well, that's the
principle which every one of us must seek
to follow. Carry your load with a margin.
And that measures our usefulness. How
useful are we?

These are days that compel us to get
our thinking straight Consciences will haunt
us, when we think of the suffering and
sacrifices of others, if we do not "come
clean" with life.

A Minimum Person

May God save us from being minimum
persons. And what is a minimum person?
He is one who lives for food, shelter, sex
and position. He is the boaster, the bully,
the easily angered and the self-seeker. You
see that the business of Christ is to make
maximum persons.

I believe the following formula will
prove true. Assuming that a man is nor-
mally healthy, if he is lazy, indifferent,
and selfish, it is proof that he is out of
touch with Christ. No man can be in touch
with Christ and lose his initiative. Christ
sharpens a man's personality. He puts a
cutting edge on his talents. If you want
to see a glorious example of what I am
trying to plead for, take a look at Mme
Chiang Kai-shek. Read her confession of
faith. You simply don't produce people
like Mme Chiang Kai-shek apart from
Christ. That's Christ mission in the world.

Let's Be Big
There are those who hold that the un-
stable ages are the creative ages. May this
be an age like that. And a man cannot be
a creative thinker unless he begins with his
own motives, ambitions, and desires.

Rise up, O men of God,
Have done with lesser things.

Lesser themes for lesser days — let's be
big. And I ask you, how big is your
margin? To be useful by the grace of Christ
is to be great.

But there is at least one more word to
say. A man may be good and he may be
useful, yet have only a present tense. But
a great man has, also, a future tense, for
he has achieved the sense of destiny. That
means he must be COURAGEOUS.

You may know the story qf that little
group of travelers who were huddled around
a campfire on one December 31, as they
watched the old year pass. One of them
lamented his vanished gold; another, his
faded honors; a third, his false friends;
and the forth, his lost loved ones. But the
last one told his story in a verse:

Sad losses ye have met
But mine is sadder yet —
The believing heart
Is gone from me.

May I tell you why that is the greatest
loss in life? The outstanding need of us all
today is courage without hate. And how
arc we going to get it? By whistling in
the dark? I don't think so. By clenching
your fists and determining to see a hard
job through? That helps. By the cocktail
hour? I don't think so. Here is the real
secret of courage. Tell me what and Whom
you believe in, and I will tell you your
courage. Let's see how that works.

Opinions are ideas men hold, but con-
victions are ideas that hold men. Great
ideals, great ideas, eternal principles, con-
victions based on these principles are the
hands of God by which He holds men and
makes them brave. Tell me what and
Whom you belive in. and I will tell you
your courage.

A little while past I heard Stanley Jones
use words like these: "I don't know how
this old world is coming out but I believe
that the future belongs to those who be-
long to Christ". The poet was right, "Till
Thou hast bound me fast I am not free" —
nor brave.

Every night in these times, before I go
to sleep, as far as I can control my last
fading though. I try to say this over to
myself:
Change and decay in all all around I see

Thou who changest not. abide with me.

The man whom Christ holds has the
secret of abiding courage. When a man is
thus held, he can believe in the high and
eternal when the low and tragic are around
him everywhere. He is sure that something
enternal is being accomplished in the midst
of this painful and difficult world, and he
is struggling to find out what is going on
and to share in it to the full. He believes
each man has his part to do in history,
assigned by Him who presides over all
history.

For thirteen years I have worked on
Capitol Hill in Washington. Next in my
affections to my own study, my favorite
spot on the Hill is the lighted dome of the
C ipitol Building. From Pearl Harbor until
V 1 night the dome was dark. Frequently

1 'ork at my Church late in the evening.
D> ing the blackout of the dome on a
pi icular dark night, as I rounded the
Cr, tol near midnight with the sky as
*•'-• •. as ink, one glorious star hung o'er
rbv Capitol dome. I got out of my car.
""'■" star seemed to say to me. "You love
rbii dome?" And I answered. "I certainly
do" The star seemed to reply. "I am only
par' of the light that never will be blacked
oul I am part of the light that the dark-
est night cannot put out. Follow my
light, and Him of whose light I am only
a part, and find as many others as you can,
to follow, too. Then some day this dome
that you love may be relighted again". It
was!

So may we be great — great by the grace
of Christ. That will mean: To be good,
to be useful, to be courageous.

a gavel made from the teak wood forward
deck of the Battleship MARYLAND.

"It affords me great pleasure to present
this gavel to the University of Maryland,"
said Chaplain Keimel, "made from the
decks of the U. S. S. MARYLAND. It
is fitting and proper that a gavel made from
one of the fighting ships of the Navy,
which did its full part in winning the
recent World War II in the Pacific, should
be given to the University of Maryland
which, with its sister colleges and universi-
ties, may assist us all in the orderly pro-
cedure of winning and establishing a fair
and firm peace for all mankind."

FOR A SOUND BODY

PHYSICAL I IBM V\ STRESSED

THE axiom. "A sound mind in a sound body," will become more than a mean-

ingless shibboleth when Maryland's new College of Military Science and Tactics,
Physical Education and Health Education, begins to function full swing with
particular attention being devoted to tthe "sound body".

Colonel Harlan C. Griswold. U. S. Army, is acting Dean of the new College
with Dr. Louis Raymond Burnett in charge of Physical Education and Health
Education. Dr. Burnett was formerly director of physical education and health
education in Baltimore's schools.

One of the outstanding features of this new college is the opportunity for
veterans to major in Military Science, and to offer some of their service activity as
transferable credit to the college.

The entire physical training program has been placed under the Military De-
partment and will be conducted in close cooperation with, and largely as a part
of, the Reserve Officers Training Corps unit.

Plans now are being drawn for buildings to increase the physical facilities available
for these sports and for physical training. These facilities include the construction
of swimming pools for men and women, a new stadium, and an addition to the
women's field house, and a new building for indoor sports.

The general plan of physical training for men will involve six major lines.
These comprise military drills, general competitive games on an intramural basis,
boxing, wrestling, judo and swimming. Under the direction of Dr. Burnett,
the competitive games will be used as a laboratory in which to train future teachers
of physical education. One man will head each sport, and probably be head coach
of that sport.

The plan provides that the 2500 freshmen and sophomores who will normally
be enrolled in the ROTC Unity will all engage in these sports, and from them will
be selected the varsity teams. Insofar as possible, the complete staff for the physical
training program will b: drawn fiom former University athletes and physical
training graduates who have been serving in the army the last war years in physical
training capacities.

All men students will take military training. If a man is not physically able
to engage in military drill, he will be placed in corrective excercise classes. Physical
examinations will be given to all men when they enter the University, and it is
their intention to determine what disabilities they may have and then take such
steps as may be necessary to remove or correct handicaps, insofar as possible.

Administratively, the physical activities and training for women will be in the
new college. The progiam generally will be expanded.

AIR ROTC PROGRAM

A far-reaching Army Air Forces Officers
Training Corps program, designed to pro-
vide the AAF with a steady flow of college-
trained officers, began this Fall at 76 col-
leges and universities including the Uni-
versity of Maryland throughout the United
States with facilities available for an en-
rollment of 16.200 students.

ROTC courses will be available to 7,200
elementary and 9.000 advanced students.
Future plans anticipate participation by
50,000 students at 150 colleges. For some
years prior to the war, the Army Air
Forces had no ROTC units. A few which
had existed previously were abolished in
the mid-30's when limited training funds
were concentrated on the production of
pilots.

The four-year program for Air ROTC
students will consist of a two-year elemen-
tary course and a two-year advanced course
lead-'ng to a commission as second lieutenant
in the Air Reserve, General Partridge said.

Elementary students will receive general
instruction to give them a foundation of
basic military knowledge. Advanced stu-
dents will be taught the background, history,
and various administrative, tactical and
technical aspects of the Army Air Forces
during the third vear of the course. Fourth-
year students will receive specialized in-
struction to qualify them for definite duty
assignments in the AAF, such as a com-
munications, engineering, or transportation
officer.

The particular course offered to the
student during his final year will depend
upon the academic course he is studying and
the courses available in his Air ROTC
unit. Within certain lim ; tations, students
enrolled in electrical engineering, for ex-
ample, may take the Air ROTC com-
munications course, and students taking
business management may take the ad-
ministration course.

Between the junior and senior year. Air
ROTC students will attend a six-week
summer camp and put into practical appli-
cation the theory learned in school and
receive instruction in courses not presented
on the campus.

Orientation flight training will be pro-
vided in the final year of the course and
qualified students who desire to enter AAF
flying schools will be checked at the end
of this training. Students who show suf-
ficient aptitude will be granted a high
priority for selection as student officers at
one of the AAF's flying schools. Air ROTC
graduates who undertake this train : ng will
do so as commissioned officers and will enter
a program especially designed for such
graduates to avoid repetition of instruction
previously given.

The program is open to all college
students. Veterans of military service may
rece : ve special benefits, with the approval
of the Professor of Military Science and

Tactics of the institution and its President.
These benefits include credit for the first

military service. If he had served one year
or longer he would be permitted to enter
directly into the advanced course.

Instructors will be qualified AAF officers

graduated from a special school established
for Air ROTC instructors at Perrin Field,
Sherman, Texas. Aproximately 600 in-
structors will be needed 300 officers and
3 00 enlisted men.

FOR VETERANS

Veterans Administration Training Offi-
cers at the University of Maryland have
advised veteran students that there are many
points of importance embodied in the rules
and regulations contained in Public Law 16,
346, and 679, which provide educational
veterans benefits or Veterans of World
War II.

Veteran students must enroll for at least
1 2 semester hours of work in order to
draw full subsistence. Disabled veterans in
training under Public Law 16 must enroll
for the minimum of 1 2 semester hours and
they will not be permitted to remain in
training unless they carrv this load.

Veterans who filed for their educational
benefits in any other area but that of the
Washington. D. C. Regional Office must
fill out a change of Address form. (V. A.
572) in duplicate, and leave it with the
Veterans Administration representatives on
th; Maryland Campus.

Veteran students must consult with and
obtain the approval of the Veterans Admin-
istration Training Officer on the Campus,
in regard to all matters connected with
their training, such as changes of enroll-
ment, dropping courses, adding of courses,
transfer from on» College to another within
the University, >tc.

"O SHOPPING CENTER

College Park's elaborate $350,000 shop-
ping center was denied approval by the
Civilian Production Administration. The
center was turned down on these four
counts, E. M. Synan, District CPA con-
struction manager, said:

1. The need for it in the community
had not been established to CPA's satis-
faction.

2. It would create too heavy an impact
on the veterans' housing program. Synan
pointed out that he was forced to make
the ruling although the contractor had made
every possible effort to eliminate the use
of critical materials in his plans.

3. Construction of new veterans' homes
had made present shopping facilities in-
adequate, and

4. The area had experienced only normal
growth over the past year and therefore no
real need was apparent.

TOMMY MONT

Maryland Quarterback

TWO TEAM SOLUTION?

k N interesting football study is offered
t/1 at Maryland in the conviction of
Coach Clark Shaughnessy and his aides
ihat hopes for success in the final games in
November lies in adhering strictly to a
"two-team plan.''

Four games have been played. Two were
won and one lost with the two-team plan
in force and another was dropped when
an attempt was made to consolidate the two
outfits, known as Vic Turyn's lightweights
and Tommy Mont's heavyweights.

There are no troubles within the Ter.a-
pin ranks. Everyone is eager to win. It is
a strictly unique postwar grid problem,
narrowing down to the simple fact that
Turyn's all 1945 lettermen outfit, lacking
the age and physical power of Mont's team,
played almost as a unit last season and in
spring practice and consequently has func-
tioned more smoothly than a bunch of
fellows thrown together for the first time.

Turyn's team played most of the game
and the better football, offensively and
defensively, in beating Virginia Tech.
However, Coach Shaughnessy and his co-
workers are confident the heavies will find
themselves.

None of Mont's team, except Mont,
Wright, and Chovanes, who were regulars
on Shaughnessy s 1942 T'.rp eleven, ever
played together. Guaid Hmile Fritz, who
would shine on ANY outfit, is the only
1945 letterman on the "big" squad.

Aga'.nst Virginia Tech the "Turyn
Team", consisting of Vic Turyn, Pat
McCarthy. Walter Fehr, Dick Johnston.
Gene Kinner. Ed Schwatz, Joe Drach. Bob
C:osland. Bill Poling, Harry Bonk and
Sammy Behr, averaged 21.47 years and
177 pounds. The figures will remain the
same if Bob Piker or Bob Troll replace
the injured Sammy B.hr.

In the same game the "Mont Team",
made up of Tommy Mont, George Simler.
Jim Goodman. Ed Chovanes, Jim Kurz,
Emile Fritz. Randy Bishop. Fred Davis,
Vjrnon S?ibert. Lucien Gambino and Reds
Wright, averaged 23.4 years and 201.3
pounds.

TERPS TOP SAILORS

In mist-shrouded Byrd Stadium, a ca-
pacity crowd, standing room only and end
zone seats filled. Clark Shaughnessy turned
loose his new University of Maryland
ball club. They defeated a devastated Bain-
bridge Naval Training Center eleven lay in
its wake, crumpled by a 54 — score.

The Commodores heavy, but tottering
line was drilled as the Old Line backs,
provided with terrific interference, drove up

and down the field like a herd of Sherman
tanks. Bainbridge. once one of the nation's
greatest Service teams, appeared as though
they were going to give the Terps a little
trouble for a few brief moments, but once
the Old Liners began to move, they did
so almost at will.

Maryland scored once in the first quarter,
three times in the second, and twice again in
the third and fourth periods. The only time
Bainbridge had a chance to score came in
the dying moments of the game when
Francis Curran, standing on his own 30,
let go with a long heave to Johnny Lowery
and the Bainbridge player appeared well on
his way to the races when, suddenly, Ver-
non Seibert took up the chase, ove. hauled
him and pulled the sailor down at the
Maryland 1 1 .

Sammy Behr, the Talladega twister,
bioke away for a 34-yard run in the late
period for the Terps initial score. The
shifty scatback broke through his own left
tackle, then reversed his field, and reached
pay dirt standing up.

Tony Gambino, a husky 200-pound
halfback, came up with Maryland's second
score early in the second quarter. The
powerful running Chicagoan took the ball
from Tommy Mont, after the Terp quarter-
back had faked a pass, and sprinted 45
yards through a broken field, for the
touchdown.

Big strapping 218-pound Jack "Reds"
Wright, pushed over from the one-yard
1 ne to score the first of his two tallies.
And in the waning moments of the second
stanza, Seibert broke away and slithered
25 yards to make if to pay dirt.

Pat McCarthy, the lanky former St.
John's end, accounted for Maryland's fifth
touchdown, which came as soon as the Old
Liners got possession of the ball in the
third period. Joe Mocha, who used to play
for Shaughnessy at Pitt, pitched a perfect
strike from the 12 to McCarthy at the
four and the big fellow loped over un-
molested.

Behr came up with his second touchdown
at the fag end of the third quarter when
he streaked 13 yards to climax a sustained
drive of 3 9 yards.

In the final frame, Leroy Morter snatched
a 37-yard toss from Quarterback Turyn
to hang the seventh tally on the scoreboard.
The final touchdown of the game came
when Wright bulled his way through the
center of the line for four yards.

SOUTHERN LIGHTNING

Close to 12.000 Maryland fans watched
the highly touted Terps take it on the chin
from under rated Richmond. The crowd
took a pasting too.

3 7 to 7 the Spiders tore off gains, tossed
passes, pushed through Maryland's line and
generally won pulled up and going away
from a team the ^experts had rated far
ahead of Richmond. A short pass from
Fenlon to Savage and a 3 5 -yard run scored
first. Laluna smashed across for the next
one. Collecting on a Maryland fumble
Timberlake smashed over for another talley.
Hofbauer scored the fourth touchdown after
a 23 yard run. Ralston took a long pass
to score again and Billingsly, intercepting

a long Maryland pass, took in 5 8 yards
to the pay counter. Conversion accounted
for the additional point.

Maryland's only tally came on a pass
fiom Mont to Emmett Shaughnessy with
the Terps heaving the ball desperately.

Those who did not witness the debacle
can pretty well get an idea from the fact
that Richmond gained 204 yards to 54 for
Maryland. The reason for ALL post war
teams is obvious whether it is football,
basketball, boxing or what not. No one

knows what the other fellow has. Its a
gamble. Everybody stuck their hands in
the ex-GI grab bag. Richmond did O. K.
They look like a mighty good ball club.
As for Maryland, well, everything went
wrong. It was one of those nights and
recalled Jimmy Durante's story about the
guy who tried to fix the cuckoo clock. He
took all the innards out and put 'em back
in wrong. So every hour the cuckoo backed
out and asked, "What time is it?"

North Carolina took advantage of the
breaks and piled up a 3 3-to-O score against
Maryland at Chapel Hill.

The Tar Heels rolled to a touchdown
in every quarter and added an extra one
in the final period while the Terps' offense
bogged down every time it edged into
North Carolina territory.

Drenching rain fell and the game was
played in the muck.

Two of the Tar Heel scores came after
blocked kicks and two others resulted from
intercepted passes. The passing of Tommy
Mont, who completed 16 of 25 for 104
yards, put Maryland in scoring position
several times, but the attack always bogged
down. At one period of the game Mont
hit the targets seven times in a row.

Maryland offered its best scoring effort
early in the third quarter when the visitors
marched 43 yards to the North Carolina
44. but the attack fizzled out.

Maryland's passing attack, used in des-
perate fourth-quarter scoring attempt,
boomeranged when the Tar Heels hauled
down one of Vic Turyn't tosses on the
Maryland 22 and scampered the rest of the
way for the final tally.

TERPS EDGE GOBBLERS

Maryland's football team boomeranged
back from two severe lickings to upset a
favored V.P.I, eleven, 6 — 0, before a
capacity crowd.

The truculent Terps appeared to have
the game sewed up in the waning moments
when a V.P.I, back was scooting for pay-
dirt that could easily have won the game.

Tommy Mont had punted into the end
zone and V.P.I, had taken over on its 20-
yard line with little time left.

Bruce Gobbler, signal caller, took the
ball from center and lateraled to Walton
near the sidelines, who let go with a heave
to Beard on the midfield stripe. Beard
was off to market. Mont started tearing
after him. The fleet Maryland quarterback
caught the Gobbler on the five-yard line.

Mont, whom Coach Shaugnessy calls the
best "T" formation quarterback in collegiate
football, thus saved the game but it re-
mained for Vic Turyn, Harry Bonk and
Bill Poling to win it. Turyn did most of
the signal-calling and Poling did just about
everything else. He scored the winning
touchdown and his punts were what Mary-
land has lacked all season. Bonk hit the
line hard, often and effectively. Behr played
a brilliant game as did also McCarthy,
Fritz, Goodman and Johnston.

Maryland scored when Poling went over
from the 13 yard line after a drive of 63
yards.

FEW BETTER

When Emile Fritz, Maryland guard, was
not selected for all Conference honors,
Marylanders were greatly surprised. They
thought Emile was just about the best
guard in the Southern Conference.

SCALPED!

Powerful William and Mary, playing
with an eye on the Conference title, and
a bowl bid, overwhelmed Maryland at Wil-
liamsburg. 41.7.

Coach Rube McCray. an outspoken foe
of the T-formation, watched his ever-im-
pioving young club run its point total to
280 for the season and march to its fifth
consecutive conference triumph.

A passing attack that accounted for 211
yards and four touchdowns was the key
to victory. The big Ind an line gave its
passer sample protection and from the
pocket completed five of seven forward
passes, including two touchdowns tosses
from a dead run.

Vic Turyn's Maryland lightweights, with
Paul Massey and Jack Poling in star roles,
romped down field in two 50-odd yard
drives in the first period, but then the
Indians got tough and completely bottled
the Terps.

Emmet Shaughnessy who saved Mary-
land from a shutout in its one-sided defeat
at the hands of Richmond, helped the
Terps into the scoring column in the gath-
ering dusk. He blocked a Buddy Lex punt
on the Indians 10, and after Ed Reider
made 9 yards Lavine scored.

JEFFERSON SAID:

THE FATE OF ANY democratic
government hangs upon the perilous hope
that every citizen can and will do his own
thinking.

I know no safe depository of the ultimate
powers of society but the people themselves:
and if we think them not enlightened
enough to excercise their control with a
wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to
take it from them, but to inform their
discretion by education.

MARYLAND SAILOR

Lieutenant Commander Albert F. Farrell,
former Bainbridge sports mentor, is one
of the University of Maryland's finest
athletic products. He is now stationed at
the Naval Air Station, Anacostia.

Graduating wtih the class of 1937 from
the University of Maryland, Farrell made
a success of the athletic experience acquired
at Maryland. Upon completing college he
became athletic director for the Washington
Metropolitan Police Boys Club. In 1942
he entered the Navy to tour both the
European and Pacific theatres and to con-
tinue his work with sports.

Comdr. Farrell began his athletic career
during high school days at Gonzaga when

he earned 12 letters in football, baseball,
boxing, and basketball. At Maryland he
was a nine letter man in the same sports.
Before entering the Navy his job in Wash-
ington primarily centered around the organi-
zation of the huge Boys Club project now
in full swing in that city.

Lieutenant Commander Farrell took his
indoctrination at the Naval Academy, and
was assigned to the Anacostia Navial Air
Station, Anacostia, D. C. There he organ-
ized and coached boxing, golf, baseball and
tennis. He carried on the same program at
the Preflight school in Chapel Hill, N. C,
and Hutchinson. Kansas. In Kansas he
produced one of the best boxing teams in
that part of the middle west.

The ex-Maryland athlete served abroad
several transports end tankers in and out
of European ports until the Nazis were
defeated and then against the Japanese until
they quit. Then he returned to the States.

Lt. Comdr. Farrell holds a high record
at Bainbridge. He began coaching boxing
teams which copped the District of Columbia
Golden Gloves and Maryland State AAU
championships. His teams participated in
the National tournaments in New York and
Boston. The 1946 Commodore baseball
team, whuh he coached, enjoyed a successful
season, with 36 wins and 1 1 defeats.

Although Comdr. Farrell has not com-
pletely decided on his post war plans, he
has been approached by several colleges for
public relations and coaching duties. He
plans to continue his work in athletics.

The University also reported the return
from the Army of Frank Cronin, former
star on the 193 9 Maryland ring team.
Cronin, who can be recalled as Maryland's
surprise package 155-pounder on that 1939
team, will assist Head Coach Heinie Miller
with the 1946-47 boxing team.

Cronin never had boxed before when he
developed as a star back in 1939. He wen',
through an undefeated season that year and
topped it by winning the Southern Con-
ference title at his weight. Cronin was on
active duty as a Major in the Army.

Maryland experienced many coaching
changes in boxing during the war years,
incidentally, due, of course, to the many
mentors entering the service. Miller moved
out in 1940 to command Washington's
Fifth Marine Reserve Battalion. Mike
Lombardo took his place in 1941, but
Mike followed Miller into the Marine Corps.
He is still on active duty as a major.

Bobby Goldstein relived Lombardo in
1942, but later left for the Army. Tom
Campagna replaced Goldstein in 1943, but
Tom, too, entered the Army, being re-
placed by Rubini in 1944, who went into
the Navy. Paddy Kane coached in 1945
and then Miller returned to take over his
old job for the 1946 season.

IN THE ARMY

Ray Richards, Maryland varsity boxer
who was one of eight from the 1946 ring
squad to be "invited to attend" by Uncle
Sam, sends clippings from Camp Kilmer,
N. J. describing two Army bouts in which
Ray took part. He won both.

The last one was with an experienced

colored boxer named Richard Marshall and
the diping describes it as a great scrap with
the Terp soldier, winning it with something
to spare.

Writing to Head Boxing Coach Heinie
Miller, Richards stated, "That counter
punching right hook you taught me is a
convincing weapon and I hope to use it
for Maryland one of these days." Ray adds,
"You certainly called the Louis-Conn bout
right on the nose and I won a few small
bets on it. Some for Zale-Graziano."

Ray would like to hear from Maryland
friends. Address Private Ray Richards

Richards, who boxed at 127 and 135
while at Maryland, reports that he now
weighs 147 and feels generally "stronger
and bigger".

Richards is one of eight members of the
varsity boxing squad inducted into the
armed services. Sammy Landau, 127-135
pounder, won the lightweight champion-
sh : p of Keesler Field. Phillips Rogers,
winning find of last year's team, also boxed
successfully in the Army.

"RITZ" WINS TITLES

Lanky All ie Ritzenberg. erstwhile Uni-
versity of Maryland Tennis' champion, came
from behind to win the District of
Columbia singles title over Army Air
Fo-ces Capt. Art Dreyer in the finals at the
Edgemoor Club courts.

The Terrapin, himself a former army
captain, rallied to win after losing the first
two sets. Dreyer's cross-court drives and
cunning headwork earned him an early
lead of 6 — 2, 6 — 2. The match at this
point appeared all over but the shouting,
but Ritzenberg fine condition began to
assert itself and Dreyer tired rapidly after
the players took their positions for the
third set, Dreyer was forced into repeated
errors by his opponent's steadily improved
play.

The fourth and fifth sets found Dreyer
merely going through the motions as the
winner ran out the rest of the match with
the loss of only two games. Final count
was 2 — 6, 2 — 6, 6 — 1. 6 — 1, 6 — 0.

A few weeks later Ritzenberg added the
National Capital Parks tennis champion-
ship to his growing list of triumphs since
his return to District of Columbia com-
petition. He won over Frank Dunham
in the final at East Potomac just two weeks
"after he had captured the men's District
championship title at Edgemoor.

Ritzenberg downed Dunham in three
sweltering sets, 6 — 2, 7 — 5, 8 — 6. Dun-
ham pressed the eventual winner through-
out the second and third sets, but never
was able to forge into the lead, with Allies
reserve of speed and power the deciding
factor.

Ritzenberg received the Bachelor of Arts
Degree at the University of Maryland in
1942. He majored in Sociology.

SPEER WINS TITLE

Talbot T. Speer, Maryland '18, Vice-
President of the Alumni Association and
former Terp football player, now gets his
exercise in competitive golf. Also he win:.
His latest links triumph consisted of win-
ning the 1946 Maryland senior golf champ-
ionship at the Green Spring Valley Hunt
Club, defeating last year's champion, George
A. Tormey. 7 and 6. Mr. Speer is a
member of the Green Spring Valley Hunt
Club. Mr. Tormey represented the Country
Club of Maryland.

Speer started fast, winning the first three
holes. He took the first hole with a par
three. Speer won the second with a four
after Tormey went into a trap. On the
third hole a five put Speer three up. Tormey
took a penalty stroke and carded a six.

The fourth hole was halved. Tormey
cut Speer's advantage to two up on the
fifth. Speer drove into the woods and took
a seven. However, Speer took the next
four holes for a six up advantage at the
turn.

Tormey conceded the sixth, drove out
of bounds on the seventh, lost the eighth
on a penalty stroke and took a bogey six
at the ninth.

Tormey's tough luck continued on the
tenth hole. Both players were on the green
in three but Tormey's putt knocked his
opponent's ball into the hole and Tormey
went seven down.

On the eleventh Speer's drive went in
a ditch and Tormey kept his slim chance
alive by winning the hole but his hope of
a last-ditch stand was nipped as Speer
dropped a six-foot putt on the twelfth
for a four. Tormey took a five. This put
the winner seven up with only six holes
remaining. The match was over and a new
champion was crowned.

FIRST LOCOMOTIVE

The First Steam Railroad, was drawn
in Maryland by the Tom Thumb locomo-
tive of the Baltimore ft Ohio — America's
pioneer railroad. Built by Peter Cooper,
the Tom Thumb in August, 1830, pulled
a car containing passengers from Baltimore
to Ellicott's Mills (Ellicott City of today)
in an hour and three-quarters. It was a
race between the Tom Thumb and a horse-
drawn car. The horse won, but this did
not deter the astonishing development of
steam transportation that was to shortly
follow. This engine held the world's record
for speed for four years (about 15 miles).

UNCLE TOM'S GRIDIRON

By Yardley in the Baltimore Sun. The man said "University of Maryland papers
please copy". That's what the man said. You heard what the man said.

President Paul F. Douglas, of American
University, charged that football is a
"human slave market", with human chattels
surrendering their complete freedom to the
coaches, today's slave drivers. Postwar
college football has no more relation to
education than bullfighting has to agricul-
ture".

Coach Clark Shaughnessy of Maryland
admits its "business" and that the Terps
are in it — but wholesale. In that premise
Dr. H. C. Byrd, Maryland President said,

"Since the first game was played, foot-
ball has been the subject of sporadic attacks,
but has survived and developed into a
great institution because in it are values
that can not be discarded. This is the history
of every great movement, whether it be
Christianity, man's effort to win for him-
self individual freedom, or football.

"Of course, there are excesses at times,
whether it be in the form of the Inquisition
or in the enthusiasm which causes some
schools to go too far in trying to acquire
outstanding football players. The instance
of excess, though, should not cause an in-
dictment of the whole.

"Because zealot puritans burned some
maybe harmless old lady at the stake as a
witch was no reason to discard Christianity.
Because once in a while one gets a pain from
eating too much pie for dessert he doesn't
stop eating. Neither should we discard
football because in it at times we find things
we do not like.

"Football has survived and will continue
to grow because in it are values that are
irdestructable and necessary, and which give
it its high place in American life."

Shaughnessy again took the ball from
there and said,

"Maryland has a sports program second
to no other school in the country. That
includes, of course, football.

"We are going to establish the University
of Maryland to its rightful place among
the country's leaders.

"The day is coming, and not too far
distant either, when Maryland will be able
to give full challenge to such schools as
Duke and North Carolina as athletic rulers
of the Southern Conference.

"In the future, in football as in all
sports: Watch Maryland!"

FOR EVEN MATCHES

ANOTHER WEIGHT IN ECXING?"

IN collegiate boxing, as well as in pro-
fessional fistic circles, there is consider-
able opinion favoring the establishment of
a "cruiser-weight'.' class, between 185 and
190. It is intended to eliminate the business
of heavyweights weighing over 200 pounds
knocking out 176 pounders.

The move would not be without prece-
dent. Back in the Chicago of 1903 there
was a mighty good fighter around in the

person of Jack Root, who had outgrown the then 158 pound
ringside middleweight class and did not choose to be slapped to
sleep by the likes of James J. Jeffries and other true heavy-
weights of 200 pounds or more.

Al Houseman, of Chicago, was Jack Root's manager. Al was
a newspaper man who also promoted boxing and managed boxers.
Houseman had ideas and a head full of brains. Alone and single-
handed he blandly announced, "We hereby establish the light-
heavyweight division at 175 pounds." One man did that and
made it stick! Immediately there arose opposition which insisted
that the 175 pound class was not needed because Bob Fitzsimmons,
a 161 pounder, had knocked out James J. Corbett for the world's
heavyweight championship.

Good old Bob Fitzsimmons! What a puncher he was! Those
opposed to the establishment of a division between 175 and
unlimited will, no doubt, dig up poor old Fitz again. Ruby
Robert was born in 1862, boxed from 1889 to 1914 and died
in 1917. That is pretty well back into ring history to prove
an argument.

However, Fitzsimmons can also be used to prove the need for
a 185 pound class for, while Fitz did flatten heavyweight Corbett
he was knocked out by heavyweight Jeffries. From there Fitz-
simmons went on to win the newly created 175 pound light-
heavyweight championship from George Gardner. Proving that,
in his own class, Fritz was still a champion. Then too, Jeffries,
when he retired decreed that the 175 pound Jack Root, previously
referred to, should box 190 pound Marvin Hart for the vacated
heavyweight title. Hart knocked Root out. Similar instances of
true heavyweights belting out 176 pounders have occurred so
often that many boxing men appreciate the urgent need for a
class between 175 and 200.

An outstanding example of a mediocre ring giant, with weight
and little else, defeating a much more talented but smaller ringman,
occurred in the bout between Camera, 250 pounds, and Tommy

"The Bigger They Come

The Harder They Fall."

IF They Fall

By HARVEY L. MILLER

Head Boxing Coach, University of Maryland

Loughran, 176, in Miami in 1934.

Camera, an ex-circus performer, hardly
belonged within 100 yards of any ring
harboring classy Tommy Loughran. How-
ever. Camera was big. He bulled Loughran
around, stomped on the smaller man's feet
and generally won by being too big for
Tommy. The bout pretty well proved that
small men should not be matched with big
men.
The late Tex Rickard, ever a fine showman, once jubilantly
announced to a group of his cronies, "Gentlemen, I have a sug-
gestion for the classiest match in boxing! Benny Leonard versus
Pancho Villa!"

"But," responded one of his listeners, "Leonard is a 135
pound lightweight champion and Villa weighs but 112."

"Well." countered Rickard, "but wouldn't it be a swell match
if the weights were equal?"

Don't laugh at Tex. His Leonord-Villa match would have
been 23 per cent less off base than the Carnera-Loughran bout
in Miami. Against Leonard Villa would have been giving away
20 per cent of the smaller boy's weight. Facing Camera, Loughran
actually gave away 43 per cent of his poundage to the Ambling
Alps of the satchel feet.

Applying the relative percentages to the smaller man's weight
the Carnera-Loughran bout was equal to matching a 112 pound
flyweight with a 160 pound middleweight. Bob Fitzsimmons
gave away 55 pounds, 34 per cent of his weight, to Jeffries, or
the equal of a 112 flyweight engag ng a 150 pounder. Bi ly
Conn spotted Joe Louis 25 pounds, 14 per cent of bis weight.
or a 112 pound flyweig' t :gain:t a 127 pound featherweight.

Through the years in which 176 pounds was considered as
heavy enough for the heavyweight division sight has been lost
of the fact that the peremta^e o c ih: :ma!!c: man's weight cor.ceJed
by him to his larger adversary is what really counts.

Taking the we ght differe ces let ween the accepted collegiate
boxing weights and listing the percentage of the smaller man's
weight from one class to the class next above gives you this:

From 120 to 127 the pecentage of the smaller man's weight
is 5.8%; from 127 to 135 it is 6.3',; ; from 135 to 145 it is
7.4%; from 145 to 155 it is 6.9%; from 155 to 165 it is
6.5% from 165 to 175 it is 6.0%. But from 175 to 200 it
is 20.%!

SOME MISMATCHES

Washington Star Fcto

The sketch below illustrates the difference in weight between (1) Camera and Loughran; (2) Jeffries and Fitzsommons ; (2) a lightweight (135)
and a flyweight (112). Between the latter two divisions are the featherweight and the bantamweight divisions. So lightweight and the flyweight, both
inclusive are four divisons apart. The difference in matching them, however, is not as great in percentage of the smaller man's weight than actually
took place in the Carnera-Loughran contest, which was equivalent to a 112-pound flyweight meeting a 160-pound middleweight, six divisions apart.

around in the boxing game a long time,
referred to the bout as the "worst stinkeroo
I ever saw" and added the question "I
wonder when folks will ever learn that a
good little guy simply can't beat a good big
guy?"

In the wide spread cricism of the tactics
employed by Conn in his bout with Louis
much has been written about the effect;
little about the cause. Conn, even had he
been successful, had planned a run away
bout BECAUSE HE WAS 25 POUNDS
TOO LIGHT TO DO ANYTHING
ELSE.

Boxing has always been predicated on
weight equality because a pugilist is sup-
posed to punch bis weight. Punching cor-
rectly he is supposed to be able to knock
out an opponent of equal weight. Else there
would be no reason for weight equality at
all.

There is precendent other than the
establishment of the 175 pound class for
the introduction of the proposed new
division, between 175 and unlimited.

There is Precedent

Because little 112 'pounders got sick and
tired of being punched over by 1 1 8 pound
bantamweights the 112 pound professional
flyweight division was established as re-
cently as 1911.

In the old days boxers were roughly
graded as lightweights, middleweights and
heavyweights.

In collegiate and amateur boxing, as in
the professional sport, many bouts have
taken place indicating the inequality of 220
pounders facing 176 pounders. The litt'c
fellow in such matches wins only if the
big fellow happens to be a poor fighter.

This article is not intended to stress an
analogy between collegiate and professional
boxing except to note outstanding examples
among pros and to point out that weight
equality between contestants is certainly
more important in collegiate ranks than
among the more hardened professionals.
Weight disadvantages may prove to be more
dangerous among collegiate ringmen than
among pros.

The fairness of weight equality in boxing
is so grass roots basic that most any man
remembers the accepted admonition of his
kid days, "Why don't you pick on some-
body your own size?"

The very basis of boxing is weight,
eauality, even matches, sportsmanship.
Matching a 176 pounder with a 220
pounder is not weight equality, not an even
match, not sportsmanship. In college box-
ing in particular it is well to see to it that
matches are even.

"If Thev Fall"

Bob Fitzsimmons once coined a phrase
that persists to this day. When matched
with big Jim Jeffries, Fitz cracked. "The
bigger they come the harder they fall!" to
which the cognoscenti has added "IF
they fall!"

Jeff didn't fall and few remember his
retort to Fitzsimmons. It was "The smaller
they are the further I knock 'em!"

A 150-Pound Class

Because the peak of the average weight
figures for young Americans is 150 it has
also been recommended that a 150 pound
class be established in college boxing.

As to the suggested 150 pound class for
college ringsters, the following figures, ob-
tained from the War Department, cover
99,605 white male registrants for selective
service:

The abolishment of the 120 pound class
in collegiate boxing has also been advocated
for the reason that the weight is too light
for American youngsters. Too many of the
lads in that weight have to resort to de-
hydration to make the weight. Note the
low percentage figure in the above tables
for the 1 19-120 gnyip.

It has been suggested by authorities close
to collegiate boxing that the weights should
be 125, 135, 145, 150, 155. 165. 175.
185, and unlimited. That would provide
a nine man team.

A GOING CONCERN

Ed Scb«""7, Maryland guard.

The Ninth National Conference of
American Handweavers took place at the
University of Maryland in August.

The Conference used the buildings of the
College of Home Economics.

Delegates from some 25 states, Hawaii
and Canada attended. Among the states
most enthusiastic, were California and
Oregon, Iowa, Pennsylvania, New York,
New Jersey, all the New England States,
Michigan, Ohio, Wisconsin, and Illinois,
Texas, Hawaii, and Canada.

This year the Provincial government
at Quebec, in charge of all Handicrafts
throughout the dominion, sent as delegate,
Yvonne Rouleau, teacher of weaving at the
Ecole Domestique, Quebec.

Attending the conference were hobbyists,
home weavers, who weave for pleasure:
club women, who seek to create interest
for their clubs: hospital workers, learning
techniques to take to recuperating soldiers.
(They are usually Occupational Therapy
Directors) : Art directors of cities, who
supervise the art work of dozens of schools
in their localities; Home Economics teachers,
learning this craft to add to their clothing
curricula; Commercial weavers, who seek
to establish a small home business, either
part-time or as an entire field; heads of
shops, who wish to know new styles in
gift fabrics.

A GRADUATE PROGRAM

INDUSTRIAL ARTS PEOPLE fre-
quently raise the question: "Where can I
do graduate study within my professional
field?" Industrial Arts teachers and super-
visors generally prefer to do their graduate
work in a university where the Industrial
Arts offering is sufficient to permit them to
"major" in the area of their primary
interest.

The Industrial Arts profession is greatly
in need of persons who have substantial
undergraduate prepartion supplemented by
pertinent graduate instruction.

The University of Maryland has an un-
dergraduate Industrial Arts program and
it also offers Industrial Arts people the
opportunity to earn degrees of Master of
Arts, Master of Education, and Doctor of
Philosophy.

Industrial Arts course offerings are
adequately comprehensive to permit a stu-
dent to earn major credit in his field.

Course sequences from which the In-
dustrial Arts student's graduate study may
be developed are described below. This
broad offering makes it possible to provide
for individual interests and needs. Programs
are prepared under the guidance of an advi-
ser whose duty it is to see that the course
arrangement has sound educational pur-
pose and coherence.

The following are Industrial Arts grad-
uate courses offered at the University of
Maryland :

Philosophy of Industrial Arts Education.
This course is inteded to assist the student
in his development of a point of view as
regards Industrial Arts and its relationship
with the total educational program. He
should thereby, have a "yardstick" for
appraising current procedures and proposals
and an articulateness for his own pro-
fessional area.

Content and Method of Industrial Arts.
Various methods and procedures used in
• eveloping courses of study are examined
and those suited to the field of Industrial
Arts education are applied. Methods of and
devices for Industrial Arts instruction are
studied and practiced.

Shop Organization and Management.
This course covers the basic elements of
organizing and managing an Industrial Arts
program including the selection of equip-
ment and the arrangement of the shop.

Modern Industry. This course provides
an overview of factory organization and
management. Representative basic industries
are studied from the viewpoints of per-
sonnel and management organization, in-
dustrial relations, production procedures,
distribution of products, and the like.

Seminar in Industrial Arts Education.
This seminar fosters the study of current
Industrial Arts problems. Educational re-
search methods pertinent to Industrial Arts
arc studied. Students who are majoring'

arrangement for persons who are conducting
research in the areas of Industrial Arts and
Vocational Education.

An Industrial Arts student may broaden
and refine his viewpoint of Vocational

NEW ALLOY

A gold alloy with low-melting and other
unusual properties was described recently
by Dr. Robert I. Jaffee of the Battelle
Memorial Institute. Columbus, Ohio, where
the alloy has been studied.

It is a gold-germanium alloy. 88%gold
and 12 r /r germanium, that melts at 673
degrees F.. only 50 degrees higher than the
melting point of lead. It is what scientists
call a gold-germanium "eutectic," a term
applied to an alloy with a lower fusing
point than its components have by them-
selves. Gold melts at 1945 degrees F., and
germanium at approximately 1760 degrees
F.

This "eutectic" is harder than ordinary
gold and has superior wearing qualities.
Another property of the alloy is its slight
expansion on solidification, which compen-
sates for contraction in cooling to room
temperature. Because of this property, ex-
tremely precise castings, such as dental inlays,
can be made, and these dental castings
would require no correction to take care
of shrinkage that occurs with most alloys.

Because of the low melting point of the
alloy, it can be used as a solder by jewelers.
Gold-coated jewelry of long-wearing prop-
erties can be made by merely dipping the
object to be plated into the molten eutectic.

The chief interest in the metal at pre-
sent, Dr. Jaffee stated, is its potentialities
as a rectifier in radar equipment.

IN 1632

The Landings at St. Mary's is a familiar
chapter of Maryland history. Cecil Calvert,
second Lord Baltimore, fitted out an ex-
pedition in England in 1632. which set
sail for the Chesapeake in the Ark and the
Dove under command of his younger
brother, Leonard Calvert. The vessels visited
the Canary Islands and Bermuda, landing
finally on American soil on March 25,
1634. along a wooded bluff of a small
tributary near the mouth of the great
Potomac River. There Father Andrew
White, the Jesuit priest of the expedition,
conducted the first mass. Woodrow Wilson's
"History of the American People" tells us:
"Lord Baltimore called his province Mary-
land, in honor of Queen Mary of England,
and the first settlement there on the bluff
they called St. Mary's in honor of the
Virgin."

TOBACCO

Almost as soon as early Maryland settlers
had firmly established themselves they en-
gaged in the business of tobacco raising.
This picture of industry and contentment
is properly indicated, because tobacco was
then accepted as money, and Lord Baltimore
had pledged the colonists entire freedom
from taxation.

"vke Star Spangled (Banner

IT WAS MADE IN MARYLAND

MOST any grade school youngster
knows that Francis Scott Key, a son
of Maryland, wrote "The Star Spangled
Banner." Fewer know that the actual flag
that inspired the anthem was the handi-
work of Marylanders. Still fewer know that
but for the effort of three people who were
very close to the University of Maryland,
"The Star Spangled Banner" might not
have, by act of Congress, been made the
official anthem of the United States.

The story of the writing of the Star
Spangled Banner is one of the most inter-
esting in the picturesque and colorful his-
tory of Maryland, one of the thirteen
original states.

There are many grand chapters in Mary-
land history that have come in for little
enough glory, probably because Maryland-
ers themselves take the history of their great
State for granted.

That is nothing new, of course. Native
Washingtonians seldom bother about climb-
ing the Washington monument. Visitors
do that.

Some years ago Irving Berlin, after an
afternoon of Stephen Foster music, was
asked, "Why are there not more 'state' songs
like 'My Old Kentucky Home,' beautiful
numbers that will last?"

States With "Color"

"There are very few states," replied Ber-
lin, "possessing sufficient color to immortal-
ize in song. Kentucky, Maryland, Virginia,
Carolina, Georgia, California. Such states
inspire songs. Not all states do that."

Probably the greatest inspired song of
all time is our National anthem.

Today many a genuflection takes place
before the flag of our country. Peoples of
all nations, races and colors, know what
that star spangled banner represents. They
know what the national anthem, dedicated
to that flag, stands for.

FRANCIS SCOTT KEY

From the portrait by Charles Wilson Peale.

Written by a Marylander,
inspired by a Maryland-
made flag, made official
by Maryland efforts.

a$y J^ucille (Bernard

There are only two places in the United
States where the flag is permitted to fly
night and day. One is over the dome of
the Capitol in Washington, D. C. The
other is over the grave of Francis Scott Key,
at Frederick, Maryland.

Key, accompanied by John S. Skinner of
Baltimore had boarded the British flag
ship "Tonnant" to negotiate for the re-
lease of Dr. William S. Beanes, a 65 year
old resident of Upper Marlboro who had
been locked up for hostile actions toward
British troops. Key was then 35, Skinner
26. Just two young Marylanders trying to
help an older Marylander. The three were
transferred to the British cartel ship "Sur-
prize."

On the "Surprize" Key kept vigil during
the long hours of the night as the British
fleet bombarded the stout walls of Fort Mc-
Henry. The fort protected Baltimore, the
city the British called "The Hornet's Nest"
because it sent to sea, at President Madi-
son's request, more privateers than any
other port in America.

)r. Beanes' Question

Old Fort McHenry stood up well, its
walls made of brick set in oystershell mor-
tar were fourteen feet high and thirty-five
feet thick.

"Can vou see," asked Dr. Beanes, ad-
dressing Key, "the flag?"

The morning fog lifted and by the
dawn's early light Key saw the flag and the
verses of the national anthem began, in his
mind, to take form.

Back in Baltimore, after being released
from the cartel ship, Key sat alone in an
inn. He wrote later, "I sat, alone with my
God." In those quite hours he began his
immortal poem with Dr. Beanes' question:
O sav can you see by the dawn's early light
What so proudly we hail'd at the twi-
light's last gleaming,
Whose broad stripes ir bright stars through
the perilous fight
O'er the ramparts we watch'd, were so
gallantly streaming?
And the rocket's red glare, the bombs

bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our
flag was still there,
O say does that star-spangled banner yet

wave
O'er the land of the free ir the home of the
brave?

The mists begin to lift and Key catches
the glimpse of the Maryland-made flag over
Maryland's proud fort. He pens:
On the shore dimly seen through the mists
of the deep,
Where the foe's haughty host in dread
silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, o'er the
towering steep,

OVER FORT McHENRY

Made by the hands of Maryland women this is
the original Fort McHenry battle flag, one of its
fifteen stars shot away. This ensign inspired the
writing of "The Star Spangled Banner." The flag

is now on exhibit : on at the Smithsonian Institution,
Washington, D. C.

As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half
discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the morn-
ing's first beam,
In full glory reflected now shines in the
stream,
'Tis the star-spangled banner — O long may

it wave
O'er the land of the free ir the home of the
brave!
His third verse is a song of victory as well
as challenge, as he writes:
And where is that band who so vauntingly
swore,
That the havoc of war & the battle's con-
fusion
A home ir a country should leave us no
more?
Their blood has wash'd out their foul
footsteps pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling &

slave
From the terror of flight or the gloom
of the grave,
And the star-spangled banner in triumph

doth wave
O'er the land of the free ir the home of the
brave.

"In God We Trust"

And finally, devoutly, he accords full
meed of credit to his God, the maker and
breaker of nations. In this stanza he coins
the motto of the American Government,
"In God We Trust," yet another Maryland
contribution. Key concludes:
O thus be it ever when freemen shall stand
Between their lov'd home ir the war's
desolation!
Blest with vict'ry and peace may the heav'n-

rescued land
Praise the power that hath made & pre-
served us a nation!
Then conquer we must, when our cause
it is just,

Cs.

And this be our
motto — "In God
is out trust,"
And the star-spangled
banner in tri-
umph shall wave
O'er the land of the free
C- the home of the
brave.
And the star-spangled
banner, the flag itself;
the one that flew over
McHenry? That too was
a Maryland contribu-
tion to the world. The
flag, later pierced by
British shell, had been
made by a Maryland
widow, Mary Young
I'irkersgill, with the aid
of her 14 year old
daughter, Caroline.

The ensign was made
at the joint request of
General John Strieker
and Commodore Joshua
Barney.

Strips of white and
red and the field of
blue were cut from
bunting layed out on
the floor o f t h e malt
house in Clagett's Brew-
ery. The flag measured
29 feet by 36 feet.

Mother and daughter
worked for many nights,
far into the night, crawl-
ing over the massive
flag, humbly assembling
the "broad stripes and
bright stars" now so
famous i n song, story
and history.

The daughter, Caro-
line, recalled years later
that about four hun-
dred yards of bunting
went into the banner
and that each of its fif-
teen white stars meas-
ured two feet from
point to point. The ori-
ginal flag may be seen
at the Smithsonian In-
stitution, Washington,
D. C.

From Fort McHenry
that flag could be seen
for many miles. Today
it is recognized half a
world away and back
again.

Just a little old Mary-
land widow and her small daughter, on
their hands and knees on a malt house
floor! Yes, Irving Berlin was right when he
spoke of the Maryland "color" that makes
for song and story II I

How many appreciate that not until
March, 1933 was the Star Spangled Banner
made the official National Anthem of the
United States of America by Act of Con-
gress?

In the early 1900's "Columbia the Gem
of the Ocean" and "America" were some-
times played at morning or evening colors.

For many years the Veterans of Foreign
Wars assumed the lead in an effort to make
the Star Spangled Banner official. Finally

FACSIMILE OF THE MANUSCRIPT
OF 'THE STAR-SPANGLED BANNER - '

there were hearings on the bill before
Congress.

Many and strong forces were against the
bill. It was contended that the song was
hard to sing, that the words were words of
hatred. Forgotten the history, the incidents
that inspired the words. They had some-
thing more modern, more "peaceful," more
singable. Neither did they like the fact that
the music of the anthem was from an old
English drinking song "Anacreon in
Heaven."

Yes, there were people in powerful posi-
tions who wanted to pitch Francis Scott
Key's anthem right overboard. Just like
that!

However, there were also other alert
people who fought to make it official. At
the hearings musicians played it and talent-
ed male and female voices sang it in vari-
ous keys.

Yet the bill, to secure passage, needed
considerable effort. It required permission
to be placed upon the unanimous consent
calendar. That took some work. Calls upon
Vice President Curtis, president of the Sen-
ate. Calls upon this Congressman and that
one. Only ONE negative reply was needed
to make the Star Spangled Banner bill a
dead duck.

Most of the credit for leading the battle
for unanimous consent went to three people

very close to the University of Maryland.
One was Senator Millard S. Tydings, Mary-
land alumnus and currently a member of
the University's Board of Regents. The
Senator did much of the advising on what
should be done and how. The second wheel
horse for the bill was the late Congressman
Stephen W. Gambrill, Prince Georges
County, also a Maryland alumnus. He
guided the workers for the bill and steered
them right. The third worker was Mrs.
Clay Keene Miller, wife of Maryland's box-
ing coach. Mrs. Miller was Regent of Ruth
Brewster Chapter, D. A. R. and national
legislative chairman for the Ladies Auxili-
aries of the Veterans of Foreign Wars. She
spent many days in work for the bill. In
recognition of her efforts toward making
"The Star Spangled Banner" the official na-
tional anthem the Governor of her native
Kentucky appointed her an Honorary
Colonel on the Governor's staff.

So possibly Francis Scott Key rests a little
easier under the sod of old Frederick town,
because three University of Maryland boost-
ers did not let him down.

All of which is just another chapter of
Maryland history that should not be pigeon-
holed.

History and historical color? Maryland
fairly blooms with it. The niches and cran-
nies of Maryland history should be probed
right along and the half forgotten chapters
of the glorious traditions of the Old Line
State should be kept alive.

Written by a Maryland man, inspired by
a flag made by Maryland women, made
official through the efforts of Maryland
people, "The Star Spangled Banner" today
means more, the world over, than it has
ever meant before.

As we stand in reverence for that flag or
for the official anthem dedicated to it let
us remember that it was "made in Mary-
land." The anthem is a Maryland gift to
the world!

IN WASHINGTON

In Washington, D. C. the Columbia His-
torical Society has formed a committee of
Government officials and prominent Wash-
ington residents from its membership to
save what is left of the Francis Scott Key
house at the Georgetown end of Key Bridge
from being demolished to make way for the
highway loop planned to connect the K
street elevated highway with the bridge.

The committee also will seek to raise
$100,000 to restore the building to its ori-
ginal form and use it as society head-
quarters and a meeting place for similar
groups on a Government permit.

The home was occupied by the composer
of the Star Spangled Banner for 20 years in
the early 1800s, While I was United States
Attorney for the District of Columbia,
Key's eleven children were born in the
Georgetown house. The National Park
Service, which has custody of the property,
plans to install a bronze plaque to com-
memorate the site and the man for whom
the bridge was named.

Only the foundation remains of the Key
home. The building now there was built
by the owners as a store in 1912 after at-
tempts by the Francis Scott Key Memorial
Association to raise funds for the purchase
and restoration of the property failed.

The present building was purchased by

the National Capital Park and Planning
Commission in October, 1931, and demoli-
tion of the building has been approved by
the commission.

The Park Service has tried to find a way
to save the house site without impairing
the efficiency of the highway connection but
gave up the attempt by 1942.

The historical society, however, which has
no headquarters building like those built
by societies in other cities, plans to fight the
present plan. Officers of the special com-
mittee feel engineers should be able to re-
plan the roadway so that the building can
be restored.

Restoration of the building was opposed
in 1933 by Francis Scott Key-Smith and
Anna Key Palmer, Key descendents. They
preferred an obelisk or fountain instead,
feeling there was too little left of the ori-
ginal home.

CIVIL SERVICE EXAM

With the announcement of a new Junior
Professional Assistant examination, the U. S.
Civil Service Commission again offers an
opportunity for college-trained or experi-
enced persons to compete for appointment
to professional positions in the Federal
service at the P-l grade, $2,644 a year. Posi-
tions are located in Washington, D. C, and
throughout the United States. Persons ap-
plying for this examination may choose one
or more options from among the following
optional fields: Archives, Chemistry, Eco-
nomics, Geography, Mathematics, Metal-
lurgy, Physics, Statistics, and Textile Tech-
nology. Persons appointed from the ex-
amination will assist in the performance of
professional and technical work in the ap-
propriate fields.

All applicants must take a written gen-
eral test. (Samples of the types of questions
to be used accompany the announcement.)
In addition to passing this test, competitors
must have had a full 4-year college course,
with major study in subjects appropriate to
the field for which they are applying; or a
combination of appropriate education and
experience which totals 4 years and gives
them the substantial equivalent of the 4-
year college course. The age limits, 18 to 35

years, are waived for persons entitled to
veteran preference. Detailed information
regarding the requirements is contained in
the examination announcement, which is
in the form of a booklet.

Applications for this examination will be
accepted from college students who expect
to complete their studies by June 30, 1947.
The "JPA" examination has in the past
been of considerable interest to college
students and graduates, as it provides for
them an excellent opportunity to enter the
Federal service in their chosen professional
fields.

Qualified persons who are interested in
applying for this examination may obtain
announcements, sample questions (Form
AN 3510) and application forms from most
first- and second-class post offices, from Civil
Service regional offices, and from the U. S.
Civil Service Commission, Washington 25,
D. C. Applications must be received in the
Commission's Washington office not later
than December 3, 1946.

EX-SERVICEWOMEN

The ex-servicewomen on campus have
organized a Servicewomen's Club and have
elected the following officers:

Florence Kretchmer, Director

June Miller, Secretary

Alice Werner, Publicity Chairman

Dorothy Bay, Ida Lillie, Social Chairmen

The Club proposes to act as a "clearing
house" for all matters affecting ex-service-
women enrolled at the University; to pro-
vide a means whereby the above can be-
come better acquainted; and, as a branch
of the existing Veteran's Club, to cooperate
with and to participate in the activities of
that organization.

In the scholastic field the Army and
Navy have been ably represented by Doro-
thy M. Schenck, ex-Army Nurse and M.
June Miller, ex- Wave, who were among the
six students tapped by Alpha Lambda
Delta, freshman honorary society. To gain
entrance into this fraternity an average of
3.5 or better must be obtained for one
semester or for the entire freshman year.

UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND CAMPUS AT NIGHT

It is a far cry from the mournful notes of taps, the beach heads at Normandy, Guadalcanal, Anzio or Iwo Jima, but the veteran makes himself fit right in at
Universities and Colleges. "They Fooled Me," says Author Andre Maurois. At the left, above, is Anne Arundel Hall, Margaret Brent Hall is shown in the Center

and the College of Engineering appears on the right.

"istening to all the talk
about problems of vet-
eran readjustment, in the
days just after the end of
the war, I found myself be-
ginning to fear that the re-
turning American servicemen were going to
be a group of temperamental neurotics who
would have to be handled with extra care.
As a teacher at the University of Kansas
City, I anticipated their return to the class-
room with anxiety.

About one-third of my students last
semester were veterans. To my surprise,
they proved to be not only quite normal
persons, but more sensible, wiser, better-
adjusted than my civilian students.

In 1944 and 1945, when I taught in co-
educational universities, the girls were
always my best students. In 1946, the re-
turning veterans are at the top of the class;
next come the girls; and in third place,
the "civilians." Why? Because the veterans
are more mature. They have seen the
world, they have suffered, they understand
better than others the value of education.

"In prewar days," one veteran told me,
"culture meant very little to me. I knew, of
course, that I had to get an education be-
fore I could get a job — but I couldn't see
why. The stuff they taught seemed useless.
In the classroom, geometry was just lines
and circles on a blackboard. But on the
battlefield, when your life depends on the
careful calculation of an angle by a gunner,
geometry comes alive. To any pilot who
had to navigate by the stars, astronomy be-
came very real."

A Use for History

"Yes," said another, "and any GI who
had to deal with Italians, Frenchmen or
Arabs suddenly realized that we couldn't
understand the reactions of all these people
unless we knew something about their pasts.

"When a Commencement speaker tells
you that this world is one, and that isola-
tion is now an empty word, it's just another
speech. But when, after a few hours of

flight, you can land in Africa, in Europe
or in Japan, then you have no doubt as to
the unity of the world."

What is true of history is also true of
literature. "Before the war," said another
student, "when I was told to read Tolstoy's
'War and Peace,' I thought it was an unfair
assignment — much too long. Now, 'War
and Peace' is to me my own story and
the story of my friends.

"I have observed that men
in different lands design dif-
ferent types of houses, eat
different foods, follow differ-
ent philosophies," he went
on. "Yet they all love and
hate in the same way, and they are all en-
gaged in the same pursuit of happiness.
Even if I wanted to, I couldn't be an iso-
lationist again."

Veterans came back more proud than
ever to be Americans. "The countries of
Europe are very beautiful," they say. "We
admire their towns, their monuments, and
we understand the pride they take in their
history. But we also know that what we
have is good. No other nation enjoys quite
the same freedom as we do. Of course, re-
forms, improvements are always possible in
our system, yet such as it is we find it
better than anything else we have seen."

They are convinced that it is their duty
to remain well informed in politics, na-
tional and international.

"We don't want to be neutrals," one
said to me. "Neutrals look harmless —
but they are not. They are responsible for
much of the world's suffering. Look at Ger-
many. In 1930, when Nazism began, there
was only a minority of fanatics. But mil-
lions of 'neutral' Germans allowed Hitler to
come to power, to ruin Germany and
Europe. We don't want that sort of thing
to happen here at home — and the only way
to avoid it is to get in the fight ourselves."

Forgetting Combat

Are veterans emotionally upset by their
experiences? Some of them once were, but
they soon recovered. Among my students I
had a boy who had led 32 missions over
Germany and had won the Distinguished
Flying Cross. I knew he had been in some
hair-raising situations. I asked him, "Do
you still feel the effects of your combat
experiences?"

"The first weeks after my return I did.
The first movie I saw was 'Thirty Seconds
Over Tokyo.' . . When the flak began to

explode, I had to leave the theater. I was
shaky, all right. . . But that didn't last.
Now I feel very steady.

"Of course, I have changed. I'm much
more hard-boiled than I used to be and
better equipped for life. I've learned to
look after myself. Before I joined the
Army, I thought I was entitled by right of
birth to the comforts of civilization, to
movies, ice cream, dates with beautiful girls.
Today, I know that this is a hard world in
which you have to keep fighting all the
time. I no longer fear a long walk or a
poor meal. Problems that once seemed
overwhelming are trivial now."

Architect's Oversight

Several of my students were married;
some had children. One of them told the
President of the University, 'This is a fine
campus, sir, but the architect forgot one
thing: he provided no playground for
children."

I wondered how the veterans would get
on with the other students. There was no
apparent friction. Perhaps the ordinary
students sometimes felt the veteran was too
keen on study, not sufficiently interested in
campus activities. But soon the whole class
adopted the pace set by the vets and all
students, girls included, worked harder and
better than the year before.

Will the veterans exert the same kind of
influence on the life and ideas of the
United States? I hope they will. This
country has no better men than these war-
riors turned students.

DISCUSS HUNGER

With the student body of the College of
Home Economics, University of Maryland,
as observers, the Progress Club of College
Park and the College of Home Economics,
recently held a panel discussion on the sub-
ject of "Food and World Understanding."

The panel consisted of Chairman Mrs.
Cleon O. Swayzee, Chairman of the Inter-
national Committee, League of Women
Voters Dr. Esther L. Batchelder, Depart-
ment of Research and Nutrition, Bureau of
Home Economics and Human Nutrition,
Department of Agriculture at Beltsville,
Maryland; Dr. W. B. Kemp, Director of
the Agricultural Experiment Station, Uni-
versity of Maryland; Mrs. Margaret Mor-
ris, Home Economics, U. S. Department of
Agriculture; Mrs. Thomas Parran, wife of
the Surgeon General, U. S. Public Health
Service, formerly with the State Depart-
ment; Miss Margaret Reynolds, Food and
Agriculture Organization of the United
Nations Agency.

The program was arranged by Mrs. R.
V. Truitt, President of the Progress Club,
Miss Marie Mount, Dean of the College of
Home Economics and Mrs. E. N. Cory, Pro-
gram Chairman.

The members of the panel were wel-
comed by Mrs. John L. Whitehurst, of Bal-
timore, member of the Board of Regents,
University of Maryland.

"Is Food the Key to World Understand-
ing?" was the feature question discussed by
the panel.

It was brought out that not only was
food important to world peace and under-
standing but that the distribution of food
was the problem before the world today.

"A consciousness of conservation of re-

sources has a phce in the life of every
American," said Mrs. Cory, "with food and
its distribution a subject vital to all."

"Democracy means little to people who
are hungry," said Mrs. Morris, "for hungry
people neither think nor act intelligently."
In her department Mrs. Morris has to do
with school lunches.

"The science of food," said Mrs. Parran,
"is newer than the science of aviation.
There is a need for a drive for food ex-
pansion in our national and international
life."

"Hungry people are never reasonable,"
continued Mrs. Parran, "and that includes
the obvious hunger of starvation as well as
the hidden hunger of malnutrition."

"Among hungry people," said Dr. Batch-
elder, "there is a lack of interest, a lack of
curiosity, in fact, a lack of most everything
but the knowledge of hunger."

"The very study of nutrition and re-
search in that field will contribute to world
understanding," said Miss Reynolds, "how
to produce it, store it, distribute it. Food
is basic to world understanding."

"One out of every two people in the
world are undernourished as a normal state
of affairs," Miss Reynolds went on to say,
"and today two- thirds are undernourished.
We can do little to overcome the state of
the world until we first conquer hunger.
To talk to a mother of hungry children
about boundary lines is futile."

The panel brought out the fact that un-
equal distribution of foods and black mar-
ket operations that feed some and starve
others will totter the economic structure of
any nation.

"We are on the very threshold of distri-
bution of new fertilizing materials that will
greatly increase the production of food,"
said Dr. Kemp, "and there too the problem
is distribution.

"That is a problem for real statesman-
ship," continued Dr. Kemp, "for you can't
teach a people how to whip yellow fever so
that they may grow up to starve."

The panel developed that the great prob-
lem of raising more food for ever increasing
populations was not only to improve agri-
cultural aids and equipment but to get the
knowledge of how to do things to every
peasant and peon the world over.

That there is no such thing as a food
surplus in the world was developed by this
panel.

"There are local surpluses in certain
spots," commented Dr. Kemp, "while other
spots are in need of the surplus."

"World population increases," concluded
Dr. Kemp, "and agricultural yield per mile
of ground must increase with it, helped by
improved agricultural aids and equipment."
The panel concluded that food and the
distribution of food products is vital to
world understanding and peace to such a
degree that a World Food Control Board
is needed.

EX-SERVICE WOMEN

Thirty ex-service women gathered at the
University of Maryland for discussion of the
formation of a service women's organization
as an adjunct of the Veterans' Club.

The girls listened to Bill Kyriakys, presi-
dent of the Veterans' Club, speak on the
need of such an organization for women.
He also spoke of the cooperation which will
be needed between the new organization
and the Vets' Club in both social and edu-
cational activities.

INCREASES REQUESTED FOR FACULTY PERSONNEL

NEARLY 70 percent of the requested
increase of 52.323,076 to finance its
operations for the year beginning next
July 1 will be used by the University of
Maryland for additional faculty members,
assistants and clerical help and to boost
salaries of present teaching staff.

The sum of $1,080,060 is earmarked for
salaries of new full and part time instruc-
tors, assistants, etc., while $438,496 is in-
tended for salary boosts averaging approxi-
mately fifteen per cent for present staff
members to try to hold them in competi-
tion with other colleges and universities in
a period of rising cost of living.

To overcome deficits in the schools of
dentistry, medicine, nursing and at Univer-
sity Hospital. §242,595 is requested.

To cover increased operating expenses,
resulting from enlarged activities, coupled
with mounting costs of supplies, etc.,
SI, 003,601 is re-
quested.

The need for en-
larging the faculty
arises from the
growtli of enroll-
ment and the indi-
cations that the
university will ex-
perience more
growing pains in
the next two years.

1,000 in Graduate
School

The number of
undergraduates here
last school year
numbered 2,600;
for 1946 there are
7,000. In 1947-48
the number will
jump. Dr. H. C.
Byrd, president, an-
ticipates, to 10,000
and to around 12.-
000 in 1948-49.

Furthermore, en-
rollment in the
professional schools
— law, medicine,
dentistry and nurs-
ing concentrated in
Baltimore — is well
over 1 ,400 this year.

Enrollment i n
the graduate school
has jumped to ap-
proximately 1,000,
from last year's
total of 450.

The number of

Increased appropriations are earmarked
for resumption of research interrupted by
the war and for expansion of research that
has been under way on a restricted basis
because the men engaged in it have had to
devote so large a portion of their time
to teaching during the war years.

quires main key men to put in 33 hours
weekly in classrooms and lecture halls.

College of Agriculture, Extension
Service, Experiment Station and
Livestock Sanitary Service

The extension service proposes to add
23 full and part time workers to provide
increases in services to meet the especial
needs of various farm groups, and, accord-
ingly, 5248,041 additional appropriation is
asked for this unit, exclusive of 567,317 for
new employees and 564,790 to be distri-
buted among 74 persons now employed.

To Hire Artist

Plans call for intensifying control of
diseases among livestock and poultry, and,
in particular, of Bangs disease and tubercu-
losis in cattle.

Distribution of literature to agriculturists
is to be stepped up. In this connection it
is proposed to hire
an information as-
sistant, an artist to
illustrate bulletins,
an assistant to aid
in the preparation
of bulletins.

A Xcgro agricul-
(ural agent is to be
added to the ex-
tension service's
staff; also a district
agent for the Home
Demonstra-
tion agent at large.

To facilitate in-
sect control work,
an assistant is to
be hired to assist
the university's en-
tomologist. To in-
tensify the war
against the Japa-
nese beetle addi-
tional personnel is
i:> be employed.

$31,500 Is Asked

To permit ex-
pansion of soil con-
ferva tjon. such as
the building of
drainage ditches, an
additional State
sum of $31,500 is
asked. The present
annual appropria-
tion is 518,000.

Twelve new em-
ployes would be
added to the mar-
keting division, in-
cluding inspectors,
assistant professors
in marketing, in-
structors, statisti-
cians, clerical help,
etc.

Some of the ad-
ditional money,
sought for market-

ing services, will he used to match Federal
funds to become available to the State
next July 1, under the Flanagan-Hope
Act, designed to improve methods of
marketing and distributing farm products.

To Combat Coddling Moth

Holding that urban residents need guid-
ance in home management, planning of
nutritious meals and especially in the face
of rising costs, it is proposed to assign
some demonstration agents to work in
Baltimore and the densely populated areas
about Washington — the cost $10,000 a year.

To combat diseases which ravage the
State's tobacco crop it is proposed that an
experimental farm be set up — a capital out-
lay of $30,000, annual maintenance of
$10,000.

Inspection of fruits and vegetables is to
be expanded. To combat the coddling
moth in Western Maryland an additional
appropriation of $6,270 is asked. Fof arti-
fical in semination, $1,000 more is asked.

To combat the Dutch elm disease and
the potato wart, a $5,000 yearly increase is
proposed.

College of Engineering

The College of Engineering now has 1,606
students as contrasted with 243 a year ago.

The faculty is to be increased by 50, for
whom $140,983 is requested in the next
fiscal year, while $34,121 will go into addi-
tional laboratories.

Eighty -eight staff members are to get
salary increases of $49,981.

The grand total of operating this college
next year will be $229,860, with income
from entrance and laboratory fees, etc.,
running to $89,860.

Salaries in the new Department of
Aeronautical Engineering will be about
$48,790, with two additional flight instruc-
tors to be added.

College of Business and Public
Administration

From a prewar peak enrollment of 417,
which shrank to 250 in 1945, enrollment
in the College of Business and Public Ad-
ministration has swelled to 1 ,329 this year,
and probably 'will jump to 1,700 next year.

It is proposed that to the teaching staff
shall be added thirteen full time men and
nine graduate assistants, for whom $67,440
in annual salaries is asked. The present
staff woidd benefit from increases totaling
$27,250.

Library

Two new permanent employes and a
large number of students are to be hired
by the university library if a request for
$9,557 for additional personnel is granted.
Approximately $1,277 is sought for in-
creases for the permanent staff.

College of Education

Just before the war enrollment in its
college of education reached 320, declined
to 314 the following year and is currently
475, with 600 expected in 1947-48 and 800
in 1948-49.

Ten new staff members are to be added,
for whom $30,272 in annual salaries is
sought. Personnel on the current pay roll
is to get salary boosts aggregating $18,745.

DR. R. G. STEINMEYER

Pr F!<-"ben G Steinmeyer, Professor of Politics and Government, College of Arts and Sciences, Univer-
sity of Maryland, and special lecturer on international affairs.

Dr. Steinmeyer was born January 22, 1899, in Bridgewater, South Dakota; attended public schools in
Chicago. Illinois, Chicago Business College; Capital Academy, Capital University and Capital Lutheran
Theological Seminary, Columbus, Ohio; and received his A. B. and Ph. D. degrees at the American
University Washington, D. C.

Dr. Sleinmeyer has addressed hundreds of civic, fraternal, service, educational, and religious organiza-
tion" threnhout Maryland and surrounding states.

During his many years of service at the University his influence has been felt by thousands of students
anr teachers and he has become widely recognized as an authority on Far Eastern affairs in governmental
and diplomatic circles.

He is a member of the following Professional and Honorary Societies: Pi Gamma Mu, Honorary Social
Science Fraternity; Pi Sigma Alpha, Honorary Political Science Fraternity; Pi Delta Epsilon, Honorary
Journalistic Fraternity; American Political Science Association; American Society of International Law;
Foreign Policy Association: American Academy of Social and Political Sciences; Honorary Member Prince
Georges County Boy Scouts.

Dr. Steinmeyer is a former President of the Rotary Club of College Park and Governor of the Mary-

land Rotary District.

It is proposed to add two or three pro-
fessorships in fields now filled only by
outside educators.

College of Military Science,
Physical Education and Recreation

The College of Military Science, Physical
Education and Recreation seeks $26,082
more for 1947-48 than was available to it
this year. It would add fifteen full and
part-time instructors, for whom $9,210 is
asked annually and grant increases to pres-
ent personnel aggregating $13,684.

The total budget for this unit for the
year ending June 30, 1947, is $84,808, of
which the State appropriated but $2,568.
The State is asked to provide an additional
$50,000.

College of Home Economies

With prewar peak enrollment of 288, a
total of 313 undergraduate students enrolled
in the College of Home Economics last
year, 350 this year.

Nine new staff members are to be added
for whom $17,156 in annual salaries is
asked. Present staff personnel is to share
$5,503 in total salary increases.

College of Arts and Sciences

Enrollment in the College of Arts and
Sciences is now 2500 nearly double that of
its previous peak. It is the service school
of all the colleges on the campus.

New schedules call for adding 58 full-
time teachers, 85 graduate student assistants

€wX^//^

and 7 clerks — a total of 150 persons, for
whom S253.381 in salaries is asked annually.
The present staff is to receive increases of
$103,733.

The grand total increase in budget is
$368,704. of which the State is asked to
provide $240,000. The State appropriation
is $105228 this year.

General Educational Services

With the 1,000 graduate students, there
is an acute need for expanding the teaching
staff.

The income from the Federal Govern-
ment for veterans turned students is ex-
pected to decline next year as high-school
graduates crowd into the 1947-48 fresh-
man class, which is expected to be larger
than this year's freshman class, totaling
4,400.

11 MILLION NEEDED

Predicting that the student body at the
University of Maryland would reach a total
of between ten and twelve thousand within
the next two years, Dr. H. C. Byrd, Uni-
versity President, has indicated that $11,-
441,000 is needed for the physical develop-
ment of the University plant in order to
take care of growth and expansion. This
figure is in addition to the $20,000,000 al-
ready requested for the building program.

"The university, in its physical plant, has
not kept pace with the growth of its serv-
ices and of its student body," declared Dr.
Byrd.

The larger staff made necessary to pro-
vide additional services asked by agricul-
tural interests of the State has made it im-
possible, he added, to provide adequate
office space.

Citing the increasing calls made upon
the university for research on behalf of
Government and industry, Dr. Byrd re-
vealed that it has not been possible to ac-
cept various monies allocated to carry out
such activities "because there are not suffi-
cient laboratories available in which to do
the work."

Dr. Byrd attributed the necessity for the
increase to inflated construction costs, and,
in some cases, increases in the size and
quantity of facilities made necessary by an
increased enrollment.

Most of the 66 separate building projects
already have been authorized by the Legis-
lature, and some funds have been allocated
for each.

A breakdown of the additional State
funds needed follows:

College Park

To complete nine buildings now under

construction $2,058,000

For 22 proposed buildings and facilities 6,150,000

$8,208,000

Princess Anne

Twenty-eight new buildings, additions
and extensions proposed $1,328,000

Baltimore

Six new buildings and additions to the
hispital, dental and pharmacy build-
ings and a public library $1,905,000

Total $11,441,000

State funds totaling $3,605,000 already
allocated include:

$2,460,000 for 12 separate projects at Col-
lege Park.

S "i.OOO for a sea foods technological
laboratory at Crisfield.

$475,000 for a 12-point building program
at Princess Anne Academy.

195,000 for improvements to professional
schools in Baltimore.

From other sources, including gifts such
as those by Glenn L. Martin, allocations by
various Federal agencies, etc., a total of
$5,390,000 is available for the improvement
of the university's physical plant, Dr. Byrd
reported, including the following:

$2,500,000 for engineering, physics, chem-
istry and mathematics Ijuildings under con-
struction and estimated to cost $5,000,000.

$2,000,000 for an airport.

$600,000 for five girls' dormitories.

$200,000 for a new auditorium to cost
$600,000.

$50,000 for student activities to cost
$200,000.

New items not yet authorized include:

Airport, two girls' dormitories, three
men's dormitories, interdenominational
chapel, library, men's activities building.

Pointing out that the present National
Airport in Washington is overtaxed, Dr.
Byrd said "it is reasonably certain that the
proposed airport will be self-sustaining as
to maintenance and operation, if not pro-
fitable."

MORE G.I.'S IN '48

Many leading educators foresee a larger
enrollment of G. I.s in our large universi-
ties in 1948, thus creating a more serious
education emergency in those schools than
exists today, it is revealed in "The G. I.s
And The Colleges," a booklet just issued
by the Crowell-Collier Publishing Company.

The new educational study, the fourth of
a series of booklets issued by the company
on veterans' problems, also discloses that
G. I.s are today the best students generally,
thus contradicting the fear of many educa-

tors of a year or so ago that many of them
would draw government educational allot
ments but be "educational bums."

On the basis of replies from 583 institu-
tions of higher learning, the study reveals
that "the majority of veterans wish higher
education with a definite vocational inter-
est." Engineering is said to rank first in
veterans' interest, business administration a
close second, and pre-medical third.

Because of this, educators fear that many
of today's G. I. students, who are now en-
rolled in junior and liberal arts colleges,
will seek to matriculate in the larger uni-
versities for their professional training.
Since these universities will have their own
lower classes going into the professional
courses, it is expected that a critical situa-
tion will arise.

"In general, veterans' marks have been
higher than normal prewar classes," the
booklet says in reporting on the G. I.s as
students. "Returning veterans have done
better than before they left campus to enter
the armed services."

"The University of Richmond and many
other institutions call it 'a pleasure to
teach' the G. I.s," the study says. Other
institutions are reported as saying that the
veterans are "intolerant of poor teaching"
and that they "demand to know why state-
ments (of the professors) are true."

It is reported that the G. I. Bill of Rights
has democratized higher education by mak-
ing it possible for 75 to 80 per cent of our
G. I. high school graduates to attend col-
lege, as compared to less than 50 per cent
of high school graduates who went to col-
lege in the pre-war years. And the propor-
tion who have been withdrawing from
school, as compared to the pre-war years,
is said to be only one-half to one-fifth as
great.

The educational study points to the need
of "careful, realistic vocational guidance
based upon a knowledge of job opportuni-
ties as well as of aptitudes." It is said that,
while engineering leads the field in veter-
ans' interest, it is estimated that the de-
mand for college- trained engineers will be
filled by 1953. After that "only replace-
ments will be needed."

The study generally indicates that the
present overcrowded situation in our col-
leges and universities will continue for
three to five years, and that college enroll-
ments will never again drop to their pre-
war levels.

The G. I.s, as students, are hailed as Phi
Beta Kappas in the art of "griping." One
Western college official speaks of their
"directness, maturity and 'post-graduate
skill' in griping when things can be im-
proved . . . griping, not whining." The in-
stitutions generally bend every effort to im-
prove conditions that prompt the "gripes."

TO O.C.S.

Pvt. George L. Shelhorse, son of Mrs. R.
I. Poole, 2112 Suitland terrace S.E., Wash-
ington, D. C, has been transferred to Offi-
cers' Candidate School at Fort Benning.
Ga., from the Aberdeen Proving Ground.
He enlisted in the Army after four years
in the Maritime Commission in Washing-
ton. He is a former University of Maryland
student where he was enrolled in the Col-
lege of Engineering in 1945.

CHANGE IN CONTROL

Dr. H. C. Byrd recently appeared before
the State Legislative Council to request
that the University be relieved of certain
political restrictions that are now said to
prevent its efficient and economical opera-
tion.

President Byrd emphasized that he had
no intention whatsoever of reflecting in the
slightest degree upon any individuals or any
other State officers. He re-emphasized that
gradually conditions have developed,
through laws or regulations established by
other offices, that have taken away from the
Board of Regents the powers that the
Board should continue to have if it is to be
leld responsible for the obligations placed
upon it by the Charter creating the Board
and the University.

\fembers of the Board are appointed by
the Governor of the State for terms of nine
years each, beginning the first Monday in
June.

The President of the University of Mary-
land is, by law, Executive Officer of the
Board.

The State Law provides that the Board
of Regents of the University of Maryland
shall constitute the Maryland State Board
of Agriculture.

A regular meeting of the Board is held
the last Friday in each month, except dur-
ing the months of July and August.

Judge William P. Cole, Jr., of Baltimore,
is Chairman of the Board of Regents. Other
members are Thomas R. Brookes, Vice-
Chairman, Bel Air; Stanford Z. Rothschild,
Secretary, Baltimore; J. Milton Patterson,
Treasurer, Baltimore; E. Paul Knotts, Den-
ton; Glenn L. Martin, Baltimore; Charles
P. McCormick, Baltimore; Harry H. Nuttle,
Denton; Philip C. Turner, Baltimore; Mil-
lard E. Tydings, Washington, D. C; Mrs.
John L. Whitehurst, Baltimore.

Dr. Byrd says that these restrictions cover
a good deal of territory, and that he has
asked the Education Commission, now mak-
ing a survey of higher education in Mary-
land, to study all the problems involved in
these restrictions. According to Dr. Byrd,
there is no doubt that such a study will
eventually relieve the University of some
of the restrictions to which he has called
the attention of representatives of the
Legislature.

The organization is based around the
Board of Regents and the president. The
Board is composed of 1 1 members appoint-
ed bv the governor for a period of 9 years.
Dr. Byrd is, by law, the executive officer of
the Board. This is the policy making group
and has, theoretically, at least, complete
control of the actions of the University.

The budget of Maryland is submitted by
the comptroller, Mr. C. A. Benton, to the
Board of Regents. After this approval, it
is submitted to the State Budget Director,
who presents it to the Board of Public
Works. From that body it goes to the Legis-
lature.

Following is the complete text of Dr.
Byrd's statement before the Legislature: —

"The University of Maryland comes be-
fore you today to request that the Legisla-
ture give special consideration to the politi-
cal controls which hamper the efficient and

economic operation of the University and
to take such action as the facts discovered
may warrant.

"In connection with the above request,
we wish to advise you that the University
is asking the commission now making a
study of higher education in the State to
include in its study the political restrictions
with which the University has to contend.

"The University is not now placing before
you in detail the various facts which have
caused it to make this request. However,
certain general statements would seem to be
in order. These are: It is impossible to
operate the University economically and
efficiently under present political restric-
tions and control. The University's Board
of Regents is denied the authority to act
effectively in those matters, which, under
the Law, are its responsibility. The Uni-
versity has to contend with political re-
strictions, to which no other State univer-
sity or land-grant college in the United
States is subjected. Under present restric-
tions, the State is disregarding the provi-
sions of the Federal Law in the handling
of Federal Funds, for which the University
is responsible. The State Employment Com-
missioner has too much power over em-
ployees of the University.

"As very brief illustrations of what is
meant by the above, the following items
may be mentioned: The Attorney General
recently gave an opinion that the Board of
Public Works of the State controls and has
authority with regard to the salary of every
professor in the University, every research
man in the University, and every other pro-
fessional man employed. Such a condition
is manifestly not in keeping with successful
operation of the University, because no
other University in the country is subject
to such political control of its faculty's

salaries, and such a control should not
exist. The effect of this, were it to become
generally known that the Board of Regents
does not control salaries of its professors
would be disastrous in competing for good
men.

"Judge Chestnut, in a letter to the Gov-
ernor resigning from the Board, defined the
attitude of the Board when he said that it
is "incompatible with the Board of Regents
of the University to be subject to these re-
strictions," and that it is "quite impossible
to efficiently conduct a great university
under the restrictions of such an act."

"The simple question is whether or not
the Board of Regents of the University will
have authority in matters that relate to the
University of Maryland, in order that the
Board may discharge, in its best judgment,
the responsibilities that the law places in
the Board.

"Of course, the University realizes that,
as a public institution, it should be subject
to certain control, such as accounting for
funds, etc. It has not the slightest objec-
tion to such controls. But when controls
and restrictions reach into the operation of
the University to prevent efficient and eco-
nomic management, then it is time that
such controls and restrictions be eliminated
or modified.

"We suggest that, immediately after the
Legislature convenes, a special committee
of members of the Legislature be appointed
to make a detailed investigation of the con-
trols and restrictions above referred to and
report back to the Legislature its recom-
mendations as to such action by the Legis-
lature as the facts may warrant. Such com-
mittee, of course, would naturally seek the
advice of the Commission, and the experts
employed by the Commission, on Higher
Education."

KAPPA ALPHA THETA

The oldest Greek letter fraternity, Kappa
Alpha Theta, is the newest sorority on the
campus of the University of Maryland.

Miss Jean Ford of Lancaster, Pa., and
graduate of Penn State, was asked by the
National Council of Theta to come to
Maryland to colonize this group. During
the week of formal rushing, Jean was
helped by local alumnae and Miss Sally
Reed, a sophomore from Randolph-Macon,
and Miss Mary Dow, junior from Purdue.
Both girls are residents of Washington, D.C.,
and have transferred to Maryland.

K. A. T. now holds forth in the base-

Kappa Alpha Theta was established in
1870 and three months later Kappa Kappa
Gamma was organized. The latter sorority-
has been on the Maryland campus for some
time.

Besides colonizing a sorority, Jean Ford
is working on her master's degree and act-
ing as assistant house mother at Anne Arun-

NAVY DUTY CALLS

Naval Reserve Officers, below the rank
of Captain, who are now on inactive dut)
and who have had experience in advertis-
ing, journalism or radio, desiring to volun-
teer for active duty in the Naval Reserve
recruiting program until at least 1 July
1947, are requested to submit their appli-
cations.

Those officers selected will be assigned
to duty in one of the following cities:
Washington, D. C; New York City; Balti-
more, Maryland; Atlanta, Georgia; Colum-
bus, Ohio; Chicago, Illinois; Omaha,
Nebraska; Dallas, Texas, and Salt Lake
City, Utah.

Reserve Officers of the rank of Lieu-
tenant Commander and below, Warrant
Officers and enlisted personnel on inactive
duty may be recalled to active service for
duty with the Naval Reserve recruiting
program, Capt. Will L. Gates, USNR, Act-
ing Director of Naval Reserve for the
Potomac River Naval Command has an-
nounced.

With the exception of enlisted person-
nel who hold the following rates all per-
sonnel are eligible for active duty. Those
enlisted men who were Ship's Service Men,
Specialists "F," and Yeomen and pharma-
cists mates below the fourth pay grade

STREAM POLLUTION

Dean S. S. Steinberg, Dean of the College
dI Engineering, I niversity oi Maryland, as

in. id of a committee to study the State's
pollution control laws, recently made a

report to the Legislative Advisory Council
in which he advocated changes in the ad-
ministrative setup designed to strengthen
the Stale's control over pollution problems.
Under the committee's plan a State water
control board would be established that
would include as members the heads of
the various Suite agencies now dealing with
pollution problems.

The board would have final authority
over the enforcement of antipollution laws
and, by its structure, would co-ordinate the

work of the various agencies, such as the
Department of Health, the Tidewater Fish-
cries Commission and the Commission on
Game and Inland Fisheries,

Dean Steinberg explained that Maryland
now has plenty of laws against pollution,
although they have not always been
properly enforced.

As an additional step in (leaning up the
State's rivers and streams, Dean Steinberg
said, a research program planned at the
university will be carried out if sufficient
funds can be found.

Members of the Potomac River Com-
mission said the funds for this program
might come from industry as a part of its
attempts to find new process that wotdd
reduce the wastes now discarded. It is
through such programs, members said, that
industry in the past has developed new
products from materials that once were
discarded.

Maryland's water control laws have not
always been adequate in the past. While
laws to control stream pollution are on
the books, the authority to administer
them has been divided among several State
agencies, resulting in a lack of coordination
and poor enforcement.

Observers believe, however that the Mary-
land General Assembly when it convenes
early next year, will take steps to correct
the faulty administration of its pollution
control laws.

ARMY BUILDINGS

From Fort Washington, Md., the Uni-
versity of Maryland received eight tem-
porary frame structures plus iwo Quonset
huts from Camp Perry, Va. These will
give the university 22,000 additional square
feet of space for its chemistry, industrial
arts, civil and electrical engineering, ani-
mal husbandry and psychologv departments
and for book storage and recreational
purposes.

MARYLAND WEARS 'EM

A long-haired outfit has come out with
the statement that college gals aren't wear-
ing bobby sox any more.

Huh?

At Maryland bobby sox are numerous.

The claim was made by Myron Heidings-
field, an economist at Temple University,
and Psychologist A. B. Blankenship, head
of National Analysts, Inc.

They recently founded a new service
called campus surveys, and on their first try
maintained: "bobby sox are a thing of the

MARYLAND WEARS 'EM

Despite a survey showing that bobby socks no
longer adorn the campus, they are extremely evi-
dent around Washington. Above, is a sample of
their popularity at Maryland University. Left to
right, Peggy Rafferty, Betty Train, Carolyn Bryan,
Betty Heyser and Dottie McCaslin.

past among American coeds," saying 90 per
cent wear sheer stockings instead.

Blankenship and Heidingsfield said they
also discovered that 99 per cent of the co-
eds use lipstick, 45 per cent use rouge, and
a "skimpy" 28 per cent possess pancake
makeup, while the majority use toilet water
instead of perfume.

This part of their survey checks at Mary-
land. On the bobby sox . . . No. . . . They
have sold the short sox short.

Some Tri-Delt Sorority girls were queried
on the subject of sheer stockings. Peggy
Rafferty, 19, said, "Why, you never see the
things on the campus," while Dottie Mc-
Caslin, 19, added: "They're not comfort-
able, they're expensive, and besides, they're
just not in."

Peggy, incidentally, was wearing her
father's socks.

The whole "why" of the low shoes and
bobby sox for the coeds was summed up by
Lucille Andrews, 18, when she said, "Com-
fort, natch."

However, Betty "Choo Choo" Train, 21,
pointed out that the girls for dates "shoot
the works" on dressing up, a sentiment
seconded by Jack Flynn, 20, of Sigma Nu.

SWEATERS TOO

Sweater sheathed Peggy Rafferty puts on the
finishing touches before going to class. Her
sorority is Tri-Delt.

He remarked:

"Most guys like for the girls to wear low
shoes around the campus, but we want
them spiffed up when we take them out."

CONTRAST

Lucille Andrews wears moccasins, bobby socks,
dungarees rolled to the knee, and a plaid shirt
over a white one. Betty Heyser appears on high
heels, in long hose, a two-piece suit, and carries
gloves and purse.

All of the girls agreed that practically
every coed wore lipstick, but most went
light on the other makeup goo.

NAVY NEEDS ENGINEERS

The Civil Engineer Corps of the United
States Navy will shortly hold examinations
to commission 75 qualified engineers, 22 to
30 years old, as Lieutenant (junior grade)
in the Civil Engineer Corps of the Navy.

Eligible are native or naturalized citizens
with three years engineering experience,
two of them subsequent to receipt of their
degree, or the military equivalent. Appli-
cants must be physically, mentally, mor-
ally and professionally fit. Applications
may be obtained and filed at nearest Offices
of Naval Officer Procurement.

Exams, to be held on two separate days
at the discretion of ON'Ol's. will consists of
a 2i/2-hour general engineering test, an oral
exam, and a 90-minute test on engineering
problems. None of the exams will require
special preparation as questions will test
general engineering knowledge of the ap-
plicant.

An important consideration in these ex-
aminations will be the candidate's experi-
ence. Exams w : ill not be aimed at the man
fiesh from textbooks, capable of extensive
quotations. Preferable is the man with ex-
perience and vision, who has developed
ability to reason, and initiative to solve
problems set before him.

The future Civil Engineer Corps must
deal with new and complicated construc-
tion projects to meet the challenge of the

times. Men of imagination, with a practical
knowledge of the subject, will be needed to
plan and construct these projects. Such
men are being sought by means of these
tests and will be welcomed by the Civil
Engineer Corps. They will find, in turn,
that the Civil Engineer Corps affords them
opportunity for interesting and important
work in the engineering field.

WASHINGTON COLLEGE

Washington College, on the Eastern
Shore, was endowed by George Washington,
he having donated for this purpose the
bonus given to him by Congress after the
Revolutionary War. It is claimed that the
College conferred a degree upon Wash-
ington.

IRANIAN GRADS

Rahim Mottaghi Iravani and Abbas Or-
doobadi, two outstanding graduate students
from Iran, Persia, are at the University of
Maryland as candidates for the Doctorate
degree in economics while serving as for-
eign correspondents for the United Nations.

Iravani was born in Sheraz in 1920, and
attended elementary schools there. His
higher education was obtained at SMC, an
English college, and at the University of
Teheran. He has published two books, one
for Iranian students wishing to learn Eng-
lish, and a guide for understanding the
typical Englishman's conversation. He is a
correspondent of six Iran newspapers and
for the United Nations.

Ordoobadi was also born in Sheraz in
1923. He attended Nemezi School, an ele-
mentary school in his home town. He was
a student at the American College, which
was established by Dr. S. M. Jordan, who
now resides in California. This school is
closed at present, as are all American col-
leges in Iran due to the lack of American
professors. Ordoobadi resumed his studies
of law, politics, and economics at the Uni-
versity of Teheran, where he obtained his
Bachelor degree. The subject for his thesis
was "Poverty and Its Treatment."

Upon entering Maryland to further com-
plete their studies, the two Iranians found
the housing problem acute. "In our coun-

try foreigners have no trouble finding dor-
mitory rooms. They are given the best
facilities by the University," Iravani stated.
The Iranians have joined the Diamond-
back staff in order to write a series of edi-
torials on the differences between the
Iranian University and Maryland. Both
have had experience in working on student
publications. "Ayeen Daneshjooyan" (man-
ner of students), the first magazine to be
published by students in Iran, was founded
and edited by Iravani and Ordoobadi in
1944 at the University of Teheran. This
magazine was circulated through the whole
country and contained political as well as
literary material.

PERSHING RIFLES

The Pershing Rifles, a national military
drill organization, is being reactivated at
the University of Maryland after an ab-
sence of four years. Any member of the
basic ROTC is eligible for membership if
he meets the prescribed requirements.

The Pershing Rifles strive for perfection
in drill, and serve as an honor guard for
visiting dignitaries on special occasions. In
the past, the group was called upon to
participate in ceremonies held at the Tomb
of the Unknown Soldier in Arlington Na-
tional Cemetery on Armistice Day.

EDITED ON CAMPUS

Editorial activities of the National Foun-
dation for Education in American Citizen-
ship are being conducted on the Maryland
campus. Dr. Franklin L. Burdette, asso-
ciate professor of government and politics,
is editor of publications for the Foundation.

The Foundation, with central offices in
Indianapolis, was organized six years ago
to cooperate with educational organizations
in publishing teaching material, building
curricula, and stimulating interest in the
study of the American form of government.
Its activities now include publication of
books and pamphlets, organization of com-
munity forums and study groups, and co-
operation with professional societies
financing projects in civic education.

FIRE TRAINING

The Fire Extension Service Building at
the University of Maryland, dedicated last
summer is the new home of a fire extension
course which has taken on all the aspects
of a major subject.

The University has taken a forward step
in this branch of education, for the course,
under the direction of Chief J. W. Just, is
one of the first of its type in the world.

In cooperation with the Maryland State
Firemen's Association the fire extension
service offers three courses to all firemen in
the state: fireman basic, fireman advanced,
and an industrial course.

HOMECOMING DAY

The University of Maryland's Board of
Regents on Homecoming Day, November 9,

1946 approved a §4,047,749 budget for 1948.
an increase of $2,323,076 over the State ap-
propriation for 1947, as more than 4,000
graduates participated in the institution's
annual Homecoming Day exercises at Col-
lege Park.

The board said the increase requested
for 1948 would be "a minor part of the
expenditures necessary for educational pur-
poses, since it is almost certain to be an
institution, in another year, trebled in size."

It added: "It is believed that, if the en-
tire increase be granted, the State of Mary-
land still will be appropriating a much
smaller percentage in proportion to the
total expenditures than any other State."

The board listed the following items
among requested increases:

For University Hospital and the medical
school in Baltimore, an increase of $209,000
"in order that these important institutions
can meet the requirements of modern medi-
cal education."

For all other teaching departments,
$432,000, "a large part of which is necessary
in order to handle the large influx of stu-
dents."

For all departments, $458,610 "to meet
the increase in classified employes salaries,
already directed by the Standard Salary
Board and now in effect."

A total of $228,046 to absorb a deficit at
the medical and dental schools as well as
university hospitals, due to increased costs
of food, drugs, medical supplies.

For "necessary improvements to the uni-
versity dental school," $11,000.

For the Glenn L. Martin College of Engi-
neering and Aeronautics, $75,000 "to cover
additional teaching and research personnel."

For expansion of services in the field of
agriculture, $247,000.

For Princess Anne Academy, $28,000 "in
order to place the college on an accredited
basis."

Tug-O-War

The traditional tug-of-war between the
freshmen and sophomores was won by the
first-year students on the first try. Four
sophomores, all that could be rounded up
for the event, were quickly submerged into
the cold waters of Paint Branch creek by
20 freshmen while a crowd of nearly 300
students and alumni watched.

Rovello Wins Shoot

The Alumni rifle shoot, a standing match
for which the score cards of alumni rifle-
men were collected all day, was won by
Robert M. Rovello, '43, just back from
commissioned service in the Army and now
teaching at Maryland. Rovello missed the
target entirely on his first shot but dropped
only eight points of a possible on the next
nine tries. He pulled up with a high card
of 82.

Rovello also won the turkey shoot, a
"luck in" event that works like a cigar
counter punch board. You shoot at a small
card board turkey and the numbers you
score are marked in various areas on the
back of the bird.

There was a tea in the student lounge
after the football game and a meeting of
the University of Maryland Alumni Asso-
ciation. The University Footlight Club also
presented "Squaring the Circle." The Black

and Gold Ball in the new gym armory
to the music of Trumpets Billy Butter-
ficld's band concluded Homecoming Day's
exercises.

1 hroughout the day the Maryland cam-
pus was a scene of activity and entertain-

PUBLICATION!

This Magazine Needs YOUR Support

VflARYLAND, the publication of the alumni of the University of Maryland, hopes
to keep pace, in size and appearance, with the rapid growth of the University
as a whole. It is the intention to make the magazine a medium of expression which
should represent adequately the University and the State.

The University will finance the first three issues of the magazine (December,
1946; January and February, 1947). Copies will be sent to every alumnus whose
address is available. It is hoped that after these first three issues, there will be
sufficient alumni interest to finance in large part, if not completely, the publication.

Also, plans are underway to develop, centralize, and vitalize an organization of
alumni of the University, so that alumni strength and influence will be commensurate
with the number of alumni. In this development the new publication will play a
vital part.

This issue of the magazine sets a standard that the University and alumni should
maintain. It needs YOUR support 1

The Editors herewith extend New Year greetings to all.

EDITORIA

AN ATHLETE PASSES

MARYLAND sports fans well remember
Morris P. Guerrant, crackerjack
featherweight boxer who came to the Ter-
rapins from Augusta Military Academy.

Ringsiders will recall him as an athlete
of outstanding ability, fine sportmanship
and more than his share of fortitude.

These fine qualities young Guerrant car-
ried into the Parachute Infantry where he
was a First Lieutenant.

Writing of Guerrant, Major J. C. McCue,
Jr., said, "I'll never forget his first bout in
the ring. He was 12. He was still the same
happy, smiling boy after he had won three
South Atlantic ring championships. He
never became conceited. He could smile
when the going got tough. An unspoiled,
lovable boy, blessed with a true fighting
heart."

Guerrant made his last great fight in
Europe. He gave 1 1 is life there. In that
premise Major Mi Cue comments, "Had he
lived long enough to hear 'Well done'! he
would have smiled in reply, 'Really?
Thanks, sir!' He was that kind of a kid."

First Lieutenant James Rennie, who saw
Lieutenant Guerrant killed in action, com-
ments, "A brave, aggressive troop leader.
An inspiration to his men."

First Lieutenant Guerrant was awarded
the Silver Star, posthumously, after having
first won the Bronze Star Medal. Just how
a smart, courageous, athletically trained
leader of men behaves under fire is indi-
cated by the citations which read as fol-
lows: —

Silver Star

"For gallantry in action on 30 April 1945
at ***. Germany. Lieutenant Guerrant,
platoon leader, advanced ahead of his
platoon's scouts, over open terrain, armed
with only a pistol and a hand grenade. Un-
expected enemy fire from a well prepared
strong point severed his platoon and scat-
tered its forward elements. Lieutenant
Guerrant continued to advance alone to-
ward the forward enemy outpost positions,
killing two of the enemy and forcing the
rest to withdraw. Lieutenant Guerrant
then deployed his platoon and advanced
alone around the enemy flank, over open
ground and through the direct fire and
observation of the enemy. Lieutenant
Guerrant was mortally wounded in this
position but continued to fire upon the
enemy until death. His extreme devotion
to duty reflects great credit on the highest
traditions of the Airborne Forces of the
United States Army."

Bronze Star Medal

"For heroic conduct in action on 7 Janu
at \ [945 near ***. Lieutenant Guerrant,
Assistant Platoon Leader, during a fire
fight, operated as an observer 400 yards
in front of his own lines. He made four
tiring trips back and forth, infiltrating
through the scattered enemy each time,

directing and correcting mortar fire. His
route back to his own lines was under
intermittent mortar fire. Without wire or
radio communications, he supervised suc-
cessful limited pursuit of the enemy after
they had started their withdrawal. Because
of his aggressiveness and initiative, a much
longer and harder fire fight was avoided.
His conduct reflects great credit on himself
and the Airborne Forces of the United
States Army."

GIVE A THOUGHT...

(Homecoming 1944, editorial in
"The Diamondback")

Homecoming, and the campus over run
with our honored guests — the alumni.
Parents and friends of the students also.
Maryland's largest student body welcomes
them.

Coming home to the campus has been
a tradition at Maryland for a quarter of a
century. And, although the tradition is in
vogue at nearly every college in the country,
our own celebration is a special one in
which each of us takes the leading role.

Homecoming is above all an opportunity
for members of the alumni to renew ac-
quaintances with each other and with the
faculty and to see what's going on around
the campus. They have a lot to sec this
year — new buildings, ugly construction
projects, and a surprising horde of students.

In all fairness to normalcy, the floats, the
pretty girls, the black and (.old dance, the
between halves entertainment, the football
game itself, are scheduled to run off like
clockwork, and like 1941. Our dwarf-sized
stadium will be jammed, the excess crowd
settling wherever there is space. Except
for the obviously increased average age of

the majority of students, one would be led
to believe that nothing has altered; that
the grand, old customs mc the same.

Don't kid yourselt!

College life has changed whether we like
to admit it or not. The light hearts and
gay exhuberance are still very much in
evidence on the surface; but beneath,
there is an older and more subdued spirit
than heretofore; a spirit conceived in war-
time and nursed through victory until now
the whole of campus living seems imbued
with it.

Celebrations fit uneasily into the present
pattern unless they arc made deeply satis
fying by their very sobriety. This is to say
then that our gladness in the continuance
of a tradition is only complete, when we
check it in relation to what a tremendous
job had to be done to assure this continu-
ity. W'e don't have to tie ourselves into
mental knots to figure that out.

There is no need lor an overdose of
seriousness. College boys and girls will go
their merry way, and it is after all a fine
way. as long as we have colleges and youth
together. For the time being though, we
have this more mature element which has
infiltrated into the classrooms, and which
can do its best job by serving to remind
the extremely young among us, that the
existence of the college and her celebrations
is due to sacrifices which should not be
forgotten too soon.

Our homecoming is a friendly welcome
to every one joining us for the festivities,
and a grateful, unspoken welcome to the
kids who are not able to make it this year,
or next. So it is not inappropriate for us
to inject a solemn note along with the
predominantly happy one.

Hardly a class reunion will be without
its missing faces. Familiar guys and fami-
liar names like Mason Chronister and
Ralph Fisher and Paul Newgarden won't
be here. And there are many others, God
knows there are too many others, who left
the campus and went to war and somehow
skipped roll call on the way back.

It might not be a bad idea for those of
us who celebrate Homecoming in the old,
joyous fashion, to try and think, if only
for a little while, of the Maryland men
who not so long ago fought so hard to
make such traditions like our Homecoming
could survive.

ITS THE CLASS

Some time when you are down near 18th
and Constitution Avenue in Washington
take a look at the State flags grouped
around the [wo Jima monument. Look
them over carefully. You'll be proud of
Maryland.

The other state flags show dates, State
seals, and various other insigniae voted
upon by the State legislators concerned
when they accepted the design of their re-
spective state flags.

Maryland's is something else again. It is
"the class." It is a "standout." It is the
only flag in the lot with basic pre-contin-
ental and continental heraldry and color.

Students of such things oftimes comment
upon it. And they are not from Maryland.

THE G.I. STUDENT

In the last issue of Maryland there ap-
peared an article titled "Veterans Active on
Campus." In this issue read "They Fooled
Me," by Andrew Maurois.

The former article was printed follow-
ing considerable research and inquiry on
the University of Maryland campus over
a span of several months. The latter
article culminates similar research at an-
other university.

The opinion is overwhelmingly in the
majority that the former Service man is a
mighty fine college student.

In this premise Dr. H. C. Byrd, President
of the University of Maryland, recently
said, "GI students as a whole are the best
students we ever have had at Maryland.
That holds good morally, physically and on
an educational basis."

In view of such opinion it is extremely
difficult to understand the contention in
some quarters to the effect that the same
ex-GI above referred to does not make a
good collegiate athlete, because he has not
adapted himself to the campus and the old
college spirit. An athletic officer at a mid-
western school published that opinion.

That does not add up in face of the
fact that all college teams, win or lose, are
loaded up with ex-GI athletes. It would
seem to be fair to assume that something
other than military - naval service makes
them win or makes them lose in sport, win-
ners and losers both being largely ex-service
men.

Let us here assume that Service doctrine
and training still control the life of the
ex-GI college man. Such a fellow would
have learned, in the Service, something
about definite objectives.

In the military-naval services everything
was toward definite objectives. "That"
beach head to be taken, "that" island base
to be hopped, "that" line to be cracked.

So the beach heads were taken, the
islands hopped, the lines cracked and GI
Joe became Joe College. His objective now
is and should be "that" college degree, an
objective which, but for the GI Bill of
Rights, many GI's would not have had at
all. They want that college education and
the best faculty opinion all over the country
lauds them for going after it in great style.

Athletics are only a part of college life,
a means to an end. Some schools rate the
value of sports high, some low. At MARY-
LAND, from Dr. Byrd on down the line,
the athletic program and its contribution
toward education is rated highly.

In athletics the ex-Serviceman can again
apply his service training. He knows that
the U. S. Navy, for instance, can definitely
prove, through the years, that the ship with
the good athletic teams is also the one with
the shooting and steaming trophies. He
knows that, in after years, when he looks
back on his career at Maryland he'd rather
say "I was a champion on a championship

team!" than "I just monkeyed around in
sports for fun."

The Services, above all other things
taught the service man to want to WIN.
To win battles, to win good physical condi-
tion, to win promotion, to win that home-
ward bound trip and that college degree.

Winning a stinking hot rock like Iwo at
the cost of thousands of buddies is some-
thing to win. Kicking a field goal or toss-
ing a basket, or outpointing an opponent
in a boxing ring is what the Services taught
as training toward winning places like Iwo
and Anzio.

Probably better than any group in any
walk of life the service trained youngsters
to appreciate the verity of the axiom,

"In order to reach a goal in life you
must have one!"

SEAGOING STENTOR

A fine example of Service training toward
striving to win athletic events was provided
some years ago, when the Commander in
Chief of the. Atlantic Fleet, Admiral Henry
Braid Wilson, U. S. N., lined up all of the
fleet athletes on the quarterdeck of the
U. S. S. Pennsylvania and, after a ding-
dong pep talk, concluded with,

" I would like to coin a motto for ath-
letes. A motto that I hope will survive.
It is

BE MODEST WINNERS, GAME LOS-
ERS, BUT ABOVE ALL, GOOD SPORTS-
MEN!' "

The Admiral's motto stuck. It is still
used. But we always liked the stentorian
gob in the rear rank who, inserting a dash
behind the Admiral's motto, bellowed forth
an addition that has also stuck. The sailor
yelled "BUT DON'T LOSE!"

OVERSTUFFED

(From "The Diamondback")

Everybody wants a new stadium; but
how many of us know what has to be done
to assure one being built on the campus
in the forseeable future?

The students are not the only people
who want the stadium. Dr. Byrd and his
staff, the members of the faculty, and
numerous friends of the University are
anxious to have our antiquated plant re-
placed by a modern one.

The builders of the present stadium
originally planned it as a one-sided concrete
structure with its back to the boulevard.
When it was built its seating capacity was
consistent with the enrollment and the
athletic policy of the university. Through
the years, the school jumped its enrollment
and, inevitably, school officials began to
overhaul their outmoded attitude toward
sports.

The wooden stands across the field where
the sudent body now sits were added and
with the final addition of the temporary
stands behind the goal posts, the capacity
of the stadium climbed to approximately
12,000. That isn't enough.

Maryland's football teams have come a
long way since the '30's. Dr. Byrd, one
time football coach, has always wanted
Maryland to be ably represented on the
athletic fields and with this in mind Clark
Shaughnessy was lured from Stanford in '42

HE'S A BIG BOY NOW

The student body grows and grows. Byrd
Stadium does not.

with the promise of a lucrative contract,
and, although he was not with us during
the war, he has again returned to coach
Maryland squads.

All this ties in with the urgent need for
a new stadium. As the teams, supported by
a record-breaking enrollment which will
undoubtedly remain huge for years to
come, grow in stature and performance,
we'll need a big, modern stadium to handle
the crowds. The stadium, of course, would
eventually pay for itself.

But, though plans are drawn up and
have been discussed by top-level adminis-
tration men, the final go ahead must come
from Annapolis.

Those in charge of the tremendous ex-
pansion program being rushed to comple-
tion on the campus insist that dormitories
and new classrooms come first. That makes
sense even to zealous sports fans.

It looks as if we've got to have patience,
and sweat out the erection of a new sta-
dium for a while yet, anyway. In the mean-
time, let's play the game for all it's worth.

HE LIKES US

This is how a State and a University
wins friends.

"Last summer I was privileged to enjoy
a portion of my vacation on the Eastern
shore of Maryland, in the vicinity of
Easton," writes Homer V. Miles. Jr., of
New Castle, Pa.

"I was very much pleased," Mr. Miles
goes on to say, "with the hospitality ac-
corded me and I decided I would like
to spend more time in that beautiful State."

"The University of Maryland was men-
tioned often during my stay and, since this
is my senior year in high school I am very
eager to obtain information about entry
into the University," Mr. Miles concludes,
"and before winter is upon us I plan to
motor down to visit your campus. I hope
I may be fortunate enough to soon be a
part of that campus."

The above is neither a muster list of
the United Nations conference nor a release
of Notre Dame's football roster.

It is a list of star-spangled Yankee Doodle
Americans, recipients of the very highest
citizenship award our country can bestow.

To be a descendant of the Americans
who came over on the Mayflower, to be
a son or Daughter of the American Revo-
lution is something to inspire justifiable
pride.

But the list above includes only Ameri-
cans and descendants of Americans who
became Americans by choice, not by the
accident of birth.

In the above list of names are represented
the frightened, pioneers strangers from
another country, going through the pain
of not being understood in a new country.

Some of their parents never learned the
American language. Many lived in ghettos
and shantytowns all their lives. Here are
Czech and Yugoslav, Japanese, Austrian,
Greek, German, Italian, Irish, French, Scan-
dinavian, Armenian. Mexican. The Jap
name in the list above represents a very
large group of Americans of Japanese de-
scent who had something to prove and did
so.

The German names in the above list
represent what Robert Moses once called
the "Beiunsnichts" ("Be, tins nidus gut in
E'uropa; aber hicr ist es besscr").

The children of such Americans arc
moulded in the American system. They
become great Americans.

These days, unfortunately, we hear and
read much of intolerance, of condemnation
of the fellow who is of another race, an-
other color, another religion.

What would constitute a great test of
their right to be Americans? We'd say
service in uniform; the willingness to fight
and to die for the United States.

And for such service the very greatest
honor this country can bestow lies in win-
ning the Congressional Medal of Honor,
the nation's top llight, grade "A" award
that comes only to bravest of the heroic
Americans who rendered service above and
beyond the call of duty.

The foreign sounding names of the
Americans listed above are called at random
fiom a list of the winners of the CON-
GRESSIONAL MEDAL OF HONOR!

But Others Too

And, of course, the list of Medals of
Honor also includes such names as Smedley

D, Butler, Douglas A. Munro and others.

It includes the name of Ernest Childers,
just to go to the other extreme of Ameri-
cans.

Ernest Childers dates back to long before
the Mayflower. When he won from this
nation the Congressional Medal of Honor
he also won a similar award from another
nation of his. The Osage nation. Childers
is a full blooded Osage Indian who was
decorated with the Necklace of the Horses
leeth, which goes only to the great war-
riors among the Osages, something on a
parity with the Medal of Honor. 1 hat
recalls the experience of a draft board
which, in the routine course of its duties,
sent one of its "greeting" cards to a young
buck on a nearby Indian Reservation.

The next day a cloud of dust down the
main stem signalled the approach, on horse-
back, of the old chief, followed by a great
number of young bucks, all in war paint.

With a challenging gesture of disdain
the old chief approached the desk of the
draft chairman, tossed the card on the
desk, stepped back, folded his arms, and
demanded.

"Since when is it necessary to draft a
Sioux to fight for his country?

APPRECIATED BOKAY

"Congratulations on 'MARYLAND,' the
Alumni Publication," writes Peter W.
Chichester, '15, c.o. Dietrick & Gambrill,
Inc., Frederick, Md.

"This is a very fine publication," the
letter goes on to say, "and reflects great
credit on the University as well as the
alumni. All of us, for many years, have
realized that we needed a publication that
would be in accord with the growth of the
University and the alumni. Looks like this
is it and I want to congratulate you and
others responsible for the publication. In-
closed find my check."

(Editor's note — Thank you and we'll try-
to make it better from issue to issue.)

"I just received my copy of the new
magazine, MARYLAND.'' writes Jos. Win.
Kinghorne, "and I want to congratulate you
and all who contributed toward producing
a really fine publication."

"I want to congratulate you," writes Abe
J. Greene, Patcrson, N. J., newspaper pub-
lisher, "on the fine job done on producing
MARYLAND. It is a fine job and reflects
a tremendous amount of intelligent effort."

THE SCHOOLMASTER

An important observation, which is still
true, was when Lewis Cass, many years ago,
said: "The schoolmaster is a more power-
ful antagonist than the soldier, and the
alphabet is a more efficient weapon than
the bayonet."

MARYLAND VOLUNTEER FIREMEN

The formal dedication of the Fire Serv-
ice Extension Building at the Univer-
sity of Maryland on September 28, 1946,
suggested that a history of Volunteer Fire-
men in Maryland might be of interest to
the University's alumni and student body.
Here it is.

The year, 1892. The war with Spain was
still six years away. Horse drawn vehicles
moved at modest pace, often their wheels
mired deep in mud.

There were no aeroplanes, no radios, and
no movies. Automobiles were in the inven-
tive stage. The phonograph was still a
novelty.

t . Fire engines in the

larger towns were op-
erated by steam and
drawn by horses. In
smaller communities,
fire protection, if
available at all, was
provided by hand op-
erated pumpers, hose
reels and an occasional
ladder rig — all drawn
on the run by puffing
and panting volun-
teers.

Rivalry between fire
companies often was
bitter. There still were
Henry Marschalk instances when pitched
battles were fought over which company
would take water from the only hydrant
within hose line range of a fire, or which
company could draft from the nearest
cieek, cistern or well. Rival firemen some-
times began work on a burning building
with an outward show of harmony. How-
ever, in the blinding smoke it was easy
enough for the stream of water from one
crew to drench the men of another. That
started it. The feuding was on. So was
the fire!

A la John L.

Slashed hose was another problem.
This threat was countered by assigning
a goodly portion of active huskies to the
post of "hose guard," a man to each sec-
tion of hose. One can easily imagine these
gentlemen, with fierce handle-bar mustaches
or beards, standing defiantly a la John L.
Sullivan.

Firemen alone were not to blame for

this state of affairs. In many cases their
fellow townspeople had their favorites, had
chosen sides, egged them on and, upon
occasion, had joined them in battle!

How such things could happen in an
otherwise well ordered society is at first
hard to comprehend. Maybe it was because
fire fighting with hand operated pumpers
was a man-killing job in itself. It was back-
breaking. It was heart-breaking. Inefficient,
even under the best of conditions, perhaps
the very nature of the occasion, the fever
pitch of excitement, the youthfulness and
strength of the principals all combined to-
ward explosive tenseness that needed little
else to give it release.

War Taught Lesson

Fortunately, by 1892, such tragic foolish-
ness was on the wane. It appears to have
reached its peak about forty years earlier,

or just before the Civil War. A great lesson
of the war, that strength lies in unity, must
have been increasingly realized by firemen
everywhere. Towns were installing water
systems. Steam fire engines were in more
general use. Efforts against a stubborn fire
were becoming more successful. The long-
suffering property owner was beginning to
get a break.

But a long, uphill road was yet to be
travelled before volunteer fire departments
were to reach that high state of efficiency
of which they may well be proud today.

Such was the general scene fifty-four
years ago when far-sighted firemen of the
historic Frederick area conceived a firemen's
fraternal organization, statewide in scope.
These men were members of the three fire
companies of Frederick, The Independent
Hose Company No. 1, The Junior Fire
Company No. 2, and the United Fire Com-
pany No. 3, and of the Guardian Hose
Company of Mechanicstown (now Thur-
mont). To formulate definite plans they
selected a committee which met on Janu-
ary 20, 1893, at Independent Hall. At that
meeting, the following committee officers
were elected: Chairman, J. Roger McSherry;
Vice-Chairman, Judge Jas. McScherry, Ed-
ward Koontz, Benjamin H. Blackston, and
J F. D. Miller; Recording Secretary, Wil-
liam M. Crimmins; Assistant Secretary,
William R. Henshaw; Treasurer, H. R.
Heck. The following men were appointed
to draft a suitable constitution and by-
lays: J. Roger McSherry, William M. Crim-
mins, H. R. Heck, and J. F. D. Miller.

Constitution Adopted

The work of the latter group during the
succeeding two months was tiresome but
effective. On March 27th at Junior Hall,
this committee made a report of its delib-
erations to a joint meeting of all the fire
companies represented on the committee.
This report and the Constitution and By-
Laws they had so carefully prepared were
unanimously adopted.

And there was born the Maryland State
Firemen's Association.

The committee was then instructed to
communicate with fire companies and vet-
el an's organizations throughout the state,
soliciting their cooperation. The outcome
of this move was the holding, at Frederick
on June 7 and 8, 1893, of the first conven-

tion and parade of the new organization.
The Maryland State Firemen's Association
now was a small but healthy and promising
baby.

Twelve companies, including a veteran
firemen's group from Baltimore, were the
first to join. Beside the Baltimore veterans,
and the three companies of Frederick, four
were from Hagerstown, and one each was
from Frostburg, Port Deposit, Union
Bridge, and Westminster.

When addressing the Association's first
convention meeting, held the morning of
June 7th, President McScherry said in part,

' The volunteer firemen of our state

have at last awakened to the necessity of
a more thorough and complete organiza-
tion, and understanding this necessity, have
realized that to promote and increase their
efficiency as firemen, to encourage a frater-
nal feeling amongst one another and to
secure sufficient protection for themselves
a-v a class, such an organization is essential."
These words summed up the purposes for
which the Association was formed. They
show the keen foresight of President Mc-
Scherry. Maryland firemen recognize a debt
of gratitude to this clear-thinking pioneer-
ing leader — their Association's first presi-
dent. They appreciate, too, the faithful
work of his close associates who helped the
new organization come into being.

A Great Parade

A feature of that first convention was the
great parade and tournament which in-
cluded units from the District of Columbia,
Virginia, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Dela-
ware, New Jersey and New York. Approxi-
mately 5000 were in the line of march.

In the tournament, the steam fire engine
contest was won by the Columbia Steam
Fire Engine Company No. 4 of Alexandria,
Virginia which took eight minutes and ten

seconds to get up seam and pump water.

Veterans of Washington, D. C. and of
Baltimore competed in a hand engine con-
test. The Baltimore men won by throwing
water a horizontal distance of 143 feet, nine
inches as against 123 feet, two inches for
the boys from the District.

The hose race, which consisted of run-
ning 200 yards to a hydrant with a loaded

reel, making connection and laying out 150
feet of hose was won by the First Hose
Company, of Hagerstown, in 53i4 seconds.
Not bad!

A ladder raising contest was won by the
Water Witch Hook and Ladder Company,
of Annapolis, after a run of 200 yards
with a time of 51 14 seconds, total.

A drill of marching maneuvers was won
by the Junior Steam Fire Engine Company,
of Reading, Pennsylvania, when they scored
100 points as against 91 for their nearest
competitors, the Phoenix Steam Fire Com-
pany No. 4, of Wilmington, Delaware.

Maryland's first firemen's convention was
a huge success. As required under the by-
laws, it has been held during the month of
June every year since then except in 1945.
In that year it was postponed until after
lifting of a wartime ban on conventions.

Steady Growth

Growth by company membership in the
State Association was steady. By the turn
of the century there were accredited dele-
gates from twenty-nine fire companies — a
growth to more than double the original
number.

In that year of 1900, the convention
was held in Baltimore. Each year since
the first the convention had been held in a
different place, having gone from Frederick
to Hagerstown, Frostburg, Cumberland,
Annapolis, Salisbury and Westminster in
that order. The practice of holding the
convention in a different place each year
has been the general rule ever since. Of
course, some places have had the conven-
tions as many as six times, with varied
numbers of intervening years.

A Baltimore paper reported concerning
the great State Association parade held
there in 1900 that the local crowds were
very proud of the carefully polished engines

their city department had entered in the
line of march. No one realized then that
four years later Baltimore was to suffer one
of the great fires of history. Some of its
handsome fire apparatus would have to be
abandoned in the retreat before the dense
smoke, stifling heat, rampaging flames and
the falling walls. The loss when the last
flame was quelled figured to many millions
of dollars. Acres of business property were
reduced to blackened portions of walls,
gaunt chimneys and great heaps of rubble.
It is generally known that aid was sent
to the stricken city from the fire depart-
ments of New York, Philadelphia, and
Washington. It is not so well known, how-
ever, that volunteer firemen and apparatus
from as far distant as Annapolis, Maryland
were a factor in bringing the great fire
under control.

Membership Increased

Through succeeding years, the increase in
member companies in the Association was
steady. By 1905 the convention returned to
Hagerstown. This time there were dele-
gates registered from forty-one Maryland
fire companies. Once more a great parade
and various contests were features of the
gathering. Of particular note is the com-
ment of a contemporary reporter who was
deeply impressed with the display of elec-
tric lights both in and outside of many of
the business buildings in Hagerstown.

Return engagements were made to Balti-
more in 1910, Lonaconing in 1915, Western-
port in 1920 and a first visit to Ocean City
in 1925. In these years the Association had
doubled its membership — the accredited
delegates now were from 82 companies.

These yearly conventions have provided
Maryland firemen with plenty of amuse-
ment. Sometimes matters have gone almost
too far, such as at the time of the Elkton
convention in 1928 when the brothers re-
versed the order of arrest and locked the
sheriff in the town jail. High spirited fun?
Surely, even though it was embarrassing to
the lawl Conventioneers of other organi-

zations have been known to do similar
things, or worse. So have college boys.

A typical prank of the convention, held
in Frederick June 19th, 20th and 21st, 1946,
was as follows. A small bonfire would be
built in the street. An engine company,
primed in advance, would clang up to the
scene and then when a good sized crowd of
spectators had gathered around closely, the
small hose line from a water tank on the
apparatus would somehow become unman-
ageable enough to wet the onlookers. It is
surprising how many townspeople were
fooled in this manner.

Just Clowning

Another stunt which drew many laughs
from pedestrians in Frederick was the gen-
eral disruption of traffic. Firemen would
stop cars both ways at intersections, then
calmly polish motorists' headlights or radia-
tor ornaments while horns registered a
bedlam of impatient exasperation.

It should be pointed out here that
whereas these many conventions down
through the years have been highlighted
by parades, tournaments, contests, and
pranks, each convention has had its serious
business sessions. These sessions disposed
of many matters which sooner or later were
to have far-reaching effects on the Mary-

1893. SEVENTY-FIFTH ANNIVERSARY

Independent Hose Company, No. I, Frederick, Maryland, issued the above pictured invitation to celebrate
their 75th Anniversary.

land fire service. Legislation was fostered to
provide for fire inspections, standardize
hose and hydrant threads, and to increase
the monies available for injury claims and
pensions. The organization of many new
fire companies has been encouraged
throughout the state until now there are
well over 200 member companies in the
State organization. These companies em-
brace a membership of more than 20,000
firemen.

Of special interest to the University of
Maryland was an event of the 1929 con-
vention at Lonaconing. Toward the end of
the last business session, on June 14th,
Chief Jesse Fisher, of the Annapolis Fire
Department suggested the establishment of
a committee to explore the possibility of
"Fire College" training for Maryland fire-
men. Chief Fisher put the suggestion in
the form of a motion. The motion was
passed and Chief Fisher became chairman
of the new "Special Fire College Commit-
tee" appointed by President V. A. Simmel.
This was an historic move.

At College Park

The foundation work of this committee
was adequate to insure establishment in
the following year of an "Annual Short
Course for Firemen" at the University and
resulted in the further establishment of the
Fire extension Service of the University of
Maryland. In succeeding years, the fine
training available at College Park, and
through the University's extension service
elsewhere in the State, has proved of im-
mense value to Maryland firemen and to
property owners.

The great fire training building which
was dedicated September 28th, 1946, is an
outgrowth of the fire college activity. It is
outstanding in the nation.

A rather recent development in the
Maryland State Firemen's Association was
the creation and encouragement of the His-

torical and Archives Committee. This com-
mittee has been charged with the duty of
collecting and preserving records and ob-
jects which have historical interest for
Maryland firemen and the public at large.
It already has discovered and acquired some
valuable hand operated pumpers, one of
which is 92 years old. It is planned that
some day these and other historic relics
will be suitably enshrined in a permanent
museum building. The building will be a
memorial to the many brave firemen who
have served their country in peace as well
as in war.

Orea'i Progress

Progress toward present day fire-fighting
standards in Maryland has made great
strides since the days of battling rivals. A
modern fire company, when struggling with
a fire that taxes its best efforts, is grateful
for aid from other fire fighters. Those who
lend a helping hand are proud to be of
service. What competitive spirit exists is
devoted to excelling in efficient techniques
— to doing the best possible job of ex-
tinguishment, with minimum damage by
water.

The trained efficiency of today's firefight-
ers, their feeling of brotherhood one toward
another, and their assurance of financial
aid for themselves and their families in
event of misfortune while on duty — all em-
phasize the same value of their state or-
ganization, The Maryland State Firemen's
Association.

The President of the Association, Mr. W.
Bartgis Storm, of Frederick, expressed the
Association's appreciation and gratitude to
the State and the University as follows,

"LILY OF THE SWAMP"

This engine, built by Clapp and Jones, Hudson, N. Y., was exhibited at the Philadelphia International Expo-
sition in 1876, where it assisted in securing tor the makers the award in the class ot piston steam fire engines.

The engine was purchased in 1878 by the United Fire Engine Company, No. 3, ot Frederick, Maryland, where
it was used continuously to 1912. The engine has been the source of great pride to the members of the United
Company and the citizens of Frederick, to all of whom it is affectionately known as the ' ' Li'y of the Swamp."

Now in the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D. C, as a gift from United Steam Fire Engine Company
of Frederick, Maryland.

W. BARTGIS STORM

President, Maryland State Firemen's Association

"As President of the Maryland State Fire-
men's Association it gives me great pleas-
ure to extend the cordial greetings of the
\ssociation and to congratulate the firemen
of Maryland upon having for their benefit
the use of the Fire Service Extension Build-
ing at the University of Maryland.

"I extend the thanks and appreciation
of the firemen of Maryland to the men of
broad vision who made this project possible.

"Let us look upon the Fire Service Ex-
tension Building as a monument to the
leadership of Maryland in protecting the
lives and property of its citizens.

"Generations to come will reap the bene-
fits of the far sighted policy that made the
Fire Service Building a reality."

"UN" INSPECTS

An international subcommittee of the
United Nations Food and Agricultural Or-
ganization, working on the problem of co-
ordinating world food supplies, visited the
University of Maryland and loured a half
dozen Montgomery county farms recently.

Sir John Orr, of Great Britain, was
chairman of the nineteen-nation panel. Its
members, together with aides and represen-
tatives of various agricultural organizations,
made up a parly of a hundred for the tour.

After greetings by Dr. H. C. Byrd, presi-
dent, the places visited included the dairy
barn, artificial breeding laboratories, live-
stock barns and the university farm.

In order to see a model beef operation,
the group went to ihe three-generation
farm at Olney. Md., of T. A. liarnsley,
Montgomery county AAA chairman.

Dairy operations were inspected at the
farms of Allie Mcssei , near Gaithersburg,
and Edwin C. Fry, near Laytonsville.

A new erosion-control project was the
main interest at the farm of Drew Pearson,
near the Potomac. A farm pond project
on the farm of W. ('.. Hanson, near Gaith-
ersburg, was also on the tour.

UNIVERSITY HISTORY

In 1920, by Act of the Legislature of the
State of Maryland, the present University
of Maryland was established by the merg-
ing of the Maryland State College, College
Park, and the University of Maryland at
Ba'timore, forming the strong institution
*>ov known as the University of Maryland.

In 1807 the College of Medicine of Mary-
land, Baltimore, fifth oldest in the country,
and the progenitor of the University of
Maryland, was organized. Its beginning
marked not only a great step in the history
of the State, but also one well in keeping
with the vast progress of the nation in edu-
cation. The first class graduated in 1810.
The Baltimore Infirmary (now the Univer-
sity Hospital) and the School of Law,
fourth in the United States were built in
1823. The Department of Dentistry was
added in 1882, and the School of Nursing
in 1889.

In 1904, the Maryland College of Phar-
macy (1841), third in the United States,
was merged with the University of Mary-
land in 1923, the Baltimore College of Den-
tal Surgery (1840 — the oldest dental school
in the world) was amalgamated with the
School of Dentistry, University of Mary-
land.

The year witnessed the chartering of the
Maryland Agriculture College here at Col-
lege Park, second agricultural college in the
Western Hemisphere, and the first College
building was completed in 1859 on the
farm purchased for that purpose from
Charles B. Calvert. The same year college
work was organized and begun.

In 1862 the Congress of United States
passed the Land Grant Act. This Act
granted each State and Territory that
should claim its benefits a proportionate
amount of the unclaimed western lands, in
place of script, the proceeds from the sale
of which should apply under certain condi-
tions to the "Endowment, support, and
maintenance of at least one college where
the leading object shall be, without exclud-
ing other scientific and classical studies, and
including military tactics, to teach such
branches of learning as are related to agri-
culture and the mechanic arts, in such a
manner as the Legislatures of the States
may respectively perscribe, in order to pro-
mote liberal and practical education of the
industrial classes in the several pursuits
and professions of line." This grant was
accepted by the General Assembly of Mary-
land, and the Maryland Agriculture Col-
lege was named as the beneficiary of this
grant. Thus the College became, at least
in part, a State institution.

The private stockholders in the institu-
tion generously surrendered their holdings
to the State in 1914, and the State finally
came into the full legal ownership of the
entire College plant. In 1916 a new Char-
ter was granted by the General Assembly
and the name was changed from the Mary-
land Agriculture College to the Maryland
State College of Agriculture.

ARTIFICIAL BREEDING

Although organized in December 1945,
reports at the recent annual meeting held
at the University of Maryland, College

Park, showed that the Maryland Artificial
Breeding Cooperative now has 800 mem-
bers and 12,000 cows included in its opera-
tion.

In welcoming the dairymen to the meet-
ing, Dr. T. B. Symons, Dean and Director
of the Extension Service, termed the move-
ment one of the most important from the
standpoint of efficiency, especially of the
dairymen with smaller herds. He predicted
that efficiency of operation will determine
in coming years the ability to stay in
business as the present high prices will not
continue indefinitely.

The present membership of the artifi-
cial breeding association is distributed
among nine Maryland counties. Baltimore
county has 105 members, CaTroll 92, Fred-
erick 82, Harford 88, Howard 78, Montgom-
ery 70, Queen Anne 77, Talbot 101, and
Washington 85.

The Guernsey breed leads in number of
cows entered for artificial breeding with
5,421 followed closely by Holsteins with
5,115. Ayrshires have 1,051 and Jerseys 707.

Members elected to the board of direc-
tors to represent the several counties were
Baltimore, J. Frank Lupo; Carroll, R. L.
Royer; Frederick, Walter J. Hahn and
Howard U. Quinn; Harford, Dr. Herbert
H. Hoopes; Howard, William F. Powel;
Montgomery, Basil Mobley and Edwin D.
Fry; Queen Anne, L. A. Andrus; Talbot,
Percy J. Shortall; Washington, Dr. Thomas
B. Powell.

Members representing the breeds of dairy
cattle are: Ayrshire, Scott W. Swarts;
Guernsey, J. Herbert Snyder; Holstein, J.
Homer Remsberg; Jersey, John Stiles.

A MARYLAND alumnus, a member of
the Rolling Road Country Club, was
a dyed-in-the-wool, all-American, wired for
sound, in technicolor and in spades yet,
golfer. (Hoof and mouth disease. Hoof all
day and mouth about it all night). So he
spent his Sundays on the links and never
went to church and when he died he didn't
report "up there." He checked in down
stairs. At the gate old Mephistopheles met
him with a satanic grin and handed him
a wrought leather golf bag containing all
the best made clubs in the world, his ini-
tials in metallic letters on the bag.

"Is this for me?", asked the golfer, "I'm
not supposed to go to heaven?"

"You're not in heaven," replied the Evil
One, "We've been expecting you for years.
That isn't all. Here's your caddy. He knows
all the answers to all the golf questions for
generations." A smiling little imp appeared
and took the bag.

"Now," said McPhisto, "take a look at

It was Easter Sunday morning in Brook-

just attended services up on "the heights"
where Brooklyn clings to the past that
was Brooklyn in days of yore. Mr.
Binny decided he'd take a stroll. In top
hat, cane and cutaway coat he strolled
too far away from "the heights." He

strolled past the Navy Y. M. C. A. hard
by the Navy yard gate. A group of U. S.
tars were seated, birdlike, on the rail be-
fore the "Y", getting a bit of Old Sol.
As Mr. Binny went by suddenly, direct
hit, his hat rolled in the gutter, smacked
off by an accurately tossed snow ball.
Mustering full dignity Mr. Binny re-
trieved the hat, strolled back to the line
of gobs all in a row of innocence.

"Young man," asked Mr. Binney, ad-
dressing one of the salts, "what is the
name of this institution?"

Replied the gob, "It is the Young
Men's Christian Association."

Retorted Mr. Binney, "It's a heluva
success, isn't it?"

Little Billy Arthur, the short

about the fellow who went to

5 pm, he polished the gates.
He got tired of it and asked
St. Pete for a change. He was
assigned to polishing the gold-
en stairs. After a month of
that he asked for leave. It was
granted.

He took the elevator and
went down to visit the other
place to find it crowded with
guys playing cards, smoking
cigars, drinking highballs,

During prohibition two Milwaukee
squareheads who knew all about how to
make home brew beer but knew nothing
about hard liquor, were playing pinochle.
1 hey ran out of beer and sent to the neigh-
borhood bootlegger for some hard stuff. It
hit them hard and they became muzzy.

Some fellows tell their girls, before they

wards, Bob Keenc, Vic Turyn and Bil"
Poling. He also has Don Schucrholz, classy
guard, who played for him prior to the
war. Tommy Mont, who like Turyn and
Poling, played football, may play. Mont
was the second highest scorer on a fine
1942 quint.

TERPS TRIM GENERALS

At Baltimore Municipal Stadium before
a disappointingly small crowd Maryland's
Terrapins took the measure of Washington
and Lee's griddcrs, 24 to 7.

The game reached a new high for penal-
ties with Maryland the angora for 110
yards in 00 minutes of play. The officials
were handing 'em out faster than Carter
turns out liver pills. One penalty that set
the Terps back what looked like from
Salisbury to Westeinport came when a W&L
lad bopped Vic Turyn in the face. Easy
going, good natured Vic retaliated with a
wallop that had the boxing coaches asking,
•What's his weight?" The officials only
( aught the last "round'' and Vic caught the
bench with his hand over the cchymosis the
W&L fellow had hung there as Exhibit "A."

The Terps showed a snappy display of
the 1 formation, the Generals using the
same st\le. A pass, Turyn to Masscy, scored
(i for Maryland in the first quarter. The
second one came in the second frame when
Tommy Mont hit LaRoy Morter with a
perfect strike.

Between halves the Generals mapped
i heir plans and planned their maps. They
came out full of wim, wigor and witality
and for a while it looked as though Mary-
land might take another dose of quinine.

TURBLE TERP

Still banging them out for the New York
Yankees, starring at bat and in the outer garden
and setting a terrific pace in the annual National
League versus American League game, is Charley
Keller, of Middletown, Md., a baseball product
of the University of Maryland, B.S. Agriculture, '38.

After W&L had blocked Mont's kick,
Working tossed a touchdown pass to Bell.
The kick was good and W&L had 7 points
to Maryland's 12.

Again the Generals moved down the field.
Penalties, long passes and long runs soon
had the Terps with their backs to the goal
line. Harrington, for W&L heaved a beauty
to Bell. It looked like it would ring that
Bell for another touchdown but Tommy
Mont came from nowhere around behind
Bell on a dead run, grabbed that thing
and, with only one block needed to make
it all coppasetti went the full length of the
field for a touchdown.

Another score came in the fourth quarter
when Mont kept on feeding the ball to
Lucian Gambino, who played a wonderful
game all after noon. Gambino tore off the
yardage with every try and on the final one
went over for a touchdown.

None of the Terrapins' attempts to con-
vert were good. It was one of those rough
and tumble games in which anything was
liable to happen and did. The crowd that
stayed away in droves and seasoned the vast
stadium with deafening bursts of silence
missed a whale of a fine ball game. Mary-
land had to be the better club by far to
achieve their victory.

Maryland's superiority was shown in the
statistics, 12 Maryland first downs to 5, 352
yards gained to 165. 10 out of 13 passes
completed against 9 out of 21 for the Gen-
erals and don't forget those penalties.

GIRL ARCHERS

Twelve girl students from Maryland Uni-
versity staged an archery exhibition as an
added attraction to a prize turkey shoot at
Lanham. About 200 spectators attended.

MICHIGAN WINS

Before 17,000 shivering fans in zero
weather at East Lansing, Michigan, Mary-
land lost to Michigan State, 26-14.

Michigan rolled 87 and 85 yards in two
tremendous scoring drives and took ad-
vantage of Maryland fumbles for two scor-
ing bursts inside the Maryland 25-yard line.

While the two fumbles by Tommy Mont
and Bill Poling were disastrous to the
Maryland cause, these two also starred for
Maryland, as did Leroy Morter.

Mont was good offensively, with the aid
of Morter's smart pass receiving. Trailing,
14-0. midway in the second period, Mont
floated a pass toward Morter which was de-
flected into his hands by Russ Reader of
the Spartans. From the Michigan State 29,
Mont dropped far back and pitched a per-
fect aerial crossfield to Morter, who took
the ball on the 2 and stepped over for the
score. Mont added the points from place-
ment after both touchdowns.

Coach Shaughnessy stuck to Vic Turyn
as his quarterback in the first and third
periods and through part of the fourth, but
with Mont back in there late in the game,
Maryland scored again, with Mont's two
first-down sneaks setting it up.

Three times Red Poling saved Maryland
from losing the ball deep in its own terri-
tory. On the fourth down and back in punt
formation, he grabbed three high passes
from center and managed to get the punts
away for 40-yard averages.

IN PHILADELPHIA

Dr. H. C. Byrd. University of Maryland
president, was the principal guest at a
dinner honoring the Temple University
football team in Philadelphia.

Dr. Byrd addressed the Quarterback
Club, a Temple alumni group, which
awarded trophies to the outstanding back
and lineman of this year's Temple squad.

BOLD KNIGHTS

Salty: "In the old days did the knights really

Sweetie: "Some of the married ones did."

RING WEIGHTS CHANGED

Dr. Carl P. Schott, Dean of the School of
Physical Education and Athletics, Pennsyl-
vania State College, Chairman of the Na-
tional Collegiate Athletic Association's
Boxing Rules Committee, announced
changes upward in the bantam and feather-
weight divisions of college boxing, effective
immediately.

The new bantamweight limit moves up
to 125 pounds. The featherweight limit
will hereafter be 130 pounds.

"This change was made," said Dr. Schott,
because there were not enough available
boys who could make the lower weights and
those that did subjected themselves to too
much dehydration."

College boxing long ago abandoned the
112 pound flyweight class due to lack of
these little fellows. The bantam weight
division in college boxing previously moved
up from 118 to 120. While the feather-
weight division moved from 126 to 127.

Recommendations have been made by
some college boxing authorities to institute
an additional 150 pound class. War De-
partment, Public Health and Collegiate
statistics prove that the greatest number of
young Americans are in the 140-149 pound
bracket.

It has also been recommended that a
class between 175 and the true 200 pound
heavyweights be established to bring about
weight equality in contests between heavier
men.

The collegiate boxing weights now are
125, 130, 135, 145, 155, 165, 175 and heavy-
weight.

REPRINTED lure is the hopes that it will
inspire current Maryland athletes, is
the picture of Maryland's first Southern
Conference Boxing Championship team.

Alumni of circa 1937 like to recall this
group of knuckle dusters as " 1 he Dream
Team." It was no dream team. Just a
group of willing, able, intelligent students
who had, for the first time in Maryland
ring history, mastered the art of on balance
counter punching. These kids could belt,
but intelligently'.

Opened Fast

They opened the season against Western
Maryland and won. 6 to 2. That was the
night that Tony Orten7i, Eastern Inter-
collegiate Champion and a great athlete
fiom Western Maryland, was sent in against
Lancelot Jacques, the last guy on the cam-
pus you'd take for a boxer. This was at
175. Ortcnzi moved in, weaving and bob-
bing a la Dempsey. I he first left hook
he let drive was a bit too wide. Jacques
blocked it. stepped inside and crashed home
with a short right cross. Ortenzi's green
and gold panties sat in the resin.

Similarly Bob Walton, in his first year,
faced Mom Caplin, Virginia's 165 pound
champion and a mighty good boy. For

two and tlTce-qnarter rounds Mortv was
away ahead <>n points. But Bob was a
counter puncher and kept tr\ing. Jusi
when it looked like a sure decision for the
Cavalier Morty made the mistake of hook-
ing too widely. Walton moved inside,
nailed him and, as Morty wobbled on the
ropes, helpless, Virginia tossed in the towel.
In his first year on the team Walton had
learned to counterpunch correctly. That
carries a lot of authority.

With the exception of the opening meet
of the season Maryland had no heavyweight.
The crucial part of the season, saw them
in there with a seven-man team, one down
before the bell ever rang. It was no dream
team, believe us.

The team's little fellow was Eddie Shego-
gue, a pretty good fighter, too light and
fiail for tough competition. But it took
good men to beat him and he won twice as
often as he lost.

The 127-pound bracket was held down
by Tom Birmingham, for three years
theretofore a powder puff hitter. He too
learned to block or duck and move in with
his weight wl: n ihc other fellow's weight
WAS COMI'C TOWARD h'm! lint's
counterpunch ing. When Birmingham flat-
tened his first opponent in 1937 he thought

some bleacher ally had pitched a ketchup
bottle. Tom couldn't believe he did that.
But he scored eight more kayoes that sea-
son to make it a total of nine. He was
rather a great right hand puncher and a
top rung boxer. No one beat him until
Callie Eckstrom, of South Dakota, edged
him out with a split decision in the na-
tionals at Sacramento. C'.al. Eckstrom won
the national title that year and his win
over Birmingham could have gone either
way. It was THAT close.

A Great Boxer

The 135-pounder was Benny Alperstein.
still recalled by many coaches as the ideal
collegiate ringman. Benny lost one close
bout in 1937, in the Southern Conference
Tournament, to Jack Kneipp. of Duke. But
he won all the rest and went on to the
Nationals at Sacramento to bring home
Maryland's first national ring title. His
toughest opponent, an overwhelming favor-
ite, was a theretofore unbeaten Washington
State lad named Bobby Bennett. A very
good fighter, Bennett made the fatal mis-
take of trving to measure off a southpaw,
Alperstein. with a left hook. Benny side-
stepped the punch, nailed Bennett with a
smashng right to the body and a convinc-
ing left hook on the chin. Bennett went

so rang a bell.''

down, barely beat the count, and was sugar
for the bird from then on in.

Recall Ivan Nedomatsky, the "Truculent
Terp," the "Terrible Terp," "Ivan the
Terrible," "The Patent Leather Kid."
That's what the newsmen named this grade
A hooker. Three times he won Southern
Conference titles. He dropped them where
they stood. Ivan's chief stock in trade was
a double left hook, the old "inverted 3," a
smash to the body, looped over to the chin.
In the Conference finals Duke tossed in a
great fighter, Danny Farrar, a southpaw.
It was a horrendous melee. Farrar got to
our boy Nedo right smartly. But then he
missed a left hook and, to miss with Nedo,
was shadow boxing with the door knob
on the infirmary. A smashing right crashed
against Farrar's chin, the double left hook
belted him in the short ribs and looped
over to the chin. Danny stood on his head,
barely beat the count and took a bad
shellacing from there on home.

At 155 Maryland had a grand journey-
man boxer and a great "team player" in
Mike Lombardo. Mike won no titles but
it took champions to nose him out by very
close decisions. Some of them entirely too
close if you get what we mean!

At 165 Maryland had Alexander Males.
Good old Aleck, in his first year, was also
a team man. When in the Southern Con-
ference Tournament, Maryland had no
heavy, Aleck fattened up to 176 and went
on in there. He won in the semi-finals.
That was three points and Maryland nosed
out the powerful Duke squad by only three
points.

Remember Gormley?

At 175, in the Conference Tournament.
Maryland had game Johnny Gormley, a
great team player and all around athlete.
Johnny won in the semi-finals on sheer
guts and a broken left hand. He pitched
the injured maulie, gritting his teeth to
mask the pain. The win gave us three
points. It was either Johnny's three points
or Males' three that came hard and Mary-
land won by only three.

Over the season it was Western Mary-
land, 6 to 2; Richmond, 8 to 0; and four
more bouts that did not count to make it
12 wins to 0; North Carolina, 5 to 3;
V.M.I. , 7 to 1; Virginia, 5 to 3 (Maryland
scored five straight kayoes that night in
Charlottesville); Rutgers, 514 to 2i/ 2 '< Catho-

lic University, always tough, but spotted
one bout by forfeit and with one extremely
close decision got away with a 4 to 4 draw.

It was no dream team, but any boxing
coach in the country would like to have
'em. We mean any time.

In the Southern Conference Tournament,
held at College Park, Maryland topped
teams from Duke, North Carolina. North
Carolina State, South Carolina, Clemson,
Citadel and Virginia Tech.

1937 was Heinie Miller's first year as
Coach at Maryland. On balance counter
punching was something new in college
boxing. Attention to instructions can do
the trick again. Miller insists, 'There is no
secret to correct hitting. It wins bouts.
Anybody can learn to hit convincingly —
anvbody." Bob Walton, Tom Birmingham.
Benny Alperstein, Lanny Jacques would
agree.

GAMECOCKS CROW

The 21 to 17 loss sustained by Maryland
to South Carolina on Homecoming Day
was a tough one to lose. Maryland had
that one bound, roped, tied, sealed and
delivered and on the buckboard for Col-
lege Park. But you can't take it away from
Carolina either, a team that in the dying
minutes of play, gambled the ball on a long
pass that picked up the marbles. The pay-
off comes only on the score board but just
the same it was a real heart breaker. The
win put South Carolina on top in the
Southern Conference with four wins and
no conference losses and one loss only to
Alabama.

It was in the final 10 seconds of the
contest that South Carolina wrung victory
fiom the afternoon, but only after Mary-
land had staged a gallant comeback to
overcome a 14-0 lead the Gamecocks carried
into the third period. The Gamecocks did
it on the pitching of Harold Hagan and
the catching of Whitey Jones, who on three
plays in the fading seconds of the game
moved the Gamecocks 61 yards to paydirt.

Risking everything on a fourth down pass
with 18 yards to go for first down, Quarter-
back Hagan whipped a pass to Halfback
Jones that clicked for 31 yards to the Terp
30 and led to disaster for Maryland. Two
plays later Hagan lofted another pass to
Jones who took the ball on the Terps' 2
and fell over the goal line. That ended the
game.

Fourteen-point favorites, the Gamecocks
amassed a 14-0 lead in the first half, didn't
permit Maryland to penetrate their terri-
tory and seemed headed for an easy
triumph. The game was only a few min-
utes old when Carolina shook loose around
left end on a reverse and went 69 yards to
Maryland's 1, and on the next play rammed
over to score.

South Carolina's second touchdown came
as an intercepted pass in the second period.
Three plays later a faked pass around left
end put the oval on Maryland's 2. Three
line plunges put it over. Both conversions
were good.

Maryland displayed a complete form re-
versal in the third period.

Bob Crosland recovered Earl Dunham's
fumble for Maryland on South Carolina's
13. Turyn unleashed an 11 -yard pass to
End LaRoy Morter, then smashed within
inches of Carolina's goal on a quarterback

sneak. Burly Harry Bonk, who played
brilliant football all afternoon, drove over
left griard to score and Tommy Mont con-
verted, slicing the Gamecocks' advantage to
14-7.

A few moments later Maryland clicked
on a 48-yard pass play, with Turyn tossing
to Morter, who took the ball in stride over
his shoulder on the 20 and romped over.
Again Mont converted to lock the score.

Tommy Mont apparently was headed for
a hero's role when he intercepted a Hagan
toss late in the third period, for Marvland
followed through by moving 40 yards to
South Ca rolina's 20 as the period ended.

On the first play of the fourth period
Mont pumped a field goal through the up-
rights from 20 yards out, from a difficult
angle, to present Maryland a 17-14 lead.

Poling, who punted out of bounds inside
South Carolina's 1, and Mont, who booted
another outside on the Gamecocks' 9, hand-
cuffed S. C. until the Gamecocks wrested
the game from Maryland's grasp with those
two long passes.

End Pat McCarthy, 180-pound product of
St. John's College, was a Maryland defen-
sive standout, spending a large portion
of the afternoon in South Carolina's back-
field.

THAT'LL BE ABOUT ALL

The 1946 football curtain came down on
Maryland's disappointing football season
when the North Carolina State Wolfpack
used all it had to trim the Terps, 28 to 7 at
Raleigh. Turner made three of State's
touchdowns and Richkus the other. Turner
was the whole show.

The thrill of the game came when Ver-
non Seibert ran back a State punt for 45
yards, breaking through tackles and scor-
ing the Terp's lone tally.

The Wolfpack walked off the field hoping
for a Bowl bid. The Terps headed North
mumbling, as the man says, "Well, next
year's another year."

RACQUET QUEEN

Blond, curly-haired, willowy, Louise "Bit-

has swung her tennis racquet far and wide
since she began playing in competition in
her home town, Glen Ridge, New Jersey,
at the age of 16.

"Bitsy," a sophomore majoring in physi-
cal education, was forced to abandon ten-
nis during most of her two and a half
years as a WAVE. With the coming of
peace she again swung to the top. Last
year the amazing "Bitsy" captured the
WAVE Tennis Championship and the All
Service Doubles and Singles Tennis Cham-
pionships, the latter under the colors of
the Potomac River Naval Command against
competitors from many states in the union.

Some of "Bitsy's" other major accomplish-
ments during the past year include being
runner-up in the Georgia State champion-
ship (she started college at the University
of Georgia), and as a member of the Sears
Cup Team, she captured sixth place in the
Middle Atlantic States Championship.

BOXING SCHEDULE

University of Maryland has listed a
rugged schedule of eight dual boxing meets
in a ring campaign that opens at College
Park on December 19th when the truculent
1 erps face their traditional fistic rivals, the
University of Virginia. Five of Maryland's
eight matches will take place at College

There is a possibility that the Southern
Conference Tournament may be resumed
this vear but decision in that premise will
not be made until the Conference elders
convene in December.

The National Intercollegiate Boxing
Tournament will take place at the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin. Madison. Wis., March
27, 28, 29.

The participation of Maryland boxers in
either of the two tournaments will depend
upon Maryland's showing in the eight dual
meets scheduled.

Maryland's ring men got off to a tough
break before the season ever started by los-
ing Ken Malone, the Terps 175-pound
anchor man. Ken pulled up requiring an
operation for the removal of a cist. He
may be out for the season. Nicholas Kozay
and Arnold Gibbs. both freshmen, will try
for Malone's berth. Kozay has done some
Boys Club boxing, while Gibbs boxed for
Charlotte Hall.

Tommy Maloney, 145-pound team cap-
tain last year, will step for his third year
at Maryland. Ed Rieder, former Maryland
sharpshooter who is back from the Aran
looks good at 155. Davey Lewis and Jose
Carro, 125-pounders from last year returned
to the team and a newcomer among the
little fellows is Danny McLaughlin, former
Boys Club boxer from Washington who
recently was discharged from the Coast
Guard.

A good looking prospect is Bob Gregson,
former Army middleweight, who did some
boxing while in khaki. Sid Sterman is also
trying for this class.

In the lighter-brackets the Terps also
have Al Salkowski, star of North Carolina's
pre-flight team, Danny Smith, a newcomer
from the Baltimore "Y" and Andy Quat-
trocchi. a former Navy Corpsman who
served with the Marines and was recently
discharged from Camp Lejeune.

"We clo not have a soft touch on our
whole schedule." commented boxing coach
Heinie Miller, adding, "returning service
boxers should strengthen all teams. In nor-
mal pre-war years I would have said that
we have a pretty good team lined up."

Missing from this year's Maryland squad
will be Jose Fossas, sensational Puerto
Rican featherweight. Phillips Rogers,
rugged lightweight, Sammy Landau and
Ray Richards. Fossas is attending the Uni-
versity of Puerto Rico, while Rogers, Lan-

SPEAKS ON BOXING

With boxing as his subject Colonel Har-
vey L. Miller, Maryland's head boxing
coach, recently addressed the Touchdown
Club of Washington.

Miller also spoke at a luncheon of the
Cosmopolitan Club at the Carleton Hotel,
Washington.

CLARK SHAUGHNESSY

Anent newspaper critics and second
guessers regarding Football Coach Clark
Shaughnessy the reaction among Maryland
players who expect to be in the Terrapin
line-up next year is largely that they want
Shaughnessy back to lead them.

Although Maryland lost six games to
three won the players believe Shaughnessy
is a great coach. They point out that one
of Maryland's losses, against South Caro-
lina, was simply tough luck crowning a
winning effort. "They believe Shaughnessy
should have been with them earlier in
the year and that more forcefulness should
have been exerted in welding the avail-
able players into one team rather than two
alternate line-ups.

The\ believe full time line and end
coaches would have helped and that the
injuries to Hubie Werner and Sammy Bchr
and the ineligibility of Bob Troll cost
heavily. The return of these three backs
next year should pay off, the players insist,
with the addition of 240 pound tackle
Clarence Whipp, ineligible this year.

Graduation will take Tommy Mont, Bob
James, Ed Chovannes, Emil Fritz and Red
Wright. Several others will not be back.

Jjy. S. S. Steinberg.

Dean, College of Engineering, University of
Maryland.

THE engineering profession has through-
out the years broadened in scope with
the progress of science and invention. The
oldest branch of the profession is Civil
Engineering; the newest is Aeronautical
Engineering. This article discusses a happy
blending of the old and the new in the
application of the airplane to surveying,
which had its origin among the ancient
Egyptians, due to the destruction of their
landmarks by the annual inundations of the
River Nile.

Pictures From The Air

While it has always been man's ambi-
tion to view the world from the air as does
the eagle, the modern engineer has found in
human flight the opportunity to survey and
map large areas of the earth's surface at
great savings in time and cost. The value
of pictures from the air was first appreci-
ated and investigated by European engi-

neers in the latter part of the nineteenth
century. Early experiments were made by
using kites and balloons. The introduction
of the dirigible stimulated these attempts,
and finally the development of the air
plane made apparent the great advantage
of its use as an aid to surveying and map-
ping. This advancement in engineering
grew out of World War I when it was
extensively used for military purposes. Dur-
ing World War II, practically no military
operations were undertaken without pre-
viously securing aerial photographs. These
included not only photographs of enemy
terrain but also of other activities for in-
telligence studies.

Aerial surveying has been used as an
aid to the map-maker in supplying certain
kinds of detail much more faithfully than
a surveyor could sketch them even by cover-
ing the terrain very closely. It is pre-
eminently useful in surveying difficult and
inaccessible country. The U. S. Coast and
Geodetic Survey has used aerial surveying
extensively, in conjunction with its ground
control, in mapping low-lying swamps and
coastal areas.

Accuracy Imperative

The inherent characteristic of an air map
is accuracy. No accurate mapping today is
done without the use of aerial photographs
as basic source material. Combined with

MARYLAND TERRAIN AS SEEN FROM THE AIR

This typical aerial mapping photograph shows a portion of Frederick County, Maryland, from an

elevation of 13,000 feet.

DEAN STEINBERG

It has always been man's ambition to view the
world from the air, as does the eagle!"

the vivid and complete detail of the ordi-
nary photograph is the record of true rela-
tions among the features on the ground.
Houses, cultivated fields, fence lines and
wooded areas are all shown in their proper
proportion. An air map is a permanent and
complete record, as the camera's eye misses
nothing.

An aerial photograph is not a map, but
a perspective view in which directions and
distances may be somewhat distorted. A
photograph of absolutely level ground
taken with the axis of the camera truly
vertical approaches a map in accuracy. If
there is any appreciable relief in the
ground or appreciable tilt in the camera,
the images on the photographs are dis-
played from their true position. However,
the photographs are still usable and bv
employing certain graphic and instrumental
methods map construction can be expedited
tremendously.

Successful flying over an area for the pur-
pose of mapping calls for skill on the part
of the pilot and a thorough knowledge of
the use and care of the camera on the part
of the photographer, with fine teamwork
between the two. Experienced airplane
pilots consider air mapping the most diffi-
cult kind of flying. Traveling at a speed
of 100 or more miles an hour in the thin
cold air at high altitudes, with eyes con-
centrated on the instrument panel to main-
tain a straight course, with wings level, is
a constant strain on the pilot.

Two To Three Miles

Most of the flying is done at altitudes as
high as two or three miles above the
ground. Below 7,000 to 8,000 feet the air
currents are full of gusts and bumps which
render the results unsatisfactory, while at

OVER THE CAMPUS

altitudes as low as 3.000 to 4.000 feet accur-
ate air mapping is quite impossible.

As the plane ascends, the temperature of
the air drops rapidly, on the average about
one degree for each 300 feet of ascent. At
altitudes of 15.000 to 20,000 feet, at which
most of the flying for mapping is done,
the air is piercingly cold even in mid-
summer, being 50 to 60 degrees lower than
on the ground. For flying above 12,000
to 15,000 feet, oxygen is generally used by
the pilot and photographer. Aerial photo-
graphs have been taken from altitudes as
high as seven miles.

A Guide Map

With a given mapping project in view,
a guide map is prepared with flight lines
on it to enable the pilot of the plane to
cover completely the area to be mapped.
By comparing the objects on the guide map
with those on the ground the pilot is able
to flv in straight parallel courses back and
forth. Accurate aerial surveying requires
an airplane that is reliable, sturdy and
powerful, one that is capable of sustained
flight at all altitudes, that can rise and
descend in small fields, that can fly true to
line and that is economical of fuel. The
altitude at which the plane should fly in
order that the photographs may be made
at a predetermined scale is dependent on
the general elevation of the country and
the focal length of the camera lens. Prac-
ticallv cloudless weather is necessary to se-
cure good aerial mapping photographs. In
most of the United States only one day in
seven can. on the average, be depended
upon for such work.

While the first aerial photographs were
taken with a single lens camera, the U. S.
(.cological Survey designed and constructed,
in cooperation with the National Research
Council, the first experimental three-lens
camera which permitted taking vertical
photographs from the air. each exposure
df which covered a wide area along the line
of flight. The next development was a

four-lens camera by U. S. Army engineers,
which was followed by a five-lens camera.
The five-lens camera is constructed with
the axis of the central lens pointing ver-
tically downward with the four other lenses
grouped symmetrically about the central
lens and at constant angles from the axis
of the lens. After the oblique photographs
taken by the four side lenses are trans-
formed to horizontal planes and assembled
with the central photograph, the result is
a composite picture shaped like a maltese
cross. This camera is designed exclusively
for small-scale mapping and permits cover-
ing an extremely large area in a single ex-
posure. For example, a flight at 18,000
feet altitude results in covering a strip 18
miles wide. A nine-lens camera has been
developed by the U. S. Coast and Geodetic
Survey and is used extensively by them.

Trimetriqon Mapping

What is known as "trimetrigon" mapping
consists of joining together three single lens
cameras, one pointed vertically downward
and the others diagonally to right and left.
Photographs are taken simultaneously on
all three. This three-camera combination
is valuable for reconnaissance mapping.
particularly of large previously unmapped
areas such as those in Alaska and in South
America.

Practically all accurate large scale map-
ping is based on single lens photographs. A
typical single lens aerial mapping camera is
of rigid all-metal construction and points
straight downward through a special open-
ing in the bottom of the plane. It is so
suspended in a gimbal mount as to per-
mit the optical axis being kept vertical,
regardless of the oscillations of the airplane.
It is not a motion-picture camera, but takes
still pictures, usually 7 by 9 inches or 9 by 9
inches in size, at any desired time interval.
It is operated either automatically or by
hand. Generally, successive exposures are
made from 10 to 15 seconds apart. The film
is 75 feet long, sufficient for making 110
exposures. The film holder may be quickly

removed and replaced with another maga-
zine, thus making it possible to sccuie a
very large numl)er of exposures in the
course of one flight. The shutter is capable
of opening and closing in the 150th part of
a second. With its various accessories, the
camera weighs al>out 50 pounds.

The photographer times the successive
exposures so that they overlap each other
like shingles by about GO per cent, in the
direction of flight and about 50 per cent.
sidewise in successive flight. The overlap
makes it possible to use only the central
portion of each photograph, which alone
is in true vertical projection. The over-
lap, moreover, allows stereoscopic studv of
the terrain.

Stereoscopic Vision

One of the most interesting and most
important developments in mapping from
the air is the stereoscopic use of aerial
photography. The interpretation of aerial
photographs is much easier when over-
lapping prints are examined stereoscopi-
cally. The instruments used for this pur-
pose, though much larger and more com-
plicated, are based upon the same principle
as the once familiar parlor stereoscope. This
instrument has the peculiar propertv of
causing the photographic image to l>e
•.ecu in a third dimension, namely, that of
relief, with the hills standing out above
the vallevs. and the houses, trees and other
objects strikingly visible in three dimen-
sions. The practical advantage of stere-
oscopic \ ision to the engineer is that, with
suitable mechanical devices, he is able to
draw from the photographs contour lines,
which are lines of equal elevation and are
of great value in the studv of any proposed
engineering project.

Aerial photographs have been utilized for
many purposes. They have been found of
value in city planning and zoning, in study-
ing highway traffic problems, for irrigation
and water supply projects, for river and
harbor development, flood control, timber
estimates, geological study and tax assess-
ment purposes. Middletown. Connecticut,
was the first municipality to be revalued by
an aerial survey. As a result, nearly 1,900
buildings were discovered which had pre-
viously escaped taxation.

Aids Ground Surveying

The mapping of the United States has
gone forward since the early days of dis-
covery and settlement, and particularly as
a result of the efforts of such government
agencies as the Coast and Geodetic Survey,
during the more than 100 years of its
existence, and the Geological Survey during
the past 65 days. Yet today not more than
25 per cent, of the area of our country is
accurately mapped and probably more than
half of the United States has never been
adequately mapped. At the present rate of
progress it will take almost a century to
(omplete the basic mapping of the United
Mates however, due to the impetus given
nerial mapping during World War II and
the greater appreciation by the public of
the need for accurate maps, it is hoped
that Congress will appropriate the funds
to accomplish this mapping program much
sooner.

While mapping from the air will never
wholly replace ground surveying, it will
serve to expedite the production of maps
so urgently needed for national planning,
public works and the general welfare.

THE COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING

Engineering at Maryland
Dates Back to 1859 and
Has Kept Pace With the
Times . . .

THE History of Engineering at the
University of Maryland dates back to
1859. In the catalogue of that year ap-
peared a listing of a Professor of Survey-
ing, Engineering and Construction. The
University of Maryland branch at College
Park at that time was the Maryland Agri-
cultural College, and the Eederal Land
Grant Act of 1862 provided for the teaching
of engineering at this institution. In the
following year, 1863, there were listed in
the catalogue courses in Surveying Mechan-
ics, Hydraulics and Civil Engineering. In
1892, the University of Maryland began a
formal Department of Engineering and the
first building for engineering instruction
was erected in 1894 to house the Mechanical
Engineering Department. The Department
of Civil Engineering was established in
1900. the Department of Electrical Engi-

neering in 1908 and the Department of
Chemical Engineering in 1937. The Engi-
neering Experiment Station was organized
in 1921.

Served With Dewey

The first "dean" of a University of Mary-
land engineering school was an active U. S.
Naval officer, a distinguished veteran of two
wars who reached an Admiral's rank.

