To George Ernest Hamilton

h are not at all unaware that in the dedication of volumes of more

serious import there has, from time immemorial, prevailed a rule

of address demanding fulsome laudation, congratulation, and magni­

fication, but in this is.sue of Y E D O M E S D A Y B O O K E we wish to avoid

that formal tone and desire rather to address you in a more intimate, but none the less respectful, manner as better fits the relation which vou have

made us feel exists between us. Moreover, this volume, an incentive to happy memories of the school we are about to leave"witb mingled enthusiasm for the future and regret for the parting, does not comply with stern formality, but

abounds with that simple love for this school of the Blue and Gray, and with that affection for this country that John Carroll loved and labored for, that

you, by your acts, your teachings, and your traditional loyalty have made us feel is incumbent upon us as true sons of Georgetown and faithful brethren of the renowned Gaston.

Yes, this love for Alma Mater, this love for country, in fine, this loyalty, has become, because of your attachment to this school, not simply a devotion, but a duty. For loyalty, sir, has been a watchword in the history of your con­nection for fifty years with Georgetown University. It has been known per­sonally by every one of your students who has gone in perplexity or trouble to

you; it has been realized by every one who has cared to share his pleasure and success with you.

Relying on this trait, we therefore come as a class to dedicate to you this volume of our school history. It is in no sense a contribution to human knowledge; it is'a private and personal record of the memories we would preserve, for ourselves and our friends, of our life as the Class of 1920. It reproduces for us the features of the persons who have taught us, the faces

of our classmates, and the scenes in which we have lived throughout our university course. It is filled with directly applied humor; it offers its tribute

to those who have lived and worked with us; it is a catalogue of ourselves. M a y it please you, Mr. Hamilton, the book is yours—and with it our hearts in loyal acknowledgment to Alma Mater and to you.

T H E C L A S S O F 1920.

By its Editor-in-Chief.

REVEREND JOHN B. CREEDEN, SJ. President of the University

Hail! and Farewell!

H E mill will never grind again with the water that has passed, so, likewise, the happy days we have spent under the folds of the Blue and Gray are gone forever, but never to be forgotten. Were this volume ten times as large,

its pages would be inadequate to portray the enjoyable moments we have spent as students of Georgetown University. So it is our purpose to present in this Y E D O M E S D A Y B O O K E some of the happy incidents that have occurred, some of the friendships that have been made, some of the events that have taken place throughout our university course. W e trust that all who peruse these pages will accept what is written in the spirit in which it is offered. To satisfy all would be a task quite impossible, for the obstacles with which the Staff has been confronted must be taken into consideration. And now that we are about to part for the last time, scattering into every quarter of the globe, it is our most earnest desire that, in after years, when in scanning the leaves of this volume, we will have brought back fond recollections of the years spent together.

Vive le Marechal de la France

HILE the date of the visit of France's and the world's greatest hero

of the hour, Marshal Foch, is indeterminable at present owing to

the chaotic condition of affairs in Europe, preparations are being

made to fittingly receive America's disting/uished guest-to-be at

Georgetown sometime during September of this year. During his

stay in Washington be will be entertained at the College, and the University

will confer upon him the degree of Doctor of Laws, and at the same time present him with a magnificent sword, an illustration of which is shown on the

opposite page. It is particularly fitting that such an institution as Georgetown should

pay tribute to the man who has guided the destinies of the world over such a

critical period. Marshal Foch was himself educated in Jesuit schools in France, and has a brother a member of the order. His own profound religious con­victions have carried tremendous weight with the thinking world as a result

of the rapid decay of that Materialism exemplified in fallacious principles of German philosophy carried to the logical conclusion in the rise and menace of Junkerism. Hence it is that Georgetown considers it an honor and a privilege

to bestow honors on one who has in him so rarely combined the finest principles of the soldier, the scholar, and the Christian.

E X P L A N A T O R Y :

Hilt of sword shows the Eagle Triumphant.

Upon handle Is engraved, on one side the arms of Columbia with the medallion of St. Ignatius Loyola; on the reverse side, the arms of France surmounting the medallion of St. Clement.

On guard of handle is the symbolical wreath of oak and laurel with cross ribbons enumerating the virtues through which the Marshal offered himself in service for his country.

The College HE Ave et Vale of college life is sung to many tunes and by many

voices each year as June brings its brides, its roses and its com­mencements. And to many it has become a painful formality with its trite references to "stately halls of learning," "the threshold of the world," "the battle of life," etc., ad infinitum. W h a t does all

this mean to the casual, and, in a sense, disinterested reader who turns page after page of this book, seeking ever a bit of information about or reference to the particular H i m in w h o m he or she is interested? Does it mean that the college m a n merely parades a hypocritical, and, at best, a dull sentimentality over the commencement platform, to the dirge of intellectual orations and graduation obsequies?

Ah, no! If this is what college and commencement have come to mean to a few, it is not what is in the hearts of the sober-faced, academically gowned lads who are in truth saying good-bye to that world-old Fostering Mother, w h o has given them so much of that which is so intangible, so indefinable as to preclude any possibility of repayment other than to strive earnestly and courage­ously in the carrying out of all she has tried to teach them. If the sentiments of men toward their college and college days are of the bizarre and operatic type, it is because such sentiments have been commercialized so effectively in the literature and drama of the day. To say that they are genuine and true is to say that the vaunted influence of scholastic purstiits' and associations has succeeded not in moulding men's thoughts to finer lines, but to produce in those minds only that which is cheap and vulgar.

(Continued from page lo)

The story of every man's college life is, more or less, the story of Arthur Pendennis again lived over. What better, even if bitter, lesson could Alma Mater give us than a periodically recurring disappointment in ourselves, with the attendant firing of ambition to do, to do better, to learn and to learn more! H o w many times have we felt opportunity slip from our negligent grasp. But under whose fostering care was it that we were to learn what we had lost, and by the very losing gain ? W e have felt something within us expand with growing knowledge; we have seen the spirit of Humility abroad \\'ith bowed head at the thought of all there is to learn—and of what an infinitesimal part we, even^ at best, could ever hope to know! W e have seen the great scheme of Education unfolded at last before our wondering eyes, from the painted blocks of alphabet days to the profound and elusive reasoning on the ultimate causes. W e have winced at Juvenal, laughed with Horace, thrilled at Cicero, shouted with Demosthenes and wept with Homer. W e have looked into each hall of the wonderful old castle of Learning, true, only for a peek, but yet long enough to carry away with us a lasting impression of those trophies bespeaking all in the world that has been noble and great—and why it was noble and great; and wh\-, too, that the lingering, delightful atmosphere of charm and worth hangs over it all.

These are the intangible, the indefinable things that the commencement onlooker does not see, does not understand. This is the W h y and the Wherefore of scented memories that keep us ever young in the basking therein. Comrade­ship, Athletics, the Social Side? one is asked. .\h! But there is a Comradeship, there is Athletics, there is a Social Side out in the world, far removed from college. What is it that throws the hallow about college friendships but the very lact of pursuing a noble and elevated occupation together? The minds of men must grow, and grow apace, to be mutually appreciated. As for your team upon the field, what links it up so strongly to you but that it represents your college— the place in which you are learning things! And the Social Side—does it not run nearly parallel with Comradeship? After all, the ancient idea of a Univer­sity exists today, just as true, just as exalted, as it did in the days when ivy-covered walls, deep-toned bells and battered Latin texts were always inter-associated. To keep pace with the times, many new channels of activity have been opened up. Proms and 'Varsity teams were not of the college life of N e w m a n or Thackeray. Yet today they have their place as an integral part of student life. For in the end our real memories of school days will be impres­sionistic—and the rose tints of the lighter side will keep us ever affectionately reminded that it was all in our best days, in our youth—in the very morning of life.

And thus we come to say good-bye. A panorama of the four greatest years of a man's life stretches behind us; of intellectual or athletic triumphs; of loved and laughed-at classmates; of scholarly professors, kind and brotherly; of music, perfume and laughing eyes; of the play and the dance, of books and of Chapel—and at last of flowing black gowns, academic caps—and Graduation. This is College. Let us pause a moment at the gate and turn to drink in deeplv with one last breath the magic atmosphere of it before we pass through into the world. All the success that may come to use in material matters, all the happi­ness that may be ours in the moral order, all the good things that life may hold in store for us must, in the end, give place to the halcyon days at college. And although we may pass through many phases of life, yet these memories will cling ever green as the ivy on Alma Mater's walls. All hail to thee, Georgetown! M a y we be but worthy sons!

MAURICE CHARLES BABBITT, FL-M-.ST,\FF, ARIZ,

"Grandpaw" Senior Week-End Committee,

•'A'cv, let us share th\ thoughts as thou dost ours." —Richard II.

Maurice is one of those itinerant collegians, thirsting for knowledge, who stopped in front of Georgetown's massive granite walls and said to himself: "This lootcs like a real college! Guess I'll call this m y .'Vlma Mater!" And the compliment was mutual. For quietly and unobtrusively Maurice took his rightful place in the hearts and estimation of his classmates, much as any grandad should—hence the affectionate nickname. Grandpaw Babbitt is not origin­ally from the Pueblo country, but spent his early collegiate years at Loyola College, in Los Angeles. Maurice is not giving out any plans for his future, but, whatever it may be, we know it will be successful.

PAUL JAMES BABBITT, FLAGST.\FF, ARIZ,

"Sonny" 'Where the stream runneth smoothest, the ixfitcr is

deepest." Like his brother Maurice, Paul is also a newcomer to

(Georgetown and to the class, hailing from the land of Pueblos and Spanish missions. Besides carrying Senior work at the college, he is one of the ambitious ones who attend the School of Foreign Service evenings, and his scholastic record in both schools is an enviable one. Paul, with his gravely serious mien and generous-hearted ways, has taken his place solidly and surely in the estimation of both school and class. While not of the forward type, yet he has always been a staunch supporter of and enthusiast in all class affairs; and if it's anything the Seniors are doing or giving—Paul is there.

ALFRED FELIX BENZIGER, SUMMIT, N. J,

"Al" "Ben" Sec. St. John Berchmans' Society. Cap and down '''•nmittcc. Censor, Philodemic, Senior Week-End Cominittic Philodeniic. Chairman Junior Banquet Committee, Sodality, Sec, A, A,,

White, "Gentle mi)id by gentle deed is known."—Spenser.

From the very beginning of Freshman year Ben real­ized that colleges were founded for the pursuit of higher learning. And he has spent most of his time in that pursuit, even going so far as to change to Columbia in Sophomore, with the hope of finding deeper seas in which to sail. But by Junior year the call of George­town proved too strong, and so he came wandering back to the Hilltop. But think not that he is a confirmed grind. "Sans mens, sans corpus?-' is his doctrine. He is a devotee —almost rabid—of golf, and flashes over the tennis courts in R, Norris Williams style. A quiet dinner at Bertholdi's has its charm for him, but he has never been induced to brave the dangers of a Georgetown dance. Ben starts out well equipped with the necessary energy, determination and winning manner which will bring success.

ROBERT DOUGHERTY BLUNTZER, I-iOHSTOWN, TE-X,

"Bobby" "Tex" I'liiloilemic, Gaston, Sodality, Senior Week-End Committee,

" A noble boy, A brave, free-hearted, careless one,

With his unchecked, unbidden joy, His dread of books and love of fun."

—N. P. Willis. You '11 go a long way before finding another Bobby.

With his Texas drawl, his Spanish lingo, his love for the ladies and his carefree, Huck Finn nature, he presents a composite hard to resist. Coupled with all this is the truest of true blue loyalty, generosity, sympathy—and fun. The world may appear to be a dark place, but when Bobby steps in, wrinkles up his face and informs you that he's had a "smawll evenin'," you know you're in for some entertainment. He is casting longing eyes toward South .America, whether because of a fortune to be made or be­cause of the dark-eyed Senoritas, but, whatever it may be, we wish him a primrose path. And may he keep his exub-berant \outh ever with him!

AUGUSTIN d'ENTREMONT BOURNEUF, BROOKHNE, MASS,

"Gus" \\liite, I'hilodemic, Sodality, Senior Week-End Committee,

Class Sec. (3, 4), Holy Cross Dehate (2), "To have friends is to he one."-—Anon.

Four years ago Georgetown and the Class of 1920 made the acquaintance of a shy, timid, bashful lad wdth the enormously impressive name of August d'Entremont Bourneuf. That he was pre-ordained for a brilliant career at college is even attested by his initials—A. B.—which make almost unnecessary the acquisition of a degree. Gus has promised to disclose to his multitude of friends the secret of "How I acquired my poise" in three lessons. .Always the energetic boy in heart and spirit, Gus joins the ranks of the Alumni as belonging distinctly to ''20.

JOHN IGNATIUS BRADLEY, ANAHEIM, CAL.

"Brad" I'liilodemic, Sodality, Mask and Bauble Club, Riology Club,

"G" Man in Track (4), St. John Berchmans. "A gentle boy with thoughtful mien."

—Barry Cornwall. Fr, MctJonough once made the remark that a boy

of Brad's caliber could get about anything he went after. And, as a matter of fact, John has been going after things and getting them so consistently that we sometimes wonder if his objective could have a limit, \\ hen the marks were read at midyear, it was found that he had smashed all scholastic records at the Hill­top, and the hats of the student body came off to him with a sweep. Not content with class honors, he entered athletics as a "dark horse" and brought more honor to (ieorgetown in the pole vault. Quiet, refined and mild-maimcred, John has more than proved himself a worthy son of Georgetown and of '20. He comes here from Santa Clara University and as California's representa­tive he has made an enviable record.

ANDREW NICHOLAS BURKARD, JR., Mi.\i;oi..\, N, Y,

".Andy" "Burk" Gaston, Senior Holiday (iimniittce. riiilodemic. Senior Hop Coniniittec, Class l''(]otball l2i i?,K Senior Prom Connnitlei', Class Baseball (1) (2) (3) (-1), Senior Week-End Connnittee,

Class liaskot-l)all ill |2| 13) ,(4i, "/ ani constant as the Northern .S'tar."—Shakespeare. Throughout the four->'ear voyage of this Ship of '20

Andy has always been unobtrusively present. Never was he a person to push the Ego, but on w h o m to depend for earnest and sincere support in all of our undertakings. H e was an enthusiastic member of the various class teams and a wholehearteil supporter of all 'Varsity affairs. But none of these to the detriment of his studies. Here as always he could be depended on to have done his work.

But is is his versatility, coupled with a strong personal­ity, that makes you want him for a friend. In a "league" he can talk well. .At times he is almost Bolshevistic. After leaving Georgetown .^ndy will take up the law. W e are sure that in school and afterwards the same success will reward his efforts as at (ieorgetown.

ERNEST ALFRED BURTLE, GLE.N'ARM, III.

"Ernest" Sodality.

"A man zehu was gay In the thick of tlie storm and the midst of the frav."

—Hood. The Class of ''20 can boast of at least one hard worker.

Ernest is usually on the job from early morning until late at night. Ernest's principal occupation when "off the books" is to take up the cudgels as an apologist for the farmer. Always cheerful and accomodating, Ernest is held in high esteem b\- all for his worth and genial com­radeship.

FRANK JOSEPH CLAYDON, M T , \'EK.\O.N', N , Y ,

"Butch" "Monte" Gaston, Class Baseball Hi (2i, Sodality, Class Eootliall (li I2i, St, ,iob]i Rerchnnins' Society. Senior 'rea Dance Conunitt'e.

Senior Week-End Committee, "He is wit's peddlar."—Shakespeare.

The only and original Butch has the honor of throw­ing more laughs into '20's record at Georgetown than any other man. N o situation could be ever so dark but that Monte could find some dry comment b\- which to twist it into a source of humor. If he is not present at a "league," an unreplaceable eletnent is missing. You find him taking school, life, his successes and his adversities with the same calm acceptance for better or for worse. Butch has been a tower of strength to the class in all its athletics, having answered nobly the call for men to uphold the prestige of '20 in baseball and football. Always the same in his carefree, happy way, he is so much of the ideal classmate that we will find it hard to separate him from the clinging memories of school days. :cgseg'»333

THOMAS ANDREW DEAN, HKiHi.AND P A R K , 111.

"Tommie" Class Pros. (2), Sodality, White 11) |2), .Merrick De'.iatin;,' Team, Philodemic i3i |4), Ye llomesday Booke Staff. St, .(ohn Berchmans' .Society, Senior Week-End Committi e.

Chairman Jmiior I'roni Committee, "/ know these slopes! Who knows them if not 1 ?"

—Matthew Arnold. Tommie is a long-time resident of the Hilltop, having

completed four years of Prep and four years of College at Georgetown, But with such a nature as Tommie's he would not be in any place eight da)'S before all would know and hail him as a prince of good fellows. Debating has been his principal forte, and his ringing voice and splendid delivery have brought him one honor after another on the platform. With his frank, open way and his truly demo­cratic nature, he has made the kind of friends that swear by a man—and their number embraces every student at Georgetown.

WILLIAM CLARK DeLACY, \\ ASHl.VCTOX, IX C.

"Bill" I'hilodemic, Senior Week-End Committee. "/ have marked a thousand blushing appariti ns t-j

start into liis face."—Shakespeare. "Ability knows no better proof than achievement,"

And, applying this dictum to handsome, smiling Bill, the words have added force. During the four years that Champ Clark DeLacy has forded over from Chevy Chase to Georgetown he has afforded us countless op­portunities to commend his abilities and his charming personality. An habitue of Wardman Park, St, Mark's, etc. Bill lets few opportunities pass to "irritate the polished parquette," as Dorscy Griffith would say. .Al­ways the quiet, well-met gentleman, the class says good-bye to Bill with the lin.gering regret that must ever accompany the loss of good-comradeship.

C. HUBERT DERIVAUX, NEWARK, N, J,

"Derry" "Hubie" 'Ireas, (Jaston l)('l)ating Society. Senior Week-End Conunittee, I'hilodemic, Ve Domesday Booke Staff, Senior liin Committee, "G" in Basket-ball 12), Senior 'rea Dance Conunittee, Manager Baseball (3),

"A)i affable and a courteous gentleman." Into our midst he came, calm and unruffled, froin

St, Benedict's Preparatory School, and he has remained as calm and serene as ever for four years, Derry has proved to be an athlete of ability for Geor.eetown, winning the big "G" in basket-ball and baseball. Al­ways interested in debating, he has been identified with the Gaston and Philodemic consistently. In fact, V herevcr there is anything lively going on, Derry usu­ally figures in it, and no man has worked for his class with better spirit. Derry has e\en more friends than he knows, every one of whom is handing out wishes of suc­cess in baskets when Derry swings down the Avenue of Commerce.

J O H N FRANCIS DEZELL, W H I T E PLAI.NS, N . Y.

"Jack" "Rabbi" President, Mask and Baulde Club, Class Treasurer (2), Senior Week-End Committee, Manager Football i4i,

"Happy the man His mind possessing in a quiet state."

—Dryden, front Virgil. To guide the destinies of a 'Varsity footfall team

with Georgetown's 'io-'20 record is a feat worthy of honest pride, and Jack acquitted himself nobly as its manager. At first blush it would appear that he was too sober and serious-minded to contain much of a sense of humor. But stroll into his room and "bat 'em out" wdth him for a half hour and your opinion is re­volutionized. And besides, the man who good-naturedly answers to the cognomen "Rabbi" has a breadth of understanding and an inside laugh which will carry him lar in this life. He fills a big place in the Class of 1920—so big, in fact, that no reunion will ever even approach a quorum if he is absent,

CLAUDE MACDONELL GRANGER, KA\'KAKEK, III,

"Claude" Senior Hop Coniniittce, Glee Cl.ib, Vice-Pres. Philodemic. Merri<'k lieliating 'I'cam, Senior Itinf; CiuDmittec. Senior Week-End Committee, Ve Domesday Booke Staff, St, John Berchmans' Society,

"Polite with candour: elegant in ease."—Pope. Claude was so dynamic that he found the other colleges

he attende'd could not contain him. He prepared for higher education at the College de Montreal and St. Viator's, and remained at the latter institution until the end of his Sophomore year. During his two years at (ieorgetown he has had a mania for carrying off stagger­ingly high marks. W e know him, above all things, for a thoroughgoing gentleman, always considerate of others, but withal, the fun of the schoolboy in him. His hospital­ity is as much a part of him as are his easy, pleasant man­ners; and when he tacks an LL. B onto his A. B., George­town and '20 will vouch unaniiuously for him to the legal profession and to the world,

JOSEPH JAMES GREENLAW, TlTlSMl.LE, PA.

"Joe" Business .Manager lloya, Philiidemic. Glee Chill, Merrick Del)ating 'ream.

Ye Domesday I'.ookc Staff, "Vour hero alu'ays should he tall, you know!"

—Churchill. Someone said it was the eloquence of Paul Murphy

that brought Joe to Georgetown after going Freshman, Sophomore and part of Junior years at Cornell. Any­way, Murph did the school a distinct favor in enticing the debonair Joe onto the Hilltop. Six feet three in height, Joe is the biggest man in the class and Wallie Reid's only rival. Next year he intends to study medicine at Jefferson, and Joe as the tall, dignified Dr. Sawbones of the future is a picture already formed in our minds. Success surel> should be his from the ring of good wishes with which his classmates have surrounded him.

DORSEY JAMES GRIFFITH, WASHINGTON, D. C.

"Dorsey" "Griff" Ye Domesday Booke Staff, Class Football (2), Sopliomore Banquet Committee. Class Baseball 11) (2), Journal Staff (2) (3) Senior Week-End Committee, Hova Staff (4),

••G'' Man in Varsity Track (1) (2) (3) (4). "A zvinning zt-ay, a pleasant smile."

The Boston Post is constantly reminding its readers that the world's record for the 100-yard dash, hung up by another famous son of Georgetown, Arthur Duffy, is still unequaled. However, if Dorsey doesn't shatter the mark of 9 3-5 seconds before he lays away his spiked shoes, it will be a surprise to the experts of the day. For '20's Speed King has just about shown his heels to the cream of the sprinting field. But Dorsey's-speed isn't al! in his legs. He makes his pen travel over the paper to the time of 9 3-5 laughs per second, and his scintillating comments in the Hoya are rare food for the keen and the appreciative. Dorsey says his ambition is to cultivate a fruit plantation in Florida. And if he supplies asmuch sunshine to his farm as he has to our college life, he should soon be rolling in wealth.

EDWARD ANSELM HANIFEN, DENVER, COL.

"Ed" "Eddie" "Hanifer" Mgv. Class Baseball, Philodemic, I'.asketball (3), Treas. A. A, (4), Senior Hop Committee, Orchestra (3) (4).

Treas, Mask and Bauble Club, "Give me leave to enjoy myself." —Fletcher.

In our Junior year from out of the West came Eddie. H e brought with him such energy from Sacred Heart College of Denver that he soon took the arduous tasks of basketball and baseball manager from the burdened shoulders of his weary classmates. Ed is probably the most prosperous-looking man among us, and when he rises to his feet in Philodemic he looks the part. Also he throws a "mean" bow across a violin, and has been one of the mainstays of the orchestra. Keen and snappy, the Arrow Collar man of the class, Ed will just naturally belong to the financial world when he goes bond selling next year. As for success—well, Ed just naturally breathes success.

ARTHUR COCHRAN HIRST, HAVERFOKH, PA,

"Art" .Senior Week-End Committee, See. Philodemic. .Mgr, Inter-Class Basketball, Class Iting Conunittee, "/ haz'c resolved to grozi' fat and look young 'till forty."

—Shakespeare. Resohuions are generally broken, but this one of

Arthur's holds out little hope for stich a fate—not­withstanding any efforts to the contrary. D o not form the opinion that .Arthur has lazy tendencies, for everyone who saw him manage the interclass basketball series can testify to his energy. W e might sing endless paens of praise to this disciple of Abow-Ben-.Adban, but his work on the Hilltop will ever remain a monument to his stead­fastness and integrity. In the legal profession to which he aspires we know that the distinctions and honors which ha\e graced his efforts here will be repeated.

JOHN JOSEPH JACOBS, BILLINGS, M O N T ,

"Johnnie" Senior Week-End Conunittee, "Ye Domesday Booke" Staff, Georgetown-Columbia Debating Team, Lafayette-Georgetown Debating Team, "He is a great observer and he looks quite through

the deeds of men."—Julius Caesar. John is one of the newcomers to the Class of '20, having

put in Freshman year at Gonzaga University, -Spokane, Wash., and Sophomore and Junior years at Holy Cross. With his genial personality, startling dimples and inscrut­able smile, he quickly won a place in the hearts of his class­mates. His forensic abilities were early demonstrated to us and easily won for him coveted positions in the Colum­bia and Lafayette debates. John is a live and leading member of the School of Foreign Service, and lugs back to the Hilltop the additional honor of being elected first pres­ident of that school's first class. Naturally we all thought the law would claim him, but he has seen his goal in the marts of trade. Commerce needs initiative, energy and ability. Johnnie has all three. The class looks for big things from him.

JAMES BERNARD KIELY, NORTHAMPTON, MASS.

"Jim" Class Secretary (2), Historian, Y'e Domesday Booke, class Football (1), Senior Week-End Committee, "A quick wit and a ready tongue add much to the

pleasure of the occasion." If it were possible to get down on paper all the rich

humor that hides behind Jim Kiely's sophisticated grin, the world would have a laugh for every day in the year. A keen observer of human nature in its lighter sides and a congenial, wholehearted companion, Jim's sunny per­sonality and philosophic attitude toward affairs in general have carved out for him a niche in his class and school which is unique and lasting. Turn him loose near a piano, and you need not pay three dollars, plus war tax, to enjos' any light opera or musical comedy of the day. Here's to only the best in life for Jim—and we know it will be his.

with Bud it was not, for he traveled it unconsciously. Bud's friends in all classes will long remember his good-fellowship and humor. He promoted the Senior Hop, and at the Senior Week End, the apex of our social triumphs, we again find him at the helm. The success of both these activities could not have been easily attained without Bud's rare judgment and efFcient management. Minor

- sports and the Pressing Club also enjoyed a prosperous year under his careful supervision. Bud has shown his business ability beyond any shadow of question, and, al­though the future is a closed book, the omens are propitious.