In February, 1894, at the request of
President R. W. Silvester of the Agricul-
tural College, the Secretary of the Navy de-
tailed Lt. John Donaldson Ford, chief en-
gineer of the U. S. Navy, to College Park,
to organize the department of mechanical
engineering. In May, 1895, a two-story
brick building was begun by Lt. Ford, and
completed in October of the same year.
From this beginning, the College of Engi-
neering has grown to its present size.

Lt. Ford, born in 1840 in Baltimore,
graduated from the Maryland Institute,
Baltimore, in 1861, receiving the Peabody
prize. He graduated from the Potts School
of Mechanical Engineering in 1862, and
entered the U. S. Navy in July of that
year. During the Civil War, Lt. Ford took

After completion of his assignment in
July, 1896, as Head of the Department of
Mechanical Engineering here, Lieutenant
Ford was promoted to the rank of Com-
mander and, in the Spanish-American War,
served as Engineer of the Fleet under
Admiral George Dewey during the battle of
Manila Bay. In recognition of his splendid
service at that time, he was awarded the
Dewey Medal, then advanced three num-
bers in rank "for eminent and conspicious
conduct in battle", and was promoted to
Captain. He continued to serve in the
Navy until 1911 when he was commissioned
Rear Admiral and retired. He died at Balti-
more on April 8, 1918.

S. S. Steinberg, Dean

The Glenn L. Martin College of Engi-
neering and Aeronautical Science, Univers-
ity of Maryland, with S. S. Steinberg as
Dean, is the College of Engineering
founded in 1894 and now reorganized and
expanded to include within the college an
Institute for Advanced Technological
Studies. This Institute carries on full-time
research in connection with an organization
known as the State Institute for Industrial
Research, authorized by the State Legisla-
ture to be under the direction of the Board
of Regents of the University, and also will
carry on studies in the various departments
leading to graduate degrees.

The primary purpose of the Glenn L.
Martin College of Engineering is to train
young men to practice the profession of
Engineering. It endeavors at the same time
to equip them for their duties as citizens
and for careers in public service and in
industry.

In training professional engineers it has
become evident that greater emphasis than
heretofore must be placed on the funda-
mentals of mathematics, science and engi-
neering so as to establish a broad profes-
sional base. Experience has also shown the
value of a coordinated group of humanistic-
social studies for engineering students since
their later professional activities are so
closely identified with the public.

THE DEAN DEMONSTRATES

Bridge Stress Determination by Use ot Celluloid Model is Supervised by Dean S. S. Steinberg.

Accordingly, the engineering curriculums
have been revised to increase the time de-
voted to fundamentals and to non-technical
subjects, which are a necessary part of the
equipment of every educated man. It is
well recognized that an engineering train-
ing affords an efficient preparation for
many callings in public and private life
outside the engineering profession.

The length of the normal curriculum in
Glenn L. Martin's College of Engineering
is four years and leads to the bachelor's de-
grees. In the case of most students these
four years give the engineering graduate
the basic and fundamental knowledge
necessary to enter upon the practice of the
profession. Engineering students whose
scholastic records are superior are advised
to supplement their undergraduate pro-
grams by at least one year of graduate
study leading to the master's degree.
Graduate programs will be arranged upon
application to the chairman of the engi-
neering department concerned.

In order to give the new student time to
choose the branch of engineering for which
he is best adapted, the freshman year of
the several curriculums is the same. Lec-
tures and conferences are used to guide the
student in making a proper choice. The
courses differ only slightly in the sophomore
year but in the junior and senior years the
students are directed definitely along pro-
fessional lines.

The Glenn L. Martin College of Engi-
neering includes the Departments of Aero-
nautical, Chemical, Civil, Electrical, and
Mechanical Engineering. Under a large
gift received by the University from the
Glenn L. Martin Company of Baltimore,
supplemented with funds from the State of
Maryland, it is planned to expand the ac-
tivities of the College, to erect a new physi-
cal plant, and to broaden the scope of its
engineering and industrial research.

Research Foundation

The National Sand and Gravel Associa-
tion has, by arrangement with the College

of Engineering, established its testing and
research laboratory at the University. The
purpose of the Research Foundation thus
organized is to make available to the Asso-
ciation additional facilities for its investi-
gational work, and to provide for the Col-
lege of Engineering additional facilities and
opportunities for increasing the scope of its
engineering research. Recently the testing
and research activities of the National
Ready Mixed Concrete Association have
been established at the University under a
similar arrangement.

Glenn L. Martin

The Glenn L. Martin College of Engi-
neering and Aeronautical Sciences at the
University of Maryland was made possible
in December, 1944 when The Glenn L.
Martin Company, Baltimore, Maryland air-

craft manufacturers made an initial gift
ol $1,700 ,000 to the College Park institution.
A second gift, also by the Martin Com-
pany, of S800.000 was presented to the
University about a year later. This made
a total of $2,500,000 given to the University
of Maryland by the Company for the de-
velopment of a college which would offer
specialized instruction in aeronautical
sciences and opportunities for research in
this held.

With a State appropriation of $750,000
for the same purpose; the University has
53,250,000 with which to establish one of
the foremost schools of its kind in the
world.

To take immediate advantage of the
Martin grants, the entire existing engineer-
ing school at the University began opera-
tion, at least in part, under the gifts with
the opening of the Fall semester in 1 946.
The grants will be in complete use with
the beginning of the new school year in
September, 1947 and with the printing of
the University catalogue for that semester,
the engineering school will be known as
The Glenn L. Martin College of Engineer-
ing and Aeronautical Sciences.

Additional Structures

To existing facilities already available at
the University nearly a dozen additional
structures will be erected to house the Col-
lege. As an important part of the Martin
school, an $800,000 wind tunnel is now
nearing completion. When completed
early in 1947 the tunnel will be the first
of the many buildings to be erected on land
for the new college, north of the present
campus. The wind tunnel will be 60 feet
by 166 feet and is patterned after the
tunnel at the North American Aviation
plant in Englewood, California, rated one
of the best in the country.

Adjacent to the wind tunnel will be the
laboratory for the new college. This build-
ing will be 40 feet by 200 feet. Both will
be of brick and steel.

Now, work on all construction phases is

progressing as rapidly as current building
conditions permit.

Interest in the new school has been wide-
spread and already there have been numer-
ous inquiries from prospective students. At
the moment the University has 1,100 engi-
neering students and without doubt a
large number of these will elect to specialize
in aeronautical engineering.

Mr. Martin Explains

Not only will the Martin College be
available for post-graduate work b\ gradu-
ates of other engineering colleges, but
plans call for a number of scholarships to
be granted to the sons and daughters of
Martin employees, that they may better
equip themselves for important posts in
the profession to which their parents have
devoted their efforts.

It is expected that during his lifetime
Glenn L. Martin, president of the Martin
Company, will make other contributions to
the school and that provisions will be in-
cluded in his will for the new institution to
receive a portion of his estate.

Mr. Martin explained the gifts in these
words:

To Help Aviation

"The erection of a plant, and the crea-
tion of a research foundation at the
University of Maryland for education and
research in aeronautics represents the frui-
tion of thought of years as to how I could
best permanently help the advancement of
aviation and at the same time do some-
thing that would be of lasting value to
humanity, five things I should like to have
the satisfaction of doing in my lifetime.

"First, to contribute something of per-
manent value to aviation, to the develop-
ment of which 1 have dedicated mv life.

"Second, to play some humble part in

bringing about a better understanding be-
tween nations, particularly between my own
country and other countries.

"Third, to create an organization which,
through education and research, will help
raise the standards of living of people in
all nations.

"Fourth, to carry to the four corners of
the earth the doctrines of the worth of the
individual, and through that doctrine, in-
crease the respect of other nations for our
way of life.

"Fifth, to give to outstanding young
Americans and outstanding young men and
women of foreign countries opportunities
through education and research, to develop
into the highest type of leaders in aviation,

certain to be the greatest of industries, in
order that they may make aviation the
servant of all mankind."

An important consideration to the
University in the presentation of both gifts
of money by the Martin Company was that
they were made without any restricions, ex-
cept that they be used for developing the
aeronautical sciences and their related en-
gineering and scientific fields.

following editorial printed in the Baltimore
Sun. viz: —

"The Glenn L. Martin Company gift of
SI, 700,000 to the University of Maryland
is in the sound tradition of business and
philanthropy in our kind of economic
order. From the proceeds of a great air-
craft enterprise funds are made available
for aeronautical study. Industry which
serves the public directly through its prod-
uct is thus put at the further service of
society over a longer range. This is the en-
terprise system in full and attractive per-
spective.

"The bulk of the initial Martin gift will
be expended largely in constructing a phys-
ical plant. Here it is to be expected that
not merely immediate outlay but later
maintenance needs will be kept in mind.
The balance left after the building pro-
gram is provided for will go to the organ-
ization of a Glenn L. Martin Aeronautical
Research Foundation. This foundation will
support education and research in aviation
and its place in the world.

"The second point deserves special no-
tice, for it is one of the gratifying aspects
of Mr. Martin's plans that the new founda-
tion will be more than merely technical
in its interests. Dr. Byrd, of the Univer-
sity, assures us that the whole range of
applied aeronautical science will be studied,
including, for instance, such pressing tech-
nical problems as the development of pro-
pulsion by jet and rocket appliance. But
in addition the program calls for investi-
gation into the social, even the political,
as opposed to "the merely technical, place
of the aircraft in the modern world.

"Thus a close cooperation is envisaged
between the projected foundation and the
State Department and Commerce Depart-
ment of the Federal Government. Pre-
sumably questions of the international law
of air travel and air freight will be en-
compassed in such studies. Problems of air
treaties and conventions among nations like
those discussed at the recent international
meeting in Chicago will be examined.

"The value of these broader studies is
apparent from some comparisons. We know
in retrospect, that the railroad remade the
face of the continent and that the auto-

mobile has worked basic changes in our
way of life. But we know these things only
in retrospect. Moreover, the railroad and
the automobile did not involve us im-
mediately and intimately in contacts with
other countries. The Martin plan appar-
ently will aim, among others, to keep us
informed on what the aircraft means to us
as we go along. And that meaning will
touch not merely our domestic life but our
world relationships.

"Not that the program is all laid down
and formalized at this earlv date. One of
the points made by Dr. Byrd, of the uni-
versity, in discussing the plans, is that fur-
ther gifts are to come and that their full
meaning and value for the public cannot
now be wholly forseen. This argues that
the gifts are to be made with liberality,
untroubled by the narrow prescriptions
which cramp many a college benefaction.
The public will watch with interest as the
detail of the broad outline now offered
is blocked in."

URGE CONTROL SHIFT

The Maryland Chapter of the American
Association of University Professors re-
quested former Gov. O'Conor to transfer
administration of expenditures for teaching
and research at the University of Maryland
from the Board of Public Works, a State
body, to the Board of Regents of the Uni-
versity, Miss Marie D. Bryan, president of
the chapter, announced.

Miss Bryan, who is also assistant profes-
sor of education and English at the uni-
versity, said the resolution asking for this
change was passed unanimously by chapter
members.

She added that the move, although com-
ing from a group which takes action inde-
pendent of the university, backs up a stand
taken recently by University President H.
C. Byrd. She said the change should be
made "in the welfare of the university"
and that the Board of Regents was in a
better position to understand university
problems than any outside State agency.

Copies of the resolution were sent also
to the Governor, W. Preston Lane, the
secretary of the legislative council, the

secretary of the Board of Public Works, the
secretary of the Board of Regents, and to
Dr. Byrd.

In part, the resolution stales: "It is the
considered opinion of the Maryland chap-
ter of the American Association of Uni-
versity Professors that control by the Board
of Regents is essential, because the (on
trolling body must have an intimate
familiarity with research ideals and re-
search personnel, and the same familiarity
with the problems of teaching and teaching
personnel, if the objectives of the uni-
versity are to be realized."

"The association does not hold that the
clerical and classified personnel need neces-
sarily be controlled in the same manner."

Emphasis was made that the control
should not extend to the overall budget.
but rather to distribution of expenditures
to the teaching and research departments.

SONG WINNERS

Yes, Engineers write songs too. Engineers
were winners of the recent fight song con-
test at University of Maryland. It was writ-
ten and arranged by four students of the
College of Engineering. Reginald H. Hall.
William R. Campbell, D. Gordon Shallo-
witz, and Leonard Grossman. A $25 prize-
was presented to the winners.

Hall and Campbell wrote the lyrics,
while Shallowitz and Grossman handled the
music. Hall also worked out the arrange-
ment. The four winners have all had
musical experience in the past. Shallo-
witz and Grossman, who are roommates in
the veterans' barracks, have written several
songs previously, and Campbell has written
other lyrics. Hall is the leader of a five-
piece dance band called the "Debonairs"
that has played at several dances around
the campus.

The words of the winning song are as
follows:

Come on let's fight for dear old Maryland
Come on let's give our team a cheer
We've got to praise our loyal Terrapins
For we know they have no fear
Come on let's wave on high the Black and

Gold
We'll spread our frame through the land.
Come on let's fight, fight, fight to victory
For dear old V. of Maryland.

THE demand for swifter and more effi-
cient aircraft is very nearly as pressing
today as during the war. Aircraft com-
panies vie with each other for army, navy
and commercial contracts which are ap-
portioned according to the success of new
and advanced designs. Jet and rocket
propulsion extend the horizon of practical
design particularly in high speed and high
altitude flight. With this motivation, the
aeronautical engineer uses every resource
at his command to select the appropriate
propulsion system, whether jet, rocket or
propeller, and install it in an airframe
suited to the design requirements. This
preliminary design then undergoes a long
period of development which is mainlv
experimental in character.

"Build One And Try It"

The problem of measuring the aerodyna-
mic characteristics of a new design may be
approached directly by the time worn pro-
cesscess of 'building one and trying it out.'
Aircraft are tried out according to the well-
developed techniques of flight testing which
are unsurpassed for the evaluation of the
performance and the flying qualities of the
final design. Flight testing has definite
drawbacks, however, for the countless modi-
fications, adjustments and even major

changes that lie between the preliminary
layout and the final design. An expensive
flying model is required, usually full-scale
and extensive instrumentation. Tests are
subject to the vagaries of the weather and
sometimes offer considerable hazard to the
flving personnel^

aircraft performance. Some tunnels circu-

aircraft is further complicated by the need
of providing for satisfactory stability and
control at subsonic as well as supersonic
speeds. Wind-tunnel tests must therefore
be conducted in both types of tunnel and
a compromise design worked out. The work
of the subsonic tunnel is therefore increased
by the demand for supersonic missiles and
aircraft. Even without the requirements of
supersonic aircraft, the facilities of the
modern subsonic tunnels of this country
are overtaxed. Most of the major aircraft
companies have several design projects un-
der development and the army and navy
have numerous problems for wind-tunnel
research. Of particular interest arc such re-

rotate the model propellers to simulate pro-
peller effects. The wind-tunnel balances
will not only indicate the aerodynamic
forces and moments, but will punch Inter-
national Business Machine cards with the
pertinent data. The cards will then be
sent through computing machines to re-
duce the test results to their final corrected
form. This procedure will sa\e time and
personnel and yield more accurate results.
The wind-tunnel building will contain com-
plete woodworking and metal shops, offices
for wind-tunnel personnel and classrooms
to satisfy both industrial and educational
needs.

Costs Are High

Both the initial and the operational costs
arc high, but it is believed that the wind-
el development will prove to be a
sound investment even when judged on
financial grounds alone. The final cost of
the wind-tunnel unit will be close to Sl.-
(100,000. Operational costs will include the
salaries of a staff of 15 or 20 specialized
employees and an electric bill of about $100
per day. However, the Glenn L. Martin
Company has already indicated that it has
enough work to f nil v utilize the facilities
on a rental basis and the army and navy
arc interested in allocating aerodynamic re-
search contracts to the university.

The opportunities for the coordination of
the theoretical education of students in
aeronautical engineering with practical
wind-tunnel testing and research should
prove of immense value. The students will
witness and participate in practical tests
with modern equipment and the more cap
able will be encouraged to remain with the
university in research capacities. The con-
struction of the other components of the
Glenn L. Martin College, the structures,
engines, instruments and meteorology facil-
ities, will make our aeronautical college
and research center second to none in the

MEET GLENN L. MARTIN, FLYER

GLENN L. MARTIN, in whose honoi
the University of Maryland's College
of Engineering has been named, was born
at Macksburg, Iowa, on January 17, 1880.
Two years later his family moved to
Liberal, Kansas, where his father conducted
a wheat farm and a hardware shop.

When Glenn Martin was six years old
he had his first experience with aerody-
namics and business procedures. He learned
how to build and fly box kites more suc-
cessfully than any other boy in the neigh-
borhood. What's more, he uncovered a
market for them and began his first pro-
duction line on the floor of his mother's
kitchen. The charge was twenty-five cents
per kite.

Following this successful venture there
never was a time when he wasn't interested
in sails and lifting surfaces. He fitted a
sail to his toy wagon; later, aided by a sail,
he moved faster and with less effort on ice
skates when the wind was favorable and
he did some delicate navigation on his
bicycle with a sail for auxiliary power. All
of this experience with the vagaries of the
wind crystalized in his mind ten years later
when he developed the unshakable convic-
tions that he could build and fly a man
carrying airplane.

To Kansas

When the Martin family
presently moved to Salina,
Kansas, the boy secured
work in a bicycle shop
while he was attending
high school. Subsequently
he took a two-year busi-
ness course at Kansas
Wesleyan University, also
in Salina, and with his
love of things mechanical
he promptly promoted
himself a job as garage
hand with the first auto-
mobile business to open in
that town.

But the middle Western
winters were hard on Mrs.
Martin and in 1905 the
family moved to Santa
Ana, California. After
working there for a few
months as an auto sales-
man and repairman, Glenn
started a garage of his own.
It was a few months later
that he read of Orville
Wright's hundred-second
flight at Kittv Hawk,
N. C.

Glenn Martin knew that
he also would fly some
day, but his first steps to-
ward realization of this de-
sire were taken with the
thoroughness and caution
which have characterized
his entire life. He built a
biplane glider and for
months practised gliding
from the hills near Santa

Ana. But only after he felt completely at
ease in his giant kite did he rent an aban-
doned church, and begin construction of a
biplane with a motor and a propeller.

There were no text books for reference,
no blue prints or past experiences to guide
him. Everything he did was experimental.
Working during the day as an automobile
salesman and repairman he labored at night
on his airplane aided by light from a kero-
sene lamp held by his mother, who had
complete faith in his objectives from the
very start.

First Plane

After two years of work, which cost more
than $2,000, Glenn Martin's first aircraft
was ready for flight. Again there was no
headlong rush into the unknown. He
taxied for days to get the feel of the plane.
Finally in August, 1909, he made his first
flight, covering one hundred feet at a two

HONORABLE GLENN L. MARTIN

Grew up from boyhood boxklte era to design the most advanced aircraft

foot altitude. The instant he felt the plane
was off the ground, he brought it down.
Continuing for weeks to make these low
flights, he did nothing for fun or vain
glory. Every hop resulted in a study period
and very often in the necessity for adjust-
ment. Little by little he increased the
altitude of his hops until he reached fifteen
feet and stretched the distance flown to a
hundred yards. And still he continued
working at his automobile business to earn
money for maintenance and improvement
of his airplane.

Not until the summer of 1910 did young
Martin begin to feel satisfied with his plane
and in the fall of that year the Los Angeles
limes printed a picture of him and the
plane, adding cautiously that "he is re-
puted to have flown on the mesa near
Santa Ana". In November of the same
year his first advertised exhibition flight
took place at Santa Ana and The Times
did an about-face in its editorial columns.
Newspaper accounts of the flying attracted
large crowds to Santa Ana and the local
Chamber of Commerce decided to help him.
The plane was put on exhibition, tickets
were sold and several hundred dollars were
raised which Martin used as a nest egg to-
ward building his second
plane.

Began To Prosper

The next year he began
to make real money. He
and his aircraft were in
great demand at county
fairs and local celebrations.
A two-day exhibition at
Brawley, for example, fat-
tened his bank-roll by $750.

By 1911, Glenn L. Mar-
tin was one of the best
known fliers of the entire
country and went barn-
storming all over the West.
The crowds rated him a
daredevil, who thought
little of his life, but the
risks he ran were minim-
ized by the extraordinary
precautions he always took
before and during a flight.

He attracted world-wide
attention on May 10, 1912
by flying a seaplane thirty-
eight miles away, and back.
This was a vintage year for
Glenn Martin in the num-
ber of prizes won and in
the number of records
broken.

He was the first to de-
liver the mail by plane;
Inst to deliver newspapers
by plane; first to drop a
baseball into a catcher's
mitt from an airplane; he
tossed a bouquet into a
May Queen's lap by plane;
bombed a sham fort by
plane; used his flying
machine to hunt covotes,

to hunt escaped convicts, to pick up a pas-
senger from a boat, to search the ocean for
lost aviators, the first flyer to fly his own
mother, first to take motion pictures from
a plane, first to shower the public from the
air with department store advertising and
merchandise coupons.

And as far as young Martin was con-
cerned, all of this was important only be-
cause it served to advertise and create de-
mand for the planes being built in his in-
fant factory at Santa Ana. The torrent of
personnel acclamation meant nothing to
him.

Eventually some California capitalists
overcame their timidity about financing
Martin's company and lent support to the
project. Soon, however, they became con-
vinced that the possibilities of flying had
been completely explored and they began
to consider their investments unsoundly
placed. Dismayed but momentarily, Glenn
Martin, with the aid of a wealthy local
sportsman bought out his partners and
again became the sole owner of his business.

He continued his public appearances and
in 1912 at an international meet in Chicago
he won more events than any other entrant
and collected prize money amounting to
?4,854.

To Los Angeles

This same year he moved his factory to
Los Angeles and started a flying school, in
which many future leaders in aviation were
trained.

The next year he put out a four-passen-
ger seaplane which exhausted the phrase-
making capacity of the aviation reporters of
the day.

Early in 1913, using a bomb-sight of his
own design Martin made the first real
bombing test ever made from an airplane
while an Army officer checked the results
from the ground. Other inventions sprang
from his agile mind. He invented the first
parachute to open automatically and among
the year's top sensations were the parachute
jumps made by Miss Tiny Broadwick from
airplanes piloted by Glenn Martin.

Forseeing the entrance of the United
States into World War I, he merged his
own interests with those of the Wrights in
1917, the new company being called the
Wright-Martin Aircraft Corporation. Due
to conditions beyond the control of the
partners, the new organization was short-
lived and Glenn Martin with financial aid
from a group of Cleveland capitalists once
again organized his own company, this
time in Cleveland, Ohio.

In January, 1918, he went to Washington
with his plans for a new bomber, and got
a green light to proceed with the building
of a few models. The first of them rolled
out of his plant only six months later — an
unbelievable accomplishment. It was a
twin-engined biplane carrying a bomb load
of 1,500 pounds and years ahead of its
time in performance. A large order for the
bomber was immediately forthcoming, but
it was too late to help win the war. The

first shipment had been scheduled for De-
cember, 1918 and the war ended a month
earlier.

With World War I successfully over. Mr.
Martin's Cleveland backers disclosed that
they were interested only in winning the
war, not in financing a permanent aircraft
business. And for the second time, Martin
bought out his associates and became the
sole owner of his business.

Under his administration, the business
flourished and in a few years Martin air-
craft were in such demand that his Cleve-
land plant could no longer accomodate the
activity. In 1929, Martin moved his busi-
ness in its entirety to a 1 ,260 acre tract at
Middle River, Md., just 12 miles from
Baltimore. The city fathers welcomed him
with open arms and while speaking before
a civic gathering Mr. Martin predicted that
within a few years he would be utilizing the
services of ten thousand employees. During
World War II employment totals exceeded
fifty thousands and more than a year after
V-J Day, The Glenn L. Martin Company
had a stabalized employment of about twice
Mr. Martin's original estimate.

During the war years, the 140-000-pound
Mars, the largest seaplane in the world,
was built by Martin largely at his own ex-
pense. The original Mars and its succes-
sors were purchased by the U. S. Navy and
performed seemingly impossible tasks in the
Naval Transport Service.

After the launching of the Mars, Mr.
Martin announced that he had completed
designs for building a 250,000 pounder
and that he was ready to start on still
another seaplane of twice this weight, one
half million pounds.

Research In Other Fields

Under Martin's counselling, the com-
pany in recent years began research in other
fields. As a result, $3,000,000 was allocated
for the erection of a plant in Painesville,
Ohio, where the Martin Company will pro-
duce Marvinol, a vinyl type synthetic resin,
which can be used as a coating for fabrics,
papers and metals.

Another new Martin development was
Multi-Mulsion, a process by which metal,
wood, leather, plastics or almost any other
surface can be made usable for photo-
graphic reproduction. So successful was
this product, that by the end of 1946, it
had achieved national distribution.

A third success to come from Martin
laboratories was Honeycomb, developed in
cooperation with the U. S. Plywood Cor-
poration of New York. Made of a "honey-
comb" of cloth or paper sandwiched be-
tween and firmly bonded to thin sheets of
aluminum, stainless steel, wood veneer or
plastic, the new waterproof sheets are struc-
turally far stronger than anything of the
same weight now being produced.

Cannily, Martin used Honeycomb, his
own product, in the newest Martin post-
war planes as flooring, bulkheads, doors,
shelves, etc. because of its great strength
and weight saving characteristics.

In December of 1944, Glenn Martin an-
nounced that his company had made a gift
of §1,700,000 to the University of Maryland
for the establishment of a school offering
specialized instruction in aeronautical
sciences and opportunities for research in
the same field. A second gift of $800,000 to
the same foundation followed a year later.
Much encouraged by Mr. Martin's magnifi-
cent gesture, the State appropriated $700,-
000 for the same purpose and with the
opening of the fall semester of 1947, The
Glenn L. Martin College of Engineering
and Aeronautical Sciences was expected to
be in full operation with many new build-
ings and one of the finest wind tunnels in
the country.

With the long range vision and foresight
which the world has come to expect of
Glenn Martin, he announced shortly after
the close of World War II that his company
would embark for the first time on a pro-
gram of passenger and cargo plane construc-
tion.

Former Competitors

So well received were the new Martin
Models, the 2-0-2 cargo and 3-0-3, that in
the Fall of 1946, orders had been placed
for them by nine domestic and three foreign
passenger airlanes and four domestic cargo
operators. At this time the backlog of un-
delivered commercial and warplane order
held by the Martin Company had reached
the astounding peacetime total of S196,-
000,000, the greatest of any aircraft manu-
facturer in the world.

Today many of Martin's greatest com-
petitors are old employees of his. Glenn
Martin, himself, is one of the few pioneer
fliers of America who is guiding the des-
tinies of his own company.

He has been honored for his work on
many occasions including doctor's degrees
from three American Universities; was
awarded The Collier Trophy by President
Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1932 for the great-
est aeronautical achievement in America;
and was presented the Guggenheim Medal
by the Institute of the Aeronautical
Sciences in 1941 for his contribution to
aeronautical development.

LEE P. PENNINGTON

VETERANS FRIEND

A G-man whose hobby is the American
Legion, Lee R. Pennington, graduate of
University of Maryland's College of Engi-
neering, spends most of his leisure hours
helping veterans of World War II hurdle
jumps similar to those he himself encoun-
tered after World War I.

"That period of readjustment," he said,
"is tough. I know. I went through it!"

A past Department Commander of the
Legion and veterans' preference chairman
during 194."). Pennington is one of those
big, likable chaps whose very demeanor
inspires confidences. The GIs know this.
They come to him when the going is really
tough.

A fitting example was the recent Williams
realty case in Washington. The bovs poured
out their troubles without, however. am'
definite hope he could do anything about
it. Pennington, an inspector in charge of
the accounts and frauds section of the Fed-
eral Bureau of Investigation, shrewdly esti-
mated which way the wind was blowing.
He advised publicity rather than lengthv
litigation in the courts.

"Something had to be done quickly,"
he said, "before all the assets were gone.
1 only advised them to go to the news-
papers."

There is one ex-GI who owes his libertv
lo this kindly G-man, himself the father of
a veteran of World War II.

The boy had already served five months
of a long sentence when Pennington heard
his storv.

"I decided he was framed," he said, add-
ing simply, "so I set about to prove it."

Today the veteran is not only a free
man, but that dishonorable discharge has
been revoked.

Pennington was born in Martinsburg,
W. Va., and reared in Havre de Grace.
His father was a dentist. The son attended
the University of Maryland, graduating
with a degree in mechanical engineering
at Maryland. He entered World War I.

He served 15 months overseas and holds
the Purple Heart for wounds received in
action five davs before the armistice and

the Silver Star for "taking a town that was
right hard to take."

One of his proudest possessions is his
saber, won during his college days for hav-
ing the best-dressed company in the cadet
corps. His son, former Lt. Comdr. William
Carter Pennington, carried it during his
high-school cadet days and later used it
to cut his wedding cake.

"He's the one you should write about,"
said his dad. "Spent four years on a de-
stroyer and came out of the war outrank-
ing the old man!" — Elizabeth Oldfield in
the Washington Times Herald.

DR. WOODS RETIRES

Dr. Albert F. Woods, who served as
President of the University of Maryland
from 1917 to 1926, and who has devoted
more than half a century to agriculture,
retired as educational adviser of the Agri-
culture Department Graduate School on
December 31, 1946.

The school, conducted by the depart-
ment, offers undergraduate and graduate
courses in a variety of subjects, primarily
to Federal employes.

Dr. Woods became director of the Agri-
culture Department Graduate School in
1926 as part of his duties as director of
scientific work in the department and be-
came educational adviser in 1940.

Dr. Woods' retirement from the depart-
ment will not end the experimental work
in agriculture.

Instead, he plans to devote his time to
research on the nature and control of plant
diseases, making use of laboratory facilities
at the University of Maryland, where his
son, Dr. Mark W. Wood, is associate pro-
fessor in plant pathology.

The elder Dr. Woods, who discovered
the cause of mosaic disease to tobacco plants
in 1898, will investigate plant viruses at-
tacking potatoes and many other crops,
the younger Dr. Woods said today.

A. WARD GREENWOOD

"After reviewing my copy of "MARY-
LAND" recentlv, I am convinced that you
now have an alumni publication more in
keeping with the up and coming spirit
of our University," writes Mr. A. Ward
Greenwood, 3399 Highview Terrace, S. E.,
Washington 20, D. C, continuing:

"I enjoyed every portion of the magazine
and particularly those items which gave me
an indication of some of the successes
achieved by former classmates of whom I
had heard nothing in recent years.

"In hopes that you can continue to give
us something of real interest I want you
to have my support in the form of a five
dollar check enclosed herewith.

"Just in case you may need to fill up a
little space sometime, I had better tell you
something of my activities since leaving
Maryland as a graduate in 1928 with a B.S.
degree in Civil Engineering. While there I
was a member of Tau Beta Pi, Omicron
Delta Kappa and Scabbard and Blade. The
first several years after graduation were
spent with the C. & P. Telephone Com-
pany in Washington, D. C, and Charles-
ton, W. Va.

PAUL DAVID ARTHUR

Now in California, to return to Maryland.

Paul David Arthur, who was chosen by University
of Maryland, College of Engineering, for Fellow-
ship offered by Consolidated Vultee Aircraft Cor-
poration. Now engaged in an in-training course
with this corporation at San Diego, Calif. Returns
to University of Maryland September 1947 for study
leading to Master's degree in engineering. He
matriculated at University of Maryland September
1941; (Tau Beta Pi, Omicron Delta Kappa. Phi
Kappa Phi, Phi Eta Sigma, A. S. M. E.)

First prize A. S. M. E. Convention, Johns Hopkins,
April 1944, for presentation "Optimum Compres-
sion Ratios for Diesel Engines";

B. S., June 1944, age 19;

Employed by National Advisory Council for Aero-
nautics, Cleveland, Ohio;

Paul served in the Army, 18 months, U. S. and
Europe.

"Illness and the depression made the next
few years rather difficult. In 1934 I went
with the Public Roads Administration of
the Federal Works Agency and have been
with that organization as an engineer ever
since. Our work in the National Capital
Parks residency has to do with the parks in
and around Washington primarily, but the
war shifted us into defense access roads in
this area. Probably our most exciting proj-
ect was the network of roads in the vicinitv
of the Pentagon Building with its 21
bridges, interchanges and miles of paving,
rushed to completion to take care of the
30.000 War Dept. employees there.

"I hope more of the old timers send in
data so we can keep in touch with each
other a bit more.

"Good luck in vour new undertaking."

RETURNS FROM FRANCE

Dr. William F. Falls, who has been on
sabbatical leave from the language depart-
ment since June, returned from France,
and will resume his teaching duties in
February.

Dr. Falls, while in France, spent most of
his time in Paris and the Touraine region.
His main purpose in going to France was
to view the situation there, for it has been
ten years since his last visit, and also, to
gather material for a book on the writings
of Duhamel. Dr. Falls says he thinks Duha-
mel was "one of the great men of the
day and has something to say."

A professor of French, Dr. Falls has been
connected with the Foreign Language de-
partment since 1930.

scjiiadrons which flew in from a carrier
shortly after D-day and then operated from
the former Japanese air strip on Orotc
Peninsula, captured after one of the blood-
iest battles of the Guam campaign.

ground crewmen followed in the wake of
assault troops, unloaded equipment on
heavily-mined beaches, and, despite con-
stant harassment by Jap snipers, put Orote
Field into operation only a few hours
after it had been cleared of its organized
Jap resistance.

aerial bombardment, which preceded the
marine landing, the Maryland airman was
aboard a vessel in the task force which
cruised for days under the muzzles of Jap
coastal defenses.

MARYLAND ENGINEERS

DEAN S. S. Steinberg, head of the Uni-
versity of Maryland's Glenn L. Mar-
tin College of Engineering is naturally and
justifiably proud of the many splendid
engineers the University has produced.

Dean Steinberg, however, also likes to em-
phasize that an engineer education fits a
man for many other walks of life and, in
a broader sense, more or less makes the
man more competent in any walk of life.
The average person, in his daily routine,
knowingly or unknowningly actually prac-
tices engineering. The Dean likes to point
out that there is hardly anything a fellow
can do without doing an engineering job.

Maryland has turned out some truly
great engineers but it also has turned out
some great men who graduated from the
College of Engineering and then followed
walks of life other than engineering.

Graduates of the University of Maryland,
College of Engineering are playing an im-
portant part in the history of the country.
Many of them have made invaluable con-
tributions in their various fields. Among
the men who have made outstanding rec-
ords are:

President H. C. Byrd of the University
of Maryland, graduated in civil engineering
in 1908. He received an LL.D. degree from
Washington College in 1936, and LL.D.
from Dickinson Collge in 1938, and a D.Sc.
from Western Maryland College in 1938.

Judge William P. Cole, Jr., a graduate in
civil engineering, class of 1910, is President
of the Board of Regents of the University,
and Judge of the United States Customs
Court.

Millard E. Tydings, a graduate in me-
chanical engineering in the class of 1910 is
now United States Senator for Maryland.
Senator Tvdings received an LL.B. degree
in 1913.

Herschel H. Allen, president of the J. E.
Greiner Company of Baltimore. Mr. Allen
received a bachelor of science degree in
civil engineering in 1910. The Greiner
Company is in charge of Maryland's
Primary Bridge Program. Under this pro-
gram, the Havre de Grace bridge across the
Susquehanna River and the bridge across
the Potomac River at Morgantown, already
have been completed, stand as monuments
to Maryland engineering efficiency.

Harry D. Watts, a graduate in mechani-

cal engineering, in the class of 1904, is
president of James Steward and Company
of New York. Watt's personal contribution
to the Nation's war eflort in the construc-
tion of military and industrial facilities
was recognized on Dec. 4, 1943, by the
award of the U. S. Navy's Meritorious
Civilian Service Emblem "as recognition of
the excellent services rendered over and
beyond those normally required in connec-
tion with your duties in the construction
program."

Charles E. Darnell, a gradute in mechani-
cal engineering in 1922, is construction engi-
neer in charge for the U. S. Treasury De-
partment.

Wilbur B. Montgomery, bachelor of
science in civil engineering, 1923, is chief
of the design and contract division of the
National Park Service, U. S. Department of
the Interior. Among his achievements ha?
been the designing of the Cascades at Meri-
dian Hill Park, Washington, D. C.

Charles M. White, graduate in mechani-
cal engineering, class of 1913, is vice-presi-
dent of the Republic Steel Corporation,

MARYLAND ATHLETICS

MEET A SOLDIER!

By Bill Hottf.l

A YOUNGSTER from Bel Air, Md.. who
carries several pieces of lead slugs
from a German sniper's gun in his back
and who was told by doctors that he never
could run again, led the University of
Maryland cross country team to a success-
ful campaign last fall.

He is Stirling Kehoe, a staff sergeant in
the army during the war who suffered a
wound that tore a big gap in his back near
the spine while serving with the 104th In-
fantry Regiment of the 26th Division in
the Battle of the Rhine at Metz, and who
even since returning to school has spent
many sleepless nights from the pain re-
sulting from the presence of particles of
slugs in his anatomv.

Stirling, coached by his brother Jim

STIRLING KEHOE

Kehoe, former Maryland track great who
was an Army captain during the war, was
joined by his younger brother, Lindy
Kehoe, and a half dozen other capable
hill-and-dale runners in capturing four of
five meets and losing the Southern Confer-
ence crown to a highly-favored North Caro-
lina by a single point, 33-34.

In beating Johns Hopkins, Virginia and
Georgetown in dual affairs and taking a
triangular test from the Hoyas and Quan-
tico Marines, Stirling tied with teammates
for first in all the winning events and
placed fifth against Navy. He was fourth
in the Conference meet, the first Maryland
runner to finish, he was one of four to
break the course record at Chapel Hill,
being 18.5 seconds back of the victor.

Every member of the Maryland team fin-
ished among the first 21 in the Conference
meet, Lindy Kehoe being fifth. Bill Wisner
sixth. Jim Umbarger seventh. Herb White
twelfth, Gene Hambleton fourteenth. Ar-
thur Berryman sixteenth and Howard Um-
berger twenty-first.

Lindy Kehoe, who finished third in the
Navy meet, also tied Stirling for first place
in all of the other engagements, while
I'mbarger shared the top place in three of
the tests and Umberger in two. Stirling,
Lindy, Umbarger and Umberger came in
abreast in the Hopkins and Georgetown
races.

All eight are Maryland boys, the Kehoes
from Bel Air, Umbarger from Aberdeen,
Wisner from Parkton and Umberger,
Berryman, White and Hambleton from
Baltimore. All were in the service, except
White who was too youthful. Stirling is
the only senior. Wisner and White are
sophomores and the other five are juniors.

Ml, with an array of others, now are
toiling for the indoor track season, with
it being almost a certainty that Stirling
will be among those to gain a place on the
relay team. Before going into the service
he was the leading scoring runner on the
1942 team with 41 points as half miler and
miler. He was a double winner in two of
the six dual meets in which he took part.

It takes all sorts of fellows to make up a
world and all sorts of athletes to make up
the sports world. In the latter, above all,
it takes courage. This is a small tribute
to a game, grave lad who carried Mary-
land's colors to victory in spite of Nazi
lead still in his back.

That separates him from the athletes and
would be athletes who carry lead in their
shirt tails and not shot there by gun fire
either.

FIRST NAVAL BATTLE

The first naval battle in America was
fought on the Pocomoke river in 1935, be-
tween Claiborne's pinnace. LONG TAIL,
and Governor Calvert's two pinnaces, the
ST. MARGARET and the ST. HELEN.

COACH TATUM

"Oh, Shoily, look! Moitle just toined toitle!"

TATUM CHOSEN

Maryland's new head football coach and
Director of Athletics is 33 year old Jim
Tatum, who comes to the Old Liners from
Oklahoma.

latum, an All-Southern tackle at North
Carolina, graduated in 1935 and served as
assistant to Carl Snavely for five years at
Cornell. After returning to his alma mater
for the 1942 season, he coached the line of
the Iowa Preflight Seahawks in 1943. He
spent the next two years at Jacksonville.

At Oklahoma his team last year led the
Nation in defense against rushing, while
at the same time winning a reputation as
a ground-gaining eleven. The Sooners
averaged more than 315 yards a game.

In his first year at Oklahoma Tatum won
the co-championship of the Big Six and a
bowl victory. During an 11 -game campaign
the Sooners lost only to Army, Texas and
Kansas, and walloped North Carolina State
in the 'Gator Bowl.

Serving as head coach, however, was not
new to Tatum despite his youth. In 1942
he tutored North Carolina and in 1945
he was head coach of the Jacksonville Naval
Air Station team.

Colonel Geary Eppley steps out to devote
his full time to duties as director of student
welfare and dean of men. Tatum's choice
had been approved in advance at a session
of the Maryland Athletic Board.

The Tatum appointment was announced
to a jampacked audience at the West Point-
Maryland boxing meet. It was met with
rousing applause.

Manager Shank, Guckeyson, Patterson, Ruble,

Willis, McCarthy, C. Keller, Coach Shipley;

Bryant, Wood, Freas, Wheeler, Thomas, Surgent,

Stonebraker; Egan, Daly, Duley, Beebe, J. Keller.

THERE was plenty of glory at Maryland
in the 1946 baseball season with the
Southern Conference title flag tacked to the
mast and a great majority of the games on
the right side of the ledger. This was ac-
complished despite unfavorable weather
early in the season that retarded Vic Willis
and other pitchers.

However, the crafts George Wood, the
sophomore southpaw mite, led the slabbers
to a gratifying season, in which some of the
high spots were triumphs over Ohio State.
Cornell, Michigan, Duke and Navy, to men-
lion a few.

An even break also was gained with
Georgetown, one of the best nine playing in

PRIDE O' THE YANKEES.

ler, hefty hitter for the
New York Yankees. A
member of the champion-
ship team pictured above,
Keller, from Middletown,
Md., graduated in '38,

the South Atlantic sector and it came as
one of the feature triumphs of the season.

Charlie Keller, who continued to show
big league caliber in the outfield; Jack
Stonebraker, who first played second and
then was shifted to short to fill a gap there;
Waverly Wheeler, third sacker; Fred
(Young Knocky) Thomas, catcher, and Bill
Bryant, outfielder, were the big guns of the
team. Mike Surgent, inficlder, also de-
veloped as the season progressed and aided
wan his hitting.

Bill Guckeyson coming to the team late
v.hcn he was kept from track by a nerve
ailment in his shoulder, also shone as the
season waned, showing that he had the
calent to make good on the diamond as well
as on the gridiron and as an all-around
field man.

The team pictured above for the in-
spiration of current and future Maryland
squads won from Ohio State. Cornell, Vir-
ginia Military Institute, University of
Michigan, West Virginia, Naval Academy.
Georgetown, Duke, William and Mary,
Washington College, Washington and Lee,
North Carolina, U. S. Military Academy.

The team lost games to Cornell, Rich-
mond, Virginia. Georgetown and Rutgers.

Bill Guckeyson went on up to West Point
from this squad and Charlie Keller became
•.ne King of "Murderer's Row" for the
N'ew York Yankees.

SHAUGHNESSY LEAVES

Clark Shaughnessy. itinerate T-formation
coaching genius, made another sudden
move when he resigned from the Uni-
versity of Maryland to devote his full time
to the Redskins as advisory coach.

Shaughnessy gave two reasons for his dis-
parture from the Old Line school. And
he tempered his statement with a hint that
he might return to Maryland.

"My heart and soul is in football,"
Shaughnessy said, "and I could not see my
way clear to accept a position of this kind
director of athletics)."

For his second reason, Shaughnessy de-
dared that the university wanted him to
sever his connection with the Redskins.
'The university has not demanded that I
discontinue my connection with the Red-
skins, but has indicated that it would look
favorably upon such a proposal." Shaugh-
nessy said.

WHOZAT?

this is Little Benny Bimmelheimer who just
Igured out how to drop a DIME in the coke
•nachine in the Ad Building and make drinks come
out on BOTH sides.

The hint of his return came in the
coach's windup to the statement. "I leave
the University of Maryland, perhaps tem-
porarily," he said, "with high regard for
all those connected with it."

Dr. Byrd said that he accepted the
resignation "with reluctance," but that
"Clark has been considering the matter for
some time" and that Shaughnessy "de-
ferred action in order to give the uni-
versity time to find someone else to fill his
shoes."

In emphasizing his high regard for
Shaughnessy, "a personal friend for 25
years," Byrd said that "Shaughnessy is a
great football coach, one of the best."

"The fact that his football team last fall
lost several games had nothing to do with
the decision whatever, either from his view-
point or the university's." Byrd said in
emphasizing that the decision to devote his
entire time to the Redskins next fall was
reached by Shaughnessv himself.

Shaughnessy 's hint that he might come
back to college football — perhaps to Mary-
land — was born out in Byrd's statement
that "he (Shaughnessv) would make good
on any college campus."

Speculation about Shaughnessy's smccs
sor started with the first word of his resig-
nation and a possible source of trouble in
finding a new man for Maryland's coaching
merry-go-round may develop from the
school's inability to offer a contract.

SOUTHERN CONFERENCE

The Southern Conference boxing tourna-
ment, shelved during the late unpleasant-
ness with Adolf, Benito, Tojo, et al, will
be resumed this year and will take place
at College Park.

The wrestling tournament will also be
resumed and will go to V. M. I. Swimming,
tennis and golf tourneys are also to take
place again, but have not yet been alio
cated.

As usual, the indoor games and the out-
door track and field meet were awarded
to the Universitv of North Carolina. The
indoor event will be held March 1. and the
outdoor meet on the third Friday and
Saturday in May.

The conference voted to hold the annual
basketball tournament in Raleigh, provided
that city meets certain requirements which
were not specified. The meet was set for
March 6, 7 and 8.

Attached to the conditional award was
authorization for the conference basketball
committee, to select some other site if the
requirements are not met by Raleigh.

A movement was launched before this
meeting to have the tourney held at Dur-
ham, where Duke has 8,000 seats available,
instead of Raleigh, site for the last 14
tourneys, where the seating capacity is just
under 4,000.

The convention decided also to recog-
nize the \\dnner of the tournament as con-
ference basketball champion. Heretofore
the yvinner has been officially recognized
only as champion of the tournament.

Colonel Geary lippley. Dean of Men and
Director of Athletics at the University of
Maryland, was elected Southern Conference
Vice President.

VICE PRESIDENT

Colonel Geary Eppley, Dean of Men and Director
of Athletics at the University of Maryland, who
was elected Vice President of the Southern Con-
ference at last month's meeting in Charleston, S. C.

Colonel William Couper, of V.M.I. , was
elected president, succeeding Dr. H. A.
Fisher, of North Carolina State. Fisher
asked that he not be nominated for re-
election, because of the pressure of other
duties.

Colonel D. S. McAlister, of the Citadel,
was re-elected secretary and treasurer.

Roanoke was chosen as the next conven-
tion city, but the date yvas not fixed. It
will be set by the executive committee.

The Conference gave an approving nod
in the direction of the N.C.A.A.'s suggested
code regarding financial aid for college
athletes.

With practically no discussion, the repre-
sentatives of the sixteen-member loop
adopted a resolution indorsing "in princi-
ple" the suggestions the N.C.A.A. put for-
ward at a meeting in Chicago in July.

The resolution also pledged the confer-
ence to give extensive study to what it de-
scribed as a feyv items in the N.C.A.A.
code which are not already embraced in
conference regulations.

Dr. Lee Milford, of Clemson, a former
conference president, raised his voice in an
appeal to the member institutions to "stop
this business" of inducing students taking
summer school study at one institution to
go to a school other than the one they
had already arranged to attend.

The executive committee was instructed
to consider a proposal that the time of the
annual meeting be changed to some other
date than the first part of December. One
suggestion was that it be held in conjunc-
tion with the baskteball tournament.

An amendment to regulations approved
would permit a candidate for admission to
a conference school to take summer yvork
for credits at another institution provided
he does not participate in inter-collegiate
athletics at the latter, and provided he
obtains in advance the consent of the
faculty chairmen and presidents of both
schools.

HE DID IT.

There goes Snorky. He always said
he'd go OUT for the team!"

BASKETBALL

Coach Burton Shipley's University of

Maryland 194617 basketball team got oft
to a rocky start l>\ tackling, in the initial
game of the season, West Virginia's star
studded tossers, rated as the best in tlu
nation by many experts a vear ago. In the
game at Morgantown, a couple of fresh-
man forwards who between them scored
50 points pased the Mountaineer cagesters
to an 81 — 43 victory.

The Mary landers, opening their formal
playing season, held during most of the
first quarter in which they trailed 17 — 9.
but after that it was West Virginia going
away.

Fred Schaus and Bill Zirkel continued
the showing they made against Carnegie
lech. Schaus scored 28 points, while Zirkel,
doing well with a spectacular left-hand shot,
accounted for 22 more.

The Mountaineers counted up a half-
time lead of 33 — 14, and increased that to
60 — 24 at the end of the third period.

Western Maryland
•Jf The Terps trimmed Western Maryland,
\'lrj 4-' — 39. Maryland's shooting percentage
could have been better with 16 field goals
in 83 shots, made up of 39 sets shots, 35
layups and 9 taps. The Terrors made 15
of 70, with the same number from mid-
court, but they didn't take as many from
dose up as the Old Liners out-hustled them
off the backboard. It was a wild game all
the way.

Maryland's John Edwards and Bill
Brown, both from last year's team, topped
the scorers with 12 points each. Western
Maryland's outstanding player was Al
rcobson, who was taken out late in the
game, a mighty tired little man.

Coach Shipley remarked that "we'd have
a good team if we had tall fellows. We
ick height."

Johns-Hopkins

Maryland and Johns-Hopkins played one
of the roughest basketball games ever wit-
nessed in Ritchie Coliseum as the Terps
won 41-36.

There were 35 fouls, nine in the last
four minutes of play.

Maryland led at the half, 28-18 scoring
four field goals in two minutes.

Maryland found trouble in getting under
way in the second half and Hopkins pulled
up to 39-34 with 4\/ 2 minutes left. Then

BRIGHT BOY.

'You needn't inspect mine, Cap'n.
I plugged up the barrel."

COACH SHIPLEY

the whistle-happy officials took over and
called nine fouls in the last four minutes.
Hopkins closed the gap to 39-36 on free
throws by Timke and Ernie Wilkinson with
one minute left. Bill Brown then put the
clincher through the ring to make it 41-36.

North Carolina

In spite of a sensational rally in the
second period staged by Maryland's Tommy
Mont, Bill Brown and Vic Turyn, that al-
most closed the gap, 33-34, the Terrapins
bowed to North Carolina's casaba tossers
at Chapel Hill. Tinal score 58-43. It was
also the Terrapins' first Southern Confer-
ence game.

Hamilton, one of the two newcomers in
Carolina's starting array, led the attack with
seven field goals and three charity tosses
for 17 points.

The losers were a little behind almost
all the way. Maryland's John Edwards
was high gun with 13 points. Tcrp Bill
Brown was ninncrup with 9.

Mthough both teams missed frequent
shots in the first half, the marksmanship

THAT OL- FEELIN'.

was particularly faulty on the free-throw
line. At half time Carolina led, 17-12, in
what was a lazy game up to that point.
The business started in the second half.

Brown missed seven of eight free throws
for the Terrapins.

George Washington

Maryland University's basketcers scored
a distinct Southern Conference upset at
College Park, outroughing and outpointing
Ccorge Washington. 44—43, in a red-hot
battle that saw the lead change 1 1 times
before the final whistle.

The Terps compiled their margin of \ u
tory at the foul line, dunking 12 out of 16
tosses as compared to 11 out of 16 by
George Washington. The teams were even
on field goals — 16 each.

After Maryland had garnered a five-point
advantage in the opening semester, the
Colonials fought back to gain a 33 — 31 lead

SOUTHPAW REDSKIN

This comes to us from the Kampus Klown who
says he sketched it out of a glass case at the
Smithsonian Institution. This left-handed Indian,
says the Klown, may be Chief-Hocks-His-Own-
Watch, a Pawnee from the Hocking Valley Tribe.

On the other hand some contend this is Chief
Strawberry-Shortcake, who recently died and was
buried by his loving wife. When fellow tribesmen
came to bury the Chief his wife told them they
were too late, announcing, "Squaw Bury Shortcake."

midway of the second session and that was
the signal for the fireworks. Bill Cantwell,
high -scoring G. W. forward who had
pitched in the last basket, had to leave the
tilt with an injured ankle and just 30 sec-
onds later Maryland's Bill Brown knotted
the count at 33-all.

The lead changed hands five times from
lhat juncture, but after Phil McNiff tallied
to put the Colonials ahead, 41 — 40, Johnny
Shumate and Brown plunked Terp baskets
to pile up Maryland's final margin of vic-
tory.

With some 10 seconds remaining to play,
Capt. Jim Rausch spurted in to sink what
turned out to be George Washington's final
goal, but it appeared that the Colonials had
pulled the chestnuts out of the fire when
Barry Kreisberg threw in a follow shot. It
was ruled that the game had ended before
his basket, however, and the score was
nullified.

Quantico Marines

■ A brilliant first-half demonstration of
basket shooting by Vic Turyn, Bill Brown
and Don Schuerholz paced Maryland Uni-
versity quintet to a 62-48 triumph over the
Quantico Marines on the Leatherneck's
court.

Turyn took scoring honors with 18 points,
a single point ahead of the hosts' Spuhler,
former Duke star. Brown tallied 14 points
to beat out the Marines' Trewella by two
points for third high.

At halftime the Terrapins led, 35-13, and
it was no contest from there in. The Terps
used a total of 13 players.

Rough play marked action throughout,
with the Terps losing Tommy Mont and
Schuerholz via the fold route and Quantico
losing Trewella.

Richmond

The Spider's string was stronger than the
Terrapin's bite at College Park as Rich-
mond University staved off a desperate last
minute attack by Maryland and won.
41—39.

Leading 39 — 26 with 10 minutes to play
the Spiders cracked and the Terps got un-
der way with Edwards, Brown and Turyn
finding the range for 10 points and only a
4-point deficit, 40 — 36, with six minutes to
go-
Richmond then pulled the old freeze
successfully until Mont sank one with one
and one-half minutes left. With the score
40—38, Mont fouled Miller who made it
41 — 38 with one minute left. Brown missed
a foul and then Robinson gave two charity
tosses. He made the first and elected to
take the ball out of bounds.

Washington & Lee

Maryland's basketball club moved up to
the free throw line to snuff out Washing-
ton St Lee's seven-game winning streak.
65-60, in a Southern Conference game at
Lexington.

The Old Liners were awarded 25 foul
shots and counted on 19 of them, with Cen-
ter John Edwards hitting 12 times and
missing only once.

After trailing 36-29 at the halftime inter-
mission on the basis of Maryland's deadly
set shots, the Generals came rollicking back
to within a single point of the Old Liners.
49-48, when reserve guard Steve Ulaki
threw in four baskets in less than three
minutes midway of the second half.

That was the Generals' major offensive
threat in the late stages, and the Old
Liners continued to toss in single points
at the charity line.

Edwards set the scoring pace with 20

points, but the Old Liners' rangy guard,
Bill Brown, scored seven times from the
Boor and augmented this effort with four
free throws for 18 points.

Virginia Tech

Maryland racked up a nice basketball
win by defeating Virginia Tech, 57-49, in
a Southern Conference game at Blacksburg
before 3,000 fans.

Tech was loath to let the Terrapins walk
off with the verdict, the lead changing
hands with rapidity during the first three
periods, but it was the almost abnormal
accuracy of the Old Liners in the first half
and their ability to run the Gobblers off
their collective legs in the second half that
clinched the victory.

In the first six minutes of the second half
Tech forged ahead, but the Old Liners
soon got their bearings and gradually
pulled away to a comfortable margin.

V.M.I.

Maryland's basketballers defeated Vir-
ginia Military Institute, 61-50, in a South-
ern Conference tilt.

The Terrapins had tough going to an-
nex the victory. The Cadets threw a scare
into the Old Liners as the second half
drew to a close when they pulled out to a
one-point lead, 18-17.

Virginia started to repeat its efforts at the
opening of the second half, but before the
period was over, weakened.

Maryland staged an uphill battle dur-
ing the first part of the game as it strove
to cut down the advantage given the Cadets
by the sharpshooting of Walker, who ac-
cumulated 17 points, and his sharp de-
fensive work. But in the second half the
Old Liners forged ahead and made it a
runaway game as the contest closed.

TRACK TEAM

Maryland's track team, under coach Jim
Kchoc, having recently concluded a most
successful cross-country season, pitched into
the coming season. This year's array of
thinclads appear to be of championship
calibre. The outlook for a winning season
on the boards loomed promising.

Particularly strong in the 220 and 440,
the Terps are led by Ed Matthews, South-
ern Conference Indoor and Outdoor quar-
ter-mile champion. Pushing Matthews to
the limit will be Charles Abel Wilson and
Brian Fennell, both members of the South-
ern Conference runnersup, mile relay team.
Wilson placed in the Conference 440 as
well. A welcome newcomer to this combi-
nation is Howard Gugel, member of the
1941 undefeated Freshman team.

Veteran half-miler, Tom Devlin, runner-
up to Matthews in the Conference indoor
(]uarter-mile championship and runnerup
to N'eighbogall of Duke in the outdoor
conference half-mile, will alternate between
the 440 and 880. Jim Umbarger, former
Mercersburg star, will be another mainstay
in the half-mile, supported by promising
little "Herb" White and Gene Hambleton.

In the distance department, as in the
coaching end, it seems to be Kehoe all the
way. "Lindy" Kehoe, Jim's younger brother-
er, who has been developing rapidly, will
head the milers. "Wild Bill" Wisner who
towards the end did some grand running in
cross-country, will also run the mile. In-
cidentally, Wisner, a good, consistent run-
ner, received far less credit than was due
him last spring. "Doc" Berryman, an ex-
Marine, who has been shaping up quite
well, will alternate between the mile and
the half.

Sterling Kehoe moving up to the two-
mile, will head this strong event. Sterling
led the cross-country team through an ex-
ceptionally good season of four wins as
against one loss in duel and triangular
competition and a one-point loss to the
powerful University of North Carolina
team in the recent conference cross-country
championships. Kehoe who has turned in
some brilliant races this fall will team up
with Howard Umbcrger, former Baltimore
Poly star, who will be attempting his fust
season at the intercollegiate two-mile.

Maryland, very weak in the hurdles last
vear, has quite a boost due in the form of
I'eter Schafer, another Mercersburg ace,
former low and high hurdles National
Junior Championship. Pete is young, tall
and ideally built for a hurdler and will be
expected to accomplish great things this
season. Ed Waller. California and Oregon
star, now out for varsity basketball, will be

heard from as well. Walker is also an ex-
cellent high and broad jumper, making him
quite an asset to the team. Speaking of
assets. Ko\ Storti. injured in football this
fall, hopes lo be ready soon, and this, too,

will add considerable strength to the event.
FETTERS IS NO. 1

Bob Fitters, close defense star of the
University of Maryland lacrosse team, was
named recipient of the Schmeisser Award
which is given annually to the outstanding
defense man in the country, at the United
States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association
convention in New York City.

Fetters, a returned war veteran who
played for two years at College Park prior
to going to war, is a graduate of the Balti-
more Polytechnic Institute, but he never
played the Indian game there. He is a
tall and agile stickman, who has speed and
experience. He was a defensive standout in
the North-South game played in Baltimore
to a 14-14 overtime tie last June.

The Old Liner also plays basketball and
soccer, and he was an all-Eastern selection
in the booting sport in 1941.

Only two goals were scored on Fetters,
a goalie in soccer, that year, by Western
Maryland and Temple. In 1941 Maryland
and Springfield College were the only un-
beaten collegiate soccer teams. The Old
Liners won 8 and tied Navy 0-0.

Fetters is married and the father of two
youngsters.

SEVEN STRAIGHT

The Old Line riflemen, coached by
Colonel Harland C. Griswold ran true to
form by crushing the "933" rifle team. This
was the Old Liner's third start of the sea-
son and their third overwhelming victory.

HE DID IT

Even after the Colonel told him he couldn't.

COL. GRISWOLD

The "933's" were squelched by Maryland
who defeated them by a total of 208 points.
The Maryland scores totaled 1391 points,
their highest of the season, against their
opponents 1183 points. As in the previous
matches, high score of the evening was
handed in by Arthur Cook, who shot the
tabulated score of 292 points. Closely fol-
lowing him was Joe Decker with 287 points,
Emanuel Briguglio with 274; C. S. Harris
274, and Dave Weber with 264 points.
Those whose scores were not tabulated in
the final aggregation were Bob Baker 260,
Will F. Rice 259, M. J. Sando 258, Ed
Hobbs 255 and John D. Emler 253. In
contrast to these scores, the "high man" on
the "933" team only shot 266 against the
low score of 264 used in the final tabula-
tion on the Old Liners' score.

In a shoulder to shoulder 22 caliber rifle
match, Maryland's University's rifle team,
coached by Colonel Harlan C. Griswold,
again defeated a team from Headquarters,
U. S. Marine Corps, 1380 to 1324.

It was the season's fourth straight win for
the undefeated Terrapins.

Arthur Cook of Maryland turned in the
day's high target with 290, while Captain
Ken Mosteller scored high for the Marines
with 280.

Shooting on the Marine team were three
Women Reserve shooters, Duffy, Peters and
Cox.

Maintaining their unbroken record the
Old Liner rifle team won its fifth straight
match. For the first time of the season
Arthur Cook failed to shoot high score for
the evening. Honors went to McDougal of
the National Capital Rifle Club who top-
ped Cook's score of 286 by 2 points.

The Maryland team ran up a total score
of 1394 points against 1376 for the Na-
tional Capitals.

Colonel Griswold's University of Mary
land marksmen won from the Berwyn Gun
Club 1395 to 1381. It was the Old Liners
sixth straight win.

A. E. Cook was high target for the Terps
with 100—100—89 for 289. followed in
order by Carter, Wessons. Decker, Griguglio.
Bowling. Weber. Jenkins. Waters and Stith.

Berwyn's high man was Merriman,
oc)_c)5_ 8 g f or 282, followed by Gebler, H.
J. Waters, R. Waters, Krites, Cerniglia,
Moore, Mitchell and Hopkins.

Making it seven straight Maryland's
shooters took the measure of Georgetown
University 1391 to 1289. For the Terps A.
E. Cook was again No. 1 man with 100 —
100—91 to make 291, followed by Bowling.
Decker, Weber, Wesson, Briguglio, Stith.
Peabody, Sando and Jenkins.

Paglia was Georgetown's high man with
97—88—82 to make it 267, followed by
Ashe, Walker, Small, Moran. Sawch, Jen-
kins, Stone and Skahan.

The University of Maryland's rifle team
shot its second meet of the 1946-47 season
against the Marine Headquarters Unit from
Washington.

The Old Liner's ran up a score of 1386
points, against the Marine Reserve score
which came to 1339. As in the previous
match (the Old Liners defeated the mar-
ines in an early season match) Arthur Cook
took the spotlight by shooting the high
score of 286 points. The other four men
whose scores were tabulated in the final
score were John Wessen with 280, Walt
Bowling 275, J. Rolom 273, and Emanuel
Briguglio who shot 272. The remaining five
men who fired, but whose scores were not
used in the final tabulation were Joe Decker
with 271 points, M. A. Orr, 270, Dave
Weber 267, Robert Carter 259 and E. EJ
Hobbs with 245. Against this the Marine
team scores ran from 260 to 269, with the
exception of their team captain who shot
280.

Maryland next defeated the "973" team
of the Maryland Rifle League, 1391 to
1183.

FIRST TEN

The New York Enquirer each year rates
the group it regards as the top ten men
in the Administration of boxing. This
year's list again includes the name of
Colonel Heinie Miller, Head Boxing Coach
at the University of Maryland.

BOXING

"Yes, Virginia, there IS a Santa Claus!"
might well have been said by Ed Rieder,
Maryland's classy 155 pound boxer, as he
wound up on the short end of a decision
in favor of Joe Miragliotta. Ed might have
added, "And this year he comes early!"
The booing that followed the green light
in favor of the Cavalier mitmen lasted a
long, long time. Nothing like it ever before
at College Park. The crowd seemed to
think it was one of those things that even
Houdini couldn't have handed down aided
by mirrors and two pairs of pants. The
booing was in technicolor, wired for sound
and in spades yet.

Virginia won the meet by half a point,
4i/£ to 3i/£ and several other decisions were
not exactly Chanel No. 5 either.

Referee Ray Gadsby, after the bouts, re-
marked, "There should have been two
judges in addition to the referee". Aye and
amen to that. Its standard in boxing the
world over and is called for in national
collegiate boxing rules. The referee is a
busy man up on that big white drum. Two
competent judges can sit in calmly and
"see" the bout.

In the 135 pound class Jimmy Miragliot-
ta, Virginia's Eastern Intercollegiate cham-
pion, bit off a sweet chunk to chew on in
Maryland's Danny Smith. It was nip and
tuck all the way. Since Danny did the
leading the crowd figured he had no worse
than a draw coming. It came up "Virginia".
You'll hear more from Danny.

In the 145 pound class Tommy Maloney

COACH MILLER

got only an even-Steven nod against Willie
Barnett. Maloney boxed on even terms
against Barnett for two frames. In the
third the Terp unleashed smashing right
handers to body and head. He seemed to
have it easy enough.

At 165 Maryland unwrapped its surprise
package in Bob Gregson. After a grade
"A" exhibition of on balance counter
punching right out of the book he took
the decision over Earl Barnett.

In the heavyweight division 176 pound
Kenny Malone went around hefty Edgar
Allen Poe III like a cooper goes around
a barrel, Malone winning pulled up and
going away.

At 175 Bob Hafer, Maryland beginner,
did O.K. against Virginia's Ralph Shoaf.
Hafer, his first time in the ring, was a
last minute substitute for Arnold Gibbs.
out with a nose injury. Gibbs had intended
to substitute for Nick Kozay, who decided
against boxing. Virginia's win here was
extremely close.

At 130 Virginia's Basil Miragliotta, South
Atlantic champion, won from classy Al
Salkowski, boxing one grade above his
normal poundage. It was again very close
and Salkowski is a much better fighter than
he showed on his first time out. He figures
to prove that later.

At 125 juvenile Davey Lewis went in as
a last minute substitute for Danny Mc-
Laughlin, who had figured on taking the
spot vacated by Al Salkowski. But Danny
side-tracked with flu and the doctor's orders
to lay off. Davey won by a last round
rally. It could have been a draw and no
griping on it.

Juggling the line-up was made necessary
due to a broken thumb incurred in train-
ing by Andy Quattrocchi, Maryland's
regular 130-pounder, who punches like all
get-out. Watch him later. He might recall
Ivan Nedomatsky.

Malone went in with a wrenched back.
Gregson, Malonev and Smith boxed in

5 Go'"

spite of elbow injuries. All three were un-
der treatment right up to ring time.
Game boys in there shooting for the team.
Thus three of the boys were not right and
three were last minute substitutions. The
decisions were not so good and the I crps
were nosed out by one half a [joint against
a very good Cavalier team.

Which adds up to "The boxing outlook
at Maryland is pretty good" with Coach
Heinie Miller's fingers crossed against in
juries and substitutions.

"Dun't LeflF"

There was a snicker or two when Vir-
ginia's big heavyweight Edgar Allen Poe
III was introduced. He is a direct descend-
ant of the famous poet who, in Baltimore,
wrote "The Raven". But Poe III was not
reciting. He was in there doing his level
best for his school. Which brings us to
the comment that with the sole exception
of Len Rodman a few years ago, who drove
over from Baltimore's School of Pharmacy
to box for Maryland, the Terps have
usually found their big fellows sitting on
the side lines. Other schools have heavy-
weights. Maryland has been going in there
with the heavyweight file a blank and one
point spotted out of eight, or with a little
fellow like Ken Malone making up in guts
what he lacks in poundage. If anyone
thinks its moonlight and roses to spot good
opponents l/8th of the possible score
before the bell rings or to spot 'em 25
pounds they can write that opinion down
for their old Aunt Tabitha.

Bucknell

Maryland's boxing team, crippled worse
than at any time in Terrapin ring history,
registered a surprise upset by defeating
Bucknell's Bisons 8 to 0. Not since the
same score was turned in against Richmond
back in 1937 has a Terp fistic team regis-
tered a shutout score.

Three Maryland wins were convincing
knockouts. Four were by decision. Bucknell
forfeited the heavyweight bout.

At 125 Maryland's diminutive Danny Mc-
Laughlin gave a master to pupil boxing ex-
hibition to handily trounce Harry Fagan,
Bucknell. Danny substituted for Al Salkow-
ski on less than one day's notice and with
no pre-bout training. The decision was
unanimous.

At 130 juvenile Davey Lewis represented
the Terrapins in place of Andy Quattracchi,
out with an injured hand. Boxing coolv
Lewis took the measure of Ray Hood. A
smashing third round finish with Hood all
in at the bell won two votes for Lewis while
the third ballot was for a draw.

At 135 Danny Smith, for the Old Liners,
won a split verdict over Bucknell's good
boy, Bill Fiora. The latter was an able
and extremely agressive boxer who had a
lead over the Marylander going into the
final stanza. Fiora layed a steady barrage
of wide right and left hooks. Smith, in ex-
cellent condition, stepped inside of these
blows and most of them went around
Smith's head. In the third Danny began
stepping inside of the swings, nailing Fiora
with straight rights and short right hooks
to the head, alternating with smashing left
hooks to the body. The slips read two for
Smith and one for Fiora. It was a swell
fight, with aggressiveness stacked against

smart on balance counter punching. ["he

latter m\ le won.

\i 1 15 Johnn) Aibarano, making his firsl
appearance in any ring, won from Buck-
ncll's licvi man. Jesse Syme. Aibarano look
the plate of lommv Maloney, out with a
nose injury, and Billy Greer, who was to
replace Maloney but pulled up sick just
Ix-foic ring time. The word had to be
passed in the Coliseum to get Aibarano into
the dressing room where he was issued his
lust pair of boxing shoes. Albarano's win
was a great tribute to excellent physical
condition. Not in Syme's class as an ex-
perienced boxer Aibarano was outpointed
for two rounds. He followed instructions to
the letter and. in the third round, banking
on physical condition, he opened up with
everything lie could throw. It had Syme all
in at the finish and won the unanimous
dct ision.

\i 155 Maryland's Eddie Ricder. counter
punching with both hands on every lead
made l>\ Bucknell's Jim Houghton, slopped
the Bison in round three after easilv carry-
ing the first two rounds. Smashing outside
left and right hooks to the head and inside
left hooks to the body did the job.

Another kayo was registered by Man-
kind's dass Bob Gregson in two rounds
against Bucknell's Doug Fleming. The lat-
ter was never in the running and was out-
(lassed by the fast stepping and counter
punching Gregson, who gave a masterly ex-
hibition of the art of hit and get away.

Kenny Mslone, boxing at his proper 175
pound weight, flattened game and willing
Don Nesselbush. Bucknell. in two frames.
The Bison had plentv of heart but cour-
age was not enough. Malone knew too
many answers.

\rnold Gibbs. Maryland, won the heavy-
weight bout by default.

Just prior to the bouts Ken Malone was

dec ted team captain. Jimmy Hoffman was
elected team manager with Jack Crane as

his assistant.

Commenting on the Bucknell win Coach
Heinie Miller said, "It was a pleasure to
note how each and every Maryland lad on
this occasion followed instructions to the
letter. It seemed as though we were back
again in the prewar vears of 1937 and
I9.39."

Joe Bunsa, former CUA ring star, did a
fine job as third man with Captain Hairs
Volkman and Dr. O. U. Singer as judges
and Professor George D. Quigley as time-
keeper.

West Point

Maryland's ring men. favored by one
close decision, but having to overcome two
close ones against them, won from West
Point's crack Army team, 4i/ 2 to 3i/2 to beat
the Cadet's long winning streak.

At 12.") little Darin) Mcl.auglin handed
out a boxing lesson to Army's Mcdon Bitter
l<> win the unanimous nod.

At 130 dynamic Andy Quattrocchi made

his debut for the Terps knocking out Clar-
ence Waters, Ainu. And) punches with
either hand.

At 135 Bill Hiestand. Army, shaded game
little Danny Smith in the best bout of
the night. Because Maryland has no other
135 pounder Smith took his regular spot
in the line-up. He had not trained and
had been in bed for the better part of three
days with the grippe. The bout was nip
and tuck. It would have been a draw on
all three score cards but for a two point
penalty imposed on Smith for an unin-
tentional and undamaging low blow. Two
judges called for Army. One called it a
draw.

At 145 Tommy Maloney pulled up with

a draw against Vrmy's loin ll.i/.ud Id
raosl of the ringsiders ii looked like Mary-
land's Tommy had all three rounds. The
crowd let this one have a pretty good ration
of the merry roundelay. I wo judges called
ii even. The referee wrote for Maloney.

At 155 Maryland's Ed Rieder won from
Dick Howell after three smacking rounds.
Most ringsiders thought this one could have
been a draw. It was one of those that can
go either way depending upon what stvlc
you like. All three slips were for Rieder.

At 165 Army's Harrv Ball won the
unanimous decision from Marv land's fast
stepping Bob Gregson. 1 he latter did not
fight his usual fight and. for two rounds,
allowed Ball to take the lead. When
Gregson assumed the initiative in the third
he took that round, but it proved a bit
too late to pull the fat out of the fire.
Gregson is a better boxer than he showed
against Army.

\ split decision lost for Mar. land's Cap-
tain Ken Malone against Army's Pete Mon-
fore. Malone appeared to have easilv out -
boxed the soldier. The latter was game and
aggressive and did most of the leading.
Most ringsiders thoughl Malone won il
and that a draw would have been plent)
fair for the cadet. The slips read two foi
Army and one for a draw.

With the team score lied going into the
final. Arnold Gibbs. Marv land 175 pounder,
faced 6 ft., 4 inch Joe Kiernan. Army
Gibbs moved in with a banging left hook
to the body followed bv a straight right
into the midrift and an overhand right
flush on the jaw. That tore it. School was
out. That's all there was; there wasn't an)
more.

BLADENSBURG REPEATED

When Maryland's Colonel J. P. S. Dever-

eaux with his heroic little Marine Batta-
lion stood off the Japs on Wake Island.
President Roosevelt said, "When they re-
turn they will find that their heroic effort
and sacrifice united and inspired a nation."

Newspaper reporters called on General
Thomas Holcomb, Commandant of the
Marine Corps, for a story regarding his re-
actions to the magnificent defense of Wake
Island.

"Did you expect them," General Holcomb
asked, "to take it lying down? Besides it
is not a new story. The same thing hap-
pened at Bladensburg, Maryland, in the
War of 1812 when a small battalion of
Marines of about the same strength as the
outfit on Wake died on the line in the face
of the numerical superiority of the invad-
ing British Army."

A Maryland incident that made history
and should not be forgotten. Possibly some
of Devereaux' inspiration came from
Bladensburg's defense, in his native Mary-
land.

Paul Revere's famous ride, reduced to
practical horsemanship, was not a great
fete. But Paul had a poet! So the ride
went on to posterity.

The Marine battalion at Bladensburg was
something great. However, they had no
poet. A Texan once said, referring to the
Greeks on the fields of Marathon, "The
Greeks had one messenger. He was the lone
survivor. He got away to leave the story
of Marathon for the pages of history. Well,
the Alamo had no survivors. Neither did
Custer at Little Big Horn. It pays to have
a get away man for history's pages."

HE WAS A HERO

He was just a campus live wire. Gradu-
ated from Maryland's College of Commerce
in 1940. Member of the Boxing and Foot-
ball squads. Alpha Tau Omega. Pi Delta
Epsilon, Scabbard and Blade Society. His
name was Bruce Davis. He looked forward
to post war Homecoming Days. H"; will not
attend them. His widow. Gudnv Asta. lives
in her native Iceland with the Davis' daugh-
ter, Anna Mary. His parents live in San
Mateo. California, at 967 Rosewood Drive,

Seems only yesterday that Bruce Davis
was around the College Park campus, great-
ly interested in his job as managing editor
of the 1939 Terrapin. Just a line kid; typi-
cally the Maryland kind. A 'hello' fellow
on a 'hello' campus. A hero? Bruce would
have laughed at that one. Well, that's the
stock from which heroes arc made. Jusi
guvs named Bruce or Joe or Bill. Could
Bruce Davis have read Major Mike Rinc-
hart's fine article, "The Red Devils Got
What They Wanted", in the April 27, 1945
Saturday Evening Post, the Maryland boy
would have thought Major Mike was writ-
ing about some fellow other than Bruce
Davis. Rinehart wrote: — "They are proud
of the leadership of Captain William B.
Davis, who although wounded in both legs,
took the portable radio from his dead
operator and directed artillery fire on at-
tacking tanks. Captain Davis had to roll
downhill from his observation post to get
back to his company. He was killed by a
shell fragment several hours later as he
lay on a litter."

\t a formal retreat ceremony at San
Francisco's historic Presidio the Bronze
Star Medal was awarded to Bruce Davis'
widow. The citation follows: — "For Dis-
tinctive heroism in connection with military
operations against the enemv on 10 Septem-
ber 1944 in the vicinity of Arnaville.
France. Captain Davis, a company com-
mander, was in command of a company of
our forces assisting in the establishment of
a bridgehead across the Mosselle River, and
the assault on the high wooded terrain
known as "Hill 386." Under intense fire
from enemy artillery, mortar, automatic and
small arms fire. Captain Davis, with utter
disregard for his own safety personally led
and encouraged his men forward in attain-
ing their objective. When his company's
advance was halted by a fortified strong-
point, Captain Davis completely exposed to
the intense fire, personally and with his
individual weapon succeeded in silencing
the enemy strongpoint and capturing eight
of the enemy's soldiers thereby enabling
our forces to again proceed forward. When
his radio operator became a casualty, Cap-
tain Davis strapped the radio upon his back
and directed accurate and precision artil-
lery fire upon the enemy's position. In this
action Captain Davis received severe and
painful wounds but declined medical treat-
ment until his men were treated. Captain
Davis' courage, fearlessness, and intrepid
action was largely responsible for repulsing
a strong enemy counter-attack. His con-
duct reflects great credit on himself and is
in accord with the highest traditions of the
Military Service."

This is from the official report of the
Fifth Division in France, vis: — "Leadership
such as Capt. William B. Davis. C Company
Commander displayed, inspired. Capt.
Davis was with his SCR-284 radio operator

the radio operator was killed. Though

fire on tanks in Arry he observed and rolled
downhill to his company to which he gave
essential orders and stimulation. He re-
fused evacuation until forcibly put on a

Quite a fellow, wasn't he, that Davis?
Quite a soldier. Quite an American.

May his couch be soft in the guarding
loam as he sleeps the sleep of the brave,
the young, the strong, the fair.

WAR AND PEACE

By J- G. Lucas

Former Marine Corps Combat Correspondent, in
the New York World Telegram

We say that the men who fought this
war don't glory in it, that they hate war.
And we think we mean what we say. But
it isn't true. We are more war-minded
than we know. When I asked myself re-
cently, "Do I hate war?" 1 had to answer,
"I don't." I had to go on from there. I
may secretly love war. Self-examination
shocked me; I suddenly was aware of
something I hadn't known about myself.
I suspect that more of the millions who
fought this war feel this way than admit it,
even to themselves.

War is ugliness. War is death. War is
destruction. War is heartbreak and sorrow.
The men who fight wars, when they fight
them, hate war. They hate its blood and
carnage, its grime and filth, its demands on
their bodies. They hate its separations, its
regimentation. But when wars are over, day
after day that's easier to forget.

You don't forget the other side of the
war. You don't forget that in war you
found the only Christian brotherhood you
ever knew. You don't forget that in war
you found complete selflessness. You don't

forget learning in war that a man could
love the other fellow more than himself,
if only for a minute, an hour, a day. You
don't forget that in war you saw men who
loved life give their lives for you.

I didn't know that kind of living before
I went to the war. I haven't known it
since. I miss it. The absence of it, the
brutal contradiction of it in peace, makes
it the harder to forget.

We have returned to a world at peace.
It is a world of dog-eat-dog. Probably it
has always been like that. Probably it
hasn't (hanged much. Probably we haven't
either. We've taken up our places in this
world, and are living by its rides. But we
can't forget that once we knew — and were
— men who lived and died by other rules.

Living on that plane for an hour, I am
dissatisfied with anything less. William
James sa\s the world, in peace, must find
the moral equivalent for war. Lacking that,
peace is inadequate. Lacking that, peace
produces nostalgia for war.

When we tore into Germany and Japan,
thousands of World War I veterans —
bankers drawn from their banks, judges
from> their benches, farmers from their
farms — flocked back to war. There may
be a moral to it. Certainly, a national
preparedness program and a foreign policy
based on frank recognition that we're not
as peace-loving as we say — that we're not
even a neutral-minded people when there's
a first-rate scrap going on — might have
dissuaded our enemies from attacking us
in both wars.

Our task is at once simple and staggering.
We've got to forge a world of peace out
of the same steel we forge a world at war.
It's insane that war should bring out our
best qualities and peace our worst.

his picture of Washington.

APPRECIATED BOKAYS

"Congratulations on the fine new
'MARYLAND'. It is indeed a great step
forward", writes G. Kenneth Horwath, '35
and '44, 1316 Hanover Street, Baltimore
30, adding "the entire alumni should
wholeheartedly support this project. Best
wishes for continued success".

Writes Mrs. Edward F. (Louise Fenton)
Quinn, 10 Sunset Road, Bay Shore, Long
Island, N. Y. "Both Ed and I enjoyed the
December super-'MARYLAND' publication.
We have already interested two New York-
ers in going to Maryland and now that
Ed has been transferred to Fort Sam
Houston, Texas, we'll send you some
lexans."

"I received my copy of MARYLAND",
writes Tom Rives, '42, 331 West Scott Ave.,
Rahway, N. J. "and to say the least I am
verv enthusiastic about our publication."

17 LIFESAVERS

Here are seventeen commandments for
safer automobile driving as published by
the Pennsylvania State Highway Com-
mission.

1. Always be alert. Let nothing distract
your attention from your job of driving.

2. Approach pedestrians with caution. Be
ready to make a quick, safe stop.

3. Always remain a sufficient distance be-
hind the car in front of you to be able to
stop safely.

4. Slow-moving vehicles must keep to the
extreme right of the highway. The) arc
an accident hazard, inviting foolish motor-
ists to make dangerous passes.

5. When an officer signals for you to stop,
drive to the extreme right of the highway
and give notice of your intention to the
vehicle behind you.

6. Always slow down before reaching a
curve.

7. Instead of coasting around a curve,
keep your car in gear and feed the gas
cautiously.

8. Never jam your brakes. Best braking
power is obtained by applying and releas-
ing the brakes intermittently with a pump-
ing motion.

9. Permit clutch to remain engaged in
slowing down.

10. To insure safety, use the same geai
in descending a steep grade as you would
have to use to ascend it.

11. If vour car starts to skid, keep it in
gear and turn the front wheels in the
direction of the skid.

12. Never over-drive your headlamps at
night. A good rule is to drive two-thirds
as fast by night as you do by day. Sun-
down — slow down.

13. Keep your windshield clean. A dirty
windshield is especially hazardous at sun-
down and at night.

THE CHEMISTRY BUILDING

14. Be on the alert at night for identifi-
cation lights of trucks and buses. These in-
dicate the presence of a large, slow-moving
vehicle.

ALPHA TAU OMEGA HOUSE

15. Never operate a car more than four
hours with less than 30 minutes relaxation,
or more than eight hours with less than
two hours rest.

16. Keep your car under control while
passing children who are walking or play-
ing along the highway.

17. Avoid looking directly at the lights
of an oncoming car at night. An eye is a
sensitive instrument which is quickly
blinded by a glare.

NAVY SPECIALISTS

The age limits for Reserve and Tem-
porary Officers of the Navy and Marine
Corps applying for transfer to regular
Navy in medical, dental, hospital and med-
ical allied sciences corps and Officers ap-
plying for transfer as Legal Specialists has
been increased by three (3) years.

For officers in the above categories the
requirement that applications must be sub-
mitted within six (6) months from release
to inactive duty has been cancelled and
those who are now eligible for transfer
under the increased age limit will not lose
priority as a result of having been on in-
active duty providing they applv for trans-
fer prior to March 1st, 1947.

MARYLAND TEA PARTY

The Burning of the Peggy Stewart, was
the Old Line States version of Boston's
similar event, a spectacular occasion of far-
reaching importance, not alone to Mary-
land, but to all the colonies. As early as
1770 merchants of Boston. New York. Phila-
delphia. Baltimore and Annapolis bad
agreed to resist the English tea lax. Boston
had had its famous "tea party," but even
this did not prevent Anthony Stewart of
Annapolis from bringing his brig, the
"Peggy Stewart" into Annapolis with a
cargo of tea. Indignantly Marylanders de-
termined that the tea should not be landed
and on October 19, 1774. Stewart himself
was forced to set fire to his own ship with
ils challenged cargo. Ibis was the last
attempt to import tea into the English-
American colonies.

PRODUCT OF AMERICA

One of America's great generals was re-
cently retired after 48 years of Army service.
He is Gen. Walter Krueger. who led the
6th Winv from New Guinea to Tokyo. But
for the great hgurc of Gen. MacArthur,
his talents would have gained greater public
attention. Inside the Army there is no
question of his military stature. In the
Navy loo he was recognized as one of the
most brilliant men to ever attend the
Navy War College.

Cen. krueger was peculiarly a product
of the United Stales Army. He was born
in Germany and brought to the United
Stales by his widowed mother at the age
of S and enlisted in the Army at 17 as
a private during the Spanish-American
War, His schooling, except for his ele-
mentary and high school attendance up to
17. therefore, was all gained in the various
Army Staff schools and colleges.

He joined MacArthur in New Guinea
in the spring of 1943, having been selected
by his chief from a long list of possibilities
From then until the end of the war he
played a vital part in the tactics of the
Army's campaign in the Pacific.

FIRST STEAMBOAT

The First American Steamboat was in-
vented by a Marylander, James Runisey,
born in Cecil County, Maryland. He was
an engineer who invented machinery which
propelled a boat on the Potomac River in
1784. Later he applied the power of steam
to his invention, which successfully oper-
ated his boat by taking water in at the bow
and expelling it with great force at the
stern. This took place on December 3,
1787, ten years prior to the time when
Robert Fulton drove his steam-propelled
craft on the Hudson River. At Shephards-
town, W. Va., just across the river from
Maryland, a monument has been erected in
commemoration of this historic event.

MONUMENTAL CITY

The first monument to Washington was
erected in Baltimore City, 1815. Hence
its name, The Monumental City.

FIRST STEAM BOAT

The first steamboat in the United States
(Invented by James Rumsey, a Marylander)
made its trial trip on the Potomac river
in 1785.

YET CONFERENCE

The Mid-Atlantic Conference of the Stu-
dent Veterans Coordinating Committee was
held last month at the University of Penn-
sylvania. The Maryland Association of
Veterans was represented by seven dele-
gates.

Delegates from 28 Eastern colleges and
universities attended the SVCC sessions.

Campus Vet's Club representatives, led
by Bill Kyriakys, president of the Club,
included Lennsworth Cottrell, Mary Dullea,
John Grady, Hugh Hoenicker, Florence
Kretchmer, and James Robinson.

Panel discussions resulted in many reso-
lutions which were subsequently voted on
in open meeting.

An accepted resolution from the financial
panel favors increasing subsistence allow-

JfottmoAtel

ances to $100 for a single veteran and for
a married veteran $10 additional for
each child, with a maximum allowance of
$20. The SVCC also voted favoring raising
ceilings on GI earnings, including govern-
ment subsistence, to $250 for single veterans
and $300 for married veterans.

The panel on housing proposed a reso-
lution, which was also accepted, favoring
extension of rent controls at present levels.

The majority of accepted resolutions were
brought forward by the panel on academic
problems. A recommendation to propose
enlargement of college faculties to facilitate
smaller classes was approved. The SVCC
also went on record as favoring extending
the time limitations of PL346, the GI Bill
of Rights, to enable the veteran to attain
his occupational objective. This is the sys-
tem employed for disabled veterans attend-
ing college under PL16.

The conference voiced opposition to the
increase of tuition costs by many univer-
sities, in an attempt to receive a maximum
of funds from the GI Bill appropriation.
The "quota system" of college entrance,
employed in some leading universities was
also opposed by the delegates.

The resolutions approved by the dele-
gates, who represented 71,400 student vet-
erans, will be presented to committees in
Congress.

HOMEMAKERS' CORNER

Have you tried the delicious apple top
ping for ice cream, cake, baked apple, or
even plain bread pudding? If not, try it.
suggests Miss Margaret McPheeters, nutri-
tion specialist for the University of Mary-
land extension service. You can keep it
on hand and have it ready for use at all
times.

Just take 4 cups of chopped, tart, juicy
apples and 1 cup of white or light syrup
and cook until the apples are tender and
the juice is thick. Flavor with fresh mint,
or the mint flavoring. If the color is a pale
green, add a little green coloring.

You can make a quantity at a time and
keep it in the refrigerator in jars. When
ready to use, top your ice cream or dessert
with this apple topping. Put on a peak
of grated cocoa nut, fresh, canned or dried,
and a bit of red jelly or a cherry. It is as
lovely to look at, says Miss McPheeters, as
it is delicious to taste. The natural color
of the dessert with the red. white and green
topping adds much to the enjoyment of
the meal.

Apples are like milk, eggs, potatoes and
many other basic foods in that there seems
to be no end to the variety of their uses.
They are delicious in plain salads or des-
serts; cooked they add much in flavor
color and texture to anv dish.

and appearance, with the rapid growth of the University
as a whole. It is the intention to make the magazine a
medium of expression which should represent adequately
the University and the State.

The University financed the first three issues of the
magazine. ( Jopies were sent to all alumni whose addresses
were available. The magazine needs sufficient alumni sup-
port to finance in large part, if not completely, the publi-
cation.

Also, plans are underway to develop, centralize,
and vitalize an organization of alumni of the University,
so that alumni strength and influence will be commensur-
ate with the number of alumni. In this development the
new publication plays a vital part.

MARYLAND'S COLLEGE OF

AGRICULTURE

Abraham Lincoln Signed
Land-Grant Act in 1862
and Far - Seeing Officials
Visualized Great School.

IT HAS been said that Maryland agricul-
ture more nearly presents a miniature of
agriculture in the United States than that
of any other state. This is by way of saying
that the agriculture of the Old Line State
is unusually diversified. To serve that widely
diversified agriculture is the function of the
College of Agriculture of the University of
Maryland. In rendering that service, the
activities of the College extend to the farms
and homes throughout the entire state.

By way of contrast with the conditions as
they exist today, a bit of history is of inter-
est. The so-called Land-Grant Act, which
was the beginning of agricultural educa-
tional institutions in most all of the states,
was signed by President Abraham Lincoln
in 1862. In Maryland, far-seeing individuals
had recognized the need for systematic
training in that important field and had
taken steps to provide it. As early as 1856,
the Maryland Agricultural College was
chartered as a privately owned and operated
institution. Thus, it was natural that when
the General Assembly of Maryland accepted
the grant under the Land-Grant Act, the
Maryland Agricultural College was named
as the beneficiary. At that time it became,
at least in part, a State institution. In 1920
the Agricultural College became a part of
the University of Maryland.

To Help Farmers

While the founders of the agricultural
college no doubt had in mind that agricul-
ture would be taught in much the same
way that liberal arts were being taught at
that time, the needs for different types of
information soon became apparent, not only
for use in teaching classes, but in helping
farmers to solve their problems. This need
was felt not onlv in Maryland but in other
states and resulted in the Hatch Act of
1887, which provided for federal support

for agricultural experiment stations. Mary-
land, like most of the other states, estab-
lished its experiment station in connection
with its agricultural college. Such an ar-
rangement permits a large percentage of
the personnel to do both teaching and
research.

After the experiment stations had been
in operation for some twenty to twenty-five
years and the accumulating results of their
research were becoming constantly more
valuable, another great need became in-
creasingly apparent. It was noted that much
more was known about agriculture, about
new and better methods, ways to reduce
or prevent losses from insects and diseases,
and many other problems, than was being
put into general practice on the farms.
There was need for getting the information
to the people on their farms in ways that
they could easily understand. In the case
of new or different methods, it was essential
that they be brought to the farmers in a
way that they could follow in their own
practice.

The Smith-Lever Act

To meet this need, the Federal Govern-
ment enacted the Smith-Lever Act in 1914.
which provided for establishing an exten-
sion service in agriculture and home eco-
nomics in each state. Cooperative agricul-
tural extension work under this act was to
"consist of the giving of instruction and
practical demonstrations in agriculture and
home economics to persons not attending
or resident in said colleges, and imparting
to such persons information on said subjects
through field demonstrations, publications,
and otherwise."

This type of agricultural education was
just getting started when the country was
confronted with the problems and emer-
gencies of Woild War I. The service that
could be rendered in :f.< *Y>od production
and conservation measures and other war-
time r.ctivities by trained agricultural and
home demonstration agents in the counties
was recognized and the organization was
pushed as rapidly as possible. Maryland
was one of the first states, if not the first.

THE NEW COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE

This fine new structure is soon to be erected on Maryland's campus

THE DEAN

Dean T. B. Symons, Head of Maryland's College
of Agriculture

to place a county agricultural and home
demonstration agent in each county, and it
has maintained that record.

Other acts by the Federal Government
and by the State have provided for growth
and expansion of the three lines of agricul-
tural education which culminated in the
College of Agriculture as it is known today.

There is still a fourth service to agricul-
ture, and to other citizens of the state, that
is centered in the College of Agriculture;
namely, the regulatory work. In this re-
spect, the organization in Maryalnd is
unique. By act of the General Assembly,
the Board of Regents of the University of
Maryland and the Maryland State Board of
Agriculture are one and the same. Certain
regulatory measures, such as inspection of
greenhouses and nurseries, control of insect
pest and disease outbreaks, which are func-
tions of the State Board of Agriculture, are
delegated to the proper persons or depart-
ments of the College of Agriculture. It is
under such delegated authority that the
State Entomologist, State Pathologist, State
Veterinarian, and others conduct their work.

Four Lines Of Service

Experience through the years has con-
vinced those in authority that the close
coordination of the four lines of service in
one organization makes for efficiency and
economy, and avoids duplication and possi-
bilities of friction and misunderstanding.
Instructors in the several departments are
closely associated with the research, exten-
sion and regulatory work being carried on
in their respective fields and in many cases
devote a portion of their time to one or
more of these types of activities. Close co-
ordination of the four types of work enables
the University to provide a stronger faculty
in the College of Agriculture, and affords
a higher degree of specialization than would
otherwise be possible. It insures instructors
an opportunity to keep informed on the
latest results of research, and to be con-
stantly in touch with current trends and
problems that are revealed in extension and

regulatory activities. Heads of departments
hold staff conferences to this end, so that
the student at all times is close to the
developments one the frontiers of the several
fields of knowledge.

Young men and women are given a basic
general education while they are being in-
structed in the various brandies of agricul-
ture. It is the objective to provide trained
personnel for agricultural and allied indus-
tries.

Courses Offered

The College provides courses for those
who wish to engage in general farming. live
stock production, dairying, poultry hus
bandry, fruit or vegetable growing, flori-
culture or ornamental horticulture, field
crop production, or in the highly scientific
activities connected with these industries.
It prepares men to serve as farm managers,
for positions with commercial concerns re-
lated to agriculture, for responsible posi-
tions as teachers in agricultural colleges and
in departments of vocational agriculture in
high schools, or as investigators in experi-
ment stations, for extension work, for regu-
latory activities, and for service in the U.
S. Department of Agriculture. Graduates
are now holding responsible positions in
practically all of these fields.

Twelve Departments

As now organized, the College of Agricul-
ture includes twelve departments: Agricul-
tural Chemistry; Agricultural Education
and Rural Life; Agricultural Engineering;
Agronomy; Animal Husbandry; Botany;
Dairy Husbandry (including Dairy Manu-
facturing); Entomology; Farm Management
and Agricultural Economics; Horticulture,
Poultry Husbandry; Veterinary Science;
and Marketing. From the numerous courses
offered in these departments a student can
find training to fit himself for most any
career in agriculture or allied fields which
he desires to enter. Naturally, the courses
offered are changing constantly in accord-
ance with the changes and trends in Agri-
culture. Rapid development of the poultry
industry in Maryland during the last few
years, for example, has resulted in the addi-
tion of many new courses and different
types of courses in that field. Mechaniza-
tion of farm and home operations, together
with such developments as freezing of foods.

HIS MAJESTY!

ChamDion Ram — Southdown flock,
University of Maryland

has required additional and different in-
struction. Other such changes and trends
are constantly affecting the courses offered
by the College of Agriculture, as it is neces-
sary for it to not only keep abreast of
developments, but to train leaders for the
developments.

In order that the work of the College
shall be responsive to agricultural interests
and shall adequately meet the needs of the
varied agricultural industries in the state,
and that the courses of instruction shall at
all times be made most helpful for students,
advisory councils have been constituted.
These councils are composed of leaders in
the respective lines of agriculture in Mary-
land. By this means the College, the indus-
tries and the students are kept abreast of
developments.

The Experiment Station

When Maryland farmers have a problem,
the first agency to attempt to find a solution
is the Agricultural Experiment Station. In
general, it is a "trouble-shooter" for the
farmers of the state.

Maryland agriculture is made up of forty
thousand small, individual businesses. The
problems that confront such complex and
diversified businesses are as numerous and
perplexing as those of any other business.
! lure is not sufficient capital or income
so that one farm can conduct the research
necessary to cope with its problems. Hence,
the research laboratories and facilities at the
Experiment Station are for Maryland agri-
culture what the research laboratories are
for large corporations.

Scientists of the Station are constantly
seeking to develop varieties and strains of
crops that give higher yields of better
quality, and that are more resistant to the
ravages of diseases and insects. They are
working for breeds and types of livestock
and poultry that give greater returns for the
feed, labor and care given them. Improve-
ments in marketing, in management, in the
design and construction of farm buildings,
the adaption and use of farm machinery
and equipment all come within the scope
of investigators.

The College Goes to the People

A new variety of barley, developed by the
Maryland Station, is free from tlu barbs that
make bark) so disagreeable to handle. It
is now the principal variety grown in the
state and the acreage in that crop has
greatly increased. A variety of sweet potato,
the "Maryland Golden," brings premium
prices on the market. A new peach, the
"Redskin," demonstrated superiority in sev-
eral respects and is being planted exten-
sively. A number of new varieties of pota-
toes have been introduced, some of which
are particularly resistant to the most de-
structive diseases. As a result of the Experi-
ment Station's efforts in locating and testing
strains of hybrid seed corn and its assistance
in providing seed of adapted strains, the
farmers of Maryland are able to use this
higher yielding seed on more than three-
fourths of their corn acreage. A new strain
of hogs that is being developed in coopera-
tion wth the Federal Government promises
to be especially adapted to conditions in this
slate. The list could be continued almost
indefinitely.

Facts and methods developed by research
assume their real value only when they be-
come general practice of the people on the

farms and in the homes. The Extension
service is the division of the College of
Agriculture that is designed to help farm
people take full advantage of all the know-
ledge available that will enable them to
improve their standards of living.

In each Maryland county there is an agri-
cultural agent and a home demonstration
agent, and in many counties there are assist-
ant agents. They are not only trained and
experienced in the latest and best informa-
tion, but they are residents of the respective
counties, neighbors of those whom they
serve, and know their conditions and prob-
lems at first hand. Back of these agents in
the counties is a group of specialists. It is
the job of each specialist to keep thoroughly
informed in his or her particular field and
to assist both the agents and the people
with problems that arise, as well as help
plan programs and procedures for develop-
ment of their respective lines.

Two features have been prominent in ex-
tension work. The people themselves have
had a dominant part in determining the
programs to be carried out, and the pri-
mary aim is to help people help themselves.
This obviously has made for close coopera-
tion between extension workers and the
people in their counties. It has resulted in
the training of leaders who greatly magnify
the work that extension workers could do as
individuals.

Farm And Home Visits

By demonstrations, meetings, visits 10
farms and homes, visits at the offices of
agents, publications, letters, telephone,
radio, exhibits, tours, and other means, the
extension workers are in constant contact
with rural people. Last year, for example,
they made 27,416 farm and home visits to
13,925 different farms and homes. They
had 78,857 calls at their offices and 112,109
telephone calls relating to their work. They
distributed more than 80,000 bulletins on
subjects of interest to people in their coun-
ties and conducted 8,000 demonstrations.

The work of the Extension Service is
organized for the benefit of all members of
the familv, the men, women, bovs and girls.
There is a place for the boy and girl who is
old enough to carry out a simple project,
and also for the father and mother and

older youth. The ultimate objective is to
develop a more satisfying and pleasant
rural life. Extension workers have an active]
part in any efforts that are made for com-
munity and home improvement, as well as
in helping to make the farm enterprise more
successful and profitable and the farm home
more comfortable, convenient and attrac-
tive. Development of leadership and cul-
tural attainment are results of the work
that cannot be measured. Bringing to rural
people accurate but unbiased information
regarding the broad questions, which have
developed as an aftermath of war, is an
example of the tasks and responsibilities
that come to extension workers with chang-
ing conditions.

The work with boys and girls is carried
on through 4-H clubs, the H's standing for
development of the head, heart, hands and
health, which indicates its breadth. The
13,000 boys and girls enrolled last year car-
ried out one or more definite projects, such
as growing a home garden, raising dairy or
beef animals, or hogs, growing potatoes or
raising chickens, canning food, or making
or repairing garments. But, all work and
no play is not wholesome for young per-
sons, so that 4-H club training gives atten-
tion to recreation, cultural and social
development.

Regulatory Services

Certain regulations pertaining to agricul-
tural products, or products connected with
agriculture, have been considered in the
public interest by the General Assembly
and laws have been enacted for their en-
forcement. These include laws requiring
inspection of nurseries and greenhouses, the
dairy inspection law, fresh egg law, provi-
sions for assuring the health of plants and
animals brought into the state, the en-
forcement of quarantines to control out-
breaks of insect pests and diseases, and a
number of other regulations. Federal-State
inspection of a number of products is pro-
vided for those who desire to have official
certification as to the quality of their
products.

In carrying out all of these measures, it
is the aim to make them as educational as
possible, with a view to helping producers
understand and appreciate what makes for
good quality. The required inspections, in

a large percentage of cases, are demonstra-
tions in the things that are needed for
improvement.

Cooperation With Other Agencies

With the many agencies and organiza-
tions that are working for the improvement
of agriculture and rural life in Maryland,
full cooperation is essential. Since the Col-
lege of Agriculture is an educational agency,
it is able to give effective cooperation. It
has the cordial support of all the farm and
home organizations and works closely with
the Federal agencies carrying on agricul-
tural programs in the state.

DEDICATION

Agricultural and civic leaders of Mary-
land joined with officials of the University
of Maryland in laying the cornerstone for
the new College of Agriculture Building
on February 6th.

THE SOIL IS THE NATIOHS "REAL" ESTATE

Soil Conservation Laws De-
signed to Protect, in Six
Basic Land Areas the His-
toric Soil of Maryland.

CONSIDER the words "real estate." In
common usage tlie words bring to
mind property, i.e., houses, lots, farms. But
the words mean more than that. A nation
has many "estates." Its "rial" esiate, how-
ever, the "estate" on which the very nation
itself is founded is its so-called real estate,
the ground, the soil.

The Germans call it "grund eigenthum"
or "ground ownership," possession of the
soil upon which you stand and live.

Soil, what it contains and what it pro-
duces, basically is the real wealth of the
nation. Only recently have we learned how
to conserve this wealth, and Maryland was
one of the first of the forty-eight states to
enact legislation to make effective such
conservation.

Legislature Acts

In 1937 Maryland agricultural leaders,
after conferences embodying the best agri-
cultural thought, including the State Uni-
versity Extension Service and Agricultural
Experiment Station, decided to ask the Gov-
ernor and the Legislature to consider a bill
to create soil conservation districts. The
Legislature looked upon the proposal so
favorably that it passed the Soil Conserva-
tion Districts Law without a dissenting vote.
As a result, what was thought at the time
might be an experiment, has proved an
ideal mechanism for soil conservation work
and has prevented waste of much of the
State's rich land.

The Law provides for local regulation
and control. It puts the job and the respon-
sibility in the hands of the land owners

and operators. It gives the
farmers a needed method
for working together. It en-
aliles them to meet a com-
munity problem with com-
munity action. The law
also provides a legally or-
ganized channel to coordin-
ate the activities of public
and private, local, state, and
federal agencies without du-
plication or overlapping,
without waste of effort or
funds.

The Soil Conservation
Districts Law passed by
Maryland in 1937 has pro-
duced in Maryland one of
the most effective examples
of democratic cooperation
that exists in America.

Under this law, Maryland
farmers have organized 22
soil conservation districts,
covering twenty-one of the
twenty-three counties of
the State. All these dis-
tricts are in operation.
Some are well along with
their jobs, others are just
getting started.

Unanimous Approval

The Maryland Legisla-
ture was unanimous in its
approval of the Soil Con-
servation Districts Law be-
cause many of its members
were farmers and they and
the agricultural leaders of
the State had already learned that educa-
tion was not enough to get the job
done. They knew that demonstrations, while
helpful, were inadequate because of the
magnitude and complexity of the total job.
Maryland had learned the bitter lesson, that
individual action on isolated farms was not

sufficient to meet the problem of soil ero-
sion. It had learned that erosion is no
respecter of fence lines of farm boundaries
and that, along with individual action, cora-
munitv action is necessary. Further, it knew
the highest type of technical advice and
action was needed. Maryland had learned
there is no standard remedy that can be
applied everywhere, because each acre of
land, like each human being, is different
from the next.

The public has a vested interest in its
soil resources, and thereby an obligation to
tance should be educational and technical,
assist the land owner. Obviously, that assis-
It should involve equipment and materials,
but should not take from the individual
land owner, nor from the community, the
responsibility for the job.

Maryland has six basic land areas: East-
ern Shore. Southern Maryland, Piedmont,
Great Valley, Potomac Section, and Middle
Vllegany Plateau. Conservation problems
are diversified. For example, on the Eastern
Shore two principal problems are construc-
tion of main outlet ditches, in cooperation
with local tax ditch associations, and im-
provement of individual farm drainage.
Throughout most of the rest of the slate the
main job is to prevent soil washing by
runoff rainwater.

Only Five Percent

Onl\ li\c percent of the land in Maryland
farms is suitable for cultivation without soil

conservation practices. Sixty-Six percent of
the land in farms is suitable for cultivation
if protected by erosion control practices, by
moisture conservation measures, or by drain-
age. An additional eight percent of the
farmland may be cultivated occasionally,
but is better adapted to the production of
perennial hay and grass. About 20 percent
of the farmland should be used only for
pasture or woods, while about one percent
is not suitable for farming, but may have
value for wildlife or recreational use.

Another major problem is adjustment to
bring about better land use. About eight
percent of the present cropland is better
adapted to permanent pasture or woodland
and should be converted to those uses.

These estimates are based on Soil Con-
servation Service Surveys covering more
than three million acres, or about 48 per-
cent of the land area of the State.

Maryland's soil-conservation-districts act
gave farmers authority to organize districts
as legal subdivisions of the state. It set up
a State Soil Conservation Committee under
the Board of Regents of the University
of Maryland and the Maryland State Board
of Agriculture. It directed the committee
to aid in formation of districts by farmers,
and to guide their operation. It set forth
procedures to lie followed, and defined the
functions and powers of district boards of
supervisors.

Educational Spark Plug

Soil conservation districts are organized
by the farmers through petition, public
hearing, and referendum, with the guidance
and help of the State Committee and the
Extension Service. The educational spark-
plug in organization and functioning of
districts is the county agricultural exten-
sion agent who, when the board of super-
visors takes office, usually acts as secretary.

The supervisors first prepare a conserva-
tion program for the district, a program
outlining the facts of the present and the
goals for the future. Along with the pro-
gram, they prepare a work plan, which
sets forth specific means of getting the job
done. Thus, farmers and their supervisors
representatives decide for themselves what
they want to do, and how to do it. Be-
cause they are working together in a co-
operative enterprise, they are able to launch
a constructive program that gets things
done. The program and the work plan
are the district's own guide to a better
future.

Because the problems of Maryland dis-
tricts are chiefly erosion control and farm-
land drainage, all have agreements with the
Soil Conservation Service of the U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture, the agency which
receives appropriations from the Congress
to give technical assistance to districts upon
request. Specialists in soil conservation and
land use are assigned to the board of super-
visors to provide technical aid to carry out
the district's program.

The district's programs are carried out
along clearly defined lines by the super-
visors. They coordinate the work of the
Extension Service, which contributes its
educational facilities and experience on
general agriculture, with the work of the
Soil Conservation Service technicians, who
help individual farmers to develop con-
servation plans for every acre and to in-
stall the practices on the land.

A RESERVOIR

No place for farmland.

Many other agencies, and numerous pri-
vate organizations contribute to the dis-
trict's program; the work is blended into
the overall plan of the supervisors who
actively manage and control the district's
affairs.

Maryland districts receive funds through
the State Committee by appropriation of
the State Legislature. In some instances,
county commissioners have voted funds,
chiefly for group enterprises, such as main
drainage outlets. Districts obtain the use of
equipment needed to carry out their pro-
gram from state and county highway de-
partments, the University, and the Soil
Conservation Service. Frequently, equip-
ment is purchased by the supervisors. Quite
often, the supervisors negotiate with pri-
vate contractors to provide equipment and
operators. In all instances, individual farm-
ers pay the district rental fees for equip-
ment used to install conservation practices
on their land.

Remarkable Progress

The farmer living in a soil conservation
district receives assistance on erosion control,
drainage and land use problems upon ap-
plication to the supervisors.

Service to the farmer-cooperator through
the district is limited only by his own re-
sources, the number of technicians and their
work load, and the amount of equipment
and other resorces available to the district.

Maryland districts have made remarkable
progress. Consider that districts were or-
ganized one by one. Between 1938 and
1941, 8 were formed. By 1944, 9 others
had been organized. Five more came into
being during 1945-46. Then, too, there
were shortages of equipment and man-
power during the war years. Despite these
factors, a magnificent beginning has been
made.

To date, the farmers and technicians in
districts have developed 3,686 conservation
farm plans, or 10 percent of the total job
on 14 percent of the acreage. Conserva-
tion plans have been carried out on 6 per-
cent of the farmland in districts. Each year
accomplishments are recorded at an ac-
celerating rate. For instance, the goal dur-
ing 1946 is to accomplish twice as much
soil conservation 1 as in any previous year.
The Harford County District supervisors

expect to complete 90 percent of their pro-
gram within 10 years.

What this means in terms of increased
production, without waste of soil resources,
is shown in the following figures on per-
acre yield increases reported by farmers:
corn, 25 per cent; tomatoes, 17 percent;
wheat, 18 percent; clover and timothy hay,
15 percent; alfalfa, 33 percent; pasture car-
rying capacity (animal units) 100 percent;
milk production, 23 percent. In general,
conservation farmers in districts find their
acre production goes up an average of 20
percent after a complete conservation plan
has been installed.

Accomplishments

Here are a few major accomplishments in
districts on individual farm practices
planned: contour strip cropping, 58,210
acres; pasture treatment, 76,061 acres; farm
drainage, 75,545 acres; reforestation, 5,730
acres.

A good start has been made on group
drainage enterprises. Thirteen such projects,
benefiting 19,482 acres on 143 farms, have
been completed. Drainage practices include
66 miles of ditches, 44 acres of bank man-
agement, and 730 acres cleared.

Results of drainage work are far-reaching.
For example, a survey of 67 farms in Caro-
line, Queen Anne. Kent and Somerset Coun-
ties showed that per-acre yields were
doubled after proper drainage. An addi-
tional benefit is that, through drainage,
pressure is removed from steeply rolling
lands better suited to pasture or hay, and
such lands can be taken out of row-crop
cultivation, to achieve better land use.

Virtually all agricultural, local, state and
Federal public forces and agencies in Mary-
land are worked together to get these re-
sults. In no other way could so eflective a
job have been done. And just as surelv as
great progress has been made, the farm
people and the State look ahead to an
expanded program which will, in its results,
be fully as significant.

Maryland presents its achievements in
meeting soil conservation problems as an
outstanding example of what can be accom-
plished by locally organized soil conserva-
tion districts with effective and wholehearted
cooperation between the Slate and Federal
Governments.

ENGINEERING AID TO AGRICULTURE

University of Maryland
offers Facilities for Train-
ing Students as Both Agri-
culturists and Engineers.

(By c4. V. Krewatcn

Extension Agriculture Engineer

DURING the war period, Maryland
farmers converted time into increased
production. They were asked to produce
more than ever before with less help, with
high-wage competition of industry, and
with less new machinery than was avail-
able before the war.

Much credit for this record accomplish-
ment goes to the farmers for their long
hours on the job and to their ingenuity in
utilizing and adapting the farm machinery
and electric equipment that was available
to them. Farm mechanization has advanced
so rapidly during the last few years that,
with new practices to be developed and new
machines to be perfected, one can no longer
think of the College of Agriculture, which
represents in its various departments a cross-
section of the agriculture of the State, with-
out realizing that there are engineering
aspects in nearly every phase of research,
teaching, and extension in every department
of the College of Agriculture.

500 Bushels A Day

and storing their own food supplies in

to t lie electrified equipment which does the
job of grinding and mixing while the
farmer does his chores. All of these accomp-

lishments are the results of new ideas in
mechanization, efficient arrangement of
equipment and buildings, and improved
methods.

The work of the departments of the Col-
lege of Agriculture are so closely interre-
lated that the staffs of each work as one in
their efforts to obtain a solution to a prob-
lem, improve a method, or develop a new
product or practice.

Mechanical Age

In this age of mechanization, farmers and
the major departments of the College of
Agriculture alike use the assistance of agri-
cultural engineers to put ideas into practice
or to conduct research projects in which
engineering plays an important part. Proj-
ects such as dehydration (whether it be hay,
grains, hybrid seed corn, fruits, or vegeta-
bles), concentrated sprays, maintaining
quality of eggs, cooling and storing poultry
products, sweet potato storages, food and
freezing work, developing tobacco harvest-
ing machinery, improving tobacco housing
methods and structures, home and farm
building modernization offer evidence of
this interrelation and cooperative effort be-
tween Agricultural Engineering and the
other departments.

Agricultural Engineering students in the
University of Maryland are trained in both
the fields of agriculture and engineering
and graduate with degrees from both col-
leges. A five-year course of study is re-
quired to complete this curriculum.

Farm machinery work, so important to
Agricultural Engineering teaching as well
as being in line with present farm mechani-
zation, covers all phases of application, ad-
justment, maintenance, and repair of the
major types of machinery used on Mary-
land farms. A farm machinery laboratory of
adequate size is a real need. This same labo-
ratory, once made available, would serve, in
addition to teaching needs, for Rural Elec-
trification short courses, 4-H Club training
schools, tractor schools, and demonstration
of equipment and labor-saving operations
to the farm people at times of meetings or
individual visits.

Farm mechanics training requires a farm-
type shop with adequate benches and tools
for laboratory work. Classrooms where
equipment can be conveniently brought be-
fore classes for good method demonstration
teaching are essential for effective instruc-
tion.

Farm buildings, gas engines, tractors, and
farm drainage all have their place in the
teaching program along with the major
courses in Agriculture, Arts and Sciences,
and Engineering, both basic and applied.

The Agricultural Engineering Depart-
ment was established in 1918 with one man.
In 1946, five persons were doing their best
to meet the needs in research, teaching, and
extension in the fields of farm structures,
home and farm electrification, farm ma-
chines and power equipment, land drain-
age, crop processing and storages, home
utilities, fire prevention, farm safety, and
improved labor-saving methods and devices.

The growth of this department of the
College of Agriculture is naturally to be
expected if the college is to keep pace with
the rapid mechanical advancement in the
various fields of the farming industry.

Must Keep Pace

In this postwar period, engineering appli-
cations will have to prove their worth. The
facilities and staff of the College as a whole
must be prepared to keep abreast of new
developments.

Among the most immediate and pressing
problems will be those of cutting produc-
tion costs. Farm prices can be expected to
drop. If production efficiency can be made
to keep pace with price reductions, the
farmers may lose but little net income.

Many factors can contribute to keeping
farm income up. Carefully planned and
organized marketing programs are essential.
However, time- and labor-saving equipment
and practices will be equally important and
will represent a vital factor in successful
conduct of the big business of farming.

EXTENSION SERVICE IN WARTIME JOB

HOW to produce more food with less
labor was one of the many baffling
wartime problems dropped into the lap of
the Extension Service of the College of
Agriculture.

Wartime demands for food were insati-
able. There was a huge army and navy
to feed. Our lighting allies needed all the
food we could send them and, with more
money in their pockets, American con-
sumers demanded more food, too. Yet the
farmers' labor supply had marched off to
war or to work in war plants. Machinery
to replace hand labor was not available,
either.

Yet, somehow, Maryland farmers rose to
the occasion. Rallied by Extension workers
and farm leaders, they turned out 40 per-
cent more food with 30 percent less labor.
They worked longer hours. Their wives
and daughters pitched in and helped. They
exchanged labor and machinery. They de-
vised all sorts of short cuts and labor-
saving techniques. They reached a new
high in efficiency.

War Took Usual Workers

Most farmers could find the means of
getting the crops planted and cultivated.
To get them harvested was the real prob-
lem. It was then that large crews of labor
were required. These had formerly come
from the small villages and the towns
or had migrated northward with the ad-
vancing seasons from southern states. These
workers had been lured by higher wages
into war plants and there were no adequate
replacements.

In the spring of 1943 the farmers were
urged by Uncle Sam to plant huge crops
and to raise record numbers of livestock.
They were assured that the necessary har-
vest labor would be provided by the Ex-
tension Service which was then charged
with that responsibility by the Federal
Congress.

Labor assistants were employed to help
the County Agents. Committees of ingen-
ious farmers were appointed by County
Agents to help them. These were later
incorporated into cooperative Farm Labor
associations. They devised ways and means
of making available supplies of labor more

effective. They advised Selective Service
Boards as to essential workers to be de-
ferred from military service. They deter-
mined the minimum numbers of extra
workers needed from outside the county
and made certified requests for these to
the Extension Service, which was in charge
of organizing and administering the Farm
Labor ProgTam throughout the state.

Every available worker was mobilized to
meet the needs. Various new sources of
emergency labor were tapped. Boys and
girls and women vacationists were recruited
from towns and cities. Part-time services
of townspeople in harvest emergencies were
arranged for. Soldiers and sailors on leave
were employed. Colored workers were im-
ported from Jamaica, the Bahamas and the
Barbados Islands. German prisoners of war
were utilized. Every effort was made to
stimulate greater numbers of colored work-
ers to migrate from southern areas. Con-
scientious objectors were utilized. A small
number of workers were imported from
Newfoundland. Inmates of Maryland penal
camps were also employed on farms. No
potential source of labor was left untapped.

Public Camps Established

Farmers were encouraged to improve
their tenant houses as quarters for labor.
To supplement these, public camps were
built or arranged for.

These included nine camps for boys and
girls, one for women vacationists, four for
southern migrants, nine for labor imported
from abroad, sixteen for German prisoners
of war, five for conscientious objectors and
three for Maryland penal inmates — a total
of forty-seven camps.

An emergency labor force of more than
12,000 was mobilized in the years 1944

and 1945, including 2,900 foreign workers,
4.100 German prisoners of war, 2,200 migra-
tory workers and 2.200 from miscellaneous
sources.

With the ending of the war, abnormal
needs for food continued, and with them,
needs continued for labor not available
locally. Former farm workers did not re-
turn fr»m war plants or from the armed
services and a "tapered off" program was
conducted in 1946 and is planned for 1947.

EXTENSION SERVICE

The Extension Service of the College of
Agriculture, as it operates today, is in large
measure the result of planning and direc-
tion by one man. From the beginning of
Federal-State cooperative extension work in
agriculture and home economics in 1914,
Dr. T. B. Symons has been director. His
service to the agriculture and rural people
of the State is for even a longer period.

Dr. Symons is strictly a Maryland prod-
uct, coming from a farm on the Eastern
Shore. His entire life has been spent in
this State.

Starting as an entomologist following his
graduation from the Maryland Agricul-
tural College in 1902, his ability for leader-
ship and organization soon came to the
front. As State Entomologist during a
period when San Jose scale threatened the
orchard industry of Maryland, he developed
spraying demonstrations throughout the
State. So successful was his work that he
became a leader in developing the horti-
cultural interests and was made secretary
of the newly formed State Horticultural
Society", an organization of fruit growers
that is still a vital force in the State.

Dr. Symons was made Dean of the School
of Horticulture in the Maryland Agricul-
tural College in 1912 and continued to be
active in affairs over the State, along with
li is instructional work.

Enactment of the Smith-Lever law in
1914, establishing the Extension Service at
Land-Grant' colleges, gave him the oppor- '
tunity for which his qualifications and in-
clination especially fitted him. He was
made Director of the Maryland Extension
Service and assumed the big task of develop-

National Dairy Cattle Show in Waterloo, Iowa. Front row: William Hill of Woodbine, Richard Holter of
Middletown, and James Galbreath of Street. Back row: Allen Hill, alternate, of Woodbine, Bradley Jones,
assistant county agent in Frederick county and Professor Floyd J. Arnold, University of Maryland, coacn

ing that line of work. There were prac-
tically no trained workers in that field,
facilities were limited, and there were few
precedents by which to chart a course.
Under his direction an extension force and

methods of teaching have been developed
that are outstanding for efficiency and
effectiveness.

As the organizing and directing head of
this work, Dr. Symons has been accorded
national, as well as state recognition. For
a number of years he served as chairman
of the Extension Committee on Organiza-
tion and Policy of the Land-Grant College
Association, which is the committee that
formulates the general policies to be fol-
lowed in extension work in all states.

In 1937, he was made Acting Dean of
the College of Agriculture, and in 1939.
he was appointed Dean.

In whatever he engages, he becomes an
active force, and he always finds a way to
take on an extra job when he is convinced
there is need for it. As a result of his
willingness to serve, he has constantly car-
ried on a number of activities, which for
most people would be full-time jobs.

Dr. Symons organized the Maryland State
Department of Markets in 1918 and has
been a leader in developing cooperative
marketing in Maryland. He is secretary of
the Maryland Agricultural Society and has
been a member of numerous state com-
mittees having functions connected with
agriculture. During both world wars, he
was asked to assume important responsibil-
ities associated with agriculture's contribu-
tion to the war effort. At present, he is
chairman of the State Soil Conservation
Committee, under which practically all
counties have been organized into districts
for carrying out effective conservation
measures.

Many outstanding honors, both state and
national, have come to him through the
\cars, including the distinguished Service
Award for Conspicuous Service to Agri-
culture, conferred by the American Farm
bureau Federation at its annual convention
in Chicago, 1946.

WARTIME PRODUCTION

Maryland farmers very nearly accom-
plished the impossible by increasing farm

production by more than 40 per cent during
the war period.

This fact was revealed by A. B. Hamilton
of the University of Maryland in a report
of the Agricultural Economics Department
on the 1945 agricultural census. He points
out that the increase was accompanied In
some shifts in the farm production. The
acreage in soy beans and tomatoes increased
considerably due to the wartime demand,
while the production of milk, eggs, vege-
tables, tobacco, and feed crops continued
the increase begun before the war. The
largest increase in production came in the-
number of chickens raised with the 1945
figure being 23 million more than that of
1940.

"These increases in production," Hamil-
ton said, "were made in spite of shortages
in labor, machinery, and farm supplies.
Milk and egg production increased 18 and
22 per cent respectively while snap beans
increased 65 per cent; corn acreage, 55 per
cent; and tomatoes, 28 per cent.

The report also shows that the number of
farms operated in Maryland decreased about
two per cent, but that the total number
of acres cultivated increased — thus indicat-
ing that farmers have increased the size of
their farms by combining one or more
farms into a single unit.

About the only decrease in production
came in fruit. There was a seven per cent
decrease in the amount <>f land in orchards,
and the number of apple trees and peach
trees each declined about two pei cent.

CANNERS AND FREEZERS

I he short course at the University of
Maryland for representatives of canning
and freezing concerns took place from
February II to 13. Sponsored by the De-
partment of Horticulture in cooperation
with the Instate Packers' Association, the
course has been a part of the department's
extension program for nearly 25 years. It
is designed to give the field men and plant
si.ills of the canning and freezing indusin
tip-to-date information on all phases of
crop production and harvesting.

One day of the 1947 program was de-
voted to each of the three major canning
(tops produced in Maryland: tomatoes,
green beans, and peas.

Another feature of the meeting was an
exhibit of machinery for spraying or dust-
ing tomatoes. This exhibit was planned
in response to the interest on the part of
Maryland tomato growers whose 1946 crop
suffered the worst damage ever experienced
from late blight. Many of the growers arc
making plans to attempt control of the
disease by spray or dust applications during
the coming season.

Dr. E. P. Walls of the Horticultural De-
partment was in charge of making arrange-
ments for the three clay session. Other Uni-
versity of Maryland speakers to appear on
the program were Professor F. C. Stark, Jr.,
Drs. C. E. Cox. L. E. Scott, L. P. Ditman,

MARYLAND MAKES PLANT IMPROVEMENTS

Dramatic Achievements in
Hybrid Corn Accom-
plished at University of
Maryland

(By c4lbin 0. J4ukn

Professor, Agronomy

A MILLION and a half bushels of corn
added annually to feed supplies is the
gain to Maryland farmers from the most
dramatic achievement in plant improvement
during the past decade — the development of
hybrid corn.

When research workers discovered the
breeding techniques that made hybrid corn
practical and proved that good hybrids not
only produce 15 to 20 percent more corn
per acre than the varieties formerly grown,
but also stand up better to allow the use
ol machinery for harvest, it was clear that
hybrid corn was here to stay. Thus this
native American plant, long valued for its
efficiency in transforming nutrients into
food for humans and feed for livestock,
became even more firmly entrenched as the
backbone of American agriculture.

Alert To Problems

The University of Maryland Agronomy
Department, alert to advancements in the
production of corn, the crop that is grown
on more acres, produces more food energy
per acre, and has a higher farm value than
any other feed crop grown in Maryland,
early recognized the importance of bring-
ing good corn hybrids to the attention of
Maryland farmers. The program which was
developed to introduce hybrid corn to Free
State agriculture represented a coordinated
attack on the problem by the workers of
the Experiment Station, the Extension Serv-
ice and the College of Agriculture.

The degree of success attained in this
endeavor may be judged first by the fact
that the proportion of the corn acreage
planted to hybrids increased more rapidly
in Maryland than in any adjoining state
and, secondly, by the following tabulation
showing the rapidity with which hybrids
replaced "old type corn" in the state:

Percent Field Corn
Average Planted
Year to Hybrid

1937 0.5

1940 14.5

1943 45.0

1946 75.0

Hybrid sweet corn, like hybrid field corn,
is widely used and has contributed in no
small measure to holding the Old Line
State's position as the fifth largest producer
of sweet corn for canning. The Agronomy
Department has been charged with the re-
sponsibility of evaluating hybrids of both
types. In this connection Experiment Sta-
tion workers during the past 16 years con-
ducted more than 80 replicated performance
tests in which the better sweet and field
corn hybrids and varieties were compared.

A GREAT ACHIEVEMENT

scrawny inbreds and in Dr. Rothgeb's hand the hybrid that results when these two inbreds are crossed.

Over 1800 hybrid seed stocks collected from
various corn growing areas of the United
States were compared under the varying soil
and climatic conditions of this state and the
best ones selected for Maryland farmers. In
addition to this testing the Experiment Sta-
tion implemented a breeding program to
develop new hybrids specificially adapted
to Maryland conditions.

Demonstrations

Extension Service workers assumed their
usual task of carrying the information de-
veloped by the Experiment Station to the
farmers. Several methods were used to see
that Maryland farmers had ample oppor-
tunity to get acquainted with the hybirds
available. Demonstrations were conducted
in every county of the state for several
years. These demonstrations allowed a
farmer to inspect the better hybrids growing
on a farm in his county. Field meetings
were held in which the County Agent in-
vited farmers to visit the county demon-
stration on the day of harvest. Winter
meetings were held in many counties to
discuss the "What and How" of hybrid
corn. Color slides were used in these meet-
ings to show the various steps in producing
a hybrid. Information was supplied to
farmers desiring to produce hybrid seed
corn so that they might do a good job. This
was particularly important due to the com-
plicated procedures involved in hybrid seed
production as compared to other field crop
seeds.

in cooperation with the Extension Service
and the Maryland Crop Improvement Asso-
ciation, provided an inspection and certifi-
cation service to aid farmers in producing
good hybrid seed corn and as a protection
to purchasers of seed. The success of this
program is illustrated by the fact that in
1945 more hybrid seed corn was produced
in Maryland than was needed to plant the
state corn acreage.

Fundamental knowledge of hybrid corn
has become an important part of the Crop
Production course, which all agricultural
students at the University of Maryland take,
and in the Cereal Crop and Crop Breed-
ing courses taken by majors in Agronomy.
Thus the graduates in Agriculture have had
an opportunity to become acquainted with
hybrid corn and have been given the know-
ledge with which to aid agricultural think-
ing in the change to hybrid corn.

New type sprayers now being considered
by fruit growers include a liquid-blast type,
a combination blast and liquid blower, a
fog machine which uses oil and chemicals
at high temperatures, and airplane dusting.

I I has been conservatively estimated that
as many at 15 thousand Maryland dairy
cows are discarded every year because of
diseases. These cows if protected from dis-
ease could have produced 75 million lbs. of
milk under proper management.

UNIVERSITY RENDERS AID TO RURAL WOMEN

Classes at University plus
Demonstrations do Much
to Aid Entire Farm Family.

/By. Jtidd Vera r\ellar

Assistant Director of Extension.

FARMING differs from most all other
kinds of business and the professions
in that the whole family is involved. There
is no way to entirely separate the farm
as a place to make a living and as a place
for the family to live and develop.

This fact was recognized at the time
the Smith-Lever Law, providing for co-
operative Federal-State extension work, was
enacted. It provided
for extension edu-
cation in both agri-
culture and home
economics. Hence,
the home demon-
stration work in
Maryland has been
associated with the
College of Agricul-
ture.

As developed in
this State, Home
Demonstration Ex-
tension is a public
educational service
...■i rural people. It is a teaching job
that is outside the research laboratories
and class rooms, and beyond college and
school walls. It is a program of teaching
(hat the Home Demonstration Agents con-
duct for the betterment of homemaking and
rural life.

ON THEIR WAY TO CLASSES

Rural women enroute to University of Maryland short course.

MISS KELLAR

This unique job of teaching is done
through practical demonstrations and other
techniques with persons in the homes and
in organized clubs — both adults and juniors.
Such an educational program helps people
to help themselves. It makes people de-
sirous of guidance and subject-matter as-
sistance. Because farming is both a busi-
ness and way of life, the teaching has
emphasized not only economic production,
conservation and utilization of all crops and
livestock, but nutrition and health needs,
and many forms of farm home improve-
ment.

The objectives of Home Demonstration
work in Maryland are to encourage stand-
ard of living for all rural and urban fam-
ilies as follows:

A program that will help give families

WELCOME TO MARYLAND

Dr. H. C. Byrd welcomes students at University rural women's short course

a feeling of security, economically and
socially.

Help rural families keep informed on all
the findings of research in Agriculture and
Home Economics that will influence their
well-being; teach through the demonstra-
tion method the better ways of doing tasks
that must be done every day on every farm
and in every farm home.

Encourage the raising of sufficient food
and its preservation, so that rural families
may attain a high standard of good health.

Teach the cultural side of homemaking
and family living as well as the practical
side.

Encourage, through group instruction,
leadership and ability to do things
efficiently.

One of the most important objectives is
to encourage the rural family to believe
in the home, the earthly abode of the fam-
ily; its responsibilities, spiritual, physical
and mental. To believe in the rural home
as a place, under God's guidance, for rest,
privacy, security, hospitality, cultural and
personal treasures, honesty, loyalty and love
of the family for the family. A love of
rural life with honest work and recreation,
and the habit of finding enjoyment in
familiar tilings are likely to help rural
families hold on to traditions that have
made men and women great.

In order to carry on such a program the
Home Demonstration Department employs
specialists in Foods and Nutrition, Home
Furnishings, Clothing and Home Manage-
ment. The state staff, with the county staff
of 23 Home Demonstration Agents and
assistants, and project chairmen, plan a
program to fit the needs and the desires of
homemakers in the different counties. It is
a democratic way of planning and executing
a program that is helpful in building for
better home life. In order to do this the
leaders in the community are asked to meet
with other leaders and the Home Agent
to plan the best procedure in teaching
different projects.

It has been found that the best method
to do a good teaching job is to organize

the women into clubs. It gives an oppor-
tunity for group discussions, as well as
reaching a larger number of people. Project
Demonstrator Training Schools are held for
project demonstrators who are willing to
give their time and talents in assisting the
Home Demonstration Agents to reach more
people with their Home Demonstration
program. Rural people are helped to see
their basic problems and to arrive at some
of the solutions, where their problems are —
in the home, on the farm and in the com-
munity. Their program is a flexible one and
changes may be made. Extension teaching
is the type that seeks to solve problems
at hand but aims also toward long-time
goals for better rural living. It is educa-
tion for action — action by individuals to-
ward improving farm and home life.

The Home Demonstration Agent

The Home Demonstration Agent is a
teacher. Unlike the usual teacher, how-
ever, she works not in a class room, but in
the home and the community. Rural
women and girls have come to expect in
their program in Maryland not only the
findings of research as they apply to home-
making, but assistance with many other
problems that affect the well-being and
happiness of their family. Although they
^tudy foods and nutrition, clothing, home
management, home furnishings, child care
and family life, they are also concerned
with problems in the field of health, citi-
zenship, economics, government and rural
cultural arts.

Rural Leadership

In Maryland, the development of a pro-
gram of rural leadership has been perhaps
the greatest single achievement of the pres-
ent Extension program. It has not been an
easy task. Training schools and seeing
projects put into practice in individual
homes is one thing — finding and training
volunteer leaders and inspiring them to give
time and effort to help others is another.
We have been fortunate in the growth of
voluntary leadership in the Home Demon-
stration program the past few years.
Through it all, the leader recognizes a few
cardinal principles in working with other
leaders. She has learned that all people
operate best through some kind of club
organization, that leaders must be accepted
by the club with which they are to work,
and that the best leadership and results
are from leaders actually chosen by their
own groups. As the years progress and
leaders increase in number among both
women and girls, the Agent has been able

to turn more and more to them for as-
sistance in Home Demonstration Club work.

Leader training subject-matter schools
and schools in organization have been held
in all Maryland counties. The specialists
conduct practically all of the subject-matter
training schools. Through training schools
and the home visits made by the Agent,
the leader acquires a new confidence in her
own ability to pass on instruction; also,
she gains in prestige, which she needs for
neighbors to acknowledge her leadership.
The number of subject-matter leaders in a
club varies with the need of the com-
munity, the interest of the women and the
type of program they are undertaking.

Home Demonstration Clubs

In every community and in every county
the work of the Home Demonstration Clubs
has added strength and prestige to home
and community activities. These clubs have
been a natural outgrowth of the rural
women's own thinking. Their influence is
widespread. Their time of meeting is
varied. The pattern followed generally is
one meeting a month with the Home
Demonstration Agent and once a month
with the project demonstrators. Most meet-
ings are held in homes. Home Demonstra-
tion Chilis, aside from their regular club
activities, assume many responsibilities of

social programs for their entire community.
They work toward obtaining health ser-
vices for all the families; they interpret
legislation that has a bearing on family
and community life; they may support plans
for county and community libraries so that
more books are made available to the com-
munity. They are back of many move-
ments and community improvements in-
volving the good of the church, the school,
and all the citizenry. As a result, the in-
fluence of their work extends far beyond
their membership.

Home Demonstration Agents cooperate
with representatives of many other agen-
cies sponsoring educational programs in
rural areas. They publicize other measures
sponsored by local and county health units,
and programs that are carried on by or-
ganizations such as the Grange, Farm Bu-
reau and Parent Teachers' organizations.

In Maryland, we feel that along with the
practical side of homemaking, a program
in cultural subjects is essential for the
building of family and community rela-
tionships. We have, over a period of years,
carried a well-organized, outlined program
in the cultural subjects; such as, music,
reading, art, dramatics, and recreation. Most
county libraries have cooperated in the
reading project. Some libraries, such as
Hagerstown and two or three others, have

what they call the "Homemakers" Book

Shelf." The librarian will meet with the
project leaders in this project, instruct than
how best to give hook reviews, tell them
what hooks to read and give Other helpful
suggestions. We have seen more leadership
developed through the cultural projects
than we have seen developed in practically
any other project carried in extension work.
Our recreation project has cemented the
work in dramatics and other cultural sub-
jects. W'c do not think of recreation being
a light or frivolous play program.

The "Mrs. Consumer Speaks" program
has had its place in challenging the mind
of the homemakers along the lines of home
equipment, clothing, how they want their
family fed and how they want their home
furnished. The remodeling or building
of the new home has given them a chance
to express their knowledge of the subjects
and at the same time serve as an outlet
for their ideals and dreams of the things
that they would like to have for the- money
they have to spend.

Rural Women's Short Course

One of the finest things that Home
Demonstration work has done in Maryland
is to plan and carry through the Rural
Women's Short Course, which is an annual
feature at the University during the third
week of June. During the war, this Short
Course was abandoned. In 1040. we again
held it for the first time in five years and
over 1 .000 women attended.

This week at the University means much
to all of the women who attend. There
is definite appreciation on the part of the
University Faculty that the women who
attend are the mothers of boys and girls
who furnish the students to the University
throughout the year. Therefore, members
of the faculty are willing to cooperate and
there is no question of the value to Home-
makers and their value to the University.
Ninety-five percent of the women attend-
ing the Short Course are women in Home-
makers' clubs. They come for the purpose
of getting what they can from the course
and are willing to carry back to their com
mnnitics the information obtained during

their week at the University. 1 he program

is so planned that every homemaker at-
tending gets something that is an inspira-
tion, practical, cultural and helpful in
(hanging the home life of the rural and
urban homemaker. It gives them a new
insight of what education means. It gives
them an opportunity for development of
leadership and a broader vision of what
lies ahead in adult education.

Good Speakers

()nl\ the finest speakers are employed
throughout the week. Women are encour-
aged to register tor the classes they are to
attend before coming to the University.
I hose who register for full time live on
the campus and in nearby fraternity and
sorority houses. This adds to their college
life and gives them a greater appreciation
of what their daughters and sons enjoy
when they go to college. Main of the
women attending this Short Course are
women who have been former graduates of
the University of Maryland, as well as grad-
uates of other colleges. The greatest num
bcr attending are women who are high
school graduates.

Short Course is planned in Maryland on
a basis of a four-year program. In this way
the women look forward to their goal of
attending for four years. This plan also
cements interest in the program at the
University as well as creates interest back
home in their communities, for most of
the women have a desire to come for four
years and receive a certificate which is
awarded them by the President of the
University.

It has been gratifying to see how leader-
ship has grown among the women. It is
one week in the lives of the homemakers
that cannot be measured in dollars and
cents. What they get in inspiration, vision
and self-confidence from women all over
the state serves for years .is a new outlook
on life. What they take to their homes and
to their respective clubs through reports and
demonstrations to fellow club members cre-
ates a feeling of friendship and interest
among all homemakers. One has as her re-
ward for planning this Short Course the

appreciation of the women themselves. The)
bring to the University a spirit that is
challenging to all.

County Councils And State Council

In each county the- individual Home-
makers' Club is a member of the County
Council. With this type of organization,
the Home \gent. whether she be old oi
new in the county, has a group of organ
i/eel women who aie interested in Extension
to help guide her in county activities. The
Executive Hoard of each County Council
holds regular meetings to help clarify indi-
vidual club activities and to take on new
responsibilities that are county projects;
such as. scholarship loans, health projects,
wartime programs, etc I he County Coun-
cils are federated into a State Council of
Homemakers. which is a most active, efficient
and influential group of thinking women.
Twice a year a meeting is held by the
Executive Board and County Council Presi-
dents of this group. At such a meeting
county problems and reports of activities
are brought before the entire group. The
State Project Chairmen present, largely, the
different projects as outlined by the spe-
cialists throughout the year. The special-
ists at the University and state project
chairmen work together closely in outlin-
ing state programs. The women feel the)
hold an important part in carrying on the
Extension program. They assume their re-
sponsibilities seriously and the contribu-
tions they make are challenging to everyone.

Demonstration Work

Home Demonstration work with its dif-
ferent projects, its democratic way of
teaching and reaching the rural homes,
has done much to change liying standards
in urban and rural homes and to bring
about a higher appreciation of the prac-
tical and cultural sides of family living.
The Home Demonstration Agent keeps
pace with current developments, adapting
Iter service and programs to changing eco-
nomic and social conditions that allec t
urban and rural people, so as to carry
out a program based on needs recogni/ed
by the homemakers themselves.

RURAL WOMEN'S COURSE

Dates for the 21st Annual Rural Women's
Short Course have been set for June Hi
to 21. according to an announcement made
by Yenia M. {Cellar, Assistant Director of
the Extension Sen ice at the University of
Maryland.

"Hans now unci' rway assure- a program
that is to be just as good as any we have
presented in past vears." Miss Kellar said
in discussing the coming event which is
expected to attract over 1 .000 rural women.

HAY CROP

\ccording to the United States Depart-
ment of Agriculture the hay crop is the
most important harvested forage and can
be made at comparatively small expense.
In discussing the crop a recent publication
of the Agricultural department said: "Be-
tween 1928 and 1937 the hay crop had an
annual value greater than that of cotton or
wheat or any other crop except corn." The
department also added that "crops unsuit-
able for hay ma\ be made into silage, and
almost any forage crop can be ensiled in
weather unsuitable for haymaking.

REMARKABLE GROWTH 01 BROILER INDUSTRY

Poultry Activity Shows
Great Increase and ad-
vance over Previous
Achievements

J&y Jbr. .Morleij c4. $ull

Head of Poultry Department, University of Maryland

DURING recent years the commercial
production of broilers and fryers on
the Eastern Shore of Maryland has gained
such prominence that there is widespread
interest in commercial broiler and fryer
production methods. A favorable climate
for year-round production, relatively cheap
labor, sandy loam soil, and being within
over-night shipping distance for trucking
live broilers without excessive shrinkage, or
fresh-dressed broilers, to the New York
City market are among the most important
factors that ha\e led to rapid expansion
of the so-called broiler industry.

Broilers are \oung chickens, approxi-
mately 8 to 12 yseeks old, weighing not over
2i/2 pounds eai.h when dressed for market.
Fryers are usually from about 13 to 20
weeks of age, weighing over 2i/2, but not
more than 31/4 pounds each when dressed
for market. Roasters vary in age from about
4 to 9 months and weigh over 3i/> pounds
when dressed for market. Live broilers
may weigh up to about 2 >/, pounds each,
live fryers up to about 4 pounds each, and
live roasters from about 4 pounds each up-
wards. In the early days of the develop-
ment of the commercial broiler industry
on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, most
of the chickens were sold at 2 to 2i/9
pounds live weight so that the industry
was properlv (ailed a broiler industry.
More recently, however, the tendency has
been to market live birds weighing up-
wards of 3 pounds each, and in some cases
larger birds, so that the industry is really
a broiler and fryer industry.

Rapid Expansion

The rapid expansion of the "broiler"
industry on the Eastern Shore of Maryland
is indicated by the fact that the number
of birds grown annually increased from
about 2 million in 1934 to about 25 million
in 1945. From 1934 to 1940 there was a
steady increase each year in numbers pro-
duced, but the 1940 number of about 9
million, increased in 1941 to about 15 mil-
lion. During the war period there was very
heavy demand for broilers and fryers to
serve as substitutes for red meats, which
were in such short supply for civilian
consumption.

In 1945 the gross income from the poultry
of Maryland was S48,069,000, this sum ex-
ceeding the gross income from any other
branch of agriculture in the state. The
"broiler" industry contributed $25,178,000,
thus being responsible for more than one-
half of the total poultry income.

The hatcherv industry has expanded. In
keeping with the growth of the broiler in-
dustry, there has been a marked increase in

the number of baby chicks
hatched annually in
Maryland hatcheries. In
1938 Maryland had about
137 hatcheries with a
hatching egg capacity of
about 5 million eggs and
these hatcheries produced
about 15,212,000 chicks. In
1945, there were about
123 hatcheries with about
13 million hatching egg
capacity and they pro-
duced about 73,750,000
chicks.

Market egg production
is important. The pro-
duction of market eggs is
the second most important
branch of the poultry in-
dustry in Maryland. The
gross income from market
eggs produced in 1945 was
S12,902,000. Approximate-
ly 3 million laying hens
are maintained on farms
and commercial poultry
plants.

There are over 35,000 farmers in Mary-
land engaged in the potdtry business. On
the great majority of these farms, poultry
raising and egg production supplement
ether farm operations. At the same time,
on about 10.000 farms the laying flock
contains 100 or more layers. There are
1 ,000 commercial flocks in the state.

Maryland is noted for its turkeys. For
many years Maryland turkeys have been
featured on the menus of the leading hotels
and restaurants of the East. In 1945, they
contributed S2.900.000 in gross income.
Turkey breeders in the state, through selec-
tion and breeding, have accomplished much
in developing broad-breasted birds, efficient
in the utilization of feed and having a high
percentage of breast and leg meat in pro-
portion to bone.

SOYBEAN VARIETIES

Soybean varieties to be recommended to
Maryland farmers have been listed by Albin
O. Kuhn, Associate Agronomist at the Uni-
versity of Maryland, who urged farmers to
get their seed early while supplies of the
recommended varieties are still adequate.

"The black seeded soybeans we recom-
mend are Wilson and Kingwa," he said.
"These are usually grown for forage while
the yellow seeded soybeans, which are
Lincoln, Scioto, Illini, and Earlyana, are
usually grown for oil production."

He explained that the Wilson and King-
wa varieties need long growing seasons if
they are to produce seeds and that their
small stems and tall growth habit make
them better for forage than any of the
yellow seeded varieties. The Kingwa was
described as retaining its leaves later in the
season.

The yellow seeded Lincoln was said to
be receiving more attention from farmers

this year than any other variety. It is a
relatively new variety released in 1944 b\
the Illinois Agricultural Experiment Sta-
tion. Since that time it has become the most
widely grown medium season soybean vari-
ety in the United States, and has given good
yields with early maturity and high oil
content. It has also shown good resistance
to shattering, according to the Agronomist.

He noted that approximately 700 acres
of Lincoln soybeans were inspected for cer-
tification during the past growing season
and that more than 2.000 bushels of seed
had already been processed and have re-
ceived the official blue certification tag and
seal. According to Kuhn, Lincoln and Wil-
son soybeans will be more readily available
than any of the other varieties recom-
mended.

Kuhn also stated that the Illini, another
medium season yellow bean recommended
for Maryland, has shown itself to be par-
ticularly adapted to high fertility condi-
tions, but that it matures about a week later
than Lincoln. Scioto, which also matures
about a week later than Lincoln, has given
good results and has a high oil content.

The only early season soybean to be re-
commended for Maryland is the Earlyana.
This variety matures about two weeks ahead
of Lincoln, but as is common with early
maturing varieties, it is a poorer yielder.

Electric toys, like other electrical devices,
are safe if they are well made and kept in
good condition.

Proper care and use of electrical cords
and equipment is just as important as cor-
rect installation of the electrical system.
Allowing cords and equipment to get into
poor condition may cause short circuits and
fires.

HEADS STATE GRANGE

Edward F. Holter, Maryland '21, is starting his
second year as Master of the Maryland State
Grange. Prior to his election to that office he was
secretary of the organization for 10 years.

Mr. Holter operates a farm in Frederick county
and taught agriculture in the high school at Fred-
erick until last year.

MARKETING

Marketing, which has taken a back seat
in recent years, is destined to play a very
important part in the future agricultural
activities of the University. A strong, com-

J. HOMER REMSBERG

J. Homer Remsberg, Maryland '18, has been
engaged since graduation in farming and breeding
Holstein-Friesian cattle, with the exception of a
period spent in service during World War I.

In addition to operating his farm in Frederick
county, he taught vocational agriculture in the
Middletown high school for a number of years.

Mr. Remsberg is prominent in promoting the
Holstein breed of cattle, both locally and na-
tionally. He is a member of the board of direc-
tors of the Holstein-Friesian Association of America
and chairman of one of the most important com-
mittees of that organization. During the last few
years he has served as president of the Maryland
Holstein - Friesian Association, president of the
Maryland Purebred Dairy Cattle Association, and
chairman of the Holstein Bull Committee for the
Maryland Artificial Breeding Cooperative. He has
also been instrumental in furthering the develop-
ment of many good Holstein herds in his area.

A book written by Mr. Remsberg and published
by the Frederick County Holstein Association dur-
ing the past year has received wide acclaim by
breeders who appreciate what an organization can
do to develop the dairy industry in a county. The
title is "History and Development of Holstein
Cattle in Frederick County, Maryland." Mr. Rems-
berg is a member of the Board of Managers,

market that is expected to develop. Dr. T.
B. Symons, Dean of Agriculture, to whom
much of the credit must go for the present
emphasis on improving marketing service
to Maryland farmers has said that market-
ing is the most important problem facing
American agriculture today and that it is
the key to farm prosperity.

The agricultural marketing program for
Maryland was started off this fall by setting
up the State Department of Marketing as
a separate department with the responsi-
bility for planning and developing all
phases of the program for improving the
efficiency of marketing and distributing
farm products. Dr. Howard L. Stier who
was appointed Head of the new department
was selected because of his background and
experience in research on production prob-
lems of the state and his broad war-time
experience with the procurement and dis-
tribution of food while in the Quarter-
master Corps of the Army. Since his ap-
pointment on September 1, 1946, Dr. Stier
and the other members of the department
have been rapidly developing plans, and
meeting with agricultural leaders of the
state in developing an effective program to
aid the farmer with his marketing problems.

Harry M. McDonald, Maryland '20, is State Super-
visor ot Vocational Agriculture. He was appointed
to that position on July I, 1944.

After teaching agriculture and coaching athletics
for 2 years, Mr. McDonald earned his M. A. de-
gree at Columbia University. He then taught agri-
culture in Frederick county for 8 years and was

county for 14 years before entering upon his present
position. He has also taken graduate work at the
Universities of Chicago, Wisconsin, and Johns
Hopkins.

who attended these meetings were particu-
larly constructive and helpful in develop-
ing the final program. During the months
of October and November, separate meet-
ings were held with the dairymen, poultry-
men, fruit growers, vegetable growers, can-
ners and florists of the state. A separate
plan is being prepared for the study of the
important marketing problems of these and
other producer groups in the state.
Throughout the development of the new
marketing program for Maryland agricul-
ture, emphasis has been placed upon the
importance of a close working relationship
between the marketing department and all
other departments. Voluntary and dy-
namic cooperation of all agencies and de-
partments is recognized as essential if the
marketing and distribution of farm pro-
ducts is to catch up to production in the
race for greater efficiency and lower costs.
Education, research and service have all
been simultaneously woven into the pattern
of marketing assistance that is planned for
Maryland's agriculture. Every attempt has
been made to make the maximum use of
experience gained by industry and others in
marketing and merchandising. Wholesalers,
retailers and consumers are all to be
brought into the program in the interest of
a more orderly and efficient system of mar-
keting and distributing Maryland farm
products.

In carrying out its program the functions
of the department have been divided into
five groups:

1. Education and Extension Activities in
Marketing

2. Marketing Research

3. Market News Reporting and Analysis

4. Grading and Inspection

5. Enforcement of State Laws and Regu-
lations

H. R. SHOEMAKER

H. R. Shoemaker, Frederick County (Md.)
agricultural agent was recently awarded the
Distinguished Service award of the Na-
tional Association of County Agents in
Chicago. Mr. Shoemaker, who was honored
for outstanding service to the farmers of
his community, is the first Maryland county
agent to receive the award.

A native of Sandy Spring, Mr. Shoe-
maker was graduated from the University
of Maryland in 1917. He served in the
First World War, and taught school for a
time at Middletown, Frederick County, be-
fore being appointed county agent.

Paul E. Nystrom, deputy Maryland Ex-
tension Service director, said Mr. Shoe-
maker's influence is reflected in that Fred-
erick is among the top ranking counties in
this Nation.

"More important than development of
crops and livestock has been the develop-
ment of leadership among the people of
the county," Mr. Nystrom said. "The 4-H
Club program has been outstanding in
developing that leadership. The 4-H judg-
ing teams have excelled both in State and
national contests, the dairy team taking
top national honors for 1946.

HIGH HONORS

Henry R. Shoemaker, B. S. '17, M. S. '26, re-
ceived the Distinguished Service Award given each
year by the National Association of County Agents
for outstanding service. It is the first time this
honor has come to a Maryland agent.

Mr. Shoemaker has been engaged in agricultural
work in Frederick county ever since graduation
from the University, with the exception of a period
spent in the army during World War I. He
taught vocational agriculture in the Middletown
high school from 1917 to 1926. Since 1926, he has
been County Agent of the Extension Service.

"Both the Farm Bureau and Grange rank
first in the State as to number of members.
The county was the first in the State to
develop a juvenile Grange and the work of
all agricultural organizations of the county
feature participation of young people.

"Mr. Shoemaker has developed a county
program that emphasized the improvement
in livestock, expanding the production of
'home-grown' feed and strengthening the
work of community organizations of the
county. Under his leadership the county
developed an artificial insemination associa-
tion which became the nucleus for the State
association. The Percheron Horse Breeders'
Association was developed as one of the

largest in the Nation. The dairy and live-
stock breed associations of the county have
been leaders in the State.

"Likewise, co-operatives in the county
excell among the co-ops of the State. The
county was among the first to introduce
and develop hybrid corn, barley and alfalfa.

"Mr. Shoemaker has been selected on a
number of occasions to represent county
agents in national conferences. His county
has been selected more often than any in
the State as one to be visited by notables
who come to Washington to be directed
to counties where they can observe out-
standing county agent work. He has feat-
ured work with business interests as a
spokesman for agriculture."

POULTRY BULLETIN

Maryland poultry men are now offered a
new poultry bulletin prepared by Prof.
George D. Quigley at the University of
Maryland.

The bulletin which is entitled "Poultry
Laying Houses," gives information on house
construction and floor plans, as well as a
discussion of various types of poultry houses
found suitable for Maryland conditions.
Recommendations concerning the construc-
tion, care, and use of poultry-house equip-
ment are also given.

The information on poultry-house con-
struction includes details on putting in
foundations and floors, and facts about side-
wall construction. The use of cinder blocks,
lumber substitutes, and insulating materials
is also discussed.

In presenting information on the roof
design and roofing materials, Quigley shows,
in pictures, how to apply roll roofing and
gives poultrymen some ideas on roof re-
pair. In another section on interior equip-
ment, he gives considerable detail on nest-
ing materials, feed hoppers, watering equip-
ment, and litter management.

House plans and details of construction
are given for the Maryland 20' x 20' open
front house, the Maryland 24' x 24' com-
bination laying and brooding house, and
the Maryland 20' x 20' straw-insulated
house. The number of the bulletin is 116
and copies will soon be available from the
county agent's office in each County.

DR. W. B. KEMP

DR. KEMP

Dr. W. B. Kemp, Director of the Mary-
land Agricultural Experiment Station, is a
native of Baltimore county and a graduate

of the Maryland Agricultural College. From
1943 to 194"), he served ;is acting director
and since that time has been director.

Following graduation in 1912. Dr. Kemp
was an agronomist at the Uniyersity of
West Virginia from 1913 to 1916. Return-
ing to Maryland in 1917, he was principal
of the Sparks high school until 1921.

Since joining the staff of the University
in 1921, lie has held a number of important
positions. His specialty is genetics, statistics
and plant breeding. From 1929 to 1940,
he was head of the department dealing with
those lines of work. He served as assistant
dean of the College of Agriculture from
1932 to 1937. In recognition of his ability
in his special lines, he was called upon for
a number of years to give courses in those
subjects in the graduate school of the U. S.
Department of Agriculture.

In 1940. he was made head of the agron-
omy department, which position he still
holds in addition to his administrative
duties as director of the Experiment Station.

Dr. Kemp was awarded a Doctor's degree
by the American University in Washing-
ton. He is a fellow of the American Asso-
ciation for the Advancement of Science and
the American Agronomy Society. He is a
member of the American Statistical Asso-
ciation, the American Genetic Association,
and a number of honor societies.

R. I. OSWALD

DR. H. J. PATTERSON

In the minds of those who were students,
or were in any way connected with the
College of Agriculture prior to 1937, the
name of Dr. H. J. Patterson is linked in-
separably with the institution. He is widely

MR. OSWALD

E. I. Oswald, Maryland 08, Assistant
Director of the Extension Service, has been
connected with the University of Maryland
ever since his student days, with the excep-
tion of a period from 1909 to 1918, when
he operated the home farm in Washington
county.

During the time he was a student, he
assisted the Experiment Station through the
department of Farmers' Institutes in con-
ducting boys' corn contests and establish-
ing bovs' clubs. After graduation, he was
made librarian of the Experiment Station
and assistant in Farmers' Institute work.
One of his most noted pieces of research
was on the effect of animal digestion on
vitality of weed seeds.

Mr. Oswald was appointed county agent
in Worcester county in 1918 and served
until 1927, when he was made District Agent
of the University of Maryland Extension
Service. He was later promoted to County
Agent Leader and carried additional re-
sponsibilities as Director of Rural Rehabili-
tation and Farm Security. He was ap-
pointed to his present position in 1939.

DR. PATTERSON

known throughout the State for his excep-
tionally long and able service to agriculture.

Dr. Patterson came to Maryland in 1888
as a chemist and was made director of the
Experiment Station in 1895, serving con-
tinuously in that position until his retire-
ment October 1, 1937.

With the resignation of President Silves-
ter in 1913, he was designated as President
of the institution and served in that
capacity, as well as director of the Station,
until 1917. As dean of the College of Agri-
culture and director of the Experiment Sta-
tion, Dr. Patterson was an inspiration to all
associates in developing research in agri-
cultural sciences and agricultural education.

Dr. Patterson was a thorough student of
the agricultural resources of Maryland and
the best informed man on crops, fertilizers
and farm management. In many lines of
research, he was a pioneer and the results
of his work formed the basis for important
developments, not only in this State, but in
other states.

Dr. Patterson was active in the Grange
and other farm organizations and is be-
loved by all who came in close contact with
him. He is a great civic builder and in his
retirement is rendering great service to his
community. All associated with the Univer-
sity of Maryland revere the contribution he
made to the upbuilding of the institution.

FARM WIRING

Farm electric wiring, to be good, must
be safe and adequate. These two needs
have been pointed out by A. V. Krewatch,
extension agricultural engineer at the Uni-
versity of Maryland.

"If motors appear sluggish in starting, if
lights are yellowish and tend to flicker, or
if brooders and heaters are slow in coming
to proper temperature, the wiring is quite
certain to be too small," he declared. "This
may be the case even though the wiring
has passed all electrical codes."

He pointed out that an overloaded wire
in a circuit causes a drop in voltage. Since
most electrical equipment is designed for
operation on 110 volts, this voltage drop
reduces the efficiency of the equipment.
This is especially true for flat irons, toasters,
and other heating devices.

"The remedy is fairly simple," Krewatch
said. "New circuits can be added to carry
part of the load, or the present wiring can
be replaced with wires of a larger size.
Either of these should correct the trouble
unless the voltage at the entrance service
switch is too low in that event, the trouble
is with the transformer or the transmission
line and must be corrected by the power
supplier."

The diversity of agriculture in Maryland
makes it advisable to consider separate ad-
justments for each type-of-farming area.

Average egg production in the U. S. in
1934 was 118 eggs per layer. 10 years later
it was up to 147 eggs per bird.

It has been shown that a hen laying 200
eggs, consumes only 14 lbs. more feed than
a hen laying 100 eggs. The additional eggs
obtained mean extra profits.

DR. CORY ELECTED

DR. CORY

Dr. Ernest N. Cory, Maryland 1909, State
Entomologist and head of all work in that
line at the University of Maryland, was
elected president of the American Associa-
tion of Eocnomic Entomologists at their
annual meeting in December, 1946. He
completed work for his Doctor's degree at
American University in 1926.

Dr. Cory has been engaged in entomo-
logical work in Maryland for more than 35
years. Starting as an instructor following
his graduation in 1909, he advanced rapidly
and for many years has headed the re-
search, teaching and extension work in
entomology. His contacts throughout the
State in connection with the regulatory
functions of his position as State Entomol-
ogist are very wide and numerous. At the
annual meeting of the Maryland Nursery-
men's Association in January, 1945, he was
given a testimonial dinner in recognition
of his service to that industry. Under his
guidance, the little-known department of
entomology at the University has grown
until it receives national recognition.

Dr. Cory has served as secretary of the
association of which he now becomes presi-
dent, and is a past-president of the Wash-
ington Entomological Society. For ten
years, he has been secretary and business
manager of Economic Entomology. He is
a member of scientific and honorary so-
cieties.

EDITORIA

LOYALTY

AT A recent graduate - undergraduate
/\pow-wow of the impromptu variety the
subject of loyalty to the University was dis-
cussed.

One young man commented that he con-
sidered himself to be "fairly loyal" to the
school. That suggested a subject on which
we have wanted, for a long time, to pop off
a little steam.

In the military service we could never
understand the markings on a point scale
of officers' fitness reports on the premise of
"loyalty." We contend that there are no
degrees of loyalty. A man is loyal, period.
Or he is disloyal, period. If. in the service,
we couldn't mark a fellow "outstanding"
in loyalty we wouldn't want him in our
outfit.

There are no degrees of loyalty.

Loyalty is like red hair or buck teeth.
You have it or you don't.

We always liked old Elbert Hubbard's
comments on loyalty. Fra Elbertus, the sage
of East Aurora, wrote,

"Not long ago I met a Yale student, home
on a vacation. I am sure he did not repre-
sent the true Yale spirit, for he was ftdl of
criticism and bitterness toward the institu-
tion. Yale's President came in for his share,
and I was supplied items, facts, data, with
times and places, for a "peach of a roast."

"Very soon I saw the trouble was not
with Yale. The trouble was with the young
man. He had mentally dwelt on some trivial
slights until he had got so out of harmony
with the institution that he had lost the
power to derive any benefit from it. Yale
is not a perfect institution — a fact, I sup-
pose, that Yale's President and most Yale
men are quite willing to admit; but Yale
does supply certain advantages, and it de-
pends upon the students whether they will
avail themselves of these advantages or not.

"If you are a student in a college, seize
upon the good that is there. You get good
by giving it. You gain by giving — so give
sympathy and cheerful loyalty to the insti-
tution. Be proud of it. Stand by your teach-
ers — they are doing the best they can. If
the place is faulty, make it a better place
by an example of cheerfully doing your
work every clay the best you can.

"Mind your own business.

"If the concern where you are employed
is all wrong, and the Old Man a curmud-
geon, it may be well for you to go to the
Old Man and confidentially, quietly and
kindly tell him that he is a curmudgeon.
Explain to him that his policy is absurd and
preposterous. Then show him how to re-
form his ways, and you might offer to take
charge of the concern and cleanse it of its
secret faults.

"Do this, or if for any reason you should
prefer not. then take your choice of these:

Get Out or Get in Line. You have goL to
do one or the other — now make your choice.

"If you work for a man. in heaven's name
work for him!

"If he pays you wages that supply you
your bread and butter, work for him —
speak well of him, think well of him, stand
by him and stand by the institution he
represents.

"I think if I worked for a man I would
work for him. I would not work for him
a part of the time, and the rest of the time
work against him. I would give an un-
divided service or none.

"If put to the pinch, an ounce of loyalty
is worth a pound of cleverness.

"If you must villify, condemn and etern-
ally disparage, why, resign your position
and, when you are outside, damn to your
heart's content. But I pray you so long as
you are a part of any institution, do not
condemn it. Not that you will injure the
institution — not that — but when you dispar-
age the concern of which you are a part,
you disparage yourself."

On the subject of loyalty, Abraham
Lincoln's famous letter to General Hooker
was a classic. Hooker had continually criti-
cised his superior, General Burnside. Hooker
had also cruelly criticized Lincoln. So
Lincoln removed Burnside, a man Lincoln
greatly liked, and promoted Hooker to fill
Burnside 's place. Friendship, with Lincoln,
was not as great as loyaltv to his country.

So Lincoln wrote to Hooker: —

"Executive Mansion.
"Washington. January 26. 1863.
"Major General Hooker:

"General: I have placed you at the head
of the Army of the Potomac. Of course, I
have done this upon what appears to me

DROPPING BALLAST

AND GOING UP

to be sufficient reasons, and yet I think it
lust for you to know that there are some
things in regard to which I am not quite
satisfied with you.

"I believe you to be a brave and skillful
soldier, which, of course, I like.

"I also believe you do not mix politics
with your profession, in which you are right.

"You have confidence in yourself, which
is a valuable if not indispensible quality.

"You are ambitious, which, within reason-
able bounds, does good rather than harm,
but I think that during General Burnside's
command of the army you have taken coun-
sel of your ambition and thwarted him as
much as you could, in which you did a
great wrong to the country and to a most
meritorious and honorable brother officer.

"I have heard, in such way as to believe
it, of your recently saying that both the
army and the government needed a dictator.
Of course, it was not for this but in spite
of it, that I have given you the command.
Only those generals who gain successes can
set up dictators. What I now ask of you is
military success, and I will risk the dicta-
torship.

"The government will support you to the
utmost of its ability, which is neither more
nor less than it has done and will do for
all commanders. I much fear that the spirit
you have aided to infuse into the army, of
criticizing their commander and withhold-
ing confidence from him, will now turn
upon you. I shall assist you as far as I can
to put it down. Neither you nor Napoleon,
if he were alive again, could get any good
out of an army while such a spirit prevails
in it. And now, beware of rashness; beware
of rashness, but with energy and sleepless
vigilance go forward and give us victories.
"Yours very truly,

"A. LINCOLN."

Even so great a man as Lincoln could not
protect Hooker forever. He did not win.
He had to be removed. Many suffered but
Hooker suffered most. He drew the penalty
for the sneering, carping, grumbling, griping
and criticism.