"A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance." Dwyer's personality has brought him success not only

in the University, but even with the fair sex in the spaci­ous drawing-rooms of Washington. His sincerity has made him many friends, and a firm belief in him has brought him much in the way of responsibilities. Besides filling the office of Prefect of Sodality, Dwyer has gained laurels on the cinder path and managed to attain the superlative in class dances. He intends a business ca­reer, and sets out well equipped, as the power to in­spire confidence is a sure stepping-stone toward success.

circle, the grandpas of the class, learn that John I, Bradley is not alone in the matter of youthful graduation. .After endless persuasion, Fred has confided his 'teens, Gonzaga was the oasis of endeavor where Freddie learned how to study well. This fact was well brought out when he walked away with the O'Brien Medal for Philosophy in Junior. If he is bashful about his youth, he certainly has no reason to be so about his intellect, for he has set a shining example to the class as a student. Freddie takes down to the Foreign Service School with him next year the heartiest wishes of continued success from his classmates.

It wasn't such a bad war after all, for when it ended Ed landed in the halls of Collegium Sanctum, He left Holy Cross when war was declared, and did his trick overseas with Fifty-eighth Artillery, C. A. C. Ed is one of the inde-fatiguable ones who trot down to Law School every even­ing after the daily battle with mataphysics. Incidentally, as you might say, he edited this section of Y E D O M E S D A Y B O O K E , and this is no small job. His willingness to shoulder responsibilities is only outdone by his ability to execute them. One word more—if there are any who like music, real music, then to them do we especially commend Ed. His talent is hidden by his modesty, but we heard some­thing afjout "lights" and "bushels," so we wait for the future and confidently phophesy success.

The first thing that strikes you about Jim is his smile — a n d about the next thing, as you know him better, is the sympathetic, cheerful disposition of which it is the exemplification. A model student, a powerful debater, an accomplished musician—and the best of good fellows. These are, in general, the attributes which have made him dear to us during college days. Jim early gave us a sample of his all-around qualities by stepping high over the cross­bars in track and winning his " G " in the high jump. Next he went after debating, and, together with Bob Riley, carried oft' premier honors in the classic Merrick Debate. Jim will study medicine at Harvard next year. W e will always remember his generous heart, his fiddle, his smile— and himself.

Uncle Sam's Navy, from which he emerged with the bars of an ensign. A nevycomer to the class, from Loyola Uni­versity, he quickly impressed us with his sterling worth and character, and soon had made a host of lasting friends. He has acquired the enviable reputation of being an excellent listener, a careful talker and a sound advisor. Also, you are not to be deceived by his serious mien. He has a large share of genuine humor hidden away, and as a mimic has no equal in the class. He will depart from Georgetown with the best that a man can have—the honorable and kindly estimation of his fellowmen.

From Manchester High School and Gushing .Academy Johnnie brought to Georgetown a wealth of football lore, which, coupled with his able execution on the field, has made the University famous on the gridiron. No more heady or capable leader had led the Blue and Gray onto the field for many years—and his shrill words of command and encouragement have put heart and strength into the team when the odds were heavy and the going hard. Be­sides playing football, John likes to argue, and if by taking the "mean" end of an argument he can get a "rise" out of someone in the room, he's happy.

{NOTE.—The following words of wisdom, chortled by one /. Thawtsoe at a wind fest, netted him not only vegetable, hut floral tributes and a ride in the somber shay.)

ANY years ago some willing but wild-eyed rui^ans unpacked their satchels and announced that Georgetown had at last secured a claim to fame, together with four years of excitement. And after they had tired of sending home assorted views of the city and searched in vain for the ten buildings mentioned in the catalogue, they got

togetfier, evolved a class yeU, tossed for class offices and legislated to put a football team on the field. W h e n this team had doled out to the Sophomore enthusiasts as sound a beating as was allowed within and without the rules, and had made horse liniment and courtplaster fairly popular, the wags began to turn their attention to the classroom.

The regular class teacher was one Mr. Connors, promptly and efficiently dubbed "Josh." His was the task of censuring the boisterous and encouraging the retiring. Outside of maiming Latin and Greek, Josh preferred to dispense poetry and jokes. H e had been known to mutter some fair poetry, but he relied on his mark-book to put the jokes across. Many a lad would laugh his way to a .90 without even a passing acquaintance with the text. But the humor didn't figure so prominently in the mathematics class. The boys mastered mathematics through sheer diplomacy, because they couldn't read Mr. Gallapher's notes and he wouldn't let them read Wentworth's.

Only the professor of history. Father Farrel, realized the true ability of the class. For when the newspapers rustled too loudly during a lecture he would apologize for being a trifle indistinct, and when papers dropped to the floor during an examination he would blame himself for having left a window open. And when an ambitious youth attempted to make himself the Burleson of the class. Father Farrel rushed to his aid and informed him that a Govexntiient employe could not become president of the Nut Club, and if he agreed to peddle mail he would forfeit the right to associate with Harry Thaw and the Kaiser.

The event of the year was the banquet, which was carried off quite success­fully, along with some of the silver. Through some misunderstanding the tables were arranged after the fashion of a grog shop and. although there was a scorecard introducing certain authorized entertainers, no one was bashful. There were speeches, recitations, eulogies and laments by, or in spite of, request, and everyone who was willing to lay down his fork could speak.

The banquet tactics, with slight modifications, were used in the final exami­nations. Here again it was "catch-as-catch-can," and mighty few did the Faculty catch.

And in the fall they all came back with revised mailing-lists, new suits and enough money to insure an appearance on F street once a day for a month. The new class chaperon was no other than Father John J. Coveney, S.J., who, with a little encouragement, would do the reciting as well as the teaching—and this with no small amount of gossip on the side. It seemed as if he had a rare one about every common-place old soul this side of the hot place. The very first day he dropped the advice: "We're going to be frank and earnest." Frank he was for the year. It was a bad day when he went to his room with anything less than loo hits out of a possible lOO. Under his able guidance some of the most pliable lines of the class were developed, and all that was necessary was a quick ear or a mean memory. W h e n the class began to nod, the Iron Duke would drag out a copy of Shakespeare and knock all the soot off the rafters with his sheer eloquence; and, disregarding the mimicry of the comic element, would betray every character in "King Lear" and stay right in for the curtain calls. With a piano in the room he could have dashed off an overture between scenes, and could have made a Shakespearean road company look second-hand. To know him was to like him, and every boy in the class knew him and was better for it.

Outside of class we were content to while away the hours by strafing the noisier urchins of '21. Here was rare sport, indeed, and it was surprising how the younger delegation took to it. One Freshman, through sheer generosity, gave a finished performance of high and fancy diving before the Sophomores assembled, and even insisted on navigating with his clothes on. In grateful recognition the class altered the alignment of his nose in the football free-for-all. This long-heralded contest was better than a burlesque show, witJ. the Freshmen leading only in the number of substitutions and the remands for time out. The Sophomores won hands down. The individual honors went to Fatima, who made most of the tackles on both sides. If the boys recited Greek like they played football, Demosthenes' best stump speech would have rattled off like a Mother Goose rhyme. But, sad to relate, the official scorer for the Greek games was Mr. Sheehan, the original Mark Down. W a y back in his early youth Mr. Sheehan had flunked arithmetic, and he always thought that .60 was 100. If a fellow spouted some very fine Greek, followed by a tasty toss of seasoned English, he got a cipher with the "6" in front of it. The cipher would be made any way requested, but the six was never seen upside down. And the reports, like those of the Weather Bureau, were never any better than "Fair." But when demerits were concerned, he shook oft the arithmetic and used calculus. Every night he took out his blue pencil and figured up the corridor demerits, and the boys used to get loads of mail from Father McDonough. The Snooze Club was presided over by Father Giprich, who soothed the shattered nerves in the afternoon with the assistance of Sumuther Tyme. H e had the best notebook experiments in the world, if they only worked. And after breaking all his test tubes and dropping his cigar down the sink, he would gurgle: "Gwug! Gwug! Gwug! Sumuther Tyme!" But the boys wrote the experiments the way they were prophesied and not the way they turned out, so the good friar admitted he was right and passed the whole outfit.

As June drew near the war fever struck the college, and many of the boys went into the service by way of relaxation. And when the trunks were finally packed, nobody knew how long the "good-byes" were for. In the fall school

was out of the question, as most of the men had enlisted. .So to bring the hor­rors of war home to the others, the S. A. T. C. was established, with army officers drilling "would-be" sailors, and "won't-be" soldiers. For the first time in its history the North building was mistaken for a man-'o-war. Full many a time it had been called a garage, a warehouse or a stable, but never had it been denounced in terms nautical. Nevertheless, without the shadow of a launching ceremony, though some there were who could have lent the spirit to such an occasion, a life preserver was tossed aboard the afterdeck (otherwise the porch), and the gallant craft was ready to sink any German vessel of its class. But tf.e Kaiser must have heard of it, for he called the war off, and the sons of the brine departed home in search of Santa Claus.

Early in January college classes were begun again, and the sheep rambled back to the fold. Those who had spent all their pay for marked-down uniforms were loath to yield up the trappings, and for a while the swivel-chair campaigners on F street had opposition. Jjut a few caustic reminders that the war was over sent the military ones scurrying for civilian garb and stop]:ied the local maids from laughing. The new indoor sport for the year was Philosophy, and in the first stages of play the class lost heavily. But suspensions went out of style, and the Logic books were introduced all around. Father Toohey had the situa­tion well in hand at all times. H e would lead off with Barbara, race up and down the Tree of Porphyry, contrapose the obvertend and look around for the answer. And when the silence became oppressive it was time to "take out your books." True to tradition, the specimen was held in the Hirst Library one gloomy day. The gathering resembled the L'ndertakers' Ball, save for the hearses, which were missing—although everyone thought they would be needed. The Faculty led off—in fact, led all the way. The class won second place, as there were no other contestants. And to show that there were no hard feelings, the class arose to the occasion and accepted an afternoon off. In the examination which followed the boys surprised Father Toohey as well as themselves b}' burying the Logic without ceremony.

But the Logic was only the overture, and while the backs were being patted, Epistomolog}' was introduced with such sterling artists as Descartes and Kant. The former didn't mean what he said; the latter didn't know what he did mean. But they wrote a lot in their own way and managed to be very much in our way. Three of the luminaries of the class staged a disputation in Gaston Hall which, netted them a big hand, as the rest of the class had to attend. To keep in the pink of condition the Philosophy patients ran through a light course in Physics. Mr. Summers did some very fine work, particularly during tests. The best thing the class did in connection with Physics was to collect electric-light bulbs.

Then, too, there was Mr. Masterson, economist and historian, often mis­quoted and seldom understood. His two best skits were: "The E m s Telegram" and "The Malthusian Theory.'' These he put over with all the eft'ervescence of youth, together with all sorts of alarming news received from "very high authori­ties" and a sleeveful of melancholy quips. To be sure, he often mixed his lines, but unless he had recently come out on the short end of an argument with the class he was content to be ranked with the "other great historians." H e never did define his term "historian," but it was as convenient and serviceable as "The E m s Telegram." At any rate, it brought him a seat at the class banquet. This was held at the Washington, in order that the establishment might have less to brag about. The Hungry Ones managed to get in without being mistaken for waiters. And although it was difficult to keep the more fashionable sons from

slumping into the favorite chair, or to keep restless hands off the writing paper, the thought of the sheckles extorted for food conquered all lesser considerations. The banquet comprised food, music and speeches. The food and the music were good. Examinations wound up the program for the year, and once again the objective was carried with comparatively few casualties.

September arrived, and so did the faithful. Some kind-hearted old soul dropped a balmy one about the joys and delights of a Senior. Said soul had not acquired his views here, or had gone crazy with his diploma in his hand. N o sane alumnus ever bragged about the idle hours of his Senior year unless he was a Sing-Sing graduate. But to return to the rondo, the boys began to change their ideas as soon as they had set their bags down. The glad hands and the latest jokes were out of order. Father Causey touched off the fireworks with a stack of notes and promises of frequent replenishments. But he had the right idea, as he insisted on putting on a lone performance. In this he met with no opposition, as the class was too busy turning pages. Occasionally one of the unwary or wilful would attempt to swap yarns with the Commander, The result would be a rapid-fire monologue delivered so pertly that the breath would be knocked quite out of the patient and the Solemn One would be forced to manhandle the window, .\fter that Tongiorgi and Peter Pompanatius could have things all to themselves. In bothies. Father Brosnan could do more than hold his own while serving out two or three theses for amusement every day. He was quite cool, and so was the room when he got his hands on a window. On the other hand. Father Hill was inclined to be somewhat ex])losive, and it took a good guesser to name his next move. He won the consolation prize one after­noon by walking out on the class. He had become so peeved by unceremonious exits that he tried one on himself, and, although somo claimed that he should have been disqualified for starting ahead of the bell, he made good time. Tt was a walkaway for him. On Friday afternoons Oratory held forth, and some choice bits of eloquence were let loose. The chosen few would launch into solemn discourse, serving up their best nervous gestures with restful lapses of memory. And the ones who held endurance records for telejihoning registered only discomfiture when given an audience.

About once a week a class meeting would be held after the fashion of the Tuesday Ladies' Club. Motions, amendments and reports would follow each other in such rapid succession that the Soviet Senate seemed like a wake in comparison. The festivities would continue until some buskin would ask to hear the original motion again, and when no one could recall it, it would be time to throw up the sponge.

And so the days rambled on. In the brushes with the Faculty, sometimes the class would come out on the bottom, and sometimes the Faculty would come out on top, but it was all for a bigger and better Georgetown, Cnderneath the solid friendship, good-will and understanding has been a spirit of humor and fun that has spiced our college days and reminded us all, too, that the free­hearted men who have done so much for us are boys, too. Commencement comes only too soon when we have to part company with such preceptors, guardians, and comrades.

Philodemic, Senior Tea Dance Committee Chairman, Senior Week-End Committee.

As YE DOMESDAY BOOKE goes to press, the Class of I02O hails with joy the eleventh-hour return of Bill to accompany it down the homestretch to June. Early in January Bill fell a victim to pneumonia, and w-as forced to give up the battle for a time and recuperate his health in California, However, April finds him well and strong again and back on the Hilltop. Bill spent his P'reshman and Sophomore years at

Holy Cross before transferring his allegiance to Georgetown. Since joining the ranks of the Blue and Gray he has made his presence felt in the class by his unfailing gentlemanly qualities, quiet manners, loy­alty and comradeship. As chairman of the Senior Tea Dance Committee he directed one of those bright after­noon affairs at the Willard which go so far toward mak­ing college life the delightful thing that it is. Bill may proudly claim a legion of friends, who heartily wish him every success in life.

SENIOR TEA DANCE

NEW WILLARD HOTEL

January 17, 1920

After ardenth' wooing the muse Terpsichore through an extended Christ­mas vacation, we found it quite difficult to return and confine ourselves exclu-sivel}- to metaphysics. So to \ary the monotony the tea dance was suddenly decided upon. It may or may not be true that anticipation is the thief of pleasure, but we had no time to anticipate the tea dance, and we did enjoy it thoroughly. A word of praise for the committee must not be forgotten, for Messrs. Donovan, Derivaux and Claydon made the dance a success, and in record time.

THE SENIOR WEEK-END

Unfortunately, YE DOMESD.AY BOOKE must go to press before the staging of our biggest undertaking along lines social. However, the fevered scribe may be permitted to anticipate a little in this matter. The Class of '20, as a worthy finish of four years of college social activity, has decided to give what will un­doubtedly be the most brilliant series of social events in years at Georgetown. The date of M a y 13 has been tentatively set for the curtain-raiser. If present plans are carried out, a dinner-dance, a theater party, a tea-dance and a never-to-be-forgotten prom will be included in the week-end's gaiety. The engineering of the project is in the hands of one main committee, with various subdivisions, and 1920 looks forward with rosy anticipation to the greatest of her social endeavors.

He longed for other worlds to conquer, but did not stop to cry about it. So he found time between debates to win for himself a "shave-tail's" commission with Uncle Sam, and pro­ceeded immediately to show the boys the proper method of artillery combat. Upon his broad and capable shoulders rests the intellectual reputation of our class. W e bask in his reflected glory. And we only ask that he leave something for other generations to learn.

His true Irish sense of wit is as irresistible as his magnetic personality. His sincerity and courage to fight to the finish for his ideals are qualities which none can fail to appreciate. He is an ardent son of Georgetown, being first, last and always for the Hilltop, and, while he cannot help being proud of his .Alma Mater, she herself cannot fail to take pride in such sons as Bob.

The Graduate School

b'T^HAPS only too little is known of the Graduate .School of George­town, comprising, as it does, a group of quiet, serious students who

ha\'e elected to carry on beyond the Baccalaureate into still higher

fields of learning. Some will take Masters' degrees at the end of this year, while others will reach the heights of intellectual endeavor

as Doctors of Philosophy or will continue on to that end. The school is small, but is earnest in its work and avoids undue ostentation as conducive to the more

fruitful pursuit of advanced academic research. In its class lists are men holding degrees from noted American institutions of learning.

The Graduate School of Georgetown College has traditions of which it may well be proud. Ever since its foundation Georgetown has furnished special opportunities for advanced study and research in the Arts and Sciences. In

I' SS'S the Graduate School assumed definite form. Its organization was systematized, and in 1905 this department of the University was given a separate Faculty, comprising a Dean and professors assigned annually to the chairs of Literature, Philosophy and Science.

The class this year is especially fortunate in having among the Faculty two men eminent in their particular branches. The Rev. Thomas I. Gasson, S.J., enjoys a nation-wide reputation as an authority on Sociology, and his course

of lectures on the constitution of human society and its various characteristics have shown him to be the master of his subject that he is.

The Rev. John F. X. Murphy, S.J., who holds the Chair of History, has given the class a comprehensive and masterful review of the world's history,

and has brought out as only he can the evolution of the great forces and prin­ciples that have guided human activities.

FRESHMAN B A N Q U E T HOTEL D E W E Y

May 15, 1917 Throughout Freshman year our social prowess, destined later to blossom

forth into its full splendor and add to the fame of the Class of '20, was hidden under a bushel, so to speak. This was due, perhaps, to that modesty which is so beautiful in a "Fresh." However, the banquet was a worthy precursor to the string of social activities which have marked our progress through college. The affair was held at the Hotel Dewey, and some fifty enthusiastic members of the class were present. The evening was enlivened by many excellent speeches. Jimmie O'Boyle acquitted himself in distinguished fashion of the duties of toastmaster, while Ed Coyne's stirring tribute to "Our Flag" and T o m m y Dean's earnest and timely remarks on "College .Sjiirit" are }'et remembered.

May 8, 1918 The war necessarily put a dam]ier on our social ambitions for this year.

Making a mental note that our Junior year, if we ever had one, would see embodied all our aspirations along lines terpsichorean, we contented ourselves with a smoker. Harvey's was the temple of the goddess Nicotine for that evening. Nor was the inner man neglected, for the committee, with rare fore­sight, provided refreshments of a more substantial nature than the Havanas and Pail-Malls. T o m Dean was toastmaster, and with so formidable an array of after-dinner speakers as John Dezell, Basil McCormick, Hubert Dereveau.K, John Bevington and John Prendergast the quips flew merrily, indeed.

furnished a beautiful setting for the social event of the season.

The arrangements and decorations were perfect, thanks to the untiring efforts of the committee. Incidentally, the Class of '20 was the first Georgetown class to give a dance at Wardman Park Inn. In this we are confident our examjile will be followed by other classes at Georgetown.

January 30, 1919. January found us a heterogeneous collection of ex-soldiers, sailors and

marines. Man}' familiar faces were absent, a few new and strange ones present, so we decided to get together arid get acquainted. The new members of the class, Messrs. Murphy of Pennsylvania, Bradley of California, Hanifen of Colorado, Donovan of Ohio, Burtle and Granger of Illinois, came through nobly when called upon by the toastmaster, Mr. MacCarthy. The presence of a femi­nine orchestra explained the noticeable lack of "kick" in the speeches. However, a loyal son of '20 journeyed all the way to Baltimore and provided that other kick which made the success of the evening certain.

Junior Class History

CLA.SS OF 1921

N anticipation of the honor that is soon to come to us, and looking forward with eager eye toward that day when cap and gown shall be ours, the Juniors groom themselves in preparation and await the joyful summons. But yesterday it was that we entered upon our college career, wide-eyed Freshmen in a new and interesting world,

unknowing and unknown; and tomorrow we are .Seniors, coming to the final page of life's most pleasant volume.

FRESHMAN YEAR

Class elections were held early in October. Jack Flynn acted as chair­man. The "old boys" campaigned strongly for Jack, while the "new boys" rallied around Chick Monahan. Finally our genial classmate Chick was elected President. Gerry Shattuck assumed the duties of Vice-President. Boston fur­nished us with our Secretary in the person of Paul Rowen. The coffers? .\h! They were well guarded by the mighty Dan Ahern. Plamondon composed the class yell and Colvin and Abell the class song.

Then for four weeks, under the able leadership of Billy Martin, '14, our class football team labored in preparation for the clash with the haughty Sophs. But the gods were against us, for, after all our hard work, we bowed in defeat to the Sophomores. However, there was a comeback, for we won the tug- 'o-war, thanks to Zambarano. Then came the crowning achievement of the day, when our relay team ran away from the Sophomore speeders.

The first social function of the class was a smoker at the Lafayette. Chick Monahan, presiding as toastmaster, made our debut in the social world the real success that it was. Under the management of Heinle Coughlin our basketball team won the interclass championship. With the springtime came baseball, and once again the Freshmen took the field. Coughlin and Finnegan again proved their ability as athletes. Ed Smith was elected assistant manager of track.

Here it is necessary to pause sadly and record the untimely death of Pat Finnegan, a victim of influenza after just gaining his commission at Plattsburg. In his death '21 suffered a genuine loss, for he was one of our ablest and best-liked men.

SOPHOMORE YEAR

September came and we were back again greeting old friends and rneeting new ones. November brought the end of the war, and Christmas saw us civilians once more. The first week back from vacation class elections were held. Heinle Coughlin was unanimously Chosen Pilot. Bill Storen of Charleston was elected Vice-President. Tom Kane was the choice for Secretary, and the spotlight fell on John Larkin for Treasurer. Pete Carlin shouldered the burdens of Beadle.

'Twenty-one rejoiced when she was reinforced by many new members, among them Charlie Williams, Ed and Jim Butler, Frank Walsh, Gene English, Joe Gross, Ed Mclntyre and Jimmy Sullivan, back from two years flying in France. Georgetown's social season was inaugurated February first with a tea

dance at Rauscher's. In class baseball we won the championship of the school.

JUNIOR YEAR

Murray McElhinny was chosen Presi­dent. Alec Klebold was to be his right-hand man, but after a week he left for Fordham, and Jimmy Sullivan became Vice-President. Meredith Reid wielded the Secretarial pen, and Al Rourke held the pursestrings. More new faces were seen amongst us—John Brooke, Bill Twohy, Ed Ahearn, Con Colbert, Maurice Mulva-hill, Glenn Goetz, Joe Dempsey, Bill Las-siter, Leo Casey, Charlie Ames, Bill Grogan, Tom Flynn, Charlie Mclsaac and Dan Mahoney. Harrj- Sullivan came back from the navy and Metz Smeach from a year in France with Pershing's Own. Garry Ryan deserted Holy Cross for the Hilltop.

Perhaps the brightest page in the his­tory records the Junior Prom held at Rauscher's on the evening of February 11. Dan Mahoney headed the committee which carried off the evening with brilliancy. Two orchestras, a spotlight, bouquets for Junior girls and a vaudeville act were a few of the innovations.

So far we Jiave succeeded in our work. With a crew of strong hearts our ship has weathered all storms—even that of the S. A. T. C.—and we are at last on the high seas, headed for our goal. Our bark is seaworthy and our spirit high. We'll carry on to the end.

Sophomore Class History

Wr

C L A S S O F 1922

HE present Sophomore Class entered the school during the turbulent war-time days, when there was a lack of organization throughout the country. At a meeting held shortly after Christmas the following officers were elected: President, Edward Burke of N e w York; Vice-President, John Walsh of Missouri; Secretary, Joseph M c G o w a n of

Indiana; Treasurer, Alfred Lynch of N e w Hampshire. After Christmas, when the bell once more superseded the bugle, the basket­

ball team drew most of its members from the Class of '22. Likewise in baseball. Sophomore was well represented on the championship team. In track, the class brings forth its brightest jewel. W h o has not heard of Bob LeGendre, the big man from Maine, who journeyed to the Penn games unheralded and unsung to capture the pentathlon championship of the country and to earn the honor of representing the ITnited States in the Interallied Games held at the Pershing

Stadium in Paris? ;' \ When September of our second year

rolled around politics took the floor, and at a meeting held early in the school year Joe O 'Connell of N e w York was chosen to guide the destinies of the class, with Jim McNally of N e w York as Vice-President; John O'Neill of Mississippi Secretary, and Al Leary of N e w Hampshire, Treasurer.

After much preparation and many postponements the football battle between the Freshmen and Sophomores was fought out in a drizzling rain. 'Twenty-two was forced to bow to the superior training and condition of the Freshmen. Track season again found Captain LeGendre performing in the same brilliant style, and '22 has every right to be proud of the best all-around athlete of the day.

A tea dance, held at Rauscher's in October, ushered in the social season for the class. Under the direction of Charles Daly, chairman of the committee, a very successful and enjoyable affair was carried through.

The class boasts of much material in its ranks, both in scholastic and athletic pursuits, and is justly proud of the showing made thus far. With such a beginning this is a history and not a prophecy. The Blue and Gray may be always sure that the men of '22 will have ever the interests of the school at heart, as they will endeavor to prove by their deeds.

Freshman Class History C L A S S O F 1923

Our class was the first real shellaced and branded Freshman Class in Georgctow^n's history. Real college color permeated the atmosphere, this particular color, however, being a most apologetic hue of yellow. Later, blue skullcaps with a tiny gray button proclaimed our ignominy as yearlings, -At the first' class meeting Massachusetts carried its

candidate to victory, Malley being elected president; Snyder of Pittsburgh, vice-president; Tague, secretary, and Mahoney, treasurer. Immediately afterwards the rules were proclaimed, and there was much weeping and gnashing of teeth thereupon. The "Sophs" tried hard to enforce them. The campaign for postmaster-general of the college

was early launched by the class wags, and Bill Amend and "Tom Morrissey put Daniel Webster and Patrick Henry to shame as North Porch spellbinders. Accusations and counter-accusations flew thick and fast until the politi­cal interest of the school was at fever heat. Even F street was deserted. Finally, Amend ran out of charges and Morrissey out of wind—and Father McDonough still handles the mail. Freshman rules and the detested caps were becoming

unbearable, but the day of reckoning finally came. In a cold, drizzling rain the Class of 1923 crushed the haughty Second-year men on the gridiron to the joyful tune of 27-6, thus breaking out of bondage and tossing the caps to Jericho, The names of Ormsby and Doley were blazoned immortally on Freshman traditions. In 'Varsity football 1923 boasts of four proud wear­

ers of the "G" and winners of the coveted gold footballs. Corn-stock Livers, Malley and Wertz were big factors in Georgetown's successful pig­skin season. Also, in track, Jim F e e n e y proved himself to be the sky­rocket of the class by break­ing records at the high jump in most timely fashion. As a post-war

class '23 is well started toward b i g things i n GeoTg'eto wn. And when the swift four years shall have rolled past, an honor­able and proud record is cer­tain to be en­graved on '23's tablet.