And so he was replaced by a Silent Man
who criticized no one, not even those against
whom he fought. But this Silent Man rided
his own spirit in spite of much criticism
leveled at him. He took the cities and won
the war. He provided an excellent example
of loyalty, minding his own business and
doing a job for those under whom he
worked.

Loyalty is mankind's greatest virtue.
It is greater than love for love is loyalty
of one toward another.

It is greater than religion for religion is
loyalty to God.

Loyalty is greater than patriotism, for
patriotism is loyalty to one's country.

It is greater than charity for it includes
one toward another.

It is greater than hope for it includes that
too.

The greatest loyalty is loyalty to one's
self. That is self respect and, in that pre-
mise, Shakespeare said it all with, "Above
all things to thine own self be true. Thou
cans't not then be false to any man."

When the Master of Men gave "these
three unto you, faith, hope and charity, but
the greatest of these is charity," He did not
mention loyalty. He knew loyalty covered
the three He did mention.

A loyal fellow is just loyal. He is loyal
to his God, to his country, to his family, to
his friends, to his job, to his school, to
himself.

Loyalty demands a lot. The reward for
loyalty comes in self respect, i.e. loyalty to
one's self. Loyalty demands the humble
chores of daily routine, the faithful, unvary-
ing, intelligent, undying devotion to duty.

Many men have died for loyalty to their
country, to their loved ones, to their ideals.
The greatest example of loyalty to an ideal
lies in the story of The Gentle Jew nailed
to the cross on the Hill of Skulls. Monu-
ments to his loyalty are shown in millions
of stained glass windows over nineteen
hundred years after Golgotha. Thousands
upon thousands who have died for loyalty
did not die in vain.

MARYLAND MARTYRS

It is probably not a bad idea to recall,
from time to time, in these columns, the
names of Maryland men who gave their
lives in the war.

Remember George Pyles, who, as a very
young body represented Maryland in the
ring as a heavyweight boxer. A knockout
puncher was George and a grand kid. As
a lieutenant in the Army Air Forces he gave
his life over China. Pyles, from Oxon Hill,
was at Maryland just prior to Pearl Harbor.

Recall Lieutenant Lewis T. Carter,
former Western High School student, Wash-'
ington, D. C. Flying out of England on a
B-17 this young Army flight pilot gave his
life over Germany. He had enlisted while
a student at Maryland.

Lieutenant Gino Valenti, of Washing-
ton, D. C, McKinley High School youngster

APPRECIATION

THIS number of "MARYLAND,'' a
special Agriculture number of the
publication, has been made possible
largely through the cooperation of Pro-
fessor Addison H. Snyder, of the Col-
lege of Agriculture and Extension
Service.

A publication such as "MARYLAND"
must depend, for success, largely upon
the helpful interest of faculty and
alumni. Alumni news, for instance, can
be printed only if the alumni sub-
mits it.

Similarly, a special edition like this
one, devoted to Agriculture, is a pretty
good publication because Professor
Snyder made it so.

who was a student at Maryland, class of
'41. He entered the Army immediately upon
graduation. He died on the battlefields of
Normandy.

Lieutenant J. Howard Randall, a Mary-
land Engineer student in pre-war days, and
a member of the lacrosse team, was all en-
thused about entering the regular Army.
This fine lad fell on the bloody beach at
Dieppe, France.

Lest we forget. Such Maryland men are
well worth remembering.

LORD INVERCHAPEL

Roger Newburn. a 4-H boy, Woolstock,
Iowa, had the honor of entertaining as ;i
week-end guest no less a personage than
Archibald John Clark- Kerr Lord Inver-
chapel, British ambassador to the United
States.

It all came about as a result of a boast-
ing remark made by Roger concerning Iowa
when a group of 4-H boys attending the
4-H encampment in Washington, was given
an audience by the ambassador. After the
ambassador expressed some skepticism.
Roger said, "If you don't believe it you can
come out to Iowa and see for yourself."
The group was amazed when he said he
would.

The British ambassador made good his
promise and he went right out to the New-
hum home, four miles north of Woolstock
where he put the Newburn's at their ease
by making himself thoroughly at home.

So, Roger had an opportunity to show the
Ambassador what he had boasted about.
After tours on the Newburn farm, observing
hybrid corn, getting his first sight of a corn
picker and a combine in operation, and
looking at pure-bred livestock, the Ambas-
sador commented: "God has been good to
this country."

For the first aid kit. minimum require-
ments are: rolls of adhesive tape of vary-
ing width; sterile cotton; swabs and sticks;
clean white cloth for large bandages and

tincture of iodine; boric acid; tincture of
methiolate; tincture of benzoin; liquid green
soap or benzine; rubbing alcohol.

ALUMNI REVITALIZATBON

BLANK forms have been sent to all avail-
able addresses of University of Mary-
land alumni as a step toward reorganizing
and revitalizing the Alumni Association.

The issuance of "MARYLAND," the
the alumni publication, is a vital part of
this reorganization program. In this pre-
mise attention is invited to a few letters,
selected from many such, printed elsewhere
in these pages under the heading "Orchids."

The alumni's stencil mailing list has
coasted far down hill during the combat
years and much of this disintegration has
been brought about by failure of alumni to
forward changes in address, of which there
were many during the war. It is here that
a publication performs a vital function,
a keystone job. If the publication is greatly
desired by the reader he will see to it that
a change of address is submitted. If it is a
poor publication he might not bother about
having it forwarded to his new address.
Since the Post Office Department does not
forward second class mail matter it is easy to
see how the address of the reader becomes
lost in the shuffle. The control of the mail-
ing list of a publication is in the hands
of the readers.

All of the addresses brought about by
the return of the forms mailed to alumni
at their last know address, first class mail,
will be picked up on "MARYLAND" mail-
ing list stencils.

The program of mailing this form and
the contents of the form were both the
idea of Dr. H. C. Byrd, President of the
University, who has shown great personal
interest in the important work of re-organ-
izing the alumni.

Alumni are urged to report ANY changes
of address of which they may be aware.

A new full time Alumni Secretary is now
in office.

REVERENCE FOR LAW

Let reverence for the laws be breathed
by every American mother to the lisping
babe that prattles on her lap; let it be
taught in schools, in seminaries, and in
colleges; let it be written in primers, spell-
ing-books, and in almanacs; let it be
preached from the pulpit, proclaimed in
legislative halls, and enforced in courts of
justice. And, in short, let it become the
political religion of the nation; and let
the old and the young, the rich and the
poor, the grave and the gay of all sexes
and tongues and colors and conditions
sacrifice unceasingly upon its altars. — Abra-

ADVERTISING

As can be noted from these pages
"MARYLAND" needs advertising. Maga-
zine advertising should be offered on a
commodity basis, i.e., so much per inch per
thousand paid circulation. Thus adver-
tising depends upon PAID circulation.

Comparison of "MARYLAND" with other
alumni publications discloses that other
alumni publications carry two types of
advertising, 1. National or local ads on
a paid circulation basis; 2. More or less
good will ads from alumni in the business
world.

"MARYLAND" could stand such adver-
tising in either of the two categories men-
tioned. Rates on application.

MAJ. JAMES B. BURNSIDE

Holder of the Silver and Bronie Stars, Combat In-
fantryman Badge, Purple Heart, the Belgian Four-
ragere and other decorations and awards, Mai.
Burnside distinguished himself by gallantry in ac-
tion near Chateau de Fontenay, France, on June 9,
1944. During an attack by his battalion, two pla-
toons were immobilized by enemy resistance, and
the entire operation was jeopardized. When he saw
a leaderless rifle company falling back, he moved
out alone along a flank and guided the scattered
groups of men into his own lines. The fire power
thus concentrated forced the enemy to fall back,
and he restored contact with flanking units. The
citation for the Silver Star added that Maj. Burn-
side's tactical maneuver made it possible to carry
out the operation as it originally was intended.
A native of Washington, Mai. Burnside is the son
of Mr. and Mrs. Harold Whiting Burnside, 3802
Ingomar street N.W. He attended Western High
School and the University of Maryland, and was a
member of the tennis and swimming teams at both
schools. After graduating from the Fort Benning
Infantry School, he spent three years training in
this country with the 4th Infantry Division before
going to England. The division joined in the D-day
assault and in the Normandy campaign. Wounded
severely in the Battle of St Lo, he was flown to
England for hospital treatment. He rejoined his
unit in the Battle of the Bulge, returning to this
country after the war ended.

FIRST LT. FRED L. BACH, JR.. A. U. S.

During an attack on the enemy-held village of Fos-
sieux, France, in October, 1944, Lt. Bach's platoon
was pinned down by enemy machine gun fire com-
ing from a house located on high ground in front
of it. As he deployed his men for an attack against
the position, the young infantry officer noticed a
wounded soldier lying exposed to intense enemy
fire. Disregarding this fire, Lt. Bach made his way
to the injured man, rendered immediate first aid,
and then carried him to shelter. Returning to his
previous position in front of the platoon, he led
his men against the building where the enemy had
established a strong point. He first threw a gren-
ade through a window on the first floor, then made
a room-to-room search of the house and deter-
mined that the enemy had taken refuge in the
cellar. Directing his men to surround the build-
inq, he threw grenades down the cellar ramp and
was successful in securing the surrender of one
enemy officer and 15 enlisted men. The lieutenant
then continued the mopping up of the sector as-
signed to his platoon, repeatedly demonstrating
courage and skillful leadership when the enemy
threatened several times to overrun his position. It
was for this action that Lt. Bach was decorated
with the Distinguished Service Cross. He also wears
the Purple Heart with one oak leaf cluster and the
Combat Infantryman's Badge. Lt. Bach was first
wounded by a land mine while he was on night
patrol two miles inside German lines. The second

injury was suffered in Belgium.

Chemical Corps, Army of the United States,
while serving as chief, Mortar Section,
Technical Command. Edgewood Arsenal,

service by effecting notable improvements
in the 4.2 inch chemical mortar, particu-
larly improved serviceabilitv of the piece,
flight characteristics of the shell, and a pro-
pellant that increased the range. These
achievements made it possible to supply
combat troops with a weapon far superior

benefit.

PROPELLER CLUB

Establishment of branches of the Pro-
peller Club of Washington at University
of Maryland, Georgetown University and
George Washington University was an-
nounced at the first 1947 meeting of the

Propeller Club, Port of Washington, D. C,
by the president, Capt. R. E. Coombs,
United States Coast Guard.

Capt. Coombs told nearly 200 club mem-
bers of the rapidly growing interest in the
United States merchant marine displayed by
students at these local universities.

OYSTER SNAIL

Ways and means to lick a predatory little
snail, called a drill, which is costing the
oyster industry millions of dollars are being
studied in the laboratories at the University
of Maryland, College Park, Md.

Dr. Paul S. Galtsoff, chief of the shellfish
investigation section, Fish and Wildlife Serv-
ice, Department of the Interior, said the
laboratory has perfected an elaborate tank
which records by a system of levers every
motion the snail makes.

"When we find out how fast and how far
it travels and when it stops," he said, "we
will know better how to cope with it."

The drill, as its name suggests, preys on
oysters in the Chesapeake Bay by drilling
holes in the shell and feeding on the occu-
pant. It does not eat a whole meal, how-
ever, but goes on after a few tastes to feed
on another.

Trapping snails has been attempted for
several years, but the method has proved too
costly and cumbersome.

Dr. Galtsoff admits that science has no
solution to the problem as yet.

MRS. EVELYN GREENBERG

COOKING METHODS

Many of the modern cooking methods
are actually more economical than some of
grandmother's practices which were con-
sidered famous for the delicious food which
they prepared.

This information comes from Margaret
McPheeters. Nutritian Specialist at the Uni-
versity of Maryland, who points out that the
long cooking of vegetables drives off much
of the flavor and destroys some of the nu-
tritive value of vegetables.

"We used to think that soup stock should
be made from meat and vegetables which
simmered day after day on the back of the
stove," she said, "but actually there is no
advantage in the long cooking. Once the
stock is made it should go into the re
frigerator to be kept cold and fresh until
used."

She recommended that soup bones or
other bones used for stock be tracked and
simmered for an hour or two in water, but
that vegetables be added late and cooked
only a short time.

FRESH EGG LAW

The Maryland Fresh Egg Law is now
effective and violations are being brought
to trial according to Russell C. Hawes,
Supervisor of Maryland egg grading and
inspection service of the department of mar-
kets in Baltimore.

Hawes said today, "This egg law is not
only a protection to the consuming public
but it is also a protection to the grocer who
wishes to sell quality eggs to his customers."

He explained that eggs sold to a retailer
must have the proper grade and size of eggs
displayed on the invoice and that eggs sold
to a consumer must have the same informa-
tion marked on the container.

Hawes added that, upon conviction, the
offender is subject to a fine of from $5 to
$50 for a first offense and from $50 to SI 00
for the second or subsequent offenses. The
law he referred to is Article 48. Sections
144 to 150 of the 1939 edition Annotated
Code of Maryland as amended bv Chapter
1050 bv the 1945 general assembly.

TRAINING SCHOOL

"The training school for prospective
supervisors of dairy herd improvement asso-
ciations was held for the two-week period
from February 17 to March 1." reported
Marvin E. Senger. extension dairyman at
the University of Maryland.

"We had immediate need for about 10
new supervisors," Senger said in announcing
the school, "and we urged each of the 21
associations now active in the State to send
someone to the school for training. No
previous experience or training is nccessarv.
but we prefer persons who have had farm
experience and a high school education.
\nvone interested in getting more informa-
tion can see the local countv agent or write
us here at the Dairy Department."

The dairy herd improvement associa-
tions are part of the extension program
working for the improvement of the dain
herds in Maryland. Each association hires
a supervisor to visit each member's herd
once ever) month for the purpose of getting

adequate milk production records and feed-
ing information.

The records are then used by the dairy-
man as a guide in culling his herd. They
are also used to determine the most effec-
tive feeding and management practices and
to show the benefits of the breeding pro-
gram being followed.

POST GRAD FELLOWSHIP

A post graduate fellowship in chemistry
was awarded to the University of Maryland
by the Du Pont Company of Wilmington,
Delaware. This is one of seventy-five post-
graduate and post-doctoral fellowships to
forty-six universities for the 1947-48 aca-
demic year.

Each post-graduate fellowship provides
N 1.200 for a single person or SI .800 for a
married person, together with a grant of
S 1,000 to the university. Each post-doctoral
fellowship carries an award of $3,000 with
a grant of .151,500 to the university.

As in the past the selection of nominees
for the awards and choice of problems on
which they are to work is left to the
universities. The individual is under no
obligation with respect to employment after
he completes his work under the fellow
ship.

The fellowship plan, which was adopted
bv Du Pont in 1918 and has been main-
tained with but one interruption ever since,
is designed to provide means for advanced
training of chemists, physicists, and engi-
neers. The chemical industry is confronted
with a continued shortage of men and
women with broad technical backgrounds.

Forty -two of the post-graduate fellow-
ships are in chemistry, five in physics, fifteen
in chemical engineering and seven in
mechanical engineering. The plan also pro-
v ides for six post-doctoral fellowships in
chemistry. Awards in the postdoctoral
field support the development of young men
especially qualified for staff positions on the
graduate faculties.

MARKET PROBLEM

That problems dealing with the market-
ing of farm products will probably be the
most important problems facing Maryland
farmers in the next ten years, is the opinion
of H. L. Stier. head of the State depart-
ment of markets at the University of Mary-
land.

"The fruit growers of the State," he says.
' will particularly face a competitive market
in the future. Their success or failure
will depend largely upon the quality, at-
tractiveness, and service which they put
into the product they offer the consumer.

He foresees keen competition from citrus
fruits, canned and frozen foods, bananas,
and candy; but he believes that the fruit
growers can meet the competition by uni-
formity in grading and by higher quality.

"The quality of the apples that are now
olfered at retail levels must be improved."
he declares. "The responsibility of the pro-
ducer for satisfied consumers does not stop
at his packing house. He should assume
more responsibility for quality all the wav
to the consumer, because successful mar-

keting involves both quality production and
satisfied consumption."

Dr. Stier's department is to lay special
emphasis on a seven point marketing pro-
gram for fruit growers during the coming
years. The program includes the expan-
sion and increased emphasis on market in-
formation; improved grading and higher
quality; assistance to producers in process-
ing, packaging, and merchandising; improve.
ment of marketing methods; assistance in
the development of cooperative marketing
agencies; more information for the con-
sumer; and a broadened extension market-
ing program to get more and better mar-
keting information to more growers.

DECORATED

A special mass formation and review of
the University of Maryland ROTC unit
was held recently to honor Lt. Col. James
M. Gwin and Sgt. Charles S. Loucks, who
were presented with War Department hon-
ors at that time.

Col. Gwin was awarded the Bronze Star
for his outstanding work in the Quarter-
master Corps. He procured material that
was normally termed unobtainable at crit-
ical moments of the war, and developed
new and ingenious methods of operating
his unit with the most efficient system
possible. A measure of the success of our
armies overseas can be credited to his efforts
in obtaining needed material at the advance
depots in an extremely short space of time.

Sgt. Loucks, a student of the University
of Maryland School of Engineering, was
awarded the Soldiers' Medal for heroic ac-
tion taken, at the risk of life, when a Chem-
ical plant exploded and caused a threat
to personnel and property. Bv his immedi-
ate action within the danger ana. losses

ule was devoted to discussion groups. The
following questions were among those as-
signed to these groups by the planning
committee of you: "Is Our Choice that
of One World or None? What Will Be Our
Part in a Christian Democracy What Do

MOTOR OPERATORS

A short course for Motor Vehicle Fleet
Operators was held at the University of
Maryland at College Park during the week
of March 3 to 7, 1947.

The purpose of the course was to pre-
sent a practical program for accident pre-
vention, conservation of manpower and
equipment, efficient and economical opera-
tion, and improvement of employee and
public relations. Particular attention was
given to methods of testing, selecting, train-
ing, and supervising drivers. Field demon-
strations supplemented the classroom in-
struction.

The course was offered by the University
of Maryland in cooperation with manv
national and state organizations interested
in conservation and safety. It was open to
fleet owners and operators, safetv and per-
sonnel directors, fleet supervisors, and safetv

NURSING COURSES

Professor Edna B. McNaughton, Nursery
School Education, University of Maryland,
is in charge of two nursing courses con-
ducted by the University.

Classes in Nursery School and Kinder-
garten Methods, including workshop, are
held at the University.

Classes in the Social and Emotional Needs
of the Young Child and Education of the
Young Child are held at Central High
School, Washington, D. C, on Mondays
from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m.

The main emphasis of the course at Cen-
tral High School is in trying to understand
what lies beneath outward behavior rather
than on conformity as such; acceptance of
the child's feelings; helping the child to live
richly and fully on his own level; seeing the
child as a whole; working with the parents
and the home to bring about the most
favorable adjustment of the child; planning
the preschool program, with emphasis on
the developmental growth and needs of
the child, and their implications for the
practising teacher. Discussion will center
around what children are like, and an
understanding of age-level differences as
they affect individuals and groups. The
child's relation to the materials, the ex-
periences, and the people of his world at
home and at school will be studied. Teach-
ing techniques and group experiences will
be analyzed, with students invited to bring
in questions and group problems for dis-
cussion.

The instructors in these two courses are
Miss Mary McBurney Green, Mrs. Elizabeth
Whitney, and Mrs. Vesta P. Lynn.

Miss Green received her B.S. and M.A.
degrees from Teachers' College, Columbia

"KILROY'S OUT!"

"Kilroy" was discharged from Camp Kil-
mer, N. J., this week.

With T/5 Steve Yura, creator of the
comic strip "Clem and Kilroy," which ap-
peared in several Army newspapers, the
fabulous Kilroy was mustered out of the
service.

The 23-year-old cartoonist has had a
number of offers to syndicate his strip but
at present the future of "Kilroy" is still
undetermined. The four-year Army veteran
has been assigned to the rehabilitation ward
of the station hospital for the last few
months teaching art to recuperating bud-
dies.

Recently Yura offered a $50 reward to
anyone who could prove that he is not the
originator of the phrase, "Kilroy was here."
The young artist has written two books.
His first, "A Postwar Career for A. P.O. Joe,"
was printed in December, 1944; his second,
"Kilroy Was Here." is now in the hands of
the publishers.

It seems that the peak of farm prices has
been reached.

After six months of operation the Mary-
land Artificial Breeding Cooperative had
817 members with almost 13,000 cows en-
rolled. 4233 inseminations were made in
the 6 months.

About 350,000 tons of lime were used by
Maryland farmers during 1946.

News that Reuben Brigham, Maryland
'08, Assistant Director of the Extension Serv-
ice in the U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture, had passed away on December 6 came
as a shock to his many friends in Mary-
land. Graduating in the same class with
President H. C. Byrd and Assistant Director
E. I. Oswald, he was active in bringing
together members of the class for each
home-coming and alumni affair.

Mr. Brigham was 4-H Club leader in the
early days of extension work in Maryland
and later was extension editor. He went to
the U. S. Department of Agriculture in 1917

MR. BRIGHAM

to take charge of producing visual and edi-
torial materials for the use of extension
workers in all states. In the early days of
the AAA he was detailed to develop a re-
gional contact division and returned to the
Extension Service in 1937.

Throughout his career, Mr. Brigham's
special interest was in youth and his major
thought in recent years was devoted to their
problems. His last published article was
on that subject. His death occurred in
Chicago, where he had gone to attend the
National 4-H Club Congress and to address
the meeting of county agents. He made his
home at Ashton, Maryland, where he took
an active part in community and agricul-
tural enterprises.

Dr. John T. O'Mara

Dr. John T. O'Mara, G6, secretary of the
State Board of Medical Examiners for 22
years, died at his home in Baltimore after
an illness of 11 years.

A graduate of Mount St. Joseph's Col-
lege and of the University of Maryland
Medical School, he served for many years
as personal physician to Archbishop Michael
J. Curley and was a trustee of the Baltimore
Cathedral.

Dr. O'Mara was a member of the Federa-
tion of State Medical Boards, vice president
of the Rosewood Training School and a
member of the Board of St. Mary's Indus-
trial School, Baltimore.

He gave up his post with the State Medi-
cal Board after he suffered a stroke last
March.

Surviving are his widow, two daughters,
two brothers and a sister.

FARM RECORDS

"Maryland farmers who filed either esti-
mated or final income tax returns before the
January 15 deadline were reminded of the
importance of keeping farm accounts,"
states Paul Walker, Professor of agricul-
tural economics at the University of Mary-
land.

"These farm records may be quite sim-
ple," he adds, "but they should contain, at
least, the major items of receipts and ex-
penses. It would also be well to have them
include information necessary for figuring
depreciation on farm property."

Walker points out that these records are
also useful in analyzing the farm business,
and as a guide in planning the business
for the next year, as well as for the filing
of income tax returns. Simple record books
may be obtained from the extension service
banks, commercial farm supply concerns,
farm cooperatives, and other agencies.

"Depreciation allowed on farm property
should be included as an expense in each
year's return"; the economist stressed. "It
is just as short-sighted not to claim de-
preciation allowable as it would be to ignore
the personal exemptions allowed."

Depreciation may be figured on farm
buildings, machinery, and livestock pur-
chased, but a record of the purchase date
and price is essential. Once such records
are established on the farm report, they
can serve as the basis for depreciation year
after year. No depreciation is allowed on
Land, livestock raised on the dwelling, or
on personal property.

GARDEN BULLETINS

Garden time is just around the corner
according to the specialists of the Univer-
sity of Maryland, who point out that Feb-
ruary 2 to 8 was National Garden Planning
Week.

People in Maryland who plant gardens
can get two bulletins which have sugges-
tions for them. One is called "Victory Gar-
dens" and includes lists of the recommend-
ed varieties with tables giving planting in-
formation. Also included are charts show-
ing how much of the various vegetables
should be planted by certain size families
and giving the recommended planting dates.

The other bulletin is called "Food Plan."
It has been prepared by Margaret Mc-
Pheeters, Nutritian Specialist at the Univer-
sity of Maryland, and it gives a moderate
cost food plan for a Maryland farm family.
The approximate amounts of the various
types of food needed for each person is
given with space provided for each family
to figure its own requirements.

The "Victory Garden" bulletin, No. 94 is
available through county agent Offices and
the "Food Plan" leaflet is available from
tiie home demonstration agents in the
County Extension offices.

The specialists state that a good garden
can provide both farm and city families
with good supplies of high quality vege-
tables and help them continue the present-
day trend toward higher nutritional stand-
ards.

FARM NOTES

Successful marketing of agricultural pro-
ducts involves both quality production and
satisfied consumption.

Efficient operation and maintenance of a
farm tractor is just one of the new prob-
lems confronting farming. It requires a
general understanding of the principles of
automotive equipment.

It has been estimated that more than
324,000,000 is wasted annually by improper
carburetor adjustment alone.

Fog applicators, an outgrowth of the
smoke generators of the last war, will soon
be used for insect and disease control work
in Marvland orchards.

The cockerels in a flock of straight-run
chicks should be sold for broilers as soon
as possible.

During the war years, the strong demand
for milk and eggs caused Maryland farmers
to keep more cows and hens, which resulted
in an increase of 18 percent in milk and
22 percent in eggs.

The number of farms in Maryland was
41,275 in 1945, a decrease of 2 percent since
1940, but the acreage per farm increased
2.1 percent.

The need for more canning crops was
met during the war by increasing the acre-
age of snap beans by 65 percent; sweet corn
acreage, 55 percent; and the acreage of
tomatoes by 28 percent.

Maryland farmers expect to spend S72.-
670,000 for improvements to the farm plant
and for household equipment and general
farm services in the first two post-war
years.

Every farmer owes it to himself to provide
adequate first aid materials and facilities
to attend the frequent minor injuries in-
curred in farm work. These materials
should be available both in the farm home
and at some convenient points about the
farmstead.

AL HEAGY

Assistant Coach.

THESE Terrapins were champions — Na-
tional Champions. We recall them in
these pages at this time hoping this action
will serve to inspire current and future
Maryland athletic teams.

Maryland's 1936 lacrosse team, from the
standpoint of balance and all-around ex-
cellence, generally was conceded to be one
of the very best stick combinations ever
produced in the colleges and one of the
outstanding squads ever to show its wares
in the famous old Indian pastime The
team won the National Championship.
Head Coach was Jack Faber, assisted by
Al Heagv.

It was an outfit that had power and
polish from stem to stern, with every man

who was permitted by the rules to go down
the field on attack being capable of dexter-
ously firing the ball into the netting. This
is testified to by the division of the scoring
among so many of the Old Liners. All of
the lacrosse writers referred to Maryland's
o flense as a "six-man attack."

From Jack Kelly, the alert and agile
goalie, down to Charlie Ellinger, the in
home and axis of the team, there was not a
single weak spot in the outfit. Ellinger, a
clever general and feeder, also could toss
the rubber pellet into the goal along with
such adept throwers as Herb Brill, John
Christhilf, Parker Lindsay, Pierce Maccub-
bin and others.

It was mainly a combination — as far as
the first team was concerned — of seniors
and juniors. Lindsav, an unusually capable
center, being the only sophomore to gain
a regular berth.

Webb and George Schaffer, attack, played
their final lacrosse for the Terps in '36.

Doubtless the three strongest teams that
Maryland played all season were Baltimore
Athletic Club, Mount Washington Club and
the Naval Academy. Both of the club teams
are made up mainlv of former college
lacrosse stars, many of them Ail-Americans
in their student days and offer a tremen-
dous problem for am collegiate outfit.

The Terps carried off the honors in the
tilts with B.A.C. and the Navy, but lost
out by a single goal margin to the terrific
and star-studded Mount Washington aggre-
gation in a game in which Maryland, after
a jittery start, appeared to be the superior

combination. In fact, after trailing 4 to 7
at intermission, the Terps came back to
outplay their more experienced rivals in
the second half four goals to two, only to
lose out by 8 to 9. It was a great game
of lacrosse and to hold the clubmen to such
a close count was a noteworthy feat.

Another greatly prized victory was the
9 to triumph scored over St. John's,
Maryland's old rival which has proved a
thorn in the side of the Terps on the
lacrosse field in recent years. It is excep-
tional in modern lacrosse for a team to be
blanked, especially an outfit of the caliber
of the Johnnies, who later took the measure
of a strong West Point ten.

MARYLAND ATHLETICS

TATUM'S APPOINTMENT BUOYS GRID HOPES

THE disturbing haze surrounding the
University of Maryland's football future
was dispelled when Big Jim Tatum, former
Oklahoma mentor, arrived at College Park
to take over as head football coach and di-
rector of athletics.

A shuffle in the entire varsity football
setup was foreseen.

Thus far Tatum's assistants include Wal-
ter Driskill, a former line coach at Color-
ado. George Barclay, who held the same
position at Dartmouth, and Bill Meek,
former Tennessee star and coach of army
teams.

Has Definite Ideas

Reports that the 1947 Maryland eleven
may not play out of the "T" formation
were more or less substantiated by Tatum.
The former University of North Carolina
tackle stated that he worked exclusively
with the "single wing back" before the war
and was first introduced to the "T" while
in the Navy.

Further, the new mentor expressed the
opinion that the "T" can only be worked
successfully with the proper quarterback
material and that this angle will come
under surveillance during spring practice.
(At Oklahoma Tatum used a "T" varia-
tion.)

He, however, will use the "T" at the
opening of spring training which began
last month.

"My idea of a football schedule," said
Tatum, "is to play nothing but comparable
opponents. One of my main objectives
here will be to build up the
playing schedules."

Tatum remarked that football
schedules are usually planned
three years in advance and that
Maryland will not immediately
be able to schedule every op-
ponent it wants.

But already the big fellow has
made quite some progress
toward improvement of the Old
Liners' schedule and more im-
provement should show for the
vear after the coming schedule.

"We can only have as good
a football team as the Admin-
istration, the Alumni, the
faculty, and the student body
want," declared Tatum. "Ninety
per cent of a football game is
mental attitude and a support-
ing student body creates the
team attitude."

Tatum aims to whip up a
"good" student spirit. He feels ".
that the University should field
a team in every intercollegiate
sport.

Undefeated Delaware and
three other "Bowl" teams
are on Terrapins' 1947
Football Schedule

Terming basketball the "leading specta-
tor sport." Tatum foresaw crowds of from
10 to 12 thousand providing the University
had adequate facilities to handle the crowds.

Many see in the new arrangements the
dawning of a "golden era" in Maryland
athletics. Tatum admits that the post offers
many possibilities for the future of the
University.

Although Tatum's position as Athletic
Director will take much of his time, it is
understood that he will devote most of his
efforts to shaping up the '47 squad until
everything is running smoothly in that
sector.

He will then gradually assume other
responsibilities from Dean Geary Eppley,
who has been Director of Athletics.

Was Outstanding Tackle

When relieved of his athletic assignments,
Dean Epplev will devote full time to his
position as Dean of Men and Director of
Student Activities.

Coach Tatum was one of the Southern
Conference's outstanding tackles during
1032-34 when he played for the University
of North Carolina. He has been tied up
with football for the past 12 years.

The first five years he spent as assistant
coach to Carl Snavely at Cornell, also
handling the baseball team there.

The year 1940 saw Tatum back at North
Carolina as assistant coach, and in 1942
he was elevated to the head coaching posi-
tion. Entering the Navy in the fall of
that same year, he joined the coaching
staff of the powerful Iowa Pre-Flight eleven
in 1943.

In 1945 he became head coach of the
Jacksonville Naval Air Station aggregation.
After the close of the war Tatum signed
a three-year contract as head coach of
Oklahoma.

Completing only one year at that institu-
tion, he was released at his request to come
to Maryland.

Likes Those Steaks

A recent story about Coach Tatum in-
cluded: "A 6-foot 3-incher of some 240
pounds, the 33-year-old mentor is noted
for his hearty appetite and he also likes to
see his players well fed. At breakfast on
the day of a game the menu invariably
consists of thick steaks and potatoes, with
cereals and fruit juices for those of his
players who can put it away like the coach."

Tatum's Varsity coaching record is as
follows:

will be on Maryland's 1947 foot-
ball schedule, that being the
University of Delaware, which
holds a 25-game winning streak.

The game is listed to take
place at College Park on Octo-
ber 4th.

The games listed against Dela-
ware and Richmond will take
place on Friday nights.

A ten game schedule is the
plan of Coach Tatum.

North Carolina is on the
schedule for November 15th,
here, and Duquesne will be
played at Pittsburg, Nov. 8

Vanderbilt will be played in
Nashville on November 22nd
and, the following year, Vandy
will meet the Terps at home.

Maryland's gridiron slate lists
only five of last year's rivals, and
it happens that four of these
teams engaged in "bowl" games
on New Year's Day.

One of these, North Carolina State, was
defeated by Oklahoma (Tatum-coached).
34-13, in the 'Gator Bowl, Jacksonville.

The other three "bowl" teams to be en-
countered by the Old Liners are Delaware,
which trimmed Rollins College, 21-7, in
the Cigar Bowl; Virginia Poly, which lost
to Cincinnati, 18-6, in the Sun Bowl, and
North Carolina, beaten 20-10, by Georgia
in the Sugar Bowl.

The fifth team being held over from
last season is South Carolina, while missing
from the schedule will be Bainbridge Naval,
William and Mary, Washington and Lee
and Michigan State.

New teams on the program other than
Delaware (which has been tied once in
31 games, including its bowl test, and un-
lieaten since 1940), are Duke and West Vir-
ginia. The schedule:

September 27 — South Carolina, away.

October 4 — Delaware, at home.

October 11 — Richmond, at home.

October 18 — Duke, away.

October 25 — Virginia Poly, away.

November 1 — West Virginia, at home.

November 8 — Duquesne. away.

November 15 — North Carolina, here.

November 22 — Vanderbilt, away.

November 29 — North Carolina State, at home.

It is probable that the Richmond game,
now set for a Saturday, will be played
on Friday night, October 10, in order not
to conflict with the Navy-Duke game here
at the Stadium on October 11. Maryland's
game with North Carolina also is booked
at College Park on the same day Navy
meets Georgia Tech here, but in this one
the Tars and Terps will have to vie for
patronage.

Authorization has been given the con-
struction of a massive new football stadium
to be completed by the football season of
1948. Plans for the structure are now being
drawn up by architects. The building will
be located in the area east of Byrd Stadium.

MEET MARYLAND'S COACHES

Jim Tatum, new 33-year-old head foot-
ball coach and athletic director, a sketch of
whom appears in this issue, has picked him-
self some youthful and capable assistants
in Walter Driskill, George Barclay and Bill
Meek. Barclay is 35, Driskill is the same age
as Tatum and Meek, the baby of the
quartet, is only 26. This gives 'an average
age for the four of 31 ^4 years.

Driskill, who came with Tatum from
Oklahoma, has been an ambitious student
and able Naval officer during the war along
with his grid activities. In fact, until he
went into the service, studies and athletics
went hand and hand with him.

Is Native Of Texas

Born in Temple, Texas, on September
20, 1913, Driskill attended high school at
Lockhart in the Lone Star State where he
played football, basketball and baseball, be-
fore going to the University of Colorado
in 1932. A history major, he played tackle
for the Bualoes for three years before
getting his B.A. in 1936.

While assistant coach at his Alma Mater
from 1936 to 1940, he continued his studies
and earned an M.A. degree in Chinese
History. The 1938 Colorado eleven, which
he helped coach and on which the famous
Whizzer White played, opposed Rice in the
Cotton Bowl but lost, 28-14.

Driskill went to Wyoming University as
assistant football coach in 1941 and while
there continued his studies for a doctorate.

THE TERRAPINS' NEW GRID MENTORS

At the right is Jim Tatum, University of Maryland's new head football coach. Seated at the left is George

Barclay, assistant coach, and sighting in over the top is Assistant Coach Walter Driskill. The insert,

upper right, shows Bill Meek, assistant coach.

Has Many Navy Decorations

He went into the Navy in 1942 and
served until late in 1945. His first assign-
ment in the Navy was at the Academic
Desk in the Preflight Office under Lieut.
Comdr. Tom Hamilton (now captain and
head football coach at the Naval Academy)
where he remained from April, 1942. until
October, 1943.

Driskill then saw some strenuous service
on the U.S.S. Wasp from October, 1943,
to June, 1945, as assistant first lieutenant,
assistant damage control officer and acting-
first lieutenant. He completed his Navy
career as supervisor of the sports program
at Georgia Preflight School from June to
October, 1945.

His Navy decorations include American
Theater, Asiatic and Pacific Theater with
nine stars, Philippine Liberation, two stars:
Bronze Star Medal, Gold Star in lieu of
second Bronze Star Medal, Navy Unit Cita-
tion and Victory Medal.

Driskill, who is married and has a 3\/ 2
year old daughter, was assistant to Jim
Tatum, Maryland's new head coach and
athletic director, at Oklahoma during the
1946 season.

Barclay Was All-America

Barclay left a job as line coach at Dart-
mouth to come to Maryland. He was the
first all-America choice in the history of the
University of North Carolina where he
played guard in 1932. 1933 and 1934 and
was a team-mate of Tatum during those
years.

Like Tatum and Driskill Barclay served
in the physical and military training pro-
gram for naval aviation in 1943. 1944 and
1945.

After graduating from North Carolina,
Barclay became an assistant coach at
V. M. I. in 1936 and returned to help
at his alma mater in 1937, 1938 and 1939.

In 1940 he moved to Dartmouth, where
he served until entering the Navy. He
returned to Dartmouth last year. While
in the Navy he coached at the Georgia
Pre-Flight School and under Tatum at the
Jacksonville Naval Air Station.

He was scholastic star at Har-Brack High
School, Pittsburgh, before matriculating at
North Carolina. He is married and the
father of two girls.

Meek Stars For Tennessee

Meek was a star quarterback at Ten-
nessee in 1940, 1941 and 1942. He was
a captain in the Army for four years after
leaving Tennessee and tutored the 4th Army
football and baseball teams at Fort Ben-
ning during this period and last fall turned
out the national championship service out-
fit. Two bad knees, football legacies, kept
him from overseas duty.

He played for Tennessee on two Sugar
Bowl teams, the outfit of 1940, which lost
to Boston College, 13-19, and the 1942
eleven which beat Tulsa, 14-7.

Meek was born in Waterbury, but his
parents moved to Birmingham, Ala., when
he was a youngster. He attended West
End High School of that city, where he
took part in football, basketball, baseball
and track. He entered Tennessee in the
spring of 1939 and was graduated four
vears later.

Among his players for two years on
the 4th Infantry team was Tommy Mont.
Maryland ace quarterback before the war
and in 1946. Meek is married and has
two young sons.

BOXING

Catholic University

A team handicapped by four substitu-
tions won for the University of Maryland
over a tough and heavy Catholic Univer-
sity boxing squad. It was a great win before
a turn-away crowd and reflected great credit
upon four Maryland substitutes who turned
in sterling performances against superior
odds.

In the 125 pound class little Danny
McLaughlin was breezing to a sure win
o\er Catholic University's much heavier
Tom Cronin when Danny sustained a cut
eye in the first round. Tiny Danny sub-
stituted for Al Salkowski who has been ill.
Under intercollegiate rules it was called a
draw and that was CUA's first break of a
meet in which the visitors got all the breaks,
admitted it very graciously and had no
kick coming.

At 130 Andy Quattrocchi, Maryland's
dynamic puncher, came in against hefty
Tom Arnold who had trained down to meet
the limit. Arnold was big. strong and
game. He shook Andy up with several
solid punches but Quattrocchi was right
there with harder punches of his own.
In the second, after a smashing right to the
jaw, Andy landed a left hook that caused
a cut over Arnold's eye. Since Quattrocchi
was well ahead on points he won the TKO
decision there. Under collegiate rules a cut
eve or similar facial laceration in round one
is a draw. If sustained after round one the
contestant ahead on points gets the green
light. This Quattrocchi's punches fairlv
whistle while they work and when they
land its a case of "Open dhe doah, Rich-
ard!"

At 135 little Davev Lewis, who has been
boxing as low as 125, took the place of
classy Danny Smith against Cal Nisson,
who had been dried out from the 145 pound
class. Davey. a game, aggressive beginner
who is going to be a very good ringman
with more schooling, tied in the first round,
won the second on courageous aggressive-
ness and barely lost out when he tired
against his rugged opponent toward the
end of the third. On two of the officials'
slips Davey lost bv only one point and
that's anybodv's fight. The other slip called
it a draw.

At 145 CUA had Billy Groves, strong,
husky and experienced and a great puncher,
who, schooled by his father, a good pro-
fessional, has been boxing for years.

Due to the illness of Tommy Maloney
and the absence of Billy Greer, Maryland
used newcomer Johnny Albarano against
Groves. Albarano is, very shortly, going to
be a pretty darned good mitman. All he
needs is schooling to back up his excellent
physical condition. This was his second
bout and he has been trying out for boxing
only a few months. On paper he hardly
belonged in the same ring with Grovev
Albarano lost the first two rounds by stay-
ing away, moving and jabbing. Groves
nailed Johnny with Sunday punches but
the well conditioned Terp never blinked
an eve and kept on coming. In the third
he opened up with a Garrison finish thai
took the play away from Groves and also
took the round by a big margin. Here was
a great moral victory for a green kid who
is going places by the right process of try-
ing all the time and staying in great shape.

In that third Albarano landed all over
Groves. On two slips he lost by only one
point. On the other it was called a winner.
That's calling 'em mighty close and was
really a great upset.

At 155 Maryland's classy Ed Rieder had
entirely too much artillery for CU's game
Tom Moody. Every punch Moody tossed
was met by smashing counterpunches fired
l>\ the Terp and in less than a round it was
halted to save the reeling and badly beaten
Moody.

At 165 Bob Gregson, Maryland, turned in
a masterful bit of boxing and footwork to
easily decision game Hugh McDonald, CUA
lad who had trained down from 175. Mac
was game, aggressive and willing but was
in for a sweet scented boxing lesson all
the way. Gregson took all three rounds
on all three score cards.

At 175 Bob Hafer, Maryland, substituted
for Kennv Malone when the latter had to
move up to the heavy division due to the
absence of Arnold Gibbs. Hafer, like Alba-
rano and Lewis, is a beginner, game, will-
ing and anxious to learn. He's learning
fast as he proved against CUA's Hermino
I'oblette, a mighty good boy- It was nip
and tuck all the way and the third one
of the night that was almost too close to
call. A very good scrap with two slips read-
ing "CUA" and one reading "Maryland."

With the meet tied and the audience
tense, CUA put in big Bernie Cody, tall
and over 200. Maryland sent in 175 pound
Kennv Malone to carry the load. Kenny,
who takes the job of representing Maryland
seriouslv. remarked, "I'll give it all I have."
He took every* round from the big fellow
in the opposite corner, banged him with left
and right hooks to the body and smashing
hooks and overhand rights to the chin.
He staggered Cody repeatedly. It was a tre-
mendous melee with the Terp always ahead.
The decision yvas unanimous by a wide
margin.

Referee was Rav Gadsbv. Villanova and
Naval Academy. Judges yvere Ray Boyven.
of Washington and Eddie Leonard of Balti-
more. Timekeeper yvas Professor George D.
Quigley with Ted Stell as announcer.

A great win for a great team. Head
Coach Heinie Miller commented. "This
noon we would have settled for a draw,
y\'e yvere that badly handicapped. Noyv
all we can say is that we're mighty proud
of this fine team. Boxing looks good here
for this year and the next. I have two fine
assistant coaches in Fausto Rubini and
Frank Cronin plus a lot of help from New-
ton Cox. The boxers are wonderful to
handle. They improve with each show and
carry out instructions. Its a real pleasure
lo be with them."

Note that all three split decisions went to
the visitors. Maryland hands out no
"homers."

South Carolina

Maryland's ringmasters struck a tough
and rugged group at Columbia, S. C, in
the South Carolina Gamecocks boxing team.
Maryland yvon, 5 to 3.

At 125, back in form, Maryland's Al
Salkoyvski gave a truly masterful exhibi-
tion of on balance counter punch boxing,
punctuated yvith two clean knockdowns to
take the unanimous decision from Johnny
Dayves, a game and yvilling performer from
South Carolina.

Lightning struck again in the 130 pound
class yvhen flashy Andy Quattrocchi loosed
two right hand thunderbolts that only half
the audience saw. It happened early in
round one. The dynamic punches of the
flashy Marylander layed out Ray White,
of South Carolina in real short order.

Danny Smith, Maryland's courageous lit-
tle 135 pounder, again caught a tartar in
rugged Tommy Watson. It was nip and
tuck for two innings yvith clean, hard
punching on both sides. In the third
Smith began to solve Watson's wider hooks
by stepping inside of them and rifling
straight right hands "doyvn the slot." That
tore it. The decision in favor of Smithy
yvas unanimous. It was a hard one to win.
He had to be RIGHT to do it.

At 145 South Carolina had Ray Avant,
a smart and highly rated fighter who has
boxed as far away as Honolulu. He had
plenty of everything on Maryland's new-
comer, Johnny Albarano, in there for only
his third time. This was one of those
things where you could write your own
ticket on Avant at any odds, except that
Albarano is coming fast and is always
in grade XXX condition. He stayed right
in there with the flashy Avant. The latter
pulled out of it only by a couple of points
on two billets yvhile one judge yvrote it for
Albie. If the tyvo ever meet again don't
sell Johny Albarano short. In fact don't
EVER sell him short no matter who is in
the other corner.

At 155 Maryland's dynamic Eddie Rieder
again moved out to counter punch it out
yvith Hank Cannon. The first round was
a small yvar with the Terrapin neatly ahead
on points. All punches were for Sunday
and w'ith whiskers on them. In the second
Rieder dumped Cannon three times in a
royv and some kind soul from the South
Carolina corner tossed in the Turkish em-
broidery because our Eddie was really get-
ting to their boy.

At 165 The Terrapin's classy Bob Greg-
son picked up a hot potato in southpaw
Bob Wilson. It yvas a great go for three
rounds and one of those things that could
have gone either yvay and should, it seemed,
have been called even. Gregson, yvith just
a little more attention to footwork, might
have aced out ahead but he elected to
punch it out with Wilson who was no
man's patsy yvhen it came to that put and
take business. Wilson yvon.

At 175 Maryland sent in Bob Hafer.
Kennv Malone could have gone here since
he was down to that weight and South
Carolina elected to forfeit the heavy bout,
but it wouldn't have been any too fair for
Hafer who trained for it and made the
trip. So Coach Heinie Miller took a chance
yvith Hafer and Bob was not quite good
enough to yvin over Tommy Spann, of
South Carolina. But after all a game kid,
standing by, willing to go "on call," rates
a chance, if possible, to get his letter.

The officials were Orville Rogers, former
Citadel heavyyveight and Conference Cham-
pion Claude Sapp, former North Carolina

welterweight star; Claude Cappleman,
former Presbyterian heavyweight luminary.
Rogers was a Major in the army, Sapp a
Lieutenant Commander in the Navy, Cap-
pleman a Major in the Marine Corps.
Coach Lofton, for South Carolina, himself
a former Major in the Marines, forgot to
let our side know, however, that all three
officials are currently law students at the
University of South Carolina, Maryland's
opponents. All three were o.k. and did a
fine job.

North Carolina

Handicapped by the absence of Danny
Smith, 135, in Texas visiting his sick mother,
Maryland's boxing team journeved to North
Carolina to take the measure of Coach Mike
Ronman's Tar Heels, 6 to 2. All of Caro-
lina's points were gained by four draw deci-
sions and there were quite some few people
about the ring who thought all four of the
draws should have been written for Mary-
land.

It was necessary to juggle the line-up and
only two of Maryland's men, Ed Rieder and
Bob Hafer, were not outweighed by one
full class.

In the 125 pound opener 117 pound
Danny McLaughlin doled out another of
his boxing lessons to take the nod over Bill
Sumas of the Tar Heels.

At 130 Al Salkowski, moved up from 125,
boxed as he pleased against Charles Lam-
beth. It looked like another Maryland win
but the thing came up a draw.

At 135 Andy Quattrocchi, soporific sock-
ologist, moved up from 130 to take good
care of Conway Rose, game, stocky and
willing Tarheel. Rose and Quattrocchi were
hospital corpsmen in the Navy together,
serving with Marines. They swapped night
watches and played cards with each other.
But this was something else again. After
flooring Rose in round one and going
through some hectic milling from then on,
Andy finally layed it in there right on the
button. Rose stiffened like a board and
pitched forward on his face, as dead as last
year's corn shucks. This boy Andy really
belts, but convincingly.

At 145 Johnny Albarano was in there
with a pretty good boy in Charles Norton.
Norton had the lead for two rounds but in
the third, Albarano, a model of perfect
physical condition, turned on the heat and
let the barrage fly from all angles. The
referee stopped it with Norton tired and
all in, both arms dangling. T.K.O. in three.

Eddie Rieder, Maryland's smashing 155
pounder, picked up a live wire in Dick
Young, of the Tar Heels. Young has been
hanging everything over and is a seasoned,
experienced fighter. He won the Texas and
Carol inas Golden Gloves and, during the
war, put in a lot of time boxing with
World's Middleweight Champion Tony
Zale. All of which meant little to Rieder.
He landed the better punches and forced
the fighting. Many thought Rieder had
clearly won. It came up even again.

At 165 North Carolina forfeited to Mary-
land's Bob Gregson. The Tarheels' entry
could not make the weight.

At 175 Maryland's Bob Hafer, still a bit
too good natured for the boxing business,
seemed to have the better of a rugged melee
with Bill Bragaw. This one too came up

50 50.

In the heavyweight class Maryland's Ken
Malone, 1751/2, took on Carolina's 220 pound
Bill Spiegel. This one came up even too
and seemed to be away off the beam. Kenny
outboxed the big fellow and was much sur-
prised to note that he pulled up with only
a draw nod.

There were no judges. Al Mann, former
Duke University boxer, was the referee. It
was noted after the North Carolina meet
that no Maryland boxer has been knocked
down this year and that all knockdowns
and knockouts thus far have been scored
by the Terrapins.

The reaction at North Carolina was "How
in the world did you people ever lose to
Virginia?" We can't answer that one either.

BASKETBALL

NAVY

Navy's basketball team picked the coldest
clay of the year to cool out Maryland's
hot basketball team and did so emphatically,
55-27

Navy ran the Terps ragged in taking
the one-sided victory and shattered Mary-
land's five-game wining streak and estab-
lished the Middies' record at 7 wins in eight
starts.

Making up in skill and aggressiveness
what they spotted the Terps in size, the
Middies shattered the myth of Maryland
power. The victory came by way of revenge
for Navy's only defeat at George Washing-
ton's hands two weeks ago. G. W. was
later beaten by Maryland.

Captain Ken Shugart provided most of
the momentum in Navy's victory, slipping
in 14 points, and setting up the bulk of
the plays. Shugart teamed with Forward
Jack Robbins in harassing Maryland's im-
potent offense, and the wiry little pair ran
circles around their visitors.

Navy's superiority was evident in both
periods. The Middies commanded a 27-14
advantage at the midway mark and con-
tinued their runaway throughout the game.

The Terps simply were not in the ball
game. Bill Brown managed for ten points,
but he fouled out midway in the second
half, and what little joy the handful of
Maryland rooters had experienced went
with him.

Waldrop, snagging rebound after rebound,
and Don Dick contributed more than their
share to the Navy cause. Waldrop sank ten
points, and Dick, nine to trail Shugart in
the scoring.

North Carolina

Fighting off a last-minute drive by the
powerful University of North Carolina
basketball team, the University of Maryland
dribblers came through with a surprise vic-
tory over the Tarheels, 61 — 57.

Carolina, a distinct favorite in the ball
game found in Maryland a rejuvenated out-
fit over the one which lost to Navy a few
days previously on Navy's small court.

The Maryland boys were hot and there
simply was no stopping them as Tommy
Mont, Johnny Shumate, Johnny Edwards,
and Bill Brown combined to send 4,000
Maryland rooters into hysteria with their
sensational shooting.

Maryland grabbed the lead from the
opening whistle and never relinquished it.

but the Old Liners were hard pressed, espe-
cially in the last five minutes of play when
North Carolina came within four points
of overhauling the Terps at 53 — 49.

The Carolina attack was sparked all the
way by its big center, Johnny Dillon, who
scored 19 points and by Bob Paxton, sharp-
shooting forward, who chalked up 14
points. But neither of these worthies could
break through the Maryland defense in
the first half.

The Old Liners held a nine-point advan-
tage at half time, 33 — 24.

The two teams really got warmed up in
the second session,, but Maryland was al-
ways in command. With the score at 53 — 49
in the Old Liners' favor, and Carolina press-
ing, a pair of quick goals under the basket
by Tom Mont clinched the ball game for
Maryland. Only two minutes remained to
be played and Carolina tried desperately to
come from behind all to no avail.

Maryland's floor game bewildered the
Tarheels. Inability of the North Carolina
outfit to bottle up the four Maryland high
scorers resulted in a disastrous defeat for
them and an outstanding triumph for
Maryland.

Washington & Lee

Maryland's basketball team staged a scor-
ing splurge in the late moments of what
had been a close contest to chalk up their
second victory of the season over a hard-
fighting Washington & Lee quint 59 — 50.

The lead changed hands nine times in
the first half, but the Generals managed
to take a 24 — 21 lead going into the rest
period. The second semester was only
three minutes old when Maryland regained
the lead only to lose it again with only a
little over four minutes remaining in the
see-saw battle.

It was then that Maryland put on their
steaming finish and rung up 13 points to
jump into a long lead as the Generals
were getting only four points. Washington
and Lee added two more floor goals in
the waning moments, but they were only
consolation points as the ball game was
already over.

The victory moved Maryland up to third
place in the Southern Conference behind
Duke and North Carolina and gave the
Terps six loop victories in eight starts.
It also assured the Old Liners of an
invitation to the Southern Conference
tournament scheduled next month at Dur-
ham.

Victor Turyn, the Terp football quarter-
back, was the big gun of the Maryland
attack registering 15 points despite the fact
that he played less than half the contest.
The slim, wiry West Virginian dunked
seven times from the floor and made good
his lone try from the foul stripe.

Georgetown

"Our team is red hot!" just about tells
the storv of Coach Burton Shipley's Terra-
pin basketeers as thev rolled up another
win, this time over Georgetown, 55 to 49.

Georgetown's stubborn defense held
Maryland's high scoring Bill Brown and
Tommy Mont to one basket each, but Vic
Turyn came through with a 17-point per-
formance to spark the Terp offense and
head both teams in scoring.

The Hoyas outscored the Terps, 21 bas-
kets to 15, from the floor, but were out-
gunned by 25 free tosses as compared to the
seven they were able to net.

Referees Moskowitz and Shirley called a
total of 45 fouls, 26 against Georgetown
and 19 against Maryland.

Maryland got off to a 2 — lead on a
pair of free throws by Turyn at the start
and worked up a 15 — 4 advantage before the
Hoyas began to make any kind of a show-
ing. At half-time the Terps still led by 26
—16.

Georgetown came back strong from the
intermission to pull up within one point of
the Old Liners at 32—31 and matched the
Terps basket for basket until two straight
tallies by Turyn shot the hosts to a 42 — 37
margin.

Maryland pulled well to the front at
53 — 43, but Georgetown struck back with a
pair of goals by Brown and another by
Leddy before Monf whipped in the game's
final counter for Maryland.

JOHNNY ALBARANO

INDUSTRIOUS TRAINER

Johnny Albarano, twice a last minute
substitute at 145 with the boxing team is
the first fellow into the gymn and the last
fellow out. When he's through boxing he
punches the bag and skips the rope and,
most days, he sweeps out the gymn. Johnny
works in the dining hall and. on the day of
the C. U. A. bouts insisted on doing his
dining hall work because he "did not want
anybody else doing my job." His great
physical condition and determination figures
to send him places in any sport he studies
hard enough.

TERPS WHIP SEVEN

The University of Maryland won a seven-
school rifle meet in New York City on the
City College of New York range with a
1,386 point total.

New York U. was second with 1,341,
trailed by Columbia and the hosts with
1,321 each, Brooklyn Poly, 1,296; Fordham,
1,292 and Cooper Union, 1,136.

Arthur Cook, Maryland's National Junior
champion, led the scorers with 287 out of
a possible 300.

COACHES MATMEN

Under the leadership of William E. ("Solly")

Krouse, above, Head Wrestlinq Coach attached to

the Physical Education Department, wrestling has

been resumed at the University of Maryland.

WRESTLING

Coached by big Solly Krause, Maryland —
and in a hurry not unlike the manner in
which Doyle Royal put over tennis and
soccer — wrestling is back on the University
of Maryland athletic schedule.

The Terp matmen lost to North Caro-
lina State 25 to II, won from Loyola 25 to
11 and dropped a close one to Washington
and Lee, 17 to 11.

Moving into their fourth match of the
season the following wrestlers in the Old
Liners' lineup were undefeated; Reds Mar-
schak, 175; Bob Gamble 136; John Gur-
ney 145; Blake Lowe 136; Ed Wilson 165.

Virginia Military Institute took six of
eight matches to defeat the Maryland
wrestling team, 26-8, in a Southern Con-
ference meet.

The Terrapin grapplers won both of the
matches in the two heaviest weights, Elmer

GREAT LITTLE GUY

Little Danny McLaughlin, Maryland 117
pounder who boxes and wins at 125, was
greatly disappointed when his bout with
Tom Cronin, C.U.A., was halted in round
one due to a cut eye sustained by Danny.
Worried because he hadn't gotten enough
exercise, Danny, after the bouts, donned a
sweat suit and, up until midnight, did an
hour's road work.

APPRECIATION

During the ceremonies incident to the
recent West Point-Maryland boxing meet,
Judge William P. Cole, Jr., Chairman of
Maryland's Board of Regents, on behalf of
the University, presented to Army's Coach
Bill Cavanagh a plaque emblematic of
Billy's many years of work in the interest
of college boxing. Upon returning to West
Point Coach Cavanagh wrote:

"May I take this opportunity to privately
express my appreciation for your recent
thoughtf ulness and kindness.

"Upon my return to West Point, I
proudly showed your gift to Lt. General

Taylor, the Superintendent of the U. S.
Military Academy, to Colonel Jones, the
Graduate Manager of Athletics and to Lt.
Colonel Greene, the Master of the Sword.
They were agreeably surprised and thought
it a wonderful gesture on the part of your
University.

"I shall keep the gift as a special re-
membrance of the fine relationship that has
existed between the University of Maryland
and the U. S. Military Academy and shall
treasure it, because of the sentiment so
adequately inscribed upon it."

"These Terrapins Were Champions!"

However, the big thrill of the campaign
came in the game with the Navy attackmen
at Annapolis when the Navy was con-
quered by a 7 to 2 count. It was a torrid
battle, fought out under a glaring sun and
the Old Liners had to show real class to
gain the upper-hand by such a margin.

The game was the high spot of the sea-
son from the standpoint of attendance, as
fully 6,000 persons withstood the heat to
witness the annual struggle. The play
throughout was just about as hot as the
day and every point that came Maryland's
way was fully earned.

Few, if any contests, in any sport are
as spiritedly played as was this one be-
tween the Middies and Terps on the lacrosse
field. The 1936 title carried more dash
than usual, although the play was sports-
manlike at all times.

Maryland's 1936 schedule was the tough-
est tackled by any outfit in the country.
In fact, it was the only list that contained
all the big teams of the State, the hot-bed
of the stick-wielding sport.

It might also be pointed out that two of
the big guns of the Mount Washington
Club were former Old Line stars, Fred
Stieber. high scoring in home, and Nor-
wood Sothoron, who was equally as good
at center or in a defense position.

A farmer and his wife, firm believers in
reincarnation, had made a pact that the
first one to die would strive to communi-
cate with the other. Six months after the
husband died, the widow was overjoyed
to hear him speaking to her, but she soon
became annoyed as he persisted in describ-
ing the beauty of a cow.

"Gracious me," said the exasperated
wife, "here I am dying to know the secrets
of reincarnation and you keep talking to
me about a fool cow."

"Oh," said the dead husband. "I forgot

MARYLAND UNIVERSITY'S SCHOOL OF LAW

Many of Old Line State's
Leading Legal Figures
Graduated from Second
Oldest of University of
Maryland's Schools. . . .

SECOND oldest of the branches of the
University now in existence, the School
of Law of which Dr. Roger Howell is Dean,
was one of the three "colleges or faculties"
which the General Assembly of Maryland in
1812 authorized the College of Medicine of
Maryland to "constitute, appoint and an-
nex to itself" in order to establish "an
University by the name and under the title
of the University of Maryland."

In accordance with the authority so given,
the Faculty of Law, consisting of David
Hoffman, William Pinckney, Robert Good-
loe Harper, John Purviance, Robert Smith,
Nicholas Brice and Nathaniel Williams —
all leaders of the Bar — was annexed to the
Faculty of Physic on January 6, 1813, and
proceeded to appoint one of their number,
David Hoffman, as the first (and appar-
ently the only) Professor of Law. It was
not, however, until ten years later, in 1823,
that the school was actually opened and
regular instruction was begun. Of the law
schools now operating in the United States,
there are only three where instruction was
offered at an earlier date — Columbia in
1773, William and Mary in 1779, and Har-
vard in 1817.

Planned Ten Years

In the interval between 1813 and 1823,
Hoffman was devoting much thought and

time to the planning and development of a
course of law study. In 1817 he published

"A Course of Legal Study Addressed to
Students and the Profession Generally,"
which attracted much attention and re-
ceived high praise from commentators
throughout the country. The North Amer-
ican Review devoted to it a review of
thirty-three pages, pronouncing it to be
"by far the most perfect system for the
study of law which has ever been offered
to the public — a model for the direction
of students." Chief Justice John Marshall,
said that it was "calculated to elevate and
dignify the profession"; Justice Story de-
clared it "an honor to the country"; DeWitt
Clinton regarded it "as an invaluable guide
to legal knowledge."

In Advance of the Times

The course of legal study set out in this
treatise was an ideal one, as Hoffman
realized, and would have required some
six or seven years for its completion. It
was far in advance of the times in regarding
as essential to the training of the lawyer
a broad basis of social studies — moral and
political philosophy, political economy,
comparative and statutory law were all
emphasized. Indeed, it may be questioned
whether legal education has ever ap-
proached the ideal that Hoffman envisaged.

In 1821, he published a "Syllabus of a
Course of Lectures on Law proposed to be
delivered in the University of Maryland —
Addressed to the Students of Law in the
United States." This provided for three
hundred and one lectures, "embracing every
title know to the great body of law, viz.;

Ethics, commercial, statute, national, Ro-
man, Admirality, mercantile and constitu-
tional law." In 1822 he gave notice in the
newspapers of his intention to begin lec-
tures, and in 1823 instruction was com-
menced.

At this time he published a ser-
enty-six page "Introductory to a Course of
Lectures now Delivering in the University
of Maryland." The extensive plan of study
out-lined in his prior publication he seems
now to have realized was impracticable and
lie speaks of the course as taking eighteen
months to two years to complete. Subse-
quent introductories were also published,
lamenting the "want of suitable encour-
agement" and the lack of zeal of law stu-
dents for availing themselves of the facili-
ties for study afforded them.

"Maryland Law Institute"

The School of Law was during this
period called the Maryland Law Institute
and was held in "a spacious and com-
modious building on South Street, near
Market Street." No records are extant,
nothing to show the number and names
of the students or whether any degrees were
ever awarded. In Judge Chesnut's article
on the School of Law in Cordell's History
of the University of Maryland, it is said
that there were about thirty students in at-
tendance in 1831, and that the school re-
ceived students from eleven States and two
foreign countries.

We know more of David Hoffman than
we do of his school. In many ways he was
a most amazing man. Eminent in his pro-
fession, he was also extremely widely read
in other fields and the list of his published

DEAN OF THE SCHOOL OF LAW

The above is a photograph of Dean Roger Howell, from a painting by Waldemar F. Dietrich. This
painting was presented to the University of Maryland by the student body of the law school in 1935. The
painting now hangs in the student lounge of the Law School Building.

Dean Howell was born in Baltimore in 1895 and attended private schools there, Johns Hopkins University,
and the University of Maryland School of Law. Received the A.B. degree in 1914 and the Ph.D. degree
in 1917 from Johns Hopkins University and was Fellow in Political Science there in 1916-17, his last year
of graduate work; also played on the baseball team two years (Johns Hopkins beat Maryland both years
incidentally).

Received the LL.B. degree in 1917 also from the University of Maryland, the law work being taken con-
currently with graduate work at Johns Hopkins. Served in World War I 1917-19, as 2nd Lieut., 1st Lieut,
and Capt., U. S. Infantry with 17th Infantry and 33rd Machine Gun Battalion.

Resigned commission 1919 and practiced law in New York with the firm of Cravath and Henderson during
1919 and in Baitimore as member of firm of Maloy, Brady, Howell & Yost 1920-27.

Appointed professor of law University of Maryland 1927; assistant dean of law school 1930; dean of law
school 1931. Member of Phi Gamma Delta; Phi Beta Kappa; Gamma Eta Gamr.a legal fraternity; Order
of the Coif (legal honor society); Maryland State Bar Association (vice-president 1934); Bar Association
of Baltimore City; American Bar Association; American Law Institute. Dean Howell was a member of
the State Commission on Emergency War Legislation and advisor to the Commission on Revision of the
Election Laws.

writings evidences the astonishing variety
of his interests. Among these, for instance,
was his "Chronicles Selected from the
Originals of Cartaphilus," which was in-
tended to be a six volume history of the
world in the Christian era presented
through the legend of the Wandering Jew,
to collect the materials for which he spent
several years in Europe; only three volumes
were ever actually published. He received
honorary degrees from Oxford and Got-
tingen as well as from his own university.
His "Resolutions in Regard to Professional
Deportment" largely anticipated the pres-
ent canons of legal ethics of the American
Bar Association.

Hoffman's relations with the University
Trustees were far from friendly and in-

deed he seems to have been sued for the
recovery of the library and furniture of
the School. He ceased lecturing and the
Law Institute was suspended in 1836. No
attempt seems to have been then made
to fill his place or to continue the work of
the Law School, though the Faculty of Law
remained technically in existence.

However, in 1869, the school was re-
vived, upon the initiative of Professor
Christopher Johnson of the Faculty of
Medicine. The two surviving members of
the Faculty of Law, Judge George W. Dob-
bin and John H. B. Latrobe, filled the
vacancies on the Faculty by electing Messrs.
George William Brown, Bernard Carter,
H. Clay Dallam and John P. Poe; Judge
Dobbin was made Dean and Judge Robert

N. Martin and Judge John A. Inglis were
appointed professors. The> .two professors
seem to have carried the entire teaching
load at first; both of them had occupied
judicial positions in the Sout&i Judge Inglis
having been a member of the Supreme
Court of South Carolina, and had come to
Baltimore following the Civil War. Judge
Martin died the following summer, 1 - and Was
succeeded by another former judge ifrom
the South, Judge Alexander H. Handy,
who had been a member of the Supreme
Court of Mississippi. Mr.- Poe was added to
the teaching staff in 1870, teaching at night,
and was joined by other members of the
Baltimore bar on the return to Mississippi
in 1871 of Judge Handy and the death in
1878 of Judge Inglis. From then until 1923,
the instruction in the law school was car-
ried on entirely by members of the Balti-
more bench and bar, all of them then or
later leaders of the profession in the State.

Two Year Course

The course of study from 1869 to V882
was a two year one. For several years,
however, a student could enter directly into
the Senior class, take concurrently the sub-
jects scheduled for both classes, and com-
plete the entire course in one year; in 1882,
this was changed to make entry directly into
the Senior class conditional on passing an
examination. The course was extended to
three years in 1883, but for a considerable
period thereafter it was possible to com-
plete the course in two years, and admis-
sion on examination directly into one of
the upper classes was permitted though ap-
parently not encouraged. Classes were held
in the late afternoon and evening, a practice
which continued until 1918, when sharply
decreased enrollment resulting from war
conditions in World War I caused the after-
noon classes to be discontinued. From 1918
until 1925 the School was entirely an
evening school. k .

Great Instructors

During this period, instruction was given
entirely by leading members of the Balti-
more bench and bar, as was true in the
great majority of American law schools of
the time. From 1884 till his death in 1910,
Mr. John P. Poe was dean of the faculty,
and the teaching staff included at various
times such legal giants of those days as
Mr. Poe himself, Bernard Carter, Major
Venable, Charles Marshall, Edgar Gans,
Judge Charles E. Phelps, Charles McHenry
Floward, Judge John C. Rose, Joseph C.
France, and other great leaders of the Bar.
Mr. Poe was succeeded as dean by Judge
Henry D. Harlan, who had been secretary
of the faculty for many years, and who
served as dean until 1913. Two other law
schools, the Baltimore Law School and the
Baltimore University of Law, which had
consolidated under the name of the Balti-
more Law School in 1911, were merged into
the University of Maryland School of Law
in 1913; and in 1920, with the consolida-
tion of the University of Maryland at Bal-
timore and the Maryland State College at
College Park, the School of Law, together
with the other Baltimore schools of the
University, became an integral part of the
State University.

Judge Harlan and his associates on the
Law School faculty felt strongly that it was
necessary to strengthen and modernize the
school in its organization, facilities, policies

ot admission and instruction, in order to
bring it up to the standards of legal educa-
tion prevailing in the better schools else-
where. The greatly increased complexity
of law as a science and a profession had
made inadequate older methods of study
and curricula that were in their time en-
tirely satisfactory; this was reflected in the
standards promulgated in 1921 by the
American Bar Association.

Accordingly steps were instituted in 1925
looking toward that end. A day division
for students devoting their full time to
their studies was added; the evening divi-
sion course was lengthened to four years;
full time instructors were added to the
faculty and the curriculum reorganized; the
library was greatly increased; the require-
ments for admission were increased to at
least two full years of college work at an
approved college; and in 1931, with the con-
struction of the present law school build-
ing, adequate physical facilities were fur-
nished. The School was approved by the
Section on Legal Education of the Amer-
ican Bar Association in 1930, and admitted
to membership in the Association of Amer-
ican Law Schools in 1931; it is the only
law school in the State so recognized and
offering what is regarded by those organ-
izations as proper preparation for the prac-
tice of law. Subsequent in 1938, the school
was granted a chapter of the Order of the
Coif, the national legal honor society cor-
responding to Phi Beta Kappa in the aca-
demic world, whose chapters are granted
only to those schools maintaining the high-
est standards of legal training and scholar-
ship.

Made Great Contribution

Throughout its history, the Law School
has contributed largely, and it is believed
worthily, to the professional and public life
of the State. Here is where the majority
of the State's bench and bar have been
trained. Since its revival in 1869, it has
graduated some 3300 men and women;
among them, one finds the names of a large
proportion of the past and present leaders
of the Maryland bar as well as many who

have won eminence in the profession else-
where; one finds the names of distinguished
members of the State and Federal judiciary;
one finds the names of many men promi-
nent in the public affairs of the State, of
governors, senators, members of State and
national legislatures, one finds the names
of men who have attained prominence in
the business world and in the fields of
commerce and finance.

Among its alumni are two of the three
Federal judges in Maryland; the Chief
Judges of the Court of Appeals; the Chief
Judge and nine of the Associate Judges of
the Supreme Bench of Baltimore City;
fourteen of the judges sitting in the Mary-
land county circuits. In the national gov-
ernment, both United States Senators from
Maryland and one member of the House
of Representatives and the newly ap-
pointed Solicitor General of the United
States are its graduates. For the first time
since 1920, the Governor of the State is
not an alumnus of the Law School; but it
is still well represented in the State gov-
ernment, with the Attorney General, the
State Treasurer, six State Senators and 18
members of the House of Delegates.

The Faculty

The School at the present time has a
faculty of eight full time and ten part-

time instructors, the latter members of the
Baltimore bench and bar, and an enroll-
ment of something over 300 students. While
it is primarily a teaching institution, train-
ing its students for the practice of their
future profession, members of its faculty
also carry on regularly research activities,
both in connection with the courses taught
by them and with matters of general in-
terest to the bench and bar in the State.
Since 1936, the School has published the
Maryland Law Review, a quarterly law
journal devoted to the publication of arti-
cles dealing with matters of Maryland law
and to the discussion of cases decided by
the Maryland courts; the regular publica-
tion of the Review was badly interfered
with by World War II, but it was never
wholly suspended and is now being re-
sumed. Members of its faculty have from
time to time been called upon to act as
members of or assist in the work of various
State commissions, such as those on
Emergency War Legislation, Revision of the
Election Laws, the State Adoption Laws,
and the Distribution of Tax Revenues.

The Principal Task

Its principal task, however, the School
conceives to be that of affording to the
people of the State the opportunity to se-
cure sound and adequate legal education
on a par with that to be obtained in the
better law schools of the country. Law is a
constantly developing and changing sub-
ject — never more so than at the present
time — and legal training to be adequate
must reflect both the growth and the
change of the law and must reflect also the
fundamental principles of justice lying at
the base of all our institutions. To supply
a course of training and curriculum that
will achieve this objective is and must al-
ways be the main endeavor of the School.

Jron. Philip J$. Perlman

MARYLAND GRADUATE SOLICITOR GENERAL

PHILIP B. Perlman, University of
Maryland, LL.B. 1912, whom President
Truman nominated to be Solicitor Gen-
eral of the United States, has been promin-
ent in Maryland and Baltimore politics
since the first World War.

He has held various legal posts in the
State and city governments, being a former
Maryland Secretary of State and city solici-
tor of Baltimore.

One of the highest legal posts in the
Federal Government, that of solicitor gen-
eral ranks next to attorney general. The
position pays $10,000 a year.

A native Baltimorean, Mr. Perlman was
born here on March 5, 1890.

Edited Baltimore Sun

Before his legal career, he was a news-
paper man, and in nine years rose to the
city editorship of The Evening Sun, a posi-
tion which he resigned in 1917 to accept
an appointment in the State Law Depart-
ment under Albert C. Ritchie, then Attor-
ney General of Maryland.

When, in March, 1918, the State Law
Department was enlarged, Mr. Perlman be-
came an assistant attorney general. Previ-
ous to this, in June, 1917, he had assisted
the Attorney General in drafting the pro-
gram of war legislation adopted at the war
session of the General Assembly.

After Mr. Ritchie was elected governor
in November, 1919, Mr. Perlman resigned
as assistant attorney general to devote him-
self to the practice of law.

But Governor Ritchie appointed him
secretary of state in January, 1920, and dur-
ing the 1920 session of the Legislature the
Governor intrusted Mr. Perlman with the
drafting of the legislation to redeem the
pledges made in the Democratic party
platform.

Authored Many Bills

The bills he drew up included one es-
tablishing the State Merit System; another
created a central purchasing bureau for all
State departments and State institutions,
and others raised the pay of teachers and
policemen, revised the workmen's compen-
sation laws and introduced modern plans
for drainage.

Mr. Perlman also drafted the bill pro-
viding facilities for the registration and
voting of women, and the law calling for
quadrennial elections for State officials.

During his tenure as secretary of state,
Mr. Perlman was a member of the law
firm of Marbury & Perlman, with Ogle
Marbury, now chief judge of the Court of
Appeals of Maryland, as his partner.

In September, 1923, he resigned as Secre-
tary of State and dissolved his partnership
with Mr. Marbury to accept an appoint-
ment from Mayor Howard W. Jackson as
city solicitor of Baltimore.

He retained that post until February,

1926, when he resigned to re-enter private
law practice.

But in the meantime he had drafted a
number of significant ordinances and Char-
ter revisions, including the ordinance set-
ting up the city pension system and the
Charter revision bringing together the city's
engineering departments under a chief en-
gineer.

Mayor Jackson's successor, Mayor Broen-
ing, appointed him on a commission to re-
vise the zoning laws, which as city solicitor,

he had tried in the lower and appellate
courts, which finally established the valid-
ity of zoning regulations in the city. He
was chairman of the subcommittee which
drew up the present zoning laws.

In 1931, Mr. Perlman was appointed a
member of the Mayor's Commission on
Unemployment Relief. He drafted the
legislation creating the Maryland Planning
Commission, and legislation, enacted in
1933, creating the Maryland Water Re-
sources Commission.

Mr. Perlman has worked with numerous
other Government commissions and com-
mittees.

He is a member of the American, Mary-
land and Baltimore Bar association; vice

president of the board of trustees of the
Walters Art Gallery; a member of the
board of trustees of the Baltimore Museum
of Art, the Maryland Institute and the
Peale Museum.

He is one of the founders and president
of the board of directors of the Baltimore
Symphony Orchestra.

Mr. Perlman is general counsel of the
Housing Authority of Baltimore; special
counsel for the Baltimore Transit Com-
pany; counsel for the Maryland Co-opera-
tive Milk Producers, Inc., and has been
special counsel for the Home Owners' Loan
Corporation in tax problems passed on by
the Maryland Court of Appeals.

He had charge of publicity for the 1932
Roosevelt campaign in Maryland, and was
also active in 1936, 1940 and 1944. In both
1932 and 1940 he was a delegate to the
national Democratic convention.

Entered Law School in 1909

In 1944, he was again a member of the
Democratic Campaign Committee in Mary-
land, and was one of the leaders at party
headquarters.

He is a member of the University Club,
the Elkridge-Harford Hunt Club, the
Maryland Historical Society and the Muni-
cipal Art Society.

He attended the city's public schools
and was graduated from City College in
the class of 1908. He then studied politi-
cal economy and English at Johns Hop-
kins University and in 1909 entered the
University of Maryland Law School.

It was during his college years that he
entered the newspaper field and became a
member of the staff of The Evening Sun.
After his graduation from the University
of Maryland in 1912, with a bachelor of
laws degree, he became a court reporter
and special writer.

As solicitor general, he is to succeed J.
Howard McGrath, now a Democratic Sena
tor from Rhode Island.

COL. EDGAR T. FELL

The chairman of Baltimore's USO cam-
paign for $274,954, Col. Edgar T. Fell, LL.B.
Maryland 1917, received a second award of
the Legion of Merit for his postwar services
overseas as Theater Chief of the Court of
Claims in Europe.

Colonel Fell is Chief of the Court of
Claims in Washington. The citation said:

"Contributed immeasurably to the suc-
cessful accomplishment of the difficult
tasks" in connection with the claims service
in Europe from May, 1945, until April,
1946.

The former award to Colonel Fell was
given for his work before VE Day. He also
holds the Order of the British Empire,

PLAZA, A DISTINGUISHED SON OF MARYLAND

Ecuadorian Agriculturist
and Diplomat had Inter-
esting and Hectic Experi-
ences in the United States.

d$y. J\!eu>Dola JVoyeA, 'Jr.

Washington Star.

AT various times in the years he has
spent in this country, a University
of Maryland man who has been Ecuador's
Ambassador to the United States, has sold
apples for coffee money, sold real estate for
free lunches — and lived off the rent from
a raccoon coat. He is Galo Plaza, of Quito,
Ecuador.

The United States has probably treated
him more roughly than it ever did any
other foreign diplomat. He loves it. He
says he believes in us and our way of life,
and that the day our influence becomes
established throughout the hemisphere, the
hemisphere's troubles will be over.

Many-sided Man

People who like to make snap judgments
have a hard time with Galo Plaza. He
might appear, at first glance, to have been
born with a silver shovel in his mouth.
Under a different light, he might be taken
for a professional athlete. Or you might
put him down as a sea-faring man — or a
farmer. He might even seem on occasion,
to be a very smooth diplomat.

Actually, it doesn't matter to which of
these categories the snap judger assigns him.
He is — or has been — in all of them.

He came to this country at 19 to study
agriculture and enrolled in the University
of California, (he came to Maryland later).
Mr. Plaza already had achieved a certain
distinction in Ecuador by virtue of the fact
that for two years he had been running
his opponents ragged as a member of the
national soccer team. This was his personal
contribution to the family name. There
had been others. His father, the general,
had served two terms as President of the
country. Two of his mother's ancestors
were Ecuador's independence heroes, and
her family had been established in Quito
since 1536.

Gave Up Football

At California, Mr. Plaza promptly won
a place on the football team. He had been,
he admits, a "good student — very good"
back in Ecuador, and it shocked him to
find that dealing in a foreign language
hobbled him to such an extent that he
began to fall behind in his school work.
Enraged, he gave up football and concen-
trated on learning English. For months he
avoided all contact with his native Spanish
tongue. The result was startling. He
learned to speak English, American style,
without a trace of accent and in perfect
idiom. He learned to think — even to dream
— with equal fluency in either language.

Mr. Plaza moved on to the University of
Maryland where, as at California, he studied

AT 1946 COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES

His Excellency, Galo Plaza, is shown at the right as he received the Honorary Degree of Doctor of Laws
at the University of Maryland, where he delivered the 1946 Commencement address. At the left is the
then Governor (now U. S. Senator) Herbert R. O'Conor. In the center is Dr. H. C. Byrd, President of
the University of Maryland. Galo Plaza was born in Quito on February 17, 1906. He is the son of Senora
Avelina Lasso de Plaza and of General Leonidas Plaza, President of the Republic of Ecuador during the
constitutional terms 1902 to 1906 and 1912 to 1916. He attended grade school and high school in Ecuador.
Thereafter he traveled to the United States in order to study agricultural economy, and pursued his
studies at the University of California and the University of Maryland. Later he continued his education
at the Georgetown School of Foreign Service in Washington, D. C. From 1929 to 1930 held the post of
Civil Attache to the then Legation of Ecuador in Washington, after which he reljrned to his country to
head the business firm "Herederos de Leonidas Plaza" as general manager, a position which he kept
until 1944. In 1937, Senor Plaza was elected a member of the Municipal Council of Quito, of which body
he acted as president during 1937 and 1938, and from 1938 until August 1940 he was a Cabinet member
as Minister of National Defense. He represented Ecuador at the Pan American Conference in Chapultepec
and the International Assembly in San Francisco. Senor Plaza has been a decided admirer of the American
way of life and in his desire to mold the Ecuadorean educational system along the lines of the American
system, he founded at Quito in 1940 the American School, which includes six years of grade school and
three years of high school. During its four years of existence this school has been extraordinarily successful.
Senor Plaza is a member of the Pichincha Club, of the Golf Club, and of the Quito Tennis Club, of
which he was president from 1941 to 1944. In addition to his trips to the United States he has traveled

widely in Europe and South America.

the science of agriculture. He then came to
Georgetown University, enrolling in the
School of Foreign Service to study diplomacy
by night. He practiced it by day at the
Ecuadorian Legation, where he took a job
as attache.

Those were the high-flying days of boyish
bobs and prohibition. "I was the greatest
guy in the world," Mr. Plaza reports. "I
had a coon-skin coat and a Chrysler. I also
had diplomatic access to plenty of good
liquor. My popularity in the younger set
was phenomenal."

General Plaza, then in Switzerland, ap-
parently had been following the social
career of his 23-year-old son with some in-
terest, for at this point he came up with
a suggestion. Why didn't Galo complete his
education by detaching himself from his
Chrysler, his liquor supply and his family
influence, go to New York, get a job and
make his own way for a while?

Tough Times

Young Mr. Plaza heeded the parental
advice, not unmindful of the fact that
simultaneously he stopped getting his allow-
ance. He took his raccoon coat to New York
and started looking for work. At that pre-
cise moment, the financial crash of 1929
plunged the country into the worst depres-
sion in its history.

The poor little rich boy from South
America did not back down, did not again
communicate with his father. Like millions
of Americans, he began to wear out his
shoes looking for a job which wasn't there.

"It was a good thing I kept that coat,"
he remembers. "It represented, during that
first stage, my only invested capital, and
regularly I got dividends by renting it to
people going to football games at New
Haven and Cambridge."

The coat brought him, on the average, a
little over $12 a week end and as long as
it lasted, he lived in relative comfort.

"But," he says sadly, "there came a day
when it seemed expedient to hock my coat.
Of course I never got my hands on enough
money to retrieve it."

Sold Real Estate

Mr. Plaza finally landed a job selling real
estate in New Jersey. There was no pay
attached to this position — just commissions
for sales. Of course, there were no sales.
He admits he took the job because they
gave him a free lunch every time he went
down to New Jersey with a group of
"customers."

"Imagine that," he says, "A free lunch
just for talking about how different the air
was in New Jersey — and the sound of the

Utilizing pasture lands. On many farms a flock of sheep would bring additional profits as sheep consume much food that would otherwise be wasted.

bees and the pines — and about how the
location was equi-distant between New York
and Philadelphia and all that sort of stuff."
He pauses dramatically, clears his throat
and adds:

"I quit when I found out the customers
came along only because they got free
lunches too. I realized I was a sucker. Why
should I talk for my lunch when you could
get one by just listening"

For a time Mr. Plaza lived on commis-
sions he made by selling calendars, but
"the market petered out after the 1st of
January." One day he found himself with
not a cent in his pocket and nothing left
to sell.

"I'd had nothing to eat for more than 24
hours," he says. "I remembered a little
church where I had once watched in lordly
detachment as they handed out coffee. I
went there and found a line stretching
almost around the block. I stood in that
line for hours and had worked up to a
place where there were only about 300
ahead of me when a little priest came out
and said, "Sorry, boys — no more coffee!"

Sold Apples

Galo Plaza regards that moment as prob-
ably the low point of his career. It was
then that he took to selling apples.

"One day" — this is the way he tells it —
"I set up my apple stand in front of the
old Hammerstein Music Hall. A little old
lady came along and set up a stand next
to mine. She did a booming business — every-
body seemed to buy from her. You would
have thought I had leprosy. Not only did
the people avoid buying my apples, they
kept giving me dirty looks and muttering
unpleasant things in my direction."

Finally Mr. Plaza says, he could stand it
no longer. "Madame," he said to the little
old lady, "I must ask you to move. This
is my territory. I was here nearly half an
hour before you."

Mr. Plaza swears she patted her bonnet
into place, looked him in the eye and an-
swered: "Oh, no, young man, I'm sorry.
This is my territory. You see, my husband
built this theater."

With $2 "apple money" in his pocket,
the future Ecuadorian Ambassador to the
United States sat down on a park bench

to take stock of the situation. "I con-
cluded," he says, "that it was futile to
think in terms of doing anything worth
while. What I had to do was simply to
survive — and to do that I had to eat. The
main thing was to get myself established
somewhere where they would feed me."

Pursuing this thought, Mr. Plaza signed
up as a seaman on a Dollar Line ship
about to sail for South America. He pre-
pared for his voyage by taking his savings
to a restaurant at 12 Hanover Square, in
the basement of India House, where he
ordered his favorite dish — curry and rice.

"It was one of those coincidences," Mr.
I'laza explains philosophically. "I was sit-
ting there eating, when an elderly man came
up to the table and asked in perfect Span-
ish if I wasn't General Plaza's son. When
I said I was he told me he was an old
friend of my fathers.

The man was Luis Valverde, a vice presi-
dent of the Grace Line. Mr. Plaza told him
the whole story of his New York adventure,
including his latest decision. He said he
would not give up, and extracted from Mr.
Valverde a promise not to tell the family of
the situation.

Assistant Purser

The Grace Line official commended Mr.
Plaza's perserverance, but asked whether it
would be against his principles to ship out
with Grace in a little better position at a
little higher salary. Mr. Plaza agreed. By
the time he got to Chile, the end of the
first leg of the trip, he was assistant purser.

That meeting with Mr. Valverde seemed
somehow to break the spell. Of course there
was the stopover in Guayaquil when Mr.
Plaza was "beaten up" by three English-
men, all of whom had to be taken to the
hospital. But he gradually found himself
slipping back into the role of Galo Plaza,
heir to a famous name. At the end of
several voyages, his family decided his edu-
cation was complete and sent money for him
to join them in Switzerland, and the New
York Herald Tribune headlined: "Galo
Plaza, Son of Ex-President of Ecuador, Sails
Today."

The son of the ex-President of Ecuador
bought exactly 62 copies of that paper —
and mailed them to his shipmates on the
Santa Teresa.

As head of the family after his father's
death, Mr. Plaza spent 10 years running
three Ecuadorean farms. The Plaza fortunes
had suffered badly during the world-wide
depression, and he made a success of the
farming job. He was elected Mayor of
Quito. From 1940 to 1942 he served as
Minister of National Defense. Meanwhile
he had organized the American School of
Quito, which sought to combat the influ-
ence of established German schools in the
community. "Education is the most effec-
tive way of promoting good will," he says.
"It takes longer but it stays there."

Mr. Plaza hesitated quite a while before
taking the proffered position of Ambassador.
"I knew very little about double talk and
striped pants, and so I wondered," he says.
"But when I got to Washington I found the
diplomatic frills had gone and only the
work remained. I liked the work very
much."

Galo Plaza is not afraid of the United
States. He feels our destiny is also Latin
America's. "The future of the hemisphere
lies in closer and closer ties between all
its countries," he says. "Eventually there
must be no subdivision at all."

Commencement Speaker

The future of Galo Plaza, he insists, lies
in closer and closer ties with the good
earth. "Farming," he rhapsodizes, — "there
is nothing like it. You don't make much
money but you can be happy." He says
he dislikes politics and will not partake of
them after he finishes his Washington
assignment.

But many an observer believes that Galo
Plaza, now in his 42nd year is a South
American to watch.

In June of 1946 Galo Plaza delivered the
commencement address at the University of
Maryland. He is one of Maryland's most
distinguished sons and his chief interest re-
mains Agriculture.

A PROGRAM IN AMERICAN CIVILIZATION

SAMUEL CHASE WILLIAM PACA THOMAS STONE

MARYLAND'S SIGNERS OF THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE

CHARLES CARROLL

THREE years ago the University of
Maryland announced a required pro-
gram of studies in American Civilization
which probably received wider and more
favorable comment than any other pro-
gram in any field in recent years. Literally
thousands of newspapers all over the coun-
try, and some abroad, carried stories and
editorials about it. The Stars and Stripes,
Army newspapei published in Europe dur-
ing the war, featured the project. In all
these stories and editorials, not a single un-
favorable word was written.

Since that first announcement, the Uni-
versity has been quietly building its pro-
gram in this field. Not all the program
is yet in effect, especially in the graduate
field and in the public forums, but the
undergraduate work is well organized and
is operating smoothly.

Alumni are interested in the project and
want to know just what are the objectives
and how they are to be reached.

The objectives were stated quite clearly
by President Byrd early in the development
of the plan when he said:

"First, it is planned to establish a com-
plete major in American Civilization, be-
ginning with an undergraduate curriculum
and going through to the doctor's degree.
This curriculum would be for those who
wish to make their major effort in educa-
tion in the field of American studies.

Emphasis on America

"It would involve emphasis on American
philosophy, American economic life, Ameri-
can history, American literature, American
music, American art, and so on. Naturally,
the backgrounds of these subjects would be
studied.

"Second, it is intended to have all stu-
dents take courses in American history,
American government, American literature,
with its background through
a study of comparative litera-
ture, and thus equip every
graduate with knowledge of
those values inherent and po-
tential in the present American
system of government.

"Third, to organize and con-
duct public forums in the
various counties and cities of
the State to carry to the people
generally, and immediately, a
better knowledge of the back-
grounds of American life, of
the values of our American
civilization, and of its poten-
tialities for the future.

"The immediate objective of
the University of Maryland

As Taught At The University
Of Maryland, Basis Is Pro-
vided By Staunch Ideals
Of Founding Fathers With
No Room For Various
"Isms."

plan is to give to the people of Maryland
a fuller understanding and appreciation of
our own national backgrounds, and of how
our present philosophy of life has evolved.
"It is intended to emphasize in these
forums the fundamental differences between
the American way of life and social re-
forms that have taken place in other coun-
tries. It is intended, through these forums,
to present all the many factors that have
developed for the American people the hest
living conditions that exist for any people
in the world.

"The ultimate objective of the plan is,
through doing an effective job in Maryland,
to form a pattern that other States may
follow, and which, in a little while, should
make the American people as a whole more
conscious and more appreciative of the
great advantages that the American way of
life has given to them."

Need is Obvious

As to the need of some such plan as
above outlined, one has only to conduct
the most cursory survey to become certain
that such a need exists, and exists to a much
more serious extent than most Americans
are aware. America has attempted — and has
done it with remarkable success — to give to
students training that would make them
excellent engineers, excellent agriculturists,
lawyers, scientists, etc.; but in doing that
has assumed, all too readily, that the grad-

uates of the universities would, in some
mysterious way and from some other source,
acquire a full appreciation of what Ameri-
can democracy means and absorb a reason-
able knowledge of the backgrounds and
values of our national life.

In our educational system, so many spe-
cialized courses have been developed that
gradually many subjects that are funda-
mental to almost everything that we do
have been crowded out of the curriculums.
This crowding out process has virtually
eliminated the required study of American
history. It has developed English depart-
ments with too much of a tendency to
delve into restricted and narrow corridors.
American education has gotten away from
the fact, for instance, that the primary pur-
pose in the study of English is to learn
to read and write. It is failing to build
in students a sufficient appreciation of
American literature, and thus are depriving
future leaders of their greatest opportunity
for insight into what constitutes the best
American thought. It has gone too far
away from the study of America and its
backgrounds.

Ignorance is Amazing

If the above statements be doubted, take
any average group of high school seniors,
or any average group of university students,
and ask them commonplace questions about
some of the fundamental things that have
entered into our development as a nation.
The ignorance that such questions will
show is amazing.

To overcome this, the University of
Maryland faculty organized a program
which embraces required work for fresh-
men and sophomores, a combined major-
minor plan for juniors and seniors, and
graduate studies. The required courses are
designed to acquaint undergraduates with
the basic facts of American
history, with the fundamental
patterns of our social, eco-
nomic, and intellectual devel-
opment, and with the riches
of our cultural heritage. Elec-
tive programs at the junior-
senior and graduate levels di-
rect students toward a fuller
understanding of the con-
figuration of American civiliza-
tion and of their intellectual
and social responsibilities. In
general, the courses are in-
tended to aid graduates of
the University to live intelli-
gently and fully as American
citizens within a twentieth-
century frame of reference
without however, sacrificing

"^^Jb Okt\*..«.Anw»if»

any of the true virtues that come from
Colonial traditions.

In terms of political and social planning,
the program proposes that America should
advance by building upon the best in its
past, not by discarding its past and impos-
ing some new, exotic set of alleged solutions
on American society.

In terms of scholarly objectives, the pro-
gram proposes the profoundly serious, in-
tensely critical study of our culture.

Hiroshima in August, 1945, and the almost
universal ravages of the recent war drama-
tize the present importance of studies in
civilization by making terribly clear the dis-
parity between the technological achieve-
ments of the twentieth century and its
social successes. More apparent than ever
before is the significance of the fact that
science as science cannot tell men how to
control the use of its constructions. The
true sciences are ethically neutral. Physics
works as well for a Nazi Germany as for a
democratic America.

Obviously, the people of America must
produce and inspire a leadership equal to
the times. They cannot afford to yield
themselves to rapacious entrepreneurs,, to
industrialists coveting special favor, to self-

ish labor leaders greedy for power and
privilege, to legislators avid for sectional
advantages, to unrestrained individualists,
to rampant bureaucrats, or to jingoes. They
cannot afford to submit to domination by
limited interests of any kind. They must
take positive and intelligent social action
in accordance with the broad interests of
the American people.

Philosophers and laymen have long de-
hated on measures for attaining the good
life. Attaining or preserving the good life
is not now the only question. There is even
in question, for a great proportion of the
world's population, the preservation of life
itself. Or perhaps the two questions have
become one, for it appears that only by a
general display of the rarer virtues, such
as temperance and wisdom, will the ex-
istence of all peoples and nations be
assured.

Plan For Education

Any program intended to insure that the
United States of America will take its
proper, important part in making certain
that the world does not fall into the hands
of tyrants must include as one of its essen-
tial parts a plan for education. This educa-
tion, to be effective, must be a particular
kind. Wise democratic leaders agree that
the first requirement for a competent citi-

zenry is widespread liberal thinking. Be-
yond this, and beyond training marvellously
skillful technicians, democracy must train
its special leaders, men of good will who
will be zealous in finding effective answers
for social, economic, and political problems.
The old answer, the production of more
and more terribly lethal weapons, will not
serve.

Assumptions of the Program

The University of Maryland program as-
sumes that a major function of a state
university in a democracy is the training
of leaders for the state and the nation.

Cherishing the idea of free inquiry and
recognizing the complex, dynamic nature
of our civilization, it aims at educating
self-reliant, socially minded men who will
be constantly alert in guiding the changing
processes of democracy. It submits that
interpretation of political instruments must,
as experience shows, be sensitive to chang-
ing social needs. It does not embrace an
optimism that envisages social progress as
a matter of natural evolution, nor does it
hold with a pessimism which surrenders to
complete determinism. Rather, it empha-
sizes the necessity for constant, intelligent
struggle in order to improve and advance
social destiny. Rejecting moral relativism,
it holds that literature and the social sci-
ences mediate in a sense between the true
sciences and philosophy; in some of their
phases they may, like true sciences, be
treated as ethically neutral, but their high-
est development unquestionably depends on
ethical considerations.

The University of Maryland program in
American civilization is not offered as a
panacea. It is not framed for dogmatists.
It does not outline a new order for the
next thousand years or for the next hundred
years. It does not defend existing Ameri-
can political and social institutions as ideal
or final. It does seek to provide the back-
ground for clear understandings and intelli-
gent conclusions by American citizens.

Origin and Development of the Program

The Faculty Committee appointed by
President H. C. Byrd to formulate plans
for the program worked with two main
ideas in mind: first, that the University
must prepare all of its students for intelli-
gent citizenship by giving them some under-
standing of America and America's place

"Observe good faith and justice towards all na-
tions. Cultivate peace and harmony with all.
Religion and morality enjoin this conduct; and can
it be that good policy does not equally enjoin it?
It will be worthy of a free, enlightened, and, at
no distant period, a great nation, to give to man-
kind the magnamimous and too novel example of
a people always guided by an exalted justice and
benevolence. Who can doubt that in the course of
time and things, the fruits of such a plan would
richly repay any temporary advantages which might
be lost by a steady adherence to it? Can it be
that Providence has not connected the permanent
felicity of a nation with its virtue? The experiment,
at least, is recommended by every sentiment which
ennobles human nature." — From Washington's Fare-
well Address.

iii world civilization; second, iliai the Uni
versity is to be a center for advanced
American studies.

In accordance with the plans of this com-
mittee, work in American civilization is
offered at three distinct academic levels.
There are, first, a required core of Ameri-
can studies for undergraduates; second, an
elective plan of studies for juniors and
seniors; and. third, studies leading to the
degrees of Master of Arts and Doctor of
Philosophy in American Civilization.

Formal and Informal

Although the committee rejected the
orientation type course that draws its ma-
terials (and sometimes its instructors) from
various fields, it gave consideration through-
out to the desirability of securing coher-
ence in the work. Effective articulation
of the studies required of undergraduates
is achieved by measures formal and in-
formal. Formally, the departments of Eng-
lish, History, Sociology, and Political Sci-
ence knit together the basic courses for
which they are separately responsible by
working out cooperatively syllabi and read-
ing lists. Basic courses focus as nearly as
possible on similar concepts, themes, and
topics. Informally, correlation of the most
important kind is effected in the classrooms,
leathers, who take part in the program.

the program and the specific objectives and
procedures in the related basic courses.
They arc, therefore, able to make fruitful
cross-references from dav to day.

Century, Old Sndtitution

SCHOOL OF PHARMACY, MARYLAND UNIVERSITY

106 Years Ago Baltimore's
77 Druggists Decided A
College Of Pharmacy Was
Needed ....

ON JUNE 4th and 5th, 1941 the
School of Pharmacy of the Univer-
sity of Maryland celebrated the one hun-
dredth anniversary of its founding.

In 1841 there were seventy-seven drug
stores in Baltimore City. The more for-
ward looking proprietors of these seventy-
seven stores, realizing that a broader and
more thorough education than could be
obtained through employment in a drug
store must be provided for their appren-
tices if the citizens of the Commonwealth
were to be properly served, joined with
some of the more progressive physicians
of Baltimore City in organizing the Mary-
land College of Pharmacy, which was in-
corporated on January 27, 1841 and which
began to function as a teaching institution
in November of the same year. The College
continued to function as a private institu-
tion until 1904 when it was amalgamated
with the group of professional schools in
Baltimore, then known as the University of
Maryland. It became a department of the
State University when the old University
of Maryland was merged with the Mary-
land State College in 1920.

3.000 Students

Throughout the one hundred and more
years during which the School of Phar-
macy has functioned as a teaching institu-
tion, it has graduated nearly three thou-
sand students, approximately seventeen
hundred of which are living. The con-
tributions to the progress of pharmacy

alumni, particularly in the field of phar-
maceutical education and research, have
established the School as one of the fore-
most among the leaders in pharmaceutical
education and have made its influence
nation-wide in scope.

Aims And Purposes

The sole purpose of the school in the
beginning was to educate and train young
men and women for the practice of retail
pharmacy. As time passed, other branches
of the drug industry developed to the
point where demands were made upon
the school for education of different
types. Thus, it became desirable for the

school to offer instruction to prepare its
graduates to enter the field of manufac-
turing pharmacy, drug control work, re-
search, teaching, etc. The school recog-
nized these needs and modified its cur-
riculum accordingly from time to time,
but was really not in a position to offer
the instruction required for these addi-
tional services until the laboratory and
class-room building now occupied was
erected by the State in 1930. The primary
objective of the School of Pharmacy is
still the education of its students for the
practice of retail pharmacy, but provisions
have been made to give, in so far as ade-
quate facilities are available, the additional
instruction required for students desiring
to enter into these other fields of pharma-
ceutical activity.

Unprecedented Progress

Looking to the future, the School of
Pharmacy in 1927 created a department of
pharmacology, the primary purpose of
which was to teach modern pharmacology
and bio-assaying to the undergraduate
students and to provide an opportunity for
students who desire to specialize in this
field to do graduate work. At the present
time the School of Pharmacy of the Uni-
versity of Maryland is the only school of
pharmacy which has a well developed
department of this kind and in which
graduate work is being done. The or-
ganization of this department was made
possible through the generosity of Captain
Isaac E. Emerson of the Emerson Drug
Company, who provided the funds for the
initial purchase of equipment and en-
dowed the professorship in bio-assaying. .

Progress of equal importance, if not
greater, was made in developing instruc-
tion in pharmaceutical chemistry. Al-
though the School of Pharmacy has been
one of the leaders in this department of
instruction almost from its beginning,

GEORGE WANSEY ANDREWS

George Wansey Andrews, one of the founders
of the Maryland College of Pharmacy, was born
in Baltimore, Maryland, in the year 1801.

He entered the drug business at No. 3 West
Baltimore Street, Baltimore, Maryland, in 182?, but
moved to No. 5 West Baltimore Street in 1842.
He associated with him in 1857 as a partner William
Silver Thompson, after which the firm was known
as Andrews and Thompson, Chemists and Apothe-
caries.

Mr. Andrews was active in national as well as
State pharmaceutical organizations. He was elected
first Vice-President of the American Pharmaceutical
Association in 1852 and President in 1856. In addi-
tion to being a founder of the Maryland College
of Pharmacy, he was its third President and served
in this capacity for twenty-seven years. He was a
member of the Maryland Academy of Science for
fifty-five years.

George Wansey Andrews died in Baltimore on
December 12, 1877.

very little, if any, provision was made for
giving graduate instruction in this field
until 1930, when the school moved into
the quarters which it now occupies. Since
then courses for graduate students in vari-
ous branches of pharmaceutical chemistry
have been organized, and a majority of
the graduate students now enrolled in the
school are doing their major work in
this department. The school has been
assisted very materially in developing its
work in this department through the gen-
erosity of such outstanding pharmaceutical
manufacturers as Dr. A. B. Dunning, The
Wm. S. Merrell Company, William R.
Warner & Co., Eli Lilly & Company, and
others.

Graduate Work

Graduate work is also being offered in
the department of pharmacy. This de-
partment has one of the few up-to-date
pharmaceutical manufacturing laboratories
to be found in schools of pharmacy in
this country. It not only uses this labora-
tory for instructional purposes, but manu-
factures a large number of the prepara-
tions used in the Hospital Pharmacy and
the Free Dispensary.

The development of graduate work in
the foregoing departments emphasized the
need for adequate library facilities. These
have been provided in a measure which
has exceeded all expectations. In 1926 the
library of the School of Pharmacy con-
sisted of less than 1000 volumes. At the
present time the number of volumes ex-
ceeds 10,000. Here again the school has
been assisted by its alumni and friends
who have contributed liberally to the

funds needed for the purchase of books
and periodicals.

Public Relations

In addition to its functions as a teach-
ing institution, the School of Pharmacy
has cooperated with our pharmacists and
health officials in raising the level of phar-
maceutical practice within the state and
in safeguarding the health of the public.
Subsequent to 1841 and prior to 1902, the
year in which the first state-wide pharmacy
practice law was passed, all pharmaceu-
tical laws enacted by the legislature of
this State were initiated and fostered by
the School of Pharmacy. Dean Charles
Caspari, Jr. of the School of Pharmacy,
in 1910, was the first pharmacist to be
appointed as a member of the State Board
of Health. Since then either the dean or
an alumnus of the school has served in
this capacity. At the present time, an
Alumnus, Dr. Lloyd N. Richardson, is
serving as the pharmacy member of the
State Board of Health, another Alumnus,
Dr. L. M. Kantner, is the Deputy Food
and Drug Commissioner of the State, and
Dean A. G. DuMez is serving as a mem-
ber of the Council on Medical Care, a
committee created to act in a consultant
capacity to the State Department of
Health on matters pertaining to the pro-
vision of medical care for the indigent
and medically indigent.

A. G. DUMEZ

Dean, School of Pharmacy.

Dean A. G. DuMez was born in Horicon, Wis-
consin, April 26, 1885, the son of Andrew Alexander
and Anna Meister DuMez, both parents being
natives of Milwaukee. The father was a pharmacist
and the son obtained his practical training and his
interest in Pharmacy from his father. Young DuMez'
general education was obtained in the Graded
Schools of Cashton, Wisconsin, from 1891 to 1897;
and in the High Schools of that city from 1897 to
1900. He entered the University of Wisconsin in
the fall of 1902 and was awarded the following
degrees by that institution: Graduate in Pharmacy
(Ph.G.), 1904; Bachelor of Science (B.S.), 1907;
Master of Science (M.S.), 1910; and Doctor of
Philosophy (Ph.D.), 1917.

Pharmaceutical education and research have re-

ceived a major portion of Dr. DuMez' attention as
the following record will indicate:

Instructor in Pharmaceutical Chemistry, University
of Wisconsin, Madison, Wisconsin, 1905-1910; Pro-
fessor of Chemistry, Pacific University, Forest Grove,
Oregon, 1910-191 1; Assistant Professor of Chemistry,
Oklahoma Agricultural and Mechanical College,
Stillwater, Oklahoma, I9II-I9I2; Director of the
School of Pharmacy of the University of the Philip-
pines, Manila, P. I., 1912-1916; Hollister Fellow,
University of Wisconsin, 1916-1917; Associate Pharma-
cologist, Hygienic Laboratory, U. S. Public Health
Service, Washington, D. C, 1917-1926; Dean of the
School of Pharmacy, University of Maryland, Balti-
more, Maryland, 1926 to date.

In addition to other research activities, Dr. DuMez
was the first to propose and suggest bismuthous
idodide as a remedy for amoebic dysentery. This
work was published in 1916 and the publications
that have followed include:

"The Galenical Oleoresins," bulletin of the Uni-
versity of Wisconsin, 1917, page 288; "Digest of
Comments on the Pharmacopoeia of the United
States and the National Formulary," bulletin of
the Hygienic Laboratory, U. S. Public Health Ser-
vice, published annually, 1916-1922. Editor of the
"Year Book of the American Pharmaceutical Asso-
ciation," 1921-1935. Editor of "Pharmaceutical Ab-
stracts," 1935 to date. Co-author with Glenn L.
Jenkins, of "Quantitative Pharmaceutical Chem-
istry," McGraw-Hill Book Co., 1930; and numerous
scientific articles published in U. S. Public Health
Reports, Philippine Journal of Science, Journal
American Medical Association, American Journal of
Pharmacy, Journal of the American Pharmaceutical
Association, Journal of Chemical Education, etc.

Dr. DuMez has taken an active part in pharma-
ceutical efforts of various kinds and in this con-
nection has held a number of important appoint-
ments and offices, among them:

1914, Member of a committee to revise the phar-
macy and drug laws of the Philippine Islands, ap-
Cointed by the Director of Health; 1915, appointed
y the Vice-Governor to investigate the schools
and colleges of pharmacy in the Philippine Islands;
1918-1919, served as a member and secretary of the
Special Committee to investigate the Traffic in
Narcotics in the United States, appointed by the
Secretary of the Treasury; 1920, elected a member
of the Revision Committee of Pharmacopoeia of
the United States, and Chairman of the Sub-Com-
mittee on Nomenclature to serve for ten years;
reelected in 1930 and made vice-chairman of the
Committee, also reelected chairman of the Sub-
Committee on Nomenclature; 1925, official delegate
of the United States Government of the Second
Conference on the Unification of Standards for
Potent Remedies held in Brussels, Belgium, Sep-
tember 21-27, 1925, appointed by the Secretary of
State with the approval of the President; 1932,
secretary-treasurer, American Council on Pharma-
ceutical education.

The memberships held by Dr. DuMez in pro-
fessional associations, clubs and lodges and the
offices held in these organizations, include:

Wisconsin Academy of Science, Arts and Let-
ters; American Pharmaceutical Association, (Presi-
dent-Elect 1939; Chairman, Scientific Section 1920-
1921; Member of the Council, 1920 to date; Secre-
tary of the Council, 1920-1923); American Chemical
Society; American Association of Colleges of Phar-
macy (President, 1928-1929); American Public Health
Association; American Association for the Advance-
ment of Science (Fellow); Maryland Pharmaceutical
Association; Sigma XI, Rho Chi, Phi Delta Chi,
Kappa Psi, etc.; Kiwanis Club of Baltimore; Masonic,
Temple Noyes Lodge No. 32, Washington, D. C.

Dr. DuMez has been a prominent figure in Phar-
macy for several years and has made valuable
contributions toward its progress. He is qualified
in every way to carry the responsibilities of the
Deanship of the School of Pharmacy and to advance
the standards of pharmaceutical education.

Dr._ DuMez and Miss Mary Elizabeth Fields were
married in Olney, Illinois, June 9, 1912 and make
their home in the Garden Apartments, Baltimore,
Maryland.

THE AMERICAN SCHOOL

The next time you pass a school pause
a moment to think what that school means
to humanity. Recall the long dark cen-
turies when the masses were kept in ignor-
ance — when greed and oppression ruled the
world with an iron hand. From the very
beginning of man's struggle for knowledge,
selfrespect, and the recognition of his in-
alienable rights, the school has been his
greatest ally. We refer to the school as
"common" because it belongs to us all;
it is ourselves working together in the
education of our children. But it is a most
uncommon institution. It is relatively new.
It is democracy's greatest gift to civiliza-
tion. Throughout the world, among up-
ward struggling peoples, wherever parents
share in the aspirations of their children,
the American common school is being
copied. Let us cherish and improve our
schools. — Joy Elmer Morgan.

MARYLAND UNIVERSITY'S MEDICAL LIBRARY

Books Of The Late Dr. John
Crawford, A Remarkable
Collection, Founded Uni-
versity's Excellent Med-
ical Library ....

Jby 3da Marian J\ooin3on

Librarian

IN 1813, the faculty of the School of
Medicine, by a subscription from its
members, purchased the remarkable book
collection of the late Dr. John Crawford to
start a medical library, one of the earliest
in this country. The Crawford books, be-
tween three hundred and four hundred
volumes, thus formed the beginning of the
present book collection of the University of
Maryland. It is interesting that perhaps no
other small group of books belonging to the
University has increased in value so much as
these. Bought for five hundred dollars, the
Crawford Collection contains rare medical
classics (some of them already rare at the
time of their purchase one hundred thirty-
four years ago) now valued at thousands.
The School of Medicine may be grateful
for the wisdom of its early faculty in pro-
viding such a foundation on which to build
a library.

Received Meager Attention

After this splendid beginning, unfortun-
ately the needs and financial problems of
the medical school were such that the
library received meager attention for a long
period of years. Occasionally, for short
intervals, there would be a yearly appropria-
tion of fifty dollars for books, but in the
first century of its existence the library de-
pended almost entirely on gifts from pub-
lishers, authors, and generous alumni. The
result was that in 1890 the book collection
numbered only one thousand volumes.
This was more than doubled the next year
by the gift of twelve hundred volumes
from the library of an alumnus.

MEDICAL LIBRARY

The Medical Library of the University of Maryland,
founded in 1813 by the purchase of the collection
of Dr. John Crawford, now numbers 26,000 volumes
and several thousand pamphlets and reprints. Over
three hundred of the leading medical journals, both
foreign and domestic, are received regularly. The
library is housed in Davidge Hall, in close prox-
imity to classrooms and laboratories, and is open
daiiy for the use of members of the faculty, the
student body and the profession generally. Libraries
pertaining to particular phases of medicine are
maintained by several departments of the medical
school.

Thereafter came a more satisfactory rate
of increase than the first three quarters of
a century had seen: by 1906 the library
contained approximately seven thousand
volumes. Eventually an annual appropria-
tion was made to provide for books, jour-
nals, and binding. The amount has gradu-
ally increased and is now, in most fiscal
years, fairly adequate. Besides the regular
annual funds, there are also several special
funds which benefit the library. These are
memorials from World War I, and other
personal memorials, gifts, and legacies. To-
day the library has about twenty-seven
thousand bound volumes and receives ap-
proximately four hundred journals, by sub-
scription, gift, and exchange. We try not
to think of the perhaps unrivalled size
and importance that this library might
already have attained, had its first one
hundred years been more prosperous.

In One Room

During that first century of its existence,
the library was housed in a room of the
original medical college building. As a
fitting observance of its centennial, the
book collection in 1913 was moved into its
own building, Davidge Hall, across the
street from the medical school. This "new"
library building had been a church for sixty
years before its conversion into a medical
library. It was somewhat remodeled inside
and adapted as well as it could be for its
new role. But some of the original charac-
teristics persisted, and do to this day.

For a number of years, the dais which
had once supported a pulpit continued as
a platform for the librarian's desk. The
gallery along the front of the building, once
a choir loft, today is a favorite study place
of the students. Two remaining stained
glass windows at the south end still suggest
the original purpose of the building and
give it, somehow, a mellow aspect and a
widely felt appeal, not quite to be analyzed.

About two years ago, redecoration of the
building and installation of an adequate
lighting system greatly improved the in-
terior. The major problem now is lack of
space for proper arrangement of the over-
flowing book collection and for the increas-
ing activities of the library staff. There is
no doubt that the only satisfactory solution
is to plan for a new, fireproof, functional,
expandable library building. We look for-
ward to such a structure for the necessary
development of the library. Yet, despite all
the inconveniences and inadequacies of the
old church building, we shall feel sincere
regret — a loss, as of an old friend — when
it must go.

Ho Librarian

In the beginning, for many years there
was no regular librarian. In the decade
before 1900, the druggist of the University
Hospital held the position of librarian,
though we do not know just how the
duties of pharmacy and library were com-
bined. In 1903, Dr. Eugene Fauntleroy
Cordell became Professor of the History of
Medicine (a newly established Chair in the

DR. JOHN CRAWFORD

University) and librarian. He must surely
be considered the first official librarian of
the institution.

It was through his interest and his efforts
in stimulating the interest of others that the
library was brought to life and made a
rightfully active and growing part of the
school. Dr. Cordell continued as librarian
until his death in 1913. In the entrance to
the library hangs his portrait, gift of the
alumni of the School of Medicine, a fitting
tribute to his influence on the library's
development.

For a few months after Dr. Cordell's
death, Samuel Want, a lawyer, acted as
administrator of the library. In 1914, Ruth
Lee Briscoe was appointed librarian and
took charge of Davidge Hall. At that time
it housed not only the medical book collec-
tion, but groups of books belonging to the
schools of dentistry, pharmacy, law, and
commerce. Gradually the libraries of these
other professional schools were removed to
their own buildings, until only the medical
collection remained.

Libraries Combined

Mrs. Briscoe continued as medical librari-
an until her recent retirement. Her pho-
tograph hangs in the library's Maryland
Room, because of her long and close as-
sociation with the books and pictures of
the significant Maryland Collection.

In the fall of 1942, it was decided to
place the Medical Library and the Dental-
Pharmacy Library under the direction of
one librarian, to effect a closer cooperation
of the two organizations. This arrange-
ment has continued and appears to act to
the advantage of both libraries. At present,
besides the librarian in this joint position,
the Medical Library staff has three full-
time members and one part-time, to carry
on its varied activities.

The library is proud of its working collec-
tion of current books and of its several
special collections. A unique part of the

MARYLAND UNIVERSITY'S SCHOOL OF NURSING

After work and study the internes and nurses congregate in the Nurses Resi
dence where they practice some of the latest song hits.

AT UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND'S SCHOOL OF NURSING

The care of the convalescent child is an important phase of the curricula of

the School of Nursing. The photograph shows Miss Carine Johnson, senior

student, entertaining a child.

STEEPED in the philosophy and spirit
of Florence Nightingale the University
of Maryland School of Nursing, second
oldest professional nursing school in Mary-
land, still carries on the objectives of the
founder, Louisa Parsons, a Nightingale
graduate.

The pioneering period for the School of
Nursing began under the direction of the
Catholic Sisters. The Sisters of Charity
followed by the Sisters of Mercy cared for
the patients in University Hospital from
1823-1889. There were differences between
the Sisters and the medical students the
chief one of which was that "no one was
permitted to go out or come in the Infimary
after ten o'clock at night." It disturbed
the Sisters' restl The complaints of the
medical students were carried to Father
Dubois who replied in an interesting letter
that ten o'clock was too late for young
gentlemen studying the serious practice of
medicine to be out of the hospital. He said,
"The clue to the whole difficulty is a spirit
of independance which prevails among our
American youth."

The Sisters Leave

The Sisters left in 1889. In the same
year the Faculty of Physics took full charge
of the Hospital. The Dean was directed to
employ a matron and nurses. After much
investigation the Faculty secured the ser-
vices of Miss Louisa Parsons, a graduate of
St. Thomas Hospital, London, England.

Miss Parsons, a woman of breeding and
culture, acquired much of the philosophy
of Florence Nightingale and put it into
practice. This practice, to a great extent,
exists in the University of Maryland School
of Nursing to this day, i.e., to select wisely,
to educate thoroughly for cultural living.
Miss Parsons proclaimed her purpose of the
school as follows: "To teach the student
to give proper care and health teaching to

school's purpose is to educate; the hospital

community.

The requirements for study, while not
arduous in those days, were more than one
finds in some of the earlier beginning
schools. The curriculum was comparable to
the one at Johns Hopkins. In fact, Miss
Parsons planned it there when she served

as Acting Superintendent of Nurses while
relieving Isabel Hampton Robb. The Hop-
kins School of Nursing was officially opened
October 9, 1889. The University of Mary-
land School of Nursing was opened Decem-
ber 15, 1889. Among some of the first
lecturers in the University of Maryland
were: Dr. Louis McLain Tiffany, who
gave three lectures per week for fifteen
weeks on Surgery, and Dr. I. E. Atkinson,
who gave three hours weekly for the entire
school year, October to May, on Medicine.
Dr. St. Clair Spruill taught Materia Medica
two hours per week for fifteen weeks.
Medical and Surgical Nursing were taught
by Miss Parsons for thirty hours; Bandaging
by Miss Parsons, twenty hours; Professional
Ethics, thirty hours; Nursing Emergencies-
Surgical Staff, Miss Parsons, and Operating
Room Supervisor — fifteen hours.

A Planned Program

Even in those early days one sees a pro-
fessional curriculum or a planned program
of study for the Nursing School. Small in
number perhaps these nurses had the wide
experience and observation so often cited
by Francis Bacon in his fundamental laws
of learning. The nurses of today, because
of mass learning, have neither the time nor
the opportunity to observe for this ex-
perience and observation.

After two hard years of pioneering Miss
Parsons resigned and was followed by Mrs.
Sidney Miller as head of the school. Mrs.
Miller remained only long enough to gradu-
ate one class.

The first graduates of the school to re-
ceive diplomas were:

Miss E. Dunham

Miss Lelia Dunham

Miss Mary Goldsborough

Miss Janet Hale

Miss Annie Edith Lee

Mrs. Kate Crane Lucas

Miss Amy Neal

Miss Anna Louise K. Schleunes

a member of the first class, was chosen as
head of the school. She remained five years
as Director. The Janet Hale Alumnae
Association Scholarship is named in her
honor.

From 1900-1914 several superintendents
served. In 1905 fifty-five students were in
training. Graduates from former classes
were filling important posts all over the
world. The school continued to grow. In
1906 thirteen young women were awarded
diplomas. In an article in the Baltimore
Sun of that date we find: "As a department
of the educational work of the University
of Maryland the Training School for Nurses
is upholding a standard which will com-
mand the respect and confidence of the
public. The graduates of this school are
showing that their training is up to date,
and in keeping with the best traditions of
the University of Maryland."

Miss Alice Bell, class of 1907, served as
the head of the school for several months
from July to October 1908. It was she who
introduced the famous Bell Record System
for training schools in the United States. In
February 1910 she was again called to serve
her Alma Mater, and remained in that
capacity until July 1911.

Important Progress

One finds in reviewing this historical
data of University Hospital the names of
two very important surgeons who served as
Superintendents of the School of Nursing
for short periods in 1908-1910. Dr. Arthur
M. Shipley, Professor of Surgery, University
Hospital, who still remains a kind friend
and a wise counsellor to all nurses, and
the late Dr. Robert P. Bay, Professor of
Oral Surgery, University of Maryland, and
later Chief Surgeon of Maryland General
Hospital. The names of these men are
held in high esteem and reverence by the
nurses. Dr. Bay died January 1, 1940. His
sympathetic attitude will never be forgotten
by graduates of both schools of nursing. His
portraits, which may be found in several
departments of the University, are an indi-
cation of the respect and admiration of all
who knew him as a professor and humani-
tarian.

In 1911 Mrs. Ethel Palmer Clarke, a
graduate of the University School, became
Superintendent. Under her leadership the
school continued to grow and prosper. Mrs.
Clarke resigned in 1914 to take advanced

work in nursing school administration at
Columbia University. Following this she
was Director of the School of the University
of Indiana for many years. Mrs. Clarke was
very active in the Maryland State Nurses
Association, and was instrumental in having
several important laws passed relative to
the Nursing Practice Act in Maryland.

Miss Mary Ellen Sullivan, Miss Helen
Virginia Wise, and Miss Lucy Ann Marshall
served as heads of the school from 1914-
1922.

On July 1, 1922 Miss Annie Crighton, a
graduate of the Johns Hopkins School of
Nursing, took charge of the school. Under
Miss Crighton's direction much growth is
evidenced in the educational program as
well as upholding strict discipline for work
and study, with high ideals for selection and
education. Miss Crighton set a standard
that challenged other schools throughout
the nation. In local and civil affairs she
exhibited a force of character that is
reflected among her graduates all over the

world. In 1924 a combined academic pro-
gram was inaugurated, leading to the de-
gree of Bachelor of Science and a diploma
in nursing. The number of candidates in
this five year program is increasing rapidly
each year. Miss Crighton resigned June 2,
1943. The graduates of the school under
her direction are living tributes to her suc-
cess as a leader. "By their deeds ye shall
know them."

The contributions to the world by Uni-
versity of Maryland nurses is worthy of note.
In World Wars I and II they distinguished
themselves. In World War I Miss Mary
Gavin, who received the rank of Lieuten-
ant Colonel, was Chief Nurse of Base Hos-
pital No. 42, and was decorated for services.
Miss Barbara Stauffer received the Royal
Red Cross Medal from the Prince of Wales.
Elizabeth Collins Lee received a citation
for outstanding services. One graduate, Miss
Charlotte Cox, died in France, and Miss
Judith Viberg died in service at Camp Lee,
Virginia.

In World War II Lieutenant Colonel
Grace Dick, a graduate of the school, was
Chief Nurse of Base Hospital No. 42-
Colonel Dick received numerous citations
and decorations for her high standard of
leadership.

One University graduate, Miss Louise
Hollister, died in service in World War II.

Following Miss Crighton's resignation in
1943 Miss Katherine Shea was Acting
Superintendent until Mrs. Ivy B. Clifford,
R.N., B.S., A.M., University of New York,
was appointed Director of the School.

Blanche Hoffmaster

After Mrs. Clifford's resignation in
August 1945 the work was for a time
under the direction of Miss Blanche Hoff-
master, a graduate of the school, as Acting
Director. Miss Hoffmaster's motherly ap-
proach and sympathetic attitude toward
students and graduates won the admira-
tion of all who knew her.

On January 7, 1946 the Board of Re-
gents and President Byrd of the University
appointed Miss Florence M. Gipe as Di-
rector of the Division of Nursing Educa-
tion and Nursing Service of the University
of Maryland. Miss Gipe, a graduate of
York Hospital, York, Pennsylvania, has
had a wide preparation for administration

and teaching in mid-western universities
and hospitals. Among them are Western

America, Washington, D.C. she holds a
Bachelors degree, from the graduate
school, University of Pennsylvania she
holds a Masters degree, and for the past
several years has been a student in the
School of Higher Studies, Johns Hopkins
University where she is majoring in
research.

One of her recent accomplishments
since coming to University Hospital is that
she is co-author of a book soon to be
published on clinical methods of teaching
and administration in schools of nursing.

New Committee

In June 1946 a new Nursing School
Committee was appointed with Dr. L. A.
M. Krause as Chairman. Other members
serving with Dr. Krause represent a special
field of interest in order that nursing edu-
cation may be safeguarded. These fields
represented are:

Medical profession 2; Public Health 1;
Community 1; General education 1; Board
of Regents 1; Nurses Alumnae 2; Director
of School 1; Superintendent of Hospital 1;
Dean of Medical School 1.

This Committee is appointed upon rec-
ommendation of the National League of
Nursing Education, and serves as advisor
to the administration of the University.

Since the Committee has been function-
ing some notable changes have taken
place. The teaching faculty has been in-
creased to ten instructors, eight of whom
hold college degrees. They are:

Florence M. Gipe, B.A., M.S., R.N.—
University of Pennsylvania — Director.

Myrtle M. Robertson, B.S., R.N.— Uni-
versity of New York — Associate Director.

Shirley Byers, B.S., R.N. — University of
Maryland.

Eva Bradley, B.S., R.N. — Johns Hopkins
University.

Anna Holmes, B.S., R.N. — Columbia
University.

Jean Bloom, B.S., R.N. — University of

Doctors Lecture

Besides the well prepared nurse teach-
ing factdty the students are taught Chem-
istry, Microbiology, Pharmacology and
Mental Hygiene by leading professors of
these particular schools belonging to the
University. Doctors who teach in the
School of Medicine serve as lecturers and
help direct courses in the School of Nurs-
ing. Two affiliations exist; one at Shep-
pard Pratt Hospital. One in the City
Health Department.

Students are accepted into the School
of Nursing by a Committee on Admis-
sions. The Chairman of this Committee
is Dr. Edgar F. Long who serves as Ex-
ecutive Director of Admissions of the Uni-
versity of Maryland, College Park, Mary-
land.

The future objective of the University
of Maryland School of Nursing is com-
parable to all other departments of the
University, i.e. to serve society by pro-
ducing leaders in their chosen work.

A graduate school of Nursing Education
under the direction of the University of
Maryland in the very near future will
help us to attain a goal for which there

has been a long felt need by nurse educa-
tors in Maryland and nearby communities.

The Alumnae Association

The graduates of the School of Nursing
formed an Alumnae Association in 1895,
seven years after the school was officially
opened. To date 1157 nurses have grad-
uated from the school. Many of them are
wives of famous physicians and surgeons,
and mothers of doctors and nurses from
the University of Maryland. The Alumnae
Association owns and operates its own
Directory for University nurses.

The Alumnae or graduate cap privileged
to be worn in the United States only by
University of Maryland nurses, was pat-
terned officially by Florence Nightingale.
It was given to Miss Parsons when she
was preparing to come to the United
States. The school cap is made of white
organdy with a black velvet band which
is worn at present.

The census of the School of Nursing is
at present:

Seniors — 61.

Intermediates — 56.

Juniors — 29.

Preclinicals — 50.

This year the University of Maryland
will award diplomas to ninety nurses at
their annual graduation, the largest class
ever to graduate from the University of
Maryland School of Nursing.

BEGIN IN THE HOME

The foundations of your whole life —
physical, emotional, and mental — are laid
in the home. The well-ordered home based
on love, mutual helpfulness, and intelli-

civilization. By living and working together
in the home we acquire the virtues, habits,
and skills needed for the highest success
in life. By doing your part in the tasks
about the home; by helping to keep it
clean, orderly, and beautiful; by seeking
to make it a peaceful, friendly, and happy
place; you learn to think, to plan, and to
work with others in ways that will help
you to perform well your part in school
and community. Exalt, enrich, and beautify
your home. It is the foundation of your

LIBRARY

(Concluded from Page 11)

Maryland Collection, already mentioned, is
the large group of hand-written theses sub-
mitted to the school for the degree of
Doctor of Medicine from 1817 to 1886. The
general Historical Collection of books pub-
lished before 1840 is important with vol-
umes significant in medical history. But
perhaps our greatest pride is in those
earliest volumes, the Crawford Collection.
The library staff is always eager to display
these books to interested alumni and others.
It is hoped that at some future time, when
funds permit completing the restoration of
the old bindings, the library may have a
well publicized exhibit of this unusual
collection and pay tribute to its original
owner, Dr. John Crawford.

Formally Chartered In 1840,
The University's College
Of Dental Surgery, Dental
School, Has Progressed
Remarkably ....

J$y Qardner P.M. Joley, M-.c4.

Assistant Professor of Dental History and
Dental Literature

THE story of the Baltimore College of
Dental Surgery, University ot Maryland
forms a highly colorful and extremely im-
portant chapter in the history of American
dentistry. The founding of the School
marked not only the beginning of the for-
mal and effective training of the dentist but
also the establishment of dentistry as a pro-
fession, the only one of the professions that
may be described as an American-born
profession. For over a century the Baltimore
College of Dental Surgery has maintained
strong national and international reputa-
tions in the field of dental education. In
addition to the historical significance at-
tached to it as the first dental college in
the world, the B.C.D.S., as the School has
been familiarly known and cherished by
its host of loyal alumni, has consistently
gained and preserved recognition for its
great contributions to the progress of the
dental profession. From its humble but
sure and immediately influential beginning
in 1840 the School has led or cooperated
in bringing about the remarkable expan-
sion and improvement that have character-
ized the development of the art and science
of dentistry in this country during the
period of its existence.

The First Lectures

The first lectures on dentistry given in
this country were delivered by Dr. Horace
H. Hayden in the University of Maryland,
School of Medicine, between the years
1823-24. Serious internal dissensions in the
School of Medicine caused the discontinu-
ance of these lectures in 1825. Dr. Hayden,
a man of vision and intellectual power, had
become firmly convinced of the fact that
subjects related to dental science should be
given greater attention than had been given
them by the medical schools. He was also
keenly aware of the shortcomings present
in the preceptorial and apprenticeship plans
of education then the only available media
for the training of the so-called dentist.
The internal strife in the Medical School
defeated the long cherished aim of Hayden
that dental education should be developed
as a special branch of medical teaching.

In 1800

From 1800, the year of his coming to
Baltimore to begin the practice of dent-
istry, Hayden had given careful thought
to the very apparent need for establishing
a scientific foundation for the practice of
dentistry. In 1831 Dr. Chapin A. Harris
came to Baltimore to study in the office
of Hayden. Dr. Harris, because of his un-
usual ability and special qualifications,

was well equipped to cooperate with his
mentor in promoting the latter's project
for providing formal dental education.

Since the difficulties involved in making
dental education a part of the curriculum
of medical schools had been tested by Dr.
Hayden's experience at the University of
Maryland, Hayden and Harris decided to
work for the creation of a dental college
that would be independent of medical edu-
cation, an institution that would be the
first of its kind in the world. With the
active support of the leading members of
the medical profession in Maryland and
with the earnest cooperation of their fellow
practitioners of dentistry Hayden and Harris
petitioned the legislature for a charter. On
February 1, 1840 the Maryland Legislature
granted a charter to the Baltimore College
of Dental Surgery.

Dr. Hayden, President

At the first faculty meeting, held on
February 3, Dr. Hayden was elected presi-
dent and Dr. Harris dean. On November
3, Dr. Hayden delivered the introductory

lecture to the five students enrolled in the
first class: Joseph W. Clowes, New York
City; Thomas Payne, New York City;
Joseph B. Savier, Norfolk, Va., Robert
Arthur, Baltimore; and R. Covington
Mackall, Baltimore. At the first commence-
ment — March 9, 1841 — Arthur and Mackall
were awarded the diploma of the College.
Because Arthur's name had alphabetical
priority, he became the first graduate and
received the first diploma. The diplomas
of Arthur and Mackall are in the Museum
of the School. Both Arthur and Mackall
became distinguished practitioners. Arthur,
through his writing and teaching, achieved
a reputation that brought great credit not
only to himself but also to his alma mater.
Throughout their professional careers these
two men by evidencing the values they
had received from their dental college train-
ing contributed greatly to the cause of
dental education.

Dentists Organized

During the first half century of formal
dental education in the United States the

majority of the schools were of the proprie-
tary classification. Groups of dentists, con-
stituting themselves as faculties or as the
key men of faculties, organized colleges
for the teaching of dentists. Some of these
institutions were conducted by men who
were guided in their efforts by their
earnest desire to build up the standards of
their profession through effective educa-
tion; others were administered by those
whose primary purpose in teaching was the
financial returns involved in their work. By
the turn of the century several universities
had added schools or departments of dent-
istry to their already established educational
units. Harvard and Michigan were leaders
in this important development in the pro-
gress of dental education. A department of
dentistry was organized at the University of
Maryland in 1882, graduating an annual
class from 1883 to 1923. With the growing
strength of the profession there came
organization within the field of dental edu-
cation that imposed standards and require-
ments upon all the schools. As a result
of this system of discipline the proprietary
schools were eliminated or were obliged
to seek affiliation with universities. All of
the dental schools of the United States are
now members of university families.

Schools Combined

On June 15, 1923 the student bodies of
the Baltimore College of Dental Surgery and
the University of Maryland, School of
Dentistry were amalgamated. Thus the
first dental school became a department of
the University (which had become a State
institution in 1920), under State supervision
and control.

The chief purpose of the Dental School,
University of Maryland, is to meet the oral
health needs of the people of the State and
to serve the dental profession in this section
of the country. That the state depends
almost entirely upon the Dental School
for its supply of dentists is attested by the
fact that ninety-seven percent of the dent-
ists of Maryland are its graduates; that the
adjoining states without dental schools
depend largely on it for assistance is shown

ing and publishing of the AMERICAN JOURNAL

Dental Surgeons.

by the fact that about two- thirds of the
School's enrollment is non-resident. Its
local and regional usefulness is therefore
very important to the people of this area.

Since the founding of the modern Uni-
versity of Maryland in 1920 and since in
1923 the Baltimore College of Dental Sur-
gery was adopted by it as the Dental
School of the University, the quality of
education provided by the School has
steadily increased. Standards of admission
have been improved to ensure sound
scholarship of all matriculants; the curricu-
lum has continually been adjusted to
include in it the improvements made in
dental research and dental practice; the
teaching staff has been enlarged and
strengthened; the teachers are now in large
part on a full-time basis with a single in-
terest; methods of teaching have been
rationalized; the equipment has been com-
pletely modernized; and the physical facili-
ties have been expanded as far as the
restricted financial support which has been
afforded the Dental School will allow. The
results of these advances in and supports of

educational standards have been recognized
both locally and nationally and are re-
flected in the uniformly well-qualified
gradudates who go out from the School
and the high esteem in which it is held
by the profession in general.

State's Needs

The relatively small number of Maryland
boys who have entered the Dental School
in the past and the insufficient number
of those graduating who locate in Maryland
have created a serious problem in the dis-
tribution of dental care to the people of
the State. Because of the greater oppor-
tunity in large centers this limited supply
of dentists gravitates to the larger and more
inviting urban areas. This tendency creates
a serious situation in the rural areas where
dental care is now badly needed. Recently
a change has appeared in the composition
of the student body. A much larger number
of Maryland students are registering in the
Dental School, a situation which will re-
sult in the graduation of more dentists for
practice in the State in the years that lie
immediately ahead. As a consequence, the
law of supply and demand will operate to
cause a wider distribution of practitioners
in rural sections and thus provide a much
needed health care in what are now
neglected areas.

School's Responsibility

The Dental School recognizes its responsi-
bility to provide educational opportunities
to meet the total needs of the people of
the State and of the profession. With the
advances that are being made in the basic
and dental science, and the improvements
that are being made in the technical pro-
cedures involved in the art of dental prac-
tice, it is necessary for the graduate dentist
to be constantly on the alert and to take
advantage of improvements that are made
in his profession. In order to provide this
service the Dental School Faculty is in a
position and is anxious to offer extension
courses on a comprehensive scale to the
dentists in the various counties of Maryland
and to those located in the City of Balti-
more. Such a program has been discussed
by the Faculty and plans are now under
consideration for its further development
so as to provide a needed service to the
dentists practicing in the various counties
who might request such extension courses.

THE FIRST GRADUATES

Robert Arthur (left) and R. Covington Mackall (right), both of Baltimore, formed the first class to graduate

from a dental college.

Currently, extension education is limited to
courses that are being given the members
of the Baltimore City Dental Society and
members of the Maryland Dental Society —
the association of colored dentists in Balti-
more. These local efforts have been so
successful and productive of such good that
the Faculty is greatly encouraged to believe
that a statewide plan of extension service
would be beneficial to and welcomed by the
dentists of Maryland.

Research

The teachers in the Dental School are
actively engaged in research. Typical of the
work that has been done is the study of Dr.
M. S. Aisenberg, Professor of Pathology,
of portal of entry of poliomyelitis virus.
Poliomyelitis is caused by an invasion of
a virus into a nerve trunk along which it
moves to the spinal cord and the brain.
Since the teeth are generously supplied
with nerves and since an exposure of a
nerve would open up a path from the out-
side to the nerve trunk, Dr. Aisenberg con-
ceived the idea that the nerves of the teeth
exposed by dental cavities might render
the patient peculiarly susceptible to such
infection. To test his theory he inoculated
the tooth pulps of monkeys, one of which
developed paralytic poliomyelitis and others
non-paralytic poliomyelitis. Studies were
then made of epidemic cases in North
Carolina, New Jersey and Baltimore where
it was found that 60 to 70% of the
patients had tooth pulp exposures. A con-
trol group of these same areas showed only
20 to 30% pulpal exposure. The difference
in susceptibility of these two groups is
highly significant. In certain communities
in which one part per million of fluorine
or more is present in potable water there
is less dental caries than in those com-
munities in which there is less than one
part per million of fluorine in water. A
survey of the incidence of poliomyelitis in
such communities was made. This com-
parison showed that where the potable water
contained one part per million or more of
fluorine there were 45% fewer cases of
poliomyelitis. Less caries indicates fewer

pulpal exposure, and fewer pulpal ex-
posure seems to indicate less poliomyelitis.
If these findings are verified through further
study, which Dr. Aisenberg is now conduct-
ing, dentistry in its prevention and correc-
tion of dental decay will offer the only
preventive measure (against poliomyelitis)
that has been discovered.

Welfare

The clinics of the Dental School, Univer-
sity of Maryland, are designed primarily for
teaching purposes. Through his varied as-
signments in the several clinics the student
learns to apply his scientific knowledge and
perfect the skills necessary to the successful
practice of dentistry. In addition, these
clinics provide opportunities for those of
the lower income groups to secure com-
petent dental care at a low cost or without
cost. In 1946 there were approximately
98367 dental operations performed in the
dental clinics by the students for the poor
people of Baltimore and its environs. About
40% of this work was wholly free to those
who were medically indigent. The welfare
aspect of the work done at the Dental
School is of great value to the citizens of
Baltimore.

NAVY TERMINAL LEAVE

All ex-Naval personnel, who were on
active duty on and after September 1, 1946,
exclusive of terminal leave, and who were
not given the opportunity to submit claims
for the settlement of their unused leave,
prior to their separation from the Naval
Service, should write to the Bureau of
Naval Personnel (Attn: Pers 8247) with a
request that the Bureau compute their leave
credit as of August 31, 1946, and prepare
a claim for settlement of unused leave in
excess of 60 days standing to their credit
on September 1, 1946.

The request should indicate the claim-
ant's full name, rating at time of discharge,
service number, date and place of separa-
tion, and present mailing address.

The Bureau of Naval Personnel will pre-
pare the proper claim form and send it

DEAN J. BEN ROBINSON. D.D.S., D.Sc.

Dr. J. Ben Robinson, Dean of the School of Den-
tistry since 1924, received his undergraduate train-
ing at Marshall College. After a period of post-
graduate study at West Virginia University he spent
six years as a teacher in the public schools of
West Virginia. In 1911 he began the study of
dentistry at the University of Maryland. On his
graduation in 1914 he joined the faculty of the
School as Demonstrator of Operative Dentistry. In
1916 Dr. Robinson was appointed Professor of Clini-
cal Dentistry; and in 1918, Professor of Operative
Dentistry. He filled this chair until 1921, when he
resigned to devote his entire attention to his ex-
tensive practice. In this year he was elected
President of the Maryland State Dental Association.
Appointed by Governor Ritchie to the State Board
of Dental Examiners, Dr. Robinson served from
1922 to 1924, when he resigned to become Dean
of the Dental School. Chiefly through his skillful
and wise administration the oldest dental college
has continually gained in the strength of its faculty
and the value of its curriculum.

Dr. Robinson has received wide recognition for
his many contributions to American dentistry. As
a climax to a versatile and unusually active career
in the profession he was elected President of the
American Dental Association in 1943. He is a past
president of the American Association of Dental
Schools and of the American College of Dentists.
The Alpha Omega Dental Fraternity awarded him
its annual Achievement Medal (1941); the Con-
necticut State Dental Association conferred upon
him the Fones Award for notable contributions to
dentistry (1942); the Ohio State Dental Society
presented him with the Callahan Medal awarded
annually for outstanding contributions to dentistry
(1944). Dr. Robinson has been a member of the
Council on Education of the American Dental Asso-
ciation since its beginning in 1937. Through his
service on the Council Dr. Robinson has influenced
greatly the recent progress of dental education.
His enthusiastic support of measures for the achieve-
ment and maintenance of high standards in dental
education; his knowledge of dental history; his
ability to speak and write effectively on the im-
portant questions related to dentistry; his forceful
and capable leadership — these qualifications have

A Neglected Chapter In The
History Of Anatomical
Illustration And Instruc-
tion ....

(From "Illinois Tech. Engineer," Illinois Institute
of Technology.)

JUST AS WE expect an automobile me-
chanic to be conversant with the parts
and functions of an internal combustion
engine, so we have a right to demand that
the physician has a technical knowledge of
the machinery of our body and its normal
or pathological physiology.

Anatomic illustration and instruction is
an aspect of historical medicine which was
in part even unfamiliar to the late Dr.
Fielding Garrison whose "Epitome of the
History of Medicine" — a really monumental
work in spite of its modest title — does not
contain even a paragraph on certain parts
of my subject. In Mortimer Frank's trans-
lation of Choulant's "History of Anatomic
Illustration," this same Dr. Garrison wrote
a chapter on the use of plastic material
in medicine restricted to ancient marble
and metallic votives. However, his article

A NEGLECTED CHAPTE

makes no mention of the figurines which
are eventually the subject matter of this
article and of the illustrations herein con-
tained. These figurines were prepared and
used during the 17th-18th and the early
part of the 19th centuries for the purpose
of teaching anatomy and midwifery —
obstetrics.

They Were Artists

In outlining the sequence of events which
eventually lead to the production of the
manikins or figurines, the writer hopes to
succeed in avoiding gruesome anatomical
situations which might be revolting. In out-
lining the evolution of the subject matter
certain facts must be presented for purposes
of historical continuity; but the emphasis
will be on the artistry of our medical
forebearers and the people — artists — -who
labored with them.

Aristole's description of the isolated or-
gans of lower animals was faulty to ridicu-
lous in many instances; and the famous
Galen performed his dissections, partly on
dogs, but usually on swine. Galen did make
a rather difficult trip from Rome to Alex-
andria to view a human skeleton, but had
no knowledge of the form and relationship
of the internal organs of man. In tht
Rome of his day human dissection was no*
permitted. His animal experimentation was
likewise restricted to dogs, apes, and swine,
as the result of which he made many fun-
damental discoveries and some errors.

Thirteen Centuries

The physicians who followed Galen at-
tributed his work to human dissection and
his writings, necessarily devoid of illustra-
tions, constituted as sacrosanct a volume
on medicine as is the Bible today to a
Fundamentalist. For some thirteen cen-
turies no one but a medical heretic would

FROM 1639

of an early anatomical study published in 1639.

doubt his "ex cathedra" statements. Sub-
sequently, when anatomists found the
human anatomy different from Galen's
descriptions, it was interpreted as meaning
that man had changed since the time of
Galen. Thus evoking the first known theory
of evolution without questioning the falli-
bility of this great man.

With the decadence of the Roman Em-
pire, Galen's works and those of other
Greek physicians were translated into Ara-
bic. Arabs by the tenets of their religion
were not permitted to desecrate the human
body by dissection. In the process of trans-

lation, the original text was paraphased
and garbled, and, when in the 11th cen-
tury the Benedictine monks retranslated the
Arabic texts into Latin, further garbling
of the Arabic text was inevitable — no two
translations being the same.

In the 14th century an annual judicial
and public dissection of a condemned
criminal was permitted in Venice. About
1316 Raymond de Luzzi (Mondino) was
the first to teach from a cadaver. His in-
structions consisted of four discourses cou-
pled with dissections on the human body
before the student body. If these dissec-

tions were inadequate and most perfunctory
the trend was in the right direction, in
spite of a blind leaning to the dicta of
Galen whose descriptions were read by the
professor whilst a prosector did the actual
dissection. The written word of Galen held
precedence over the actual findings of the
specimen immediately before the audience.
In the 16th century there lived a group
of medical (philological) humanists such as
Guinther of Audernach and the Catholic
priest Thomas Linacre of England. These
men were dissatisfied with the medical texts
which had been garbled in turn by the
Arabian physicians and the Benedictine
monks. The humanists retranslated the
original Galen texts and others, and were
impressed by the scientific method em-
ployed by Galen. As a result there fol-
lowed the method of direct investigation.

Andreas Vesalius

A pupil of these men was Andreas Vesa-
lius, an indefatigable dissector of the hu-
man body and now considered the father
of human anatomy. His illustrations from
actual human dissections were published
in 1543 under the title "Fabrica Corporis
Humani."

With the advent of printing, wood block
figures, and real investigation on the cada-
ver, modern anatomy began. There were,
however, two difficulties:

1. The anatomist was not likely to be
an artist who could portray accurately what
he saw in his dissections. Bartholomew
Eustachius was an outstanding exception.
He could both dissect and make accurate
copper plates of his dissections.

2. The employed artist, on the other

hand, was primarily concerned with exter-
nal form and as a dissector was not inter-
ested in nor could he dissect carefully the
internal organs. Leonardo da Vinci was an
exceptional genius but even he worked in
conjunction with a surgeon, who, inciden-
tally, died before the joint projected col-
laborative work was completed. As a result,
collaboration of the artist and the anato-
mist offered the logical solution when the
anatomist was not also somewhat of an
artist.

Bartholomew Eustachius was both an
artist and an anatomist as well. His vol-
ume of anatomical plates completed in
1563, although not published until 1714, is
his handiwork alone. Not only did he pre-
pare the illustrative dissections but he also
made the copper engravings. The engrav-
ings are hard and stiff from an artistic
point of view, but they are more accurate
than the plates in the earlier Vesalius'
"Fabrica Corporis Humani" which were
prepared by van Calcar, a pupil of Titian.
The Vesalius plates are more pleasing to
the eye but betray definite artistic ten-
dencies absent in the Eustachian prints.

Beautiful Plates

The most beautiful and accurate ana-
tomical plates ever produced by an artist
from specimens prepared by the Dutch
anatomist, Govvard Bidloo, and published
in folio during the last quarter of the 17th
century. These plates represent the most
beautiful examples of copper etchings of
an anatomical nature. The illustrations
appealed so strongly to a distinguished Eng-
lish anatomist, William Cowper, by name,
that he acquired 177 sets of the illustra-
tions, wrote an English text for them and

published them in England under his own
name in 1698 after adding a few inconse-
quential illustrations of his own. Cowper
simply pasted his name over that of Bid-
loo's on the title page. The theft was soon
detected. Cowper was exposed by the illus-
trious Haller who wrote to the effect that
"it is to be grieved (dolendum est) that
so great a man (Cowper) lent himself to
such seduction."

But even the finest examples of collabo-
ration of artist and anatomist failed to
represent the body structures in three
dimensions, thus failing to represent the
organs in their relationship to one another.
Endeavoring to overcome this lack, the
idea of constructing illustrations by a
method of superimposed plates occurred
independently to several different, widely-
separated anatomists and teachers. These
plates were designed to fold back like the
leaves of a book revealing successive oc-
currence of the various organs in the body.

Marvel Of Ingenuity

One of the earliest of these was produced
in 1576 by Thurneyyser. The best example
was that designed by J. Remmelin in 1607,
who believed that the form was his own
invention. It is to marvel at the ingenuity
and patience of the artist when one ex-
amines these folding superimposed figured
flaps. Hours must have been consumed in
deciding how best to illustrate and con-
struct these intricate anatomical charts.

But* even this form of anatomical rep-
resentation was not deemed satisfactory to
some anatomists and surgeons. They re-
sorted to plastic materials to illustrate con-
tours and relationships in three dimensional
space. To overcome these difficulties, they

constructed manikins or little men and
women. The surviving manikins, carved
most commonly in ivory and containing
movable parts, are very rare. The only
collection of them in this country, consist-
ing of ten figures, is owned by the author,
who uses five to illustrate this article.

Briefly, the manikin is a model of the
human body, containing many of its parts
which can be removed in demonstrating its
anatomy or in practicing certain manipu-
lations as in obstetrics. For the most part
the figurines are carved in ivory, wood, or
marble, and are from 15 to 18 centimeters
in length. As a rule the manikin is con-
structed so that one or both arms are mov-
able at the shoulder joint about pegs. The
chest and abdominal wall can be removed
as one piece, revealing the various thoracic
(chest) and abdominal viscera, either cut
out of the block or appearing therein as
movable structures. The latter construc-
tion led to loss of the parts.

A common rule seems to have been es-
tablished in the construction of the male
and the female manikins, for in most ex-
amples the female abdomen contains a
pregnant uterus with a fetus in a "See No
Evil" position; the male abdomen, on the
other hand, usually encloses a large urinary
bladder which is often winged.

Flaming Liver

Only one of the models pictured merits
a special description, since it was con-
structed for purely artistic reasons. This
will be obvious, for the organ systems are
represented allegorically. For example, the
respiratory system is represented by two
diminutive carved men pumping up a pair
of bellows (the lungs). The circulatory
system is indicated by a figure pounding
an anvil with a sledge hammer (pulse).
A vat containing fermenting grapes being
squeezed by a seated figure symbolizes the
gastro-intestinal system. The finished pro-
duct of which is shown running into a sack
held open by a small man (the G. I. tract).
A cauldron enveloped in flame is used to
describe the liver, long considered the hot-
test organ in the body. All parts in this
manikin are sessile, since they are delicately
carved from one piece of ivory.

To Aid Students

Medical writing from the past contains
many references to the use of these figures
in giving instruction on the physiology of
pregnancy. One writer relates the story of
a young bride (1865) who tells of receiving
instruction with others on pregnancy from
a lecturer using one of these female ivory
manikins for illustration. Another teacher
left a note to the effect that he had con-
structed the figurine so that his students
could be better taught than those who com-
monly practiced midwifery with evil effects
because of their ignorance of anatomical
parts. And on the other hand, there is
ample evidence that an artist often con-
structed a manikin for his own amusement,
or for some wealthy and professionally in-
terested person. Yet one could take more
space proving that the carved replicas were
constructed for the purpose of teaching
anatomy and obstetrics, or develop the
thesis that it was a powerful artistic drive
that prompted their construction, and not
make the point that a few minutes' careful
examination of the illustrations will make.

DR. WESLEY GEWEHR

DR. GEWEHR SPEAKS

Dr. Wesley M. Gewehr, of the Maryland
History Department, was the guest speaker
at the Founders' Day Luncheon of Mortar
Board at the Washington Club.

Speaking on "Peace and International
Realities," Dr. Gewehr said that the mathe-
maticians and scientists are taking upon
themselves the responsibilities of the social
sciences. He stated that these are the four
realities that we must face in this new
world.

He stated that, first, we have a new wea-
pon. Secondly, there is no sure defense
against the atom bomb. Thirdly, there can
be no monopoly, and last, there can be
no supremacy.

A world agency is the only alternative
that has a chance to work in the future,
said Dr. Gewehr. If we do not take that
alternative, we will have to take a world
conflict or a half way position leading
toward chaos and confusion.

Other guests of honor at the luncheon
were Miss Adele Stamp, Dean of Women
at Maryland University; Miss Virginia Kirk-
bride, Dean of Women at George Washing-
ton University; Miss Genie Simmons, presi-
dent of the Mortar Board chapter of Mary-
land University; and Lois Lord, president
of the Mortar Board chapter of George
Washington University.

82 YEARS YOUNG

In the late 1880's a young florist shop
worker traveled three thousand miles from
California to Baltimore to enroll in the
Baltimore College of Dentistry, which later
was to become part of the University of
Maryland.

That young westerner, who earned his
tuition by working three years for the
California florist, was graduated from the
dental school in 1894 and has been prac-
ticing dentistry in an active capacity ever
since. Today, Dr. George E. Shattuck, the
California florist whose choosing was dental
work, is at eighty-two one of the country's
oldest practicing medical men.

Forty-nine of Dr. Shattuck 's fifty- two
years of practice have been in the vicinity
of Norristown, Pa. and it is there that he
is recognized as one of the town's leading
citizens as well as one of the most com-
petent dentists in the area. To his home
town friends he is a religious leader, a
vociferous reader, an ardent civic worker,
and an outstanding professional man.

Advanced age has not dulled Dr. Shat-
tuck's quest for the new. Up until a few
years ago he specialized in extractions and
recently has changed his practice over to
dentures, keeping abreast of all latest de-
velopments in this field and readily apply-
ing them to his business.

Dr. Shattuck first came in contact with
the dental profession while working in a
dentist's office in Sparta, Wis., when he
was twenty-two years old. It was then that
he decided to make that his life's work
and subsequently travelled to California.

Still active physically as well as mentally,
Dr. Shattuck today gets much of his exer-
cise through walking, but it was not many
years ago that he stopped playing tennis,
a game at which he was known as some-
what of an expert among family and neigh-
bors. His reading is varied. One of his
few boasts is of having read the Bible
through seven times.

Forty-five years ago, Dr. Shattuck mar-
ried Lille B. Rinker of Wilmington, Del.,
and together they have become an integ-
ral part of their community. The couple
have one son, Professor G. Edgar Shattuck
of Poultney, Vt., and three daughters, Mrs.
Bland Detweiller of Camden, N. J., Mrs.
Fred Alexander of Salina, Kans., and Sarah
Shattuck, who teaches school in Norristown.

Dr. Shattuck has ten grandchildren. Five
of them are boys, one of which he "hopes
will grow up to be a dentist, a graduate of
the University of Maryland."

COLLEGIATE 4-H CLUB

Approximately 50 4-H club boys and
girls attending the University of Maryland
have formed a collegiate 4-H Club which
will enable them to continue their interest
in club work while in college.

Officers elected at a recent meeting were:
President — Richard Greenwood from Fred-
erick County, Vice President — Mary Harry
Davis from Harford County, Secretary —
Joan Giddings from Anne Arundel County,
Treasurer — Earl Crouse from Carroll Coun-
ty, Representative to Agricultural Council —
William Ensor, Jr., from Harford County,
Reporter — Peggy Ensor from Harford
County.

The announced aims of the club are;
To unite a 4-H Club on campus; To be a
service club for 4-H Clubs; To unite Club
freshmen and help them orientiate them-
selves to college life; To try to interest
other 4-H'ers in -attending the University
of Maryland; To be a work shop for 4-H
students who desire to become teachers
and county agents; To help instruct its
members to become future local leaders;
To publish the 4-H paper, "News and
Views of 4-H Clubs"; To assist county
organizations in a program and recreation.

THE NAME REMAINS

NO SUCH crackpot reformer as this
minister had come along the pike in
years, many Americans were declaring in
the 1830's. Of course a parson was ex-
pected to try to improve morals, but this
one was all excited about health which
he should have left to the doctors.

He was a temperance advocate. He pro-
claimed that the average American not only
drank like a fish but he ate like a horse;
that he ate too much, too fast and the
wrong foods. "Downright gluttony" killed
about 100,000 Americans a year, he believed
— twice as many as alcoholism. Lecturing
and writing busily, he advised his country-
men that they ought to ventilate their
bedrooms at night and take more than one
bath a month — three a week, in fact. He
•even dared to tell the ladies not to lace
so tightly.

So many people were suffering from indi-
gestion, dyspepsia, and similar miseries in
the midriff that the reformer's food cam-
paign succeeded in a large way. Horace
Greeley, who never could remember when
it was mealtime any way, supported him
c-ditorially and personally. Sjaecial board-
ing houses were opened to serve the recom-
mended diet only.

Featured on his regimen was bread made
from whole wheat, unbolted and coarsely
ground. It is that item of his diet which
keeps his name on the tip of many tongues
today. Whenever you ask for graham bread
or graham crackers, you are paying at least
lip service to the celebrity of Sylvester
Graham.

THE DOCTORS LIFE

The same old patients coming in,

Long or short, stout or thin.

Some fine people nice to see,

Some old crabs who dead should be.

Some old bum with lame excuse

Simply trying to get some booze.

Some old agent, I'd know the look,

Trying to sell me some damn book.

Some old ringing telephone bell

Instead of "Hello, I could say, "Oh, hell."

Some calls silly, waste my time,

Make me feel like committing a crime.

Some women scared by a noise at night,

Only the old man coming home tight.

Some baby bawling an awful wail

Because he fell into a pail.

Some black eyes are closed with pain,

Husband and wife are fighting again.

Some Mrs. W. burned her hand

Now it hurts to beat the band.

Mother laid the food down quick,

Tommy ate fast and now he's sick

Dad hit his finger and not the peg.

Grandma fell and broke her leg.

Some boy tripped o'er a hidden stump,

Now his head has a great big bump.

Some Uncle John looks very pale,

Soused from drinking too much ale.

Some little wife is having pain,

Wants a girl this time, not a boy again

Some kids went out for a ride —
Drove fast, upset, nearly died.
Some young man who stayed too late,
Girl's father shot and shot too straight.
Some man doesn't feel very well,
Knows it's grippe for he "feels like hell".
Some woman in an hysterical holler,
Husband, Scotchman, gave her a dollar.
Some calls serious, makes me sad,
Useless calls make me damn mad.
So it goes from day to day;
What use is it for me to say:
"I will not go; get someone else"?
I know I'm simply just too dense.
No matter what should be the rule
I'll make the calls like the same damn fool.
—A. S. McC.

MEDICAL SCHOLARSHIPS

A bill proposing free scholarships at the
University of Maryland School of Medicine
for one student from each of the counties
and each of Baltimore city's legislative dis-
tricts was introduced by Senator Louis L.
Goldstein (D., Calvert).

The reason for introducing the legisla-
tion, Senator Goldstein said, was the criti-
cal shortage of doctors in Maryland. Three
counties, he said, do not even have a pub-
lic health doctor despite the fact the law
calls for one in each county of the State.

These counties are Garrett, St. Marys
and Queen Annes, and Mr. Goldstein said
the State Health Department had tried time
after time to find suitable young doctors
for the posts, only to find no one available.

According to the bill's sponsor, the bill
for the scholarships could be footed by the
University of Maryland Medical School
itself.

Applicants would necessarily be college
graduates, since the university medical
school requires its students to have had
premedical courses approved by the Ameri-
can Medical Association.

The State senators would award the
scholarships, but only after competitive ex-
aminations that would be given by the uni-
versity medical school itself. This, accord-
ing to the sponsor, would nullify the
chances of political favoritism.

There are other safeguards in the pro-
posed law. Senators would be bound to
investigate the financial standing of a pro-
spective appointee, and would be expressly
forbidden to grant a scholarship to any
student whose parents were able to pay his
tuition.

Only tuition and laboratory fees would
come free. Living costs would be borne by
the student, who could work his way if
necessary.

At the time of his appointment, the hold-
er of a scholarship would be required to
post a bond guaranteeing that he would
practice in his own county or district for
at least three years after graduation.

13th CENTURY APPAREL

In the 13th century, the physician of
Europe wore a four-cornered beret on his
head and a distinctive ring on his index
finger. In the 14th, 15th, 16th and 17th
centuries, the physician wore a long robe,
which as such remained the same but with
regard to trimmings changed according to
style changes. Thus, at one time the sleeves
would be wide and at another time nar-
row. At one time sleeves and neck would
be trimmed with fur and again with vel-
vet. The Renaissance physician blossomed
out in cloak, broad-brimmed hat which
was seldom worn, except under the arm, a
periwig with three queues to indicate the
man of science, a gold-headed cane, and
buckled shoes. The end of distinctive dress
came in the 19th century when medicine
was recognized as a dignified science. Since
then, the physician has appeared in mufti
so to speak.

FRIENDSHIP

Greater love hath no man than this,
that a man lay down his life for his friends
— John 15:13.

The friends thou hast, and their adoption
tried, grapple them to thy soul with hoops
of steel; but do not dull thy palm with
entertainment of each new-hatch'd, un-
fledg'd comrade. — Shakespeare.

There is a destiny that makes us brothers,
none goes his way alone; all that we send
into the lives of others, comes back into
our own. — Edwin Markham.

The only way to have a friend is to be
one. A friend is a person with whom I
may be sincere. Before him I may think
aloud. Happy is the house that shelters a
friend. Let the soul be assured that some-
where in the universe it should rejoin its
friend, and it would be content and cheer-
ful alone for a thousand years. — Ralph
Waldo Emerson.

IN CANAL ZONE

James D. DeMarr of Berwyn, Md., has
been assigned to Headquarters, Sixth
Fighter Wing, Howard Field, Panama Canal
Zone, as Plans and Training Officer. Col.
DeMarr had previously been assigned as
Commanding Officer of the 530th Aircraft
Control and Warning Group, Howard
Field, Canal Zone.

Colonel DeMarr was first commissioned
in June 1930 a second lieutenant, Signal
Corps. In September 1940 he was called
to active duty at Quarry Heights, Canal

Zone and since that time has completed
two tours of duty in this theater. Prior to
that time he was employed by the United
States Govt, in the Canal Zone as a Radio
and Radar Engineer.

A graduate of McKinley Technical High
School, Washington, D. C, in the class of
1926, Col. DeMarr then attended the Uni-
versity of Maryland where he earned a
Bachelor of Science Degree in Electrical
Engineering. He graduated from the Uni-
versity of Maryland in the class of 1930
and in 1933 completed the U. S. Army
Signal School at Fort Monmouth, N. J. A
member of the Institute of Radio Engi-
neers he has been active in the develop-
ment of many changes in radio procedure
and operation.

His wife, the former Miss Stella Boggs
of New Cristobal, C. Z., and his 7-year-old
daughter, Laura Jean are now residing with
the Colonel in Balboa, Canal Zone.

APPRECIATION

Every now and then some appreciative
Maryland graduate waxes reminiscent and
really pays tribute to the University.

J. Slater Davidson, Jr., who played some
lacrosse in 1927 and 1928 on Maryland's
championship teams and is a member of
Sigma Phi Sigma, has been with the Chas.
H. Tompkins Company, Washington, D. C.
engineers, for 18 years.

After leaving Maryland he worked for
four years at Georgetown University. He is
married to the former Lida Moyer and has
two sons, James, 11 and Charles, 7.

During the war his entire time was de-
voted to construction work for the Army at
Fort Belvoir, Va.; Cumberland, Bainbridge,
Md.; Pinto, W. V. and Bogue Field, N. C.
Since the war's end he has been in charge
of such projects as the U. S. Naval Magazine
at Hawkins Point, Md., and Barracks and
Heating Plant construction for the Army in
Washington, D. C.

Upon hearing the observation that "You
certainly benefitted from a sound educa-
tion," Mr. Davidson commented, "I owe it
all to the University of Maryland and Dean
Steinberg. He not only saw to it that I
studied, learned and equipped myself but
he introduced me to Mr. Chas. H. Tomp-
kins for whom I have worked for eighteen
years. I am most grateful to Maryland and
to Dean Steinberg."

BURROUGHS BROTHERS

Graduates of the Law School in 1894, the
Burroughs brothers, George and William
have been in active practice ever since.

They now are members of the firm of
Burroughs, Burroughs, and Bleisch of Ed-
wardsville, 111.

SOUTH AMERICAN FRIEND

From Camaguey, Cuba comes word of
Dr. Jose Grave de Peralta, Jr., '43, who is
practicing medicine in his home country.

Dr. de Peralta, who was graduated from
the medical school in Baltimore, practices
Ophthalmology. He is planning a return
to his alma mater in the near future. He
was a member of Maryland's '38 Varsity
Boxing Team.

BOTH LAWYERS

From Baltimore comes word of Mr. and
Mrs. Morris E. Kerpelman and their family.
Both — she was the former Fannie Kurland
— were graduated in law in 1923.

They have five children ranging in ages
from eight to twenty- two. They are Leon-
ard, 22; J. William, 19; Marjorie C, 17;
H.' Charles, 14; and Larry C, 8.