The Philodemic Debating Society

REV, JOHN J. TOOHEY, S.J., Chancellor.

HE Philodemic Debating Society is the oldest debating society in the United States. At a meeting of the students of Georgetown College, September 25, 1830, it was resolved that for the further development of the art of oratory and public speaking, a debating society should be formed. The Rev. James Ryder, S.J., was elected

the first President, and the other officers, selected from among the students, were as follows: Samuel A. Mulledy, Vice-President; John N. Hunter, Secre­tary; John H. Diggs, Treasurer, and Eugene H. Lynch, Emanuensis.

The first regular meeting of the society in which minutes were kept was held in October, 1830, and the first subject debated was that time-worn master­piece: "Resolved, That Napoleon was a greater general than Washington." At the fourth meeting, held in January, 1831, the record shows that "about that time the society as,sumed the name of Philodemic." Under the same date is recorded a resolution to adopt as the insignia of the society a device to be worn as a badge on particular occasions, and to be inscribed'in the books of the library that were bought with the moneys collected through fines, contributions, etc.

The membership of the Philodemic today is limited to forty undergraduates only. All graduates who leave the society in good standing become honorary members, and the names of many of Georgetown's most illustrious sons are included in the list. A m o n g those whose voices have resounded within its walls are Edward Douglas White, W . Bourke Cochran, Richard T. Merrick, Thomas H. Carter, Anthony Hirst, Admiral Schley and many others. The traditions

of the Philodemic for the qualty of its members and their work which have so long been upheld have not been allowed to deteriorate during the past year.

TheMerrick Medal, donated by Judge Robert E. Merrick, .\.B., considered the best debating medal in Georgetown, was won by Robert J. Riley, '20, of Wheeling, W . Va., on February 15, 1920. The question was: "Resolved, That the Amendment to the Immigration Bill, Proposed by Senator Phelan for the Exclusion of the Japanese, Should Be Adopted."

The question was debated with a great deal of spirit and intehigence, and the contest for the medal was by no means one-sided. Mr. Riley won on pure merit, his excellence of argument and delivery surpassing that of his competitors and gaining for him the coveted laurels.

The debaters were: Affirmative—Robert J. Riley, '20, West Virginia, and James C. McCann, '20, Maine. The Negative—Thomas A. Dean, '20, Illinois, and Paul D e W . Page, '21, Texas.

SODALITY OF OUR LADY IMMACULATE

Sodality

REV. HERMAN I. STORCK, S.J., Director.

rr\ H E Sodality of the Blessed Virgin was first organized in the United States here in Georgetown in the year 1810, when the Rev. Francis Neale was rector. It was formally established and received its testimonial of affiliation with the Roman Sodality in 1833. Besides being the first Sodality instituted in the United .States, the George­

town S(jdality enjoys the distinction of having held the first M a y devotions held in this country. They first took place here at Georgetown in May, 1830, when evening services were held during the entire month. The records since 1810 are not complete, since there are considerable intervals of which we have no account, but it is not to be doubted that its existence has been continuous and active.

From its beginning the .Sodality has had a marked influence on the students of Georgetown, and the effects of the principles and devotion instilled by it are shown in their after life, x^mong the famous names appearing on its rolls is that of Hon, Edward Kavanagh, Governor of Maine, 1842-44, and the onlv Catholic who ever held that position.

The officers for 1919-1920 are: Prefect J. DWYER KINNUCAN, '20 First Assistant JOHN J. PRENDERGAST, '20 Second Assistant J. NORMAN WELCH, '20 Secretary JOHN J. LARKIN, '21

ST. JOHN BERCHMAN'S SOCIETY

St. John Berchman's Society

HE St. John Berchmans' Society has existed for many }'ears at Georgetown, and has always held a prominent j)lace among the student organizations of the College. It has for its purpose the training and organization of the students to assist at the various religious functions in the Chapel.

During the past year the society not only maintained its previous high standing, but has, indeed, surpassed it, due to the untiring efforts of the President and to the fact that its members were principally of the Senior Class, and therefore well versed in the performance of their duties.

COLLEGE JOURNAL STAFF

The Georgetown College Journal

URING the present year the Journal can be truly said to have come into its own. Originally designed as a literary magazine to furnish an outlet for the creative instincts of the students, it has been obliged to forego its original end to a certain extent and to invade the jour­nalistic field in recording the most important doings of the College.

However, with the appearance of the tiny Ililltopper, which later blossomed into the lloya, the matter of College news has been well cared for, and the Journal once more turns its attention to a purely literary field.

The Journal was first published in the fall of 1872 by a stock company organized among the students, a committee of editors being appointed from the various classes. The students bought with their own capital a small printing outfit, set their own type, produced the publication and, it is sometimes averred, actually made dividends. Thereafter, through various decades of prosperity and poverty, the Journal has lived, growing from a plain little eight-page, coverless affair, to the large, well-decorated publication of today, lender the leadership, first, of Oswald C. McCarthy, and later of Joseph R. Mickler, Jr., the Journal is now winding up a very successful year—the fort\'-eighth of its existence.

The Staff proper consists of Joseph R. Mickler, Jr., Editor-in-Chief; Eugene B.English, '21; Alumni; Michael J. Bruder, '22, Athletics; Alfred F. Benziger, '20; John J. Murphy, '22; Jo.seph T. Keating, '20; Wilson R. Conran, '20, and John J. Jacobs, '20, Chronicle; Edgar J. Mongan, '20; Edward F. Mack, '20; Paul DeWitt Page, Jr., '21; Leo J. Casey, '21; Glenn V. Goetz, '21, and Thomas D . Kernan, '23, Contributing Editors; Alfred D. Reid, '21, Staff Arrist; William N. Roueche, '22, Advertising, and Donald E. McGuire, '23, Circulation Manager.

The untiring work of Mr. Joseph J. Close of the Faculty has been in large part responsible for the high standard of the magazine this year. And with a nucleus of clever and experienced writers ready to assist him next year, the Journal bids fair to take a still higher place in the world of college journalism.

E R H A P S the most telling lesson that the nation earned during the great war was

that, while America could raise and equip a formidable army in an incredibly short space of time, yet the Govern­ment was confronted with tremendous difficulties in the training of that army. W e had officer material of almost unlimited quantit}- and quality in the college and universi­ties of the country, but the lime necessary to put those men through a course of train­ing which could be but ele­mentary at best was costly in such a crisis. To obvert such a contingency in the future, the War Plans Di\'ision of the General Staff devised and set on foot the plan of the Re­serve Officers' Training Corps, which is now getting its first test in our higher institutions. The history of the R. O.

T. C. really dates back to pre­war da_\'s. Late in 191(3 Con­gress passed a law for military

training in colleges and universities, embodying substantially the same feature's which characterize the present p .an. However, the war interrupted the program, and a new emergency organization was substituted at Georgetown under the supervision of Colonel E. Y. Bouckmiller. The present unit was definitely organized in Februar}-, 1919.

The primary object of the Reserve Officers' Training Corps is to provide .systematic military training at civil educational institutions for the purpose of qualifying selected students of such institutions as re.serve officers in the military forces of the United States. It is intended to attain this object during the time that students are pursuing their general or pro-fessional studies with the least practicable interference with their civil careers by employing methods designed to fit men physically, moralh' and mentally for pursuits of peace as well as pur­suits of war. It is believed that such military training will aid greatly in the development of better citizens. It is the aim of Georgetown to maintain one or

THE BATTALION

more units of the Reserve Officers' Training Corps in order that in time of national emergency there may be instantly available a large number of educated men physically efficient and trained in the fundamentals of military science and tactics and fitted to lead intelligently the units of the armies upon which the safety of the country will depend.

Under the efficient administration of Captain William H. Hobson, the R. O. T. C. unit at Georgetown has been enthusiastically accepted as an integral part of student life. A n attempt has been made to instil into the men an appre­ciation of the more interesting side of military training, with the result that the idea has been dissolved of military training consisting merely of the drudgery of drilling and manual of arms. N e w channels of scientific education have been opened up, and the science of modern warfare is being dealt with thoroughly. The W a r Department spares no expense to give the units the most complete equipment, such as machine guns, .Stokes' mortars, grenades, orientation instru­ments, etc. Georgetown may well be proud of its R. O. T. C. unit, as on two inspections the highest praise and commendation was bestowed upon it and upon its commander, and this in consideration of the fact that there are now over 115,000 students enrolled throughout the country. The Faculty are enthusi­astic supporters of the work, and an unusually large enrollment is expected next year.

The Legal Profession {A Letter from Dean Hamilton)

TO THE CLASS OF 1920,

L A W S C H O O L O F GEORGETO\\'N L^NIVERSITY :

It was recently said by a distinguished lawyer and jurist that the jirofession

of the law was on trial, and that, notwithstanding its excellence in aim and accomplishment, there are conditions existing, and permitted to exist, in the

practice and conduct of lawyers which give to the people cause of com])laint. and to critics ground for the attacks which are too frequently made upon the profession and ujjon the courts, for courts and the profession are so bound together in our judicial system that an attack upon the courts is an attack upon the profession, and an attack upon the profession is equally an attack upon the courts.

You, who are now about to enter upon the practice of the law, and soon, perhaps, to hold judicial office, should, at the very threshold of professional life, dedicate yourselves and your abilities and labors to the duty of maintaining in the profession the standards of efficiency and morality, of conduct and practices which will place the bench and bar on a level above criticism and ca\il, the level of high and honorable action and achievement.

No man should ado])t the profession of the law or enter u]ion its study without a knowledge of its greatness and a fair appreciation of its duties and responsibilities. It is great, because it has for .its object the administration of justice, and justice is the measure of human greatness. The enforcement and protection of the rights of the individual depends upon justice and its fair and rigid administration. Government is useful only so long as it upholds and maintains justice, and civilizations fail and fade when the spirit of justice ceases to animate and control the minds of men.

The profession of the law is said to be the handmaid of justice, and because of this relation there comes to e\er\' lawyer duties and responsibilities and obli­gations larger, more important and perhaps more complex tha.n to men of any other profession or calling. T o meet these as they should be met requires the strength and courage and moral force of real manhood. It requires industry and perseverance and self-denial, hard study, absolute integrity and clean living always.

And you. Graduates of Georgetown, should realize in its fullness the great­ness of the profession for which you are preparing and the responsibilities that you are assuming.

You are amply instructed in the principles of the law and their application,

in the duties and obligations of the profession, but without your contribution

in hard labor and close attention and intelligent consideration, the seeds ot

knowledge placed before you will have fallen upon barren soil, and the labors

of our Faculty will have been without avail.

Remember always that mental proficiency without moral force will never

make a good lawyer; that ability without equipment and training will not compel

permanent success.

The profession requires, and should receive, from its every member such

integrity in act and purpose as will stand as a guarantee for the fulfilment of every

duty—dut_\- to court, to client and to the .State, which is the ])eople.

I ask you to take this as a message from the Faculty of the L a w School of

Georgetown University, and to unite with us in an earnest, honest efTort to make

yourselves lawyers worthy of the title, a title which, if earned and maintained always without stain or blemish, will constitute under our Republic the highest

patent to nobility.

Faithfully,

(Signed) G E O R G E E . H A M I L T O N ,

Dean.

A CORNER OF THE LAW LIBRARY

A Golden Anniversary

ODAY, a period in American history that is marked by reconstruc­tion arising from the bloody conflict from which the country has recently emerged, an era of new ideas, of shattered traditions and broken customs, a time that marks a renaissance in national ideals, in economic conditions and in the social order, there is being heralded

from every point of the compass a new leader in the political world, or perhaps a recently discovered satellite in the legal orbit. And it is with pride that George­town views the play that is being staged and still more proudly views the actors and recognizes so many of their number—yes, recognizes them as her sons. Particularly does she look \\-itli pride upon those of her sons, disciples of Blackstone and Shelley, that have risen to permanent civic prominence, even through the chaotic screen that envelops the present world affairs, by perfect and methodical adherence to those rules of ethics, honor and law that had been learned under the guidance of the legal institute of Alma Mater.

Indeed, there are few, if any, of the alumni of Georgetown L a w School that have not been caught in the spotlight of success. The teachings they had received have been their code, and their code has been the recipient of inter­national recognition and approval. The ideals upheld by Toner, Merrick, Morris, James, Richardson and Darlington during the first decade of the school's growth of fifty years have been perpetuated. But the most enthusiastic expectations of those founders have been surpassed. The acorn planted in the shadow of a nation's capital by those loyal sons fifty years ago has developed into a magnifi­cent oak. After a glorious existence of half a century its roots penetrate into the vitals of the American legal profession, and its branches reflect their sunlit, spangled leaves in almost every country on the globe. From a small handful of students that gathered together in the old Colonization Building on Pennsyl­vania .'\venue in the fall of 1870, the school's enrollment has risen until today there is a daily attendance of over twelve hundred embryo attorneys. Its Fresh­man Class on the eve of its fiftieth anniversary totals over five hundred, surely a tribute in itself to the school's nation-wide popularity, a recognition of its curriculum as being paramount.

From a graduating class of ten men at the first commencement of the school, the alumni of the institution has multiplied until today we find a body of graduates numbering almost five thousand. Yes, those fifty years have been remarkable and glorious.' And in this year of 1920 it is surely fitting that Georgetown L a w School should celebrate her golden anniversary. Plans have already been made and the passing of the year will have seen the reunion of the classes, the review of a half century of progress and success and the planning of a still greater epoch in Georgetown history.

But to relate a history of the L a w School would be quite impossible without reference to the works of James S. Easby-Smith, A. M., '92, LL. M., '94, now Professor of the L a w of Personal Property, and the following excerpt from a history written by him two years ago is quoted:

In the autumn of 1891 I entered the L a w School as a first-year student. The school was then located in an old building at the corner of Si.xth and Y Streets, N . W., where it had been since 1884. The then new building on E. Street was nearing completion, and I well remember the removal to the new building about the end of November, in 1891, and I have a very distinct recollection of

Crrn

MAIN ENTRANCE TO THE L.MV SCHOOL

the historical and prophetical utterances on that occasion of Judge IVIartin I'. Morris, the Dean and one of the founders of the school. I feel that in referring to the early history of the school I can do nothing so appropriate as to quote part of the remarks of Judge Morris upon that occasion. H e said:

"Gentlemen—As you see, we are established this evening in the new build­ing to which we have looked forward with such interest. It is an occasion on which we may congratulate ourselves on the success of our efforts and pause for a moment to look back upon that which has been accomplished.

" W e are 21 years of age today. W e have reached a man's estate. W e have passed the period of prescription. To our original right to exist we have added the right acquired by user and by prescription to exist to good purpose. Our record title, "which authorized us to be, has been fortified by the possessory title that has consecrated the good deeds of twenty-one years of vigorous and energetic action.

" W h e n we moved to the corner of Sixth and F Streets we flattered our­selves that we had at last found a suitable location to be our abiding home for many years. W e had provided arrangements there for about 150 students, and we thought that would be amply sufficient, at least, until the next century. In fact, if I may now be privileged to tell you a Faculty secret, we did not desire to have a very large number of students, and it was seriously discussed whether we should not limit the number in order to secure greater efliciencv. For it was efficiency and thoroughness rather than number that we desired, and we greatlv preferred that the school should become eminent for its proficiency rather than for the multitude of its graduates. But, almost in spite of ourselves, our num­bers continued to increase until, as I am informed, we ranked as the third law school in the United States in point of numbers, and, as we flatter ourselves, second to none in efficiency.

"Our numbers advanced last year to 250, with evidence of such rapid increase in the future as to bring forward again the idea of establishing a limitation upon the number in order to conserve efficiency. There is a satisfac­tion, however, in the contemplation of the increase, for it is in itself a tribute to the efficiency of our system.

"Our new building, which we occupy for the first time this evening, will satisfactorily accommodate upward of five hundred students, and we may hope here to rest many years. And yet, in some opening night twenty years from this, our successors may smile at our limited ideas when they welcome a thousand or two thousand students to the study of the law.

"I have intimated that our foremost desire ahvays has been that our in.sti-tution should be distinguished for the thoroughness of its training rather than for the number of students. W e are resoh'e(I that the diploma of the Univer­sity of Georgetown shall mean something, and that it shall be something more than a mere certificate of attendance for two or three years on the lectures of the school. W e owe it not only to ourselves, but to those who have gone forth from our hall with honor that the diploma which constituted their passports to the public favor should not be conferred upon the worthless and undeserving. I do not say this to deter you, but rather to animate you to nobler effort to endeavor to maintain unsullied the honor of Georgetown College."

The L a w School was organized in 1870, when Father Bernard A. Mao-uire, S.J., was President of the University, but before the opening he was succeeded by Father John Early, S.J.

The men in whose minds the proposal took definite shape, who co-operated with Father Maguire, and who were the real founders of the L a w School were

THE LAW SCHOOL OF 1891

Judge Morris, Dr. Joseph M . Toner and Mr. Charles W . Hoffman, three of the ablest, most-devoted and most-generous friends and benefactors Georgetown ever had.

The first Faculty consisted of J. Hubley Ashton, then Assistant Attorney-General, Professor of Pleading, Practice and Evidence; General Thomas Ewing, Jr., Professor of International" L a w ; Judge Charles P. James, Professor of Real Property and Personal Property; Mr. Justice Samuel Miller, Professor of Equity and Constitutional Law, with Mr. Charles W . Hoffman as Secretary and Treasurer.

Father Maguire, as President of the University, became President of the L a w Faculty; Judge James, Vice-President and practically Dean, the latter office not being created until 1876, when Mr. Hoffman became Dean, and served until 1891, when he was succeeded by Judge Morris, who served until 1896. The other Deans have been Judge Jeremiah M . Wilson, 1896 to 1900; Mr. George E. Hamilton, 1900 to 1903; Judge Harry M . Clabaugh, 1903 to 1914, and Mr. George E. Hamilton, again Dean since 1914.

Judge Morris, although one of the founders and always a wise adviser, did not become an active member of the Faculty until 1875, when he became lecturer on the History of Law, and thenceforth, until 1906, he lectured, first and last, on practically every subdivision of the law.

The course as originally planned covered two years of study, leading to the degree of Bachelor of Law, and in 1878 a third year was added, leading to the degree of Master of Law. Thenceforward nearly all the students took the three-year course and both degrees. Twenty years later, in 1898, when Father Richards was President of the University and Judge Wilson was Dean of the law Faculty, the course for the bachelor's degree was extended to three years, with a fourth, or post-graduate year, leading to the master's.

The Eaculty that lectured to the first class of twenty-five was small, but it planned and carried into effect a system of teaching which, with additions and necessary developments, has been adhered to consistently, and has made George­town one of the strongest and one of the most notable law schools in the country.

The system of instruction outlined by the founders of the L a w School, and fully developed soon after the school was organized, has been found by expe­rience to be the most thorough and valuable which could be desired. This system consists of neither of the lecture or textbook system, nor the case system, but a combination of the two, and "with a thorough system of recitations. At the beginning of each subject a lesson for reading in the textbook and selected cases in the principal subjects are assigned in advance, which the student is expected to master as thoroughly as he can before the lecture. The lecturer then goes over the ground covered by the te.xt and by the cases assigned, explain­ing what is obscure or difficult, pointing out the application and the practice of the principles treated of and illustrating by the cases and by other examples the practical application of the principles. Then follows the recitations, conducted by the instructor, in which the matter covered by the students' reading and the lectures are gone entirely over again in the form of questions and discussions, the students being required to reproduce and explain in their own language the doctrines and principles that have been covered.

In the beginning, and for a long time, the lecturers conducted the recitations, which were formerly termed "quizzes," but in 1899 quizmasters, now known as instructors, were added to the Faculty.

Early in its history the Law School began to recruit its Facultv from among its graduates. In 1874 Mr. Bernard T. Hanley, a member of the first class to

matriculate, became Secretary and Treasurer. In 1877 Mr. William Henry Dennis, a graduate of '74, became Secretary and Treasurer, and in 1880 he became a lecturer on real estate and other subjects. In 1886 Mr. George E. Hamilton, also of the Class of '74, became a lecturer, and in 1901 Judge .Ashley M . Gould of the Class of '84 was called to the Chair of Contracts. Both the latter have continued to the present time to be members of the Faculty, Mr. Hamilton serving as Dean for three years, 1900 to 1903, and is again Dean, having succeeded the late Chief Justice Clabaugh in 1914.

I left the I^aw School in 1894, the proud possessor of m y degree of ]\Iaster of Laws, the fourth I had received from m y Alma Mater. Ten years later, when I was returned as quizmaster or instructor, in 1904, I found myself at home, and yet a stranger. Three of the best teachers of my life, ]\Ir. Darlington, Mr. Perry and Judge Wilson, were gone from the Faculty, but the familiar face and hearty welcome of Mr. Samuel M . Yeatman, secretary-treasurer for twenty-two years, greeted me. The student body had grown to 300 and the active Faculty consisted of eighteen lecturers and three instructors. Three of the lecturers and all of the instructors were former graduates. The course had been extended from two to three years, and all the subjects amplified. But I found the same thor­ough system, the same earnestness in the Faculty, and the same unbeatable indus­try and Georgetown spirit in the student body.

The school has been particularly fortunate in the selection of the men who have filled the office of secretary-treasurer in the Faculty, an office of almost paramount importance. This officer is the one man who comes into close and intimate relationship with every student; the m a n w h o m every student feels free to go to with his troubles; the man about whom"the whole school revolves, who occupies the middle ground between the student body and the teaching body.

The first, Mr. Hoft'man, was a founder, imbued with the zealous spirit of the pioneer, and all his successors have been graduates of the school which he helped to found, and each has inherited the spirit which has made the school what it is.

(Jf Samuel ^I. Yeatman, secretary-treasurer for twenty-two years, I am sure the thousands of students who have passed through the school during his long service share with me the tenderest recollections. Of Richard J. Watkins I dare not trust myself to write. .All graduates during his term of office know how dear he was to student and teacher alike. Of Hugh J. Fegan, the present occupcnt, we all know he is a worthy successor of those who have gone before. More than this no man can say.

During the .Senior year of the (dass of 1914 a great loss and sorrow came to the school and to the student body in the death of its Dean, who, while on his way to the Law School to deliver a lecture on March 7, 1914, was suddenly stricken with fatal illness and expired immediately.

Nowhere have I seen a greater tribute to him and his work in our school, briefly expressed, than in the following resolutions adopted by the Faculty:

"Resolved, That the I'resident and Faculty of the Georgetown L a w School, in meeting assembled, deeply deplore the death of its Dean, Harry M, Clabaugh, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, an;l desire to place on record an expression of ihe respect and esteem in which he was held by his associates and by the student body of the Law School.

"Justice Clabaugh became a member of the Faculty as a lecturer in 1900. Three vears later he was chosen Dean, which position he held to the lime of his death. From his entrance into the school he endeared himself to his associates on the Faculty and to the students by his attractive personality and the ability

and earnestness which characterized his work. As time passed the integrity and purity of his life and character, high ideals of student and professional conduct, his devotion to his duties as a teacher of law, made him a power for good in the upbuilding and development of the school. Taking into consideration the num­ber of young men from all sections of the country, who during fourteen years have come under the inspiration of Justice Clabaugh's lofty conceptions of pro­fessional ethics and conduct, and of his accurate statement of legal principles, it is difficult to overestimate the length and breadth of his service to the Law School and to the country.

"Justice Clabaugh was proud of the L a w School, as the L a w School was proud of him; he was devoted to it as it was devoted to him; and his devotion was measured only by his life; for death met him on his way to the school to deliver his last lecture of the winter term.

"Resolved, further, That the secretary be directed to enter these resolutions upon the minutes, and to send a copy to the bereaved widow and family of Justice Clabaugh, with an expression of our sincere sympathy for them in the irrepa­rable loss which they have sustained."

Shortly afterwards, on INIarch 17, 1914, Air. George E. Hamilton was unani­mously elected to succeed Judge Clabaugh as Dean.

It is impossible to imagine a man as Dean of this school more eminentl}' fitted and qualified, from every point of view, than !\Ir. Hamilton.

Graduated from the college in 1872 as A.B.; from the L a w School in 1874 as LL. B.; given the college degree of A. M . in 1882, and the degree LL. D., the highest honorary degree of the University, in the centennial year of 1889; a law partner of Judge Morris, one of the founders; a lecturer for many years, and previously Dean for three years; a man whose high executive ability has been recognized not only by the Faculty and by the Alumni Society, whose president he was for so many years, but also by the public of Washington, Mr. Hamilton has again come to the office of Dean so well equipped, so thoroughly imbued with Georgetown spirit, and so saturated with knowledge of all that pertains to (George­town, that the success of his administration was assured with his election.

There are now 4000 living graduates of the L a w School. As for those that have gone forth from the school, the world knows them

and their work. To name names would be invidious, but throughout the length and breadth of the land, in every State and Territory, they grace the bench and adorn the profession.

In the past ten years the school has grown by leaps and bounds. The present teaching body of fifty is composed of thirty lecturers, sixteen instructors and four judges of the practice courts. Twenty-three of the lecturers, all the instructors, two of the judges and the secretary-treasurer are graduates of the school. The enrollment of nearly a thousand students, counting those who have since left for war, jiroves the prescience of Judge Morris when he said twenty-seven years ago: "In some opening night some twenty years from this our suc­cessors may smile at our limited ideas when they welcome a thousand students to the study of the law."

What is the meaning of this tremendous growth? It seems to me to be most eloquent tribute to the wisdom of the founders and builders of the school— the Jesuit Fathers and Judge Morris, Dr. Toner and Mr. Hoffman, and their successors—a tribute to their wisdom and planning, and developing the most per­fect system of legal instruction which has been devised, and also a most eloquent tribute to the industry and loyalty of the great student body, past and present.

"'Tis e.rpectation makes a blessing dear."

A promising young barrister is he who can prosecute to a .successful conclusion a spirited practice-court duel, as this embryo Webster has done. All that is necessary for him to do to gain fame after passing the throes of the drastic Connecticut bar examination is to drag the unsuspecting client of an opposing attorney into a ver­bal cobweb and extract from him a damaging admis­sion. The jury will hesitate but little as to its verdict, and then—the headlines of a newspaper write-up, and .A.cunto's fortune is made. The Class of 1920 waits in anxious anticipation to read that paper.

Prom Committee, '17, Smoker Committee, 'IG, '17 and '19, Sphinx Club, Secretarj'.

"True as steel, sincere and independent."

"Tom," with his cheerful smile, has become endeared to all of us. His course at Georgetown was interrupted by the war, during which he cast his lot with Uncle Sam's aviators and later with the artillery. When hos­tilities ceased we welcomed him to the Class of 1920, and have found him a good fellow in all respects. "Tom" has been an industrious student, and some day, we feel sure, he will be one of the shining lights of the Pennsylvania bar. He leaves Georgetown with the best wishes of his manv friends.

"The world means something ij ihe capable."

The land of the Mormons gave us "Andy," and thus places the legal profession very much in its debt, for surely he is fated to become one of its leading members. Always prominent in the class, he has created through­out the course a profound respect lor his ability, and his cheerfulness has earned him the good-will of his fellows. As ,he embarks upon his journey upward his classmates bid him "bon voyage" and a tiger.

HECTOR P. AURAY, W ATERUUKY, Co.X.X,

Connecticut Club, Treasurer, Track (1, 2, 3).

"His air, his manners, all zvlio saw admired."

Hector is another of those demure and bashful-looking chaps who hail from the Nutmeg State. H e made him­self known shortly after he entered Georgetown by his ability to "make" the track team, which in itself is suffi­cient proof of his prowess as a runner. However, realizing that the law is a jealous mistress, he has de­voted no small part of his time to storing up a sub­stantial fund of legal knowledge, and happy, indeed, he is when conning over Blackstone's Commentaries. Hector leaves Georgetown with the best wishes of his classmates.

President (2), Prom Committee (1), Smoker Committee (1, 3), Carroll Law Club. Senior Debatinj; Societ.v (Treasurer), Junior Debating Society, Ohio Club (President). "For niy part, I had rather be the first man among these

fellows than the second man in Rome." After a successful academic and athletic career at the University of Akron, "Bob" came to Georgetown for a change of scenery and, incidentally, to annex the degree of LL.B., plunging immediately, and with char­acteristic energy, into school politics, and becoming, be­fore he had been long in the field, a power in the class. "Bob" returns to Ohio (where, be it known, he is al­ready a member of the bar), leaving behind him in the minds of his classmates a confident feeling that he will be as_ successful in the professional world as he has been in the class; and nothing better could be wished for any man.

LESLIE EDWARDS BABCOCK, A.B., r H r,

N E W HAVEN, CONN,

"llJio, with a natural instinct to discern What knowledge can perform, is diligent to learn."

"Bab," though a new man to Georgetown last fall, soon displayed a charm and dignity of personality that

,:, ; placed him in the ranks of popular men. He came to i\V\ us with a fine record, both military and scholastic. Only

success can be foretold for "Bab," with his genial, affable manner, his bright smile, his willingness to help at all times, and above all else, his readiness to say a good word for everybody. Georgetown wishes him well!

HARRY 'W. BAGBY, WASHINGTON, D. C.

"Still constant is a wondrous e.rcellence."

Harry is a native of the District of Columbia, but aside from that he is a fine fellow. His recitations have shown that he is a good student, for seldom, in­deed, has he been asked a question that he could not answer correctly. W e feel sure that when Washington gets the vote, Harry will become one of the District's leading politicians. Be that as it may, he gives promise of making a great lawyer; and that his career may be a successful one is the wish of his many Georgetown friends.

HASTINGS WYMAN BAKER, A.B., GKEENSHORO, N. C.

Carroll Law Club.

"None hath measured, like unto him, the depth of knozvledge."

Baker claims residence in the Southland, and is pos­sessed of an unquenchable thirst for knowledge anent the science of the law. He has never missed an oppor­tunity to add to his fimd of legal lore, with the result that he is well equipped to begin the practice of his profession. On many an occasion he has made the class turn green with envy because of his ability to frame diflicult questions to hurl at the "profs." W e all look for his early success at the bar, and are confident that his brothers will have no easy time of it when they find Baker on the other side of their cases.

h EDWARD W. BANIGAN, J X,

MANCHESTER, N. H.

"A paro.vysm of legal effervescence."

I\ew Hampshire lays claim to this budding young attorney of mysterious mien, and very soon we hope to hear that Manchester's courts of justice have discov­ered that another exponent of their laws has swept aside the barriers of the examiners and tacked up the coveted sign, "Attorney and Counselor." His analytical nature, dry humor and suave mannerisms need no en­largement or introduction to the Class of 1920, which has always gasped at the metaphors he affects. W e can do naught but predict that the doctrine of "stare decisis" will suffer a severe jolt when "Eddie" gets into the swirling waters of the legal mill.

GEORGE S. BARNARD, OZARK, ALA,

Prom Committee (3).

"In all things admirable and in all things to be imitated."

Although George hails from a State whose name means "Here W e Rest," he has not adopted that motto as the measure of his ambition. Perseverance, energy and fine native ability have already given him a rather wide experience in business and public life. H e was also among those who served his country during the war. A bright mind and the spirit of good-fellowship have insured for him a high place in his class and in the hearts of his associates.

EDWARD FRANCIS BARRY, A.B., A S , MEMPHIS, TENN.

Carroll Law Club, Senior Dc bating Society, Junior Debating Society, , Prize Debate Winner (1, 2), Baseball (2). "He hath better bettered expectation." It is with genuine regret that Georgetown sings the swan song of this embryonic barrister. "Bud" came to us from St. Mary's College, Kansas, where he immor­talized himself as a student, a speaker and an athlete: But at Georgetown he has surpassed his enviable record for versatility, established during his college days. Al­ways an orator of the grandiloquent type, always a student of the Baconion stripe, the lawyers of the South may well look to their laurels when "Bud" enters the field. The success and pleasures which come only to one who has the satisfaction of a life well spent will undoubtedlv be his.

IRVING V. E. BARTH, KINGSTON, N. Y.

"Few things are impossible to diligence and skill."

Earth first embarked upon the study of the law in his home State, and after leaving Albany Law School of Union University he came to the Nation's Capital and took up his studies at George Washington University, Then he decided that it might be advisable to follow the crowd, so he enrolled for his final year at good old Georgetown, That he has "made good" with us is beyond question. This energetic and studious j oung man has no dread of bar examinations, for he is al­ready a member of the bar of New York. W e wish you every success, Irving, in your future endeavors.

WALTER STANLEY BATES, LATROBE, PA.

"Knozvledge is a step which few may climb."

Bates is noted among his classmates for his regular attendance and close application to his books. One from the famous Keystone State is perhaps bound to display to a greater or less degree the characteristics of the proverbial. Philadelphia lawyer. At any rate. Bates has been a faithful student. If he is as energetic in the practice of the law as he has been in his work at school, we feel certain that he- will meet with suc­cess when he journeys to distant Oklahoma to put into use the wealth of knowledge which he has acquired during the past three years.

WALTER E. BLIGH, PITTSFIELD, MASS,

"Our business in the field of fight • Is not to question, but to prove our might."

Our acquaintance with Walter has been a short but pleasant one. It was not until the beginning of the second semester of our Senior year that we had the pleasure of welcoming him into our ranks, and that_ h't has proved a worthy acquisition is beyond question. Bligh is happily endowed with a personality that can­not help making friends for him, and of this fact the number he has made during his short stay at George­town is a splendid testimony. The_ Commonwealth from which he comes is sure to find in him a lawyer of whom she may well be proud.

GEORGE LEE BOSWELL, WASHINGTO.M, D, C,

I'roni Conmiittee. '18. Sphinx Club, "Ye Domesday Booke" Staff.

"Good humor changes the dross of life to gold."

One of Nature's noblemen. George does not blow his own horn, but many there are in the class who would blow it for him. He borrows no trouble, and his career at Georgetown has been tranquil; his record as white as snow. And that's not the half of it, for his rank as a student is among the best, and the few hairs now blooming on his head are a compelling argu­ment that grass doesn't grow on a busy street. While mastering the Rule against Perpetuities he was himself mastered by Cupid, and took the "high dive" with the same success that usually crowns Boswell's undertak­ings.

CLARENCE J. BOURG, A.M., THIBOKAUX, LA.

"Lo! broadening otttziiard as we read. To zvarmer c:ones the horizon spread."

Sunny Louisiana, the land of tie sweetest product in all the wide world, boasts Qf many native sons seeking legal knowledge at Georgetown, but'none more promis­ing in his own quiet, determined way than Bourg. If the best of goods come in' small packages. Clarence can give an express warranty every .time some bewildered client knocks at his office doqr in New Orleans, where he intends to practice. He (?xpects to take a post­graduate course at some Louisiana university. Then we look for him to blossom forth as a leading member of the bar of his native State.

JOSEPH D. BRADY, A X, N E W HAVEN, CONN.

Secretary (2), Prom Committee (2, 3), Smoker Committee (3), Senior Debating Society, Connecticut Club . (Vice-President), r aw Journal Staff (3).

"Fine words! I wonder zvhere I stole them?" New Haven should indeed be proud to be able to

number this member of the Class of 1920 among her favorite sons, for, in addition to winning the first prize for scholarship in his Junior year, he has played a prominent part in school politics. Ready from the drop of the hat to expound good, sound, legal knowledge, of which he has an abundant supply, he should be a terror to future hostile and adverse attorneys who stand in his path, as well as a relief to the learned judge seek­ing light in a complicated case. "Joe" can leave his Alma Mater without any qualms of conscience, resting assured that he has played the game 100 per cent. well.

HUBERT FRANCIS BREEN, STREATOR, III.

"Modesty is a virtue."

' Breen started to learn the law at the University of Notre Dame, but after hearing of Georgetown he re­formed, and we had the pleasure of welcoming him into the renowned Class of 1920. It was not long before he made his presence known, for all of us have profited by his recitations. He expects to practice law in Chi­cago, but, wherever he finally decides to locate, the com­munity will be benefited by his ability, his learning and his gift of making others respect him.

LEWIS T. BRODY, <P A, N E W HAVE.N, CONN.

Prom Committee (1).

"As he'nobly thought, he greatly dared."

"Lew" will always be remembered as a man of force­ful character and magnetic personality. His confidence in his friends is not the least of his good qualities, for Brody willingly admits that they are always right. Con­sequently, it is but natural that he should have made many steadfast friends during his stay at Georgetown. "Lew" is to remain with us for another year, after which he expects to return to New Haven to help set­tle the legal controversies of the inhabitants of that metropolis.

FRANCIS J. BROTHERS, NORTH ADAMS, MASS.

Carroll Law Club, Sphinx Club, Massachusetts Club.

"Winning will put any man into courage."

"Frank" needs no words of praise to raise him in the estimation of his fellow-students. All of us have met him; and to meet him is to know what an excellent friend he is. His ideal qualifications in temperament for his chosen profession and his application to the study of the law assure him a most generous measure of success. W e predict that it will be only a short time after "Frank" gets his office open in Massachu­setts before his waiting list will be several yards long. Here's to a brilliant future, "Frank," old man; George­town wishes you well!

"He is master of zvords; and words are masters of mot."

A m o n g those w h o will go down in history as a credit to our Alma Mater, Russell will take a prominent place. H e is a diligent student, and possesses a congenial personality—a combination which bespeaks success in his chosen profession. That he will return to Wash­ington we have no misgivings, whether it be to don the robe now worn by the Chief Justice or to have an "estate for years" in the White House. Lawyers, re­porters and politician.s—beware of this astute defender of right and justice, lest oblivion lay hands on you by virtue of his presence!

JOSEPH C. BRUCE, MiLFORD, MASS.

"He was a scholar and a ripe and good one; Exceeding wise, fair-spoken and persuading."

"Joe" is known to all his classmates as sincere and unaffected. A s a student he is admittedly one of our best. H e has already obtained valuable experience in the law in the United States Attorney's office in Wash­ington, where he has made the most of his spare time by lending a helping hand in the administration of jus­tice. The class has every reason to feci proud of this fine N e w England youth, and we predict his early success at the Massachusetts bar.

ERNEST FRANCIS BURKE, WESTFIELD, MASS,

"Ye Domesday Booke" Staff, Law Journal Staff (3) Senior Debating Society, Massachusetts Club.

"To have friends is to be one." Thoughtful, quiet and unassuming, "Bill" early gained

recognition as an enthusiastic and persistent law stu­dent. H e feels at home in the law library, while in the classroom he passes final judgment on weighty prob­lems. H e is a man of convictions, has the keen, analyti­cal mind of the well-trained lawyer, and is blessed with a polished diction that bespeaks familiarity with Cicero, Webster, Macaulay and others of their class. His " n o m de plume," as well as himself, is familiar to all, for often does E. F. B. appear beneath the efforts of his scholarly pen in the Law Journal. "Bill" is going to "make good" because he loves the law, and because he possesses the energy and enthusiasm so essential in the successful disciple of Blackstone.

JOHN H. BURNETT, JR., A.B., A A, MARION, III.

"O, this learning! What a thing it is!"

Bighearted and outspoken is Jack from the Middle West. Entering the Law School with the Class of 1918, the war interrupted his course, and "Jack" left us for about a year and a half to teach the Huns how to be good. He returned to this country from France in 1919 and joined the Class of 1920. Well-grounded in the essentials of justice and fair play, he leaves the school ideally equipped to assist in upholding the rights of his fellow-men. Success is his of right; he has but to go out into the world and claim it.

ROBERT A BURNS, <P A A, SALT LAKE CITY. UTAH.

Prom Committee (2), Sphinx Club.

"Genius is mostly__an affair of energy."

"Bobbie," we understand, is not a • relative of the beloved Scotch poet whose name he bears, but, as he doesn't have to depend upon the fame of another for his popularity, he bears up well under his misfortune. Here, to be sure, is a man whose natural ability will take him to the heights of his profession, just as it has taken him to the heights of friendship with his class­mates. Certainly failure is not for his kind.

ROBERT BUELL BUZBEE, B.Sc, LL.B., SiPSEY, ALA.

"Blessed is the man who has the gift of making friends."

Already a graduate of a law school and admitted to practice in the District of Columbia, this gentleman of the South has rounded out his legal training by putting in a year at Georgetown. His courtesy and fine spirit of companionship make us regret that he did not join us earlier in the course. He may be assured of our best wishes at all times, and that his will be a successful career we do not doubt.

JAMES G. CAFFREY, EASTON, PA.

Prom Committee (3), Varsity Baseball Team, '18 and '19.

"To know him is to know a man."

If any eminent psychologists desire to observe a really lightning-like intellect in action, just let them talk a few minutes with "Jim," The Government has been quick to recognize his abilities, and he has been placed in an important executive position in the newly organ­ized Prohibition Department, Ultimately, however, "Caff" intends to practice law in the justly famous Com­monwealth of Pennsylvania, and when he gets a chance to argue a case before a court and jury it will be "good­bye" opposition.

JOHN LEO CALNAN, SPRINGFIELD, MASS.

"And he locks the whole zvorld in the face."

Massachusetts is well represented at Georgetown, and "Cal" is among her best. W e have known him as a good fellow, with a strong leaning toward athletics, of which he has been an ardent supporter. Perhaps the happiest moments of his stay at Georgetown have been spent on the football field, directing the destinies of the Blue and Gray against opposing warriors. Social affairs have held little interest for him, and his indiffer­ence in this respect has caused many a Washington maiden to feel the pangs of disappointment. "Cal's" record as a student has been a good one, and his associates anticipate his success in future undertakings.

JOHN EDMUND CAMMACK, A.M.,

WASHLNCTON, D. C.

"Knozvledge, in truth, is the great sun of the firmament."

Cammack hits us all ''right where we live," His com­pelling smile and personality to match find a responsive chord in the hearts of all who know him. As an enter­taining companion, John is "par excellence," and he carries enough honestly earned degrees after his name to make a normal man stoop-shouldered. The best things always come last, however, and the acquisition of an LL.B., together with the LL.M, which he intends to acquire next year, should round him out into a "fairly" well-educated young man. His success is as­sured, we opine, even though he will admit having been a "shavetail" in the United States Reserves.

DUNCAN E. CAMPBELL, 0 A A, BUFFALO, N. Y.

Sphinx Club, Senior Debating .Society, New York Club.

"He bears him like a portly gentleman."

The cheerful and optimistic "Dune," ex-sergeant-major of your Uncle Sam's Army, is bent upon return­ing after graduation to his own Buffalo, N. Y., there to assist his brother (also a graduate of Georgetown, be it known) in the practice of the law. Always an earnest student, "Dune," we are sure, will take with him a store of knowledge which will make him success­ful in his chosen field, and the same traits of character which have endeared him to his classmates will insure him many and trustworthy friends,

SIMEON C. CAPULE, PAOMBONG, BULACAN, PHILIPPINE ISLANDS.

"The law shall he upheld."

A sober, industrious man is Simeon, who never says anything unless he can quote Supreme Court decisions as his authority. He does not propound many ques­tions, merely sits and listens during classes, and, being a capable and hardworking student of the law, has been able to acquire a stupendous amount of legal informa­tion through his constant and fruitful search through the various law libraries of the city. Conservatism is pronounced in his demeanor of manliness, but withal he has managed to attract many friends and, what is more important, has kept them. His unremitting pur­suit of legal lore will undoubtedly result in a tremen­dous clientele for "Cap" among the dark-skinned na­tives of America's tropical protectorate.

".Surer to prosper than prosperity could have assured us."

After obtaining his A. B. from St. Michael's, Vermont, Carmody came down to Catholic University and re­ceived his A.M. from that institution. His next move to improve his education—his master stroke—was to enroll at Georgetown Law School, where he has shown himself to be both a student of a high order and the possessor of a generous fund of business acumen. During the war "Carm," as he is known to his friends, followed the crowd and enlisted in the Army. Wher­ever he may locate, he will l)e accompanied by the very best wishes of his classmates, who feel sure that pros­perity is awaiting him in his profession.

"For he lives twice who can at once employ The present well, and e'en the past enjoy."

"Frank," originally- of the Class of 1918, joined us with his cheerful Irish smile after spending two years in France with the A. E. F. W e welcomed him to our ranks, and experience not a little pride in having such a man as he among us. W e are certain that when he enters upon his career he will merit the admiration and respect of his brother members of the bar. The class wishes you every success, Carney, and we know that the name of Georgetown will be carried high in the jurisdiction in which you decide to practice.

THOMAS CARROLL, N E W HAVEN, CONN,

"He from whose lips divine persuasion Aozvs."

One of the boys who left the school soon after the declaration of war to fight his country's battles, Carroll, after successfuly carrying the war into the enemy's country via the air route, doffed his khaki and came back to Georgetown to take up anew the threads of his law studies. A cool hand, and a daring one, at any occupation, this chap, we imagine, is of just the type suited to keep the Supreme Court on the right path by convincing that illusti-ious body of the justice of his own contentions. May his fees all be large ones !

DENNIS CHAVEZ, ALBUQUERQUE, N. MEX.

"/ do not fear to foltozv out the trutlt. Albeit along ihe precipice's edge."

The generous heart one naturalb' associates with his first name, and the fire and enthusiasm to be inferred from the last, furnish a true index of the character of this son of the Far West. He puts the best he has into whatever he undertakes. The experience which he has gained as assistant executive clerk of the Senate will undoubtedly prove of value to him when he be­gins the practice of his profession. His record at Georgetown is one of which he may be proud.

FRED ALBERT CHRISTOPH, WASHINGTON, D. C.

Prom Committee (2).

"A kind and gentle heart he had."

Christoph is a most unusual scion of the Class of 1920—a man who has never cut classes and who shows none of the wear and tear incident to three years' close attention to the principles of the science promulgated with so much success by Mr. Justice Blackstone. The first to laugh at a well-directed bit of humor and the last to subside, "Freddie's" cheery smile and the con­tagious explosion connected therewith have made many friends for him at Georgetown. As a parting word, let us suggest that after completing the post-graduate course he stump the country in behalf of Dr. Boutell's "Nine­teenth Amendment."

GEORGE CHARLES CLARKE, WlLMERDlNC, PA.

"Deeds, not words."

Here is another Georgetown man whose graduation has been deferred because of the war. George was originally of the Class of 1918, but he enlisted in the Army in February of that year, and in less than five weeks was on his way to France. It was therefore necessary for him to spend but a short time with us upon his return to complete his course. Our associa­tion with him during that period, however, was of the most pleasant nature, Clarke is already a member of the District bar, and we entertain the most sanguine hopes of his prosperity.

J. FRANK CLARKE, WlLMERDlNG, PA,

"My nature is sitbdu'd To zvhat it zvorks in."

Quiet though he be, Clarke has been successful in making a wide circle of friends during his three years at Georgetown. Ambitious and thorough, he has been a faithful student, and leaves our Alma Mater with a knowledge of the law which only those can acquire who persevere to the end in applying themselves to their studies. His plans for the future have not as yet as­sumed any definite shape, but it is not an extravagant prediction to say that Clarke is destined to become a bright light in the legal firmament.

GEORGE T. CLASSON, A O 0, O C O N T O , \\'IS.

"The zvorld knozvs nothing of its greatest men."

After helping Uncle Sam as an ensign during the re­cent hostilities, George came back to dear old George­town to complete his legal training. H e has been suc­cessful not only in grasping the intricacies of the law, but also in making a host of friends, so he has evei-y reason to feel that his time has been well spent. It is the sincere hope of the class that some day in the near future this son of Georgetown will return to Washing­ton as a mem])er of Congress. Certainly the good peo­ple of Wisconsin could not do better.

JEROME GREGORY CLIFFORD, A 0 <P, B L O O M FIELD, N. J,

I'rom Committee (2), Smoker Committee (2, 3), Sphinx Club, Junior Debating Society, Senior Quartette. "/ am the very pink of courtesy." "Cliff" is a man who has endeared himself to the hearts of all with w h o m he has come in contact. H e has f)een a good student, and there can be no doubt that his efforts will be rewarded by a lucrative practice a few years hence. "Cliff" has not given his attention exclusively to the law, however, for in his spare mo­ments he has been developing his voice, with the result that he has a melodious tenor which has often been called upon to aid as a side number at debates and on similar occasions. The class, to a man, wish him the success he so richly deserves.

HARRY J. COGSWELL, WASHINGTON, D. C.

Prom Comniitteo (1. 2. 3), Smoker Conunittee (1, 2. 3).

"Come! Let us dance."

Harry specializes in dancing, neckties and ladies. W hen we stop wishing that we had one of his neckties, we immediately begin to wish that we had one of his girls. It is not at all unusual to see him escorting a bevy of fair young maidens to or from a dance, for his popularity is bv no means confined to his friends at Georgetown. Harry doesn't know whether he is going to practice law or go into business. Whichever field he enters, we are sure that he will be successful, for his unfailing good nature has made him everybody's friend.

BYRON B. COLLINGS, WASHINGTON, D. C,

"A man's a man for a' that."

If you are an inventor, or ever expect to become one, you will be wise in taking note of the fact that this member of the Class of 1920 intends to practice patent law right in the District of Columbia. Byron has al­ready had ten years' experience in patent law offices, which gives him quite a start on those others of us who hope to make a success of the practice of this branch of the law. Collings is a mighty fine fellow to know, always cheerful and ready with a hearty greeting. Success is right at his door. He has but to open it to assure himself a bright future.

"Flandsome is thai handsome does."

I'he debonair "Tommy" came to Washington from the well-known Quaker City, but, despite the handicap, has made himself a name in the class. Agreeable under all circumstances, and an excellent student, "Tommy" is destined to linger long in the memory of his class­mates. He intends to remain at the Law School for another year, after which he will take up the practice of his profession at the District of Columbia bar. His great ambition is to startle the world with his legal ability, and he hopes to support the title of "Judge" in the future. Certainly he will succeed.

Senior Debating Societ.v, Junior Debating Society, Connecticut Club, "Ye Domesday Booke" Staff. "A gentleman of fine parts."

Always a worker, "Jimmie" has never flagged in his efforts to contribute to the happiness of his many friends. His splendid class spirit and his loyalty to his Alma Mater have characterized him throughout his course^ and he has been a shining example for both the imitation and edification of his fellows. "Jim" is of the earnest, steady and plodding character that evolves geniuses, and we maj' well look to see his name some day included in the category of successes of the Class of 1920.

JAMES LEO DALTON, NAUGATUCK, CONN.

"Let us consider the reason of the case; for nothing is law that is not reason."

This handsome son of the Nutmeg State rarely pops into the limelight of publicity in class discussions, but when he does interject a word of advice or censure, everybody listens. In the ordinary student vernacular, "this boy is there." In computing his chances of suc­cess as a trial lawyer, we give his keen sense of humor considerable weight Dalton is still undecided as to whether or not he will begin his practice in his home State, but in the event he does, we shall congratulate the Connecticut Bar Association upon acquiring a valu­able asset to its justly celebrated organization.

Here is a man who already has the jump on most of us, for not only is he practicing law, but he is also a member of a distinguished patent law firm, with his name engraved on all the letterheads, John is a great debater, and the luster of the reward he won while at the Hilltop, adding initials to his name, has not been dimmed, for he has continued on his conquering march. It is rare, indeed, when he is not among those who sally forth to battle with some rival college on the rostrum.

PAUL DAUGHERTY, LANCASTER, OHIO,

"Illustrious acts high raptures do infuse."

Paul has been associated with us for only a year, but during that time we have found him a congenial com­panion and a staunch friend. Quiet, serious and an able student, he has shown himself fully aware of the pur­pose for which he enrolled at Georgetown, and has made use of every minute of his stay, to the end that he may some day be a leader in the' legal profession. Always thorough and painstaking in whatever he does, there can be but one outcome of his faithful applica- tion to business, and that is success. His classmates wish him unbounded prosperity in his practice.

"The true test of civilization is not the census, nor the si.::e of cities, nor the crops—no, but the kind of man the country turns out."

The ancient and famous town of Alexandria has made another bid for distinction by producing this aspiring young man. Though quiet and unostentatious, he has been animated by a determination to master the intricacies of one of the most difficult branches of learn­ing, which fact has been amply manifested by his able discussion of various questions of law propounded to him from time to time by our friends, the "profs." The proverbial sunshine of the Old Dominion still has an attrac­tion for Desmond, and it is his intention to practice law somewhere in that State.