WEATHER TRAINING

The Army Air Forces has approved and
established a program for training weather
officers at civilian universities. Former of-
ficers who are qualified for this training
may request recall to active duty for the
purpose of attending courses at the Uni-
versity of Chicago, Massachusetts Institute
of Technology, New York University, Cali-
fornia Institute of Technology, and the
University of California at Los Angeles.
Classes will begin at these schools for the
mid-term semesters with additional quotas
for summer and fall semesters planned.

Reserve officers in the grade of major and
below who have completed at least three
years of college work including mathematics
through integral calculus and one year of
college physics and who are physically and
otherwise qualified, are eligible for recall
to active duty for the purpose of attend-
ing weather officer training courses. Former
officers who are not members of the Reserve
Officers Corps and who are qualified for
weather training must first apply for and
receive a Reserve Officer's commission be-
fore they may request recall to active duty
for weather officer training. Reserve officers
of the other arms and services will be
transferred to the Air Reserve upon accept-
ance of recall to active duty for weather
officer training.

Individuals who successfully complete the
prescribed course of weather officer train-
ing at these civilian schools will serve on
active duty as weather officers with the
Air Weather Service of the AAF.

Qualified individuals who desire this
training should forward applications and
transcripts of college credits direct to Chief,
Air Weather Service, Washington 25, D. C.

NEW AIRPORT

Maryland University's Glenn L. Martin
College of Engineering and Aeronautical
Science, already one of the most talked-
about projects in the nation's educational
future, w-ill take on multi-fold proportions
with the construction of the University's
$4,000,000 airport.

Dr. H. C. Byrd revealed plans for the
field last month, cautioning at the same
time that the plans were yet in the "em
bryo stage" and that no date could bt
set for the beginning of the actual con
struction.

IMPORTANT NOTE

The proper and complete presentation of alumni news depends almost entirely upon the interest shown in the publication by the alumni itself.

Alumni are urgently requested to supply the office of publication at College Park with changes of address known to an alumni, news items of general or
personal interest, occupational and professional news items, social news, births, engagements, marriages, deaths.

In these pages alumni news is top priority "MUST" news and the more news received the better the publication will be.

Please accord us your support.

Maryland's airport is not to be just ano-
ther college training field. Designed to
give practical training in all phases of com-
mercial and pleasure aviation, the field will
handle the overflow from the National
Capital Airport, thus providing a readily
accessahle landing field for commercial
flights that get "stacked up" over the
nation's capital.

The airport will be open on a commer-
cial basis to private and commercial avia-
tion and will tie in directly with the aero-
nautical sciences curriculm now being
set up.

The airport will have two main runways,
the longer 6,000 feet and the other 5300.
Both strips are longer than those in opera-
tion in many large cities. At Baltimore's
Municipal Airport the longest runway
measures 4320 feet.

A site now is being sought for the field
and its administration, storage, and me-
chanical buildings. It is planned to con-
struct it partly on land already owned by
the University and partly on land yet to
be acquired.

The go ahead was given to the project
when the Federal Works Administration
approved a grant to the school for that
purpose.

MARYLAND MUSINGS

Land that normally produces less than 30
bushels of wheat or 45 acres of barley will
generally benefit from an application of
nitrogen top dressing.

In the years prior to 1800, ships laden
with tobacco arjd wheat cleared from Bla-
densburg for Liverpool and the West
Indies. After that date, sediment from
Maryland fields began to fill the channel
and the size of ships that could make their
way to the river port became smaller and
smaller. — o—

RURAL WOMEN'S COURSE

The 21st annual Rural Women's Short
Course will be held from June 16 to 21,
Venia M. Kellar, Assistant Director of the
Extension Service, University of Maryland,
announced.

Said Miss Kellar: "This course is de-
signed to offer the women of Maryland
educational, inspirational, and recreational
opportunities. Students are divided into
four groups: those coming for the first
time; those in their second or third year;
and those present for the fourth time and
another group for those attending for the
fifth or more time," Miss Kellar added.
"Persons in each group are offered a choice
of the courses available to that group, but
are required to complete courses in which
they have chosen to register."

Started in 1923, the Rural Women's Short
Course has been offered each year with the
exception of the war years. In that time
it has grown from a rather modest begin-
ning of 223 the first year to a 1946 enroll-
ment of a few over 1000.

Women who complete four of the short
courses are awarded certificates as part of
the final day's program. About 1200 rural
women now hold one of these certificates
and approximately 12,000 women have com-
pleted at least one year's course. Miss
Kellar pointed out that there is to be no
limitation on enrollment this year.

Never argue with a woman.
When she s right she is right;
and when she is wrong she's
peeved.

Believing and practicing the
theory that if the other fellow
can do it, we can, is the solu-
tion to more successes than is
apparent to the casual ob-
server.

MARYLAND MINSTRELS

Knob toed shoes and pegged pants were
the campus fashion rage, the flapper age
was just beginning to poke its frazzled
head into straight-laced postwar America,
and College Park had never heard of the
mass June pilgrimage to Ocean City when
the Kappa Alpha minstrels were inaugu-
rated back in 1921.

This year the '"Cotton Pickers' Minstrels
of 1947" revived a show that had been
absent for three war years, but had in its
colorful twenty-year career become an en-
tertainment tradition on the campus. On
the closing night of the 1947 edition, the
graduates who had taken part in the ear-
lier minstrels were invited back for an
"alumni night," to see their baby recap-
ture its place on the spring calendar.

Tom (Wimp) Orpwood, piano-banging
producer of the 1947 show, credits mob
curiosity with the lasting popularity of a
production that regularly sold out for as
many nights as its backers chose to run.
"The secret has always been to cast as
many campus 'wheels' as possible, and then
everybody comes out to see them make
darn fools of themselves."

In 1925 the minstrels came into its place
on the campus. That year a round-faced,
sweet-voiced girl from nearby Washington
stepped up on the splintery stage and in
one evening established a campus tradition.
Kate Smith went on the bigger shows, but
the KA minstrels have stuck.

On other years the cast of the show
would read like a roll call of Jack Faber's
lacrosse team. Bernie Ulman, Rip Hewitt,
Jack Badenhoop, Leo Mueller, Al Bradley,
Landis Hill, Chick Allen, and Bob Porter,
all appeared in the last few prewar min-
strels.

Since 1933 Flo Small has been a part of
every KA minstrel and was back this year
to help with the reorganization. Vivacious,
talented Flo was graduated in 1937, but
has always come back to College Park about
the time the first rehearsal was getting
underway.

Monroe Leaf, originator of "Ferdinand
the Bull," was a member of the 1927 min-
strels, but this year's producers insist that
their show is in no way to be connected
with the name of the gentleman's most
famous work.

Wimp Orpwood recalls an incident that
is typical of the predicaments in which the
minstrel men often found themselves:

"During the 1941 show I was supposed
to stand up in the middle of the audience
and yell at Emmett Cavanaugh, the master
of ceremonies, 'Kavanaugh, I think the show
is horrible. I don't like the cast. I don't
like the set. And, most of all, I don't
like you!'

"At this point Kavanaugh would pull
out a revolver and fire six blanks at me.
However, on the second night of the show,
somebody forgot to load the gun, and the
result was three deafening clicks.

"Somewhat flustered, Kavanaugh shouted,
'You'll have to drop dead from fright to-
night, Orpwoodl"

"And I almost didl"

Rossborough Inn by the University of
Maryland Alumni Association, June 2,
1939, reads:

"Erected in 1798, in the infancy of the
nation and a few years before the found-
ing of the University of Maryland, the
Rossborough Inn stands as one of the land-
marks of the Nation's and of the Univer-
sity's growth. This historic structure has
been restored by the University of Mary-
land, with the aid of the Federal Govern-
ment, and is dedicated to the spirit of
loyalty and the traditions of democracy as
exemplified in its alumni and students."

Its location then, as it is today, was one
of importance. What is now the Wash-
ington-Baltimore Boulevard was then a
main link on the post road between Wash-
ington, embryonic capital of the nation,
the South, and the young and thriving
cities of Baltimore, Philadelphia, New
York, and Boston.

Near Bladensburg

The old hostelry was only three miles
from Bladensburg, at that time a prosper-
ous seaport on the then broad Anacostia
River.

Construction of the Inn was undertaken
to meet the demand for comfortable lodg-
ing facilities in a period when distances
such as existed between the large cities
along the Atlantic seaboard represented
days and weeks, instead of hours, of travel.

For Exchange of Horses

Records show that the tavern served as
the place for the first exchange of horses
on the route from Alexandria and George-
town to Baltimore and the North. On the
original survey of the plot of the Inn, a
large stable is shown just back of the pres-
ent carriage yard. This building, for land-
scape reasons, has not been restored.

Rossborough, as it stands today, is sub-
stantially as it was when in operation in
the early 1800's. The Inn, as indicated in
an old survey, included a central building,
wings to the north and south, and a struc-
ture to the rear that was
connected to the main estab-
lishment by a portico.

The Inn was popular as a
place of rest for travelers,
and as a social center for
Washington and southern
Maryland.. Undoubtedly
most of the historic charac-
ters of the early days of the
Republic visited the Inn one
time or another.

During its first twenty-six
years of existence the tavern
was widely used and in the
year 1824, it was chosen as
the stopping-place of Gen-
eral Lafayette on his last
visit to America.

The following excerpt
from the "Memoirs of La-
fayette," by Knapp, pub-
lished in 1824, relates:

Historic landmark is proud
old building on modern
campus . . .

Many famous personages
stopped here . . .

"About 9 o'clock, on Tuesday morning
(August 12, 1824), the general and suite
left Rossburg, and proceeded to the Dis-
trict of Columbia, at the line of which he
was met by the Committee on Arrange-
ments from the City of Washington, and
a number of Revolutionary officers, and a
company of Montgomery cavalry."

The account also shows that
Lafayette's son George, his sec-
retary, Colonel La Vasseur, as
well as the official party that
accompanied the general from
Baltimore, spent the night at
the Inn.

President Adams

President John Quincy Adams
in his diary records:

"My son John went out to
Ross's to meet General Lafay-
ette."

General Lafayette

"The Complete History of
Lafayette" gives this version:

"General Lafayette left Balti-
more for Washington, accom-
panied by the mayor, the Com-
mittee on Arrangements, the
aides of the governor, and an
escort of cavalry to Rossburg,
where he lodged on Monday
night, and breakfasted on Tues-
day morning. After which he
was accompanied, and escorted
as before to the District of
Columbia."

Numerous references to the
old Inn during the time of the
War of 1812 and the attack on
Washington by the British are

available in the files of the Maryland His-
torical Society. References indicate that it
was used during this conflict as headquar-
ters for Stansbury's Brigade, and the 5th
Maryland Regiment.

In the early part of the nineteenth cen-
tury, the Inn was operated by John W.
Brown who also drove one of the stage-
coaches operated over the Baltimore and
Washington turnpike by Stockton and
Stokes, a well known stage company of that
day.

Oft Named in History

Numerous accounts are given in the early
social history of Maryland referring to the
old hostelry.

The following is an account of the sport

FIVE "SHOTS" OF OLD ROSSBOROUGH

(Potomac) Pack on the thirtieth of January,

1827:
"Tues. 30th ult. — Met by appointment
at Rossburg where we were joined by
a party of gentlemen from Bladensburg,
with several dogs, making a pack of 35
in number. Rain fell until eleven
o'clock, when the dogs were uncoupled,
and about twenty gentlemen, impa-
tient for the chase, mounted their
horses and took a direction to the
West. Many covers were drawn with-
out finding; at length a fox was un-
kenneled near the Montgomery turn-
pike. He went away for the broken
ground on the northwest — here another
fox was unkenneled and the dogs
divided. One fox, with fourteen dogs
hard at him, made for the covers two
miles down the creek, where he ran in
circles for an hour, after which he
broke away through the estate of Mr.
Diggs and through a part of the Dis-
trict of Columbia, crossing the Balti-
more Road between Washington and
Bladensburg, near the spot . where
Commander Barney was wounded, and
passing the eastern branch on the ice,
was killed in Prince George's County.
Owing to the heavy riding and the bad-
ness of the ground over which he ran,
not a horseman was within eight miles
when the chase ended. The other fox
kept doubling on the broken ground,
occasionally crossing to the pine cover
where the first fox was found. The
writer is not informed of the result
having made the best of his way, at
sundown, to Graeff's where the whole
company was soon reunited in good
time to enjoy the cheerful fire and
cheerful board that awaited us, and
where the evening was spent most

pleasantly in conning over the feats of
the dogs, and the incidents of the day,
enlivened by appropriate songs, and

amongst others by G , in his

best style."

During the Civil War a detachment of
Jubal Early's Conferederate Army camped
at the Inn while attempting to cut off re-
inforcements of the Union Army for the de-
fense of Washington.

When the Maryland Agricultural College
was established by the General Assembly
of Maryland in 1856, the land upon which
the building stands was made a part of the
college.

Chartered In 1856

This college was chartered in 1856, the
second agricultural college in the Western
Hemisphere, and the old Inn was the first
building on the new campus. At the time
of establishment of the college, the Inn
was a part of the Riverdale estate of
Charles B. Calvert, who received it from his
father George. George Calvert gained the
tract through a business transaction in-
volving the Ross Estate, original owners.
Charles Calvert was one of the charter
members of the corporation which operated
the college, and was the president of the
first board of trustees.

The construction of the other buildings
of the new college was begun in 1857 and
the institution was formally opened in 1859.

During the early life of the school, the
Inn served as a residence for the faculty.

Mr. N. B. Worthington, president of the
college from 1864 to 1867, resided in the
building, and other faculty members util-
ized the Inn as a dwelling from time to
time.

A Federal Government act of 1887 esta-
blished the Agricultural Experiment Sta-
tions of the United States, and an appro-
priation of $15,000 annually was made for
their establishment and maintenance.

The Maryland Agricultural College re-
ceived the first Experiment Station to be
established in the United States in 1888,
and the old Inn served as its home. Until
the remodeling of the old tavern in 1938,
huge white letters painted on the ends of
the building proclaimed it as the "Mary-
land Agricultural Experiment Station."

When restoration of the Inn was begun
in September, 1938, with the aid of the
Works Progress Administration of the Fed-
eral Government, the old building did not
have the two wings to the north and south.

The kitchen and servants' quarters in the
rear ell and the main unit of the Inn were
still standing, and in use, but they were in
a very bad state of repair.

These wings were not known to have
existed until an old survey of the property
came to light on which was printed the
plan for each floor of the building. After
finding the prints of this survey, men were
put to work digging to ascertain whether
or not the old foundations existed. It was
found that these foundations were located
on the very places on the survey map, and
the present wings have been constructed on
the same footings on which the original
wings rested.

Legend has it that the bricks for the Inn
were brought as ballast from England on
ships that docked at Bladensburg, but this
is unlikely, just as it is unlikely that bricks
were brought from England for any of the
old buildings for which this is claimed.

The bricks were probably made in the
field almost directly in front of where the

BEFORE AND AFTER

building is constructed, now a part of the
athletic plant. There is evidence that there
was at one time an old brick kiln on that
spot.

The door to the front center portion of
the building is unique.

The keystone in the brick arch over the
door is an interesting and beautiful piece
of workmanship. It is carved out of stone
and represents the head of Silenos, teacher
and trainer of Bacchus, the Greek God of
Wine. Carved in the bottom of the stone
is the trademark of a London manufacturer
of keystones by the name of T. Coade, and
the date 1798.

It is quite possible that the bricks that
form the archway of the door were made
in England along with the keystone. They
exactly fit the archway, and apparently
were especially ground for it.

The Inn contained thirty-one rooms, in-
cluding the quarters of the innkeeper, the
parlors, the tap room, kitchen, and the
servant and guest chambers.

The innkeeper's quarters were in the
north wing, and were not connected by a
doorway with the central portion of the
building.

The main building housed the old tap
room, and the great parlor (on the first
floor); five chambers on the second floor;
and the same number of chambers on the
third.

In the south wing were located a private
dining room, on the ground level, an office,
and three chambers on the second floor.

Kitchen Facilities

Kitchen facilities, and a large dining
room were located on the ground floor of
the rear ell, with six chambers situated on
the second level.

Practically every room had a fireplace in
ii which served as the main source of heat.

As restored the floor plan of the Inn is
just as it was in the days when it was
open for business. However, minor changes,
such as the substituting of baths and
lavatories in the place of some of the small
bedrooms and the revamping of the base-
ment to serve as a recreational lounge, have
been made.

Legends abound concerning the old Inn.
Some claim it is haunted by the ghosts of
former inhabitants. Old negroes, passing it
late at night, tell tales of seeing beautifully

gowned women, and bewigged men dancing
to the strains of weird music.

Another tale pictures the Inn as a place
where murderous deeds took place. Red
spots on the floor of one of the third story
rooms were reputed to be the blood stains
of one of the victims. The refinishing of
the floors, during the restoration, removed
the spots and the old legend has lost its
proof.

The ancient building is surrounded by
an attractive garden with the original well
in the center, a carriage yard, and a front
lawn graced by four huge old English
elms. It is said that these trees were
brought over from England, and planted
in front of the building shortly after it was
erected. The elms, measuring 3 to 4 feet
in diameter, are the only one of the variety
near College Park, and are among the out-
standing trees of the State.

Today, the Rossborough Inn, restored to
its former grandeur, reigns over the campus
of a modern University that has grown
from a few students, housed within the
walls of the old tavern, to a modern, well-
equipped educational plant, numbering its
students by the thousands.

JSot Seeking, g4 Place in the Sun

THANK THE LORD, I AM AN AMERICAN!

ALL of us should turn our thoughts
occasionally to that adventurous
group of our ancestors who set aside a day
each year for Thanksgiving. Anyone who
has stood on the windswept coast at
Plymouth where the hard black granite of
New England yields as slowly to the hoe
and the plow as it does to the restless
beating of a tireless sea, might well ask
why should the Pilgrims have been thank-
ful? On the one side, it was only an ar-
row's flight to a wilderness filled with sav-
ages. On the other, it was three months'
sailing to the comforts of civilization. There
was hunger to the point of starvation. Yet
the humble survivors of both knell and
fervently thanked God. For what? Not for
well-filled cupboards and bursting gran-
aries, but for the courage to face tem-
porary adversity, for confidence in the
future, for faith in ultimate achievement of
the ideals that led them to the New World.

The remembrance of those ragged, hun-
gry colonists devoutly expressing gratitude
because their lives had been spared toward
the achievement of a bright vision, ought
to bring shame to the hearts of presentday
prophets of gloom. There is no doubt that
many of us labor today under a yoke of
hardship. There is unemployment and in-
justice and crime and intolerance and bitter
disappointment and even hunger in
America. The ravages of war abroad have
shaken our hopes. Frustrated by these mis-
fortunes some are ready to curse God and
let the vision die. They clamor for a "new
order," for a new migration to uncharted
political shores — to start all over again
toward human happiness and freedom
under the guidance of ideals radically dif-
ferent from those which inspired our fore-
fathers. Those who take such counsel of
despair would do well to count those bless-
ings already achieved by the American way,
and, without relaxing efforts to wipe out
the causes of misery and suffering which
still oppress us, to hold fast to what has
already been gained.

American Ideals Of Equality

We have many real advantages for which
to be thankful. I thank God I was not
born into a caste system that places one
human being either above or below any
of his fellows: I inherited no aristocratic
rank of duke or lord that entitles me to
special privilege of any sort; nor was I
doomed to serfdom or peasantry by the
accident of birth. It was one of the first
concepts of American government "that all
men are created equal." There may be
some in this country who have assumed
special privilege, but their right to it may
be challenged at any time by anybody.

Free Schools Mean Free People

I thank God for the American schools
that made available to me a share in the
intellectual and cultural heritage of man-
kind. Education has checked and will even-
tually defeat tyranny wherever it manifests
itself in this land. Free schools are the
guarantee of a free people; they are the

cessors Came to This Con-
tinent to Put an Ocean
Between Them and the
Old World's Wars

means whereby every individual may pre-
pare himself for whatever achievement and
service he is capable. Adequate educational
opportunity is now denied millions of
youth, it is true, but a fair start in life for
every child is an American ideal toward
which we have been steadily moving for a
century. All the forces of greed and special
interest will not prevent the full attain-
ment of this ideal.

Freedom Of Occupation

I thank God for American freedom to
earn a living in a job I myself selected.
No social traditions dictated that I should
follow the occupation of my father. No
agency of the state told me where or at
what I must labor. The option was wholly
my own, and I was given abundant oppor-
tunity to prepare for the profession of my
choice. All of us are aware of the fact that
the machine, in combination with eco-
nomic factors, prevents millions of work-
men today from practicing vocations for
which they have trained themselves. Yet
who can doubt that the inventive genius
which created the machine is able to ad-
just the earnings of human livelihood to its
use? Who has reason to believe that the
same genius cannot or will not perfect an
economic system in which honest toil may
win its share of a material abundance that
exceeds anything the world has ever known?

Freedom Of Speech, Assembly, And Press

, I thank God for American rights — for
the right to think; to speak, to write and
*o print what I think; for the right of
peaceable assembly to discuss with my fel-
lows the way out of difficulties which harass
me as an individual or beset us as a people;
for the right to protest and to petition those
in authority for the removal of grievances
?nd of obstacles to the happiness and wel-
fare of my family and my neighbors; for
the right to subscribe to any creed in which
I believe and to worship as seems to me
most fitting. I am grateful for the right to
uncover truth and to proclaim it, even at
the discomfiture of intrenched privilege or
in opposition to stoutly defended party doc-
trine. I am glad to have these rights guar-
anteed to me in the most sacred instru-
ment of our government — the fundamental
law of the land — so they cannot be taken
from me by pretext or annulled at the will
of some dictator. I count it one of the
greatest of blessings that I can exercise
these rights without fear of secret police,
concentration camps, or exile from my
country. I can rest assured that my every

act is not under suspicion. There are no
spies to tap my telephone wires, to see
that my radio is not tuned to forbidden
wave lengths, or that I read only the liter-
ature which has been approved and pre-
scribed for me by those who consider
themselves my superiors.

National Ideals

I am proud to live in a land that dis-
courages discrimination on account of race
or color or political antecedents, and sup-
ports no pretense that a certain shade of
hair or eyes betokens a superman before
whom less favored individuals should bend
the knee. I count it good fortune to live
under a government that exists for me
and my fellow citizens, where no one con-
siders that my only reason for living is to
serve a monster called a "totalitarian
state."

I thank God that the Stars and Stripes
is not a mere battle flag symbolizing mili-
tary conquest over other nations, but that
it signifies every kind of worthy achievement
for which men strive. That bright banner
unites us in common endeavor against mis-
ery and poverty, ignorance and vice, dis-
ease and suffering. Our nation's heroes
include not only its great soldiers, but its
great statesmen, its scientists and teachers,
its artists and craftsmen, its poets and
preachers and philosophers who have served
humanity in its great crises, whether of
bread or of the spirit. The millions of
children in the nation's classrooms who
turn their happy faces toward the flag
every morning pledge allegiance to the law
and order, to the personal integrity, and
to the unselfish service of humanity for
which that banner stands.

Americanism As A Way Of Life

I thank God that my country is not
seeking "a place in the sun"; that it has
no imperialistic ambitions; that its boast
and pride are not the defeat of other na-
tions or the assimilation of other peoples
for its own glory; that it has no "balance
of power" to maintain, no buffer states
to create, and no protectorates over which
to stand guard. We have no duty, real or
pretended, to rescue from the clutches of a
foreign country our own nationals who for
any reason found it more desirable to asso-
ciate with our neighbors than with our-
selves. There is no lost territory to regain
and no desire to enhance our flag by giving
it more soil over which to wave. The
mystic slogan "blood and soil" seems absurd
to us. The essence of Americanism is not
territory. It is a way of life. Plains and
mountains and valleys are only necessary
incidents to its existence. Someone has
ventured to suggest that if the American
people could by some magic be transferred
in a body to some new continent, that new
continent would be America; for the essen-
tials of Americanism are in the hearts and
minds of the people.

However that may be, I thank God, more
than for anything else, that the Pilgrims
and their hardy successors elected to come

to this continent, putting three thousand
miles of Atlantic Ocean between their
descendants and the warring nations of the
Old World. This morning our youth are in
school or at work. Tonight our streets will
be brightly lighted. There will be no
stumbling through darkness, at the sound
of a siren, to bombproof shelters. Our
children have not been transported to
safety schools far from their homes. Our
art treasures are on exhibit in our mu-
seums and public places, and not hidden
in deep vaults. We eat without ration
cards. Our whole lives are not beset with
fear and uncertainty regarding either the
outcome or the purpose of any war that
menaces our existence.

Human Rights Still Sacred

And so, I thank God I'm an American.
All may not be right with America. There
is still with us some of the social injustice
and inequality to the removal of which
we dedicated ourselves as a young nation.
But the fundamental human rights which
are the essence of Americanism are still
held sacred by our people and by our re-
sponsible leaders. We have all and much
more than the Pilgrim fathers expected to
secure for their posterity in the New World.
And as we memorialize their first Thanks-
giving, so devoutly offered because they had
escaped the religious bigotry and interna-
tional jealousies of the Old World, every
one of us can say with even more meaning
and fervor than the Pilgrims said, "Thank
God, I'm an American.

HEIFER PROJECT

The Presbyterian Club, University of
Maryland, started a campus project to pro-
vide a heifer for war-stricken Europe. This
is part of a national campaign to raise
the general living conditions in Europe.

Boxes were placed in various spots around
the campus to take care of contributions.

It is the object of the club to provide
at least one pure-bred heifer which will
cost in the vicinity of $160. Representatives
of the national project distribute the cat-
tle in areas where they are needed most,
and after they are provided by the con-
tributions the national organization will
see that all necessary details such as ship-
ment and feeding will be taken care of.

The heifer project had its beginning in
a city in Southern Spain during the Spanish
Civil War. With the farmers conscripted
and equipment and livestock killed, the
children took the heaviest part of the
burden. To raise the people from starva-
tion diet this project came into being.
To assure a raising of the living standards
of all countries, the project was extended
to the whole of Europe. It is expected
that the heifer provided by the Presby-
terian Club's efforts will be sent to either
Norway or Denmark.

NO RAINLESS REGION

A desert is not a rainless region. There
is no part of the earth's surface without
rainfall, but there are regions very de-
ficient in rainfall. The Mojave desert has
but two inches rain fall a year.

QRCHIDS

FROM Washington, D. C, writes J.
Gibson Wilson, Jr.:

"My wife and I, both former Mary-
landers, enjoy very much this newsy, en-
lightening and very interesting publication.

"The February issue proved especially
interesting to me (Civil Engineering '40).
This magazine should help renew waning
interest in the Alma Mater."

Mrs. John Edward Savage sends congratu-
lations from Baltimore:

"Dr. Savage and I have enjoyed thor-
oughly the three issues of Maryland. It's
a fine magazine and we're delighted that
one has finally been organized that is
worthy of the grand school it represents."

A small bouquet from Elisabeth Eves of
Arlington, Va.:

"The last three issues of the new Mary-
land have been a joy to read."

Patrick Carolan writes from Utica, N. Y.
to express his opinion of the magazine and
to say "Hello" to his alumni friends.

"I'd like to extend my hearty congratula-
tions to all concerned in the publication of
this fine magazine. I wonder if I can utilize
this opportunity to say "Hello" to all my
friends among the students and alumni of
the University."

Elizabeth J. Dennis of Ocean City, Md.
writes:

"Congratulations on such a wonderful
publication to all who are responsible for
it. Best wishes for continued success."

Lois T. Edmonds writes from Silver
Spring, Md.:

"Maryland is a fine magazine, and I
enjoyed the three issues you have sent me.
Congratulations and good luck to your
staff."

From Mount Lebanon, Pa., Ernest Trim-
ble sends his orchids:

"It took a long time, but now all can be
proud of the alumni publication of the
University of Maryland."

Harry Hasslinger writes from nearby
College Park:

"I feel that you are doing a splendid job
with the magazine and that it will do
much to stimulate alumni interest. I am
quite certain that the greater percentage
of the - alumni feel the same."

Charles L. Cogswell writes from Chicago
to pass a bunch of orchids:

"Congratulations on your new magazine.
I think it is the finest thing the University

^ccsp;£

j\,

had done since changing from an Agricul-
ture college to a university. The article by
Lucille Bernard in the January number was
excellent. It looks as though we are going
to have some life in the Alumni Associa-
tion. There is strong evidence of a Marine
Corps hypodermic in the background!"

In Buffalo, N. Y., J. F. Barton finally
was "stirred":

"I suppose it took the agriculture num-
ber to stir me. Congratulations on a grand
job. 'Maryland' is a real magazine befitting
our great institution, the University of
Maryland."

Thomas E. Robertson writes from Silver
Spring:

"May I take this opportunity to congratu-
late you on the magazine. It is what we
have needed for a long time. My best
wishes for a long period of success."

A bulky bouquet comes from Alvin Gold-
berg of Providence, R. I., who was man-
ager of the 1939 championship boxing
team:

"I am looking forward with great interest
to the future issues of Maryland, as the
magazine is a splendid piece of work. You
can count on me for any help needed in
this area as regards the Maryland alumni.

"I also want to extend my congratula-
tions on the successful boxing season. . . .
News of Maryland's victory in the confer-
ence tournament was sweet music to my
ears. The placing of six men in the finals
is certainly a tribute to the coach and to
the boys. Their opponents must have been
supermen to hold them to two titles.

"I shall look forward to their continued
success next year, and I extend my best
wishes for the success of the team and the
fine publication."

N.I. U.N. ASSOCIATION

The National Intercollegiate United Na-
tions Association was formed at the Uni-
versity of Missouri on November 15-16,
1946, by a group of students from various
colleges and universities whose primary
aim was, and is, to foster and promote in-
terest in the United Nations movement.

At the initial meeting of the N. I. U.
N. A., a mock conference was set up, and
the following subjects were discussed:

The Future of the Dardanelles, U. N.
Trusteeship of Existing Colonies, Imple-
menting the U. N. for Future World Peace,
Control of the Atom, The Spanish Question.

Speakers at the conference included Soren
Christian Sommerfelt, attached to the U. N.
Secretariat in New York; and Donald C.
Blaisdell of the State Department, assistant
secretary to the United States Group at
Dumbarton Oakes; technical expert with
the delegation in San Francisco in 1944, and
advisor to Edward R. Stettinius, Jr., former
Secretary of State, in London.

At present, the following colleges and
universities are members of the N. I. U.
N. A.:

Kansas State College, George Washington
University, Stephens College for Women,
University of Missouri, University of Kan-
sas, Christian College for Women, St. Louis
University, University of Kansas City, Uni-
versity of Wichita.

MARKETING TRIALS

Consumers in Baltimore and Washington
are to be given a chance during the com-
ing season to choose between produce as
they usually find it in stores and produce
given special handling to guarantee maxi-
mum freshness.

This was revealed today by H. L. Stier,
head of the marketing department at the
University of Maryland, when he invited
sweet corn growers in areas around Balti-
more and Washington to cooperate with
county agents and his department in stud-
ies similar to those made in markets in
nearby states. In these tests, growers have
picked sweet corn at three o'clock in the
morning and delivered it to stores by the
9:00 a.m. opening time, thus permitting
the city homemaker to buy and serve sweet
corn equal to that available to her country
cousin.

"This procedure has worked out well in
other markets," Stier said, "in fact, records
gathered in Philadelphia show that con-
sumers bought 16 times as much of the
fresh picked corn as they did of corn
handled under normal conditions. They
did so even though the fresh sweet corn
was selling at a 22 cent a dozen premium.

He also stated that similar tests are to be
made during 1947 with other produce such
as tomatoes and peaches, and he cited work
done in another state on peach marketing.
Consumers offered a choice of peaches that
had been picked "green-ripe" and "tree-
ripe," took 30 times more of the tree-
ripened fruit.

"These improved marketing practices will
give the consumer a higher quality product
which has a better flavor," Stier said, "and
will bring the producer a better return
even though his marketing costs will in-
crease. Any growers interested in market-
ing sweet corn or peaches in the 1947 tests
should get in touch with their county
agent."

TOBACCO GROWERS MEET

More than 1000 growers attended the
series of five tobacco meetings last month
to hear discussions on market outlook and
to learn how Kentucky growers have made
as much as a 90-hour cut in the amount
of hand labor required to produce an acre
of tobacco.

Walter B. Posey, tobacco specialist from

the University of Maryland, and John B.
Morsell, former Calvert County Agent, told
growers that stocks of tobacco now in hands
of the manufacturers are the lowest since
1933. They also pointed out that January
first stock estimates showed a reduction of
more than 14 million pounds from a year
ago.

Both speakers stressed the importance of
the high quality of the crop now in barns
and estimated that 85 per cent of it will
go for cigarette tobacco. They said it was
their belief that these factors would more
than offset the size of the crop when mar-
keting time comes.

G. B. Byers, assistant in farm manage-
ment at the University of Kentucky, re-
ported on three years of labor-saving re-
search in that State. He listed ideas and
gadgets developed by growers and the Uni-
versity, but declared that each grower must
decide for himself what improvements can
be made on his farm.

Those in attendance at the meetings had
been shown that 309 hours of man labor is
required to produce an acre of Maryland

tobacco. Byers said that this was about the
same as was required in Kentucky, but that
some growers had been able to cut that by
90 hours by using labor- and time-saving
methods.

He showed pictures to describe methods
by which above-average plant-pullers had
beer* able to more than double their hourly
average and by which above-average pullers
had stepped up production from 1600
plants an hour to more than 2200 per hour.
He also discussed "tricks of the trade" de-
veloped to make plant setting easier and
faster.

"The secret of many of these methods,"
Byers said, "is that a definite pattern of
motion is developed. Each hand has a
definite assignment and there is no waste
motion. Changes in position are included
so that the worker is actually less tired at
the end of the day even though he accom-
plishes a lot more work."

Byers told the group that another big
saving has been made in stripping rooms.
Growers had previously been satisfied if
they averaged 100 pounds a day stripped by
each worker, but new practices, developed
with the aid of slow motion studies of
movies, have brought the average up to
about 45 pounds per hour.

He showed growers from the five-county
area of southern Maryland a model plant-
bed board, a stick sharpener, a model set
of pulleys on which two men can raise
tobacco to the top of the barn, and many
other devices developed to make work faster
and easier.

It is planned that a cooperative study
will be made by the University of Mary-
land and the USD A to find "tricks of the
trade" now in use and to develop new
methods practical in southern Maryland
area.

The meetings were the start-off of a
campaign to increase tobacco production
by about 10 per cent during the coming
year. They were sponsored jointly by the
Extension Service and the Farm Bureaus.

WITH THE GREATEST OF EASE

Gymnastics, Adagio, Tram-
poline, Baton Twirling,
Etc., Taking Hold At
Maryland ....

GYMKANA has come to Maryland.
With all of its grace, strength, and
speed, and its light touches of humor,
the University's newly organized gymnas-
tics troupe has caught the fascination of
the student body and has carried the
activity of the students into neighboring
high schools as a first-class example of

MARYLAND PYRAMIDS

nock and Gloria Myers.

the varied physical and cultural activities
that are a part of life at College Park.

Emphasis in this entertaining show is
on strength, grace, and balance, and the
talents of the troupe stretch into every-
thing from folk dancing to the courage-
challenging teeter board.

David A. Field, a member of the physical
education staff and a specialist in gymnas-
tics, conceived the troupe for the Univer-
sity and has nursed his baby from a
weanling to a point where it is now one
of the most active — and talented — groups
on the campus.

Circus Call Card

A brief survey of the acts included in
the troupe's routine reads like a circus
call card: double and triple balancing acts,
the teeter board, baton twirling, acrobatic
dances, adagio dances, folk dancing, pyra-
mids, special comedy numbers, juggling,
and the trampoline.

During the winter sports season, the
troupe entertained between halves of
basketball games and made several trips
to nearby schools for exhibitions. Plans
for next year include extended activities
and a possible exhibition for interested
alumni.

The group is under the direction of
Mr. Fields and he is ably assisted by
capable student leaders. Arnold Gibbs is
general chairman, Charles Pinckney, men's
manager, Mary Eisman, women's manager,
and Cy Miller, gymnastic manager.

Exercises on the apparatus have a spe-
cial appeal to Miller, Pinckney, Ted Crom,
Bob Phillips, Bill Foland, Frank Bran-
nock, Bill Gaiser, Bill Ernst, and Chuck
Dennis.

Doubles handbalancing finds Murray
McCulloch, Jay Wohlforth, Pat Welty, and
Vivian Walter working to coordinated

their dual routines. Perhaps the out-
standing act thus far is the triple bal-
ancing routine of Brannock, Gibbs, and
Gloria Myers.

The most daring number is that of the
teeter board. Here we find Gibbs, Tom
Tyrrell, Tom Bolgiano, Grady Brafford,
and Bill Ward soaring high in the air.
Ward has just perfected a back somer-
sault through a hoop while Bolgiano has
a back somersault into a chair mounted
on an eight foot pole.

Baton twirling is just beginning and
under the leadership of Bert Williams and
McCulloch it should soon take a leading
role in the troupe's future work. Barbara
McCutcheon and Peg Welty are also put-
ting much effort into their acrobatic
dance.

Adagio

The adagio dance team has been practic-
ing two months and has the possibilities
of being the most sensational of any act
performed by the group. Brannock, Gibbs,
Tyrrell, Will Davis, and Ed Rudiger toss
about the capable Augusta Johnson and
Peggy Marshall. Before long their fifteen
foot pitches into high swans and intricate
catches will be coordinated into one smooth
routine.

ROUGH GOING

Maryland University's basketball team,
was eliminated in the Southern Conference
tournament when, at Durham, they drew
as their first opponents North Carolina
State's championship team composed of
Indiana court stars.

From there the Terp tossers moved up
to Philadelphia in which citv no brotherlv
love was showered upon them as Pennsyl-
vania downed them, 80 to 54.

The principle figure in the debacle was
Chink Crossin, Penn's versatile captain who
tallied 26 points.

Top scorer for Maryland was Tom Mont,
who tallied 14 points. Johnny Edwards
followed with 9.

Maryland was plagued by inaccuracy in
the second half, making only 10 of 51
shots. The Terps tallied only twice on
their first 25 second-half shots. Meanwhile,
Penn hit on 19 of 52 tosses.

In the first half Maryland led three times.
Edwards was first to score. He also tied
the score at 10 — 10 and gave Mont the

opportunity to send Maryland ahead,
12—10.

When Penn rallied to go ahead, 15 — 14,
Don Schuerholz tied the score at 15 — 15
and again at 17 — 17 and finally pushed
Maryland in front, 19 — 18. Then Penn
began to loll and was ahead, 32 — 27 at
halftime.

Bill Brown made the only Maryland
basket in the first five minutes of the
second half when Penn pulled away to a
45 — 29 advantage. When Brown twisted
his left ankle, Maryland lost a valuable
backboard retriever.

Penn built up a 72 — 45 edge as a result
of Crossin's spectacular shooting. He played
the entire game in order to get within
record-breaking distance of the all-time
Penn total of 327 made by Joey Schaaf in
1928.

TARHEELS WIN

North Carolina's swimming team was too
strong for North Carolina State's contin-
gent and scored a smashing 81 — 47 upset
victory in the fourteenth annual Southern
Conference championships. Only two other
teams competed, Duke finishing third with
31 points and V.M.I, fourth with nine
points. Maryland has no swimming team
— yet.

MARYLAND MERMAID

Barbara McCutcheon, University of Maryland div-
ing and swimming star, is also a member of the
gymnastic and adagio group.

Barbara is a senior in the College of Education,
in the Department of Physical Education.

At the recent Junior National Indoor Diving
Championships held in Washington's Ambassador
pool Barbara finished third in the Junior national
event and second in the District of Columbia event.
Adrienne Bassett, New Jersey, won the national
title while another Maryland girl, Jackie Richards
of Takoma Park, Alpha Xi Delta, B.S. in 1946, Col-
lege of Education, Physical Education, won the
District honors.

WYRE NAMED TRAINER

Duke Wyre, a veteran of fifteen years at
the training business, has been hired by
Athletic Director Jim Tatum to look after
the condition of Maryland athletes.

Wyre was assistant trainer at Yale Uni-
versity for fifteen years and moved to Holy
Cross just before the war as head trainer.
He entered the Navy in 1942 for a three-
year tour of duty.

Maj. George M. Bohler, who has been
doubling up as trainer and equipment
manager, will devote his full time to the
latter job.

Wyre will report to College Park on
April 7 after taking the Yale rugby team
on a tour of Bermuda.

MARYLAND GIRLS 50/50

Physical Education majors from Mary-
land were guests of the Women's Recrea-
tion Group of American University for
an afternoon of basketball.

Maryland women cagers played two
games, taking one 31-16 and dropping the
other to American University, 25-22.

Dottie White, largely responsible for
Maryland's win, racked up the highest in-
dividual score with good zone defense set
up by Jean Cory, Marjorie Frederick and
Virginia Nichols. American University's
tall, elusive star forward out-reached and
out-jumped Aimee Loftin, Boots Green-
berg, and Nancy Updike.

MANSKE TO CALIFORNIA

Lynn Waldorf, new head football coach
at the University of California, announced
the signing of assistant coach Edgar "Eggs"
Manske, former end coach at the Univer-
sity of Maryland.

Manske, a 1934 Northwestern graduate,
was an assistant coach at Boston University
in 1935-35. He played professional football
one year with the Philadelphia Eagles and
four years with the Chicago Bears. In 1942
he went to Holy Cross as end coach, and
last season was assistnat coach at the Uni-
versity of Maryland.

MEADE GETS POST

Appointment of Jim Meade, former Uni-
versity of Maryland and Washington Red-
skins football player, as first full-time
executive director of the Prince Georges
County Boys' Club has been announced
by Louis B. Arnold, president.

Recently Mr. Meade has been municipal
recreation director at Havre de Grace.
During the war he served in the South
Pacific as a captain of an Army paratroop
company.

on ships and shore stations throughout the
world are in training for the first post-war
All-Navy Boxing Tournament to be con-
ducted this spring with finals at San Diego,
California, during the week of June 1-7,
1947.

The tournament was abandoned during
the war years. Winners of the 1947 tourna-
ment are expected to compete for places
on the United States Olympic Team which
will participate in the Olympic Games in
London in 1948.

Elimination contests to select 64 finalists
for the All-Navy Boxing Tournament will
be held by various Naval Districts and fleet
commands between now and May 17, 1947.
The contests will be conducted on a single-
elimination basis in eight weight classes,
from flyweight through heavy weight.

The Potomac River Naval Command will
send 8 finalists, one in each class, to Nor-
folk, Virginia, to compete against 8 final-
ists each from the Fifth and Sixth Naval
Districts and the Severn River Naval Com-
mand. The eight winners for this regional
competition will then go to San Diego for
the elimination tournament to be held in
that city.

All non-commissioned personnel of the
Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard, who
qualify as amateurs under the rules of the
Amateur Athletic Union, are eligible to
compete in the tournament. Naval Reserve
personnel on active duty, except in a train-
ing only status, also are authorized to par-

ticipate, but members of Naval Reserve
Officer Training Corps units and Naval
Reserve Units are excluded from partici-
pation.

versity range. Arthur Cook led the Mary-
land team with a 289.

TERP RIFLES WIN

Arthur Cook captured high scoring lau-
rels with a 286 score, as Maryland Univer-
sity riflemen remained unbeaten by down-
ing George Washington University, 1,386 —
1,338, on the Maryland armory range. All
season the Terp riflemen have captured
wins with monotonous regularity.

NATIONAL LACROSSE CHAMPIONS 1937 TERRAPINS

<By. (Bill M^cJbonala

WHEN SPRING first came to College
Park in 1937, Jack Faber, coach of
the Maryland University lacrosse team,
found himself with half a team, a crop of
14-carat headaches, and a batch of fond
memories. Maryland had won the national
championship the year before, but Faber
had seen his defense wrecked by gradua-
tion and thoughts of repeating for the title
were at the time far from the minds of
even the most stubborn Terrapin
supporters.

By the time spring turned into summer
Faber's headaches were gone, he had a
complete lacrosse team, and another batch
of fond memories — Maryland shared the
National Championship with the Princeton
Tigers. The Old Liners bowled over seven
college foes and their two defeats were
administered by the Mt. Washington A.C.
and the Baltimore A.C, perennially two of
of the outstanding clubs in the country.

Faber won this championship the hard
way. Only Oden Bowie, a 1946 reserve,
remained of the last season's rugged de-
fensive combination, so the Terps' mentor
set out to rebuild.

Faber found a diamond in the rough in
Jim Meade, a towering, 190-pound sopho-
more who had written headlines in his first
year on the varsity football team. Meade
continued to write headlines with the
stickers. The Tome School star stepped
into a first string job and in three years
became one of the best defensive men ever
turned out of Maryland. Johnny Page,
another sophomore, and Buddy Yeager, a
senior playing his first year as a regular.

completed the defense and held up under
the fire of the best gunners in collegiate
circles.

What sorrow Faber suffered over his de-
fensive problems was more than compen-
sated for up front where the Old Liners
again fielded one of the most prolific point-
gathering combinations in the country.
Brilliant Charley Ellinger, twice Ail-Ameri-
can and headed that way again, was the
keystone in the attack and caused opposing
defense men more than one moment of
woe. An uncanny shot, Ellinger also was
a bottomless resevoir of set-ups for his
mates and used his combined talents to
Maryland's best advantage.

Bobby Nielson, a sophomore who entered
Maryland with the breath of every lacrosse
coach in the country coursing down his
Manhattan, teamed with Ellinger in the

point-producing business and went in for
it on a wholesale basis. In the Syracuse
game Nielson reached his peak, raining
seven goals into the net. Parker Lindsay,
a junior who played center in 1936, was
shifted to first attack, and Rip Hewitt,
another phenomenal sophomore stepped
into the face-off slot. George Watson han-
dled the second attack, giving Maryland a
lethal offense.

If opposing teams thought they had the
Liners throttled when they tied up thai
quintet, then they reckoned without
Meade. Using his bullet-like shot from
behind a screen of Maryland players, the
big soph moved into the scoring parade
often enough to keep the enemy's goalie
miserable. Newspaper writers caught the
fever and soon named this combination
"Maryland's six-man attack."

With the exception of the Mt. Wash-
ington and Baltimore A.C. defeats, Mary-
land's attack rolled along at will and it
was only Faber's choice to substitute freely
that kept the scores to respectable figures.
Retention of the national championship
hinged on the ever-bothersome contests
with Navy and John's Hopkins and the
Marylanders took these powers in stride,
whipping Navy in the rain at Annapolis,
6-2, and then outscoring Hopkins in Balti-
more, 9-6, and sewing up the second in
their string of four championships.

in Denver. But his grandchildren like
him. Up on Cape Cod Doc's house has

evening before Christmas his grandkids
were looking out of the bay window — the

they saw the Simpson's next store drag-
ging in a bulky object through the snow.
"Look, Gramp," chortled one of the kid-

The Terrapin Tells The King!

And We're Telling Maryland Alumni

ONCE upon a time, a long, long time ago, when the ani-
mals still ruled the world and human beings had not yet
made a mess of it, the Lion, King of the animals, called a con-
vention of all the beasts of the field.

The King announced, "For ages animals have destroyed each
other. The tiger kills the deer. The leopard pounces upon
the wart hog. The fox annihilates the rabbit — if he can
catch him."

"What do you say," continued King Leo, "if we call an
armistice for about a month just as a try out. During that
month no animal has another for breakfast. The Fox and the

Rooster will be pals. The Lion will lie down with the Lamb.
We'll publish the order on all bulletin boards so everybody
will know the score. No more of this killing each other. What
do you say?"

All the animals nodded, growled or roared agreement. All
but one. All except the Terrapin. He'd been around a long
time and he had learned that you get in trouble only when
you stick your neck out and that you never learn anything
except when you do stick your neck out.

"But," replied the Terp, "are you sure this will work out.
You know. King, no matter how well organized an outfit is
there is always some fellow ifho doesn't net the word!"

BUSINESS AND PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION

College Is Combine Of
Former College Of Com-
merce And Departments
Of Economics And Com-
merce, formerly in the
College of Arts and Sci-
ences . . .

THE PRESENT College of Business and
Public Administration is an outgrowth
of the former College of Commerce. This
College was formed by converting the De-
partments of Economics and Commerce,
formerly in the College of Arts and Sci-
ences, into an integral Division of the Uni-
versity with a status similar to that of
other Colleges on the campus. The Col-
lege of Commerce was established in 1938;
it was admitted to membership in the
American Association of Collegiate Schools
of Business in 1940.

Name Changed

The name of the College was changed
to the College of Business and Public Ad-
ministration in 1942. This change in name
was made so as to more nearly express
the educational objectives of the curricu-
lums offered in the College. In order to
meet the expanding needs and to facilitate
more effective training and education along

the lines of the major objec-
tives of the College, a new de-
partment — Geography — was
added to that of Economics and
Business Administration in
1942; the Bureau of Business
and Economic Research was
established in 1945; and the
Department of Political Science
was transferred from the Col-
lege of Arts and Sciences to the
College of Business and Public
Administration in 1946. The
name of this department was
changed to Government and
Politics in order to reflect more
accurately the change of em-
phasis contemplated in making
the new alignment.

Registration Grows

The registration in the col-
lege has grown tremendously
since the end of world hostili-
ties. The largest pre-war registration was
415 students. During the war period the
enrollment fell to 158 in the fall of 1944.
During the autumn semester of 1946 the
registration in the college was 1329, includ-
ing 37 graduate students. In addition, 2201
students, registered in other colleges on the
campus, were attending College of Business
and Public Administration classes. The
registration in the College for the winter
semester 1947, increased to 1437 excluding
graduate students. Present applications and
inquiries indi-
cate that the
registration for
the fall semes-
ter of 1947 will
bring an appre-
ciable increase
over the present
enrollment. Our
major problem
at present is to
find adequate
space to meet
this great de-
mand. There is
urgent need for
a new building
for the College
of Business and
Public Admin-
istration.

The College,
as now organ-
ized, comprises
two major sec-
tions, viz, Busi-
ness Admini-
stration and
World Econom-
ics and Public
Affairs. Each
section has de-
partments as
indicated below.

Scientific Administrative Training

The College of Business and Public Ad-
ministration offers training designed to pre-
pare young men and women for service in
business firms, governmental agencies, coop-
erative enterprises, labor unions, small busi-
ness units, and other organizations requir-
ing effective training in administrative
skills and techniques, and for the teaching
of business subjects and economics in high
schools and colleges. It supplies scientific
administrative training to students and
prospective executives on a professional
basis comparable to university training in
the other professional fields. Administra-

tion is regarded as a profession, and the
College of Business and Public Administra-
tion prepares its students for this profes-
sion by offering courses in instruction which
present general principles and techniques
of management and administration and
bring together in systematic form the ex-
periences and practices of business firms
and governmental units. This plan of
education does not displace practical ex-
perience, but supplements and strengthens
it by shortening the period of apprentice-
ship otherwise necessary, and by giving a
broad and practical knowledge of the
major principles, policies, and methods of
administration.
The Field Of Business Administration

The aim of the college is to present and
illustrate such sound principles of man-
agement as are applicable to both big busi-
ness and small business. Large-scale busi-
ness, because of its possible economies will
be expanded in some industries under cer-
tain well-known conditions. There are, on
the other hand, industries and many situa-
tions which still call for the small business.
If these small-scale enterprises are to be
operated with profit to the owners and
with satisfactory and economical service to
the public, it is imperative that authentic
principles of administration be applied to
them. Sound prinicples of ethical conduct
are emphasized at all times throughout the
various courses.

The primary objective of collegiate edu-
cation for government and business service
is to train for effective management. The
College of Business and Public Administra-
tion, University of Maryland, was estab-
lished to supply effective training in ad-
ministration to the young men and women
whose task will be the guiding of the more
complex business enterprises and govern-
mental units resulting from industrial,
social and political development and expan-
sion. This statement does not mean that
the graduate may expect to secure a major
executive position upon graduation. He
will, on the contrary, usually be required
to start near the well publicized "bottom
of the ladder" and work his way up
through a number of minor positions. He
will, however, be able to move up at a
faster rate if he has taken full advantage
of the opportunities offered by the college
in developing his talents and in acquiring
technical and professional information,
point of view, skills, and techniques.

The manager or administrator in modern

business enterprises and governmental units
and agencies should have a clear under-
standing of:

(a) the business organizations and in-
stitutions which comprise the modern busi-
ness world;

(b) the political, social, and economic
forces which tend to limit or to promote
the free exercise of his activities; and

(c) the basic principles which underlie
the efficient organization and administra-
tion of a business or governmental enter-
prise.

In addition, the executive or the pros-
pective executive should:

(a) be able to express his thoughts and
ideas in correct and concise English;

(b) have a knowledge of the funda-
mental principles of mathematics and the
basic sciences, such as physics, chemistry,
biology, and geography;

(c) have a knowledge of the develop-
ment of modern civilization through a
study of history, government, economics
and other social science subjects;

(d) have a sympathetic understanding of
people gained through a study of psycho-
logy, sociology, and philosophy.

Must Be Skilled

If the executive is to be successful in
solving current business and governmental
problems, he should be skilled in the
scientific method of collecting, analyzing,
and classifying pertinent facts in the most
significant manner, and then, on the basis
of these facts, be able to draw sound con-
clusions and to formulate general princi-
ples which may be used to guide his pres-
ent and future administrative conduct. In
other words, probably the most important
qualities in a successful executive are:

(a) the ability to arrive at sound judg-
ments;

(b) the capacity to formulate effective
plans and policies, and the imagination
and ability to devise organizations, meth-
ods, and procedures for executing them.

The programs of study in the College of
Business and Public Administration are so
arranged as to facilitate concentrations
according to the major functions of busi-
ness organizations. This plan is not, how-
ever, based on the assumption that these
major divisions are independent units, but
rather that each is closely related and de-
pendent on the others. Every student,
therefore, is required to complete satis-
factorily a minimum number of required
basic subjects in economics and in each of

the major functional fields. Each graduate
upon completion of the requirements for
the bachelor's degree finds himself well
grounded in the theory and practice of
administration. There are five commonly
recognized major business functions, viz.:
production, marketing, finance, labor rela-
tions, and control.

The function of control may be thought
of as comprising two sectors, viz: internal
and external. Internal control has to do
with men, materials, and operations. Ex-
ternal control is secured through the force
of customs, public opinion, and law, and
court, board and commission decisions.
Management endeavors to make adequate
adjustments to these forces. Courses in law
and public administration, for example, aid
in giving the student an understanding of
the problems, devices, and methods of ex-
ternal or "social" control.
The Field Of Public Administration

The trend toward increased governmen-
tal participation in the fields of our eco-
nomic, political, and social life has been
developing for a number of years but more
rapidly in some countries than others. The
growth was pronounced in European coun-
tries during the twenties, it grew rapidly
in the United States during the thirties
and World War II. Thousands of men and
women are now employed in developing
organizations, evaluating policies, and de-
vising methods and procedures for admin-
istering and supervising the manifold gov-
ernmental activities required in the far-
flung scheme of economic and social
control. Our government, for example, has
now become the largest "business" enter-
prise in the country. The gigantic task of
organization, management and control was
undertaken before an adequately qualified
personnel could be selected and properly
trained. Federal, State, and Local Govern-
ments have called upon the universities to
aid in training young men and women for
effective public service. Graduates who are
mentally alert, can think clearly, form
critical judgments, express their thoughts
and conclusions succinctly, have a well-
balanced mind and who possess a profes-
sional point of view with reference to their
work, are needed in a number of govern-
ment divisions.

The curriculum in Public Administra-
tion is designed primarily to aid in the
preparation of young men and women for
technical, supervisory, and managerial
positions in the various state and federal

services. The particular selections of sub-
jects in any individual case will depend
on the specific position for which the stu-
dent wishes to prepare. The full course
resources of the University are available
for this training. Courses, for example, in
foreign languages, geography, history, phi-
losophy, and government, as well as studies
in social, legal, political, and economic in-
stitutions may be advisable in addition to
the required courses in Business and Public
Administration.

Properly qualified graduates can usually
find emplovment in the field of their major
interest. Large numbers of people trained
in such technical fields as statistics, account-
ing, finance, personnel, marketing and
transportation are employed by govern-
mental agencies. There is a need for
people trained and interested in the vari-
ous aspects of research in the social science
and business administration fields. Gradu-
ates fitted by nature and equipped through
proper training and experience for the
broader fields of administration and man-
agement can find interesting work in gov-
ernmental units and at the same time
satisfy their normal desire to render a
special service to society.

Some of the governmental agencies which
employ college trained people are given as
an illustration of the opportunities avail-
able. Many of these are within the "Civil
Service" System. Such federal agencies as
the Social Security Board, Central Statis-
tical Board, Federal Trade Commissions,
National Resources Committee, Federal
Housing Administration, Federal Reserve
Board, Reconstruction Finance Corpora-
tion, Tennessee Valley Corporation, Bureau
of Agricultural Economics, Bureau of Labor
Statistics, Bureau of the Census, Bureau of
Foreign and Domestic Commerce, and the
Division of Research and Statistics in the
Treasury Department require the services
of many professionally and technically
trained people. The Departments of Agri-
culture, Commerce, State, Labor and Treas-
ury use many college trained men and
women.

MARYLAND'S LOCAL GOVERNMENT REFORM

THE progress of local government re-
form in Maryland has not been great
in recent years. There is, however, a
marked trend in the direction of improved
local government. This trend is attributa-
ble in part, but by no means entirely, to
a disposition evidenced by the Depart-
ment of Government and Politics of the
University of Maryland to offer its services,
in consultation and survey, to local gov-
ernmental units.

Maryland local government has been
traditionally dependent upon the State
legislature for organization and authoriza-
tion. The General Assembly in 1914 pro-
posed an amendment, which was later
adopted, granting to the counties and to
Baltimore City the right to establish their
own charters. For its time, over thirty
years ago, this was a very liberal authori-
zation for the counties. At that time, how-
ever, most states had gone much further
in granting home rule to cities.

The Voters Decide

As yet, no county has availed itself com-
pletely of the privileges extended under
the amendment. Two counties have taken
steps, however, in the direction of the
adoption of home rule charters. The
amendment itself provides for extensive
delay in the process of effecting home
rule. The voters decide at a regular elec-
tion whether they desire the creation of
a charter board. At this election also the
voters select members for the charter
board. At the next congressional election,
the product of the charter board's labors
is submitted to the voters.

Montgomerv Conntv in 1938 requested
the Brookings Institution to survey the
county's government. This survey was
made, and the report on it was published
in book form in 1941. In 1942, a charter
board was approved and chosen. The new
charter which it proposed was defeated in
1944. In 1946 the charter group won a
decisive victory. It is assumed that the
group will again propose a reorganized
government for Montgomery County.

Requested Survey

Wicomico County is also contemplating
governmental reforms. The County Board
requested a survey of the county's govern-
ment by the National Municipal League.
The report on this survey has been de-
livered to the Board. There is definite
prospect that a charter board may be voted
upon in 1948. Then by 1950 the county
government could be reconstituted. The
Department of Government and Politics
has served as consultant to the Wicomico
County Board in minor respects.

The county government of Anne Arun-
del County has had introduced in the
1947 Legislature a bill granting to the
county authority to employ a "County
Business Manager." This official would
be vested with very broad powers. He
would serve at the discretion of the County
Board. This reform would in effect give
the County a manager system. In seeking
special legislation to permit the employ-

ment of a manager, Anne Arundel County
is ignoring the constitutional authoriza-
tion for home rule charters.

The City of Baltimore has been more
active in availing itself of the advantages
of local charter amendment. The home
rule amendment does not give the city a
general area within which it may control
its own affairs. All it reallv has is the

right to amend its charter. Its charter
actions can at any time be set aside by
action of the General Assembly.

In Hagerstown

No other Maryland cities have home
rule. The move for municipal reform,
however, has reached considerable propor-
tions in Hagerstown, Cumberland, and
Salisbury. The Mayor of Hagerstown in
the spring of 1946 appointed a charter
committee under the chairmanship of
William Preston Lane. The Department
of Government and Politics of the Uni-
versity of Maryland was requested to make
a survey of Hagerstown's government. The
report on this survey was published in
September, 1946, under the title Improving
the Government of Hagerstown. The
Charter Committee thereafter met and de-
liberated on the recommendations of the
report.* The charter committee then re-
ported to the Mayor and was discharged.

The Mayor requested the Department of
Government and Politics to prepare a pre-
liminary draft of a new charter. The De-
partment prepared this draft charter and

presented it to the Mayor and the City
Attorney. These two officials reworked
the tentative draft and presented it at a
public gathering attended by charter com-
mittee members, city councilors, city offi-
cials, legislators, representatives from the
Department of Government and Politics,
and other interested persons. The pro-
posed new charter was then introduced in
the Maryland Legislature. This charter
provides for charter amendments within
the city itself. Thus amendments to the
charter may be proposed by the city coun-
cil, by popular petition, and by a charter
commission. When approved by the voters,
such amendments will have the force of
law.
In Cumberland

Last fall the Mayor and Council of
Cumberland requested the Department of
Government and Politics to make a survey
of Cumberland government comparable to
that for Hagerstown. The survey was
made, and published in April, 1947, under
the title Improving the Government of
Cumberland.

City officials and others in Cumberland
are seeking the establishment of a charter
commission to draft a new charter for
the City. The ten members of the com-
mission will be elected in the spring of
1948. They will report a new charter to
the people one year later. The Charter
Commission is authorized to determine its
own cost, which the city council is re-
quired to pay, and city officials are for-
bidden to be members of the charter com-
mission.
In Salisbury

In Salisbury, a charter committee ap-
pointed by the Mayor has been active
for the past several months in preparing
a new charter. This charter committee
has had little if any connection with the
county group. The Department of Gov-
ernment and Politics has not been asso-
ciated with the Salisbury Committee in
its labors.

The Department of Government and
Politics has had relations with other local
governments within the State. This con-
tact has been mainly in the direction of
consultation and of talks to luncheon clubs
and chamber of commerce groups on gov-
ernmental problems. The services of the
Department are available without charge
to local government officials throughout
the State.

APPLE PRINCESS

Beauty and smartness counted most
when University of Maryland students
picked Miss Marilyn Beissig of Floral
Park, Long Island, to represent them at
the twentieth annual Shenandoah Apple
Blossom festival at Winchester, Va.

Miss Beissig was one of the princesses
in the festival queen's court. She is a
junior in the College of Education and as
proof that she's the apple of more than
one eye, she also is president of Sigma
Kappa sorority.

REORGANIZATION OF THE CONGRESS

CLASHES in Congress over procedure
under the well-publicized Reorganiza-
tion Act of 1946 are evidences anew that
the American method of making law is
subject to study and growth. Legislation
and administration are twin mechanisms
in government. The one is formulation,
the other execution, of public policy. Both
are indispensable to the democratic pro-
cess, in which lawmaker and administrator
must be subject to popular will.

The Federal Constitution vests "all legis-
lative powers ... in a Congress. . . ."
Does that language mean that Congress
should not delegate lawmaking power to
administrative agencies? Or does it merely
mean that an agency like O.P.A. or
N.L.R.B. must be subject ultimately to
Congressional control?

Not A New Doctrine

The doctrine that legislatures ought to
confine themselves to ultimate responsi-
bility is expressed by some administrators
and others who would trust the experience
and policy-continuity of a strong executive.
It is not a new doctrine. It was stated
with a clarity startling to American minds
by John Stuart Mill in his Considerations
on Representative Government (1861). He
asserted, as our early national experience
had taught, that representative assemblies
cannot properly execute the laws. "But it
is equally true," Mill wrote, "though only
of late and slowly beginning to be acknowl-
edged, that a numerous assembly is as little
fitted for the direct business of legislation
as for that of administration." In Mill's
opinion laws should be drafted by a small
commission appointed by the executive.
The legislature, while authorized to sug-
gest bills, would have only the power to
enact, reject, or remit for further consid-
eration. "The proper office of a representa-
tive assembly," he thought, "is to watch
and control the government. . . ."

Some Quotations

Members of Congress, regardless of poli-
tical or economic viewpoint, have usually
feared rather than applauded the admitted
progress of such views. In the course of
testimony before the joint Committee on
the Organization of Congress, Representa-
tive Jerry Voorhis of California (defeated
for re-election in 1946) said: "I doubt that
more than a mere handful of Americans
would favor such a course for our country's
government. It means a gradual growth
of a type of government which the whole
tradition of our country is against. . . .
Congress has to a considerable extent per-
mitted itself to become absorbed in . . .
routine matters and has thus largely ab-
dicated its most essential function, namely,
that of devising on its own motion long-
range legislative programs geared to the
necessities of the times." Replied Repre-
sentative E. E. Cox of Georgia: "You have
been classified as an ultra progressive and
I as a mossback reactionary, and still there
is not the slightest difference between my
views and the statement you make."

JSy. Jranklin <£. (Buraette

Associate Professor of Government and Politics

Both Woodrow Wilson and Lord Bryce,
more than a half-century ago, pointed out
that the internal organization of Congress
is peculiarly designed to discourage the
formulation of broad, co-ordinated govern-
mental policies. Congress is charged with
wider duties, and is more distinctly sepa-
rated from the executive, than any other
major legislature in the world.

Relying heavily upon its own resources,
Congress has divided its labors among
standing committees in each house. Im-
portant legislatures abroad, depending on
guidance from the executive — indeed, con-
structing the real executive or ministry
virtually as a committee of the parliament
— have never utilized standing committees
to the degree known in America.

Destroys Unity

The committee system, developed early
in the past century, has tended to destroy
the unity of Congress. Conflicting jurisdic-
tions of committees — "little legislatures" as
they have been called — have time and
again stood in the way of general legisla-
tive plans for national policy. The party
caucus, which declined as a result of its
many arbitrary characteristics, had the ad-
vantage of providing a form of unity. In
the House today the Rules Committee,
with all its power to determine the order
of business, cannot plan effectively a posi-
tive program.

FRANKLIN L. BURDETTE

Associate Professor of Government and Politics

Passage of the Legislative Reorganization
Act under the leadership of Senator La
Follette and Representative Monroney was
an indication of concern in Congress over
the dilemma. Faced with an undeniable
need for broad plans and at the same time
with administrative readiness to provide
them, Congress could act or reconcile itself
to a permanent decline in prestige.

The new law reduces committees in the
House from 48 to 19 and in the Senate
from 33 to 15. It defines their jurisdic-
tions, limits the number on which mem-
bers may serve, authorizes larger staffs, and
adds to their investigatory powers. Revenue
and appropriations committees are directed
to cooperate in recommending the Federal
budget. The Act provides for expansion
of legislative reference and bill drafting
services. It requires the registration of
lobbyists. Congress is relieved of much
detail by the substitution of administra-
tive or judicial procedures for private bills
concerning pensions, tort claims, bridges,
or correction of military or naval records.
Congressional salaries are increased and
members are made eligible for an excep-
tionally generous contributory retirement
system.

Various Functions

Congress not only makes laws; it super-
vises adminstration and controls expendi-
ture. The power to investigate, to obtain
information from every possible source, is
indispensable to all three functions.

As it passed the Senate, the Reorganiza-
tion Act prohibited special committees,
contemplating investigations only by the
standing committees to which legislation
is regularly referred. The leadership of the
House insisted on eliminating this restric-
tive provision as a condition for favorable
consideration of the measure. The Senate
position was based on the view that special
investigations duplicate the work of stand-
ing committees which must hold hearings
again if specific legislation is proposed;
that special committees lack continuity and
understanding; that the efficiency of legis-
lators and administrators is impaired by
frequent and repetitious hearings; and that
more dependable information can be ob-
tained by standing committees with the in-
creased powers and larger staffs provided
by the reorganization.

Special Committees

In re-establishing two special Senate
committees in the 80th Congress (to inves-
tigate the national defense program and
to study the problems of small business),
Republican leaders insisted in the face of
prolonged opposition that the earlier Sen-
ate attitude on the subject should not deter
continuing these investigations in their
original manner.

Special investigations have had great ad-
vantages in the past, and not all of those
advantages are preserved in the recent
strengthening of standing committees. The
special committee has been able to cut
across the jurisdictional limits of the stand-

ing committees. More important, it is pos-
sible to obtain information by special in-
vestigation when standing committees
through partisanship or inertia are reluc-
tant to act. Effective investigations are
dependent on interested, able personnel,
and men competent to ferret out hidden
conditions are not always assigned to the
appropriate standing committees.

A suggestion by Senator Tydings of Mary-
land has merit in tending to combine the ad-
vantages of special and standing committees
in investigations. Legislators not members
of a particular standing committee might
be given special, non-voting status in the
committee for the purpose of advocating
and perhaps conducting an investigation.

Freedom of debate in the Senate is a
factor in investigations which is not to be
overlooked. The privilege of any member
to express his views at length may well
force a majority to permit an investigation
which a few Senators regard as essential.
The advantages in freedom of debate can
be retained without permitting extended
filibusters.

Important Beginning

The Legislative Reorganization Act is an
important beginning in Congressional self-
examination and improvement. The new
law does not deal with the troublesome
question of committee assignments by sen-
iority of service, a matter about which there
is little agreement in Congress. The power
of the Rules Committee in the House and
the perennial issue of Senate filibustering
are other untouched problems.

The Senate version of the bill contem-
plated majority and minority policy com-
mittees in each House. Moreover, a joint
legislative-executive council was planned, to
consist of the majority policy committees
(with the minority invited on some occa-
sions), the President, and members of the
Cabinet. These are the most important
provisions which were rejected by the
House leadership. Majority and minority
policy committees, however, have been
created in the Senate of the present
Congress.

Development of a truly co-operative re-
lationship between Congress and the ex-
ecutive is the crux of the problem of long-
range legislative reorganization. Congress is
properly restive under a feeling that major
policies will be evolved without its knowl-
edge or consent; administrators are rightly
apprehensive that decisions will be reached
without benefit of counsel from the offices
which must apply them.

Tremendous Possibilities

The legislative-executive council, firmly
institutionalized and adequately staffed,
offers tremendous possibilities for lifting
Congress above the compartmentalization
which has been the by-product of its com-
mittee system. It is significant that the
principle of such a council is now employed
in one form or another in twelve states.
From the point of view of the executive,
such a council would afford a regular,
rather than an intermittent, flow of advice
and information from sources both elective
and appointive. The actions of the council
would of course be only recommendations
for Congressional consideration. But they
would carry the weight and prestige of
majority participation.

While popular government thrives on
discussion, it makes progress through sound
principles of organization. The future role
of legislatures in our system hangs more
critically in the balance than the more
firmly settled places of the executive and
judiciary. The decay of legislatures abroad
has marked the rise of dictatorships. But
the strength of democracy as we know it is
in representative assemblies.

Beta Alpha Psi, the National Account-
ing Fraternity, is the only "profes-
sional" (as distinguished from "honorary")
fraternity affiliated with the College of
Business and Public Administration of the
University of Maryland. Beta Alpha Psi
has the additional distinction of being the
only collegiate accounting organization rec-
ognized by the two national societies of
professional accountants, the American In-
stitute of Accountants and the American
Accounting Association. The fraternity also
has established excellent relations with the
National Association of Cost Accountants
and the various state organizations of cer-
tified public accountants.

Beta Alpha Psi was founded at the Uni-
versity of Illinois in 1919, and Tau Chap-
ter was established at the University of
Maryland on May 18, 1936 principally
through the efforts of S. M. Wedel^erg.
Professor of Accounting, who was initiated
into the fraternity when he was an under-
graduate at the University of Washington
(Seattle, Washington). Although the fra-
ternity is run "by undergraduates, for un-
dergraduates," in order to lend continuity
to chapter activities the national constitu-
tion requires that each chapter elect a
member of the accounting faculty to serve
as chapter "permanent vice-president."
Professor Wedeberg served in this capacity
from the date of establishment of Tau
Chapter until 1942 when he was ordered
to active duty in the Army Air Corps. It
was largely through his efforts that the
chapter developed into the strong organiza-
tion that it is today.

Membership in Beta Alpha Psi is open
to any male student in the College of
Business and Public Administration who
meets the following requirements:

(a) He must be majoring in accoun-
tancy;

(b) He must have an average grade of
"B" in all accounting subjects taken;

(d) He must have, in the opinion of
the members of the chapter, those personal
attributes (honesty, integrity, professional
bearing, etc.) which are prerequisites for
success as a professional accountant; and

(e) He must pass a special "examination
in accountancy and related subjects which
examination is prepared, conducted and
graded by the members of the fraternity.

The candidate for membership is also re-
quired to submit a paper on a subject of
current interest to accountants, and, at the
time of initiation, he must lead a discus-
sion on the selected subject.

Since the establishment of the chapter
at the University of Maryland over one
hundred undergraduates (including the
current undergraduate membership of
nineteen) have been initiated. A number
of practicing accountants, prominent in the
profession in the State of Maryland, have
also been elected to honorary membership
in Tau Chapter. Current information con-
cerning some of the alumni members of
Beta Alpha Psi is reported elsewhere in
this issue of Maryland. Despite the facts
that the oldest of the alumni were gradu-
ated only eleven years ago and that the
majority gave three to five years of their
lives in the service of their country, the
alumni have established an enviable rec-
ord of service to the State of Maryland, to
the Nation and to the profession of ac-
countancy. Tau Chapter of Beta Alpha Psi
is proud of this record!

PI SIGMA ALPHA

National Honorary Political Science Fraternity

(By Srene Spring., Secretary

A LPHA Zeta chapter of Pi Sigma Alpha,
£\_ national honorary political science
fraternity, was founded at the University
of Maryland in 1938. The Chapter was
active in the years prior to 1941; during
the war, membership slackened and the
chapter became inactive. With the initia-
tion of new members, the chapter is
strengthening itself in order to promote
discussion and professional distinction for
outstanding students of political science
and to achieve the ultimate goal of better
government and more intelligent citizenry.
Admission is based on honor work in the
Department of Government and Politics,
with acceptable work in all other subjects.

The chapter recently initiated eight stu-
dent members: Margaret R. Hughes, Eliza-
beth H. Lipp, William L. Rigoli, Barbara
A. Skinner, Louise Stephenson, Reuben
Sternfeld, Phyllis G. Wherley, and Irene
Sprung. Faculty members initiated were:
Mr. Peter J. Turano, Mr. Robert G. Dixon.
Mr. Edward S. Marshall, and Mr. Edmund
C. Gass. Faculty members reorganizing the
group are Dr. Joseph M. Ray, Dr. R. G.
Steinmeyer, Dr. Franklin L. Burdette (Na-
tional Secretary-Treasurer), Dr. Clifford R.
Rader, and Mr. William N. Rairigh.

The initiation was held at the home
of Dr. R. G. Steinmeyer, and dinner was
served in honor of the occasion. Dr. John
W. Manning, of American University, Na-
tional President of Pi Sigma Alpha, was
present to conduct the initiation and to
tell new members about the organization.
Elections were held and the fraternity
will be under the guidance of the follow-
ing officers: William L. Rigoli, President;
Reuben Sternfeld, Vice President; Irene
Sprung, Secretary; Dr. Clifford R. Rader,,
Treasurer; and Dr. R. G. Steinmeyer,
Faculty Adviser.

Pi Sigma Alpha was founded in 1920
at the University of Texas. Thirty-four
chapters are located in representative col-
leges and universities. Membership has
become not only an honor to college stu-
dents, but also a professional distinction.

PREPARING FOR INDUSTRIAL

MANAGEMENT

IN THIS postwar period there are few
fields of endeavor that offer more op-
portunities than industrial management.
During the three-year war period when
cost was no object, factories came out with
more radically new products than they had
in the previous thirty. Today the immedi-
ate challenge to industrial managers is to
produce for an impatient public the bene-
fits of these great strides in technology, in
quantity at a price the public can afford
to pay.

No Rule Of Thumb

Successful industrial management is not
based upon trial and error, rule of thumb,
tradition, or hunches. The problems are
too difficult and mistakes too costly for
such methods. Rather it is based upon the
application of broad and tested principles.
No matter what the character of the manu-
facturing process, production always re-
quires certain common means. In addition
to raw materials there must be workmen
to carry on the operations, tools and ma-
chines to aid the workers, power to drive
the equipment, buildings to house the op-
erations — and managers to supervise the
utilization of the faculties in the produc-
tion of goods. Management plans, organ-
izes, commands, controls, and coordinates
the factors of production. Its main tool
is "Scientific Management."

Industrial management requires a broad
basic training based primarily on eco-
nomics and supported by accounting, fin-
ance, marketing, psychology, and some of
the engineering sciences. One of the prin-
cipal reasons why large companies scout
the colleges each year is because they are
looking for potential executive material
that has the broad perspective.

Starting Career

The college graduate who has majored
in industrial management courses usually
starts his industrial career doing time and
motion study work, or job analyses, or
holding a minor supervisory position in the
shop. His accomplishments there are fairly
easily measurable. Any outstanding work
in methods improvement, cost reduction,
fitting men and jobs, or handling men
moves him forward on the arduous journey
toward such positions as staff officer, per-
sonnel director, or works manager.

In order to prepare students who wish
to enter the field of industrial manage-
ment, the College of Business and Public
Administration requires them to study Eco-
nomics, History, Accounting, Organization
and Control, Marketing, Personnel Manage-
ment, Industrial Management, and other
courses found to be necessary to the success-
ful graduate. The program is being aug-
mented by the following courses:

Motion Economy and Time Study
Production Planning and Control
Job Evaluation and Merit Rating
Problems of Supervision
Theory of Organization
Trends in Management.
The courses in Motion Economy and
Time Study, Production Planning and Con-

Based Upon The Application
Of Broad And Tested
Principles . . .

(By William jf. M-cj£arney

Associate Professor of Industrial Management
trol, Job Evaluation and Merit Rating are
designed to aid the student to get a foot-
hold in industry after he graduates. Prob-
lems of Supervision, a case study course,
is designed to aid the student to solve
problems relating to difficulties with sub-
ordinates, associates, and superiors — how to
get along with people in the industrial
environment. The courses entitled Theory
of Organization and Trends in Manage-
ment are on a graduate level and deal with
fundamental issues.

Since the average student comes to col-
lege with little or no industrial background,
he often finds it difficult' to get the true
perspective of industrial problems. Field
trips, visual aids, and case studies are used
to make him better acquainted with in-
dustry.

New Type Needed

Professor Mayo of the Harvard Graduate
School of Business says "Modern industry
is greatly in need of a new type of admini-
strator who can, metaphorically speaking,
stand outside the situation he is studying.
The administrator of the future must be
able to understand human-social facts for
what they actually are, unfettered by his
own emotion and prejudice. He cannot
achieve this ability except by careful train-
ing — a training that must include knowl-
edge of the relevant technical skills, of the
systematic ordering of operations, and the
organization of cooperation."

The College of Business and Public Ad-
ministration is doing its part to help ful-
fill this need.

"the National Accounting Fraternity," gave
their lives for their country. Richard
Henderson McCAFFREY, B.S. 1937, died in
line of duty on December 7, 1943 as a
result of an explosion which occurred two
days earlier while he was engaged as a

the service, Lieutenant McCaffrey sold ac-
counting machines for the International
Business Machines Corporation. Norman
P. ROSENFIELD was declared dead after
having been missing in action with the
15th Air Force in Italy. He was a navi-
gator of a B-17 and failed to return to
his base after a mission on November 11,
1944. Robert Hunter THOMPSON, B.S.
1938, passed away in March 1944. He was
on active duty as an Ensign (Supply
Corps) USNR. Gino VALENTI, B. S. 1941,
was killed in action in Normandy while
serving as a Lieutenant with an infantry
unit.

A survey of Beta Alpha Psi alumni was
recently made in connection with the
preparation of a revised national directory.
The following information taken from the
results of the survey will be of interest
to many of the recent graduates of the
College of Business and Public Admin-

countancy but hopes that he is giving "a
good accounting for the Big Boss." Until
1940 Rev. Ackerman was an accountant
for the National Biscuit Company.

Bert ANSPON, B. S. 1941, is a senior
credit analyst for the American National
Bank, Chicago, Illinois. Bert formerly was
an assistant auditor for the International
Harvester Company. While serving as a
First Lieutenant in the Quartermaster
Corps he was officially commended by Lt.
General Larkin for control activities at
Jeffersonville Q.M. Depot.

Hubert K. ARNOLD, B.A. 1935, is prac-
ticing law in Hyattsville, Maryland. He
is a member of the bar of Maryland and
New York and served as a major in the
Air Corps in the Carribbean and Pacific
areas.

ment specialist, and, at the time of separa-
tion from the service, he held the rank of
Lt. Commander.

Brian M. BENSON, B.A. 1937, is audi-
tor for the Department of Education, State
of Maryland. Brian, who served in the
Navy in the Pacific, is a Certified Public
Accountant (Maryland). He lives at 1515
Stonewood Road, Baltimore.

Charles L. BENTON. Jr. is Comptroller

Dr. R. G. Steinmeyer, University of

and relations, spoke at a meeting of the
Crestwood Citizens' Association, Washing-

international situations.

Despairing of a general lack of faith in
the United Nations, he charged that, if
there were any faith or trust felt by the
nations for the U. N., they would not feel
the need of extraneous pacts or alliances
outside the international organization.

"This is no new fault," he declared.
"This is merely a repetition of the First
World War and the League of Nations,
with Molotov playing the role of Bis-
marck."

A NEW PROFESSION OF ADMINISTRATION

WHETHER we agree with Dr. Lowell,
former president of Harvard Univer-
sity, that business is the oldest of the arts
and the youngest of the professions, or ac-
cept Dr. Flexner's opinion that business is
not a profession and never was an art, we
may agree that business executives would
administer their respective firms and de-
partments more satisfactorily if they were
properly trained. It is evident that a large
number of young men and women desire
to enter the field of administration and
that an increasingly large number of busi-
ness and government leaders wish to secure
replacements for their ranks from college
graduates.

Qualifications Needed

The more important executive positions
in business and government require men
trained in thinking in terms of modern-
administrative problems. The young busi-
ness and government executives of the pres-
ent and of the future must not only possess
a comprehensive and intimate grasp of the
meaning of detail, but they must be able
also to look beyond and through the detail
to the broader principles as they affect all
business policies, organizations, and prac-
tices. They must be able to look to the
future as well as to the present, and be
mentally alert so as to anticipate and pre-
pare for approaching changes in social,
political, and economic conditions.

A part of the training for executive posi-
tions is provided in the grade and high
schools; a more specialized form may be
given in colleges; another portion should
be received on the job. We are more con-
cerned at the moment about that part of
the training which may be received at the
college level.

What Is "Business"?

Perhaps before we proceed further we
should answer the question, What is meant
by the term "business"? I know of no better
definition than that submitted a few years
ago by an outstanding leader in the field
of education for business:

Business is a pecuniary scheme of grati-
fying human wants, and, properly un-
derstood, falls little short of being as
broad, as inclusive, as life itself, in its
motives, aspirations, and social obliga-
tions. It falls little short of being as
broad as all science in its techniques.

If we accept this statement we are forced
to the inevitable conclusion that collegiate
training is desirable, as follows: on a broad
basis in the fields of the natural sciences,
government and politics, economics, and
law; and, more detailed, in the administra-
tive aspects of production, marketing, fin-
ance, and labor; and finally in the effective
utilization of the tools and techniques of
internal executive control. Recent changes
in social, political, and economic conditions
throughout the world have created a need,
as never before, for broadminded and well-
trained managerial talent. A nation whose
very existence depends upon industry must
have thoughtful and skillful administrative

ministrative Leadership Is

leadership. The sad results of inability and
indifference in business and government
administration are so much in evidence at
the present time that little argument is
needed to convince any serious minded per-
son of the necessity for expert management
— for the professionalization of the art and
the science of administration.

Doubtless we should next establish a com-
mon understanding as to what is meant by
the term profession. The idea we have in
mind is well expressed by the eminent
English educator, Dr. James A. Bowie, in
the following words:

What are the distinguishing marks of
a profession? In the first place, it must
be an occupation demanding attain-
ments in special knowledge, as distinct
from mere knack or skill, and that
knowledge must be classified and on
record, and must require continuous
study for its attainment. In the second
place, it must possess a technique of
utilization to practical affairs, as dis-
tinct from mere study and research. But
a vocation may possess these qualities
and still lack professional status. A pro-
fession implies a sense of group soli-
darity, the establishment of a code of
ethics and etiquette, a requirement of
special training and a test of fitness,
the free and open imparting of new
knowledge to the group, and a motive
of service to the community.

Human Relations

The emphasis placed on the philosophy
and the technique of organization and op-
eration by scientific management, the new
study of human relations in business and
government, the organization of business
and government operations on a functional
basis, the growing consciousness of social
problems, and the trend toward separation
of management from ownership, all lead
toward the belief that the practice of ad-
ministration can be professionalized. If it
can be professionalized it is believed that
it can be taught. The general principles
of production, marketing, finance, human
relations, transportation, insurance, real es-
tate practice, and executive control can be
and are being taught in collegiate schools
of business. Experience, which is an essen-
tial complement to education in the prin-
ciples of management, should be secured
on the job through some form of purpose-
ful internship. Managing a business enter-
prise, whether private or public, requires
as high a degree of intelligence and as
careful training as any of the universally
recognized professions.

The colleges of business administration
can make a worthwhile contribution to the
profession of management if they succeed
in developing a philosophy and a tech-
nique of administration. The curriculum
should be constructed around a hub of
essential social, governmental, economic and
business facts and principles. The pros-
pective administrator or manager should
profit from an understanding of the social
significance of past and present political
and economic organizations, policies, and
practices. These should not, however, be
studied in an unrelated manner to underly-
ing hypotheses and theories. These abstrac-
tions should be tested constantly against
the realities of economic facts. Safeguards
must be established so as to prevent the
hoped-for professional educational program
from degenerating into a mere vocational
curriculum.

Continual Test

Our educational objectives should not be-
come crystallized. They must be continually
tested, evaluated and revised. Our cur-
riculum must then be so adapted as to aid
the student in attaining the objectives in
the most effective manner. Our methods of
operating the curriculum will need to be
changed accordingly so that it can lead the
student to the established objectives.

Education and training alone do not, of
course, insure success in this new profes-
sion. Certain personal qualities, such as
native intelligence, common sense, imagina-
tion, resourcefulness, honesty, reliability,
courage, perseverance, and the ability to
work and get along with other people are
likewise necessary.

The students, however, are entitled to
expect the collegiate schools of administra-
tion to aid them in preparing themselves
for useful lives; to guide them in thinking
in terms of their own times; and to assist
them in developing their inherent mental
aptitudes and powers.

No Bag Of Tricks

The curriculum in Administration should
not be regarded as a means of securing a
bag of executive tricks or as a short road
to a set of cut and dried methods. The
aim is to produce potential business and
public leaders with broad interests rather
than highly technical specialists — men
trained to discover administrative problems
and who are able to apply accepted scien-
tific method to their solution. The stu-
dent should be led to cultivate his ability
to collect pertinent business facts, analyze
them conscientiously, interpret them hon-
estly, and to draw his conclusions there-
from in a strictly unbiased manner. He
should be led to develop the habit of or-
derly thinking, suspended judgment, and a
detached and impartial attitude toward all
problems; to search for causes and to estab-
lish the relation between cause and result;
and to develop the ability to formulate
sound principles of organization, policies,
and procedure.

MARYLAND'S DEPARTMENT OF GEOGRAPHY

THE DEPARTMENT of Geography
combines teaching with research, and
is concerned particularly with the natural
resources of the world in relation to popu-
lation trends.

The teaching comprises an elementary
course in economic geography dealing with
the major commodities of the world, the
regions of their production and consump-
tion, and resultant trade routes and means
of transportation; also the physical factors,
(climate, land surface and soils) and the
human factors which have determined the
location of these producing and consuming
regions. This course is required of all fresh-
men in the College of Business and Public
Administration. These number at present
about 1000.

More advanced courses are offered in the
regional geography of the United States
and Canada (taught by O. E. Baker); of
Latin America (by Raymond E. Crist); of
Eastern and Southern Asia (by C. Y. Hu
and S. T. Lee); and of Western and South-
ern Europe and Africa (by William Van
Royen). These courses include a presenta-
tion of the basic physical conditions in
these regions, the agriculture, manufactur-
ing, commerce, communication, education,
and population trends. Each of these
courses is taught by a professor who has
travelled and lived in the region for some
time, speaks the language, or languages,
has had considerable business experience
in the region, has published significant
geographic studies, and is an effective
teacher. It is hoped that, before long, it
may be possible to find a person who can
give courses on the resources, natural and
human, of the United Socialist Soviet Re-
publics.

Army Cooperation

The Department of Geography, in coop-
eration with the Army Map Service, is
offering several courses in Cartography
(map making)--both elementary and
advanced. These courses are offered at the

The World Atlases

The research work of the Department of
Geography is concentrating on the prepa-
ration of a series of atlases presenting the
physical resources and the economic de-
velopment of the various regions of the
world in as much detail as the statistical
material and costs of publication permit.
The first atlas, which is well toward com-
pletion, will be entitled, "The Atlas of the
World's Resources." It is intended for use
in colleges and universities, commercial con-
cerns and government agencies. This atlas
will comprise generalized maps showing
the climatic, land surface and soil condi-
tions in the various parts of the world,
the areas of production of each agricul-
tural and mineral product, and an estimate
of the mineral reserves. Explanatory and
descriptive text will accompany the maps.
This publication is a revision and enlarge-
ment of the "Geography of the World's
Agriculture," by Finch and Baker, pub-
lished by the United States Department
of Agriculture in 1918. This "Atlas of the
World's Resources" is being prepared in
cooperation with the United States Depart-
ment of Agriculture, particularly the Bu-
reau of Agricultural Economics, and in col-
laboration with the Bureau of Mines, of
the United States Department of Interior.
All members of the Department of Geo-
graphy are working on it, including a num-
ber of research assistants and graduate
students. The work is in charge of Dr.
William Van Royen.

The Atlas Of China

The second atlas in preparation is the
"Atlas of China." This work was started
a year ago by Professor Huan Yong Hu,

years, two experienced research assistants
have worked in the libraries of Washington
and New York City, and in governmental
agencies, assembling facts and figures. A
statistical clerk, aided by graduate stu-
dents, is converting these figures into usa-
ble form. These data include statistics by
the smallest statistical unit relating to the
acreage and production of crops, the num-
ber and kind of livestock, and land utiliza-
tion. Climatic and soil data are also being
assembled in detail, likewise statistics of
population — including birth and death
rates, migration, rural-urban and interna-
tional, and changes in the number of
people. A draftsman and several student
half-time draftsmen are now preparing
maps and graphs based on these data.

The population of the world has in-
creased three-fold in the past 200 years —
several times more than in all the centuries
preceding — and is pressing upon the nat-
ural resources with a wide range of sev-
erity, varying not only with the ratio of
resources to population, but also with the
stage of scientific and technical develop-
ment and with the degree of economic
and social culture which the people have

attained. The great basic problems of the
world lie in the relation of people to re-
sources. The situation is constantly chang-
ing because of increasingly great differ-
ences between nations in birth and death
rates and resultant changes in population,
as well as differing rates of scientific prog-
ress and advance in technique of resource
utilization.

As it becomes possible to extend the
application of modern techniques to the
exploitation of the as yet largely untouched
riches of the tropical zone there may be
a rapid population increase in the tropical
areas, with resultant widening of markets
for middle-latitude products. This de-
velopment would be greatly facilitated by
the application of those mechanical and
scientific techniques which aid man in
increasing his productive capacity. But
certain cultural lags must be overcome;
for example, social and economic systems,
such as the great landed estate and the
plantation, should be modified in such a
way as to leave no ceiling on the hopes,
and aspirations of the common man or on
his ability to increase his productive ca-
pacity and thereby the economic basis of
his existence. These modifications must
include the accumulation of capital in

TRAINING FOR AIRPORT MANAGERS

AIRPORTS

National Airport, Washington, D. C.

Baltimore Airport, Airview of Ultimate Layout

A GREAT many people are much con-
cerned with the necessity of our having
adequate airports in the future; airports
that are better and safer under all weather
conditions and for all purposes than we
have ever had before; airports that are
properly located in relation to the com-
munities served; airports having the proper
lengths and number of runways with neces-
sary zoning restrictions in the airport
vicinity. Much thought has been given to
all these points and many plans have
been laid to bring them about. There
is still, however, one laggard field to which
attention has not been given to the extent
it deserves; one aspect of the whole air-
port picture which if neglected any longer
may nullify much of the planning intended
to provide adequate airport services to the
traveling public and flyers of all types.
This is the matter of airport management
and its professional development.

New Business

Airport management, as a business, is
fairly new. It has come into being
abruptly, just as have other aspects of air
transportation. But airport management
has rapidly developed into a complex and
highly diverse profession even though,
due to its over-night development, few
of our present-day airport managers have
been trained for their duties prior to as-
suming their positions. In fact, such
training except in the school of experi-
ence, has not been available. They are,
therefore, frequently hard put to keep up
with their rapidly expanding responsibili-
ties and duties.

The danger today is that airports them-
selves may be developed so rapidly that
we will find ourselves without managerial
ability to handle them after they are
built. We may find a lack of people know-
ing anything about airport management,

Will Convert The "Busi-
ness" Of Airport Manage-
ment To A "Profession"

the running of airports which must con-
tinue long after the engineers who planned
and built them have finished their tasks.
As air transportation grows, more and
more people will realize that the airport is
the basic unit supporting the entire air
network. There will be no private flying,

JOHN H. FREDERICK

Professor of Transportation and Foreign Trade

there can be no commercial air transporta-
tion without adequate airports. There
will be no development of passenger trans-
portation, no growth of air cargo trans-
portation without airports. There must
be at least one airport for each large
town and several at many cities.

There are thousands of towns and cities
interested in having airports so their citi-
zens may be able to use air transportation.
These communities do not always under-
stand that an airport is a service institu-
tion; that it is a congregating point for
air commerce; that it takes real manage-
ment ability to run it; they still think of
an airport as a landing field. But small
and large towns must look on their air-
ports as municipal service organizations.

Expansion Due

Under present airport building plans of
the Federal government and many states
there will be an expansion of airport
services in nearly every town of sufficient
size to warrant such a facility. But who
is going to run these airports? What are
the services that are going to be made
available? What is the trend in airport
management? What are the duties of air-
port management? Very few people seem
to know.

Here is where the need for training
comes in. Training and experience will
convert the business of airport manage-
ment into the profession of airport man-
agement. We can have professionalization
of airport management just exactly the
way we have had professionalization of
many of the other fields of management
and business activity if we begin without
delay to educate and train for airport
management.

Municipalities and others interested in
airport development must select airport
managers and the other personnel con-

cerned with such activities with care, with
as much care as one would use in the
selection of the proper type motor for
an aircraft. Right now there are far too
many "pedal pushers" attempting to op-
erate airports. Some of these are hope-
lessly unfitted for the task even though
they may be excellent flyers. Others with
no desire to be airport managers have
been forced into such positions in order
to protect other interests either as opera-
tors or flyers. Also, unfortunately, we
have too many "has beens" politically
catapulted into airport managerial posi-
tions as party favors, perhaps, with no
other qualifications than an interest in
aviation and a few flight hours.

Good Business Man

Admittedly, it is well for the airport
manager to be a flyer, but it is even more
important that he be a good business man.
It is not likely that a pilot who is a poor
business man will learn to be adept at
management or develop business acumen.
In the first place, his primary interest will
not be in the development of the airport
as a going, paying enterprise. He will
not be interested in unwinding managerial
problems, in selling service, in merchan-
dising his airport facilities, in building a
business. He will be content solely with
the operational problems pertaining to
flying. Is a man trained to make decisions
at the controls of a plane necessarily well
fitted to deal with personnel problems
that arise in a large staff; or making con-
tracts and leases; or as a coordinator be-
tween the various governmental agencies
and as the representative of his com-
munity? Probably not, but even a com-
paratively small airport presents these
very problems and sometimes without very
much advance notice. This is why pro-
fessional training for airport managers will
become of increasing importance.

Course Underway

At the University of Maryland a course
in Airport Management is now under way.
It is not a course in airport engineering
but is just what its name implies — a course
to train future airport managers. It is part
of the course in business and public ad-
ministration and is available in the senior
year after the students have received a
good foundation in various business sub-
jects. The following main topics are those
covered because every airport manager
should be familiar with them:

The airport as a service organization
and its place in a community.
The duties of airport management
Airport Organization
Accounting control and financing
Budgeting
Purchasing
Structure and plant
Business ethics and the attitude of air-
port managers toward the public
Fire and accident prevention
Insurance

Legal obligations, rights and restrictions
Advertising and business promotion
Engineering and maintenance
Traffic control and communications
Civil Aeronautics Administration regula-
tions

Relations with airlines
Anything a University can do to develop
people for airport managerial work so

that they can go into established organi-
zations and start to work will be back-
ground training they will not have to get
in a harder school. The next step will
be training within the profession. No
school can take away the need for a young
man to acquire training under an experi-
enced airport manager. We can't turn
out people from a University and say:
"These people are ready to be airport
managers." But we can do the background
work so they can be taken — with con-
siderable knowledge of airport manage-
ment at their command — and be put to
work. We can no longer leave it all to
the tell and show method, not if airport
management is to be known as a profes-
sion and the tremendous investment in air-
port facilities is to be used most effectively.

TAXI SERVICE

Along with the go-carts, washlines, and
apartment houses that have become a part
of postwar College Park, falls the newest
business enterprise undertaken by a Uni-
versity of Maryland Student — a student
owned and operated taxi service.

Hewitt G. Robinson of Chevy Chase,
Maryland, is the aggressive business man
who now is driving his way through
college.

The ratio of students to taxi cabs at
College Park is 7000 to one, a fact which
makes the president of "Your Cab Com-
pany" very pleased with prospects for
expansion.

A senior in the College of Chemical
Engineering, Robinson financed his busi-
ness with money earned working in a
gasoline station and driving other per-

sons' cabs, a job that is directly responsible
for his establishing Your Cab Service. "The
company I worked for told me I'd never
make a cab driver," grins the happy cabby,
"so I just thought I'd show them!"

Robinson plans to use the business as
a means of helping others through college
and will employ only students, preferably
veterans, as assistant drivers. He now has
one helper, Jim Ryan, a physical educa-
tion major from Baltimore.

Most of the business comes in the form
of packed runs to nearby theaters, mid-
night snack delivery to dorms and frat
houses, and a special shoppers' service for
College Park housewives.

About the future? "If business picks up
the way I think it is going to, I'll hang
the engineering diploma in the cab and
keep on driving!"

SIEBENEICHEN CONDUCTS

Maryland's 50-piece band, under the di-
rection of Harold C. Yeager, conducted the
first of its season concerts in the Coliseum
on April 2.

M/Sgt. Otto Siebeneichen, for 18 years
director of the band, returned to the
campus as guest conductor. Sergeant Sei-
beneichen retired as bandmaster at the
close of the 1946 spring term, at the age
of seventy-one.

INTERNATIONAL COMMERCIAL POLICY

IN THE onrush of dramatic military,
diplomatic and political events it is
not generally recognized that our inter-
national commercial policy confronts us
as an immediate problem of great sig-
nificance. Nor can the scope and com-
plexity of this problem be readily com-
prehended, involving as it does not merely
the re-construction of the pre-war trade
channels but the much larger one of
building the foundation upon which the
countries of the world may create a greatly
expanded foreign trade.

While it is obvious that this is vital to
other nations which must obtain the raw
materials and capital goods necessary for
the rebuilding of disrupted industries and
the reconverting of war-economies to
peace-time operation, it is not equally
apparent that the expansion of world
trade is of paramount concern to the
United States.

Enormous Expansion

At least two reasons, however, for this
concern may be indicated by the econ-
omist. First, we have brought about dur-
ing recent years enormous expansion of
industries essential to the prosecution of
the war. Despite the fact that the dis-
mantlement of many of the war plants
has already occurred, and is continuing, a
serious surplus capacity problem still re-
mains in certain industries.

An expanded foreign demand will, of
course, absorb some of the excess output
of these industries; and this demand will
have greater importance to us in stabiliz-
ing our employment market if, and when,
an industrial recession eventuates. Sec-
ondly, the rapid exploitation and deple-
tion of our domestic deposits of basic raw
materials, particularly in the minerals
field, require an increasing inflow of such
materials if we are to retain reserves in
the form of domestic stockpiles and de-
posits sufficient for national defense, to
say nothing of industrial prosperity. In
this connection one may point out that on
the basis of the 1935-1939 average annual
rate of consumption, our known com-
mercial reserves of the following vital
minerals will be exhausted: copper, 34
years; zinc, 19 years; lead, 12 years; high-
grade bauxite (the raw material necessary
for aluminum production), 9 years; and
mercury, 3 years.

Tremendous Importance

Needless to say these minerals are of
inestimable importance inasmuch as there
are no known effective substitutes for them
in the production of strategic war-materials
or the vast number of consumer's goods.
Considerations of both national defense
and national income, therefore, are at one
and the same time involved. An inter-
national commercial policy must be con-
ducive to an uninterrupted inflow of these
and other commodities in a growing vol-
ume. In this connection it must be borne
in mind that we are totally dependent
upon imports for many absolutely essen-

tial materials, such as tin, mica, asbestos,
magnesium, chromite, nickel, and indus-
trial diamonds.

More difficult to define is the nature
of the problem with which we are now
faced in creating the structure prerequi-
site for an expanded world trade. That
problem is not a unitary one; rather it
has become one of a complex character.
In fact, as conceived by the United States
Department of State in its recent docu-
ment, "Suggested Charter for an Inter-
national Trade Organization of the United
Nations," international commercial policy
is but one aspect of the general problem
which includes the fields of "employ-
ment," "restrictive business practices," and
"intergovernmental commodity arrange-
ments."

Complex Questions

Complex as is the formulation of our
international commercial policy, concerned
as it must be with such matters as tariff
schedules, quantitative restrictions and ex-
change controls, subsidies and state trading,
this policy must cope at the same time
with the equally complex questions of
employment, cartels, and commodity agree-
ments; they should not be treated as
separate and unrelated questions but as
inseparable parts of an integrated whole.

Furthermore, our international com-
mercial policy must necessarily be inter-

Head, Department of Economics

woven with the economic pattern of our
past and present program. Nevertheless
the collaboration with other nations which
we are now about to undertake consti-
tutes a new stage, and a departure, in the
development of our commercial policy.

The first stage of our commercial policy
was one marked in its beginning by the
first tariff act of 1789. Tariff acts fol-
lowed in rapid succession, culminating
with the Hawley-Smoot Act in 1930, after
26 Congressional enactments. It is of in-
terest to note that during this period of
158 years our tariff laws have had an
average life of about six years; and they
have resulted in the extension of govern-
mental protectionism over much of our
industrial structure. Apropos of this, it
may be pointed out that our first tariff
act was one with specific duties on merely
some 30 products and ad valorem treat-
ment of a very limited schedule with a
general average estimated at only 81/2
per cent.

Sharp Contrast

In sharp contrast our last tariff law
(that of 1930) has a general average ad
valorem rate of approximately 40 per cent
(which elevated it about one-fifth above
the Act of 1922 which it replaced) and
is inclusive of an extremely broad base of
dutiable items, classified within a compre-
hensive network of 15 separate schedules.

The arguments in our Congressional de-
bates which have been employed to sup-
port this American policy is quite fa-
miliar to all. No governmental contro-
versies have been more avidly participated
in by the legislators or pursued more
keenly by the people. The consequent
Congressional policy therefore reflected not
only the action and reaction of public
demands, political expediency, and re-
gional sectionalism but also the economic
nationalism of a dynamic nation.

Political and social considerations were
undoubtedly of equal weight with eco-
nomic and industrial factors. Nor is this
situation unique to our American Con-
gress; it has also been true of European
parliaments, although possible to a some-
what less degree in view of the greater
responsiveness of our Congress to the de-
mands and counter-demands of American
democracy. Our commercial policy in this
first stage of its development cannot be
appraised, as has so frequently been done
by both the economist and the layman, on
economic grounds alone.

The second stage of our commercial
policy was instituted with the enactment
of the Reciprocal Trade Agreements Act
of 1934. The Act authorized the Presi-
dent to conclude trade agreements with
foreign countries under which the Ameri-
can duties could be reduced by not more
than 50 per cent of the existing rates.
While the original law was limited to 3
years, it has been repeatedly renewed.

Comes Up In '48

It will be up for Congressional action
again on June 12, 1948. The last renewal,
in fact, extended the authority of the
President by enabling him to reduce duty
rates by not more than 50 per cent of
those in effect on January 1, 1945; whereas
under the earlier version of the Act he was
limited to the sa">" r>prcentaee reduction
based upon the 1934 level of duties.

Under the operation of this law, the
United States has up to the present time
concluded trade agreements with 30 for-
eign countries, as well as having nego-
tiated a second agreement (with Canada)
and three supplementary agreements (one
with Canada, and two with Cuba). Other
general results may be briefly stated. Some-
what more than 1000 reductions of in-
dividual duties have been granted by the
United States. On the other hand, from
the foreign countries with which agree-
ments have been negotiated we have re-
ceived substantially less reductions.

In assessing the real significance of the
reciprocal trade agreements program, er-
roneous conclusions have again been
drawn. It has frequently been advanced
in advocacy of the trade agreements pro-
gram, even by those speaking with the
highest official authority, that the annual
average for the 2 years, 1938 and 1939,
as compared with the average for the 2
years, 1934 and 1935, shows that the
United States exports to trade agreement
countries increased 63 per cent as against
an increase of only 32 per cent in exports
to non-agreement countries; and compara-
ble percentage increases of imports were
27 and 12'/2 per cent respectively. In
spite of the persuasiveness of these figures,
it requires very little critical analysis to
demonstrate that they lend themselves to
specious reasoning.

Program's Real Significance

Interesting as these statistical data are
from certain points of view, they do not
provide an index of the economic sig-
nificance of the program. Rather that
significance is to be found in the fact that
after a century and a half of tariff legisla-
tion by the Congress, the formulation of
our commercial policy is being surrendered
to the procedure of Executive agreement
and proclamation without Senatorial or
Congressional sanction. Singularly enough,
this fact which is at least of great po-
tential significance has escaped the general
discussion essential for considered approval
or disapproval by the public. Whether
the transition from the legislative pro-
cedure to that of administrative agreements
is desirable or not is quite another issue,
but the fact that it has occurred and
carries with it economic consequences of
a nation-wide and generalized character
should be fully recognized by the public.
While discussing the related issue of the
general American treaty-making process,
President Dickey of Dartmouth College
has recently stated the problem in these
words, "During the first 150 years of our
national history our major foreign policies
were unilateral in form, negative or merely
declaratory in character and restrictive in
scope. Today they are dominantly co-
operative, i.e., contractual in form and
involve positive undertakings as to men
and treasure."

Ill

The third stage of our international
commercial policy is about to be inaugu-
rated. At the London meetings of the
Preparatory Committee of the Economic
and Social Council of the United Nations
Organization, held from October 15 to
November 26, 1946, the United States De-
partment of State submitted to 18 foreign
countries its "Proposed Charter for an
International Trade Organization." At
these preliminary meetings agreement was
reached with respect to certain funda-
mental propositions. Five basic problems
were explored and it was agreed that their
solution required joint action.

These included: domestic employment
policy and international trade policy, in-
dustrial development of backward areas,
supervision of intergovernmental com-
modity agreements, curbing international
combines and cartels, and, finally, the re-
duction of barriers to trade, inclusive of
tariffs and other restrictions.

Representatives of these nations are as-
sembling in Geneva this month (April)
to undertake joint action in this very wide
field of economic operation. With par-
ticular reference to international com-
mercial policy, our Government has set
forth its tentative agreement with the
basic principles that members of the pro-
posed International Trade Organization
should enter into reciprocal and mutually
advantageous negotiations directed to the
substantial reduction of import and ex-
port duties. Together with this central
point of agreement, a large number of re-
lated points were also agreed upon at the
London preliminary meeting. The Geneva
conference is intended to give effect to
these preliminary agreements.

International Trade Organization

At this conference, the American-spon-
sored program resolves itself into two
parts: (1) the completion of the draft of
a charter establishing common principles
of world trade policy and the creation of
an International Trade Organization
(ITO); and (2), negotiations of the re-
ductions of tariffs, removal of other trade
barriers and the elimination of discrimina-
tory practices. Certainly this marks the
transition of our international commercial
policy to one which is not only multilateral
in form but also world-wide in scope and
responsibility. And there can be no ques-
tion but that this amounts to a "positive
undertaking," rather than mere acquies-
cence, by the Government of the United
States.

Credence has been given to this view with
regard to our official position by the Di-
rector of the Office of International Trade
Policy of the United States Department
of State who has unequivocally stated,
"the whole project of the London Con-
ference and the I.T.O. was conceived,
sponsored and promoted by the United
States." But strangely enough he did not
add what logically follows, namely, that
the United States must thereby be pre-
pared to assume the major, if not full,
responsibility for its possible failure.

In this present and third stage of our
international commercial policy it is clear
that we are entering upon a program
enormously more extensive in scope and
complex in administration than any which
could possibly have been conceived a few

years ago. This program constitutes a de-
parture of great magnitude from past
policy and procedure. We would be ex-
ceedingly naive to say the least, if we fail
to recognize that it will put the several
branches of our Civil Service to the ex-
treme test of their ingenuity in policy
determination and skill of administrative
operation. Needless to say, we should be
fully cognizant of this fact and the po-
tentialities which our new international
commercial policy may entail for us. As
President Truman has recently said, "It is
important that the people of the United
States realize the true significance of these
(Geneva) negotiations for us and for the
world. They are not solely trade bargains.
They are that; but they are much more.
They are central to the structure of inter-
national economic cooperation under the
United Nations."

COLLEGIATE PLAYERS

The University of Maryland has been
granted a chapter in the National Col-
legiate Players, honorary dramatic fra-
ternity, Dr. Ray Ehrensberger, head of the
Speech Department, has announced.

At the national convention in Chicago
last December, Dr. Ehrensberger presented
the matter to the executive council, and
last month, by unanimous consent of the
national officers, a chapter was granted to
the University. Maryland has been anxious
for several years to get a chapter of this
fraternity on the campus, but it was not
until this year that the Department of
Speech and Drama and the University
Theatre presentations could come up to
the high standard of the fraternity.

The fraternity offers membership to stu-
dents who have excelled in dramatic work
either in the field of acting or in stage
work. Only students with junior standing
or above are eligible for membership and
a strict point system is maintained for
membership. The fraternity publishes a
monthly magazine known as "The Players"
which contains news of the chapters as
well as professional dramatic news. Dr.
Charles Niemeyer of the Speech Depart-
ment is one of the editors.

4-H CLUB FORMED

Approximately 50 4-H Club men and
women attending the University of Mary-
land have formed a collegiate 4-H Club
which will enable them to continue their
interest in club work while in college.

Officers elected at a recent meeting were:
President, Richard Greenwood from How-
ard County, formerly of Walkersville; vice
president, Mary Harry Davis from Harford
County; secretary, Joan Giddings from
Anne Arundel County; treasurer, Earl
Crouse from Carroll County; representa-
tive to Agricultural Council, William En-
sor, Jr., from Harford County; reporter,
Peggy Ensor from Harford County.

The announced aims of the club are:
to unite a 4-H Club on campus; to be
a service club for 4-H Clubs; to unite
4-H Club freshmen and help them orient-
ate themselves to college life, to try to
interest other 4-H'ers in attending the Uni-
versity of Maryland; to be a work shop
for 4-H students who desire to become
teachers and county agents; to help in-
struct its members to become future local
leaders; to publish the 4-H paper, "News
and Views of 4-H Clubs"; to assist county
organizations in a program and recreation.

covering business and economic
activity within the State of
Maryland are now available for
the first time by type of pay-
ments and industrial sources.

[Estimates provided by the
National Income Unit, U. S.
Dept. of Commerce, especially
for the Bureau of Business and
Kconomic Research.]

In interpreting the data, it is
important to observe that in-
come payments from 1941
through 1945 were related di-
rectly to increased employment
resulting from war-time produc-
tion, and may be expected to
record a decrease for 1946.
Moreover, the effect of price
inflation upon dollar values of
payments will require discount-

INCOME PAYMENTS TO INDIVIDUALS
IN MARYLAND

Analyzed by the
Bureau of Business and Economic Research

The Bureau of Business and Economic Research consists of John H.
Cover, Director, Annette J. Klender, Secretary, and the following assist-
ants: Walter R. Longanecker, Jr., U. of Md. '43, Candidate for MBA;
Edward C. Kaighn, Jr., U. of Md. '44, Candidate for MBA; Charles L.
Vychopen, U. of Texas, '4i, Candidate for MBA; Frances Bernacki,
BPA '50; Catherine Brockmeyer, BPA '48; Paul S. Grove, BPA '48;
and Mildred Mooney, BPA '48.

JLHIS article on income payments to individuals in Maryland is a
product of the Bureau of Business and Economic Research established
within the College of Business and Public Administration. The Bureau's
first undertaking was an "Economic Survey of Allegany County, Mary-
land," recently published.

Basic objectives of the Bureau may be summarized as follows:

(1) To provide analyses of business and economic conditions in
Maryland and its environmental region.

(2) To respond to requests of individuals, concerns, institutions, and
governmental offices for aid in the analysis and interpretation of eco-
nomic and business problems.

(3) To provide competent students with training and experience in
business and economic analysis.

Currently, the Bureau is assembling basic data covering a wide
field of economic and business Interests, and is developing barometric
series to measure economic changes in Maryland communities. Rather
than merely describing conditions, the Bureau aims to apply objective
measurements which may permit the business concern or organization to
establish a policy and lay plans based more significantly upon factors
and relationships.

ing in evaluating the estimates of 1946.

[The 1946 estimates will not be completed before mid-July,
1947, principally because of the necessity of awaiting compilation
of data from the Bureau of Internal Revenue.]

A comparison of total income payments in Maryland and in
the United States is presented in adjacent Chart 1. The two
curves are directly comparable, despite the wide variation in
values, since they are plotted on ratio scales providing propor-
tionate distances vertically. It is observed that the proportionate
changes for the Maryland series from 1939 to 1944 are some-
what greater than for the United States series as a whole. In
part, this might be expected from a comparison of a portion
of a series with the whole, but it also indicates that the State of
Maryland did display a more rapid increase in income payments
than a number of other states. The actual values are recorded
in Table 1.

For purposes of reference, the total population of Maryland,
estimated for the inter-census years, is also indicated in Chartl,
rising from 1,618,000 in 1929 to 2,170,000 in 1945. If it were
desired to indicate per capita income, certain amounts should be
added to cover miscellaneous items, and the result would be
$703 in 1929, and $1,212 in 1945. However, comparison of the
population and payments curves in Chart 1 indicates visually
the lack of significance of a per capita income estimate. If data
were available, a more valuable estimate would refer to per
capita payments to those of the population working, or to
changes in family incomes.

An interesting summary, available in Table 2, indicates per-
centage changes for a period of years in total income, in net

as 100, the progress of other years is readily observed. For in-
stance, while the relative position of total income payments for
1945 had reached approximately 230 per cent, income from
property had reached only 124 per cent and net income of pro-

prietors 220 per cent — increases from 1939 of 130 per cent, 24
per cent, and 120 per cent, respectively. Unfortunately, detailed
data are not available which would permit a separation of wages
and salaries; the combined values increased 156 per cent in the
five-year period.

Table 3 records industrial sources of wages and salaries in
gross figures as distinct from the net figures presented in Table 2.
The net values are obtained by deducting social insurance pay-
ments from the gross values, but data are available to permit
these deductions only for the aggregate, and not for each of the
industrial categories separately.

For presentation in Chart 2, index numbers were chosen of
the first four categories in Table 3. Apparent at once is the
tremendous effect of the war production upon the volume of
income from manufacturing; though dwarfed by comparison,
increases in the other series were quite significant in themselves.
Resulting from a decrease in the volume of manufacturing,
wages and salaries after the peak of 1943 decline in contrast to
the movement of the other three series. Since the volume pre-

sented in these series is the total value of payments, it represents,
therefore, increases in numbers of persons as well as in wage
rates, salary levels, and other changes.

Plotted in Chart 3 are indexes of the net incomes of proprietors
for the first four industrial groups represented in Table 4. These
groups are the same as the industrial sources presented for wages
and salaries in Chart 2. It is important to recall, however, that
the wages and salary data are gross values, before the deduction
of social insurance, whereas the proprietor incomes are net
figures. It would appear from these comparisons that the greatest
relative increase in proprietor income in Maryland was obtained
by enterprisers in agriculture, and that merchants experienced
the next greatest rate of increase in volume. The spurt of income
for proprietors from 1939 through 1941 was relatively greater
than for gross wages, but beginning in 1942 the tremendous in-
crease in employment for war production initiated a rise in the
employee volume that would not be paralleled, of course, by the
income of proprietors. The volume of manufacturing income
began its decline after 1943.

In addition to income payments presented in tabular and chart
form, there is a category of "other income payments" which
increased from $54,000,000 in 1940 to approximately $185,000,000
in 1945. The largest single item of "other income payments" in
1940 was for public assistance, aggregating $22,400,000. For 1945
the leading income in miscellaneous brackets was approximately
$64,000,000 for family allowances, $40,000,000 for allotments, $18,-
000,000 mustering out payments, and $13,000,000 veterans' pen-
sions and compensation.

Income of proprietors in retail trade aggregated $72,600,000
in 1945 as compared with wholesaler's income of $16,100,000.

Prospectively, the utility of these payments estimates is great.
Ultimately, when estimates of various deductions for taxes and
other withholdings can be applied, approximations will be avail-
able for the gauging of disposable income, or purchasing volume.
Then, upon correction of this volume for the value of the dollar,
we shall have a measure of Maryland purchasing power.

Even now, the yearly aggregates probably are a rough approxi-
mation of changes in disposable income.

THE PROPELLER CLUB
OF THE UNITED STATES

Maryland

Port No. 9?,

University of
Secretary

THE Propeller Club of the United
States is an organization of national
and international fame which has just
recently allied itself with the University
of Maryland. The original Club was
founded in 1923 as the "Propeller Club of
the Port of New York," and has since
expanded all over the world.

Today the Propeller Club of the United
States consists of over 100 Ports of which
better than sixty are within the continental
limits of the United States, six in Europe,
four in South America, four in the West
Indies, and one in Hawaii. Twenty-nine
Student or Junior Ports are located in uni-
versities having in their curricula courses
in Naval architecture, marine engineering,
foreign and domestic commerce, trade and
transportation, business administration and
economics. The development of Student
Ports has proven to be one of the impor-
tant features of the Propeller Club move-
quested information with the intention of
having a Propeller Club added to the list
of campus organizations.

The chartering of Port No. 99 of the
Propeller Club of the United States at the
University of Maryland took place on De-
cember 12, 1946. National officers visited
the campus and were entertained at dinner
at the Romany Inn after which they made
the charter presentation. This "Port" is
the twenty-ninth Student Port and was
formed through the efforts of Dr. John H.
Frederick, Professor of Transportation and
Foreign Trade.

Dr. Frederick serves as Faculty Adviser
to the Club. Officers elected for the cur-
rent school year include Clark E. Luther,
President; Walter R. Longanecker, 1st
Vice-President; Charles L. Vychopen, 2nd
Vice-President; and Charles F. Heye, Sec-
retary-Treasurer.

In addition to participating in regular
university activities, the Club has been
instrumental in bringing prominent speak-
ers in the field of shipping and transpor-
tation to the campus for the further edi-
fication of the members. The high-light
of this year's activity was the trip through
the Baltimore harbor and port facilities
sponsored by the Propeller Club of the
Port of Baltimore. Both the Propeller Clubs
located in Baltimore and Washington have
been most helpful in getting Port No. 99
off to a grand start through their co-
operation in arranging for these speakers
and this trip, and both have promised
their assistance in the years to come to
help make this Student Port one of the
best in the organization.

To further and encourage scholastic
achievement and interest in the field of
shipping and transportation, the National
Office has authorized the Pi Sigma Phi
scholastic award. Similarly, this award
is to designate the holder as an outstand-
ing student in the field of shipping and
transportation as does the Phi Beta Kappa
or the Phi Delta Phi award in their fields.

Although a new club on the campus,
Port No. 99 has already gained momentum
and is well on its way toward becoming
one of the best. Under the guidance of
Dr. Frederick and with the assistance of
our sister clubs and the backing of the
National club, there is no other alternative.

BETA GAMMA SIGMA

THE Beta Gamma Sigma Fraternity is
a national honorary for students of
business administration. A chapter was
established at Maryland University on Oc-
tober 25, 1940 and is known as Alpha of
Maryland.

The national organization is an out-
growth of three local clubs. The Eco-
nomics Club of the University of Cali-
fornia, Delta Kappa Chi of the University
of Illinois, and the Beta Gamma Sigma
Fraternity of the University of Wisconsin,
were organized as Beta Gamma Sigma Fra-
ternity in Feb. 1913. Chapters may be
established only in the 55 colleges of Busi-
ness Administration which are members of
the National Association of Collegiate
Schools of Business. At this time there are
48 active chapters.

The purpose is to encourage and re-
ward scholarship and accomplishments in
the field of business studies among stu-
dents and graduates of Collegiate Schools
of Business, to promote the advancement
and spread of education in the science of
business, and to foster principles of hon-
esty and integrity in business practice.

In order to accomplish the aims and
purposes of Beta Gamma Sigma member-
ship is limited to students who have
demonstrated superiority in those traits
which a college education in business
should develop. Only those juniors who
stand in the upper 3% of their class and
those seniors who stand in the upper 10%
are eligible for admission.

Since the chapter was established on this
campus 32 members have been initiated.

BOARD OF MANAGERS

THE Board of Managers of the College
Park Alumni Association held a meet-
ing at the home of Harry E. Haslinger,
College Park, Maryland, with Chairman
Austin Diggs presiding. The Executive
Secretary of the Alumni Association and
the full membership of the Board with the
exception of Talbot T. Speer was in
attendance.

The Board decided to continue its
monthly meetings and established an
agenda for the next several months. The
topic for April will be the Alumni Con-
stitution and a consideration of changes
necessary to provide a sound basis for
future operations. In May plans will be
established for Homecoming and the neces-
sary committees appointed.

The Board unanimously decided that no
attempt should be made to hold an alumni
reunion this Spring, but that classes de-
siring to get together on or about com-
mencement time should make the necessary
arrangements by communicating with the
Executive Secretary, David L. Brigham.

The principal topic of discussion con-
cerned the establishment of a reasonably
correct membership mailing list and the
progress made to-date. The Executive
Secretary reported that some eight thou-
sand graduates of the College Park Schools
had responded to the questionnaire sent
out by the President of the University and
that the card filing system when com-
pleted would provide a breakdown by
class, locality, school and employment.
Addressograph plates are being made for
the College Park Alumni and the Balti-
more Schools and will result in a mailing
list of more than twenty-two thousand
alumni.

The progress of the Executive Secretary
is excellent, but whether we are able to
obtain that reasonably correct mailing list
which is so essential and necessary as a
foundation for any alumni activity de-
pends upon the cooperation of each alum-
nus. The Board, therefore, urges that
each alumnus make it his or her duty to
see that the Executive Secretary has a
correct mailing address, and further, that
each alumnus constitute himself or herself
a committee to see that each alumnus
with whom contact is had be urged to
supply a mailing address. Alumni His-
tory Forms may be obtained by writing to
the Executive Secretary, College Park,
Maryland.

The Board adjourned its meeting with
a conscious realization of the magnitude
of the job which must be accomplished to
establish a live and efficient Alumni Asso-
ciation. Each member of the Board stands
ready and willing to meet the challenge,

and each alumnus is urged to do his or
her part by promoting the Alumni Associa-
tion at every opportunity. The first job
is to supply a correct address to the Execu-
tive Secretary.

The Board renews its request for sug-
gestions, as it establishes a program for
the year. Suggestions should be sent to Dr.
Charles E. White, University of Maryland,
who is Secretary of the Board.

PRESTON L. PEACH, '03

"You will be surprised somewhat, per-
haps, to get this letter," writes Preston L.
Peach, class of 1903, on his way through
the Mediterranean Sea, "but it will not
take you long to put together the thread
of facts and guess that Peach is on his
way for the sixth time to go around the
world. We are headed for the land of
rubber and tin, but not in that business.
We are going back to the business of
Education and Evangelism among the peo-
ples of Malaya under the Methodist
Church. This will be our last term and
it will be short, perhaps not more than
two years. There was a time last year
when we had given up hope of getting
back again, but things have turned out
much to our joy that we were able to
renew once again those contacts that had
been so strong and wholesome in that
beautiful land.

"At a little gathering at the Church
which we have been attending down at
Mitchellville, just before we left last
month, one of our friends made this re-
mark; "Our boys have, during these last
four years, been over in the Far East
making it possible for Mr. and Mrs. Peach
to return to continue their work." There
is a lot of truth in that; we feel it as we
go back. Had they not gone, we could
not return. Herewith we extend to them
our heart-felt thanks. Not all have seen
the wisdom of what we strive to do, but
thousands have seen its worth. We there-
fore believe that in the long measure of
years it will be said that we all together
have done a goodly work for these people
of the Orient — we have saved them from
despotic rule and have in turn lifted them
to freedom and new life. Let this word
through you go to any man or woman
who has served in the forces of our
country.

"I will try to keep in touch with you
and the U. if you will try to keep in
touch with me. TELL ME IF any Alum-
nus is anywhere near our place of sojourn
— Kuala Lumpor — Singapore — Penang.

"With greetings to all."

BRUNETTE BEAUTY

Betty Heyser, twenty-year old sponsor of
the Clemson boxing team in the Southern
Conference Boxing Tournament, has re-
turned from a ten-day trip to California
where she and other girls from all over
the country were guests of the Paramount
Studios.

While en route home from Hollywood,
Miss Heyser received wide acclaim as the
heroine of the accident in which the train
bearing her and other beauties jumped
the rails. Miss Heyser, according to news-
paper accounts, "carried hot drinks and
food to the injured, tore up bed sheets
for bandages, and seemingly was every-
where at once."

Miss Heyser won the trip to Hollywood
as "My Favorite Brunette" of Washington
and vicinity. She was selected on the stage
of the Palace theater in a contest prompted
by the Bob Hope picture of the same
name.

Upon entering the same picture which
gave her the title "Miss Terrapin of
1946," Miss Heyser was invited to appear
for a personal judging on the stage with
twelve other contestants. The selection
was made on the basis of beauty, poise,
and personality.

A junior in the College of Home Eco-
nomics, Miss Heyser is a member of Delta,
Delta Delta, the Footlight Club, and is a
cheerleader. She was Rossborough queen
last semester.

DR. W. M. GEWEHR

A blunt assertion that the United States
should use its present world supremacy to
set up an international organization pro-
viding complete control over all kinds of
war was made by Dr. W. M. Gewehr, head
of the history department at the University
of Maryland.

His talk was the highlight of a meeting
in the Woodside Methodist Church which
brought together representatives of the
Woman's Club of Kensington, the Woman's
Community Club of Kensington, the Cur-
rent Comment Club of Silver Spring, the
Woman's Club of Silver Spring, the
Woman's Club of Takoma Park and the
Silver Spring Branch, American Associa-
tion of University Women.

Dr. Gewehr declared that the Acheson-
Lilienthal recommendations on atomic en-
ergy fall "far short" of the controls needed

because they permit the use of the veto
in fields other than atomic energy.

"If other methods of war aren't con-
trolled," he declared, "it would be hope-
less to expect that controls over atomic
energy would survive, once war broke out."

An effective organization should have
both law-making and law-enforcement
powers, Dr. Gewehr added.

The speaker, who addressed a meeting
of the Woman's Club of Woodside, called
for a complete revision of thinking on the
whole subject of international organization.

Warning that it will be just a question
of time before other countries develop the
atom bomb, he said the United States
should not hesitate to use its present posi-
tion to force the world to accept adequate
controls.

In addition to atomic energy, such
weapons as the rocket bomb developed
the opportunity for an unscrupulous per-
son or nation to conquer the world, he
pointed out.

Dr. Gewehr took leave of absence last
year to go to Europe where he set up the
history departments in the Army uni-
versity program in England and France.
He also served in the Army lecture bu-
reau in Germany for three months.

THE STORY OF THE FLAG OF OUR COUHTRY

AH APPEALTO HEAVEN

EARLY REVOLUTIONARY FLAGS

Washington's cruisers flew this "Ap-
peal to Heaven" flag. It was men-
tioned in English newspapers. It
was familiar on the seas. A coiled
rattlesnake under the pine tree
appeared on some of these flags.

Armed ships out of New York as
early as 1775 flew this flag, the
beaver representing industry as well
as the fur trade. The beaver was
used on the seal of New Amsterdam
and later on the seals of New York
City and State.

The maritime State of Rhode Island
had its own flag. It saw action at
Brandywine, Trenton and Yorktown.
The white stars on a blue field later
appear in our National Ensign. Rhode
Island state flag today is similar.

This Continental Flag was carried
into action by Revolutionary troops.
The banner was red with a white
jack bearing a green pine tree. This
flag is on display at Annapolis,
Maryland. Most colonial military
units carried their individual stand-
ards.

JUNE 14, 1947 is the 170th Anniversary
of the birth of the Stars and Stripes, the
flag of our country.

Maryland is the birthplace of our Na-
tional Anthem, "The Star Spangled Ban-
ner" as well as the native state of Francis
Scott Key, author of the anthem eulogizing
our flag.

In giving a correct and accurate history
of the birth of Old Glory it becomes the
sad duty at the outset to cast a shadow
of doubt upon the pretty story of Betsy
Ross, usually acknowledged as the maker
of the first American flag. In the early
Revolutionary days there was a "Mrs. Ross"
residing in Philadelphia, whose business
was flag making. However, unsentimental
historians do not authenticate the pictur-
esque legend of the Betsy Ross flag, famed
in song, story and painting. There is noth-
ing to prove the Betsy Ross story.

The Betsy Ross Story

On the other hand, there is the story of
the dramatic incident enacted in the up-
holstery shop of Mrs. Betsy Ross in Phila-
delphia. To her shop in the summer of
1776, goes the story, there came a distin-
guished group of patriots headed by
George Washington. They bore with them
a rough sketch for a flag, a banner behind
which they hoped to unite the efforts of
the thirteen colonies. This sketch resem-
bled the Grand Union Flag and differed
from the latter only in that the union of
the crosses of St. Andrew and St. George
had been replaced by a union of thirteen
stars placed in a circle on a blue field.
After some discussion as to whether or
not the stars should be six-pointed or five-
pointed, Mrs. Ross set herself to the im-
mortal task of making our first "Star-
Spangled Banner."

It is unfortunate that the above incident
surrounding the work of Betsy Ross occur-
red at a time when the passions of rebel-
lion and independence were foremost in
the minds of the colonists. Thus the chron-
icles of the day failed to record or sub-
stantiate all the details surrounding the
origin of the flag.

It will also be necessary to throw cold
water on the justly famous painting of
"Washington Crossing the Delaware." The

"lf Any One Attempts To Haul Down The
American Flag, Shoot Him On The Spot."

The above Is the original order of Gen. John A.
Dix, Secretary of the Treasury, to Mr. William H.
Jones, his personal representative who had pro-
ceeded to the Gulf Coast prior to the outbreak
of the Civil War to save, if possible, the revenue
(Coast Guard) cutters then stationed in those
waters. The above quotation has become famous
in American history.

artist no doubt took advantage of "artists'
license" in this painting, for at the time
the great Colonial Commander-in-Chief
crossed the Delaware River, the Stars and
Stripes had not yet been originated. The
painting shows the Stars and Stripes amid-
ships in the boat carrying Washington
through the ice floes of the Delaware. Then
there is the great painting "The Spirit of
'76," showing the Stars and Stripes, a flag
which was originated on June 14, '77.

During those early Revolutionary days
the land forces fought entirely under the
state and county flags of the localities
whence the embattled patriots hailed.
There were as many banners as there were
fighting units and no national flag was
flown on shore by any unit at the time
the early fighting for liberty and indepen-
dence was in progress. For instance, a
negro outfit, known as "The Bucks of
America," flew a yellowish-brown flag show-
ing a buck deer under a pine tree. The
Eutaw standard, under which Colonel Wil-
liam Washington's cavalry fought, was
nothing more than a red piece of damask,
ripped from the back of Miss Jane Elliott's
parlor chair and given to Colonel Washing-
ton with the words, "Use this as your
standard, Colonel!"

The Flag At Sea

It remained for the sea service to fly the
first real national flag. In the fall of the
year 1775 the colonists created a fleet of
six ships known as "Washington's Cruisers."
These brave little vessels sailed forth to
capture British stores and ammunition
bound for America's shores. The ships
were the LYNCH, the FRANKLIN, the
LEE, the HARRISON, the WARREN and
the LADY WASHINGTON. The LEE was
the only one of this first American Fleet
to meet success upon the high seas, cap-
turing the British brig, NANCY, carrying
arms, ammunition and provisions to the
British Army in America.

These "Washington's Cruisers" flew the
first national flag. It was white, bearing a
pale green pine tree with the motto "An
Appeal to Heaven." Some of these flags
also showed a rattlesnake under the pine
tree.

On December 3, 1775, Commodore Esek
Hopkins, the first and only Commander-

IN THE DAWN OF A GREAT NATION

This flag, which is at Annapolis,
was carried at the Battle of Bunker
Hill and is known as the "Bunker
Hill Flag." The Cross of St. George
is red on a white field. The pine
tree is green. The large field is
dark blue.

This is the "Bennington Flag." The
thirteen stripes show white at top
and bottom. Thirteen stars make
their appearance. This one was
carried into action by Vermont's
"Green Mountain Boys" on August
14, 1777.

Yellow, with a black rattlesnake and
black letterinq. was this flaq flown
by Commodore Ezek Hopkins in
1775 and 1774. It was flown from
Continental ships and was emblaz-
oned on the drums of the first
United States Marines during their
1775 initial recruiting drive in Phila-
delphia.

in-Chief the Navy ever had, took command
of the Continental Navy. The ceremony of
assuming command marked the hoisting of
the first truly American flag and the honor
of unfurling this first national ensign be-
longs to no less a personage than John
Paul Jones, at that time a lieutenant in
the Navy. Jones was attached to the AL-
FRED. John Paul Jones wrote about this
incident: "It was my fortune as the senior
of the first lieutenants to myself hoist the
flag of America (I chose to do it with
my own hands) the first time it was dis-
played."

This flag bore the thirteen alternating
red and white stripes we have in Old Glory
■to this day, but the jack was the Union
Jack of England. The jack which was
flown at the same time by the ALFRED,
was a flag of thirteen alternating red and
■white stripes, and the words "Dont Tread
On Me" beneath the snake. The rattle-
snake was a favorite emblem along with
the pine tree in those early colonial flags.
Both the snake and the pine were purely
American products, and while the pine
tree reflected the glory of the green hills
of our country the rattlesnake probably
went farther toward showing the attitude
of our rebellious ancestors of that time.

Over Cambridge, Mass.

One month after the first American flag
was hoisted on the ALFRED by Lieutenant
Jones it was flown over Cambridge, Mass.,
by the Army. The Army, however, never
carried this flag into battle and it was
never under fire on land.

Again it remained for our early sailor-
men to carry this first Old Glory into bat-

MADE IN MARYLAND

Made by the hands of Maryland women this is
the original Fort McHenry battle flag, one of its
fifteen stars shot away. This ensign inspired the
writing of "The Star Spangled FUnner." The flag
is now on exhibition at the Smithsonian Institute,
Washington, D. C.

This flag was made by Mary Young Pickersgill
and her 14 year old daughter, Caroline, on the malt
house floor of Clagert's Brewery in Baltimore.

tie and to signal victory. Commodore Man-
ley, commanding the HANCOCK, captured
two enemy transports under this first
ensign.

It also fell to the lot of the Navy to
first fly the American flag over foreign ter-
ritory, when Commodore Hopkins landed

Thirteen alternate red and white
stripes, crossed by a brown rattle-
snake with the black letters "Don't
Tread on Me" was flown by the
South Carolina Navy as well as by
the Minute Men of Culpepper, Va.
It was flown as the jack on the bow
of the flagship Alfred. Note that

marines from the CABOT on the Bahama
Islands and captured powder and stores
sorely needed by General Washington. The
ships PROVIDENCE and WASP covered
this successful and daring expedition.

Once again the Navy was honored by
the first foreign salute to the American
flag when the Dutch Governor of St. Eusta-
tius, Dutch West Indies, returned the salute
fired from the American ship ANDREW
DORIA, much to the chagrin of nearby
British officials.

Now we come to the real birth of the
Stars and Stripes, nearly one year after the
signing of the Declaration of Independence.
After our forefathers had pledged their
honor, their lives, their fortunes to the
Declaration of Independence nearly a year
elapsed before the crossed jack of Britain
was replaced by thirteen white stars, ar-
ranged upon a blue field. June 14, 1777,
was the birthdate of the Stars and Stripes.

Navy First

And once again the Navy was the first
in authorizing this flag, for the Stars and
Stripes were authorized by the Marine Com-
mittee, in among other Naval matters, with
the words, "Resolved, That the flag of the
thirteen United States be thirteen stripes,
alternate red and white; that the union
be thirteen stars, white in a blue field,
representing a new constellation."

And as the pretty story of Betsy Ross,
which, if true, should be narrated at this
juncture, history shows that one Francis
Hopkinson, after resigning as a delegate to
the Continental Congress, in August of
1778, wrote to Congress and stated that

DONTGIVEUP
THE SHIP

FLAGS OF TRADITION AND GLORY

The "Grand Union Flag," "First En-
sign" or "Cambridge Flag" imme-
diately preceded the Stars and
Stripes. This is the flag, referred
to in the text, hoisted on the Flag-
ship "Alfred" by John Paul Jones
•and planted ashore by U. S. Marines
in the Bahamas.

The first "Stars and Stripes," as
authorized by Congress, "That the
flag of the thirteen United States be
thirteen stripes, alternate red and
white; that the union be thirteen
stars, white in a blue field, repre-
senting a new constellation."

The "Fort McHenry Flag," fash-
ioned by the hands of Maryland
women. It inspired Maryland's Fran-
cis Scott Key to write "The Star-
Spangled Banner." This flag, 15 stars
and 15 stripes, is the one O'Ban-
non's Marines hoisted over Tripoli.
It was carried by Andrew Jackson's
troops at New Orleans.

A great sea battle was won under
this one. This is Perry's flag at the
Battle of Lake Erie. White letters
on a blue field, "Dont Give Up
The Ship." No apostrophe in the
"Dont." "We have met the enemy
and they are ours" came from this
battle flag, inspired by Lawrence's
dying words on the decks of the
U. S. S. Chesapeake.

"I have with great readiness, on several
occasions, exerted my small abilities in this
way for public service, as I flatter myself,
to the satisfaction of those I wish to please,
viz: The Flag of the United States of
America."

Many historians contend that the great
Paul Jones had a great deal to do with
the designing of the Stars and Stripes, as
history records this officer being lionized
at various "flag bees" in seaport towns
after his first successful cruises abroad.

At Fort Schuyler

The adoption of the Stars and Stripes
created great enthusiasm among our early
Continental troops. History records that
when the news of the new flag reached
Fort Schuyler, then under fire, a red
petticoat belonging to one of the ladies
of the fort, white ammunition shirts of
the soldiers, and a blue cloak, belonging
to one Captain Swarthout were brought
into service in order to improvise the
Stars and Stripes. There were records to
prove that Captain Swarthout was properly
reimbursed for his blue coat, but nothing
to show that the owners of the white
shirt or red petticoat were ever reimbursed.

At Fort Schuyler the first Stars and
Stripes received its baptism of fire on
August 2, 1777, when Gen. Peter Ganse-
voort's gallant little army successfully re-
pulsed the attack of a combined force of
St. Leger's British redcoats and Brandt's
Indians.

At sunset, September 4, 1777, the Stars
and Stripes first flew under fire in a sea
engagement, when the Yankee ship
RALEIGH captured the British ship
NANCY after an interesting fight.

The first recognition of the American
Flag by a foreign Government occurred in
Quiberon Bay, France, February 14, 1778.

Captain John Paul Jones received the
honor in the ship RANGER, which was
accompanied by the brig INDEPEN-
DENCE.

Vice Admiral La Motte Picquet, Com-
mander of the French Fleet, returned the
RANGER'S salute of 13 guns with nine
guns. Captain Jones was thereby the first
person on a ship of war of the United
States to receive a salute from France in
recognition of American independence.

This exchange of courtesies occurred be-
fore the Franco-American alliance in the
Revolutionary War became public knowl-
edge.

Captain Jones had left Portsmouth
Roads, New Hampshire, on November 1,
1777, cheered by the news of Burgoyne's
surrender, and came to anchor at Palm
Boeuf on the Loire River after a passage
of 32 days. On Friday, the 13th of Feb-
ruary 1778, the RANGER in company
with the INDEPENDENCE moved to
Quiberon Bay.

France Salutes

Immediately upon arrival, Captain Jones
began an exchange of correspondence with
William Carmichael, Secretary to United
States Commissioner Silas Deane in France,
which led to the exchange of salutes the
following day, February 14, 1778.

Dr. Ezra Green, Navy surgeon aboard
the RANGER, made the following entry
in his Journal on February 14, 1778:

"Very squally weather. Came to sail at

4 o'clock P.M. Saluted the French Ad-
miral and received nine guns in return.
This is the first salute ever pay'd the
American flag."

Captain Jones' account of the ceremony
to Commissioner Deane on February 26,
1778, follows:

"I imagine that you have already been
informed of the mutual salute in this
bay for the first time between the flag of
liberty and that of France. Here are the
details; those which you have received are
not perhaps exact.

"The vessel INDEPENDENCE accepted
my convoy from Nantes here; I arrived
on the 13th (February 13, 1778) and imme-
diately despatched my long boat to find
out whether the Admiral would return
my salute. He sent reply that he would
return it, as being that of the senior offi-
cer of the American Continent, at present
in Europe, with the same salute that he
was authorized to give an admiral of Hol-
land or any republic, that is, four guns
less. I hesitated for I had asked shot for
shot; so I cast anchor at the entrance of
the bay, at a little distance from the
French Fleet.

I AM OLD GLORY!

JL OR more than eight score years I
have been the banner of hope and
freedom for generation after genera-
tion of Americans. Born amid the first
flames of America's fight for freedom,
I am the symbol of a country that has
grown from a little group of thirteen
colonies to a united nation of forty-
eight sovereign states. Planted firmly
on the high pinnacle of American Faith
my gently fluttering folds have proved
an inspiration to untold millions. Men
have followed me into battle with
unwavering courage. They have looked
upon me as a symbol of national
unity. They have prayed that they
and their fellow citizens might con-
tinue to enjoy the life, liberty and
pursuit of happiness, which have been
granted to every American as the
heritage of free men. So long as men
love liberty more than life itself; so
long as they treasure the priceless
privileges bought with the blood of
our forefathers; so long as the princi-
ples of truth, justice and charity for
all remain deeply rooted in human
hearts, I shall continue to be the
enduring banner of the U^iied States
of America."

"But seeing from some private informa-
tion I received on the 14th that he had
really spoken the truth, I accepted his
offer the more readily as after all it was
a recognition of our independence. The
wind being contrary, and rather violent,
it was only after sunset that the RANGER
could approach near enough to salute La
Motte Picquet with thirteen guns; he re-
turned it with nine. However, I did not
allow the INDEPENDENCE to salute him
until the next morning, when I sent word
to the Admiral that I wished to pass

through his squadron, and to salute him
again by daylight. He was singularly flat-
tered by this and again returned by salute
with nine guns.

"The officers of this squadron are ex-
tremely well-bred and polite. They all
visited my vessel, the RANGER, and ex-
pressed the greatest satisfaction with it,
saying it is a perfect jewel. When we
visited their vessels, they received us with
every sign of pleasure and consideration,
and saluted us with a feu de joie. . ."

On May 1, 1795, the starred jack of
our flag showed fifteen stars, and the cir-
cular arrangement was eliminated. This
was called "The Fort McHenry Flag."

The flag, at this stage of its evolution,
is of particular interest to Marylanders for
it was this 15-starred and 15-striped En-
sign which, flying over Fort McHenry,
inspired Francis Scott Key to write the
"Star Spangled Banner." The particular
flag which Key saw, "through the mists of
the deep" and "by the rocket's red glare"
was the handiwork of two Maryland
women, Mrs. Mary Pickersgill and her
daughter, Caroline.

Early Heraldry

From May 1, 1795, the date of the Fort
McHenry flag, the story of the flag is well
known, one new star being added for
each new state.

The story of the origin of our National
Flag parallels the story of the origin of
our country. As our country received its
birthright from the peoples of many lands
who gathered on these shores to found a
new nation, so did the pattern of stars and
stripes rise from several origins back in
the mists of antiquity to become em-
blazoned on the standard of our infant
republic.

The star is a symbol of the heavens and
the divine goal to which man has aspired
from time immemorial, and the stripe is
symbolic of the rays of light emanating
from the sun. Both themes have long
been represented on the standards of na-
tions, from the banners of the astral wor-
shippers of ancient Egypt and Babylon to
the 12-starred flag of the Spanish Con-
quistadors under Cortez. Continuing in
favor, they spread to the striped standards
of Holland and the East India Company
in the 18th century and to the present
patterns «f stars and stripes on the flags
of several nations of Europe, Asia, and
the Americas.

One origin advanced is that the Old
Testament and the laws of Moses, when
red, white and blue were the colors of
the Jewish church and later taken over
by the Christian churches. This is plausi-
ble, since the preponderance of national
ensigns are made from combinations of
red, white and blue.

Various Theories

As to the origin in America of the
color scheme and design of the Stars and
Stripes there are various theories. Some
claim the stars on the blue field were
adopted from the Rhode Island State flag,
while the white stripes were to show that
the colonies broke away from the red
field of the British king. Another theory
is that the stars and stripes were taken
from the house seal of Washington, which
showed a few stars and stripes.

SIDE BY SIDE, 1777-1947

An historic flag worthy of mention is
the blue flag flown by Commodore Perry,
on Lake Erie, during the War of 1812.
Perry was a great admirer of Lawrence,
another Naval hero. Lawrence, dying on
the deck of the CHESAPEAKE, gave to
the Navy of the United States that im-
perishable slogan, "Dont Give up the
Ship!" Young Perry, still in his early
twenties, went to Erie while the British
Fleet lay in wait watching the gallant
young American build his rough craft
from the trees of the forest. His ships
were finally ready and he named his flag-
ship the "LAWRENCE." He set sail and
met the enemy squadron and defeated
them, sending his famous message, "We
have met the enemy and they are ours,
etc." Over Perry's ships flew the blue flag
with Lawrence's words, "Dont give up
the ship" in large white letters.

Following the War of 1812, a great wave
of nationalistic spirit spread throughout
the country; the infant republic had suc-
cessfully defied the might of an empire.
As this spirit of nationalism spread, Old
Glory began to take on the characteristics
of a mighty symbol of sovereignty and the
homage paid that banner is best expressed
by what the gifted men of later genera-
tions wrote concerning it.

Henry Ward Beecher

The brilliant Henry Ward Beecher said:
"A thoughtful mind when it sees a na-
tion's flag, sees not the flag, but the nation
itself. And whatever may be its symbols,
its insignia, he reads chiefly in the flag,
the government, the principles, the truths,
the history that belong to the nation that
sets it forth. The American flag has been
a symbol of Liberty and men rejoined in it.

"The stars upon it were like the bright
morning stars of God, and the stripes upon
it were beams of morning light. As at
early dawn the stars shine forth even
while it grows light, and then as the sun
advances that light breaks into banks and
streaming lines of color, the glowing red
and intense white striving together, and
ribbing the horizon with bars effulgent,
so, on the American flag, stars and beams
of many-colored light shine out to-
gether. . ."

President Woodrow Wilson said: "This
flag, which we honor and under which we
serve, is the emblem of our unity, our
power, our thought and purpose as a
nation. It has no other character than
that which we give it from generation to
generation. The choices are ours. It
floats in majestic silence above the hosts

that execute those choices, whether in
peace or in war. And yet, though silent,
it speaks to us — speaks to us of the past,
of the men and women who went before
us, and of the records they wrote upon it.

"We celebrate the day of its birth; and
from its birth until now it has witnessed
a great history, has floated on high the
symbol of great events, or a great plan
of life worked out by a great people. . .

"Woe to the man or group of men, that
seek to stand in our way in this day of
high resolution, when every principle we
hold dearest is to be vindicated and made
secure for the salvation of the nation. We
are ready to plead at the bar of history,
and our flag shall wear a new luster.
Once more we shall make good with our
lives and fortunes the great faith to which
we were born, and a new glory shall shine
in the face of our people."

President Calvin Coolidge wrote, "When
the people of the colonies were defending
their liberty against the might of kings,
they chose their banner from the design
set in the firmament through all eternity.
The flags of great empires of that day are
all gone, but the Stars and Stripes remain.
It pictures the vision of a people whose
eyes were turned to the rising dawn. It
represents the hope of a father for his
posterity. It was never flaunted for the
glory of royalty, but to be born under it
is to be a child of the King, and to estab-
lish a home under it is to be a founder
of a Royal house. Alone of all flags it
expresses the sovereignty of the people
which endures when all else passes away.
Speaking with their voice it has the sancity
of revelation. He who lives under it and
is loyal to it is loyal to truth and justice
everywhere. He who lives under it and
is disloyal to it is a traitor to the human
race everywhere. What could be saved if
the flag of the American nation were to
perish."

Thomas Jefferson

Old Glory came into being born amid
the strife of battle. It became the stand-
ard around which a free people struggled
to found a great nation. Its spirit is fer-
vently expressed in the words of Thomas
Jefferson:

"I swear, before the altar of God, eternal
hostility to every form of tyranny over
the mind of man."

Our flag is nothing more nor less than
the nation it represents. When it passes
you on parade reverently salute or bare
your head.

Old Glory is the proudest banner that
was ever unfurled, the very beacon light
of Christianity, liberty and democracy. Its
field of blue is a patch from the very
heavens above. Its stripes of white are
emblematic of the purity and the justice
of the causes for which that flag has al-
ways stood and fought, and its bars of
red are washed in the blood of patriotic
Americans who gave their lives that the
nation might live. Every American has
the right to ask his neighbor, "Have you
done your share, have you made your
sacrifice for Old Glory?"

Every time you see that banner un-
furled thank your Creator that, as an
American citizen, you enjoy the honor
and privilege of living under The Stars
and Stripes.

Dr. Paul Prersly McCain

"Once in a while a man is born with
a rare gift. It is the gift of healing. When
he is aware of it, he tells no one, for it is
not in the nature of such a man to seek
the plaudits of the crowd. Dr. Paul
Prersly McCain had that gift."

The above is an excerpt written in the

DO IT NOW!

By request we print this oldie which
makes up in good advice what it lacks in
merit as poetry:

If with pleasure you are viewing
Anything a fellow's doing,
If you love him or you like him, tell him

NOW!
Don't withhold your approbation
'Til some parson makes oration
And he lies with snowy lilies on his brow.
For then no matter how you shout it
He won't know a word about it
He won't know how many tear drops you

have shed.
If you think some praise is due him
Now's the time to slip it to him.
Boy, they never read their tombstone when

they're dead.

More than praise and more than money

Is the comment, kind and sunny,

The hearty, warm approval of a friend.

It gives to life a savor.

It makes you stronger, braver

And provides some heart and spirit to the

end.
If he rates your praise, bestow it,
NOW'S the time to let him know it.
Let the words of true encouragement be

said,
Do not wait 'till life is over
And he lies beneath the clover,
Boy, he'll never read his tombstone when

he's dead!

MARYLAND ATHLETICS

BOXING AT WISCONSIN

University of Maryland entries in the
NCAA tournament at Madison, Wis-
consin were eliminated as follows: —

Ed Rieder, Southern Conference 155
pound champion, lost the decision to Don
Dickinson, star of the Wisconsin team, a
very fine competitor and a stiff puncher.
Rieder tired in the last round. He scored
a knockdown over Dickinson and the lat-
ter also was on the floor again for no
count. Rieder was unhurt and unmarked.
Some of the officials and newspaper men
thought he won. The decision of the
three officials was unanimous. Dickinson
won his way up to the finals, where he
lost an extremely close split verdict to
Carlson, a very good boxer from Idaho.
The crowd registered prolonged disap-
proval of the decision.

Tom Maloney, with a very bad throat
and a chest cold, lost to Bob Andersen, a
terrific body puncher from San Joe State.
He did little damage to Maloney, although
Anderson won handily into the finals,
where he was eliminated by Lutz, the
champion from Wisconsin on a very close
decision, after Lutz had sustained an in-
jured nose. The bout was halted at the
end of the second round. Maloney was in
bed before the bout and immediately
thereafter. He was unhurt and unmarked.
The decision against Maloney was unani-
mous.

Al Salkowski lost to Jerry Auclair, a
hard hitter from Syracuse, who had
knocked out most of his opponents. Sal-
kowski suffered a cut eye, which required
four stitches. It did not bleed badly and
he finished the bout. He tired in the
last round. The decision against Sal-
kowski was unanimous. Auclair went on
through to take the title, winning by
knockouts and decisions.

Ringsiders, who were familiar with
Southern Conference competition, were of
the opinion that Andy Quattrocchi would
have won the 130 pound title for Mary-
land and that Ken Malone would have en-
countered little trouble in the 175 pound
or unlimited divisions.

Eliminated in the tournament were the
following, who had boxed against Mary-
land this year: — Chuck Spann, 175, and
Ray Avant, 145, South Carolina; Basil and
Jim Miragliotta, 130 and 135, Virginia;
Bob Thoraasian, Stan Wheatley, and Bob
Groover, Kings Point.

Spann went on through to the finals,
where he lost a very close split decision to
Laune Erickson, three time champion from
Idaho.

It is significant to note that Bob Hafer,
Maryland, was not entered in the tourna-
ment because it was felt his record would
not stand inspection. During the season
just closed Hafer lost two very close split

decisions to Spann. Hafer's record was
better than several others entered in the
tournament.

It was noted that the championship win-
ners in the tournament in each instance
were boys who were in splendid physical
condition and who had the reserve to box
the last round as fast as the first. Obvi-
ously, the championship depends to a great
degree on condition and The Roadwork
That Makes For Condition. In this pre-
mise it should be noted that the bouts lost
by Maryland boys in dual or tournament
competition all season were, generally, lost
in the last round.

The treatment accorded visiting teams
at Madison was outstandingly gracious and
hospitable. NCAA and Wisconsin officials
did just about everything that could be
done as splendid hosts. Contestants and
coaches were re-imbursed for travel ex-
penses, plus a per diem allowance.

The Wisconsin field house seats 15,000.
For Thursday afternoon it was about half
full. For Thursday evening about three-
quarters filled. Friday evening's semi-finals
drew near capacity and the finals on Sat-
urday packed the vast arena to capacity.

Probably no city in the world is as
enthusiastic about boxing as Madison and
probably no audience is as "boxing-wise"
as the Madison audience.

The whole city and, apparently, much
of the State is behind boxing. Dignified,
middle-aged ladies in the audience con-
versed intelligently on the practical appli-
cation of boxing techniques.

The Madison newspapers, during the en-
tire tournament, carried six and eight
columns of art, banner-lined feature stories
and columns by leading writers. The Mil-
waukee newspapers, in their state editions,
also featured the tournament heavily. In
Madison the boxing tournament received
more publicity space than the World Series
would receive in large Eastern cities. Each
bout was even described on a round by
round basis.

During the four days of the tournament
Wisconsin newspapers published the re-
sults of no less than twelve inter-scholastic
high school boxing meets. The Wisconsin
public is evidently behind boxing and ap-
preciates its value as a builder of young
men.

£ T€HF BU>

An Indian puts it this way:
"When they smoked the peace
pipe at Yalta, nobody in-
haled."

Chivalry: A man's inc'ina-
tion to defend a woman
against every man but himself.

A pedestrian is a man who
has two cars, a wife, and a
son.

These scholastic bouts are handled by
State-approved coaches, referees, and doc-
tors. The University of Wisconsin holds
boxing clinics. The high school athletes
carry insurance at a very reasonable rate
for boxing and other sports. The rate is
a little higher if football is included.

Preceding the dual meet season the Uni-
versity stages an intra-mural boxing tour-
nament. These bouts also draw a great
attendance. The best of the intra-mural
teams, most of the talent for which comes
from Wisconsin high schools, become mem-
bers of the varsity team.

Obviously, the job of coaching boxing
at Wisconsin is helped a great deal by the
job of scouting. The boxing program in
Wisconsin may well be compared to base-
ball's farm system.

Some of the visiting coaches were critical
of Wisconsin dominating the tournament.
The Maryland contingent felt that, rather
than criticize the set-up that afforded Wis-
consin the talent with which to dominate
the tournament, it should be emulated.

It was felt that Wisconsin boxing en-
thusiasts would find it hard to believe that
Maryland, for instance, had won Confer-
ence Championships after a season in
which the total initial turnout for boxing
was less than fifteen men.

While Maryland boxing is not supported
with a state-wide and District of Columbia
high school program (there is no boxing
at all in the District schools), it is felt
that a large scale intra-mural tournament
would bring out more varsity talent. Such
a program needs more space for training
and competition than has heretofore been
available at College Park.

Wisconsin was the only team with an 8
man entry. Obviously that's smart. Teams
with smaller entry lists included: Bradley
Tech, California Aggies, John Carroll U.,
Kings Point, Idaho, Maryland, Miami,
Michigan State, Minnesota, Penn State,
San Jose State, South Carolina, Superior
(Wis.) Teachers, Syracuse, Virginia, Wash-
ington State.

Maryland boxers, as well at others, found
that the layoff between dual and confer-
ence meet competition and the Nationals
was no good for them.

It would seem that the best thing for
Maryland and similar schools would be to
arrange schedules so that they terminate
one week before the Conference meet and
that the Conference meet take place two
weeks before the Nationals Tournament,
thus eliminating a let down on training.

The dual meet season should be pre-
ceded by an all-out intra-mural tourna-
ment, from which varsity boxers are
barred. The semi-finals and finals of such
a tournament, it would seem, should be
public exhibitions.

FLUCIE STEWART

Basketball Coach who comes to Maryland from
Southern schools and U. S. Navy teams.

For the Nationals, if the team appears
to be qualified, a full team should be en-
tered.

Maryland representatives at the tourna-
ment invited home and home dual meet
competition with Wisconsin, Syracuse, Min-
nesota, and Michigan State.

Colonel Jack Harmony, for four years
boxing coach at Maryland, was elected to
the Rules Committee of the National Col-
legiate Athletic Association.

The National Collegiate Coaches Asso-
ciation held two lengthy meetings at Madi-
son. Their recommendations were sent
to the Rules Committee.

Maryland recommended an additional
class in boxing at 150 pounds.

The Rules Committee will, it is under-
stood, shortly announce that for next year
the weights will be changed to conform
to Olympic standards, as some teams may
be pointing for Olympic competition. The
coaches emphasized that in Olympic try-
outs collegiate boxers would be up against
the A. A. U. weight scales and three min-
ute rounds with small gloves.

It is understood that the weights for
next year's dual meets will be arranged by
mutual agreement between competing
schools, as to whether they wish to go
along with the old weights, plus an addi-
tional weight at 140 or 150, or whether
they wish to box at the Olympic weights.

Comparison is as follows: —

Collegiate weights, 125, 130, 135, 145,
(140 or 150 added by mutual agreement),
155, 165, 175, unlimited. Total 8 or 9
contestants.

Olympic weights, 112, 118, 126, 135, 147,
160, 175, heavyweight. Total of 8 weights.

The coaches association, by unanimous
vote and no arguments advanced to the
contrary, recommended the adoption, for
use in competition, of a light weight, tight
fitting helmet. The headgear is of light
leather, tightly laced to the head. It pro-
tects neither the nose, chin, nor jaw. It
does protect, with sponge rubber, the eye
brows, both ears, the back and top of the

head. The coaches have always been
against anything that would tend to "sis-
sify" boxing. They were all agreed that this
helmet would not slow down competition
and would not detract from convincing
punching, but would oiler protection
where it is needed and will do boxing, as
a spectator sport, a great deal of good.

At a dinner for those at the tournament
Athletic Director Harry Stuhldreher, of
Wisconsin, spoke of the introduction of
boxing in the Big Nine, predicting that
such schools as Michigan, Indiana, and
others would soon have boxing teams.
Minnesota's new team competed in the
tournament.

Dwelling on that subject Mr. Stuhldre-
her told the story of a dub golfer trying
to smack the ball off of an ant hill. A
swipe to the left tore up the ant hill and

HOUSTON ELDER

Backfield Coach on Maryland's Jim Tatum-Football
setup. Elder, a Kentuckian, was a star at Murray
State Teachers and later coached High School
teams. He served in the Navy and then was
Physical Education Director of Bartow County, Fla.
His Kentucky High School teams were great. More
recently Elder was scout for North Carolina State.
Elder is married and the father of two children.
He is 33.

scattered the ants. A belt to the right did
the same. Whereupon the Chief Ant an-
nounced, "If you guys do not want to get
the H — knocked out of you, you'd Bet-
ter Get On The Ball!"

Wisconsin knows that the way to get
ahead in boxing is to get on the ball. The
Badgers program shows the way.

CAGE COACH

Flucie Stewart, the big wheel in sports
at little Appalachian College of Boone,
N. C, has been named basketball coach
at the University of Maryland, succeeding
Burt Shipley.

Athletic Director Jim Tatum picked
Stewart from a number of applicants.
Tatum and Stewart are acquaintances of
long standing and Stewart's record at
Appalachian was a satisfactory recom-
mendation.

Stewart's basketball teams won the
North State (Carolina) Conference crown
in 1938-39, in 1939-40, and last season

when it won 18 of 23 games. Two years
ago the team was invited to the N. C. A. A.
tournament at Kansas City.

Stewart also coached football and his
1946 eleven won six of its nine games.

The new Terp mentor was graduated
from Furman University in 1932 after
participating in football, basketball and
baseball. He remained at Furman for
three years, handling the varsity basket
ball and freshman baseball teams. In 1935
he transferred to Appalachian, remaining
until after the 1940 basketball season
when he signed with Tampa University
to handle all sports.

The following March he was commis-
sioned a junior lieutenant in the Navy
and after taking part in the battles of
Tarawa and Saipan, was returned to in-
active duty with the rank of lieutenant
commander. He served as assistant coach
of football at Clemson during the fag end
of the '45 season and returned to Appa-
lachian in January, 1946.

BASEBALL

Drexel

Maryland University's 1947 baseball
team took the lid off the season by
drubbing Drexel Institute of Philadelphia
at College Park 11-3, on a belated winter
afternoon.

Southpaw Bon Keene opened for the
Liners on the mound and was credited
with the victory, although only going
three innings. Joe Fitzpatrick and Boots
Panella each worked three frames in the
victory.

The game was made erratic by the ex-
treme cold and the Old Liners' first six
runs were the result of four Drexel errors
and only two hits.

Rutgers

A smooth-working nine from Rutgers
University handed Maryland its first dia-
mond defeat of the season, blanking the
Terps 4-0 in the Liners' second game of
the year.

TERP TRAINER

Duke Wyre was trainer at Yale University for fifteen

years and moved to Holy Cross just before the

war as head trainer. He entered the Navy in 1942

for a three-year tour of duty.

Maryland was ineffectual at the plate,
and Norman Morton and Dick Weber
combined their hurling talents to let the
Liners down with only two bingles.

Meanwhile, the Scarlet pecked away at
the offerings of Bill Zupnik, John Bozely,
and Boots Panella for runs in the first,
third, fourth, and fifth innings. Zupnik
was the loser.

Harvard

Harvard University's Crimson put to-
gether a pair of two-run innings and a
three-run outburst in the seventh to hum-
ble Maryland 7-2 before 500 hometown
fans at College Park.

It was Maryland's second straight set-
back, and turned its season record to two
thumpings against a single victory.

Joe Fitzpatrick, making his second ap-
pearance on the mound for the Liners,
gave up four of the Harvard runs, two in
the first and another pair in the fifth, and
was charged with his first defeat of the
year.

Maryland's two runs came in the sixth
inning, but with that exception, the home-
towners again demonstrated their impo-
tence with the wood.

Dartmouth

Digging themselves out from under a
3-0 first inning Dartmouth avalanch,
Maryland's Old Liners hung on and then
came through with a big three-run sev-
enth inning to whip the Indians, 7-4, and
bring their season count to the .500 mark
with two wins and a pair of losses.

Bob Keene and Boots Panella held the
Green to seven hits, although Keene was
in trouble in the opening frame, and
Panella blanked the visitors during his
turn.

Maryland got two in the first, another
deuce in the fifth, and then won the
game in the seventh, when Stuffy Evans
pounded in two runs with a double and
then stole home to climax his best day
at the plate.

All told, Evans hammered in four tal-
lies and scored one himself. He had a
single and a double in two trips.

Michigan

Michigan's smart nine delivered the
Maryland club its third defeat in five
starts at College Park, thumping the
Liners, 5-1 behind the two-hit chucking of
Lynn Fancett and Al Wise.

Corky Anacker and Wayne Reynolds
managed the Terps' two singles, while
Harry Hughes and Art Letcher were pep-
pered about by the opposition.

Hughes left the game with the count
tied at 1-1 at the end of the fifth, and
the Wolverines promptly pushed across the
winning run off Letcher in the sixth.
Michigan added three more in the eighth
for good measure.

Maryland got its run in the fourth.

Baltimore Orioles

In a light-hitting but high-scoring affair,
the Orioles pushed the University of Mary-
land baseball team around for a 15-0 deci-
sion at the Baltimore Stadium. The Birds
had six hits.

George Cave hurled the entire seven
innings for the Flock, giving up four hits
and fanning five.

Harry Hughes started on the hill for
the Marylanders but was as wild as a
tourist sitting on a cactus. He was unable
to get past the first inning, during which
time he walked four and hit a batsman.
Crouthamel pitched the balance of the
contest.

Richmond

The University of Richmond baseball
team won on a forfeit from the University
of Maryland, 9-0, the game ending with
startling suddenness in the tenth inning
when Coach Burton Shipley, of Maryland,
called his team off the field.