"There's not a joy the world can give like that it takes away."

Our association with "Jack" for the past three years has demonstrated to a nicety that his genial disposition is unchangeable. Though socially inclined, "Jack" has not neglected his study of the law, and was never more pleased than when called upon to recite in Equity and Code Pleading and Practice. Norwalk will be greatly pleased with her native son's success at Georgetown, but is destined to miss the benefits of his legal training, for "Jack" intends to practice in New York City. That his efforts will be successful is the ardent wish of his Georgetown associates.

"No pleasure is comparable to the standing upon the vantage-gruund of truth."

Our friend of the blond lock is a perfect exponent of noiseless action. His reticence is not due to any lack of knowledge, however, for v hen occasion demands "Freddie" speaks fluently and wisely. He is an author­ity on Interstate Commerce Law, and we predict a bright career for him. "Freddie" has traveled exten-sivelv, and is thoroughly familiar with the scenery at Pimlico, Bowie and other spots with which the men who served as engineers during the recent war are acquainted. Wherever your future undertakings may carry you, Dolan, be sure that our best wishes will be there also.

"iriiose wit was zvit peculiar to itself."

If Pawtucket has anj- more like "Donnie," they will find a hearty welcome at Georgetown. W e certainl_\-have enjoyed him, with his fund of Irish wit and humor. Ever ready with a pleasant greeting, and not at all stingy with his smile, he has made himself one of the most congenial fellows in the class. Those of us who return for the post-graduate course will have the pleasure of "Donnie's" company for another year, after which he intends to open an office in his native Paw­tucket. Success certainly awaits this little gentleman from "Little Rhody,"

FREDERICK L. DONOVAN, \\ EST BKOOKFIKLD, M.\ss,

"Whate'er he did, zvas done zvith so much ease, In him alone 'tzvas natural to please."

"Fred," after spending a few years studying the fine arts, decided to devote his energies to a more practical subject, and, acting upon that decision, enrolled as a law student at Georgetown. He always wears a smile. except when someone praises prohibition; then it changes to a frown of no slight degree. He regretted very much the completion of his study of Real Prop­erty because of his inordinate fondness for that sul)-ject. It is "Fred's" ambition to practice law in his home State; and that this ambition may be realized is the wish of his manj- Georgetown friends.

"His z'ery foot has music inf."

Besides being a diligent and thorough student, "Bud" is one of the most active men in the class as regards politics and social functions. As an entertainer—and a good one, too—he has enlivened many a gathering with his jokes and songs. But for the thirteen months he served with the A. E. F. in France, we would not have been favored with his presence in this class, for he would have been entertaining juries b}- now. His con­nections with the Standard Oil Company- lead us to be­lieve that he is destined to become a great corporation lawyer. If past performances count for anything, you need never worry about your office rent, "Bud."

"It's a friendly heart tltai has plenty of friends." VX'hen a man holds down the chair of Vice-President

of his class for three consecutive years, hardly any­thing more need be said by way of showing that he is popular and that the class has confidence in his ability. Of a genial disposition, "Jim" possesses a ready smile and a warm handshake, which no doubt form a part of the secret of his popularity-. How'ever, this very good student has his little failings as regards the fair sex. Still, he believes with Kipling that "a woman is only a woman, but a good cigar's a smoke"—as also is a pipe. The law holds a bright future for you, "Jim," and Georgetown wishes you well.

JOHN HENRY DYKES, A.B., LEBANON, KAN.

"Knowledge is more than equivalent to force."

John Henry is one of our most admired men. After several years at Kansas University, he saw the light and hied himself to Georgetown. W e have certainly enjoyed his stay with us, blessed as he is with a sunny countenance and a keen sense of humor. Always know­ing the point of law. involved, he is a dangerous man to draw into an argument. "Johnny" remained away from his studies long enough to take a trip to France and par­ticipate in the big fight, serving with distinction as a captain in the infantry. W e like the sincerity w'ith which you express yourself, "Johnny," and can see only brilliant prospects on the horizon.

"A youth to whom was given So much of earth, so much of Heaven."

"Squire" is the deep, dark secret of the class. Gifted with a master political mind, he moves in silence among his fellows. In class politics his. power has always been felt, but little known, and his interest in the welfare of the aggregate is as profound as his silence. Egan's idea of a square deal and his energy and ability to ac­complish his desires give us great confidence that when his efforts are applied in the larger field of human ac­tivities his influence will be beneficial to the entire community in which he practices. More power to you, "Squire!"

m GEORGE M. ELLIOTT,

N E W HAVEN, CONN.

"A mind not to be cliang'd by place or time."

George is another of our number whom we would not have possessed if the war had not interrupted his course at Georgetown. After two years' service in France, however, in the well-known struggle for democracy, he returned to the'good old U. S. A. in time to join the Class of 1920 on the last lap of its journey. W e have found him a loyal friend and a conscientious stu­dent. George is planning to display his legal talents to the populace of the District, and he bids fair to be­come a lawyer whose opinions will command the most profound respect.

CHARLES P. ELMER, TOLEDO, OHIO.

"Wit and wisdom are born zvith a man."

"Shad." by which appellation Elmer is known to his friends, is blessed with a personality that attracts all with whom he comes in contact. As a result, he can find in the Class of 1920, with which he has been asso­ciated but a year, an unusually large number of friends. Owing to the war, he missed graduating in 1918, for, with a number of his former classmates, he set out for France where he spent two years, returning a veteran of many engagements. "Shad's" goal is the practice of the law in Sunny California, and his classmates see for him a very bright future in his well-chosen field of endeavor.

"/ have lived to know that the secret of happiness is never to allow your energies to stagnate."

A. man of quiet demeanor but indomitable will, is Farley. There has been a hiatus in his course at the Law School, but he could not forget the lure of the law, and thereby the profession has been preserved from the loss of a brilliant scholar and capable patent attorney. He has allowed no frivolity to divert his atten­tion from the pursuit of his studies. Such earnestness and determination are bound to win, and Cleveland, Ohio, may consider herself favored if he follows out his contemplated plan of entering the field there.

HUGH B. FEGAN, VN'ASHINGTON, D. C.

"And still the wonder grew Hozv one small head could carry all he knew."

Hugh is a product of old D, C, a fellow who listens well and speaks volumes in a few short sentences. If coolness, determination and mental ability count ior aught, Hugh will certainly make his mark in the world, and we feel sure that the mark will be a high one. His record at Georgetown is an enviable one, and his native city is to be dealt a hard blow, for Hugh is to enter upon the practice of his profession in Boston, where his classmates earnestly hope his endeavors will merit early recognition.

SAMUEL A. FEINER, PROMDENCE, R. I,

Smoker Committee (3), Senior Debating Society.

"/ strove, made head, gain'd ground upon tlie whole."

"Sinn" Feiner hails from "Little Rhody," where pro­hibition and woman suffrage are as welcome as they are anywhere else. Although not a member of the Friends of Irish Freedom, he is a staunch supporter of tiie Irish Republic. Rumor has it that "Sam" is considered a wily politician. Be that as it may, his legal talents are of a very high order, if we may judge from his record at school, and the Rhode Island liar will be fortunate in the acquisition of such a member.

THOMAS G. FINUCANE, WASHINGTON, D. C.

I'rom Co nmittee (1), Smoker Committee (3).

"A man's virtue must be measured, not by his extraor­dinary efforts, hut by his usual course of action."

A quii't, reserved young man, yet when he speaks in class i' is instantly apparent from the keen and thor­ough comprehension exhibited in his remarks that he has been keeping wide awake and has absorbed some of the fine points that have vololaned over older heads. Truly, "an infant prodigy." "Fin" has in contemplation doing his share in upholding the dignity of the bar by opening an office in the District of Columbia, But even in a constellation composed of some of the brightest luminaries in the legal firmament, we confidently ex­pect him eventually to prove a shining star.

THOMAS A. FLANAGAN, MATTAPAN, MASS,

"May the wings of friendship never molt a feather."

The personification of true Irish wit and geniality, a fine, good-hearted, clear-thinking son of Erin, an exponent of the great principles of liberty embodied in the Declaration of Independence, is " T o m " Flanagan, and all who know him will so testify. Sad to relate, though, "Tom" has one serious fault. H e is laboring under the delusion that Massachusetts is the entire L'nited States, especially from a legal point of view. However, this sad condition in "Tom's" mentality is being remedied, and when a cure is effected w e predict that there will be no better lawyer than this stalwart Friend of Irish I''recdom.

ISADORE FLEXNER, You.NGSTowN, OHIO,

"Thine the chivalric obeisance, the courteous grace of the Norman."

"Izz}-," tall, good-looking and congenial, is known to his friends as the "dude." H e is possessed of a disposi­tion which makes association with him a pleasure, and as a result he has made a host of friends during his three years at Georgetown. H e has never failed to show a proper regard for the feelings of others, and this commendable quality has justly increased his popular­ity. As a student "Izzj-" has shown that he is also serious and conscientious. W e hope that the future will be good to him.

CHARLES DEWEY FLYNN, T H E PL.MNS, \'.\,

"To knoze thyself is to knozv others."

"Charlie" is one of our best-known men. He is, first of all, a true gentleman, and we know of no one who shows more consideration in his dealings with others. By everyone w h o m he has met he is respected and admired. In going forth to take his place in the world the best wishes of all attend him, and if char­acter is the criterion of success, we feel safe in sayin.g that "Charlie" will reach the topmost rung of the ladder of fame.

".Steadfast zvas his purpose and his friendship."

In all this panegyrizing and rhapsodizing of class celeb­rities, college curios and favorite sons, struck softly and agreeably on the tympanum, it is easy to attune the lyre and sing sweetly and feelingly of so prominent a character as "Bill." There are many in the class as great intellect­ually as he; some of surpassing ability. But there is no more genuinely good-natured; no one more sincerely w'ell-liked. His association has been of the most congenial nature, and his friendship of the most enduring kind. Is it any wonder that we take leave of "Bill" with a feeling of regret?

JOSEPH G. GAUGES, WASHINGTON, D. C.

"Early and provident fear is the mother of safety."

"Joe" is one of the most congenial men in the class, and that, in a class abounding in congenial men, is say­ing a great deal. Out in Nevada fhey are going to get a pleasant surprise soon—^"Joe" is going to take his legal knowledge to that State and hang up his shingle. W e don't know why,he selected Nevada, but one place is as good as another for a lawyer who is really good, and "Joe" will certainly be a lawyer of that kind. H e will make a notable addition ;to the legal talent of that Far Western State,

trip about him at command." In the fall of 1917 there came to us from St. Mary's College, Kansas, this son of Western culture. In the course of our association with him at Georgetown we have found Gavin a man of many attainments. H e has displayed much ability as an orator and as a writer, and in addition has proved himself an entertaining com­panion and an assiduous student. His one weakness lies in the penchant for that which is indicated by the introductory initial. Upon his classmates Austin has left an indelible impression, and w e feel entirely safe in predicting that wherever Fortune may lead him, he will be able to command the good-will and the best wishes of a host of friends and admirers.

As one of the staunchest supporters of all class activities, he has helped in no small degree toward the success of '20. \A'hen he is not occupied with his multitudinous class duties, John practices with the Class Quartette—and not in vain, as we who know can cheerfully testify. Nat­ural ability plus three years at the best law school in the country will keep John in the front ranks for many, many years.

H e is a genial soul, and generally well primed for the "profs" when knotty questions are up for adjudication. His record at the L a w School proves that he can "deliver the goods," and we wish him success wherever he may pitch his tent After another year at Georgetown, in quest of an LL.M., Gibbs will embark upon his career, and to say that he will be a credit to the Class of 1920 is merely surplusage.

"Ease with dignity."

"Gil," from the university of Ethan Allen's famous old State, has made himself one of the most popular members of the class by his ever-present and super­abundant cheerfulness. Besides this, he is a hard worker and has maintained throughout his entire course a high grade of scholarship. Ambition is his outstanding trait, and the world will greet him and his brand-new law degree with open arms, for there is need, in these days, of rnen of his high caliber. M a y good luck be in his following!

He should shine to great advantage there." That the ermine of Justice be not sullied is one of the reasons why men of character comparable to that of this handsome young Lochinvar have allotted to them the difficult task of solving the mysteries of the legal science. The Class of 1920 is honored by the addition to its ranks of Gnau—studious, self-possessed and con­vincing—and is proud of the fact that the military serv­ice of his country claimed him for over two years in France and at home. Our good wishes are with vou, Paul. The rest is up to you.

AVELINO GONZALEZ, WASHINGTON, D. C.

"They are never alone that are accompanied by noble thoughts."

Avelino intends to give the largest city in the world the benefit of the many fine points of law he has learned at Georgetown. Yes, he expects to practice in N e w York City, and we know that the bar of that great town will be benefited by the acquisition of his talents. As a lawyer he will be greatly benefited by the experience he obtained while he was private secretary to the Span­ish Ambassador. Avelino is a fine, likeable young felow, and his classmates wish him the success which he so rightly deserves.

J. A. GONZALES, SAN JUAN, PORTO RICO,

"Come and trip it as ye go On the light fantastic toe."

This quiet, suave son of Porto Rico has grown upon us as each day passed. Frankly, we like him, and are confident that he will have much success upon his re­turn to that sunny island to practice the law under the direction of a distinguished parent of like profession. H e is a past master in the terpsichorean art, and "bats a thousand" at the University promenades and all others where the strains of music are sweet and the feet glide smoothly over the floor. H e has a wide acquaintance with beautiful ladies, but the envy of his classmates in this respect does not influence the sincerity of our lik­ing nor the warmth of our good wishes for his future prosperity.

ARTHUR ANTHONY GOTTKO, BAYONNE, N. J.

"But I have that within zvhich passeth show; These but the trappings and the suits of woe!"

To all but his intimate friends Arthur exhibits a shadow of reserve, but beneath the surface is a great fund of good-fellowship craving for recognition. So­cial life does not appeal much to this son of George­town, He is an omnivorous reader and a deep thinker, and is happiest when alone or closeted with an intimate friend, discussing the great legal problems of the day. W e hope that the future holds nothing but good for "Art," and know that the tenets instilled into him at Georgetown will be put to good use in his future field of endeavor.

"Bill" hails from the good old Bay State, and his gen­tlemanly qualities, together with his record as a stu­dent, stamp him as a worthy son of the Old Colony, His three years at Georgetown have endeared him to all of us who know him. He has had a rather wide experience in business life, and served one year with the boys who won the big fight. That "Bill" will be successful in his profession is a foregone conclusion.

JOHN MARVIN GREER, 0(;LETH()RPE, GA,

"He who sows courtesy reaps friendship: and he ivho plants kindness gathers love."

The land ol cotton and corn has given us a number of admirable men, but none more likeable or typical of the fine traditions of the South than this one. Cour­teous at all times, generous to a fault, sincere in heart and manner and a fine student, he emliraces all the qualities which have made him deservedly popular with those who know him. He leaves Georgetown with the heartiest good wishes of his many friends.

PAUL EMERY HADLICK, BLUE EARTH, MINN.

"In years young, yet in thought mature."

Not yet arrived at man's estate, he has taken a man's part in school, in business and in his country's cause. In the summer of 1918 Paul attended the training camp at Plattsbtirg, and was commissioned in the Army the following September. His other duties have not pre­vented his taking a high rank as a student, and he holds an enviable place in the affections of his associates. May Fortune smile upon you, Paul!

"/ zvill listen to anyone's convictions, but pray keep your doubts to yourself. I have plenty of my own."

A deep and earnest student of the l^w, and a man of wide experience. Also an athlete "par excellence," "Hal" was captain of the basketball team at Randolph-Macon Academy and "winner of the pole vault in 1904, and was a member of the tennis team of St. John's College in 1908. Patent law is his long suit, and he expects to specialize in that line. "Hal" has a well-developed aesthetic taste and a keen eye for beauty. Witness his concurring opinion of the famous Bathing Beauties held in captivity by Mack Sennett.

LEONARD WOOD HALL, OYSTER BAY, N. Y.

" What men want is not talent; it is purpose; in other words,-not the power to achieve, but the will to labor."

Having heard of her fame even in distant New York, Hall came to Georgetown to obtain a training that would equip him to assume a leading role in the legal profession on the old stamping ground of Hamilton, Choate and McAdoo. And of talent in the legal line he has an abundance. The rule in Shelley's Case and other bugaboos wished on posterity by inconsiderate black-letter artists of a remote age have had no terrors for this young man. Hall has the proverbial host of friends whose best wishes will accompany him when he embarks on his contemplated career.

Friends, fellow-classmates, students of Georgetown— carefully look upon our dearly beloved George, and real­ize that your eyes are resting upon one who lives day and night in a legal atmosphere. H e cannot get away from legal influences even should he desire to do so, for George is the son of our eminent and respected Dean. If it were necessai-y, he could undoubtedly be­come a lawyer by the process of absorption. H e has a great predilection for the law, and his naturally bril­liant mentality combines to make success a certainty.

Yes, he claims Chicago as his home, but we have never heard him boast about it. In fact, we have never heard him boast about anything. Absence of bragging is a sure indication of real merit, and this is well ex­emplified in "Han." W e have known him and been associated with him for three years, and it can truth­fully be said that he has lost no opportunity in laying a foundation for a career in the legal profession which will ultimately stamp him as one of the leaders and bring him well-earned rewards,

"A fellow of infinite jest." The "Lieut'' came to us originally from Yonkers, N. Y., and his career since we have known him has indeed been a busy one. H e was commissioned a "shavetail" at Jacksonville, Fla., in the summer of 1918, and, notwithstanding his pressing official duties, he has been able to carry on his study of the law in a most creditable manner. His favorite indoor sport is "fuss­ing" the fair sex, at which art he is a past master. His singular good-fellowship, pleasing personality and na­tive ability will entitle him to a place among the lead­ing jurists of N e w York City, where he expects to practice.

We can say with all sincerity that "Jack" is a keen, straightforward, jolly good fellow, and one of the most popular men in the Class of 1920, There is no harder worker in the class than "Jack," and the success which he has attained in piloting the social affairs with which he has been connected speaks volumes for his business ability. Nor has his study of the law been neglected, if his recitations are any- criterion. That same marked capacity for "putting things over" which has characterized his school activities is bound to make Hardell a power in the legal profession. Good luck, "Jack!" May Fortune ever smile upon your efforts!

"/ zvould help others, out of a fellozv-feeling."

"Joe" has a rather roving disposition. He soent part of his college life at St, Mary's, Kansas, and the re­mainder of it at Catholic University, receiving his .\.B. from the latter institution. Because of his actiA'ities in class politics, "Joe" is known to his intimates by the sobriquet of "Colonel House." He has been a true Iriend to all of us, and the sincere good wishes of his classmates will accompany him to his home town, where he contemplates embarking upon his career as a lawyer.

"Censure is the tax a man pays the public for being eminent."

Joe comes from the land of canncl coal and storied lunar luminosity. He is a born politician, and is des­tined to play an important part in his bailiwick. Joe has been active in all class affairs, and especially in politics has his influence been felt. In the moot court he has distinguished himself as a trial lawyer and proved his mettle. Judging from the showing lie has made so far, we have no hesitancy in predicting that the fullest measure of success will crown his labors when he re­turns to his home town and engages in the practice of the law.

"There zvas a man zvho knczv his lazv."

Of a genial and generous disposition that has re­sulted in a host of friends, Haynes is in truth a man of rare variety-. He is a student of high rank, and has displayed none of that fear of approaching examina­tions which has been all too apparent in so many of us. His admission to the bars of the Supreme Court and the Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia is but one of the things which have distinguished him during his career at Georgetown. His attention to his studies has not, however, prevented him from taking part in class activities. Surelj- we are safe in predicting his success at the bar.

IRVING JOSEPH HEATH, A.M., Ph.L., A X

MEDFORD, MASS.

"A man of letters."

The string of degrees carried on the belt of one of our most consistent students is all that is necessary to serve as an introduction of one who has every indi­cation ot a successful career, whether in legal fields or in other lines of endeavor requiring a man of intel­lect and mature judgment. But Heath's ability has been perhaps most marked in athletics, where he has W'On well-earned distinction in practically every field of sport offered at Boston College, of which institution he is a graduate. Irving has made a host of friends at George­town, and we confidently expect to hear more of him as lime rolls on.

GEORGE A. HEISEY, ST, P A U L , MIX.X.

"Hark! Hark! The lark at Heaven's gate sings."

Minnesota has ever been generous in the quota of men she has each year furnished Georgetown, but she was never more so than when she sent Heisey to Wash­ington to pursue his law course. After the concept of student, the first idea which comes to those who know him is that of vocalist, for when his work with his books was done—and George has been a faithful stu­dent—he turned his thoughts to the lighter vein of music. That Minnesota will hear fromi her son who came to Washington to learn the intricacies of the law is a conservative prediction.

JOSEPH C. HENLEY, IRON RIVER, MICH,

"Dignity of manner always conveys a sense of reserve force."

"Joe," like the true Wolverine he is, thinks that there's no place like the Upper Peninsula; therefore, it is no wonder that he has been burning the midnight oil of late, getting ready to pass the Michigan bar examina­tion, Henle}' is a quiet man naturall}-, yet he has been able to command the attention of the whole class when called upon to recite. Iron River sent us a student; we send her a capable young lawyer of whom she may well be proud. The best wishes of Georgetown go with him.

EDWARD S. HIGGINS, A X, YONKERS, N, Y.

Secretary, Patent Law Class.

"An affable Sn-d courteous gentleman."

This gentleman from the great State of New York is quiet, careful and faithful 'in attendance at all classes and lectures. His scholai*ship is apparent to all of us, and his proficiency of the topnotch variety. Having joined the ranks of the benedicts, his matrimonial expe­rience should fit him for the trial of criminal cases where an alibi is the only hope offered, but in view of his past political connections at Yonkers, we must assume that Higgins is in \\'ashington looking over the ground for future offices near the seat of the nation's pulse. May good luck be always with you, "Ed !"

"To be trusted is a greater compliment than to be loved."

The most trusted man in his class ; also an encyclo­pedia of general information who uses his knowledge of things general for the benefit of his friends, "Gene" was elected Treasurer by the largest vote and after the shortest speech ever recorded at Georgetown, thus demonstrating his rule of conduct—that a few words rightly spoken are more effective than much oratory. Successful for some years as a Congressional secre­tary, he has also been an earnest student during his days at Georgetown, and goes forth with the friendship and best wishes of all his fellows.

WILLIAM T. HOPKINS, A & 0, SWEETWATER, TENN,

"Men's judgments are a parcel of their fortunes."

"Hop" has not been with us long—just dropped in for his final year. After his service in France with the ""Treat 'Etn Rough" outfit we were glad to welcome this promising young lawyer to Georgetown. His pleas­ing personality and winning smile have made many a friend for him, and we feel assured that they will con­tinue to do so wherever Destiny may lead him. As a student of the law we can recommend him most highly. Good luck to you, "Hop"; may your career at the bar be a prosperous one !

"Patience is a necessary ingredient of genius."

Diminutive as to stature, but a "six-footer" intellec­tually, "Check," after taking a whirl at higher education in the Universities of Utah and California, came East to acquire legal lore at Georgetown. W e unqualifiedly recommend him as a lawyer and a gentleman to the good people of the sovereign State of Idaho, to whom, we understand, he intends to offer his talents upon leav­ing the Law School. His record in Washington speaks volumes for his ability, and his disposition, when one has known him, speaks for itself.

"Knowledge is proud that he has learned so much."

A man of whom Georgetown is proud. Nature was rich in endowing him, giving him a keen, analytical mind and a fine personality, the combination having en­abled him to carry off honors in his class and stand equally high in the estimation and regard of his associates. Such a man cannot well fail to meet with unbounded suc­cess, and the many friends whom he has made at George­town will always cherish their association with him as a most pleasant memory.

"How life behind its accidents Stands strong and self-sustaining."

A native son of Hillsboro, 111., Hudson came East and matriculated at Rutgers College, later journeying to Georgetown to enroll himself among the embryo lawyers of the Blue and Gray. He was a student at the Law School in 1912-1913 and 1913-1914. He has seen considerable military service; in fact, he is still wearing the uniform of his country. As a first lieuten­ant he saw more than a year of active service in France, and is now recovering from wounds received in battle. W e have no doubt that he will serve his chosen profes­sion with the same splendid unselfishness that has char­acterized his service to his country.

"He holds the noiseless tenor of life's way."

"Jack" is another of those distinguished-looking chaps that hail from New England. W e can conscien­tiously extend to him unstinted praise for whatever activities he has engaged in during his school career. H e has always been a faithful worker, and additional credit is due him for the cheerful disposition and kind words that have lighted many a one over a dark way. He leaves us with a record of which he may well feel proud, and one upon which we feel assured he will build a great future.

WILLIAM J. HUGHES, JR., A.B., WASHINGTON, D. C.

Carroll Law Club.

"And truly a man he Was."

The Captain—for such, indeed, he is—is one of those quiet and retiring persons who are seldom heard, but when they speak we all give added weight to what is said, knowing it w'ill be well worth hearing, "Bill's" future, to judge from his past, will be bright and blessed with many friends to sing his praises, for not only has he shown his legal ability, but he has that gift without which the greatest achievements are failures— that of making friends.

JOHN S. HURLEY, MANCHESTER, N. H,

Smoker Committee (3).

"Energy and persistence conquer all things."

Quiet and unassuming in manner, an earnest and con­scientious student, industrious at all times, this repre­sentative of the Granite State embodies the finest tra­ditions of Georgetown. His intimates love him, and all others admire him. John is married, and intends to engage in the active practice of the law in his home town. H e carries with him the best wishes of his class­mates, w ho confidently predict for him a successful career.

That were not born to die." 'Tis a pleasure, indeed, to have an opportunity to be­stow upon one so worthy as "Joe" his just meed of praise. From the modest beginning of Historian to the crowning victory achieved when elected to the Editorship of Y E D O M E S D A Y B O O K E , "Joe" has ever been

in the limelight, a burning ambition so characteristic of his nature ever spurring him onward and upward. Hurley has stood out in very positive fashion in the Class of 1920, and it is not likely that his classmates will soon forget him. M a y your path in life be strewn with roses of success, "Joe," like those which you have plucked by the way in your three-year journey toward 1920 and graduation!

MERTON J. JACKSON, WASHINGTON, D. C.

"The Golden Age is not behind, but before you."

With "the love of liberty protected by the law," this product of the Nation's Capital goes out "with no taint of sectionalism nor narrow local prejudice about him," Just arrived at man's estate, a fine student and possess­ing a sunny disposition, Merton embodies those quali­ties which tend for success in any line of endeavor. H e will probably be enrolled as a post-graduate student next year, after which he is bound to make a name for himself at the bar of justice.

"Jamie," with his hearty handshake and pleasant countenance, has become endeared to all of us. It is hard to realize that we are about to part company with this fine fellow. He has been an ideal student, modest, and always on the job. His favorite sport is politics— he says so himself—and there is no denying the power which he has exerted in class elections. "Jamie" gen­erally clouds his pleasant countenance with a cigar of generous proportions. This we interpret as an indica­tion of future prosperity. A hard worker and a most likeable chap, we feel sure that success awaits Jameson wherever he decides to exercise his talents.

JOHN E JENKINS, DANVILLE, PA.

"Large-brained, clear-eyed—of such as he Shall Freedom's young apostles be."

We have heard of Danville, Va., which lies some­where in the southwestern part of the Old Dominion, but not until Jenkins came to Georgetown to study law did we know that the great Commonwealth of Penn­sylvania has a Danville, too. His course was inter­rupted by the war, but after twenty-three months' serv­ice overseas Jenkins, tried and true son of the Blue and Gray that he is, came back to Georgetown to com­plete his studies. He tells us that he will return next year for a post-graduate course.

"Nothing that is excellent can be wrought suddenly."

Droll, witty, perspicacious and with an inexhaustible fund of legal knowledge. . What more can be required to make a brilliant and able lawyer as well as a genial friend? He has shone in the classroom, and in the moot court he has given proof of his prowess as a trial lawyer. What less can be expected of such talent and attainments than success at the bar? Johnson has in view entering upon the practice of law in sunny Ala-liama. His many friends wish him the best of luck.

HARVEY R. JOHNSTON, WASHINGTON, D. C.

Law Journal Staff (3). "Ye Domesday Booke'' Staff.

"Exhausting thought, And hiving wisdom with each studious year."

We think Shakespeare had Harvey in mind when he wrote those great words: "Those friends thou hast and their adoption tried, grapple them to thy soul with hoops of steel." Harvey's future has been foretold by his successful application to his work, both in class and on the Law Journal, where he has served in the capacity of Note Editor. He has attained an enviable record in scholarship, and even the professors have recognized in him a future legal light by bestowing upon him the title of "Judge."

EDWARD A. JONES, A 0 *, OMAHA, NEB.

"Where law ends, tyranny begins."

"Ed" came to Georgetown from Creighton Univer­sity Law School. H e was able to absorb a large amount of legal knowledge during the two years he spent there, if his worthy recitations are to be taken as a criterion. When he decided to come East to Georgetown, though, he made a wise move, because after a year in our Uni­versity he is eligible to become a really great lawyer. If he adheres to his expressed intention of practicing law in Texas, that old Southern State is due for a de­cided revival in its legal talent.

HAROLD FRANCIS JONES, MILFORB, MASS,

"All the zvorld loves a lover."

It has certainly been a rare treat for us all to have as a member of our illustrious class this genial son of the old Bay State. But there are others to whom his stay in Washington has been equally an ecstacy. They cannot, however, be counted as classmates, our school still remaining outside the ranks of co-educational in­stitutions. W e must add that the fair sex has not in­terfered with Harold's excellent work as a student, for he has demonstrated to our entire satisfaction that he has acquired a knowledge of the law which will stand him in good stead when he begins to practice his profession.

JOSEPH THOMAS KEATING, SAG H.\RBOR, N . Y.

Senior Debating Society. Junior Deliating Society.

"The mildest manners, and the gentlest heart."

"Joe'' is one ol our youngest members, but this has in no wise prevented him from acquiring a knowledge of the law that would be a credit to his older class­mates. Quiet, earnest and ambitious, he has made an impression upon all who know him that will not lie easily eradicated in the years to come. The same faith­ful application to stud}' which has characterized his course at Georgetown will certainly mark his career as a lawyer, and the inevitable result will be a successful and prosperous practice.

MARTIN J. KEEFE, WATERBURY, CONN.

"/ dare do all that may become a man."

"Shorty" hailed from the good old Nutmeg State, and, like all his brethren from Connecticut, fell in line and l)ecame a real Georgetown man at an early date, overcoming the handicap of having come from a small town. During his residence in the District, Keefe has been popular not only with his associates at George­town, but with the female element of Washington as well. The field of his future endeavors is still a matter of speculation, but it is probable that he will practice his profession in his native Waterbury. W e send him off with a unanimous vote of confidence in his ability to succeed wherever he may launch upon his career as a lawyer.

"When beauty fires the hloid, hozv love exalts the mind!"

"Jimmie," always good-natured and cheerful, joined our class this year. Originally of the Class of 1919, he laid aside his books for fifteen months to join Uncle Sam's Army, and after his little holiday came back for the last lap at Georgetown with a determination to master the intricacies of the law. Kehoe speaks little, but says much. He won't admit it, but we know the secret of his success—his wife. Good luck, "Jimmie," and remember that we shall be interested spectators of your career!

HARRY L. KELLY, A.B., OKLAHOMA CITY, OKLA.

"And silence is their language."

After obtaining an honored A.B., Harry decided to extend his learning by taking a course in law, and quite naturally selected Georgetown for that purpose. His is a quiet disposition, and, though he has little to say, there is usually much in what he says, as has been re­peatedly demonstrated when he has l)een called upon in recitations. He has been a faithful attendant at all lectures and quizzes, and as a result has earned a repu­tation for earnestness and ability as a student. Upon leaving Georgetown Harry plans to return to his native city and there embark upon his career as an attorney. The Oklahoma bar will find in him a worthy exponent of the law.

JOSEPH REANEY KELLY, WASHINGTON, D, C.

Secretary, '16, Smoker Committee (3). "Wise to resolve, and patient to perform."

In a class abounding in men of the highest caliber, it would be manifestly impossible to single out any one who stood out pre-eminently among his fellows, but certain it is that no member of the Class of 1920 is more worthy of our esteem than "Joe." Originally of the Class of 1918, he joined our ranks after serving in France as a first lieutenant in the Air Service. He is already a registered patent attorney, and has been prac­ticing in the District for several years. W e know that in "Joe" Georgetown has a son worthy of her best traditions.

WALTER P. KENNEDY, LOGANSPORT, IND,

Smoker Committee (3).

"Truth is as impossible to be soiled by any outward touch as the sunbeam."

Attorney, if you please—a title which very few law-school students possess, Walter was admitted to the bar of the State of Indiana soon after his enrollment at Georgetown, and his recitations have demonstrated that he has a knowledge of the law which entitles his opinions to our profound respect. It is Walter's inten­tion to practice in Illinois, probably Chicago, and we are not at all unwarranted in assuming that he will rise to prominence among the adherents of the legal pro­fession of that State, That such may be the case is the heartv wish of his classmates.

CLARENCE H. KENNERLY, PALATKA, FLA,

"His academic battles now are zvon,. His gallant march of triumph but begun."

The star politician of his class—a man of strong con­victions—a versatile and entertaining witness in prac­tice court—a good fellow and a good student, is Ken-nerly. It is said that he expects to practice law among the Seminoles of the Everglades. Good luck to them, one and all! In addition to his many good points as a gentleman and a scholar, he is also an ardent motor­ist Clarence has the makings of a successful lawyer, financier or politician. H e combines all the qualifica­tions necessary for a successful career, and in addition looks "like a million dollars."

"True as the dial to the sun."

A bright little spot in the legal firmament will shine forth with ever-increasing luster when Vincent hangs the shingle of our profession over the heads of N e w York City's unsuspecting public, for that is his ulti­mate goal. And N e w York's colonial hospitality will stretch forth its arms in greeting, for his sunny dis­position and pleasant smile, together with his grasp of the legal science, will bring forth a flood of clients to his office. H e can rest assured that he leaves an agree­able and pleasing memory with all of us.

N. SEWALL KEY, 0 A A, BALTIMORE, MD.

Prom Committee (2), Smoker Committee (3), Sphinx Club, Senior Debating Society. "/'// speak to thee in silence." •

A quiet, unassuming gentleman. Key talks but little of himself, yet we know him to be a jolly good fellow and an excellent student, bubbling over with legal knowledge. From the beginning he has taken an active part in class affairs, serving with credit on the commit­tees to which he has been appointed. H e is one of the politicians who get results, and is likewise the "key" to his own success, which is assured. Good luck, old man! Remember that the best wishes of your class­mates will ever be with you !

JOHN C. KING, LIBERAL, KAN.

"This knowing scholar."

For three years John has been with us at Georgetown, and for three years we have known him and valued the quality of his friendship. Deadly in earnest about his study of the law, he has put to shame those of us inclined to frivol away the golden minutes in the class­room, and by his example he has spurred us unto new efforts. A look into the crystal of the future convinces us that some, day this quiet follower of Blackstone and Coke will make it known in no uncertain terms that he is more than a master of his profession. If he doesn't, it won't be because he lacks the good wishes of his fellows.

He expects to enter the profession through^ the port of New York, and with his affable disposition and present knowledge of Naturalization Law he should experience no difficulty in amassing a profitable clientele in the "big city." Go to it, Chaun-cey; we're with you !

PAUL S. KREMER, WINCHESTER, VA.

"The noblest mind the best contentment has."

After slightly more than two years at the University of Virginia, Paul hied himself to Georgetown in order that he might there build upon an already excellent educational foundation a suitable legal structure; and that he has been doing. During his entire course, pru­dent fellow that he is, he has been assiduously preparing himself for the day when he will hang forth his shingle in the city, so we understand, of Chicago, in Illinois. Success will delight to follow him in the days and years to come.

GEORGE A. KROGMANN, WASHINGTON, D. C.

Sphinx Club.

"Chance generally favors the prudent."

George is one of the "Old Guard" of the Class of 1919. He forgot all about Real Property, Common Law Pleading and the law generally long enough to serve as an ordnance sergeant. However, George must have stored up a tremendous knowdedge of the law before he left, for he came back with his old-time mas­tery of knotty questions. For about a week after his return he kept from us a dark secret—then he proudly announced that he had joined the benedicts. Good luck to you, George ! Our best wishes follow you, and we feel sure that success awaits you.

EDWIN LEROY LAYTON, L.\WRENCE, S, C.

"/ Speak only when )iecessary."

Layton is another of that type, so prevalent in the Class of 1920, which speaks very little and thinks very much. "Ed" is a serious-minded young man who came to Georgetown to learn the law, and that he has accom­plished his object cannot be gainsaid. W e cannot but admire his constancy of purpose, and his many friends in the class unite in wishing him unbounded success in his practice. While he has had little to say during his course at Georgetown, we are confident that we shall hear from him later on.

EDWIN A. LEVERE, 0 A A, N E W H.WEN, CONN,

"To lengthen to the last a sunny mood."

''Eddie," when the war interrupted his school career, would a flyer be, and in pursuance of this intention hied himself to an Air Service School, The armistice, however, interfered with his plans to drop prize-pack­ages on Berlin and other German cities of note, so he returned to the prosaic study of the law in time to be­come a member of the Class of 1920. Though few suspect it, "Ed" is an earnest student, and he often amazes with profound opinions on legal subjects. W e rejoice in the acquisition of such a man, for he will do the class and the school honor—any more than which cannot be asked.

"Ye Domesday Booke" Staff, "In his little body lodged a mighty mind."

Licker is one of the most popular men in the class, not only by virtue of his striking name, but also be­cause of his winning personality and keen intellect. W h o is there among us who hasn't felt the warmth of his greeting and basked in the sunshine of his smile? H e lirought with him also from his home State in the North an eloquent tongue, which he has used with con­siderable effectiveness. His record as a student augurs well for his success at the bar, and the class is firmly of the opinion that in the practice of his profession Licker will rise far above the level of mediocrity.

"Whose high endeavors are an inward light That make the path before him always bright."

This quiet and unassuming gentleman joined the Class of 1920 this year. Originally of the Class of 1919, "Billy" left his study of the law to answer his country's call—one of the first, be it known—entering the Navy and rising to the rank of ensign. "Bill" is a rare good chap, and his soundness of character and unselfishness of spirit ha\e attracted to him a wide circle of friends by w h o m he cannot fail to be missed. After another year at Georgetown, acquiring the finish­ing touches of his legal training, "Bill" expects to prac­tice in Louisiana, whither the fondest wishes of his associates will follow him,

RUSSELL N. LOW, A X, WASHINGTON, D. C.

"Who can apply the law to facts Is not in legal knozvledge lax."

"Tick" has the enviable distinction of having been associated with the legal science for the past ten years right in the city of Washington. H e knows Patent L a w from start to finish—he admits it—and as a con­sequence his path after he leaves our fold will be strewn with roses. If clients search in vain for him some balmy summer day, they may, perchance, find that the lure of the woods has cast its spell over the object of their search, for he combines a love of the out-of-doors with a natural aptitude for the law. His never-failing good-nature and firm demeanor will carry him to the top of his profession.

HARRY H. LYNCH, WASHINGTON, D, C,

"The gladsome light of jurisprudence."

Whenever a man goes to Georgetown Law School and really studies the law, you can bet all your money that he will be a lawyer when he graduates. It is not hard to see a brilliant future for Harry when he really gets started in the practice of the law. He intends to stay right here in his home town and invite his fellow-citizens to enjoy the benefits of his legal knowledge. The District of Columbia bar will find him a worthy acquisition.

WILLIAM STEWART LYONS, WASHINGTON, D. C.

"Confidence is a plant of slow growth."

Tall and handsome is "Bill," an ideal "lady's man" and also a strong and vigorous "man's man." He has been employed by a banking corporation for eight years, and when he goes out into the cold, cruel world to prac­tice law, his practical banking experience should assist him in accumulating a fine, large fortune and in keep­ing it after he has it stored away. "Bill" will make a lawyer who will always be a credit to the profession and to our Alma Mater. He will be a welcome addi­tion to the begal talent in the District of Columbia.

WILLIAM C. McCABE, N E W HAVEN, CONN.

"A man makes no noise over a good deed, but passes on to another."

After an interruption of some twenty months in his law course, all of which time was spent in France as a first lieutenant in the Air Service, "Bill" returned to George­town to complete his studies. Handsome and clever is "Bill," and these qualifications, combined with the French polish which he acquired while "teaing" with the mademoiselles, make him an idol among the fair sex in Washington. His ability as a student is marked, and we have no fear that he will suffer b}- comparison with the legal lights of the jurisdiction in which he finally decides to practice his profession. You have our best wishes, "Bill."

CORNELIUS FRANCIS McCARTHY DORCHESTER, M A S S .

Senior Debating Society, Massachusetts Club,

"Whoe'er excels i^i what we prize. Appears a hero in our eyes."

Perhaps no member of our class has done more to add to the fame of his Alma Mater than "Mac." For three years he played tackle on the 'Varsity football team. When the war broke out he was one of the first to enter the Officers' Training Camp at Fort Myer, Va., and was commissioned in August, 1917, He joined us during our Junior year, and quickly convinced us that he was a student as well as an athlete and a sol­dier. W e predict a very successful career for "Mac" when he returns to Massachusetts and enters upon the practice of his chosen profession.

HUGH c. MCCARTHY, HELENA, MONT.

Prom Committee (3). Senior Debating Society.

"Somewhat belated, he came from the W'est, but we welcomed him into our midst."

Hugh's only object in coming to Georgetown seems to have been to enable him to follow Horace Greeley's advice and "go West," for one is not left in doubt as to where he is going when he is handed his sheepskin. W e have tried to persuade him that F street is seldom "shot up," and, though we have succeeded in getting him to leave his guns at home, we cannot separate him from his famous hat. "Mac" went down to Mexico last summer for the State Department, but, strange to say, Carranza still is annoying; we don't understand it.

JACK MCCARTHY, A e 0, WATERBURY. CONN.

Connecticut Club.

"His mind, his kingdom; his will, his law."

After sixteen months overseas as a first lieutenant in the Aviation Corps, Jack returned to Georgetown, joining the Class of 1920. He is one of those versatile chaps who are at home anywhere, whether it be in the classroom, the drawing-room, the ballroom or in the air. W e might add that he is an authority on many subjects, especially on rating the fair sex. May good fortune attend all your ventures. Jack! And you may be sure that the best wishes of Georgetown will be with you when you open your office in the Lone Star State.

CLIFFORD CALDWELL McCORMICK, BURLINGTON, N. J.

"Not less for him his household light That others share its shining."

We always recall McCormick as an earnest, extremely attentive student of legal jurisprudence, sitting in class with an eyeshade adorning his forehead to soften the glare of the Edison incandescents. During the war "Mac" served as a sergeant in the Air Service for more than a year. Of course, he intends to return to Bur­lington to practice his profession. A certain evasive answer to a certain direct question has given rise to the presumption that "Mac" has recently become a benedict. As yet this presumption has not been rebutted.

CHARLES R. McCOY, VX'ASHINGTON, D. C.

"Ambition is the germ from zvhich all growth of noble­ness proceeds."

Serious and ambitious is "Mac," yet manifesting at all times a full appreciation of the ludicrous. The re­sponsibilities of married life have not prevented his acquiring a generous knowledge of the law by his faith­ful application to his books. His record among us is a good one, and we know that when he enters the legal field in the District he will command the respect of his brother attorneys, just as he has won the esteem of his many friends at Georgetown,

JOSEPH R. McCUEN, <b A A, WEST HAVEN, CONN.

"Fill the cup and let it come, I'll pledge you smiles to the bottom."

"Mac" came to us with all the prestige that Yale and the city of New Haven could give him. and none of it has been lost. During the war he was the proud possessor of a captain's commission in the United States Army. Always the wearer of a sunny smile, he has a wide circle of friends, which is the best proof of the high esteem in which he is held. Through his training on Capitol Hill he is fast developing into a clever poli­tician, and we shall hear more of him. His sterling character and acknowledged ability insure his success.

EDWARD F. McELROY, FiTCHBURG, M A S S .

"lllwse zvords all ears took captive."

"Mac," from his picture (gray hair and all that), looks as though he might be the daddy of the class, but his spirit is as young as that of the youngest of us, and as a lawyer he has the majority of us tied to a post —which may or may not speak volumes for his ability. Anyhow, "Mac" is going back to Massachusetts, we suppose, when he lands his LL.B., and Dame Rumor has it that upon his arrival he is going to be presented with the State House as a slight token of the high es­teem in which he is held by his compatriots. He de­serves it, we'll say!

JOHN J. McGRANE, PROVIDENCE, R. I.

Carroll Law Club, (Chancellor) Snmker Committee, Chairman, '17 Junior Debating Society, Vice-President. '17. "Steadfast zvas his friendship, his word as true as gold."

McGrane is the pride and joy of Providence, and we must needs deal with great respect with so distinguished a personage. W e take leave of "Jack" with sincere regret. He is what the fellows would commonly term a "prince." W e do not predict his future success; we need not. It must follow as naturally and inevitably as night follows day. His type is a rarity, and his eminent characteristics cannot do otherwise than beget prosperity and good fortune. So long, "Jack" ; our best wishes will accompany you all through the coming battle for legal prominence.

HUGH JOSEPH McGRATH, BROCKTON, MASS.

Prom Committte, '17 and '18,

"A truer, nobler, trustier heart Never beat within a human breast."

"Mac" entered Georgetown with the Class of 1919, but left at the end of his Junior year to enter the serv­ice of his country and do his share toward removing "Kaiser Bill" from his throne, ,A.fter the cessation of hostilities he decided to return to Georgetown and con­tinue his quest for legal knowledge. Before returning, however, he joined the benedicts. It has been a real pleasure to have ''Mac" with us during our Senior year, and w-e wish him the best of success when he embarks upon the practice of his profession.

"Stern men with empires in tlieir brains"

McKenna, whose studies at the Law School were in­terrupted some years ago, brought back knowledge ac­quired in interesting and highly important work per­formed for the Government in various positions of trust—among others, that of captain with the A, E, F, "Jimmy" has now mixed with his Boston accent twangs of Mexican, Russian, Japanese, Chinese and Bolsheviki, collected in as many foreign countries. He was not long in making his presence known in his new class, and his dignified carriage and winning smile have gained many friends. "Jimmy", keen and thorough student that he is, can only be outdone by reference to a certain missing hirsute adornment.

Prom Committee (3), Junior Debating Society, Smoker Committee (3), Rhode Island Club Senior Debating Society, "Ye Domesday Booke" Staff. "Knowledge is the only fountain both of the love and

the principles of human liberty."

"Mac'' is a regular "go-get-'em" fellow, and usually accomplishes what he sets out to do. This trait in his make-up finds a splendid illustration in the enviable record which he has made in his study of the law, for "Mac" is one of our ablest students and is .going to reflect credit upon the Class of 1920 when he takes his place among the lawyers of his native State. Al­though _ somewhat stern and austere in appearance, "Jim" is_ the personification of good-nature, and his affable disposition has contributed in no small degree to his popularity among his classmates. Good luck to you, "Mac!"

T. EDWARD McNAMARA, A 6 0, PORTSMOUTH, OHIO,

I'rom Committee (2), Sphinx Club, "Ye Domesday Booke" Staff,

"He is a little man with big ideas."

"Mac" belongs to the Short Men's League, but he is big of heart and has found an abiding place in the affections of his classmates. Well versed in business affairs, we expect to see "Mac" at the head of some large corporation, for his executive ability is too well known not to be soon utilized. When he takes to ex­pounding the law out in Portsmouth we feel confident that he will prove himself a worthy son of our Alma Mater, and that, despite his rather diminutive stature, he will measure up mentally to any of his brothers of the bar.

"Ye Domesday Booke" Staff, "The stirring sentences he spake

Compelled the heart to glow or quake."

Since entering Georgetown "Ed" has at all times taken a very keen interest in debating and public speak­ing, and has also proved himself to be considerable of a politician. These two assets, together with his knowl­edge of the law, convince us that he will be a factor to be reckoned with when he returns to the Nutmeg State, where we look for him to take an active part in the revision and interpretation of her famous Blue Laws. It appears that the law has not received Maher's undivided attention, however, during the past three years, for it is rumored that when he returns to his native State he will not return alone.

"Talk to him of Jacob's ladder, and he would ask tlie number of steps."

"Matty" came to Georgetown from Ansonia—which is in Connecticut, via New York and other Eastern points—and his three years at Georgetown have not, to say the least, been wasted. Possessing a naturally keen wit, his course in law has served to sharpen it to the extent that he leaves us amply prepared to acquit himself with honor before the bar of justice in any State in the Union. May good luck ever attend this red­headed adherent of the law, say we!

Carroll Law Club.

"It must be so—thou reasonest well"

Coming from the City of Brotherly Love, "Ed" has proved himself one of the most popular members of the class. His pleasing personality has enabled him to build up a lasting friendship with everyone with whom he has come in contact. His ability to make friends is not his only asset, however, for many times have we marveled at the logical conclusions of law which he has evolved from seemingly impossible statements of facts. He has avowed his intention of practicing law in New York City, and we have no hesitancy in saying that he will not be long in bringing fame unto himself and his Alma Mater.

ARTHUR JAMES MAYS, SALT L.AKE CITY, UTAH.

"There is nothing so powerful as truth."

From the "salty city" and with "pep" galore. Surely this is a combination that is hard to beat. Mays is possessed of an abundance of school spirit, and is the last word in politics. As congenial a man as one would care to meet, he has succeeded in making a great num­ber of friends during his course at Georgetown. W e expect Mays to accomplish big things in his home State, and we have not the slightest reason to doubt that the same success which has attended his career as a student will likewise crown his career as a practicing attorney.

SAUL MAURICE MELTZER, N E W YORK, N. Y.

Prom Conunittee (2) (3), Smoker Conunittee (2) (3).

".Sufficient to. have stood, though free to fall."

.\lways ready to serve, Meltzer has indeed been a great help in putting class affairs "over." He has also been a faithful student, and on more than one occasion has he won the admiration of his fellows b}' his ability to unravel complicated cases and apply thereto the sound principles of the law. W e feel sure that it will not be long before Saul will be heard from in the New York legal world. It is our sincere wish that he may reach the very pinnacle of success.

IRVIN G. MENIKHEIM, MoOREFIELD, W. VA.

"But now my task is smoothly done, I can fly, or I can run."

Irvin was originally a member of the Class of 1918, but as a result of joining the Army he was unable to finish his Senior year with that class. Upon receiving his discharge from the service he returned to George­town to complete his course and get his LL.B. He does not expect to take a post-graduate course, inasmuch as about five years have already elapsed since he started out to acquire his sheepskin, and Irvin is anxious to demonstrate to the outside world his ability as a lawj'er. It is his intention to go to the Pacific Coast and prac­tice in Los Angeles, where we earnestly hope success awaits him.

IRVING H. MIRON, PUTNAM, CONN.

Hamilton Law Club, Connecticut Club.

"So much one man can do That does both act and know."

Irving has a decided start on most of us, for when he entered our class in 1919 he was already a member of the bar of his native State. However, he wanted an LL.B., and naturally decided to come to George­town to get it. His year with us has shown that he is both a good student and a loyal friend. It is his inten­tion to return to Putnam after receiving his degree and resume his practice. Success will be his we all feel sure.

BROOKE MOHUN, A.M., SAN FRANCISCO, CAL,

"Learn, nor account the pang: dare, never grudge the throe."

Mohun hails from the Pacific Coast. He is another of the many sons of Georgetown whose courses were interrupted by the war. Having been discharged from the Army too late to graduate with the Class of 1919, he was required to be with us for only a few months this year. During that short time, however, we had. ample opportunity to realize his merits as a student and as a man; and the best wishes of the class will ac­company him to his native State, where he expects to practice.

FRANCIS JOSEPH MORGAN, A.M., DOVER, N . H .

"Ye Domesday Booke" Staff,

"Tomorrow to fresh woods and pastures nezv."

"Cy," as he is known to some of us, joined the class in December, 1918, after his discharge from the Naval Aviation School at Cambridge, Mass. His first year of legal training was spent at Catholic University, but he decided after obtaining two degrees from that insti­tution to take his law degree from Georgetown. Mor­gan is an American through and through, and a staunch supporter of Hiram Johnson for the Presidency. He is very partial to the Law of Corporations, and expects to do post-graduate work in that subject at Columbia University.