The score was tied at 3-alI at the time,
but when Shipley withdrew his Terrapins
the officials awarded the game to Rich-
mond and the result will go down in the
record books as a 9-0 forfeit victory for
the Spiders.

With the count knotted, Dick Johnston,
first Terp up, drew a walk from relief
hurler Bill Finney. Nick Panella, Mary-
land pitcher, stepped to the plate, but on
the first pitch, Johnston was caught off
base and was called out by Umpire Charlie
Strain on a toss from Angelo Stein, Rich-
mond catcher, to Louis Miller, on first.

Johnston was irked at the decision and
protested strenuously. These views were
shared by several of his teammates and in
the resultant clamor Johnston was ordered
from the game.

This vexed the Maryland coach and he
took his club from the field.

Georgetown

Two timely hits by Shortstop Al Naples
in the last two innings enabled Georgetown
University's Hoyas to come from behind
and defeat the University of Maryland
Terrapins, 7-6, at the Georgetown Medical
Field.

Four unearned runs, stemming from six
errors and a walk in the fifth inning gave
the Terps a lead that they held until the
ninth. They were on top, 5-1, going into
the seventh. But the Hoyas came back
with two in that frame.

Trailing, 6-3, in the eighth, the Hoyas
scored twice more on successive triples by
Art Schult, Ray Corley and Naples.

The Georgetowners won the game in
the ninth, when with two outs and the
bases loaded, Naples cracked a clean single
to left, scoring Pete Baker, on by an
error, and Elmer Raba, who had walked.

Billy Carroll, who relieved starter Tom
Flynn in the eighth inning, received credit
for his third victory of the season. Nick
Panella, who came in for Maryland in the
seventh, was charged with the loss.

Richmond

Bill Finney, 18-year-old pitcher from
Fredericksburg, Va., held Maryland to a
single scratch hit as Richmond defeated
the Old Liners' baseball team 6-0.

Finney held Maryland hitless until the
eighth inning when Monk Rennard, bat-
ting for first baseman Bobby Keene, made
first on a slow infield roller.

The Old Liners sent in two pitchers
who gave up seven hits to Richmond.

LACROSSE

Harvard

Although Harvard displayed a more
rugged defense than any previous la-
crosse team from "the Squayah," Maryland
took an easy 15-2 victory over the Crimson
at College Park in the Old Liners' season
opener.

Jiles Freeman, speedy six-footer, paced
the Terp attack against Harvard with four
points. He twisted and dodged through
the Crimson's burly defense for three un-
assisted goals and played a bang-up de-
fensive game himself. Tom Hoffecker stood
out at goal and Rookie Charley Herbert
showed enough to mark him as a potential
star.

Harvard's attack was inept. At one
time the New Englanders had the ball in
Maryland territory with three Terps side-
lined by penalties and still couldn't score.

Duke

Maryland University avenged last year's
lacrosse upset to Duke University by de-
deating the Blue Devils 11-3, before 500
spectators in Duke Stadium.

The visitors, starting slowly, pulled away
from a first-period deadlock and were
never headed.

Jiles Freeman, high scorer with four
goals, put Maryland in front after a min-
ute of play, and Duke's Jim Corrigan
knotted the game at 1-1 four minutes
later.

In the second period, Maryland scored
twice to take a 3-1 half-time lead and then
poured in five goals in the third period to
put the game on ice before Duke could
score again.

Navy

Navy's lacrosse team scored three goals
in an overtime period to defeat Maryland
in a hotly contested match, 10 to 9.

The score was tied at 7 to 7 when the
regulation game ended, but Middies Lee
Chambers tallied twice and Jim Carrington
once to clinch the decision before Otto
Lundvall and Austin Barnhart, of Mary-
land, could register in the extra period.

The game was close all the way, with
Maryland gaining the lead twice and the
teams being deadlocked six times.

Ray Grelecki, Maryland attack, kept his
team in the game when he slammed one
past Goalie Dick Seth with only 43 sec-
onds to go and tied the score at 7-all.

Only a minute before, Midfielder Dave
Hunt had scored a long shot to give Navy
a one-point edge after the teams had been
tied since early in the fourth period.

Both of Chambers's goals came during
the fourth minute of the first half of the
ten-minute overtime period.

He lodged the first one past Goalie Tom
Hoffecker on a pass from Charlie Coulter
and the second on an assist by Stew
McLean.

Loyola

Tuning up for their traditional scrap
with Mount Washington, Maryland's Terps
brushed past Loyola of Baltimore, 10-2, at
College Park.

Maryland scored three goals in each the
first, third and fourth periods, and added
another in the second.

Otts Lundvall, lengthy midfield star, led
the attack with three goals.

MARYLAND SHOOTERS GRAB NATIONAL TITLE

Arthur Cook Tops One Of
Greatest Teams Of All
Time . . .

<By, yUerritt JuoaJon

LITTLE Arthur Cook, the mite with the
squeeky voice and the story-book rifle,
took himself up to Millville, New Jersey
last month to put the crowning light on
the most spectacular record in the history
of collegiate rifle competition and the
greatest winning streak in Maryland's color-
ful sports history.

Cook entered and won six shoulder-to-
shoulder matches and in doing so shattered
four world's records, which was something
not exactly new to his colleagues in the
business, the Maryland University Rifle
team, victor over 105 different teams in
its undefeated season.

The Old Liners, coached by Colonel
Harland C. Griswold, topped off their
team performances by winning the Na-
tional Intercollegiate Championship with
a new record of 1408.

A Great Marksman

Throughout the year Cook has been
the consistent leader in all competitions
and it was ironical that he faltered in
the Nationals and fired 186, runnerup to
team mate Emanuel Biguglio, who took
the individual title with a record 187.

In the Millville competition Cook broke
the record of 20 shots standing with a
score of 196 out of a possible 200. In addi-
tion he broke the record for 5 shots in
each of four positions with 199 points
scored out of a possible 200. These four
positions included prone, sitting, kneeling
and standing. The third record broken by
the Terp rifleman was for a combination
of ten shots prone, and ten shots standing
where he blasted out 198 from a possible
200. This included ten bulls eyes prone
and 9 bulls standing. The extra standing
shot was an eight-pointer. The final rec-
ord he shattered was that of 20 shots prone
where he fired the possible score of 200.

Results from the NRA judges as to
the selection of the current "Golden Bul-
let" team have not as yet been announced,
but it is certain that Cook will be a mem-
ber. It is also very probable that he will
be team captain, an honor a Maryland
student has not held to date.

Individual Honors

During the slack period toward the end
of the season, the team took time to fire
for individual NRA honors. Those who
have won the Distinguished Rifleman
Award are Dave Weber and Jack Wessen.
Additional awards were gained when Rob-
ert Bissell, Thomas Taylor, Emanuel Brig-
uglio, John Fawsell, Gail Feimster, Steven
Lemler, Robert Doty, Dave Weber, and
Jack Wessen won Expert Rifleman Awards.

A new angle in the University of Mary-
land shooting has been instigated in the
past few months in the activating of a

BIG SHOTS

Maryland's crack rifle team, which won 18 shoulder-to-shoulder matches before climaxing an undefeated
season by taking the national collegiate championship with a record-breaking score of 1,408. Walter
Bowling (top, second from left) hung up a new record of 287 in capturing the individual title. Others
(top, left to right) are Col. H. L. Griswold, coach; Joseph M. Decker and S/Sergt. Fay P. Morris, assistant
coach. Bottom (left to right), Arthur E. Cook, Emanuel Briguglio and Jack Wasson.

woman's rifle team. Special awards won
in this class were taken by Sherran Mc-
Bride and Ann Stone, who won the Sharp-
shooter awards.

Next season will see the Terps taking
to the rifles, with their team still number
one in the U. S. Although a few of the
old reliables will be gone, including Joe
Decker, the majority will return to the
University of Maryland. To replace those
graduating are many outstanding men fast
becoming proficient in the art of handling
a rifle.

RIFLEWOMEN

Forty-nine co-eds have voiced interest in
the Maryland University's Girls' Rifle team
being formed, by turning up for instruc-
tion at the shooting range in the basement
of the New Gym Armory.

Evidence in the form of accurately per-
forated targets shows the girls to be quick
to learn and steady on the trigger.

Matches will be scheduled with George
Washington University's Women's team,
some nearby high school teams which have

been competing for a couple of years, and
others when the girls are ready for extra-
mural encounters. The basis for choosing
the teams for matches will be the top ten
scores for the week preceding the sched-
uled match.

TENNIS

Princeton

Maryland's tennis team, displaying the
evident loss of last year's stars and
the lack of practice due to unconditioned
courts, lost its opening match of the season
to a well-balanced, clever Princeton team
on the College Park courts. The score was
9-0.

George Washington

Maryland won its second straight tennis
match of the season, defeating neighboring
George Washington, 6-3, on the College
Park courts.

Jim Render and Ed LaBerge led the
Liner victory, each taking his singles match,
and then teaming to capture the only
doubles match won by the victors

BURTON SHIPLEY RETIRES AS CAGE COACH

Burt Shipley, outgoing Maryland court coach, poses for a group picture with his last Old Line squad, the 1 946-47 outfit which he steared into the Southern
Conference Tournament. Bottom row, left to right — Vic Turyn, Bill Brown, John Shumate, Don Schuerholz, John Edwards, and Tommy Mont; second row —
Shipley, Bob Keene, Ed Waller, Carl Steiner, August Eichorn, and John Hunton; Third row — Jack Heise (Manager), Bill Poling, Fred Davis, Vernon Siebert,

Malvin Peck and Dick Mullins.

THE little man in the dark brown suit
has left his spot under the Coliseum
score board for good. Burt Shipley re-
signed as basketball coach at the close of
the past season after 23 years at the helm
of Maryland's court teams, thereby writing
"30" on the longest and one of the most
colorful coaching careers in the history of
the school.

His resignation from basketball does not
mean by any means that Maryland has
seen the last of the crowd-pleasing Shipley
antics. He will remain in charge of the
baseball team, which always has occupied
a soft spot in his heart. In addition to
his baseball chores, he will stay on as an
instructor in the department of physical
education.

It is only fitting that Burt Shipley
should remain with the University for
Ship has been around these parts since
he was four years old. His family moved
to College Park at that time from Harmon,
Maryland, and with the exception of a
nine-year span when he coached at Perkio-
men Prep in Pennsylvania, Marshall Col-
lege, the University of Delaware, and
served in World War I, Shipley has held
forth in College Park ever since.

16 Letters

Ship's coaching career is directly pro-
portional to the length of his undergrad-
uate stay at College Park, both of which
border on records. He entered the old
M.A.C. in 1908 and was not graduated
until 1914, a fact that is not to be taken
as a reflection upon his ability to absorb
education. At that time the institution
had "preparatory" and "subfreshman"
classes and Shipley entered the former
which automatically gave him six years
of athletic eligibility. During this time he
reaped the record number of sixteen ath-
letic letters, captaining the football, basket-
ball, and baseball teams and making all-

well-meaning hecklers, gathered largely
from among men he has coached, and his
followers seem to imply that he can per-
form miracles.

Ups and Downs

Ship has taken the bumps with the rest
of them in the coaching business, but if
there were a time to be singled out in his
life when he could be designated for that
moment as the happiest person in the
world it was January 21, 1932 when the
Old Liners defeated the Naval Academy,
26-15, at the dedication ceremonies of the
Ritchie Coliseum. A capacity crowd of
5,000 witnessed the dedication and the
Navy's subsequent defeat by the Southern
Conference championship five (Maryland
won the conference crown in 1931 when
it was composed of 23 schools). Governor
Albert C. Ritchie, for whom the coliseum
is named, attended the dedication along
with notables from all over the state.

Greatest national fame has come to the
Maryland mentor through three great men
whom he sent into the major baseball
leagues, Cherley Keller, Bozie Berger, and
Hack Wilson. Keller and Berger both
were diamond stars at Maryland, and Ship-
ley is said by many to be directly re-
sponsible for the greatness of Wilson. In
1923 Shipley managed the Martinsburg,
West Virginia team to a pennant and it
was there that he converted Wilson from
a catcher to the hard hitting outfielder
who ultimately became the National
League's leading hitter while starring with
the Chicago Cubs.

The above merely are glimpses from
the life of the outgoing cage coach. This
is not meant by any means to write finis
on the career of Burt Shipley, for he'll
be around for a long, long time with the
baseball team, and will remain always a
colorful, profitable page in the history
of Maryland University.

THESE Terrapins were Champions! Not
only Southern Conference Champions
but, after having won that title, they de-
feated a theretofore unconquered West
Point Army team that had just won the
Eastern Intercollegiate Championship. That
made the banging Terps all Eastern
champs, so to speak.

This team made the grade in spite of
tough luck. The season opened with Duke
at Durham, with Maryland on top 5 to 3.
Then followed three draws 4 to 4, with
Catholic University, Virginia at Charlottes-
ville and North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

Then the Terps took Rutgers, 6i/ 2 to li/.

For the Southern Conference title at
Columbia they nosed out a fine North
Carolina team by one point.

The Terps climaxed the season by whip-
ping West Point 4i/£ to $i/ 2 .

The 1939 Terps were short in the heavv-
weight department. They had game Her-
man Raisin who would fight on call but
did not have the stuff that makes for vic-
torv.

Outstanding on the Terps team were
three great southpaws, Benny Alperstein.
127, Frank Cronin, 155, and Newton Cox.
165.

Benny Alperstein won the 135 pound
Southern Conference title. In 1937 he won
the 135 pound National title and, in 1938.
at his proper weight, he took the 127 pound
National title.

Frank Cronin had finished three years
of competition as a great track star. He
turned out for boxing in his fourth and
only boxing year. He tackled great opposi-
tion in such fellows as Jimmy Hughes, a

knock 'em cold hitter from South Carolina,
Joe Bunsa of CUA, and Truman Southall
of Virginia. Frank never lost a round all
season. In his only year as a ringman he
accomplished the job of piling up an un-
defeated record and winning the Confer-
ence title. Cronin, a former Army major,
is now at Maryland as a Physical Educa-
tion instructor and assistant boxing coach.

Another great puncher — but we mean
he could hit — was Newton Cox. At first
lackadaisical about the game fistic Cox
wanted to be a first baseman. He was a
good first baseman. He was also a good
middleweight champion. Today Cox, now
at Maryland as a major in the Military
Department says, "I owe very much to box-
ing. Nearly every successful move I have
made since graduation can be traced in
whole or in part to boxing. Next to my
father the greatest man in my life was
Heinie Miller, our boxing coach. He taught
me just plenty and the lessons stuck."

Today Newt is good enough to go into
the training ring for three rugged rounds
with Ken Malone or any of them. He can
still fight and he can still punch. During
the war he boxed many exhibitions with
Billy Conn.

Several times during the last 1946-'47 sea-
son Cox, Cronin and Alperstein worked out
with the 1947 Maryland team.

In the Southern Conference Tournament
at Columbia, five Maryland boxers, mostly
due to butts, were out of the running early
in the Tournament. Little Bob Bradley,
127, who played the piano for the glee
club, looked like a real championship possi-
bility but he saw the tournament from
the bench, his eye butted wide open.

George Dorr, 118, who was good enough
to have defeated Davey Bernstein, national
champion from Catholic University, was
also out of the tournament as was Nathan
Askin, a tennis player turned boxer, who
went in at 145, ten pounds over where he
belonged.

So the Tournament rolled along and,
while other teams had seven and six men
in the running, Maryland always bobbed
up with the best three southpaws, Alper-
stein, Cronin, Cox. The question was,
"Where do you get those left handers? Do
they crawl out of the woodwork at College
Park?" Fact is Cronin is not a southpaw
at all. He was simply turned around that
way. It worked perfectly.

So the thing got down to the semi-finals.
Maryland had her three southpaws — Cox,
Cronin, Alperstein. Some North Carolina
guys fell by the wayside. The finals came
along. Maryland had her three southpaws
— Cronin, Cox, Alperstein. When the smoke
of battle had cleared away Maryland had
three southpaw conference champions,
Alperstein, Cronin, Cox. Also Maryland
had 15 points, no more, but that was 1
more than North Carolina had. It was
Maryland's second Conference Boxing title
and undefeated season.

Came then the post-season ruckus against
West Point, undefeated Eastern Intercol-
legiate Champions. Little Red Dorr lost
at 118. Bob Bradley, at 125, was winning
hands down when his eye was again butted
open. Army 2, Terps 0. It didn't look
good at all. Then southpaw Benny Alper-
stein got a cadet out of there. Nate Askin,
at 145, did the same. Frank Cronin took

out another. Newton Cox banged out yet
another. That made it 4 to 2. Bob Lodge
lost at 175. That made it 4 to 3 with
Army having a darned good heavy and
Maryland having none. Morty Steinbach,
175J4, went in and boxed the soldier a
draw. That made it 4i/ 2 Maryland, 3i/ 2
Army, concluding a great year in Maryland
boxing annals.

"M" DAY

Athletic Director Jim Tatum has under-
taken another project designed to inject
football spirit among the alumni; that is,
a spirit more concrete than that generated
in pre-game pep rallies and promptly for-
gotten after the game.

April 26 was set aside as "M" Day. The
old monogram winners who starred for the
Terps in bygone days were invited to be
the guests of the football squad. The fes-
tivities got under way with a luncheon,
followed by a meeting of all of the old-
time athletes. The varsity gridders put on
their usual Saturday inter-squad game.
After the scrimmage the alumni got to-
gether in the Coliseum, where they met
the football squad.

The alumni in every "big time" sports
school play a vital role in the success of
their alma mater.

They can form an effective scouting sys-
tem. It is impossible for Tatum's over-
worked staff to cover the state seeking
promising material. But if Maryland's for-
mer athletes can get a line on the top-
flight prep stars in their locality, convince
them of the merits of this school, and rec-
ommend them to the Terp grid mentor,
Maryland would annually reap the benefits
of a bountiful harvest of promising young
athletes.

GOLF

V.M.

OPENING of the golf season took place
at VMI with Maryland posting a
score of 6i/ 2 points against 2i/o by VMI.

The match was played in a steady drizzle
of rain and although the inclement weather
was a handicap, the showing was very
good. Reid Phippery turned in low score
of the day with 77. Bert Smiley was
second with 79.

Virginia

University of Virginia golfers defeated
Maryland 8i/ 2 to i/ 2 at Charlottesville, the
Old Liners picking up the fraction by
halving the second foursome point.

Tom Leonard, Virginia's No. 1 player,
shot a 74 to defeat Jack Call, whose 79
was low round for Maryland. Playing
second position, Virginia's Pat Janssen also
carded 74 to finish ahead of Lennie Leib-
man.

TELEVISION

Colonel Heinie Miller, head boxing
coach at Maryland, appeared on a national
television program last month. The pro-
gram originated at station WTTG (Du-
mont Laboratories), Washington, D. C,
consisted of a 15 minute interview by Ray
Michaels, well known radio sports an-
nouncer. The program consisted wholly of
a discussion on boxing and training there-
for.

KAMPUS KLOWNING

shorts on. But when he sat down
they split.

He ran an elevator in the Empire State

She soothed his troubled brow,

But I'm on my last lap now."

"If you're the game warden, Mister,
please come over to the house for my little
daughter's birthday party. I want you to
teach her some suitable games."

"Why the black crepe on the door — some-
body dead?"
"That's my roomate's towel."

Doctor to coroner, "I want to change
the death cerificate I gave you; put my
name in the space marked 'Cause of
Death.' "

A miniature cocktail; One drink and in

A colonel and a major were walking
down the street. They met many soldiers
and each time the colonel would salute,
he'd mutter: "So are you."

"Why do you always say that?" asked
the major.

"I was a private once and I know just
what they're thinking."

A fox is a fellow that finally gets what
the wolf went after.

Two campus vets were bragging about
their respective outfits. "When we pre-
sented arms," said the first one, "all you
could hear was slap, slap, click."

"With us, it was slap, slap, jingle," said
the other.

"Jingle? What was that?"

"Our medals."

"How did you get Junior to eat olives?"
"It was easy. I started him in on Mar-
tinis."

MORE ABOUT ALUMNI REORGANIZATION

SINCE the last issue of "MARYLAND,"
the Alumni Publication, in which ap-
peared a statement about alumni reorgan-
ization, written by the President of the
University, considerable progress can be
reported. One meeting of the Board of
Managers of the College Park alumni
group has been held at College Park at
which there was a general discussion of
plans. At this meeting it was decided to
call a joint meeting of representatives of
the Baltimore Alumni associations and Col-
lege Park.

On Monday, May 12, there met at din-
ner in Baltimore representatives of all
alumni groups, and a three-hour discus-
sion of plans for revivifying the alumni
association ensued. The central theme of
this discussion was the possible develop-
ment of a central organization that would
become effective in helping the University
and in disseminating to the alumni groups
more intimate knowledge of the policies of
the University. It was observed by both
the Chairman of the Board of Regents
and the President of the University, who
were present, that such a centralized
alumni group would also, undoubtedly, be
influential in shaping policies.

Those present at the dinner and the dis-
cussion afterward were: Dr. Marvin J.
Andrews, President of the Pharmacy
School Alumni Association, and Dr. Mat-
thias Palmer; Dr. Austin E. Wood, Presi-
dent of the Medical School Alumni Asso-
ciation; Dr. C. Adam Bock, President of
the Dental School Alumni Association, and
Dr. Arthur I. Bell, another officer of the
Association; Judge Eli Frank, of the Law
School Alumni; Miss Katherine Williams
and Miss Lenora Miller of the School of
Nursing Alumni Association. Representing
the College Park schools were: Austin C.
Diggs, Chairman Alumni Board of Man-
agers; Harry E. Hasslinger. Talbott T.
Speer, Hazel T. Tuemmler, Charles Koons,
Agnes G. Turner, Charles White, J. H.
Remsberg. and David Brigham, Executive
Secretary of the Alumni Association. In
addition to the above, Judge William P.
Cole. Chairman of the Board of Regents,
and President H. C. Byrd were present.

should organize separate alumni groups,
on a somewhat similar basis to the pres-
ent Baltimore groups, so that not only
would matters of University interest be
developed, but professional contacts also
be stressed.

3. The President of the University
was requested by the Medical, Pharmacy,
and Dental Schools to write letters to
the President of each of their associa-
tions and request that each association
elect three members to the general coun-
cil, the first meeting of the proposed
general council to be held on the morn-
ing of the Homecoming Football Game
at College Park next fall.

4. It was developed that the Law
School Alumni Association has, so far as
being an active, virile organization is
concerned, virtually ceased to function.
It was requested that Judge Frank talk
with Judge Niles and Dean Howell, with
a view to working out a plan for the
reorganization of the Law alumni.

">. The College Park Board of Man-
agers set a date for a meeting on May
22, at which ways and means of organ-
izing the various alumni groups to repre-
sent the colleges at College Park would
be discussed, planned, and put into
effect. Announcement of the results of
this meeting will appear in a later issue
of the Alumni Magazine.

In addition to the above definite actions,
many suggestions came out of the meet-
ing in Baltimore. Problems were presented
and discussed and suggestions offered for
solutions. It is likely that some of these
will be mentioned in the next issue of
"MARYLAND" following the meeting of
the College Park Board of Managers, but
it is also certain that some of the pro-
cedures suggested could not well be put
into effect until after the various College
Park groups and the Law group have been
organized and their representatives to the
Alumni Council elected, and until after the

Alumni Council itself actively begins to
function.

The need for a centralized Alumni Or-
ganization was stressed by every repre-
sentative present at the meeting in Balti-
more — in fact, all were enthusiastic that at
long last a definite and aggressive plan is
being made to coalese all alumni interests
into a living organism that should be of
great value to the University and the
alumni themselves.

It developed at the meeting that, acting
on the recommendation of Judge Cole and
President Byrd, the Board of Regents has
made available $30,000 to pay a Secretary,
to pay clerical help, to get out informa-
tional material, and to pay for a certain
number of issues of the alumni magazine,
in order to provide the organization and
incentives necessary to develop alumni
objectives.

Dave Brigham, of the Class of 1938, has
inspired everybody with confidence in his
ability to carry on successfully the work as
Secretary of the Association. He just has a
way of getting along with people, and
is highly intelligent. He understands or-
ganization, too, because he was Head of
the Public Relations Work for the Fed-
eral Government in the State of Missouri
before coming back home to the University
of Maryland. He is the son of the late
"Rube" Brigham, also an alumnus of the
University, who, before his recent death,
was Associate Director of Extension for the
U. S. Department of Agriculture.

The above constitutes the facts that are
available immediately, but in these pages
each month will appear a statement about
the progress that is being made.

NOTE: A mistake was made in the last
issue in stating that the $3.00 allocated
from any gift to a subscription to the
magazine would be deductible in income
taxes. This amount would not be de-
ductible, but the balance of any gift
to the University would be.

Out o£ the discussion arose several gen-
eral conclusions, as follows:

Council .then would become the alumni
governing body, to represent the whole
University, both as to shaping the pol-
icies of the University and as to the
translation of those policies to the vari-
ous alumni groups.

^■H.IE College of Education is main-
WL tained by the State of Maryland
to help the schools provide the best
educational opportunities possible for
Maryland boys and girls. Through edu-
cation the state seeks to assure equality
of opportunity and the effective use of
the privileges and responsibilities of
democracy.

The College of Education serves the
schools through preparing teachers,
conducting research, and providing
leadership.

The State Department of Education
and state teachers colleges have re-
sponsibilities closely related to those
of the College of Education. Many
other agencies — both public and pri-
vate — have responsibilities affecting the
schools. The College of Education co-
operates with all such agencies in
furthering the best interests of the
unsurpassed Resources.

Educational resources unsurpassed
anywhere in the world are utilized in
the college program. These include not
only the resources of the University of
Maryland, but those of the entire Balti-
more and Washington areas.

The College of Education is an in-
tegral part of the university. Students
in education secure their professional
courses in the College of Education, but
secure other courses in the other col-
leges. Students thus work under men
of exceptional ability in many differ-
ent fields, and mingle with other stu-
dents specializing in a wide variety of
areas.

In Washington, D. C, abundant

sources Available

sity's College of
Education

educational resources are available
near the University. National head-
quarters are maintained in Washing-
ton by many educational organizations,
including the National Education As-
sociation with its many departments,
and the American Council on Educa-
tion. Located here also is the U. S.
Office of Education, with specialists
and extensive facilities in a wide va-
riety of fields. The Library of Con-
gress, considered by . many to be the
greatest library in the world, is only
eight miles from the university campus.
Six other prominent universities are
located in Washington. Diplomats and
statesmen come as the whole world
looks to Washington for leadership,
and their coming brings organizations
with extensive education facilities.

Educational Program

The program of the college includes
an undergraduate program leading to a
bachelor's degree, and a graduate pro-
gram leading to a master's or doctor's
degree. The undergraduate program
emphasizes the education of teachers.
The graduate program includes the
continued education of teachers, and in
addition provides for the development

of specialists in comparative education,
educational administration, and guid-
ance.

Bachelor of Science

Many students in the College of Edu-
cation, especially during the summer
session, are graduates of two-or-three-
year curriculums in teachers colleges.
These students, chiefly elementary
teachers, pursue courses in the Univer-
sity of Maryland to complete four years
of undergraduate study. At the termi-
nation of their study, they are entitled
to a Bachelor of Science Degree in
Elementary Education. This degree
gives teachers the same status in school
systems as that accorded to holders of
the Bachelor of Arts or Science degrees.

Candidates for this degree are re-
quired to take work in English, science,
and the social studies. They usually
elect certain education courses to keep
abreast of developments in their teach-
ing fields. Many elementary teachers
take advantage of late afternoon, even-
ing, and Saturday classes offered by the
university in Baltimore as well as on
the campus.

Student Teaching

All students who wish to be certi-
fied for teaching positions must earn at
least four semester hours of credit in
student teaching. Many students are
now earning nine semester credits, and
this practice is being recommended for
all students. To earn this amount of
credit, the student teaches two hours
each day during one semester, and in
addition assists daily with extra curri-

One of the oldest buildings on the Maryland campus houses the administrative Headquarters of the College of Education. The activities of

cular activities or other school work.

Before students enroll for student
teaching, they must observe at least
20 hours in classrooms and make a
study of the curriculum and methods in
their teaching field. They must also
have a scholarship average which places
them in the upper four-fifths of their
university class, and a grade point
average of at least 2.275.

The College of Education is especi-
ally fortunate in receiving splendid co-
operation from Maryland and Wash-
ington schools in relation to student
observation and teaching. During the
past semester, student teachers have
taught in six schools in Washington,
three in Montgomery County, one in
Baltimore and three in Prince Georges
County. One student took a full teach-
ing load in the Damascus High School.
The fine spirit shown by the teachers
and principals in these schools receives
much praise from the student teachers,
and undoubtedly influences them to
look upon teaching with favor.

Educational Foundations

The college believes that a knowledge
of history of education, educational
philosophy, and foreign school systems
is an important aid to successful work
in any phase of teaching, research, and
administration. Eight advanced courses
and three graduate seminars are offered
in this field. The relationships between
the educational systems and the cul-
tures of various peoples, past and pre-
sent, are the recurring data of these
studies. The primary purpose is to edu-

cate teachers, school administrators,
and other educational specialists who
know the social processes by which
good school systems are developed and
who will thus be better fitted to help
build such systems in their own com-
munities.

Nursery School Education

Nursery School Education is now
recognized as an important part of the
educational program. It is in this
period that the foundation is laid for
later years. At this time, attitudes are
formed which can make for either a
good or poor em?tional adjustment

which will condition a child's ability
to learn.

The Nursery School Education pro-
gram consists of (1) an undergraduate
program for training nursery school
teachers, (2) extension classes for in-
service of teachers now employed in
nursery school work, and (3) study
group for parents. In addition to the
basic college program, the curriculum
in nursery school education consists of
courses in growth and development, the
sciences, psychology, home economics,
children's literature, creative expres-
sion in art and music, and nursery
school techniques. The students do ac-
tual teaching in nursery school and also
participate in parent conferences and
study groups. Beauvoir Nursery School
in Washington, the Kaywood Gardens
Cooperative, and the Calvert Hills Co-
operative Nursery Schools have been
used as teaching centers during the
past school year.

Extension classes, as a part of this
program, have been held in Central
High School in Washington one even-
ing a week each semester. During the
spring semester, a class in Nursery
School Techniques and one in Kinder-
garten Methods have been held at the
University of Maryland one evening a
week. Also, a project in child develop-
ment and parent education has been
sponsored by the university for a club
of Veteran's Wives.

Teacher Preparation

A university, being composed of
various departments and colleges, offers

L2]

superior advantages for the develop-
ment of the depth and breadth of
scholarship desired of secondary school
teachers in the academic fields. All
prospective academic teachers must
meet certification requirements in two
subject fields, that is, each student
must be prepared to teach in the fields
of his major and minor subjects. Eng-
lish has probably been the most popular
of the academic fields, but many stu-
dents have been prepared to teach
mathematics, social studies, science, and
foreign languages. At the present time,
several of the academic majors are
looking forward to the teaching of more
classes in Maryland secondary schools.

Art Education

Offerings in art education are plan-
ned to meet the growing demand for
teachers who can direct art activity.
Emphasis is placed upon ways to draw-
out and develop the creative inclina-
tions of beginners; to integrate art
and other areas of study; and to
utilize art in solving social problems
and in developing a philosophy by
which to live. The art courses and
curricula have been carefully selected
and designed for living and for earning
a living in Maryland.

Physical Education

The purpose of the department of
Health, Physical Education and Re-
creation as it relates to the College of
Education is to prepare graduates to be
teachers of physical education and
Health in public schools, private schools
and colleges, and to be leaders in re-
creational programs in rural and urban
communities, camps, and industries.

The objectives of the program are to
give a basic knowledge of the principles
of physical education as a part of edu-
cation; to maintain and promote physi-
cal fitness; and to provide opportunity
for the development of leadership and
individual personality.

The program consists of two years
of basic general education followed by
specialization during the junior and
senior years in any of the four areas
the individual may choose: health edu-
cation, physical education, recreation,
or pre-physical therapy.

The extra-curricular program spon-
sored by the department, includes in-
tramural competition in hocky, basket-
ball, bowling, volleyball, softball, tennis,
badminton, golf, track, table tennis,
archery, riflery, wrestling, swimming,
boxing, and handball. For all those
interested in the modern dance, oppor-
tunity is offered for participation in
annual dance recitals and in the May
Day Festival.

Extramural sports competition is
provided for women in the form of
Sports Day with nearby colleges. A
separate extramural program is pro-
vided for men.

The department offers guidance to

each major student in a series of indi-
vidual and group conferences in the
belief that each student may profit from
knowledge of his own strengths and
weaknesses.

All women majors are members of
the Physical Education Club which
meets regularly for improvement of
social as well as professional relation-
ships.

In addition to preparing teachers, the
department serves the State of Mary-
land through its major students and
graduates who act as playground di-
rectors and summer camp counselors.
Agricultural Education

In cooperation with the College of
Agriculture, a specialized program is
offered for teachers of agriculture.
Students desiring to major in agricul-
tural education begin a specialized pro-
gram not later than the first semester
of their junior year.

Majors in agricultural education do
their student teaching during the first
semester of the senior year. Full-time
is devoted to student teaching for five
weeks. A special schedule is set up so
that the course work can be successfully
completed during the remaining eleven
weeks of the semester. The second

semester of the senior year is devoted
to intensive study of agricultural edu-
cation.

Business Education
Business education in its broadest
sense is identified with every phase of
education; it is identified with all learn-
ing that will in one way or another help
prepare the individual to deal more
effectively with the economic problems
of life.

A/eut Afency Added

The INSTITUTE FOR CHILD STUDY

IN September the University of
Maryland will add another to its
many agencies that serve the people of
the state. It will establish an Institute
for Child Study in the College of Edu-
cation. Tailor-made to help the public
schools of the state, the Institute will
have four major purposes: (1) It will
carry on a program of research de-
signed to give the public schools and
the people of the state a clearer picture
of the needs of Maryland's children;
(2) It will digest continuously the lat-
est findings in the dozen different
sciences that study children, will try
to make sense out of the welter of
technical words and figures in these
scientific writings and to communicate
this sense to the teachers of the state —
later it hopes to include the parents,
too; (3) It will carry on an in-service
training program, already begun under
the sponsorship of the State Depart-
ment of Education, that will help Mary-
land teachers learn how to interpret the
causes behind the behavior of their in-
dividual pupils and how to figure out
ways of helping these different children
to learn more, behave better, and de-
velop stronger characters and better ad-
justed personalities;. (4) It will train
experts in child development to do prac-
tical consultant work in public schools.
These may seem very large and ambi-
tious promises, but eight years of ex-
perimentation in various parts of the
country and a two-year start in Mary-
land indicate that they can be fulfilled.

Millions of Dollars

During the past twenty-five years
millions of dollars in money and mil-
lions of hours of the time of individual
scientists have been spent in studying
human beings. Tremendous progress
has been made in finding out how the
body grows and functions and what
care, nourishment and activities are
necessary to its full and healthy de-
velopment. We also have learned much
about children's need for love, about the
kinds of family life that give them a
good start, about the kinds of home in-
fluences that lead to maladjustment and
warping, and about how to counteract
these influences. Cultural anthro-
pology, sociology, and social psychol-
ogy have studied how children take
on the customs, attitudes, skills, and
views of life of the segments of
society to which they belong and
about how schools and other social in-
stitutions can help them learn to be-

have discovered much about how people

possession of the teachers of our child-
ren. Nor is it adequately being taught
to students preparing for teaching. The
implications of this knowledge for the
way schools operate have not been
worked out. The kinds of records that
schools need to help understand indivi-
dual children have not been ascertained.
The ways in which teachers and par-
ents can best work together for the
wholesome development of children
have not been perfected. The scientific
coordination of the work of schools with
that of physicians, clinics, social agen-
cies, churches and courts has not been
accomplished. In other words scientific
knowledge exists now which, if applied,
would greatly improve the effectiveness
of public education without adding
materially to its costs.

Knowledge Not Available

Blame for failure to modify school
practice in the ways implied by this
recently discovered knowledge must not
be placed at the door of state and local
education authorities, however. The
knowledge has not been available to
them. Research findings in each science
are reported in the highly technical
special vocabulary of that science and
are therefore not readily understand-
able by lay persons. Furthermore, most
scientists have to be specialists doing
intensive research in a very narrow
field of the total area of human de-
velopment and behavior — their separate
bits of research, so vital when re-
ceived as part of a total whole, are of
little value to educators as independent
bits of information. It follows that two
tasks remain to be done before research
findings can be used as guides to
changed educational practice. The re-
search findings in the various limited
areas have to be combined and inter-
related to give a broad comprehensive
picture of how children develop. Then
this comprehensive set of explanatory
generalizations must be stated in non-
technical language that can be read
with understanding by teachers and
school administrators. This task of
collation, translation and integration is
a tough one and a continuing one. So
far it has not been done with very
great sucess at any of our university
centers. Indeed, most of us would
rather do original limited research
than stick out our necks by attempts
at comprehensive statements of truth.
The staff of the Institute for Child
Study will approach this task with

trepidation but feels that it must be
done as soon as possible.

The American Council on Education,
with headquarters in Washington, D.
C, is a national association of public
and private institutions of higher edu-
cation and of public school systems.
Its aim is to analyze the needs of
American education, to plan and to
secure support for necessary research
and experimentation. In 1938 it estab-
lished a Commission on Teacher Edu-
cation — Dean Harold Benjamin of the
University-of-Maryland College of Edu-
cation was a member — to guide experi-
mentation seeking improvements in the
education of teachers. Twenty univer-
sity and collegiate institutions, four-
teen groups of school systems, and
three state systems of education were
selected to undertake correlated and co-
operative experiments. Several millions
of dollars were granted by the General
Education Board, one of the Rocke-
feller foundations, to cover the costs of
making the best resources available on a
national scale. From the outset, this
Commission was conscious of the tre-
mendous backlog of unused scientific
knowledge that was available for the
improvement of educational practice.
It, therefore, sought to make this know-
ledge accessible to colleges and public
schools and to encourage experiments
to find out the best means of dis-
seminating it.

At University of Chicago

The Commission established a Divi-
sion on Child Development and Teacher
Personnel with headquarters at the
University of Chicago, which supplied
space and other services without cost
in order to further the work. The first
task was to build up a center of docu-
mentation made up of hundreds of
books and magazines and thousands of
reprints of scientifie articles covering

more than .a dozen sciences that inves-
tigate child growth, learning and be-
havior. Then selected professors from
cooperating colleges and universities
and selected personnel from coopera-
ting school systems were brought to
the University of Chicago to spend a
full academic year in studying these
research findings, in consulting with
the scientists who had done the re-
search, and in planning ways of com-
municating the new knowledge to stu-
dents and teachers. The Commission
sent three groups on successive years
to carry on this collaborative study and
the University of Chicago has continued
to make these resources available to
additional groups of competent persons
since the w r ork of the Commission ter-
minated. In this way between 60 and
70 teachers of teachers have broadened
the basis of the scientific knowledge
they are communicating in half a hun-
dred institutions of higher education.

Insightful Teachers

Another thing the Commission did
was to experiment with ways of Com-
municating this knowledge to teachers
in service out in the fourteen groups
of cooperating school systems. Most of
the traditional ways we tried met with
but indifferent success. But one group
of insightful teachers insisted that we
help them understand some of the indi-
vidual children in their classrooms
rather than learn scientific principles as
such. In three years this group of
teachers had made conspicuous progress
not only in understanding their pupils
but also in the amount of new know-
ledge they had acquired and in the de-
velopment of their capacities to figure
out ways of helping children.

The last five years have been spent
in perfecting this pattern of profession-
al growth in service and in trying it
out in city and rural schools in various

[5]

parts of the country. It is called a
Child Study Program and is exactly
what the name implies. Children are
studied with a view to understanding
their motivation, capacities, and needs.
Scientific methods of learning about
them are practiced until they become
habitual in teachers and established
explanatory principles are learned as
the basis for interpreting the Children's
motivation and needs. Then plans are
made for helping the children to take
their next steps in learning and grow-
ing, the results are checked, and plans
are modified as new knowledge is ac-
quired and new insights obtained. At
the present moment our staff is helping
about 6000 teachers in 58 counties in
11 states to carry on this program
of child study.

Dr. Theresa Wiedefeld

Three years ago Dr. Theresa Wiede-
feld, President of the State Teachers
College at Towson, organized a series
of meetings to discuss the outcomes of
the work of the Commission on Teacher
Education. In this way the nature and
purposes of the "child study program"
were brought to the attention of the
educators of the state and attracted
their interest. Its effectiveness in other
places was investigated and evaluated,
and the State Department of Educa-
tion decided to sponsor its introduction
into Maryland in connection with the
work of the supervisors of elementary
schools. It proved so interesting and
valuable that it spread rapidly into
secondary schools, and at the present
moment about 2500 teachers all over
the state are working hard at building
up their scientific knowledge and using
it to help them deal more effectively
with the pupils in their classrooms.

and of the school people of the state,

Educational Resources At Maryland

Library of

Other Facilities
In Nation's Capital
As Well As In

Facilities

By Norman E. Bliss

Full-Time Graduate Student

On leave from Cooke School,

Washington, D. C.

ONE of the greatest assets of the
University of Maryland is its
nearness to the City of Baltimore and
to Washington, D.C. The proximity to
these two cultural centers assures stu-
dents access to a wealth of materials
in libraries, museums, art galleries,
governmental buildings, and in the
headquarters of many national organi-
zations.

Among the many resources in vVash-
ington, those of special importance to
students include the following: the Li-
brary of Congress, the U. S. Office of
Education, the National Education As-
sociation and its many departments, the
American Council on Education, The
Smithsonian Institute, Folger Shakes-
peare Library, the Pan-American
Union, the National Archives Build-
ing, the Textile Museum, the four
great art galleries, the Lincoln Mu-
seum, the National Academy of Science,
the Brookings Institute, the Carnegie
Institute of Washington, the National
Geographic Society, the American Phar-
maceutical Association, the American
Forestry Association, the Interstate
Commerce Commission, the six other
universities located in Washington, and
many other institutions, agencies, and
associations for educational, scientific,
and cultural purposes.

In Baltimore

In Baltimore, the many resources in-
clude the Enoch Pratt Free Library,
the Peabody Conservatory of Music,
and Peabody Library, the Baltimore
Museum of Art, the Municipal Art Mu-
seum, the Walters Art Gallery, the
Maryland Institute of Art, the Sidney
Lanier Museum, the Maryland Aca-
demy of Sciences, several prof >ssional
schools of the University of Maryland,
the Johns Hopkins Medical School, the
Johns Hopkins University Schools, the
University of Baltimore, and three
other prominent colleges.

Unsurpassed library facilities a

each of the facilities impractical. This
article is therefore limited to a de-
scription of three resources readily ac-
cessible from the College Park campus
and of special importance to students in
education: the Library of Congress; the
Library of the U. S. Office of Educa-
tion; and the National Education As-
sociation.

Library of Congress

The Library of Congress, is housed in
an imposing building located approxi-
mately eight miles from the university.
Separating the library from the Capi-
tol is a small, but beautiful park. In
the park is a massive elm tree, which
was planted by George Washington at
the laying of the corner stone for the
Capitol.

Marylanders may well feel proud of
the role played by Robert Wright of
Queenstnwn, Maryland, in the develop-
ment of the Congressional Library.
Wright, who had served in the Conti-
nental Army before his election to Con-
gress, was an outstanding advocate of
the purchase by the government of
Thomas Jefferson's personal book col-
lection. During the War of 1812 the
British had burned part of the Capitol
and had destroyed all of the books be-
longing to Congress. In 1814, Thomas
Jefferson, being financially embar-
ressed, offered his collection of 6,487
books for purchase by the government.

LIBRARY OF CONGRESS

re available to Maryland students.

It was only after much persuasion by
Wright and others that Congress fin-
ally approved the purchase of Jeffer-
son's books* for $23,950. The bill
authorizing the purchase passed by a
narrow margin of ten votes, the oppo-
sition objecting that many of the books
were in a foreign language, and that
much of the material was literary in-
stead of being legal or historical.

The Jefferson Books

The purchase of the Jefferson books
■ initiated a change in nature of the
Library of Congress from a special to a
general collection. These six thousand
books, mostly hand-picked by Jefferson
from the bookstalls of Paris, formed a
firm sub-stratum for the Library as we
know it today.

For many years the growing collec-
tion of books for Congress was housed
in poorly lighted, ill-ventilated rooms in
the Capitol. Several fires retarded the
growth of the collection. One confla-
gration, in 1851, destroyed 35,000 vol-
umes. The blaze began on a bitterly
cold Christmas Eve, and the efforts
of the firemen were almost useless be-
cause of the freezing of the hoses.
"But the situation was saved," ac-
cording to a newspaper of that time,
"when the frozen hoses were put back
in order and rendered unfreezable by
the use of whiskey." We owe no little

[8]

thanks to sacrificing citizens who gave
up their "liquid spirits" on Christmas
Eve in order to save the majority of
the Library's books.

By 1882 the Library of Congress was
bursting its seams in the three rooms
it occupied in the Capitol. In that year
it was proposed in Congress, in all
seriousness, to jack up the Capitol
dome fifty feet in order to make more
library space. General Meigs, Capitol
Engineer, quickly discouraged this idea
for reasons of safety. Four years later,
a bill was passed to allow the construc-
tion of the present main building, which
was completed and occupied in 1897.

Important Position

The place of the Library of Congress
in higher education today is very im-
portant. According to Luther Evans,
present Librarian of Congress, "No
university library can hope to purchase
and place under adequate bibliographi-
cal control all of the recorded informa-
tion necessary to meet the demands of a
dynamic and productive university."
The Congressional Library, as the
great national library, assumes much of
this obligation by offering its facilities
and services to its fellow institutions,
which include the university libraries.

At present the Library of Congress
is cooperating with the U. S. Office of
Education in an effort to increase the
effectiveness of its service to education.
The Office of Education appoints
specialists from its staff as Fellows of
the Library. These specialists recom-
mend the acquisition of materials which

ii would be impossible or impractical
for the Office of Education to acquire
for its own library. Such materials are
then made available to the Office of
Education on long-term loans.

The nation's scholars have always
been encouraged to visit the library
and employ its facilities. In average

provided for with special private study
rooms convenient to the stacks, and
more scholars will be provided for in
the future.

The Library is well able to assist the
scholar in locating materials not in its
own collections. The Union Catalog,
maintained by the Library, contains
over 13,500,000 card entries of ma-
terials to be found in other research
libraries of the nation.

Library of U. S. Office of Education

A little over a mile due west of the
Library of Congress is located the ex-
cellent Library of the United States
C ffice of Education. This in one of the
largest education libraries in the world,
and its 325,000 volumes make up a valu-
able storehouse of information on the
educational history of mankind. These
materials include books, reports, pam-
phlets, catalogs, school journals, and
monographs on educational subjects.

This library was established with the
primary purpose of providing reference
materials for employees of the govern-
ment who might be working on sub-
jects touching the field of education.
However, it has been the policy to
make the facilities of the Library avail-
able to all investigators whether they
?ve connected with the government or
not.

It is interesting to find that thi.>
large library had its beginnings with
the personal books of Henry H. Barn-
ard. Dr. Barnard, who was the first
Commissioner of Education, brought his
own books when he was appointed in
18(57. Upon his retirement, this small

but select collection was purchased by
the government and thus became the
nucleus of the Education Library.
Thanks to the ability of Dr. Barnard
to recognize and select books of great
educational value, the collection pro-
vided an excellent foundation. Under
the direction of succeeding commission-
ers, it grew in size and usefulness.

Special Collections

There are now many special collec-
tions which the library makes available
to students of education. Valuable to
the scholar working on the history of
American education are the old reports
of state departments of education, the
bound volumes of educational maga-
zines, and the records of the proceed-
ings of state teachers associations.

Persons studying higher education
have found the file of reports and cata-
logs from colleges to be valuable in
such subjects as the history of particu-
lar institutions, of curriculum develop-
ment, of standards, and of the contri-
butions of outstanding college presi-

dents. In tracing the history of higher
education for women, the proceedings
and reports of such organizations as the
American Women's Educational Asso-
ciation, founded by Catherine Beecher
in 1853, are also helpful.

The Education Library is well sup-
plied with materials on comparative
education, much of it in the form of
official foreign documents, bound vol-
umes of foreign educational periodicals,
and catalogs and histories of colleges
and universities of other countries.

In addition to materials on educa-
tional history and comparative educa-
tion, the library offers current year-
books of national education associa-
tions, and new books in school admin-
istration, progressive education, child
study, child psychology, and educational
theory and practice.

National Education Association

The National Education Association,
with its headquarters at 16th and M
Streets in Washington, D. C, must be
given consideration in any discussion of
resources for education students. Since
its official birth in 1870, the N.E.A.,
iargest professional education associa-
tion in the nation, has had a colorful
history which has included financial
difficulties, struggles between different
groups for power in the organization,
charges of dictatorship by administra-
tors, and other matters of contention.

But in spite of these rough spots, the
Association has continued to grow. To-
day it numbers an active membership
of over 330,000 persons and includes
twenty-eight major departments. With
its numerous committees, commissions
and councils, the N.E.A. carries out a
dynamic program for the betterment of
the schools and the profession. The
basic platform of this program is the
proposition that "Education is the in-
alienable right of every ^merican; that
k is essential to our society for the pro-
motion and preservation of democratic
ideals."

GRADUATE TRAINS SALESGIRLS

Mrs. Patricia Hazel, who graduated in busi-
ness education in 1943, is now Assistant Train-
ing Director at Lansburgh and Brothers, one
of Washington's largest department stores.

The program of service, under the
various departments of the association,
covers almost every phase of education.
Elementary and secondary curriculum,
juvenile delinquency, adult education,
teacher's salaries, health, handicapped
pupils, and veteran's education are just
a few of the problems receiving direct
attention at the present time. With
specialists and materials in a wide
variety of fields, the N.E.A. has facili-
ties not duplicated elsewhere.

The Best

Washington, with its wealth of of-
ferings for students in all fields, offers
particularly abundant resources in edu-
cation. A student at the University of
Maryland, therefore, has an opportun-
ity to utilize resources unequalled in
any other part of the United States.

OFFERINGS AT GRADUATE LEVEL

OFFERINGS at the graduate level
in the College of Education are
designed to help teachers and adminis-
trators keep abreast of significant de-
velopments in their fields of speciali-
zation. The chief concern in setting up
requirements for the graduate degrees
is school improvement through the im-
provement of teaching and administra-
tive personnel. Candidates for advanced
degrees in Education are allowed much
latitude in pursuing courses in other
colleges of the university, since it is
recognized that professional improve-
ment in a complex technological society
requires the extensive resources of the
whole university.

At Various Levels

The offerings of the College of Edu-
cation include courses for elementary,
secondary, and junior college teachers
and administrators. For each level,
courses are concerned with history and
philosophy of education, sociological
and psychological foundations of educa-
tion, methods in specific teaching areas,
curriculum making, child study and
guidance, supervision, and administra-
tion. At the elementary level, profes-
sional courses include recent develop-
ments in physical education, art, music,
and the social studies, as well as basic
techniques in the time-honored areas
of reading, language and arithmetic.
At the secondary level, offerings in
business education, home economics edu-
cation, and industrial arts are con-
sidered to be especially important.
Since teachers are essentially personnel
workers, regardless of grade level or
subject matter area, much stress is
placed on the study of human growth
and development.

The College of Education has recently
added the Doctor of Education degree
to three other degrees — the Master of
Arts, the Master of Education, and
the Doctor of Philosophy. Although this
new degree is basically comparable to
the Doctor of Philosophy degree, it
gives the candidate somewhat greater

freedom to shape his graduate study to
meet the particular needs of the posi-
tion in which he is working. For ex-
ample, the foreign language require-
ment is optional, and instead of a
thesis, the students may record a "field
study" which is conducted to solve a
particular problem in his school system.
Several of the leading universities are
now offering this degree, and in this
region teachers and administrators
have repeatedly urged that opportuni-
ties leading to it be provided at the
University of Maryland. Beginning in
September 1947, several teachers and
administrators will be doing work to-
ward the degree either on a part-time
or on a full-time basis.

Master of Education

The Master of Education degree is
taken by approximately two-thirds of
the candidates for the Master's degree
in the College of Education. This de-
gree was introduced several years ago
for students who felt a greater need
for additional courses relating to their
teaching problems than for the research
work required with a Master of Arts
degree. Candidates for this degree as
well as candidates for the Master of
Arts degree may take from one-third to
one-half of their course work in other
departments of the university accord-
ing to their needs. In planning summer
session offerings, all colleges and de-
partments are concerned with the de-
velopment of courses which are of
special interest to teachers.

At the June commencement 1947,
the Master's degree was conferred on
approximately 65 candidates in the Col-
lege of Education. During the summer
session, at least 35 students will com-

plete requirements for the degree, rais-
ing the number to receive the master's
degree through the College of Educa-
tion to at least 100 during the school
year. Among the graduates are teach-
ers in elementary and secondary
schools, principals of elementary and
secondary schools, counselors, and in-
structors in colleges and universities.
Candidates for the degree are primarily
from Maryland and the District of
Columbia, but at least nine other states
and a foreign country are represented
by the graduates this year.

To make courses readily available to
teachers in Maryland and the District
of Columbia, the College of Education
offers late afternoon and evening
classes and Saturday classes through
its Baltimore Division as well as on the
campus at College Park. These courses
are considered to be important responsi-
bilities of the regular members of the
staff. Furthermore, in developing these
courses, an attempt is made to capita-
lize on the unique advantages of this
area for graduate study by calling in
leaders in education from Washington,
D. C.

Searching Examination

The process of meeting the require-
ments for a master's degree in the Col-
lege of Education is not only one of
developing the necessary number of
credits. Applicants for the degree must
pass a searching qualifying examina-
tion before they can be admitted to
candidacy. Then, upon completion of
the work, each candidate is given an
oral examination over course work and
the thesis or the seminar paper de-
pending upon the degree for which the
applicant is a candidate. Likewise,
applicants for the doctor's degree must
pass a preliminary examination before
being admitted to candidacy a final
written examination in the major field,
and a final oral examination over the
minor field and the thesis or the field
study, according to the degree for which
the student is an applicant.

Saskatchewan: Bread and a Prayer

AGRICULTURAL
EDUCATORS
TRYING TO
RE-DESIGN
COMPLICATED
PATTERN

By Gladys A. Wig gin

(Based on Agriculture Adult Education Pro-
grams in Saskatchewan, doctoral dissertation,
University of Maryland, June, 1947.)

MAN does not live by bread alone,
even in Saskatchewan, Canada,
in this western prairie province dedi-
cated to the growing of wheat, the-
people, the land, and a foreign market
are woven into a complicated pattern
which agricultural adult educators are
trying to re-design. Although wheat
provides 45 per cent of Saskatchewan's
income, it recedes in importance as one
examines the human and natural ele-
ments found in this "Heart of Canada's
West."

Southern Saskatchewan (the inhabit-
ed portion) is an extension of that high
plateau and great plains area in which
North Dakota and Montana alas lie
just south of the international boun-
dary. Saskatchewan's settling was an
extension of America's West into the
twentieth century. In response to agents
of the United States and Canada,
European settlers came looking for land
in the last quarter of the nineteenth
century and the first decades of the
twentieth. Many journeyed through
Canadian and United States ports into
the rich lands of Alberta, Saskatche-
wan, and Manitoba. Frederick Jackson
Turner's frontier in the United States
had closed in 1890; but land-hungry
people could still find opportunities in
the Canadian West. Turner's suc-
cessive front : ers of fur trapping, ranch-
ing, and farming were repeated in
Saskatchewan, and some of each are
still to be found in this province which
has not yet completely fulfilled its first
geographic- destiny.

Later Than United States
Because the settling of Saskatchewan
was later than that cf the United
States, it received the later German and
Slavic immigrants from Europe. Many
of the same Scandinavians who had
come to the United States in the last
half of the nineteenth century also
came up into Canada. However,' that
wave of immigration had begun to level
off when Saskatchewan was being popu-
lated. This prairie province received
instead many British people, German
Mennonites, Ukranians, Russian Dunk-
hcbais, Dutch, Poles and French.

students but

In the first decade of the twentieth
century there happily converged a set
of circumstances which were to control
the character of Saskatchewan's econo-
my. Settlers began to arrive in large
numbers. The railroads sprawled
across the Southern plains and sent
their branch lines to Prince Al-
bert and other convenient points.
The rains came and the harvests
were good. It became known that
the application of the principle of the
summer fallow might solve the problem
of farming in the semi-arid prairies.
With the meeting of these elements and
stimulation in various ways from the
Dominion government, Saskatchewan
soon developed into the largest wheat-
producing province in Canada.

To all outward appearances the peo-
ple and the land had solved the prob-
lem of Saskatchewan's place in the
Canadian economy. From 1905 (and
earlier) when the province was sepa-
rated from Northwest territories, until
recent times, however, there have been
increasingly ominous signs of serious
maladjustments.

Farmers Protest

As early as 1906 farmers of the three
prairie provinces registered their pro-
tests against railroads and elevator
companies which they believed were
absorbing more than a just share of
profits from wheat. Through the suc-
ceeding years until 1924 when farmers
established their own Saskatchewan
Wheat Pool to market their grain,
they fought a bitter battle to control
the price and grading of their export
staple.

Although the first years of the wheat
economy enjoyed favorable climatic con-
ditions, the 1910's and especially the
193()'s brought serious droughts against
which not even the tested principle of
summer fallowing appeared to prevail.

The scorching sun and dry winds,
coupled with a serious depression, re-
duced the wheat economy to a shambles.
In 1938 approximately 35 per cent of
the people of Saskatchewan were on
relief.

During the years of the second
world war, Saskatchewan recovered in
an unnatural boom, as did most agri-
cultural countries. Since the war, cer-
tain favorable export treaties, particu-
larly with Great Britain, have con-
tinued to buoy the economy.

Recall Lean Years

Agricultural adult educators, how-
ever, do not wish to take any chances.
They remember the lean years of 1931-
1941 when Saskatchewan lost an esti-
mated 15 per cent of her population,
as well as a considerable proportion of
her revenues. They know that a world
depression will rapidly deflate an econo-
my built almost wholly on an export
market. They sense, though they do not
express it in words, that Saskatchewan
is the captive of a one-crop economy.
With monotonous regularity, farmers
year after year raise wheat, whether
the market, climate or soil warrant it.

For these reasons, since the early
1930's and particularly since 1944 when
a new government came into power,
agricultural adult educators have been
developing a more clearly defined pro-
gram for bolstering the wheat economy.

For this task, the agricultural adult
educators possess what they believe to
be the right kind of scientific informa-
tion. Research workers after studying
minutely the soil types in the inhabited
portion of Saskatchewan have reported
that farmers have broken to the plow
many acres unsuitable for cultivation.
These non-arable areas, however, will
support livestock. Judicious growing
of forage crops will improve other acres

[12-

and also provide feed for bacon hogs
for which there is a waiting British
market. Poultry and dairy products can
be profitably raised on most farms.
Many types of fruits and berries as
well as vegetables can be readily grown
in this cold area. The Dominion govern-
ment will provide liberal assistance on
water-development projects. Saskatche-
wan can cushion her economy, so these
researchers imply, by diversifying her
agriculture.

More Security

Fortified with this scientific informa-
tion, agricultural adult educators have
taken as their point of departure the
developing of a happier and more se-
cure life for Saskatchewan farm fami-
lies. To secure the good life, say they,
farmers must diversify, must learn to
use their land more profitably, must
participate more actively in solving
their own problems. To help them do
these necessary jobs, there are three
basic types of agencies with several
others of a secondary nature.

The Agricultural Representative Ser-
vice which is now the Saskatchewan
Co-operative Agricultural Extension
Program is established under the pro-
vincial Department of Agriculture.
Thirty-six field men under the direction
of a director, an assistant director and
four supervisors perform functions
closely akin to those of the county agent
in the United States. To assist them in
their several districts, they have local
committiees of farmers, district boards,
and a provincial advisory council.

The bias of the men in the Agri-
cultural Representative Service is clear.
The answers to Saskatchewan's eco-
nomic difficulties are to be discovered
in the findings of the technical agri-
culturists. Let the farmer know of
these discoveries, let him work with
them through his own committees, and
his problems will be solved.

So the agricultural representatives
promote farm-machinery field days, per-
suade farmers to accept government
diversification bonuses, and assist on a
multitude of other technical agricul-
tural problems.

Extension Department

For technical assistance experts to
assist the agricultural representatives
turn to the University of Saskatche-
wan's extension departments. The Ex-
tension Department proper, in turn, se-
cures help either in its own organiza-
tion or from the staff of the College of
Agriculture.

The Extension Departments in addi-
tion have its own special jobs to do.
Members of the staff work with semi-
governmental agricultural and horticul-
tural societies promoting better grow-
ing practices and fairs of all kinds.

The Extension Department also su-
pervises and staffs a series of short
courses under sponsorship of local

farm organizations and financed by Do-
minion and Province developing these
short courses for farm young people.
Extension staff members have some-
times indicated their doubts of the
overall program of agricultural adult
education in the province. They are not
sure that farmers will grow less wheat
merely by learning how to grow better
hogs. They have some doubts as to
whether a narrowly vocational agricul-
tural program is the answer to Sas-
katchewan's vanishing population and
economic ills. To pay respects to their
doubts, the Extension staff includes in
short courses, citizenship and general
home and community betterment items.
The School of Agriculture carries, on

this extra-agricultural program in its
two-year schedule for young farmers
and farmers-to-be. These young men
who come to the University for training
receive courses in reading, public
speaking, and rural leadership. At
Christmas time when they are home for
the holidays, they make surveys of
their own communities. Saskatchewan
rural communities are underdeveloped,
say staff members of the School. They
hold few attractions for young people
who see only bleakness and isolation for
themselves on the prairies. These young
men must be helped to acquire tech-
niques for improving their social as
well as their economic environment.

To the director of women's work,
life on the Saskatchewan prairies is
even more decidedly a matter of im-
proving conditions of daily living and

those health and welfare institutions
which provide essential services for
farm families. Homemakers' clubs
study agriculture and industry, arts
and literature, education, home econo-
mics, international relations, legis-
lation, and public health.

The field men of the Saskatchewan
Co-operative Producers Limited (The
Wheat Pool) also use the answers of
the technical agriculturists, adding
thereto answers of their own. The far-
mer must not only diversify, he must
aiso receive an adequate price for his
products. He must not only use his
land well, but he must also buy sup-
plies for his land at reasonable prices.
He must not only improve life in the
abstract, he must also do it in the con-
crete through community halls and
picnic grounds.

Cooperation

The cooperative society and particu-
larly the cooperative spirit is the main
answer of the Wheat Pool and its
educational staff. A farmer operating
alone has neither energy nor capital to
provide himself with the good things of
life. Many farm families working to-
gether can secure a variety of benefits
through their own credit unions, mar-
keting association, cooperative stores,
and cooperative recreational agencies.
Wheat Pool educators therefore coop-
crate with the University and the Agri-
cultural Representative Service, but
they also work with farmers in their
own way spreading the cooperative gos-
pel.

Great Enthusiasm

To their several tasks the agricul-
tural adult education agencies of
Saskatchewan bring unlimited enthu-
siasm. If energy will win the battle of
the wheat economy, Saskatchewan has
a rosy future. Missionaries in agri-
culture adult education work on the
problems of diversification and coopera-
tives seven days a week and 365 days
a year. No group is too small or a far-
mer to remote to miss their ministra-
tions. To fan their enthusiasms there is
constantly Mowing from research agen-
cies under the University and the
Dominion Experimental Farms Ser-
vices new information on wheat, weeds,
warble flies, and soil drifting.

Agricultural adult educators know
how to make bread. They also know

To teach these skills to their farmer-

UNESCO: Challenge and Opportunity

THE writers of the present article
admit to special and personal con-
cern for the success of the new United
Nations Educational, Scientific, and
Cultural Organization. One of them
served with the United States delega-
tion to the first annual conference of
the organization in Paris, November
and December, 1946. The other attend-
ed the constituent conference of UN-
ESCO in London, November, 1945, and
represented the United States on the
education committee of the Prepara-
tory Commission in May, 1946 in the
same city. Both of them have worked
on various tasks for the United States
National Commission for UNESCO. As
students of comparative education, fur-
thermore, they are professionally inter-
ested in any agency in this field, and
particularly in one which has a signifi-
cant chance of becoming an effective
international office of education.

Hope for World Peace

These professional sources of keen
regard for the future of UNESCO,
however, sink to the level of academic
busy-work when ranged alongside the
hope for world peace, shared not only
with fellow educators but with fellow
veterans and with fellow human beings
over much of the earth's surface. That
UNESCO will make studies of educa-
tion for international understanding,
conduct workshops for teachers, sponsor
international relations clubs, promote
international exchanges of students and
teachers, and seek to improve textbooks
and other teaching materials is a mat-
ter of strong professional interest to
the writers. That by these and other
activities, well conceived and daringly
carried, out, the organization may wage
successful peace in the hearts and minds
of men, is a source of flaming hope to
anyone, knowing the possibilities of
UNESCO, who has ever observed war
at first hand.

Deserves Support

If UNESCO can meet this hope by
contributing to the establishment of
world peace and security, it deserves
the strongest support of all men' of
good will everywhere. If it cannot or
will not do this job, let it die and be re-
placed by another organization, more
powerful, more intelligently operated,
more daring, and better fitted to carry
out the world's number one mission.

How well fitted is UNESCO for
carrying out this task of promoting
peace through education for interna-
tional understanding? What are its
possible assets and liabilities?

Looking first at its liabilities, we ob-
serve at the outset that the organiza-

rather than on red meat by reason of
the simple fact that it has no teeth.
It can carry on researches to determine
what educational materials and pro-
grams are good or bad for internation-
al peace and security. It can give full
publicity to its findings. It can recom-
mend most persuasively those books
and methods of teaching which it finds
valuable in the development of better
international understanding. But no

organization, need accept any of those
recommendations.

Like Predecessors

In this respect, UNESCO is dan-
gerously like some of its predecessors
in the field. Perhaps the comparison is
facilitated by the fact that it has its
headquarters in Paris and is largely
directed by Europeans and run on
European lines. This fact is mentioned,
not at all by way of criticism but
rather "n the interest of clarity. The
Internau.nal Bureau or Education at
Geneva and the Institute of Intellec-
tual Cooperation at Paris were organi-
zations operating in the period between
the two world wars along lines similar
to some of those which UNESCO pro-
poses to follow. The distinguished edu-
cators and cultural leaders who have
directed the work of the Bureau and
the Institute would probably be the first
to point to the inadequacies of these
agencies and to recommend that UNE-
SCO go much further in the direction
of becoming a world office of education.

Both the International Bureau of
Education and the Institute of Intel-
lectual Cooperation did excellent work
within their limitations. Those limita-
tions were of three main kinds; first,
the agencies lacked authority second,
they had very little financial support;
and third, they had European direc-
tion and European staffs and so tended
to look at all educational issues through
European glasses.

Greatest Danger

UNESCO faces its greatest dangers
in the same three respects. It must
achieve educational authority, within
the framework of the present consti-
tution if possible, under the provisions
of an amended constitution if neces-
sary. It must receive generous finan-
cial support. It must be more than
a merely European agency situated in a
great European capital. It must achieve
these goals fairly rapidly. A few years
of existence without educational author-
ity will put a permanent stamp of
futility on the organization so that it
will never be granted authority. A few
annual budgets for UNESCO smaller
than those of provincial universities
will soon make it of far less impor-
tance than any provincial university.
A short period of life in a European
mold will make a long period in that
mold so much the easier and more in-
evitable. Let us consider some specific
ways in which UNESCO may hope to
overcome these dangers.

In asking that UNESCO shall get
and use educational authority, we do

[i4;

not suggest that it should attempt to
become an international ministry of
education. We believe that UNESCO's
authority will come most effectively
from the quality and amount of its ser-
vices to the educational, scientific, and
cultural agencies of its member states.
We believe that such authority can be
achieved only if UNESCO is allowed
and dares to carry out important educa-
tional jobs.

Important Job

What are some important educational
jobs that need to be done by an inter-
national office of education?

One example is found in a problem
which has been presented to the organi-
zation in one way or another since its
founding, a problem which it will have
to face squarely in the next few years
or suffer a loss of authority and effec-
tiveness. This is the problem of pro-
viding international university educa-
tion for international services of var-
ious kinds. The United Nations and the
various related agencies such as the
International Labor Organization, the
World Health Organization, The Inter-
national Court of Justice, the Food and
Agriculture Organization, and UN-
ESCO itself all require the best avail-
able abilities on their staffs. The men
and women who will work for these or-
ganizations will need to be educated on
a high technical level for specific inter-
national jobs. This will be the kind of
education that can be done only in part
by even the most distinguished of the
present-day national and regional uni-
versities of the world.

Many employees of national govern-
ments, as members of the diplomatic
and military relations; professors in
many colleges and universities through-
out the world; and various students
from smaller countries lacking techni-
cal education on a high level will also
benefit by attendance at an interna-
tional university.

Continue to Tremble?

If UNESCO continues to sip its
watery gruel of doing nothing authori-
tative, it will never establish an inter-
national university. It will continue to
tremble at the growls of big nations
with famous universities, claiming that
Oxford, Harvard, the Sorbonne, and all
the other famous institutions which
imagine they are like Oxford, Harvard,
and the Sorbonne, only better, are al-
ready international universities, and
that anything that UNESCO would set
up along such lines would be small,
impractical, unimportant.

If UNESCO establishes an interna-
tional university, it can discard its
bowl of gruel. It will be in the red
meat class at once. The need for such
an institution is so great, and the de-
mand for its services, once established
will be so far beyond anything now

commonly imagined, that UNESCO's
authority in the field of higher edu-
cation will be an accomplished fact. Of
course, its troubles and its responsi-
bilities will increase with its authority,
but that is not only to be expected; it is
also to be demanded of an agency
which pretends to significance in any
area of education.

We should suppose that a Univer-
sity of the United Nations would have
universities, colleges, and research as-
sociations and institutions all over the
world as its institutional members or
associates. It would probably have its
own faculties and institutes in various
parts of the world. It would have its
students and professors working on
special researches from Greenland to
New Guinea, from Norway to Mada-
gascar. It would have students and
professors from its institutional mem-
bers' countries doing special work in
its own divisions throughout the world.

An Example

This is only an example of one way
in which UNESCO may achieve proper
educational authority. It happens to be
an example of an activity which is
opposed by many persons interested in
UNESCO at the present time as being
unsuited to the organizations capacities.
In the program which the secretariat
of UNESCO submitted to the execu-
tive board of the organization in April,
1947, however, there was item after
item of proposed activity which could
be done better if UNESCO had an in-
ternational university as part of its
arsenal in the waging of peace. Among
such items are a study of education for
international understanding, a work-
shop for teachers of international
understanding, investigation and try-
out of international study centers, con-
ference on adult education, and develop-
ment of a method of textbook analysis.

Another example of an area in which
UNESCO would either have to develop
authority or die in the attempt is in the
organization and direction of education
in the trusteeship areas under the
United Nations. Certainly the world
has seen enough of national education
in mandated areas under the League of
Nations. The advantages in the pro-
motion of world peace and security in
having an international direction of
schools in trusteeship areas are ob-
viously very great. UNESCO should
and must seek this responsibility.

Informed and Enriched
By setting up a program of educa-
tion so fitted to the needs of a particu-
lar people and so informed and enriched
by all the available curricular and
methodological techniques that it would
be an example of the best that could be
done, UNESCO would exercise a most
inspiring and effective authority over
the course of world education. Prob-
lems which a national direction of edu-

cation in such an area find very diffi-
cult, moreover, would often be much
easier to solve by mere reason of the
fact that an international agency ap-
proached them. It is doubtful that UN-
ESCO, for example, would see the
same difficulties in relation to the
teaching of particular languages and
particular national histories as would
the United States Navy or any other
national agency which might other-
wise determine the educational policies
to be followed in the education of de-
pendent peoples.

Other Fields

Many other examples of fields in
which UNESCO should do educational
work could be given. What should be
the top policy-formulating and policy-
testing agency on educational matters
in the countries now occupied by the
United Nations, for example? We be-
lieve it should be UNESCO. There are
plenty of people, some of them connect-
ed with UNESCO, who would sputter
impatiently at this point, "But the
occupying powers wouldn't ever allow
such a thing! Incredible! Impossible!"
Of course, the first answer to such a
protest is that the occupying powers
are the United Nations, and that the
United Nations Educational, Scientific,
and Cultural Organization might very
well take its courage in one hand and
some well-organized plans of coopera-
tion in the other and march up to the
occupying powers and offer its services
in the field where it is supposed to be
expert. Maybe its services would be
accepted. How does it know otherwise?
It would better do that pretty soon
now, moreover, or it will be too late to
do it at all. It will have eaten so much
thin gruel that it will be too painful
for it to contemplate all the red meat
that a participation in the re-educa-
tion of Germany and Japan would
involve.

Large Budget Needed

When UNESCO starts moving into
fields where it can and must exercise
real educational authority, its budgets
will be much larger than at present.
Of course they will never be large in
comparison with the military budget
of even a small nation, but they will be
very large compared with the budget of,
let us say, the schools of Emporia,
Kansas. The important tasks UNESCO
has to do in waging peace by education
over a whole world are going to require
more financial support than the schools
of most cities. If UNESCO needs sixty
millions of dollars for significant and
authoritative educational activities in
any one year, it will be a grave error to
suppose that with six millions it can
carry on- at least one-tenth as many
significant activities. It is much more
probable that with six millions, indeed,
UNESCO would succeed merely in be-

[15]

ing another cultural institute situated
in Paris, and not significant at all.

The danger that UNESCO will be-
come more and more European is also
one that can be met most effectively by
undertaking big and important jobs.
If it sets up an international university,
directs educational organization in
trusteeship areas, participates in the
re-education of occupied areas, and ex-
tends its researches and its authority
around the world, it will not be Euro-
pean. American, Asiatic, or anything
else of a local character. It will be in-
ternational in the sense of being at
home in every educational area of the
world.

We want this international office of
education to work, to get results, to
have authority. We understand it is
designed to promote peace and security.
We are in favor of that job being done.
We know that millions of Americans
and millions of people in other countries
are in favor of that too. We think
that maybe if UNESCO worked at its
job just as hard and courageously as it
could, it would be surprised how many
of those millions would support to the
hilt.

ADDITIONS TO THE FACULTY

President Byrd has announced a
number of important additions to the
faculty of the College of Education
effective this fall.

W. G. Eckles will be Professor of
Educational Administration. Mr. Eck-
les is a leading authority on school
building construction. He received his
Master's Degree from George Peabody
College, and lor the past nineteen years

vised the teacher trainees in indus-
trial education from the University of
Minnesota. In addition, Mr. Wall has
taught at the Minneapolis School of
Art and has had four years of experi-
ence in the building trades. During
World War II, he served with the
Naval Air Technical Command.

AT COLGATE

A University of Maryland historian
labeled the United States as the most
dangerous power in the world because
possession of the atomic bomb has en-
abled it to "control the destiny of man-
kind."

In an address at Colgate Univer-
sity's convocation, Dr. Wesley M.
Gewehr, University of Maryland His-
tory Department head said:

"We are dangerous simply because
we have attained an influence and
produced a weapon which we may not
know how to use. If we do not use it
properly, if we make a false step and
the world drifts into an atomic war, it
may mean destruction of whole civili-
zations.

Dr. Gewehr also said the United
States was dangerous because of its
economic and financial power, its lack
of world mindedness and "too much
concern with too many" domestic prob-
lems, the indifference of its people and
its lack of preparation as a nation for
leadership.

BACCALAUREATE

The University of Maryland's 1947
Baccalaureate Services took place at
7 P. M. on Sunday, June 1, 1947 on the
lawn in front of the Administration
Building.

The principal speaker at the exer-
cises, to which students and public
were invited, was the Rev. Edward G.
Latch, of the Metropolitan Memorial
Church. Washington, D. C. His topic
was "Life is what you make it."

The invocation was by Rev. James
Orth, student minister, St. Andrews,
College Park; Scriptures by Rev. W.
Keith Custis, Riverdale Presbyterian
Church.

Music for the program was fur-
nished by the University of Maryland's
Men's Glee Club.

A LETTER FROM GERMANY

(Editor's Note: The following letter
was written by Dr. Brechbill Pro-
fessor of Education, and Assistant
Dean, College of Education, in Ber-
lin last April 30. At that time Dr.
Brechbill was serving as Expert Con-
sultant for the Allied Military Gov-
ernment in Germany.)

The Editor of Maryland
Dear Sir:

Your suggestion that I write an
article on some phase of my experiences
in Europe is a compliment, but a doubt-
ful one. One must either be very wise
to learn in five short weeks enough
about a foreign country to appear in
print or else very vain or foolish to
think he has done so. Lacking the
requisite wisdom and desiring to avoid
gross vanity or folly, I must decline
your suggestion. However, if you think
the Maryland Alumni would desire to
share with you this letter, you have my
permission to make such use of it as
you desire — but as a letter, not an
article.

From the Air

I have seen a great deal of Germany
and Austria from a distance of a mile
or two above them. A half-dozen cities
I have visited on the ground and have
spent a week or two each in Berlin,
Vienna and Salzburg.

The first impression which I received
as a novice in European travel was
two-fold and opposite in emotional
quality. First, it is delightful to find
that Europe is actually European, that
it really is like the pictures and descrip-
tions in our school books, travel lec-
tures, National Geographic Magazine,
and other common sources of geographi-
cal knowledge. Second, it is distressing
and depressing in the extreme to wit-
ness the enormous destruction of war
to which no picture nor description can
do full justice, and which has erased
forever so much of man's finest artistic
creation.

Berlin Shattered

Of the cities I have seen, Berlin is by
far the most tragic war victim. As a
city her heart is utterly gone, both
literally and figuratively. If one can
imagine Baltimore with the whole area
between Greene St. and Calvert St.
from North Avenue to the harbor com-
pletely demolished and every tenth to
fifth building in the remaining area
wrecked, he would have a picture of a
city resembling the actual Berlin of to-
day.

To make matters worse, Berlin has,
at least for the present, lost her raison
d'etre. She existed to be the Capital
of the Reich ; now there is no Reich.

Nazi Regime
Went Not Only
To Defeat
And Destruetion
Rut To Deepest
Ignominy

Two-thirds or more of the city lies in
the American, British and French sec-
tors and is surrounded by the Russian
Zone, which separates it from the Wes-
tern Zones by a barrier more formid-
able than a matter of miles. Deprived
of her function, shorn of her hinter-
land and segmented into artificial and
unnatural sectors, Berlin goes on from
day to day, a sort of animated corpse,
lifeless yet unable to die. Her people
eke out a precarious existence by woi'k-
ing for the occupying powers, selling
their heirlooms and shoveling rubble.

Utilities Operate

On the other side, of this dreary
picture is the fact that the public
utilities, — water, sewage, lighting,
transportation, and telephone systems
are fairly well intact and there is al-
ways the hope, as there was for Mr.
Micawber, that "something will turn
up." The German people are a patient
people. They have lost the war. Stolid-
ly they suffer, but trudge along.

Those who hate Germany for her
past offenses and delight in punishment
for sin should visit Berlin. In only one
respect would they be disappointed.
They would not find penitence and a

[17]

national sense of guilt. To expect that
would be to ignore history. Has any
defeated people anywhere ever taken
upon their consciences the responsi-
bility for the evils resulting from the
wars they have lost? Let the historians
answer; but the books they have writ-
ten, I think, record no such event.
1918 Armistice

There were those who said in 1918
that the Armistice was a mistake, that
the war should have been continued un-
relentingly until allied troops stood in
Berlin. If that was a mistake, it was
surely not repeated in 1945. The Nazi
regime has gone not merely to defeat
and destruction, but to deepest igno-
miny. The ruins of Hitler's famous
office in the Reich Chancellory lie open
and unguarded to the mob. Guided by a
grinning German lad of seventeen or
eighteen, I tramped through the de-
molished rooms of what was to have
been by Hitler's plan, the seat of the
world's government. Gone is every ar-
ticle of furniture, broken the beautiful
marble decorations. The very floors and
walls are yielding up their mosaic tiles
to the onslaughts of curio-seekers; I
saw, myself, the wall towel rack in Der
Fuhrer's private bathroom wrenched
from its fastenings and carried away
as a souvenir by a pair of passing
Americans. And there was no one to
object, no one even to regret. His last
hide-out is partly filled with dirty water
and the alleged spot of his death in-
dicated without reverence or even re-
spect. His house at Berchtesgaden is
similarly held in disregard and is fast
disintegrating. The very intelligent
young German who showed me the
ruins at Berchtesgaden was almost
gleeful in the presence of these sym-
bols of the destruction of his country's
greatest might.

How much regret for the fall of the
mighty Nazidom exists among the Ger-
man people or what the attitude of
future Germany will be can only be
guessed. At present the expressed atti-
tude is one of indifference or approba-
tion.

War Does Not Pay

In parts of Germany outside of Ber-
lin, significant beginnings of recon-
struction are in evidence. Rebuilding on
a permanent basis is under way in
Munich and Frankfurt and I know not
how many other places. We can only
hope that the Germany that emerges
from the catastrophe of 1945 will be
one that is fully convinced that, right
or wrong, the war did not pay and
that another one is not to their liking.

Did I say we can "only hope"? I

IF, some day, the World War II his-
tory of Maryland graduates is writ-
ten it will present a volume of out-
standing and heroic achievement, both
in quantity and quality of personnel
involved.

Questionnaire forms sent to alumni
are, in many cases, bringing back the
sad information that the addressee
gave his life for his country. Proud
parents supply the information.

Such a proud — and deeply saddened
— parent is Captain John F. Curtin.
U. S. Naval Reserve, 12 Colonial Drive,
Plandome Manor, Long Island, N. Y.
Like many another old timer Captain
Curtin went on active duty well be-
fore Pearl Harbor. The Captain was
down at the Ellipse in Washington,
D. C. when the District's Marine Corps
Reserve troops shoved off in November
1940. Few anticipated that the enthu-
siastic young civilian - leathernecks
would be fighting for their lives on an
unheard of island called "Guadal-
canal."

When the University of Maryland's
boxing team appeared at Kings Point
Captain Curtin was at the ringside.
He lives near Kings Point U. S. Mer-
chant Marine Academy. Had things
gone along normally Captain Curtin
would have been accompanied by John
F. Curtin, Jr., a proud graduate of
the University of Maryland. But
young John was not at the ringside. He
had fought and won the greater fight.
He was killed in action in France on
August 3, 1944.

On that day on the Ellipse in 1940
Captain Curtin could hardly have an-
ticipated that his son, John F. Curtin,
Jr., then a sophomore in the Univer-
sity's College of Engineering, would
soon be on active duty as an outstand-
ing soldier; one of the boys who did
not come back.

At Maryland young Curtin had been
active in Scabbard and Blade and in
Pi Kappa Alpha, Society of American
Engineers. He majored in aeronau-
tical engineering and entered the
Army immediately upon graduation.

He was commissioned in the Infan-
try, soon promoted to First Lieutenant
and commanded Company "B", 112th
Infantry, 28th Division. Selected as

an outstanding young officer he was
ordered to duty on Division Staff. How-
ever, he requested to be returned to
the line. He liked troops and troops
liked him.

There is not much that can be told
further about this fine young officer.

about him, he reorganized the remain-

into the attack. Exhibiting traits of
equanimity, and maintaining complete
composure in the face of the withering
enemy fire, he reassured his men — at
all times urging them forward.
Through personal bravery, aggres-

intrepidity, and devotion to duty which
characterized his actions is worthy of
emulation, and reflect the highest
credit upon himself and the Armed
Forces of the United States.

LETTER FROM GERMANY

Elsewhere in this issue there ap-
pears "A letter from Germany" written
By Dr. Henry Brechbill, of the Univer-
sity of Maryland's College of Educa-
tion.

Dr. Brechbill's fine letter suggested
that our readers might be interested in
another letter from Germany which
goes to show further how correct Dr.
Brechbill is in calling attention to the
utter depths reached by the country
that marched when Der Fuehrer rolled
the drums. Goethe, with his "Ehre ver-
loren; alles verloren" was truly a pro-
phet without honor in his own country,
when the little man who played for big
stakes found that he could not win in
spite of marked cards and a stacked
deck.

The following letter comes from Ed-
win and Ruth Miessner, Apostel Paulus
Strasse 19, Berlin-Schoneberg, respect-
ively 17 and 14 years of age.

The letter is addressed to Mr. Joe
Dougherty, ex-GI student at the Uni-
versity of Maryland, who is employed
in the Publications Office. Mr. Dougher-
ty recently married Miss Anne L.
Slingluff, daughter of Commander
Thomas C. Slingluff, U. S. N., retired,
one of the Navy's athletic Slingluff's of
a few years ago.

[18]

Mrs. Dougherty, who is now circu-
lation manager for "MARYLAND",
served in the Red Cross in Germany
and met her husband while he was in
the Army in that country.

The letter from the Miessner young-
sters was typewritten in English and is
reproduced exactly as typed (not bad
for a youngster handling a foreign
language) .

The letter, viz: —

"We received your letter and we were
very glad to hear from you. It took
your letter two month to reach us. And
we think that is a very long time. We
thought that we never would get an
answer from you, but we are not
naughty why we must wait such a long
time. We hope with all our heart that
your next letter will come earlier. —

"Now to your letter. — We read about
your trips through Germany and we
think you will know South Germany
better than we do. We knew that you
had been in a little village near Bam-
bert. On our trip from Regan to Berlin

we saw Captain' ' and some

boys of H.Qu.Co. in Lichtenfels on the
26th of Sept. 45. They were dressed
in base-ball dresses and they drove
through Lichtenfels by truck. So they
did not notice us. We asked for H.Qu.
Co. at the M.P. station and they told us,
that you were only a couple of miles
outside of Lichtenfels beside the high-
road Lichtenfels-Bamberg. We wanted
to visit you but we could not. Our next
train was going in two hours. — You
told us about your wedding. Isn't it
wonderful, that you had to go to Ger-
many to find an American girl, the
girl of your life? — We read that you
are going to school. I finish my high-
school at the 1st of April. I begin to
work for three years as a surveying
technician. After that I go to the school
of technology to make my engineer
examination. — Ruth is attending school
for two years more.

"Now we shall write of our life in
the last half year. — We had a good
Christmas. We even had a little Christ-
mas tree, but no candles. The few
candles we have we must spare. Coal is
very scanty in Germany and so the
electricity too. In Berlin we have each
day four hours no electric light. This
week we are sitting from 14-18 o'clock
in our dark room. Next week from
18-22 and so on. So you can see why
we did not burn our candles at the
Christmas tree. For Christmas our
Mother baked a cake for us. (We
spared for it from our ration card
long enough.) Only a shade fell on our
feast and that was that our Father
coukl not feast' with us. God alone
knows on which place he must spend
his Christmastime. Till today we did
not hear anything about our Father.
On the 3rd of March 44, just one day
before by fourteenth birthday I saw

him the last time. He wa's in Berlin
till the 2nd of May 45. From that day
we are without news of him. But we
hope that he will come back soon or we
get a letter or something else. — And on
the 31st of December we said "Happy
New Year" at eight o'clock and jumped
in our beds. — That was our Christmas-
season. Ruth's birthday (14) on the
27th of February was a day as each
other.

"Now it was very cold in Berlin.
We had — 15° Celsius. That means 5°
Fahrenheit. We dwell with our grand-
parents together in their lodging. You
know, our right home was bombed
down in August 43. We have a little
room with a tiny stove in it. In our
room it was so cold, that our potatoes
(we have our potatoes in our sleeping-
room) were frozen. We could not afford
it to throw them away. So we cooked
them thin and ate them as a sweat
soup. When we were out of bed we
were sitting at the stove and froze.
Most time we were in the bed, because
the bed was the warmest place. We had
no school, because the schools did not
have coal. Most of the coal in Berlin is
for hospitals, the bakers, doctors and
the other for the life in Berlin most im-
portant places. Our water for cooking
and washing we had to take from our
neighbourhouse. Our waterreeds had
been frozen in and broken. Snow was
not very high in Berlin, but we had a
strong and very cold wind. We do not
have glass for every window. So we
closed the windows with pasteboard.
You can believe, pasteboard is no hin-
drance for a strong wind. We are hap-
py that the roof of our house is almost
safe and that we do not have Rainwater
in our room. We have only some clothes
in Berlin. Most of our clothes are in
March near Regan, the little village in
Bavaria where we met you and where
we had such happy days. When we
drove to Berlin we had only some
clothes with us. We had no pass and we
had to go back over the boundary into
the Russian Zone in the night. So you
can think, that we three could not
carry much. And the clothes we had
in Berlin had been stolen at the end of
the war. Our furnitures which -we had
saved in August 43 are here, but the
cupboards are all empty. We are not
allowed to go back to Bavaria to fetch
our other trunks but we hope that the
day when we can do this is not very
far. We are wholesome, but Ruth has a
very sensible lung. Every three month
she must go to a hospital. The doctors
make a photograph of her lung and
examine it for tuberculosis. We hope,
that she will not get a sickness.

"Now we shall write to you about an
accident happened shortly in Berlin. — •
A soccer-club had a night fancy-dress
ball in a rambling, stucco dance hall
and restaurant in Berlin's British zone.

Outside it was bone cold. Inside big
stoves were stocked red-hot to warm
the eighthundred dancers who whirled
over the floor. The ceiling of the danc-
ing hall was painted with a fire-dan-
gerous colour. Flames suddenly flick-
ered around one of the overheated stove-
pipes. In the screaming panic all dan-
cers pushed to the door. A few dan-
cers tried the windows. But the Weh-
macht had barred them during the war,
when the restaurant was a prison-
camp storehouse. The lights went out.
In a terrible burst of flame the roof
collapsed. For some reason most people
seemed more concerned about their
clothes, than their lifes. Almost every-
body jammed into the entry way by
the coat room, and there they piled up
in front of the narrow door. Then the
roof fell in. — The Wehmacht's bars and
the value which Germans today put on
their clothing cost 84 lifes. 20 were
missing and many people were brought
into a hospital. They found out the
names of the half of the dead people.
All the others were burned so much,
that nobody knew who they were.
Among the death were six British
soldiers. It was Berlin's worst peace-
time disaster in 100 years. —

"So, that is a little letter about our
daily life in Berlin. It is a hard life,
but we do not let hang our head.
Someday it will be better and everyone
will prosper.

"We hope we hear from you shortly.
"Many greetings and love to you and
your wife from

RUTH and EDWIN."

DR. BRECHBILL'S LETTER

(Concluded from Page 17)

believe we can and should, in our own
interest and that of the whole world,
do much more than hope. A generous
guiding policy by America might do
much to direct the education of German
children so that they would not be-
come the willing puppets of militarism
that their parents were. Books in Ger-
man language, lectures from platform
and radio, 1 collaboration in the writing
of school books, and most of all scholar-
ships for German teachers in Ameri-
can Universities are among the impor-
tant means at our disposal both for
preventing the recurrence of Naziism
and for holding the line of Western
Democracy against any other form of
irresponsible totalitarianism in this
critical and strategically important
part of the earth.

Cordially yours,

Henry Brechbill

R. SUMTER GRIFFITH, M.D.

Ever since the publication of
Maryland was inaugurated the Edi-
tor has been confronted with the
question, "Who is the oldest alumnus?
In years of age? In years since gradua-
tion?"

Until some alumnus comes along to
challenge the honor we call attention to
R. Sumter Griffith, class of 1880 and
College Park and Medical School, 1886.

Dr. Griffith was born in 1861. He is
now 87 years old. It has been 67 years
since he graduated.

Dr. Griffith resides and practices
medicine at Basic City (Waynesboro),
Virginia. He is Past President of the
Augusta (Va.) Medical Society and
Past Vice President of the Virginia
State Medical Association. He is the
son of Colonel F. L. Griffith, one of the
original stockholders in Maryland Agri-
cultural College.

Birthdays come and birthdays go —
as do people — and Dr. Griffith seen
quite a few of both.

A gentleman of the old school and a
practicing physician in Basic City and
Waynesboro since 1891, Dr. Griffith was
born in Friendship, Anne Arundel
County, Maryland in 1861.

His middle name, Sumter, is in honor
of Fort Sumter.

To hear the doctor tell it, the Con-
federate forces fired upon the Federal
troops at Fort Sumter, S. C. on April
12, the Fort surrendered on April 13,
but the news took 3 days to reach the
part of Maryland where the Griffiths
were living.

Being a gentleman of the South at
heart, Dr. Griffith's father, Col. F. L.
Griffith was greatly exhilerated over
the news, only to be told by the doctor
on the scene to hush up and go see his
new son who had just come into the
world, in honor the glorious day — R.
Sumter Griffith.

Still hale and hearty at 87, Dr.
Griffith is an active booster of healthy
life. He touched neither liquor nor to-
bacco all through his life. To back his
claim that temperance leads to long-
evity, he cites a Negro man in town,
aged 95 who puts forth the same boast
that he has never tasted alcohol.

Active in civic and fraterr.al affairs
since his arrival in what was then
Basic City, Dr. Griffith on his 87th
birthday is probably most proud of the
four 50-year oganization pins which he
has, all of which add to considerably
more than his age in years. Two come
from the railroad which cross paths not
more than 300 yards from his front
door, for the venerable doctor has been
physician for the C&O R.R. and the
N&W R.R. each for over half a cen-
tury, since 1894 for the N&W and
since 1895 for the C&O.

Now rounding out almost 57 years as
an active Mason, Dr. Griffith wears on

Four Senators served in the Spanish-
American War, 35 in World War I and
eight in World War II. Two hundred
and four representatives at some time
served in the military or naval service.
Of this number, 131 served in World
War I, 59 saw service in World War II,
and 14 saw service in both World Wars.

DR. R. S. GRIFFITH

M. A. C. 1880. Is he the "dean" of Maryland
Alumni?

his watch chain the 50-year Masonic
pin presented to him in 1941 by then
Governor James H. Price, pin carrying
the seals of the Scottish Rite and the
Knights Templar. Latest "50" badge in
the collection is the Odd Fellows pin
presented in a ceremony marking the
50th year of the local lodge of that
organization in December of last year.

While the many statistical 'facts
about Waynesboro's oldest doctor would
fill a volume, the fact that he is cur-
rently tending the fourth generation in
two or more families in town.

Harking back to the past and his
early days as a doctor, Dr. Griffith
speaks longingly of the days when he
used to ride horse back to tend his
patients for miles around. He claims
that he used to go many places on a
horse that the modern day doctors will
not go unless they have a car.

Practiced over 20 years on horse back
did the doctor, and what does he miss
most about his horse?

"You could go to sleep on a horse.
Go to sleep and he would bring you
right back home. Can't do that in an
automobile."

At one time, the doctor says, he
knew just about every one in town.
That was back when Basic City and
Waynesboro were two communities.
But now he says that he does not
know hardly anyone.

A FUTURE POLITICIAN

Once there was a little boy, whose
name was Robert Reese; and every
Friday afternoon he had to speak a
piece. So many poems thus he learned,
that soon he had a store of recitation in
his head, and still kept learning more.

And now this is what happened: he
was called upon, one week, and totally
forgot the piece he was about to speak!
His brain he cudgeled. Not a word re-
mained within his head! And so he
spoke at random, and this is what he
said :

"My Beautiful, my Beautiful, who
standest proudly by, it was the schooner
Hesperus — the breaking waves dashed
high! Why is the Forum crowded?
What means this stir in Rome? Under
a spreading chestnut tree there is no-
place like home . . .

"When Freedom from her mountain
height cried, Twinkle, little star, shoot
if you must this old gray head, King
Henry of Navarre! Roll on, thou deep
and dark blue castled crag of Drachen-
fels, my name is Norval, on Grampian
Hill,':, ring out, wild bells!

"If you're waking, call me early to be
or not to be, the curfew must not ring
tonight! O woodman spare that tree!
Charge, Chester, charge! On, Stanley,
on! Let him who will be clever! The
boy stood on the burning deck, but I go-
on forever."

His elocution was superb, his voice:
and gestures fine; his schoolmates all.
applauded as he finished the last line.
"I see it doesn't matter," Robert thought,.
'what words I say, so long as I declaim.
with oratorical display!"

VETS IN THE CONGRESS

The Legislative Reference Section of
the Library of Congress has compiled
a list of war veterans in the 80th Con-
gress. Forty-seven Senators at some
time served in the military or naval
service. Senator E. V. Robertson, of
Wyoming saw service in the Boer War.

ABOUT NEBRASKA

"What State of the Union has the-
lowest state taxes?"

When you have students working
around the office you get questions like-
that. Keeps you on your toes and illu-
strates what many educators have re-
peated, "You learn more while teach-
ing than you do while studying."

Well, the $64.00 answer would be,.
"Nebraska."

Years ago Nebraskans wrote into,
their Constitution a prohibition against,
state indebtedness. It is still there and
Nebraska still pays cash for its roads,
buildings and improvements.

Nebraska has no State bonded debt,
no state sales tax, no state income tax,
no state luxury tax. State tax on real
property, in Nebraska, has averaged
for the last ten years $2.40 per $1,000*
valuation.

BUSINESS EDUCATION

Shorthand is a skill learned by students preparing to teach business education.

COLLEGE OF EDUCATION

(Continued from Page 3)

In order to train business teachers
with a broad point of view, the univer-
sity requires students in business edu-
cation to take extensive courses in Eng-
lish, the social sciences, and mathe-
matics. Professional courses, designed
to develop basic understandings for
teaching, are likewise required. In addi-
tion, majors in business education are
required to take the specialized or vo-
cational courses which prepare them for
the teaching of vocational business
courses.

Two curriculums are offered: the
general business education curriculum
and the secretarial curriculum. The
general curriculum qualifies a person to
teach courses such as general business,
retailing, typewriting, bookkeeping and
office practice. The secretarial curricu-
lum places more emphasis on the skill
subjects such as shorthand, typewriting,
and office machines.

Home Economics Education

The curriculum in home economics
education leads to a Bachelor of Science
Degree and qualifies graduates to teach
vocational homemaking in the public
high schools of Maryland. In addition
to the undergraduate courses, there are
graduate offerings which lead to ad-
vanced degrees with a major home eco-
nomics education.

The offerings in the undergraduate
program center around three major
courses with specific emphases. The
course entitled "Curriculum, Instruc-
tion and Observation," is designed to
acquaint students with the place and
function of home economics in a total
school program, the characteristics of

the pupils, and teaching procedures.

Concentrated emphasis in the senior
year is on student teaching and prob-
lems related to the administration of a
home economics department. Student
teaching is done in both junior and
senior high schools to enable prospec-
tive teachers to develop ability to direct
the learning of pupils at these two
levels and to gain insight into the six-
year high-school home-economics curri-
culum.

Teachers in nearby high schools co-
operate in the student teaching pro-
gram through regularly scheduled con-
ferences devoted to group'planning and
evaluation, supervising student teach-
ers, and attending weekly seminar
sessions.

The department of home economics
education maintains a bureau of in-
structional materials consisting of
timely illustrations, pamphlets, folders,
and recent texts and references, avail-
able for use by students and super-
vising teachers.

The entire program of home eco-
nomics education is planned and de-
veloped in cooperation -with the State
Department of Education and the State
Supervisor of" Vocational Homemaking.

Industrial Education

The Industrial Education depart-
ment, within the College of Education'^
has a comprehensive program which
embraces the education of Industrial-
Arts and Vocational-Industrial teach;
ers and supervisors.

HOME ECONOMICS EDUCATION

College students majoring in home economics education use department bureau of instructional
materials.

CLUB OF VETERANS' WIVES

These wives of G.I. students constitute a class in child development, conducted by Miss Edna B. McNauehton.

The Industrial Education department
offers a Bachelor of Science degree to
those who major in Industrial Arts.
By meeting the requirements of this
curriculum the graduate is qualified to
teach Industrial Arts in the secondary
schools of Maryland.

The graduate program includes stu-
dies leading to the degrees of Master of
Education, Master of Arts, Doctor of
Education, and Doctor of Philosophy.

The University of Maryland offers
unusally fine opportunities for an In-
dustrial Arts graduate student to grow
professionally by following an indivi-
dually planned pattern of courses
chosen from his immediate field and
other departments and colleges.

The Vocational-Industrial education
phase of the program parallels the In-
dustrial Arts program in scope, but
there are administrative variations

look on.

STUDENT VETERAN

majoring in industrial arts education, studies while his wife and daughter

prompted by differences in the person-
nel served and in the function of Vo-
cational Education.

The requirements for the certification
of Vocational-Industrial teachers in the
public schools of Maryland are estab-
lished by The Maryland State Plan for
Vocational Education. The State Plan
in turn conforms with those federal
laws and policies which must be
satisfied if the State seeks to qualify
for certain federal reimbursements.
The State Plan has designated the
University of Maryland as the agency
for preparing Vocational-Industrial
teachers.

The Industrial Education department
also directs the work of those Voca-
tional-Industrial teachers and super-
visors who seek to earn either bac-
calaureate or advanced degrees in
their field.

The shop facilities of the Industrial
Education department are excellent and
are currently housed in the Industrial
Education Building, located on Uni-
versity Lane directly east of the En-
gineering Building.

The undergraduate program has
proved popular with veterans and the
graduate program has attracted out-of-
state persons as well as residents of
Maryland. All of the persons enrolled
as full-time students are men.

Adult Education

Before a community educates its chil-
dren, it educates its adult population.
Adult education is as old as the first
council of our caveman ancestors who
sat around the tribal fire discussing
their food-getting problems.

In the modern world this educative
process among adults, however, has
been considered largely an extra-school
concern. Only recently have we recog-

[22]

nized that under industrial, private,
and public auspices men and women are
enrolling for all sorts of courses, in-
stitutes, and discussions groups by
which they hope to extend their eco-
nomic or social intelligence.

To study those adult-education agen-
cies already in existence and to improve
those sponsored by the public schools,
the College of Education has set up
two courses for teachers and adminis-
trators in principles and practices of
adult education.

These courses are based on studies of
adult psychology. They give opportun-
ity for the individual teacher or admin-
istrator to study his own community
and its needs. They assist him to de-
velop under his own or other auspices,
courses and institutes for parent and
other adults in his school district.

Guidance

Schools have become increasingly
aware of their guidance function.
Schools in this region are especially
oustanding in this respect. All teach-
ers have assumed increased responsi-
bility for guidance, and in addition
school officials are employing full-time
counselors to help pupils with special
problems which they encounter in the
process of choosing, planning and ad-
justing.

The guidance courses for teachers in
the College of Education are designed
on the assumption that (1) all teach-
ers must assume certain responsibility
for guidance work and that (2) coun-
selors or other guidance experts must
be provided to assume responsibilities
which cannot be met by teachers who
have full-time teaching assignments.
The major guidance courses offered at
present are Guidance in Secondary
Schools, Counseling Techniques, Occu-
pational Information, Characteristics
and Problems of the Adolescent, Semi-
nar in Guidance, and Analysis of the

Individual. Others will be added in the
future. The study of child growth and
development is stressed for all teachers
since it is regarded as basic to guidance
work as well as to effective teaching.

Educational Administration

Graduate work leading to a master's
or doctor's degree is offered for prin-
cipals, supervisors, superintendents of
schools, and others desiring prepara-
tion in school administration.

The work emphasizes the human
values in administration. Education is
a means of heiping to promote changes
in human beings. The highest values in
school administration must therefore be
human values.

Too often in the past, daily class
schedules, budgets, and prerogatives of
the administrator have been obstacles
to effective education. The college be-
lieves that the mechanics of adminis-
tration can be justified only as they
contribute to learning.

The teaching staff is considered to be
of paramount importance. The teacher
is present to help each child learn. She
should not be coerced but should be
allowed to exercise initiative and origi-
nality. An Administrator should stimu-
late growth by helping teachers think
through their problems rather than by
trying to force acceptance of his own
solutions. In addition, he should be con-
cerned about providing conditions es-
sential to teacher happiness and wel-
fare.

Relationships between the home and
the school are recognized as being of in-
creasing importance. The development
of each child is conditioned by his home,
and the parents and teachers should
cooperate. Furthermore, the ultimate
control over the schools rests with the
people, and the schools cannot get
very far ahead of the community. An
effective administrator is one who un-
derstands how the school functions in

Baltimore Division

Through the College of Education,
the University of Maryland conducts
the Baltimore Division for students liv-
ing in or near the City of Baltimore.
Late afternoon and evening classes
accommodate qualified adults who seek
in-service improvement or desire to pur-
sue other types of college work.

Courses in education are set up to
conform to requirements of the Mary-
land State Department of Education
and the Baltimore Department of Edu-
cation. Students are advised to confer
with the appropriate official to deter-
mine whether a specific course will be
accepted as meeting the training re-
quirement for a salary increase. Courses
required by the Baltimore Department
of Education to enable students to
qualify for appointments as vocational,
occupational, or shop teachers have
been set up by the University as a
special adaptation to the needs of the
Baltimore schools.

The University plans and adminis-
ters programs in cooperation with in-
dustry, business, and other agencies.
When administratively feasible, in-

Some of the outstanding programs
administered in cooperation with in-
dustry are Industrial Safety Engineer-
ing, The Sea-Cal-University, Program,
and the Glenn L. Martin-University of
Maryland Engineering Program.

A standard course in Industrial
Safety Engineering is featured under
the direction of Mr. A. Burton Metzger,
an assistant superintendent in the
Western Electric Company, Baltimore.
Mr. Metzger has secured the continued
interest and cooperation , of the Balti-
more Safety Council's Board of Di-
rectors, of which he is president.

The University of Maryland, Purdue
University, and the University of
Louisville have in effect an in-plant
education program for staff employees
of the Seagram-Calvert Corporation
and other Seagram Corporation sub-
sidiaries in proximity to any of these
universities. Jointly-established curri-
cula and class schedules permit unin-
terrupted attendance despite the rota-
tion of employees among departments
and industry divisions. Employees are
afforded opportunities to continue a
liberal college education, secure specific
training, and obtain progressive job ex-
periences leading to occupational ad-
vancement.

At the present time, the three univer-
sities maintain a series of courses in
common, and supplement these with
other university courses peculiar to the
needs and interests of the employees.
Courses are currently being offered in
the following areas: Bacteriology,
Fundamentals of Effective Speaking,

Industrial Management, Business Law,
Distilling Plant Operations, English
Composition, Fundamentals of Manu-
facturing Accounting, History of Paint-
ing, and Technical Writing.

Joint planning by the College of En-
gineering, staff and officials of the
Glenn L. Martin Company led last fall
to the initiation of a University of
Maryland Program of Engineering,
administered by the Baltimore Center.
Classes are conducted either at the
Middle River Plant or at other con-
venient locations.

for a Master of Arte Desr»e. believes that a principal should spend most of his time helping to
improve teaching and learning.

DOCTOR'S DEGREES

George J. Rabat, Acting Chief, Eu-
ropean Educational Relatione Section,
Division of International Educational
Relations, U. S. Office of Education, is
one of three students in the College of
Education who were awarded the de-
gree of Doctor of Philosophy at com-
mencement this June. His dissertation,
The Training of Teachers in France,
involved his observation of schools
throughout France.

Dr. Kabat was born at Nantes,
France, in 1912. He received the
Bachelor of Education degree from Wi-
nona State Teachers College, and the
Master of Arts degree from the Uni-
versity of Colorado. He attended' the
Lycee' Clemenceau at Nantes, France,
during the 1933-34 school year, and
has done graduate work at the Uni-
versity of Southern California and the
University of Minnesota. Dr. Kabat
was supervisor of adult education in
Winona, Minnesota, and has taught in
the Crosby-Ironton High School, in the
University of Colorado, and in the Uni-
versity of Maryland. As President of
the Trinidad State Junior College (in
Colorado) from 1939-1941, he was the
youngest college president in the
United States. During World War II.
he served in the U. S. Army from 1942
to 1946, and spent 27 months on over-
seas duty in the European Theater.
Dr. Kabat was U. S. Delegate to the
Ninth International Conference on
Public Education, International Bu-
reau of Education, Geneva, Switzer-
land, in March, 1946, and was a mem-
ber of the U. S. Delegation to the
First General Conference of UNESCO,
held at Paris, France, during Novem-
ber and December, 1946.

Marie C. Wheatley, Associate Pro-
fessor of Education, Florida State Col-
lege for Women (Tallahassee, Flor-
ida) likewise received the Doctor of
Philosophy degree at the June com-
mencement. Her thesis was entitled
The Primary Mental Abilities of Deaf
Children. The research involved exten-
sive administration of tests with pro-
cedures which eliminated language as a
factor in achievement.

Dr. Wheatley was born in New York,
in 1919. She received the Bachelor of
Arts degree from Hunter College in
1940, and the Master of Arts degree
from Columbia University in 1941. Be-
fore coming to the University of
Maryland to work for the Ph.D. degree,
she was employed in the School for
Deaf, West Trenton, New Jersey. Mrs.
Wheatley has concentrated on Special
Education. Her experiences with deaf
children enabled her to conduct her re-
search with unique effectiveness.

Dr. Wheatley reports that comple-
tion of the degree requirements
brought her a promotion to the rank of
Associate Professor.

Gladys A. Wig gin, a member of the
faculty of the College of Education,
was also awarded the degree of Doctor
of Philosophy. Her dissertation, Agri-
cultural Adult Education Programs in
Saskatchewan, is a critical evaluation
of existing programs in Saskatchewan,
where she spent considerable time se-
curing data for the study.

Dr. Wiggin is a native of Minne-
sota, and holds the degrees Bachelor
of Science and Master of Arts from
the University of Minnesota. She was
employed as a teacher and supervisor
in the Minneapolis public schools from

1929 to 1937. She was Assistant Direc-
tor, Center for Continuation Study,
University of Minnesota, 1937-38; and
was Executive Secretary, Adult Educa-
tion Council of Denver, 1938-1940. She
has served as Assistant Professor at
the University of Colorado, Research
Worker for the Educational Policies
Commission, and Assistant Specialist
at the U. S. Office of Education. Dur-
ing World War II, Dr. Wiggin worked
in a confidential assignment for the
U.S. Army. She is Associate Professor
at the University of Maryland, and
was formerly in charge of the Balti-
more Division of the College of Edu-
cation.

Dr. Wiggin has been appointed As-
sociate Professor, of Education.

SHORT COURSE PAGEANT

Several hundred rural women at-
tended "Visitors' Day" at the Rural
Women's Short Course on Thursday,
June 19th. This was the traditional day
set aside for Maryland women unable
to spend the entire week at the Univer-
sity. They attended classes and assem-
bly programs as well as the special
event of the day — the Stephen Foster-
Pageant which is to be put on during
the evening at 8:00 P. M. in the Ar-
mory.

About 300 members of the Short
Course from 20 Maryland counties par-
ticipated in the musical pageant staged
under the direction of Mrs. Thomas
Lewis of Baltimore and Helen Irene
Smith, Home Economics Extension
Specialist at the University. It fea-
tured two groups of Stephen Foster's
songs. The first were his songs of ro-
mance and the second, the minstrels.
The program concluded with a medley
of Stephen Foster songs and the finale
was the Battle Hymn of the Republic-
Virginia Csonka of Waldorf, Mi was
the pianist for the evening, and, in ad-
dition to the county groups, there were
selections by Jean Alice Sweetman of
Beltsville, a ballet by the Alma Loth
dancers of Baltimore, songs by the
Brandywine quartette, and solos by
Mrs. Harold Nesbitt of Baltimore, and
J. R. Sleeth of University Park. Mr.
and Mrs. Lee Page of Baltimore took
the parts of Mr. and Mrs. Stephen* Fos-
ter.

Many of the women attending the
evening's program wore colonial type
dresses.

THE COLLEGE F.F.A.

The Collegiate Chapter of the Future
Farmers of America is made up of
students who are preparing to teach
vocational agriculture. The chapter is
affiliated with the F.F.A. in the high
schools, where membership is made up
of boys taking vocational agriculture.

The primary objective of the Col-
legiate Chapter is to develop advisers
of high school chapters of the F.F.A.
An attempt is made each year to have
at least one high school chapter of
F.F.A. and one high school teacher of
agriculture appear on a regular pro-
gram of Collegiate Chapter. The chap-
ter joins also with other agricultural
clubs to arrange and stage major events
such as the barn dance and the student
livestock show. In addition, the Col-
legiate Chapter acts as host to Chap-
ters of F.F.A. each year for the Voca-
tional Field Day, a day devoted to
judging contests and a state F.F.A.
meeting.

At the regular meetings, which are
held each month, various aspects of
Future-Farmer work are discussed.
Student participation in the meetings
is encouraged.

'gAmIcmoI B

■BEAUTY and smartness counted most when University of Maryland students picked Miss Marilyn Beissig, pictured herewith, of Floral Park,
•*• Long Island, to represent them at the twentieth annual Shenandoah Apple Blossom festival at Winchester, Va., 1947. Miss Beissig was one of
the princesses in the festival queen's court. She is a junior in the Lo:-.ege of Education and as proof that she's the apple of more than one eye, she
also is president of Sigma Kappa sorority.

OLD TIMERS

ALUMNI files at Maryland are re-
sponsible for the following from
a letter dated October 19, 1932, signed
by R. H. Ruffner, a member of Dr.
H. C. Byrd's class, viz:

"The North Carolina Group of the
University of Maryland Alumni Asso-
ciation assembled in the dining room of
the Washington Duke Hotel and en-
joyed an informal dinner and get-to-
gether meeting.

"Dr. E. B. Howie, D.D.S. 1908, M.D.
1910, presided in a delightful manner.

"Talks were made by G. F. Pollock,
representing the University of Mary-
land Alumni Association; Dr. L. B.
Broughton, representing the University
Athletic Association; Dr. Alex. H. Pat-
erson of the University Dental School
and Dr. Robert L. Felts*., practicing
physician of Durham, N. C. Dr. Felts
graduated from the University of
Maryland Medical School in 1898 and
gave an interesting' talk", citing remi-
niscences of -his' days in Maryland.
Every one of the 54 former graduates
and guests were given an opportunity
to speak 2 minutes, stating when they
graduated, degree received and what
they had been doing since graduation.
At the conclusion of the program Dr.
Howie introduced John McDonald, a
special humorist brought over from
Raleigh for the occasion. Dr. Howie
introduced Mr. McDonald as 'Dr.' and
said he was a chiropractor of the high-
est order. 'Dr.' McDonald started off
his remarks highly complimenting his
profession and especially himself, ex-
plaining in a humorous way how the
word chiropractor originated and that
M.D. stood for Mental Deficiency. At
this point a very unfortunate occur-
rence took place. A part of the audi-
ence had not yet realized that he was
not a real chiropractor and about 5 or
6 of the physicians left, taking then-

MAHLON N. HAINES

Colonel Mahlon N. Haines was a member of
the class of 1896. He is the sponsor of the
Mahlon N. Haines '94 trophy which goes an-
nually to the Major of the winning R.O.T.C.
Battalion.

This Haines is known in Pennsylvania and
Maryland as "Haines. The Shoe Wizard."

He has a 4,000-acre ranch near Rapid City,
South Dakota, as well as twelve of the biggest
and best farms in Pennsylvania. He owns the
largest chain of shoe stores in America, owned
by an individual, but has been, ever since he
was a boy, interested in horses.

Not long ago he "kicked out" of the horse
game, sold his horses, his carts, his sulkies,
blankets, harness, everything, said "I am
t-'rotigh," but went down, with his friend,
Parker Mitchell, to Pinehurst, North Carolina
and "kicked right in again" by buying five out-
standing trotters and pacers.

Haines, at University of Maryland, was star
short stop on the University team and also
won a gold medal as oi.st individualy driii a
man.

Alumnus Haines is quite a fellow, very proud
of the fact that the class of 1896 is still going
strong. It was 53 years ago that the Mary-
land campus featured a competitive military
drill of the down and out variety. The lad who
made no mistakes survived and won the entire
drill. It lasted two and one half hours. Mr.
Haines won it. He's still proud of that.

The Grand Lodge of the State of Pennsyl-
vania, through White Rose Lodge No. 706, of
York, recently presented Mr. Haines with a
Fifty-year Gold Button, for fifty years' service
to Masonry.

Recently the National Council of the Boy
Scouts of America, of which Mr. Haines is
National Councilman, presented him with a
Thirty-year Service Pin. In other words, Mah-
lon N. Haines has been an active Scouter, for
thirty years, in York-Adams Area. He was also
the first one to receive the Silver Antelope from
the Region, which takes in Pennsylvania, Mary-
land, Delaware, District of Columbia, Virginia
and part of North Carolina and part of West
Virginia. He is also a member of the National
Council Committee On Relations.

physicians were offended. Mr. McDon-
ald had appeared with the same dem-
onstration before the Virginia Medical
Society at their Annual Banquet and
we were told by physicians who heard
him that it was good for such an oc-
casion. We hope that our fellow alum-
ni will have more confidence in us in
the future and not fly off too quick.
The joke was certainly on those who
left the meeting.

PRESIDENT, 1888-1892

Major Henry Alvord, President of Maryland
Agricultural College, 1888-1892.

F. W. Besley wrote:

A letter from F. W. Besley, State
Forester, dated July 27, 1935, had this
to say, viz:

"Inclpsed is a photograph of Major
Henry Alvord, who was president of
The Maryland Agricultural College
from 1888 to 1892.

"You will have to admit that this is
a distinguished looking gentleman, if
whiskers count, and as I was a student
in the College during his term as presi-
dent, I can vouch for the high integrity,
marked ability, and sterling character
of the man. He could not or would not
play politics according to the Mary-
land rules which prevailed at that time,
so he did not last long.

"Major Alvord was a man of sterling
character and great integrity with
bright scientific attainments, but as a
product of Massachusetts he was not
fully acceptable to the Maryland Agri-
culture College which was very pro-
vincial at that time. My class of '92
for several years about a decade ago
showed up at alumni meetings with the
highest percentage of living graduates
present. There were eight in the class.

Robert W. Hill, '27

The following is from a letter from
Robert W. Hill, '27, dated Jackon
Heights, L. I., October 3, 1932, viz:

"Just a short while ago I had letters
from Frank Terhune, '27 and John
Bowie, '25. The former was helping his
little daughter celebrate her first birth-
day at home in Plainfield, N. J. Bowie
was busy in a Coast and Geodetic Sur-
vey of Kodiak Island, Alaska in his
party are also Eddie Baum and Garber,
now known as "Coffee" Barber, both of
them also engineers of the class of '25,
I think. They expect to be back in

Seattle in November. Jack Krein, '27,
is a salesman covering the New Eng-
land territory with headquarters in
New Haven where I saw him frequent-
ly last year. One month he makes a
record in sales and another month he
feels like ripping up the administra-
tion in general. As for me, I have
moved into another job, in the manu-
scripts division of the New York Pub-
lic Library, working upon collections
of historical source material, helping
to make them accessible to students
and to the public.

"A little piece in the Baltimore Sun
of several mornings ago, mentions an
enrollment of 1800 on 'The Hill.' Here's
hoping it doesn't go much higher or
that delightful condition of by-gone
days, everybody knowing everybody
else, may disappear. Still, it's better to
see growth rather than stagnation pro-
viding real development goes along
that increase in numbers''

From Boise, Idaho

And this is a more modern letter,
about old times, however, from Edward
G. Rosenheim, '98, viz:

"Would one suppose one could get a
thrill at the age 68? Well, I did and
the occasion was the arrival here in
Boise, addressed to Edward G. Rosen-
heim", of "MARYLAND," the Alumni
Publication of the University of Mary-
land.

"The writer is of the law class of
1898, a member of the Maryland, Penn-
sylvania and Idaho bars, and of the
United States Courts of Maryland,
New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Idaho.
The faculty in my day in the law school
consisted of Bernard Carter, John P.
Poe, Richard M. Venable, Henry D.
Harlan, Charles D. Phelps, William T.
Brantly, Edgar Gans, Thomas Hall, Al-
bert Ritchie, Thomas S. Baer.

"This is from way out West, where

BENJAMIN H. TATUM, M.D.

Much is being printed in the daily
press, in these days of specialists in
medicine, emphasizing the continued
need and importance of the good old
"family doctor", the type illustrated in
stories and famous paintings.

Let us point out such a fine prac-
titioner in the person of Benjamin
Harris Tatum, M. D., 126 West Ridge-
way, Clifton Forge, Virginia. Dr. Ta-
tum is from Maryland's class of 1891,
B.A., M.A. Behind him fifty six years
of practice in New Castle and Clifton

Forge and twenty five years of hospi-
tal staff duty in the Chesapeake and
Ohio Hospital.

Following graduation from Maryland
Dr. Tatum took post graduate work,
1895-96, under Dr. William Osier and
several times attended courses and
clinics at Johns Hopkins.

Poor vision kept the doctor out of
the service in World War I.

His has been an unselfish life spent
in valuable service to the people of a
community in which he is respected and
loved.

As a young medical student, Dr. Ta-
tum was able to complete the then re-
quired three-year course in two years.
Since that time and throughout his
extremely busy professional life, he has
kept in close touch with changing medi-
cal practice and always used the proven
best of the newer and later treatments.
Younger in appearance than his years,
he is perennially alert in his profes-
sional skill.

Highly esteemed by his fellow
physicians, he has many times been
told by them that he could have special-
ized in diagnosis, obstetrics, or some
other branch of his profession.

As the perfect type of the beloved
General Practitioner or "Family Doc-
tor," Dr. Tatum has always inspired the
utmost confidence on his patients. "It
makes me feel better just to see Dr.
Tatum!" is a common expression in
Clifton Forge. His big heart, kindness
and sympathy make young and old
alike come to him with their important
problems.

Dr. Tatum loves his work so much
that he has given it all of himself,
never turning an indifferent ear to the
poor and lowly and always foregoing
his own comfort or plans to attend to
his patients' needs.

Now, at seventy-seven years of age,
he is very active in his practice. Still
not thinking of himself, he tries to
spend more time with his invalid wife,
to whom he is devoted.

PHI DELTA KAPPA

Phi Delta Kappa is a national pro-
fessional fraternity for men in edu-
cation. Beta Epsilon, the University
of Maryland chapter, was installed on
May 22, 1942 under the sponsorship of
Alpha Rho Chapter. Beta Epsilon has
grown from 52 charter members to a
total of 132 active members, including
students, professors, teachers and ad-
ministrators in Maryland and in states
as distant as California.

The motto of the fraternity is "Re-
search, Service, and Leadership."
Meetings are planned to provide pro-
fessional stimulation. A national maga-
zine, the "Phi Delta Kappan" with
scholarly articles and suggestions for
service, reaches all members.

Last year Beta Epsilon, working in
conjunction with Alpha Rho, was in-
strumental in the organization of the
Maryland Council on Education, com-
posed of representatives of educational
and civic groups in the state. The pur-
pose of the council is to disseminate
information on educational matters
and to bring about some degree of co-
ordination among the many organi-
zations seeking to improve public edu-
cation in the state.

Professor Henry H. Brechbill, Assis-
tant Dean of the College of Education,
is the Faculty Advisor for Beta Epsi-
lon. John P. Speicher, Principal of
Greenbelt High School, is the Presi-
dent. Other officers are: Vice President,

retary and Treasurer, Donald C. Hen-

THOS.. W. AYERS, '86

The history record of Thomas W.
Ayers, 978 Guniper Street, N.E., At-
lanta, Georgia, Class of 1886, College
of Physicans and Surgeons, brings to
light an interesting story of foreign
service. This alumnus spent fifteen
years in private practice in Anniston,
Alabama and later served twenty-five
years as a medical missionary in
China. He built the first foreign mis-
sion hospital in the world constructed
by a Southern Baptist. It was built in
Hwanghsien, Shantung, China. For his
activities and for Red Cross and quaran-
tine work in China Dr. Ayers was deco-
rated on two separate occasions by two
of China's presidents. Their names
were Wan Shi Kai and Lee Wuan Hung.

EDWARD K. BENDER

Edward K. Bender, Assistant Coun-
ty Agent in Montgomery County since
March 1946, has resigned to join the
Extension Staff at the University of
Maryland. He will be working as a
full-time vegetable crop specialist in
the department of horticulture.

Bender, who was born and brought
up on a vegetable and dairy farm in
York County, Pennsylvania is a
graduate of Pennsylvania State Col-
lege and has taken graduate work
there and at the University of Hawaii.
Starting in 1941, he taught vocational
agriculture in Bucks County, Pennsyl-
vania for three years before entering
service in the U. S. Navy. At the close
of the war he taught agriculture in one
of the Navy's courses until his dis-
charge early in 1946.

While working in Montgomery
County during the past year, he de-
voted considerable time to work with
gardeners and gave special attention
to the 1946 victory garden program.
He also worked with general farmers
and commercial fruit and vegetable
growers.

As vegetable crop specialist at the
University of Maryland, he will be
spending all of his time on Extension
work with vegetable growers in the
State, according to Dr. I. C. Haut,
head of the Horticulture Department.
These growers are producing such
crops as tomatoes, snap beans, sweet
corn and peas for both the fresh
market and for canning companies.
Other crops include sweet potatoes,
Irish potatoes, spinach, and asparagus.

MARYLAND DAIRYING

Dr. Symons, Dean and Director of
Agricultural Extension Service at the
University of Maryland, in comment-
ing on Dairy Month, said that the value
of milk sold by Maryland farmers in
1946 totaled about $53,000,000. This
was approximately 20 to 25 per cent of
the total agricultural income for the
State. Dairy and poultry products have
about equalled each other in total farm
income during recent years.

"We are proud of the progress dairy-
ing has made in Maryland," Dr. Sy-
mons said. "The number of dairy cows
has increased from 188,000 in 1936 to
about 232,000 this year. Milk produc-
tion per cow as increased more than
500 lbs. We have good markets with
most of the milk going into fluid con-
sumption in Washington, Baltimore,
Philadelphia, and the small local mar-
kets.

"The areas in which the greatest in-
crease has come in dairying are the
Eastern Shore of Maryland and the
vestern mountainous area. Here, as in
the rest of the state the dairy cow is
the best market outlet for the pasture
and hay crops as well as for much of
the grain produced on the farm."

IOTA LAMBDA SIGMA

National professional fraternity for men in education.

IOTA LAMBDA SIGMA

Nu Chapter of Iota Lambda Sigma,
national professional fraternity for men
in industrial education, was installed
at the University of Maryland on
April 5, 1941. The nucleus for Nu
Chapter was the group of 77 mem-
bers of the Industrial Education Club,
which had been organized on the cam-
pus in 1936.

The motto of the fraternity is "In-
dustry, Loyalty, and Service." The pur-
pose of the organization is to promote
the causes of industrial education
through three major objectives: the
recognition of professional training;
the special recognition of high scholar-
ship; and the development of a closer
fraternal bond between actual and pro-
spective teachers, supervisors, and di-
rectors.

Nu Chapter numbers among its mem-
bers many of the outstanding men in
industrial education in the State of
Maryland. Through meetings, bulletins,
and newsletters, the Chapter helps its
members to keep professionally alert,
establishes rapport between education
and industry, and helps maintain a
good relationship between the men in
the field and those in school.

Professors Glen D. Brown and R. Lee
Hornbake of the Department of In-
dustrial Education are co-sponsors of
the Chapter. Donald C. Hennick, In-
structor in the College of Engineering,
is the President. Other officers are:
Charles W. Dudderar, First Vice Presi-
dent: James O. Proctor, Second Vice
President: Bernard J. Stinnett, Secre-
tary: Charles Wolfe, Treasurer; and
Herman E. Westerberg, Historian.-

name is on the list?
Do you take an active interest and

mingle with the flock?

sit around and knock?
Do you take an active part to help

alumni work along?
Or are you satisfied to be the kind that

"just belong"?
Do you ever dig into your purse to

make the outfit click?
Or leave the work to others and talk

you should have heard about,
It will be appreciated, too, if you will

STUDY ABROAD

For 1947 and 1948 the University of
Maryland announces foreign study cen-
ters for a graduate year abroad, for
students registered in the University
of Maryland's College of Education.
These facilities have been established
in the Department of Foreign Lan-
guages and Literature, within the Di-
vision of Humanities.

The Foreign Study Office will estab-
lish and staff Foreign Study Centers as
the need arises. It will operate two
such Centers during 1947-48: one in
Paris, the other in Zurich. A Resident
Dean, a Maryland professor, will be in
charge of each Center and supervise
the program of each student. He will be
assisted by such other Maryland profes-
sors as enrollment may require.

William F. Falls, Ph.D. will be the
Resident Dean in charge of the Foreign
Study Center in Paris, with offices at
Reid Hall, rue Chevreuse, 4, Paris
France.

Dieter Cunz, Ph.D., will be the Resi-
dent Dean in charge of the Foreign
Study Center in Zurich, with offices at
Zeltweg 4, Zurich, Switzerland.

At College Park the foreign study
program is in charge of Dr. Edmund
E. Miller, with Dr. A. E. Zucker as
Chaiiman of the Division of Humani-
ties.

Before the European school year ba-
gins, the Maryland registrants par-
ticipate in an orientation period with
required language work (French in
Paris, German in Zurich). When the
university year opens, the student is
enrolled in the faculty or school best
suited to his preparation and interests.

The Foreign Study student divides
his program between his major and his
minor. Twelve to sixteen semester hours
plus six hours for the thesis satisfy
the requirements of the major. The re-
maining eight to twelve semester hours
are devoted to the student's minors.

The year's program is evaluated at
thirty semester hours.

At European universities courses are
usually offered in cycles of three to five
semesters, so that it is impossible to
list the exact course titles for a given
semester very far in advance.

Majors and Minors'are offered in the
following three fields:

Linguistics : General, Germanic,

Romance.
Literature: Comparative, French,

German.
History: Roman, Medieval, Mo-
dern, Contemporary, American-
European.

Minors only are offered in these
fields: History of Art, Economics,
Education, Geography, Govern-
ment,, International Relations;
American, English, Italian, Rus-
sian or Spanish Literature; Music,
Philosophy, Political Science, Psychol-
ogy, Sociology, Theology, Volkskunde.

The candidate v for a degree has a
weekly conference with his adviser and
submits progress reports at stated in-
tervals.

4-H CAMPERS

Maryland's 1947 delegates for the
National 4-H Club Camp at Arlington
Farms, Virginia were: Rita Bittle, of
Oakland; Margaret Schwarten of Cor-
dova; John A. Holter of Middletown;
and John Bruce of Conowingo.

Representatives chosen to attend the
camp are selected on the basis of their
accomplishments in 4-H Club work.

Rita Bittle has been a club member
for 6 years and is a past president of
the Garrett County Council of 4-H
Girls' Clubs.

Margaret Schwarten has also been in
Club work about six years and has
recently started leading a 4-H Club at
Easton. She is now president of the
Talbot County Senior 4-H Council.

John Holter, has completed 10 years
of Club work and during that period
has earned a total of $6705.00 from
his projects in dairy and swine. His
achievements include awards for fourth
high individual in the 1942 State dairy
judging contest, silver cup for dairy
showmanship in a contest at Frederick
in 1944, and for showing the Junior
Champion heifer at the 1945 State
Show at Hagerstown. In addition to
holding several offices in his local club,
he acted as discussion leader at a train-
ing school and at Club Week at College
Park.

John Bruce during five years of
work, has completed projects in dairy,
garden and handicraft, and has built
shelters and feeders in wildlife con-
servation. After having served as presi-
dent, and secretary of his local club, he
is now president of the county 4-H Club
and a leader of a local club.

SPEAKS ON BOXING

Colonel Heinie Miller, Terrapin Box-
ing Coach, was the guest speaker at
the Richmond Sportsmen's Club Lunch-
eon at the Hotel Richmond in that city
last month. The Sportsmen's Club is
similar in membership to the Touch-
down Club of Washington, D. C.

Later Miller spoke on the same sub-
ject for the Marine Corps Reserve Of-
ficers' Association meeting at Fort
McHenry in Baltimore.

LEADERSHIP PENALTY

"We sometimes speak of winning
reputation as though that were the
final goal. The truth is contrary to
this. Reputation is a reward, to be
sure, but it is really the beginning, not
the end of endeavor. It should not be
the signal for a let-down, but rather, a
reminder that the standard which won
recognition can never again be lowered.
From him who gives much — much is
forever after expected." — Alvan Ma-
cauley.

MARYLAND ATHLETICS

DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS

WALTER S. DRISKILL, former
assistant football coach at the
University of Oklahoma, was named
head of athletics at the University of
Maryland when the athletic board acted
en a recommendation made by Jim Ta-
tum, who came to the Old Line school
as general manager of sports.

Tatum, who will devote his full time
to the development of football, request-
ed the appointment of his former Okla-
homa associate to the post in order to
be relieved of the details of directing
all Terrapin sports.

"Football at the University of Mary-
land involves so much work that it is
not possible for me to do a good job in
that, the field in which I am most
interested, and at the same time man-
age other sports," Tatum said in ask-
ing the athletic board to make the
change.

Driskill will have the title of Pro-
fessor of Physical Education in charge
of intercollegiate and intramural ath-
letics. He is a graduate of the Univer-
sity of Colorado and held his first job
there, as assistant football coach and-
director of intramural boxing.

The new athletic head was assistant
football coach at the University of Wyo-
ming from April, 1941 until March,
1942, when he entered the Navy's pre-
flight athletic training program.

Driskill returned to Wyoming as as-
sistant football coach in the fall of 1945
and became assistant to Tatum at Okla-
homa last year. He joined Tatum at
Maryland last January.

Director of Athletics, University of Maryland.

BASEBALL

Davidson

AT College Park Maryland racked
up a 7-3 victory over Davidson.
It was the second meeting between the
Terps and Hoyas, Georgetown having
won the first game on its home lot.

Joe Fitzpatrick's 8-hit twirling and
good support featured Maryland's sec-
ond straight conference win. The
Terps clubbed Blanks for 10 blows, in-
cluding a triple and double by Charley
Anacker and a two-bagger by Al Tu-
minski. Three runs in the fourth and
two in the seventh clinched matters for
Maryland.

Johns Hopkins

Taking advantage of five-hit pitching
by Harry Hughes, the Maryland base-
ball team defeated Johns Hopkins, 9
to 1 on the Homewood field.

The Marylanders smacked the offer-
ings of Joe Rembock for 12 safeties,
four coming in the sixth when they
counted three times, to take a 5-0 lead
and sew up the contest.

Hughes was the master of the Blue
Jays from the start. Koerber opened
with a single and that was the only
safety in the first six innings.

North Carolina

The University of North Carolina
baseball team blasted 18 hits off the
offerings of four Maryland pitchers in
a Southern Conference game at College
Park.

All of the Carolina hits were singles
and came off four Maryland hurlers.

Maryland Wins

Sweeping nine of fourteen events to
pile up 106 points, Maryland's track
team walked away with a triangular
meet at College Park between the Old
Liners, Georgetown, and the Quantico
Marines. Georgetown had 18 points
and Quantico two.

Ike Eickorn, freshman weight star,
led the Liners with 11 points, captur-
ing the javelin and the discus and
placing third in the shotput.

King's Point

Boots Panella pitched a four-hit
game as the Maryland baseball team
defeated King's Point (N. Y.) Mer-
chant Marine Academy, 8-2, at College
Park.

Panella struck out nine King's Point
batsmen and allowed only one walk.
Joe Andrus, with two for three, paced
the Maryland attack, driving in one
run and scoring twice.

West Virginia

The baseball club climbed above the
.500 mark for the first time this year,
defeating West Virginia, 10-3, at Col-
lege Park. It was Maryland's seventh
victory against six losses.

Joe Fitzpatrick gave the Mountain-
eers seven scattered hits as he went
the route for the Old Liners.

The Terps cemented the victory in the
sixth with four runs on five hits and
a walk off Mountaineer flinger Ryan
who went the route for the West Vir-
ginians despite being found for 12

[42]

GYMKANA TROUPE

Students in the College of Education join with other students in emphasizing physical fitness, and they do it in a colorful way.

Maryland hits, including three singles
by Stuffy Evans and a homer and sin-
gle by Joe Andrus.

Army

Arnold Galiffa's two-base hit sent the
tying and winning runs across the plate
in the last half of the ninth inning to
give Army a 4-3 decision over Mary-
land.

The Terrapins, shut out in the first
eight innings by the impressive pitch-
ing of Roger Gonover and Jack Tully,
made three singles and a walk good for
three runs in the ninth.

Virginia

Maryland's baseball team dropped a
7-4 decision to Virginia's crack nine in
Charlottesville, as the Cavaliers pound-
ed Boots Panella for 12 hits.

Virginia got three in the second, two
in the sixth and two in the eighth,
while the Terps pecked away for one
in the opener, two in the third and
another in the sixth.

Virginia

Dave Charles hurled his seventh vic-
tory for the Virginia baseball team as
the outfit from the Old Dominion de-
feated the University of Maryland, 6-3.
Charles issued seven scattered hits and
fanned seven Maryland batters. Al Tu-
minski paced Maryland, with three for
three, including a double and two runs.

LACROSSE

Mt. Washington

THE experienced Mount Washing-
ton lacrosse team handed the Uni-
versity of Maryland and 8 to 5 setback
in a night game at Homewood.

Starting early, the Wolfpack scored
after two minutes and 27 seconds of
play.

Scoring three times in the first quar-
ter and once in the second Mt. Wash-
ington held a 4-3 advantage at half-
time.

Rip Hewitt scored twice for the
Wolfpack, while Grelecki was credited

with two markers for the Terps.
Princeton

Princeton University's varsity la-
crosse team trounced the University of
Maryland, 11-6, in Palmer Stadium in
a rough contest which saw three play-
ers leave the game because of in-
juries.

Princeton scored first after three
minutes of play had elapsed when Lar-
ry Eccles charged through the middle
and made an unassisted goal from 40
feet out.

BARBARA McCUTCHEON

Who holds the A.A.U. Senior Outdoor Low
Board Diving Championship for the District of
Columbia. Here, Barbara, who is preparing to
be a teacher in Physical Education, shows the
form which has helped her win many contests.

Princeton added four more goals be-
fore Maryland could score its first
tally shortly before the end of the first
half, when Bob Moulden scored on an
assist from Austin Barnhardt.

Maryland rallied during the third
quarter to close the gap to 8-5 but the
Tigers rebounded and won easily.

Army

Army's lacrosse team overcame a
5-1 University of Maryland lead to de-
feat the Old Liners, 9-6, and eliminate
any hope Maryland had for the myth-
ical National championship.

Maryland went ahead, 4-1, in the
first half and made it 5-1 before the
Cadets could tally again by 12.01 of
the third period, Army's John Egbert
sank the tying marker, and then Mar-
ley got his three straight goals to sew
up the contest.

Giles Freeman and Ray Grelecki led
the Maryland attack with two goals
each, but once rolling, the Cadet ma-
chine outclassed the Old Liners com-
pletely. It was Maryland's fourth loss
against three victories this season.

Hopkins

After 36 hours of campus raids, hair-
cuts and painting incidents, the Uni-
versity of Maryland and Johns Hopkins
finally got around to playing a lacrosse
game at College Park, and the Jays
came away with the national title as
they gave the Terps a 15-6 licking, the
worst defeat ever suffered by an Old-
Line stick team at the hands of Hop-
kins.

The Terps startled 5000 spectators as
they grabbed a 3-0 lead in the first
quarter on goals by Charley Herbert,
Ray Grelecki, and Otts Lunball, but the
Jays dropped in five markers in the last
10 minutes of the first half and were
never pressed after that point.

Twelve Hopkins stickmen contributed
to the Jay total, with two apiece by Bob
Sandell, Wilson Fewster and Harry
Marcopolus.

By Charley McGinnis

t^ONTINUING his march of Mary-
J land champions, Jack Faber in
1939 fielded one of the greatest lacrosse
teams ever to grace the black and gold,
capturing his third straight national
championship and sweeping through a
nine-game schedule with only two de-
feats.

These Terrapins were champions!
We picture them here hoping they will
serve as inspiration to present and
future Maryland athletes.

If there were to be one man among
those who represented Maryland on the
Lacrosse field that year to be singled
out as the margin of victory or defeat,
it would be a thick-necked, hell-for-
leather All-American who paced the
Old Liners' scoring in the first five
games and climaxed a sensational year
by pumping in six goals as Maryland
thumped Princeton, 7-4. Rip Hewitt,
one of the outstanding stickmen in the
nation during the 1938 season, staged
a repeat performace in 1939, much to
the delight of Faber and university
patrons.

One of the most pleasing aspects of
the campaign from the Maryland view-
point was an 11-1 shiner hung on the
Mount Washington club of Baltimore.
Annually one of the top tens in the
country and a continual stumbling
for the Terrapins, the Wolfpack found
the Liners a savage foe in the opening
game of the season and ripped open at

the seams and Hewitt & Co. poured on
the gas to revenge many a miserable
Saturday of the past.

Maryland, which had shared the na-
tional championship with Princeton in
1937, snuffed out any chance the Tigers
had of horning in on their honor in 1939
by running up seven goals in the early
periods and then coasting home to beat
their New Jersey rivals, 7-4. It was
here that Hewitt staged one of the
highest scoring sprees ever recorded by
a Maryland player.

Unlike the two seasons previous, Fa-
ber had little trouble moulding his
third championship club in a row. From
goalie to close attack the Terrapins
were solidly manned and, although
they did not appear to be any great
shucks at the outset of the season,
proved to be a clever, tireless outfit.

Jim Meade, converted from the foot-
ball field in 1938, again fitted in among
the lighter, fancier "good stickers"
from Baltimore's high schools and his
rugged defensive play was a keynote in
holding the club together.

Jack Grier and Johnny Muncks
alternated at the goal and, as witnessed
by the fact that only 25 goals were
scored against their efforts, that de-
partment was well handled. Mickey
Mullitz, George Lawrence, and Meade
handled the defensive posts, and Gary
Todd, Smiley Sexton, Oscar Nevares,
Chick Allen, and Willie Bond operated
in the attack positions.

Maryland's lone defeats were admin-
istered by the Baltimore Athletic Club,
a 6-5 job, and Johns Hopkins, 6-3, but
the Liners were a rugged, aggressive foe
for any club they met, and, save for
these losses, may well have checked out
with the best record ever turned in by
a Maryland team.

GOLF

George Washington

THE University of Maryland golf
team surprised a strong George
Washington University aggregation in
a Southern Conference match at Ken-
wood Golf and Country Club, 6-3.

The Maryland victory started with
the match between the captains, when
the Terps' Bill Cassedy surprised Bill
Griffin of the Colonials by a 3-and-2
margin for Griffin's second defeat of
the season.

V. M. I.

Maryland's golf team scored its
second victory of the season over Vir-
ginia Military Institute on the Prince
George's Country Club links, hVz-ZVz-

[44]

The Liners lost three straight
matches before Phippeny could produce
a 5 and 3 victory over the Cadets'
Poindexter to get them started to the
win.

At Annapolis

Led by Reed Phippeny, who fired an
82-84 over the tricky Naval Academy
layout, Maryland's golf team placed
second in the Academy's annual invi-
tation golf tournament which the hosts
won.

Other teams competing were Johns
Hopkins and Loyola.

The match closed the Terrapin's sea-
son and gave them a record of seven
victories, two losses, and a tie in dual
competition. The Liners split even in
tournament play, capturing the Western
Maryland open, and placing second in
the Naval Academy invitational.
Terps Take Title

Maryland University's golf team won
the Western Maryland College Invi-
tational gold tournament at Westmin-
ster, defeating 14 teams with a low
score of 610.

Leonard Leibman led the Liners with
a 72-75-147 low score.

Lehigh University of Pennsylvania
placed second with a 617 total, and
Loyola of Baltimore third with 621.

TRACK

Virginia

RUNNING over a heavy track and
straight through a heavy down-
pour, Maryland's trackmen nosed out
Virginia, 65% to 60%, while a small
army of schoolboy stars fought it out
for honors in their divisions as the
University of Maryland resumed its
annual field day at College Park.

Virginia won seven events to six for
Maryland in their dual meet and
shared in a triple-tie for high-jumping
honors, but the Terps' depth was the
decisive factor. The 220-yard dash,
final event, went to Walt Galliford of
Virginia, but he was the Cavaliers' lone
entry, running for a lost cause. Galli-
ford's time of 9.9 for the century and
22.2 in the 220 was exceptionally good
under prevailing conditions.
D. C. A. A. U.
Sterling Kehoe, a Maryland runner
who carries a German sniper's bullet
in his back as a memento of World War
II, provided the highlight performance
in winning the mile run in the annual
District A.A.U. track championships at
College Park.

Kehoe's performance was part of an
easy victory for Maryland. The Terps
marked up 51 points to 15 for George-
town, 11 for Catholic University, and 9
for American University. Washington
Track and Field club recorded three
points and unattached runners scored
another 3.

A check by officials after the meet
disclosed that Maryland's mile relay
team had set a Byrd Stadium record

with a mark of 3:26 minutes. Charley
Wilson, Mario Salvanelli, Tom Devlin
and Ed Mathews were the members of
the quartet that broke the previous
record of 3:27.2.

Ed Matthews had a double, taking
the 440 and 220, as did Mario Salva-
nelli with victories in the high and low
hurdles.

By compiling a record-breaking score
of 83 three points, North Carolina won
the Southern Conference track and
field meet at Durham. Duke was second
with 42 points.

Maryland U. was third, with 26 x k
points.

High scorer was Duke's Doug Aus-
bon. He won the 100-yard dash and the
broad jump, and finished second in the
220-yard run.

Eichorn of Maryland won the javelin
throw with a heave of 189 feet, 4y 2

whom it depends. In adapting programs
to their constituents, they have no such
reliable information as they do for
adapting crops to soil.

Nationality blocs are still strong in
some parts of Saskatchewan. Yet few
have studied how to use these blocs in
promoting the purposes of prosperous
agriculture. Under-currents of race
feeling are still to be found in the towns
as well as in the country areas. There
are few who can tell what this has to
do with cooperation. Age and educa-
tional cleavages may handicap the or-
derly processes of adult education, yet
few educators ever refer to them in
building their programs.

The languages of the sociologist and
the educational methodologist are
foreign to the tongues of agricultural
adult educators in Saskatchewan.
Whether the people of the great prairie
province will solve the problem of the
wheat economy without learning these
new languages is an open question.

The people of Saskatchewan already
know how to farm better than they do

INSTITUTE FOR
CHILD STUDY

(Concluded from Page 5)

Pi-esident Byrd and Dean Benjamin
came to feel that the University of
Maryland should take active steps to
make new scientific knowledge contin-
uously available to teachers and parents
and to provide direct consultant service
to the schools. Accordingly, they pro-
posed the establishment of an Institute
for Child Study and the recruitment of
a staff of sufficient size and compe-
tence to insure the further development
of the program. The people of Mary-
land appear to want the best possible
schools for their children. Members of
the State Department of Education and
local superintendents of schools have
shown a high level of professional
understanding and motivation and a
very sincere pattern of cooperation in
developing the child study program
during the past two years. All these
factors offer convincing evidence that
the Institute for Child Study can give
a demonstration in Maryland of the
application of scientific knowledge in
educational practice that will attract
national attention and influence the
work of schools throughout the nation.
In fact, we anticipate that many other
state universities will wish to duplicate
the services that Maryland will offer
the public schools and that the Insti-
tute will become an important agency
for training consulting experts who will
serve elsewhere.

We have worked out a plan for
financing the Institute for Child Study
whereby the University will contribute
approximately one half the costs, with-
out reimbursement, and school sys-
tems receiving services will pay the
other half of the costs as consultant
fees. If consultant fees amount to
more than this proportion of the
costs, the surplus will be ploughed
back into the work of the Institute
in the form of fellowships for graduate
students or in broadening the scope of
the research we shall make.

It should not be assumed from the
foregoing account of the background
and purposes of the Institute that its
program is completely cut and dried at
this point. Its primary aim will be to
serve the schools of the state and it
will, therefore, be ready to give school
people help on any problem where a
knowledge of the scientific principles
that explain human development and
behavior might be relevant. It is pos-
sible and even probable that the services
offered by the Institute will evolve as
concrete work on new problems opens
up leads to new patterns of helpfulness.

WE are getting a bit fed up with
the birds who are continually
sounding off about "Old Maryland" ana

whose fault is it?

OUR publication, "MARYLAND,"
is colorful and interesting. I
wish you the best of luck with it,"
writes F. W. Besley, '92, 303 Wendover
Road, Baltimore 18, Md.

Mr. G. Carville McCormick writes
from Tampa, Florida the following
praise of the publication and a few
notes on items published :

"The Medical Schools number of
'Maryland' contained many items of in-
terest to me. For instance, The article
on Miss Louisa Parsons was of special
interest as she pulled me through a
very severe attack of scarlet fever con-
tracted from immigrant patients in the
ward while I was an interne. The
names of Louis McLane Tiffany, I. E.
Atkinson, and St. Clair Spruill were
very familiar. . .1 have now retired
from active practice and spend my time
doing water color painting and read-
ing. . ."

Amos A. Holter writes from Freder-
ick:

"I express my appreciation for the
last several issues of the magazine now
known as "Maryland." The paper has
been published in a very attractive man-
ner, and I extend to you congratula-
tions for an excellent job to date
and a wish for continued success."

From Cumberland Samuel B. McFar-
lane wrftes as follows:

"This new publication is a real suc-
cess and it gives me great pleasure to
receive it. The magazine should do
much to effect the revitalization of the
alumni organization."

R. Karl Shank writes from Hagers-
town :

"It certainly is a pleasure to see the
plans that have been in development
for reorganization of the alumni. I am
sure that they will pay dividends for
the University. I certainly wish yon
every success and am sure that you will
have the wholehearted cooperation of
the alumni."

California sends its contributions
through Robert P. Straka:

"The alumni organization is to be
congratulated for issuing "Maryland,"
and Harvey Miller and his staff are
doing a fine job. From my California
observation post it appears that the
alumni body back in College Park is
doing an excellent job in building up a
strong and well-balanced organization."
Dora Rowe Digby writes from Lan-
sing, Michigan :

"May I compliment you on the new
publication "Maryland." It's a real in-
spiration that makes my college days
seem alive and around me once more.
I haven't visited the campus since 1940,

and it is a thrill to read what all of
my old friends are doing."

Helen Stephens writes from Wash-
ington, D. C. :

"May I congratulate you on the ex-
cellent alumni magazine which is be-
ing published by the Maryland Alumni
Association. I look forward to receiv-
ing each new issue."

Mr. Ted Bissel, B.S. 1920, writes to
Dr. Byrd to commend the publication:
"I want to speak about the handsome
publication, Maryland, that the Univer-
sity is putting out now. It is full of
fine articles, and my wife and I are
very glad to receive it and enjoy read-
ing it."

T. Ray Stanton writes from nearby
Beltsville to commend "Maryland" and
the growth of the University:

"I believe "Maryland" is one of the
finest university publications in the
country.

"The development of the University
at College Park has been almost phe-
nomenal and has been of great interest
to me, as I am a member of the class of
1910 of the old M.A.C. In a span of 37
years, there has been an increase from
the 200 students in my college days to
over 7000 at present. What a change!
"I urge all alumni to support the
splendid new magazine Maryland and
thus help make it a success."

From Catonsville writes Rita C.
Frey :

"This magazine is more like it! Each
edition is better than the one before —
so many juicy pages."

From Oaklyn, N. Y. Arthur D.
Bowers writes a short commendation:
"The issuance of this magazine is a
praiseworthy effort and gives us a
publication comparable to those of
other universities. I trust there will be
sufficient appreciation and support on
the part of the alumni body to keep it
going."

From West Virginia comments
Charles Wilhelm, '21, '22:

"The alumni publication which you
now are issuing is a great improve-
ment over the previous types, and is one
that is worthy of support."

R. Karl Shank writes from Hagers-
town :

"It is gratifying to see such a fine
step both to organize the alumni, and
also to see that the news is circulated
by means of this fine publication."

From Catonsville, Maryland writes
Millard C. Ross: "I have enjoyed read-
ing every issue of Maryland very much
and hope you keep up the good work."
Writes Colonel Bob Jones, of the Ath-
letic Department at Clemson Agricul-
tural College, "Congratulations on the
fine magazine you are putting out at
Maryland. It is a pity that all colleges
in this country do not have a publica-
tion of this type."

"Allow me to congratulate you on the
splendid publication you are putting

out, as well as on your excellent box-
ing team of this year. Both are fine
examples of outstanding work at Mary-
land," writes G. Franklyn Mclnturff,

every old grad should give his unquali-
fied support to your publication, and
will do everything possible in my line
to help."

Dr. Carl P. Schott, Dean of the Penn
State College of Physical Education
writes :

"Thanks for having sent to me copies
of the Maryland Alumni publication.
These are very interesting and cer-
tainly tell a story that is not only of
interest to Alumni of Maryland but to
graduates from other colleges as well.
I want to compliment the Alumni As-
sociation of Maryland for the very ex-
cellent publication which they put out."
"I considered the first numbers of
"MARYLAND" the finest all-around
collegiate publication I had ever been
privileged to read," writes Walter A.
Rath, D.D.S., 1835 Eye St., N.W.,
Washington, D. C, "but it grows better
and better with each issue. The Medi-
cal Schools Number, featuring with the
other schools your fine old School of
Dentistry was excellently impressive.
The University may well be proud of
that magazine. It is beautiful, instruc-
tive, alive and breathing with person-
ality. Congratulations on a great job."
"We wish to thank the staff respon-
sible for producing 'MARYLAND',"
writes Betty L. Kirk, '38, 1011 Bridges

joy it greatly and look forward to its
coming each month as a means of keep-
ing us in touch with the University".
"MARYLAND fills a great need. It
is a fine paper. Please keep on sending it
to me", writes Walter J. Keefe, M.D.,

"MARYLAND is a fine magazine. It
deserves all the success in the world and
that is what I wish for it".

"The new alumni program and the
magazine appear to be most promis-
ing and congratulations are due to
those responsible for its development",
writes Rolf L. Allen, '34, 131 R. Street,
N. E., Washington, D. C.

Writes R. W. Baldwin, Supervisor,
Maryland Casualty Company, 925 La-
fayette Building, Detroit, Mich.

"Words cannot adequately express
my appreciation for receiving the splen-
did new magazine being put out by the
Alumni Association," writes R. W.
Baldwin, Supervisor, "and I can assure
you that I will look forward to receiv-
ing it during the coming months. As I
think back on the early struggles we
had, I am amazed at the great stride
being made by the present publication."

TALKING TURTLE

By DAVID L. BRIGHAM

General Alumni Secretary

"Remember the turtle: He progresses
only when his neck is out, but De-
mobilizes himself when he jiulls it
in."

SEVERAL progressive steps have
been taken in recent months. All
concern you, the University of Mary-
land, and the future of alumni activi-
ties. Each is designed^ to encourage
your interest in both building and sup-
porting a strong alumni organization.
Briefly, this is the action which has
been taken :

The Alumni News discarded its
cocoon and almost overnight became
the full size magazine "Maryland."
We feel this publication is unexcelled
in the alumni field.

Alumni history questionaires were
sent to all former students whose
addresses were available. Over 10,-
000 have been completed and re-
turned. Is yours in?

A Board of Managers, consisting
of alumni in close proximity to the
University and readily available for
meetings, was selected, by alumni in
attendance at Homecoming last fall.
These representatives hold monthly
conferences.

A full time office of alumni affairs
was established with the two imme-
diate objectives of obtaining accu-
rate addresses of all graduates and
compiling records of their activities.
Regular alumni dues to the Gen-
eral Association were discontinued,
thereby giving each alumnus the op-
portunity to contribute to the sup-
port of "Maryland" and other alum-
ni activities as he or she sees fit.
Now our attention is focused on your
future support. We enlist your back-
ing in three major directions:

By voluntary contributions — The
first $3.00 will be earmarked as your
subscription to "Maryland."

By submitting news items — send
us news about yourself and other
former students concerning marri-
ages, births, deaths, activities, and
reunions.

Assist in locating alumni — help us
locate any former students now
out of touch with the University and
notify us promptly of any change
of address on your part. This is ex-
tremely important, since the Post Of-
fice Department does not forward
second class matter.
Gloccamorra is said to be the initial
point for starting to find the pot of
gold at the end of the rainbow. We
find ourselves at that point as con-
struction commences on the foundation
of what we hope to make an ideal alum-

ni structure. This must be a dual ef-
fort with the burden carried equally by
both the University and the alumni.
Neither can be expected to do all the
contributing while the other merely re-
ceives. A thumbnail inventory of the
situation reveals several interesting
facts.

The UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND
gave each graduate at least a portion
of the tools for facing life. These are
now directly used in professional en-
deavors, are contributing to personal
pleasures or are held in reserve as an
entering wedge to future opportunities.
Through publications, personal con-
tacts, and reunions the University re-
calls for graduates the old experiences,
past events, and memories of campus
days. Even more important is the
present pride each alumnus must have
in the steady progress of the institu-
tion to its present position of promi-
nence and leadership.

The ALUMNI in turn must direct to
the University a steady stream of alert,

high caliber students. From the grad-
uates must come the gifts that may
well be called the life blood of the in-
stitution. These may be in the form
of scholarships, endowments, cash,
memorials, or books, to mention only a
few. Above all each alumnus must lend
the active support which will guaran-
tee the fulfillment of the best inter-
ests of the University.

On the opposite page appear ex-
tracts from letters, selected at random,
from an ever-increasing mail, showing
reader re-action to "Maryland."

It has been well said "No man re-
ceives more from an organization than
he himself puts into it." We want
you to have the best the University
has to offer and in return ask your
support for the University of Mary-
land, the publication "Maryland," and
future alumni activities. All are here
to serve you and for you to serve. To-
gether we go forward.

C
[

"MARYLAND," the publication of the alumni of the Univer- i

sity of Maryland, is keeping pace, in size and appearance, with the [

rapid growth of the University as a whole. The inside back cover [

tells you more about it. j

[
[
RE you an active alumnus, the

kind that would be missed?

Or are you quite contented that your [

name is on the list? [

Do you take an active interest and

mingle with the flock? f

Or do you stay within your shell and [
sit around and knock?

Do you take an active part to help j

alumni work along? I

Or are you satisfied to be the kind that

"just belong"?
Do you ever dig into your purse to i

make the outfit click? j

Or leave the work to others and talk

about "that clique?" I

There's quite a program going on which

you should have heard about,

It will be appreciated, too, if you will

help it out!
So join the throng for Maryland and

help with hand and heart,
Don't "just be" an alumnus, but take

an active part.
Think this over, Brother Terrapin, as

you know right from wrong,
Are you an active member or do you

"just belong"?

Work is underway in developing, centralizing, and vitalizing the

organization of alumni so that alumni strength and influence will be

commensurate with the number of alumni. In this development
"Maryland" plays a vital part. Your help is needed.

BY HIS EXCELLENCY
THE HONORABLE

William Preston Lane, Jr.

Governor of Maryland

YOUR President has just paid me a
high compliment on my interest in
education and on what my administra-
tion was able to accomplish in the re-
cent session of the General Assembly to
help the educational institutions of the
State. These kind and appreciative
words naturally give me a sense of
gratification. I would be a little less
than human were it otherwise. But I
seek no personal credit for what has
been achieved. I wanted the State of
Maryland to have the benefit of the ex-
panded program of public education
because I believe the essential sound-
ness of such a policy, and I believe that
such an effort was, and is needed if we
as a nation are to prosper and the
ideals of this nation are to endure.

For whatever I may have done, or
may do, I look for no personal credit
other than the satisfaction which one
finds in his own heart as a result of
effort expended in a worthy cause.

Whatever I have done was motivated
solely by my firm belief in the inherent
and potential values in public education.
Because of this belief, I would like to
talk briefly about those causes which
prompted me to assist the heads of our
educational system, of which this Uni-
versity is a part, to give to the people
of Maryland and their children the op-
portunities that come with the power of
knowledge.

"We, the People"

The people of Maryland, when they
adopted in 1867 the present constitu-
tion, stated as a preamble to their dec-
laration of rights: 'We, the people of
the State of Maryland Grateful to Al-
mighty God for our civil and religious
liberty, and taking into our serious con-
sideration the best means of establish-
ing a good Constitution in this state for
the sure foundation and more perma-
nent security thereof, declare . . ."

And then, in Article 43, among the
rights enumerated, added the declara-
tion:

"That the Legislature ought to

A DEGREE FOR HIS EXCELLENCY

His Excellency, the Honorable William Preston Lane, Jr., Governor of Maryland (left), receives

cises at College Park.

encourage the diffusion of knowledge
and virtue, the extension of a judicious
system of general education, the pro-
motion of literature, the arts, sciences,
agriculture, commerce and manufac-
tures, and the general amelioration of
the condition of the people."

Article 43

Unquestionably, the interpretation of
Article 43 of Maryland's Declaration of
Rights is that we should give to our
youth all that education and knowledge
which is necessary to enable succeeding
generations to assume the increasingly
complex responsibilities that are to be
met in the nation's social, economic and
governmental life. In stating such a
thesis, and in applying it, as I, in my
humble way, attempted to apply it in
the recent session of the Legislature,
I am not unmindful that there are a
few who are willing to criticize such a
program, and that there are some who
protest against the taxes necessary to
pay the cost thereof.

To those few who may be critical of
our expanded educational program I
say that I know of no surer way to pre-
serve American ideals than by teaching

[11

our youth the value of these ideals;
that I know of no surer way to help
the youth of this State to succeed in
life, than to give them the kind of
training and education necessary to
equip them to live and prosper in a
highly competitive world.

Simple Question

Of those who may be critical of the
cost of our educational program, I ask
this simple question, "Are you not will-
ing to expend a reasonable share of
your income and should not the State
be willing to expend a reasonable
share of its wealth to insure for your
son or daughter a secure future in life."

To this question I am confident of
what the answer of the majority of our
people will be. ,

It is true that the appropriations
from general funds in the State bud-
get for the next biennium have in-
creased by the amount of $53,883,922,
but few people in Maryland realize that
practically 65% of this large increase,
or the sum of $34,941,243 has been ap-
propriated to the increased cost and
the expansion of our system of educa-
tion. We in Maryland have faced two

clear alternatives. On the one hand,
we have been confronted with the
choice, because of insufficient funds, of
permitting our educational system to
sink to a low comparative level among
the other States of the Union. On the
other hand, we had the other choice,
through vision and sacrifice, of putting
Maryland in the happy position of be-
ing able, within a reasonable time, to
improve the educational opportunities
of our children to a point comparable
with the leading States of this country.

Chose High Road

We have chosen the latter, the high
road of educational progress and have
adopted an expanded program of educa-
tion for the State that calls for fair
compensation for teachers, for smaller
classes, for high school supervision on
the local level, for visiting teachers,
for the raising of the compulsory school
age, for State aid to public junior col-
leges, for greater aid for vocal rehabili-
tation, for State aid for public libraries,
for State aid in the construction of
schools, and for greater payment by the
State of the total cost of education in
order that no county or Baltimore City
may incur an undue burden in carrying
out our minimum program.

We can now face the future confident
in our belief that we have acquitted
ourselves in the debt we owe to future
generations to provide for their ade-
quate education.

Life in the early days of our republic
was one of comparatively simple proc-
esses. Even in 1867, when the Mary-
land Declaration of Rights was adopted,
life had not become involved in the
many complexities that modern day
science and communication have de-
veloped. Now, when powers never be-
fore dreamed of are in our hands, when
the obligations of our nation to the rest
of the world have become so err°it that
we dare not shirk them our best re-
course, so far as I can see, is to teach
our people, the advancing generations,
how to develop and control those
powers; yes, and how to develop even
greater powers, and thereby evolve
from the complexities of government, of
business, of sometimes unworkable
laws, a system of life which will enable
our children to attain a greater measure
of contentment and happiness than we,
or our fathers have been privileged to
know.

Dismal Predictions

Too often, from men in public life,
and from the pulpit, and from our in-
dustrial and business leaders, we hear
dire and dismal predictions for the
world of tomorrow. I am not one of
those who believes that all government,
all business, all monetary standards,
and mankind are headed for destruc-
tion. Neither am I one of those who

believes that mankind is standing at a
cross road, that in one direction lies
complete success, in the other, failure
and destruction. Rather do I believe
that mankind today stands on the
threshold of new corridors of magnifi-
cent opportunities.

Throughout the ages, there have al-
ways been those who regarded the fu-
ture as black and impenetrable, who
saw in the future of man only misfor-
tune and disaster. It is amusing to
recall some of the dire predictions that
have been made, and then to see, in the
light of following events, how com-
pletely silly they have proved to be,
although probably considered in all
seriousness at the time of their utter-
ances.

"HOLD IT!"

(By Hank Barrow, Associate Press)

In the 1840's the Commissioner of
Patents of the United States said
that the limit of inventive genius had
been reached and recommended that the
U. S. Patent Office be closed!

In the light of what we have seen
since 1840, that statement seems to us
almost idiotic. Since then have come
the inventions that have eased the bur-
dens of everyday life; since then have
come automobiles, the radio, the air-
plane, typewriters, electric lights and
countless scientific and commonplace
devices that have made our days more
pleasant. We now know that there are
unlimited fields for man's inventive
genius to explore. I believe that the
future will see scientific developments
that will dim into insignificance what
we today enjoy as the progress of the
ages.

Perhaps I should qualify this state-
ment by saying that I believe these
things will come to pass, if you and I
do not become frightened at the mag-
nitude of the possibilities that lie
ahead.

What are these possibilities?

In the sciences, they are almost lim-
itless. Man for centuries has dreamed

of unlocking the power of the atom.
Save for a venturesome few, most men
considered that the force of the atom
lay within the realm of the omnipotent,
and never would be found. Today, that
power is in our hands. No one can with
assurance delimit the benefits and ad-
vantages of the constructive application
of this power in days to come.

I am told that some of our scientists
are closer to a determination of the
properties of the cosmic ray, and how
to harness it, than most of us realize.
We now know some of the effects of
this ray, both good and bad. What do
we know about the uses to which this
ray may be put, once it be harnessed
through scientific discovery and inven-
tive genius ?

Much to be Learned

In the medical world, in our lifetime,
we have seen great progress through
the discovery of new drugs and the ap-
plication of new surgical technique, but
the knowledge thus far gained only
serves to make us realize how much
more there is to be learned. Only re-
cently, one of the chemists of this Uni-
versity discovered a new drug which is
a cure for a disease for which no cure
had hitherto been known. How many
years will it be before another trained
mind discovers a way to relieve man of
the scourge of cancer, of some of our
blood diseases, or give us corrective
knowledge of glandular troubles?