LEO W. MORRISSEY, A 6 0, WASHLNGTON, D. C.

"Mastering the lazvlcss science of our law."

The character of its graduates is the true criterion by which the University is judged, and the school is warranted in feeling unbounded gratification in gradu­ating men of the type of Leo AJorrissey. The hallowed precincts of F'ordham ushered him into the sphere of legal culture, and a fortunate chain of wartime epi­sodes has allowed him to receive his sheepskin with the Class of 1920. Of calm and even demeanor, Mor­rissey exhibits the qualities which should make for suc­cess as a lawyer, and in a few years from now he will surely be seen enjoying the fruits of a remunerative practice at the bar.

WILLIAM H. MULLIGAN, PAWTUCKET, R. I.

Smoker Conunittee (3|, Vice-President, '16.

"He early gained the power to pay His cheerful, self-reliant way."

In Mulligan we present a full-fledged, registered pat­ent attorney with record of same on file in the United States Patent Oflice, It would not surprise us in the least if Mulligan, with true Celtic grit and ability, would fight his way to_ the top of the profession in the Dis­trict of Columbia, where he purposes to remain and acquire fame, "Bill" has not yet forsaken the state of single blessedness. W e have no doubt, however, that he will join the Society of Matrimoniacs whenever in his_ own mature judgment the opportune moment arrives.

BURKETT D. MURPHY, FAYETTEVILLE, GA.

"Whose armor is his honest tliought."

With the name, heart and ability of a native of the Emerald Isle, this son of the South is a worthy repre­sentative of the State whose motto is: "Wisdom, Jus­tice, Moderation." Ready of wit, convincing in argu­ment and with an abundance of stories, he has won for himself a high place in the estimation of his fel­lows. _ Already he has had considerable preliminary experience in the law, and we predict for him a success­ful career at the bar.

CHLIDE NELMS. SPRINGFIELD, III.

Smoker Committee (2) (3).

"Thou art the man."

Of all the men of the Class of 1920, there is no one more endeared to his classmates than Chlide. The rea­sons for this are his abundance of good nature, his marked unselfishness and his sound knowledge of the law. Many times when we were almost hopelessly per­plexed by difficult legal questions have we called upon him for help—and he has never failed us. In later life we shall look back with pleasure upon our association with Nelms. W e are confident that it will be only a short time before he takes his place among the foremost lawyers of Illinois.

RAYMOND NEUDECKER, MANCHESTER, TE.XN.

"A zvise man is strong; yea, a man of knozvledge increaseth strength."

"Ray"—one of our younger benedicts—came to us from George Peabody College. During his stay at Georgetown he has commanded the respect and admira­tion of all of us, not only because he is a good student, but also because he is a good friend. During the war he was one of Uncle Sam's first-class petty officers. Not once has he missed a trial in the moot court, and it will give us all great pleasure to hear in the near future that "Ray" has risen to prominence in his native State as a trial lawyer.

FRED J. NEULAND, A.B., 0 A A, WASHINGTON, D. C.

Prom Committee (3), Sergeant-at-Arms, '15

"This is grand! 'tis solemn! 'tis an education of itself to look upon!"

Originally of the Class of 1917, "Freddie" returned to the Law School after eighteen months with the Army overseas to take his degree with the Class of 1920— and we are proud to have him with us. Abundantly good-natured, and as good a student as any, "Fritz" leaves these halls of learning with our best wishes for a successful career. Our hopes for him are high, and surely Destiny will not cheat us of the satisfaction which will come with their fulfilment.

EDWARD F. NEW, 0 A A, CHICAGO, III.

Vice-President (2), Prom Conmiittee (2|, Smoker Committee (2).

"Tlie noblest contribution zvhich any man can make for the benefit of posterity is that of a good character."

"Ed" came to us from good old "Chi," l)ut contem­plates expounding his legal theories in Tulsa, Okla, IJuring his association with us he has shown that he has a decided leaning toward politics, and it would not surprise us in the least to hear in the course of a few years that he had been elected to a seat in Congress, He has been a congenial companion, and w'e can vouch for his ability to unravel intricate legal tangles. Throughout your career at the bar, "Ed," be assured that you have the best wishes of your Georgetown associates.

JAMES E. NORRIS, BROOKLINE, MASS,

Massachusetts Club.

"The steady force of will whereby His flexible grace seems sweeter."

This tall, clean-cut fellow from the State of Webster, Chief Justice Shaw, and "pie for breakfast," had hi> studies interrupted by the war, but wdth that smooth, ])usiness-like persistency, characteristic of so many Georgetown men who left their callings to serve their country, Norris returned to us to complete his studies. It is not too much to say that in the not distant future he will shed luster upon the pretty New England town from which he comes by- rising to splendid heights in his chosen profession. May success crown his every eft'ort!

JOHN C. NORTH, EASTON, MD,

Smoker Committee (2).

"And he must follow his natural bent, even as ym and I."

His name is North, but Easton is his home town. An aggressive and persistent student of the law, he is cer­tain to succeed. North has been a good friend and a true companion. Already' he has been admitted to the Maryland liar, and he expects to take up the practice of law in that State. Georgetown is proud of you, North, and your classmates will be pleased to hear of 3'our early success. Your record at Georgetown augurs well for your attaining a high standing in th; legal profession.

ALVA G. NYE, BUFFALO, N. Y,

Smoker Committee |3). Senior Debating Society.

"Slow to resolve, but in performance quick."

An earnest student of the law, but one who privately adheres to the belief that Izaak Walton contributed more to the joy of living than did Blackstone. H e is one of the big men of the class—big in body, big in endeavor and big in heart—a man who stands four­square among men. A K a is an ardent advocate of the "square deal," and has always proved hirnself entirely worthy of the confidence of his classmates.

FRANK D. O'CONNELL, WASHINGTON, D. C.

"ll'hose yesterdays look backward with a smile."

Frank is a native of the District of Columbia. We have known him only a year, for his law course was in­terrupted by the war, during which he served overseas for eighteen months in the Motor Transport Corps, and it is because of this interruption that he is now a member of our illustrious class. Frank is of a serious turn of mind and attends strictly to business, but he-has nevertheless succeeded in making a large number of friends. If he adheres to his present intention of practicing patent law in the District, there is every indi­cation that his name will at no distant date be listed among the authorities in that branch of legal juris­prudence.

HAROLD A. O'CONNELL, BUFFALO, N. Y.

"Persuasion tips his tongue whene'er he talks."

Among the many fine fellows whose membership in our class is to be accounted for by the fact that the war prevented their graduation on scheduled time is this genial son of the Empire State. Harold earned the admiration and respect of all his fellows by his cour­teous manner and affable disposition, to say nothing' of his ability to expound the sound principles of the law. His time at Georgetown has indeed been well spent, and the day is not far off when we shall hear of his making rapid strides on the road to fame in his native State. O'Connell intends to practice in N e w York City, and this fact in itself argues much for his aggressiveness.

Sphinx Club.

"A ready wit tempered with grace and good disposition."

"Bill" has been popular among his classmates. His loyalty and constant good nature make him an ever-welcome companion. His social virtues, however, have been well balanced by his application to his studies. Ever ready to join in any progressive undertaking, he has won a place in the heart of every man. And of this we are sure: when " Bill " leaves the portals of George­town the characteristics which have enabled him to win his way among us will gain him a place in the foremost ranks of the battle-line in the sterner struggle that lies before us.

JOHN J. O'DAY, JR., A.M., WASHINGTON^ D. C.

Prom Committee, Chairman, '17, Senior Debating Society, Carroll Law Club, Winner, Prize Debate, '17,

University Debating Team. '17, "Your silver tongue zvith oily words preside.

And make the weaker seem tlie stronger side."

'U'ncle Joe" has nothing on O'Day when it comes to presiding over an angry mob^unless it be a cigar. A glance above will show^ that he is a renowned debater. \\'e can testify to the fact that his fluent tongue and impelling logic often sway many a contrary mind. "Johnny," like a goodly number of us, joined the Class of 1920 in the Senior year. Originally he was a mem­ber of 1918. His studies were interrupted by the war, but as soon as the war had been won, he returned to take up the battle of the law. Knowing him as we do, we foretell that here, too, he will be a winner.

DANIEL J. C. O'DONNELL, A X, PHOENIXVILLE, PA.

"His language is luminous, but not voluminous."

Take off your hats to him, gentlemen—he sniffed the smoke of the battlefields of France for over a year and returned unscathed to take up the "arduous" duties of a Senior at Georgetown, none the worse for his sojourn in France. "Connie" is a typical gentleman, well liked by all who have come in contact with him. Whatever may be his future lines of endeavor, the scholarship he has exhibited at Georgetown will carry him ''over the top" with flying colors.

m JOSEPH C. O'MAHONEY,

CHEYENNE, WYO. i'resident (31, .Tunior Debating Society, Prom Committee (1) (2). Winner, Prize Debate (2), Senicu- Debating Society, Law Journal Staff (3).

Smoker Committee, Chairman, (1) (2), "He zvas the noblest Roman of them all."

O'Mahoney, an Easterner by birth, went West and broke into the newspaper game, becoming managing editor of the Cheyenne State Leader. In 1916 he cam­paigned Wyoming for the Democratic candidates, and came to Washington as Secretary to a United States Senator, His sterling character, his prominence in student activities and his all-round good-fellowship have combined to make him one of the most popular and influential students in the L a w School, "Joe" ex­pects to take up the practice of law in Cheyenne, and thither the benediction of his Alma Mater and his classmates will surely follow him.

JOHN E. O'NEILL, BUTTE, MONT.

Secretary (31, Senior liel'ating Society, Prom Committee (2), Winner, Prize IJebate (3), Smoker Committee (3), Junior Debating Society, "Goi>d actions crozvn themselves with lasting bays; Who zvell deserves, needs not another's praise." From the rugged West came O'Neill to imbibe knowl­

edge of the law at the institution which has gained fame far and wide. But the benefits were to be by no means unilateral. H e brought with him an oratorical ability that is little short of marvelous, especially in one of such tender 3'outh, and we may justly be proud of him. In him are combined the logic of Burke, the force of Webster and the silver tongue of Bryan. Withal he is modest and unassuming. It is his inten­tion to practice law in romantic Butte.

VITALE HENRY PAGANELLI, HojiOKEN, N. J.

Prcun Committee (1) (2t (3l, Smoker Committee (2), Sphinx Club.

"Genius when young is divine."

"Pag" is one of our youngest memlicrs, and has gained the friendship of everyone with w h o m he has come in contact. The ease with which he has answered the most difficult questions hurled at him in the quiz classes has been a marvel to us all. His omnipresent smile and agreeable personality, to say nothing of his musical attainments, combine to make him a success socially as well at intellectually. After another year at Georgetown Henry intends to display his talents to the inhabitants of N e w York City, but as yet has not de­cided whether his office will be located in the Metro­politan Tower or in the Woolworth Building.

WALTER J. PATRI, OSHKOSH, WIS,

"And the best of me is diligence."

Patri is one of the bright lights of the class, and we know he will make a success of the law in Oshkosh, His ambition is to become wealthy and retire to the Supreme Bench, but we must remind him that the say­ing, as it comes to us, is that "lawyers live well, but die poor," Wisconsin has room for good men, especially Georgetown men, but we predict that some day Patri will return to the Capital City, not as a student, but as one who has made him mark as a staunch defender of right and justice. Whatever be your ultimate goal, Patri, know that your classmates wish you a successful career.

WILLIAM PATTISON, VN'ASHINGTON, D, C.

"And, through the heat of conflict, keeps the law In calmness made."

Wc predict that the world will read, in the not distant future, of the success of this son of the Blue and Gray. Pattison is already accomplishing big things, and if what he is doing now be any criterion of what he will accomplish in later life, there is no doubt that he will attain the goal toward which he is striving. Your friends, Pattison, will take pride in reading of your success, and wherever Fortune may lead you, remember that both your Alma Mater and your classmates wish you well.

CHARLES E. PENDLETON, STORM LAKE, IOWA.

Senior Debating Society, Junior Debating Society. Iowa Society.

"Our greatest ghry consists, not in never falling, but in rising ez.'ery time we fall."

One of the topnotchers of the class, and a fighter of the first quality. He himself confesses he does not know when he is beaten. And we will have to doff' our hats to the man who can better Pendleton, either in debate or in the argument of legal questions. He has devoted himself most sedulously to the pursuit of both subjects with results that presage a brilliant future, Pendleton plans to return to his native Iowa and en­gage in the practice of the law in the city of Fort Dodge, May good fortune speed his success!

JOHN LeROY PETERSON, J X, COUNCIL BLUFFS, IOWA,

Carroll Law Club, Iowa Law Club (Vice-President), "Ye Domesday Booke" Staff.

"If honor calls, zvhere'er she points the way The so)is of honor follow, and obey."

A thorough gentleman is Peterson—good to look at, but withal a student, and one who can look back upon his scholastic career with the satisfaction which cornes from having utilized to the utmost those opportunities that knock but once. The war picked him up from the shadow of the Capitol's dome and dropped him with a silver bar on each shoulder into a maelstrom of ad­venture and experience in France and Sunny Italy. H e is filled to the brim with ambition, and stands ready to take up the toga of his chosen profession when fickle Fortune waves her magic wand.

FRANCIS P A U L PETROTT, F H F, WATERBURY, CONN.

"But he's a tried and valiant soldier."

That the State of Connecicut is about to open its doors to a shining light in the person of Petrott there is little, if any, doubt. H e came to us this year after flying for Uncle S a m in the recent struggle for democ­racy. Quick of wit, cool-headed and ambitious, he is bound to forge to the front in the long, long race ahead of us. His classmates will note his success with pleas­ure, for one meets not with a fellow like "Pete'' every day.

"Fiddle and I."

Steadily up the ladder leading to fame and fortune we find Phillips climbing with care and discretion, al­ways absorbed in study and dependable as a moving spirit in class functions. As director of the class or­chestra he has helped to soothe our savage breasts. Homer expects to practice law in Jersey City after completing a post-graduate course. Until then his secretarial duties "on the hill" will keep him fortified for the well-merited good wishes of his classmates for his future success.

SAMUEL H. PLATCOW, 0 A, N E W HAVEN, CONN.

"The glory of a firm, capacious mind."

A big mind and a big heart are "Sam's" greatest assets. The world cannot but admire a man possessed of such constancy of purpose as he has displayed. He s not only a deeper thinker, but an energetic worker as well, and has taken an active part in Georgetown af­fairs. His personality cannot fail to win friends in the future as it has in the past; and who knows but that it may, perchance, hypnotize juries when "Sam" pleads his causes at the bar of justice?

WALTER C. POPE, A 6 0, MoNTICELLO, A R K .

Prom Committee (3), Hamilton Law Club.

"That which comes after ever conforms to that which has gone before."

A Southern gentleman from the drop of the hat is Pope. Clean cut, conscientious and fair-minded, he is as fine a fellow as one would care to meet. His con­genial personality is evidenced by the great number of friends he has made during his stay at Georgetown, and this is an asset which is bound to bring him to the fore when he begins his career as a lawyer in St. Louis, Mo. W e expect that Pope will some day return to Washington as the representative of one of Missouri's Congressional districts. That the district would be well represented may be taken for granted.

DONALD T. POWELL, <t) A A, NORWALK, CONN.

Smoker Committee (3), Senior Debating Society, Hamilton Law Club, Connecticut Club,

"To act toniorrozv ivhat he learns today."

The always-affable "Don" springs from Connecticut, and if that wide-awake State were not already famous, we should feel disposed to say that he would speedily make her so. Be that as it may, however, he is bound to add, by his legal knowledge and ability, more and glorious leaves to the laurels of his mother State; if he does not, we shall be sorely disappointed—and "Don" is far too good-natured to disappoint anyone.

WILHELM C. PREUS, A.B., MINNEAPOLIS, MINN.

Vice-President. '16,

"His presence lends its zvarmlh and health To all who come before it."

Those of us who w^ere Freshmen back in the fall of 1915 rememl)er the coming to Georgetown of a digni­fied, white-haired and rather serious young man from one of the great Twin Cities of the Northwest. By his calm, ingratiating manner and his gentlemanly bear­ing, Preus has endeared himself to us all, and we have concluded that Webster must have suffered a "lapsus mentis" when, as is alleged, that distinguished states­man said that nothing worth while lies west of the Mississippi. During the war "Bill" served as assistant military attache at the American Legation in (Copen­hagen. H e is going back to his native Minneapolis to practice his profession. \

ROBERT H. PRITCHARD, F H F WASHINGTON, D. C.

"To serve is better than to be served."

"T^ob" knows a lot of things that he did not learn at Georgetown. His twenty months in Europe with Uncle Sam's camping party have given him a world of expe­rience. But let no one get the idea that he will not make an able lawyer, A fine personality and a keen intellect combine to indicate that he has chosen a pro­fession appropriate to his natural talents, "Bob," old man, we are prepared to rejoice with you in your cer­tain success, and have every reason to believe that you will prove yourself a son of w h o m Georgetown may well feel proud.

HENRY RABINOWITZ, N E W HAVEN, CONN.

Connecticut CIuli,

"Friends, Romans, Countrymen—lend me your ears!"

We have yet to find a quiz-master who can catch Rabinowitz napping. .Always ready with an answer, regardless of how involved the question might be, he has risen to his feet, delivered a clear, analytical state­ment of the issues, and taken his seat to the accompani­ment of the quiz-master's crediting him with a "10," H e possesses a keen intellect, and our association with him warrants the prediction that he will become one of the Nutmeg State's leading attorneys. Go to it, Rabinowitz ; we're for you !

SAMUEL RAPPAPORT, N E W YORK, N, Y,

"UJio comprehends his trust, and to the same f\eeps faithful zvith a singleness of aim."

Rappaport first came into prominence by being a proponent of prohibition. In all other respects, how­ever, "Sam" has a very sympathetic personality. This, coupled with his ready wit and keen intellect, makes him a most congenial companion and a man worth\- of admiration. He is well read, too; for did he not on one occasion almost convince Professor Boutell that geo­logical creation was not an emanation of the Omnipo­tent Deity, but rather the cumulative resultant of aeons of evolutionary phenomena? May good luck be with you, "Rapp!"

FRANCIS HENRY REID, WAKEFIELD, MASS,

"We possess zvithin our ozvn city an instance of merit as eminent as it is unobstrusive."

Reid is a native of the Commonwealth of Massachu­setts, so necessarily he has great traditions to live up to. Basing the statement upon our three years' con­tact with him, it is our opinion that he will add new-luster to the legal achievements of the Bay State when he enters the professional world if he exhibits the same diligence in his work that he has in his studies. Essen­tially of the type that "gets there," Reid is going out of Georgetown with a full knowledge of the law and a determination to make of that knowledge a stepping-stone to the heights. And he will do just that.

EDWARD M. REIDY. CAMBRIDGE, MASS.

Massachusetts club.

"'Tis not in mortals to command success; we'll deserve it."

Hailing from such a seat of learning as Cambridge, it is onh' natural that we should expect of "Ed" some sound and logical interpretations of the law; and he has not disappointed us, as his record at Georgetown will show. Although a quiet and unassuming cliap, he is one of those loyal good fellows who are ever ready and willing to lend a hand for the best interests of the class, regardless of personal sacrifice. W e predict a successful future for Reidy when he returns to the Bay State and enters upon his chosen profession.

JOHN RUSSELL RENOE, J X, PRESCOTT, ARIZ.

Prom ( onnnittee, '19, Varsity Track Team, '16, '17, 'IS and '19.

"From the Westzvard, zvhere the course of empire takes its zvay."

"Johnnie" hails from the wild and woolly State of Arizona, and is proud of it. H e is one of Georgetown's makers of fame—a meteor on the '"Varsity Tractc Team, showing his heels to all comers as a sprinter. His dad has been teaching him all the fine points of the political game, with a view of keeping the Senatorship in the family. If he can attain political eminence as quickly as he won his way into the heart of one of Washington's fairest, he need lose no time in selecting offices "on the hill."

LORENZO RICHARDS, OGDEN, UTAH.

"llie first test of a truly great man is his humility."

Richards is the tallest man in the Law School and the cynosure of all eyes when he enters the classroom or lecture-hall. His size, however, is not the only par­ticular in which he differs from most of us, for he was admitted to the District of Columbia bar at the end of his second year, and therefore is not now confronted with the terrors of a bar examination, as so many of us are. Our acquaintance with Richards during the past three years convinces us that a brilliant and suc­cessful career is in store for him upon his return to his native State.

CARL H. RICHMOND, WASHINGTON, D. C.

"What I must do is all that concerns me; not what people think."

Richmond has been a diligent student, and the result of his studious proclivities has been made known to all of us. Possessing as he does a logical mind and a de­cided aptitude for the law, it is difficult to see how he can be anything but successful when he begins to prac­tice his profession. His thirst for legal knowledge has not yet been satisfied, however, for it is his inten­tion to put in another year at Georgetown, pursuing post-graduate studies.

THOMAS DAVID RIORDAN, A.B., WASHINGTON, D. C,

I'rom Conunittee (1) (.3), Smoker Commitlee (3), Carroll Law Club.

"An artist, a philosopher, almost a poet."

Riordan is a quiet, unassuming young man, and the possessor of many friends. When not particularly interested in a lecture, "Tom" has occupied his time in drawing pictures of the professor, for, besides hav­ing an aptitude for the law, he is an artist of no mean ability. His popularity is unquestioned, and the State of Texas, which is to be the scene of his endeavors, will find in him an adopted son worthy of her best traditions. May good luck attend him!

CHARLES EDWARD ROBERTS, KANSAS CITY, MO.

Smoker Committee (3), Senior Debating Society,

"Such a man is well worth while."

Roberts is one of those men who believe that a mod­ern lawyer must also be a good business man. Con-sequentl}' he has been as deep a student of business administration as he has of the law, and holds a degree in the former profession. After hearing Judge Gould's stories of his experiences in Kansas City, Roberts has decided that he will practice law in Tulsa, Okla. He won't leave Georgetown for another year, however, as he intends to take a post-graduate course.

M. AARON ROOT, WASHINGTON, D. C.

"With many a wish the luck were ours To test his lamp's supernal powers."

Root is one of those practical, unassuming fellows who work with the utmost seriousness. He is careful and systematic, and gives evidence of a marked capac­ity for a business career. Inasmuch as he does not intend to practice law, we expect some day to hear ot his great successes in the business world. He has already spent eight years in preparation for his com­mercial career, and expects to return to Georgetown for a post-graduate course.

PAUL ROTHBERG, N E W YORK, N. Y.

Smoker Committee (1) (2).

"Fearless and unperplex'd. When I wage battle next."

Paul drinks deep from the fountain of knowdedge. He is another of the splendid type produced by the Empire State. W e have always liked him, and can bear witness to the fact that he came to Georgetown strictly for business. He is a fellow of quiet demeanor and a loyal friend to everybody. That he is a good student has been amply demonstrated by his splendid work in class. W e know that success will be yours, Paul, de­spite your unsavory prediction that you expect to starve at the practice of your profession.

EUGENE C. ROWLEY, JR., WASHINGTON, D. C,

"A prompt, decisive man, no breath Our father zvasted: 'Boys, a path!'"

Unless we sadly miss our guess, Rowley is going to make a big impression when he begins to practice his chosen profession in the District of Columbia. He be­longs to that lucky class of individuals who clearly see their goal ahead of them and set out with a will to prepare themselves as thoroughly and adequately as possible. Rowley always impressed us as knowing just what he was talking about, and this is a gift which unfortunately we do not all possess. He expects to return to Georgetown next year for a post-graduate course.

ALBERT THOMAS ROYER, COSHOCTON, OHIO.

Junior Debating Society, "There's music in the air."

Gaze gently, kind reader, upon this fair-haired youth. When not campaigning his native State on behalf of his favorite Congressman, he uses his spare moments playing a drum. If a drum isn't at hand, he sings. To our knowdedge, no one has ever mistaken his voice as belonging to somebody else. Royer has proved himself a good student of the law, and when he starts to prac­tice in Cleveland, O., we feel sure that he will enjoy the same great measure of popularity which he has enjoyed at Georgetown.

ISADORE R. RUBENSTEIN, JERSEY CITY, N. J.

"Diffused knozvledge immortalizes itself."

In "Ruby," behold an infant prodigy! From the first he has exhibited unmistakable signs of a master mind. ]\Iental alertness, combined with a capacity for retain­ing what he studies, has made him one of our best students. With the great majority of the corporations of the country organized under the laws of New Jersey, we entertain not the slightest doubt that "Ruby" will guide them aright in their legal controversies. .-Khead of him we can see only a starry career.

JOSEPH G. RUMLER, 0 A A, JACKSON, MICH.

Carroll Law Clnli, Senior Debating Society.

"Exceedingly zvell read."

Four years ago "Joe"' came to Georgetown with the firm determination to some day become a practitioner at the bar. Except for the period during which he was in the naval service, which prevented his graduating last year, he has taken advantage of every opportunity afforded him to fulfill his purpose. .\Imost any day he may be found either listening attentively to a case in court or devouring the contents of some musty law book. But "Joe" is not a "grind;" on the contrary, he is a "prince." The West is beckoning to this future' jurist, and we know that he will be equal to the occasion.

WILLIAM NOBLE RYDALCH, SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH.

"Nothing is more noble, nothing more venerable, than loyalty."

"Bill'' was born and raised out in the "Wild and Woolly West." When it came time to select a school for his law course, however, he naturally felt that he should attend the best in the country and, therefore, enrolled at Georgetown. He says that his three years with us have been the happiest and most profitable he has ever spent. It is but just to say in return that we have found him a worthy son of our .-Vlma Mater and a most congenial associate. W e are strongly of the oi)inion that "Bill's" career at the bar will be a credit to the Class of 1920.

BENICIO FELIPE SANCHEZ, CAROLINA, PORTO Rico.

Prom Conunittee (2), Smoker Committee (3).

"His native home deep imag'd in his soul."

Sanchez hails from a land of sunshine and happiness, which attributes are reflected in the radiance of his smile and the effervescence of his spirit. "Benny" is brilliant, and he has acquired a knowledge of things legal which should stand him in good stead when he becomes a member of the Porto Rican bar. It would be well-nigh superfluous to add that every member of the Class of 1920 is "Benny's" friend; and we all join in wishing him unbounded success in his career as a lawyer.

MONROE ROY SAYRE, CHICAGO, III.

Senior Debating Society.

"A finished gentleman from top to toe."