Not only in science is there oppor-
tunity for creative genius and discov-
ery. It has been said that the develop-
ments in science have gone far beyond
our abilities to direct these develop-
ments to the welfare of the people.
There is no broader field for advance-
ment than the social sciences. All
around us we see the ravages of war.
We know that war is stupid and de-
structive. Our great military leaders,
our publ'c officials and our people, gen-
erally, hate war. Virtually all the peo-
ple of the world abhor the thought of
war, yet we do not know how to prevent
it. Certainly that brings us to the
realization that we still have much to
learn about how to live.

Some Fair Questions

In our domestic life, who among our
people knows how to prevent clashes
between capital and labor?

Who has been able to work out a
satisfactory system of distribution of
our agricultural products ?

Who among our great business and
industrial leaders has been able to de-
vise a plan by which we can eliminate
practices that prevent the consumer
from getting better products at lower
cost?

Who is there among us who is able

COLLEGE OF ARTS AND SCIENCES

THE College of Arts and Sciences is
the largest college in the Univer-
sity and comprises a number of depart-
ments offering work at the undergradu-
ate and the graduate levels. The ac-
tivities of the staff are concerned with
research, instruction, and guidance. Dr.
J. Freeman Pyle is Acting Dean of this
College.

Registration Increase

The registration in the College has
increased greatly since 1944 when the
total registration was 980; in the spring
semester of 1946 the number went up
to 1360; in the fall semester of 1946
the total registration rose to 2200. The
faculty of the College teaches large
numbers of students registered in other
colleges. During the fall semester of
1946 the number was equivalent to 13,-
089 students taking one course in the
College of Arts and Sciences.

The following brief statements con-
cerning several of the departments in-
dicate the important part the College
plays in the work of the University and
the contribution its faculty makes to-
ward the welfare of the state and the
nation.

Bacteriology

The Department of Bacteriology is
organized with three objectives in view.
They are as follows:

1. To make available to all students
of the University course work
which will provide them with a
general knowledge of the science
of bacteriology and its practical
applications. Advanced course
work permits the students to pur-
sue extensively the fundamental
and applied phases of bacteriol-
ogy.

2. To provide specialized training so
that students may qualify for po-
sitions as bacteriologists in fed-
eral, state and municipal labora-
tories; hospital, clinic or private
laboratories; as well as the control
and research laboratories of in-
dustry.

3. To encourage and foster original
thought and pursuit of research
in fundamental and applied bac-
teriology. Facilities are provided
for extensive research in any
phase of the fundamental science
as well as the applied fields such
as medical, dairy, food, soil and
sanitary bacteriology.
The scope of the extra-departmental
activities may be summarized as fol-
lows:

land's Colleges

Services are made available to other
departments of the University who may
desire special studies concerning bac-
teriological problems. Cooperative in-
vestigations are undertaken with the
Live Stock Sanitary Service Laboratory
on bacteriological problems which arise
in the field of Veterinary medicine.
Close association is maintained with the
State Department of Health Labora-
tories in order to keep abreast of cur-
rent laboratory problems in the field
of public health and to coordinate ideas

of training of prospective bacteriolo-
gists who choose to enter this field.
A cooperative research program has
been undertaken between this depart-
ment and the Federal Fish and Wild-
life Service. This involves investiga-
tions particularly in the sea food in-
dustry.

Frequent Requests

Frequently the department receives
requests from industrial concerns for
assistance in the study of some bac-
teriological problem. Such studies are
undertaken after careful consideration
of the proposed project indicates that
the work can be satisfactorily per-
formed.

Active associations are also main-
tained with the personnel of such
agencies as the National Institute of
Health, the Food and Drug Administra-
tion of the Department of Agriculture

and various sections of the Beltsville
Research Center.

The future development of the Bac-
teriology Department will be along the
following lines:

1. To provide the best possible facili-
ties (personnel as well as physical
equipment) for instruction and research
in bacteriology.

2. To maintain close associations and
to provide services when desired for
other departments of the University.

3. To maintain and extend contacts
with the bacteriology sections of vari-
ous State and Federal agencies.

4. To assist industrial organizations
with research whenever the facilities
of the department will permit.

English

The English Department teaches the
largest number of students at the Uni-
versity of Maryland and presents ex-
tremely varied offerings. The nearly
sixty members of the staff teach
courses ranging from fundamental
classes required of freshmen and soph-
omores through classes open to grad-
uate students only. The work has to do
with language, with expository and
creative writing, with news writing,
with literary history, with methods of
research, with literary criticism, and
with the appreciative understanding of
the greatest and most various of all
literatures, the English and American.

American Civilization

At the freshmen and sophomore level,
required courses form part of the basic
program in American Civilization. They
are intended to aid in developing well-
rounded citizens capable of occupying
positions of leadership in democratic
society. Readings in the freshmen year
contribute directly to the student's
understanding of American civilization.
Readings in the sophomore year aid
the student in understanding the great
cultures which have contributed to
American culture and help him to see
American civilization in proper per-
spective against its European back-
ground. At the same time, the student
has the experience of studying texts
for their formal values as works of
art. In the first semester of 1946-47,
approximately 4,800 students enrolled
in the basic English courses. More
than 3,300 of these students were regis-
tered in colleges other than the College
of Arts and Sciences.

Many purposes and interests are
served by the elective courses intended
primarily for juniors, seniors, and grad-

uates. Writing courses aid students in-
terested in journalism, creative writing,
or the preparation of technical papers.
Advanced work in grammar, language,
and literature help prepare the pro-
spective teacher for a place in Mary-
land's public and private schools.
Every student may elect from a num-
ber of reading courses. He may, for
example, study Beowulf, Chaucer,
Shakespeare, Milton, Tennyson, Emer-
son, or Eugene O'Neill. He may elect
courses in periods of English or Ameri-
can literature, courses dealing with one
or more great writers, or courses deal-
ing with literary types. In the first
term of 1946-47, more than four hun-
dred registrants took advanced work
in English.

Opportunity to Develop

The rapid expansion of the Univer-
sity has presented the English Depart-
ment with an opportunity to develop
its program of graduate studies. In
addition to its full-time graduate stu-
dents, the department now instructs
more than twenty graduates who de-
vote half-time to advanced studies and

half-time to teaching. Both total grad-
uate enrollment and the number of
graduate assistants will undoubtedly in-
crease in the next few years. Having
completed their studies, many of these
graduates will go out to teach in the
high schools of Maryland and will aid in
giving the students of the state effec-
tive instruction in English. Others will
teach in colleges or will find places for
themselves in such professions as jour-
nalism.

English Department

The English Department depends
primarily on members of its full-time
faculty as instructors for its graduate
classes, but it also relies on several
part-time lecturers. The department ex-
pects to offer additional single courses
by prominent scholars from time to
time. For some years, the Acting Di-
rector of the Folger Shakespeare Li-
brary has given graduate instruction at
the University in literature of the Re-
naissance, and since February 1947, the
Director of the Division of Music and
Folklore at the Library of Congress
has offered instruction in American

folklore for graduates and undergrad-
uates. Students in classes in folklore
will deposit in the library of the Uni-
versity materials which they gather
throughout Maryland. The value of the
collection of Maryland ballads, legends,
superstitions, and other folk materials
will increase with the years.

The department of English cooper-
ates with other departments to offer
work leading to the bachelor's degree
and to advanced degrees in American
Civilization. Students working in
American Civilization and stressing li-
terature will normally take several
special courses taught by members of
the English Department, such as a
course in the literature of American
democracy, a course in American folk-
lore, and a conference course in which
small groups of students working under
the supervision of one or more faculty
members from the English and another
department will make a close study of
eight or ten germinal American books,
receiving at the same time training in
group discussion and in independent
investigation.

Foreign Languages

The work of the Foreign Language
Department extends into many phases
of the University, from elementary in-
struction in languages to work for the
doctor's degree in the Graduate School.
The greatest part of the work of the
staff is absorbed in the teaching of
French, German, Spanish, Russian and
Hebrew to undergraduate students.
About half the students at the College
Park campus take part in this work.

Advanced undergraduate courses are
likewise offered in the fields of lan-
guage and literary study. The under-
graduate major is offered in two
groups; the first being for students
having a cultural interest in the study
of literature and language, and par-
ticularly those preparing themselves
for a teaching career. The second type
of major is for students preparing
themselves for foreign service in vari-
ous fields, and endeavors to give the
student a speaking knowledge of the
language through intensive training in
conversation courses, while the minor
is taken up with work in economics,
sociology and political science, history,
and kindred subjects selected in each
case with the aid of the student's ad-
visor.

Graduate School
In the Graduate School, advanced
work is offered both in the study of
language as a linguistic phenomenon,
' and in the study of literature in the
various tongues, with an aim toward
gaining an appreciation of the values
of aesthetic expression.

Finally, the Department has played a
leading role in establishing work in

comparative or world literature. This
is an attempt to break down the bar-
riers between various departments by
offering the students, in English trans-
lation, the opportunity of studying
classical English and other literatures.

History

The Department of History has had
to assume greatly increased responsi-
bilities because of the introduction of
the program in the American studies
which requires undergraduates of all
the colleges to enroll in the History of
American Civilization, normally in the
sophomore year. This requirement will
involve about 3000 students in the first
normal year of operation, which will be
1947-48. In presenting this course, the
department aims to give the student an
understanding of the particular con-
tribution made by Americans to the
development of democracy and an ap-
preciation of the American way of life.
This is in no sense to disparage what
other nations have contributed to the
development of free institutions nor to
prove that our democracy has attained
perfection. Rather our goal is to trace
ideals as mirrored in the American way
of life and to show that our America
is the composite of many racial groups
which have been welded into a great
nation by common experiences, common
aspirations and common ideals. Such
a contribution is a worthy objective to
be set by a university in this era when
freedom is threatened on every hand
and when citizens need to know more
than at any time in history that eter-
nal vigilance is the price of liberty.

The Department of History partic-
ipates in the sequence of courses lead-
ing to an undergraduate major in
American Civilization and to graduate
degrees of M.^. and Ph.D. in the same
field.

While principal emphasis is placed
upon the American Civilization pro-
gram, the wider field is by no means
neglected. In addition to the more or
less conventional period courses in
Ancient and Modern European history,
the department recognizes its respon-
sibility to a global-minded generation
in offering opportunity to study in such
fields as Russian history, Latin Ameri-
can history and the History of the
British Empire and Commonwealth.
Such courses for Ame± ~tudents are

more important than ever in view of
the fact that they touch the personal
experience of so many of our veterans
and because of the much greater re-
sponsibilities being assumed by the
United States in world affairs.

The instructional staff in 1946-47 in-
cludes four teachers of full professorial
rank, two associate professors and four
assistant professors. They represent a
diversified background having received
their graduate training in such widely
scattered institutions as Stanford Un-
versity, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Chicago,
Harvard, and Columbia. Additional in-
structors are being added to meet the
demands of a rapidly increasing enroll-
ment in the University.

From Vanderbilt

In order to give added strength and
prestige to the American Civilization
program, the Administration has pro-
vided for a visiting professor of na-
tional reputation to offer courses in
the summer session and for a visiting
lecturer of like status to offer a grad-
uate seminar during the regular aca-
demic year. Professor Frank L. Owsley
of Vanderbilt University will be the
first visiting professor under this ar-
rangement in the summer session of
1947. Professor Owsley is perhaps the

outstanding authority on Confederate
history. He is the author of King Cot-
ton Diplomacy: The Foreign Relations
of the Confederate States of America
and of States Rights in the Confedera-
cy, as well as other monographs and
studies in the field of Southern history.
A native of Alabama, Professor Ows-
ley did his graduate work under the
late Professor William E. Dodd of the
University of Chicago. He has been at
Vanderbilt since 1920. In 1941 he was
president of the Southern Historical
Association. With Professor 0. P.
Chitwood of West Virginia, he is com-
pleting a two volume college text in
American history entitled A Short His-
tory of the American People. Volume
one was published in 1945 and volume
two will follow this year. Professor
Owsley will offer an undergraduate
course in the History and Culture of
the Ante Bellum South and a graduate
seminar on Reconstruction and Its
Aftermath.

An announcement of the appointment
of the first visiting lecturer for the
academic year of 1947-48 is expected
soon.

Mathematics

The present work of the department
centers around the teaching of math-
ematics and mathematics research.

The courses offered by the depart-
ment fall into two broad categories:

1. Service courses for students whose
primary interests lie in fields other
than mathematics.

2. Courses intended primarily for
students who wish to prepare them-
selves for a career in mathematics.

In the first category we find courses
in mathematics taken by students in
Agriculture, Chemistry, Engineering,
Education, Home Economics, Physics,

Pre-Medical and Pie-Dental. In addi-
tion to acquiring skills and technique
necessary in the above fields, courses
in mathematics offer the student train-
ing in precise thinking.

In addition to courses on the campus,
the department is sponsoring a number
of courses at the advanced level at the
Naval Research Laboratory, the Na-
val Ordnance Laboratory, and the
Taylor Model Basin. Through the me-
dium of these courses, the department
enables young scientists in these lab-
oratories to continue their studies to-
wards an advanced degree and to im-
prove their technical training.

Various Fields

The research activities of the staff
indicated by its publications lie in the
fields of analysis, algebra, geometry,
topology, and applied mathematics. In
the field of applied mathematics, we
have recently included a research con-
tract with the Navy sponsored by the
David Taylor Model Basin to develop
mathematical and numerical methods
for designing and determining the
characteristics of mechanical, electrical,
and other physical problems having
single, multiple, or infinite degrees of
freedom. We expect to enter upon a
similar contract with the Navy for
the investigation of Mathematical prob-
lems connected with the design of ser-
vo-mechanisms.

Each week the department holds a
colloquium devoted to the exposition
of current research conducted by the
staff and graduate students and to re-
ports upon scientific papers appearing
in recent mathematical journals.

The future plans for the department
include the establishment of a Math-
ematics Club under Professor Jackson
to foster interest in mathematics
among the undergraduates. To meet the
demands for training leading to the
doctorate we are developing a well
rounded program of graduate work and
research in algebra, analysis, geometry,
topology, and applied mathematics.

Physics

The Department hopes to have a new
and well equipped laboratory in the

near future. The work in phys'cs w'll
then be greatly extended. The under-
graduate courses will be arranged to
meet the interests of a greater number
of students. Courses leading to the
degree in engineering physics will be
added to those in pure physics. The
space and equipment will make possible
extensive programs of both acadenr'c
and industrial research. The present
lack of space and facilities have preven-
ed the Department from taking re-
search projects. Graduate students will
have ample provisions for research, and
a greater number can be accommodat-
ed.

Close Relationships

The Department should be a center
of activity in physics in the State of
Maryland. Close relationships with in-
dustry and technical societies will be
maintained and the Department will
take an active interest in meeting the
problems arising in industry or in the
Government. Teachers of physics in
the public schools should look to and
find the Department a ready source of
information, on teaching problems such
as outlining courses in physics, buying
books and laboratory equipment, and
giving lectures on current topics.

Along with the development of aca-
demic and industrial activities, it is
proposed that the Department expand
in the field of bio-physics. In the near
future, it is hoped that this work will
be sufficiently established to maintain
cooperation with the medical school and
all biological departments in extensive
research and training of students in
the field.

"SOURCE OF AMAZEMENT"

The growing demand for more edu-
cation started by the GI Bill of Rights
is here to stay and will increase. Mary-
land must meet it with a permanent
State Board of Higher Education, the
legislative council was told.

William L. Marbury, who heads the
Governor's Commission on Higher Edu-
cation, said this was the inescapable
and unanimous conclusion of the com-

[6]

mission from its 384-page report on
Maryland's colleges and universities.

A State system of junior colleges and
more aid for Morgan State College for
Negroes also are programs "for which
we found no real alternative," Marbury
said.

He said what the University of Mary-
land has been able to accomplish on the
little State aid it has had "is a source
of amazement."

"The support we have given Mary-
land is nothing to be proud of in com-
parison with what other States do,"
Marbury added.

The commission recommends that
Maryland University be expande i to a
capacity of 10,000 students and that
all teacher training be done there in-
stead of at State teachers colleges, Ma -
bury added.

Marbury told the council "Maryland
ranks forty-fifth in post-high school op-
portunities offered in the 48 States, but
Maryland still contributes more to in-
stitutions of higher education than any
other comparable State."

"We have reached a new plateau of
demand for education," he said. "The
problem is how to supply it at the least
cost to the taxpayers."

Marbury said the most efficient sys-
tem of junior colleges would mean
eliminating State aid to St. Mary's
Seminary in Southern Maryland, Frost-
burg State Teachers College, Coppin
Teachers College and Princess Anne
College.

"We can't afford useless duplication,"
he said. "The State must provide new
junior colleges near population centers."
He said Washington College should
be taken over by the State, in order to
provide a cultural center for the East-
ern Shore.

"The college is practically State-con-
trolled and State-supported already,"
he said.

The commission recommends that
State aid be discontinued for St. John's
College in Annapolis, "wh ; ch doesn't
qualify graduates to teach and largely
benefits out-of-Staters," Marbury said.
St. John's ranks about with the Pea-
body Library or Walters Art Gallery as
a cultural asset to Maryland, he said.

THE Chemistry Department com-
prises five major subdivisions in
which instruction is offered in the fields
of analytical chemistry, bio-chemistry,
general and inorganic chemistry, or-
ganic chemistry and physical chemistry.
Graduate work in metallurgy and high-
polymer chemistry will be offered when
the facilities of the projected new
Chemistry Building become available.
The department not only provides in-
struction leading to the B.S., M.S. and
Ph.D. degrees in chemistry but also
such instruction in chemistry as may be
necessary to the curricula of other de-
pai-tments and colleges.

The Staff

Three professors, five associate pro-
fessors, and four assistant professors
comprise the present permanent staff.
Fifty-nine graduate students assist the
permanent staff mainly by supervision
cf laboratory work. Two more assis-
tant professors and another associate
professor will be added to the perma-
nent staff as soon as possible.

Research Constitutes
Great Part Of
Chemistry's
Activities

By Professor Nathan L. Drake

Head, Chemistry Department

Research is conducted by the perma-
nent staff and by graduate students
under the direction of staff members.
No small part of the funds for the sup-
port of this research is supplied by
outside agencies; a number of research
fellowships requiring no service to the
department are available to properly
qualified advanced graduate students.
One such fellowship, the Dupont Pre-
doctoral Fellowship, is awarded for the
period of the last predoctoral year to
an outstanding candidate for the Ph.D.
degree in chemistry; the present in-
cumbent is Mr. John A. Garman. Mr.
E. H. Price, a Maryland undergraduate
and returned veteran, holds one of the

predoctoral fellowships awarded on a
country-wide basis by the American
Chemical Society to outstanding stu-
dents who are studying for the Ph.D.
degree. This fellowship was awarded
for a period of 36 months.

Reduced Scale

During the war years the normal
academic activities of staff members
continued on a reduced scale. However,
the Army's A.S.T. program made de-
mands upon the department which more
than offset the decline in normal regis-
trations. Registrations in courses in
general chemistry rose from a prewar
average of about seven hundred to well
over a thousand. Above the freshman
level classes were very small and nor-
mal graduate work gave way to re-
search sponsored by the Committee on
Medical Research and the National De-
fense Research Committee, agencies op-
erating under the Office of Scientific
Research and Development.

Research was conducted on the de-
tection of chemical warfare agents, in-
sect repellents and DDT, and antima-
larial drugs. Our major effort was de-
voted to the preparation of potential
antimalarials; intermediates from lab-
oratories all over the country were sent
here for combination into finished drugs
for test purposes. The writer will never
forget one of the most hectic periods
of this work when it became necessary
to supply several kilograms of the
drug now known as chloroquin for
large scale clinical experiments. Chloro-
quin was described in patent literature,
but little other data of consequence
were available to serve as a guide in
its preparation. After preliminary
small scale experiments, a production
line was operated in shifts in our lab-
oratories twenty-four hours a day,
seven days a week preparing drug from
intermediates obtained from various
other laboratories. In retrospect it is
gratifying to note that chloroquin has
found extensive use as a suppressive
and as a cure for the clinical manifes-
tations of malaria; the drug possesses
many advantages over atabrine for
these purposes.

Many new drugs and numerous in-
termediates were prepared in our lab-
oratories. The most important discov-
ery resulting from our work was the
drug "pentaquin" (SN-13276) which
has shown great promise as a cure for
vivax malaria. This drug, which was
first prepared in our laboratories, has
been listed among the most important
scientific discoveries in the field of
chemotherapy of the past year. It is
important to bear in mind that the de-
velopment of pentaquin was the result
of "team work." The chemistry of the
drug was developed at Maryland; pre-
liminary screening, a study of its tox-
icity, and all clinical testing have been
done by cooperating groups; clinical
work is still in progress.

For Better Drugs

Research along similar lines sup-
ported by a grant from the Public
Health Service is being continued with
the object of finding a better drug
which will combine the curative prop-
erties of pentaquin with a lower
toxicity.

Many other research projects are
being actively prosecuted:

Dr. White is continuing his studies
on the fluorescence caused by traces of
metals in solutions containing certain
organic compounds and has developed
useful quantitative methods for the de-
termination of beryllium, aluminum and
boron and qualitative methods for
thorium, zirconium and zinc. Dr. Quag-
liano is continuing earlier studies on
complex coordination compounds, using
the polargraph as a tool.

Dr. Svirbely is studying the dielec-
tric constants of various solutions of
compounds in order to calculate the
dipole moments of the dissolved mole-
cules. From these moments important
deductions about the relative arrange-
ment of groups and charges in the
molecules can be made. Dr. Pickard is
planning to continue his work on super-
sonic vibrations and their effect on
chemical and physical processes.

Drs. Dewey, Pratt, Reeve and Woods
are investigating problems in theo-
retical and synthetic organic chemistry.
One of Dr. Reeve's projects is a co-
operative one with Poultry Husbandry;
methods of preparing certain rare
amino acids and their use as additives
to poultry feed are being investigated.

Next year laboratory work in radio-

the theoretical course which was offered
this year on the same subject. Dr. Rcl-
linson is at present assembling the
necessary apparatus to make possible
the use of radioactive isotopes as
tracers in various reactions. This type
of work has become increasingly at-
tractive since radioisotopes have be-
come available at reasonable costs. Its
application in all branches of theoretic-
al chemistry and in biochemistry will
make possible a better understanding of
the mechanisms of reactions and the
role and fate of chemical compounds in
plants and animals.

sidered as plant food, have been found
important for normal plant growth.

Now Overcrowded

During the next academic year the
overcrowded condition which exists at
present will be relieved somewhat by
three temporary buildings which will
house the greater part of the laboratory
work in three elementary courses,
general chemistry, organic chemistry
and biochemistry. The present building
will then be used principally for upper-
class work and research. The return of

many veterans has increased registra-
tions in chemistry courses to an all-
time high. More than two thousand
students were enrolled in our courses in
general chemistry during the first
semester of the present year. Another
freshman class as large or larger than
the present one is anticipated for next
year; the temporary buildings will be
used at capacity even during their first
year.

Plans for a new chemistry building
which will provide ample space for ex-
pansion of present teaching and re-
search activities and also for extension
of these activities into the fields of
metallurgy, high-polymer chemistry and
radiochemistry are well under way.

DAIRY AWARDS

Awards are going to five Maryland
Dairy Herd Improvement Association
Supervisors for "outstanding work"
during 1946, according to Marvin Sen-
ger, Extension Dairyman at the Uni-
versity of Maryland.

Herman Shipp, Jr. of the Washington
County No. 2 Association, wins a wrist
watch as first prize, while fountain
pens go to Lloyd Gifford, Carroll No. 2;
George Fuller, Montgomery County
Association; Russell Poole, Howard
County Assocation and to John Wol-
finger, of the Frederick No. 1 Associa-
tion. This is the third year that Fuller
has been among the winners and the
second year for Poole and Shipp. The
awards are given by the Maryland
State Fair Board.

Senger explains that to win an a-
ward, the DHIA supervisor must have
been testing for at least a year by the
end of the contest and must still be on
the job when the prizes are awarded at
the Annual Spring Tester's Conference.

GOVERNOR'S SPEECH

(Continued from Page 2)

to convince labor, manufacturers, dis-
tributors, and consumers, that all their
interests are as one, and that, by work-
ing together, through a study of the
problems of all, we should be able to
develop a way of life in wh'ch poverty
and want would become only mem-
ories ?

I do not pose these questions to imply
that the answers to them cannot be
found. They can be. Without oppor-
tunities for education, I would agree
with those who say that the future is
dismal. Without the broadening of
the scope of our children's educational
opportunities, I should feel very much
like one of my friends who said that he
thought the best thing to do would be
to buy a little farm in a hidden valley
and return to the simple, restricted life
of the pioneer. But we as a nation
cannot retire to the simple life.

No, my friends, we shall not solve
our problems by withdrawing into a
shell. We cannot meet difficulty by re-
fusing to recognize that difficulty exists.
We cannot solve problems without first
finding out the basic factors that cause
those problems, and then developing the
methods by which these basic factors
can be eliminated.

Our hope for the future lies in what
we do today. Our hope lies on the
courage with which we look forward in-
to the distant years, and how successful
we are in providing our children with
knowledge to enable them to meet the
challenge of those years.

Boundless Resources
America is a nation of boundless re-
sources. We have developed our re-
sources more efficiently than any other
nation of the earth. Many reasons
might be found for this development,
but, in my opinion, the basic reason for
it is that we have developed the level
of intelligence of our people more fully
than the people of most of the other
nations of the world.

If our American way of life fails, if
we fail as a leader among nations, if
we do not solve satisfactorily our do-
mestic, economic and social problems, I
am confident that history would find
that failure in a great measure would
be because we did not accept and dis-
charge our responsibilities in the edu-
cation of our people.

This is Bedrock

Our educational system, from the ele-
mentary school to the university, is the
bedrock upon which we, as a nation and
as a people stand, and it has been, and
is, my purpose to give that system in

Maryland all the support that lies in
my power.

Of course, I realize that no Governor
and no Legislature can do more for
education than the people of the State
are willing to have them do, but I have
an unbounded confidence in the willing-
ness of the people of Maryland to pro-
vide opportunity for their children and
in their desire to give to this nation
the security and advantages that ac-
crue from a trained and educated peo-
ple.

Of one thing you may be assured, the
perpetuation of our form of govern-
ment, and our way of life, rests pri-
marily on the assumption that at least
the vast majority of our citizens will
understand their obligations and func-
tions as citizens, and will discharge
these obligations and exercise those
functions conscientiously and intelli-
gently. This cannot be done by an un-
educated people.

To you young men and women who
are receiving your degrees today, re-
member that education and research are
not magic words that alone can conjure
wealth. Education and research are
fruitful only when they are intelligently
applied by diligent, hard working men
and women. I hope that your education
in this University has created within
you the ability to think introspectively.
Do not, when something goes wrong,
and you are faced with difficulties, look
for an opportunity to see the trouble as
the fault of someone else. First, think
where you may be at fault and if you
are, correct it. You will go much far-
ther in this world if you do not attempt
to blame other people for your difficul-
ties.

Word of Caution

You may regard yourselves this
morning as educated men and women.
Let me inject a word of caution. You
are not. You have reached the point
where you have the opportunity to be-
gin those final processes of education
which, if you are diligent and industri-
ous, will eventually make you educated
and successful men and women. One
who graduates from a university is
never educated until he has learned the
lessons that come to him from the suc-

cessful application of his knowledge ti>
the everyday problems of life.

Many of you who leave here today
will be leaders in your chosen fields, but
let me say to you that leadership will
carry responsibility, and also that lead-
ership requires courage; sometimes a
courage that is more difficult than any
you have had to show in your young
lives. Whenever you face a decision
that requires courage, remember the
words of Robert E. Lee in a letter to
his son, "Duty is the sublimest word in
the English language."

Criticism to Come

Remember, too, that as leaders you
will be subject at times to virulent criti-
cism, sometimes unjust criticism. Per-
haps your leadership may cost you
dearly, so far as material rewards for
yourself are concerned, but remember
that the finest satisfactions of life come
from a consciousness of having done the
right thing.

Theodore Roosevelt once wrote: "The
leader for the time being, whoever he
may be, is but an instrument to be used
until broken, and then to be cast aside.
... In the long fight for righteousness,
the watchword for all of us is to spend
and be spent. It is a little matter
whether any man fails or succeeds, but
that the cause shall not fail, for it is
the cause of mankind."

One more word: Whatever you do, be
constructive! Be a builder, not a wreck-
er. What I mean by this is told better
than I could possibly express in this
verse:

I watched them tearing a building down,

A gang of men in a busy town.

With a ho-heave and a lusty yell.

They swung a beam and the side wall fell.

I asked the foreman, "Are those men skilled,

And the men you'd hire if you had to build?

He gave a laugh and said, "No indeed !
Just common labor is all I need.
I can easily wreck in a day or two
What builders have taken a year to do."

I thought to myself as I went my way.
Which of these roles have I tried to play?
Am I a builder who works with care.
Measuring life by the rule and square?
Am I shaping my deeds to a well-made plan,
Patiently doing the best I can?
Or am I a wrecker who walks the town.
Content with the labor of tearing down ?

My friends of the graduating class-
es, upon the way you answer this last
question may depend your success in
life.

To the parents and friends of the
graduating class, who are here, let me
emphasize again that education is op-
portunity. Let us give of this oppor-
tunity, in the broadest and highest
sense, to our children. In this way, we
shall provide for those that are to come
after us a new revelation and a new
dawn.

A GRADUATE YEAR IN EUROPE

For Graduate
Students In The
Humanities And
Related Fields

By Professor A. J. Prahl

Language Department

SPEARHEADING a program which
will eventually serve several de-
partments of the University, the De-
partment of Foreign Languages and Li-
terature will open two Foreign Study
Centers in Europe this September. The
one will be located in Paris and the
other in Zurich.

The initial program makes provision
for graduate students in the Human-
ities and related fields, with the fullest
offerings in Linguistics, Literature and
History.

Professor Falls

Successful completion of the year's
program leads to the award of the de-
gree of Master cf Foreign Study. This
qualified master's degree was establish-
ed by the Graduate Council to distin-
guish the degree awarded for work
done at the Foreign Study Centers from
the degree granted for work done in
residence at Maryland. The require-
ments in respect to hours, thesis, and
examination are the same for the two
degrees.

Professor William F. Falls is to be
in charge of the Foreign Study Center
in Paris, 1947-48.

Office and conference rooms are lo-
cated in Reid Hall, rue Chevreuse, 4, in
which the newly re-opened American
University Union is also housed. Most
of the students will register in the
Faculty of Letters of the Sorbonne and
do most cf their course work there.

In Switzerland

The Zurich Foreign Study Center
will be under the supervision of Pro-
fessor Dieter Cunz, during 1947-48.
Headquarters will be in the building
at Zeltweg 4, where the American
Council on College Study in Switzer-
land is located. Most of the students
in Zurich will be registered in the Fac-
ulty of Philosophy.

Dr. Edmund E. Miller is returning to
Maryland to serve as Director of the
Foreign Study Office. Dr. Miller went
on leave in 1942 to serve as Field Di-
rector with the American Red Cross.
During the current year he has been
associated with Professor Mark
Schweizer, also of Maryland, in the
Junior Year Program in Zurich.

Inquiries in hand indicate that the
program will attract a number of grad-

IN BERLIN

The above picture shows two members of the faculty of Maryland University attending a meet-
ing of the Inter-Allied Council in Berlin. The two members are Dean H. Benjamin of the College
of Education and Professor A. E. Zucker, Head of the Foreign Language Department. The picture
was taken in 1946. Both members of the staff were at that time in Germany, sent there by the
IT. S. Army to supervise the reorganization of the German school system.

Professor A. E. Zucker of the University of Maryland Modern Language Department spent the
year 1945-1946 in Germany as an employee of the War Department in the Education Branch. His
particular assignment was textbooks for all schools from primary grades up. First there was the task
of censoring old Nazi school books that were often criminally misguided in the reading mutter given
the students and the militaristic ideals they attempted to inculcate. Millions of such books were de-
stroyed. On the other hand, it was possible to find some excellent authors for new books among the
thousands who had not bowed their knee to Hitler and, despite the bad paper shortage, some good
texts have been issued.

From April to July Professor Zucker was assigned the post of American head of the Berlin
School System and as such he had to meet once a week with the British, French, and Russian repre-
sentatives who held similar positions. The photograph shows such a group meeting at which the
Russian (bald Colonel Londakoff. at the head of the table) acted much the same way on a lower
level in which Molotov acts in the ministers' peace conference. Dean Benjamin of the College of
Education just happened to be passing through Berlin at that time and Dr. Zucker invited him to a
so-called "Kommandatura Meeting," as perhaps the most interesting thing he could witness in Ber-
lin. He is seated beside Professor Zucker while in the rear corner is another Maryland man. Mr.
Frank G. Banta, instructor in Modern Languages. He served as secretary - and interpreter.

Professor Zucker was asked by the War Department to return to Germany in order to lecture
at the German Universities in the American Zone in the field of education for democracy. He has
been granted leave of absence for two months during May and June for this purpose.

nate students from other institutions.
Such students must qualify for admis-
sion to the Graduate School and follow
the usual registration procedure. Cor-
respondence concerning the project
should be addressed to the Foreign
Study Office, University of Maryland,
College Park, Maryland (Phone: Exten-
sion 292).

Instructional Program
Before the European school year be-
gins, the Maryland registrants partici-
pate in an orientation period with re-
quired language work (French in Paris,
German in Zurich). When the univer-
sity year opens, the student is enrolled
in the faculty or school best suited to
his preparation and interests.

The Foreign Study student divides
his program between his major and
his minor (s). Twelve to sixteen semes-
ter hours plus six hours for the thesis
satisfy the requirements for the major.
The remaining eight to twelve semes-

ter hours are devoted to the student's
minor(s).

The year's program is evaluated at
thirty semester hours.

At European Universities courses are
usually offered in cycles of three to
five semesters, so that it is impossible
to list the exact course titles for a
given semester very far in advance.

Fields of Concentration
Majors and Minors are offered in the
following three fields:
Linguistics: General, Germanic, Rom-
ance
Literature: Comparative, French, Ger-
man.
History: Roman, Medieval, Modern,
Contemporary, American-European.
Minors only are offered in these
fields: History of Art, Economics, Edu-
cation, Geography, Government, Inter-
national Relations; American, English,
Italian, Russian or Spanish Literature;
Music, Philosophy, Political Science,

["]

Psychology, Sociology, Theology, Vo!k-
skunde.

The candidate for a degree has a
weekly conference with his advisor and
submits progress reports at stated
intervals.

Admission

Admission to the program of the
Foreign Study Centers is dependent up-
on admission to the Graduate School
of the University of Maryland, at Col-
lege Park, Maryland.

Admission to the Graduate School
requires that the applicant hold a
Bachelor's degree from an accredited
institution. ,

Because seniors find it necessary to
make preliminary arrangements for the
Graduate Year Abroad before they are
graduated, a preliminary application
form has been prepared for submission
to the Foreign Study Office.

The usual application blank for ad-
mission to the Graduate School will be
forwarded by the Foreign Study Office
after the preliminary application has
been passed upon.

Academic Recognition

Two kinds of awards are offered: the
Certificate, for the successful comple-
tion of an approved program of thirty
semester hours; the Master's degree
for completion of twenty-four semes-
ter hours, plus six hours for a thesis,
and final examination.

Certificate

Upon successful completion of the
year's work (thirty semester hours),
the student is awarded a "Graduate
Year Abroad Certificate." The award
is made at the Foreign Study Center
(Paris, Zurich). (The thirty hours may
or may not include a thesis.)

Advancement to Candidacy for
Master's Degree

A student registered in the Foreign
Study program in September may ap-
ply in December for advancement to
candidacy for the Master's degree.

McDONOGH COW

A registered Holstein-Friesian cow
and dairy herd owned by McDonogh
School, McDonogh, Md., completed a
365-day production record of 638
pounds of butterfat and 17,141 pounds
of milk, The Holstein-Friesian Associa-
tion of America announced. This is
more than three and one-half times the
production of the average dairy cow in
the nation.

Her official name is Dunloggin Prin-
tress. She was milked three times daily
and was two years, five months of age
when she began her test period.

Testing was supervised by the Uni-
versity of Maryland in cooperation with
The Holstein-Friesian Association of
America.

RETURN FROM FRANCE

It is too bad that all the friends of
France cannot have the privilege of
spending a few weeks of sabbatical
leave in postwar France. If they could,
they would feel differently, I am sure,
about many controversial questions.
For example, we are told so frequently
that "all Gaul is clearly divided into
three parts: Communists, Socialists,
and M. R. P's." Many people in Ameri-
ca hear that and are prone to fear that
with party lines so sharply drawn
present-day Frenchmen may not a-
chieve the unity they need for recovery.
A few weeks in France spent in the
company of ordinary, everyday people
would dispel that fear, for in spite of
political differences, Frenchmen found
unity long ago in a bond which is really
second nature to them; i.e., love of
country and work. I saw them and
talked to them last summer and fall:
farmers, shopkeepers, working people
in various trades. They will never all
vote the same way, but whatever may
be their political sympathies, they are
united in the desire and the effort to
bring back the prosperity and good
times that are traditional in France. —
Wm. F. Falls, Professor of French,
University of Maryland.

ALLEGANY COUNTY

The University of Maryland has pub-
lished an Economic Survey of Allegany
County, Maryland, made by Dr. John
H. Cover, Director of the Bureau of
Business and Economic Research of the
College of Business and Public Adminis-
tration. This survey was undertaken
at the request of a citizens' group and
covers an analysis of local industry, in-
cluding agriculture, manufacturing,
mining and transportation. It also in-
cludes suggestions for future develop-
ments in these fields.

The report appears in two parts, the
second consisting of a supplement on
current business conditions and pros-
pects, and the first covering a wide

&K<

range of topics including, in addition to
general industry, banking and finance,
construction, power, water supply and
control, government finance and sug-
gestions for the stabilization of employ-
ment.

In summarizing Allegany County con-
ditions the report finds the local eco-
nomy in general upon a favorable level.
It states: "The immediate future is de-
pendent in large part upon solution of
problems which are national in scope,
including inflation, industrial controver-
sies, transitional adjustments of the
labor force, narrowing of the gap be-
tween the demand for and supply of
commodities, and increasing productiv-
ity." It proposes promotion of a stable,
balanced economy with a long-time
point of view in mind and suggests,
among a number of specific proposals,
that diversity of industrial activity
rather than mere expansion be emphas-
ized and that only such new industries
be encouraged as will fit into the total
production pattern. It is warned that
new businesses which are likely to
liquidate in the first business depression
should be discouraged from starting.

In a study of the labor force and em-
ployment in the area, it was discovered
that many persons traveled long dis-
tances daily from homes in Pennsy-
lvania and West Virginia, and that
there was a tendency on the part of
large numbers of the industrial em-
ployees to live in small farm communi-
ties and to engage in part-time agricul-
ture. Some persons traveled as far as
57 miles to their daily employment.

In providing a measure of changing
business conditions, the Bureau develop-
ed a composite barometer consisting of
employment by the three largest manu-
facturers, industrial and commercial
electricity consumption, coal production,
advertising linage, and bank debits. The
two most depressed industries are coal
mining and building construction. The
more profitable coal seams have been
depleted to the point where costs of
production exceed the total cost of
strip mining and hauling coal from
Arkansas. Price inflation has resulted,
as elsewhere in the United States, in
prohibitive building costs. The latter
industry had been counted upon to start
a boom which would assure continued
large-scale employment in the post-war
period. Stymied by inflation, even the
most essential building is deferred.

The report states: "Early tendencies
in 1947 suggest that developments may
depend in large part upon two factors:
the price level and the supply of indus-
trial fuel. Allegany County stability is
a concomitant of the national economy,
and much depends upon concerted ac-
tion toward industrial peace and the
parity balance of the general price
level."

EVERY student at the University
of Maryland takes the course in
Sociology of American Life as part of
the American Civilization curriculum.
This shows how important a place so-
ciology has won for itself. Sociology at
Maryland grew as did the field as a
whole from a modest beginning to-
gether with the other social sciences it
developed into an independent Depart-
ment of recognized stature.

From Yale

Old timers on the campus remember
that the eminent social scientist, George
Peter Murdock of Yale, was an instruc-
tor in sociology at Maryland in 1925-27.
At that time Sociology was taught in
the Department of Social and Political
Science. Dean Frederick E. Lee of the
College of Arts and Sciences also of-
fered several courses in sociology back
in those days. For one year, Sociology
appears as an independent Department,
namely in 1926-27. The next year,
however, we find a combined Depart-
ment of Economics and Sociology, con-
tinuing in this form through 1935-36.
Sociology then contributed considerably
to Social Science 1, a joint course of
several departments in the division of
the Social Sciences. In the catalogs
of these years appear also such sociolo-
gy courses as Principles of Sociology,
Cultural Anthropolgy, Rural Sociology,
Urban Sociology, Social Pathology and
Social Work, The Family, and Labor
Problems.

A new era in the history of Sociology
at Maryland began with the appoint-
ment of Prof. Theodore B. Manny as
head of the Department. Dr. Manny, a
student of such outstanding sociologists
as E. A. Ross and G. H. Kolb of Wis-
consin, and Dwight Sanderson of Cor-
nell, came to Maryland in October 1935

from the U. S. Department of Agri-
culture. Once more an independent
Department of Sociology appears in the
catalog of 1936-37, this time to stay,
and with a staff of several instructors,
several of these holding professorial
rank. A broad program of teaching and
research in rural sociology and com-
munity organization within the State
was launched. The untimely death of
Manny in September 1938 put an end
to this development. The Department
continued, however, with Dr. Carl S.
Joslyn, who had joined the staff of the
Department in the meantime, as the
head. At the outbreak of the war there
were one full professor, two associate
and two assistant professors as well as
two graduate fellows and a number of
candidates for masters and doctors de-
grees in the field.

During War

During the war the Department con-
tributed considerably to the teaching of
the Army Specialized Training Pro-
gram, especially that of the advanced
Area and Language group. As the war
went on, the Department, like all de-
partments and universities in general,
suffered a loss both in students and
staff. However it managed to continue
a full program until the postwar re-
vival of academic life. With the resig-
nation of Dr. Joslyn in January, 1944,
the Department continued with Dr.

Peter P. Lejins as Acting Head until
January, 1946. Dr. 0. E. Baker, an
outstanding authority in the field of
population, began to teach population
courses for the Department in the fall
of 1944. The Sociology Club was foun-
ded in the summer of 1944 and went
into full swing that same fall. Some-
what later the national sociology hon-
orary AKD was brought to the campus.
In the fall of 1945 the Department be-
gan the course in Sociology of American
Life as part of the basic American
Civilization curriculum introduced at
that time and from then on required of
all freshmen. In January, 1946 Dr. Ed-
ward W. Gregory, formerly Head of
the Department of Sociology of the
University of Alabama, took over the
duties of Head of the Department. He
was succeeded in the fall of 1946 by
Dr. Harold C. Hoffsommer, who came
to Maryland after completing the
Regional Land Tenure Research Project
of which he was the Director. Prior to
that, Dr. Hoffsommer was connected
with the University of Louisiana.

Present Work

The present work of the Department
of Sociology will be analyzed according
to the types of functions which this
Department performs. There are three
of these:

1. training in sociology for the stu-
dents of the College of Arts and
Sciences who are majoring in this
subject.

2. research and training of graduate
students primarily in connection

with materials in the State.

3. sociological background courses re-
quired by other departments and
colleges for their students and sup-
plied by the Sociology Department.

[13]

The first of these tasks is being ac-
complished by the Department by offer-
ing a broad and varied undergraduate
curriculum in sociology. The 1946-47
catalog lists some 30 courses on the
undergraduate level from which a stu-
dent majoring in sociology has ample
opportunity to select a curriculum
which is best suited to his needs. There
is hardly a field of sociological study
which is not represented in the Mary-
land offerings. There are the "time
tested" and widely recognized courses,
and there are also some representing
the most recent developments in the
field, such as e.g., industrial sociology.

Social Service Training

There has always been a demand on
the part of the students of the Univer-
sity of Maryland for an undergraduate
curriculum in social service: preparing
either for further graduate study in
the accredited schools of social work,
or for work immediately upon gradua-
tion from college in social service posi-
tions which do not require graduate
professional training. With the rapid
expansion of the field of professional
social service both in the sense of in-
crease of functions and stress on
trained personnel, the Department of
Sociology is now operating a pre-
professional social service program. The
first three years of this curriculum are
devoted to a broad liberal education
with emphasis on the study of the fun-
damentals of human associations, social
motivation, and societal organization.
The fourth year includes an introduc-
tion to the basic principles, methods,
and organization of the social services.

Crime Control Curriculum

The field of prevention and control
of crime and delinquency has recently
become a subject of intensive study. It
is in the departments of sociology all
over the country that most of the re-
search and teaching in this field is
being done now. The Maryland De-
partment offers a carefully planned
crime control curriculum on the under-
graduate level as well as training on
the graduate level leading to the Mas-
ter's and Doctor's degrees. Students are
prepared for positions in correctional
and penal institutions, institutions for
juveniles, probation and parole services,
the so-called area projects, as well as
research and teaching positions. Con-
siderable interest in the field has been
expressed by the returning veterans.

Among the other fields in which the
Department at present is prepared to
give intensive training, rural sociology,
population studies, and sociological
theory should be mentioned.

Aside from and in addition to the
work on the undergraduate level, soci-
ology at Maryland has the task of re-
search and training of graduate stu-

dents. For a department in a State
University this means a great oppor-
tunity and at the same time an equally
great responsibility. Our rapidly chang-
ing civilization confronts the various
groups which make up the population
of a state with many social problems.
Objective analysis of these, and recom-
mendations for a rational solution as
well as suggestions for the prevention
of new problems, are the tasks which
should naturally fall into the orbit of
a sociology department in a State Uni-
versity. The work of this type so ably
started by Dr. Manny and interrupted
by his untimely death and the subse-
quent depletion of staff during the war,
is now again gathering momentum. As
one example of this might be mentioned
the library project, conducted by Dr.
Hoffsommer, Head of the Department,
and Prof. Paul M. Houser.

Current Research

Its purpose is to provide information
basic for setting up and planning the
development of expanded county library
facilities, particularly with reference to
the public mobile truck library system.
The study was first requested by a
county librarian and the Extension Di-
vision of the State Department of Edu-
cation. However, other counties have
requested that the study be extended
to cover their areas also. The library
study is being done in cooperation with
the Division of Farm Population and
Rural Welfare of the U. S. Department
of Agriculture. In addition to this co-
operation, the Department of Agricul-
ture has placed a full-time research
worker in the Department of Sociology
to conduct cooperative rural research in
the fields of population, levels of living,
farm labor and community organiza-
tion. Current research concerns an
analysis of community organization in
one of the counties, the results of which
are to be published as a University of
Maryland Experiment Station bulletin.

Another example is the Maryland
Crime and Delinquency Survey which
the Department is carrying on already
for several years. The information
collected is available for teaching
purposes and service as a reference
depository for any individual or agency
doing work in prevention or control of
crime in Maryland.

Advantageous Location

The location of the University near
the Nation's Capital places the Depart-
ment of Sociology in a unique position
regarding social science materials col-
lected by the various government agen-
cies. The documentary wealth of the
Library of Congress and the National
Archives are only a few of the oppor-
tunities open to the student doing re-
search in the social sciences at the Uni-

versity. Research on the national as
well as on the state and local commun-
ity levels is both an invitation and a
challenge.

Finally within the scope of the
University work, the Department of
Sociology provides several important
courses, sociological in nature but re-
quired by other departments and
colleges. The most important one is,
of course, the course in the Sociology
of American Life, already mentioned,
which is a part of the American Civili-
zation curriculum and is required of all
University students. It has been de-
scribed elsewhere in this magazine.
Recently as many as seventeen hundred
students have been enrolled in this
course each semester. It represents the
major departmental project at this
time. It is expected that the work done
by the members of the staff in connec-
tion with this course will be incorpor-
ated in a text representing a decided
departure from the traditional texts
dealing with the American social scene
and sociology. Another course serving
students all over the university is the
course in Marriage and the Family,
which for quite some time has been
attracting students to the Department.

With its present staff of eleven mem-
bers with the rank of instructor and
above and a growing group of gradu-
ate students, fellows and assistants,
the Department is looking forward to
a promising future both within the
University in its service to the state,
and among other sociology departments
in the country.

ROSE-BORDER FIELDS

Rose Border Fields may be edged in
pink, in the Junes of years to come.
Hardy, fast-growing, tough-stemmed
roses are recommended instead of wire
fences by the U. S. Department of Ag-
riculture. Added beauty will come from
the fact that in new ersosion-checking
field layouts the boundaries follow the
curving contour lines of the hills, in-
stead of running intolerantly straight
and crossing at right angles, as wire
fences too often do.

Most suitable species for hedge pur-
poses, say Department botanists, is the
multiflora rose. It is as hardy as the
proverbial iron poker, and puts down
strong, soil-retaining roots. Its stems
are 20 times more spiny than barbed
wire; they grow to a height of six or
eight feet and never require pruning.

In addition to their dual principal
job of keeping stray animals out of
the fields and the soil in, rose hedges
will also serve as shelter for birds and
smaller animals. The rose hips, though
scantily pulped, have at least a minor
food value: they are rich in vitamin C
and are good for jelly-making.

WORLD WAR II and the tre-
mendously intensified interest in
the Sciences and Engineering, coupled
with the educational advantages ex-
tended to the returning veteran under
the "GI Bill of Rights," has caused the
unprecedented increase in enrollment
in Mathematics shown in accompanying
chart:

This illustrates how the interest in
mathematics, measured in terms of the
teaching load, has increased over the
past ten years.

Years ago, the study of mathematics
was recommended to students solely as
a mental discipline or for its sheer in-
tellectual beauty. Today, the average
student who takes mathematics takes
it, not only because of its training in
careful and precise thinking, but also
because he or she finds it an indispens-
able aid in preparing for a career. In
addition to those rare students who find
pleasure in the study of mathematics
for its own sake, we find young men
and women in our undergraduate class-
es who are preparing for careers in
engineering, chemistry, physics, busi-
ness, medicine, dentistry, agriculture,
and even home economics!

Predominant Role

At the more advanced levels of study
mathematics plays a predominant role
in the life of the educated citizen. If
we examine the history of the develop-
ment of any department of human
knowledge, we find that it begins with
the qualitative description of the phe-
nomena peculiar to the subject. Large
masses of data and observations are
collected from which basic laws and
theories relating the observations and
data gradually emerge. These laws in
turn lead to predictions of other phe-

Aid on Preparing

nomena as yet unobserved which, sub-
jected to experimental test, either con-
firm or modify existing theories. It is
at this point that mathematics enters
upon the scene, for it offers a universal
language for the formulation of basic
laws, and at the same time, a powerful
tool for the further development of the
theory and extension of knowledge.
Perhaps the best illustration is offered
by the study of Astronomy in which
man has been interested since the
earliest times. The observations of as-
tronomers over hundreds of years were
reduced by Sir Isaac Newton to one
fundamental law — the law of universal

gravitation. Subjected to mathematical
analysis, this law led to the prediction
of a new planet, Neptune, in our solar
system, the actual existence of which
was subsequently confirmed by astro-
nomical observations!

In addition to Astronomy, mathe-
matics has played a predominant roie
in the development of the natural
sciences, physics, chemistry, and in
engineering. In recent years as other
branches of knowledge developed, we
find it being used by workers in new
fields. Biologists, statisticians, and
very recently, economists have called
upon mathematics for assistance in the
solution of their problems.

A Paradox

One of the paradoxes in the relation
of mathematics to other branches of
knowledge is that some of the mathe-
matics which have proved so useful to
workers in other fields were created by
mathematicians who had no concept of,
and in some cases, actually no interest
in the application of mathematical dis-
coveries. Impelled by their interest in
the subject for itself alone, they forge
a weapon which years later turns out
to be precisely what is needed for the
solution of problems in hitherto un-
related fields.

There are, and must be, workers in
every branch of science who are guided
by the fundamental desire to know and
to understand, by the feeling that they
must, in the words of Thomas Jefferson
"follow truth wherever it may lead."
As Hermite has said, "We are rather
servants than masters in mathematics."
The path which must be followed is
imposed on us by truth, and there is no-
course but to follow it. These so-called

]15[

"pure" scientists find the impetus for
their work in their recognition of the
esthetic beauty of discovery and the de-
sire to add whatever they can to the
harmonious structure which is science.
In his recent book, The Psychology of
Invention in the Mathematical Field,
Hadamard gives many examples show-
ing the value of this approach. Newton,
for example, could not possibly have
discovered the law of universal gravita-
tion were it not for the study of the
ellipse by the Greeks some four hun-
dred years before Christ. Without this
conception, Kepler's laws of motion
would also have been impossible.

In more modern times, Elie Cartan
in 1913, driven by the beauty of the
subject, invented a class of transfor-
mations without which physicists
would have found it impossible to
understand phenomena concerning elec-
trons not discovered until 15 years .
later.

"Drive for Discovery"

The history of mathematics is replete
with so many examples of this charac-
ter that Hadamard is led to the follow-
ing conclusion, which is surprising only
to those unacquainted with the facts:
"These examples are a sufficient answer
to Wallas's doubt on the value of a
sense of beauty as a 'drive' for dis-
covery. On the contrary, in our mathe-
matical field it seems to be almost the
only useful one."

On the other side, many of the dis-
coveries which have had a profound
influence on the development of pure
mathematics have been made by men
like Newton, Poincare, Gauss, and
Riemann in their efforts to solve prob-
lems arising in the application of
mathematics to other fields.

This would seem to point the way
for the future development of Mathe-
matics. If we are to gain the most
from this subject, we shall have to en-
trust its development to both the pure
and applied mathematician, for only
when they go hand-in-hand does this
field of knowledge render its greatest
service to mankind.

JUAN RAMON JIMENEZ
By Rachel Frank

Instructor, Department of Modern Languages

STUDENTS of Spanish Life and
Culture and Spanish Poetry of the
Twentieth Century were privileged to
listen to three talks on Spanish poetry
and painting by Juan Ramon Jimenez
— widely acknowledged by the best
critical opinion to be the greatest and
most influential of living Spanish poets.
In late years Mr. Jimenez has rarely
spoken in public. But the department
of modern languages is fortunate in
having his wife, Zenobia Jimenez, on
its staff. Apart from her own rich ex-

perience in Spanish cultural activities,
she has often arranged for Mr. Jimenez
to contribute his authoritative observa-
tions on Spanish art for the benefit of
students. And if the poet's health per-
mits, the department looks forward to
welcoming him as an official lecturer in
the coming school year.

After leaving Spain in 1936, Mr.
Jimenez gave graduate seminars in
Spanish literature and painting in the
Universities of Puerto Rico, Miami and
Duke. He and his wife have been living
in Washington since 1943.

Mr. Jimenez conducted most of the
discussions at Maryland by answering
students' questions. In reply to the
question, "What do you think of sur-
realism?" he stated ironically that
modern art was full of splinter move-
ments, creationism, futurism, demon-
isrn, surrealism, etc, which were less di-
vided by real issues than by a feverish
straining for novelty on the part of
young artists eager to make a name for
themselves in a hurry. He described
some spectacular incidents from Dali's
career to show that, in many cases an
"ism" is a banner under which artists
indulge in freakish pranks having no-
thing whatsoever to do with art. But
although surrealism both in painting
and literature might be teaming with
charlatans, one could not in fairness
condemn the school as a whole, since
it had produced at least one good poet
— the Frenchman, Paul Eluard. As Mr.
Jimenez explained, however, strictly
speaking it is impossible to evaluate an
artistic school as a whole. A school is
a historical movement to be accepted
as a fact. All that we can evaluate is
the work of each artist. And an artist
is great by virtue of his own powers,
not the tenets of the movement he es-
pouses, for movements usually empha-
size one side of life at the expense of
another, whereas a great artist encom-
passes all sides of life.

In his talk on Spanish painting — a
brilliantly summarized historical sketch
— Mr. Jimenez showed how the creation
of a magic dream-world, far from being
exclusive with the surrealists, had al-
ready been accomplished in the work
of Francisco Goya. He contrasted the
spiritual vision of El Greco with the
atmosphere buoyancy and realistic vig-
or of Velazquez, proving that each ex-
treme — mysticism and realism — com-
bined to express the Spanish attitude
towards experience.

His specific comments on Spanish
poetry were particularly valuable, since
Mr. Jimenez has occupied much the
same role of leadership in the world
of Spanish letters as Stephane Mal-
larme in France at the end of the nine-
teenth century, and T. S. Eliot in Eng-
land today. As he himself one worded
it, he has "encouraged the young, crit-
icized the mature, and tolerated the
old" writers. The poet earned his lead-

[16]

crship by being a perennially young
writer — an experimentalist in the best
sense: one who, instead of abandoning
tradition, changed its pattern by re-
vealing it in a new light. His own
poetry has had an overwhelming in-
fluence on the major Spanish poets fol-
lowing him. Expression, in his work,
is never heavier than the impulse of
feeling giving rise to it. This just
balance between impulse and language
gives his poetry the sincerity and na-
turalness of a popular ballad, even
though the qualities he evokes, ranging
from an intimate, meditative nostalgia
to a mystical exaltation in the moment
could only result from an exquisitely
sensitized imagination.

His talk, thus, on the relation of the
popular ballad to modern Spanish poet-
ry reflected his own contribution to-
wards molding that poetry. The one
source, he said, from which the Spanish
ballad has arisen and still arises is the
peasantry. A member of the more cul-
tivated classes cannot write folk poet-
ry, simply because he does not undergo
the experiences of a peasant which
would enable him to express himself
in their fashion. Unlike much culti-
vated verse that passes for poetry, folk
poetry is real poetry; its irregular
rhythms are torn from genuine emo-
tion; its language is simple and direct,
untortured by elaborate syntactical in-
volutions and uncomplicated by learn-
ed allusions. Though it may be real
poetry, however, folk poetry is never
perfect; literally, it is never "finished"
because it leaves a vibration behind it,
opening the reader to suggestion rather
than supplying him with a conclusion.
This suggestiveness is the mark of
true poetry wherever it may occur, and
the cultivated poet, instead of disdain-
ing popular poetry ought to keep it in
mind as an ideal.

When asked his opinion on contem-
porary poetry in Spain, Mr. Jimenez,
indicating that most of the better poets
are now expatriated, regretted that the
one or two good poets left in Spain —
like Damaso Alonso — had failed to
undertake the responsibility of leading
the younger poets, with the result that
most of the new poetry produced there
lacked originality and conviction.

Mr. Jimenez filled these talks with
personal reminiscences of important
figures in modern Spanish literature.
And Spanish students came away with
a new realization that the works they
had read and discussed in class were
a vital part of a living literary tradi-
tion.

MANY people still think of Speech
Departments in our modern col-
leges and universities as departments
of elocution and oratory; but today
Speech departments do much more than
teach public speaking. The courses in
the Department of Speech and Drama-
tic Arts at the University of Maryland
have two main functions: (1) to pro-
vide work in public speaking and allied
fields which will meet the needs of ali
students in the University; (2) to pro-
vide an integrated unit of work which
will allow a student to major in Speech.

Composite Group

The well-rounded Department here at
Maryland is a composite group of cor-
related subjects, including the study of
the Drama with courses in Acting,
Stagecraft, History of the Theatre,
Stage Make-up, Costuming, Stage De-
sign and Direction; the study of Radio
with courses in Announcing, Radio
Speech, Radio in Retailing, Radio Con-
tinuity Writing, Radio Acting, Radio
Production, and Advanced Radio Writ-
ing; the study of corrective speech in-
cluding the symptoms, causes, nature
and treatment of minor speech dis-
orders with courses in Pathology, Ad-
vanced Speech Pathology, Speech Clinic,
Semantics and Teachers Problems in
Speech; the study of Public Speaking
with courses in Debate and Group Dis-
cussion, Oral Interpretation, and Public
Speaking.

Direction And
Other Suhjects

The teaching of speech at the Mary-
land Agriculture College was inaugu-
rated by Professor Charles S. Richard-
son, who came to Maryland in 1900 as
director of Physical Culture and In-
structor in Elocution. Speech courses
were offered under the English Depart-
ment, but in 1915, in keeping with the
trend of separating Departments of
Speech from Departments of English
in Universities all over the country,
Professor Richardson was made Profes-
sor of English and Public Speaking.
Shortly after this, in 1918, a separate
Department of Speech was established
at Maryland with Professor Richardson
as chairman of the Department. The
courses offered by this department in
its elementary stage were courses in
Public Speaking required of all Fresh-
men and special courses in Public
Speaking for the engineering students.
There were no courses in Drama at
that time, but there was enthusiastic
participation in extra-curricular dra-
matic activities by interested groups of
students who were directed in their

[17]

efforts by Professor Richardson.

Dr. Ray Ehrensberger joined the
staff in 1936 and upon Professor Rich-
ardson's retirement in 1939, was ap-
pointed Chairman of the Department.
In 1937, here at Maryland, he organized
the first radio cooperative system of
broadcasting with the CBS station in
Washington, D. C. Maryland was the
first University to tie in with a net-
work in this fashion.

Three in 1936

In 1936 there were three instructors
in the Department. Today, just seven
years later, there are eighteen instruc-
tors in the department, teaching over
3,000 students with approximately 100
students majoring or minoring in the
Department. A great tribute was paid
by Dr. William N. Brigance, Presi-
dent of the National Association of
Teachers of Speech, when he recently
said, "No school surpasses Maryland
University with its well-balanced and
complete offering of speech courses on
the undergraduate level."

The progress of dramatics at the Uni-
versity until recently was slow and im-
peded by a lack of planning toward the
necessary welding of the Speech De-
partment and student dramatic activi-
ties. The plays presented by the extra-
curricular organization, the Footlight
Club, were received by the student-
faculty audience with enthusiasm, but

and the direction and staging of plays
is now considered part of the academic
load of individual teachers within the
Department of Speech. In the fall of
1945, the University Theatre was or-
ganized, combining the efforts of the
staff of the Speech Department and the
Footlight Club.

The Footlight Club then started its
growth from an extracurricular club for
undergraduate students who produced
and staged three or four plays each
scholastic year, into a well-knit group
of students who have proved their
ability in acting, interpretation, and

the usual problems of a purely extra-
curricular activity were apparent to all
concerned. Dr. Chai-les B. Hale, of the
English Department, had served in the
capacity of advisory director to the
Footlight Club during the 1930's. Dr.
Hale contributed much to the growth
of dramatics on the campus, and his
death in 1944 was a real loss to the
University. Upon the death of Dr. Hale,
the Footlight Club and its activities
were placed under the auspices of the
Speech Department. Instead of having
various faculty members direct plays
in their spare time, people were brought
to the Speech Department with specific
training in all phases of the theatre,

in the capacity of an advisory board
for the University Theatre productions,
in consultation with the Executive Com-
mittee of the Footlight Club. After
final approval of both of these groups
the newly elected members of the Foot-
light Club are entitled to all privileges
of membership.

The Footlight Club undertakes sever-
al projects each year in connection with
the ultimate purpose of the University
Theatre. This purpose is to provide the
University of Maryland with experi-
enced student actors and better facili-
ties with which to present a well-
rounded dramatic schedule each year.
Club members also participate in the
productions of the plays. They head
various committees and organize the
back-stage work in cooperation with the
faculty technical advisor. The mem-
bers, as well as all students, are eligible
to try out for each play produced in
the Theatre.

The recent University Theatre pro-
ductions at Maryland have surpassed
all expectations. They have enjoyed an
enthusiastic following by the faculty

with each performance. The University
Theatre schedules a five night run for
each play, and it schedules four plays
for the scholastic year. The first pro-
duction of the past year was a delight-
ful modern Russian farce entitled
Squaring the Circle, which was followed
by Lillian Hellman's The Little Foxes.
Both of these productions were out-
standing for their excellent sets and
their capable direction. The most suc-
cessful play of recent years, given by
the University Theatre, was the third
production of the 1946-47 season, Ben
Johnson's highly stylized drama of 16th
century life in Venice, Volpone. This

play was held over for an extra week.
The popular farcial-comedy, My Sister
Eileen, was scheduled to be the final
production of the year, but because of
the building program this performance
was postponed until the fall of 1947.
National Collegiate Players, honorary
national dramatic fraternity, granted
the University of Maryland a charter
this year as a result of its outstanding
work in dramatics.

One of the most interesting curricu-
lums offered in the Department of
Speech is the study of radio. For ti>*"
student interested in radio there are
courses offered to include every phase
of modern broadcasting. These courses
are limited in their enrollment so that
special attention can be given to the
individual and his progress, and the ad-
vanced courses in this field are open
only to junior and senior students. All
programs are recorded, and then played
back for analysis. There are specialized
courses offered in Radio which include
Announcing, Production, Radio Contin-
uity Writing, Acting, and Radio in

ANGEL STREET

This highly successful psychological drama will be remembered by many patrons because of the
movie version, 'Gas Light," which starred Charles Boyer and Ingrid Bergman.

All students enrolled in the freshman
courses of Public Speaking are given
the opportunity, each semester of their
one year course, of using the radio
studio. The assignment the first semes-
ter is presented in the form of a radio
interview between groups of two stu-
dents. The second semester assignment
is a radio roundtable discussion con-
ducted by groups of students from each
class. It is not expected that the aver-
age student in a beginning public speak-
ing class will ever be called upon to do
any extensive radio work, but these stu-
dents do gain the experience of talking
at least twice before a microphone rath-
er than before a live audience. When the
building program is completed, it is
planned to start educational broadcasts,
in addition to campus programs, and
to air the former over local stations in
near-by Baltimore and Washington.

High school and Elementary students
from Prince George's County, as well
as students in the University, have the
advantage of the use of the Speech
Clinic. Students who are majoring in
Speech Correction, and other speech
majors who are interested in the study
of the symptoms and treatment of

Retailing. The latter course is limited
to home economics students who are
given practice in writing and producing
women's programs.

speech disorders, are instructed by well-
trained pathologists to recognize diffi-
culties in the speech of students coming
to the clinic, and are given the oppor-
tunity of analyzing and treating these
problems. Students of speech have a
well organized curriculum offered to
them to prepare them for graduate
study in this field.

The facilities of the radio studio are
at the disposal of the students of speech
correction. They use the equipment to
do periodic recordings of clinic cases
which are used to record the progress
of individuals participating in this
work. The equipment that the path-
ology instructors have at their disposal
includes an audiometer, several plastic
models of the vocal and audio mechan-
ism, and equipment for oral examina-
tion which includes head mirrors, den-
tal mirrors, tongue depressors, etc. It.
is hoped in the future to render state-
wide service of the Speech Clinic to
any person who needs this training.

If a student learns to stand before
his classmates and talk effectively about
a subject, it is fair to assume that in
private conversation he will exhibit the
same degree of effectiveness. The more
self-confidence he acquires through
practice in talking to class-groups, the
more assured he will be when trying to
state his views before small groups of
friends and strangers. What is more,
the development of a discriminating ear
is an equally important aim of speech
training. The average citizen is sub-
jected to a constant barrage of speech-
making, especially to what comes
through his loudspeaker. An under-
standing of speech techniques will make
him wary of the merely bombastic and
superficial. Practically all students in
the University, regardless of their col-
lege or curriculum, are required to take
at least one year of freshman speech.
There are many additional courses
which students can elect following this
preparatory course, which will aid the
average student in preparing himself

Most college students who enroll in
beginning courses in Public Speaking
have had little or no experience in talk-
ing before groups of people. The fresh-
man speech courses at Maryland are
set up with this viewpoint in mind. The
opening speech assignments, therefore,
are simple, and require little formal
research. As the student gradually ad-
justs himself to the process of speech-
making the assignments become more
difficult. His successive speaking ex-
periences are planned to develop and
keep pace with his increasing ability to
speak in public — namely, the develop-
ment of conversational skill. The basic
principles of the two are, after all, the
same.

for future life in his community where
speech will be his best medium of ex-
pression.

The Speech Department probably
touches many phases of student activi-
ty. For almost every event on the
campus including athletic events held
in the Coliseum or in the stadium,
Greek organization musicals, Clef and
Key productions and other activities,
the Department members are called
upon for advice regarding the use of
the public address systems, staging of
the over-all production, directional dif-
ficulties, and general planning. The
Department is a vital instrument in the
welfare and general development of the
University.

THE DEPARTMENT OF ZOOLOGY

Growth Parallels
General Expansion
of Entire University
As 2,000 Students
Are Expeeted

MANY graduates of the Universi-
ty remember the Department of
Zoology when it was housed in two
laboratories and two offices. The De-
partment now occupies over half of
Morrill Hall and is teaching this year
more than thirteen hundred students
each semester. This is expected to ex-
ceed two thousand students each semes-
ter next year.

The growth of the department has
paralleled that of the University; and
if the increase in teaching and research
continues at its present rate, the de-
partment will need new and larger
quarters in the near future. Additional
equipment for teaching and research
has been added, keeping the work in
stride with the advances in Zoology.

Professor C. J. Pierson, formerly
head of the department, is living in
Hyattsville and maintains an interest
in the affairs of the department. We
see him quite frequently and talk about
former students in the department.

Research Program

In addition to teaching, the depart-
ment is carrying on a comprehensive
research program. Dr. Robert Little-
ford, who is in charge of Marine Zo-
ology and Hydrobiology, working in co-
operation with the Fish and Wild Life
Service, is making an ecological survey
of some newly established fish ponds on
the Federal Reserve at Beltsville. This
work is expected to extend over several
years and will be probably the most
comprehensive study of its kind which
has ever been made. Two or three
graduate students will assist Dr. Little-
ford in this project. In addition to this,
a survey is being made of the soft shell
clam in Maryland, with the idea of de-
termining whether this form can be-
come a commercially important pro-
duct in Maryland. Another zoological
project which may prove to be of im-
portance to the fishing industries of the
state is a hydrographic survey of the
bay, including a study of plankton or-
ganisms. These organisms are essen-
tially the food for all the commercially
important fin fish and shell fish of the
Chesapeake.

Dr. Sumner Burhoe is continuing his
work on blood groups in the Norwegian

identified four blood groups. The meth-
od of inheritance has been determined
and certain immunological aspects are
being investigated now. In this connec-
tion he has described a method of draw-
ing large quantities of blood from the
heart of the anaesthetized rat without
permanent injury to the animal. Grad-
uate students working under Dr. Bur-
hoe are investigating embryonic de-
velopment of the mammalian heart and
transplantation of the embryonic mam-
malian tissue onto the developing chick
embryo, with the hope of finding
whether mammalian tissue will grow in
the hen's egg. In order to carry on this
work, the department maintains an
animal colony of approximately 600
rats and mice.

In Histology

Mr. Henry J. Werner, who came to
us at the beginning of the present year
to take over the work in histology, is
engaged in research on the anatomy
and histology of Littorina irrorata
(Say), the small snail which is so com-
monly seen along the beaches and
waterfront. This aspect of his work
has been completed, and he expects to
extend his studies further into the
ecology of this interesting animal.

Dr. Norman E. Phillips is engaged in
research which centers principally a-
round aviation physiology. A grant
was made to the Department of Zoology
by the Navy Department for carrying
out work on the respiration of small
animals at high altitude. This work
has been going on for about a year,
with the result that certain advances
have buen made in our knowledge of

tolerance to low oxygen pressure. It
appears from this work that many of
the physiological disadvantages to
which humans find themselves when
subjected to high altitude are due to
an unexpected increase of loss of heat
from the body. Ways are being found
to overcome this situation, and we have
found it possible to increase the "ceil-
ing" of small animals. By further
work we hope to make it possible for
humans to reach higher altitudes than
have formerly been attained. In this
research the department has had the
cooperation of various other depart-
ments on the campus and other labora-
tories in the vicinity of Washington.
Although the research originally was
planned for experimentation with small
animals, human subjects will be used
in the near future.

Glenn L. Martin

This research is obviously of impor-
tance in military and commercial avia-
tion. With the establishment of the
new Glenn L. Martin School of Aero-
nautical Engineering, it is expected
that this work in physiology will be
closely correlated with that of the engi-
neering school. It is well known that
man can make planes with speed and
attainable altitude which far exceed the
limits of human physiological endur-
ance. If man is to continue to pilot and
ride in planes, more must be known
about his reactions. Seven people are
employed for part-time on this Navy
project.

Another cooperative project with the
Fish and Wild Life Service is the de-
termination of the emptying time of

TAXI ENGINEER

To at least one University of Mary-
land student, his engineering diploma
will probably serve him best as a deco-
ration for his taxicab, temporarily at
least.

The reason is that the small fleet of
taxis Hewitt G. Robinson operates out
of College Park is making him more
money right off the bat than he can
hope to make for several years as a
graduate engineer.

Besides, he likes it better.

"This way," he points out, "if I want
to say to somebody 'you stink,' why I
just say it and that's that. No mad
boss, no lost job and practically no
back talk."

It was, in fact, just this feeling about
bosses and back talk that led Robinson
to start his taxi project three months
ago.

A senior in the University's College
of Chemical Engineering, he had been
picking up a little money on the side
as a driver for a regular taxi service.

"The boss told me, 'Son, you'll never
make a taxi driver, never.' " Robinson
recalls, "so I just thought I'd show
him."

Now, he is running two vehicles on
a 24-hour schedule, employs three other
students as drivers and covers all points
between College Park, Washington, An-
napolis and Baltimore. He is also set-
ting up a branch office in Ocean City.

Among the 7,000 students, he does a
rushing business in general passenger
runs and has added features of shop-
ping and delivery services especially
tailored to the needs of College Park
housewives.

A feature of his vehicles is the com-
bination cooling system-soft-drink dis-
penser which Robinson worked out him-
self.

The contrivance is nothing but a 59-
cent bucket filled with ice and bracketed
beneath the front ventilator. In addi-
tion to keeping passengers comfortable
in the flow of iced air, the bucket is
kept filled with bottled soft drinks for
the pampered riders.

Robinson, who expects to have five
cabs operating by fall, foresees a busy
time ahead. It's so busy already that
he is just squeaking by in his studies.

When he showed up in one class,
which he had been neglecting with great
regularity since March, his professor
glanced up in surprise and said:

"Good heavens, Robinson, what's the
matter? Is business bad today?"

FRIENDSHIP

This little thought on Friendship is
contributed by Dr. Tehyi Hsie, well-
known Chinese lecturer of Boston:
"I've a garden where the flowers never
fade,
And year *. y year the blossoms bright-
er glow;
Each flower is some friend that I have

made;
The best are where the everlastings
grow."

IMPORTED LABOR STOPS

Importation of Bahaman and Jamai-
can labor to Maryland ceased after
July 1, 1947, according to Paul E. Nys-
trom, Deputy Director of the Extension
Service, in charge of Farm Labor, who
reports that word was received from
the Department of Agriculture that all
importations of West Indies labor were
stopped due to lack of funds.

Meanwhile, Bahaman or Jamaican
labor now in Maryland may remain
throughout the season with those em-
ployers who have contracted for them,
says Mr. Nystrom. But no additional
numbers will be imported.

A request has been made to have
some Mexican labor shifted from the
West to meet some emergency needs. It
is not certain yet whether these Mexi-
cans will become available and in what
numbers. But they can only be utilized
in fairly large groups where they can
be housed and fed in central camps.
They will not be available in small
numbers for private housing.

APIARY

Construction of an apiary at the Uni-
versity of Maryland to be used in re-
search work, demonstrations and ex-
tension work in bee-keeping, was an-
nounced by T. B. Symons, dean of the
university's college of agriculture and
director of extension.

DEPARTMENT OF PSYCHOLOGY

Favorable
Geographical
Local ion Is Aid To
The Department

THE Department of Psychology at
the University of Maryland centers
its offering's in the applied phases of
the field. The Department has been
successful in attracting- outside sources
of research funds and in bringing in
graduate students from other universi-
ties. At the present time, something
over $35,000 in outside funds and ma-
terials has been made available for re-
searches on practical problems of a
'human engineering' type. The gradu-
ate group consists of 25 candidates for
advanced degrees, representing under-
graduate degrees from more than a
dozen universities. More than half of
these graduate students are candidates
for the Ph.D.

Staff: The Senior staff of the De-
partment comprises seven men of the
rank of Assistant Professor or above.
Each of these men obtained his doc-
torate at a different institution. Five
members of the staff saw wartime ser-
vice as commissioned officers in the
Navy's specialist officer program. The
average length of service was four
years. Three of these men are current-
ly retained by the Navy as consultants
under civilian contract status. The de-
partment as a whole is active in re-
search as well as instruction.

Outrun Quota

Graduate Students: Applications for
graduate work in psychology at the
University of Maryland far outrun the
quota that the Department is willing to
accept. This year, for example, not
more than one in five applicants will be
accepted, and the proportion may run
as high as one-in-ten. Selection is
made on the basis of excellence of
undergraduate record and recommenda-
tion by men of known competence. The
number accepted must be kept small if
the Department is to maintain its poli-
cy of individualized graduate instruc-
tion.

The twenty-five students now making
up the graduate group have been drawn
chiefly from other universities. This is
in keeping with a policy that Maryland
undergraduates should be encouraged to
turn elsewhere for graduate study, to
avoid any professional 'inbreeding.' The
staff makes an integrated effort to
place its undergraduate majors who

wish to obtain graduate degrees.

Included in the graduate group are
four Army officers (one Major and three
Colonels) who were sent here for a
year's graduate instruction in the field
of personnel. Their presence here con-
stitutes a recognition of the standing
of the Department in this field, for the
total number of officers involved in the
program is small and the choice of
universities carefully supervised. One
of these officers has already received
his orders to continue on for a second
year of graduate study, in order to re-
ceive his Master's degree. All four have
proved to be serious students who have
made sound places for themselves in a
very active, capable graduate group.

Clinical Psychologists

At this time, most of the Ph.D. can-
didates are headed toward industrial
psychology or toward careers in voca-
tional orientation. In the Fall of 1947-
48, a new Associate Professor will be
added to the staff for work in the field
of Clinical Psychology. There is a very
great demand for Clinical Psychologists,
due to the increased activities of men-
tal health clinics, both in the Veterans'
Administration Hospitals in the U. S.
Public Health Service, and in civilian
centers.

Research: The Army Air Forces has
awarded a contract to the Department
for a long-term research program deal-
ing with warning devices for aircraft.
As aircraft speeds increase, it becomes
increasingly impossible for pilots to
read huge banks of dials, meters, and
gauges. As many as possible must be
replaced by automatic warning devices

[23]

which will tell the pilot that he is safe
to land, that something is wrong with
his engine, or that he must quickly
change his flight-altitude. The contract
awarded to Maryland calls for basic re-
search on these problems, with immedi-
ate checks in the Link Trainer. In ad-
dition to about $15,000 in funds, the
AAF has provided an air-conditioned
quonset hut to house the project and
has equipped this with a new-type Link
Trainer, Harvard noise-generator, pre-
cision timing devices and with other
research gear.

From Ohio State

Investigations got under way this
spring, with Dr. R. Y. Walker in charge.
Dr. Walker joined the staff this Spring,
after more than 6 years of full-time
research in Aviation Psychology at
Ohio State University and in National
Research Council laboratories.

The Navy has recently signed a con-
tract with the University for research
on the development and use of research
materials on leadership. The plans call
for members of the staff to assemble
existing psychological materials which
are based on controlled investigations
of leadership in practical situations.
These will then be tested out at the
Naval Academy and in NROTC units
at colleges and universities to determine
the most effective method of presenting
them to officers-in-training. Dr. F. H.
Sanford will direct this project, which
grows directly out of researches carried
on in the field during the war by mem-
bers of the Maryland staff.

Various other research projects are
under way. One candidate for the Ph.D.

is completing a thesis on radio audience
measurement which has already attrac-
ted the attention of commercial broad-
casting companies. Another is working
on the problem of the 'readability' of
letters-to-employees, institutional ad-
vertisements, and manuals of instruc-
tion. A third graduate student has
worked for the last five months in a
Baltimore industrial plant, attempting
to develop new methods of making con-
tinuing surveys of employee morale.
A fourth will assist Dr. Sanford in the
leadership survey. Dr. Jenkins, the
chairman of the Department, recently
reported to the Market Research Coun-
cil in New York on some long-term re-
searches on 'idea-projecting advertise-
ments' which he has been carrying on
for the Psychological Corporation.

1,000 Veterans

University Advisement Bureau: Un-
der the direction of Dr. D. D. Smith,
who was in charge of the Classification
of cadets at Pensacola Naval Air sta-
tion during the war, the University
maintains an Advisement Bureau of
sizeable proportions. Under a contract
with the Veterans Administration ap-
proximately one thousand veterans are
counselled by this Bureau during the
course of a year. In addition, each stu-
dent is entitled to use the facilities of
the Bureau for information regarding
jobs and areas of work for which his
abilities and interests best fit him. The
Bureau is equipped with a well-trained
technical staff and maintains a large
stock of standardized tests on which to
base its advisement.

Visiting Psychologists: The Depart-
ment makes the most of its favorable
geographical location to invite psy-
chologists who visit Washington to come

cut and address graduate and under-
graduate students. It would be difficult
to overestimate the value of these out-
side contacts. During the past year, the
Department has averaged more than
one visiting psychologist per week. In-
cluded in the list are Professor F. C.
Bartlett (Cambridge, England), Kurt
Lewin (M.I.T.), M. S. Viteles (Pennsyl-
vania), Joseph Tiffin (Purdue), E. L.
Kelly (Michigan), G. A. Kelly (Ohio
State), and Dael Wolfle (National Sec-
retary American Psychological Ass'n).
Undergraduate Instruction: The em-
phasis at the undergraduate level is
also on the applied phases of psycholo-
gy. The staff has recently devoted a
seminar to a review of undergraduate
programs at other universities and has
revised our own undergraduate offer-
ings accordingly. This has resulted in
a carefully integrated program of
courses which will allow the student to
see where he is going next and why.

DEPARTMENT

BACTERIOLOGY

THE number of students selecting
the science of Bacteriology as a
profession has increased significantly
during the past few years. This may
be accounted for in part by such fac-
tors as the development of new micro-
biological industrial processes such as
penicillin and streptomycin production,
the general trend toward establishment
of bacteriological research departments
in various industrial organizations and
the extension of control and research
work in Federal, State, and other lab-
oratories.

FACULTY MEMBERS, DEPARTMENT OF BACTERIOLOGY

Left to right: Dr. Pclczar, Dr. Faber, Mr. Doetsch, Dr. Laffer.

At present the number of undergradu-
ates majoring in Bacteriology exceeds
one hundred and the graduate student
group is double that of prewar days.
The same trend is evident with selec-
tion of Bacteriology as a minor science.

In September of 1946, the direction of
the department was assumed by Dr.
John E. Faber who was appointed act-
ing head. Other members of the staff
include Dr. Michael J. Pelczar, Dr.
Norman C. Laffer and Mr. Raymond
N. Doetsch.

Dr. John E. Faber, well known to all
Maryland alumni, returned to the Uni-
versity in 1945 after more than three
years duty as a Major in the Sanitary
Corps. His tour of duty at the Army
Medical School provided unusual ex-
periences in serology and pathogenic
bacteriology, his fields of specialization.

Dr. Michael J. Pelczar, a graduate of
Maryland, received his Ph.D. at the
State University of Iowa after which he
returned to the staff of this department.
His principal interests are in the field
of bacteriology, physiology and metabol-
ism.

Dr. Norman C. Laffer received his
Ph.D. degree from the University of
Illinois in 1937. He formerly taught
bacteriology at the Universities of
Maine and Arizona and prior to the
war was associated with the Lederle
Laboratories. His fields of specializa-
tion are food and sanitary bacteriology.

Mr. Raymond N. Doetsch is a gradu-
ate of the University of Illinois and
the University of Indiana, and prior to
coming to the department, he was with
the National Dairy Research Labora-
tories, Incorporated. Mr. Doetsch is
primarily interested in dairy bacteri-
ology and is engaged in research in
this field. He is nearing completion of
requirements for the Ph.D. degree.

The current research program of the
department extends over several funda-
mental and applied phases of bacteri-
ology. Investigations are in progress
dealing with a new class of disinfec-
tants designated as quaternary ammon-
ium compounds. Methods for evaluat-
ing their efficiency by laboratory pro-
cedures and their practical usefulness
in the dairy industry are being studied.
Several phases of milk bacteriology
with reference to specialized groups of
bacteria are being investigated. Re-
cently grants in aid were received from
the United States Public Health Ser-
vice to study problems in water bac-
teriology, bacterial classification and
metabolism.

A cooperative research program is
maintained between the Bacteriology
Department and the Fish and Wildlife
Service of the Department of Interior.
Here the many aspects of sanitary bac-
teriology as related to the sea food in-
dustry are constantly under investiga-
tion.

THE experimental work on an X-ray
and electron diffraction study of
silvered mirrors has been completed,
and the preparation of a paper for
publication is now in progress in the
Physics Department, College of Arts
and Sciences, University of Maryland.
The purpose of the study was to deter-
mine the cause and the nature of spoil-
age of silvered mirrors. The work, car-
ried out under the direction of Dr. Mor-
gan, was sponsored by the Hobbs Glass
Limited and the Pittsburgh Plate Glass
Company. A study of the optical pro-
perties of the mirrors is being made
by Mr. Martino as a thesis for the
Master's degree.

A research project has been started
in biophysics. It constitutes a study
of the physiological effect of high al-
titudes. At present, observations are
being made upon the temperature and
pulse changes under conditions created
to simulate the rate of change to dif-
ferent altitudes. This work is being
done by Boyd Cary under the direction
of Dr. Morgan in collaboration with

Dr. Phillips of the Zoology Depart-
ment. The project is supported by a
Navy contract.

In June, Sidney Liebson will receive
his Ph.D. in Physics. His thesis on the
quenching mechanism in Geiger coun-
ters was carried out at the Naval Re-
search Laboratory under the direction
of Dr. Myers. He presented two papers
on his research at the May meeting of
the American Physical Society in
Washington.

Dr. Cooper is directing a program of
research in cosmic rays, which includes
an extensive study of the directional

Dr. Richard W. Iskraut is doing re-
search work in the field of theories of
fundamental particles of nuclear and
cosmic ray phenomena. He presented a
paper entitled "On the Restricted Five
Dimensional Treatment of Wave Theo-
ries" at the Washington Meeting of the
American Physical Society on May 1-3,
1947.

Irene Cooney and William Gautier
are constructing apparatus consisting
of an ice calorimeter and a specially
designed high temperature furnace for

professor of physics.

TYPING COURSE

Philip S. Pepe, originator and instruc-
tor of the "One-Day Typing Course"
offered by the Evening and Extension
Division of the City College School of
Business of New York, had so many
requests to give demonstrations of the
course at various colleges and univer-
sities, that he arranged a one-month
tour of speaking engagements. He lec-
tured at the University of Maryland at
the request of Professor Arthur S. Pa-
trick, College of Business and Public
Administration.

ASSESSOR'S SCHOOL

The Second Annual School for Mary-
land Assessing Officers will be held on
ihe campus of the University of Mary-
land from August 4 to 7, 1947. This
school, as was the case with the school
held last year, is arranged under the
joint sponsorship of the Maryland As-
sociation of Assessing Officers, the Na-
tional Association of Assessing Officers,
the Maryland State Tax Commission,
the State Department of Education, and
the University of Maryland. The first
school was devoted to instruction in

general principles of property tax as-
sessment. This year's school will spe-
cialize in advanced land appraisal. In-
struction in class will be combined with
field work done under supervision. Per-
sons eligible to enroll in the course
are state and local governmental of-
ficials in Maryland who hold certificates
in last year's preliminary course. Cer-
tificates in advanced land appraisal
will be awarded to those completing
the course satisfactorily.

Director of the school will be Aldro
Jenks, City Assessor of Waterbury,

Connecticut. Other members of the
staff will be George B. Horan, Assessor
of the Town of Portland, Connecticut;
Glen L. Brown, Director of the Balti-
more Education Center of the Univer-
sity of Maryland; and Joseph M. Ray,
Head of the Department of Government
and Politics of the University of Mary-
land. Richard T. Boyle, of Cecil Coun-
ty, who is Chairman of the In-Service
Training Committee of the Maryland
Association of Assessing Officers, has
participated actively in planning the
school.

UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND GLEE CLUB

Center: Professor B. Harlan Randall, Director.

MUSIC DEPARTMENT

OUT of the confusion and babble of
the voices of a hundred boys who
tried out for Glee Club as the Uni-
versity of Maryland opened last Fall,
sixty made good and formed the Men's
Glee Club for the 13th Season under the
direction of Professor Harlan Randall,
Head of the Music Department. The
year for these boys was an interesting
and successful one with appearances on
campus, nearby areas and trips to
points throughout the State, climaxing
with a train trip to White Plains, New
York, in May. Here the Glee Club sang
as a group and joined with some
eighteen hundred men for a Massed
Concert of the Associated Male Chorus-
es of America, Atlantic Conference.

No less thrilling was the season for
the Women's Chorus of sixty voices.
They appeared on campus in a Concert
with Thomas L. Thomas, famous bari-
tone, had several trips around the State
and finished their engagements with a
trip to Annapolis, Maryland, where they
were acclaimed by the Midshipmen.

One of the high points of the year on
campus was the varsity production of
the Clef and Key — outgrowth of the
Opera Club which has functioned steadi-
ly for twenty years. The fun and frolic,
as well as the work and planning for
these varsity shows creates an unusual
interest among the students. They are
100% written, staged and produced by
the students, with supervision by a
member of the Music Department fac-
ulty, and are widely applauded.

Music courses in Harmony, Apprecia-
tion, History of Music, and Survey of
Opera give impetus and inspiration to
the writers of these original musical

comedies and supply the answers to
difficult musical problems. The teaching
and guidance of these students is in the
hands of Prof. Randall.

During the year, starting actively in
the Fall with football, the Music De-
partment trains the Band that supports
the Athletic program and keeps the
R.O.T.C. boys in step with their lively
marches, and works the emotions to a
veritable frenzy during a close match
playing the many popular school songs,
most of them written by students or
alumni of our own University of Mary-
land. The Band has made several trips
with the football team, an item which
keeps the members grossly interested.

At many functions during the two
winter semesters the University of
Maryland Orchestra is in great de-
mand. The twenty-five to thirty mem-
bers are rehearsed by a member of the
Music Department faculty and for the

Professor B. Harlan Randall, Director of Music:

past four or five years have been ably
assisted by Joseph M. Power, Violinist,
part time Assistant Instructor. For the
past twelve years it has been the final
duty of the Orchestra to play for the
graduation exercises of the University
before some five thousand people.

All members of the above organiza-
tions find their schedules full to the
brim with exciting engagements at in-
numerable campus functions, for what
Assembly is successful without some
form of music? What would May Day
be without the Band, the Orchestra,
the Women's Chorus? In fact, how
could organizations, large or small,
have interesting programs without the
aid of those talented in music? To the
hundreds of students of the Music De-
partment who gave of their time and
musical talent come the plaudits of
literally thousands of people who have
enjoyed their varied programs.

HISTORY DEPARTMENT

MEMBERS of the staff of the
History Department are con-
stantly participating in programs which
carry the influence of the department
far beyond the confines of the campus.
Of special significance among these ac-
tivities are participation in forums, ad-
dresses to many groups in the state and
in the Washington area such as service
clubs, federation of women's clubs,
P. T. A. organizations, and other edu-
cational and church groups. In January
and February, Professor Gewehr served
on five successive Sunday afternoons as
moderator of the Enoch Pratt Free
Library's Institute on Atomic Energy.
These sessions were attended by an
average of from 1500 to 2000 persons.

Two members of the instructional
staff, Professor Gewehr and Associate
Professor Bauer, served in the Army
universities in England and France.
Professor Bauer also lectured on Ger-
man history at the United States Zone
Constabulary School at Santhofen, Ger-
many, and his lectures were published
by the United States Army for class
use after he left. Professor Gewehr
was the civilian chairman of the history
departments in the two army universi-
ties at Shrivenham, England and Biar-
ritz, France, and was responsible for
recruiting the civilian teaching staff.
He also served in the Army Lecture
Bureau in Germany as a member of a
discussion panel which appeared before
audiences embracing thousands of
soldiers.

Professor Gordon W. Prange is on
leave of absence in Tokyo to supervise
the writing of a history of the Pacific
war based on the Japanese sources.
During his service in the Navy, Dr.
Prange pursued post-doctoral studies at
Columbia University and taught in the
Navy program at Princeton University.
He has attained a mastery of the Rus-

sian and Japanese languages and will
be in a position to make a unique con-
tribution to the University upon re-
sumption of his professorship. His
rank was that of Lieutenant Comman-
der when he was discharged from the
Navy and attached to the Historical
Section, G2, in Tokyo.

A most pretentious undertaking in
the field of scholarly publication is the
editing and annotating of a five volume
revolutionary diary of the years 1753-
1783 by Assistant Professor McAnear.
The diary is that of a high ranking
New York Tory, William Smith, Junior,
who was a Royal Councillor and Chief
Justice of the colony and later on Chief
Justice of Quebec. The project is being
sponsored by the Princeton University
Press. Associate Professor Merrill has
completed a study of the Bourbon De-
mocracy of the Middle West 1865-1896
which he expects to publish soon. As-
sistant Professor Gordon has recently
submitted to Columbia University a
study of British imperial history en-
titled The British Annexation of Pa-
pua. Assistant Professor Jashemski is
completing a study in Roman history
The Origin and History of the Pro-
consular and Propraetorian Imperium
which will be published by the Univer-
sity of Chicago Press. Assistant Pro-
fessor Crosman will soon complete a
biography of Jose Ives Limantour, fi-
nancier of the Diaz period. He spent
the year 1945-46 in Mexico in gathering
his source material and will return
there in the summer of 1947 to com-
plete the project. The study will prob-
ably be published by the Harvard Uni-
versity Press. Dr. Fred W. Wellborn,
formerly of Iowa State Teachers Col-
lege, is now Professor of History at
Maryland and is author of The Growth
of American Nationality which is used
as one of the textbooks in the History
of American Civilization. Dr. Verne

Chatelain joined the staff in September
1945 as Professor of Social and Eco-
nomic History. He was previously
chief historian of the United States
National Park Service, director of the
St. Augustine historical program and
research associate in the Carnegie In-
stitution, Washington, D. C.

DEPARTMENT OF ART

IN the fall of 1945 the University of
Maryland instituted a department of
Art in the College of Arts and Sciences,
organized and directed by Professor
Maurice R. Siegler. Classes were
opened officially the following semester.

The courses in Art presented first
were necessarily the basic courses, in
which the students were taught the fun-
damental principles of drawing, paint-
ing and composition. There was also
an outline lecture course in the history
of the visual arts, including painting,
sculpture and architecture, the purpose
of which was to serve as a background
to a better understanding of Art in its
relation to the history of civilization, as
well as providing a background for
more detailed study. A class in Art
Appreciation was included among these
basic courses, to guide the student to
a proper approach and better under-
standing of art and its objectives.

With the background covered, more
advanced courses were planned and are
now being given for those who wish to
continue and work toward a degree in
the Fine Arts. The Art Department has
also welcomed students who are inter-
ested in these courses from the purely
cultural standpoint, and those major-
ing in Education and planning to teach
Art.

sponse of the students to the estab-

FINE ARTS

Seated: Maurice R. Siegler, Head of Art De-
partment.

Standing: Herman Maril, Instructor Painting
and Composition, and Evalyn Greenberg, In-
structor of Art Appreciation.

Maurice R. Siegler, Head of the Department
of Art, College of Arts and Sciences, University
of Maryland, received his training in Art at
the Art Students League, New York, Pennsyl-
vania, Florida, Julian Academy in Paris, Foun-
tainbleau School of Fine Arts, France, also
Andrew Arch at University of Pennsylvania,
Columbia University, Georgia Tech., where he
got his B.S. degree in Architecture. He served
as instructor in the Arch. Dept. of Clemson A.
& M. College, S. C, as Asst. Prof, of Archt.
at Ga. Tech. and Director of Art Dept., Brenau
College, Gainesville, Ga.

His paintings may be found in such perma-
nent art collections and public buildings as:

Richmond Museum of Arts and Sciences.

Lobby of Hotel St. Frances, Newark, N. J.

Military Hospital, Fountainbleau, France.

Law Library, U. of Ga., Athens, Ga.

State House, Atlanta, Ga.

Chamber of Commerce, Atlanta, Ga.

C. W. Long Hosp., Atlanta, Ga.

Herman Maril, Instructor of Painting and
Composition. He was taught at the Cumming-
ton School in Massachusetts, and at the New
King-Smith School in Washington, among others.

Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York,

Phillips Memorial Gallery, Washington, D. C,

Baltimore Museum of Art, Baltimore,

Cone Collection, Baltimore,

American University, Washington, D. C,

Howard University Gallery of Art, Washing-
ton. D. C,

Encyclopedia Britannica, etc., etc.

He has executed murals in the Post Office of
West Scranton, Penna., and Alta Vista, Vir-
ginia.

He is a member of the Board of Directors n"
the Baltimore Museum, and has a prominent
place among the most important of the youn .
artists of the United States.

lishing of a department of Art on the
campus is clearly evidenced by the in-
creasing enrollments for the classes.
The department has found it necessary
to add to the studio space originally
alloted to it, with a corresponding in-
crease in the size of the faculty. In
September, 1946, the Art Department
was able to acquire the services of the
well known artist and teacher, Herman

Maril. Stephen Schoen, a graduate stu-
dent and a brilliant young lecturer, who
was engaged to assist in the art ap-
preciation course, was replaced by Mrs.
Evelyn Greenberg in February.

"Art has become so important to
Americans that it transcends politics.
Frick, Morgan, Mellon, Huntington and
others have secured from Europe's
treasures great works of art which are
now available to the public in museums.
America's store of ancient art is large
and surprisingly good. In the last fif-
teen years or thereabouts, the great
Whitney and Rockefeller fortunes have
been thrown in the scale for modern
art. Add to this the vastly important
assistance of the Federal government
which has spent more than nineteen
million dollars during the latter half of
the 1930s to encourage the native
painter and to bring original art before
the masses of Americans. At the same
time, art interest has greatly increased
among the people, as shown by the
growing attendance at museums and
galleries. Within the last quarter cen-
tury, while the population has gained
slightly less than twenty-five percent,
there has been more than three hun-
dred percent increase in the number of
art museums, art schools, art societies
and professional artists.

"Modern American painting is a vast
movement. There are twenty thousand
active artists in the United States to-
day. Of these it is safe to say that two
hundred are doing work of real signifi-
cance. Hundreds of young recruits are
coming up every year from the nation's
art schools and universities.

"The public schools have awakened to
the need for art. More and more col-

leges are installing the position of ar-
tist-in-residence, which means that a
prominent artist is engaged to live on
ihe campus, not to teach formal classes,
but to inspire the students by bringing
them into actual contact with art in the
making."

The University of Maryland has
■lemonstrated how sensitive it is to this
rising trend toward art consciousness
in the developing of our American cul-
ture by thus responding to these grow-
ing demands, and by taking part in the
nationwide move to provide for the
needs of the creative artist in the pro-
gram of the academic world.

It has become increasingly evident
with the accelerated tempo at which
American art, as such, is developing,
that the academic community has a
responsibility to provide explicitly for
the education of the creative artist. The
four or five years of college study are
the vital and formative years in an ar-
tist's career. It is with this in mind
that the University of Maryland is
making it possible for the potential art-
ist to avail himself of a curriculum
which provides the necessary freedom
for creative work within an academic
program, leading to the degrees of
Eachelor of Arts and Master of Arts.

At the same time the university stu-
dent who is preparing for other fields
of endeavor, but who still feels the need
of the enriching experience of actual
contact with the practical side of ar-
tistic creativity, is here given this
opportunity.

Future plans for the Art Department
include courses in Book and Magazine

PERSONNEL DIRECTOR ANNOUNCES UNIVERSITY! EMPLOYMENT PLACEMENT SERVICE

ALUMNI who haven't yet found
their final choice of occupation as
well as newly graduated alumni have
many chances to make selections from
the inquiries received by the University
placement offices, advises Mr. George
W. Fogg, the University's Director of
Personnel.

Engineers are still in the greatest
demand. The opportunities range all
the way between selling and research.
One of the more promising opportuni-
ties in the latter field is offered by the
Glenn L. Martin Company, Baltimore,
which is interested in men specializing
in electronics, liquid rockets, computer
designs, servo mechanisms and radar.
Interested alumni should get in touch
with Mr. Roy G. Andrews, Industrial
Relations Division, Glenn L. Martin
Company, Baltimore 3, Maryland.

Other companies who have inquired
about engineers are: Carbide and Car-
bon Chemicals Corporation, South
Charleston 3, W. Va.; Bethlehem Steel
Company, Bethlehem, Pennsylvania;
Potomac Electric Power Company,
Washington, D. C. The Gilling Manu-
facturing Company, 1207 Chateau St.,
Pittsburgh, 12, Pennsylvania wants a
girl with engineering training.

Good salesmen always have oppor-
tunities. Mr. Clark of the Washington
District of Flintkote Company, Wood-
ward Building, Washington, has in-
quired about personnel age 24 years to
33 years. They have an especially at-
tractive situation for young men.

Various social agencies are looking
for new personnol. The American Red
Cross, Eastern Area, 615 North St.
Asaph St., Alexandria, Virginia, has
been interested in a man with a Mas-
ter's degree in Education to adapt pro-
gram material to school systems. In-
quiries should be addressed to Mr.
George E. Hand at the Alexandria
address. Boy Scouts of America, 2
Park Avenue, New York is interested
in locating young men with Scouting
experience for professional careers with
that organization. Their contact man
is Mr. H. F. Pote.

Expectant young business executives
have quite a field to choose from.
Among the choices is the W. T. Grant

Company, 1441 Broadway, New York
18, N. Y. which is looking for young
men with an interest in the retail field.
Write to Mr. C. E. Whitman.

Montgomery Ward & Company, has
a regular recruiting program for men
trained in business departments. Mr.
F. G. Schmitt, House Personnel Mana-
ger, c/o Montgomery Ward & Com-
pany, Baltimore, Maryland has been
interviewing prospects.

Young men who are personable and
good speakers and who have degrees
in science are of interest to Mr. Ken-
dall G. Getmas of the John Wiley &
Sons, Inc., publishers of scientific books,
440 Fourth Ave., New York, 16, N. Y-
They will be asked to negotiate with
authors of books about to be published.

portunity for a young man with English
training to become connected with
their advertising department.

For the young ladies we have a choice
opportunity as a dietitian with St. An-
drew's School, Middletowu, Deleware.

Regardless of the wide publicity
about governmental cutbacks on ac-
count of the economy budget, many
government departments are in the
market for specialized personnel. Civil
Service announcements have been is-
sued for the following recently:

Mathematicians ($3397 to $5905),
for service in Washington;

Metallurgists ($3397 to $5905), for
service in or near Washington, D. C;

Radio Engineer ($2,644 to $3397),
for service throughout the United
States.

The U. S. Naval Ordnance Testing
Station, Inyokern, California has nu-
merous positions for physicists, chem-
ists, mathematicians, engineers, techni-
cians and scientific aids. The location
is 160 miles north of Los Angeles and
the station is larg-ely self-contained
with its own public services and enter-
tainment. Inquiries should be addressed
to Director of Personnel, Naval Ord-
nance Testing Station, Inyokern, Cali-
fornia.

A little nearer home, there was re-
cently issued a call for a Fire Marshall,
CAF 12, at $5905.20 per annum. The
inquiries should be addressed to the

U. S. Civil Service Examiners, Fifth
Naval District, Naval Station, Norfolk
11, Virginia.

Some of these civil service opportuni-
ties may have been closed before this
sees print, but similar opportunities
are regularly coming up and interested
alumni would gain by keeping in con-
tact with their Civil Service Regional
Offices.

Accountants can command attention
from the Shell Company, 909 East 22nd
St., Baltimore (18), which is offering a
good chance to men under 30. Lee R.
Staples, Certified Public Accountant,
Standard Oil Building has also invited
the University to call the attention of
its graduates to the possibility of en-
tering his staff as junior accountants.

Several teaching opportunities in
fields ranging from English to secre-
tarial science are on file with the Uni-
versity.

Young men who are qualified and in-
terested in becoming farm managers
will have several offers to choose from
by contacting Mr. Arthur Hamilton in
the College of Agriculture.

Although the margin between the
number of offers and the number of
candidates is rapidly growing smaller,
the University is in frequent receipt of
inquiries for qualified alumni in a
number of fields and is anxious to
learn about interested candidates.

CIVILIZATION

There are many tangible evidences
that we are advancing in civilizaton.
For instance:

We are making better padlocks than
ever before — and using them on a
larger number of our belongings, in-
cluding the tires on our automobiles.

We have greatly improved our peni-
tentiaries and are boarding more peo-
ple in them at government expense.

Our war machine is the wonder of
the world and our means for driving
terror to the hearts of people would
make old Nero a piker.

Our cigarette bill is making tremen-
dous strides forward and anything in
the form of alcoholic drinks has official
sanction.

Ain't civilization wonderful!

ROBERT H. ARCHER, JR.

ROBERT H. ARCHER, Jr., Belair,
Maryland '35, AB, LLB, was elect-
ed Judge Advocate of the 29th Division
Association at the Division's convention
in Baltimore.

Mr. Archer was inducted with the
29th Division for World War II on
February 3, 1941. Successively pro-
moted to Captain and Major, he served
in England, France, Belgium, Holland
and Germany.

He was promoted to Lieutenant Colo-
nel in 1943. Colonel Archer wears the
Bronze Star Medal, European, African,
Middle Eastern Campaign medals with
four battle stars and the usual service
medals.

Members of the 29th Division Asso-
ciation called on the Secretary of the
Treasury to tax all gifts made to Com-
munist "front" organizations.

In a resolution passed at the group's
annual reunion the veterans contended
that wealthy persons now contribute to
left-wing organizations on a tax-free
basis, thus depriving the Government
of income taxes.

C. Arthur Eby, Baltimore attorney,
was elected president of the association.
Dr. William Triplett, who commanded
the division's 104th Medical Regiment
in World War I, was named vice com-
mander.

Brig. Gen. D. John Markey of Fred-
erick recommended that the 29th Divi-
sion Association urge the State to erect
in Baltimore a monument commemorat-
ing the part played by the 29th in
World Wars I and II.

The division landed on Omaha Beach
in the Normandy invasion.

CHARLES W. SYLVESTER

Mr. Charles W. Sylvester, Maryland
(Agricultural College), '08. has been
promoted from the position of Director
of Vocational Education in Baltimore
to that of Assistant Superintendent for
Vocational Education. He will continue
his activities in the interest of vocation-
al education as a member of the Board
of Superintendents. Coincident with
this well-deserved promotion, Mr. Syl-
vester rounded out his 25th year of
service as Director of Vocational Ed-
ucation in Baltimore.

Thirty-nine years ago, Mr. Sylvester
entered the teaching profession as in-
structor of manual training in Nor-

folk, Virginia. For fourteen years he
served successively as instructor, super-
visor, and director at Indianapolis,
Indiana; Springfield, Illinois; and Ham-
mond, Indiana. Prior to assuming his
position in Baltimore, he was District
Vocational Officer for the Federal Gov-
ernment, in directing the rehabilitation
of disabled soldiers of World War I in
Illinois, Michigan, and Wisconsin.

Under Mr. Sylvester's administration
as director, the program of vocational
education in Baltimore was developed
upon a sound philosophy aimed at
meeting the needs of boys and girls at
many levels of ability. Over the years
there was evolved the present Multi-
Level Plan of Vocational Education,
which has been in successful operation
since 1935. This plan is unique in
America today. Many educators point
to it as a pattern for vocational educa-
tion.

AN ILLUSION?

If you gaze steadily at the wheels on the con-

THAT'S AN ILLUSION.

But it's no illusion that the Alumni Associ-

publication, needs your support in order to keep
wheeling ahead.

Better read Dave Brigham's "Turtle Talk"

TO CHEER

ABOUT?

THINK ABOUT!
ALSO IT NEEDS

ACTION;

YOUB ACTION!

Not only from Maryland alumni but from graduates of other
universities comes high praise for "Maryland", your alumni
publication !

They tell us it is "tops."

Printing 21,000 copies of a magazine of this volume and
make-up is definitely not a minor publication project.

Things like this just don't "Happen." Manna quit falling
in the Oid Testament.

"Maryland" represents hard work, planning, expenditure.

The magazine, along with other alumni activities, needs your
support.

summer training period he won the
VFW medal as the best drilled private,
a cash prize as a tap dancer for the
best theatrical act, and the gold medal
for the lightweight boxing champion-
ship.

He was one of a sizable group from
the Fifth Battalion to win commission-
ed rank on Guadalcanal. He left the
service as a Captain and returned to
the regular Marine Corps as a warrant
officer.

He was an exceptionally popular fel-
low and was rated as an excellent of-
ficer.

Besides his widow, he is survived by
a son, Charles E. Hudgins, Jr., 2, and a
7 week-old daughter, Joy Elaine Hud-
gins. They live at 4013 Thirtieth street,
Mount Rainier. A brother, John E.
Hudgins of Baltimore, and a sister,
Mrs. Anna Moe Potts, of Alexandria,
also survive.

Mrs. Dwight G. Rivers

Mrs. Dwight Gray Rivers, formerly
of Lynchburg, died at her home at
Crumpler, W. Va.

Mrs. Rivers was born in Farmville,
March 17, 1886, and was a graduate of
Farmville State Teachers College and
of the University of Maryland Nurses
Training School. She was a member of
First Presbyterian Church, Lynchburg,
the Colonial Dames, Daughters of the
American Revolution and was the first
State president of the Virginia Hugue-
not Society.

Mrs. Rivers went to McDowell, W.
Va., in 1936 with Dr. Rivers, who be-
came associated with Dr. W. L. Johns-
ton, coal company physician at Crum-
pler.

In addition to Dr. Rivers, Mrs. Rivers
is survived by a son, Dwight G. Rivers,
Jr., of Blacksburg; a daughter, Mrs.
Frederick V. Reed of Charleston, W.
Va., and two grandchildren, Linda Gray
and Frederick Venable Reed, Jr.

FUTURE ISSUES

Upon conclusion of the series of
special editions of Maryland, each
featuring one of the University's col-
leges or schools, the magazine will
proceed with articles featuring all
schools, Baltimore as well as College
Park, in all issues, thus presenting
each month a better balanced, all-
University publication.

The special editions, mostly historic
records of the schools concerned, have
served their purpose.

The system to be followed in the fu-
ture was submitted to all deans and
heads of departments. The vote in
favor of each issue of Maryland being
a general publication was unanimous.

Special editions yet to come are: —

October — Graduate School. This num-
ber will also be largely general.

November — Women's number, fea-
turing "Women at Maryland" and the
College of Home Economics.

January — Military Science and Tac-
tics and Physical Education.

The next issue, September, will be
the Athletic and sports annual, which
will be a feature each year, the publi-
cation serving a two-fold purpose as
an alumni publication and athletic
prospectus.

MARYLAND ATHLETICS

W ork To Sl.irl On ^Indium Anil Auditorium

Greater Plant
Needed For
1948 Games

THE University of Maryland's
much-discussed and long-awaited
new football stadium, in the works for
about 10 years, is well beyond the
dreaming stage and getting down to
a practical basis. Director of Athletics
Walter S. Driskill announced final plans
have been approved by President H. C.
Byrd and work is expected to begin
soon.

The horseshoe-shaped stadium is to
be constructed in four units. It is being
designed so that each unit after the
first may be built without difficulty, so
as to avoid troubles encountered in
cases where stadiums have been erected
without thought of future additions.
The first unit will seat slightly over
31,000 persons, and it is expected to
have this unit ready by the opening of
football in 1948. The other three units
will be added as need may indicate, and
ultimately the structure will seat in
permanent stands almost 100,000. With
temporary seats the stadium in 1948
will take care of about 38,000.

The stadium must be ready for use
in 1948 because Maryland has signed
Duke, Vanderbilt and other teams for
home-and-home series, with an under-
standing that suitable facilities will be
available at College Park for big-time
football. Double-decked, the place will
resemble Franklin Field in Philadelphia.
The site of the new stadium is ex-
pected to be in the area Southwest of
the dairy barns, to the North of the
"back road" and North of Margaret
Brent Hall.

This location, well off of the Balti-
more-Washington Highway, will solve
the automobile parking problem.

"Maryland, meeting the better teams
in the country," Driskill said, "must
have a good stadium in which to ac-
commodate the crowds such games will
attract."

Next on the building agenda is the
new indoor auditorium to be used, in
addition to sports, for commencement
exercises and other large non-athletic
functions. In basketball and boxing,
Maryland cannot now take care of its
own student body. If the alumni and
general public are to see these teams

GRID OUTLOOK

JAMES M. (Big Jim) Tatum, new
head coach of football at the Uni-
versity of Maryland, after six weeks
of winter and spring drills, firmly is
convinced that the Old Liners need
much more strength, particularly in the
line, to make a creditable showing in
the tough 10-game schedule next fall
and to start on the upward path in the
grid pastime.

Tatum, while fairly well pleased with
the backfield outlook, except that he is
badly in need of a punter, opined that
he didn't have more than two or three
linemen who could match the kind of
forwards the Old Liners must oppose
during the 1947 campaign, and earnest-
ly is hoping that the fall term will
produce some potent talent, especially
for the up-front jobs.

"Frankly, I don't know of any team
on our schedule we could beat at pres-
ent," Tatum remarked at the close of
the drills as he wrung out the crying
towel, "but with the hustle and scrap
of these boys, I'm hoping we'll catch

[42]

COACH JIM TATUM

Big Jim really gave the proverbial crying tow-
el, familiar to all collegiate coaches, a good work
out with dim football predictions for the coming
season. But student body, faculty and alumni,
knowing how hard the big fellow and his asso-
ciates have been working and how enthusiastic
the players are about a "1947 comeback," hope
that Tatum maybe had his tongue in his
cheek and that the Terps will do e little scoring
this year at that.

an outfit work so hai'd and have as
much fight. If their willingness is any
criterion of the future, they'll do a good
job of representing Maryland. However,
I fear we'll need more than that to
combat the teams on our schedule."

In other words, Tatum doesn't expect
to perform a miracle in 1947. He real-
izes fully that time is essential to build-
ing a sound football team and feels
that it will take four years, at least,
to accomplish the huge task.

"By 1950 we should have a team of
which Maryland can be proud, one
which truly can represent the univer-
sity," said Tatum. "But it takes lots
of time and plenty of hard work. Mean-
while we'll do our best to turn out a
good, interesting and scrappy eleven."

Big Jim somehow recalled Winston
Churchill's words after the Nazis had
first driven British forces into the sea,
"Courage is not enough." Alumni and
student body, however, are hoping Ta-
tum had, at least partly, his tongue in
his cheek and that the Terps, under
Tatum leadership and the enthusiasm
of the players and assistant coaches,
will not be entirely pushed out of the
picture, and that the Old Liners will
win some of the games on a tough
schedule.

CANCER FUND DRIVE

Colonel Harvey L. Miller, Director
of Publications and Head Boxing Coach
at the University of Maryland, was
elected Treasurer of the Sportsmen's
Committee, Damon Runyon Cancer
Fund, at a meeting at the Hotel Statler
in Washington last month.

Clark Griffith, owner of the Wash-
ington Baseball Club was chosen Chair-
man with Francis Stann, of the Wash-
ington Star and Bus Ham, of the Wash-
ington Post as Vice Chairman and Sid-
ney Lust, prominent theatre owner, as
publicity director. Other members of
the Board with specific duties intended
to interest promoters of all sports
events in the Washington Area toward
conducting shows with part of the pro-
ceeds going to the Cancer Fund are- —

Jim Gibbons, WMAL; Bob Wolfe,
and Dick O'Brien, Times-Herald. Sid-
ney Lust, prominent Maryland theatre
operator, and Joseph Holman were del-
egated to handle publicity.

Other well known sports figures who
pledged their support to the drive were:
Gteorge Garner, Times-Herald; Dick
McCann, Redskins; Art Brown and Bill
Brundige, WOL; Jerry Strong, WEAM;
Hugh "Bingo" Flynn, president, and
Lewis "Knocky" Thomas, manager of
the Touchdown Club; Thomas P. Mor-
gan and Clarence Talley of the boxing
commission; Bill Herson, WRC and
Tony Howard, WPIK; Ray Michael,

WMAL; and Eddie Galliher, WTOP.
The objective is to raise $50,000 in
the Washington area through sports
events and individual contributions
from sportsmen. Such individual con-
tributions in any amount may be sent
to the Treasurer, Sportsmen's Commit-
tee, Damon Runyon Cancer Fund, Room

KNOCKY IN '28

Lewis (Knocky) Thomas, one of the greatest
football backs ever turned out at the University
of Maryland, assumed his duties as manager of
the Touchdown Club of Washington.

Thomas was one of 13 charter members who
helped organize the club back in the 1930's. and
also one of its ablest early presidents.

HEADS TOUCHDOWN

Lt. Col. Lewis W. (Big Knocky)
Thomas, Jr., '28, one of Maryland's
finest gridmen and trackmen of all-
time, as a member of the 12th Air
Force, was awarded the Legion of
Merit for his outstanding service as
wire officer during the African, Sicilian,
Italian and Southern France invasions.

Knocky, who was a 10-second 1U0-
yard dashman and fast-stepping quar-
ter miler, was a great back on the
football teams of 1925, 1926 and 1927
and he and Myron (Mike) Stevens
teamed up as one of the best all-around
backfield pairs in Old Line history.
They played stellar roles, offensively

and defensively, as Maryland whipped
Yale ir 1926 by 15-0 and shone in many
other games, singly and collectively.

Fred (Little Knocky) followed broth-
er Lewis to Maryland and was cut-
standing in basketball and baseball.

TERPS TRIP YALE

Boots Panella, mainstay of the Mary-
land baseball team's hurling corps took
matters in his own hands as the Old
Liners closed their season by spilling
heavily favored Yale, 3-2, at New
Haven.

The game was the second in a sched-
uled four-game northern swing. Two
of the contests were rained out, and the
Liners dropped the fourth to Harvard,
5-3.

Yale, runner-up for the national
championship, edged along on a 2-1
lead until the eighth inning when
Panella, who had hurled a remarkable
game, went to work at the plate. With
two mates aboard, the husky chucker
poled a triple to the far parts of center
field, winning his own ball game and
accounting for Maryland's outstanding
victory of the 1947 season.

Bill Zupnik suffered a fit of wildness
as the Terps squared off against the
Harvards, walking eight men in the
first two innings and accounting largely
for the Crimson lead. From that point
Bob Keene took over and shut out the
opposition for the remainder of the
game.

Bob Andrus, slugging centerfielder
put in his chunk for the Maryland cause
with a home run, but none were on and
the blow did little good.

TOM CHISARI AT C.U.A.

Tom Chisari, well known Maryland
football player and all around athlete,
who graduated in June, has been signed
by Catholic University of America as
Director of Physical Education and
trainer for C. U.'s athletic teams. C. U.
is resuming football this year with a
series of games in the Mason-Dixon
league.

Opponents On
Home and Home
Basis

By Merrill Dodson

THE boxing schedule for the Uni-
versity of Maryland, announced by
Director of Athletics, Walter S. Dris-
kill, shows Coach Heinie Miller's South-
ern Conference champions tackling the
most pretentious ring schedule in Mary-
land's boxing history.

On February 9th, at East Lansing,
Michigan, the Marylanders will face
powerful Michigan State. The Spar-
tans, undefeated in 1947 and with a
win to their credit over University of
of Wisconsin team, have three out-
standing letter men in southpaw
Charles Davey, national intercollegiate
135 pound champion; Daniel Hickey,
stellar 145 pound national runner up,
who was eliminated in the nationals
due to a cut eye; and 175 pound Billy
Richey, who lost a very close decision
in the national finals. The agreement
with the Spartans is on a home and
home basis. They will show at College
Park in 1949.

L. S. U. Here

On January 30th, at College Park,
the Old Liners face Louisiana State
University's mittsters. Coached by J.
T. Owen, the L. S. U. boys, as in pre-
war days, are fistic dynamite. They
draw much of their talent from the
Louisiana high school boxing program
as exemplified at the recent national
junior scholastic meet at Charlottesville,
where Louisiana lads from Palomine
High School turned in outstanding box-
ing jobs. Maryland boxers will meet
the L. S. U. Tigers in 1949 at Baton
Rouge, La. under a home and home
agreement.

Army Again

The Terrapins will face the Army at
West Point on January 17th, continu-
ing the rivalry between the Terps and
Coach Billy Cavanagh's fighting cadets.

Two more new names on the Mary-
land schedule are Clemson Agricultural
College and The Citadel.

The Clemson Tigers, who meet Mary-
land at College Park on February 14th,
are coached by Colonel Bob Jones, are
always tough. In their line up is Jerry
Orr, Southern Conference 130 pound
champion and Carl Pulkinen, 135 pound

box at Clemson in 1949.

The Citadel boxes Maryland at Col-
lege Park on February 20th. They are
coached by H. L. Mathews and have one
Southern Conference champion in Dale
Mathews, 165, the coach's son. The
agreement with the Bulldogs is also on
a home and home basis, the Terrapins
journeying to Charleston, S. C. in 1949.

The rivalry between Maryland and
the University of South Carolina, where
Durnas Turner is coach, will be con-
tinued when the Gamecocks meet the
Terrapins in the season's opener at Col-
lege Park on January 9th. Maryland's
team will return the visit by appearing
at Columbia, S. C. in 1949. South Caro-
lina boasts two Southern Conference
champions in Ray Avant, 145, and
Chuch Spann, 175. The latter lost out
in the NCAA finals due to a very close
split decision.

C. U. A. Also

Moving the inter-school boxing rival-
ry between Maryland and Catholic Uni-
versity into the twelfth dual meet be-
tween the Terps and Coach Eddie La-
Fond's clouters, Maryland faces C. U.
A. at Brookland on January 24th. The
score now stands at five wins for Mary-
land, four for C. U. and two draws.

Maryland won in 1935, 1942, 1943,
1946, and 1947.

C. U. won in 1936, 1938, 1940 and
1941. The 1937 and 1939 meets, during
which years Maryland had an unde-
feated record and the Southern Confer-
ence championship, resulted in draws
with C. U.

The Terrapins close their 1948 dual
meet season by facing Bucknell at

Lewisburg, Pa. on February 28th.
Billy Richards coaches the Bisons.

It has not yet been decided where the
Southern Conference tournament will
be held. Very likely this event will be
staged at either Columbia, S. C. or Col-
lege Park, Md. depending upon which
of the Southern Conference teams
shows the best record during the dual
meet season.

"The Nationals"

While the place and date for the NC
AA Tournament ("The Nationals")
have not yet been selected, the last
week in April has been tentatively
chosen for the tournament because that
date will not bring about a great inter-
val of time between the NCAA meet
and the final Olympic tryouts.

It is understood that the University
of Minnesota, at Minneapolis, is favored
for the tournament.

For the NCAA tournament in 1948
the Olympic weights will be used.
These weights are 112, 118, 126, 135,
147, 160, 175, Heavyweight. •

The normal collegiate weights are
125, 130, 135, 145, 155, 165, 175, Un-
limited.

Writes Mr. Abe J. Greene, managing
editor of the Paterson Evening News,
"Kenny Malone, University of Mary-
land's Southern Conference heavyweight
champion, was a guest last night at
the Diamond Gloves Tournament. We
presented him from the ring as a pro-
duct of our tournament and as Mary-
land's Champion. He received a fine

OLD TIMERS URGE SPIRIT OF '07

Football Team
was Ragged Rut
Right and Tough
Rabies to Lather,
Recall five Veteran
Players

By Dave Brighum

THE good die young; the bad live
forever," observed five returning
members of the class of 1897.

At College Park to attend their 50th
reunion were Harry Heward, Class
Vice-president, Greenville Lewis, Sec-
retary-Treasurer, C. J. Queen, Franklin
Sherman, and Benjamin Watkins. All
played on the undefeated football team
of '96. Lewis, now a Naval Personnel
Superintendent, was coach, captain, and
one of the all time greats at fullback.
Sherman, Professor of Entomology at
Ciemson, was the center-rush. Tackle
Heward is now a Philadelphia shellfish
wholesaler. Queen, a retired New York
police Lieutenant, played guard, and
Watkins, a life-long farmer, was at
halfback. The only class member to
play on this team and not in attend-
ance for the reunion was Halfback Bert
S. Nelligan.

Eleven Alive
Eleven members of the original class
of eighteen are still known to be alive.
Their favorite recollection concerns
painting a white horse red, white and
blue with paint acquired on a midnight
tour during the construction of the old
Engineering Building.

From these five came a challenge to
the University presented by "Journey"
Queen and endorsed by the others.
"Where is the initiative and pride we
had in '97? The personnel and stu-
dent body of the great University of
Maryland seem to have lost sight of
the college spirit of our day. Perhaps
the individual player and student has
forgotten his own importance. As an
exponent of state liberties and of the
freedom personified in this original
colony the University of Maryland
must continue to represent the prin-
ciples under which this great State
was chartered. It should be a leader
in athletics and in all events and
ideas of benefit to humanity. The
football team should be the para-
mount achievement in athletics. We
have a great student body, supported
by a great State, and there is little
reason for our not being a leader in
this commendable sport. Good active

OLD TIMERS VISIT CAMPUS

these four enthusiastic alumni attended Commencement Exercises last month.

President; Ben Watkins; Left to right, standing: Franklin Sherman, Charles J. Queen.

men and women are the key to our
future. My association with the vast
responsibility of police control in
New York City demonstrated how
vital good health, good sport, alert
minds, and above all the will to win
are to the security of the United
States. No man is finished until the
final call and no team is licked until
the final gun. Maryland has the man-
power and can easily develop the
pride, the will to conquer, and the
necessary fight which will guarantee
that no team will down the Universi-
ty of Maryland."

Trained Hand

Members of the team of '96 agreed
they made up in training what they
lacked in knowledge of the game. Each
morning during the training season the
men took a ten mile run. Any man who
smoked, drank coffee, or ate pie during
the training period or the playing s> a-
son was dropped from the squad. Also,
in those days smoking by a student
meant expulsion from Maryland Agri-
culture College. There were thirteen
men on the team and games were play-
ed on both Wednesday and Saturday of
each week. Each man played the full
sixty minutes or until he was carried
off the field.

The football field located near the
present site of the main flagpole was
four-fifths gravel. Every tackle meant
a loss of hide. The uniforms were per-
sonally owned, ragged and usually well
perfumed. Each man made his own

shoes and cleats.

Even these men were not without
superstition. Lewis obtained a new and
bright colored shirt for an important
game. M. A. C. was losing until team
members removed his shirt and re-
placed it with a ragged jersey. They
won the game.

Tackling Dummy

Lewis served as tackle dummy for
team members and those present for
the reunion recalled they received no
pleasure in bringing him to the gi-ound.
Sherman was noted for his ability to
get down the field after a quick kick
faster than the ends. His favorite recol-
lection was blocking and spilling a man
much heavier than he after which he
threw the ball carrier for a loss, Queen,
big and raw boned with little knowledge
of the game, became a main stay at
guard. Halfback Watkins preferred
jumping would-be tacklers and made
numerous spectacular runs. During a
game with the University of Baltimore,
Heward found the opposing line taller,
more mature, and forty pounds per man
heavier than himself. With a face badly
bruised and bleeding he told coach and
teammate Lewis he could take no more
punishment. Lewis suggested he grab
his opponent by the stomach and hold
on. This he did on every occasion and
the big tackle was taken out of every
play.

One of the outstanding games was
a win over Bethel Military Academy of
Virginia, 20 to 10. There were no

T,HE best story to come out of
World War II has a collegiate
angle and is worth repeating here.

Professor Thomas A. Simpson, teach-
ing English at a mid-western Univer-
sity, received a letter from the Navy
Department. Would he consider accept-
ing a commission as a Commander (spe-
cialist) for the teaching of English at
a pre-Flight class in North Carolina?
Yes, he would. So he accepted and in
due time bought his uniforms and
awaited orders.

The orders came, directing him to
report to the Boston Navy Yard. He
reported there and was rushed off to a
pier head where a nervous Lieutenant-
Commander asked, "Is this Commander
Simpson? We've been waiting, sir."
They tossed Commander Simpson on
board the ship. The ship shoved off.
The Commander promptly took seasick
and curled up in his bunk. All the way
to England. He learn-
ed, by golly, that he
was COMMANDING
that ship, Seasick all
the way to Boston, too.
When the ship pulled
into Boston there was a
red faced and irate
deep water Commander
pacing the dock. As
Commander Simpson
came down the gang-
plank the red faced pac-
ing Commander asked,
"Are you Commander
Thomas A. Simpson?"
"I am," replied the
worried and weary Pro-
fessor.

"Well," replied the
red faced Commander,
"So am I! Same name
and same initials. Now
if you think you made
a heluva mess of com-
manding my ship, wait
'til you arrive in North
Carolina and see what

I left of your

English class!"

Radio commentator Art Godfrey
slows our terrapin down to well below
the terp's normal leisurely gait. Sez
Art, sez he:

"Two terrapins were drinking beer
at a bar. One says, 'I've got to use the
phone. I'll be back in about five years.'
However, he was back in three years,
explaining, 'Another guy was using the
phone and I didn't want to wait.' "

A former GI, who had to do with
guarding German prisoners during the
tail end of the recent ruckus, tells us
that many of the German enlisted men
despised Hitler and referred to him as
'der Zwitter." The former GI stated he
was going to ask one of the profs in
German what that word meant. We
can tell him here. A "zwitter" is a guy
like when his pappa wanted a boy and
his mama wanted a girl they were both
satisfied.

Said a young thing to her mother,
"It isn't fair. At night you tell me I'm
too little to stay up, and in the morning
you say I'm too big to stay in bed,"

Snorky tells us that a guy ran an ad
in a Washington, D. C. paper like this:
"WANTED— Young man, V. M. I. grad-
uate or equivalent." A Maryland fellow
wrote, "As to equivalent, do you mean
two University of Virginia men or a
Maryland graduate on half time?"

An Iowa family with a summer cot-
tage in the Leach Lake region in Min-
nesota bought blueberries from an In-
dian for several years at 50 cents per
pail. This year he upped the price to
one dollar.

"Why?" asked the guy from Gowrie.

And the Indian replied: "Big war

Publisher, The Fraternity
Month, St. Paul, Minn., "We are us-
ing the May 1947 cover illustration of
Maryland on The Fraternity Month,
adding, "we have been very interested
in your lovely and well edited and de-
signed publication. In the early fall we
would like to feature the University of
Maryland as 'The University of the
Month.' "

In a letter to Dr. H. C. Byrd, Colonel
Melvin J. Maas, U.S.M.C.R., former
Congressman from Minnesota, now a
resident of Silver Spring, wrote, "As
the father of a former student at the
University of Maryland, I read regular-
ly and with great interest, Maryland
magazine. I have been tremendously
impressed by the professional qualities
of this publication, while retaining the
full spirit of an alumni magazine. I
enjoy it immensely and get considerable
educational value from its pages.

"I think it is such an unusual college
publication," Colonel Maas continued,
"that I could not refrain from telling
you of my admiration for it. While it
was my daughter who went to Mary-
land, I feel almost like an alumnus
myself."

"It is a pleasure to receive Mary-
land," writes Colonel Raymond Stone,
Jr., Headquarters, Antilles Department,
APO 851, c/o Postmaster, Miami, Fla.,
"a magazine with great possibilities
which I hope will be achieved."

"It must have taken a lot of worry
and trouble and concentrated applica-
tion to produce Maryland, a splen-
did publication," writes Mrs. Robert Al-
len Weir, the former Millicent Wright,
Home Economics, '44, 430 East 57

SCHOOL ASSOCIATIONS !

ORGANIZATIONAL steps are now
being taken to establish active
alumni associations for the six College
Park schools of Agriculture, Arts and
Science, Business and Public Adminis-
tration, Education, Engineering, and
Home Economics. The same is being
done for the Law School in Baltimore.
Dental, Medical, Nursing and Pharmacy
Associations are already well organized.
Steering committees have been in ses-
sion and are piecing together those fac-
tors essential to top notch Alumni
Associations. They have already out-
lined initial moves for drafting a con-
stitution and nomi-
nating officers for
election at School
alumni meetings on
November 1. The
; 4||^* Deans of the colleges
are working closely
with these alumni
committees, and all
former students of
each school are in-
vited to attend the
organizational meet-
ing of the school
from which they
nave Bri-ham graduated.

THE CROSSROAD!

The Board of Regents and President
Byrd set aside $30,000 for alumni activi-
ties which were sidetracked during the
war. These include the publication
Maryland, measures to obtain current
data about all alumni and the reorgani-
zation of alumni groups, clubs, and
classes. All efforts are designed to
arouse interest in alumni affairs. It is
now our turn to show our appreciation
for this action through a live organiza-
tion and through financial assistance
for alumni programs and projects. If
you enjoy Maryland, if you want a
strong alumni organization, and if you
desire the University of Maryland to
continue its outstanding progress you
will not hesitate to demonstrate your
interest through a contribution. It is
not possible for us to continue the
present pace without your help.

consumed by an alumni luncheon, the
West Virginia football game, alumni
open house with a buffet supper at a
central campus location, and the Home-
coming Ball from 8:00 P. M. to mid-
night.

OUR MAGAZINE!
For future issues of Maryland the
plan is to print feature articles from
all University schools both in Baltimore
and College Park rather than special
editions featuring one college in each
issue. Thus we shall present a balanced

all-Maryland publication. We also plan
to run as much news about alumni of
all schools as can possibly be obtained.
This necessitates cooperation of the
schools in submitting feature material
and the help of alumni in forwarding
news items about themselves and other
former students. We want Maryland
to please you and to contain the news
and information which you want to
hear.

HELP!

Send to the Alumni Office the name
and address of any former student not
now receiving Maryland.

If you have not submitted an Alumni
History Record please do so immediate-
ly and encourage others to do the same.
We cannot print the proposed Universi-
ty Alumni Directory until accurate in-
formation about a majority of the
former students is available.

Be sure to keep the magazine ad-
vised of any change of address. The
Post Office Department does not for-
ward second class mail matter. Note
your address as it appears on the cover
of the magazine. If the address is in
error or if any part of your name is
misspelled, advise us accordingly. There
is a coupon on page 39 for this purpose.

Some are receiving more than one
copy of the magazine. We are making
an effort to eliminate this duplication
but we need your help. If you are re-
ceiving more than one copy let us know
and give us the address to which the
magazine should be sent. Use the
coupon on page 47. We need the old
address to find your name in the geo-
graphical file. It would help to clip
and inclose the old address.

AIDS AND ORCHIDS!

On the adjacent page you will note
"Orchids" received from readers. These
individuals have expressed their ap-
preciation both by words of encourage-
ment and by a contribution to the
alumni fund. Is it possible for you to
ao as much? Below the "Orchids" there
is an item of interest to you. This con-
cerns the future of our magazine and
of our alumni program. It merits your
very careful consideration!

THE GREAT VALUE OF ATHLETICS

-DR. BYRD AS STUDENT; 2— AS GRID CAPTAIN IN 1907; FIRST YEAR AS COACH IN 1912; 4— AS ASSIS-
TANT TO PRESIDENT; 5— AS UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT

THE primary purpose of the Ameri-
can colleges and universities is
to educate and develop American youth.
Many theories are propounded as to
how this objective can best be reached.
However, one factor on which all seem
to agree is that competitive athletics
offer values to be found nowhere else.
On the athletic field, the young man
goes through a leavening process which,
in its democratic influences, is far-
reaching. Here the young man must
stand among his fellows and achieve
only on the basis of what he proves
himself able to do. It is the place where
the poor boy with better qualities, rises
to be the hero above the rich boy who
may be his competitor. There exists
here no class, no favoritism, no poli-
tical influence. On the athletic field, the
man receives honors for what he is able
to do, and for no other reason.

Barefoot Boy to President

It is the same democratic system that
has, in our free society, enabled a bare-
foot boy from a tow path to rise to the
presidency; a penniless immigrant to
rise to the head of a great industry.
Such an example of achievement on
one's own is worthy of a place in our
university life, even if no other value
were attached thereto.

But where does one find an opportuni-
ty for the development of leadership so
much as on the athletic field? Where in
college life is leadership so productive
as in football, where in months of gruel-
ing preparation, in which no quarter is
asked or given, men struggle to outdo
their fellows.

In football men must think or drop by
the wayside. They must have courage

or fail under hard physical punishment.
They must, at times, be able to rise
above their own limitations to become
inspired apostles. At the same time,

A MAN'S MAN

By Theodore Roosevelt

IN the battle of life it is not
the critic who counts; not the
man who points out how the
strong man stumbled, or where
the doer of a deed could have
done better. The credit belongs to
the man who is actually in the
arena; whose face is marred by
dust and sweat and blood; who
strives valiantly; who errs and
comes short again and again be-
cause there is no effort without
error and shortcoming; who
who does actually strive to do
the deeds; who knows the great
enthusiasm, the great devotions,
spends himself in a worthy cause;
who at the best knows in the end
the triumph of high achievement;
and who at the worst if he fails,
at least fails while daring greatly,
so that his place shall never be
with those cold timid souls who
knew neither victory nor defeat."

they must understand what it is to be
considerate of others, to lend a helping
hand, to worry together, each player a
cog in a great wheel. Mental alertness,
willingness to sacrifice personally to en-
able all to succeed are virtues that they
must have or must develop.

Men play football and engage in other
athletics, not because they receive pe-
cuniary reward, not because of scholar-
ships, but because they have within
them that competitive spirit which dif-
ferentiates between the aggressive
fighter and one who is content to take
things as they come. And in the de-
velopment of this aggressive fighting
spirit, is found the essence of most
human progress.

Men With Ideals

Men who have objectives, who have
ideals, and who are willing to get out
and fight for those objectives and ideals
are the men who have led the world
and mankind onward and upward to a
better life. They are the men on whom
the world must depend to solve its
problems. They are the men who are
the leaders of men.

Athletics exist on a well-organized
basis in the colleges and universities of
America, not because some of the alum-
ni want to see games played on Satur-
day afternoon, not to make a Roman
Holiday for the public, but because of
their inherent and potential values,
both for the men who participate and
for the universities that the teams rep-
resent.

The idea that successful athletic
teams bring students to a university is
groundless, but successful athletes do

[1]

bring to the university and develop in
its student body a high morale and
build up the will to do, the will to win,
in a way that by example, could not be
better shown. This will to win is the
essence of success in everything.

One of the greatest lessons that a
man must learn is earned more quickly,
on the athletic field than anywhere else,
namely, to overcome the fear of taking
a licking. He will learn in a boxing
ring a black eye is something to be
shaken off, to make sterner the deter-
mination to go on to a successful end.
Many men fall by the wayside because
of their fear of defeat. Such men
simply do not have that quality which
enables them to take a knockdown and
get up and go on.

Up Off of the Canvas

Last winter, in a Southern Confer-
ence boxing bout a University of Mary-
land chap was knocked down for a
count of eight in the first round. Most
of the 4,000 persons in the Ritchie Coli-
seum that night thought that bout was
lost. That chap, though, got up, hung
on throughout the first round, and
then came back in the two remaining
rounds to win his fight and the Con-
ference championship. Ed Rieder won a
boxing bout and a championship, but,
far more worthwhile, he learned the
invaluable lesson that a knockdown does
not mean defeat. That young man will
not dodge problems or difficulties as he
goes through life. He will meet and
overcome them. And the inspiration of
that lesson was not lost on the 4,000
others who saw the contest.

Loss Was Gain

Years ago, a young University of
Maryland halfback, in the closing sec-
onds of a game, dropped a punt, and
allowed a winning touchdown to be
made by the opposing team. In the
dressing room immediately after that
game, that halfback was sitting in the
corner alone, tears running down his
cheeks as if some catastrophe had over-
come him. The coach walked over and
said, "What's the matter?" The young
halfback replied, "I lost the game."
The coach looked at him for a moment
and observed, "You have lost nothing.
You have gained for yourself an oppor-
tunity to understand the difference be-
tween success and failure, to know that
failure means that a fellow is knocked
down and does not get up and go on,
that success is to the fellow who, after
being knocked down, has the courage to
get up and go on."

Some months after that, in the first
World War, a letter came to the coach
from the young halfback, written on the
back of an old sheet of paper and
sewed together with black thread. The
letter said, "I never knew until today,
sitting here in the mud and slime of

of these trenches, with death and de-
struction all around me, just what you
meant that day when you told me that
the difference between success and fail-
ure was the difference between the
fellow who was down and stayed down,
and the fellow who was down but got
up and went on." That same young
halfback today is one of Maryland's
most successful businessmen. The year
before last he paid the largest income
tax paid by any man in Maryland. He
plays a large part in civic work of all
kinds and is a courageous, splendid
citizen.

Of such stuff are athletes made.

Of such stuff is it necessary for
future leaders of the nation to be made.

Such are the values that athletics
give to the young men who are, in the
future, to guide our destinies as a
people and as a nation.

GRID UNIFORM NEAT

Maryland's football players will wear
natty but simple uniforms during the
1947 campaign.

The Old Liners will have two sets of
jersies, one black with gold numbers
and the other white with black numer-
als. The numbers you can be assured
will be large enough to be easily read-
able by the scribes and fans.

Tan pants, which, of course, will be
of high quality, will be worn.

ODK TAPS ATHLETES

Three athletes were tapped for Omi-
cron Delta Kappa (ODK) national
honorary fraternity, at ceremonies last
May. They were Ken Malone, Southern
Conference heavyweight boxing cham-
pion ; Don Shuerholz, basket ball ace,
and Eddie Matthews, Southern Confer-
ence quartermile champion in 1946.

EVANS NOW BENEDICT

Harold (Stuffy) Evans, left fielder
on the baseball team, took time out
during the season to wed Roberta E.
Morton, graduate nurse, of the Uni-
versity Health Infirmary. Evans who
came back after war service to get his
degree, had been a varsity regular in
1941 and 1942.

GRID TASK REVEALED

Maryland's hurculean task in foot-
ball this fall very definitely is told in
these few salient facts. The Old Liners'
ten foes won a total of 53 games, lost
25 and tied six last fall, four of them
figured in bowl games and four of the
five which again are being met gave
the Terps a licking in 1946.

North Carolina, which lost to Geor-
gia in a Sugar bowl thriller, was the
Southern Conference champ which
whipped us 33-0; Delaware, which has
won 31 straight, routed Rollins Col-
lege in the Cigar Bowl at Tampa; Vir-
ginia Tech, one outfit Maryland beat in
1946, lost to Cincinnati U., in the Sun
Bowl at El Paso, and a huge ray of
hope from the coaching standpoint
comes in the fact that Jim Tatum's
powerful Oklahoma U. outfit routed
N. C. State, conqueror of the Terps in
the Gator Bowl at Jacksonville by 3412.

Richmond U. and South Carolina
were other victors over Maryland in
1946 on which revenge will be sought,
while Delaware, Duke, West Virginia,
Vanderbilt and Duquesne, the last nam-
ed for the first time, complete the 1947
schedule.

As Maryland won only 3 of 9 games
last year for an average of .333. the
picture is made none the brighter by
the fact that our 1947 foes had a total
winning average of .679 in 194C with
the following records:

13,053 STADIUM SEATS

Byrd Stadium, revamped and refur-
bished, will seat 13,053 persons at foot-
ball games next fall. This is close to
2,000 more than could be accommodated
last year.

Nearly 8,000 of these seats are in the
permanent stands, an accurate count
showing there 4,221 seats in the steel,
wooden-seated structure on the East
side of the field and room for 2,728 in
the concrete stand on the west side.

A stand, with elevations, will provide
] ,008 chairs on the east side while boxes
en the west side will seat 1,036.

Bleacher stands at each end of the
gridiron will add a total of 4,060, 1,960
at the south end and 2,100 at the north
end.

Prices, tax included on all tickets,
will be $3 for the chairs and box seats,

DRISKILL GIVEN ATHLETIC REINS

New Leader is Near
Doctor's Degree in
Chinese History

WALTER S. DRISKILL, who
came to Maryland last Febru-
ary 1 as assistant football coach and
drifted into the job of athletic director,
is only several credit hours away from a
doctor's degree in Chinese history, and
along the way he has acquired that
Oriental calm and patience that is
needed in his new task. In fact, he
appears to have absorbed so much
Chinese that he emulates them in his
handwriting. Stenographers and type-
writers, though, easily can take care of
that problem.

A Million Details

Driskill, who was tossed into the job
of a "million" details with the best
wishes of Jim Tatum, head football
coach who arrived at College Park with
the title of athletic director also tacked
to his name, has found so much to do that
he is wondering if he'll be able to get
a little vacation before football practice
starts.

In addition to getting the new athletic
organization functioning as a strictly
separate unit at Maryland for the first
time in history, which means setting
up varied budgets, arranging for tick-
ets and their sale, supervising the mak-
ing of the schedules for various teams,
providing equipment, looking to the im-
provement and upkeep of the present
facilities and other things too numerous
to mention, he will share the responsi-
bilities of the construction of the new
stadium and field house that are plan-
ned to be ready for the 1948-49 term.

Job Covers Wide Scope

Tatum sure hit the nail on the head
when he opined, in shifting the detail
job, to his good friend by saying he
would have little time, if any, to coach
football if he stuck to both jobs. Dris-
kill could well envy the one-handed
paperhanger with the hives.

The scope and demands of Driskill's
job is told in his official title which is
Professor of Physical Education in
charge of intercollegiate and intra-
mural athletics. In announcing the
change in setup, President Byrd said :

"Driskill will be in authoritative
charge of all athletics. He will have
authority in regard to schedules, bud-
gets, personnel, and all matters relat-
ing to the conducting of athletics and
will be a member of the new athletic

WALTER

Mix-yland's affable Athletic Director

council. The one exception will be that
Tatum will continue to arrange his own
football games. The new athletic coun-
cil will be composed of a majority of
members of the faculty but probably
will have on it both alumni and student
representation. Driskill will be subject
only to the authority of the athletic
council and the president of the uni-
versity".

Graduate of Colorado U.

Driskill, a graduate of the Univer-
sity of Colorado in the class of 1936,
did a lot of studying in addition to
doing a good job at tackle for the foot-
ball team. He picked up his B.A. and
M.A. degrees in Chinese History and
got well on the road to his Ph.D. in
that intricate subject that he remained
in athletics as a coach.

His first job in sports was at his
alma mater where he was assistant

who belies the glum look in this picture

football coach and director of intra-
mural boxing from 1936-41. He was
assistant grid coach at the University of
Wyoming from April, 1941, until
March, 1942, when he entered the Uni-
ted States Navy and aided in the estab-
lishment and the conducting of the ath-
letic and academic programs in the
various preflight schools and other Na-
val training activities. It was in the
Navy jobs that he got a good lesson in
detail work that is standing him in good
stead now.

On U. S. S. Wasp

From October, 1943, until October,
1945, he was athletic director aboard
the U. S. S. Wasp, and also served as
First Lieutenant and damage control
officer. He was at the Navy preflight
school at Athens, Ga., as supervisor of
the sports program during the sum-
mer of 1945. In that fall he returned

Will Proceed Sanely
Driskill sees an opportunity as well
as a challenge in his new job. but, like
Tatum, doesn't expect to perform any
miracles. "We're not going to turn
things upside down or try to change in
five minutes what they've been 35 years
in building here at the University of
Maryland", he said in discussing his
new assignment.

Although he has absolutely no inten-
tion of trying to pressure football into
the State schools where it is not now
supported, Driskill is hoping more
school officials will realize the benefits
of the game and encourage its growth.
It is the dearth of football in the Mary-
land high schools that makes the grid-
iron task at Maryland so much more
difficult than it is elsewhere.

Driskill, his wife and young daughter
are living in a Bunt Watkins apartment
in College Heights, known to the older
graduates as "Cat Tail Hill".

TATUM IN EVEN BREAK

Jim Tatum, Maryland's head foot-
ball coach, has a 50-50 record against
the Old Liners. Maryland didn't play
North Carolina in football when Tatum
was a star tackle and baseball catcher
and outfielder there but they clashed
twice on the diamonds. He helped the
Tar Heel nine win at Chapel Hill in
1933 by 8-0 but was with a 7-5 loser
at College Park in 1935. A scheduled
game in 1934 was rained out.

DELAWARE DROPS TWO

Delaware U., which Maryland plays
at football on October 3 at College Park,
has declared two of its grid stars in-
eligible for signing with pro teams.
They are Fullback Paul Hart, who was
lured by the Los Angeles Dons, and

End Harold Thompson, who cast his
lot with the Chicago Rockets. Both are
in the class of 1948.

TATUM

More Material, Time
to Build Winner
Deelared Essential

WHILE James M.(Big Jim) Ta-
tum exemplified his intense in-
terest in football and bared his great
determination to build up the game at
College Park by relinquishing his ath-
letic directorship to Walter Driskill, he
also made it plain that he does not
expect to accomplish the task in a jiffy.
Tatum, although relieved of general
details, will continue to arrange his own
football schedules.

Tatum was firmly convinced, after
six weeks of winter and spring drills,
that the Old Liners will need consider-
ably more strength, especially in the
line, to make a creditable showing in
the tough ten-game 1947 schedule and
to start on the upward path in the grid
pastime. This was his reason for de-
siring to devote his supreme efforts to
the game and he clearly expressed his
sentiments when he turned the direct-
ing of other sports over to Driskill,
when he said :

Difficult Proposition

"Football at Maryland presents such
a difficult proposition and involves so
much work that it is not possible for me
to do a good job in that, the field in
which 1 am most interested, and at the
same time look after the details and
management of the sports. There is a
mammoth construction program in ath-
letic facilities underway at Maryland
and this also will need the athletic di-
rector's attention."

Sees Time as Essential

Tatum does not expect to perform
a miracle in 1947, he realizes fully that
time, and plenty of it, is essential to
building a sound football team and feels
that it will take four years, at least, to
accomplish the huge job.

"By 1950 we should have a team of
which Maryland can be proud, one
which truly can represent the univer-
sity", Tatum said, "but in the mean-
time we'll do our best to turn out a
good, interesting and scrappy eleven".

It would please Tatum no end, of
course, to develop a winner his first
season, for Jim doesn't like a loser any
more than any other coach, but he is
looking at the Maryland situation with-
out rose-colored glasses and with a
level head.

Tatum taught the split T during the
drills and intends to use that system

IT ALL HIS II I OH IN

JAMES M. (BIG JIM) TATUM AND "TESTUDO"

Head Football Coach fondles Maryland's Mascot

during the coming campaign, especially
since he was well satisfied with his two
top quarterbacks, Vic Turyn, regular
in 1946, and Joe Tucker, wno served in
a reserve role last year.

Wants Maryland Boys

During the six weeks of toil the
squad shrunk from 127 to about 70 and
Tatum got a pretty thorough picture of
his football debits and credits and that
is what inclined him toward the pessi-
mistic side. He found the very small
number of candidates from Maryland
high schools as the most discouraging
angle.

Tatum is used to having winners.
His head coaching efforts brought a
total of 23 victories, seven defeats and
two ties in three years, all in his first
seasons on the job. He won six, lost
two and tied two while tutoring the
North Carolina varsity in 1942 and
volunteered for Navy duty immediately
after the season. He took nine of 11
games while at the helm at Jackson-
ville Naval Air Station in 1945 and
last year he had an 8-3 record at
Oklahoma U., including the 34-13 tri-
umph over N. C. State in the Gator
Bowl.

Of great encouragement to Old Lin-
ers, although Tatum doesn't expect such

quick results at College Park, is the
vast impi'ovement that came each time
he took over a new team. North Caro-
lina had won only two out of 10 games
in 1941, Jacksonville NAS had a 3-4
record in 1944 ,and Oklahoma had only
split even in 10 contests in 1945 and
was shellacked by Oklahomas Aggies,
its deadly rivals, 47-0. And included in
his 8-3 mark for the Sooners last year
was an amazing 73-12 triumph over the
Aggies, the first in many years.

Eyed Job at Maryland

His ties at North Carolina in 1942
were by Fordham and Duke. His losses
at Oklahoma were to Army, 21-7;
Texas, 20-13, and Kansas, 16-13, on a
muddy field.

Before his varsity job at North Caro-
lina, his alma mater, Tatum was assis-
tant to Caid Snavely, present Tar Heel
mentor, at Cornell and Chapel Hill. He
was at Iowa Preflight School in 1943
where he helped the famous Don Faurot
and got his introduction to the split
T. He also was at Jacksonville NAS a
year before becoming head coach.

"It was while I was assistant at
North Carolina that I became tre-
mendously impressed with the possi-
bilities at Maryland", Tatum said.
"Then, too, I like being close home",

GEORGE BARCLAY

Assistant Football Coach

meaning near his birthplace of Mc-
Coll, S. C. and his alma mater. His
wife also is a North Carolinian. In
fact, the woods in the Carolinas are
full of Tatums. He has what is called
a millionaire family, Becky, a little
over 2 years old, and James M., Jr., who
was born last February.

But getting back to football, Tatum
opines, "Frankly, I don't know of a
team on our schedule we could beat at
present, but with the hustle and scrap
and willingness these boys showed in
the drills, I am hoping we'll catch
some of them napping and not lose too
many games. However, I am fearful
we'll need more than that to combat
the teams on our schedule."

While he found no Blanchards or
Davises among his backs in the practice
sessions, including Turyn and Tucker,
(two T's for the split T, incidentally),
he was pleased with two sets of ball

toters, but needs that added power in
the forward wall so that they may
function.

Shy of Line Strength

"We need much more and improved
line material and what we have will
need an awful lot of hard work," he
said. "I'd say we have just two or
three men who could make an opposing
team's line. That's discouraging and
what makes it more so is the average
age of our men. We'll average about
24 years and I am afraid at that age
they won't develop as they should since
many are just learning football. Re-
actions are not fast enough, especially
among the men up front and we have a
terrific lack of line speed which, in my
mind, is a lot more important than
weight."

Tatum earnestly is hoping that the
new fall class will produce some potent
talent, particularly for the up-front
jobs, and that the picture quickly will
become brighter than he is able to paint
it now.

But there is one thing the student,
alumni, and just plain Old Line follow-
ers may be assured of for 1947, the
Maryland team will play up to its
potentialities and offer sound and inter-
esting football. That should satisfac-
torily fill the gap until Tatum can mar-
shall his forces for better things.

ELDER JOINS STAFF

Houston Elder, latest to be added to
the Maryland football coaching staff —
(all the others had write-ups in pre-
vious alumni issues) is another com-
parative youngster, having had only
33 birthdays.

A native of Kentucky, Elder is a
1936 graduate of Murray State Teach-
ers College where he played the back-
field in approved style in 1933, 1934
and 1935. He was leading scorer all
three years in the Southern Inter col-
legiate Athletic Association and loop
all-star choice in the last two seasons.

He in turn coached Catlettsburg
(Ky.) High from 1936-40, Owensboro
(Ky.) High in 1941 and 1942 and Ports-
mouth, Ohio, High in 1943 and 1946.
Between his two years at Portsmouth,
Elder was in the Navy at Great Lakes.

Of the 107 games his high school
elevens played in nine years, the Elder
list shows 90 victories, 10 defeats and
7 ties.

Elder came to College Park direct
from his latest previous job of physi-
cal education director for the Bartow
«'Fla.) County schools.

HOUSTON ELDER

QUARTET OF WILSONS

There were four Wilsons, all home
state boys, on the 1947 spring sports
squads at Maryland, the track team
having two. They were Charley Wilson
from Bel Air and Edwin Wilson from
Rockville, both dash men; Ben Wilson
from Towson, a defense man on the
lacrosse ten, and Bob Wilson, an out-
fielder on the nine from Mardell-
Springs.

MANSKE AT CALIFORNIA

Edgar (Eggs) Manske, who helped
coach the 1946 Maryland eleven, has
gone to the University of California as
assistant to Lynn Waldorf, who shifted
to the West Coast after a long stay
at Northwestern. Manske played under
Waldorf at Northwestern and was ail-
American end in 1934.

FEHR QUITS FOOTBALL

Wally Fehr, president of the Student
Government Association, who played a
fine game of football at backfield and
guard for Maryland in 1945 and 1946,
has decided to forego the 1947 cam-
paign. He has a wife and three children
and with his family and student leader-
ship task will be able to keep busy.
He'll be a top rooter at the games.

VANDY PREVENTS SWEEP

Vanderbilt, which the Old Liners
battle at Nashville on November 22, in
1931 spoiled Maryland's nearest ap-
proach to an unbeaten season in modern
football by winning a wild game in
the Tennessee City, 39-12. It was a
much closer game than the score would
indicate, Maryland losing the ball sever-
al times on fumbles when near the
goal. That year Maryland w-on eight of
its other nine games and played a 6-6
tie with the powerful Kentucky eleven

•

that included the famous Shipwreck
Kelly. The Old Liners' victims included
Navy which was beaten 6-0, in Griffith
Stadium in Washington.

FACTS THAT FRIGHTEN

Comparisons of the past may mean
little, and we hope they do in this case.
but Maryland will have to do vastly
better against its football foes of 1947
than it did against them in other years
if it is to have anything approaching a
successful campaign.

The Old Liners have battled all of
their 1947 rivals in the past, except
Duquesne, and out of 85 contests have
won just 25, lost 51 and tied six for a
winning average of only .354.

Maryland leads only one team, Rich-
mond U., against which it has won
seven, lost four and tied two, and is
even with Virginia Tech at 12-all in a
series begun back in 1897 and which
has been almost continuous since 1919.
The Terps have blanks in four games

each with Duke, Vanderbilt and West
Virginia but have two deadlocks with
the last named.

The Old Liners other worst record
is against Delaware, from which only
one of eight games has been won. Six
of Delaware's victories, though, were
scored between 1899 and 1905, Curley
Byrd being a player on the Maryland
outfit that took a 13-0 defeat in the last
mentioned season.

Dr. Byrd, however, had a 50-50 mark
against Delaware in a coaching capa-
city. The Mudhens whipped his first
College Park team in 1912 but the Old
Liners got even in 1917 and they
haven't met since. That's exactly 30
years ago.

Maryland's past record against teams
it will play this fall follows :

GOBBLERS OLD RIVALS

Virginia Tech likely will "put on the
dog" when the Old Liners visit Blacks-
burg October 25 for the 25th meeting
between their football teams. The con-
test will mark their 50th anniversary of
their first clash in 1897, and the series
stands 12-all, Maryland winning last
year, 6-0, to get on even terms. The
Gobblers lead in total points, having
made 214 to the Old Liners 196. Neither
team ever has scored more than 24
points in any game.

[7]

Nine SUosd On, Jlittiruj,

DOES WELL DESPITE HANDICAP

LACK of batting power in a re-
building year kept the Old Line
baseball team, with Burt Shipley at
the helm for the 24th season, from
having a much better record than its
creditable 10 victories against 11 de-
feats during the 1947 schedule. A few
timely hits would have added a num-
ber of triumphs.

Four of Maryland's wins were scored
in seven Southern Conference games,
giving the Old Liners a tie for fourth
place in the loop, with Virginia Tech
as Clemson romped off with the title.
A game with the Gobblers that would
have broken the tie was rained out.

Dartmouth, Kings Point, West Vir-
ginia and George Washington twice
were among the nines beaten and one
of the defeats was a near-triumph over
Army at West Point. The Cadets, who
lost only to Navy during the entire sea-
son, nipped the Terps, 4-3 on two runs
in the ninth. Army was unbeaten
at the time.

Yale is Beaten, 3-2

The Old Liners took a trip north
after school was over to play four
games, but the tilts with Rutgers and
Dartmouth were prevented by rain. On
this jaunt Yale, Eastern Intercollegiate
League champion, was beaten. 3-2, and
5-3 loss suffered to Harvard.

Three infielders set the batting pace,
with Al Tuminski, second sacker, lead-
ing with .371 and Bob Keene, made
over from a pitcher to a first baseman,
right on his heels with .367. Ralph
Beach third sacker, was the only other
regular in the .300 class with .314. Al
Cesky, who came out late and played
in only a few games, batted an even
.300 Joe Andrus, ace outfielder and
usually a top clouter, could do no better
than .260 to top the rest. Keene, a
southpaw hurler and righthanded hit-
ter, also pitched a winning game.

Nick Panella, freshman pitcher, was
the workhorse on the mound and his
four wins against six losses do not do
him justice by any means. He pitched
the victory over Yale at New Haven
and lost several games he might easily
have won, including the Army tilt.
Sophs Harry Hughes and Joe Fitzpat-
rick each were credited with two wins
r.gainst a single defeat.

Enjoyed Early Success
With Outfielder Harold Evans the
only loss, all Shipley apparently needs
to have a winning nine in 1948 is a few
more lads who can lay the wood on the
horsehide.

Baseball, in which Shipley has played
big roles, really "beat the gun" at

until after the first official football team
came into being in 1892, the diamond
pastime enjoyed success during the sea-
son of 1888. This nine went to Anna-
polis and whipped St. John's in the
morning and Navy in the afternoon.

That Annapolis invasion apparently
satisfied for a while as the next men-
tion of baseball came in 1893 when a
team that would not have taken any
prizes for eligibility beat only Laurel
High School in a six game schedule.

Prof. Thomas H. Spence, vice-presi-
dent of the college, was first baseman
and captain; Prof. Henry Harrison and
H. M. Strickler, athletic director, were
two of the outfielders, and S. D. Bow-
man qualified for pitcher because he
handled the college mail. Others ap-
parently were less eligible and Catcher
Jack Davis took a half hour of spelling
each week that was taught by the ath-
letic director.

Captain in 1895

The late S. H Harding, who later be-
came District of Columbia engineer,
was captain and manager of the 1895
nine that won 7 of 8 games. He did his
bit with a .387 batting average.

Grenville Lewis, whom Curley Byrd
in an athletic publication in 1914, said
"perhaps was the greatest athlete ever
developed at Maryland Agricultural
College," was the leader in the next
couple of years. He played first base

H. BURTON SHIPLEY

Head Baseball Coach

on the nine and was an all-time back in
football.

Captures 21 of 22 Games

The nine continued along in good
fashion until baseball had its best rec-
ord in the history of the game at Col-
lege Park in 1901. The team lost its
opening tilt to Georgetown, which it
later defeated, and then won 21 straight
contests. An epidemic of scarlet fever
prevented a proposed Southern trip or
several more games would have been
played. Among the victims that sea-
son were V.M.I., Washington and Lee,
Virginia Tech, Western Maryland,
Washington College, and Gallaudet.

W. W. Cobey, father of Bill Cobey,
cashier at the University, was manager
that year and H. C. Whiteford, who
played third base, was captain. Cy
Nichols, shortstop of that team, who
went to the Philadelphia Athletics, was
rated the greatest in his position in
his time, died of pneumonia early in
his pro career. Others on that team
were J. Elgin, catcher; D. E. Brown
and F. C. Farrall, pitchers; A. R. Hirst,
first base; B. Elgin, second base; Fran-
cis Peters, right field; J. T. Hardisty,
center field and J. H. Gassaway, left
field. W. R. Mitchell and R. H. Loker
were reserves.

Curley Byrd who started out as an
outfielder in 1906, and finished as a
pitcher in 1907 and 1908, and Shipley,
who came on the scene in 1909 and
remained through 1914, were conspicu-
ous during this stretch. Byrd, who
took over the baseball coaching in 1913,
had Shipley as one of his players for
two years. Records were not so well
kept in those days but Maryland was
State champion most of the time.

Byrd Near Big-leaguer

Byrd became a minor loop pitcher
and was hurling for Sacramento in the
Pacific Coast League in 1910 when he
got homesick and came back to College
Park in the middle of the season. He
then gave up pro baseball entirely al-
though he had been bought for spring
delivery by the Chicago White Sox.
Ship, a six-letter winner in baseball
and captain three years, also played
minor league ball and managed Mar-
tinsburg to a Blue Ridge League pen-
nant in 1923. He piloted Salisbury in
the Eastern Shore loop in 1924 and
after that devoted his full time to col-
legiate coaching. Frank Hoffecker,
father of Tommy, the lacrosse goalie
and one of the Old Liners' best pitch-
ers, joined Shipley in 1911 and also
played under Byrd.

William G. (Country) Morris, an all-

around athlete, was another of the bul-
warks in this period, and Kenneth
Knode, later with the St. Louis Cardi-
nals, was captain and shortstop in
1915 and 1916. Catcher Dukey Mess
was another, the best receiver up to
this time.

Stellar Parade
Then stars came so thick and fast
that it is impossible to name them all.
They included two more Knodes, Bob
and Stuart; Todie Riggs, later a minor
league ace; Vic Keene, probably Mary-
land's greatest pitcher who was with
several big league clubs; Leiter Aitche-
son, who hurled on the same nines and
was a minor league star; Caleb (Zeke)
Bailey, now a Marine colonel, who still
is rated the Terps top catcher; Johnny
Eiseman. Johnny Moran, Rosy Pol-
lock, captain in 1923 and now in Japan;
Boots Groves, Eddie Semler, Kirk Bes-
ley, now head of the Prince Georges
Hospital; Pitcher Pete Schrider, also a
Marine colonel; Mike Stevens, who also

played in the minors; Herby Murray,
Ed Nishiser, Page Gardner, Miel Bur-
gee, Archie Spinney, Walter Troxell,
still another Marine colonel; Gordon
Kessler, Bob Burdette, and others too
numerous to mention carried on dur-
ing the next 20 years.

Shipley Relieves Byrd

In the meantime, Shipley had come
back to College Park to take over the
basket ball and baseball coaching jobs,
and relieved Byrd of the diamond task
in the 1924 season. He has had many
able performers and has enjoyed grati-
fying success.

Mentioning some of Shipley's greats
down the line we run across Burton
McGann, Fred Hetzel, Bob Gaylor, Jim
Demarco, Bozey Berger, later a big
leaguer; Shorty Chalmers, who was
among the best; Julie Radice, Jack
Batson, Wilfred Higgins, Curtis Mace,
Harry Milburn, Ralph Sterling, Willie
Wolfe, Hymie Gorman, Bob Maxwell,
Spencer Chase, Lloyd Jones, Ray Da-
vidson, Buckey and Bernie Buscher,
Steve Physioc, Ralph Ruble, Lyman
McAboy, Pete Chumbris, Willis Ben-
ner, Bob Love to name a few and bring
us through 1934. Some, of course,
played in later campaigns.

Pitcher Vic Willis, along with Char-
ley Keller, making his varsity debut;
Norwood Sothoron, Jack Stonebarker
and John Gormerly, were the shining
lights in 1935 and in several following
seasons and Keller, who hit .500 in 1935
and .499 in 1936, joined Newark for
which he prepped for the New York
Yankees, in the spring of 1937 and did
not play at all with the Terps. Mike
Surgent, Dale Patterson, Waverly
Wheeler, Bill Bryant, Fred Thomas and
Bill Guckeyson made their debut in
1936. Guckeyson played only one sea-
son, but the others played major roles
in following years.

Some Later Celebrities

Coming along later were such cele-
brities as Shorty and Cleo Chumbris,
Charley Weidinger, George Knepley,
Eddie Johnson, Earl Springer, killed in
the war, who was pitching for the Bal-
timore Orioles when he went into the
service, Newton Cox, Adam Bengoecece,
who later played Class A ball; Pershing
Mondorff, George Wood, Hugh Keller,
brother of Charley; Bob Burns, Wilmet
Steiner, Fritz Maisel, Sherry Robert-
son, now with the Washington Sena-
tors; Bill England, Burton Culver,
Mearle DuVall, Jim Wharton, Artie
and Charley Woodward, Frank Dwyer,

HOSPITALIZED

CKjrley Keller, the King Kong of the New
York Yankees, leading American League in
home runs and runs batted in, was operated
upon by Dr. Thomas Hoen, New York neuro-
logical surgeon, for an infected vertebral disk
in the spine. It is anticipated that Keller will
be O.K. for the world's series, if the Yanks win
the pennant. Big Charley is the particular
pride and joy of Coach Burton Shipley. All at
Maryland are pulling for Keller to be back in
the Yankee line-up.

Max Hunt, killed in the war; Roscoe
Whipp, Joe Hoopengardner, Kenny
Bransdorf, Harry Crouthamel, Harold
Evans, Hartley Crist and Louis Tier-
ney to bring us up to World War II.

To name all the deserving would take
a directory and we doubtless will be
redfaced often from being reminded of
those we left out.

Boothe and Evans came back to fin-
ish after the war, the former in 1946
and the latter during the past cam-
paign.

"HITCH" HURTS KELLER

Charley Keller, former Old Line base-
ball great from Frederick, and for
years an outfield and batting star for
the New York Yankees, "has a slight
hitch in his knee that makes him a
sucker for a low, inside fast ball". This
ir the conclusion of Bert Dunne, San
Francisco advertising man, who has
been labeled the swat doctor. Dunne,
who batted .519 at Notre Dame for a
record that still stands, and later played
for the New York Giants under Mc-
Graw, quit the game because of a
weak throwing arm. Now he gets his
baseball "fun" by diagnosing the weak
spots of noted hitters. Keller in his two
full seasons for Maryland, set a uni-
versity batting mark with .500 in 1935
and .499 in 1936. He left to join New-
ark, a Yankee farm, before the start
of the 1937 campaign.

MILLER'S THIRD IN FIVE TRIES

Harmony Rig Faetor

On Speedy Climb

BOXING, in which the present
coach, Col. Harvey L. (Heinie)
Miller, won seven of eight matches and
his third Southern Conference crown
this year in five tries in six seasons of
tutoring the Old Liners, climbed to a
top spot nationally in a short space of
time after being put on the sports list
at College Park in 1931.

Maryland's 1947 boxers, after losing
a heart-breaking duel to Virginia by
'6V2. -4V2 in the opener, took their next
seven matches, scoring over Bucknell,
West Point, Catholic U., South Caro-
lina, North Carolina, Kings Point and
U. S. Coast Guard Academy. Three of
the seven, though, were hard struggles,
West Point, C. U. and Coast Guard
each being whipped by a single point.

Andy Quattrocchi, freshman 130
pounder, who was kept out of the title
tourney because of a broken hand, was
top man of the team with five victories,
four of them by KO's or TKO's. Eddie
Rieder, 155, and Ken Malone, heavy,
who won S. C. titles, had 5-2-1 and 6-1-1
records, respectively. Maryland's other
12 points in the S. C. team win were
three each by runners-up Danny Smith,
135; Tommy Maloney, 145; Bob Greg-
son, 165, and Bob Hafer, 175.

Total scoring was: Maryland, 22;
Clemson, 19; South Carolina, 10; North
Carolina, 8, The Citadel, 5.

Counting dual meets, Southern Con-

initial gong twelve times during the
season.

All those mentioned and Dan Mc-
Laughlin and Davey Lewis, 125 pound-
ers, and John Albarano, 145, received

back since 1946, and Col John W. Har-
mony, a captain in the Department of
Military Science and Tactics at the
University at the time who tutored the
Terp ringmen in 1933-36 inclusive, were
the big guns in the flashy fistic advance.
No other coach except Bill Whipp who
bandied the first two teams in 1931
and 1932, was on hand more than one
season.

Harmony Did Good Job

Harmony did not produce a Southern
Conference team champion during his
four years but he put Maryland on the
winning path and his charges won 17
matches, lost only seven and fought
5 draws for an average of .708. He had
two individual loop titlist, Lightheavy
Stewart McCaw in 1934, Ivan Nedo-
matsky at 135 in 1935 and at 145 in
1936.

Miller had his top seasons in 1937,
1939 and 1947 when he had Conference
team champions. Nedomatsky won his
third S. C. title at 145 for Miller in
1937 while Tom Birmingham, 125, and
Ben Alperstein, 135, also took loop
honors and the last named went on to
garner the national crown. While Mil-

ler didn't have the stuff for a team title
in 1938, Ben Alperstein remained in
front with Conference and National
titles at 125 pounds.

in 1939 and the 15 points were sufficient
to bring home the Conference team
crown again.

Highlights from the time Miller went
into the service after the 1940 ring
campaign, were the winning by Herb
Gunther of the lightheavy Conference
title under Mike Lombardo, an alumnus
and former Terp boxer, in 1941, and
the capturing of the Eastern Inter-
collegiate honors in 1942 when Bobby
Goldstein, a product of Virginia, was
the coach. Invited as a "fill-in" team,
Maryland nosed out Syracuse, 15-13,
with five runners-up. They were Joe Ci-
cala, 120; Judson Lincoln, 127; Hotsy

TERPS BOXED IN 1911

While organized boxing and compe-
tition with other schools began at Mary-
land in 1931, the sport really started
at College Park as far back as 1911
when Harry Sheehy, known in the pro-
fessional ring as "Original Kid O'Sulli-
van," coached and held classes.

Sheehy, who then lived in Berwyn,
was one of fistiana's greatest light-
weights, meeting the best in the long
distance era of pugilism in the Nation.
Outstanding in his record was a win
over Battling Nelson, worlds light
weight champion. Sheehy, now 66 years
of age, resides in Washington and is in
excellent health. He boxed a twelve
round professional bout and won when
he was 42 years old.

He recalled recently that prominent
Maryland alumni were on the volunteer
squad he taught. "They would have
beaten other student teams had boxing
been in vogue in colleges in 1911,"
Sullivan said, adding, "I used to give
them five boxing lessons for three dol-
lars."

Officers of this club, which was men-
tioned in the year book, were Khistka
Mudd, president; A. B. Duckett, vice-
president, and N. L. Clark, secretary
treasurer.

CRONIN IN RING FEAT

Frank Cronin, Maryland '40, and now
a member of the physical education
staff and golf coach, had an unusual,
if not unique, record in boxing for the
Old Liners. Never having boxed before,
he came out for the squad in late No-
vember in 1938 and during the 1939
season won all his six bouts in dual
team matches and all the three needed
to gain the Southern Conference 155
pound crown. All were decisions, but he
was such a "ring natural" that he
never really took a punishing blow.

Cronin also holds two University
track records, 48.3 for the 440, which
he made in the Southern Conference
games at Durham in 1938, and 12 feet
4% inch in the pole vault, set in a dual
meet against Virginia Tech at Blacks-
burg in 1936.

STEWART, EXPERIENCED COACH

Clemson Grad Takes
Reins Shipley Held
For 24 Campaigns

ANEW regime in basket ball will be
started in the coming season
when Alfred L. (Flucee) Stewart, a
tall, husky and good natured guy with
plenty of background and experience in
sports, takes over the reins that Burton
Shipley dropped at the end of the 1946-
47 schedule.

Stewart, who came to Maryland from
his post as athletic director, football
and basket ball coach at Appalachian
Teachers College of Boone, N. C, had a
10-day look at some of the aspirants
the latter part of May but will not get
things going in full blast until October.

Three Better Men

The new mentor who used the double
pivot style of offense and the man-for-
man defense, will inherit three of last
season's regulars in Bill Brown, Johnny
Edwards and Vic Turyn, but he'll have
to wait awhile for the last named who
is a quarterback on the football team.

Brown was the leading scorer of the
1946-47 outfit, compiling 245 points in
23 regular games and in the first
round defeat in the Southern Confer-
ence tourney. Edwards gathered 205
points and Turyn 202 but Tommy Mont,
who finished his athletic career at
Maryland with the lacrosse season, was
second in line with 233. Don Schuer-
bolz, a clever little guard and ball
hawk, was the other regular tosser to
be lost. He registered 127 points but
his great value was in the defensive de-
partment. John Shumate, who was in
the graduating class, and Freshman
Eddie Waller, were the others to get
letters.

No Exception to Rule

Stewart, like most coaches, particu-
larly in basket ball these days, is said
to have his excitable moments when
things are going badly and may do a
little pacing and tearing of his hair on
occasions. These probably just are the
kind of characteristics of a redhead.

He is a graduate of Furman Univer-
sity in the class of 1932 and played

ALFRED (FLUCIE) STEWART

Head Basket Ball Coach

football, basket ball and baseball for
the Purple Hurricane. He remained at
Furman three years after graduating
to handle varsity basket ball and fresh-
man baseball. He went to Appalachian
for the first time in the fall of 1935 and
was there until after the 1940 basket
ball season.

He shifted to Tampa University as
athletic director and coach in the fall
of 1940 and held forth until after the
1941 football season. The following
March he went into the Navy as a
lieutenant (jg) and came out a lieuten-
ant commander on November 7, 1945.
He took part in the battle of Tarawa and
Saipan.

Returns to Appalachian

Stewart stepped right back into foot-
ball after leaving the Navy, helping
coach at Clemson during the fag end of
the 1945 campaign. He returned to Ap-
palachian in January 1946, and re-
sumed with football last fall and with
basket ball the past season. His grid
team won 6 out of 9 games and his
basketers took 18 out of 23 to win the
North State Conference crown.

Previously his Appalachian quints
had won the loop title in the 1938-39
and the 1939-40 seasons and had gone
to the national intercollegiate tourney
in Kansas City twice.

Shipley, a member of the class of
1914 at Old Maryland Agricultural
College, played a double role in basket
ball at his alma mater. He was a player
and captain in the spasmodic years it

was supported and became the coach in
the 1923-24 season when it was put on
a regular basis with the construction of
a gymnasium to give the game its first
real facilities. Before that time the
basketers had played in the "Y" Hut
and even in a church in Berwyn.

Farewell Five Does Well

His farewell team, lacking the caliber
of most of its rivals and being particu-
lary short in reserve strength, did bet-
ter than reasonably could have been
expected in winning 14 out of 23 regu-
lar season games. Highlights of the
Campaign were victories over Army
and Georgetown and an even break with
North Carolina and George Washing-
ton. Defeat of the Hoyas and the split
with Colonials gave the Old Liners the
mythical District of Columbia area
title.

During his 24 years at the helm,
Shipley's team won 243 games against
199 defeats, despite that he had several
squads that lacked altogether in top-
notch talent. His best seasons were in
1925 when 14 of 16 games were won,
a 27-24 loss being suffered to Stevens
and two games split with Virginia, and
in 1931 when he took 16 of 19 scheduled
tilts and whipped Louisiana State,
North Carolina, Georgia and Ken-
tucky to gain the Southern Conference
crown when the circuit included the
present Southeastern loop schools. His
quints failed to make the tourney grade
in only three seasons.

Developed Many Stars
Louis W. (Bozie) Berger was all-
America in 1931 and 1932 and Ed Ron-
kin, who helped gain the loop crown,
along with Berger, was a Southern Con-
ference selection.

Other Southern Conference choices
who played for Ship were Bernie Bus-
cher in 1936, George Knepply in 1938 and
1939, George DeWitt in 1939 and 1940
and Eddie Johnson, son of the immor-
tal Walter Johnson, in 1939. Despite
the fact that Maryland lost in the final in
1939, Knepply, Johnson and DeWitt were
placed on the all-tourney first team.

Basket ball was just about a hit-and-
miss affair until Shipley started his 24
season stretch. The game had just a
passing mention in 1897-1898, but no
team was listed until 1905 when it was
stated that losses were suffered at the
hands of the Washington Y. M. C. A.
and Carroll Institute. No mention of
games again was made until a quint
captained by Shipley lost 9 of 12 tilts
during the 1910-11 term.

Evidently another year was skipped

WILLIAM BROWN

Leading Basketball Scorer

but Shipley again was leading quints
in 1912-13 and 1913-14. William G.
(Country) Morris, one of Maryland's
best all-around athletes was on the
1912-13 outfit, and Les Bopst, now
State chemist, was one of the basketers
the next season. Curley Byrd tutored
these two teams and there is no record
of any more real competition until Ship-
ley took over in the fall of 1923.

GETS FIRST MEDAL

The first of the World War II Vic-
tory medals was presented to Colonel
Harvey L. Miller, U.S.M.C.R., of the
University of Maryland's faculty at
ceremonies in the Sylvan Theatre,
Washington, D. C. on July 19th, featur-
ing the D. C. Department Encampment
of the American Legion.

The medal was pinned on Colonel
Miller by General Wm. T. Clement,
U.S.M.C., Director of the Marine Corps
Reserve. Miller, in turn, then presented
medals to former members of the Fifth
Marine Reserve Battalion which he

organized and commanded. The Batta-
lion went on active duty in November
of 1940, thirteen months before Pearl
Harbor. Most of the battalion splashed
ashore in Guadalcanal.

This first presentation of the new
medals to Colonel Miller's old Marine
outfit was made possible due to the co-
operation of the War and Navy Depart-
ments and at the request of the Ameri-
can Legion.

BIG PLANS FOR SOCCER

Doyle Royal, who uses his spare time
from other university tasks to tutor
soccer in the fall and tennis in the
spring is mapping ambitious plans to
put the former pastime back on a big-
time schedule and hopes to have a pre-
tentious list of 1947 foes lined up, before
long.

After having its greatest season in
the history of the skin-kicking pastime
at Maryland in 1941, the game took a
wartime lapse until last fall when only
three contests were staged. Maryland
won two of them, losing a two -period
overtime clash to Johns Hopkins, 3-2,
before whitewashing Western Mary-
land, 2-0, and licking Salisbury Teach-
ers, 5-3.

Royal, who played inside right on
that classy 1941 aggregation that won
eight games, seven of them shutouts,
and played 1-1 and 0-0 ties with Temple
and Navy, two of the Nation's best,
believes that the 1947 team will be an-
other topnotcher.

In addition to the two deadlocks, the
1941 team blanked Virginia, Duke,
Gettysburg, Delaware, Franklin and
Marshall, Loyola and Hopkins and trim-
med Western Maryland, 3-1.

Bob Fatters, who was all-America
defenseman in 1946 and voted the top
man of the season, was the goalie on tne
famous soccer outfit, yielding just two
points in 10 games, the 1-1 tie with
Temple and the 3-1 defeat of the Green
Terrors.

Springfield College was the only
other unbeaten team in 1941 and it did
not play as tough a schedule as the
Old Liners.

Soccer history at Maryland is rather
meager, as it appears that the publica-
tions, even the campus ones, neglected
the sport badly in its early stages, but
it has been played a long time at
College Park and merits much more
attention than it has received. It was
revealed, though, that the 1938 Terps
were State champions who also blasted
a two year winning streak of Dela-
ware with a 3-1 shellacking.

Q^ieat (lu+inesi Galilei On

JIM KEHOE SHINES AS A Hi Oil

JAMES H. (Jim) KEHOE, the ami-
able gentleman from Bel Air, Md.,
who played such a lustrous role as a
member of the varsity track teams from
1938 through the 1940 seasons, bids fair
to carry on just as successfully as a
coach.

The nationally famed runner did all
right during the 1946-47 campaign, in
which his charges won four of five dual
meets, including a heard-earned and
prized triumph over Virginia, and
easily took the District A A U Champion-
ship with 52 points, more than all their
rivals scored. The Terps also were
third to North Carolina and Duke in
the Southern Conference games.

Frosh Help Set Pace

Jim, though, is giving a lot of credit
to Maynard (Pat) Redd, member of
the 1928 and 1932 Olympic teams, for
the showing of the Terps. Redd did a
tremendous job in coaching the field
events men and it a vast improvement
in this department, as well as the rapid
development of some of the runners
under Kehoe that brought such a grati-
fying record. The squad had the essen-
tial balance.

Two freshmen, Hurdler Mario Sal-
vanelli and Edward Augustus (Ike)
Eichorn, joined Eddie Matthews, 220
and 440 ace, and sprinter Howard Gugel
in setting the point-getting pace. Sal-
vanelli, who scored consistently in the
hurdles and ran on a mile relay four
that set a stadium record of 3:26, was
top scorer. He compiled 52% points,
just two more than Matthews counted.

Eichorn, though, was the surprise
package. The 6 foot 2 inch, 210 pound
GI rookie from Lonaconing, Md., was
late in joining the squad and never
had tossed the javelin before. He not
only won the title in this event in the
Southern Conference games with a
heave of 189 feet 4 inches but added
enough places in the shot discus to
garner 33 points in four meets. Gugel
also with 33 points, won both the 100
and 220 against William and Mary.

Stirling Kehoe Honored

Tom Develin, quarter and half miler,
one of two who will be lost, picked up
27 % points; Two-miler Bill Wisner
chalked up 26 1 ,->; Eddie Crandell, sprint-
er and jumper, gathered 25% ; Jim Urn-
barger, half miler, made 25, and Jim
Kurz and Jim Goodman, shot and discus
tossers, earned 23 and 22, respectively.

It was Matthews, Devlin and Charley
Wilson, another good quartermiler, who
joined with Salvanelli in setting the re-
lay mark.

Team Has Good Year
Anil Prospects For
Future Are Bright

Stirling Kehoe, who overcame the
handicap of carrying parts of German
bullets in his back, was the only other
senior on the squad. Although his com-
petition was limited he garnerd 18 points
as a half miler and miler, and this,
with his great running on the cross
country team, earned him the Maryland
Ring, offered by Charles L. Linhardt to
the Maryland man outstanding for the
year in athletics.

Another Kehoe

Lindy Kehoe, a yearling and another
brother of Coach Jim, picked up 19
points in the middle distances, and Herb
White, the peewee of the outfit, got
himself 17% as a two miler. Others to
get their letter were Lambert Anderson,
high jumper; Jack Hibbets, high and
broad jumper; Hank Boyer, sprinter,
and Don Weick, hurdler. As seniors
who were on the squad three years,
Stirling Kehoe and Develin got gold
awards.

Redd's hand in the strides in the
field events was forcibly shown in the
case of Freshman Jim Ewin. 5 foot 7
inch, 145 pound pole vaulter, who im-
proved steadily until he did 12 feet 3
inches in a triangular test with George-
town and Quantico Marines which Mary-
land won easily. This is only 1% inches

short of Frank Cronin's record made in
1936.

In addition to Virginia, dual clashes
were won from William and Mary and
V. M. I. by wide margins and a 50 1/3-
75 2/3 affair was lost to Navy at Ann-
apolis. This was the opening tilt of the
season and the Terps were much better
later.

Sport Started in 1897-98

But the teams of the future will have
to be good to match the feats some have
recorded since the sport first took a
toe-hold in 1897-1898 with William C.
Nesbitt as captain and J. A. E. Eyster
as manager. Eyster, '99, incidentally
became nationally famous as a physio-
logist. Their missionary work was car-
ried on in 1899 by Capt. Matthew H.
Gait and Manager J. Bernad Robb.

Apparently nothing of great conse-
quence happened during the next several
years. Dr. T. B. Symons, dean of the
College of Agriculture and director of
the Extension Service, was mentioned
as weight tosser in 1902, and then
Lt. S. B. Shaw, now retired from the
university staff and also living in Col-
lege Park, was manager in 1904. Then
Curley Byrd bobbed up as a gridder,
trackman and ball player in the fall of
1905 to make prep things merry for
three years, and on the same relay team
with him in 1908 was Dr. E. N. Cory,
State entomologist and member of the
Athletic Board.

Byrd, who later coached track, set
records that were not beaten until the
1924-25 season. He jointly held the 50
yard mark of 5.4 with Uriah Long,
the 100 at 10 seconds, the 220 at 22.6,
the 440 at .52 and the now extinct
standing broad jump at 9 feet 4 inches.

Relay Team is Unbeaten

In 1910 a relay team, composed of
Chester Adams, A. B. Duckett, J. C.
Morris and W. D. Munson, jumped into
the limelight. It won all its seven races,
including a mile affair against eight
other quartets in the Penn Relays. Its
rivals in the Philadelphia race included
City College of New York, Gettysburg,
Franklin and Marshall, Gallaudet and
St. John's.

Dr. William B. (Bill) Kemp, who also
was football captain that year, set a
mile record of 4:57 in 1912. He now is
director of the Experiment Station.

Some dual meets were held in the
early days but really did not come into
vogue until 1921. Relay teams, though,
apparently were maintained regularly
with individual entrants in various
affairs indoors and outdoors. Brooke

EDWARD AUGUSTUS (IKE) EICHHORN
Southern Conference Javelin Champion

(Untz) Brewer, the great football back
and kicker in 1916 and after the war;
Bill Grace and Tol Speer were among
the leaders in those days.

Then came a stretch starting in
1922 when Brewer was captain, when
such great runners as Henry (Gump)
Matthews, Lewis (Big Knocky)
Thomas, Charley and Ed Pugh, Dave
and Joe Endslow, Roger and Ham
Whiteford and Charley Compher, and
fields events men like Bill Supplee, Big-
Bill Beers and Hurdler Leroy Sheriff
stood out.

Byrd's Records Smashed

It was during the 1924-25 season that
remarkable strides were made in the
sport and all of Byrd's marks, except
for the 50, which Carl Widemeyer later
tied were wiped off the slate. There was
an epidemic of record smashing includ-
ing a 49.6 quarter mile by Joe Endslow,
the fastest run below the Mason and
Dixon Line at that time. It will be
seen, by referring to the university
record chart, that Matthews still shares
the 220 mark of 21.4 that he made in
1926.

A redhot relay team of that period
was composed of Ed Pugh, Sheriff,
Roger Whiteford and Joe Endslow and
it beat some of the best in the east and
north. Beers put the shot 49 feet 9
inches for a then record and Dr. Wil-
liam C. (Bill) Supplee, now professor
of chemistry and an Athletic Board
member, competed in as many of five
events — shot, discus, high jump, hurdles
and javelin for years. He scored 17
points in one meet in these competitions.

Quite a few of these fellows lasted
through the 1927 campaign and some
through 1928 when Matthews was cap-
tain, and Footballer Earl Zulick came
into the spotlight in the latter year

when he tossed the shot 46 feet 10 4/5
inches to win the Southern Conference
crown and establish a university re-
cord that still stands.

Kinnamon Wins at Penn

Bill Kinnamon, hurdler, who won the
440 yard timbertopping event in the
Penn Relays in 1930; Urban Linzey,
Southern indoor half mile champ, and
Bob Quin, sprinter, were the pacesetters
during the next two years.

Jess Krajcovic, a great football
guard, who hurled the shot and discus,
pole vaulted and high jumped; Ralph
Shure and Phil Cooper, distance men,
were top scorers in 1931. Krajcovic far
on to with nearly 90 points. Charley
Fouts, pole vaulter and high jumper;
Sprinter E. Quinn, who carried on for
three years; Hurdler Willard Piggot
and Runner Cornelius Cronin, were
prominent in 1932.

From that time until that memorable
1940 campaign, in which Coach Kehoe
was the leading figure, Maryland had
such famous runners as Widmyer, War-
ren Evans, Bob Archer, Bob and Milo
Sonen, Bill Thies, Frank Cronin, who
also was a pole vaulter; Coleman Head-
ley, Joe Ryan, Joe Murphy, Mason
Chronister, who was victim of the Japs
after Bataan ; Allie Miller, Vernon Mil-
ler, Gene Ochsnerieter, Tommy Fields,
Bob Condon, and those great hurdlers,
Bob Slye and Hermie Evans; Bill Guc-
keyson, who just about swept the dis-
cus, shot and javelin events in the two
years he competed ; Eddie Miller, high
jumper, little Bill Beers, broad jumper,
and Tiny Horn, shot putter and dis-
cus thrower. And it is a cinch we have
overlooked too many.

It will be noticed that most all of the
records, except tne 21.4 Matthews made
for the 220 in 1926 and that was tied

[15]

by Murphy in 1939, and Zulick's shot
put mark of 1928, have been hung up
by athletes on teams from 1934 through
1940. Only two have come since, Horn's
discus mark in 1942 and the Byrd Sta-
dium relay record this season. Widmyer,
who never was beaten in the 100 or 220
in a dual meet in his three years on
the varsity and who won Conference
titles in both, still jointly holds the
loop mark for the century of :09.8.

Upset the Dope

Warren Evans, Archer, Widmyer and
Headley upset the dope and thrilled the
Penn Relay fans when they won the
sprint medley race in 1935 over Colum-
bia, Pitt, Colgate and others in the fast
time of 3:38.8. In that race Widmyer
ran his 220 in 21.2.

And Vernon Miller, Kehoe, Ochsn-
reiter and Allie Miller still hold the
Conference relay mark of 3:18.6, which
they made at Chapel Hill, N. C, in 1939.
They broke a record of just a second
slower that was set by Archer, Head-

ley, Milo Sonen and Evans at the same
place in 1936.

While all the Terps mentioned helped
bring great glory to Maryland, includ-
ing triumphs in other national events
that space prevents recording, it was
the 1940 outfit, headed by Jim Kehoe,
Tommy Fields, Alan Miller, Joe Mur-
phy, Gene Ochsenreiter, Vernon Miller
and Bob Condon, that won three Penn
Relay crowns and just about cleaned up
the running events in the Conference
meet which reached the topmost pin-
nacle in track at College Park.

Shine in Penn Relays

This was the aggregation which took
the two mile, distance medley and four
mile titles at Philadelphia with only
six men doing the running. Kehoe and
Chronister ran in all three events, Alan
Miller was on the two mile and distance
medley teams and Fields ran on the
last named and in the four miles. Och-
senreiter filled out the two mile com-
bination and Condon completed the four
mile quartet.

In the Conference meet, in which
Maryland was nosed out by North Caro-
lina, Murphy won the 100 and 220, Mil-
ler took the 440 with Ochsenreiter
second, Kehoe annexed the 880 with
Chronister third and Ochsenreiter
fourth. Chronister captured the mile
followed by Kehoe and Fields and the
last named set a mark of 9:38.6 in
winning the two miles. The Terp team
of Alan Warfield, Kehoe, Ochsenreiter
and Alan Miller won the mile relay in
3:20.8. Miller also got fourth in the
220.

Kehoe won the national junior cham-
pionship in 1940 in 1:51.2 and outran
many of the Nation's best in indoor
meets in the north.

Fields Has Big Year

Fields, Murphy and Ochsenreiter also
were on the 1940-41 team and Tommy,
who won the Conference indoor mile
title and many other honors that sea-
son, topped the Terps in spring.

Stirling Kehoe in running and Horn
in the shot and discus were Maryland's
top scorers in 1942 and when track was
resumed in 1946 Matthews topped the
runners by a wide margin and Nick
Kozay, discus, shot and javelin, was
next in line. Matthews won both the
indoor and outdoor Conference 440
yards championships.

If there were any coaches before
Curley Byrd took charge in 1912-13
held forth through 1926, although the

their names were kept a secret. He
load was carried by Geary Eppley, '21,
now dean of men and director of student
welfare, during several of these years.
He turned the job fully over to Eppley
in 1926-27 and Swede kept things going
until Jim Kehoe became the mentor in
1946. It is noteworthy that all of the
university records, except Matthews
21.4 in the 220, were set while Eppley
was at the helm.

Epply once held the high jump re-
cord with the "magnificant" leap of 5
feet 7 inches in 1916, but Matthews
bettered this by three inches in 1925 as
Swede looked on, and it kept climbing
until Eddie Miller topped the bar at
6 feet 3% inches in 1937. Eppley also
pole vaulted 10 feet 6 inches.

MITE IS STAR RUNNER

Herb White from Forest High of
Baltimore, who ran the 2 miles in
good style for the Old Line track team,
was the smallest competitor at Mary-
land during the 1946-47 term. He is
just 5 feet 5% inches tall and scales
120 pounds. White, a sophmore also
ran on the cross country team.

FIRST TERP STAR

The first Terp track star was the
terrapin who, with the aid of a twin
brother at the finish line and the fact
that his opponent took a nap, beat out
the hare. Publicity on that was han-
dled by a fellow named Aesop. It was
before Bill Hottel's time.

HARRIERS STAGE COMERACK

CROSS Country, revived after a
hiatus since 1941, with Jim Kehoe
as tutor, had a great season, winning
four of five meets and finishing just a
point back of North Carolina for the
Southern Conference title at Chapel
Hill.

Navy, by 21-34, was the only team
to outrun the Old Liners, who scored
easily over Johns Hopkins, Virginia,
Georgetown and won a triangular test
with the Hoyas and the Quantico Ma-
rines.

Stirling Kehoe, Lindy Kehoe, Jim
Umbarger and Howard Umbarger
flashed home in a 4-way tie against
Hopkins and Georgetown. All except the
last named shared first place in the
triangular meet, and the Kehoes split
the honors against Virginia. Lindy was
third, Stirling fifth and Umbarger
seventh against Navy.

Others to share in the honors were
Arthur Berryman, Herb White and
Pete Hambleton.

Some Early Stars

Cross Country, with Dr. R. V. Truitt
as the early coach and Geary Eppley tak-
ing over later, flourished from the early
1920's until there was a break in 1931.
Among the early stars were Charley
Compher, W. C. Cracks, Al Petruska,
Carleton Newman, Julian Bowman,
John Gadd,, Horace Buckman, Bob Hill,
Al Myers, Walter Plumley, Urban Lin-
zey, Ralph Shure, Phil Copper, John
Duncan, Arthur Froeslich, Bob Rems-
burg, Sam McGlathery, Don Hammer-
lund and Cornelius Cronin.

In 1931 the Terps won 4 of 5 dual
meets and beat St. John's and Hopkins
for the State title at Annapolis. Virginia

was beaten rather consistenty and the
South Atlantic AAU title garnered
several years. Petruska gained unusual
distinction when he ran fourth to three
veteran distance runners in the Laurel-
to-Baltimore marathon in 1924. with
Froeslich eighth. Both were novices.

Jim Kehoe, Mason Chronister and
Joe Peaslee were on the team when
the sport was revived in 1937. Kehoe
and Chronister ran one, two in de-
feating Virginia and they finished third
and fourth in the Conference meet.
Tommy Fields, who started as fresh-
man in 1937, and Kehoe ran a dead heat
for first in licking Virginia and the
latter was second in the Conference
meet in 1938.

Finish as Triplets

Kehoe, Fields and Chronister ran
across the finish line with locked arms
each time in defeating Virginia and
Washington and in a triangular affair
and North Carolina and Navy in dual
tests in 1939. Kehoe and the team both
were second in the Conference race.

The Terps outran Virginia and
Washington and Lee in 1940 in sepa-
rate matches and lost to North Carolina
and Fields won the Conference indi-
vidual crown as the team was runner
up to North Carolina. Gene Ochsen-
reiter was fourth and Randall Cronin
fifth in the title race. Maryland doubt-
It ss lost the team title when Bob Cronin
became ill on the course.

Ochsenreiter, Condon, Stirling Kehoe,
Stanley Kihn and Judson Lincoln were
the leaders as the 1941 team outran
Duke and Georgetown, lost to Virginia
and North Carolina and got third in the
Conference.

DOG RUINS MATTHEWS

Dog trouble, not trouble with "his
dogs" ruined Ed Matthews' chance of
retaining his 440 yard title in the
Southern Conference track meet at Cha-
pel Hill on May 16-17.

Matthews was running in second
place in the race and was in a good
position to move ahead when a mongrel
took a dislike to him and, while Ed was
defending himself, the field swept past
him and he didn't even finish among
the first five point scorers.

And strange as it may seem, the
same thing happened again in the mile
relay in which Maryland finished sec-
ond to Duke. This time the mongrel
took only a pass at Matthews and
didn't interfere enough to have any
effect on the outcome of the event.

Some one suggested that the dog
must have been a friend of Neigborgall
of Duke, who not only won the quarter-
mile crown but ran anchor on the Blue
Devils relay quartet.

STIEBER IS PERENNIAL

Fred Stieber of Towson, who played
for Maryland in 1930 and 1931, is the
perennial star of lacrosse. Now at 38,
Fred apparently has just reached
his peak. He has been a member of the
powerful Mount Washington Club team
for years and it was his scintillating
and heady play on the night of June 4
that enabled the Mounts to whip Johns
Hopkins 6-5 and keep the Jays from
being open champs as well as unbeaten
collegiate titleholders. He scored the
pinch goal that tied it at 4-all and made
neat assists for three other points, one
of them the deciding marker.

Stieber, incidentally, is one of the

country's leading badminton players,
being Baltimore champion in singles,
men's doubles and mixed doubles, and
also is a ranking diver in the South
Atlantic section. He also played basket
ball at Maryland and has dabbled in the
game at times since. He is in business
in Towson.

Stieber, an attack man and teammate
of Al Heagy's in 1930, figured in two of
the greatest games Maryland ever
played. In 1930 the Old Liners beat
Hopkins, 6-0, for the only shutout the
Jays ever have suffered, and in 1931
was a party to an 8-6 upset licking of
the Baltimoreans in what has been
termed the epic game of lacrosse.

Fred, who played at 5 feet 10 inches
and 160 pounds, still looks and acts the
same as he c'.id 16 years ago. He was

the "life of the party" at Peck Auer's
lively prelude to the North-South game
on June 6 as he sipped his coca cola.
It was the night previous that Fred
had done his "dirty work" against Hop-
kins.

REISTERSTOWN'S GIFTS

Franklin High School of Reisterstown
provided two valued members of each to
the baseball and track squads at Mary-
land during the spring campaign.
Ralph Beach, an infielder, and Arthur
Bosley, a southpaw pitcher, were a big
help to Coach Burton Shipley of the
Terp nine, and George Fanshaw, a
quartermiler, and Arthur Berryman, a
half miler, added strength to Jim Ke-
hoe's track outfit. All are ex-service-
men. Berryman also was a harrier last
fall.

JACK GILMORE RETURNS

Jack Gilmore, Maryland's last four-
letter athlete, came back after war
service to complete work for his degree
during the 1946-47 term. Jack was a
football end, basket ball guard, South-
ern Conference high jump champion in
1941 and a clever 165-pound boxer dur-
ing his athletic years at College Park,
his final fling was in the ring during
the 1943 season. He was called into the
Army in February 1943 after gaining
four victories and a draw. He is now
an Inspector for the District of Colum-
bia Boxing Commission.

THEY'RE NEVER LICKED

WE think our readers will agree
that the lead article in this
issue, by Dr. H. C. Byrd, President of
the University of Maryland, is an out-
standingly excellent one, stressing the
true value of athletics only as a means
to an end, a part of the general plan
to turn out students well fitted to fight
life's battles.

Dr. Byrd's article recalls early days
in the naval service. There were some
officers who had no use at all for
athletics. They could not see the con-
nection between a happy, snappy ship
and athletic teams. However, they soon
learned !

There was the battleship Mississippi.
Her athletic teams swept the fleet. She
won the coveted "Iron Man", symbol of
athletic supremacy. That alone did not
make the Mississippi a better fighting-
ship. After all her mission was to hit
the target, to win battles. However, the
Mississippi, the athletic ship, invari-
ably won the target practice and battle
practice trophies. The athletic ship was
not only the happy, contented ship,
but she was also the efficient ship.

Earlier than that, away back at the
turn of the century, there was a tiny
gunboat in China waters, the U. S. S.
Wilmington. Just an old tub, built in
1897 with a U-shaped bottom. She was
a miserable thing, as ships go, and she'd
roll your innards out.

Acting singly on the Yangtze River,
away from the fleet, the Wilmington,
with less than 200 men, had athletic
teams. A five team baseball league, a
race boat crew, that rowed in a boat the
ship's company had to buy because only
the big ships rated race boats, a soccer
team, water polo team, track and field
team, an eight man boxing team, a
cracker jack rifle team.

When the Wilmington pulled into
Hongkong harbor a sport cartoonist in
the local paper presented a picture of
the ship showing a boxing glove pro-
truding from each port. When the big
fleet came into port a team was selected
from the Wilmington's five league
teams. The Willie's ball team won. Her
boxers dominated the picture in the Far
East for years. Her rifle team shot
rings around competition. Her race
boat crew challenged and defeated the
crews from large battleships.

In these days there were awards for
Fall Battle Practice and Spring Target
Practice. These two awards went in
various classes, battleships, cruisers,
gunboats, destroyers. For three long
years the Wilmington was the ONLY
ship in the Navy that had both the
spring and fall trophies in her class.

That little ship had an athletic letter
system. If you had taken part in five
winning 20 round bouts you wore a red
"W". The rifle team wore a yellow "W",
and so on for all sports.

A young midshipman named Claude
Banks Mayo inaugurated this letter
system. Years later, as a Commander,
he took the Navy's Olympic team to the
Olympic games. He'd cut his eye teeth
in sports on the old Wilmington.

One day the Wilmington pulled into

OLD TIMER

Most of the content of this Athletic issue of
MARYLAND was assembled by Bill Hottel, for
many years the Maryland campus' sports au-
thority and all around sports booster.

This is a sort of "Farewell to Sports" for
Uncle Bill, the grand old man of Maryland
sports publicity, as his new assignment is not
concerned with athletic publicity or sports re-
porting.

The data contained in this issue is made pos-
sible by the voluminous and accurate records
kept by Bill down through the years. He
knows his Terps and is probably the greatest
booster for Terrapin athletic teams.

A well known sports writer once said, "Bill
is the fairest booster for Maryland sports in the
whole Old Liners' set up. Bill don't care
WHAT the score is, just so Maryland wins!"

Down through the years Bill Hottel has been
a real wheel horse for Maryland sports pub-
licity and has contributed more toward Mary-
land sports publicity than can possibly be ap-
preciated. (H.L.M.)

Manila, after a horrific and miserable
trip from China. But before the ship
entered Manila proper she dropped into
Olingapo and cleaned up, fore and aft,
later steaming past the flagship, spic
and span, to drop anchor.

The next day was Sunday with the
crew already promised a couple of days
of shore leave. Came a message from
the flagship, "Wilmington will coal ship
tomorrow. Coal barges will be alongside
this evening". So the Captain, he was
Commander W. R. Rush, announced,
"We'll have shore liberty later. To-
morrow, beginning at 4:00 a. m. we'll
coal ship. All hands into the lighters."
So the Wilmington coaled. Working
like madmen they had the job done and
the ship washed down by 8:00 a. m.
Then the skipper sent a message to the
flagship, "Wilmington took on board
so and so many tons in so and so
many hours. What is the world's re-
cord for gunboats?"

Whatever the record was, the Wilming-
ton broke it. She broke that and other
Naval records because she was manned
by men who had learned their lessons
in sports.

As Dr. Byrd points out in his article,
such things are done by fellows who
get up off the deck when floored, who
have the stuff to stretch a single into a
double, who make one more try for
touchdown in that last quarter when
they're tired, done in and sick at
heart.

That sort of fellows are not licked
until they are licked in their hearts,
which means that they are never licked !

SPORTS YEAR NOT BAD

Although most Maryland Teams did
not measure up to the usual standard
of success in 1946-47, they finished on
the right side of the ledger in total and
provided almost enough thrills to off-
set the drab spots. Six of ten teams had
winning averages and in lacrosse and
baseball both were on the edge of .500
marks. Here are the bare figures, the
various pastimes being discussed in de-
tail in other articles :

COMES OCTOBER 3!

At the University of Maryland Oc-
tober 3, will bring the opening football
game at College Park. Similarly, all
over the country, college students —
boys and girls — aided and abetted by
enthusiatic alumni of all sizes, shapes
and ages, will turn out with never sub-
siding verve and enthusiasm.

Here at College Park "M" club vete-
rans of other years and past glory, like
retired fire horses snorting at the sound
of a bell, return to the scene of past
achievements to root for the grid war-
riors of '46.

It's all pep and enthusiasm.

Football, like other college sports,
has contributed much to American edu-
cation by providing the sound body for
the sound mind. It also has contri-
buted much for those whose privilege
it is to only watch the game.

No football fan ever forgets the
golden October afternoons when the
season opens. Surrounding countryside
aflame in woodland color. Confident, vi-
brant, cheering youth massed in the
bleachers. Sun a-glisten on band in-
struments, blaring the ancient tribal
call. Sound bounding and re-echoing
across the gridiron. Romance budding.
Chrysanthemums, pennants, ribbons.
Hero worship. A pervading tenseness
building up to the familiar thud of the
initial kickoff. There is enduring qual-
ity to the sights and sounds of a foot-
ball game.

Seme foreigners fail to fathom the
typical American enthusiasm for foot-
ball, as we fail to get a thrill out of
a bullfight. Its not just the alma mater
spirit that does it either, for the pro-
fessional game packs the ball parks
with the lure of the game itself, its
tactics and technique.

Dyed-in-the-wool football enthusiasts
get their first bite from the football bug
at high school and college contests.
From then on they're incurable. Nos-
talgic rememberances haunt them. In
the jungles of distant isles men try to
short wave to get the scores.

Nothing is more Yankee-Doodle-dan-
dy star-spangled-American than a foot-
ball game at which youth of all ages
let themselves go.

Nothing so retains youth. That is
why portly old grads seek so diligently
to hold on to their sophmore bleacher
ecstasy.

As a Runyonesque character from
Manhatten put it after witnessing what
he described as "the Yales playin' the
Harvards," "Gee, this could be built
up into a great racket if it wuzn't so
d clean!"

SWERVE

Since this is an athletic issue we can
possibly get away with our favorite
swerve story. Swerve originated in Bos-
ton. Other cities may call it double
talk but in Boston it is still called
"swerve".

At Annapolis some years ago, when
Navy played Boston College, a poor but
honest Navy file got a shot of "swerve"
and he hasn't figured it out yet.

The Navy file just had to leave the
stands for a few minutes. Returning to
catch up on the plays he had missed he
asked the beezark next to him for a re-
sume. The fellow was from Boston and
he unbent as follows:

"While you were out brenerizing the
ouaddis, Navy staged a murvent sprat-
tis that bondrave towad the Boston
conmartis. The play was the old spe-
min of the rossent with the rieberstoff
lagpaining the stramfin. It looked as
though it might ferbit the spauldins
and actually omitrad. However, Bos-
ton's halfback codesperled the framson
away from the escotart, working the
old drillspain toward the mercanthal.
That resperved the quobots who
smashed all the way back to the apper-
love with the beelmite set for the
grontlaub. But the fobanbren was not
so easy to ermot, the spemin out-
guessing the rossnot. So the whole
colemer galtigated. This all could have
been dismarted if we had fendered the
ertaba and gwelged them, being fulcare
not to drought their targets. We could
have wampfed to fwengle the mimbling-
er. That would have drawn in the
twetchels."

"Sir," asked the Navy file, meek,
humbled and bewildered, "what are
twetchels?"

COOK STAR OF TEH V MARKSMEN

ARTHUR E. COOK, JR.

National Junior Rifle Champion and All-
American team selection.

SHOOTING of some kind, we pre-
sume particularly "sniping", has
been going on at Maryland ever since
the institution was founded as Maryland
Agricultural College in 1856, but rifle
marksmanship never was as accurate
before as it was during the 1946-47
term.

In fact, nothing like it ever previously
happened in the college realm as the
undefeated Old Liners carried off the in-
dividual crown when Walter Bowling
hung up a 287 score and the team, of
which he was a member, also brought
home top honors with 1,408, both of
them records.

Members of the winning team were
Arthur Cook, junior national champion,
called the "best of the younger gener-
ation" by the National Rifle Association,
with 290; Emanuel Briguglio and Joe
Decker each with 280, and Jack Wesson
and Bowling with 279 apiece.

Team Has 1,419 Score

That 1,408, incidentally, was not
Maryland's best team score of the sea-
son, as an amazing 1,419 was compiled

Fights Off Hay Fever
To Win Junior Title
And Other Honors

in the defeat of the United States
Aggies by a wide margin.

Cook, along with Briguglio and Bow-
ling was picked on the Intercollegiate
all- America (Golden Bullet) rifle team
by the N.R.A., was high average man
on the Terp squad. He blasted a re-
markable 290.14 average as Maryland
won all its 21 shoulder-to-shoulder
matches. In all. the Old Liners defeat-
ed 105 teams during the campaign.
Decker, the only shooter to be lost.
Jack Wesson and Hilton Easter were
en the second All-America team.

COL. HARLAND GRISWOLD

Head Rifle Coach

Cook in one meet won si v shoulder
matches and smashed four world rec-
ords. These previously have been de-
tailed in "Maryland."

Cook in three matches shot the
startling score of 296, had one 293, two
292's, a 291, a 290 and several 289's.
One 296 was against Navy and another
in that 1,419 team score in which Deck-
er at 284 and Briguglio at 283 were next
in line.

Background is Hazy

As is some other Maryland sports,
the background of rifle shooting is rath-
er hazy. As said, we are sure it is an
old pastime at College Park, but the
first mention of it in a campus publi-
cation was in the 1912 "Reveille". This
listed a Rifle Club, of which E. R. Bur-
ner was president, H. S. Koehler, vice-
president and N. R. Warthen, secretary-

treasurer. Harvard, Princeton and
Pennsylvania were among 12 opponents
that year but no scores were given.

Greatest strides previous to 1946-47
were made when the then Maj. Frank
Ward (now colonel), who was a mem-
ber of the miltary staff, was at the helm
from 1934 through 1937. His 1937 out-
fit registered the first Old Line victory
ever scored over the Navy riflemen. It
was gained on the range at Annapolis.

Col. Ward, who was at College Park
recently on his way from China to take
up his latest assignment at Fort Ben-
ning, marveled at the scores of the Old
Liners. He previously had written Col.
Harland Griswold and his proteges a
letter of congratulations.

"We aimed constantly and energetic-
ally to reach the team score of 1,400
while I was at Maryland, but we just
couldn't make it," Col. Ward said.
Displays His Fortitude

It is not generaly known that young
Cook is badly afflicted with hay-fever
that at times nearly blinds him and had
to fight off this handicap at Camp Perry
last year when he won the junior
crown, finished tenth in the senior com-
petition, firing against many of the
best in the world. He also earned a
place on the U. S. International Dewar
team.

It is revealed by the N.R.A. that the
night before the U. S. team, of which
"Cookie" was a member, was to shoot
against Great Britain, Canada and New
Zealand, he suffered an attack of hay-
fever that made him completely blind in
his right eye — his shooting optic — but

Krouse Is Big Figure

Wrestling

Sully Was Star In
Sport He Now
Coaches For Terps

BIG William (Sully) Krouse, a tre-
mendous figure two ways in put-
ting wrestling on the map at Maryland,
hopes to have the pastime climb a few
rungs up the ladder of success in his
second year of coaching during the
1947-48 campaign.

Sully, who helped start the sport on a
collegiate basis at Maryland in 1940
and continued as one of its bulwarks in
1941, did all right in his first year of
tutoring, a rebuilding campaign, al-
though he was able to annex only two
of seven matches.

Krouse started from scratch last fall
but he is in much better position for
the coming campaign as most of his
last season's squad were freshmen.
Capt. Eddie Marsheck, defeated only
once in dual competition at 175 pounds,
leads the returning matmen. Among
many others he will have Harry Gam-
ble, winner of two straight at 136
pounds before being injured; Bob Tall,
victor in four out of five 155-pound
tilts, and Ed Gurny, Gamble's replace-
ment, who like Marsheck, was runner
up in the Southern Conference title
tourney.

Sully an Ace Matman

Sully, and it is needless to say he
was a heavyweight, won six of his
nine dual matches during the 1940 and
1941 campaigns and he helped the Old
Liners to a 6-1 record, the best ever, in
1940, and was runner-up for the South-
ern Conference heavy title in 1941.
These two teams were coached by Jim
(Deacon) Douglas, a former Purdue
star, while the 1942 outfit, the last be-
fore Sully took charge, was tutored by
Joe McDaniel, one of the many ace
products of the Oklahoma Aggies.

COOK, TARGET ACE

(Concluded from page 20)

for some strange reason his left eye
was perfectly normal. He fully intend-
ed to shoot in an unorthodox way but
the right eye cleared up during the
night and he fired an amazing 399 out
of a possible 400 the next morning to
share conspicuously in an American tri-
umph.

And "Cookie", who is at Camp Perry
again this summer, has three more
years on the Maryland rifle team.

WILLIAM (SULLY) KROUSE

Wrestling Coach when he was winning on mat for Old Liners

Paul McNeil, who played football and
wrestled for Maryland in the 1940 and
1941 seasons, now stands out as the Old
Liners' greatest matman by all odds.
McNeil, a handsome 175 pounder, cap-
tured all his bouts in dual meets in
these two seasons and capped his amaz-
ing string by taking the Southern Con-
ference crown in 1941. Including his
high school days, McNeil chalked up a
mark of 40 straight victories. He won
his Maryland grid letter as a lineman.
An Optimistic Fellow

Krouse doesn't expect to unearth an-
other McNeil but he naturally is an
optimistic soul and looks forward
eagerly to his task.

Maryland supported intramural
wrestling in 1938 and 1939 before giv-
ing its higher status in 1940 and the
Old Liners won the District of Colum-
bia AAU team title all these three years
and in 1941. McNeil and Krouse annex-
ed individual AAU championships all
four seasons.

Bob Searles, a valued member of the
1941 team, gave his life in the war as
a member of a submarine crew.

"When Maryland gets that new big
swimming pool do you think the ath-
letic program will include water polo?"

"No, the pool will not be THAT big,
with loom for all those horses?"

Britisher: "I say, old top, whom do
you fancy for the pennant?"

American: "The Yankees."

Britisher: "Naturally, but what
blooming club?"

HOW CURLEY WORKS

ington in 1936. The phone rings. Says

and the Middies, after edging out the
Terps, also took it on the chin from

Maryland, following a two-year war
lapse in the game from 1943 until 1946,
felt that it would take about three
years to catch up with Army and Navy,
which carried on during the war, but
didn't expect Princeton to get so tough
so soon and certainly never figured any
rival would have all that Hopkins now
possesses. It means that Maryland will
have to "get on the ball" to continue to
hold its head high in a pastime that has
become traditional at College Park.

This doesn't mean that the Old Liners
will have to go out and grab a horde of

Foes Superior in Assets
Princeton, Army, Johns Hopkins
simply had too many assets for Mary-
land, the last named being conceded to
have the greatest array of lacrosse ma-
terial ever assembled at one institution.
Hopkins, in fact, subscribed to this ap-
praisal in presenting two sets of highly
capable attack and defense men and
three sets of midfielders who ran the
tongues out of their rivals.

Princeton and Army couldn't really
approach Hopkins in material although
the latter sent the Jays into overtime
before succumbing, and West Point
gave the Baltimoreans a battle to the
finish. But Maryland and Navy were
the teams that sorely lacked reserves

lacrosse stars but it does mean they'll
have to muster a few and resort to the
oldtime success method of developing
some football and basket ball players
and others into ace stickmen. This
blend brought Maryland its most suc-
cessful years in the great Indian pas-
time and there appears no reason why
it shouldn't work again. Then, too,
only Tommy Mont, defenseman, and
Ray Grelecki, attack, of the 1947 team
will be lost.

Reserves Decide Issue

That Hopkins game, in which the
Jays ran up a record 15-6 count against
Maryland gave telling testimony of the
need and value of reserve strength.
Maryland outfought and outplayed
Hopkins until the intense heat and con-
stant pressure of ace players ran the
Old Liners into the ground. After 26
minutes Maryland was leading 3-1 but
the Old Liners then became exhausted,
yielded four goals in as many minutes
to trail 3-5 at intermission and never
again were in the running. It remind-
ed us of the Confederate soldier's defi-
nition of the outcome of the Civil War:
"We weren't licked, we were outnum-
bered."

Princeton had the strength to lead
Maryland all the way to win, 11-6; but
Army had to emulate Hopkins to a
lesser degree to get a 9-6 decision after
the Old Liners had led by 4-1 at inter-
mission and made it 5-1 early in the
second half.

[22;

Maryland played a swell game on a
cool night in Baltimore to hold Mount
Washington to an 8-5 score and had
easy times in defeating Harvard, 15-2;
Duke, 11-3; Loyola, 10-2, and Rutgers,
16-3.

So it can be assumed that with a
couple of weak spots in the starting
line-up plugged and a few able re-
serves, the Old Liners could have held
their own in any company.

Game Started in 1910

Rising slowly in lacrosse for more
than a dozen years after L. E. Powell
of Baltimore, now donor of a trophy to
the stickman who has rendered the
greatest service during the year, found-
ed the sport at College Park in 1910,
Maryland finally decided to bulwark
its stick forces with gridmen. This im-
petus was given in 1922 when M, M.
(Tater) Clark, a footballer, was cap-
tain and soon bore fruit. The 1923
team continued the upswing and Mary-
land really made itself a national fig-
ure in 1924 when Navy and Johns Hop-
kins were beat for the first time.

The Maryland-Navy battle that year
was a classic, the Old Liners winning a
grueling struggle in Washington, 5-3,
a contest that old timers still are say-
ing was the most rugged lacrosse game
ever played. It was Navy's first de-
feat in seven years. Hopkins later was
beaten, 3-1, and the Old Liners place
in the game was solidly established.
Jack Faber was a reserve player that
year.

That 1924 team (they used 12 men
then) was made up of Arthur Sleas-
man, goal; Ivan Marty, cover point;
Joe Burger, point; Jack McQuade first
defense; Tony Hough, second defense;
Mack Brewer, third defense; Ed Smith,
center; Taylor Rowe, third attack; T.
B. Maiden, second attack; Diddle Hei-
delbach, first attack Tubby Branner,
out home; Gomar Lewis, in home. That
murderous defense was all football hus-
kies except Marty. Marty and Lewis
were all-America choices.

And believe it or not, Emile Zale-
sak, proprietor of the Varsity Grill,
was a 150 pound reserve goalie on this
squad. He had been the regular net
tender in the previous seasons.

Dr. Truitt is Pioneer

Dr. R. V. Truitt, former professor of
Zoology and Agriculture, and now di-
rector of the Maryland Department of
Research and Education, who was one
of Powell's first players, became cap-
tain and coach in 1914 and was the
man who generated the pastime to the
high place it has attained. He took
time out to serve in World War I but
took over again in 1920 and remained at
the helm through 1927, although . he
was taken ill in midseason, and Faber,
captain that year, carried on for him.

JOHN RUPPERSBERGER

All-State lacrosse defense selection
who won the E. E. Powell trophy as
outstanding Maryland player of year.

Faber took over the reins in 1928 and
has been on the job ever since, pick-
ing up Al Heagy, his companion coach,
when the latter was graduated in 1930
after starring for three seasons and
becoming an all-America defense play-
er. Neither had played the game be-
fore matriculating at College Park.

They are striking examples of how
lacrosse talent can be developed and
scores of others could be pointed out.
The most notable, considering his lack
of athletic background, is Joe Deck-
man, who presented the lacrosse letters
at awards day on May 28. Just an
"Apple Knocker from Bel Air," as he
states it, he fought his way to an all-
America berth and probably had no
peer as a defense man in his last two
years with the Old Liners in 1930 and
1931.

Marty, Maryland '25, and] now a
dairy farmer at Cockeysville, Md., was
an all-time defense great who played
in the upswing years of 1921-24, and who
helped Faber coach in 1930 and 1931
until Heagy stepped up from tutoring
the freshmen.

Lead All Old Rivals

Despite what happened the past sea-
son, the Faber-Heagy regime still
holds an edge on all major foes and
almost complete supremacy over all
other opponents, Duke being the only
team outside of the "Big Six" to ever
defeat them. Here is their record
against the "Big Six", the "Big Five"
since St. John's dropped all athletics
in 1942:

Since the Wilson Wingate Memorial
national collegiate championship tro-
phy was inaugurated in 1936, Maryland
has earned the crown three times — the
first year, 1939 and 1940 and was joint
champion with Princeton in 1937. The
Old Liners also were runners-up in
1938 and 1943 and had no teams in
1944 and 1945.

Beats All College Foes

Possibly Maryland's greatest year
was in 1940 when it won all its ten
college games and lost only to powerful
Mount Washington Club in the first
contest of the season. Then it defeated
m order, Dartmouth, Harvard, Loyola,
Army, Rutgers, Penn State, Duke,
Princeton, Navy and Johns Hopkins,
scoring 96 points to its rivals 34.

This starting team was: Markland
Kelly goal; Leo Meuller, Bill Graham,
Milt Multiz, defense; Jack Mueller, Bill
Cole and Al Slesinger or Jim Heil, mid-
field, and Oscar Nevares, Jordan Sex-
ton, Bill Bond, attack. Slesinger also
played close attack when Heil was in
the game. Mulitz and Nevares were
Maryland.

Practically all the other teams that
have fostered the game in the United
States have been played by the Old
Liners at one time or the other —
Carlisle, one of the early bulwarks of
the sport; Syracuse, Yale, Cornell, Col-
gate, Lehigh, Stevens, Lafayette,
Drexel, Hobart, New York U., Penn,
Swarthmore, Virginia, Washington and
Lee, Georgia Tech, Randolph-Macon,
Washington College and Western
Maryland.

Besides Duke, Yale, in 1925, was the
only team outside of the "Big Six"
to defeat Maryland since it went big-
time.

LACROSSE IS SOARING

Lacrosse had its biggest year since
prewar days during 1947 as the game
and its support grew in leaps and
bounds.

Interest was at its highest pitch in
\ears as a number of schools, notably
Washington and Lee and Virginia in
this section, came back into the sport
with really good teams, and the turnout
of the fans was almost amazing.

Fully 10,000 saw Mount Washington
Club beat Hopkins, 6-5; over 8,000
watched Army lick Navy at Annapolis,
between five and six thousand saw
the Maryland-Hopkins tilt at College
Park the same day of the service classic,
and more than 5,000 paid to witness the
North rout the South, 15-3, in the an-
nual all-star game in Baltimore. Hop-
kins and Princeton also had a fullhouse
for their contest, an overtime game
that the Jays won on their way to the
national collegiate title. Navy and
Maryland also thrilled an Annapolis
throng with an extra period battle.

Princeton, for the first time, played
Maryland and other major foes in
historic Palmer Stadium, the game at-
tracted so much attention at Cornell
that it was moved to Schoellkopf Field,
previously reserved for football and
track, and got unusual support at other
places.

With Duke and Washington and Lee
in line, along with Maryland, more
Southern Conference schools may take
up the pastime, and a loop title series

is a possibility. Ohio State is aiming to
start the game and if the Buckeyes
come through the sport may be expec-
ted to catch fire in other Big Nine
camps.

In fact, the pastime appears definite-
ly on the road to becoming a really
national game.

AS TOLD BY DECKMAN

Here is an interesting item from
Joseph H. Deckman, Engineering '31,
former lacrosse ace and a redhot stick
game fan, and the pen of Lewis F.
Atchison, sports writer for the Wash-
ington Star:

Joe Deckman, who may coach
Maryland's freshman lacrosse
squad next year, vows this story
is true. It happened at Bel Air,
Md., hometown of Joe as well as
Maryland's famed Kehoe brothers.
Jim Kehoe, now Terp track coach,
was taken in tow by the town doctor,
who thought he saw the makings of
a good runner in the gangling
youngster. Jimmy was flat-footed
and walked on his heels, but the
doc fixed that by stuffing paper in
his shoes and putting him up on
his toes until it came naturally to
the boy and he developed the spring
that marked his collegiate work.

One day the doctor had a group
of Bel Air track hopefuls lined up
for a practice race.

"On your mark . . . get set . . ."
he intoned, when suddenly a
breathless youngster burst on the
scene with information that a
townswoman was ailing with a pain
in her side and calling for the doc-
tor.

"Which side?" asked the medi-
cine man, not even bothering to
lower the upraised pistol. It was
on the lower right side of the abdo-
men, the carrier informed him.
"She's got appendicitis, nothing
I can do for her," said the doctor.
"Tell them to take her to the
General Hospital. . . . On your
mark . . . get set ..."

LACROSSE ACES COACH

Bob Fetters, all-America defense man
in 1946, and Jack Hoyert, all-America
attack player in 1946, did a good job of
coaching their alma mater's lacrosse B
squad. Fetters is employed at the Naval
Ordnance Laboratory near Silver
Spring and Hoyert was taking graduate
work during the 1946-47 term.

TERPS IN RECORD TIE

Maryland's lacrosse team, as far as
is known, figured in the longest and
second longest collegiate games ever
staged.

What is the undisputed record-length
dual was a 5-5 deadlock between Mary-
land and Stevens on May 9, 1925, at
Hoboken, N. J., in which they battled
three extra 10 minute periods before
both teams, completely exhausted,
agreed to call it quits. The next ranking
engagement, as far as time was con-
cerned, was a 6-6 game with Navy at
Annapolis on a scorching May day in
1934 when, after 18 extra minutes of
battling, the old rivals were unanimous
in calling it a day.

In the game at Hoboken, Maryland
led 3-2 with a half minute to go when
Stevens tied it. They both scored in
the first extra period, Maryland count-
ing early and Stevens netting the ball
just as the whistle blew to avert de-
feat. Neither could count in the second
extra session but in the next period
Maryland again got an early goal only
to have Stevens match it in the last
15 seconds to again save its bacon.

Maryland and Navy were 5-all at the
end of regulation time and each scored
in the first extra period of 10 minutes.
Then they agreed to battle eight more
minutes and when neither scored in'
that time, and with the temperature
hovering around 100, there was no ar-
gument about halving the honors.

Incidentally, Jack Faber was one of
the attack men in the game with Ste-
vens, and becoming Old Line head coach
in 1928. he tutored the team at the
time of the stalemate with the Mid-
shipmen. Al Heagy, later all-America
and now defense coach of the Terps,
and then a sophomore first defense
player, was a starter in the Navy con-
test.

Leaders on the squad (it then was a
12-man game) that tied Stevens were:

Goal — Arthur Sleasman and Emile
Zalesak; Defense — Capt. Joe Burger.
Downey Osborn,John Hough, Edward
Allen and Kinsley McDonald; Center —
Ed Smith; Attack — Jack Faber, Buddy
Ensor, T. B. Marden, Bill Beatty and
Corner Lewis. Munroe (Money) Leaf,
who wrote "Ferdinand the Bull", was a
reserve on the team.

"Did you play in the football team
at college?"
"No."

"Did you play in the band?"
"No."
"Like hell you went to Notre Dame!"

GOLF HAS GREAT YEAR I'MIEK COACH CROM.\

TEAM THAT EARNED MARYLAND ITS BEST GOLF SEASON

Left to Right: Front Row — Jack Call, Bob Clark. Bill Cassedy and Reid Phippeny. Back Row — John Silverthorn,
Liebman, John Armacost and John Doe.

Bert Smiley, Leonard

GOLF, which went on the Maryland
sports list in 1940, took a firm
grip during the 1947 season, by far its
best. With Frank Cronin handling the
team, Old Liners captured six dual
matches, lost two and tied one, won
the Western Maryland invitation tour-
ney and finished second to Navy in the
State championship affair at Annapolis.
Only complete failure was in the South-
ern Conference title affair at Winston-
Salem, N. C, where the Terps were far
down the list.

With Leonard Liebman as the lone
prewar player on the squad, the Old
Liners lost only to Virginia and George
Washington, with which they gained
an even break in two matches, and
scored twice over V. M. I. and beat The
Citadel in their other dual affairs in
the Southern Conference. This gave a
4-1 loop standing.

Bill Cassedy and Liebman were the
only players left from 1946. This pair
with Bob Clark, Reid Phippeny, John

FRANK CRONIN

Golf Coach and Assistant in Boxing

Call and Bert Smiley played all of
Maryland's competitive golf.

Prince Georges Country Club, about
six miles from the university, was used
as Maryland's home course.

Cassedy, who shot a 69, two under
par, when Delaware was tied at New-
ark, turned in the best 18 hole round,
while Liebman had 72-75-147, to pace
the team to victory in the Western
Maryland tournament. Cassedy also
scored one of the season's upsets when
he whipped Bill Griffin, George Wash-
ington ace over the Kenwood course
while the Terps were getting revenge
for a previous licking.

Cronin is planning a more extensive
dual match schedule next spring and
the Old Liners doubtless again will take
part in the three tourneys in which
they figured during 1947.

Liebman and Smiley will be lost, but
the other four to gain awards will be
around next season and the chances are
some other apt club swingers will make
their appearance. Cronin hopes so.

A PURPLE HEART TENNIS SQUAD DOES WELL

DOYLE ROYAL'S 1947 tennis
squad, the second postwar outfit,
with most of the players wearing the
purple heart, chalked up seven victories
against five defeats, fully living up to its
potentialities. Included in the Terps tri-
umphs were wins over their neighbor-
ing rivals, George Washington, George-
town and Catholic University, which
earned them the mythical District of
Columbia area honors. Royal, with all
of his lettermen due back, of course
looks to better things in 1948.

While Royal's team this year was
marked by balance, rather than any
outstanding stars, Eddie Miller, who
played for the 1942 Terp freshmen,
and Eddie LaBerge of the 1946 squad,
were the mainstays.

Royal, who served overseas as an
Army lieutenant, was one of the big
guns of the 1941 and 1942 teams which
won a total of 15 matches, lost only
four and tied one. Rain halted Duke
and Maryland at 4-all in 1942.

Old Sport at Maryland

Tennis, which has been played at
Maryland for fully 50 years, was spas-
modic in its early days, it was learned

from reading the campus publication.
It was mentioned as being in its in-
fancy at College Park in 1898, but
nothing more was found about it until
1905 when a picture with no names
under it appeared in the year book.
Then there was another lapse of men-
tion until 1910 when still another pic-
ture, minus names, was published.

that year. Burton Ford, who lived in
College Park for years after graduating
was captain of the team for the next
three seasons, and it was during his
legime that outside competition was
started in 1914. Jim Shumate, now a
construction firm executive who lives
in Chevy Chase, also was a leader dur-
ing that period and was captain in 1917.
Shumate and Ford had some merry
battles for the top ranking spot.

Teams, which had their good and bad
years, continued to represent the school
annually from 1917 on but not until
Les Bopst, now State chemist, took
charge in 1933 and remained at the
helm through the 1940 season, did
Maryland really branch out in the
games. Bopst, a graduate in the class of
1916, played baseball in preference to

tennis while in college but later became
enamored of the net pastime.

Tennis Booms

Larry Phillips, No. 1 man and cap-
tain in 1924, was regarded as the best
tennis player ever to perform for the
Old Liners up to that time, although
Bob Haig, who led the 1921 outfit, was
rated highly. And probably the best
team until the Bopst reign was the 1926
combination, which won seven of nine
matches. It contained John Burns, play-
ing manager; Bill Weber, captain;
Egbert Tingley, now postmaster at Hy-
attsville who gave out the tennis let-
ters at awards day, May 28; Winship
Green; Joe Taw, Charley Shelton and
Nelson Sportswood.

Bopst didn't enjoy all banner seasons
but most of them were good and his
teams of 1938, 1939 and 1940, led by
Allie Ritzenberg and Nathan Askin,
gave Maryland the best stretch of ten-
nis in its history. This pair, occupying
the first two spots in the singles and
pairing in the doubles, paced the Old
Liners to 9-1, 7-3 and 8-1 records dur-
ing their three campaigns and carried
off the Southern Conference doubles
crown in 1939.

All in all, you could say that the net
results were okay.

WYRE WANTED TO BE M. D.

DUKE WYRE, MARYLAND TRAINER, AT WORK

Eddie Crandall, sprinter and broad jumper, is the "patient."

DUKE WYRE, who joined the Mary-
land staff after nearly 15 years as
assistant at Yale, including time taken
out for war service, is the Old Liner's
first really full-time trainer. He has
been on the job since April 8 and every-
one concerned is happy.

Wyre fully intended to be a doctor
but circumstances intervened and he
chose what he felt was the next most
desirable and interesting profession for
him.

Wyre, a native of New Haven, lost
his parents in his youth and after
graduating from Hillhouse High School
of that city in 1925, went to work.
Always fond of athletics, he saw an
opportunity ss a trainer to combine a
knowledge of medicine with sports and
since that decision has devoted all his
time and study to the development of
his chosen line.

Too Light for Football

Only a 135-pounder while in high
school, Wyre indulged in three sports —
baseball, football and basket ball, with
the last named as his leading pastime.
His size held down his football efforts,
although his top interest was in that
game.

He started his work at Yale in 1933
and, in addition to his regular duties
there, took special courses in the Yale
Medical School and Department of
Health and at the New Haven Hospital.
Wyre worked and studied with J. H.
Kiphuth, Yale's director of physical
education and swimming coach, who
now also is director of athletics, study-
ing all phases of conditioning and ex-
ercises. He also took summer courses
at a hospital and physical education
schools.

Wyre has been an instructor in the
American Red Cross for about 17 years,
has taught courses in prevention and
care of athletic injuries at coaching
clinics and has published a number of
articles on these subjects and on con-
ditioning.

In Navy Three Years
He was on leave from Yale to serve
in th? Navy for three years. He was
graduated from the Physical Instruc-
tors' School (USN) and the Navy Phy-
sical Rehabilitation School and the last
year and a half he was in the service
was in the Navy Rehabilitation pro-
gram at Chelsea (Mass.) Navy Hospi-
tal.

Wyre's final assignment for Yale was
to take the Eli rugby team to Ber-
muda for a series of matches. His
charges went to the championship
round where they were beaten in the
last minute of play by a penalty kick.

GEORGE BOHLER

Facilities Manager

BOHLER IN NEW JOB

Affable Maj. George M. Bohler, who at
various times has been trainer and
equipment manager and lastly super-
visor of athletic facilities, will devote
all his time in the future to the last
named job.

He will have plenty to do now, with
tennis courts one of his problems, and
his duties will about double with the
building of the new stadium and field
house.

Bohler, who recently retired as a
lieutenant colonel after 30 years in the
Army, was at College Park in 1942 as
an assistant in the Military Department
and in charge of equipment. He re-
turned last fall after varied wartime
duties, to serve in the double job as
equipment manager and trainer.

He is graduate of Washington State
College and his brother, J. Fred Bohler.
is athletic director there.

A boxing bout had gone eight rounds.
In every round Kid Piano was on the
floor. On his neck, on his back, on his

During all that time his seconds gave

jou've been boxing him clever long

Heard in the corridor: "For a nickle
I'd punch you right on the nose!"

"Yeh, for a nickle you would. You

"Who's game?" asked the guy who
had just sort of wandered into Byrd

"I am," replied the shy young thing

The Old Sport is the guy who insists
that heritage is the thing; that blood
will tell. He proves it by the tale of a
mare named "Dream o' Dawn."

"Yezzir," sez the old sport, "yezzir.
Dream o' Dawn proved it. 'Twas at

like a shot, had the race in the satchel

ahead it would take $9.00 to send her a

she halts and gives birth to a colt,
right there on the track. But she goes
on from there and wins the race any-
how!"

"Gee, whillikins!" exclaimed a wide
eyed, hapless, hopeless Johnny-come-
Lately, "what became of the colt?"

"Son," explained Old Sport, "they
put the little shaver in as an added

"Are you one of Tatum's O's or one of his

Middle of the third quarter, Navy vs
Notre Dame, at the request of the
Navy center, time was called. The Navy
man said, "Look here, Mr. Referee, I
don't like to gripe, but every time we
tangle that big Irish center bites me."

Snapped the referee, "Play him only
on Fridays!"

This one should amuse all loyal fol-
lowers of the Terrapin and, in best
Jerseyese might be called "The Verce
of the Toitle." When Jim Braddock won
the world's heavyweight boxing cham-
pionship from Max Baer he phoned Mrs.
Braddock, who had and has never seen
Jim box, "Mom, keep the kids up. Tell
them I'm bringing home the title!"
That meant no more dock work. No
more relief. Easy Street for the kids.
So when Jim triumphantly swung open
the door in his Jersey home he shouted,
"I'm heavyweight champion of the
world!" But his two kids began to sob.
Jim couldn't understand that until the
kids whimpered, "Pop, but where is
the toitle?"

At a boxing show one of the con-
testants was a futile flutterbug hitter.
He punched with no authority at all;
finally a ringside stentor let forth with,
"Hit 'm now! You got the wind wit'
ye'!"

In order to kick a goal in life, you
must have one.

"Does the coach work out all these
plays at a blackboard with chalk?"

"Yes, except for games on rainy days.
Then he works them out on canvas
after dipping his finger in gravy."

Which recalls that when Jack Demp-
sey was nailing the daylights out of
Jess Willard at Toledo a guy yelled,
"Jess, you're wanted on the phone!"

There is the story of the Iowa foot-
ball team that had three colored boys
in the line-up. They were playing an-
other mid-Western team on which a
big Swedish lad was carrying the ball.

He tried a plunge off left tackle and,
bingo, was set back with his head left
spinning. He looked up and there stood
a gigantic colored boy, ivory teeth re-
splendent in a wide grin.

He tried the other side of the line
and, whacko, he got it again, from an-
other dusky linesman.

"I'll try an end run," thought the
Swedish lad and here he was knocked
over to look up and see a tall tan
fellow standing over him.

"I'll try the other end," figured Ole
and this time he was brought down by
a Swedish counterpart, a big yellow
haired white lad.

Ole got up, extended his hand, say-
ing, "Doctor Livingston, I presume!"

Speed demon, "We must be getting
near College Park. I just knocked over
three pedestrians with "M" on their
sweaters."

One of the young men on the boxing
team was describing a tremendous shel-
lacking incurred by a certain pro in a
Baltimore ring. "By gosh," said the
Terp, "when he went home that night
his loving mother mistook him for a
totem pole." Which recalls the fellow
who left the roped arena with a mouse
over his eye and his hand over the
mouse. For days all his friends called
him "Alladin," on account of his won-
derful lamp.

In the good old days when athletes
were carried along regardless of studies
a certain college further North had a
star player who was enrolled at a near-
by grammar school. He studied there
but played for the Big U team. One
afternoon the players were discussing
their difficulties with a calculus exam
and the boy who could lug that old
ball chirped in his two cents worth
with, "All math is tough. That long
division is no bargain either."

"When I was a boy," the old timer
said, "I used to like to watch the base
drummer in the band. Now I like to
watch the girl cheer leaders turn cart
wheels."

"The referee for today's game is at
the gate with two friends. Shall I
pass them in?" inquired |the gate-
keeper.

"A referee with two friends!" gasp-
ed the coach. "Sure! Let 'im in!"

KILROY'S HERE

"Well, he says he'll take orders only from a
top sergeant.**

"Hi, coach!"

"Hi! Weren't you told not to drink
while in training?"

"What makes you think I've been
drinking, coach?"

"I'm not the coach."

College Coach: "Come on, snap it up,
you guys. You're playing like a bunch
of amateurs."

Behold the great pro rassler,
Behold his mighty hands,
Behold his straining muscles
As taut as iron bands,
His arching chest is solid
As a co-ed's loaf of bread,
And yet his arching chest is not
As solid as his head.

"He beat her to death with a mashie-

Drunk: "Hey, pal, do me a favor.
Is the sun going down, or the moon
coming up?"

Other Drunk: "Shorry, buddy, can't
tell you. I'm a stranger in town my-
self."

Plain case of bottle fatigue.

STICK FEUD WITH JAYS IS HOT

OLD LINERS GIVE JAYS FREE HAIR CUTS

One of by-products of Maryland-Johns Hopkins lacrosse feud. Both the "barbers" and their vic-
time gave fictitious names.

structible Terp mascot for
Maryland athletics, which most of the
time sits peacefully and undisturbed on
his throne in front of Ritchie Coliseum,
again rests there after being the prin-
cipal in another sports feud, this time
as a prelude to the Old Line-Johns
Hopkins lacrosse game that was played
at College Park on May 24. While
victory in the battle of wits, paint
brushes, hair-cutting and a good
sprinkling of most rugged hostilities,
was claimed by both sides, the stick
struggle — told about elsewhere — we'll
have to admit deservedly was won by
the Blue Jays.

Traveling to Baltimore and back,
however, was just another trip for
"Testudo", who at intervals has been
the cause of warfare between Maryland
students and those of Georgetown, Wes-
tern Maryland and Hopkins ever since
he took his place in front of Ritchie
Coliseum during commencement week in
1933, the gift of the Senior Class of
that year of which George Weber, an
engineering graduate and now business

manager of the Maintenance Depart-
ment, was president.

Stage Three-Day Battle

After the three-day pre-game battle
had surged back and forth between
the two campuses and "Testudo" had
been hidden for a time in the "wilds of
Hopkins", he and some of the students
of both schools who had been jailed on
Friday night, were at College Park in
time for the clash in Byrd Stadium.
"Testudo" had been brought home
shortly after noon in an official Johns
Hopkins truck, but precaution had been
taken in covering up the name on the
vehicles with long strips of heavy pa-
cer. "Testudo" hastily was replaced, as
Dan Wiseman, popular campus police-
man, stood guard and the returnee then
hurriedly stepped on the gas. All that
was needed to make "Testudo" as good
as ever was a bath to remove Hopkins'
blue and white colors and the letter H
from his anatomy and that was accom-
plished quickly by Old Line students.

It all started when some Old Liners
secretly visited the Jays campus on
Thursday night and painted the side-

Paint Daubing, Hair
Trimming Battles
Precede Contest

walks with Maryland colors of black
and gold and slogans declaring "Mary-
land will beat Hopkins".

Although no one saw the painters at
work, Hopkins students found the signs
after an anonymous telephone call tell-
ing them to "look around". With
bloody revenge in their eyes, a caval-
cade of Hopkins lads counter-attacked
early Friday morning. Paint flowed
freely again and during the melee some
members of the Blue Jays "suicide
squad" swiped "Testudo".

Terps Become Barbers

But the Jays didn't get away Scot
free by any means. Marylanders jump-
ed into cars and caught about 25 of
the Hopkins task force on the boulevard
near Laurel. They hustled them back
to College Park and shaved what was
intended to be a big "M" on some of
their pates but it hardly could be called
an artistic job. Later they put their
captives to work with tooth brushes
scrubbing paint from Maryland build-
ings and walks under a red hot sun.

But the whereabouts of "Testudo"
still was a mystery. So in the wee hours
of Saturday morning a battalion of
Terps took off in a motorcade to Balti-
more to retrieve him. When they ar-
rived at Hopkins the fun really began
and before all of the Terps got back
home a few had suffered the same type
of haircut that had been inflicted on
the Jays.

Hopkins had posted scouts as far
south as Washington boulevard. Mary-
land students found they were not un-
expected and some 200 policemen, with-
out using unreasonable force, were
needed to curb the battle. The Terps
passed up one dormitory entrance which
had been barricaded with barbed wire
and were met with a fire hose at an-
other. Battling their way into the dor-
mitory, they found themselves sliver-
ing and slipping. The floor had been
covered with soap chips and wetted
down. "We shoulda had bananas," one
Hopkins field general lamented.

Is Show Worth Watching

Inside and outside the dormitories,
the air was filled with flying missiles.
Residents of nearby apartments and
houses, attracted by the din, came out
in their pajamas or leaned out of
windows. It was a show worth watch-
ing.

[30]

Only eleven students, eight from Col-
lege Park and three from Hopkins, were
grabbed by the cops during the fracas,
but a sympathetic judge let them go
later in the morning. In all the battle
for the return of the Terp lasted about
and hour and a half. By that time the
Maryland lads were convinced that
their mascot was hidden elsewhere than
in the Hopkins dorm. He was and the
temporary hiding place still is a secret,
"perhaps for future use," said the Hop-
kins boys.

Dr. H. C. Byrd, Maryland prexy,
smiled when asked about the incident.
He has been around a long time, has
seen such things happen before, and,
as an old newspaper man, certainly
would not sneer at the publicity angle,
which not only became national but in-
ternational. One clipping of this inci-
dent was received from Paris, France.
Despite Hopkins being an odds-on-
favorite, nearly 6,000 watched the
game.

Dr. Byrd, like "Testudo", should take
these occurrences in his stride, as he is
indirectly responsible for them. Back in
1922 the diamondback terrapin, par-
ticularly in Byrd's home waters around
Crisfield, was one of the State's most
noted and delectable products, and when
the university student newspaper was
seeking a new name, Diamondback was
suggested by him and accepted. The
paper previously had been the Mary-
land State Review.

Soon Sliced to Terps

It was not long after this time that
Maryland athletic teams and athletes
began to be designated at the Terrapins
and the daily newspapers of Washing-
ton and Baltimore soon had cut it to the
briefer "Terps" which fits much more
easily into the headlines. In 1935 the
yearbook changed its name from the
Reveille to the Terrapin by a vote of
the student body, so the name insepar-
ably is tied up with the university.

Bronze for "Testudo" was provided
and his creation made possible by E. C.
Mayo, president of the Gorham Manu-
facturing Co., of Providence, R. I., who
played quarterback for Maryland back
in 1903. "Testudo" was modeled after
a live diamondback terrapin which was
brought from Crisfield and sent to
Providence. Tied to a light rope he
unveiled his own statue at fitting cere-
monies but died shortly afterward.

Ralph I. Williams, president of the
1932-33 Student Government Associa-
tion, conceived the idea of the memo-
rial; Aristide B. Cianfarani, noted
sculptor, and Robert J. Hill of the
bronze division of the Gorham Co., gave
particular attention to the details in
creating "Testudo", and Maj. Howard
Cutler, architect of the Coliseum, gave
his services in designing the base.

Tied to a light rope the live Diamondback Terrapin unveiled his own likeness at Class Day cere-
monies on May 26, 1933. At left is President Byrd and on right is Ralph I. Williams, prexy of the
1932-33 Student Government Association.

Origin of Old Liners

Some folks like Old Liners for a
nickname better than Terps but while
both will be used freely, the latter be-
cause of its terseness appears to hold
the upperhand. Many are not familiar
as to how Old Liners really originated,
although an explanation has been pub-
lished in football programs and other
publications. Of several theories ad-
vanced, the two most plausible are
widely divergent. The generally accep-
ted version, however, is that which
emanated from the New York campaign
of the War of the Revolution. Accord-
ing to the story, the Continental troops
were drawn up across Long Island
facing south, with a similar array of
the British directly opposite. The
Maryland troops held the center posi-
tion of the American lines. During the
course of the battle, the Continental
troops flanking the Marylanders began
to give way under the pressure of the
British attack, but Maryland held her
ground. The line of battle thus became
bow-shaped, with the Free Staters at

the most advanced portion of the arc.
The American commanding officers thus
began to refer to the lines of battle as
"the old line," and "the new line."

But the British advantage was brief
and after a few hours the tide of the
battle turned in favor of the Americans,
inspired no doubt by the tenacity of the
boys from Maryland. Upon seeing the
lines of battle begin to straighten out
to their original position again, Col.
Smallwood, commanding a Maryland
regiment cried out "See! The old line
holds!" From thenceforward, the Mary-
land soldiers were known as "The Old
Line" regiments, and upheld their glor-
ious record throughout the rest of the
war.

Battle Over Dividing Line

The other story is about the fierce
skirmishes between the Marylanders
and the Pennsylvanians over the then
indefinite boundary between the States.
It seems that there were two lines, the
original known as "The Old Line," being
the one most favorable to Maryland.
The Marylanders, of course, defended

[31]

this border, while the Pennsylvanians
fought for a new line, which would
give them more land. It is said that the
Marylanders held so strenuously for the
old marker that they earned Maryland
its name as "The Old Line State."

Finally, after Mason and Dixon sur-
veyed the boundary, completing it in
1767, the quarreling came to an end,
but the Old Line still retains it place
in history.

PAST GRID MENTORS

Here is the list of head football
coaches who served in the past 55
years at Maryland :

1892-96— Prof. H. M. Strickler of
Randolph Macon, who also acted as
athletic director;

1897-99 — No coach, athletic commit-
tee in charge;

1900— Roy Mackall of St. John's.

1901-04— D. John Markey, Western
Maryland.

1905-06— Fred Nielsen, Nebraska.

1907— C. G. Church, Virgina, and
Charles W. Melick, Nebraska.

1908 — William Lang, Delaware.

1909— Dr. Edward P. Larkin. Cornell
and Georgetown, and Barney Cooper,
Maryland. '08.

1910 — R. Alston, George Washington.

1911— C. F. Donnelly, Trinity of
Connecticut, and H. C. Byrd, Maryland,
'08, who coached the then Aggies for
the Western Maryland game, which was
won, 6-0, in a stunning upset.

1912-32— H. C. Byrd.

1933-35— Jack Faber, Maryland, '26,
with Dr. Byrd advisory coach in 1933.

1936-1939— Frank Dobson, Prince-
ton.

1940-41— Jack Faber, Al Heagy, '30,
and Al Woods, '33, all Maryland.

1942 — Clark Shaughnessy, Minnesota.

1943-44 — Clarence Spears, Minnesota.

1945 — Paul Bryant, Alabama.

1946 — Clark Shaughnessy.

WHILE the 1946 football cam-
paign, the 55th in the history of
the university, was not one over which to
become elated, with only three out of
nine games placed in the victory column,
there were some pleasant spots along
the thorny path.

Two old Southern Conference rivals
were beaten, Virginia Tech at College
Park by 6-0 and Washington and Lee
in the Baltimore Stadium by 24-7, and
a homecoming triumph should have
been scored over South Carolina which
pulled a game out of the fire on a long
touchdown pass in the last ten seconds
to win 21-17. In fact, the Old Liners
played their best game against the
Gamecocks, coming back to lead 17-14 in
the second half after trailing 14-0 at
intermission.

Tommy Mont was his old self against
Carolina, pacing the team by two touch-
downs and kicking a long field goal to
give Maryland what appeared to be a

winning edge. Mont also snagged an
enemy forwad pass and ran 98 yards to
score on Washington and Lee to "break
the Generals' back" in what had been a
nip-and-tuck battle.

Mont also thrilled the Chapel Hill
fans by his passing of a wet ball in a
game that North Carolina won, 33-0,
and he and others provided some stir-
ring moments in other contests.

Bainbridge NTS was the third team
beaten but other losses were suffered to
University of Richmond, William and
Mary, Michigan State and North Caro-
lina State.

Outside of Mont, Ed Chovanes and
Emile Fritz, guards; Bob James and
Pat McCarthy, ends, and John (Reds)
Wright, fullback, finished their college
careers. Wright, who shone brilliantly
in the 1942 backfield with Mont, and
Fritz also has turned pro, joined the
Baltimore Colts of All-American Con-
ference.

FIELD DAY IS ATTRACTIVE

ONE of the high spots of the sports
year at Maryland is the annual
field clay, which was inaugurated in 1911,
and which has had only war lapses.
The affair, now always held on the first
Saturday in May, was revived this
year after the wartime break in 1943
and again was a marked success.

There was only one dark spot to the
1947 games, the fact that it rained for
the first time during the 26 years it
has been staged but not enough to pre-
vent all of the track events from being
run off. More than 30 schools sent over
300 athletes into action, with Washing-
ton-Lee High of Arlington, Va., win-
ning the open interscholastic trophy
and Fort Hill of Cumberland taking the
honors in the division limited to high
schools of the State.

E. W. (Pete) Stoll, one of Mary-
land's early aces on the gridiron, who
played four years, 1901-04, inclusive, and
also a fields events star in track, and
who then was a captain in the Philip-
pines Constabulary, in the winter of
1911 forwarded a contribution to Alum-
ni Association to be used to further the
athletic interests of the college. Upon
the suggestion of Dr. E. N. Cory, now
State entomologist and Athletic Board
member, it was decided to institute an
annual track and field meet and the
first gun was fired the following spring.

The inaugural meet was an inter-col-
legiate and interscholastic affair. Now
main attention is given to the scholastic
event, but Old Line trackmen usually
oppose an old rival in a companion
meet and other contests, lacrosse or

[32]

baseball or both, are added attractions.

Most of the meet records have been
broken time and again but one that
has stood the test since 1915 is Brooke
Brewer's :09.8 for the 100 but that was
tied by Neil Vincent of Seton Hall Prep
in 1940. Brewer, a Washingtonian,
came to Maryland in 1916 to become one
of the best halfbacks of his time and to
add to his track fame. Curley Byrd,
who coached him and others who saw
him in action rate him the greatest
kicker who ever booted the pigskin.

Scores of others who competed in
the meets later have become stars in
track and other sports at College Park.

FROM ALABAMA

Back in '34 to '37 Maryland had a
grade "A" 127 pound boxer named Tom
Birmingham. Tom could box and Tom
could punch and he won the Southern
Conference championship in his class.
In '38, after Tom had graduated, the
Maryland team boxed Duke at Dur-
ham, N. C. One of the students asked
the Maryland coach, "What ever be-
came of that boxer Montgomery?" The
coach replied, "We had no Montgom-
ery." "You suah 'nuf did," insisted the
Duke lad, "that hah'd hitten' 127 poun-
der." "His name," replied the coach,
"was Birmingham." "Shucks yes," con-
cluded the Duke youngster, "Ah jes'
knew it was suthin' from Alabama."

GUCKEYSON FOUR SPORTS STAR

Maryland and Army
Grad Met Death on
Bomber Mission

CAPTAIN John William (Bill) Guc-
keyson, University of Maryland's
greatest all-around all-time athlete, lies
in an unknown grave in Germany where
he was shot down May 21, 1944, while
piloting an Army bomber. His mates,
who returned, thought they saw him
bail out but there never has been any-
thing definite as to how he met his
fate.

Guckeyson, always quiet, unassuming
and admired by everyone with whom he
came in contact, entered the University
of Maryland in the fall of 1933 as a
6 foot, 180 pound freshman who had
taken part in only the 12-pound shot
put and played some soccer and basket
ball for Bethesda-Chevy Chase, Md.,
High School, just nine miles from the
College Park campus.

GUCKEYSON Poised for Lengthy Toss

BILL GUCKEYSON

All-around Athlete

Maryland's "Greatest
All-time."

He left Maryland upon graduation in
1937 to enter West Point with letters
in four sports, as the finest all-around
halfback ever to play for the Old Lin-
ers, a sensational 13-event trackman, a
ball player of big league caliber and
a far better than average basket ball
performer. It would take pages to real-
ly tell of his feats but here in brief is
the heart-tingling story that had such
a hearbreaking end :

Brilliant on Gridiron

During his three years of varsity
football he figured in most every touch-
down that was made by the Old Liners
or registered them himself by stirring
individual stunts, making 16 in all. He
was a fleet and deceptive runner, great
kicker who booted the ball far and
angled it out-of-bounds, was an able
pass tosser and receiver, took good care
of his territory on defense and could
throw a block about as well as any back.
Here are some highlights:

In 1934 he scored two touchdowns on
Navy after taking passes, made a 60-
yard punt and ran 25 yards for a score
against Florida, kicked 60 yards into
the wind against V. M. I., counted on
Virginia Tech after catching pass and
ran 40 yards for score against St.
John's.

Makes 85-Yard Punt

Among his top thrillers in 1935, when

[34]

he was exceptionally brilliant in every
phase of the game, was a 75 yard
quick kick and an 85-yard punt from
behind his own goal against Florida,
both of which setup touchdowns; runs
for 50 yards from scrimmage and 90
yards from the second-half kickoff to
beat Georgetown, 12-6, with a 25 yard
dash and a 68 yard punt thrown in to
boot; played so superbly against Indi-
ana that the Hoosiers rated him the
best back they had faced that year
despite the fact that they had played
against Jay Berswanger, Chicago U's
famous all-America. He also gained over
GOO yards during the season in exchange
of kicks with his rivals. It was his amaz-
ing punting, all of his kicks being so
angled that none was caught, that
earned a scoreless deadlock with highly-
favored Syracuse in the mud in Balti-
more Stadium.

It was just about the same story in
1936 when among his top performances
were the running back of a punt for
60 yards for a score against Virginia,
making two 66 yard sprints from scrim-
mage for touchdowns that beat Rich-
mond U., 12-0, and one punt for 80 yards,
wrecking Syracuse with his varied skills,
catching a pass and making a 35 yard
dash for a touchdown against George-
town and kicking 78 yards against
Washington and Lee. Other than his

scoring runs that season, Guckeyson
piled up 685 yards in 114 running plays
and made all his rival punters look bad.
He was all-State all three years and
was all-Southern Conference and all-
Southern in 1935 and 1936.

Three-Event Trackman

Guckeyson took part in track at
Maryland for only two full seasons but
he scored 213 points with the discus, shot
and javelin and was Conference champ
with the spear in 1935 with a heave of
204 feet 5 inches. His best javelin
throw was 208 feet 5 inches, which still
is the university record; his top shot
put mark was 46 feet 8 Vz inches and
his best with the discus was 135 feet
11 inches. In six dual meets in 1937 he
scored 83 out of a possible 90 points.

He played baseball only one year for
the Terps, in 1936 when his right
shoulder was declared too weak to stand
the strain of his three track specialties.

GENE KINNEY

Football Center

He hit .320 for the season, despite the
fact that he didn't take part in the early
season practice sessions, and was a de-
mon on the bases and in the outfield. His
arm, too, was good enough to whip the
ball to the home plate when it was neces-
sary.

His basket ball was confined to two
seasons and, while he was a letter man
both years and his play would have
gratified most any coach, he was not as
forceful and proficient on the court as
he was in the other three pastimes.

Praised at West Point

Guckeyson had his allotment of foot-
ball before he went to West Point, from
which he was graduated in 1942, but
he starred for the Army teams in track
and basket ball for one season each, two

in baseball and also played a keen game
of hockey and soccer. In fact, he was
so brilliant that the Pointer, Cadet bi-
weekly publication at West Point, called
him the greatest all-around athlete
since Elmer Oliphant. And Oliphant
generally is conceded to have been West
Point's all-time great.

Guckeyson not only was Maryland's
and the Southern Conference's greatest
all-around athlete of recent years but
doubtless was the Nation's best in his
time.

GUCKEYSON IS LAUDED

Below is a tribute to Bill Guckey-
son from Prank Dobson, long-time
national figure in sports as a coach,
official and executive, who was head
coach of the Old Line gridders
from 1936 to 1939 after being asso-
ciate coach with Jack Faber in 1935.
Dobson now is director of athletics at
the Newport News Shipbuilding Com-
pany. He wrote:

"During more than four decades of
coaching from the University of Geor-
gia to the University of Maryland it
has been my privilege to be associated
with hundreds of fine young American
boys, many of whom stood out above
their teammates because of particular
skills or qualities, in which he partici-
pated, the inspirational leadership and
the sterling character that made Bill
Guckeyson the greatest athlete I have
ever known."

REDSKINS INVADE

The Algonquins and the Iroquois
again roamed over the hills at College
Park, Maryland, but the members of the
10 tribes in each nation were spending
their time studying livestock, poultry,
conservation, home furnishing, foods,

clothing, and other subjects, instead of
hunting with bow and arrow.

The Indian nanus were assumed by
groups of Maryland 4-H'ers as they at-
tended the 25th annual 4-H Club Week
at the University of Maryland. Ap-
proximately 1,000 club members attend-
ed the gathering which was held Au-
gust 4 to 9.

One of the two nations was organized
with groups of boys and girls who are
12, 13, or 14 years of age, while the
other was for young people 15 years
or older.

ALVIN L. AUBINOE

Alvin L. Aubinoe, whose plans to
build a $3,000,000 apartment-hotel re-
quires the leveling of the Leiter man-
sion at Dupont circle, is one of many
Washington men who started in build-
ing or real estate business with a few
hundred dollars and became million-
aires within a few years. He attended
the University of Maryland in 1922 and
1923.

He learned the fine points of con-
struction and financing big ventures
from Morris Cafritz, the Washington
multi-millionaire builder and real estate
man.

Aubinoe started with Cafritz in 1925.
At the urging of Cafritz, Aubinoe went
in business for himself in 1929, but re-
turned to Cafritz a little more than a
year later when the depression had set
in.

In 1938 he left Cafritz again for a
business of his own, and incorporated
as a builder in 1939. Since then he has
sprung up to the millionaire class, ac-
cording to a financial agency's rating.

FOOTBALL TEAM OF 1923 WHICH STAGED MARYLAND'S GREATEST FOOTBALL EFFORT"

Left to Right: Front Row — Fred Herzog, Skeet Parker, Bob Bartlett, Aubrey Wardwell, Jess Gundry, Ector Latham and Gomer Lewis.
Center Row — Kirk Besley, Walter Bromley, Joe Burger, John Groves, Jack McQuade, Rosy Pollock, Mark Brewer, Tubby Branner, Downey
Osborn and George Heine.

Back Row — Walter Young, Tony Hough, John Waters, Ed Pugh, Irving Hall, Fats Bonnet, Pat Lanigan and Bill Supplee.

MARYLAND'S greatest feat on
the gridiron ended in a thrill-
ing defeat. It happened on November
10, 1923, in New Haven when Yale's
unbeaten Eastern championship eleven
eked out a 16-14 victory in a game in
which fate undoubtedly kept the Old
Liners from scoring one of the most
startling football upsets of all time.

As one writer put it: "But for two
fumbles in the second period the score
would have been Maryland, 28 ; Yale, 10."

That this hectic struggle was Mary-
land's finest and most glamorous effort
is the conviction of Dr. H. C. (Curley)
Byrd, now President of the University
and then coach of the Old Line grid-
men. And football at Maryland really
didn't begin until Byrd took over in
1912, four years after graduating from
the institution.

Makes Two Long Marches

Both of the Maryland scores came in
the first period after drives of exactly
85 yards each. Kicking off to start the
game, the Old Liners soon forced Yale
to punt and, taking the ball on their
own 15-yard mark, marched unbrokenly
to score with Fullback Jack McQuade
and Halfbacks Ed Pugh and Downey
Osborn carrying effectively and the
first named mixing in short passes to
End Bill Supplee, Tackle Joe Burger,
who was shifted to the outside, and

Fumbles Kept Terps
From 1923 Victory,
Sensational Upset

Quarterback Johnny Groves. Groves
finally took a pass and went over and
drop-kicked the extra point.

Maryland received the next kickoff
and repeated the dose in the same fash-
ion without halting, Groves scoring in
the same manner and again adding the
point.

Yale got 10 points in the second quar-
ter, the touchdown coming on a march
from its own 40 yard line after the Elis
had recovered the second Maryland
fumble of the period in their own terri-
tory, Ducky Pond carried the ball over
and All-America Fullback Bill Mallory
kicked the goal. Yale honestly earned
its next three points that made the
score 14-10 at the half, Mallory booting
a field goal from the 25 yard mark
scrimmage line) after Maryland had
halted an Eli march.

Stevens Ruins Old Liners

Mai Stevens, now Physician for the

All-America Conference grid Yankees,
deserved most of the credit for Yale's
winning points in the third quarter.
Stevens punting from deep in his own
territory, kicked the ball almost to the
goal where End Dick Luman fell on it.
Groves kicked 40 yards down the field
from back of the line and Stevens
grabbed the ball and ran it within two
yards of a touchdown. He went over on
the next play but Mallory missed the
goal.

That was the game but Maryland had
two other chances in the fourth period
and still firmly believes it did score the
needed points on a field goal try by
Groves from 25 yards out that was
called "no good" by an official who
seemed absolutely alone in his decision.
The Old Liners again were romping to-
ward the goal when their fifth fumble of
the game cost them the ball and time ran
out.

In addition to those mentioned, Mary-
land started Pat Lannigan, end; Walter
Bromley, tackle; Arthur (Fats) Bon-
net and Mack Brewer, guards, and
George F. (Rosy) Pollock, center.
Ector Latham at end, John Waters at
tackle and George Heine at fullback,
when McQuade was hurt, were the only
Maryland substitutions. Incidentally,
Bromley, Bonnett, Brewer and Pollock
never played football before entering
Maryland.

[36]

Yale Has Many Stars

Other Yale players who were out-
standing were Halfback "Greasy"
Neale, who along with Pond and Ste-
vens did some great running; Quarter-
back Bill Richeson, who did the passing,
and Tackle Winslow Lovejoy. Lovejoy
and Luman were All-America choices
in 1924, further testimony of what
Maryland was up against.

Yale had All-America Tackle Cen-
tury Milstead out with injuries but
Maryland was minus both its regular
guards, John (Tony) Hough and Irving
Hall and Kirk Besley, a versatile back
for the same reason, and Cecil (Tubby)
Branner, regular right halfback, was
left home for skipping practice. Byrd
freely admits that his discipling of
Branner cost the game, as it was Os-
born, his understudy, who did most of
the fumbling.

Before meeting Maryland Yale had
licked North Carolina, 53-0; Georgia,
40-0; Bucknell, 29-14; Brown, 21-0; and
Army, 31-0. and after playing Mary-
land the Elis whipped Princeton, 27-0,
and Harvard, 13-0.

An unusual sidelight to the game
was that Head Coach Tad Jones of the
Elis who had gone to Princeton to scout
the Tigers, never saw them play at all.
He heard the first period score over

the telephone and remained there with

a direct line to Yale field to run the Eli

outfit for the remainder of the contest.

Five Are Marine Colonels

Five of the Maryland players became
colonels in the Marine Corps, Burger,
Hough, Lanigan, Pugh and McQuade,
and all still are in the service with that
rank, except the last named who was
retired because of poor eyesight and
lives in nearby Charles Town, West Va.
Dr. Supplee associate professor of bio-
chemistry at the University and mem-
ber of the Athletic Board, served as a
major in the Sanitary Corps in the
European Theater, and Bonnet was a
lieutenant commander in the Seabees
for the duration. Bonnet now is back
on the job with the Navy engineers in
Washington.

Hall's daughter Barty, graduated
from Maryland last June. His son,
Buzz, lacrosse and football ace at Sev-
ern School, matriculates this fall.

McQuade has a son, Jack, Jr., in the
University, and he is one of the lead-
ing members of the grid squad; Brew-
er's son, George, also is in school and
was playing shortstop for the ball team
until an old knee injury forced him
out for the season.

Branner, whose daughter, Patricia, is
a student in the College of Arts and

Sciences, was at College Park recently
and he and Dr. Byrd commiserated
over the untimely incident of 24 years
ago that kept Tubby out of the Yale
embroglio.

It is Dr. Besley now (Ph.D.) and he
is superintendent of the Prince Georges
County Hospital. His son Bob was a
soph in the University until called into
the service and played shortstop on the
ball team during the 1946 season. Hall
is in business in Annapolis and keeps
open house at his home there which is
one of the show places of the Maryland
capital.

Pollock Now in Japan

Pollock, alumni secretary at the out-
break of the war, went to the South
Pacific as an army Captain with a Uni-
versity of Maryland hospital unit and
later to Tokyo and has remained in
Japan in welfare work. Groves a Ma-
rine officer for a time, now is operations
manager for the Air Transport Asso-
ciation in Washington; Heine has
charge of the Southern Dairies plant at
Florence, S. C, and all the others have
done well in their chosen fields.

Supplee, a general ail-American se-
lection in 1923; Burger, Hough and Mc-
Quade were on practically every all-
time Maryland eleven ever selected.

Oi.w Lixk Boone u i Has Vkw Hill Ylaiis

FOOTBALL at Maryland, which
has had its good, bad and indif-
ferent years, but few dull ones, was
put on a recognized basis at College
Park in 1892. That year relations were
established with St. John's and Johns
Hopkins, both of which became tradi-
tional rivals. It was in 1889, however,
when George Hoblitzel organized a
team, that the real foundation of the
game was laid. The informal outfit of
that season continued to function in
1890 and 1891 and several games were
played.

The grid remained in an uncertain
haze from 1892 until it stabilized with
the advent of Curley Byrd, Maryland
'08, as coach in 1912. Despite executive
duties, the now president of the uni-
versity, kept a hand in the grid game
for 21 years through the season of
1932 and quit with a record of 104 vic-
tories, 71 defeats and 15 ties for a .600
percentage.

Upsets "Big Timers"

This was remarkable in view of the
fact that his teams played schedules

that were "over their heads". Along
the way jolts were handed to Yale,
Penn, Syracuse, Rutgers and other
"big-timers" and the Old Liners were
in the limelight for some feat or other
most every season.

Maryland never has had an unbeaten
season, but Byrd came closest in 1931,
when eight games were won, a Ken-
tucky powerhouse tied at 6-all and a
defeat suffered at the hands of a great
Vanderbilt outfit. Included in the tri-
umphs was a victory over Navy in
Washington.

Seven different coaching setups func-
tioned after Dr. Byrd retired from the
game until Jim Tatum came along last
February. Prominent in these setups
were Jack Faber, Al Heagy and Al
Woods, all grads of the University and
top athletes in their day and all a long
time connected with the institution.
These three formed a grid coaching tri-
umvirate for two seasons, and Faber
either was in charge or associated with
Frank Dobson, head coach from 1936 to
1939, inclusive, in seven other cam-
paigns.

Some Stirring Seasons

While slightly less than half the
games were won over this stretch,
three of the seasons were highly suc-
cessful. In 1937 eight of 10 games were
won and the losses were to Pennsyl-
vania, 28-21, and to Penn State, 21-14.
In 1934 and 1935 a total of 14 games
were annexed against five defeats and
two ties, the records reading 7-3-0 and
7-2-2. Thrilling battles were lost to
Indiana in these seasons, 17-14, and,
13-7, and another redhot clash was
dropped to Navy, 16-13, in 1934.

Maryland's two last successful years
came under Clark Shaughnessy in 1942,
when seven of nine games were won,
and under Paul Bryant, in 1945, who
hung up a record of six victories, two
defeats and a deadlock, including an
upset triumph over Virginia.

"Hey," cried Satan to a new arrival,
"you act as if you own the place."

"I do," said the new arrival. 'My
wife gave it to me before I left College
Park."

Terp's IIi.m; Coach Started Young

Gainefl Fame In Navy
After Boxing Ended
His Sehool Days

By Bill McDonald

COL. HARVEY L. (Heinie) MIL-
LER, mentor of the Old Line box-
ers, has been a "fighting man" ever since
he was knee high to a grasshopper, as
a scrapper in the ring, as a Navy en-
listed man, as a Marine Corps officer
and as a coach.

He really doesn't appear the actor of
roles he has played as, except for a
slightly squashed nose, he could serve
as a Santa Claus in a department store.

Colonel Miller who, as a Professor of
Journalism, is Director of Publications
and general publicity at the University,
as well as managing editor of "Mary-
land" magazine, is a short, little man
whose stockiness has changed over the
last ten years to a slight paunchiness.
His round face is deeply lined and his
nose has been adjusted until it covers
more than its share of space. A stub of
a cigar has become a fixture in his
tight, firm mouth and a puffiness pe-
culiar to boxers surrounds his spark-
ling blue eyes.

Was Referee

Miller first entered the Maryland col-
legiate ring picture as a referee. For
many years he refereed throughout the
Southern Conference and Eastern Inter-
collegiates at well as the Nationals and
at the Naval Academy. He refereed pro-
fessionally in many states from San
Francisco's famous Olympic Club to Ca-
racas, Venezula.

UPS AND DOWNS

Miller's opponent in the bout pictured above
was Jimmy Dwyer, of Boston, via Australia.
Old Doc Dougherty once wrote to Bob Ripley,
"Heinie never looked as tough as you have him
standing there." Ripley replied, "That's not
Heinie standing there!"

Has Been Through Mill

Miller, who first came to Maryland
in 1937 to teach boxing had a back-
ground of 47 years of hobnobbing with
fistic science. He fought his first pro-
fessional fight in 1900 at the age of 12
and thereby began a career that reads
like a Frank Merriwell yarn.

Miller was born in 1888 and his
strict Lutheran parents immediately be-
gan hoping he would grow up to be a
minister.

Their hopes were quashed when Mil-
ler literally fought his way out of Con-
cordia College in Milwaukee. When his
boxing interfered with his books to the
extent he almost flunked out of his school,
his father ordered him to get the prover-
bial job.

"This," remarks Heinie, "I solved
very nicely by getting one that lasted.
I joined the Navy.

Within a short time. he won his first
championship, the bantamweight crown
of the three services, in a tournament at
Newport, R. I. When life became dull
on the domestic front, Heinie went to
China. There he battled his way to the
Far East featherweight and lightweight
championships, both professional titles,
over the long route of 20 and 25 rounds.
He was rated as a terrific righthand
counter puncher. Few of his bouts went
the limit.

His battle with Jimmy Dwyer, of
Boston and Australia, is regarded by

[38]

many boxing historians as one of the
weirdest struggles in ring history.
When things look black for the Terrapin
squad, Miller digs out the scrapbook and
passes clippings of the battle around.

Dwyer flattened the bouncing Miller
for thirteen clean knockdowns in the
first four rounds, but Heinie got up for
the fourteenth time and went on to
knock out the Australian in the lucky
thirteenth of a scheduled 45-round bout.
Bob Ripley later cartooned that one in
1928.

Although he now reluctantly admits
that as a young bluejacket he saluted
the first Devil Dog Corporal he ever
saw, Miller is better known as a Marine
officer than as a sailor. He first enlisted
on April 6, 1906, and was first com-
missioned on April, 1917. He has served
in a reserve or active capacity since.
During World War II he became the
first reserve officer to command a Ma-
rine battalion and later a regiment.

Gets Rare Decoration

In addition to serving in World Wars
I and II, he wears ribbons for service
in Cuba, China, the Philippines, Nica-
ragua and Mexico. Recently he was
awarded the Marine Corps Reserve
special commendation ribbon, a rare
decoration that goes only to Navy and
Marine reserve commanders of long
service.

Long a prominent figure in the Na-
tional Boxing Association, Miller was
elected president of the organization in
1939 and upon the completion of his
term became the executive secretary, a
position he still holds. In January,
1946, he was appointed chairman of the
District of Columbia Boxing Commis-
sion, for which organization, as execu-
tive secretary, he had written the book
cf Rules and Regulations since copied
in many states.

When Miller was first appointed to
the District of Columbia boxing Com-
mission in 1934, Damon Runyon wrote,
"Miller knows as much about boxing as
any man in that game". Heinie, look-
ing back over the years since 1903,
every one of them active in boxing or
the administration of that sport, re-
marked, "If I didn't know by now I'd
have to be rated as lower 'F' moron".

MONT WINS HONORS

Tommy Mont, who came to Mary-
land in the fall of 1940 from Alle-
gany High School of Cumberland, and
who almost wore out the soles of his
shoes in walking to and fro to receive
honors at awards day on May 28, has
joined the Washington Redskins and
will strive to shine for the pros as a
T quarterback.

Tommy, who won three letters each
in football and basket ball and two in
lacrosse, had his big football year in
1942 under Clark Shaughnessy before
he went into the service to become an
infantry Captain and see overseas ser-
vice.

That season he was fifth in the Na-
tion in yardage in forward passing,
completing 66 of his 127 tosses for
1,076 yards. He flipped 12 touchdown
passes, did most of the punting and
booted 16 points after touchdown, be-
sides handling the elevens with extra-
ordinary skill.

Here is all that the modest and popu-
lar Mont got in his Maryland farewell:

Silvester Watch, Class of 1908
(President Byrd's Class) to the man
who typifies the best in college athletics.

Handsome Jack Dempsey trophy as

the year's top athlete by vote of all
coaches.

Gold awards for three years of ser-
vice on the football and basket ball
teams .

Also "M" in these sports and lacrosse
which he played only two seasons.

In addition to all this, Tommy was
given assurance that his alma mater
would be rooting for him in his pro
efforts.

JUDGE GOLDSBOROUGH

Bob Addie, Washington Times-Her-
ald sports columnist says the man to
head professional baseball if and when
Happy Chandler turns in his suit,
would be Justice Thomas A. Goldsbor-
ough, a graduate of the University of
Maryland. It was Justice Goldsbor-
ough who slapped that three and a

HEADQUARTERS IN COLISEUM

OLD LINE athletics, which operate
under the title of University of
Maryland Athletic Board, Inc., now are
centered in Ritchie Coliseum.

Walter Driskill, athletic director, and
the business office are installed in the
big room on the right as you enter the
Coliseum. Here all the business details,
including the advance sale of tickets
for all sports events at College Park,
will be handled. As the Coliseum is di-
rectly on the Washington-Baltimore
Boulevard, the offices could not be loca-
ted at a more convenient spot.

Jim Tatum, head football coach, and
his staff, with separate offices and a
conference room for staff meetings and
grid planning; Burton Shipley, head
baseball coach, the director of athletic
information, are located on the second
floor, where there also is a recreation
room for visitors.

Alfred L. (Flucie) Stewart, new
basket ball mentor, and Duke Wyre,
trainer, occupy the office on the left as
you enter the Coliseum, but the latter,
of course, will spend most of his time
in the well equipped training room on
the right corridor of the building.

Maj. Bohler, supervisor of athletic
grounds and buildings also holds forth
in the Coliseum.

Col. Harvey L. (Heinie) Miller, box-
ing coach, is available in the general
publicity and publications office, which
he heads, in the Administration Build-
ing; Jack Faber and Al Heagy, lacrosse
mentors, as faculty members, function
from their regular university offices;
Doyle Royal, tennis and soccer tutor,
has other duties that domicile him in
the Administration Building; Frank
Cronin, golf coach, is in the Physical
Education Department, and Bill
Krouse, who teaches wrestling, may be
found at the same place.

Col. Harland Griswold and T-Sgt.
Fay Norris, who are responsible for
Maryland's national Champion rifle
shooters naturally operate from the
Military Department of which the for-
mer is head.

All of the offices and persons in
Ritchie Coliseum may be reached over
Warfield 2807 or Union 4384 and those
not located in this building may be
contacted through the regular switch-
board of Warfield 3800.

ALUMNI REORGANIZATION

THE program for reorganizing
alumni activities of the Univer-
sity of Maryland has left the planning
stage and a definite action has been tak-
en. Those in attendance at the General
Alumni Meeting at College Park last
fall will recall the selection of a Board
of Managers whose instructions were
to develop a sound alumni program for
the future. This Board has met at least
once a month since that time and has
developed a definite program designed
to instill new life into the alumni or-
ganization. Members of the Board have
met with President Byrd to outline
their aims. They have consulted with
officers of the four well organized Balti-
more Alumni Associations. These in-
clude Dental, Medical, Nursing, and
Pharmacy. All agree on a general re-
organization plan which is presented
here for your consideration.

It is suggested the eleven schools of
the University of Maryland including
in Baltimore Dental, Law, Medical,
Nursing, and Pharmacy and in Col-
lege Park Agriculture, Arts and Sci-
ence, Business and Public Administra-
tion, Education, Engineering and Home
Economics be organized as chapters of
a General Alumni Association. Each
Chapter or School Association is to
have its own constitution, officers, and
Board of Directors. These Chapters
will have equal representation, on an
overall Alumni Council. At the pre-
sent time a total of thirty-three coun-
cil members, three from each school
chapter is proposed.

Details concerning the constitutions
and general plans are to be announced
at the Homecoming Meetings on No-
vember 1. All alumni are invited to be
present on that date for the Organi-
zation Meetings, the election of officers,
and the General Alumni Luncheon
Meeting. Details of the program for
the day will be announced later. A brief
summary appears on the inside back
cover of this magazine.

The ground work for school chapter
is now being laid by Steering Com-
mitters whose names appear under the
school headings. In general, each of
these committees has assumed the re-
sponsibility for drafting a suggested
constitution for presentation at the Or-
ganizational Meetings. In addition, they
have established nominating committees
to suggest a slate for consideration at

the Fall Meeting. Nominations from
the floor are also to be accepted. Each
Steering Committee is appointing a
Homecoming Committee to lay plans for
the individual meetings and to arrange
an attractive program which will be of
interest to all alumni of the school from
which they were graduated.

Deans of the various colleges are
assisting materially in the organiza-
tional efforts of alumni of their respec-
tive schools. Those assisting include Dr.
T. B. Symons — Agriculture, Dr. J.
Freeman Pyle — Arts and Science &
Business and Public Administration,

AUSTIN C. DIGGS

Chairman, Board of Managers,
Alumni Association, B. & P. A. '21

Home Economics

The Steering Committee of the alum-
nae of the Home Economics College
held its first meeting on July 1, 1947,
at the Iron Gate Inn with Dean Mount
as hostess. Those present were Dean
Mount, Mrs. McFarland, and Miss Mc-
Naughton (all of the faculty), Hazel
Tuemmler (of the Alumni Board of
Managers), and the following who are
graduates of the college: Mary Riley,
'26; Katherine Appelman Longridge,
'29; Nellie Smith Davis, '23; Martha
Ann Cotterman Talbott, '44; Elinor
Broughton Etienne, '38; Mildred Bland
Miller, '40; and Charlotte Farnham
Hasslinger, '34.

Hazel Tuemmler presided and was
voted into the College of Home Econom-
ics so she could carry on as chairman.
Charlotte Hasslinger is the secretary.

Elinor Ettiene, Katherine Longridge,
and Mary Langford volunteered to
serve on the Homecoming Committee.
It is hoped that some outstanding alum-
na can return to speak to the alumnae
at the meeting to be held on the morn-
ing of Homecoming Day, the first Sat-
urday of November.

Dean Mount reminded everyone that
1 948 will mark the thirteenth anniver-
sary of the College of Home Economics
and that we should start thinking about
preparations for that event.

It was urged that every person fill
cut the History Forms and return them
to the executive secretary and that we
supply them to all other graduates whom
we know have not received the form.

A second meeting was held on Tues-
day, July 8, 1947 and the following
committees for the Homecoming Day
elections were unanimously elected :
From the Steering Committee: Martha
Ann Talbott, '44, Chairman; Mildred

First Lieutenant John F. Adams,
University of Maryland, A. & S. '43
(Major in history) , son of Mr. and Mrs.
John Adams, 1612 "C" Street N.E.,
Washington, D. C, is now serving with
Eighth Army Headquarters, Yokohama,
Japan, as Assistant Postal Officer.

Lt. Adams entered the service on 21
February 1943 at Fort Knox, Ken-
tucky. He sailed overseas an 9 July
1946, arriving at his present unit in
August 1946. His citations include the
European Theatre Operations Ribbon
with two battle stars for the Rhine-
land and Central Europe Campaigns,
and Bronze Star Medal which he re-
ceived while serving with the 717th
Tank Battalion.

Prior to entering the University of
Maryland, Lt. Adams graduated from
Eastern High School, Washington, D. C.

His wife, Mrs. Lillian Adams, re-
sides at 2104 Pacific Ave., Olympia,
Washington.

DR. W. M. GEWEHR

Authority on the Balkans and the
Middle East, author of two books on the
subject and of an early history of
Virginia, Dr. Wesley M. Gewehr, visit-
ing professor at the University of New
Mexico (Albuquerque) summer session,
was one of the most popular professors
on the campus.

The tall, pleasant-faced doctor, who is
chairman of the history department at
the University of Maryland, was civil-
ian chairman of the history department
of the U. S. Army universities in Stri-
venham, England, and Biarritz, France,
during the war, and was attached to
the U. S. Army Lecture Bureau in
Germany in 1946.

Previously, the much traveled his-
torian had been exchange professor at
Tsinghua university in Peiping, China.
He also visited Japan and Korea.

In 1936 he was a member of a travel-
ing seminar which visited England,
France, Spain, Austria, Hungary,
Czechoslovakia, Germany, and Den-
mark. His party got out of Spain just
before the Spanish Civil War got under-
way, and was just a jump or two ahead
of the Nazis when they moved into
Czechoslovakia.

"We talked to anarchists and com-
munists and fascists," Dr. Gewehr said.
"We wanted to find out what made
them what they were."

In 1938, just before the lid blew off
World War II, Dr. Gewehr was doing
the same kind of questioning and
searching in Italy, Finland, Sweden,
and Norway.

"Democracy can exist in the army,"
says Dr. Gewehr.

At the close of the war when people
were thinking of lifted rations and a
new car, universities were being estab-
lished in Europe for the advantage of

officers and soldiers of combined Ameri-
can, British, French, Polish, and other
allied armies, he says.

Men and women of different races,
colors, and ranks studied together in
this experiment in democracy, he said.

"No major was above a private, cap-
tain above a lieutenant. There were no
military drills, saluting, or stiff army
regulations. They were just an ordi-
nary group of students striving for high-
er learning."

There was a difference in these
school" Ihough, Prof. Gewehr goes on.
There were no flunkers.

DR. GEWEHR

Dr. Wesley Gewehr, University of Maryland
Professor of History, now on the summer school
faculty, University of New Mexico.

"Only the cream of the army were
invited to attend these universities for
a course of eight weeks, at the end of
which another group would take their
place."

It was Professor Gewehr's job to
help select a staff of history professors.

Most of the preparation for the
schools was done in six weeks, he said.
Professors chosen were given honorary
ranks of lieutenant colonel with excel-
lent salaries and all travelling expenses
paid.

In Shrivenham county, England, near
the University of Oxford, the first army
university was created. After VE day
ether universities were organized in
Biarritz, France and in Germany.

Biarritz had been a ritzy resort and
the staff of professors lived in a beau-
tiful villa where Edward VII of Eng-
land had resided many years ago.

English educators were amazed, Pro-
fessor Gewehr says, that such a pro-
gram could be carried out successfully
in so short a time.

In June, 1946, Professor Gewehr left
Europe feeling, he says, that he had
had an education himself, and with the
words of a university song still ringing

in his ears:

"Mid the rolling downs of England

In Shrivenham County Berks,

We came from distant places

For higher goals than marks.

Our walls too new for ivy

Our future's fancy free

What's not been done

We've just begun

In our university."

JESSE F. NICHOLSON

Jesse F. Nicholson, of Chevy Chase,
has been appointed secretary-treasurer,
public relations representative and ex-
pediter of the Maryland-National Capi-
tal Park and Planning Commission, it
was announced yesterday.

The office has been filled by tempor-
ary appointees since the death of Hugh
Frampton 18 months ago.

E. Brooke Lee, vice chairman of the
park commission, said that as expediter
Mr. Nicholson would coordinate the
work of various departments of the
commission.

An accountant and attorney, Mr.
Nicholson has been employed in the
office of the general counsel of the Mari-
time Commission.

He attended the University of Mary-
land for two years and in 1934 became
a clerk in the county accountant's office
at Rockville. He was appointed assis-
tant county accountant in 1937 and
county accountant in 1940. During
these years Mr. Nicholson received his
LLB and LLM degrees at the National
University Law School and passed the
Maryland bar examination.

He was called to active duty in the
Navy as a reserve officer in 1941 and
served 4% years. For 18 months he
served on the U. S. S. Tennessee, as a
lieutenant commander, participating
in four battles. The last 18 months of
his service in the Navy was in the
Judge Advocate General's Office in
Washington.

Mr. Nicholson's father, Jesse W.
Nicholson, is a former county register
of wills, while his mother is a former
Democratic committee-woman from
Maryland.

RIPENESS TESTERS

Farmers need no longer rely upon
their sense of touch and sight to tell
them when their vegetables are ready
for market. Two new instruments, a
"tenderometer" and a "succulometer"
developed at the Universtiy of Mary-
land, College Park, Md., can do the job
for them. The tenderometer shows
when green peas reach their peak of
ripeness by registering the amount of
pressure it takes for the gadget to
shear through a sample pod. The suc-
culometer measures the moisture con-
tent of sweet corn to indicate its readi-
ness for packing.

"HOW DOTH THE LITTLE ..."

Heat and humidity turned a bee
catching contest at Maryland into a
free-for-all with the bee catchers com-
ing out for place and show.

More than that, the uncooperative
bees had an emissary sink a snicker
snell into George J. Abrams, assistant
Professor of Agriculture, who was
supposed to judge the annual bee-catch-
ing contest of the Maryland State Bee-
keepers' Association.

Abrams, whose farm at Berwyn
Heights, was the scene of the tempest,
said the bees were "mean because of
the cloudy, humid and hot weather."

The new State champion, Robert E.
Lee of Brentwood, was about the only
person to emerge unscathed.

The runner-up, Joseph Ditman, 15-
year-old son of Dr. Lewis P. Ditman,
University of Maryland entomologist,
was eliminated in an extra-minute run-
off contest with Lee when a bee plunged
his lance into Josephs hand.

Fifteen members of the association
selected individual hives from Abram's
collection and then, standing alongside
with bare hands, transferred the bees
one at a time from the hive to a glass
container covered by the palm of the
other hand. Three minutes was the
time limit.

The prize was a "smoker" — a bel-
lows pump which blows smoke into
hives to quiet bees. According to
Abrams, the bees smell the smoke, think
its a fire and start swallowing their
honey, which extends their stomachs
and makes them less likely to sting the
beekeeper.

The injured contestants, hardened to
stings, declined first aid and after hear-
ing from several bee specialists on the
prospects for a good market, went home,
each to his own beesneez.

JAPANESE BEETLE

The most effective control for the
Japanese beetle is a 1% DDT spray
according to George S. Langford,
Specialist in Insect Control at the Uni-
versity of Maryland, who thinks that
the spray will kill all of the beetles it
comes in contact with and that the
spray residues will remain on the plants
to kill beetles for several days.

Dr. Langford states that Japanese
beetles are ,now emerging in large
numbers and will be causing damage
to fruit, ornamental plants, and farm
crops. Consequently, he suggests that
immediate steps be taken to kill as
many beetles as possible.

The 1%. solution of DDT which he
recommends may be made by using a
wettable powder or a miscible solution
of DDT. If the wettable powder is 50%
DDT two pounds should be used to 100
gallons and if a 25% miscible DDT is

available, four pints should be used in
100 gallons of water. The spray should
be applied wherever the beetles are
found feeding.

Other control measures should also
be adopted. One of these is the use of
traps; another is the establishment of
disease and parasites which prey on the
beetles; and a third is to shake infested
trees and shrubs early in the morning
and catch the beetles on sheets spread
underneath. Hand picking will also
help.

The University of Maryland is co-
operating with the county commission-
ers in most counties and with the
Bureau of Entomology and Plant Quar-
antine of the U. S. Department of
Agriculture in continuing its state wide
control program.

The activities vary from county to
county, but are centered in the County
Agents office.

JULL ELECTED

The Danish Government has extended
an official invitation to all countries to
participate in the Eighth World's
Poultry Congress to be held at Copen-
hagen, Denmark, in the summer of
1948. The various countries through-
out the world are expected to send
official delegates. Poultry leaders in the
technical and practical fields of poultry
husbandry will also attend to partici-
pate in a program of discussions and
reports all phases of the poultry in-
dustry.

Dr. Morley A. Jull, of the Poultry
Department at the University of Mary-
land, was recently elected Vice-Presi-
dent of the U. S. Executive Committee
on the Eighth World's Poultry Con-
gress. He explains that these Con-

gresses are held under the auspices of
the World's Poultry Science Associa-
tion, an international organization com-
posed of government poultry leaders,
experiment station research workers,
college teachers and extension person-
nel, and poultry producers and dis-
tributors. At each Congress reports are
given on the latest research work.
Regulations on the marketing of poul-
try products and the control of poul-
try diseases in the various countries
are discussed, as are methods of con-
ducting extension work among farmers
and commercial poultrymen, and prac-
tical problems confronting producers
in the breeding, feeding, incubation,
management, and marketing of all
classes of poultry.

The World's Poultry Science Associa-
tion publishes quarterly the World's
Poultry Journal. The holding of the
eighth World's Poultry Congress in
Denmark in 1948 will afford an excel-
lent medium for creating and main-
taining international goodwill and co-
operation.

Maryland poultrymen wishing to par-
ticipate in the Eighth World's Poultry
Congress and become members of the
World's Poultry Science Association
should write Dr. Morley A. Jull, Univer-
sity of Maryland, College Park, Mary-
land.

FAMILY LIFE WORKSHOP

A fifteen-day work shop on Family
Life Education was conducted at the
University of Maryland from July 16th
to August 1, 1947, with Dr. Muriel W.
Brown, Consultant in Family Life Edu-
cation, Home Economics Service of the
U. S. Office of Education, as consul-
tant. Dean Marie Mount, College of
Home Economics, was the director of
the work shop with Miss Evelyn Mil-
ler of Fort Hill High School, Cumber-
land, as assistant. Dr. Edna Meshke,
Associate Professor of Home Econom-
ics Education and Director of Teacher
Education in Home Economics at the
University of Maryland, consultant on
methods and evaluation.

The work shop, limited to 30
students, consisted of lectures, discus-
sions, committee work, and individual
conferences.

Basic problems in Family Life Edu-
cation were considered from the stand-
point of curriculum building in the field
of homemaking.

One of the beezarks in midring just
would not fight, in spite of every effort
of his opponent to make him open up
and give out. He'd stall, cover and
hold on. Finally an exasperated sten-
tor from the bleachers let him have it
with "Get in and fight in there or de-
clare yourself an open city."

PROFESSOR Franklin Sherman,
class of '97. who visited the
Maryland campus on Commencement
Day, June 7, 1947, 70-year-old head of
the Clemson College Department of En-
tomology and Zoology, Clemson, S. C,
died at Clemson, following a severe
heart attack.

A native of Ash Grove, Fairfax,
Virginia, Professor Sherman spent all
but one of his working years in the
public service of North and South Caro-
lina. He was also a graduate of Cornell
University.

Soon after his graduation from Cor-
nell University, he accepted a position
as state entomologist of North Caro-
lina and, with the exception of one year
at Ontario Agricultural College, of
Guelph, Canada, remained in that posi-
tion for twenty-five years.

In 1925 he became head of the Clem-
son College Department of Entomology
and has served in that capacity since
that time. He had served as national
president of the American Association

>7]

of Economic Entomologists, and as
president of both the North Carolina
and South Carolina Academies of
Sciences. He was a member of Masons
for many years and was a past master
of the Raleigh, N. C. Lodge.

Professor Sherman was one of five
brothers, all of whom are listed in
Who's Who in America. He authored
numerous technical bulletins, circulars
and articles, and throughout his term
of service at Clemson was engaged in
recording the insect life of South Caro-
lina. In twenty-two years he listed up-
ward of 13,000 different species of in-
sects and estimated that to be approxi-
mately half of the total species in the
state.

Professor Sherman is survived by his
widow, the former Miss Grace Berry,
of McLean, Virginia, one daughter,
Mrs. Grace C. Gregg, of Fort Bragg;
three sons: Franklin Sherman III, Lan-
sing, Michigan, Dallas B. Sherman,

JOSEPH M. CROCKETT, '43 writes
from Pittsburgh the following
note :

"My wife, the former Shirley Mac-
Kay AOPi '43, and I enjoy reading the
current news of Maryland and Alumni
activities."

Mr. William D. Groff of the class of
1900 pays personal compliments via
Dave Brigham:

"I am very much interested in Mary-
land and you can be sure that I read
it very thoroughly. It is a job to keep
up with the progress on the campus of
the University and the sight of such
beautiful campus does us all a great
deal of good."

"Please add my congratulations to
the many you must be receiving re-
garding 'Maryland'," writes Flourney C.
Raymond, Willows, California. "I was
deeply interested in the recent article
on American Civilization and the way
in which the entire paper, including the
sports items, are presented".

"Maryland' is a great paper for a
great University and I enjoy reading
it," writes Dr. Harry A. Silberman,
D.D.S., 579 Broad Avenue, Ridgefield,
N. J.

Mary Roberts Patrick writes from
Westernport: "I have certainly enjoyed
the issues of 'Maryland' that I have
received and I shall be looking forward
to the new ones. It is such a pleasure
to read of the progress of the Univer-
sity and my college. More than this,
I enjoy reading about my acquaint-

From Washington writes Mildred W.
Labaw: "I have enjoyed reading
'Maryland' and am finding more about
Maryland in each issue."

TALKING
TURTLE

By David L. Brightim

"I saw rr.any people walking by, a few were in step. Must
had a purpose in every move for they visioned an organi-
zation, an objective, and something to be accomplished."

ON three fingers name the factors you con-
sider most important to you as an alumnus of
the University of Maryland. See how far you miss
these objectives now on the horizon: —

A Leading University, including an outstanding
faculty roster of recognized educators, a great
physical plant, and an appealing campus.
Athletic Prominence and strong teams supported
by an enthusiastic alumni and student body.
.4 Virile Alumni Organization, capable of inform-
ing all alumni of University and graduate progress
and news, arranging reunions, offering scholar-
ships and blending all alumni into a strong, co-
hesive body through School Association, town
clubs and elected alumni representatives.
Speaking very frankly it must be said these are
long range objectives. No loyal alumnus will argue
that they are not sound. Therefore, we can assume
we are heading in the proper direction. Now we
turn to each of you for a helping
hand. We say very seriously,
"YOUR SUPPORT IS NEEDED."
Please do more than glance at the
coupon on the opposite page for it
is you who hold the key to success
or failure.

Alumni Organization

Don't fail to read the summary
of organizational progress in this
issue. We are a month ahead of
this report but plan to keep you
posted as currently as possible. If
your School Association is one of
those now on the assembly line in
preparation for the trial run on
November 1, you will be interested
in learning about the engineers and draftsmen now
carrying the construction burden. The October issue
will carry the slate of nominations for the coming
year. The elections are to be November 1, as a part
of the School or College organizational meetings.

Athletics and Scholarships

In America sport has helped carry into a new civi-
lization some of the best elements of a vanished
age. With sport came the complex of customs and
ideals called sportsmanship. We have come to mas-
ter the art of winning and losing both fairly and
gracefully. Of course we want good teams, and few
alumni mince words on this subject, We indorse
the statement of former Fleet Admiral Henry Braid
Wilson who addressed his fleet athletes with, "BE
MODEST WINNERS, GAME LOSERS. BUT
ABOVE ALL, GOOD SPORTSMEN!" But deep in
our hearts we commend the gob in the rear rank
who bellowed, "BUT DON'T LOSE !"

With these thoughts in mind we have undertaken
an Alumni Scholarship Fund program and have

Dave Brigham

already committed ourselves to provide four full
scholarships plus one for room and board to five
outstanding students. You will hear more about
these activities and individuals in the future.

Lost and Found

Approximately twenty-two thousand alumni of
the various schools of the University of Maryland
are now on our mailing list. Nearly twelve thousand
have submitted alumni history records which will
serve as the basis for an Alumni Directory. If you
have not submitted your record, please do so at
once. Undoubtedly you know of other alumni not
now receiving "MARYLAND" and out of touch
with the Universitv. Won't vou encourage them to
notify us NOW.

Class Lists

In the event you have a list of members of your
class with addresses we ask that you write the
Alumni Office and enclose a copy of your informa-
tion. There should be some individual from every
graduating class who has an up to date listing of
the location of all graduates of his year. Only
through the assistance of these individuals can we
hope to reach all former students of the University.

Homecoming Program

A more definite HOMECOMING program for
alumni has been developed. In brief, this incudes
registration bv schools from 10:00 to 10:30 A. M.
on NOVEMBER 1. From 10:30 to 11:45 organiza-
tional meetings for school alumni associations plus
the election of officers. An attractive program of
interest to all alumni is being planned by Home-
coming Committees from each School. A general
meeting and luncheon is on the docket for 12:00
Noon. Families of alumni are invited to attend.
The Homecoming game with West Virginia will
follow at 2:00 P. M. After the game there will be
Open House and a Tea for alumni at a central cam-
pus location. The Homecoming Ball is scheduled
for 8:00 P. M. and will continue until midnight.
We want you to plan now to attend all of these func-
tions but we ask that you concentrate especially on
the School Organizational Meetings and the General
Alumni Luncheon. Note: Order your tickets for
the Homecoming game now since a large crowd is
expected for a small stadium.

Appreciation

Certificates of Appreciation suitable for framing
have now gone to all individuals who contributed to
the support of alumni activities after May 1. We
are certain you are interested in helping obtain an
outstanding alumni association, and we know also
that you will be proud to have a Certificate of Appre-
ciation framed and on the wall of your home. This
certificate is our pledge to you that we will make
every effort to merit your interest, enthusiasm, and
support.

YOU have a date on November 1 If you have not

Big plans for Homecoming and alumni meetings are under
way. A summary of action taken to date appears in this
issue and should prove that all reads lead to College Park
on November 1.

KEY LETTER
Take a look at the address on the cover of your magazine.
If it does not contain a key letter such as AUG48 then some-
body else is carrying your share of the subscription load for
MARYLAND at the present time. The key letter shows the
month in which your subscription expires. We don't want
to be in the positon of a neighboring University which wrote
"An Alumnus who did not receive this
magazine is probably not at present
a dues-paying member." We do not have
regular dues but we nevertheless enlist
your voluntary support to assist us in
continuing the publication of MARY-
LAND and in carrying out other alumni
activities.

ROUND UP

We want to find all members of the
Alumni Association immediately. Please
take it upon yourself to advise us of the
name and address of any alumnus not
now receiving MARYLAND. We are do-
ing our best to locate all former stu-
dents but this is a responsibility which
cannot be completed without the help
of all with whom we are now in contact.

APPRECIATION

As has been indicated previously the Board of Regents
and President Byrd made available $30,000 for alumni re-
organization, the locating of former students, and the publi-
cation of the present alumni magazine. Much of this
amount has been used but the magazine alone proves the
merit of this action. As a further step, to make funds
available for alumni activities and alumni scholarships,
President Byrd has placed all campus concessions at the
disposal of the Alumni Office. Already plans are under way
for an expansion program which will mean real dividends
for the alumni fund. In view of this University action and
consideration we feel that all of us should be willing to
offer the additional financial assistance which will guarantee
a really successful alumni program wor-
thy of the institution from which we
graduated.

THE FUTURE

This issue contains a summary of ac-
tion taken in the alumni reorganization
program. There is much for you to
consider including a proposed constitu-
tion, nominations for permanent officers,
the Homecoming program and the pro-
posed alumni council. Please study
these proposals carefully and then plan
to give us your best thinking when you
join us for Homecoming on November 1.

MARYLAND'S GRADUATE SCHOOL

Established In 1918
To Administer
Graduate Work
And Re€|uirements
For Higher Degr«M»s

THE Graduate School was estab-
lished in 1918 to administer
graduate work and the requirements
for higher degrees in both the College
Park and the Baltimore branches of
the University. The first student was
matriculated into the Graduate School
in September 1919.

The Graduate School offers to quali-
fied students with the bachelor's de-
gree an opportunity to continue their
education by more intensive study and
research in a restricted field.

The Graduate School is the unit of
the University that is most directly re-
sponsible for stimulating research and
for the development of scholarly lead-
ership. It has been called the invisible
university. It permeates nearly all di-
visions and departments of the Univer-
sity but there are very few outward
signs of its existence.

Faculty and Administration

The faculty of the Graduate School
includes all members of the University
faculty at College Park and in the pro-
fessional schools at Baltimore who
offer instruction in approved graduate
courses. The general administrative
functions of the graduate faculty are
delegated to a representative Graduate
Council appointed by the President of
the University. The Dean of the Gradu-

ate School serves as chairman of the

Graduate Council.

Degrees

The University now confers the fol-
lowing advanced degrees: Master of
Arts, Master of Science, Master of
Business Administration, Master of
Arts in American Civilization, Mas-
ter's degree in Foreign Study, Doctor
of Education, and Doctor of Philoso-
phy.

The degree of Piaster of Arts in
American Civilization is unique at the
University of Maryland. Candidates

for this degree are expected to under-
stand the development of American in-
stitutions, and to demonstrate pro-
ficiency in the literary, social, eco-
nomic, and political history of the
United States.

A total of 326 doctor's degrees have
been conferred by the University.
Graduate work leading to the degree
has been confined to fields in which
instructional and research facilities at
the time were adequate for standard
doctor's work. This has led to con-
siderable concentration of doctor's
work in certain fields.

Of the total of 326 doctor's degrees
that have been conferred, 33 percent
were conferred for major work in the
various agricultural fields including
plant physiology, plant pathology and
general botany. The University of
Maryland is favorably located for
graduate and research work in these
fields. The great Beltsville research
laboratories of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture are located

only two miles from the University
campus. The Library and other im-
portant resources of the National
Capital are easily available to stu-
dents at the University of Maryland.
No other institution in the State of-
fers graduate work in agricultural
fields.

Major work in various pharmacy
fields accounted for thirteen percent
of the doctors. No other institution in
the State offers graduate work in these
fields.

Thirty-two percent of the doctors
were chemistry students, including six
in chemical engineering.

In addition to the local facilities for
reseaich in chemistry, the excellent re-
search facilities of the National Bu-
reau of Standards were utilized for the
thesis research of a number of the
doctors in chemistry.

Fourteen percent of the doctor's de-
grees were in the biological sciences
exclusive of botany but including pre-
clinical medical sciences.

All other fields accounted for eight
percent of the total.

This distribution of doctors accord-
ing to fields of study is for the period
from 1920 to 1947 inclusive. This dis-
tribution may be expected to shift con-
siderably during the coming years as
doctor's programs are extended into
new fields.

Doctor's work is limited to depart-
ments that have on their staffs one or
more active research scholars. The de-
partment must also have available
adequate library and laboratory facili-
ties for doctor's research. The most
important consideration of all is the
problem of sufficient leisure for some
qualified members of the staff from
undergraduate instruction so that they
may devote an adequate amount of
time to their own research and to the
research and instruction of prospec-
tive candidates for the doctor's degree.

DR. E. N. CORY

Professor of Entomology.
Member of the Graduate Couneil.

Foreign Study

The Master's degree in Foreign
Study has been established since the war
in recognition of the increasing neces-
sity for the United States to have
available a certain amount of person-
nel trained in foreign languages and
in foreign backgrounds. Most of the
course work for this degree will be
done in Foreign Area Study Centers
under the supervision of University of
Maryland professors. The first loca-
tions are planned for Paris and Zurich.

A minimum of three years of full-
time graduate study or their equiva-
lent in part-time study are required
for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy
but the degree is conferred only upon
sufficient evidence of high attainment
in scholarship in a special field of
knowledge and especially for demon-
strated ability to be independent and
productive research.

Enrollment

The enrollment in the Graduate
School for the academic year 1919-
1920 was thirteen students. This num-
ber increased rapidly and steadily un-
til the pre-war peak was reached in
1940-1941 when the enrollment, includ-

ing the summer session, was 819 dif-
ferent students. A considerable de-
crease occurred during the war years
but with the return of peace and with
the influx of veterans the enrollment
for the academic year 1946-1947, plus
the graduate students in the summer
session of 1946, is in excess of 1500
different students. The enrollment in
the Graduate School is selective, since
it depends not only upon the scholar-
ship qualifications of the applicants
but also upon the quotas established
by various departments. An extra ef-
fort has been made to accommodate
the qualified veterans who apply, espe-
cially the Maryland veterans. The lo-

cation of the University is such that
an unusual demand for part-time
graduate work is to be expected. This
demand has greatly increased since
the war. The high percentage of part-
time students in special late afternoon
and evening courses makes it possible
for the University to carry the pres-
ent high total enrollment of graduate
students.

Foreign Students

Although the majority of our gradu-
ate students in the past have been
products of Maryland colleges and
universities, one or more students
from each of 537 colleges and univer-
sities outside of Maryland have been
admitted to the Graduate School.
Forty-three foreign colleges have also
been represented.

The Graduate School has always had
a few students from foreign countries

but only since the war has the number
of applicants from foreign countries
become a real problem. The various
departments have made an extra ef-
fort to accommodate the best of these
students. Most of the students who
are selected and financed by their own
governments have made exceptional
records in the Graduate School. For-
eign students who have been enrolled
in the Graduate School since the war
include one or more from the follow-
ing countries: Egypt, India, Iran,
Iraq, Canada, China, Greece, Nether-
lands, Spain, France, Turkey, Cuba
and South American countries.

General Functions

A large proportion of the advanced
courses now being offered for elemen-
tary, secondary, and junior college
teachers and administrators especially
during the summer session, are on the
graduate level. Graduate work equiva-

lent to either the master's or the doc-
tor's degree is required of practically
all college and university teachers.
The Graduate School is training young
men and women for careers as college
and university teachers.

One of the chief functions of the
Graduate School is to train men and
women for research and creative scho-
larship. These young people who are
trained in research methods in a spe-
cial field and who have highly special-
ized knowledge in this field are in de-
mand for important positions in gov-
ernment and private research agencies
and in industry. Industry in the fu-
ture will support research on a much
greater scale than in the past and
more highly trained industrial re-
search workers must be supplied by
the graduate schools.

The Graduate School prepares men
and women for many vocations where
highly specialized and expert knowl-
edge is required. This highly special-

ized training in many fields can no
longer be met by the requrements for
the bachelor's degree.

Theses Research

Through the medium of directed dis-
sertation and theses of graduate stu-
dents, there issues from the Graduate
School a constant stream of contribu-
tions to the advancement of knowledge
in many fields and to humanistic cul-
ture. Many of the dissertations and
theses have been based upon investiga-
tions of vital importance to the state.
The students in the physical and bio-
logical sciences have investigated prob-
lems concerned with the public health
of the state and with Maryland indus-
tries, including agriculture. The stu-
dents in education have made many
studies of the public school system of
the State. The students in the social
sciences have made important contri-
butions to the early history of Mary-
land and to social and economic prob-
lems.

Practical Problems

Investigations conducted by gradu-
ate students have included important
practical problems in the following
typical and diverse fields: Animal and
plant breeding, animal and plant hor-
mones, animal and plant growth, ani-
mal and plant pathology, anesthesia,
antibiotics, carbohydrate metabolism,
chemotherapy, edocriology, food poi-
soning, genetics, human nutrition, in-
sect and plant disease control, indus-
trial health hazards, juvenile delin-
quency, land utilization, nutrition of
crop plants, preservation of plant and
animal food products, public health,
radiations, syntheses of new organic
substances of therapeutic and indus-
trial importance, synthesis of pharma-
ceuticals, transportation, vitamine de-
ficiency.

Abstracts

In September 1940 the Graduate
School issued the first volume of a
series of university publications which
contain abstracts of doctor's disserta-
tions and titles of masters' theses. A
volume is published biennially and it
comprises a fairly complete record of
the student research work directed and
supervised by various members of the
faculty named in the publication. Each
volume is distributed to a large num-
ber of college, university and public
libraries and libraries of public and
private research institutions.

Federal Agencies

The research laboratories of the Bu-
reau of Mines and the Fish and Wild
Life Service of the United States De-
partment of Interior are located on the
campus of the University of Maryland.
These laboratories with their person-
nel add very materially to the facili-
ties for graduate work in these and

related fields. The University shares
equally with the Bureau of Mines and
the Fish and Wild Life Service in sup-
porting fellowships for research in
these laboratories.

By a cooperative arrangement a pro-
gram of graduate courses in engineer-
ing, mathematics, physics and chem-
istry is now being offered primarily for
the personnel of the Naval Labora-
tories or Bureaus in the Washington
area. Most of these courses are given
late in the afternoon. Some are offered
in the evening and a few are given Sat-
urday morning.

The Graduate School of the United
States Department of Agriculture and
the Graduate School of the University
of Maryland have developed coopera-
tive arrangements under which certain
resources jf each are made available
to the students of both schools.

Building Mill
Stands. Completofl
In 18116 al Tost of
$10,000

By David L. Brigham

MORRILL HALL, the first science
building on the campus, was
completed in 1896 at a cost of slightly
over $10,000. The designer and director
of construction was Dr. H. B. McDon-
nell, for many years State Chemist and
head of the Chemistry Department at
Maryland.

The building was named for Senator
Morrill of Vermont who initiated the
first land grant act and the first con-
gressional appropriation for agricultur-
al education purposes.

Only $10,000

Several faculty members were invited
to submit plans for a science building.
The design prepared by Dr. McDonnell
was accepted, but the cheapest bid for
construction was $16,000 and funds
available totaled only $10,000. R. W.
Silvester, then president of the Mary-
land Agricultural College, requested Dr.
McDonnell to attempt the construction
with the statement: "We should at least
be able to complete the roof and get the
work under cover."

Two carpenters were hired at a wage
of $50.00 per month. The brick laying
was the only item handled by contract.

and State Chemist. Stiil active in civic affairs

of College Park.

Bricks were used for the foundations
since Portland cement was imported at
that time and was one of the few items
more expensive than the cost at present.
The basement wall is 22" thick, the
first story 18", and the upper part 13"
in width. Outer walls for the top floor
are of frame construction covered by
slate.

From Harford County

Peach bottom slate quarried in Har-
ford County, near the Pennsylvania
line covers the roof. Dr. McDonnell
said, "The roof looks as bright now as
on the day it was laid."

Three by twelve undressed joists of
long leaf Georgia pine were used in
the construction. They were set on a
miter so they would fall inward in the
event the building burned.

The completed building had twelve
class rooms and five offices. The cost
was approximately $100 more than the
$10,000 appropriation.

In the northeast corner of the third
floor, a botany laboratory was located.

[5]

The building contained no plumbing
other than materials needed to provide
steam heat. Students working in the
lab threw water out of the window into
a drain at the top of the second floor.
This leaked onto a plate covering joists
at the top of the brick wall. As a re-
sult, at least two rotted and settled,
necessitating supplemental reinforce-
ments for the building in recent years.

For a number of years the little room
m the tower was used for sleeping
quarters. From one of these windows
may have come the water credited with
rotting the joists.

Turned Chickens Loose

Dr. McDonnell recalls many incidents
of interest in connection with his tenure
in Morrill Hall. At one time the physics
laboratory, located on the south side of
the second floor, became poultry head-
quarters as students turned chickens
loose in the room and departed. The
head of the department at that time
took this as a personal offense and
shortly thereafter resigned. This loca-

tion is now Photographic Headquarters
for J. Julian Chisolm, instructor in
entomology and campus photographer.

On another occasion Dr. McDonnell
entered his class room to conduct a
lecture only to find all the chairs re-
moved and a bull in their place. Dr.
McDonnell says, "Stools had replaced
the chairs." He began the period with
questions and found none of the boys
prepared. They were all given goose
eggs and instructed to return for his
"matinee" if they so desired. The mati-
nee was a make-up period for students
unprepared during the regular class
sessions.

Jusc Ignored Them

At a later date Dr. McDonnell was
detained in his office. When he entered
the lecture room "paper fellows" were
dancing on strings attached to the
ceiling by wads of gum. His report
concerning the incident is, "I gave my
lecture without comment and the boys
were uissappointed when I didn't go
off about their display."

Dr. McDonnell, the only surviving
leader of early science development on
the campus, is a resident of College
Park. A classmate of Dr. H. J. Patter-
son, former president of Maryland State
College, he came to M. A. C. on July 1,
1891, where he served until his retire-
ment in early 1938. His first position
was as Professor of Agricultural Chem-
istry. From 1892 to 1923 Dr. McDonnell
was head of the Department of Chemis-
try and State Chemist. In 1914 he was
appointed Dean of Applied Science and
in 1923 Professor of Research. In 1929
he was made Professor of Agricultural
Chemistry.

Dr. McDonnell first constructed an
addition to the building, which housed
the Chemistry Department, in the low
area south of the present Dining Hall.
The old steps leading down the bank
to the present Music Building and the
foundations to the west of the steps
are two remaining evidences of a pre-
decessor of Morrill Hall.

The University of Maryland campus
boasts many new buildings and more
are being erected but there is a quiet
dignity to the older ones, reminiscent
of other days that contribute to the
proud traditions of Maryland.

HEADS BANDS

Mr. Frank Sykora, Maryland's new Director
of Instrumental Music and head of Student
Band. Student Orchestra and R.O.T.C. Band.

MUSICAL DIRECTOR

The appointment of Frank Sykora
as Director of Instrumental Music at
the University of Maryland, has been
announced by Professor B. Harlan Ran-
dall, Director of Music. Mr. Sykora
will have charge of the Student Band
and the R.O.T.C. band as well as the
student orchestra.

Director Sykora comes to Maryland
from Florida State College where he
organized and led the famous 75 piece
girls' band of that school as well as the
dance orchestra. The Florida girls'
band was rated as one of the best
women's musical organizations in the
United States.

Mr. Sykora, a United States citizen,
is a native of Prague, Czechoslovakia.
He is a violincellist and graduate of
the Imperial Russian Conservatory of

Kiev, where he studied under Prof. F.
von Mulert and R. M. Gliore.

For generations the Sykora family
has been devoted to music. Joseph
Sykora, father of Frank, was known as
a famous bandmaster in the Austrian
Army. Invited to Russia by the Im-
perial Government, he held the post of
Inspector of Army Bands in the South-
western Military Area for 35 years.
In the revolutionary period of 1917 Cap-
tain Joseph Sykora served with the
White Armies of General Kornilov and
Donikin. The White Armies abandoned
Russia in 1920 and Captain Sykora
found himself in his former homeland,
the newly born Republic of Czechoslo-
vakia.

Frank Sykora began his musical edu-
cation at the age of four with the
study of violin. At ten years of age he
entered the Classical Gymnasium and
was selected to play first chair of the
violin section in the Gymnasium orches-
tra. His first public solo appearance
was as a violinist a year later. Piano
and flute were added to his studies and
within a few months his progress on
the flute enabled him to play first flute
in his father's band. The Army award-
ed him the rank of Sergeant for his
musicianship and when free from school
the young thirteen year old Sergeant
acted as Assistant Bandmaster and led
the band while his father was on in-
spection tours.

At fifteen Frank Sykora was sent to
the Conservatory of Prague, Czecho-
slovakia, majoring in piano under Prof.
Kann von Albest. Not wholly satisfied
with the instruments he had studied as
a medium of expression, he chose the
cello.

He enterd the Imperial Conservatory
of St. Petersburg, leaving because of
the rigours of the climate to enroll in
the Imperial Conservatory of Kiev. He
completed the six year course in i918.
While still a student in the artist class,
young Sykora was engaged as Musical
Director and Conductor of the Music
Drama Theatre, Kiev.

Sykora's education was interrupted
for a short time when he served as
Lieutenant Bandmaster in the 48th
Regiment of Imperial Siberian Sharp-

shooters on the Austrian Front in
World War I. He was decorated with
the Order of St. Anna and St. Vladimir
with swords.

Upon the occupation of Kiev by the
Red Armies and the advent of the
Germans, Sykora organized a trio and
was acclaimed a pioneer in the intro-
duction of chamber music to Oriental
audiences. His trio toured Siberia, Ja-
pan, China, indo China and the Philli-
pines.

Arriving in the United States in July
1920, Frank Sykora was engaged by
Eugene Ysaye for the Cincinnati Sym-
phony Orchestra. Since then he held
the position of principal cellist with
major symphony orchestras, and has
also appeared as soloist with orchestras
and over coast to coast radio networks.

In 1941 Sykora took his trio on tour
through nineteen states of this country,
and when World War II made touring
difficult, he accepted the position of
Associate Professor at Florida State
College for Women and Director of
College Bands. He was with the Flori-
da State College from February 1943
to June 1945.

Previous teaching positions were with
the Chicago Conservatory of Music,
Sherwood Music School, Chicago, and
Kansas City Conservatory.

He is a member of Bohemians, Chi-
cago; Pi Kappa Lambda — National
Music Honorary; Florida Music Teach-
ers Association; Florida Bandmasters
Association; American Association of
University Professors.

Mr. Sykora holds the degree of "Free
Artist" from the Russian Imperial Con-
servatory. That is the highest degree
available and corresponds to the degree
of Master of Arts in Music in the
United States.

Some idea of the job Director Sykora
accomplished with the Florida State
College of Women can be gleaned from
the following press quotations: —

"The Florida State College for Wo-
men band, under the direction of Frank
Sykora brought down the house when
it presented its second annual spring
concert. The picturesque garnet and
gold band gave a stirring and hearten-
ing musical performance which fully
lived up to the beauty and color of its
appearance. From presentation of
colors to the final encore the audience
was completely captivated, and their
enthusiasm was so unbounded that the
concert ended with the unusual circum-
stance of requests from the audience.

"Sykora's showmanship and ability
were impressive as he led the 70 girls
in the music of many nations.

"During the first number-the French
Military March-the six drum majorettes
of the band appeared in a snappy drill
which added immeasureably to the color
of the occasion.

"Persistent applause from the large

audience brought Sykora back to the
stage again and again, until in reply
to called requests from the audience he
led the band in playing again the Carib-
bean Fantasy (Morrissey) to close the
show."

16,644 STUDENTS

A summary of student enrollment
for the scholastic year 1946-1947 re-
leased by Miss Alma H. Preinkert,
Registrar at the University of Mary-
land and including both the College
Park and Baltimore schools shows a
total enrollment of 11,050 students.

There were, from Maryland, 7,541
enrollments of which number 5,572
were at College Park and 1,969 at Bal-
timore.

From the District of Columbia there
were 1,706 at College Park and 26 in
Baltimore for a total of 1,732.

Every State in the Union was rep-
resented in the University's enroll-
ment with 1,214 out of state students
at College Park and 458 in Baltimore,
for a total of 1,672.

Sixty-two students came from be-
yond the continental limits of the
United States to the College Park
schools and 43 to the Baltimore

POOR CROP

A. F. Vierheller,\Extension Horticul-
turist at the University of Maryland,
reports that the usual summer meeting
of the Maryland Fruit Growers' Asso-
ciation was canceled because of the
poor fruit crop in most parts of Mary-
land.

However, the association members
and all Maryland fruit growers re-
ceived an invitation to meet with the
Adams County, Pennsylvania fruit
growers at a field day and demonstra-
tion meeting at the South Mountain
Fair Grounds, Arendtsville, Pennsyl-
vania.

TOBACCO

Almost as soon as early Maryland
settlers had firmly established them-
selves they engaged in the business of
tobacco raising. Tobacco was then ac-
cepted as money, and Lord Baltimore
had pledged the colonists entire free-
dom from taxation.

MARYLAND'S SHIPLEYS

The Shipleys of Maryland, descen-
dants of Adam Shipley who settled in
the Province of Maryland in 1668, held
their 23rd consecutive reunion in
Ritchie Coliseum, University of Mary-
land.

Eight hundred members of the clan,
which numbers about 2000 in Mary-
land alone, gathered for a day-long
program which was highlighted by an
address by Congressman Lansdale G.
Sasscer of Maryland. H. Burton Ship-
ley, Maryland's veteran baseball coach,
attended the reunion.

Adam Shipley entered rights to a
500-acre tract of land in 1669, and
raised five sons and two daughters
from whom the Shipleys of Maryland
are descended.

One of the most closely knit fami-
lies in the country, the Shipleys have
attained prominence in medicine, the
ministry, and as tillers of the soil.
Abraham Lincoln's mother was a de-
scendant of Adam Shipley.

"9* /Zoom A 312"

HISTORIC MARYLAND PAINTINGS

HE GRANTED MARYLAND'S CHARTER

King Charles I. Grantor of Maryland's Original Charter, is depicted in a painting by Professor
Maurice R. Siegler, who explains the painting to an interested student.

ON the top floor of the Arts and
Sciences Building 1 at the Univer-
sity of Maryland, door 312 is tightly
locked and inaccessible to any but a
favored few. You observe, while you
are trying to regain your breath after
the long climb, that it is unlike the
other doors on the floor which are all
furnished with small squarish glassed
in apertures through which one may
look and see the classes in session.
This heavy impenetrable door opens to
a vast store room which contains all
sorts of amazing secrets.

Like Antique Shop

I had occasion, one day, to be on the
third floor, when I suddenly became
aware that 312 was slightly ajar. Over-
powered by curiosity, I pushed the
door open and stepped in. What greet-
ed my eyes was something like a cross
between a disorganized art museum and
an antique shop.

There were piles of early American
furniture and furnishings of every de-
scription, — -old chairs and tables, a
grandfather's clock, huge four poster

beds, antique cabinets, lamps, and in-
numerable other things. There was
even an old spinning wheel and an
ancient harp with its few remaining
strings, loose and tangled. "Ross-
borough Inn," I murmured uncon-
sciously, wondering if these were the
original furnishings of the old Inn on
the campus which had served as a
museum before the war came and neces-
sitated utilizing the space for more
urgent purposes.

From Rossborough Inn?

"Yes, all this must belong to the
Rossborough Inn," came repeated in my
ear, and I looked behind me, startled.
It wis a student who had been at-
tracted into this forbidden area. I
grinned guiltily, and we continued our
surreptitious browsing.

"This caught my eye and tempted me
to dare explore further," he said. What
he referred to was a huge full-length
painting which, he soon discovered, had
a companion piece and on the brass
title plates attached to the frames, were
the names of King Charles, the first, of

Valuable Contri-
bution To Maryland
Art

England and Henrietta Maria, his
queen. There were seven more paint-
ings there, all portraits of historical
personages, judging by their costumes
and the title plates on their frames.

"This is what I came to see," my
companion observed. "I remember
reading about these paintings in the
newspapers, about six or eight months
ago."

Well — once a professor — always a
professor. Here was a ready made
audience.

"There are a number of portraits of
the founders of the state of Maryland,
and others connected with the early
days of the state which have been re-
cently painted for the University of
Maryland," I began. "The portraits,
copied from similar paintings in the
State House in Annapolis, were com-
pleted during the past year by Maurice
R. Siegler, the head of the newly creat-
ed Department of Fine Arts at the
University of Maryland. . . ."

"You're quoting," he interrupted, "I
remember reading that."

King Charles I

"Among the poitraits designed to de-
corate the walls of the Administration
Building," I continued, unperturbed,
"and a few others, will be those of King
Charles the First of England, who
signed a charter to the first Lord Balti-
more in 1632 granting him territorial
possession of what is now Maryland,
and his wife, Henrietta Maria, daught-
er of King Henry IV of France and
another portrait of Queen Anne of Eng-
land, a granddaughter of King Charles
the first, for whom Annapolis was
named.

"Other portraits include George Cal-
vert, the first lord of Baltimore, Leon-
ard Calvert, his second son and a colon-
ial governor; Sir Robert Eden, one of
the last of the colonial governors and
ancestor of the present day England's
Anthony Eden; William Paca, a signer
of the Declaration of Independence and
one of the first real governors of the
state; and Thomas Stone, another
signer of the Declaration of Indepen-

dence and State Senator and
jurist. . . ."

The student apparently knew that
there was nothing to do when a pro-
fessor starts talking — except listen !

"I always wondered." he said a trifle
weakly, "how an artist goes about copy-
ing — or reproducing — a painting. Does
he try to copy it exactly — or does he
put his own interpretation on it — or
what."

I thought for a moment and then
answered. "Prom what I have been
able to gather, the artist who under-
takes to copy the work of another ar-
tist, cannot help projecting something
of himself into the copy. It is quite
unconcious, of course, and certainly in-
voluntary, but that is the difference be-
tween a human and a mechanism.

On High Wall

"In this case, I am sure the artist had
a great many problems. For instance,
the paintings at the State House are
hung high on the walls so as to neces-
sitate considerable climbing up and
down ladders to study details. Most
of the paintings are very poorly lighted,
besides. But, what must have been
the greatest problem is the fact that
time has undoubtedly changed and
darkened the original colors of the
paintings. The artist, therefore, was
bound to draw from his imagination
and use his knowledge and experience.
— probably even do some considerable
research in the museums and the li-
braries."

It was growing late. To the bitter
end the student was polite. He
thanked me for the unrehearsed and
unexpected preview of the paintings—
and we left.

DR. JOHN E. FOSTER

The appointment of John Erwin Fos-
ter as head of the Animal Husbandry
Department at the University of Mary-
land was announced by Dr. T. B. Sy-
mons, Dean of the College of Agricul-
ture and Director of the Extension Ser-
vice.

Dr. Foster was reared on an 800 acre
livestock farm near Jefferson, Ashe
County, North Carolina and worked as
assistant manager and as manager of
the farm for a number of years before
entering college. He graduated from
the N. C. State College at Raleigh in
1926 and received a Master's degree
from Kansas State College, Manhatten.
Kansas in 1929 and a Ph.D. degree in
Animal Husbandry from Cornell Uni-

sheep, swine, draft horses, and mules.

The research which he has conducted
with beef cattle production includes
studies on : protein supplements for
winter range, vitamin A supplements
for cottonseed meal rations, forest graz-
ing for beef cattle, and quality of meat
from native and grade yearling cattle.

Studies on swine production include
a report on vitamin A deficiency as a
cause of lameness and death among
swine, a bulletin on the cost of raising
pigs to weaning age. and a comparison
of protein supplements for fattening
pigs. His work with sheep includes
bulletins on : the changes in meat and
wool characteristics which resulted
from the use of purebred mutton rams
on native ewes, sanitation as a method
of controlling stomach worms in lambs,
and on the control of internal parasites
in sheep.

Foster's judging experience dates
back to his college days when he was
a member of both the livestock and
crops judging teams. In the latter con-
test at the International Livestock Show
in Chicago, he was high man in the
contest and made the highest individual
score ever made in the contest up to

[9]

that time. He has been author or co-
author of 24 bulletins in addition to
articles in agricultural publications.

At the University of Maryland, Dr.
Foster will direct extension, research,
and resident instruction in Animal Hus-
bandry, an industry which is impor-
tant in many parts of Maryland. Recent
figures show that the number of beef
cows kept for breeding purposes in the
state has nearly doubled since 1940
from 8,000 to more than 16,000. There
are approximately 240.000 head of
swine, and about 46,000 sheep in Mary-
land.