Roy hails from the Windy City, and possesses a breezy cheerfulness that enables him to form lasting friendships among his fellow-classmates. Georgetown is indebted to Chicago for sending her such a "regular" fellow and will welcome more of his kind. He has taken a keen interest in class activities and is one of the real students of the class. When drawn into a discussion, he has always expressed his opinion in a clear and convincing manner, and has made a very favorable impression upon his listeners. For Sayre we predict a brilliant future, and wish him never-ending success.

CLARENCE F. SCHATZ, WASHINGTON, D. C.

"Every man's reason is every man's oracle."

Schatz is another of our youthful shining lights. During his course at Georgetown he has absorbed a fund of legal lore that will surely make him a factor to be reckoned with when he enters upon his career as a lawyer. His ever-present good-nature will also inevit­ably contribute to his popularity in the community in which he practices. Clarence is to remain at George­town for another year, and upon obtaining his LL.M. will open an office at Covington, Ky,

IRVIN I. SCHLESINGER, 4) A, DES MOINES, IOWA.

Senior Debating Society, Junior Debating Society, Iowa Societ.v.

"He can hold his tongue in ten different languages."

Des Moines is responsible for "Irv," and we say without fear of contradiction that Des Moines will some day be proud of her responsibility, for he has evidenced marked potentialities for success in his chosen profes­sion. "Irv" is a man of few words and many thoughts. He has always been an industrious student and a highly-prized friend. The class wishes him unbounded success and good luck, and we feel sure that great credit will reflect upon Georgetown from the Western jurisdiction where he intends to practice.

ALFRED M. SCHWARTZ, 0 A, WASHINGTON, D. C.

"He zvas zvont to speak plain and to the purpose."

It is refreshing to meet men who strive for a definite goal and refuse to be swerved from its attainment. Such a man is "Al." Of a reticent disposition, he speaks only when necessary, but when he speaks he always has interested listeners. The reason? Deep thought plus personality—a personality that will linger long in the hearts of his many Georgetown friends. "Al" is a thorough student of the law", and has made a most creditable showing during his course.

JOSEPH P. SECHSER, SIOUX FALLS, S. D.

Senior Debating Society.

"'Tis he whose law is reason; who depends Upon that lazv as on the best of friends."

Sechser came to us from "out where the West be­gins," and a true Westerner he is, possessing those admirable qualities we've so often observed in men from that section of the good old U. S, A. There is plenty of room in the East for men of his ability and ambition, but this embryo lawyer intends to begin his practice in his native Sioux Falls. W e are confident that he cannot but succeed in his profession, and we shall expect to hear at no distant date that the South Dakota bar recognizes in Sechser one of its ablest members.

P R E W I T T SEMMES, OSCEOLA, ARK.

"All true work is sacred."

Here is a man who has the "jump" on us. He is already a member of a law firm, and as a regular part­ner, too. Some start! Prewitt has all the require­ments necessary for the successful practice of the law, not the least of which are a really charming personality and a highly developed sense of humor. He is a regular, dyed-in-the-wool, incurable Democrat. Pre­witt is far above the ordinary, and he will, no doubt, be a credit to Georgetown.

W I L L I A M CRAIG SHIPLEY, WASHINGTON, D. C.

Sphinx Club.

"Mind is the great lever of all things."

It is a real joy to know "Bill." He has mingled with us quietly and unobtrusively, but has come out with a "punch" when the curiosity of the quiz-masters has sought enlightenment and guidance in his opinion. Of varied and useful accomplishments is "Bill." His studies and experience in the field of accountancy al­ready qualify him as an expert, and we predict a bril­liant and remunerative career in the practice of the law. In moot court he came through like a seasoned veteran, and handled his case to a successful conclusion as smoothly as a member of any bar. Craig is going to "get there."

C L A U D E S H U N K , Los ANGELES, CAL.

"Lie that hath knowledge spareth his zvords."

Shunk claims California as his home, and came to Georgetovyn after "passing up" every other university in this fair land of ours, thus manifesting a soundness of judgment which should prove a valuable asset throughout his career. From the beginning he has dis­played a keenness for work, and his years at George­town have been most profitably spent. It is his inten­tion to practice law in Southern California, and we con­fidently expect that Shunk will rise to the heights of his profession.

LESTER L. SIEGEL, WASHINGTO.X, D. C,

"The proper qualities of a good leader are reason and discretion."

Lester is quiet, yet genial, and, above all, ambitious, and shows a much greater degree of maturity than is usual for one of such tender years. He has won the esteem of all his classmates, Siegel is a firm believer in the doctrine that "taxation without representation is tyranny," and he has therefore determined to per­suade Congress to grant to the people of the District the right of suffrage. Whether or not he will be siic-cessful in this undertaking, there is not a shadow of a doubt that he will be one of Washington's most promi­nent lawyers.

LEO EDMOND SIMONTON, ARLI.N^GTON, V A .

Carroll Law Club.

"Principle is ever my motto, not expediency."

"Si," as he is popularly known among his classmates, is a man with a lot of "push," and this quality, com­bined with his keen intellect, is certain, to bring him recognition among his associates at the bar. He has been a hard worker, faithful and conscientious at all times, and as a result has acquired a knowledge of the law of which he may well be proud. It is probable that "Si" will return for post-graduate work, in which event he will undoubtedly maintain the same high degree of scholarship that has marked his course thus far.

CHARLES E. A. SMITH, WASHINGTON, D. C.

Carroll La\v Club.

"To bear is to conquer our fate."

"Smithy" is a product of the District soon to add further brilliancy to the already justly illustrious D. C, Bar Association, A popular member of the class, he also rates the "glad hand" of everybody_ in the District, and all are pleased to know that he is about to receive an LL,B. from Georgetown. He does not intend to tear himself away from our "fount of legal wisdom" at once, however, for he will return in the fall and endeavor to secure the award of an LL.M. next year. He will deserve it, we feel sure, and also the measure of success which we know is to be his for the taking.

FRANCIS EDWARD SMITH, JR., WASHINGTON, D. C.

"His stately 'mien as zvell implied A high-born heart, a martial pride."

This tall, athletic and serious young man claims the District as his home and native heath. A graduate of a manual training school, he decided not to become an engineer, and instead turned his eyes to Georgetown L a w School with a view of becoming some day one of the District's leading barristers. Like many of his fellows. Smith had his studies interrupted by the war, spending fourteen months in the Marine Corps. W h o doubts that Smith, with his unobstrusive qualities of "stick-to-it-iveness" and determination, will fulfill all the best hopes of his many friends?

WILLIAM FRANCIS STARSINIC, STEELTON, PA.

"/ zvas born an American, I live an American, I shall die an American."

"Bill" comes from the good old Keystone State, and thati n itself gives him a good start. However, he does not need a start, i)ecause he has succeeded in develop­ing his natural ability and legal aptitude to a degree that assures him of success. Furthermore, he expects to stay with us another year for the post-graduate course, and when he finishes that, he will certainl}' have an excellent legal foundation to work upon. "Stars" is a mighty fine fellow to know; and he has a personality that will enable him to make the most of his legal training.

JOSEPH A. STUCKEY, A (-) $, BROKEN BOW, NEB,

"Be there, for once and all, Sever'd great minds from small."

After three years at Creighton College of Law and a turn in Uncle Sam's Army, "Joe" selected George­town for the finishing touches of his legal traini'ng before opening his potential offcein Mc.'\llen, Texas. Though he has been with us for only a short time, he has succeeded in making himself known to most of us; and we feel sure that he will give a good account of himself when he gets to practicing his profession. H e goes forth with the best wishes of everv member of the class.

^m JOSEPH F. STUDNICKA,

MILWAUKEE, _WIS.

"Small to greater matters must give way."

"Joe" says he feels just as happy now in Washing­ton as he would if he were in Milwaukee. The Eighteenth Amendment is the reason. He has been a good student, an esteemed friend and a loyal son of his Alma Mater. "Joe" does not intend to stay with us for a post-graduate course, but is going back to Wisconsin and there put into practice the valuable legal principles he has acquired at Georgetown. W e all wish him the best of luck.

ANGEL SUNTAY, HAGONOY, BULACAN, P. I.

"On their ozvn merits modest men are dumb."

To know Angelino, as he is known in Hagonoy, is to include him among one's intimate friends. This de­bonair son of our distant possession has won a host of admirers during his short stay with this year's class, his presence among us being felt for only a comparatively short time, inasmuch as the taking of but a few subjects this year was sufficient for him to secure his coveted degree. His fellow-classmates, however, all join in expressing their earnest desire to see Angel mingle high in Philippine legal circles. W e have implicit confidence that he will reflect great honor upon his Alma Mater as a lawyer and a jurist.

WILLIAM G. TACKABERRY, A.B., LEWISTON, MAINE.

"Ji'ho, not content that former worth stand fast. Looks forward, persevering to the last."

Tackaberry, though by no means old, has already per­formed feats which would do justice to men many years his senior. He is the fortunate possessor of qualities which ought to insure success at the bar, and that Tackaberry deserves to succeed can not be dis­puted, for he has been a hard worker. His many friends in the class will watch with interest his career, and it is the sincere wish of each one of us that after he has demonstrated his ability to the good people of the Pine Tree State, they may reward him with a seat in Congress.

HARRY A. TALLMAN, ST. JOSEPH, Mo.

Senior Debating Society, Junior Debating Society.

"Discretion of speech is more than eloquence."

There is no doubt that if a vote were taken to decide who is the quietest man in the class, Harry would witi by a large majority. Nevertheless his ac­customed silence has been invariably broken when called upon to recite, and he has impressed us with the fact that he really knows the law. Without much ado, and unknown to most of his friends, he took the bar examination for the District of Columbia last December, and passed. He plans to take the post­graduate course at Georgetown, and after receiving his LL.M,, he intends to engage in the practice of the law, but has not yet decided as to where he will locate.

FRANCIS D. THOMAS, A 0 0, WASHINGTON, D, C.

Sphinx Club.

"Genius must be born and never can be taught."

Thomas' ambition is to become the best patent attorney in the Capital, and it is seldom that one is endowed with the admirable combination of qualities that makes the realization of this ambition possible as is "Tommie," the optimist, the student, the gentleman! .Singularly fortunate in the possession of native ability, as well as of a pleasing personality, he has responded most generously to the beautiful influences of Washington life. Reluctantly we say good-bye to "Tommie," yet our con­fidence that his personality, studious disposition and legal capacity will bring him success, tempers the parting with satisfaction.

CHARLES M. THOMAS, A 0 0, WASHINGTON, D. C.

"The heights by great men reached * * * by toiling upzvxird in the night."

"The^ Sage of the Capital," as the subject of this sketch is known among us, will never be identified with the ordinary or the commonplace. He is distinctively individual in everything he does. He has his own patented way of breaking the rules which is as in­conspicuous as his compliance with them is always made noticeable. "Charlie," with his above-mentioned brother, is already meeting with success at the law of patents under the firm name of Bacon & Thomas and a prediction as to his future prosperity would be superfluous.

Ros\--cheeked is "Joe," with face like that of an un-kissed maiden, and smile as warm and engaging as the first breath of Spring. Does he remember when a cer­tain class of vendors (alas, poor Yorick! we knew him well) were prone to ask his age before sale? Joseph is quite sensitive over his youthful appearance, and insists that he shaves with a razor and not with a wet cloth as is alleged. His cheerj' disposition strikes a responsive chord in the hearts of his classmates, and he enjoys a popularity with which few are honored, A good student, "Joe" has the "push" and "go" to capitalize his knowdedge, and we confidently expect him to cross the wire of success in record time.

BENJAMIN H. TINGLE, DOUBLE SPRINGS, ALA.

"/ am going forth to battle, And life's uplands rise before me. And my golden shield is ready."

From the vine-clad hills of the South, where "the. woodpecker pecketh," came this distinguished-looking gentleman. This is not a good likeness of Tingle, however, for it lacks the smile, and Tingle without a smile is not the Tingle we know. Earnestness of pur­pose has characterized his work with us, and the stern eye of the quiz-master has never had to rest upon him. He is going back to his home town—can anyone be blamed for going back to a town with a name like that?—and hang out his shingle.

VINCENT R. TOOMEY, HAVERHILL, MASS.

Sergeant-at-Arms (3|. Smoker Committee (3), Massachusetts Club.

"A generous heart shozvs a noble mind."

We surely are proud of our Sergeant-at-Arms. He is indeed to be congratulated upon the success with vhich he has preserved order at all our class meetings. This young Hibernian has inherited from his forebears his due share of wit, as well as an inexhaustible supply of good nature. In addition, Toomey has won the admiration and respect of his classmates by his ability to answer promptly and correctly the most difficult questions propounded by the "profs." After another year at Georgetown, acquiring the coveted LL.M., Vincent will return to Massachusetts to achieve suc­cess at the bar of that good old Commonwealth.

there zvas nothing too great or too small."

"Joe" needs no introduction. He is an all-round, sincere, likeable fellow, and will leave a host of friends and admirers when he journeys back to Rhode Island to hang out the proverbial shingle. "Joe" separated himself from Georgetown during the war, and served as Vice-Consul of the United States at Paris. He has been a leading figure in al! class activities because of his recognized ability. As a student he ranks among the topnotchers, and his opinions on legal matters are usually supported by the weight of authority. W e like you, "Joe," and shall expect big things of you. May your career at the bar be an unbroken chain of successes !

J. LEROY TRAMBLEY, ERIE, PA.

Smoker Committee (3).

" This is a man. Take him for all in all; we shall not look upon his like again."

To be naturally versatile is "Joe's'' greatest asset. This accomplishment has made him the friend of every man in the class. If you want to see him at his best, put Durant with him—they will put an act over in good shape. His keen sense of humor, coupled with a trained and logical mind, predict success for him when he begins the practice of his profession in the District of Columbia. Whether you choose to become President of the Standard Oil Company or Secretary of the Navy, we're for you, "Joe," and wish you success !

PAUL TRAYNOR, 0 A A, WESTFIELD, N. J.

"Fame is no plant that grozvs on mortal soil."

One's first impression of Paul is that he is quiet and retiring, but how different he appears when entertaining six "sweeties" at a social function ! His tastes, however, have run to athletics during his sojourn with us, and his habit of calling "sixteen love'' may account for his popularity with the ladies. A "regular fellow" is Paul— one of the most amiable of men, always cheerful, and a good friend. His quiet efficiency and ability will carry him through any problem which we can imagine, and we look for his early success in the practice of the law.

PHILIP J. VIEHMANN, WASHINGTON, D. C.

"Worth makes the man."

"Phil" is another Washington boy, and Georgetown is proud of him. As a student he has won our esteem and respect because of his exactness in mastering the many intricacies of the law. As a classmate he has won our friendship because of his splendid personality. From our intimate association with him, we know that his success is assured. One would hardly suspect from "Phil's" appearance that he is a father, yet such he is forsooth, and proud of it. Good luck, old man; may your progress on the road to prosperity never be impeded!

"Such sweet compulsion doth in music lie."

Behold a Rhode Islander dressed in all his^ trim. He alighted in our midst in the fall of 1917 "to be shown and not to show," as he expressed it. Besides being a keen and conscientious student, he is pos­sessed of a wealth of musical talent which he_ has demonstrated on several occasions. "V" had experience at the legal game before coming to Georgetown, and this, together with his brilliant record while with us, should give him a good start on the road to success. Beloved by all who know him, he goes back to New­port to practice law, blessed with the best luck his friends can wish him.

JAMES JOSEPH WALSH, A.B., WASHINGTON, D. C.

Prom Committee (2), Carroll Law Club,

"To those who knozv thee not, no words can paint!^ And those zvho know thee, know all words are faint!"

"Jim" is a native Washingtonian and has, therefore, been called upon many times to defend "the best city in the world" from the many verbal attacks launched against it by members of the class who are domiciled here while obtaining their legal education. He has proved himself an apt student, and many times have we awakened from a nap during a lecture to find "Jim" still following the professor without so much as wink­ing an eye. Walsh is undecided as yet whether or not he will practice law, but whatever may be his under­takings, he will have the best wishes of all who know him.

"Learn to labor and to wait."

Some men arc brilliant enough to succeed without a college degree, and such is the case with "Ed." He was a member of the Class of 1915 until our ever-welcome, irresistible friend, Cupid, added him to his list of casuals. Until this year he has been so busy with his home life and making a name for himself as a patent attorney and counselor that it has been impossible for him to complete his law course, but fortunately we can count him one of the Class of 1920. May good luck ever attend him.

R O B E R T BATES W A R R E N , A 0 0, CLAYTON, ALA.

"Beholding the bright countenance of truth in the quiet and still air of delightful studies."

Discontinuing his studies at the University of Vir-g:inia early in 1917, Bates enlisted in the Naval Avia­tion Corps, and in due time was given a commission. Since joining our ranks, he has made a friend of every man with whom he has associated, and we all have the highest respect for his ability as a student. Bates has informed us that the field of endeavor for men seeking financial returns is real estate. Despite this con­viction on his part, however, it is his intention to prac­tice law. Our best wishes are with you, Bates, and we shall be anxiously waiting to hear of your attainments in the legal world.

"Worth makes the man."

Behold, a namesake and descendant of the famous justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, Bushrod Washington of Virginia! But with all this goodly legal heritage, "Bush" says he is going to be an accountant and not a lawyer. His resolve to reject the practice of law seems almost like a defiance of Fate, but his alert mind and aggressive disposition as­sure him success in whatever he attempts. The class is backing you, "Bush," and we believe we are backing a sure winner.

"Give me of every language, first my vigorous English."

"Orie" came to us from Rhode Island State College, and tells us that his home is in Narraganset Pier. He will not return there, however—which argues well for his good, sound sense—but will try out Providenceandgivethecitizens of that busy city the benefit of his ability and copious knowledge of the law. Despite his quiet demeanor, he has taken a prominent part in debating matters, and we are entirely safe in predicting that he will have no difficulty whatever in making his points clear to opposing counsel.

"My heart is ever at your service."

George needs no introduction, for by his "pep" and pleasing manner he has won a host of friends. When he first came to Georgetown it was apparent that this clever young man from the Bay State would make an excellent exponent of law and order, so he was elected sergeant-at-arms of the Freshman class. Ever since then he has been a factor in class politics. When the great emergency arose, George joined the Marines as a cadet aviator. In due time he was back at the law, however, with the same wholehearted enthusiasm as before. The door of success stands wide open, George, and we know that you'll "make good."

Here is one of our real "live wires." This handsome young lawyer will make them all "lay back their ears and listen" wherever he goes, Whelan is going to cut loose in New York City, where he can have plenty of room, and we'll say he can fill a lot of room. He is not afraid to talk, and he says something when he does. His sincere enthusiasm has given "pep" galore to the many school organizations of which he is a member. Harry feels that an LL.M would look well after his name, and he is therefore going to return next year for a post-graduate course.

".Still water runs deep."

In "Deacon," as he is known to his friends, who num­ber many, we have a good fellow and a loyal friend. He has little to say, but when he speaks he com­mands our profound attention and respect. He hails from Tennessee, and with his sheepskin tucked safely under his arm he expects to return thither and try his wits at the bar of that State, That Fortune may smile upon him when he enters upon the practice of his profession is the sincere wish of his classmates.

ALBERT R. WILLIAMS, NORWOOD, OHIO,

"See golden days, fruitfid of g:lden deeds. With joy and love triumphing."

Albert is one of those fellows who never say much, but he is liked by everybody, nevertheless. He is genial and courteous and always looks happy. He does not intend to leave Georgetown after receiving his LL.B,, but is coming back to advance further in the field of legal knowledge and work for an LL,M, Upon com­pleting his studies, Albert contemplates practising his profession in the District of Columbia. It goes with­out saying that if he applies himself as assiduously to his practice as he has to his studies during the past three years, he will be a success.

LESTER WOOD, 0 A A, SALT L.-VKE CITY, U T A H .

Smoker Conunittee (2), Sphinx Club.

"Above our life we love a steadfast friend."

With a disposition as sunny as the Golden West from whence he comes, the Titian-haired "Woody" has en­deared himself to all his fellows during his school ca­reer, and our three years' association with him has demonstrated beyond peradventure of doubt that he is a charter member of the Regular Fellows' League and a first-class student to boot. The same personality which he has exhibited to us, coupled with his keen mind and a ready tongue, will make smooth for him the path of his professional life, which will undoubtedly lead to the veriest heights of success.

HAROLD J. ZERINGER, A.B., HouiMA, LA.

"Long shall we seek his likeness—long in vain."

That Zeringer will have a title role in the "World's Affairs," we have no doubt. After receiving his A. BJ at St. Paul's College, it is only natural that he should have chosen our Alma Mater for his LL.B. This young orator is well prepared. His classroom recitations be­speak for him a successful career as a lawyer. George­town is glad to claim Zeringer as her own—he has proved himself a worthy son. He has been one of the mainstays of the debating societies, and his Aristotelean characteristics make him a fitting disciple of Blackstone.

DIONISIO JOSE VELASCO, Ph.B., A.M., HAVANA, CUP..\.

"0 grant an honest fame, or grant me none."

The fame of our .\lma Mater as an institution of learning is by no means confined to the continental limits of the Unitedi States, for even Sunny Cuba is represented in the personnel of the Class of 1920—and well represented, too. for Velasco is certainly a man of considerable ability. During his course at the Law School he has succeeded in acquiring a knowledge of the law that ought to insure for him a lucrative prac­tice, but our Cuban friend does not contemplate em­barking upon a legal career, nevertheless. _ Our associa­tion with him, however, justifies the prediction that he will rise to the heights in whatever field of endeavor he may engage.

*.-.

F necessity the history of this class begins on the night of October i, 1917. It could not have begun any sooner without the consent of tlie Facuhy, because that day saw the opening of the 1917-1918 session of the school. There was nothing extraordinary about our induction into the study of the law; it was a wholly conventional

proceeding—surprising as tliat may seem to those who know something of our subsequent record—there were no serious casualties, and all present at the open­ing ceremony, it is said, had a good time. However, to go on with the history, one by one, on that fated night, we found our way with great timidity and caution to the auditorium, where the opening exercises were to be held, and there we waited with bated breath for the opening gun. Our patience was rewarded in due time by the appearance on the platform of the Faculty. W e were welcomed to the University by Father Donlon, then President, and to the Law Department by Dean Hamilton; we were told by Dr. Boutell, Professors Easby-Smith, Gould, Baker, O'Donoghue, Laskey and others of the serious side of the legal profession, and also something of the bright side. To all of this we listened attentively, and now that we can look back upon that day in retrospect, is it too much to say that the high-minded advice which we then received constituted the real foundation upon which all of our learning at the school was builded? I think not I

The history of our class in its first year at the school is of course vague in our memories, and necessarily so. T w o long and eventful years have elapsed since the care-free Freshman days, and to refresh the recollection of m y readers as to all of the individuals and all of the incidents prominent at that time is obviously beyond the scope of this article; but surely no history of the class would deserve the name -without at least passing reference to some of the out­standing features of our first year. There were the elections, of course, which gave the class its first set of officers, consisting of Charles H. Ruth, President; Durbin, Gavin, Mulvahill and Twyman, Vice-Presidents; Corcoran, Secretary; Koenig, Treasurer; Hurley, Historian, and Knepper, Sergeant-at-Arms. (Of these officers it is interesting to note that Durbin, Gavin and Hurley alone will graduate; Ruth, a captain in the Army, was forced to leave early in 1918; Mulva­hill, Corcoran, Koenig and Knepper were in the service out of Washington dur-

ing the 1918-1919 term or the greater part of it, and returned in time to join the present Junior Class; T w y m a n left in 1918 to go to Cuba, and has not as yet returned to the school.) After the elections came the smoker, and this was followed by the Prom—bang-up successes, both of them, socially and financially.

All in all, there are no regrets over our first year. W e succeeded in electing a strong set of officers, and the class social and financial affairs were efficiently handled; indeed, so efficiently handled by those responsible that at the end of the year we had a bank balance to our credit. Most important, however, we weath­ered the exams, despite our fears and tremblings prior thereto, and the merry month of June found us determined to come back for more law—lots more!

Anyhow, October, 1918, found many of us back at Georgetown—and many of us in the training camps in this country and overseas in the service. The class had taken on a martial aspect; everybody, it seemed, was in a uniform—and those not in uniform were engaged in Government work—all of which seemed to ofifer conclusive evidence that the United States was in the v.'ar, and, what's more, determined to win it. But, as I say, we came back for the Junior year. There was the opening session, with its memories of our own entree and its thrills, and the settling down to work, which was soon possible. The elections came, and resulted in the selection of Bob Azar as President; N e w and Durbin, Vice-Presidents; Brady, Secretary; Cullen, Treasurer, and Kennerly, Sergeant-at-Arms. Gehan was later designated as Class Historian. To keep us interested and profitably occupied in the Junior year we had, among other things, the study of C o m m o n Law Pleading, we had Real Property II, and more which I could enumerate, but refrain from doing so because I don't want it said that I had any desire to put a dash of cold water in this B O O K E . And then, in the way of diver­sion, we had our class smoker and our class Prom. The smoker was managed by Joe O'Mahoney, and, of course, was a success; the Prom was handled by John Hardell and his committee, and will linger long in the memories of all who were in attendance.

The early part of June, 1919, saw the curtain fall upon our Junior 3'ear and its activities—at least for those of us who had successfully negotiated the mid­year and final examinations—nearly all, by the way. W e were, forsooth, ready to try for new honors, every confidence was ours, for but one year—as nothing in the eyes of youth—lay between us and our degrees. The gates were opening to us, and we chafed at the bit.

Seniors at last! W e were dignity personified on that first night of our last year at the law school, and why not, pray? Were we not of the elect? W h o had better right to glance pityingly upon the incoming Freshmen and toler­antly upon the Juniors! W e were, in very truth, sitting upon the world! Not for long, however. The Faculty did not seem to be much impressed b}' our new status; our dignity faded as the flowers in the sun in the courts of Judges Gatley and Yeatman. W h o , I ask, could be expected to come out of Professor O'Don-oghue's class on Pleading with aught but a wilted collar, and who has remembered to be dignified in the classes of Professor Smyth and Professor Boutell? Tliere was studying to be done, and we all did it. It made some of us prematurely old, no doubt, but we stood the siege.

The Senior year organization of the Class of 1920 was effected soon after our return to the school. The offices were especially coveted, and candidates— their proponents and opponents—were on every hand. The night of the election found us an excited lot. It was conceded by all that the fight for President lay between Joe O'Mahoney, Bud Barry and Jim Caffery. N o odds were given on any man that night, and all predictions were for a close race. And close