Foster replaces Fred H. Leinbach
who resigned several months ago to
become president of South Dakota
State College.

MESSAGE TO THE CLASS OF '47

IT has been customary these many
years for elderly Commencement
Day orators such as myself to ex-
pound to you your manifest duty. You
have been solemnly adjured to go forth
(Depart From These Hallowed Halls
Of Learning) and, armed with your
baccalaureate degree, save the world.
After making this modest request the
orator generally felt that re-enforced
satisfaction which comes of delivering
irreproachable sentiments and then
transferring their execution to some-
body else.

All these exhortations notwithstand-
ing, a quick continent-to-continent poll
reveals a still unsaved world. That is
because the elderly orators have been
making a demand that could not pos-
sibly be met even by those college grad-
uates most likely to succeed. The ora-
tors have wanted you at once to trans-
form this punchdrunk planet into a
heavenly Utopia.

The $64.00 Question

I shall today entreat you more rea-
sonably. I shall not plead with you to
become angelically virtuous men and
women, for I see no grounds upon which
I may demand more virtue from you
than I do from myself. More important,
by what right do I ask you to be angels
wnen 1 am not so positive that you will
long be men and women? And in that
£64 question, sweet girl graduates and
bright boy graduates, is hid the theme
of my discourse.

For this is Commencement Day ; but
whether it marks the commencement of
your mature flowering or the commence-
ment of your decline and fall lies open
to grave conjecture. Be patient then
for a few minutes as we endeavor
roughly to chart your tomorrow, trying
to say whether it be the prelude to a
fruitful future or but the final term in
that long series, the past.

Did Not Breathe Forever

You have learned that today the Ro-
man scepter throws but a faint shadow
across the dusty pages of your history
books. You are aware that the body of
feudalism, though it breathed for cen-
turies, did not breathe forever. The
edifices of all civilizations, however
magnificent, contain in some corner a
spare room enclosing a death bed; and
the Pyramids, gigantically thrown up
to evidence the arrogance of empire,
have dwindled to the status of organ-
ized rubble. Yet few of us can seri-

ously conceive our culture to be no less
subject to mortality, just as no one,
except the philosopher and the saint,
really believes that he will die.

It is almost impossible, is it not,
for you even to play with the pos-
sibility that, for some ages to come,
yours may be the last generation of
civilized Western man. Yet unless you
play with that possibility and incorpo-
rate it into your thinking, you are un-
prepared for life. It does not matter
that you are a Deke. It does not matter
that your father is holding ready a
desk for you in his brokerage house.
It does not even matter that you are
an All-American fullback (much less,
of course, that you are a Phi Beta
Kappa). Unless you realize that you
are part of a civilization, which during
your own time must either change or
die, you are unprepared for life and
your college career has been a waste of
effort and money.

Not Always Wrong

You are young; you do not possess
much past and are not possessed by it
as we, your elders, are by ours. We
know a great deal, and most of what
we know is now wrong — though it
was not always wrong. You youngsters
know much less; hence you are capable
of learning what is now right. It is
easier for a young man to accept the
possibility of a basic change in the uni-
verse than for an old one to accept the

View of the Campus, looking East toward the centered Administration Building.

WHO REMEMBERS?

Those good old days have gone forever and many of the familiar campus scenes have gone with them. This silent, shaded pool that nestled
beside the old infirmary could tell many tales of spring afternoons and summer nights.

possibility of a slight change in
his club regulations. So I will now re-
peat what all my equally platitu-
dinous predecessors on this platform
have always said : You Are The Hope
Of The Future.

What future?

Here, as some see it, is one possible
future, sketchily outlined in three gen-
eral statements:

Is This the Future?

1. A fairly large proportion of the
world's children, women, and men, in-
cluding particularly those who by ac-
cident inhabit the planetary area
roughly 30° N. by 50° N. latitude,
70° W. by 125° W. longitude, will
during the next decade or two die pre-
mature and unnatural deaths.

2. The technical and industrial base
on which "advanced" peoples like our-
selves rest will be gravely and perhaps
fatally disrupted.

3. The system of ideas and incen-

tives (call it Western Civilization)
which is what really sustains us will
be wrecked, to be replaced by a new
system. This new system — which is as
old as the Egypt of the Pharaohs, for it
is merely tyranny in modern clothes — ■
will offer the richest nourishment to two
extreme types of living organisms:
near-paranoiacs and human automata.

Toward these three statements — actu-
ally they are indivisible — you may adopt
one of the three attitudes, each involv-
ing a particular line of conduct. First,
you may reject them as absurd. Second,
you may accept them with resignation
or approval. Third, you may investi-
gate them.

The Usual Routine

First yon may reject the statements
as absurd. In that case you will en-
deavor to lead much the kind of life
that our present culture holds out as
desirable. It is the kind of life I and
millions of my fellow Americans have
been leading.

The Main Features
You are probably familiar with its
main features: commercial competi-
tion; the accumulation of money, ob-
jects, and insurance policies; the pur-
suit of passive diversion (spectacle-
sports, movies, radio, magazine-and-
newspaper reading) ; clique-gregarious-
ness (the club, the labor union, the
church) ; the attainment of respect-
ability (well-dressed wife, well man-
nered children, well-invested securi-
ties) ; the shunning of political activity
together with a liking for political con-
versation ; a preference for angle-figur-
ing over rational thought; respect for
law, automatic gearshifts, order, clean-
liness, mother, individual initiative,
business, busyness, people like our-
selves, and all successful folk, including
cinema stars, radio comics, and politi-
cal, industrial, and labor leaders with
top-flight Neanderthal minds.

There is nothing harmful about this
life, and I am far from deriding it.

WHITE FACED HEREFORD CATTLE

Part of one of Maryland University's Fine Herds.

It is, except as regards the well-invest-
ed securities, the one I myself for many,
many years been leading. It is a life
which, for all its absurdities, has hidden
in it the seeds of freedom and ultimate
decency. There is only one thing the
matter with it: unless the evidence is
false, you will not be allowed to live it
much longer.

A Mild Coma

Second, you may accept the state-
ments with resignation or pleasure. If
you are resigned and your glands are
on the quiet side, your cue is merely to
drift along in a kind of mild coma. If
you are resigned and your glands are
lively, you will adhere, as so many in the
past have done under roughly similar
circumstances, to the philosophy of carpe
diem, dancing your rumba at the foot of
a volcano.

If you should welcome these state-
ments, not with resignation but with
approval, you need have no fear of
standing alone. There are quantities of
people, known as realists, in all coun-
tries who have already in their minds,
written off one or more atomic and
ultra-atomic wars to come. Professors
have written books suavely explaining
both the inevitability and the propriety
of the ant heap state. The German, Os-
wald Spengler, was such a professor,
and we have some of them in our own

country. Generals have calmly accepted
the probability of the death of 25,000,-
000 of our population as the unfortu-
nate but necessary result of a sudden at-
tack. Publishers and journalists of the
Goebbels type — a type not in the least
peculiar to Germany — look forward
with interest to a social order in which
the minds of human beings may be
manipulated at will. They are already
varming up for the game.

Not All Love Freedom

It is a grave error to assume that
all men love freedom. Many have a
deep passion for dictatorship, whether
it be the small dictatorship of the fam-
ily, or the vast dictatorship of a whole
country. Many more have a deep pas-
sion for servility. The first group loves
irresponsibility; the second, no respon-
sibility. Both groups — how expensively
this was rehearsed for us in Germany
between 1933 and 1945 — must hate de-
tached thought and what is loosely call-
ed culture.

The reason is clear: if one thinks
long enough one is bound to conclude
that freedom is a good. Plato said it
long ago: "As there are misanthropists
or haters of men, so also are there mi-
sologists or haters of ideas." And the
two, you might add, are one.

Perhaps you are such a misanthro-
pist-misologist. Do not hesitate to con-

fess it, for you will find yourself in the
company of some of the greatest and
most famous men in history. Indeed,
for long intervals the world has been
owned and operated by such men, the
power men, the strong men, the shrewd
men, the angle-figurers, the accumula-
tors.

Study Yourself

If you feel in yourself an irrepress-
ible dislike of, or contempt for, people
who do not resemble you in race, color,
religion, manners, economic background,
social behavior; if to your inward vi-
sion humanity seems to be or should be
arranged in a fixed, hiearchical order;
if you are confident that the application
of sufficient force will solve any prob-
lem; if the idea of violence subtly fills
some of your unconfessed daydreams;
if the notion of obeying a "superior"
supplies you with a secret comfort; if
ir your judgement mankind has worked
itself into such a complicated mess that
salvation can come about only through
the imposition of "order;" if you are
heartily sick of the words nobody
understands, such as democracy, free-
dom, justice; if you are intrigued by
the words everybody understands, such
as success, power, security; if in the
depths of your heart you feel that the
idea men, from Socrates and Jesus
down to your own philosophy professor,

1^]

are but a procession of futile windbags ;
if these suppositions awaken in you a
positive response, then you will prob-
ably be a happy and useful citizen of
that future state so well characterized
by H. G. Wells as a human termitar-
ium.

In that case — for it is my duty as a
Commencement Day orator to proffer
helpful advice — I would urge you to
work as hard as possible to bring the
next war about, making sure that the
"victory" will be ours. But in your
proper zeal to destroy the foreign ene-
my, do not lose sight of the more in-
sidious enemy at home. That enemy is
the detached intelligence, and you must
do everything you can to lower its pres-
tige.

A Brilliant Future

You must, for example, vigorously
attack those men and women who are
subject to the absurd delusion that
there is some nobility in every indivi-
dual. You must — but you hardly need
specific counsels; your own sound,
healthy instincts will tell you which
side to choose, which men to eultivats.
which phrases to utter, which measures
to support, and which office-seekers to
elect. And, should the atomic bombs
miss you, and the killing emanations
and germs and poison gases and clouds
of fire — should you survive all this, I
predict for you a brilliant future. You
will end up as master or slave in either
case you will feel just dandy.

However, it may turn out that you

wish to serve as neither master nor
slave — for both are servile, each being
the prisoner of an unnatural relation-
ship. It may be that you neither accept
nor reject the dark future I have
sketched. Schooled, as I presume you
have been, in the methods of free in-
quiry, you may prefer a third alterna-
tive. You may prefer to investigate the
statements. You will then seek to de-
termine, first, the degree of probability
of their truth; and, second, the methods,
in case that degree is found danger-
ously high, of averting the catastrophe
they picture.

Dismal News

Very well. We will start with some
dismal news. You hav-e just spent four
years in an atmosphere of books and
studies, at least in part. You are
doubtless eager to step out of this at-
mosphere into what is loosely called
"practical life."

Such an eagerness is quite under-
standable. But there is a catch to it.
To determine whether that "practical
life" is to continue (otherwise there's
not much sense, is there, in rushing in-
to it?) you will have to go back at
once to the very thing you have just
left behind : the world of thought.

I am not underestimating the diffi-
culty of your task, for there is nothing
harder than fundamental thinking —
and that is the requirement for this
course, which we may call Survival One
and Two. Those who do not care to
elect this postgraduate course need lis-

ten no longer. They should remember,
however, that they have thrown away
some of their chances of persisting as
free men and women who are slowly on
the way to become civilized men and
women also.

The Atom

To the die-hard rest of you: first you
must study something you cannot see,
touch, taste, smell, or hear : the atom.
To do this read Selig Hecht's book Ex-
plaining the Atom (The Viking Press,
18 East 48th Street, New York). This
will require about 12 hours of concen-
trated work: like all good books, Ex-
plaining the Atom is clear but not easy.
After these 12 hours, you will know
more about atomic energy than virtu-
ally all our representatives in Congress,
most of our other officials, and most of
our military leaders; for you will know
that there is unfortunately no "secret,"
as supposed, to the manufacture of
atomic bombs.

Next you must study Hiroshima. Not
the event, which is what the newsreels
and picture magazines are so anxious
to convey to you, but the meaning of
the event which, as they do not make a
specialty of reflection, they are not
quite so able to convey to you. Your
study of the meaning of Hiroshima can
best be started by dropping a postcard
to the National Committee on Atomic-
Information, 1749 L Street N.W.,
Washington 6. D. C, asking for a list
of their study materials. Some of these
materials are free; the rest — including

a year's subscription to the Bulletin of
the Atomic Scientists — add up to an in-
vestment of exactly $6.50, approximate-
ly the price of two tickets to the movies
plus four drinks afterwards. As a conse-
quence of your reading you will come to
many conclusions about the bomb.

War or Genocide

One of the conclusions will be that
it is less a weapon of war than a
method of genocide. You will reflect on
the meaning of the difference that one
will now find between war and genocide.

Now you must on your own do a
little research into the history of inven-
tion. From this you should emerge
with one idea: that the atomic bomb is
merely one of a series of more lethal
weapons to come. You will link this
fact with another, which you will find
demonstrated by the researchers of the
best of modern historians: that im-
provements in the art of war tend to ac-
company setbacks in civilization. The
greater the improvement, apparently,
the greater the setback.

You have now in theory completed the
preliminary work required in our
course, Survival One and Two. It is
not my purpose today to lay out a cur-
riculum of advanced studies, for you
are bound to perceive its proper direc-
tion. I will, however, outline two gen-
eral conclusions that your elementary
studies are apt to suggest to you.

Symbol of Hiroshima

The first is that Hiroshima symbo-
lizes one of the most crucial events in
recorded history. It symbolizes man's
formal announcement not merely of his
ability but of his apparent willingness
to make an end of himself. You will
conclude that, if svici ie is to b? avoided.
a fundamentally new relationship will
have to be established among men, na-
tions, and the physical energy that
science has released. That new rela-
tionship you will yourself have to de-
termine. This will take laborious read-
ing; plus a great deal of stripped, un-
compromising thought. Dull work — but
there's no way out of it.

Your second general con lus ; on is
equally important. By and large you
will find that the most sensible — if also
the most frightening — statements about
the meaning of Hiroshima seem to have
been uttered by the "impractical" men,
such as scientists, educators, philoso-
phers, and writers. The fuzziest state-
ments, with some honorable exceptions,
seem to have come from the "practical"
men in all countries.

Think Detachedly

A little reflection will give you the
reason for this odd circumstance. By
the very nature of their jobs (research
into the truth) the impractical men are
accustomed to think detachedly ; to think,
at least as compared with the rest
of us, in terms of all time and all

space. Once in a great while this kind
of thinking becomes necessary, not for
the long run — it is always necessary for
that — but for the short run. Now is
one of those times.

Practical men, by the nature of their
jobs (action in terms of the present
plus a short-term future), are accus-
tomed to think expediently. Expedi-
ent thinking, conditioned by the prac-
tical men's perfectly understandable
fidelities to a particular time and place,
is unfortunately unequal to the task of
solving the problems raised by Hiro-
shima.

Hence you will probably place more
emphasis on the ideas of certain phil-
osophers, historians, educators, and
scientists than on the utterances of
commissars, foreign secretaries and edi-
torial writers. In time you will learn
to separate almost by instinct pre-Hiro-
shima thinking from post-Hiroshima
thinking.

Hiroshima Thinkers

One odd thing you will discover — this
will be confusing at first — is that pre-
Hiroshima thinkers can be contempo-
rary, and post-Hiroshima thinkers may
have been dead for a long time. For
example, Molotov and Thomas E.
Dewey strike me as pre-Hiroshima,
whereas Plato is surprisingly post-
Hiroshima in his ideas.

By the time you have reached this
point you will be an altered human
being. Certain qualities that are pre-
cious and lovable you will perhaps in
part have lost — vigorous optimism, easy
gaiety, and maybe, though Heaven for-
bid, humor. That is the penalty you
must pay for being part of the most
terrible of all recorded centuries.

You will have become, not a pessi-
mist, but a man or woman with a sense
of tragedy. You will have become big
enough (your studies in time and space
will have enlarged you) to conceive as a
real thing the possibility of a major
cataclysm, comparable in its effects to
the coming of an ice age. When you
are transformed into this altered hu-
man being, you will be able to think of
methods of averting the cataclysm — but
not before.

Some of you — I hope all of you — will
have formed a new view of politics.
You may even want to enter the field,
determined to transform it from an
arena of power-manipulation to an
agency for the just and rational
governing of human beings.

At this point I must cease my ex-
hortation. I cannot tell you what to do
next. What you do will flow out of what
you are. If the scale of your thinking
has become sufficiently great, the scale
of your actions will be correspondingly
great. That the actions must be great
and not small, rooted in the future, not
in the past, is obvious from the cir-
cumstance that our present dilemma is

great and not small, unique and not
traditional.

This is Commencement Day.

It is time to commence!

EARLY RELIGION

The first English Catholic Church in
America was founded in 1634, in St.
Mary's County.

The first Presbyterian Church, 1688,
was in Somerset County.

It is claimed that the first Methodist
Protestant Church in this county was
in Worcester County.

REAL RELIGION

Religion is as necessary to reason
as reason is to religion. The one can-
not exist without the other. A reason-
ing being would lose his reason, in at-
tempting to account for the great phe-
nomena of nature, had he not a Su-
preme Being to refer to: and well has
it been said, that if there had been
no God, mankind would have been
obliged to imagine one.— Washington.

DDT FOR DOGS

The use of DDT dust was cited by
E. N. Cory, head of Entomology De-
partment at the University of Mary-
land, as a low-cost and practical pro-
tection against the dog tick. These
ticks, also commonly known as wood
ticks, are carriers of the Rocky Moun-
tain Spotted Fever.

"We recommend a light dusting of
grass, weeds and shrubs at the rate
of 2 to 4 pounds of a 10 per cent DDT
powder to the acre," he said. "This can
be used in small areas, such as back
yards, and children's play grounds, at
the rate of one ounce to 1000 square
feet."

Dr. Cory explained that the dog ticks
are especially active in spring and early
summer and recommended that one
dusting be made early in the season
with a second dusting later if ticks are
discovered in the area. He pointed out
that it is particularly important to do a
job of dusting or spraying along the
edges of roads and paths. This is
necessary because ticks seem to migrate
toward the road or path, apparently
attracted by the scent of animals or
human beings.

Dr. Cory stressed that the ticks carry
the spotted fever virus and stated
mothers have been advised to make a
daily inspection of children who have
been playing in woods or fields or have
been in contact with dogs. The ticks are
most likely to be found at the edge of
the hairline. An evening inspection is
satisfactory because the tick does not
ordinarily transmit the disease until it
has been attached for from five to six
hours. They should be removed without
crushing, preferably by tweezers.

Relationship Between Study And Job

IN the Fall of 1945 the University of
Maryland Sociology Club, at the
suggestion of Dr. Peter P. Lejins, the
advisor, undertook the present research
to determine the relationship between
college studies and job opportunities af-
ter graduation. The study is the first of
its kind directed by the Sociology Club, a
student organization at the University,
whose membership consists of majors
and minors in Sociology.

It was hoped that this informa-
tion would be available as a guide
to students in curriculum planning at
the University and in preparation for
employment opportunities. Those di-
lectly connected with the survey ac-
quired excellent personal experience as
well as knowledge of research tech-
niques.

Miss Preinkert

By April 3, 1946, a committee had
completed the collection of names and
addresses from the Registrar's office of
all social science majors graduated from
the College of Arts and Sciences in the
years 1935-1945. (Appreciation is ex-
tended to Miss Alma H. Preinkert,
Registrar, who cooperated generously
in making her records available.) The
letter and questionnaire were then for-
mulated with the aid of Dr. Lejins and
Dr. Charles E. Hutchinson, members of
the Sociology Department staff.

To 454 Graduates

Questionnaires were mailed to the 454
graduates of the College of Arts and
Sciences with Social science majors
(Economics, History, Political Science,
Psychology, Sociology.) One hundred
and fifty-eight, or slightly over one-
third of the forms, were returned be-
tween April 10 and June 13, 1946.
Response to the survey was gratifying;
for those who answered indicated their
genuine interest in the project by their
lemarks and by the excellent return of
over one-third of the questionnaires, a
response especially favorable for this
type of research since many letters
were not delivered due to changes of
address in a ten year period. Replies
were received from all parts of the
United States and from South America,
Mexico, and Canada as well. The ma-
jority of the forms were completely
filled out and 158 were to be used in the
analysis which follows.

Due to an error on the part of the
workers, a group of 30 questionnaires
was misplaced — an error that would,
of course, invalidate many of the pro-

ject's conclusions. A second question-
naire was mailed to 58 graduates, 28 of
whom answered, thus giving a total of
156 questionnaires to be used with still
over one-third return. This was done to
replace the lost questionnaires since it
was known which sequence of forms
were missing. This second group, in-
cluding all the female Psychology ma-
jors and a few male Economics and
Political Science majors, completely fill-
out their forms but were not so help-
ful as at first in the substance of their
remarks. This second group is typified
rather by the absence of remarks. The
last of these returns arrived the end of
September, 1946, and were tabulated
with the previous returns.

Analysis of Answers

Seventy-five men graduates, 47 of
whom are married, and 28 single an-
swered the questionnaire, while 81 wo-

married and 38 single — making a grand

Miss Feldman, who graduated from Maryland
University in June, 1947, majored in Sociology

total of 156 answers. The total age
range is from 21 years to 36 — 23-36
for men; 21-33 for the women. The
median for the men is 27 years, and
for the women, 25 years.

1943 Model Year

The model year of graduation for the
women is 1943, from which class 20
answered; while 1941 is the average
graduation year of the males. The
graduation by graduation years is very
definite for the females — starting with
only two replies from the year 1935
and gradually building up to 20 in 1943.
The male picture analysis by gradua-
tion year differs in that there is no
such marked graduation, for the fre-
quencies are just about the same —
starting with five until they reach 1941
tvith that, plus 1942 and 1943 combined
totaling 32 persons.

Sociology majors outnumber other
social science majors in the number of
answering female graduates with a to-
tal of 39 women, followed by history
with 16 and psychology with 15. Male
graduates are about equally divided be-
tween economics and political science
with 26 and 27 majors in each respec-
tively. The preponderance of men in
political science probably results from
the selection of this major by pre-law
students.

work. A total of 34 persons — 14 male
and 20 female — started their college
work at one or more other schools.

Twenty-two men and 14 women took
graduate work — seven in law, seven in
psychology, five in economics, seven
in political science, six in sociology and
five in history. Twenty people took
graduate work in professional schools ,
while 20 more went for further
education, 12 in the field of their
undergraduate major, and eight pur-
suing a new field. Thus, it seems
that the curriculum should provide
specialized preparation for professional
work and for graduate study. Seven
had secured master's degrees at the
time of the study; but none had com-
pleted a doctor's degree, although one
person was in the process of attaining

[»]

it. Of 11 completed professional de-
grees, 10 were in the field of law. and
one in the ministry. Twenty—two per-
sons were engaged in occupations di-
rectly related to their graduate majors.
Of the 36 who took graduate work. 14
studied at the University of Maryland,
while 22 attended other institutions.

Occupations

The occupations most frequently re-
corded are listed below.

Those who majored in political
science and history were more frequent-
ly employed in occupations unrelated
to their majors than was the case with
those who majored in other social
sciences.

In the distribution of occupations ac-
cording to major subject, the recording:
is as follows: Sociology majors most
frequently secured employment as so-
cial workers, with a few engaged in
personnel work, research, teaching and
secretarial and typing work. The few
men who majored in sociology were con-
centrated in teaching. Personnel work
and psychometry were the favored em-
ployments of psychology majors. Those
trained in political science became eco-
nomists in Federal or State Adminis-
trations, managers or supervisors, at-
torneys, and adjusters and abstractors
for insurance concerns. Most history ma-
jors turned to teaching positions, with a
few doing social work and sales work.
Male graduates trained in economics be-
came supervisors or managers, workers

Looking Toward the Main Gate at Colleee Park

for insurance companies, salesmen and
buyers, and industrial engineers. Wo-
men economics majors were principally
engaged in research and legal secre-
tarial work. Positions held by these
graduates are approximately of the
same rank for all majors. However,
each major seems to lead to definite
occupations. Throughout, the women,
regardless of major, occupy secretarial
and clerical positions, while it must be
understood that a majority of the men
were occupied with military duties in
the second World War.

Subjects Helpful

The undergraduate subject selected

courses most frequently mentioned as
being helpful were Personnel Psy-
chology, Applied Psychology, Mental
Hygiene, and Tests and Measurements.

Thirty-five people, or 22%, answered
that sociology was particularly helpful,
with Social Case Work heading the list
of specified courses and Juvenile De-
linquency and Criminology following in
popularity. Thirty-four people, or 21' < .
designated English as being helpful and
creative courses in the English curri-
culum in particular.

Economics was regarded by 29 stu-
dents, or 18 r ;, as the most helpful sub-

Courses Mentioned

When asked what subjects not taken
as an undergraduate they would recom-
mend to one planning to enter their
held, the graduates mentioned courses
that were more remotely related to

VF-12,13

their occupation but appropriate to
their needs as individuals. The answers
were generally for more advanced work
in these courses, or better constructed
or taught courses.

Psychology, with the emphasis on Ap-
plied Psychology, headed the list, with
economics almost on a par with it.
Business courses, accounting, mathema-
tics, "better" statistics, more philoso-
phy, more history, a more practical ap-
proach to sociology — in field experience
and advanced case work — law, political
science, engineering courses, science —
mainly physics — English, languages,
geography, home economics, library
science, and education were also recom-
mended. Several mentioned that gen-
eral courses were better in giving one a
broader picture.

Detailed Groups

Analysis of recommendations made
by the eight largest occupational
groups are as follows:

The Lawyers say economics and poli-
tical science courses were the subjects
they took that were helpful to them —
with history, speech, and psychology
also mentioned. The subjects that they
would now recommend that they did
not take as undergraduates are soci-
ology, philosophy, lots more English,
economics, business, and accounting.

F.B.I. People

F. B. I. investigators mention Eng-
lish primarily as having been helpful,
with American History, accounting,
Business Law, economics, criminology
and Juvenile Delinquency aiding greatly.
They indicated that all courses are sig-
nificant in giving a well-rounded basis
tor law. They would now take Business
coui ses, PJconomics and Accounting. Per-
sonnel Management and English.

Personnel workers would Lake psy-
chology first and foremost with the top
course being Personnel, and then Ap-

plied Psychology, with some Psycho-
technology, Statistics, and Psychology
of Personality and Mental Hygiene,
much Political Science — especially Pub-
lic Administration — Social Case Work,
Labor Economics, and just a general
blending of Psychology and Sociology —
for some said that specialized courses
are not too worthwhile. The personnel
workers would also take Public Admin-
istration, Economics, elementary Mathe-
matics, better Statistics, and more
courses in industrial and human rela-
tions.

Would Take Statistics

The economists found that Economics,
Government, Mathematics and Account-
ing were helpful, while now they would
decidedly take more Statistics, Eco-
nomics, and some Logic, Mathematics,
and research techniques.

The reporters and editors feel that
creative work in the English curricu-
lum, Political Science and extra-curri-

cular activities are the most helpful in
their work, plus Speech, Radio and So-
cial Studies, and are in favor now of
Business Administration primarily,
more History, modern political phil-
osophy, Economics and Accounting.
They claim, however, that any subject
is of value to a writer.

Researchers

Researchers state most emphatically
that statistics was the subject most
helpful; while Techniques of Research,
theory courses, Speech, Personnel, Eco-
nomics, English and just a college back-
ground were also considered valuable.
Now they would take Advanced Sta-
tistical Methods and Research Tech-
niques, Theoretical Economics, Per-
sonnel Psychology, Library Science,
and special courses in government
administration. They say, however,
that some of their work is so
specialized that on-the-job training is
the only true preparation.

All Psychology and all Sociology
courses are helpful, say the social work-
ers. Specific "helpful" courses to them
were Social Case Work, Field Work,
Recent Social Thought, Contemporary
Social Problems, Community Organiza-
tion, Marriage and the Family, Mental
Hygiene, Criminology, Juvenile Delin-
quency, Economics, Vital Statistics,
Child Psychology, and English gram-
mar. They emphasize that they would
now take more Psychology, all the So-
ciology courses offered, Practical Social
Work (field work and advanced case
work), Juvenile Delinquency, Educa-
tion, Public Welfare, Child Welfare,
Philosophy. Interviewing Skills — and
one mentioned at least one year of
graduate work.

Foreign Service

Those interested in the Foreign Ser-
vice are advised to take much history,
political science, economics, English, a
language, and psychology. Extensive
training in the social sciences on the
college level is a necessity in pursuing
such a career; and in many cases mas-
ter's and doctor's degrees are held by
officials in Foreign Service. The writ-
ten examination for the career service
contains questions on just about all
subjects that one would study in college,
^ but the major emphasis seems to be on
history, economics, English and English
literature with special examinations in
whatever foreign languages the appli-
cant knows. (One must be able io read
and write fluently in at least one im-
portant foreign language. )

When asked if college training helped
to qualify them for their positions, 138
graduates answered yes; 18 answered
no.

When asked if college training helps
in the performance of their duties, 141
answered yes; 15, no.

Remarks

In analyzing the remarks of those-
questioned, two conflicting viewpoints
predominated. One was that a broad
cultural background — that which is ob-
tained through a general social science
curriculum — is far the superior type of
education to be gained. The graduates
who advocate this in opposition to the-
other viewpoint — that of specific voca-
tional curricula — point out that a gen-
eral course in which a broad knowledge-
is acquired is essential in one's work
and in relations with other people. It
was indicated that the social sciences
were of inestimable value in the armed
forces in fui-thering a basic understand-
ing of human relations for a quicker-
adjustment. Specific courses taken in
college have been of limited value to
this group, which believes that the gen-
eral cultural background and not sepa-
rate subjects is what makes college
worthwhile. Specialized training should
come only after a general arts and
sciences background, for it is that which
is immeasurably helpful in giving a
broader mental outlook. They point out

[18]

that it is from the sum of all courses that
one derives the assurance that he is
fairly well-versed in many fields and
with this extensive knowledge, particu-
larly of history and the governments
of the world, one is better prepared to
grasp the overwhelming problems which
face all nations today. College training
is invaluable in the development of one's
thinking capacity. To some, the under-
graduate student is not mature enough
to know what field to choose, but should,
in place of the more specialized courses,
take the subjects which develop the
thinking processes. It was further
pointed out that college, often giving
one the polish and poise that are so
very necessary in many situations, also
gives one a greater appreciation of
life, and thus is the place to lay the
foundation for the art of living.

For Specific Tasks

Those graduates who support a
specialized curriculum do so from the
viewpoint that it is better job prepara-
tion to have a definite, more exact
science background than that which the
social sciences can contribute. These
people say that the social sciences have
little value for a person after college
if he has no definite choice of a voca-
tion, since a general education is of
little aid to one who has to make his
own living. Education, they feel, should
fit one for performing specific tasks —
as a doctor, lawyer, or a more exact
science — with practical courses in chem-
istry, engineering, etc. Social science
subjects, this group claims, are too
broad to fit one for a particular job,
and employers are not satisfied with
such a broad preparation.

Cultural Backgrounds

Although all those who mentioned a
specific background as being better for
job qualification were males, one cannot
generalize and say that it must have
been the women who were proponents
of the general course. As it happens,
there is equal agreement among the
sexes as to the necessity for a general
cultural background and, in fact, there
are more men in the "general" category
than in the "specific." No one, however,
entirely believes that it must be an
either-or proposition — that only one and
not the other is good, and so a quote
from one who supports or sums up both
viewpoints seems to be in order. "The
aids in professional work of a non-
technical nature (i. e., as distinguished
from Chemistry, Engineering) derived
from college training, I believe, come pri-
marily from the development of thought
processes, as much or more than from
the subjects themselves. There is not
enough practical application of theory
in the classroom, except where the
exceptional teacher is involved, to ren-
der the individual arts course of much
practical value in business. This does

not mean, of course, that college train-
ing is not a most valuable asset in other
ways."

Remarks made by the graduate fell
into three general categories: com-
ments on courses and suggestions, per-
sonal intentions and difficulties, and
enthusiasm about this research.

In addition to the remarks previously
mentioned, suggestions to major depart-
ments as to content of courses are most
helpful. Time and time again it was
pointed out how very necessary statis-
tics is in every occupational field, for it
is the tool of the social scientist. Grad-
uates felt this subject should be com-
pulsory for all social science majors,
particularly those who enter govern-
ment work as economists; for they and
statisticians are often interchangeable.
Repeatedly, too, those who recommend-
ed statistics felt that statistical courses
as taught at the University of Mary-
land were not strong enough and should
be taught in a "better," more practical
manner. Graduates representing vari-
ous departments stressed the import-
ance of mathematical statistics.

Philosophy Helpful

Philosophy was mentioned many
times either as being very helpful or
because no adequate philosophy course
was available to undegraduates at the
University of Maryland.

Since a number of students entered
the field of insurance, there was a re-
quest that this subject be expanded.

Several mentioned the fact that the
method of teaching modern languages
should be altered so that the primary
objective would be the speaking of the
language. Opportunities to use a lan-
guage were lost to them since their
only facility was in reading.

Recommendations to the Psychology
Department are for courses in the
techniques of interviewing and coun-
selling as being most helpful to those
who do not expect to continue with
graduate work. A course in job classi-
fications and descriptions was com-
mended as worthwhile for those plan-
ning to do personnel work. The recent
development of the Psychology Depart-
ment was also commended as a real
preparation and a practical one for
career work.

Practical Approach

In Sociology the recommendations
were consistently for a more practical
approach to subjects already offered
rather than the addition of new sub-
jects. Pure theory courses should be
balanced by real case work experience,
research projects, and field visits to
slums and institutions. Also suggested
was the concentration of students in a
particular phase of sociology, as crimi-
nology, research, communications, etc.,
for the development of a working knowl-
edge in a specialized branch in order

to improve one's chances for a job.
Graduate work is absolutely essential
for advancement in the field of social
work.

Grammar, composition and letter
writing, particularly as related to busi-
ness techniques, were stressed to the
English Department.

Business courses, especially typing
and accounting, were many times re-
corded as being essential both person-
ally and in the business world.

Degree Helped

It was often stated that possession
of a college degree from an accredited
school was the main factor in getting a
job. Some respondents urged that stu-
dents should be given more assistance
at the beginning of their college careers
to discover their potentialities and to
direct their studies on a definite, plan-
ned program toward their life's work.

Enthusiasm for this study, displayed
not alone by actual commendations of
the research but also by the quality of
answers and remarks and the numer-
ous suggestions, proved an inspiration
to those directly connected with the pro-
ject.

One hundred and twenty-five people
signified that they wished a copy of the
completed report, while 31 did not re-
quest a copy. It seemed that many who
did not sign their names did not do so
because they felt their filled-in ques-
tionnaire was inadequate or they felt
their jobs were such that could be
handled by one with less than a col-
lege education, and therefore did not
wish to make themselves known.

The remarks and suggestions from
respondents have been of utmost aid to
the workers, and it is believed will be of
value to University of Maryland stu-
dents if the results are acted upon.

Most people indicated that they wish-
ed the project success as they felt it to
be a particularly worthy one, and hoped
indeed that the results would be signi-
ficant so that they would be available as
a guide to future students. They felt
that many of their mistakes could have
been averted, or that the University
would have been in a better position to
assist them had the suggestions offered
been available. Indicative of the atti-
tude of those who cooperated by filling
out the questionnaires is the following
remark: "It is a source of gratification
to discover an organization of the Uni-
versity of Maryland engaged in such
energetic and useful research work."

The Sociology Club and the project
chairman acknowledge the assistance of
all who participated in this survey.
They are hopeful that the report pre-
sents a useful evaluation of the offer-
ings of the Social Science Departments
of the University of Maryland, as seen
in the light of past graduate experience
by an extensive group of former stu-
dents.

THE VICTORY MEDAL

A GREAT many of Maryland's
alumni as well as students and
faculty will receive the World War II
Victory medal, the first token presen-
tations of which were made to Wash-
ington's Fifth Marine Reserve Batta-
lion, probably because they moved out
as early as November of 1940. The
medal indicates that the designer really
believed World War II would be the
last war. Also a goodly group of Mary-
land parents will receive the medal be-
cause, in all too many instances the sol-
dier did not return from the wars.

The medal shows the figure of Peace
trampling upon the helmet of Mars,
while Peace's hands hold aloft the
sword of war, broken into two pieces,
the sun of peace coming up over the
horizon.

The obverse emphasizes Franklin D.
Roosevelt's "freedom from fear and
want, freedom of speech and religion."

The World War I Victory medal
featured the figure of Victory defiant
with sword and shield.

Many a man, who served in uniform
in World War II, sincerely bslieved
that the great conflict really would be
the last war. Not so many believed
that of World War I despite Woodrow
Wilson's "war to end wars" and "make
the world safe for democracy."

In view of the state of World affairs
today, the millions of ex-GI's who will
receive the World War II Victory medal
with its commendable and artistic em-
phasis on peace, wil get quite a kick

out of the optimism displayed thereon.
The average ex-GI, who, during the
combat years, dreamed some beautiful
dreams of the post war future, has
pretty well lost faith in human nature
as shown by nations and statesmen.

These dreams were told off something
like this, "As soon as this next dance
is over (let's hope most of us are still
around to talk about it) we can think
about going home. Our old girls will
be waiting for us and we'll be married.
We'll get our old jobs back and maybe
better ones. We can pick out any
college we want to go to and go there
free. We'll have priority on homes and
(he prices of same and we'll build. And
boy, no more short rations on food. We
can go into any resturant and, for $1.50,
get around a nice big steak. And we'll
always have the credit of having fought
the last war' ".

The older fellows in uniform, the
fathers and grandfathers, listened to the
dreams. They just HOPED the dreams
would come true.

The men who fought the last war do
not want to see another war. They
fervently pray that the nations and the
nations' statesmen will show some
horse sense, that instinct in horses that
prevents them from betting on people.

Studying the design of the World
War II Victory medal and comparing
it with the day's headlines dealing with
Russia, Greece, cash and supplies to
Europe and Asia, housing shortages,
taxes, universal military training, etc.,
etc., we could not help but recall a little

incident that occurred in Cuba in 1940,
when the First Marine Division was
making ready for what they thought
might be France, the Azores, Dakar, or
Martinique, but which turned out to be
Guadalcanal.

It was Easter Sunday morning,
greeted by a beautiful sunrise over the
Carribean. The Naval Station at
Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, published a
daily news bulletin, a little mimeo-
graphed job that featured the night's
radio news flashes (the Italians were
being chased by the Greeks about that
time, giving Hitler a chance to invade
and take over Italy). The news bulle-
tin also published local news, i. e., what
was at the movies, where there would
be church services, etc., etc. Among
the latter items appeared "There will
be Easter Sunday Morning sunrise ser-
vices on the Machine Gun Range."

Remarked Colonel Arthur D. Chail.t-
combe, a marine with a keen sense of
humor, but not much faith in human
nature, "So we celebrate the fact that
'He has Arisen' with services on, of all
places, the machine gun range! We
ought to give this punch drunk world
back to the rabbits. We've made a hell
of a mess of it!"

FACE IT

He who has battled, were it only
with poverty and hard toil, will be
found stronger and more expert than
he who would stay home from the
battle. — Carlyle.

VICTORY MEDAL, WORLD WAR II

The artist, like many a man in uniform, must have believed this was
truly the last war. Here you have the figure of Peace, trampling
Mars' helmet into the ground, while war's broken sword is held in two
pieces and the sun of peace rises in the background.

The back of the Medal features President Koosevell's four freedoms
which, too. were meant for peace.

Many Maryland alumni will receive this medal which will be ready
for distribution shortly.

VICTORY MEDAL, WORLD WAR I

Here the artist, like most men in uniform, evidently believed that
World War I was not President Woodrow Wilson's "war to end all
wars", and "make the world safe for democracy", for here is Victory,
armed and defiant. Note the back of the medal with the "United We
Stand" art. Note that the Allies of the World War I included Serbia,
Montenegro and Japan.

Serbia and Montenegro no longer exist as such and Japan didn't do a
very good iob of making the world safe for anything.

[20;

such as Judge Cole is not enough.
House and Senate should adopt strin-
gent rules for the government of their
committees, as well as of themselves,
when in session. Then committee
members and witnesses could be called
to account by anyone who believes in
dignified government.

HON. WM. F. COLE, JK.

"There was dignity."

WITH DIGNITY

During the hot days of August,
while some stage folk "summered"
and others toiled over the "hay
barn circuit," Washington, D. C. put
on a short "show" that added nothing
to the dignity of Government.

"Liar!" was hurled across headlines.
Party girls were advertised but failed
to show. $100.00 an evening was an
adveitised per capita rate for enter-
tainment.

The public has a right to expect dig-
nity from its officials in Washington.
Circus tickets can be had for $2.20.
The tax rates are higher. They should
provide for more than proof that Bar-
num was right.

Sensational charges in advance of
Congressional hearings should be pro-
hibited. On the other hand, citizens
who shout "liar" at committee mem-
bers should be liable for contempt of
Congress, for belittling it as an insti-
tution.

Dignity can be maintained! Our ju-
dicial system proves that truth can
be ascertained and justice done in such
a way that the courts retain the only
asset that gives them value, i. e., con-
fidence of the people.
"When Kings the sword of justice once
lay down,
They are no Kings, though they
possess the crown."

It is refreshing, in these pages, to
recall the sessions of the House Sub-
Committee on Petroleum. It is re-
spected across the nation by reason of
the courtesy of its chairman, Hon.
William P. Cole, Jr., University of
Maryland, '10, currently chairman of
the University's Board of Regents. No
snarling dog fights were tolerated in
his presence. Mr. Truman, as Chair-
man of the Senate Committee Investi-
gating the National Defense Program,
conducted its hearings with dignity.
All of the many reports of the com-
mittee were unanimous, an extraordi-
nary proof of its fairness to both the
government and the citizen.

But to i-ely on the lucky chance of
a dignified and fair-minded chairman

THE GRADUATE SCHOOL

(( '(included from page Jf)

Libraries and Research

In addition to the excellent library
facilities of the university libraries,
the great libraries and other research
resources of the National capital are
easily available to graduate students
at the University of Maryland.

The graduate students in the sci-
ences basic to agriculture have an un-
usual opportunity at the University of
Maryland because of its close prox-
imity to the great research labora-
tories of the United States Department
of Agriculture. The Beltsville labora-
tories are located only about two miles
from the campus. Many of our stu-
dents attend seminars and otherwise
profit by contacts with the research
scientists in these laboratories. The
university, on the other hand, fur-
nishes an opportunity for the younger
men in the?e laboratories to continue
their graduate education on a part-
time basis.

Fellowships

A number of research fellowships
have been established by the Univer-
sity.

The purpose of these fellowships is
to aid superior students to continue
their education and eventually assume
leadership in research and other scho-
larly pursuits. The awards are made
on a competitive basis.

These research fellowships are also
intended to add materially to the out-
put of research and productive scholar-
ship of the University. Several indus-
trial and special fellowships are avail-
able in certain departments. A num-
ber of teaching and research assistant-
ships for graduate students are also
available in several departments.

Associations and Societies

The University of Maryland is an
active member of the Conference of
Deans of Southern Graduate Schools.
The University's representative was
the president of this association for
the year 1939. This representative
was also the first elected chairman of
the newly organized Graduate Work
Section of the Association of Land
Grant Colleges and Universities.

A chapter of the national honorary
society Sigma Xi was established at
the University in 1929 in recognition
of the high quality of graduate and
research work in the sciences.

A I ii 111 ii i Organization Proposed — Constitution

ALUMNI ORGANIZATION

THE present Board of Managers of
the College Park Alumni Associa-
tion, elected at a meeting last fall,
received instructions from alumni in at-
tendance to draft plans for a workable
alumni organization which would both
permit and encourage alumni action.
The Board has met at least once each
month and in addition has consulted at
length with President Byrd and with
officers and representatives of the Balti-
more associations. A plan has been
developed which has the support of
these groups and individuals. It is
presented now for your consideration.

Individual school associations are to
be organized as segments or chapters of
an overall association embracing all
University of Maryland Schools in both
Baltimore and College Park. Organi-
zational ground work is now being
undertaken by alumni steering com-
mittees working in cooperation with the
deans of the Colleges. Constitution,
Nominating, and Homecoming Commit-
tees have been appointed for the schools
of Agriculture, Arts and Science, Busi-
ness and Public Administration, Educa-
tion, Engineering, Home Economics,
and Law. The other four schools of
Dentistry, Medicine, Nursing, and
Pharmacy have well established alumni
associations at the present time.

Under the direction of the Steering
Committees alumni of the five College
Park schools with the exception of Agri-
culture will meet on Homecoming Day
November 1 at College Park to adopt
constitutions, elect permanent officers,
and otherwise establish permanent as-
sociations. Law alumni will probably
hold a meeting in Baltimore at a
date to be announced later. Agri-
culture will get under way at an alumni
meeting in Baltimore on September 26.

Each School association will be re-
quested to send three representatives to
an overall alumni council of thirty-three
members. This council will have the
responsibility of outlining an alumni
program, will suggest issues to be con-
sidered by alumni in general and by
school associations, and will assist in
the organization of University of Mary-
land clubs and chapters in the various
towns, cities, and states.

These proposals and the general plan
bave been considered by steering com-
mittees consisting of approximately fif-
teen representatives from each of the
schools. It was their feeling all alumni
would support such a plan at least on a
trial basis. The establishment of the
council must of necessity follow college
organizational meetings.

If your school is to be organized on
November 1 you will want to be there.
The program for the day and nomina-
tion for permanent officers appear else-
where in this issue of Maryland for
your guidance.

PROPOSED CONSTITUTION

The six College Park schools now
taking steps to organize alumni associa-
tions are adopting the constitution

tions by schools. Constitution Com-

"Certificate of Appreciation" being sent to all
alumni who support "MARYLAND" Magazine
and other alumni activities through voluntary
contributions.

The actual certificate is suitable for framing.
It is printed on gloss card stock, size 6x9
inches. It features the same four color pic-

meeting. This proposed constitution
is for your careful consideration in or-
der that you may understand what is
being planned and be in a position to
discuss it when the alumni from your
school are called together at 10:30 A.

DR. HENRY R. BELL, '79

In our July 1947 number we printed
sin article regarding Dr. R. S. Griffith,
'80, suggesting that Dr. Griffith pos-
sibly is Maryland's senior alumnus.

Comes now a letter from Dr. Henry
R. Bell, 491 Wicksom Ave., Oakland,
California, which indicates that Dr.
Bell graduated one year before Dr.
Griffith.

Dr. Griffitn graduated from College
Park in 1880 and from the Medical
School in 1886.

The interesting letter from Dr. Bell
states:

"I was born in Northampton County,
Virginia, and was graduated with the
class of March, 1879, Medical School,
University of Maryland in Baltimore.

SENIOR ALUMNUS?

Dr. and Mrs. Henry R. Bell (nee Fannie May
Plummer), Oakland, California. Dr. Bell and
Mrs. Bell have been married over 67 years. Dr.
Bell graduated from Maryland's Medical School
with the class of 1879. The Doctor is 94 years
of age. Mrs. Bell is 83.

I am proud to have my 'sheepskin' still
intact, bearing that date and the sig-
natures of the professors of that time,
nearly all of which are still legible. I
also have my certificate of internship
as Resident Physician in the Baltimore
Infirmary. Incidentally, may I add that
I still have one- of the programs of the
Commencement Exercises of this class,
held in the Baltimore Opera House.

"Upon graduation, I returned to Cali-
fornia, where I had lived for a few
years previous, and took up the prac-
tice of medicine in the mountains of
California, in and near an early gold
mining region. I became a 'horseback'
riding country doctor. However in 1884,
I moved to San Francisco, married
there, established an office and con-
tinued in general practice; largely in
obstetrical work. Wishing to specialize
in eye, ear, nose, and throat, I re-
turned, in 1893, to Baltimore, visited
my old Alma Mater, and took a course
in the preceding subjects with Dr.
Julius Chisholm followed by further
study in New York and elsewhere.

"Returning to San Francisco, I equip-
ped my office for the pursuit of my

[24]

specialty, but in the disaster of 1906
my office was completely destroyed. I
did not open another downtown office
thereafter, but continued general prac-
tice at and from my home (which for-
tunately escaped destruction by fire by
about two blocks as it also escaped
much damage by the quake) until my
gradual retirement several years later.

Five years ago I moved to our pres-
ent residence in Oakland, Calif, to be
nearer a nephew and his family, and
our oldest grandson and family. Were
it not for the difficulty of double cata-
racts holding both Mrs. Bell and me,
we would be able to get around by our-
selves, but due to it, we only go a short
ciistance from home without escort, for
our daily outdoor exercise. However,
we are thankful that I was able to
drive my auto until past 87 years of
age.

"I, too, as does Dr. Griffith, wear an
I.O.O.F. gold emblem and pin, which
was presented to me commemorating
my membership in the order for 50
years.

"In closing, let me say, if there is
found a living older alumnus in age or
years following graduation, I would be
glad to hear from or of him."

Cordially, a loyal alumnus,
Henry R. Bell.

DAVID L. STODDARD

David L. Stoddard '38, who received
a Ph.D. in Plant Pathology this June
after seven years at the University of
Maryland and a tour of duty in World
War II, has just been appointed Asso-
ciate Plant Pathologist at the Ever-
glades Experiment Station, Belle Glade,
Florida. This station is located in the
heart of the Everglades vegetable grow-
ing area and Stoddard says "Since
most of the work will deal with muck
soil it appears my agricultural educa-
tion is starting over again."

ALPHA XI DELTA

The University of Maryland Chapter
of Alpha Xi Delta received the
"achivement tray," awarded annually
for efficiency, at the 21st convention of
the national women's fraternity re-
cently held at Murray Bay, Quebec,
Canada Sixteen members attended from
the Washington Alumnae and Mary-
land University Chapter, including Mrs.
Beverley Robinson, the retiring na-
tional president.

Alpha Xi Delta is celebrating its 55th
anniversary. It now has a membership
of 20,000 in more than 150 college and
alumnae groups throughout the coun-
try.

to join the BPA Alumni Association.
This includes those who graduated
prior to the establishment of this Col-
lege. BPA is the youngest of the eleven
University of Maryland Schools.

EDUCATION CHANGES

The Steering Committee of the Col-
lege of Education alumni has suggest-
ed the following differences in their
constitution which may be checked
against the printed constitutions ap-
pearing in this issue. They recommend
nine directors who will serve three
year terms and who will be nominated
by a committee elected at each annual
meeting. Two nominations wil be made
from each office, the list to be published
not later than thirty or earlier than
sixty days before the meeting, and elec-
tion will be by written ballot at the an-
nual meeting. A plurality would be
required for election.

LAW ALUMNI ACTION

The following alumni of the law
school have agreed to serve on the
Steering Committee for the purpose of
reactivating the law school alumni as-
sociation:

Judge Eli Frank, Chairman ; Bridgewater M.
Arnold, Joseph Bernstein, Allan Cleaveland,
Paul F. Due, Judge William Henry Forsythe.
N. Irvin Gressitt, Thomas M. Harrington, John
H. Hessey. John L. ; G. Lee. W. Carl Lohmeyer,
John E. Magers.~ Judge Emory H. Niles, Wil-
liam J. O'Donnell, M. Luther Pittman, J. Gil-
bert Prendergast, Judge W. Conwell Smith.
Maxwell Suls and Eldridge Hood Young.

A meeting of the Steering Commit-
tee was held August 7th in Judge
Frank's office in Baltimore with sixteen
members present. Two sub-committees
were designated to handle the organi-
zation and drafting of a constitution
and to make nominations for perma-
nent officers. After these sub-commit-
tees have met and acted they are to re-
port back to the Steering Committee.

Judge William Henry Forsythe and
J. Gilbert Prendergast were designated
as temporary representatives to serve
with John E. Magers as representatives
on the Alumni Council.

PROPOSED AMENDMENTS

Proposed amendments to the Consti-
tution, By-Laws of the General Alumni
Association of the College Park School
of the University of Maryland.

The Alumni Reorganization Plan en-
visages the formation of chapters com-
posed of alumni of the respective col-
leges of the University federated or
brought together under a General
Alumni Council. It is believed that the
reorganization requires three steps,
namely: (11 the organization of the
various college chapters; (2) the con-
tinuation of the Association of the Col-
lege Park Schools with such organiza-
tional changes as may be necessary to
provide for the college chapters; and
(3) the formation of a general alumni

organization which will include the
alumni of both the College Park and
Baltimore Schools. Step (1) will be
completed on Homecoming Day 1947.
Step (2) will have to be taken on
Homecoming Day, 1947. Step (3) will
be consummated in the future after
Homecoming Day.

Public Administration — R-100 New
The Board of Managers, therefore,
proposes the following amendments to
the Constitution, By-Laws of "The Gen-
eral Alumni Association of the College
Park Schools of the University of
Maryland" in order to provide for a

Park Association as a medium of ac-
complishing alumni business insofar as
it affects the College Park Schools.

1. Amend Art. II by substituting
therefor the following:

ARTICLE II.— Membership

Section 1. Eligibility.

Any former student of the Univer-
sity of Maryland who was regularly en-
rolled in one of the colleges or schools

tution and By-Laws, elect Chapter Offi-
cers and provide for meetings of their
members to carry out the objects of the
Association, including an annual meet-
ing to be held at the University of
Maryland. College Park, Maryland on
the date designated as the Annual Fall
Homecoming Day.

Section 2. Alumni Council.

The government of the Association
shall be vested in an Alumni Council
which shall be composed of three (3)

'ciAtflasull

DARK hair and dark eyes plus an engaging smile emphasize the beauty of Lucile Betty Andrews, junior in the College of Home Economics where
she is a student in Costume Design. Miss Andrews, who lives at 4828 Chevy Chase Drive, Chevy Chase, Maryland, is a member of Delta Delta
Delta Sorority. During the recent Southern Conference Boxing Championship Tournament Miss Andrews was chosen as one of the sponsors, her
assignment being with the team of the University of North Carolina.

SCHOOL TEACHERS

The Maryland State Department of
Education announced that reports from
county school superintendents indicate
they will be able to fill all teaching po-
sitions for the first time since before
the war.

The reports attributed the availabili-
ty of teachers to increased pay scales
by the 1947 General Assembly. The
minimum for teachers with degrees was
raised $400 to $2,200 a year.

The superintendents said the supply
of instructors with degrees would en-
able the counties to dispense with many
teachers holding emergency wartime
certificates.

In addition to filling vacancies that
have existed for years, most counties
will be able to increase their staffs.

Montgomery County's teacher situa-
tion has "vastly improved" since last
year, the school superintendent's office
said. That county does not limit sal-
aries to the Statewide teacher pay scale,
but uses the scale for comparison to
insure that Montgomery County teach-
ers are not paid less than in other
areas, the office said.

The Montgomery County scales were
listed as $2,200 to $4,000 a year com-
pared with $1,700 to $3,500 formerly
paid teachers without college degrees;
$2,500 to $4,300 annually, compared
with $1,900 to $3,900 for those with
bachelor's degrees, and $2,700 to $5,300,
compared with $2,100 to $4,300 for
those with master's degrees.

JOHN MOORE

John Moore of Upper Marlboro has
been appointed an instructor in plant
pathology at the University of Mary-
land and has taken up his new duties
in Extensioi work.

Moore grew up on a farm in Prince
George's County, graduated from the
Upper Marlboro High School and spent
three years m the Navy before gradu-
ating from the University of Maryland
last June. He spent two summer vaca-
tions working with the Soil Conserva-
tion Service.

It is expected that he will spend con-
siderable time on the Eastern Shore
of Maryland where he will be available
for emergency calls from county
agents and growers. He will have gen-
eral charge of the department's field
trials and demonstrations with such
crops as sweet potatoes, tomatoes, and
strawberries.

Moore will aid in finding and report-
ing outbreaks of plant diseases. This
is part of the reporting system con-
ducted by the department in coopera-
tion with the U. S. D. A. He will also
do much of the strawberry and other
nursery inspection work.

MARYLAND ATHLETICS

i '

"TATUM BOWL"

FOOTBALL practice at College
Park donned a cloak of secrecy
with the practice beginning- on Sep-
tember 1. Head Coach "Sunny Jim"
Tatum has his charges working out
behind a wooden fence that incloses a
complete practice field, shielded from
the eyes of prying scouts.

In this "Tatum Bowl" the split-T
will be the order of the day. With the
roughest schedule in Terp history just
beyond the horizen Tatum is making no
promises but is dead serious about the
job ahead. There will be a complete
variation of the Shaughnessy "T" for
the returning lettermen and new comers
will get a load of the Faurot split "T".
Big Jim Meade, the same Jumbo who
carried the mail for the Terps and later
on for the Washington Redskins, has
been added to the coaching staff which,
in addition to Tatum under Athletic
Director Walter S. Driskill, includes
George Barclay, Houston Elder, Bill
Meek, Flucie Stewart and Al Woods,
another Terp grid great.

The season opens at South Carolina
on September 27 and, on October 3, the
flood lights will go on in the first home
game between Maryland and unbeaten
University of Delaware.

COACH'S TROUBLES

The late and great Knute Rockne
employed a neat trick for snapping in
star gazers and day dreamers during
football skull drill. Noting some hap-
less beezark whose thoughts had strayed
to somewhere down by the old mill
stream, Knute would stop in the middle
of a sentence and, addressing the doper.
ask, "What day of the week is it?".
That usually caught the doping young-
ster fiatfooted.

But Knute's method probably takes
second place to the routine employed
by Lieutenant Jimmy Hicks of the
Navy. Jimmy'd be giving out with a
lecture to a platoon of dog tired boots
and suddenly switch to:

"Don't be a 'walk-off!' Do you salt-
less salts know what a walk-off is? I'll
tell you. When the Good Lord created
man he did the job in a military
manner. He made a squad of eight
perfect 160 pound middleweights.
Beautiful guys with movie profiles
and torsos like the dinkus thrower in
the vacation at Rome. Perfect co-

ordination, reflexes and control. Then
he set 'em up against a fence to dry,
breathed the breath of life into 'em
and they moved about and had their
being.

"Then the Lord commanded, 'In place,
halt! I forgot one thing, I forgot to
give you guys brains. So stand fast
while I go down to the brain locker and
bring a bucket of brains to pour into
you fellows.'

"When the Good Lord returned there
were only four guys there. The other
four had walked off and a lot of de-
scendants of the last named four are
right here in this outfit! ! !"

Then here is the one about the old
coach at good old Riebersdorf U. who,
had suffered a particularly trying day
during which his gallant pigskinners
had degenerated to the mental plain of
grade 16 morons.

The old coach had just about decided
that Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,
with a little backfield help from Goldie
Locks and the Three Bears, could just
about send his team to the Eagle Laun-
dry.

"Sit down," said the coach, "While
I tell you a story."

"When I was a little boy," he sobbed,
"I had a very, very unhappy childhood.
We were very poor. My dear old
mother was always sickly. My dad
was a mean old drunken man. He'd
come home Saturdays and just belt
hell out of mother.

"My older brother, Skunkton, and I,"
continued the coach, "were too small to
pitch in and help Maw.

"We never had any Christmas toys
like other children," the old coach sobbed
on, "and each year I hoped — and hoped
in vain — for a set of wooden soldiers.
I always wanted those wooden soldiers
with which to play.

"Then one day my dear old Maw
layed down and died", the old coach
went on to say. "She called me to her
bed side just before she passed away
and said, 'Snorky, all your life you
wanted a set of wooden soldiers to
play with. You have never gotten
them. But, Snorky, God's in his heaven
and all's right with the world. Some
day. Snorky, somehow, somewhere you'll
get your wooden soldiers to play with ! '.

"And," suddenly roared the old coach.
"I want this hopeless, hapless, helpless
assortment of knuckleheads to know
MOTHER WAS RIGHT! That day
has COME! !"

ABOUT WANG

Here's a football story from China
where you grab a rickshaw which ad-
vertises, "20 cents a go, 20 cents a
come, 30 cents a complete went" and
right turn off the Bund out toward
Bubbling Well Race Course and the
Metropole, where Wang, the man child
of the tubercular tenor, Wun Lung Yet
Ah Sing, is reporting an American foot-
ball game. Wang had answered an ad
for a typewriting reporter with, "I am
Wang. I can drive a typewriter with
great noise and my English is great.
My former job has now left me for the
reason that the man died dead. That
was on no account from me. If I can
be of use to you I shall go to work
on the very date you can guess."

Anyhow, Wang reported as follows
to wit, namely, i. e., colon and dash, e.
g. although we always liked that viz: —
"This is the American style of foot-
ball taken from the Chinese battle dore
shuttle cock, but with damage. All of
one team stands on one side. The other
on the other. All are constantly con-
fusing. Any number may be used.

"The players kick and throw the ball
at each other. The object is to strike
the other player with the ball. If a
player is injured and dragged from the
field his opponent wins six points.
However, if that ball comes back at the
player and he kicks it back over a cross
bar he counts another point.

"It is dangerous to fall on the ball
because that privileges all other players
of both sides to fall on top. Here the
officials count from one to ten.

"If the ball is kicked or thrown at a
player and he avoids it and lets it pass
he is disgraced and must leave the
game. He may return later, however,
if re-instated by vote of his team mates.
These votes are conducted from time to
time during the game when the players
huddle together. If he is reinstated he
is then called a pinch hitter.

"There are also officials who com-
municate with each other by means of a
code of hand signals. This code is
secret and very confusing."

THE University of Maryland's box-
ing team has been invited to box
in the "Sugar Bowl", the New Orleans
Mid-Winter Sports Carnival, in the
Crescent City on December 29, 1947 Di-
rector of Athletics Walter S. Driskill
has announced.
The Terrapin ring-
sters' opponents
will be Michigan
state, a truly pow-
erful squad.

The entire box-
ing squad was can-
vassed. Over-
whelmingly they
favored the New
Orleans contest. It
was appreciated
that the date, De-
cember 29th, pretty
well knocks the
prop out from un-
der the Yule holi-
day, what with the training grind that
precedes the bouts. It was also made
plain that the opposition would be rugg-
ed, as the Sugar Bowl is definitely major
league stuff.

Tough Schedule

The New Orleans date precedes a
hardy regular season of eight dual
meets, four at home and four away,
against South Carolina, Army, Catholic
University, Louisiana State, Michigan
State, Clemson, The Citadel, and Buck-
nell. Following that comes the South-
ern Conference tournament and, later,
most likely at Minnesota, the N.C.A.A.
tournament, ("The Nationals"), which
this year are an Olympic Team tryout
at Olympic weights, 112, 118, 126, 135,

147, 175, and Heavyweight, instead of
the usual collegiate 125, 130, 135, 145,
155, 165, 175, and Unlimited.

The weights to be used at New Or-
leans will be at the usual collegiate
poundages.

The Officials

The referee for the Sugar Bowl meet
will be Dr. L. Barrodale, of Houma, La.,
who is a listed N.C.A.A. official. The
judges will be Jack Pizzano and George
Manteris, both former collegiate box-
ing champions from Tulane University.

HE HAD THOSE LEGS

"When his opponents tried to nail him Frank
C'ronin just wasn't there. He had those legs!
He was a great counterpuncher and a champion
against real good ringmen."

GOOD PUNCHER

"Another good Maryland puncher is Andy
Quattrocchi. who ran into tough luck with hand
injuries last season. In five starts Andy stop-
ped four opponents and had the fifth one on
the floor. He's a whole lot like Nedomatsky."

Maryland's boxers will be guests at
all events of the Mid-Winter Sports
Carnival, including the Sugar Bowl
football classic on New Year's Day.

In the latter premise here is a word
from Jim Kehoe, Maryland's track
coach and former cinder path star.
Says Coach Jim, "The Sugar Bowl is
the biggest thing in sports. I ran
down there. New Orleans will show
our boxers a truly wonderful time;
nothing like it anywhere else."

Says Professor George D. Quigley,
staunch Maryland boxing booster, "The
pre-holiday bowl meet in New Orleans
will tend to eliminate the problem of
the team getting out of shape over the
holidays and moving right into dual
meet competition shortly after the holi-
days. The New Orleans event will pro-
vide every incentive for getting into

HE COULD HIT

"Maryland had a great puncher, circa 1934-
1937, in Ivan Nedomatsky. If 'Ivan the Ter-
rible' didn't stretch them for the full count he
had them doing some funny things standing
up."

shape and starting the schedule with a
bang. For the rest of the season, re-
gardless of the outcome in New Or-
leans, wel'll always be 'Maryland's
Sugar Bowl Team.' With good condi-
tion and pointing for the Sugar Bowl,
no injuries, and three competant offi-
cials there appears to be no reason
why Maryland ring followers shouldn't
hope for a win in Louisiana."

With Maryland making a bid for
Bowl honors it is not amiss to recall a
little history.

Three Titles

It was in 1936 that Dr. H. C. ("Cur-
ley") Byrd a keen judge of all branches
of sport, asked Colonel Heinie Miller
to take over the helm in boxing at Col-
lege Park. The Terps had never won a
Southern Conference boxing title.
They won their first one after an unde-
feated season in Miller's initial year.
They repeated in 1939 after another
undefeated season and topped that one
by defeating Army's Eastern intercol-
legiate champions in a post season
match.

Last year the Terp ring team, again
under Miller, who had returned from
the Pacific and the Marine Corps after
an absence of five years and two
months, again won the Conference title
after a dual meet season in which they
won seven matches and lost one. Win-
ning three titles in five chances is not
a bad average in any league.

[32]

In boxing since 1902, when he
weighed in as a 12 year old 100 pound-
er, Coach Miller is rated nationally as
a fellow who knows the answers where
the game of block and counter is con-
cerned.

Miller's favorite type is a smart box-
er with a punch.

"With green kids who are just taking
up the game it is smart to teach them
to hit hard and correctly before they
are taught anything else," he said, add-
ing, "The puncher can be on the
floor and badly stung, but, bouyed
by the realization that he can HIT,
he knows he has a winning chance
all the time."

Remember Nedo?

"Punching is not hard to learn,"
Heinie added, "because it is simply an
intelligent application of weight. It
has nothing to do with 'build' or
muscles."

Maryland had a great puncher,
circa 1934-1937, in Ivan Nedomatsky.
If "Ivan the Terrible" didn't stretch
them for the full count he had them
doing some funny things standing up.

Another good Maryland puncher is
Andy Quattrocchi, who ran into tough
luck with hand injuries last season. In
five starts Andy stopped four opponents
and had the fifth one on the floor. He's
a whole lot like Nedomatsky.

"What", we asked Miller, "is the most
important feature of training for box-
ing?"

"That would be boxing," replied the
coach, continuing, "If you are training
a swimmer you put him in the water.
The best training for a boxer is in the
ring against various types of oppon-
ents; boxers, sluggers, counterpunchers,
southpaws. The more varied the styles,
the more the participants will learn.
It is not good for a boxer to train al-
ways with the same sparring mates."

That Roadwork

"Next in importance, if not equally
important in the showdown," Miller
said, "is roadwork. I do not mean road-
work just before the contest. By hit-
ting the road only during the training
season you only get back into shape.
You do not advance over last year's
condition. The benefits of roadwork
pay off over the years. That is why
Frank Cronin, Maryland's undefeated
155 pound Southern Conference cham-
pion in 1939, did so well when he was
really a ring neophyte. Frank had
years of track behind him. When his
opponents tried to nail him Frank just
wasn't there. He had those legs. He
was a great counterpuncher and a
champion against real good ringmen.

"Roadwork," Miller continued, "is
best in the early mornings and next
best just before gymnasium work.
However, when the schedule is so that
you just can't take roadwork in the

morning or before a gym workout it is
very good medicine to take it after the
gym workout rather than have no
roadwork at all."

The Last Round
"Many a bout," Miller continued, "is
lost in the last round and the fellow
who wins the third round is usually the
fellow who has the wind and the legs
that come from consistent and earnest
attention to roadwork. It is not much
fun, but it wins boxing contests. The
true stamina that comes as a result of
months of application. The best reac-

Those Were the Happy Days

YEARS AGO

Maryland's ring coach is pictured here in his
youth by Dick Mansfield, in the Washington
Star. Miller to this day emphasizes punchers
and roadwork. His favorite type is a boxer
with a punch. Old Doc Dougherty said, "In his
youth Miller never had anything but a head
and a right hand." Either or both are a great
help to any boxer.

tions come as a result of a steady diet
of training."

"Such great champions as Bob Fitz-
simmons and Jack Britton, who boxed
until they were 45 years old, did not
have to pull comebacks. They had
never been away. They never broke
training and stayed in shape over the
years. They emphasized consistent
roadwork and plenty of boxing," the
coach said.

"What" we asked Miller, "is your
favorite punch?"

"Next to Lesson 1, which is a straight
left jab," Miller replied, "I like the
double-left hook. That is the old 'in-
verted 3'. It slams a full steam left
hook into the body and loops it over to
the chin. Two separate and distinct
punches. So many boxers know how to
use that punch, but fail to use it often
enough. Billy Conn, in his first bout
with Louis, double left hooked the
champion throughout the bout. Conn
was within touching distance of the
world's title by dint of that double left.
In his second bout with Louis Conn for-
got all about the 'inverted 3'. He never
tried it Once."

[33]

Nice Puncher

As a youngster Heinie Miller won
three Service titles over the long route
of 20 and 25 rounds. His record indi-
cates that he could belt like nobody's
business, but strangely enough, not with
a double left hook but rather with a
right cross.

We asked Miller about that.

"I never could take a punch well,"
Miller said, "and I used to like to make
the other fellow lead. Then if I was
lucky enough to make him miss or
could block his lead, I'd try to nail him
with a right while his weight was com-
ing toward me. The distance was too
long to let anything but Sunday
punches go."

That recalled a remark made by Old
Doc Dougherty at Annapolis some years
ago. Doc had seen Heinie box many
times. A youngster wanted to know
what Miller "had" as a ringman.

Dougherty replied, "Heinie used to
win, but he was usually on the floor
several times. He didn't have much.
All he had was a head and a right
hand." (It must have been a pretty
good right judging by an old yellowed
clipping book.)

There must be something to that busi-
ness of a puncher always having the
edge by knowing he can punch.

Plenty to Learn

"No boxer," Miller concluded, "has
ever learned all there is to know about
boxing. Two of boxing's very best, the
immortal Joe Gans and Philadelphia
Jack O'Brien, used to say that they
learned at every show by watching pre-
liminary boys in action. They believed
every boxer had something no other
boxer had."

That recalled the fellow who, upon
hearing the coffee advertisement over
the radio, "Good to the last drop",
wanted to know, "What's wrong with
that last drop?"

A goal of absolute perfection may
not be attainable in boxing or any other
line of endeavor, but no man is going to
look ridiculous or absurd in going after
it.

BASEBALL TROUBLES

The Washington Senators baseball
team is reputed to have manager trou-
bles in that the players are organizing
against Manager Ossie Bluege. Owner
Clark Griffith, who has been around
a long, long time and knows the base-
ball answers says, "They're supposed
to put out all they have. When they
buck the manager they're not playing
the game. One man, no more, is at
fault. It's always one man. He leads
others and the others are not really re-
sponsible."

Maryland's National Rifle Champions Lauded

IT IS AN INSPIRATION

Greatly responsible for the University of Maryland's fine shooting record is Colonel Harland C. Griswold who. during his entire Army career,
has been an outstanding rifleman and rifle coach. Add to that Maryland's fine indoor target range, pictured above, a part of Maryland's big armory
building.

RIFLE shooting- doesn't get near-
ly as much publicity as it should,"
said the colonel. "It's really a great
sport, although it doesn't have much
spectator appeal, and a god rifleman
trains as diligent-
ly as an all-Amer-
ican halfback and
competes under
terrific pressure.
Physical r e 1 a x a-
tion and mental
concentration — a
very fine co-ordi-
nation between the
eye and trigger
finger, makes a
good rifleman, and
it isn't easy. Yet
you don't see much
Mr. Atchison about it in the

papers."
The speaker was Col. Harland C.
Griswold, coach of the University of
Maryland's national champion rifle
team, and an old hand in the trigger-
squeezing business. We always thought

the requisites for a winning gun team
were: (A) a range to practice on; (B)
five rifles and plenty of ammunition,
and (C) five men to use the rifles and
ammunition. But it didn't take the col-
onel long to get us untwisted. Compe-
tition with a shootin' iron is a tough
and highly skilled pastime.

Not Like Glen Echo
First call for candidates usually
brings out some 150 Deadeye Richards
who have an idea its like pinking pie
plates at Glen Echo — for free. The col-
onel issues instructions for three weeks
training at the end of which, he tells
them, the squad will be cut. But long-
before the deadline trigger-happy boys
find their patience too short, the hours
too long and their co-ordination sadly

unco-ordinated. The colonel hasn't had
to use the paring knife yet.

A rifle coach has as much trouble as
his football counterpart digging up ma-
terial. One New York State high
school coach wrote the colonel after
Maryland's national triumph, stating he
had three sharpshooters desirous of ma-
triculating at College Park. But only
one measured up to the scholastic re-
quirements and he doesn't want to come
without the others, so the Terps miss
out on three fine prospects.
Started at Ten
The colonel smuggled his first .22
into the barn on the family homestead
back in Yorkville, 111., at the tender age
of 10 and sent two of the neighbor's
fattest hens to wherever fat and thor-
oughly dead hens go before the rifle
quietly disappeared. He wasn't much
bigger then, he recalls, than Freshman
Arthur Cook when he first saw him a
few years ago. Cook, the Terps' No. 1
man, fired two matches against Mary-
land with the Pinwheel Juniors when
Artie wasn't much taller than his rifle.

[34]

COLONEL GRISWOLD

"I wouldn't have believed it possible if I
hadn't seen it!"

"And he doesn't look a whole lot bigger
now," the colonel added.

Cook was the Terps' sparkplug, al-
though all the boys stood up well in
tight competition. The coach still
doesn't know how he fired a standing
position score of 98x100 and marked up
296x300, not once but twice, confessing
"I wouldn't believe it possible if I had-
n't seen it!"

In the national title shoot, in which
Maryland's 1,408 shattered Iowa's mark
of 1,403, Cook, who average 291 during
the season, finished a point below team-
mate Walter Bowling's 287, which won
the individual crown. Artie's only
comment was that he was glad his team
score helped set the record. A similar
spirit helped Cook capture the national
junior crown two years ago.

All Were Good

But Col. Griswold gives other mem-
bers of the squad their fair share of
credit for winning the championship.
Cook, Bowling and Emanuel Briguglio
were named on the National Rifle As-
sociation's "Golden Bullet" team, the
all-America of rifle shooting, and Joe
Decker, Jack Wasson and Hilton Carter
were picked on the second team. It
was another record-smashing per-
formance.

The Terps fired approximately 100,-
000 rounds last year, winning 21
shoulder-to-shoulder matches plus the
majority of their postal contests.
There's no such thing as a practice
round — every target counts, so they
were on the bulls-eye every time they
pulled the trigger. And if you want to
know one of the reasons for Maryland's
success the colonel says it was absti-
nence from cigars. A puff or two on a
cigarette before a match will do no
harm, but the stogies make the little
black spot bounce like a bad check.

GEORGE L. CARROLL

George Leo Carroll, of Philadelphia,
has taken over as athletic publicity di-
rector at the University of Maryland,
succeeding William H. (Bill) Hottel,
who relinquished the job to do some
special work at* the University, it was
announced by Walter S. Driskill, ath-
letic director.

Carroll, who is 26 years of age, is a
1942 graduate in journalism from St.
Joseph's College of Philadelphia, and
did publicity at his alma mater last
year after four years in the Marine
Corps. He did promotional work for
the Philadelphia Inquirer Charities and
for the 100-mile AAA national auto
lacing championships. He was also
associated with Franny Murray, well
Known Philadelphia sportscaster on
various broadcasts. While in the ser-
vice Carroll was sports editor of the
Camp Lejeune Globe at Camp Le-
jeune, N. C. and covered major foot-
ball games as a Marine Corps Corres-
pondent. He also served in Washing-
ton as associate editor of Headquarters
Bulletin, official U. S. Marine Corps
publication. Carroll has assumed his
duties at College Park and is busy
getting matters lined up for the foot-
ball campaign.

Bill Hottel, for many years a close
friend and associate of Dr. H. C. Byrd,
President of the University, did
public relations work at Maryland for
more than 25 years, but in recent years
confined himself to athletic publicity.
He assumed the public relations job in
1922, which then embraced both general
and sports publicity, but he was allied
with Dr. Byrd even before the latter

WEST VIRGINIA

The Mountaineers are rough old dears,

They love their pleasure hearty,

They throw their janes through window panes

Each time they give a party.

Judge Kenna Clark, of Fairmount,
W. Va., Chairman of the West Virginia
State Athletic Commission, was waited
upon by a committee of citizens who
complained that they believed the pro-
fessional wrestling matches were fixed
and they wanted the judge to do some-
thing about it.

"You like movies?", asked Judge
Clark.

"Sho do", replied the committee
spokesman.

"Like Humphrey Bogart?", asked
the Judge.

"He's a fine actor", was the reply.

"Well", reminded Clark "you know
every fellow he shoots in the movies
doesn't really die."

Civilization moves forward and we
recall the reports, some years ago, out
of Miles City, Montana, when the irate
populace tried to lynch a whole the-
atrical company when the audience
learned that the actors were shooting
blanks and that all the dead actors got
up from there and walked right out'n
the stage door. The crowd demanded
their money back. And then there was
the French- Canadian backwoodsman,
armed with an axe, who chased a car-
nival performer clear out of Medicine
Hat because the guy was sawing a per-
fectly good looking woman in half.

THEY COPPED A TITLE IN ANOTHER LEAGUE!

Lower insert shows Coach Bobby Goldstein. The team, left to right: Len Rodman, terrific punching heavyweight; Herbie Gunther Southern
Conference 175 pound champion; Johnny Gilmore, 165; Alex Bobenko, 155; Hotsy Alperstein, 145; Tom Jones, 135; Jud Lincoln, 127; Joe Cicala, 120.

THESE Terrapins were Champions!
We recall them here, hoping such
action will inspire present and future
Maryland teams in all branches of
sport.

These Terrapins, when their own lea-
gue folded due to the war back in 1942,
hopped over into the other fellows'
briar patch and p'cked up the marbles.

The Southern Conference, in 1942,
called off its Tournament. The Eastern
Intercollegiate loop invited the Terps as
"guests". They were not very polite
guests. They brought home the title.
That was the last of such invitations.

The team pictured herewith accom-
plished the remarkable feat of winning
a team title without winning a single
individual championship.

The 1942 Terps were coached by Bob-
by Goldstein, former national 135
pound champion from the University of
Virginia. Bobby was one of five suc-
cessive coaches who held the fort at
Maryland for one year at a time. Four
of them, Mike Lombardo, Goldstein,

Tom Campagna and Fausto Rubini left
for the service. Paddy Kane held the
job in 1945. Heinie Miller, Maryland's
coach who left in 1940, returned in
1946.

Unlike previous Maryland titular
teams this squad did not enjoy an un-
defeated season. They lost to Virginia,

However, they drew with South Caro-
lina, defeated Western Maryland, Vir-

North Carolina.

In the Eastern Intercollegiate Tour-
nament, including Virginia, Coast
Guard and other Eastern teams, Terra-
pins Hotsy Alperstein, 145 ; Herby Gun-
ther, 175; Jud Lincoln, 127; Joe Cicala,
120; and Johnny Gilmore, 165 were
eliminated in the finals. But each of
them won tlu'ee points and, added up,
that gave the Terps 15 markers and
the Eastern Intercollegiate Boxing
Championship.

This was a well balanced, hard fight-
ing team that, regardless of the breaks
against them, kept on pitching its level
best. Winning the Eastern title proved
great spirit. Never before nor since
had a team won a title without
winning individual championships and
never before had a Maryland team in-
vaded another Conference to bring
home the bacon.

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 1 is
Homecoming Day. To all alumni
this is an important date for it
represents a climax in the efforts of
many interested alumni. Your Home-
coming program in this issue reveals
that on this date five separate groups
are undertaking the formation of
school alumni associations. Unlike
Topsey, this dream of a strong alumni
group for the Uni-
versity of Maryland
did not grow alone.
Behind what we
hoped will prove
the most successful
alumni organization
in Maryland's h i s -
tory, there is a net-
work of careful
planning and con-
scientious thought.
You will find also
the expenditure of
an enormous
amount of volun-
tary energy. If the
plan is successful,
and we have no
other thought, ap-
preciation from all of us must go to
the Alumni Board of Managers, Presi-
dent Byrd, the Board of Regents, and
school alumni Steering, Nominating,
and Constitutional Committees. Credit
also must be given those who have
contributed financially to a program
designed to launch an aggressive and
coordinated alumni plan.

No individual or group can debate the
wealth of power which lies in the hands
of 22,000 alumni of the University of
Maryland. We have only to choose
well our objectives and then act. Many
eyes are upon the University alumni
body, for the organization of indi-
vidual school associations as segments
of an overall alumni group is revolu-
tionary in the alumni field. We want
every alumnus with us on Homecoming
Day in order that each may be a mem-
ber of the team at the kick-off.

requested to assume the responsibility
of notifying the Alumni Office concern-

to know full name, the home address,

sible for the casualty.

VOLUNTARY SUPPORT

It is not a pleasant task to continu-
ally ask why our Honor Roll of contri-
butors is steadily growing, but to date
only two percent of alumni have con-
tributed to the support of the publica-
tion "MARYLAND" and to alumni ac-
tivities. A great deal of expense was
incurred and the figure continues to
grow to publish an alumni magazine
worthy of the University and of the
alumni who represent it. Many felt
the interest in such a publication would

be keen and generous support forth-
coming. To date these individuals have
been disappointed. Now it becomes a
question of how much longer we can
continue the publication of the best
magazine in the alumni field. The so-
lution is obvious. Verbal and written
comments prove we appreciate the
magazine and want to continue it in its
present form. We ask as a special
favor that those of you who have ne-
glected the subscription blank take
time to give us your support for the
months ahead. If we did not have a
serious problem we would not burden
you with it here.

HOW COME?

Perhaps you have wondered why you
read incorrect information about your-
self or others in "Maryland." Someone
is sure to complain, "They've got Bill's
history listed right, why not mine?"
The chances are that Bill filled in his
alumni history record blank and we
have the latest information about his
location and activities. Your record
will set us straight on your proper ad-
dress also. We still want to publish an
alumni directory and we are tied hand
and foot until we get more word from
more people. If you do not have a
blank we will gladly send one to you.
If the magazine is not coming to a for-
mer student he has not sent in an
alumni history form. The data you
supply is filed permanently in your in-
dividual folder in the alumni records.
We need your complete record.

COMING HOME

We are able this year to plan for a
really great Homecoming because an-
other conflict is behind us. As we
stretch out a hand on Homecoming Day
and say, "Excuse me, but aren't you

?" we may very well recall

those who cannot give us a return salu-
tation. These are the men on our Gold
Star list. They would have enjoyed be-
ing with the group of plain folks gath-
ered to recall days of the past and to
lay plans for the future. Like the rest
of us, they loved and struggled and
sacrificed. They too wanted to live.
With us they would have been think-
ing about a fitting memorial on the
campus of the University of Maryland
for those who had not returned. We
can please them best by making this
the greatest Homecoming in our his-
tory and by laying the ground work
which will perpetuate their service to
us all.

"WELCOME HOME!"

Alumni Should Insist
That The Highest
Standards Be Main-
tained In Residence
Education And
Other Services

By Dr. H. C. Byrd

President,
University of Maryland

THE University of Maryland is a
tribute to the vision of those men
and women in Maryland who believe in
a state and a nation supported by an
intelligent electorate, alive to obliga-
tions as citizens, and concerned with
methods by which to make these obli-
gations effective. More than ever are
our state leaders awakening to the rea-
lization that in education of all the peo-
ple lies the hope of democratic institu-
tions.

These leaders believe that liberty
can only be preserved by those who are
intelligent enough to appraise liberty
at its true value.

The University of Maryland is the
medium through which the state ren-
ders certain services that develop
a better economic and social life, and,
consequently, a higher standard of liv-
ing.

For a Higher Standard

The University of Maryland, through
its connection with the State Board
of Agriculture, also is an enforcement
institution, in that it is charged with
the obligation to see that nothing is
done to break down standards set up
by the state in the agricultural indus-
tries.

A Vital Part of Life

An institution like the University of
Maryland, with obligations so far-
reaching, with services so necessary to
the welfare of the state's people, with
broad educational programs that mean
an enlightened, democratic, government
operating for the welfare of all, is a
vital part of the life of the people of the
state. The University must have the
courage to exert that form of leader-
ship which, at times, may be more far
seeing, but not popular. Leadership
carries responsibilities as well as op-
portunities.

The University has grown because
the people of the state need its services,
and the extent to which it will continue
to grow depends entirely on how the
University fulfills its responsibilities to
the people. The University cannot now,
possibly cannot ever, do all the things

that the people of the state want done.
What it may accomplish is limited by
its income, but it will at all times
carry on such work and projects as the
people of the state demand and for
which they are willing to provide funds.

Serious Responsibilities

On Homecoming Day, every alumnus
who is at College Park should realize
that his University is charged with
serious responsibilities and that its
staff is embued with high resolves.
Every alumnus will no doubt regard
with pride and satisfaction the position
that his University holds as a part of
the state government. Every alumnus
will no doubt insist, and rightly, that
the highest standards be maintained in
residence education and in other ser-
vices that are rendered. He will rea-
lize, too, that it is the obligation of the
University to provide education for all
in the state who can avail themselves
of the opportunities that it offers. This
does not mean that every man who
wants to be an engineer can be an
engineer, or that every man or woman
who wants to be a doctor can be a doc-
tor, but it does mean that every man
who wants to improve himself should
be able to find some department in the
University through which his particu-
lar capacities or capabilities can be de-
veloped so that he may be equipped to
create for himself a place in life satis-
factory to himself and to his com-
munity.

Value of Athletics

Athletics in the University of Mary-
land are carried on as a part of the
educational program. No one would
deny that football, boxing, basketball,
baseball, track, and other competitive
sports have their parts in the building
of men. No one denies any more that
the experiences of discipline and sacri-
fice in these sports offers one of the
best training grounds for the develop-
ment of character and courage and per-
severence, and ability to work under
pressure, that are so needed.

The University of Maryland has close
to 25,000 alumni. These alumni are its
products and the good that it does, the
influence that it exerts on the future of
the state and nation, is measured by
the ability and character and courage
and resourcefulness of these men and
women. The University's responsibility
is their responsibility. Theirs is the
duty to put into action the fundamental
principles on which democratic insti-
tutions are founded. The University
knows that they will not fail.

"On Homecoming: Day every alumnus should
realize that his University is charged with seri-
ous responsibilities and that its staff is embued
with high resolves."

y^zyCJ^^c^

In the name of the Board of Regents,
the members of the faculty and stu-
dents, I welcome you all to the Univer-
sity on 1947 Homecoming Day on which
a group of University of Maryland men
test their physical and moral strength
against a representative of a sister
state institution, the University of West
Virginia.

Welcome, West Virginia!

We extend to the University of West
Virginia people who are our guests on
Homecoming Day a second welcome,
nonetheless sincere because it comes
second to the welcome to those students
who constitute our own family.

We hope that the University of
Maryland will win, but we know that
both teams cannot win. We do know,
though, that whichever team may be the
winner, or whichever may be the loser,
the game represents that type of train-
ing and education which is making the
young men of today into the leaders
who will maintain the United States
as the leader among nations of the
world.

COURAGE

Courage, by keeping the senses quiet
and the understanding clear, puts us
in a condition to receive true intelli-
gence, to make computations upon dan-
ger, and pronounce rightly upon that
which threatens us. Innocence of life,
consciousness of worth, and great ex-
pectations, are the best foundations of
courage. These ingredients make richer
cordial than youth can prepare; they
warm the heart at eighty, and seldom
fail in operation. — Elmes

WOMEN'S PART AT MARYLAND

ADELE STAMP

Dean of Women.

IT is difficult for the College Park
alumni to realize that in the profes-
sional schools of our University, wo-
men were admitted as early as 1872.
In that year one woman enrolled in the
School of Dentistry. It is interesting
to note that she came from Pennsyl-
vania. From 1873 to 1879 five women
from Germany entered, and two more
from Prussia. No more women entered
until 1900, when Clara C. Walker from
Pennsylvania was admitted. The fol-
lowing year Mary Parker Bosley from
Maryland was registered.

Dental College First
Registered Women
As Early As 1872

By Adele Stamp

Dean of Women

In 1898 one woman was graduated
in Pharmacy. She was an English
noblewoman, Lady Mary Johnson. She
asked to have her title put on her di-
ploma, but this was denied her as
"titles are not permitted generally". At
the present time, however, she is list-
ed among the alumni as Lady Mary
Johnson. The Baltimore Sun of May
20, 1898 listed Miss L. M. Johnson as
one of the graduates. The reader may
be interested to learn what the Com-
mencement speaker, Dr. Jere Knode
Cooke, then Assistant Rector of Grace
Church, said in speaking of the first
woman graduate:

The First

"This is the first time in the history
of the school that a woman has been
favored with a diploma. In times past
woman has been delegated to the rear;
indeed, it has been thought that her
duties were confined to household work,
even to handling the kettles and pans,
but now woman has come forward, and
has begun the battle of the survival of
the fittest. She has not acquired this
position by her winning ways or her
pretty face, but has won her position
by her intellect. I congratulate the
Maryland College of Pharmacy for
having opened its doors to women. To

you, young men of this class, I would
say to be careful that you are not rele-
gated to the rear."

Women were admitted to the School
of Medicine in 1918, and to the Law
School in 1920.

At College Park, the yearbook of
1908 carried the picture of Miss Flora
Darling, who registerd in 1907 for a
special two years course. In 1918 Miss
Emma Jacobs, from Washington, re-
ceived her Master's Degree, and in 1919

THE FASHION SHOW

[2]

a Miss Grace Holmes, a teacher from
Washington, D. C, received her B.S.
degree. The first woman, however, to
enter as a full-time student, spending
four years on our college campus, reg-
istered in 1916 and graduated in 1920.
She was Elizabeth Hook Day of Balti-
more. Very few women attended the
University until 1922, when ninety-
four registered, and approximately
twenty of these were freshmen. It
was in this year that the Department
of the Dean of Women was established.
The increased enrollment of women
made necessary the creation of a sepa-
rate department, which would direct
the social activities of the women stu-
dents, counsel and guide them, super-
vise their housing needs, and, in short,
organize their entire life.

Department of Dean of Women

It is very difficult to define the duties
of the Dean of Women in exact terms.
The office is both an administrative
and a personnel office. The aim of
the department is to practice and per-
fect the ideals of human relationship,
as well as the handling of adminis-
trative duties. The business of the
office is the welfare of women students
from every angle. The staff deals with
students as individuals, and the work is
based on a careful study of the inter-
ests, abilities, and needs of each stu-
dent. The program is one of construc-
tive, cooperative guidance, directing the
stream of life that flows in and out of
the University.

In 1937, 786 women students were
registered. This year saw the addition
of two Assistant Deans to help with
the expanding program. In 1946-47
there were approximately 1900 women,
which indicated a corresponding in-
crease in the responsibilities of the
Office of the Dean of Women. The two
Assistant Deans are Miss Rosalie Les-
lie and Miss Marian Johnson.

CONGA LINE

A whirl of social activity serves persons of introvertive, as well as extrovertive tendencies.

CONFERENCE

Corinne Franz, President of the Women's
League, in conference with Rachel Lewis, a
senior from Berwyn.

The largest number of women is
found in the Arts and Sciences College,
and the remainder in the following or-
der: Education, Home Economics, Busi-
ness and Public Administration, Agri-
culture, and Engineering.

Women's Activities

The first decade at the University
from 1922-1932 saw the organization of
various activities for women. The wo-
men's Student Government Association,
now called the Women's League, was
the first to be established; and Esther
Williams Newell, 1924, was the first
President. All through the years it has
proved itself a competent and effective
body in dealing with women's affairs
from every angle. It is interesting to
note that during the recent war years
two girls, Dorothy Douglas Sullivan
'44 and Frances Pfeiffer Miller '44,
served as president of the student body.
Their administrations were marked
with efficiency and honesty.

The Women's Senior Honor Society
was founded in the spring of 1925. Ten
years later this coveted organization
became Mortar Board. Membership in
this organization, the coveted prize
among college women, is awarded to
the Senior women who have been most
outstanding in scholarship, leadership,
and service during their college days.
This is considered so important an
event in the lives of the tappees that
their parents are notified secretly in
advance so they can be present at the
impressive tapping ceremony.

[3]

The Honor Society for Freshmen Wo-
men, organized in 1930, became Alpha
Lambda Delta, the National Honor So-
ciety, in 1934. Membership is based
solely on scholarship. A Freshman
must have an average of 3.5 to be
eligible. Their motto is "Intellectual
Living." Twenty students recently
made the Alpha Lambda Delta average
in their first semester. By an early
recognition of this fine beginning, these
women are stimulated to maintain this
high average, while others are encour-
aged to emulate them. It is interest-

was established in the first decade. It
handles competently the affairs of the
various sororities. Thirteen National
Sororities have chapters on our campus.
They are: Alpha Omicron Pi, Kappa
Kappa Gamma, Kappa Delta, Delta
Delta Delta, Alpha Xi Delta, Phi Sig-
ma Sigma, Alpha Delta Pi, Sigma Kap-
pa, Gamma Phi Beta, Alpha Epsilon
Phi, Pi Beta Phi, Delta Gamma, and
Kappa Alpha Theta.

good one), one small space on the very
top floor of the Agriculture Building,
large enough for only one person to
shoot, and a very interested and very
excellent coach, Sergeant Simmonds.
The next year there were two army
rifles, in addition to the coach and
range. That year, to everyone's sur-
prise, the University came out second
in the National Championship. The
following year the team won the Na-
tional Championship. Rifle was a favo-
rite sport for approximately fifteen
years. During that period the Univer-
sity won another National Champion-

ship, several seconds, and usually came
out near the top. Gradually, the inter-
est and emphasis shifted to other
sports.

When the first Gym Armory was
completed and the women were per-
mitted to use it at certain stated times,
the following sports were added: basket
ball, volley ball, track, and archery.
The Women's Athletic Association was
organized in 1924. In 1930 a full time
Physical Education faculty member was
appointed, and in 1931 the present Wo-
men's Field House was completed.

University at War

With the coming of the second world
war, almost over night the physical
aspect of the University campus chang-
ed. The A.S.T.P. took over the men's
dormitories and Margaret Brent Hall,
thus keeping the proportion of boys
to girls in preponderance. The boys
were under a strict military regime,
and as a result, the social life of our
campus changed materially. After-din-
ner dances were terminated at 7:30
P.M., and only on Saturday nights
could they dance until midnight. On
Sundays, the sororities and nearby resi-
dents entertained the A.S.T.P.'s at din-
ner; and one sorority (Alpha Xi Delta)
instigated dancing lessons for those
who could not dance. Dozens of boys
flocked to the house for the popular
instruction. Many romances flowered,
and in the fall of 1942 it was difficult
for the young people to realize the tra-
gic path that lay ahead.

After one year, the A.S.T.P. was
withdrawn and the University almost
became a woman's college for the rest
of the war. During the war years our
program, of necessity, was concerned
chiefly with the war effort and the prob-
lems incident to the war. The Univer-
sity changed from the two semester

one of the most colorful on our campus.

An account of women at Maryland
would not be complete without mention
of Physical Education for women in the
early years. The Dean of Women was
also Head of Physical Education for
Women. There was no field house or
gym, no playing field, and no equip-
ment at that time. In the spring of
1923, one tennis court was built for
women between Gerneaux Hall (now
Gamma Phi Beta House) and the Prac-
tice House. In consequence, the first
sport organized was that of The Rifle
Club. The equipment for the latter
consisted of one army rifle (not a very

system to the year around quarter sys-
tem of three months each, thus making
it possible for students to graduate in
three years and take their place in the
war effort. Many of our former campus
leaders were killed. This brought the
war very close to the University doors.
Tragedy and sorrow, complicated by
difficult adjustments and problems,
multiplied. Students came to the office
of the Dean of Women as never before,
with their problems of delayed or im-
mediate marriages, accelerated pro-
grams, and women's place in a world
at war and in a post war world. Their
problems were both emotional and aca-
demic. • As never before tact, sympathy,
experience, courage, and understanding
were needed on the part of those who
guided the youth.

Answered the Call

The women students were quick to
respond to the call for service to their
country during the war years. A num-
ber of them interrupted their college
education and donned the uniforms of
the WAVES, the WACS, and the
SPARS. Nurses trained at Maryland
entered every theatre of action to bring
comfort to the sick and wounded. The
ones left behind threw their efforts into
the Red Cross and Victory Council.
Scrap metal was collected. Blood do-
nations were offered unhesitatingly.
Dances were sponsored to sell war
bonds. The Women's Glee Club made
frequent trips to nearby camps and U.
S.O. Centers to entertain the soldiers.
Individuals and sororities signed up to
serve as hostesses at the canteen cen-
ters. The Red Cross provided enter-
tainment for patients in the hospitals,
and dormitories invited convalescents
to their dances. A signal honor came to
the University College Unit Chapter of
the American Red Cross when it was
chosen as the one to be visited by
foreign delegates.

In these various ways the women of
Maryland "kept the home fires burn-
ing" for those in service and contri-
buted in winning our nation's greatest
war.

Housing
The most pressing need all through
the years has been for living space.
From the early days of the Y-Hut,
Gerneaux Hall, and the Home Eco-
nomics Practice House, which housed
only fifty seven girls, to the present, the
problem has been acute. From 1928
until 1931 every possible off-campus
house and room that could be found
were used. In 1931, Margaret Brent,
the first dormitory built for women,
was completed. This dignified colonial
structure, set high on a rolling hill,
added much to the beauty of Mary-
land's campus. In 1935 Ann Arundel
Hall was completed, to be the second
dormitory for women, and to serve as
the keystone of the University's future

building program for women's dormi-
tories.

The war years further complicated
the housing picture. Margaret Brent
was taken over by the A.S.T.P., and
women students had to occupy four
fraternity houses (Sigma Chi, Phi Delta
Theta, Kappa Alpha, and Alpha Gam-
ma Rho). When the A.S.T.P. left, the
women moved back into Margaret
Brent, kept two of the fraternity
houses, and overflowed into Calvert Hall
and two new men's dormitories. When
UNRRA Training Center was closed,
this space was also used for women.
The end of the war found the University
unprepared for such a sudden and a
radical contraction of its living space
for both men and women. The women
who once occupied most of the men's
quarters had to be placed in the pre-
sent two dormitories for women and
two borrowed from the men. There
are 570 residential women on the cam-
pus this year. Approximately 375 girls
live in the sororities and the off-campus
houses. The rest commute. Among this
latter group there are girls who spend
from two to three hours a day commut-
ing and who would like to find living
accommodations on the campus.

Alumni

We point with pride to the record of
the alumnae of Maryland through the
years. We find our women graduates
holding important positions and play-
ing a leading role all over the State
in such civic bodies as American As-
sociation of University Women, Wo-
men's Clubs, League of Women Voters,
Parent-Teacher Associations, Home-
maker's Clubs, and American Red
Cross. World War II found them scat-
tered all over the globe as officers in
the WAVES, WACS, SPARS, Women's

aryland ,

my Maryland

Marine Corps, with American Red
Cross, and with our own and other
hospital units as dietitians and nurses.

Future plans for women at Maryand
include expanded housing facilities.
Within the near future three new dormi-
tories for women will be constructed.
The money for these greatly needed
buildings has already been appropriated
by the State Legislature. They will be
located in the vicinity of Ann Arundel
and Margaret Brent. Ultimately, we
will have five units for women, con-
nected by a colonnade. Money has also
been appropriated for a community ac-
tivity building, which will fill a long
felt need. In the not too distant future
it is hoped an outdoor swimming pool
will be constructed.

Future plans also call for counsellors
in the dormitories to help students with
their immediate problems. To meet the
demand for deans of girls in high
schools, and like positions in institu-
tions of higher learning, it is planned
to give training in this field in con-
junction with the College of Education.
The work will be on the graduate level,
find majors in this field will gain their
experience in the women's residence
halls.

QUIP A DAY

James L. Case, an East Boston drug-
gist, who for years has been mixing
advertising with a little modern philo-
sophy, finds the prescription a success.
Every day for twenty-nine years, Mr.
Case has called a timely anecdote on
a three by five slate, prominently dis-
played in his store window. Beneath
the witticism he gets in a brief com-
mercial.

That Bostonians approve of the
blackboard and its pertinent messages,
there can be no doubt. Mr. Case's
pharmacy is new a landmark in the
district. Boston school children are
often instructed to glean some of Mr.
Case's advice ^or their compositions.
A leading Boston newspaper recently
devoted several columns, complete with
picture, to the story of the Case black-
board.

Case quip.s range from those with a
moral . . . "Money doesn't grow on
sprees", "The human body is a re-
markably sensitive thing; pat a man's
back and his head swells." "The higher
you feel at night, the lower you feel
in the morning" ... to straight humor
. . ."A hula girl is a shake in the grass."

With a keen sense of humor and a
novel idea, Mr. Case has turned an
ordinary drug store window into an
institution. As Mr. Case himself might
put it (on his blackboard of course) he
owes his present enviable position in
the community to starting each day off
with a "clean slate".

Spiritual Emphasis Ox The Campus

ST. ANDREW'S CHAPEL
College Park

THE University of Maryland re-
cognizes the importance of the
spiritual development of the students
by cooperating with the religious
group and local churches in promoting
their programs on the campus. Religion
on this, a State University campus, is
placed on a purely voluntary basis.
Here, as elsewhere, freedom of wor-
ship is guaranteed.

Though assisting the religious or-
ganizations in every way possible, the
University does not require attend-
ance at religious services, nor does it
offer a course in religion which the stu-
dents must take. The University re-
cognizes, as does the government, that
religion and the State are, though al-
lied, separate entities; so the matter
of religion is left to the individual stu-
dent's conscience.

Medium for Worship

The religious clubs, sponsored by
each denomination, provide a medium
for worship and service. Wise and
friendly student pastors assist these
clubs in their programs and counsel

the students who seek their advice. The
various religious clubs unite their ef-
forts from time to time in worthwhile
projects, such as the Religious Life
Reception for new students during
Freshman Week, a Thanksgiving can-
tata, a religious pageant at Christmas,
and Religious Emphasis periods.

Relief Packages

The clubs have taken a particular
interest in sending relief packages over-
seas, in collecting clothes for under-
privileged children, in spreading the
Christmas spirit to less fortunate
homes near the University, and in
making the foreign students on the
University campus feel more at home
in a new community.

Each year the Hillel Foundation of-
fers a $300 scholarship in honor of the
late Rabbi Israel to the student who in
his or her Religious Life on the Uni-
versity of Maryland Campus junior
year has a record of having contribut-
ed most to interfaith understanding
and cooperation. This scholarship has
been offered for three years. It is in

teresting to note that each year a girl
has been the recipient — Marjorie Pfeif-
fer '45, Mary Ellen Wentz '46, and
Carol Haase '47.

Throughout the school year, out-
standing speakers and spiritual lead-
ers are invited to the campus by the
Faculty Religious Life Committee, in
co-operation with the Student Re-
ligious Council. In recent years, the
following have spoken at the Univer-
sity: Dr. Ralph W. Sockman, Congress-
man Walter H. Judd, Dr. Peter Mar-
shall, the Rev. Samuel Shoemaker, Dr.
Ruth Seabury, Madame Chu Shih-
Ming, Dr. Sverre Norberg, Dr. Wesley
Gewehr, Mr. Ivan A. Jacobson, and Dr.
Raymond Seeger. The inspiration
which these speakers have brought to
our campus has been immeasurable.

Chapel Needed

It was through the students in the
religious groups that interest was first
focused on the need for an interde-
nominational chapel. From this small
beginning various State groups, such
as the Grange, have backed such a cha-
pel. It now appears that this dream
will be realized within the near future.
Such an edifice will serve well the
students of the University and the citi-
zens of the State. It can be the heart
and soul of a great and an expanding
University.

ON BOARD OF REGENTS

Mrs. John L. Whitehurst.

MRS. JOHN L. WHITEHURST

THE appointment of Mrs. John L.
Whitehurst to the Board of Re-
gents of the University of Maryland in
1934 by the late Governor Ritchie was a
signal honor. She was the first woman
appointed to this distinguished position,
and she continues to be the only woman
to serve on this important body. She
was reappointed by Governor Nice, but
since his term of office was up before
her term expired she was ratified by
Governor 'Conor. She has served
thirteen and one-half years, and re-
cently has been reappointed by Gover-
nor Lane for another term of nine
years. Her appointment at the begin-
ning, and at present, continues to be
met with widespread interest and ap-
proval.

She brought to this important post
both training and experience. Her
appointment to increasingly significant
offices during her years on the Board
of Regents is proof of the wisdom
exercised in her selection. Mrs. White-
hurst has boundless energy and enthu-
siasm. She is interested in people and
in being of service to others. Her
chief interest is women, however, and
the part they should play in these
difficult times. She is outstanding as a
person, noted for her friendliness, in-
terest, candor, and courage. If she
believes in a cause, nothing will stop
her. She is not easily frightened, and
is determined to carry through what-
ever she undertakes.

She is in great demand as a speaker
on both national and international pro-
grams. When she was President of the
General Federation of Women's Clubs
she visited England, Scotland, Ireland,
Mexico, Cuba, and the Dominican Re-
public as an official guest of these
countries.

Some of the important positions she
has held other than the Presidency of
the General Federation are President
of the Maryland Federation of Women's
Clubs, President of Southeastern Coun-
cil of Federation of Women's Clubs,
Member of Executive Committee of
the Women's Board of the University
Hospital, and Parliamentarian of the
Baltimore Music Club. At present she
is a Director of the Baltimore Sym-
phony Orchestra Association, and of the
Child Study Association of Baltimore.
She is regional chairman of the Na-
tional Education Association of the
Adult Education Forum. Her latest
honor, and' certainly one of her most
important, is that of Extension Secre-
tary for Foreign and Territorial Clubs
of the General Federation. She feels
that the greatest deterrent to peace is
the lack of understanding between the
peoples of the world. In an effort to pro-
mote understanding and friendship she
has launched a program for Club Ex-
tension in foreign countries on a scale
never before attempted. Her four point
program consists of:

1. Club extension in foreign and
tentorial countries.

2. Letter writing and exchange of
literature.

3. Food and clothing sent to needy
persons in foreign countries.

4. Exchange of teachers and stu-
dent scholarships.

Although born in Pennsylvania, the
State of Maryland is proud to claim
her because of the services she has
rendered. The University also is
proud of this adopted daughter, and
appreciates her efforts on behalf of
this great expanding institution of
which we are so proud.

WELL LOCATED

The University of Maryland has long
been recognized as having the unusual
advantages over other institutions of
its country air and spaciousness, com-
bined with the opportunities afforded by
nearness to metropolitan Baltimore and
Washington. The College of Home Eco-
nomics of the University makes every
effort to extend to its students full
benefit of these opportunities.

Both Washington and Baltimore serve
students with excellent libraries, mu-
seums and art galleries for individual
special projects as well as for class
visits. Old homes, with their beautiful
gardens, of Maryland, Georgetown, and
nearby Virginia, are interesting to the
students both artistically and histori-
cally. These houses and their furnish-
ings and equipment depict family liv-
ing during the early days of our coun-
try.

Being near the federal government
gives students the opportunity to know
first-hand what the Bureau of Human
Nutrition and Home Economics, the
Bureau of Standards, and other re-
search agencies are doing to better fam-
ily living through research. This also
makes it possible for students to be-
come familiar with legislation such as
that of the School Lunch Bill in the
process of being enacted.

Markets, both wholesale and retail;
plants concerned with food processing,
such as meat packing, baking, food
freezing and storage, canning, and the
preparation of tea, coffee, and condi-
ments are accessible for an afternoon
trip. Hotels, hospitals, inns, clubs, res-
taurants, catering establishments, illu-
strate to majors in Institution Manage-
ment the application of such training,
and provide opportunities for part time
experience or summer employment. De-
partment stores, specialty shops for
clothing, and household furniture are

near at hand for the majors in Practi-
cal Art and in Clothing, both for visit-
ing and for sales and merchandising
experience.

Our proximity to two important cities
makes it convenient for extra lectur-
ers to visit classes, and for outstanding
persons in Home Economics to be pres-
ent and meet students interested in
their fields.

Occasional group visits to New York
for tours of food and other institutions
add another important incentive to the
usual classroom work.

The theme for the 1947 Short Course
was —

"Today's Home Builds Tomor-
row's World".

The week's program is filled with
subject matter classes from 8:00 to
10:00 each morning. General assembly
is held from 10:00 to 12:00 and from
2:00 until 4:00 p m. Each evening
there is a social event of some kind.

Vesper Services are held in the Ar-
mory the first evening. One of the
highlights of this service was the Wash-

ington Boys' Choir from the First Cal-
vary Baptist Church.

On Tuesday evening, June 17, was
the annual reception given by Dr.
Byrd. This is really the only formal
event of the entire week.

Because the Short Course was of
age this year, we celebrated by having
a symphony orchestra on Wednesday
evening. This was the first time in
the history of the Short Course to have
an orchestra on the program.

Thursday night the different counties
put on a Stephen Foster Pageant. This
was a very gay event. The audience
came dressed in costumes of the Ste-
phen Foster period and the pageant it-
self was a very lovely affair to see
and hear.

On Friday morning the program was
followed as in previous years of giving
certificates to the women who had at-
tended Short Course for four years.
The speaker of the morning was Dr.
Peter Marshall from the First Congre-
gational Church in Washington, who
spoke on the subject, "The Keeper of
the Spring."

In the afternoon the annual sight-
seeing trip was taken to Washington.
This trip has become traditional and
women look forward to it each year.

The general assembly programs will
long be remembered for the very fine
speakers who left inspiring messages.

Venia M. Kellar, Assistant Director
of Extension, says that the Short
Course is a week that lives in the mem
ory of every woman who attends. The
program serves as an inspiration and
sets standards and ideals for rural home
life in Maryland.

RURAL WOMEN'S COURSE

The annual Rural Women's Short
Course, or "College Week for Women,"
sponsored each year by the Home De-
monstration Department of the Ex-
tension Service and held at the Univer-
sity of Maryland, became of age in
June. This important week in the lives
of all Maryland women was started
in 1923 and has been held annually
except for four years during the war.

In 1946 it was continued with a new
vision and a new purpose, and with the
largest number ever to attend any
Short Course. The 1947 Short Course
was attended by practically 1,000 wo-
men. Each of the twenty-three coun-
ties was represented by women who
were interested in spending the week
at the University. They arrived with
as much enthusiasm as a group of co-
eds. They registered Monday, June
16th and were assigned to their differ-
ent classes for the week.

Girls' Club Agent

4-H Club work is a phase of Coopera-
tive Extension work that provides an
opportunity for boys and girls, ages

10-21, to have a more rich and satisfy-
ing experience in their rural life.
The girls' 4-H Club work is under the
direction of the Home Demonstration
department and supervised on the
county level by the Home Demonstra-

tion Agents.

Last year 6,544 Maryland girls were
4-H'ers, and they reported completing
in their project work, 17,986 garments,
107,226 meals prepared, and 128,875
quarts of food canned.

The 1947-1948 formal rushing season
began with approximately 350 new co-

whereby the rushees were divided into

For Women

Some Of The Best Of
The World's Con-
cert, Stage And
Itailio Personages
Appear On Campus

^W^ WO years ago the University of
_M. Maryland inaugaurated a cultural
program for students. This program
was planned by a joint committee of fa-
culty and students. There is no charge
to the student for any part of it.

Such well-known personages as Mona
Paulee, mezzo-soprano of the Metro-
politan Opera, and Thomas L. Thomas,
baritone of radio and concert fame,
have been brought to the campus. Other
attractions within the last two years
have been the Salzedo Ensemble, fea-
turing the world's leading harpist, Mr.
Salzedo; the Don Cossack's Male Cho-
rus, the ever popular American Ballad
singers; and the National Symphony
Orchestra, which proved to be the most
popular of all.

Wonderful Audiences

applause have confirmed the musical
appreciation of the student body as a
whole, and the student's eagerness for
this kind of entertainment. Several of
the artists have remarked on the "won-
derful audience" Maryland students
have been.

The campus offers many avenues of
expression to students whose apprecia-
tion of the arts includes creative tal-
ents. Music, dramatic, and dance
groups contribute mutually to the stu-
dents who participate and to those who
form the audiences.

CULTURAL PROGRAM

Joan Ryan, President of the Cosmopolitan
Club, helps with the Cultural Program pub-
licity.

The University Band contributes
spirit and enthusiasm to football games
and many other campus activities.

Forty to sixty women students from
all classes make up the Women's Chor-
us. The popularity of the group has
spread from concerts on campus to in-
vitations to sing at Fort Meade, Anna-
polis, and Baltimore.

DANCE AND MUSIC

Modern Dance is taught by persons who have
achieved national recognition for proficiency in
this art. Every woman student is given a foun-
dation in several physical activities.

Modern Dance has proved a success-
ful avenue of expression. The advanc-
ed groups work out the choreography
for their numbers. Their presentation
in the Spring Recital included original
compositions. A challenging activity
from all approaches, modern dance re-
quires skill in the use of muscle, mind,
emotions, originality, and in group co-
operation.

The University Theatre deserves
special merit. Now that the boys are
back to do some of the technical and
heavy backstage work and to star in
plays with difficult male roles, the per-
formances have exceeded all previous
standards. No one in the audience un-
acquainted with the lack of facilities
would suspect from the smooth per-
formance the handicaps under which
this outstanding work is accomplished.

College Has Grown
Steadily Sinee
Meager Beginning
In 1918

By Marie Mount

Dean oi the College of Home Economics

AT a recent meeting of the heads of
home economics in the Northeast
States, education for women was the
main topic for discussion. We com-
pared our part of the country with the
Middle West. Here in the East the
women's college has supplied the high-
er education for women almost en-
tirely until within the last twenty-five
years when women have attended the
coeducational state institutions and in

particular the Land Grant Colleges,
where home economics has developed
as coeducation did.

In the Middle West there were few
degree-granting women's colleges and
women attending State universities
were part of the State's educational
plan long before it was here. As more
women attended the State institutions,
those responsible for the curriculum
thought it was not enough to prove that
women could compete with men aca-
demically; they should have an edu-
cation fitting them to do the thing that
most women do — marry, manage a
home, and rear a family. Preparing
for family living became a part of
many of the midwest state educational
institutions long before women were
attending coeducational colleges here.
As such an education plan grew, pro-
fessional outlets for graduates devel-
oped, until colleges with a home eco-
nomics curriculum were giving a real
and needed service to the homes of the
State.

Started in 1918

Home Economics began at the Mary-
land University in 1918 with fever than

clothing laboratory. The enrollment in-
creased and the number of courses and
teachers increased. We moved to the
reconditioned chemistry building which
was all ours. We had very meager
equipment compared to the well equip-
ped building which we have occupied
since February, 1940. Emphasis and our
efforts were put on establishing sound,
basic courses and a good core curricu-
lum. We did not attempt to expand
beyond our facilities. Although our
program was limited, we have reason
to be proud of our roster of graduates
of those years before 1940. They have
served the State in many ways through
establishing good homes, always an
asset to a community; throughout the
State they are leading in various civic
activities. I was proud to see two of
these early graduates serving as lead-
ers with our State Congress of Parents
and Teachers this year. Many are pro-
minent professionally. Two are doing
excellent radio programs for the women
of the State; two have been successful
in industrial feeding, and another be-
came the dietitian for a large railroad.
A good number served during the war
as army dietitians. One, with the rank
of Captain, was Public Relations
Officer with the Marines at New River.
Three of our graduates are employed
oy the same firm, a large food corpora-
tion in New York City. I wish there
were space to write about all of the inter-
esting things these early graduates are
doing.

Better Facilities

Those who have graduated since 1940
had more advantages in the way of
facilities and more courses from which
to choose. The majority of this group

research with the Bureau of Home
Economics and with textile institutes;
modeling, selling clothes, or doing ad-
vertising, or personnel work with the
Department stores.

A new building (one floor of which
was left unfinished until this year)
with good equipment, met the expan-
sion of all home economics work. Ad-
vanced courses in textiles and cloth-
ing were added, also courses in com-
munity nutrition, advanced experimen-
tal food, meal service, and diet in dis-
ease. A Department of Practical Art
was established with a curriculum in
crafts and one in Practical Art for both
women and men. All phases of mer-
chandising are emphasized. Photo-
graphy, used in fashion work and in
food advertising, will be offered by this
Department. The first man to do so,
graduated with a major in Practical
Art in the College of Home Economics
this June. A number of men are reg-
istered in this department with the
idea of applying their art training to
advertising and merchandising.

Men Are Interested

Men are also interested in preparing
to be directors of food service, and are
registering in Institution Management.

A curriculum in Nursery School Edu-
cation has been added by the College
of Education. These students take
much of their work in the College of
Home Economics.

The College of Home Economics has
received a number of honors during
recent years. We were one of a group
of colleges to receive $1500 from the
Borden Company to be used for five
$300 scholarships, awarded one each
year to the senior home economics stu-
dent with the highest scholastic aver-
age.

The District of Columbia Home Eco-
nomics Association has established a
loan fund for our students and has
added to the fund each year.

Two thousand dollars were given to
Home Economics recently as a begin-
ning of a fund for scholarships. Three
$300 scholarships are offered yearly

to Home Economic students interested
in Merchandising as a career by de-
partment stores in Baltimore and
Washington.

Our College was one of sixty insti-
tutions selected by the American Home
Economics Association this year for
study in an endeaver to establish cri-
teria for evaluating home economics
curricula.

Plans for Future

We have plans for future develop-
ment: the fourth floor of our building
has been finished recently and is being
equipped now. A much needed addi-
tional clothing laboratory will bt; on
this floor; also a laboratory for photo-
graphy. Two rooms for a textiles-
laboratory will be used for teaching
textiles and will provide facilities for
textile research. Also on this floor is
an experimental foods laboratory to
be used for experimental work particu-
larly with food produced in Maryland.
Recipes famous in the State will be
tested here.

A crafts room on the ground floor
with facilities for weaving and metalry
is being finished. Also a laboratory
for home management and equipment
will be completed this year. New
laboratory courses in housework and
in the use of household equipment will
be made. We need another home man-
agement house. Because of the num-
ber of seniors in next year's class, the
home management house was operat-
ed all summer and with larger groups
than usual.

With our more complete facilities,
the College of Home Economics can
develop a real program of research.
With this will develop a larger pro-
gram of graduate studies.

This year graduate courses will be
given on Saturday in order that home
Economists who are employed, and
teachers especially, may do work to-
ward an advanced degree. By attend-
ing classes on Saturdays, and perhaps
some evening classes, it should be pos-
sible to complete work for a Master of
Science Degree in two years and two
rummer sessions.

How Girls Help Pay College Expenses

STOREKEEPER

Janice Vieau works in her father's grocery store and in a baby's ready-to-wear shop during the
summer in order to help pay her college expenses.

BABY SITTER

Jane Fowke, a sophomore in Arts and Sciences, works in the Charles Carroll home as a
mother's helper taking care of Eric, Allen and Martha for her room and board.

MANY girls help defray their
college expenses by working in
various capacities on and off the campus
during the school year and in the
summer months. It is not uncommon foi
large groups of close friends to go to
the resorts along the Eastern seaboard
to wait on tables and to help with the
recreational programs during the sum-
mer months. Some counsel in camps.
Others work in stoi'es and model in
ladies' ready-to-wear departments. For
instance, last summer Peggy Raffety,
Class of '47, modeled expensive clothes
at Bergdorf-Goodman on Fifth Avenue
in New York. A number of future
nurses gain valuable experience along
.with extra pennies working in hospi-
tals, such as the Bethesda Naval Hospi-
tal, Garfield Hospital, and the Univer-
sity of Maryland Hospital. Some stu-
dents who do not find it necessary
to work to put themselves through
school take the summer months
in which to experiment and find out by
working if they have chosen wisely
their future careers.

Capable and Ingenious

During the school year girls prove
themselves very capable and ingenious
in finding and holding positions both
on and off the campus. The following
are examples of such positions: serving
as a secretary and file clerk in pro-
fessors' offices, checking books in and
out at the library, printing the num-

bers on library books, serving meals
and clearing tables in the dining hall,
serving as cashier in the dining room,
taking calls and contacting girls at the
dormitory desks, assisting in the lab-
oratories by preparing media and clean-
ing equipment, baking cup cakes and
"jerking" sodas in the dairy, selling
books and equipment in the Students'
Supply Store, sorting mail in the post

office, typing Masters' theses, and as-
sisting the nurses in the infirmary. In
some of these positions a student may
make enough money to take care of
her room and board while in college,
providing she can give approximately
three hours a day to such endeavors.

Off Campus Jobs

Off the campus students find part-
time employment in the nearby Wash-
ington and College Park florist shops,
cleaning establishments, clothes shops,
and restaurants. There is a long list
of girls who pick up "pin money" by
sitting with babies and occasionally
looking after elderly ladies. A few
girls pay for their room and board by
giving approximately three hours a day
of their time to helping with domestic
responsibilities in a nearby, often a
faculty, home. Many girls pay for all
of their sorority expenses through part-
time and summer work. Occasionally,
a senior is found who has paid for all
of her college expenses. She, however,
usually finds it a very difficult under-
taking, both physically and mentally.
Frequently, such girls have stayed out
of school a year or so to earn enough
money to take care of their college ex-
penses. The Dean of Women's office
does not recommend that a girl work
more than three hours a day while
carrying a full schedule.

Those girls who work, almost with-
out exception, maintain that such an ex-
perience has given them a broader out-
look and a greater appreciation of
what a college education means in the
business and professional world. They
are now finding that jobs for women
are much harder to get both on and off
the campus because of the priority
given to returning veterans; therefore,
they appreciate the more the oppor-
tunities for work that come their way.

DINING HALL

Angela Puleo, Arts and Sciences pre-medical
student serves Stewart Widoof in the dining
hall. Such a position is highly sought after,
for a student can pay for her room and board
by giving three hours a day.

SPEAK AT NEPPCO

Two agricultural specialists of the
University of Maryland, as well as three
poultry breeders from this state, were
included in the schedule of speakers
for the Tenth Poultry Industry Ex-
position of the Northeastern Poultry
Producers Council which was held at
Saratoga Springs, New York.

The poultry raisers considered the
problems of making their poultry farms
pay if there is a depression in the
future, and Dr. Morely A. Jull, head of
the Poultry Department at the Univer-
sity of Maryland, spoke on the topic:
"Will Your Birds be Efficient Enough?"

H. F. Williamson, of Parsonsburg,
Maryland, acted as moderator of the
panel on "Growing Broilers More
Efficiently." Among the speakers at
this panel were Dr. Paul R. Poffen-
berger, associate Professor of agricul-
tural economics of the University of
Maryland, who explored "The Eco-

away, manager of an experimental
farm at Salisbury, Maryland, disclosed
"Recent Developments in Broiler Man-

director Walter Spearin had as his
topic: "The Importance of Chick Qual-
ity."

MAY PAY, 1947

The 1947 May Day was a Silver Anniversary affair featuring Maryland's 25th May Day. Twenty-five former Queens were invited to return to the
campus. The program featured the costumes and music of the preceding twenty-five years. It was a successful and colorful event under ideal
weather conditions. Marguerite (Weetie) Stitely was crowned Queen of the May.

MAY DAY THROUGH THE YEARS

LITTLE did the Pioneers of May
Day, the Junior women of the
class of 1924, realize that they were
making history when in May 1923 they
embarked on a new venture and inaugu-
rated the first May Day at the Univer-
sity establishing thereby an unbroken
tradition. For twenty-five years the
May Day Pageant has been held. All
through the war this tradition has been
carried on, although observed with
marked simplicity during those tragic
years. You must remember, too, that
there were only seventeen girls in that
Junior class of a quarter of a century
ago, and those pioneers established one
of our most cherished traditions, and
certainly one of our loveliest.

Many Memories

The first May Day holds many mem-
ories for alumnae of that period. None
of the girls attending Maryland at that
time will ever forget Dale Simmonds
who, in her quest for green for her
garland, returned from the woods
boasting of her "beautiful glossy green
leaves", which unfortunately were poi-
son ivy. Dale, being a city girl, did
not recognize it. She lasted through
May Day, but spent the following week
in bed. Nor will these same alumnae

ever forget the gathering of the for-
get-me-nots at dawn for the little hand
made paper baskets to be hung on each
Senior's door, containing her invita-
tion from the Junior class. Times have
changed since those early years when
the girls made their own costumes out
of cheesecloth or crepe paper, gathered
the flowers, decorated the throne, and
made the train and crown for the
Queen. Now, the crown and flowers
come from a florist, and the Horticul-
ture Department decorates the throne.
You may be interested to know how
our throne was decorated this year on

our Silver Anniversary. The canopy
was made of white lillies and wis-
teria; the lattice work in the back-
ground was covered with green and
massed with white lillies and red roses.
Palms and colorful potted plants out-
lining the steps completed the decora-
tion. We no longer hold our May Day
in front of Gerneaux Hall, the scene of
the first May Day, which is now Gamma
Phi Beta House, nor in the amphi-
theatre in front of the tunnel, nor in
the meadow in back of the Women's
Field House. We have grown so large
that now our May Day is held in front
of the Administration Building on the
beautiful green quadrangle which ex-
tends from the Administration Build-
ing to Ann Arundel Hall at the crest
of the hill.

Twenty-Five in Court

Since it was our Silver Anniversary
we had twenty-five girls in the Queen's
Court, and twenty-five in the Honor
Guard. Our Queen this year, lovely,
popular Marguerite Stitely, was dress-
ed in white with a silver train. Her
crown of white roses was touched with
silver, and her scepter was wrapped in
silver.

SILVER ANNIVERSARY

Maryland's 1947 May Day celebration was the 25th, the Silver Anniversary.

Here the first May Day Queen of twenty-five years ago, Zita Ensor HufFord, is shown crowning
this year's Queen, Marguerite ("Weetie") Stitely.

Aiding in the ceremony is Carol Haase, May Day Chairman.

At the left is Genie Simmons. At the right is Louise White.

The qualifications for which Miss Stitely was chosen as Queen include: Vice-President of Pres-
byterian Club; Member of W.R.A. 43-45; Intramurals for four years; Secretary Clef and Key,
Make-up Chairman: Off-Campus Chairman of W.S.S.F. Drive; Food Drive Committee of '45; Sec-
retary of Student Grange '45: Member of B.S.L. 43-45: Assistant Treasurer, Vice-President of
Alpha Xi Delta; President of Panhellenic Council; President of Women's League; Freshman Week
Committee for two years; "Who's Who Among Students in American Colleges"; Treasurer of Mor-
tar Board; Chosen from U. of Md. for 1947 Membership in American Association of University Women;
Program Chairman of May Day 1946: Member of Student Government Association for two years'.

The girls in the Queen's Court wore
long white dresses, and carried huge
bouquets of multi-colored spring flow-
ers tied with silver ribbon. The little
train bearers, Katherine Longridge and
Mary Jo Kleiner, daughters of alumni,
were dressed in blue organdy with
wreaths of flowers in their hair. The
flower girls, Linda Gifford, Terry
Etienne, Sylvia Ann Bogley, and Tuck-
er Ewing, also daughters of alumnae,
wearing organdy in pastel colors with
wreaths in their hair, carried baskets
of flowers decorated with silver ribbon.
Our little crown bearer, Steven Quirk
Abbey, Eleanor's second son, aged three,
dressed all in white, marched like a
soldier carrying the crown. The pillow
on which the crown rested was made
from lovely old lace given to us by Zita
Ensor Hufford, our first May Queen.
It was part of her wedding dress which
in turn was made from her Grand-
mother's wedding dress. The Honor
Guard, in long pastel dresses, carried
garlands of green. The Seniors, dressed
in traditional white, carrying the laurel
chain, were led on by Mortar Board.

Scenes of Other Days

This year the May Day Committee

decided to portray for the returning

alumni, scenes from the past May Days.

They chose five former May Days from

approximately five year periods, and
wove them into a May Day Tapestry.

The first theme chosen was Mother
Goose, and the first episode Bo Peep.
In 1928, Eleanor Freeny Adams, as Bo
Peep, was rushed across the green in
front of Gerneaux Hall with lightning
rapidity by a very determined and
frightened sheep, straining at his leash.
This year the sheep had actually to be
pushed and shoved across the May Day
green by Bo Peep. The other Mother
Goose characters were Little Miss Muf-
fet, Jack Horner, and Mary, Mary Quite
Contrary.

The second thread of the tapestry
unrolled before us scenes from the
Gypsy May Day of 1930.

Third Thread

The third thread depicted our Mary-
land May Day. All the girls of this
period will remember our tercentenary
celebration of the founding of Mary-
land, and of life in the colony. Lord
Calvert, Margaret Brent, and Marquis
de Lafayette passed before our eyes,
and the minuet was danced in colonial
costume on the green.

The fourth thread chosen out of the
tableaux of the past was that of "Fa-
mous Women Past and Present". These
included Helen of Troy, Cleopatra,
Catherine of Russia, Queen Elizabeth,

Madame Du Barry, and Pocahontas.

Scenes from "Maryland, a Miniature
of America" were enacted as the final
thread and a fitting close.

May Day closed with the tapping of
ten girls by Mortar Board. They were
Jasmine Armstrong, Mildred Burton,
Marian Benson, Marilyn Beissig, Carol
Haase, Jacqueline Hastings, Corinne
Kranz, Patty Piper, Nancy Simmons,
and Louise Stephenson.

Immediately afterwards, tea was
served by the Women's League in the
garden of Rossborough Inn for the May
Day Court, Mortar Board, their
parents and returning alumnae.

Return of Alumnae

The success of our festival was large-
ly due to the return of so many of our
former students. The first May Queen,
Zita Ensor Hufford, came back. From
the seventeen Junior girls of the very
first May Day, five were present. They
were Esther Williams Newell, Lillian
Earnest Wilson, Lucy Knox, Portia
Melown Filbert, and Salome Warren-
feltz Sturgis. Catherine Clay TerVeer,
from California, wrote her regrets and
wished us every success, as did Sarah
Morris from New York City, and Vera
Mullin Walrath from Massachusetts.
Dale Simmonds Moreau wrote from
New Jersey that she hoped to come,
bringing her two daughters, but un-
fortunately she was not here. Virginia
Brewer could not leave the Legislative
Reference Service of the Congressional
Library, while Congress was in session.

We lost one of our seventeen pion-
eers, Anna Margaret Murphy Clark, a
great many years ago. Her daughter,
Anna Margaret, graduated this June,
as did Portia's daughter, also named
Portia. The letters to the remaining
six, Ruth Alderman, Olive Castella,
Ethel Dorsey, Lillian Long Mildred
Morris, and Anne Stewart, weie re-
turned to me marked "address un-
known". If any know their where-
abouts, I would appreciate being told.

Many Returned

So many alumnae returned that it
was impossible to see all of them in the
crowd. However, from the May Queens
and their Courts, the following were
seen: Zita Ensor Hufford, Lucy Knox,
Frances Wolf, Polly Savage Snouffer,
Katherine Baker Bromley, Frances

Elizabeth Flenner Eppley.

From Far and Near
Replies were received from alumnae
from far and near, sending their regrets
and best wishes. Margaret Williams
wrote from Geneva Switzerland, where
she is employed by the State Depart-
ment and Frances Freeny Buryce
from Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, where her
husband is in command of the post.

Space does not permit me to list all
of those who replied to the invitations
sent to all Maryland women, but I shall
mention a few now scattered across the
country. Ruth Reppart Marsh, of the
class of 1923, for whom the first May
Day was given, wrote from Beaver
Falls, Pa. Her son will be ready for
college next fall. Victoria Vaiden Wor-
den, also of 1923, wrote from Dover
Delaware. From New York State re-
plies were received from the following:
Jane Beals, Norwich, Gloria Gittlieb
Faine, Long Island, Helen Reindollar
Baker, New York City, Betty Wascher,
New York City, and Velman Hailman,
Syracuse. From the middle west we

heard from Emma Shelton, who is
working toward her Ph.D. at Chicago,
Babette Sellhausen her M.A. at Indi-
ana, and Margaret Arrel Doan,
Youngstown. Vivian Bono wrote from
Dallas, Texas, saying she did not like
Southern Methodist University as well
as Maryland. Helen Beyerle sent us a
picture of her two daughters. One is
the image of Helen, and the other of
her husband. Regrets were also re-
ceived from Florence M. Hunter, from
Greenville, North Carolina, Isabel Re-
snitsky Kleinzabler, Palisades, New Jer-
sey, Flo Waldman Reid, Media, Penn-
sylvania, Katherine Barker McClenan,
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Anne Hay-
den, Huntington, West Virginia, Mar-
garet Price Pinson, Williamson, West
Virginia, and Bernice Grodjesk Bed-
rick, Linden, New Jersey. I must men-
tion a few scattered across the years
and across our own State of Maryland:
Thelma Tyler Heidelbach and Janet
Andrae Stedman from Catonsville;
Elizabeth Bonthron, Felisia Jenkins
Bracken, Eva Brooks Rochkind, Mar-
garet Wilson Webster, Loretta Dolan
Talbot, and Helen Elizabeth Brown
from Baltimore; Dorothy D. Sullivan,
from Kennedy ville; Nancy Holland from
Cumberland; Elizabeth S. Fitzell, Dun-
dalk; Mabel V. Becraft, Washington
Grove; and from Washington, D. C,
Lucille Stringer, Mary Dillon, and Caro-
lyn Buck.

An excellent colored movie was taken
by one of our students. Mr. David
Brigham, our Alumni Secretary, is
planning to show it at the regional
meetings. Those of you who were pres-
ent at this year's May Day will be in-
terested, and those who did not attend
will find this a pleasant substitute.

FLOYD E. RUSH

Dining Hall Manager.

FLOYD E. RUSH

Floyd E. Rush, for 18 years manager
of the Hotel Washington in Washing-
ton, D. C, has been named the new
manager of the University of Maryland
dining hall.

Rush, a veteran of 30 years in the
restaurant and hotel business, fills the
position formerly held by Mr. Charles
V. Delahunt, who died last spring.

A native Marylander, Rush now re-
sides at 117 Upnor Road, Baltimore.

The new manager,who already has
assumed his duties at College Park,
plans "first class" service for Mary-
land students and faculty and is mak-
ing plans for the completion of the new
dining hall addition, which will have

DR. GEO. J. KABAT

Directs the newly-instituted College of Spe-
cial and Continuation Studies.

NEW COLLEGE

Dr. George J. Kabat has been reap-
pointed to the staff of the University
to direct the newly-instituted College
of Special and Continuation Studies, a
centralization point for all after hours
and off-campus work conducted by the
University.

Dr. Kabat, a veteran of the combat
engineers and the 0. S. S., was an
instructor in the College of Education
in 1941 before entering the Army where
he saw extensive action in occupied
countries.

The new College will utilize the staffs
of the Colleges of Arts and Sciences,
Business and Public Administration,
and Education to "take college into the
counties," offering instruction in Eng-
lish, history, psychology, government
and politics, sociology, speech, geog-
raphy, physics, math, and industrial
education.

A special program is being set up
for benefit of teachers in elementary
and high schools who heretofore have
had to wait until summer sessions to
do advanced work. Under the new
college they will be able to pick up
credits after their regular teaching
hours throughout the year.

The college also will take over the
direction of the extensive evening pro-
gram set up in Baltimore by Profes-
sor Glenn D. Brown, head of the De-
partment of Industrial Education.

Dr. Kabat points out the purposes
of the new College as follows : "the
chief purpose of the school is to render
the greatest educational service pos-
sible to all the people of Maryland."

TRUTH

The greatest friend of truth is time;
her greatest enemy is prejudice; and
her constant companion is humility.

THE Department of Physical Edu-
cation provides a varied program
of class work for all freshman and
sophomore women, sponsors the intra-
mural sports competition for all women
students, and offers four curricula for
major work.

All freshmen are taught fundamen-
tals of individual and team sports,
rhythms, and basic skills of body move-
ment. They are given training in good

through vigorous activities. Sopho-
mores may choose as their physical
activity hockey, speedball, volleyball,
basketball, golf, tennis, badminton,
archery, softball, fencing, modern
dance, or recreational dance.

Any student who is in need of addi-
tional help and training in posture, is
urged to enroll in special body mechan-
ics classes.

The intramural program is managed
by the Women's Recreation Associa-
tion with the advice of the Department
of Physical Education. Seasonal com-
petition is provided in hockey, tennis,
volleyball, bowling, badminton, riflery,
basketball,and softball. For the highly
skilled players intramural competition
is arranged through Sports Days with
nearby colleges.

Students enrolled in the major curri-
cula may select as a specialty the
teaching of physical education, the

teaching of health, recreational leader-
ship, or pre-physical therapy. Major
students are given careful guidance in
their course of study by a series of
group discussions and individual con-
ferences with their faculty advisors.
Many graduates take positions as
teachers of health and physical educa-
tion in schools and colleges or recrea-
tion directors in cities and in industries;
some continue study at the graduate
level; some enter hospital work in phy-
sical therapy. The great majority
simply become good housewives!

ALLEGANY COUNTY

Random Comments on "Economic
Survey of Allegany County," published
by the College of Business and Public
Administration, Professor John H.
Cover, Author, viz: —

"Thank you very much for sending
me a copy of your excellent study, 'An
Economic Survey of Allegany County.'
This is a real contribution, not simply
for those interested in Maryland's par-
ticular economic problems, but even
more so for those interested in the
techniques of regional economic study.
This can well serve as a model for
studies of other regions." — Samuel P.
Hayes, Jr., Associate Director, Market-
ing and Research Service, Dun & Brad-
street, Inc., 290 Broadway, New York
8.

"Many thanks for the copy of your
'An Economic Survey of Allegany

[22;

County, Maryland'. I certainly wish I
had one-tenth this information in the
same form for the other 3,073 counties
in the United States. This certainly
appears to me to be a very complete
job." — Vergil D. Reed, Associate Di-
rector of Research, J. Walter Thomp-
son Company, 420 Lexington Ave.,
New York.

"... The study certainly is a model
treatment of regional economic prob-
lems. I hope very much that you will
be able to continue your work in other
parts of the state, and I feel sure that
the results will be equally valuable
contributions to econometrics. I hope
that other universities will follow your
lead and turn their facilities and grad-
uate students from unrealistic spec-
ulations to the application of theory in
close connection with the facts and
problems of their immediate environ-
ment." — J. Herbert Furth, Economist,
Board of Governors of the Federal Re-
serve System, Washington, D. C.

"By preparing such an elaborate
economic study for the county, I take
it that you are setting a precedent. I
doubt that other counties of similar
population have undei'taken correspond-
ing studies. You certainly have pro-
duced a fine report. Congratulations!"

IN PLANT PATHOLOGY

John Moore of Upper Marlboro (pictured
above) has been appointed as instructor in
plant pathology at the University of Maryland
and has taken up his new duties in Extension
Work.

Moore grew up on a farm in Prince George's
County, graduated from the Upper Marlboro
High School and spent three years in the Navy
before graduating from the University of Mary-
land last June. He spent two summer vaca-
tions working with the Soil Conservation Ser-
vice.

It is expected that he will spend considerable
time on the Eastern Shore of Maryland where
he will be available for emergency calls from
county agents and growers. He will have gen-
eral charge of the department's field trials and
demonstrations with such crops as sweet pota-
toes, tomatoes, and strawberries.

Moore will aid in finding and reporting out-
breaks of plant diseases. This is part of the
reporting system conducted by the department
in cooperation with the U. S. D. A. He will
also do much of the strawberry and other nur-
sery inspection work.

"... Please accept my most sincere
congratulations upon a fundamental
treatise, and one which I feel confident
will be used to advantage for a long
time to come by business, political and
other groups in Allegany County for
the improvement of their economic en-
vironment." — Wilford White, Chief,
Management Division, Office of Small
Business, Department of Commerce,
Washington, D. C.

"I have looked at some of the Parts
carefully and am very much impressed
by the clarity and scope of the ap-
proach. I hope to be able to give more
detailed attention to the report soon." — ■
Rudolph Modley, Aircraft Industries
Association, 610 Shoreham Building,
Washington, D. C.

"Thank you very much for your
kindness in sending me a copy of 'An
Economic Survey of Allegany County,
Maryland.' I anticipate that there will
be many ways in which we will make
good use of the material. I am sure
that when other counties in Maryland
see this report they will all request the
College to have similar studies made of
their counties." — Margaret C. Klem,
Chief, Medical Economic Section, Di-
vision of Health and Disability Service,
Social Security Administration, Wash-
ington, D. C.

"Thank you very much for the copy
of 'An Economic Survey of Allegany
County, Maryland'. We have already
alerted individuals who may be inte-
rested in this study and it is conceivable

[23]

that you will receive request for it
from our members." — -Kenneth H. Ba-
ker, Director of Research, National As-
sociation of Broadcasters, 1771 N
Street N.W., Washington, D. C.

"Recently I was in the Hagerstown
Public Library and saw a copy of the
booklet entitled 'An Economic Survey
of Allegany County — Studies in Busi-
ness and Economies'. The two voca-
tional advisers of the Veterans Ad-
ministration for the western counties of
Maryland would like to use this infor-
mation. We shall therefore sincerely
appreciate it if you will send us . . . two
copies of this booklet." — G. A. Sieverts,
Vocational Adviser, Veterans Admin-
istration, 74 West Washington Street,
Hagerstown, Md.

WOMEN'S AUXILIARY

From service in General Eisenhower's
headquarters in Germany, from hospi-
tals in Iceland, from offices in Honolulu,
Waves, Wacs, Spars, and Women Ma-
rines have come to the class rooms
of Maryland, where many have dis-
tinguished themselves scholastically.
They have founded their own service-
women's Club as an auxiliary to the
Association of Veterans.

The Servicewomen's Club offers a
clearing house for all matters affect-
ing servicewomen on campus, a social
center, and an opportunity to work
eifectively with the Veterans' club.
On Hallowe'en in '46, it was informally
organized. The first Director was
Florence Kretchmer, ex-'Marine tele-
type and radio operator, who joined
the Marine Corps in spite of having
lived all her life previously on Army
posts. She is now a Sociology major,
and is active in various clubs, having
held offices in both veterans' organiza-
tions. She has a 3.3 average.

The present officers of the Club are
June Miller, director, and ex-Wave from
Hagerstown, with a 4.0 average, who

served for some of her time as Radio-
man first class in Hawaii; secretary,
Norma Watts, ex-Wave Pharmacist's
Mate whose work was chiefly physio-
therapy; publicity, Alice Werner, for-
mer Spar, now an English major in the
College of Education; co-social chair-
men, Helen Hall, ex-Marine corporal,
and Ida Lillie, former Marine Cook, now
continuing her studies in Home Eco-
nomics.

Fifteen ex-servicewomen have records
of 3.0 or higher. One has a 4.0.

The service duties of these girls were
widely varied. Amy Heckinger, of Chi-

cago, a former staff sergeant in the
Wac, was correspondence action writer
in General Eisenhower's headquarters
at Frankfurt, Germany. She is now in
the College of Home Economics, ma-
joring in advertising and merchandis-
ing. Bess Sheppard, on special service
duty in the morale branch, was in
charge of off-duty Army activities:
movies, clubs, libraries, athletics, and
U.S.O. and recreational facilities. Jill
Johnson spent part of her time, as
Army Nurse, in Iceland. Among those
stationed at Pearl Harbor were Hester
Brown, ex-Wave, Florence Bernacki, ex-
Spar, and June Miller.

Isabelle Tomberlin, graduate student
and part time instructor in Home Eco-
nomics, was an Army mess officer,
stationed at Des Moines, Iowa, Fort
Oglethorpe, Georgia, and the Jersey
City Quartermaster Depot.

THE BEST

Think not so much of what thou hast
not, as of what thou hast; but of the
things which thou hast, select the best,
and reflect how eagerry they would have
been sought if thou hadst them not. —

GONE WEST

ONE dream is not enough! Quite
a few former students have made
suggestions concerning recognition for
the men of the University of Maryland
who lost their lives in world War II.
Some thought has also been given to
recognition of the men from the Uni-
versity who saw service in the war.

All of us are anxious to take steps to
provide a fitting memorial and proper
recognition for those who represented
all of us so well. No move can be made
until a complete list of our Gold Star
graduates and former students is ob-
tained. We have printed below the
names of those individuals now on our
record. For the present, your thought
in a memorial will be to help us deter-
mine additional names which should be
added to the list. If you know of oth-
ers who should be included please let us
know immediately. Just send a brief
note to the Alumni Office giving the
name, address, and any other pertinent
information which you feel to be of
value. Don't put it off. Let us hear
from you today if you have information
about a Gold Star alumnus whose name

PAUL N, WINN, JR.

Paul N. Winn, Jr., of Skipwith, Virginia,
Assistant Research Agricultural Engineer on
labor-saving work methods, College of Agricul-
ture, University of Maryland. He is concentrat-
ing, at first, on the problems involved in the
production and curing of tobacco, and will be
helping farmers find easier ways of doing the
work. This will include the development of
machinery and equipment to reduce the hand
labor required.

An important part of his task will be to lo-
cate "tricks of the trade" developed by some
farmers and make them available to all to-
bacco growers. He will also be studying the
time required on various farms to plant, culti-
vate, harvest and house tobacco. After these
figures have been summarized, his problem will
be to show how some farmers do the same jobs
in less time than others.

The project is being conducted in cooperation
with the Emergency Farm Labor Program and
the Agricultural Engineering Department of the
U. S. D. A.

The University of Maryland has announced
the establishment of a Bureau of Public Ad-
ministration for the study of problems of state
and local government. The Director of the new
Bureau is Dr. Joseph M. Ray (pictured above),
who is also Head of the Department of Govern-
ment and Politics. Both the Bureau and the
Department are in the College of Business and
Public Administration.

Tha Bureau of Public Administration is con-
cerned primarily with study and research in the
problems of government within the State of
Maryland. One of its first projects will be an
an-ivis of Maryland's present constitution,
pointing toward the popular election in 1950 on
the issue of a new constitution for Maryland.
Other general studies are planned. Surveys
were made by Dr. Ray last year of the govern-
ments of Hagerstown and Cumberland. Similar
studies in other localities will be undertaken by
the new Bureau upon request. It is planned
also to make the Bureau a clearing house of
news and information regarding governmental
problems and developments throughout the
state. Smilar bureaus exist at many other state
universities.

MARYLAND ATHLETICS

The Coming Sports Scene At Maryland

*•}■ ^^^^BBW

WITH the acquisition of a new
football coaching staff, a new
basketball coach and an invitation for
the boxing team to compete in the
Sugar Bowl this year, Maryland Uni-
versity has an interesting outlook on
the sporting world for the coming se-
mesters.

In bringing "Big" Jim Tatum to the
College Park institution, the powers
that be have made a master step in
building the University into football
prominence, for Tatum, one of the
youngest big-time
football coaches in
the country, has
already achieved
success on the first
rung of the build-
ing campaign. To
do this, he insti-
tuted one of the
largest and tough-
est gridiron sched-
ules ever to be
faced by a Terra-
pin eleven. He
brought one of the
largest and most
experienced coach-
ing staffs ever to
be gathered together and he coordinated
his Intercollegiate Athletic Program so
as to bring a man with 15 years experi-
ence to Maryland as Director of Ath-
letics.

With the greatest influx of students
ever to enroll at the University of
Maryland, something had to be done
and Tatum was it. Both as a coach and
business man, he enjoys an enviable
reputation and, because he foresaw the
great possibilities at Maryland, he was
lelieved of his five year contract at the
University of Oklahoma.

Maryland, already enjoying cham-
pionship teams in Boxing and Rifle, is
out to achieve more honors in other
sports. With no drab future looking at
us in Boxing, since the team, coached
by Heinie Miller, has been invited to
compete against Michigan State for
signal honors in the Sugar Bowl, De-
cember 29; Maryland has achieved one
of the top athletic honors in the na-
tion. This is another part of the Uni-
versity's quest for building toward the
attainment of athletic prominence.

Mr. Carroll

Things Are Sort
Of Perkiir up
At College Park

By George L. Carroll

As the school year opened, the pos-
sibility of a new football stadium was
on everyone's tongue. True, plans are
already made for a stadium, seating
30,000 at the outset and graduating it-
self to hold more when the demand
exists; however, due to building con-
ditions, these plans are being set for
the future and someday soon will be-
come a reality.

When the word, "football" was
sounded off on Labor Day, September
1, exactly 100 aspirants answered.
These boys, predominately freshmen,
since the Southern Conference still per-
mits them in Varsity competition, were
eager and looking forward to working
with their new coach. They gave up
their vacations to return before the
school's official opening and work hard
all day at football. Sessions were held,
two a day, the first at 6:30 A. M. till
8:30 A. M. and the second, 3:30 P. M.
till 5:30 P. M. In between time was de-
voted to blackboard talks and movies
of former games.

A training table was set up in the
dining hall, where carefully planned
meals were served three times daily
to the hungry gridsters. A complete
and modern training room was install-
ed, where the first full-time trainer in
athletic history at Maryland was hired
to treat any injuries that may have been
incurred. Whirl-baths, lamps and the
most modern of equipment were placed
at the squad's disposal. All in all,
training time at College Park was one
of hard work and justly so.

Scrimmage sessions were held several
times a week, with full dress sessions
being held each Saturday. On several
occasions other college teams were
brought here for secret sessions. The
backfield began to look very strong at
the outset but our line was weak. We
had many experienced holdovers as
backs but frosh aspirants were the main
contenders for the line.

Careful planning was the keynote of
football prior to and during the pre-
season training. As the season opens
with such teams as South Carolina,
Delaware, Richmond, Duke, V. P. I.,
West Virginia, Duquesne, North Caro-
lina U., Vanderbilt, and North Caro-
lina State to be met, mighty careful
planning was on the agenda. For this
season may not be a good one for Mary-
land, nevertheless it shouldn't be a bad

one but what it will be

and what is most important, is the first
stepping stone in the "Terrapins" quest
to build upward and onward in the
Collegiate sports field.

RECALLS OLD DAYS

Mr. E. J. Clarke, of the Worcester
Democrat, Pocomoke City, writes the
following interesting letter to Dr. H.
C. Byid, President of the University of
Maryland, viz: — ■

"I am in receipt of a copy of the
September 1947 'MARYLAND,' a Uni-
versity publication, the contents of
which are concerned with the athletic
activities of your institution.

"Inasmuch as I was always "nutty"
on the subject of sports, especially
those developed at educational insti-
tutions, I noted the issue of 'MARY-
LAND' with a great deal of interest.

"When a man get as old as I am, he
is apt to deal largely in reminisces and
when I read the football items in the
publication referred to, I vividly re-
called a game which took place back
in the late 70's between what was then
Maryland Agricultural College, and St.
John's College, on the campus of
M.A.C. I played with St. John's.

"To reveal the football calibre of the
two teams, all that is necessary to
state is that, at 135 pounds, I played

34"

BEEF ON THE HOOF

When Coach Jim Tatum, Maryland's new gridiron mentor, called a milkman's matinee football practice at 6:30 a. m. on Labor Day he trotted
out exactly 100 gridiron prospects. While pruning started almost immediately the picture for the first squad as well as the "B" aggregation looks like
large fellows in large numbers at College Park.

quarterback and ran the ball many
times. Our team would not have aver-
aged more than 145 pounds. But we
won two games — and that's not saying
much for our opponents.

"In those days, transportation facili-
ties did not provide for any daily
round trip between M.A.C. and St.
John's; consequently, we were enter-
tained over night. So, after supper, our
boys assembled in the rooms of the old
dormitory where we played that game
over and over — discussing it from every
viewpoint until almost the break of day.

"There was one big fellow on the
M.A.C. team — at least, he looked big
to us — who said to me:

" 'You are one stringy guy. I grabbed
you today about a dozen times, slam-
med you down and tried to break your
damned neck, but you always fell on
your feet.'

" 'Well,' I said, 'I'm glad you didn't
break my damned neck, and probably
what you say accounts for a slight
stiffness which has already developed
in my ankles.'

"When I was at St. John's, we had
morning and evening prayer in the
Chapel, seven days in the week. Now,
I believe, they have such a service only
cnce a week — Thursday morning, and
it is called a 'convocation.'

"Years after the football game just
mentioned, I happened to be in Anna-
polis on a Thursday morning. I
thought I would go up on the hill and
attend the Convocation.

"I entered the door of the Chapel as

quietly as I could, and took the first
seat available. But Enoch Gary was
persistent then and when he saw me,
he left the platform, made his way
down to me, and insisted I sit on the
stage. It was no time and place for an
argument, so I went with him.

"On the stage was a gentleman who,
I afterward saw, was the speaker for
the day. I was introduced and took my
seat in a chair alongside of his.

"As I did so, he leaned over and said:

" 'What did Gary say your name
was?'

"I told him.

"'Ah!' he said, 'I know you, I once
played a game of football against you,
and I tried to break your damned neck.'

"What a coincidence! That man had
finished M.A.C, had finished a law
course at the Maryland University in
Baltimore, had gone into law practice,
and had practiced long enough and
successfully enough to be selected Judge
of the Circuit Court, which included
Annapolis. He was no other than Judge
Moss, who has been dead some years,
and whom, I am sure, you knew well.

"After the convocation service was
over, the Judge and I sat there and
talked, and what we said was a plenty.

"All this occurred to me as I went
through the pages of 'MARYLAND.'

"I would like to send my very best
respects to my old friend, Charley
Richardson, and say to him I hope he
is enjoying life and has many years
ahead for him."

BACK HOME

Jim Meade, assistant football coach
at the University of Maryland and a
product of the home state was on hand
at 6:30 Labor Day morning for the
opening practice session of the Terra-
pin season.

Meade, who hails from Havre de
Grace, recently joined Coach Jim Ta-
tum's staff. A former All-Southern
Conference football great and All-
American lacrosse player while attend-
ing the College Park School, Meade has
had a brilliant career in athletics.

Upon his graduation from Maryland
he coached lacrosse at Lehigh Univer-
sity and then joined the Washington
Redskins as a backfield running mate
to Sammy Baugh and Dick Todd.

He is a veteran of five years in the
Army paratroops.

THE BAND

Maryland has been conducting a re-
cruiting drive for 100 members for the
Band. Posters proclaiming the ad-
vantages and privileges of playing in
the Band have appeared on various
bulletin boards.

Plans are under way to present
half-time shows and entertainment at
all football games. Joe Bove, chair-
man of the stunt committee, and Mary
Zimmerli, head cheer leader, have been
working to coordinate stunts and
cheers for the pep rallies and games.

Next year's NCAA boxing tournament ("The
Nationals") will be an Olympic team tryout.
the winners eligible for Olympic competition
against A.A.U. and Golden Gloves talent for
places on the Olympic team. The weights used
in the NCAA tournament will be the Olympic
weights, i.e., 112, 118, 126, 135, 147,
160, 175, Heavyweight.

However, Dr. Carl P. Schott, Penn State Col-
lege member of the NCAA rules committee,
points out that these weights are not mandatory
for dual meet or conference competition where
the weights should be mutually agreed upon by
competing institutions.

Maryland has officially recommended the addi-
tion of a 150 pound class to collegiate weights
because War Department as well as Public
Health service statistics prove that 150 pounds
is the peak weight for American youth. That is
wh-re the most talent is. That would make a
nine man team.

Colonel Bob Jones, coach of Clemson College's
scrappy squad, comes through with an excellent
suggestion. Writes Colonel Bob, "I suggest col-
lege boxing forget about the 112 or flyweight
class. They don't come that small in American
universities."

"A good weight scale," continues Colonel

Jones, "readily adaptable to the Olympic scale,

would be 118, 125, 130, 135, 145, 150, 155, 165,
175 and Unlimited."

That would be a ten man team with the 118
and 150 classes added to the usual collegiate
weight scale. The recommendation makes sense.

A CREED

I believe in honesty, sincerity and the
square deal ; in making up one's
mind what to do — and doing it.

I believe in fearing God and taking
one's own part.

I believe in hitting the line hard when
you are right.

I believe in speaking softly and carry-
ing a big stick.

I believe in hard work and honest sport.

I believe in a sane mind in a sound
body.

I believe we have room for but one
soul loyalty, and that is loyalty to
the American people.

LACROSSE CHAMPIONS 1940

Back Row — Thumm, Sexton, Cole, Graham, Burlin, Randall, Lawrence, Vial.

Middle Row — Slesinger, Grier, Kelly, Garrett, Bachrach, Carter, Widener.

Front Row — McGregor, Allen, Hewitt, Bond, Nevares, Mulitz, J. Mueller, L. Mueller.

THESE Terrapins were National
Collegiate Champions! We recall
them here hoping they will serve as an
inspiration for current and future
Maryland athletes.

With all of 1939's National Inter-
collegiate championship lacrosse team
back except Jim Meade and Rip Hewitt,
lost through graduation, the prospects
for a trophy repeat in 1940 were fairly
encouraging as the season opened.

To fill the gaps in the starting line-up
left by the loss of these two stars,
Coach Faber found ample material
from the 1939 squad, besides several
players from the freshman team. Out-
standing yearlings sporting the Varsity
colors were Al Slesinger, on attack,
Mark Kelly in the goal, and Bill Mc-
Gregor in the midfield. The greatest
strength in 1940 lay in the trio of close
defense men. Leo Mueller and Micky
Mulitz held down regular berths in 1939
and Bill Graham was a regular the
year before. The first of the season saw
these three men working together beau-
tifully to do their share in returning
the title to the Terps.

Except for Rip Hewitt, the efficient
attack of 1939 returned intact. Sev-
eral advantageous changes altered the

game against college competition. At
appearance of the spearhead of the
team. Lively Billy Bond played in-
home. A familiar face on the close at-
tack was Oscar Nevares. Playing the
same brilliant game that won him recog-
nition in 1939, Oscar gave some fine
performances before he turned in his
uniform for the last time at the end of
the season. The only sophomore play-
ing regularly, Al Slesinger, performed
in great style.

The others in the midfield were vet-
erans Jack Mueller and Billy Cole.
Muller's experience gained in the pre-
vious season stood him in good stead
and he did well in his new position.
Several times he ran the length of the
field to score unassisted. The center
position, possibly the toughest spot on
the team, fell to Billy Cole, an aggres-
sive lad. Meeting the Mount Washing-
ton stickmen in the 1940 opener the
Terps took an 8-3 setback.

Dartmouth was the lead-off team in a
series of three games played in six days
as they met the Faberman at College
Park. The Indian raid was ineffectual
the Terps turning back the Dartmouth
ten 12 to 4. Al Slesinger let his team

no time was the Indian team in the
same league with the Marylanders.

Three days later Maryland overran
the Harvard team 11 — 1. Harvard
scored first and the fans thought per-
haps a lacrosse miracle was in the mak-
ing before their very eyes, but the
Terps soon swamped the Maroon with

IT was at the annual picnic of the
Gas Company's employees. Mr.
Pidie, the big exec, was making a
speech. "We have to do with providing
heat and light to many people. We
should be honored for that. In fact,"
continued Mr. Pidie, "the people might
well call us the light brigade and say
'Honor, the light brigade!"' Just then
a raucous stentor from the rear rank
bellowed, "Think of the charge they
made!"

Eng: "My stock in trade is brain."
Home Eco: "You have a funny look-
ing sample case."

Pa: "I think I'll go downstairs
send Nancy's young man home."

Ma: "Now, Elmer remember
way we used to
court."

Pa: "Yeah, out he
goes."

The girl and her
uncle (M. A. C. '97)
stood watching the
young people dance
about them.

"I'll bet you never
saw any dancing like
that back in the nine-
ties, huh, uncle!"

"Once, in Baltimore,
— but the place was
raided."

Mark Antony made two famous
speeches. One was at Caesar's grave.
"I came here to bury Caesar, not to
praise him." The other was at Cleo-
patra's tent, "I didn't come here to talk,
either."

"Try these," said the neighbor, haul-
ing out a third set.

They were O.K. The man made his
speech and, turning to his benefactor,
asked, "Are you a dentist?"

"No," replied the fellow, "I'm an un-
dertaker."

The after dinner speaker at the
alumni dinner bit onto what he thought
was a stuffed olive. But the olive had
a hard pit and the speaker, just about
to be called upon to speak, broke his
upper denture right up the middle.
Turning to the guest seated next to
him he said, "I can't speak. I just
broke my upper plate."

"Here, try these," said his neighbor,
slipping a plate out of his pocket.

"These are too small," said the
speaker.

"Try these," said the neighbor, hand-
ing him another set.

"Too big," was the verdict.

Teacher: "Willie, you were told to
write a full page on the subject of milk.
Your paper covers less than half a

Willie: "I wrote about condensed
milk."

There are only two kinds of folks,

"Paw's the best shot

"My husband."

A man was reading
birth and death statis-
tics. Suddenly he
turned to the man on
his right and said, "Do
you know that every
time I breathe a man
dies?"

"Very interesting,"
replied the other.
"Why don't you chew
gum

Slim: "For months I
couldn't discover where
my wife was spending
her evenings."

Slam: "How'd ya find
her?"

Slim: "One evening 1
went home and there
she was."

Mrs. A.: "Oh, I'm so
happy. My husband is
going in for anthro-
pology. I've always
known that he was
capable of doing some-
thing worthwhile."

Mrs. B.: "How did
you find out?"

Mrs. A.: "I found
some little green tick-
ets in his pocket and
upon them was writ-
ten 'Mudhorse, 15 to 1.'
When I asked him
about them, he told me
they were relics of a
lost race."

land's most successful alumni are not privileged to give dictation in that manner."

"Do you know a fel-
low down your way
with one leg named
Jones?"

"Well, now, I'm not
sure. What's the name
of the other leg?"

1st Vet.: "Did you
volunteer, or were you
drafted?"

2nd Vet.: "Well, it
was like this. My num-
ber came up, I had no
dependents, and I
passed my physical . . .
so I volunteered."

Aviation experts

the bumblebee has not

"Well, I came down
with flying colors, any-
how," remarked the
painter, as he fell with
a pail of paint in each
hand.

Applicant: "Sir.have
you an opening for
me?"

Office Manager :
"Yes, but don't slam it
as you go out."

Prof: "I seem to have forgotten my
umbrella this morning, dear."

Wife: "When did you realize you
had forgotten it?"

Prof: "Well, I first noticed it when I
raised my hand to close it after it
had stopped raining."

Stranger: "Good morning, doctor. I
just dropped in to tell you how much
I've benefited from your treatment."

M.D.: "But you're not one of my
patients."

Stranger: "I know, but my uncle
was, and I'm his heir."

Mother:

'What are you reading,

College Park Junior:

Mother: "Oh, that's all right, dear.
I was afraid you'd gotten hold of the
'Old Line'."

"I saw you last night with your girl
friend."

"Yes, that was Agnes. She's as per-
fect as a poem.

"Yes, she does have nice lines."

An up-state freshman watched a guy
in Dietz's at Hyattsville open a pack-
age of fancy-colored men's pajamas.
"Whut's them?" he asked.

"Pajamas."

"Pajamas," echoed the kid, "Whut're
they for?"

"Why you wear them nights," the
clerk pointed out. Do you want a
pair?"

"Nope," said the freshman; "I don't
go nowhere nights except to bed."

WHILE a student at the Uni-
versity I was connected with
publications", writes Turner G. Timber-
lake, '41, RFD 3, Weems Creek, Anna-
polis, "and I realize the great amount
of work involved in turning out a paper
such as 'MARYLAND'. I appreciate
your headaches and deadlines and I do
not see how you could turn out a better
paper. Here's hoping that 'MARY-
LAND' is getting the support it needs
to stay in the forefront of collegiate
publications".

" 'MARYLAND' is a very worth-
while publication", writes Charles K.
Rittenhouse, '35, 503 N. Chapel Gate

"In particular, I enjoyed the lead ar-
ticle by Dr. Byrd in the September
athletic issue of 'MARYLAND',"
writes Brigadier General William T.
Clement, U. S. Marine Corps, adding,
"It was meaty straight through and it
shows the caliber of man developed by
your athletic program. It is to the
point, good sound advice and I should
like for all young boys starting school
to thoroughly digest it, for unquestion-
ably it would influence their charac-
ters".

"That's a grand magazine you're
turning out at Maryland", writes Thos.
H. Devlin, 4718 York Rd, Baltimore 12.

hearing from and about Kappa Delta.
My husband is a graduate of the Uni-
versity of Illinois and we have a very
much animated three year old son. My
best wishes for the magazine's con-
tinued success".

"We enjoy very much reading
'MARYLAND'," writes Ralph W.

ford University, Palo Alto, Cal. where

to congratulate 'MARYLAND', its
editor and staff, for a very interesting
paper. We wish it all success and that
it will grow and find greater possibili-
ties, which I hope it will achieve."

the best of University papers and I
congratulate those who are responsible
for making it successful as well as
beautiful." writes Clifton E. Fuller.

so long ago and which I shall never for-
get".

" 'MARYLAND' is a very fine publi-
cation and I appreciate it," writes Rev.
Leighton E. Harrell, Jr., New Castle,
Va., adding, "It is entirely in keeping
with the forward steps the University
is taking. Please accept my thanks for
the swell job you are doing".

far away from the University to re-
ceive these monthly 'trips' back to the
campus via 'MARYLAND' magazine",
writes Mrs. R. E. Freese (Jean Rowley
A&S '46), 301 W. Warren St., Calu-

you very much and my best wishes for

esting and enlightening. It makes Case
Alumni jealous. Keep up the good
work", writes Russell H. Goff, A&S,

"Judging from the Orchids in recent
issues all of the adjectives have been
used and reused in applauding the new
alumni magazine," writes J. William
Miller, 5011 Mayflower Road, Norfolk,
Va. "However, I would like to add my
compliments to the many you have al-
ready received. My best wishes for
your continued success."

North St., Mayfield, Ky., "for it is
very informative and keeps me up to
date on the University".

Charles V. Cairnes, of the M. A. C.
class of 1894, writes the following com-
mentary:

"How the old school has grown since
my graduation 53 years ago! I think
there were never more than 70 or 80
students there during my time.

"I have been fortunate in living in
Washington the last 25 years where I
can keep in touch with the University
and sometimes fall in with old contem-
poraries, although we are getting some-
what scarce."
